The Plan participant shall have no influence over the timing of any sales under the Plan, and there can be no assurance that the shares covered by the Plan actually will be sold. The Plan participant entered into the Plan in order to diversify his financial holdings upon the recommendation of his financial advisor.

This Plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Company’s insider trading policy. A 10b5-1 plan must be entered into in good faith at a time when the insider is not in possession of material, nonpublic information.
