- Subordination of Contract Adjustment Payments (new) — Contract adjustment payments are subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness, meaning holders may not receive payments if PPL defaults on senior debt.
- Holding Company Structure (new) — PPL is a holding company with substantially all assets held by subsidiaries; its ability to meet obligations under the guarantees depends on dividends from subsidiaries, which are separate legal entities.
