The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Second Amendment.  The Company will file a copy of the Second Amendment as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2014.
