No. 2 on April 16, 2019 (as so amended, the “Statement”). The Statement shall not be modified except as specifically
provided herein.
Information reported
in the Statement remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended or superseded by information contained in this Amendment
No. 3.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Schedule I of the Statement
is hereby amended and replaced with Schedule I attached hereto.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Item 4 of the Statement

14, 2019, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving, on the terms and conditions
set forth therein (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Amendment, upon the consummation of the Merger, each
share of common stock of the Company (“Share”) will be converted into the right to receive $30.30 per Share
in cash, which is a reduction from the $33.15 per Share provided for in the Original Agreement.
In connection with
the Amendment, on June 24, 2020, the Reporting Person and Parent entered into an amendment and restatement of the April 14,
2019 Voting and Support Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Voting Agreement”). The Reporting Person owns
16,572,106 shares of Common Stock (the “Covered Shares”) as of the date of this filing.

board of directors under circumstances defined in the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Person has agreed, among other things, to
vote (i) its Covered Shares in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and (ii) against certain
other matters, including the following: (a) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach
of the Merger Agreement or a failure of timely satisfaction of closing conditions under the Merger Agreement, (b) any acquisition
proposal or other proposal made in opposition to, in competition with, or inconsistent with, the Merger or the Merger Agreement
and (c) any other action, agreement or proposal that could reasonably be expected to delay, postpone or adversely affect
the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The Voting Agreement
terminates upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement becomes effective, (ii)
the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with the terms thereof, or (iii) the Reporting Person’s election
to terminate in its sole discretion promptly following any amendment to the Merger Agreement that reduces or changes the form of
consideration payable.
The Voting Agreement
also restricts the Reporting Person, among other things, from transferring the Covered Shares without the consent of Parent. Exceptions
include transfers to affiliated transferees who agree to be bound by the terms of the Voting Agreement and transfers incident to
ordinary course financing transactions following the receipt of the required stockholder approval of the Merger by the Company’s
stockholders.
The foregoing description
of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting
Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit E hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated
Voting and Support Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 24, 2020, by and between

A. On

B. Concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Everglades Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect subsidiary

with respect to all shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) that
the Stockholder owns, beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) or of record as of the date hereof, and any
additional shares of Common Stock that such Stockholder may acquire beneficial (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act)
or record ownership of after the date hereof (collectively, the “Covered Shares”).
D. As
of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the beneficial or legal owner of record, and has sole voting power over, 16,572,106 of shares

