The Senior Secured PIK Toggle Notes are convertible at the option of an eligible holder into shares of Holdings Common Stock at the conversion price of 200 shares of Holdings Common

Mr. Lampert and Partners received the Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes and the Senior Secured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes in exchange for tendering all of their 2019 Notes and 2018 Notes, respectively, and no cash consideration was paid by either Mr. Lampert or Partners in connection with the receipt of such Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes and Senior Secured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes.

The foregoing description of the Senior Secured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes and the Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to that certain Indenture pursuant to which Holdings issued the Senior Secured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes (attaching the form of note for the Senior Secured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes), filed as Exhibit 99.56 hereto and incorporated by reference herein, and that certain Indenture pursuant to which Holdings issued the Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes (attaching the form of note for the Senior Unsecured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes), filed as Exhibit 99.57 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the consummation of the Exchange Offers, Holdings and the other parties thereto entered into that certain Fourth Amendment (the Fourth Second Lien Amendment) to the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement, among the Second Lien Borrowers, the lenders party thereto, and JPP, as administrative agent and collateral administrator. The Fourth Second Lien Amendment provides that interest on the $300.00 million principal amount term loan (the Second Lien Term Loan) outstanding under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement may, at the option of the Second Lien Borrowers, be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Second Lien Term Loan, and that Holdings obligations with respect to such Second Lien Term Loan (i) may be converted into shares of Holdings Common Stock at the option of JPP at a conversion rate of 200 shares of Holdings Common Stock per $1,000 in principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the Second Lien Term Loan (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Fourth Second Lien Amendment) (the Term Loan Conversion Price) and (ii) are mandatorily convertible into Holdings Common Stock at the option of Holdings at the Term Loan Conversion Price within 30 days following the end of any period of 30 consecutive trading days, ending on or after July 2, 2018, during which the volume weighted average trading price of Holdings Common Stock on the NASDAQ exceeds $10.00 for a period of 20 trading days.

In connection with the foregoing, (i) JPP II may acquire up to 18,813,200 shares of Holdings Common Stock within 60 days upon the conversion of the Second Lien Term Loan into shares of Holdings Common Stock; and (ii) JPP may acquire up to 41,186,800 shares of Holdings Common Stock within 60 days upon the conversion of the Second Lien Term Loan into shares of Holdings Common Stock. The maturity date for the Second Lien Term Loan is July 20, 2020, and the Second Lien Term Loan will not amortize.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Second Lien Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Second Lien Amendment, filed as Exhibit 99.58 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The description of the Mezzanine Loan in the Schedule 13D, as amended, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, filed as Exhibit 99.59 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the completion of the Exchange Offers, certain of the Reporting Persons also consented to the adoption of amendments to the indenture governing the 2018 Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default in such indenture, and make the liens securing senior second lien obligations, including the newly issued Senior Secured Convertible PIK Toggle Notes and obligations under the second lien credit agreement described below, effectively senior to the liens securing junior second lien obligations, including the 2018 Notes.

On March 21, 2018, Holdings, through the Borrowers, entered into a fifth amendment (the Fifth Amendment) and a sixth amendment (the Sixth Amendment) to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Borrowers borrowed a $125 million first-in, last-out term loan (the FILO Loan) from various initial lenders, which include, among others, JPP and JPP II (collectively, the FILO Initial Lenders), and made certain other changes to the Credit Agreement.

The FILO Loan matures on July 20, 2020. The FILO Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 8.50% (subject to a floor of 1.50%) (or a base rate plus a margin of 7.50%). The Borrowers are required to pay an early repayment premium of the greater of a make-whole through eight months and 3.00% in the event the FILO Loan is repaid within the first year, and 2.00% in the event the FILO Loan is repaid within the second year. The FILO Loan is guaranteed by the same guarantors and secured by the same assets as the existing loans under the Credit Agreement, but ranks junior in right of recovery from the collateral relative to such existing loans. Holdings paid a fee of 2.25% of the FILO Loan to the FILO Initial Lenders.

The foregoing description of the FILO Loan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to both the Fifth Amendment, filed as Exhibit 99.60 hereto and incorporated by reference herein, and the Sixth Amendment, filed as Exhibit 99.61 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The information set forth in Item 3 of this Amendment is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
