As a result, at the close of business on January 16, 2018, the Rights will expire and will no longer be exercisable.

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 1 to the Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 to the Rights Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
