Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The Shares purchased by Lone Star Value Investors and held in a certain account managed by Lone Star Value Management (the “Lone Star Value Account”) were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business).  The aggregate purchase price of the 555,588 Shares directly owned by Lone Star Value Investors is approximately $150,000, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 40,130 Shares held in the Lone Star Value Account is approximately $204,453, including brokerage commissions.
 
As further described in Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, on May 26, 2015, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, the Issuer issued Lone Star Value Investors the Convertible Note and the Warrant (each as defined in Item 4 of Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D) for $5,000,000. Pursuant to the Convertible Note, at any time after its issuance, Lone Star Value Investors may convert the unpaid principal amount under the Convertible Note into Shares at $1.80 per Share. Based upon the original principal amount of $5,000,000, the Convertible Note may be converted into a total of 2,777,778 Shares, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Warrant gives Lone Star Value Investors the right to purchase up to 2,777,777 Shares at an exercise price equal to $1.80 per Share
