Section 4. Remaining Terms; Controlling Agreement.
All other provisions of the Rights Agreement that are not expressly amended hereby shall continue in full force and effect. From
and after the execution and delivery of this Amendment, any references to the Rights Agreement in the Rights Agreement and other
agreements or instruments shall be deemed to refer to the Rights Agreement as amended pursuant to this Amendment. In the event
of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the Rights Agreement, this Amendment shall control.


 


Section 5. Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Amendment is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority
to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Amendment shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything in this Amendment to the contrary, if any such term, provision, covenant or restriction is held by such court or authority
to be invalid, void or unenforceable and the Board determines in its good faith judgment that severing the invalid language from
