The Company is pursuing a potential transaction involving the restructuring of obligations owed to some of its affiliates and warrant holders. No definitive documentation has been executed and there can be no guarantee that such a transaction will be successfully negotiated and consummated.

On January 15, 2019, the Board of the Company formed a special committee of the Board (the "Special Committee") and appointed Messrs. David Still and Anthony Zolezzi as its only members. The Special Committee was formed for the purpose of reviewing and negotiating the terms and fairness of a potential transaction involving the restructuring of certain obligations owed to Little Harbor, LLC, Great Harbor Capital, LLC and Golisano Holdings LLC, as well as certain of the Company's outstanding warrants. Those entities are related to certain Company directors, executive officers or stockholders owning 5% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock. Specifically, Mr. David L. Van Andel, the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, is the owner and principal of Great Harbor Capital LLC and Little Harbor Capital LLC, lenders to the Company. Mr. Mark Bugge, a former director of our company, was Chief Financial Officer of VA Enterprises, LLC ("VAE") the family office representing the Van Andel family and the Secretary of Great Harbor Capital LLC and Little Harbor, LLC. Additionally, Mr. B. Thomas Golisano, a member of the Company's Board of Directors is a principal of Golisano Holdings LLC. The Board will not approve or authorize any potential transaction without the recommendation of the Special Committee. The Special Committee has wide discretion and may retain legal, financial and other advisors to assist the Special Committee in its review and consideration of a potential transaction.

The Company is undertaking the approval of the adoption of the Amended and Restated Articles to provide the authority and capability to issue an appropriate amount and type of capital stock that may be exchanged for certain existing outstanding debt of the Company.

ADOPTION OF AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

General

On April 30, 2019, the Special Committee, Board of Directors and the consenting stockholders approved resolutions to adopt and approve Amended and Restated Articles to (i) expressly provide for shares of blank-check preferred stock pursuant to which the Board would have the authority to provide for one or more classes or series of preferred stock and with respect to each class or series, fix the number of shares constituting such class or series, the designation, voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights; and (ii) make such additional changes to the articles of incorporation as the Company believes is appropriate under Nevada law, its status as a public reporting company and for corporate governance purposes.

Reasons for the Creation of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock

We believe that for us to successfully execute our business strategy we will need to restructure certain existing outstanding debt of the Company and raise additional investment capital in the future and it is preferable or necessary to issue preferred stock to certain of the Company's debt holders and warrant holders. Preferred stock usually grants the holders certain preferential rights in voting, dividends, liquidation or other rights in preference over a company's common stock. Accordingly, in order to grant us the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for our Company, or as may be required by the capital markets, the Amended and Restated Articles will expressly create authorized shares of "blank check" preferred stock for us to issue.

The term "blank check" refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by our stockholders and the terms, rights and features of which are determined by our Board of Directors prior to or simultaneous with the issuance of such preferred stock. The authorization of such "blank check" preferred stock permits our Board of Directors to authorize and issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series without seeking further action or vote of our stockholders.

Lastly, we believe it was the original intention of the incorporator and Board to provide for "blank check" preferred stock through the original language in the articles of incorporation relating to "Stock Rights and Options" but in an abundance of caution and following good corporate governance, the Board of Directors believed it was appropriate to clarify this point and expressly provide for shares of blank-check preferred stock and the Board of Director's ability to authorize, set the powers, designate the preferences and rights and issue shares of preferred stock.

Principal Effects of the Creation of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock

Subject to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles and the limitations prescribed by law, our Board of Directors would be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolutions to issue shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including whether the dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the preferred stock, in each case without any further action or vote by our stockholders. The Amended and Restated Articles will give our Board of Directors flexibility, without further stockholder action, to issue preferred stock on such terms and conditions as our Board of Directors deems to be in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.

The authorization of the "blank check" preferred stock will provide us with increased financial flexibility to restructure a significant amount of our outstanding indebtedness and warrants and meet future capital requirements. It will allow preferred stock to be available for issuance in exchange for outstanding indebtedness and warrants as well as be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by our Board of Directors for any proper corporate purpose. It is anticipated that such purposes may include, without limitation, exchanging preferred stock for outstanding indebtedness, warrants or common stock, the issuance of preferred stock for cash as a means of obtaining capital for our use, or issuance of preferred stock as part or all of the consideration required to be paid by us for acquisitions of other businesses or assets.

