Basically, what the amendments do is change the definition of “special payments” to include all special payments. The original bill talked about solvency, and the amendments talk about unfunded liabilities as well as solvency deficiencies. So basically, all special payments to liquidate all unfunded liabilities at the time of bankruptcy would have super-priority. Instead of “missed payments”, “all special payments”. So solvency would be at the end of payments. That amount, that difference, would have super-priority.
