Morgan Securities LLC.

The 90-day restricted period and the 45-day restricted period, as applicable, described in the preceding paragraph will be automatically extended if:

• prior to the expiration of the applicable restricted period, the Issuer announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 90-day or the 45-day period, as applicable,

in which case the restrictions described above will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.
