     The Stock is principally traded on the Nasdaq National Market (the “Exchange”).

     2. The first sentence of Section 4 is deleted in its entirety.

     3. The phrase “Pursuant to Rule 10b5-1(c)” in the first sentence of Section 5 is deleted in its entirety.

     9. This Amendment may be modified only by a writing executed by the Company and the Broker.
