The information in Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

The percent of class provided for each Reporting Person is based on the Issuer having 76,858,421 total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of July 31, 2013, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, filed with the SEC on August 5, 2013, plus 6,933,333 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise on or before September 25, 2014 of 2,333,333 Sponsor Warrants and 4,600,000 Founders’ Warrants at a price of $13.00 per share, subject to adjustment and limitations described therein.

 

(a)-(b)  (i)

Kenneth A. Hersh does not directly own any Common Stock. Kenneth A. Hersh is an Authorized Member of GFW VII, L.L.C., the general partner of G.F.W. Energy VII, L.P., which is the general partner of NGP VII, and thus may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to all shares of Common Stock that NGP VII is the sole record owner of (1,152,258 shares (1.4%)), as well as all shares of Common Stock that NGP VII may be deemed to beneficially own (56,858 shares (0.1%)) directly owned by NGP-VII Co-Invest and 6,933,333 shares (8.3%) deemed beneficially owned by Resolute Holdings). Therefore, Kenneth A. Hersh may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to 8,142,449 shares (9.7%) of Common Stock.

 

(ii)

NGP VII is the sole record owner of, and has the sole power to vote and dispose of 1,152,258 shares (1.4%) of Common Stock.

NGP VII owns 100% of NGP Income Management, L.L.C. which serves as the general partner of NGP-VII Income Co-Investment. NGP VII may thus be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock owned directly by NGP-VII Co-Invest (56,858 shares (0.1%)).

NGP VII and NGP-VII Co-Invest have an approximately 66% membership interest in Resolute Holdings subject to certain adjustments in the future that could decrease such interest. Thus, NGP VII may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by Resolute Holdings (6,933,333 shares (8.3%)).

Therefore, NGP VII may be deemed to possess sole and shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to 8,142,449 shares (9.7%) of Common Stock.