The issuance by us of preferred stock could dilute both the equity interests and the earnings per share of existing holders of our common stock. Such dilution may be substantial, depending upon the number of shares issued. The newly authorized shares of preferred stock could also have voting rights superior to our common stock, and therefore would have a dilutive effect on the voting power of our existing stockholders.

Any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing

the number of votes required to approve a change in control of our Company. Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue such shares of preferred stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of our Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive our stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such shares of preferred stock to affiliates or persons friendly to our Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.

The Special Committee has commenced negotiating a potential transaction involving the restructuring of approximately

$80,000,000 of outstanding principal and accrued interest (the "Specified Debt") owed to Little Harbor, LLC, Great Harbor Capital, LLC and Golisano Holdings LLC ("Specified Debt Holders"), as well as certain of the Company's outstanding warrants. The Special Committee has engaged legal counsel and financial advisors with respect to the potential transaction. The Board will not approve or authorize any potential transaction without the recommendation of the Special Committee.

The Specified Debt Holders are related to certain Company directors, executive officers or stockholders owning 5% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock. Specifically, Mr. David L. Van Andel, the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, is the owner and principal of Great Harbor Capital LLC and Little Harbor Capital LLC, lenders to the Company. Mr. Mark Bugge, a former director of our company, was Chief Financial Officer of VAE, the family office representing the Van Andel family, and the Secretary of Great Harbor Capital LLC and Little Harbor, LLC. Additionally, Mr. B. Thomas Golisano, a member of the Company's Board of Directors is a principal of Golisano Holdings LLC.

Since the formation of the Special Committee, it has commenced discussions with the Specified Debt Holders with respect to a potential transaction to restructure the Specified Debt. The current negotiations contemplate an exchange of the Specified Debt for shares of a newly designated Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, as a result of satisfying the Specified Debt, certain warrants being held in escrow in connection with the Specified Debt would be returned to the Company. No definitive documentation has been drafted or executed and there can be no guarantee that such a transaction will be successfully negotiated and consummated.

Anti-Takeover Effects

The Amended and Restated Articles will provide us with shares of preferred stock which would permit us to issue additional shares of capital stock that could dilute the ownership of the holders of our common stock by one or more persons seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board of Directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company. The creation of the preferred stock is not being undertaken in response to any effort of which our Board of Directors is aware to enable anyone to accumulate shares of our common stock or gain control of the Company. The purpose of the creation of the preferred stock is to grant us the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for our Company, including to restructure our current indebtedness or as may be required by the capital markets.

Other than the creation of the "blank check" preferred stock and the additional revisions discussed herein, our Board of Directors does not currently contemplate the adoption of any other amendments to our articles of incorporation that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change the control of the Company. While it is possible that management could use the blank check preferred stock to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders, we have no intent, plans or proposals to use the newly created preferred stock as an anti-takeover mechanism or to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have anti-takeover consequences.

While the creation of the "blank check" preferred stock may have anti-takeover ramifications, our Board of Directors believes that the financial flexibility offered by such corporate actions will outweigh the disadvantages. To the extent that these corporate actions may have anti-takeover effects, third parties seeking to acquire us may be encouraged to negotiate directly with our Board of Directors, enabling us to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the stockholders' interests.

Additional Revisions

Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

Though Nevada law and our bylaws provide that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers and that directors and officers are not liable to a corporation for certain actions, it is customary for public companies to provide in their organizational documents that the corporation will indemnify its present and former directors and officers and limit the liability of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of its jurisdiction of formation. Our Board believes that persons otherwise qualified to serve as a directors and officers of our Company may be reluctant to do so unless we provide these

protections to our directors and officers. We may in the future seek to add qualified independent directors and new officers and the omission of these provisions from our articles of incorporation could deter them from accepting a position with our Company.

