Mr. Klump is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Argonne Capital Group, LLC (collectively with its affiliates, Argonne). Mr. Klump and Argonne are the beneficial owners of certain of the Companys securities.

The option will vest on September 1, 2018 with respect to 5,288 shares, and in three quarterly installments beginning on December 1, 2018 with respect to the remaining shares.
No arrangement or understanding exists between Mr. Klump and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Klump was appointed as a director.
