  • No Trading Market For Notes (new) — The notes are a new security with no existing market and will not be listed on any exchange, making it difficult for investors to sell them.

  • Limited Covenants (new) — The indenture for the notes will not contain meaningful covenants, allowing the company to take on additional debt or other actions without noteholder protection.
