The notes are secured by liens on all collateral that secures the Company's obligations under its Credit Agreement, subject to limited exceptions. The liens securing the notes share on an equal and ratable first priority basis with liens securing the Company's Credit Agreement. Under the intercreditor agreement, the collateral agent for the lenders under the Company's Credit Agreement is generally entitled to sole control of all decisions and actions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">10.5% Senior Notes due 2017 (Formerly Secured prior to April 3, 2012)</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The indenture governing the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">10.5%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> Senior Notes provides that all the liens securing the notes may be released if the Company's total amount of secured indebtedness, other than the 10.5% Senior Notes, does not exceed the lesser of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$375.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">15.0%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the Company's consolidated tangible assets.
