Change in the Fiscal Year

On December29, 2016, the Company filed Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation (the Amended and Restated Articles)
with the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, Division of
Corporations and Trademarks of the United States Virgin Islands.

The Amended and Restated Articles provide for the authorization
of 14 additional series of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per
share, of the Company, consisting of Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E
Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred
Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock, Series

Stock, Series M Preferred Stock, Series N Preferred Stock and
Series O Preferred Stock (collectively, the New Preferred Stock),
and each series of New Preferred Stock shall consist of up to an
aggregate of 1,000shares.

The Amended and Restated Articles and the New Preferred Stock
were authorized in connection with the 2016 Preferred Stock Plan
that was approved by the Companys stockholders at the 2016 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders in order to induce certain employees to
become employed by and remain employees of the Company and any
future subsidiaries in the U.S. Virgin Islands and to provide
additional incentives for bona fide U.S. Virgin Islands resident
employees to promote the success of the Companys business. Awards
under the 2016 Preferred Stock Plan may be granted only to
employees of the Company or any of its U.S. Virgin Islands
subsidiaries who are bona fide residents of the U.S. Virgin
Islands. Only U.S. Virgin Islands resident employees are entitled
to receive the tax benefits of receiving shares of the New
Preferred Stock.

The rights, powers, preferences and restrictions of each series
of New Preferred Stock are identical in all respects other than
potentially different dividend entitlements per share, if any,
declared and paid by the Company. Each eligible U.S. Virgin
Islands resident participant in the 2016 Preferred Stock Plan who
receives shares is expected to receive grants of a different
series of New Preferred Stock. The rights, powers, preferences
and restrictions of each series of New Preferred Stock are
summarized as follows:

a. General. Each series of New Preferred Stock shall be
identical in all respects with the other shares in such series of
New Preferred Stock. No share of any series of New Preferred
Stock shall be convertible into any other class or series of
capital stock of the Company.

b. Voting. Except as otherwise set forth herein or
otherwise required by applicable law, each series of New
Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights and powers, and
the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the
taking of any corporate action. The holders of each series of New
Preferred Stock may have voting rights with respect to any
amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles that affects the
rights, powers, preferences and restriction of such series.

c. Liquidation Preference. In the event of a
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company or a
Change of Control (as defined in the Amended and Restated
Articles) of the Company, before any payment or distribution of
the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus) shall be
made or set apart for the payment to shares that rank junior to
such series of New Preferred Stock, the holders of such series of
New Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount in
cash equal to $10.00 per share. For purposes of the foregoing
liquidation preference of each series of New Preferred Stock,
such series (i)shall be pari passu with the common stock
of the Company and each other series of New Preferred Stock of
the Company and (ii)expressly shall be junior to the issued and
outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company.

d. Dividends. The holders of each series of New
Preferred Stock shall have no rights to regular or ordinary
dividends, but shall have the right to payment of dividends as,
when and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company;
provided that no dividend declared with respect to any series of
New Preferred Stock shall entitle any other holder of any other
class of common stock or preferred stock of the Company to a
dividend or distribution unless and until the Board of Directors
declares and pays any dividend or distribution to such other
class of common stock or preferred stock of the Company.

e. Restrictions on Transfer; Ownership Requirements.
Each holder of a series of New Preferred Stock shall not sell or
otherwise dispose of such series of New Preferred Stock other
than the sale back to the Company upon termination of his or her
employment with the Company for any reason. All shares of each
series of New Preferred Stock must be sold back to the Company by
the employee immediately upon the termination of his or her
employment with the Company at a price of $10.00 per share.
