the Issuer (the &#147;Purchase Agreement&#148;) pursuant to which HC2 purchased from the Issuer (i)&nbsp;7,363,334 Shares, (ii)&nbsp;a warrant to purchase 4,117,647 Shares at an exercise price of $2.26 per share (the &#147;Warrant&#148;) and
(iii)&nbsp;87,196 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the &#147;Preferred Shares&#148;), all at a purchase price of (a)&nbsp;$1.75 per Share plus, in each case, the related Warrant and (b)&nbsp;$17.50 per
Preferred Share. The transaction closed on September&nbsp;8, 2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prior to receipt of stockholder approval, HC2 may not exercise any portion of the
Warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the number of Shares beneficially owned by HC2 and its affiliates would exceed 19.999% of the Shares outstanding at the time of such exercise. As of the date hereof, pursuant to such
restriction, HC2&#146;s right to exercise the Warrant is limited such that it may receive only 1,846,532 Shares upon exercise. Additionally, the Preferred Shares are not convertible into Shares prior to obtaining stockholder approval. Upon
stockholder approval, such Preferred Shares are automatically convertible, subject to certain customary adjustments, into an aggregate of 871,960 Shares. The Preferred Shares are not entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer
for the election of directors of the Issuer&#146;s Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) or for any other matter, subject to certain limited exceptions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On September&nbsp;8, 2014, in connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, HC2 entered into an agreement with the Issuer (the &#147;Investors&#146;
Rights Agreement&#148;). Under the Investors&#146; Rights Agreement, following the period commencing on September&nbsp;8, 2014 and ending ten months from such date (the &#147;Lockup Period&#148;), the Issuer agreed to increase the size of the Board
and provided HC2 the right to designate two directors to the Board, subject to reduction in certain circumstances. During the Lockup Period, HC2 will have the right to appoint two observers to the Board. Additionally, pursuant to the Investors&#146;
Rights Agreement, HC2 has agreed that, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, it will not, during the Lockup Period, make any purchases of securities or otherwise exercise any rights to acquire securities to the extent that, after giving
effect to such purchase and/or exercise, HC2 would beneficially own in excess of 29.99% of the Shares outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Investors&#146; Rights Agreement
also provides for, among other things, certain demand and so-called &#147;piggy back&#148; registration rights with respect to Shares owned by HC2. Under the Investors&#146; Rights Agreement, HC2 may cause the Issuer to register certain Registrable
Securities (as defined in the Investors&#146; Rights Agreement) owned by HC2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), and may demand that the Issuer assist in an offering under the Securities Act of all or a
portion of HC2&#146;s Registrable Securities, so long as the anticipated aggregate offering price of the securities to be offered is at least $10 million (or such lesser amount representing all remaining Registrable Securities). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Investors&#146; Rights Agreement also provides that if the Issuer decides to register Shares for its own account or the account of a stockholder other

various factors, including whether various strategic transactions have occurred or may occur, the Issuer&#146;s business and financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets
in general and those for the Issuer&#146;s securities in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities, which, if effected, could result in, among other things, any of the matters identified in Items 4(a)&#150;(j) of
Schedule 13D. Accordingly, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its intentions and develop plans or proposals at any time, as it deems appropriate. In particular, each Reporting Person may at any time and from time to time, subject to
the Investors&#146; Rights Agreement and other legal obligations, (i)&nbsp;in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, acquire additional Shares or other securities of the Issuer, including acquisitions from affiliates of

District of New York entered a final judgment (the &#147;Final Judgment&#148;) approving a settlement between the SEC and Harbinger Capital Partners LLC (&#147;HCP LLC&#148;), Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations GP, LLC (&#147;HCPSS&#148;)
LLC, Harbinger Capital Partners Offshore Manager, L.L.C., and Philip Falcone (collectively, the &#147;HCP Parties&#148;), in connection with the two civil actions previously filed against the HCP Parties by the SEC. One civil action alleged that
certain HCP Parties violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws by engaging in market manipulation in connection with the trading of the debt securities of a particular issuer from 2006 to 2008. The other civil action alleged
that HCP LLC and Mr.&nbsp;Falcone violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with a loan made by HCPSS to Philip Falcone in October 2009 and in connection with the circumstances and disclosure regarding alleged
preferential treatment of, and agreements with, certain fund investors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Final Judgment bars and enjoins Mr.&nbsp;Falcone for a period
of five years (after which he may seek to have the bar and injunction lifted) from acting as or being an associated person of any &#147;broker,&#148; &#147;dealer,&#148; &#147;investment adviser,&#148; &#147;municipal securities dealer,&#148;
&#147;municipal adviser,&#148; &#147;transfer agent,&#148; or &#147;nationally recognized statistical rating organization,&#148; as those terms are defined in Section&nbsp;3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section&nbsp;202 of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (such specified entities, collectively, the &#147;Specified Entities&#148;). Under the Final Judgment, Mr.&nbsp;Falcone may continue to own and control HGI and its subsidiaries and continue to serve as HGI&#146;s
Chief Executive Officer, director and Chairman of HGI&#146;s board except that during the period of the bar Mr.&nbsp;Falcone may not, other than as a result of his ownership and control of the HGI and its subsidiaries, engage in any actions that
would result in him being an associated person of certain subsidiaries of HGI that are Specified Entities. During the period of the bar, Mr.&nbsp;Falcone may also remain associated with HCP LLC and other HCP LLC related entities, provided that,
during such time, Mr.&nbsp;Falcone&#146;s association must be limited as set forth in the Final Judgment. The settlement requires the HCP Parties to pay disgorgement of profits, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties totaling approximately $18
million. </P>
