Supplemental Indenture financial
"entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), by and among the Company"
A supplemental indenture is a written amendment to the original bond agreement that changes specific terms of a debt contract, such as payment schedules, interest rates, collateral or covenant protections. Investors care because it alters the legal rights and risks tied to a security — like renegotiating a mortgage where the lender and borrower agree to new rules — and can affect a bond’s credit quality, yield and market value.
First Lien Notes financial
"for the Company’s existing 9.80% First Lien Notes due 2028 (the "First Lien Notes")"
First lien notes are debt securities backed by specific assets that give their holders the top legal claim on those assets if the borrower can’t pay—think of them like a primary mortgage on a property: whoever holds the first lien gets paid off first from the sale. They matter to investors because that priority reduces the risk of losing principal compared with unsecured or lower-priority debt, usually meaning more protection but typically a lower yield.

An indenture is a legal agreement between a company that borrows money by issuing bonds and the people who buy those bonds.