Stockholder dated as of August 3, 2016 (the “Subscription Agreement”).
F. In
furtherance of the Amendment, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Original Voting Agreement in its entirety.
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending
to be legally bound, do hereby agree that the Original Voting Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended
Merger Agreement. When used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Section 1.
“Expiration
Time” shall mean the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) such date and time as the Amended Merger Agreement
shall be validly terminated pursuant to Article VIII thereof.
“Transfer”
shall mean (a) any direct or indirect offer, sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer
(by operation of Law or otherwise), either voluntary or involuntary, or entry into any option or other Contract, arrangement or
understanding with respect to any offer, sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer
(by operation of Law or otherwise), of any Covered Shares or any interest in any Covered Shares (in each case other than this Agreement),
(b) the deposit of such Covered Shares into a voting trust, the entry into a voting agreement or arrangement (other than this Agreement
and the Original Voting Agreement) with respect to such Covered Shares or the grant of any proxy or power of attorney (other than
this Agreement) with respect to such Covered Shares, (c) entry into any hedge, swap or other transaction or Contract which is designed
to (or is reasonably expected to lead to or result in) a transfer of the economic consequences of ownership of any Covered Shares,
whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Covered Shares, in cash or otherwise or (d) any Contract or commitment
(whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) or (c) above.
2. Agreement
to Not Transfer the Covered Shares.
2.1 No
Transfer of Covered Shares. Until the Expiration Time, the Stockholder agrees not to Transfer or cause or permit the Transfer
of any Covered Shares, other than with the prior written consent of Parent (to be granted or withheld in Parent’s sole discretion);
provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit (i) a Transfer to an Affiliate of the Stockholder, but only
if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent,
to assume all of the obligations of the Stockholder under, and be bound by all of the terms of, this Agreement, and (ii) from and
after the date of the Second Stockholders Meeting at which the Second Company Requisite Vote is obtained, the Stockholder and its
Affiliates shall be permitted to engage in Transfers to the extent incident to or resulting from the pledging of the Covered Shares
as collateral as part of the ordinary course financing activity of the Stockholder and its Affiliates. Any Transfer or attempted
Transfer of any Covered Shares in violation of this Section 2.1 shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
2.2 Update
of Beneficial Ownership Information. Promptly following the written request of Parent, or upon the Stockholder’s or any
of its Affiliates’ acquisition of beneficial (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) or record ownership of additional
shares of Common Stock after the date hereof, the Stockholder will send to Parent a written notice setting forth the number of
Covered Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder or any of its Affiliates and indicating the capacity in which such Covered
Shares are owned. The Stockholder agrees to cause any of its Affiliates that acquires beneficial ownership of any shares of Common
Stock on or after the date hereof to execute an agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent to be bound with respect to
this Agreement with respect to such shares to the same extent such shares would be subject to this Agreement had they been beneficially
acquired by the Stockholder.
3. Agreement
to Vote the Covered Shares.
3.1 Until
the Expiration Time, at every meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which any of the following matters are to be voted
on (and at every adjournment or postponement thereof), and on any action or approval of Company’s stockholders by written
consent with respect to any of the following matters, the Stockholder shall vote (including via proxy) the Covered Shares (or cause
the holder of record on any applicable record date to vote (including via proxy) the Covered Shares):
(a) unless
the Company Board has made a Change of Second Recommendation that has not been rescinded or otherwise withdrawn, in favor of the
adoption of the Amended Merger Agreement; and
(b) unless
the Company Board has made a Change of Second Recommendation that has not been rescinded or otherwise withdrawn, against (A) any
action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Amended Merger Agreement or result in any condition
set forth in Article VII of the Amended Merger Agreement not being satisfied on a timely basis, (B) any Acquisition Proposal,
or any other proposal made in opposition to, in competition with, or inconsistent with the Amended Merger Agreement, the Merger
or the transactions contemplated by the Amended Merger Agreement and (C) any other action, agreement or proposal which could reasonably
be expected to delay, postpone or adversely affect consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Amended
Merger Agreement.
3.2 Until
the Expiration Time, at every meeting of the Company’s stockholders (and at every adjournment or postponement thereof), the
Stockholder shall be represented in person or by proxy at such meeting (or cause the holders of record on any applicable record
date to be represented in person or by proxy at such meeting) in order for the Covered Shares to be counted as present for purposes
of establishing a quorum.
3.3 Except
as explicitly set forth in this Section 3, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Stockholder to vote (or
cause to be voted), including by proxy, if applicable, in favor of, or against or to abstain with respect to, any other matters
presented to the stockholders of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the Stockholder’s
ability to vote for directors of the Company.
4. Waiver
of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder hereby waives all appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to all Covered
Shares owned (beneficially or of record) by such Stockholder.
5. No
Solicitation.
5.1 Until
the Expiration Time, the Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, take any of
the actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 6.18(a) of the Amended Merger Agreement. The Stockholder shall, and
shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted
before the date of this Agreement with any persons other than Parent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Stockholder shall not be responsible for the actions of the Company or its
Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), any Subsidiary of the Company or any officers, directors (in their capacity as such),
employees and professional advisors of any of the foregoing, including with respect to any matters referred to in Section 6.18
of the Amended Merger Agreement.
5.2 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, solely to the extent the Company is permitted, pursuant to Section 6.18(b) of the Amended Merger Agreement, to have
discussions or negotiations with a person making a bona fide Acquisition Proposal, the Stockholder and its Representatives
shall be permitted to participate in such discussions or negotiations with such person making such Acquisition Proposal.
6. No
Legal Action. The Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, bring, commence, institute, maintain,
prosecute or voluntarily aid any claim, appeal, or proceeding which (a) challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation
of any provision of this Agreement or (b) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder (or its
performance hereunder) breaches any fiduciary duty of the Company Board (or any member thereof) or any duty that the Stockholder
has (or may be alleged to have) to the Company or to the other holders of the Common Stock.
7. Capacity.
No Person who is a representative of the Stockholder, who is or becomes during the term hereof a director of the Company, shall
be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Person’s capacity as a director of the Company.
The Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record holder or beneficial owner of the Covered
Shares and nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken (or any failures to act) by a representative of the Stockholder
in such representative’s capacity as a director of the Company. The taking of any actions (or any failures to act) by any
representative of the Stockholder in his or her capacity as a director of the Company shall not be deemed to constitute a breach
of this Agreement, regardless of the circumstances related thereto.
8. Notice
of Certain Events. The Stockholder shall notify Parent in writing promptly of (a) any fact, event or circumstance that would
cause, or reasonably be expected to cause or constitute, a breach of the representations and warranties of the Stockholder under
this Agreement or (b) the receipt by the Stockholder of any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent
of such Person is or may be required in connection with this Agreement.
9. Stockholders,
Registration Rights and Subscription Agreements. The Stockholder, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby agrees that
upon the Effective Time, (i) the Stockholder and its Affiliates shall cease to have any rights under the Stockholders Agreement,
the Registration Rights Agreement or the Subscription Agreement, (ii) the Stockholders Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement
and Subscription Agreement shall be terminated without any further action of the Stockholder or its Affiliates and (iii) the Stockholder
and its Affiliates release the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates, and the Parent on behalf of itself and its Affiliates
(including the Surviving Corporation) release the Stockholder and its Affiliates, from all liabilities or obligations arising under
the Stockholders Agreement the Registration Rights Agreement or the Subscription Agreement, it being agreed, for the avoidance
of doubt, that the foregoing shall not limit the rights under Section 6.10 of the Amended Merger Agreement of any director nominee
appointed pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.

