shares of common stock in subsequent public or private offerings. We may also issue additional shares of common stock or convertible securities. As of October&nbsp;19, 2018, we had 28,618,441 outstanding shares of common stock, excluding 2,662,244
shares held in treasury. This number includes the 4,069,324 shares that the&nbsp;selling stockholder&nbsp;is offering pursuant to this prospectus, which may be resold immediately in the public market. </P>

future issuances and sales of shares of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such
sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>There is an increased potential for short

encourage short sales of our common stock by market participants. Generally, short selling means selling a security, contract or commodity not owned by the seller. The seller is committed to eventually purchase the financial instrument previously
sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expected decline in the security&#146;s price. Such sales of our common stock could have a tendency to depress the price of the stock, which could increase the potential for short sales. </P>

on our common stock. Any future determination to pay cash dividends or other distributions on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent on our earnings, financial condition, operation results, capital
requirements, and contractual, regulatory and other restrictions, including restrictions contained in the senior secured credit facility or agreements governing any existing and future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries may incur, on
the payment of dividends by us or by our subsidiaries to us, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our common stock unless you sell our common stock for a price
greater than that which you paid for it. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, which could make us unable to

additional funds to pursue acquisition or expansion opportunities. In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of new equity securities, debt or a combination of both. Additional financing may not be available on
favorable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our capital requirements. If we issue new debt securities, the debt holders would have rights senior to common stockholders to make claims
on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. If we issue additional equity securities, existing stockholders may experience dilution. Our board is authorized to
issue preferred stock which could have rights and preferences senior to those of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot
predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future securities offerings reducing the market price of our common stock, diluting their interest or being subject to rights and
preferences senior to their own. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade

our common stock relies in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We do not control these analysts. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade or provide
negative outlook on our stock or our industry, or the stock of any of our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our
business or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. </P>

(the &#147;common stock&#148;), which was equal to 17.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock before the completion of the Private Placement (each a &#147;Warrant&#148; and collectively, the &#147;Warrants&#148;), and (iii)&nbsp;one share of

Refinancing Transactions completed on April&nbsp;25, 2018, the Company entered into the Letter Agreement with the selling stockholder to extend the date upon which a holder of Series E Preferred has the right to elect to have such holder&#146;s
shares of Series E Preferred redeemed by the Company from August&nbsp;2, 2019 to October&nbsp;25, 2023. The Letter Agreement also provided for the adjustment of certain other terms relating to the Series E Preferred, including an increase in the per
annum dividend rate payable in respect of the Series E Preferred (a)&nbsp;by 0.50% on the third anniversary of the Refinancing Transactions, (b)&nbsp;by an additional 0.50% on the fourth anniversary of the Refinancing Transactions and (c)&nbsp;by an
additional 1.0% on the fifth anniversary of the Refinancing Transactions. In furtherance of the Letter Agreement and as expressly contemplated by Section&nbsp;3 and Section&nbsp;5(a) therein, the Company and the selling stockholder entered into the
Preferred Exchange, which was completed on October&nbsp;18, 2018. Pursuant thereto, the selling stockholder (i)&nbsp;surrendered all of its shares of Series E Preferred and was issued 139,768 shares of Series

&#147;Registration Rights Agreement&#148;) with the selling stockholder relating to the registered resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and certain other common stock. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Company was required to file or cause to be filed a registration statement for such registered resale within nine months following the Closing Date and was required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become
effective as soon as practicable thereafter. In certain circumstances, the selling stockholder will have piggyback registration rights and rights to request an underwritten offering as described in the Registration Rights Agreement. The selling
stockholder will cease to have registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement on the later of the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date and the date on which the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
covered by the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) cease to be Registrable Securities. The Exchange Agreement amends the Registration Rights Agreement in part by replacing the references therein to the Series E

below, which we refer to collectively herein as the Shares. The selling stockholder may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the Shares owned by it, but makes no representation that any of the Shares will be
offered for sale. The selling stockholder is not a director, officer or employee of ours or an affiliate of such person. There is not, and has not been within the past three years, any material relationship between the Company and any entities or
natural persons who have control over the selling stockholder. On December&nbsp;4, 2015, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a board representation and standstill agreement (as subsequently amended on October&nbsp;26,
2017 and October&nbsp;18, 2018, the &#147;Board Representation and Standstill Agreement&#148;). The Board Representation and Standstill Agreement amendment on October&nbsp;18, 2018 amends the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement in part by
replacing the references therein to the Series E Preferred and Series F Preferred with references to the Series <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">E-1</FONT> Preferred and Series <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">F-1</FONT> Preferred, respectively.
Pursuant to the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, the Company agreed to permit the selling stockholder to appoint three nominees to the board of directors of the Company (the &#147;Board&#148;), at least one of which will meet the New
York Stock Exchange standards of independence. Until the Board Designation Termination Date (as defined in the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement), so long as the selling stockholder or its affiliates own the Series <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">E-1</FONT> Preferred or the Warrants, the selling stockholder will continue to be entitled to designate three directors. In the event of redemption in full of the Series <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">E-1</FONT>
Preferred by the Company, the selling stockholder will be entitled to designate only two directors so long as the selling stockholder owns the Warrants or any shares of common stock issuable thereunder. However, the selling stockholder will be
entitled to designate only one director nominee in the event the selling stockholder and its affiliates collectively cease to beneficially own at least 10% (but not greater than 24.99%) of the common stock issued pursuant to the Warrants (whether
owned directly or as a right to acquire upon exercise of the Warrants). The selling stockholder&#146;s rights to designate any directors will terminate when the selling stockholder and its affiliates collectively cease to beneficially own at least

and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the Shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of Shares available for resale hereby that will be held by the selling stockholder
upon termination of this offering. In addition, the selling stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the common stock it holds in transactions
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the selling stockholder provided the information set forth on the table below. We have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that the
selling stockholder will sell all of the Shares beneficially owned by it that are covered by this prospectus, but will not sell any other shares of our common stock that it may presently own. The percent of beneficial ownership for the selling
stockholder is based on 28,618,441 shares of our common stock, excluding 2,662,244 shares held in treasury, outstanding as of October&nbsp;19, 2018. This number includes the 4,069,324 shares that the selling stockholder is offering pursuant to this
prospectus. </P>

person&#146;s actions as our officer, director, employee or agent, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These agreements require us
to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could
be indemnified. We believe that the limitation of liability provision in Certificate of Incorporation and the indemnification agreements facilitates our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and

arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or

purchasers for whom they may act as agents. The selling stockholder and any underwriters, dealers or agents participating in a distribution of the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on
the sale of the shares by the selling stockholder and any commissions received by broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith
and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful.
Section&nbsp;145(b) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good
faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;of Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such
person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any indemnification under subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;of Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;of Section&nbsp;145. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1)&nbsp;by a majority vote of the directors who are not
parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (2)&nbsp;by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3)&nbsp;if there are no such directors, or if
such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4)&nbsp;by the stockholders. Expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it
shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and
agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section&nbsp;145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person&#146;s official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office. </P>

on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person&#146;s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such
person against such liability under Section&nbsp;145. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Certificate of Incorporation also contains indemnification rights for the
directors and officers. Specifically, the Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnity of the officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the DGCL permits the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is a director or

improper personal benefit. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

(iii)&nbsp;the Registration Statement, and (iv)&nbsp;the prospectus. We have also reviewed such questions of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. As to matters of fact relevant to the opinion expressed herein, and as to factual matters
arising in connection with our examination of corporate documents, records and other documents and writings, we relied upon certificates and other communications of corporate officers of the Company, without further investigation as to the facts set
