Preliminary Note

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D initially filed on October 13, 2015 (together with all prior and current amendments thereto, this "Schedule 13D").

Certain of the Reporting Persons and/or affiliates thereof hold an aggregate principal amount of $21,876,108 of the Company's 11% senior secured convertible notes due 2018 (the "Convertible Notes"). Subject to conditions set forth in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes may be converted at any time, at the holder's option, into 285.71 Shares per $1,000 principal amount, subject to the right of the Company to settle such conversion in cash not Shares. In view of the Company's right to settle conversions in cash, ownership of Convertible Notes by a Reporting Person does not give rise to beneficial ownership of Shares on the part of such Reporting Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any such Reporting Person hereby disclaims such beneficial ownership.
