(a) the date of the termination of the Forbearance Agreement by
BMO to Section 8 thereof, or (b) May 15, 2017.
Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Forbearance

Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 16, 2017, the Companys Board of Directors (the Board)

fill its three current vacancies.
There are no understandings or arrangements between Messrs.
Steele, Buxton, or Silverman and any other person to which
Messrs. Steele, Buxton, or Silverman was selected as a director
of the Company; provided, however that as a condition of BMOs

that the Company appoint three new directors who were acceptable
to the Board and to BMO. None of the new appointees to the Board
has any family relationship with any director or executive
officer of the Company. Mr. Steele currently serves as the

on which committees of the Board the new appointees will serve.
The appointment of the new directors was effective immediately.

Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective March 16, 2017, the Board approved and amended the
Companys Bylaws to amend and restate Section 3.2 thereof in a
manner that more clearly complies with the Business Corporation
Act of the State of Illinois, as amended (the BCA) and that
provides for a Board ranging in size from three to seven
directors, as designated by the Board from time to time.
Previously, the Bylaws had provided for a variable-size board
without specifying a minimum size and a maximum size as required
by the BCA.
The foregoing summary of the amendment to the Bylaws is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of such amendment,
which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K
