Amount beneficially owned: 915,766 shares of Common Stock (as more fully described below).

Bicknell Family Holding Company, LLC; Bicknell Family Management Company, LLC; Bicknell Family Management Company Trust; Mariner Wealth Advisors, LLC; Martin C. Bicknell; XXL Investments and Mariner Capital Ventures, LLC (collectively, the "Reporting Persons" and each a "Reporting Person") are acting as a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1). As such, each Reporting Person is deemed, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act and this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13G, to have acquired beneficial ownership of all equity securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the other members of the group.

Bicknell Family Holding Company, LLC directly owns 464,125 shares of Common Stock; 242,152 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants ("Warrants") that are exercisable at $2.23 per share within 60 days hereof; 202,500 Warrants that are exercisable at $6.40 per share within 60 days hereof; and 52,500 Warrants that are exercisable at $6.43 per share within 60 days hereof. Martin C. Bicknell directly owns 51,569 shares of Common Stock; 26,906 Warrants that are exercisable at $2.23 per share within 60 days hereof; and 22,500 Warrants that are exercisable at $6.40 per share within 60 days hereof.

The Warrants contain certain limitations on exercise which provide that the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the holder of the Warrants upon any exercise of the Warrants is limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise, the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of

Due to the limitation on the exercise of the Warrants, and pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1), each Reporting Person is deemed a beneficial owner with shared voting and dispositive power over 915,766 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
