Pursuant to the Plan, the Issuer issued an aggregate of 27,030,000 shares of Common Stock to holders of Allowed Noteholder Claims (as defined in the Plan), which includes the Reporting Persons. In addition, on the Effective Date, the Issuer issued an aggregate of 2,970,000 shares of Common Stock to participants in its supplemental debtor-in-possession credit facility, which includes the Reporting Persons, in respect of the equity fee earned under the facility.

Prior to the Issuer emerging from bankruptcy protection, the Reporting Persons acquired 7 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015, issued by the Issuer and guaranteed by all of its United States subsidiaries, 8 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2013, issued by the Issuer and guaranteed by some of its United States subsidiaries, and variable rate toggle senior subordinated notes due 2013, issued by the Issuer and guaranteed by all of its United States subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Debt”) in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to the Plan, the Reporting Persons acquired the 6,762,871 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the Debt.

The Reporting Persons also acquired approximately $50,694,571 worth of 12% Senior Subordinated Toggle Notes of the Issuer due 2019 (the “12% Notes”) pursuant to the Plan. The terms of the 12% Notes are set forth in the indenture between the Issuer and its United States subsidiaries, as guarantors, and the U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the Reporting Persons will continue as lenders to the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer’s credit facility.

Board Appointment Rights

Pursuant to the Plan, the following individuals, together with Kent J. Hussey, have been appointed to, and have become members of, the Issuer’s board of directors: Kenneth C. Ambrecht, Eugene I. Davis, Mark S. Kirschner, Norman S. Matthews, Terry L. Polistina and Hugh R. Rovit. Pursuant to the Plan and under a restructuring support agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”), the Reporting Persons, along with two other Consenting Noteholders (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) of the Issuer, had designated these individuals for nomination as directors, who were then approved by the Issuer’s then existing directors and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas. Mr. Hussey has been elected as the chairman of the Issuer’s board of directors.

The right of the Reporting Persons to designate the above individuals for nomination as directors provided under the Plan terminated upon the effectiveness of the Plan, and the Reporting Persons no longer have such right.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The responses to Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference.

On the Effective Date, the Issuer and the Reporting Persons entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the 12% Notes (the “Notes Registration Rights Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement with the respect to the Common Stock, other securities in respect of the Common Stock and other equity of the Issuer (the “Equity Registration Rights Agreement”). The terms of the registration rights agreements were negotiated with representatives of the Reporting Persons in the context of the Issuer’s chapter 11 reorganization and in consideration for their support of the Plan pursuant to Restructuring Support Agreement.

Notes Registration Rights Agreement

The Notes Registration Rights Agreement provides for certain registration rights for the benefit of the Reporting Persons and their eligible transferees, in each case provided and for so long as the Reporting Persons own at least 1% of the total outstanding principal amount of 12% Notes.

“Shelf” Registration

The Issuer agreed to file a “shelf” registration statement providing for registration and sales on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of their 12% Notes and to keep such registration statement continuously effective until the date that the 12% Notes have been sold pursuant to the registration statement or until such securities may be sold by the Reporting Persons under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without the volume or manner restrictions of such rule. The Reporting Persons may request the Issuer to supplement the “shelf” registration statement to permit the sale or distribution of additional 12% Notes having an anticipated aggregate price to the public (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than $5 million.

Demand Registrations

The Reporting Persons are entitled to request two demand registrations. The 12% Notes requested to be registered pursuant to any such request must have an anticipated aggregate price to the public (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than $25 million.

Page 24 of 30

S-3 Registrations

The Reporting Persons are entitled to demand that the Issuer effect one or more registrations under Form S-3 of the Securities Act, if at such time the Issuer is eligible to use Form S-3 and provided that the Reporting Persons make such demand with respect to 12% Notes having an anticipated aggregate price to the public (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than $5 million.

Piggyback Registrations

The Reporting Persons also are entitled to unlimited piggyback registration rights, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Expenses

Generally, all registrations pursuant to the Notes Registration Rights Agreement will be at the Issuer’s expense, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of one counsel to the Reporting Persons (and their respective affiliates). The Issuer is not obligated to pay transfer taxes and brokerage and underwriters’ discounts and commissions attributable to the 12% Notes being sold by the Reporting Persons.

The Notes Registration Rights Agreement also contains other customary terms and provisions, including hold-back provisions, provisions relating to priority in registrations and provisions relating to suspension and delay.

Equity Registration Rights Agreement

The Equity Registration Rights Agreement provides substantially identical rights regarding the resale of the Common Stock for the benefit of the Reporting Persons and their eligible transferees as are provided in the Notes Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Note Registration Rights Agreement and the Equity Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 99.6 and 99.7, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Other than as described in this Schedule 13D and the agreements attached here to and incorporated herein by reference, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
