(x) as promptly as practicable return such Common Shares to the transfer agent of the Company to be held of record in the name of such Holder and relegended if such 10b5-1 Plan is terminated or such Common Shares are withdrawn from such 10b5-1 Plan, in each case, prior to such Common Shares being sold pursuant to such 10b5-1 Plan and without such Common Shares being deposited into a subsequent 10b5-1 Plan; and

(y) upon request of the Company, to promptly provide the Company with a statement from its broker showing the number of Common Shares then held by such Holder through accounts with such broker, and

(2) agrees and acknowledges that notwithstanding any removal of such legends and/or the depositing of such Common Shares with such broker, unless sold pursuant to such 10b5-1 Plan in a Public Sale, such Common Shares remain subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement and those contained in any such legends and shall not be Transferred by such Holder (or by such broker on its behalf) other than in accordance with this Agreement and such legends and, unless withdrawn from such 10b5-1 Plan, such 10b5-1 Plan.

(v) Shortening of Certain Time Periods. Each Holder and the Company hereby agree that the 15 day (or 5 Business Day in the case of 10b5-1 Plans established prior to November 13, 2013) time periods after which a Holder is permitted to Transfer Common Shares in accordance with the notice applicable to such proposed Transfer as set forth in Section 4(f)(ii) and Section 4(f)(iv) of this Agreement may be shortened on a case by case basis by the Company in its sole discretion to the extent the Company is able to confirm compliance by such Holder with Section 4(f) in a shorter period of time.”

B. Miscellaneous. This Amendment and the Stockholder Agreement, together, contain the complete agreement among the Company and the Holders and supersede any prior understandings, agreements, letters of intent, or representations by or among such parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate to the subject matter hereof. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Stockholder Agreement, as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect.
