Item 4. Ownership.

Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of pages 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.

As of March 28, 2017, Steelhead Pathfinder beneficially owns certain convertible notes issued by the issuer which are convertible into an aggregate of 2,149,708 shares of the issuer’s common stock (based on the conversion rates set forth in such notes as of March 28, 2017).

The securities reported on this Schedule as beneficially owned by Steelhead (the “Securities”) are held by and for the benefit of the Steelhead Pathfinder. Steelhead, as the investment manager of Steelhead Pathfinder, and the sole member of Steelhead Pathfinder’s general partner, and each of J. Michael Johnston and Brian K. Klein, as the member-managers of Steelhead, may be deemed to beneficially own the Securities held by Steelhead Pathfinder for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities.

Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of Steelhead, Mr. Johnston or Mr. Klein is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of Steelhead, Mr. Johnston and Mr. Klein disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein.

Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, it is also possible that the individual general partners, executive officers, and members of the foregoing entities might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of such Securities. Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in Item 11 of pages 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule was derived from the issuer’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2016, in which the issuer stated that the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2016 was 39,403,822 shares. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), the Securities have been added to the Issuer’s total number of shares outstanding, for a total of 41,553,530 shares outstanding for purposes of calculating each of the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage.

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

Steelhead is the investment manager of Steelhead Pathfinder that beneficially owns the Securities and, in that capacity, has been granted the authority to dispose of and vote the Securities held by Steelhead Pathfinder. Steelhead Pathfinder has the right to receive (or the power to direct the receipt of) dividends received in connection with ownership of the Securities and the proceeds from the sale of the Securities.

Item 7. Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company or Control Person.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Identification and Classification of Members of the Group.

Not applicable.

Item 9. Notice of Dissolution of Group.
