* As more fully described in Item 4, certain of these reported securities are subject to a 4.9% blocker and the percentage set forth in row (11) gives effect to such blocker.  However, as more fully described in Item 4, the securities reported in rows (5), (7) and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon fully exercise of such reported securities and do not give effect to such blocker.  Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such blocker, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (5), (7) and (9).

On the date of event which requires the filing of this Schedule 13G, Mr. Parker may have been deemed to be the beneficial owner of more than 7.19% of the Common Stock.  The Company's 10-K filed on December 5, 2016, indicated that the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 2, 2016, was 137,882,075.  The percentage set forth on Row 11 of the cover page is based on the Company's outstanding Common Stock as assumes no exercise of the reported warrants due to the blocker (as defined below).
Pursuant to the terms of the reported warrants (the Reported Warrants), the Reporting Person cannot exercise any of the Reported Warrants until such time as the Reporting Person would not beneficially own, after such exercise, more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the Blocker) because such Reported Warrants contain ownership limitations pursuant to which the holder is prohibited from exercising such warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) that the exercise thereof would result in the holder or any of its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.9% of the Common Stock after giving effect to such exercise; provided, however, that the holder may waive such ownership limitation, in which case such waiver will become effective sixty-one (61) days after the holder's delivery of such waiver notice.  As of the date of this Schedule 13G, Mr. Parker has not waived such limitation.
(1)
2,164,837 shares of Common Stock owned individually by Michael Parker, 2,746,830 shares of Common Stock owned individually by Mr. Parker's spouse, Ana B Parker, and 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock owned through Tungsten III LLC, of which Michael Parker is the sole manager.
(2)
4,500,000 Series D Warrants to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock, which expire on June 30, 2020, owned through Tungsten III LLC, of which Michael Parker is the sole manager and 1,583,334 Series E Warrants to purchase 1,583,334 shares of Common Stock, which expire on May 26, 2021, owned through Tungsten III LLC, of which Michael Parker is the sole manager.
