Material Changes and Covenants

Future guarantees may be required from other subsidiaries if they guarantee the Issuer's revolving credit facility.

Investor Verification Checklist

- Review the specific percentage threshold for the "total unencumbered assets" covenant in the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (Exhibit 4.2).
- Confirm the status of the Company's revolving credit facility and whether additional subsidiaries are required to provide guarantees.
