Item 3. Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

As described in Item 4 below, on the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan (as defined below), the Old Secured Notes and Old Common Stock held by Gen IV were cancelled and the Issuer issued to Gen IV an aggregate of 2,369,769 shares of Common Stock and 321,074 Warrants (as defined below) in exchange for such Old Secured Notes and Old Common Stock.  No borrowed funds were used to purchase the shares of Common Stock.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D and the Exhibits to this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.

The Issuer and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Chapter 11 Cases,” and such court, the “Bankruptcy Court”) on August 7, 2019. On September 24, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Debtors’ Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization, as modified by the Confirmation Order (the “Plan”). On October 8, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. The descriptions of the Plan and the Confirmation Order included in this Schedule 13D do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, which were filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K on September 26, 2019. All capitalized terms used in this section but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

On the Effective Date, by operation of the Plan, (i) the holders of the Issuer’s common stock existing immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Old Common Stock”) received (among other things), in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of such Old Common Stock, their pro rata share of certain warrants issued by the Issuer (as described below, the “Warrant Equity”) and (ii) holders of the Issuer’s 6.75% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Old Secured Notes”) received (among other things), in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of such Old Secured Notes, their pro rata share of approximately 91% of the outstanding Common Stock as of the Effective Date, subject to dilution by the Rights Offering Equity, the Warrant Equity, the MIP Equity, and the New Common Shares issued pursuant to the Backstop Commitment Premium.  Accordingly, the Old Secured Notes and Old Common Stock held by Gen IV were exchanged for an aggregate of 2,369,769 shares of Common Stock and 321,074 Warrants.

Under the Plan, Gen IV was entitled to designate one member of the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) upon its emergence from reorganization proceedings. Gen IV appointed David Chang. Mr. Chang serves as Vice President at LSP Advisors where he is responsible for originating and managing investments in the energy sector across capital structures.

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Person has no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Common Stock and Warrants issued to Gen IV on the Effective Date will be held for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons will continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and the Common Stock in particular, other developments and other investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Common Stock or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Common Stock presently held by the Reporting Persons in the open market or in private transactions. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Common Stock, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Person may deem material to its investment decision. Although the Reporting Persons do not have any particular plans or proposals at present, the Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time in the future express their views to and/or meet with management, Issuer’s board of directors, other shareholders or third parties, including, potential acquirers, service providers and financing sources, and/or formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer, its assets or its securities, and may take other steps seeking to bring about changes to increase shareholder value. Such proposals or positions may include one or more plans that relate to the Issuer’s business, management, capital structure and allocation, corporate governance, board composition and strategic alternatives and direction

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Issuer, Gen IV and the other signatories thereto (collectively, the “Demand Stockholders”), entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Issuer agreed to file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or on another form if Form S-3 is unavailable) concerning the resale of the registrable shares of Common Stock held by Demand Stockholders (the “Registrable Securities”), as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the later to occur of (i) ninety (90) days after the Effective Date and (ii) a date specified by a written notice to the Issuer by Demand Stockholders holding at least a majority of the Registerable Securities, and thereafter to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable. In addition, from time to time, the Demand Stockholders may request that additional Registrable Securities be registered for resale by the Issuer.  Subject to certain limitations, the Demand Stockholders also have the right to request that the Issuer facilitate the resale of Registrable Securities pursuant to firm commitment underwritten public offerings.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Warrant Agreement

On the Effective Date, by operation of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, the Issuer entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. (the “Warrant Agent”), pursuant to which the Issuer issued three series of warrants (the “Series A Warrants”, the “Series B Warrants” and the “Series C Warrants” and together, the “Warrants”).  Pursuant to the Plan, the Reporting Persons received 83,239 Series A Warrants, with an initial exercise price of $40.17 per share, 104,053 Series B Warrants, with an initial exercise price of $48.28 per share, and 133,782 Series C Warrants, with an initial exercise price of $60.45 per share.  Each Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of Common Stock at the applicable exercise price, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement.  Each Warrant has a three-year term.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrant Agreement, a copy of which is included in Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
