    <footnotes>
        <footnote id="F1">Represents Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) issued to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan in  lieu of $50,000 (50%) of the Reporting Person's annual retainer and meeting fees.  Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock.  The RSUs vest in full on May 12, 2023, subject to continued service with the Issuer through such vesting date.  This amended Form 4 is being filed for the sole purpose of correcting the foregoing footnote.  The original filing inadvertently referred to the Issuer's 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, and the footnote has been corrected to refer to the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan.</footnote>
