(the "Issuer") rights offering, as described in the Issuer's prospectus dated February 13, 2019 (the "Prospectus"), by Ascribe III Investments LLC ("Fund III"), with each right entitling the holder to purchase $100 principal amount of the Issuer's 5.00% subordinated convertible PIK notes due 2020 (the "Notes") at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. Fund III acquired the Notes that were not subject to the exercise of its rights in the Rights Offering pursuant to the backstop commitment letter, dated November 16, 2018, filed as exhibit 10.4 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 23, 2018.

Interest on the Notes will be payable on each June 30 and December 31, commencing on June 30, 2019. Interest on the Notes will be payable solely by issuing additional Notes in an amount equal to the applicable amount of interest for the interest period (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar).
The amount of shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons may receive upon mandatory conversion of the Notes is unknown at the time of filing.