12.6
|
Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury.
|
(a) Each
of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court
therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular
matter, in which case, of any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any claim directly
or indirectly based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the actions of Parent or the Stockholder in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof and thereof.
Each of the parties (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state
appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction
over a particular matter, in which case, of any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware) with respect to any
matter relating to or arising under this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction
by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any such proceeding in any
court other than the Delaware state or federal courts within the State of Delaware, as described above. Each of Parent and the
Stockholder irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action, suit or
proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address specified pursuant
to Section 12.5, such service of process to be effective upon acknowledgment of receipt of such registered mail.
(b) EACH
OF PARENT AND THE STOCKHOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT OR THE STOCKHOLDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND
THEREOF.
12.7 Documentation
and Information. The Stockholder consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Parent and the Company of the
Stockholder’s identity and holding of the Covered Shares, and the terms of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, the disclosure of this Agreement), in any press release, the Second Proxy Statement and any other disclosure document required
in connection with the Amended Merger Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Amended Merger Agreement;
provided, that prior to any such publication or disclosure Parent and the Company have provided the Stockholder with an
opportunity to review and comment upon such announcement or disclosure, which comments Parent and the Company will consider in
good faith.
12.8 Further
Assurances. The Stockholder agrees, from time to time, at the reasonable request of Parent and without further consideration,
to execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonable required to consummate and
make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
12.9 Stop
Transfer Instructions. At all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Expiration
Time, in furtherance of this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company or its counsel to notify the Company’s
transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Covered Shares (and that this Agreement places limits
on the voting and transfer of the Covered Shares), subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order
and notice will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company following the Expiration Time.
12.10 Specific
Performance. Each of Parent and the Stockholder agrees that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly
agreed that Parent and the Stockholder shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court identified in Section 12.6(a) above,
this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
12.11 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties in respect of the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
all prior negotiations and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. For
the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to amend, alter or modify, in any respect, any of the provisions
of the Amended Merger Agreement.
12.12 Reliance.
The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Amendment and the Amended Merger
Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.
12.13 Interpretation.
This Agreement and any documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be construed without
regard to the identity of the person who drafted the various provisions of the same. Each and every provision of this Agreement
and such other documents and instruments shall be construed as though all of the parties participated equally in the drafting of
the same. Consequently, the parties acknowledge and agree that any rule of construction that a document is to be construed against
the drafting party shall not be applicable either to this Agreement or such other documents and instruments. The words “hereof,”
“herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement
as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section references are to this Agreement unless otherwise
specified. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement,
they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The headings contained in this Agreement are
for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. In this Agreement,
all references to “dollars” or “$” are to United States dollars. References to a party or to the parties
to this Agreement refers to the Parent and the Stockholder, individually or collectively, as the case may be.
12.14 Assignment.
Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of any party hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties
hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party.
12.15 Severability.
Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity, legality
or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement
is determined to be so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable,
in all cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party or its stockholders. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in
an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.
12.16 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in counterparts, all of which shall be considered an original and one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties,
it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
12.17 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving
effect to choice of law principles thereof).
12.18 Termination.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate without further action by any of the parties hereto and shall have no further force
or effect as of the earliest to occur of (i) the Expiration Time, or (ii) the election of the Stockholder in its sole discretion
to terminate this Agreement promptly following any amendment of any term or provision of the Amended Merger Agreement dated as
of the date hereof that reduces or changes the form of consideration payable pursuant to and in accordance with the Amended Merger
Agreement; provided that the provisions of this Article XII shall survive any such termination. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, termination of this Agreement shall not prevent any party from seeking any remedies (at law or in equity) against
any other party for that party’s breach of any of the terms of this Agreement prior to the date of termination.
