This Agreement and the Security Documents are intended to secure the unpaid principal of and accrued interest and premium, if any, on the Senior Public Notes equally and ratably with all indebtedness and other obligations of the Trustors under the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the Security Documents to the extent required by the Indenture, and shall be construed and enforced to give effect to such intention.
