        <footnote id="F1">A total of 7,824 shares were awarded to the Reporting Person.  Of those shares, 3,000 shares were awarded to the Reporting Person pursuant to the 2004 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, and the Reporting Person purchased these shares at par value, or $0.001 per share; and 4,824 shares were awarded to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Issuer's 2015 Incentive Plan.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This Form 4 is amended solely to correct the Reporting Person's total beneficial ownership amount.  The Form 4 originally filed on May 19, 2016 inadvertently omitted 6,000 shares of common stock from the Reporting Person's total beneficial ownership amount.  No other changes were made to the originally filed Form 4.</footnote>
