Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The information in Items 3 and 4 is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 6.

As contemplated by the Term Sheet, the Company granted Mr. Sandbrook 85,852 shares of Common Stock and 750,000 shares of restricted Common Stock pursuant to a stock award agreement and a restricted stock award agreement, respectively, each dated as of August 22, 2011. The equity grants were made under the Company’s Management Equity Incentive Plan. The grant of 85,852 shares of Common Stock vested fully on the date of grant; however, the stock award agreement provided that should Mr. Sandbrook voluntarily terminate his employment with the Company within one year of the Start Date, he must return the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the award, within thirty (30) days of such termination date. With respect to the 750,000 shares of restricted Common Stock granted on August 22, 2011, the restricted stock award agreement provided that 450,000 shares would vest in four equal annual installments from their date of grant and 300,000 shares would vest upon the achievement of certain time- and performance-based criteria. As of the date hereof, all 300,000 shares subject to time- and performance-based vesting criteria have vested. Pursuant to the Executive Severance Agreement, by and between the Company and William J. Sandbrook, dated as of the August 22, 2011 (the “Severance Agreement”), all of Mr. Sandbrook’s unvested shares of restricted Common Stock will fully vest upon a change of control (as defined therein), and any restrictions, forfeiture conditions or other conditions or criteria applicable to any such awards would lapse immediately upon the consummation of such change of control.

On August 22, 2014, Mr. Sandbrook entered into a restricted stock agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company granted 29,539 shares of restricted Common Stock to Mr. Sandbrook under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan, which shares vest as follows: (i) 60% of the total number of the awarded shares are time-based restricted stock that will become vested over three years in equal annual installments from the date of grant, and (ii) 40% of the awarded shares are performance-based restricted stock, half of which shall vest on the day that the average of the daily volume-weighted average share price of the Common Stock over any period of 20 (twenty) consecutive trading days attains $30.60 per share within the three-year period beginning on the date of grant, and the remaining half of which shall vest on the day that the average of the daily volume-weighted average share price of the Common Stock over any period of 20 (twenty) consecutive trading days attains $35.60 per share within the three-year period beginning on the date of grant.
