WHEREAS, on December 7, 2023, the Board determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Rights Agreement on the terms set forth herein;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 26 of the Rights Agreement, so long as the Rights are still redeemable, the Company may, and the Rights Agent shall, if the Company so directs, supplement or amend any provision of the Rights Agreement in any respect in accordance with the provisions of such Section 26, and as of the date hereof, the Rights are redeemable; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement and in accordance with Section 26 thereof, the Company has directed that the Rights Agreement be amended as set forth in this Second Amendment;

6. Entire Agreement. The Rights Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and is in full substitution for any and all prior oral or written agreements and understandings between them related to such subject matter, and neither party hereto shall be liable or bound to the other party hereto in any manner with respect to such subject matter by any covenants or agreements except as specifically set forth herein and in the Rights Agreement, as amended by this Second Amendment.

7. Effective Date; Certification. Upon the execution and delivery of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto, this Second Amendment shall be deemed effective as of the date first written above (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”), as if executed on such date. The officer of the Company executing this Second Amendment hereby certifies to the Rights Agent that the amendments to the Rights Agreement set forth in this Second Amendment are in compliance with the terms of Section 26 of the Rights Agreement and the certification contained in this Section 7 shall constitute and satisfy the certification required by Section 26 of the Rights Agreement.