Our Amended and Restated Articles protect our officers and directors against personal liability for damages for their conduct or omissions as officers or directors, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. In addition, our Amended and Restated Articles require us to indemnify any present and former officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefits plan or other enterprise, against and from all loss, liabilities and expense (including attorneys' fees, costs, damages, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and ERISA excise taxes or penalties), actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such person in connection therewith, and to pay such expenses in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. The Board believes that providing for maximum indemnification and limiting the liability of our directors and officers will better enable us to engage and retain qualified officers and directors, as it is consistent with the practices of many public companies and, accordingly, believes that the adoption of the Amended and Restated Articles provides such protections and is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Corporate Governance Changes

The Amended and Restated Articles also make certain changes that we believe are beneficial from a corporate governance perspective, including to simplify the purpose of the Company as meaning any lawful activity under Nevada law, the elimination of the provision regarding the powers of the Company since we believe this information is not necessary and Nevada law and all other applicable laws already define and/or limit the Company's powers, and the elimination of the powers of the Board of Directors since we believe Nevada corporate law and federal securities laws already define and/or limit the powers of the Board of Directors and its committees. Additionally, we expanded the provision on the Board of Directors to specifically cover the process of electing directors, the terms of directors, how vacancies and newly created directorships may be filled and how directors may be removed from office. We believe these changes are appropriate from a corporate governance perspective.

Updating Changes

The Amended and Restated Articles also make certain changes that we believe are beneficial for purposes of updating the articles of incorporation, including updating the information regarding the Company's registered agent and its address to reflect the Company's current registered agent and address of the registered agent, and deleting outdated or unnecessary information, including deleting the name and address of the initial member of the Board of Directors and the incorporator of the Company.

Effective Date

In accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Company may file the Amended and Restated Articles with the Secretary of State of Nevada and subsequently authorize and issue shares of preferred stock on the date that is the twenty-first (21st) day following the mailing of this Information Statement to the Company's non-consenting stockholders.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table presents information about the beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock as of June 30, 2019 by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our directors, named executive officers, and current executive officers and directors as a group. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 255,643,828 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of Common Stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes shares of Common Stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after June 30, 2019, pursuant to options, warrants, restricted stock units or other rights. The percentage of ownership of the outstanding Common Stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the SEC, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has vested restricted stock units or converted options or warrants into shares of our Common Stock.

Section 1. Indemnification . The corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the corporation or is serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise or by reason of actions alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer. The indemnification of directors and officers by the corporation shall be to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as such law exists or may hereafter be amended (but only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to the amendment). The indemnification of directors and officers shall be against all loss, liability and expense (including attorney's fees, costs, damages, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and ERISA excise taxes or penalties) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal; provided, however, that with respect to any action, suit or proceeding initiated by a director or officer, the corporation shall indemnify such director or officer only if the action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation, except with respect to a suit for the enforcement of rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in accordance with Section 3 hereof.

Section 2. Expenses . The expenses of directors and officers incurred as a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative shall be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that if applicable law so requires, the advance payment of expenses shall be made only upon receipt by the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it is ultimately determined by a final decision, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article X.

Section 3. Non-exclusivity of Rights . The right to indemnification and to the payment of expenses as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding shall not be exclusive of any other right to which a person may be entitled under these articles of incorporation or any by-law, agreement, statute, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The right to indemnification under Section 1 hereof shall continue for a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

Section 4. Insurance . The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any loss, liability or expense, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such loss, liability or expense under Nevada law.

Section 5. Settlements . The corporation shall not be obligated to reimburse the amount of any settlement unless it has agreed to such settlement. If any person shall unreasonably fail to enter into a settlement of any action, suit or proceeding within the scope of Section 1 hereof, offered or assented to by the opposing party or parties and which is acceptable to the corporation, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, the indemnification obligation of the corporation in connection with such action, suit or proceeding shall be limited to the total of the amount at which settlement could have been made and the expenses incurred by such person prior to the time the settlement could reasonably have been effected.

Section 6. Other Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the corporation or to any director, officer, employee or agent of any of its subsidiaries to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article X subject to the imposition of any conditions or limitations as the board of directors of the corporation may deem necessary or appropriate.
