(Sign here exactly as name(s) is shown on the face of this certificate without any change or alteration whatever.)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: When you sign your name to this Assignment Form without filling in the name of your “Assignee” or “Attorney”, this stock certificate becomes fully negotiable, similar to a check endorsed in blank. Therefore, to safeguard a signed certificate, it is recommended that you either (i) fill in the name of the new owner in the “Assignee” blank, or (ii) IF YOU ARE SENDING THE SIGNED CERTIFICATE TO YOUR BANK OR BROKER, fill in the name of the bank or broker in the “Attorney” blank. Alternatively, instead of using this Assignment Form, you may sign a separate “stock power” form and then mail the UNSIGNED stock certificate and the signed “stock power” in separate envelopes. For added protection, use certified or registered mail for a stock certificate.
 
Keep this certificate in a safe place. If it is lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company will require a bond of indemnity as a condition to the issuance of a replacement certificate.
