This statement is filed on behalf of each of the following persons (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"):

i) Magnetar Financial LLC ("Magnetar Financial");

ii) Magnetar Capital Partners LP ("Magnetar Capital Partners");

iii) Supernova Management LLC ("Supernova Management"); and

iv) David J. Snyderman ("Mr. Snyderman").

This statement relates to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Issuer issuable upon (a) the potential exercise of Common Stock Purchase Warrants held by the Magnetar Vehicles (as defined below) to purchase in the aggregate up to 998,547 shares of Common Stock, as follows: (i) warrants to purchase up to 479,847 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.430 per share (the "Tranche A Warrants"); (ii) warrants to purchase up to 399,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.125 per share (the "Tranche B Warrants"); and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 119,700 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.875 per share (the "Tranche C Warrants" and, collectively with the Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants, the "Warrants"); (b) the potential conversion of up to $4,770,575 (aggregate principal amount) of the Issuer's 7.00% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes Due 2031 (the "Notes") held by the Magnetar Vehicles into up to 763,292 shares of Common Stock (applying the conversion price assumptions stated in this Item 2(a)); (c) the potential conversion of up to 16,439 shares of the Issuer's 8.75% Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") held by the Magnetar Vehicles into up to 24,229 shares of Common Stock (applying the conversion rate assumptions stated in this Item 2(a)); and (d) the potential conversion of up to 218,512 shares of the Issuer's 9% Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") held by the Magnetar Vehicles into up to 136,566 shares of Common Stock (applying the conversion rate assumptions stated in this Item 2(a)).

The Notes will mature on December 31, 2031, at which time they may be settled, at the Issuer's election, in cash or shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Notes.

The Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, at the election of the holder of the Notes, at any time into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $6.25 per share (four shares of Common Stock for each $25.00 of principal amount of Notes being converted), and the Reporting Persons have used this conversion price for purposes of the figures reported herein. But, if at any time after September 21, 2023 holders of the Series D Preferred Stock have required the Issuer to redeem (payable in cash or stock) in the aggregate at least 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, then the conversion price will be adjusted to the lower of (i) a 45% discount to the conversion price and (ii) a 45% discount to the lowest price at which any holder of Series D Preferred Stock converted into shares of Common Stock.

------

The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7% *per annum*, and interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Interest on the Notes may be payable, at the Issuer's election, in cash, in shares of the Issuer's Series B Preferred Stock or in shares of Series D Preferred Stock, in each case as set forth in the Notes, which shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are in turn convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof at any time.

With respect to the Company's interest payment on the Notes due on December 31, 2021, the Company paid the interest in the form of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and the Magnetar Vehicles received 16,439 shares of Series D Preferred Stock as an interest payment at that time.
