(2)  AMC may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock, the shares of Preferred Stock and the Warrants indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiaries.

(3)  The exercise price per Warrant Share is subject to adjustment from time to time in order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under the terms of the Warrants.
(4)  The purchase price per Warrant is equal to the $4.25 purchase price per share of Common Stock minus $1.50, the adjusted exercise price of each Warrant.
(5)  The number of Warrant Shares is subject to adjustment from time to time in order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under the terms of the Warrants.
(6)  The aggregate stated value of the 7,479.432 shares of the Preferred Stock is $8,681,068, which includes the original certificate value of $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock plus accrued dividends on each share of Preferred Stock through April 1, 2017. Thereafter, additional dividends have been accrued daily, compounded monthly, and have been and will be paid quarterly in cash or equity at RLJE's discretion. As of January 8, 2018, the 7,479.432 shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible into 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock.
(7)  The purchase price per share of Preferred Stock is calculated based on the $4.25 purchase price per share of Common Stock multiplied by the 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Preferred Stock.
