As of June 13, 2016, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 39,402,835 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 45.42% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

As of May 16, 2016, the Issuer had an aggregate of 47,358,618 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Based on the foregoing, as of June 13, 2016, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 39,402,835 shares of Common Stock, which includes: (i) 18,903,348 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (the “Conversion Shares”); (ii) 321,663 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of PIK Interest that will accrue on and become payable under the Convertible Notes within sixty days of the date hereof (the “PIK Interest Shares”); (iii) 18,100,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”); and (iv) 2,077,824 Warrant Shortfall Shares (the Warrant Shortfall Shares, Warrants Shares, Convertible Notes, Conversion Shares, Warrants, PIK Interest Shares, any 2013 Notes acquired by AC Midwest, and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any 2013 Notes so acquired, collectively, the “Subject Securities”), representing approximately 45.42% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock.
