WHEREAS, the
Company is a debtor and debtor-in-possession in Case No. 16-10192 (MFW). (the “Case”) pending in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (captioned

(the “Bankruptcy Code”);


 


WHEREAS, the
Company will be reorganized pursuant to its First Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), subject

WHEREAS, the
net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used by the Company to finance in part the distributions to be made under the Plan,
to pay the fees and expenses associated therewith, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration
the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and each of the Purchasers agree as follows:

(b)            For the purposes
of this Agreement, the purchase price for each Share shall be $1.00 (the “Share Purchase Price”).


 




     

    	 	 	 



    

 


(c)            The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold the closing of the Offering (the “Closing”, and the date

by such Purchaser will be returned promptly, prior to an applicable Closing, without interest or deduction, if, or to the extent,
(i) such Purchaser’s subscription is rejected by the Company, (ii) the Offering is terminated for any reason; or (iii) upon
request by such Purchaser, if the Closing does not occur within fifteen (15) days after the date of the Confirmation Order; provided,
however, that the foregoing clause (iii) shall not relieve any Purchaser of any liability in the event the Closing does not occur

Amount.


 


(e)            Upon receipt
by the Company of the requisite payment for all Securities to be purchased by the Purchasers whose subscriptions are accepted,
the Company shall, at the Closing: (i) issue to each Purchaser stock certificates representing the shares of New Common Stock purchased

made by the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Closing
relating to the Securities subscribed for pursuant to this Agreement as though made on and as of such Closing Date (provided, however,
that representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date shall continue to be true and correct as of the Closing with
respect to such date), and (iii) cause to be delivered to the Purchasers an opinion of Dentons US LLP substantially in the form
of Exhibit A hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company and Purchasers agree that no funds may be released
to the Company from the escrow account until entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court approving the Plan, all of
the items required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 1(e) have been delivered in accordance with this

upon the execution and delivery to the Company of such Purchaser’s signed counterpart signature page to this Agreement unless

		2	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH PURCHASER



 


Each Purchaser, severally
and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants only as to itself to the Company, and agrees with the Company as follows:


 


(a)            Such Purchaser
understands and acknowledges and is fully aware that (i) the Company is a debtor and debtor-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code in Case No. 16-10192 (MFW) pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, (ii) the
Company is delinquent in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including
as a result of its failure to file any quarterly or annual periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K for any quarterly or annual
fiscal period ended after December 31, 2015 (including as a result of certain SEC no-action letter relief), (iii) the Securities
are currently quoted on the OTC Markets Group OTC Pink marketplace, and (iv) the Securities are not presently quoted or listed
for trading on any national securities exchange, and, notwithstanding the circumstances described in the preceding clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) and (iv) (and without limiting any of the other representations and warranties or agreements of Purchaser herein),
such Purchaser has made its own investment decision to subscribe for and purchase Securities issued in the Offering.


 


(b)            Such Purchaser
has carefully read this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B and the Registration Rights Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit C (collectively the “Offering Documents”), and is familiar with
and understands the terms of the Offering. Such Purchaser has also carefully read and considered the Company’s First Amended
Disclosure Statement for Debtor’s First Amended Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code dated March
28, 2016 (the “Disclosure Statement”) and the Plan Supplement dated April 15, 2016. Such Purchaser has
relied only on the information contained in the Offering Documents, the Disclosure Statement and the Company’s SEC filings
through the Closing Date (the “SEC Filings”), and has not relied on any representation made by any other
person, other than as set forth in Sections 2(c) and (d) below. Such Purchaser fully understands all of the risks related
to the purchase of the Securities. Such Purchaser has carefully considered and has discussed with such Purchaser’s professional
legal, tax, accounting and financial advisors, to the extent such Purchaser has deemed necessary, the suitability of an investment
in the Securities for such Purchaser’s particular tax and financial situation and has determined that the Securities being
subscribed for by such Purchaser are a suitable investment for such Purchaser. Such Purchaser recognizes that an investment in
the Securities involves substantial risks, including the possible loss of the entire amount of such investment. Such Purchaser
further recognizes that the Company has broad discretion concerning the use and application of the proceeds from the Offering.


 


(c)            Such Purchaser
acknowledges that (i) such Purchaser has had the opportunity to request copies of any documents, records, and books pertaining
to this investment and (ii) any such documents, records and books that such Purchaser requested have been made available for inspection
by such Purchaser, such Purchaser’s attorney, accountant or advisors.


