NOW THEREFORE, Section 3(d)(i) of the Plan titled “Section 162(m) Limitations” is hereby amended as follows:

The share amount in Section 3(d)(i) shall remain “173,913 shares of Common Stock”, which reflects an increase in the shares reserved for grant under Section 3(d)(i) of the Plan such that this number of shares is not impacted by the Reverse Stock Split.
