Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) On July 27, 2016, the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On September 8, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors' Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated as of September 2, 2016 (the "Plan") and on September 9, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms and the Debtors emerged from the chapter 11 cases. On the Effective Date, all outstanding shares of the Issuer's common stock (the "Old Common Stock") were cancelled and extinguished.
(2) New shares of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "New Shares") were issued to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Plan in exchange for Old Common Stock held by the Reporting Person on the Effective Date under the Plan. The Reporting Person received 1 New Share for every 34 shares of Old Common Stock held by the Reporting Person on the Effective Date of the Plan. The receipt of New Shares was involuntary, without consideration and in accordance with the Plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
(3) In accordance with the Plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Reporting Person received an award of restricted stock, 50% of which will vest on the grant date being the first full day of trading of the New Shares following the Effective Date. The remaining 50% will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided the Reporting Person remains employed by the Issuer as of such vesting date.
(4) In accordance with the Plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Reporting Person received an award of stock options ("Options") granted on the first full day of trading of the New Shares following the Effective Date. The exercise price per share of the Options will be equal to the greater of (1) the per share value based on an Issuer equity value of $650.0 million or (2) the weighted average trading price of the New Shares for the seven (7) trading days commencing on the first trading day immediately following the Effective Date (assuming the New Shares are then publicly traded). The Options will vest over 3 years in equal annual installments provided the Reporting Person remains employed by the Issuer as of the respective annual vesting dates.
