The foregoing discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Services Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrants and the Nomination Letter Agreement copies of which are filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5, 99.10, 99.11, 99.12 and 99.13, respectively, to the Schedule 13D and are incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing discussion is also qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Financing Warrant, Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the 1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.6, 10.12, 4.1 and 10.14, respectively, to the Form 8-K (as defined below) and are incorporated by reference herein, and the Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to Form 8-K dated November 14, 2007 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

ITEM 6.    CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 6 is amended by appending the following text:

On March 15, 2017, as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on that date (the “ Form 8-K ,” with capitalized terms used below not defined herein having the meanings ascribed to them in the Form 8-K), in connection with certain refinancing transactions, the Issuer issued to ESAS Financing Warrants representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 5,017,922 shares of Common Stock (the “ Financing Warrants ”) and entered into the Note Purchase Agreement for the purchase of the 1.5 Lien Notes. The Financing Warrants became exercisable upon the receipt of Requisite Shareholder Approval on May 31, 2017.

None of the Reporting Persons are entitled to exercise a vote with respect to the Shares underlying the Financing Warrants.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Financing Warrants may not be exercised if, as a result of such exercise, the beneficial ownership of such holder of such Financing Warrant or its affiliates and any other person subject to aggregation with such holder or its affiliates under Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act would exceed 50% of the total voting power of the voting capital stock of the Issuer or any of its direct or indirect parent entities (the “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ”).

Each of the Financing Warrants has an exercise term of five years from May 31, 2017 and may be exercised by cash or cashless exercise, provided that the Issuer may require cashless exercise if the cash exercise of any Financing Warrant would negatively impact the Issuer’s ability to utilize net operating losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Financing Warrants are subject to an anti-dilution adjustment in the event that the Issuer issues Shares or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share less than the applicable exercise price of the Financing Warrants. In addition, the Financing Warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event of stock splits, dividends, subdivisions, combinations, reclassifications and other similar events.


The 1.5 Lien Notes are governed by the Indenture entered into by the Issuer and other parties. Pursuant to the Indenture, interest accrues at a cash interest rate of 8% per annum, and interest will be payable March 20 and September 20 of each year, commencing on September 20, 2017. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Issuer may, at its discretion prior to December 31, 2018 and subject to certain limitations thereafter, make PIK interest payments on the 1.5 Lien Notes in Shares or in issuances of additional 1.5 Lien Notes at a PIK interest rate of 11% per annum.

ESAS holds $47.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.75 Lien Term Loans, which are governed by the 1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the 1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, interest accrues at a cash interest rate of 12.5% per annum, and interest will be payable March 20, June 20, September 20 and December 20 of each year, commencing on June 20, 2017. Under the terms of the 1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Issuer may, at its discretion prior to December 31, 2018 and subject to certain limitations thereafter, make PIK interest payments on the 1.75 Lien Term Loans in Shares or in issuances of additional 1.75 Lien Term Loans at a PIK interest rate of 15% per annum.

Under the Indenture and the 1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, the price of the Issuer’s Shares for determining PIK payments is based on the trailing 20-day volume weighted average price as at the end of the Determination Date. The Issuer’s ability to make PIK payments in Shares under the terms of the Indenture and the 1.75 Lien Term Loans is subject to various conditions, including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

Simultaneously with the closing of the refinancing transactions, the Issuer entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with certain of the Reporting Persons and other parties, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed, upon certain terms and conditions, to register the resale of the Shares underlying the Financing Warrants by June 30, 2017. In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement provides certain incidental “piggy-back” registration rights, which generally allow the holders of the Financing Warrants to participate in registered offerings of the Issuer’s Shares that are initiated by the Issuer or on behalf of other holders of the Issuer’s securities.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Act, the Reporting Persons have entered into an agreement on June 15, 2017 with respect to the joint filing of this Amendment No. 1 and any amendment or amendments hereto (the “ Joint Filing Agreement ”). The Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6.

The foregoing descriptions of the Financing Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the 1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of Financing Warrant, Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the 1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.6, 10.12, 4.1 and 10.14, respectively, to the Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
