Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as stated below, there have been no material changes to the Partnership's risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2020, as updated and supplemented in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020.
The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation may not be consummated. If the Exchange Offer is unsuccessful, we will file for bankruptcy.
Our ability to consummate the Exchange Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or, where possible, waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum for the Exchange Offer. Although we satisfied the Minimum Tender Condition, there is no assurance that such other conditions will be satisfied. In the event that we are unable to consummate the Exchange Offer, we will file for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, whether or not voluntary, would trigger an automatic default under our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our 2021 Notes. In the event the Restructuring Support Agreement is terminated, our debtholders could, after receiving appropriate relief from the bankruptcy court, foreclose on the collateral under these agreements. An automatic default under our revolving credit facility or indenture governing our 2021 Notes or the termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement would have a material negative effect on our business, ongoing operations and reputation. In a foreclosure, there may be insufficient collateral to satisfy claims of our unsecured creditors. Moreover, the bankruptcy court could, upon a showing of cause, convert a chapter 11 reorganization into a chapter 7 liquidation, which would likely result in significantly smaller distributions to our creditors.
The Plan may have a material adverse effect on our operations.
In the event that we are unable to consummate the Exchange Offer, we believe that Chapter 11 Cases filed with the vote of more than 50% in number of holders of the 2021 Notes that cast ballots with respect to the Plan (the "Requisite Acceptance Vote") could be resolved expeditiously with minimal disruption to our business. Indeed, upon a commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, we would attempt to convey the benefits of the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases to our existing and potential customers, employees, creditors, equityholders and other stakeholders. If the Chapter 11 Cases are necessary, we believe that consummation of the Plan would improve our consolidated balance sheet and capital structure by extending the maturity of certain of our debt, and minimizing the business disruptions and potential customer defections by limiting uncertainty as to our viability as a going concern and the period of time during which the we are subject to such uncertainty. However, our solicitation of votes to accept the Plan (the "Plan Solicitation") and any subsequent commencement of Chapter 11 Cases could adversely affect the relationships between us and our existing and potential customers, employees, creditors and other stakeholders and subject us to other direct and indirect adverse consequences. For example:
• customers may decrease or eliminate business with us;
• employees could be distracted from performance of their duties, or more easily attracted to other career opportunities;
• it may become more difficult to retain, attract or replace key employees;
• vendors and suppliers could restrict or eliminate trade credit;
• certain of our suppliers may demand deposits or other security; and
• if we were not able to confirm and implement a plan of reorganization, we may be forced to liquidate under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

In addition, these factors could adversely affect our ability to obtain confirmation of the Plan.