 


(d)            Such Purchaser
and such Purchaser’s advisors have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives
of the Company or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Offering and all such questions have been answered to
the full satisfaction of such Purchaser. Such Purchaser understands that it is not relying on any representation of any kind made
by the Company regarding the Company, the Securities or any other matter other than as set forth herein.


 




    	 	3	 



     


    

 


(e)            Such Purchaser
is not subscribing for Securities as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published
in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar, meeting or conference
whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.


 


(f)             If such Purchaser
is a natural person, such Purchaser has reached the age of majority in the state in which such Purchaser resides. Such Purchaser
has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser’s current financial needs and contingencies, is able to bear the substantial
economic risks of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time, has no need for liquidity in such investment
and can afford a complete loss of such investment.


 


(g)            Such Purchaser
has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters to enable such Purchaser to utilize the information
made available to such Purchaser in connection with the Offering, to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities
and to make an informed investment decision with respect to an investment in the Securities on the terms described in the Offering
Documents.


 


(h)            Such Purchaser
will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities without registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws or an applicable exemption therefrom. Such Purchaser acknowledges that neither the offer nor sale of the Securities has been
registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state. Such Purchaser represents and warrants that such
Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for such Purchaser’s own account and not with a current view toward resale or distribution
within the meaning of the Securities Act. Such Purchaser has not offered or sold the Securities being acquired nor does such Purchaser
have any present intention of selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of such Securities either currently or after the passage
of a fixed or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any predetermined event or circumstances
in violation of the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is aware that (i) the Securities are not currently eligible for sale in reliance
upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and (ii) the Company has no obligation to register the Securities subscribed
for hereunder, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated the date hereof, among the Company and the Purchasers,
in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). By making these
representations herein, such Purchaser is not making any representation or agreement to hold the Securities for any minimum or
other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an available exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.


 


(i)            Such Purchaser
acknowledges that the certificates representing the Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially
in the following form:


 


The securities represented hereby
have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and neither the securities
nor any interest therein may be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration
under such act or an exemption from registration, which is available under such act.


 




    	 	4	 



     


    

 


Certificates evidencing
the Shares shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule
144, or (ii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b) or have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and in compliance with the obligations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement,
or (iii) such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission), in each such case (i) through (iii) to the extent
reasonably determined by the Company’s legal counsel. Subject to the foregoing, at such time and to the extent a legend is
no longer required for the Shares, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to no later than five (5) trading days following
the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or to the Company and the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing
such Shares (together with such accompanying documentation or representations as reasonably required by counsel to the Company),
deliver or cause to be delivered a certificate representing such Shares that is free from the foregoing legend.


 


(j)             If this Agreement
is executed and delivered on behalf of a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust, estate or other entity: (i)
such partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust, estate or other entity has the full legal right and power and
all authority and approval required (a) to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other instruments executed and delivered
by or on behalf of such partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust, estate or other entity in connection with the
purchase of its Securities, and (b) to purchase and hold such Securities, (ii) the signature of the party signing on behalf of
such partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust, estate or other entity is binding upon such partnership, corporation,
limited liability company, trust, estate or other entity, and (iii) such partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust
or other entity has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring such Securities, unless each beneficial owner of such
entity is qualified as an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act and has submitted information to the Company substantiating such individual qualification.


 


(k)            If such Purchaser
is a retirement plan or is investing on behalf of a retirement plan, such Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities
poses additional risks, including the inability to use losses generated by an investment in the Securities to offset taxable income.


 


(l)            The information
contained in the purchaser questionnaire in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Purchaser Questionnaire”)
delivered by such Purchaser in connection with this Agreement is complete and accurate in all respects, and such Purchaser is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act on the basis indicated therein.


 




    	 	5	 



     


    

 


