As the principal of Nokomis Capital, Mr. Hendrickson may direct the vote and disposition of the 9,667,413 shares of Common Stock held by the Nokomis Accounts or which the Nokomis Accounts have a right to acquire.

Item 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The Reporting Persons hold an aggregate par value of $30,579,810 of the Convertible Notes, which contain a blocker provision that prohibits the conversion of the Convertible Notes by the Reporting Persons so as to not exceed 9.99% beneficial ownership of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at any time.

The description of the Convertible Note issued May 7, 2019 is qualified by reference to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Note and the purchase agreement, each of which are filed as exhibits hereto.
