Loan Lenders commitment and the principal amount borrowed by the
Company under the Term Loan Agreement from $65,800,000 to

required to use a portion of the net cash proceeds of the Eighth
Amendment Additional Term Commitment of $3.52 million to pay the
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Eighth
Term Loan Agreement Amendment. The remaining net cash proceeds,
subject to satisfaction of certain release conditions, will be
available for general operating, working capital and other
general corporate purposes. The Company intends to use the
additional liquidity provided by the Eighth Amendment Additional
Term Commitment to fund its business operations until the filing
of a prepackaged plan of reorganization under chapter 11 of the

Agreement Amendment, the Company was required to enter into a
letter agreement with the agent under the Companys asset-based
lending facility (the ABL Facility) providing, among other
things, that the agent under the ABL Facility would not exercise
any remedies with respect to the Eighth Amendment Additional Term
Commitment deposited in the Companys Master Account (as defined
in the ABL Facility), subject to the terms of such letter
agreement.

The Eighth Term Loan Agreement Amendment requires the Company,
among other things, to (i)comply with the terms and conditions of
the previously disclosed Restructuring Support Agreement; and
(ii)within 5 days of the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, cause
mortgage title policies to be issued for all real property
collateral under the Companys Term Loan Agreement and to pay all
premiums for such title policies.

Loan Agreement Amendment, and such description is qualified in

Agreement. In addition, the Eighth Amendment Letter Agreement

grace periods and defer making the approximately $2 million in
cash interest payments due April17, 2017 on its 9.875% Senior
Notes due 2018 (the 2018 Notes), and the approximately $9 million
in cash interest payments due April17, 2017 on its 12.5%/10.0%
Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes). Under
the indenture governing the 2018 Notes (the 2018 Notes Indenture)
and the indenture governing the 2021 Notes (the 2021 Notes
Indenture), the Company has a 30-day grace period following the
April17, 2017 interest payment date to make the interest payments
before an event of default would occur.

The occurrence of an event of default under the 2018 Notes
Indenture would also constitute an event of default under the
Companys ABL Facility, Term Loan Agreement, and 2021 Notes
Indenture, and the occurrence of an event of default under the
2021 Notes Indenture would also constitute an event of default
under the Companys ABL Facility, Term Loan Agreement, and 2018
Notes Indenture. As previously disclosed, the Company is in
default under its ABL Facility and such default constitutes an
event of cross-default under the Term Loan Agreement, 2018 Notes
Indenture, and 2021 Notes Indenture. The lenders under the ABL
Facility and Term Loan Agreement and the trustees and noteholders
under the 2018 Notes Indenture and 2021 Notes Indenture have not
yet exercised their rights and remedies in respect of such
defaults; however, they may choose to do so at any time. The
Company does not have sufficient liquidity to repay the
obligations under the ABL Facility, Term Loan Agreement, 2018
Notes Indenture, or 2021 Notes Indenture. As such, the holders of
the Companys indebtedness may initiate foreclosure actions at any
time. As previously disclosed, the Company intends to file a
prepackaged plan of reorganization under chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code in order to restructure its outstanding
indebtedness, as described in the Restructuring Support
Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2017, by and among the Company
and its subsidiaries and the holders of over 80% of the 2021
Notes, and filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Companys Current Report
on Form 8-K dated April 12, 2017.
