(a) As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 644,857 shares of Common Stock, constituting 15.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, based on issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017.

As in the past, McAvoy and Kaufman may assign any securities issued under any such stock options or other awards, or the economic benefit thereof, to Hillair Investments, which will in turn ensure that such securities or economic benefits are provided to Hillair Investments and Hillair Management.