(m)            Such Purchaser
acknowledges that the Company will have the authority to issue shares of New Common Stock, in excess of those being issued in connection
with the Offering, and that the Company may issue additional shares of New Common Stock from time to time. The issuance of additional
shares of New Common Stock may cause dilution of the existing shares of New Common Stock and a decrease in the market price of
such existing shares. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such Purchaser shall have no preemptive rights, right of first
refusal, or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of New Common Stock the Company may issue in the future as a result
of such Purchaser’s purchase of Securities pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(n)             Such Purchaser
agrees that from the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, such Purchaser will not enter into any Short
Sales of New Common Stock. For purposes of this Agreement, “Short Sales” are defined as orders by a Purchaser to its
broker or agent to sell presently a specified number of shares of New Common Stock held by the broker or agent in return for the
Person’s promise to replace the New Common Stock sold at a later date. The prohibition on Short Sales contained in this Agreement
extends to (i) “naked” shorts sales, which are short sales of New Common Stock which the seller does not presently
hold and are completed by covering through a market purchase of the shares due, and (ii) short sales “against the box,”
which are short sales of New Common Stock shares which the seller does presently hold, which are either covered by a market purchase
(as with the “naked short”) or by delivering the shares held against the shares due. Such Purchaser further acknowledges
and agrees that in the event of its breach of this Section 2(n), monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy
and that, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, the Company may apply to the Bankruptcy Court or to any
other court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent
any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages. All
shares of New Common Stock shall bear a restrictive legend that prohibits for five (5) years from the Closing Date the use of the
issued shares by the holder thereof for purposes of covering a short sale by the holder or any other person designated by the holder
or who maintains the New Common Stock on behalf of the holder.

power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation
and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the character of the property owned or leased or the nature of the business

a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, repurchased or redeemed, any shares of the
capital stock of the Company or obligating the Company to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, commitment

relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’
rights generally and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and to limitations
of public policy. The issuance and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby will not give rise to any preemptive rights or rights
of first refusal on behalf of any person, except for those that which have been complied with or waived.


 


(f)             No Conflict;

any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental authority to or by
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound, and will not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any of
the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any lease, loan agreement,
mortgage, security agreement, trust indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries
is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its properties or assets is subject, nor result in the creation or imposition
of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company except to the extent that any such violation, conflict or breach

of, or the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure

judgment or decree, which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company’s subsidiaries are set forth on Schedule B hereof (collectively referred to herein as the Company’s
“subsidiaries”). Each of the Company’s subsidiaries has been duly formed, is validly existing and is in
good standing under the law of the jurisdiction of its formation, has the requisite power and authority to own its property and
to conduct its business and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct

(j)             Indebtedness.
The Disclosure Statement reflects, as of the date thereof, all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness (as defined below)
of the Company or any subsidiary, or for which the Company or any subsidiary has commitments. Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has incurred any material Indebtedness or commitments for Indebtedness since the date of the Disclosure Statement.

Except as is set forth on Schedule C, no brokers’, finders’ or financial advisory fees or commissions will be
payable by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(l)             Material
Agreements. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Statement and the SEC Filings, as of the Closing Date, the Company is not
in default under any material agreement then in effect to which the Company is a party, the result of which would be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(m)           Transactions
with Affiliates. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Statement and the SEC Filings, there are no loans, leases, agreements,
contracts, royalty agreements, management contracts or arrangements or other continuing transactions between (a) the Company, its
subsidiaries or any of their respective customers or suppliers on the one hand, and (b) on the other hand, any person who would
be covered by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K or any company or other entity controlled by such person.


 


(n)            Taxes.
The Company and its subsidiaries have prepared and filed all federal, state, local, foreign and other tax returns for income, gross
receipts, sales, use and other taxes and custom duties (“Taxes”) required by law to be filed by them,
except for tax returns, the failure to file which, individually or in the aggregate, do not and would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. Such filed tax returns are complete and accurate, except for such omissions and inaccuracies, which individually or in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries have paid or
made provisions for the payment of all Taxes shown to be due on such tax returns and all additional assessments, and adequate provisions
have been and are reflected in the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiaries for all current Taxes to which the
Company or any subsidiary is subject and which are not currently due and payable, except for such Taxes which, if unpaid, individually
or in the aggregate, do not and would not have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the federal income tax returns of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries for the past five years has been audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Neither the Company nor any
of its subsidiaries has received written notice of any assessments, adjustments or contingent liability (whether federal, state,
local or foreign) in respect of any Taxes pending or threatened against the Company or any subsidiary for any period which, if
unpaid, would have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(o)            Insurance.
The Company and its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and
in such amounts as the Company believes are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its subsidiaries are
engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such
coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its and its subsidiaries’
businesses without an increase in cost significantly greater than general increases in cost experienced for similar companies in
similar industries with respect to similar coverage.

