Interest
Interest on the Senior Secured Notes will be payable semiannually in arrears on
October 1 and April 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2010. Cash interest on
the Senior Secured Notes will accrue at a rate ranging from 10% to 10.50% per
annum and PIK Interest (as defined below) will accrue at a rate ranging from
0.50% to 1.50% per annum, in each case depending on the aggregate principal
amount of Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Notes issued. "PIK Interest" is

discount ranging from 0 to 4% depending on the exercise price of the Warrants
except that the discount shall not exceed 2% if the aggregate principal amount

Ranking
The Senior Secured Notes will be the Company's senior secured obligations and
will rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness;
rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future
senior indebtedness; will be effectively senior in right of payment to the
Company's existing and future unsecured indebtedness, including the Convertible
Notes to the extent of the collateral securing the Senior Secured Notes; will be
effectively subordinated in right of payment to indebtedness under the Company's
amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of March 31, 2009, to the extent
of the collateral securing such indebtedness on a first-priority basis; and
effectively will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company's non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Guarantees
The Senior Secured Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a
senior secured basis by each of the Company's existing and future direct or
indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Such
subsidiary guarantors are collectively referred to herein as the "subsidiary
guarantors," and such subsidiary guarantees are collectively referred to herein
as the "subsidiary guarantees." Each subsidiary guarantee will rank senior in
right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the
subsidiary guarantor; rank equally in right of payment with all existing and
future senior indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantor; will be effectively
subordinated in right of payment to indebtedness under the Company's Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement to the extent of the collateral securing such
indebtedness on a first-priority basis; and will be effectively subordinated in
right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities
of any subsidiary of a subsidiary guarantor that is not also a guarantor of the
Senior Secured Notes.
Security
The Senior Secured Notes and subsidiary guarantees will be secured by
second-priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the
Company's domestic assets and substantially all of the domestic assets of the
subsidiary guarantors.
Optional Redemption
At any time prior to October 1, 2013, the Company will be entitled at the
Company's option to redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a
redemption price of 100%, plus a premium equal to the remaining interest
payments on the Senior Secured Notes and accrued and unpaid interest. On and
after October 1, 2013, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Secured
Notes at a redemption price of 100%, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
At any time and from time to time prior to October 1, 2012, the Company may
redeem Senior Secured Notes with the net cash proceeds received by the Company
from certain equity offerings at a price equal to 100% plus the interest rate of
the Senior Secured Notes (including PIK Interest) multiplied by the principal
amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in an
aggregate principal amount for all such redemptions not to exceed 35% of the
original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, provided that
the redemption takes place within 120 days after the closing of the related
equity offering, and not less than 65% of the original aggregate principal
amount of the Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding immediately thereafter.

indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, each holder of the Senior Secured
Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of
such holder's Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
repurchase date.

pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"). The Company will be obligated to file a shelf registration
