Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	This amendment is being filed to amend the Form 4 filed by the reporting person on September 20, 2016 (the "Original Form") to correct an inadvertent administrative error in (i) the number of common shares underlying the stock option exercised by the reporting person on September 19, 2016 in columns 5 and 7 of Table 2, (ii) the number of common shares acquired upon exercise of such stock option as reported in column 4 of Table 1 and (iii) the number of shares beneficially owned following this exercise as reported in column 5 of Table 1. The Original Form underreported the amount of common shares underlying the employee stock option disposed of by the reporting person on September 19, 2016 and thus the number of common shares acquired upon such exercise was also underreported.
(2)	This amendment is also being filed to amend the Original Form to correct an inadvertent error in the exercise price that was reported for the employee stock option exercised by the reporting person on September 19, 2016.
(3)	This amendment is also being filed to amend the Original Form to correct the number of common shares sold by the reporting person in column 4 of Table 1, which was underreported due to the inadvertent error described in Footnote 1 to this amended Form 4.
(4)	The option became exercisable in three equal annual installments, beginning on the identified date, which was the first anniversary of the date on which the option was granted.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
