Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year at a rate of 8.75% per annum. The 8.75% Notes mature on April 1, 2015. The 8.75% Notes were issued for $786,000, resulting in an aggregate original issuance discount of $14,000. Substantially all of our domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee our obligations under the 8.75% Notes on a senior unsecured basis.

In August 2009, we issued $257,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due September 1, 2015 (the “9.75% Notes”).

The 9.75% Notes and related guarantees are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantors.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we purchased $38,316 and $70,888, respectively, in aggregate principal amounts of the 9.75% Notes for an aggregate purchase price, inclusive of interest, of $41,875 and $77,440, respectively. We recognized an aggregate loss on the extinguishment of the 9.75% Notes of $4,054 and $7,832 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, consisting primarily of unamortized discount, deferred financing fees and repayment premium, to Loss on extinguishment of debt and credit facilities, net.

In July 2008, we issued $778,500 aggregate principal amount of 13% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “13% Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year at a rate of 13% per annum. The 13% Notes mature on August 1, 2013. Substantially all of our domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee our obligations under the 13% Notes.

(d)
7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014

In August 2008, we issued $550,000 aggregate principal amount of 7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Exchangeable Notes”). The Exchangeable Notes are senior subordinated obligations and rank junior in right of payment to our existing and future senior debt and equally in right of payment with our existing and future senior subordinated debt. Substantially all of our domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries have guaranteed the Exchangeable Notes on a senior subordinated basis.

Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a rate of 7% per annum. The Exchangeable Notes mature on December 1, 2014. The Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at any time at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at an initial exchange rate of 533.3333 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes, which is equivalent to an approximate exchange price of $1.875 per share of common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the common stock reserved for exchange in connection with the Exchangeable Notes were considered to be dilutive in our calculation of diluted net income per share as our stock price was greater than the exchange price as of June 30, 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Exchangeable Notes were considered to be anti-dilutive.
