Restructuring Fees

In March 2016, we retained financial and legal advisors to assist the Company in analyzing and considering financial, transactional and strategic alternatives. We have been engaged in negotiations with financial advisors for certain holders of the 2017 Convertible Notes and 2022 Notes regarding the restructuring of the notes and in June 2016, we secured an amendment to our existing credit facility with our bank group. On October 20, 2016, we entered into the RSA with the Noteholders to support a restructuring on the terms of the Plan. We have also been engaged in discussions and have exchanged proposals with the lenders under our bank credit facility with respect to the treatment of the bank credit facility in a chapter 11 proceeding and a related amendment to the bank credit facility. The legal and financial advisory costs associated with these restructuring efforts are included in the statement of operations as restructuring fees and totaled $5.8 million and $16.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
