All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Agreement. The parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby amend the Original Agreement as follows:
1. Reference to the “Registration Statement” in the Original Agreement shall refer to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.333-249268), originally filed with the Commission on October 2, 2020 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “New Registration Statement”), when the New Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission.
2. References to the date of the Original Agreement in the form of Issuance Notice included as Schedule I to the Original Agreement and the Form of Officer’s Certificate included as Exhibit A to the Original Agreement are hereby revised to read, “July 22, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Sales Agreement, dated October 2, 2020.”
3. Except as specifically set forth herein, all other provisions of the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
4. This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Agreement (this “Amendment”) shall become effective upon the date that the New Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act.
5. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability. This Amendment together with the Original Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and Issuance Notices issued pursuant hereto and thereto) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. All references in the Original Agreement to the “Agreement” shall mean the Original Agreement as amended by this Amendment; provided, however, that all references to “date of this Agreement” in the Original Agreement shall continue to refer to the date of the Original Agreement.

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Amendment and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
