To the extent we become aware that such selling stockholder did not acquire its common stock in the ordinary course of business or did have such an agreement or understanding, we will file a prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part to designate such affiliate an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.
