The remaining terms of the Program as previously adopted by the Board remain in full force and effect.

  

On December 3, 2012, the Company entered into a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This plan has been established in accordance with, and as a part of, the Program. Repurchases under the Company’s 10b5-1 plan will be administered through an independent broker. The plan will cover the repurchase of shares commencing no earlier than December 15, 2012 and expiring December 14, 2013, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. Repurchases will be made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18, which contains certain price, market volume and timing constraints.
