Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On July 1, 2019, James D. Dondero and Nancy Marie Dondero, as Family Trustee for and on behalf of The Dugaboy Investment Trust (“Dugaboy”), entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with CrossFirst Bank (“CrossFirst”), pursuant to which CrossFirst extended a loan in the principal amount of approximately $13.0 million to Mr. Dondero (the “Loan”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Loan has a maturity date of July 1, 2020, at which time the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest will become due and payable. The proceeds of the Loan are to be used for working capital or other business purposes.

In connection with the Loan, Dugaboy pledged 570,567 shares of the Issuer, all of which Ms. Dondero may be deemed to beneficially own as a result of her position as Family Trustee, as collateral for the Loan pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, dated July 1, 2019, between Dugaboy and CrossFirst.

On August 14, 2019, Ms. Dondero, as Family Trustee for and on behalf of Dugaboy, entered into a revolving line of credit promissory note (the “Note”) with CrossFirst, pursuant to which CrossFirst agreed to issue a line of credit, up to an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Note. The Note has a maturity date of August 13, 2020, at which time the then outstanding balance of the Note and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable. The proceeds of the Note are to be used for working capital or other business purposes.

In connection with the Note, Dugaboy pledged an additional 255,292 shares of the Issuer, all of which Ms. Dondero may be deemed to beneficially own as a result of her position as Family Trustee, as collateral for the Note pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, dated August 14, 2019, between Dugaboy and CrossFirst.

On December 17, 2019, Ms. Dondero, as Family Trustee for and on behalf of Dugaboy, entered into a securities based line of credit agreement (“SBLOC”) with Raymond James Bank, N.A. (“Raymond James”), pursuant to which Raymond James extended a line of credit, the amount of which is to be determined and adjusted from time to time in accordance with the SBLOC, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the SBLOC. Raymond James may terminate the SBLOC at any time and at its sole option and demand payment of all amounts outstanding

under the line of credit if not terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. The proceeds of the SBLOC are to be used for working capital or other business purposes.

In accordance with the terms of the SBLOC, Dugaboy pledged an additional 1,334,605 shares of the Issuer, all of which Ms. Dondero may be deemed to beneficially own as a result of her position as Family Trustee.

From time to time, HCMLP related accounts may hold a portion of their assets, which may include some of the Issuer’s securities, in one or more prime brokerage accounts with Jefferies & Company, Inc., which accounts provide the HCMLP accounts with access to margin or other financing. The customer and related agreements governing such accounts generally provide the broker counterparty with security, collateral or similar rights of possession, and sale or offset rights with respect to such account assets in the event of a customer default. Such agreements generally also provide the broker counterparty with rights to lend assets held in such account, in some cases without advance or other notification to the customer. To the extent the Issuer’s securities owned by the HCMLP accounts are held from time to time in such prime brokerage accounts, they may be subject to such counterparty rights.