(p)            Environmental
Matters. To the Company’s knowledge, all real property owned, leased or otherwise operated by the Company and its subsidiaries

the definition of a substance which is toxic or hazardous under, or which may result in liability under, any Environmental Law
(as defined below), including, without limitation, any asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, radioactive substance, methane, volatile
hydrocarbons, industrial solvents, oil or petroleum or chemical liquids or solids, liquid or gaseous products, or any other material
or substance (“Hazardous Substance”) which has caused or would reasonably be expected to cause or constitute
a threat to human health or safety, or an environmental hazard in violation of Environmental Law or to result in any environmental
liabilities that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
has caused or suffered to occur any release, spill, migration, leakage, discharge, disposal, uncontrolled loss, seepage, or filtration
of Hazardous Substances that would reasonably be expected to result in environmental liabilities that would be reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries have generated, treated, stored and disposed of any Hazardous
Substances in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, except for such non-compliances that would not be reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries have obtained, or has applied for, and is in compliance with
and in good standing under all permits required under Environmental Laws (except for such failures that would not be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect) and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has knowledge of any proceedings
to substantially modify or to revoke any such permit. There are no investigations, proceedings or litigation pending or, to the

their respective directors, officers, employees and agents have complied in all material respects with the Foreign Corrupt Practices

Offering. Assuming the accuracy of each Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2
of this Agreement, neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates or other person acting on the Company’s behalf has, directly
or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would
cause the Offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act, when
integration would cause the Offering not to be exempt from the requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.


 


(v)            General Solicitation.
Neither the Company nor, to its knowledge, any person acting on behalf of the Company, has offered or sold any of the Securities

The Company understands and acknowledges that each of the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representations in purchasing the
Securities of the Company hereunder. All disclosure provided by the Company to the Purchasers in the Company’s SEC Filings
and the Disclosure Statement regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby furnished by or on the
behalf of the Company are, taken as a whole, true and correct in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the Company’s knowledge, no material event or circumstance has
occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or its business, properties, operations or financial conditions, which,
under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly
announced or disclosed.


 


		4	UNDERSTANDINGS



 


Each of the Purchasers
understands, acknowledges and agrees with the Company as follows:


 


(a)            The execution
of this Agreement by the Purchaser or solicitation of the investment contemplated hereby shall create no obligation on the part
of the Company to accept any subscription or complete the Offering. If the Company accepts a subscription for Securities made by
a Purchaser, it shall countersign this Agreement. If this Agreement is not countersigned by the later of (i) five (5) business
days following the Company’s receipt thereof, and (ii) one (1) business day after entry of the Confirmation Order by the
Bankruptcy Court approving the Plan , the Purchaser shall have the option to withdraw its investment by delivering written notice
thereof to the Company. This Agreement, however, shall remain valid unless and until the Company has received such written notice
of withdrawal. Each Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the subscription hereunder, once accepted by the Company, is
irrevocable by such Purchaser, and that, except as required by law, such Purchaser is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke
this Agreement or any agreements of such Purchaser hereunder, except that the obligations under this Agreement shall not survive
the death or disability of such Purchaser.


 


(b)            No federal or
state agency or authority has made any finding or determination as to the accuracy or adequacy of the Offering Documents or as
to the fairness of the terms of the Offering nor any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offense. In making an investment decision, Purchasers must rely on their own examination of the Company
and the terms of the Offering, including the merits and risks involved.


 




    	 	13	 



     


    

 


(c)            The Offering
is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions
of Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder, which is in part dependent upon the truth, completeness and accuracy of the statements
made by the Purchaser herein and in the Purchaser Questionnaire.


 


(d)            Notwithstanding
the registration obligations provided herein, there can be no assurance that the Purchaser will be able to sell or dispose of the
Securities. It is understood that in order not to jeopardize the Offering’s exempt status under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act and Regulation D, any transferee may, at a minimum, be required to fulfill the investor suitability requirements thereunder.


 


(e)            The Purchaser
acknowledges that the Offering is confidential and non-public and agrees that all information about the Offering shall be kept
in confidence by the Purchaser until the public announcement of the Offering by the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges that the
foregoing restrictions on the Purchaser’s use and disclosure of any such confidential, non-public information contained in
the above-described documents restricts the Purchaser from trading in the Company’s securities to the extent such trading
is on the basis of material, non-public information of which the Purchaser is aware. Except for the terms of the transaction documents
and the fact that the Company is considering consummating the transactions contemplated therein (which information the Company
has agreed to disclose in accordance with Section 4(c) of this Agreement), the Company confirms that neither the
Company nor, to its knowledge, any other person acting on its behalf, has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel
with any information that constitutes material, non-public information as of the Closing Date.

will not sell, offer to sell, solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined
