[1] The 2017 PIK Notes were issued, along with the Unit Warrants, as a unit in the Rights Offering and related financing transactions. The equity component above represents the fair value ascribed to the Unit Warrants (see Note 14, "Equity"). The fair value is accounted for as a discount on the 2017 PIK Notes and is being amortized over the life of the 2017 PIK Notes using the effective interest method.

[2] The equity component of the 2017 Term Loan and 2017 Revolving Credit Facility represents the fair value ascribed to the Initial Warrants (see Note 14, "Equity") based on the relative borrowing capacity of these facilities. The fair value is accounted for as a discount on the 2017 Term Loan, which is being amortized over the life of the 2017 Term Loan using the effective interest method; and as debt issuance costs for the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective instruments.
