The foregoing discussion of the Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement attached as Exhibit 1 to this Statement and incorporated into this Item 4 by reference to Exhibit 10.1 of the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 15, 2015.
