Under the Term Loan, the Issuer borrowed approximately $175.9 million from Lightship, which bears an interest rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly and due on December 30, 2020. In connection with the Issuer’s entry into the Term Loan, the Issuer repurchased all of the Common Stock held by Lightship for approximately $50.9 million through a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Issuer repurchased the Common Stock with a portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan. The Term Loan also provides for up to $20.0 million of additional borrowings in one or more delayed draws, which bear interest at 12% per annum, payable quarterly, that are also due on December 30, 2020.   The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and is incorporated by reference herein.

	Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:   On August 9, 2017, the Issuer and Lightship entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.   Other than the Joint Filing Agreement previously filed as Exhibit 1 to the Original Schedule 13D and the Stock Purchase Agreement disclosed in this Amendment No. 1, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons or between the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
