“Aggregate Limits. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan shall be equal to 11,050,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Share Pool”), which includes 5,350,000 shares of Common Stock originally established by the Plan and an incremental 5,750,000 shares of Common Stock added to the Share Pool pursuant to this Amendment.”

4. Effect of the Amendment. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect. Any reference to the Plan contained in any notice, request or other document executed concurrently with or after the Amendment Effective Date shall be deemed to include this Amendment, unless the context shall otherwise require.

5. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

6. Headings. Headings are given to the sections of this Amendment solely as a convenience to facilitate reference and shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan, this Amendment or any provision thereof or hereof.
