Explanation of Responses:
(1)  Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share.
(2)  Represents the total number of exit financing restricted stock units granted on August 28, 2017 under the Company's management incentive plan. The number of restricted stock units that are ultimately earned is determined by the date on which a debt repayment condition is met as described in the Company's management incentive plan. The number of restricted stock units that are ultimately earned vest as follows: 40% on the first day following the date that is eighteen (18) months after the date of grant, 20% each on the second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and 20% one day prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. The restricted stock units, once vested, will generally entitle the Reporting Person to receive the applicable number of shares of Company common stock.
(3)  Represents the maximum number of vested restricted stock units for which shares could be issued in accordance with the provisions of the grant made on August 28, 2017.
