NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable sections of SEC regulation S-X, and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Effective January 1, 2023, we reorganized our reporting structure including the transition of Jerry E. Gahlhoff, Jr. to the role of Chief Executive Officer. As a result of the transition, we reevaluated our segment reporting and determined that we now have two operating segments and two goodwill reporting units, but we continue to operate under one reportable segment which contains our residential, commercial, and termite business lines. As of January 1, 2023, we performed an assessment of whether there was an indication of impairment before and after the reorganization. In that analysis, we determined that no goodwill impairment existed. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies or the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Rollins, Inc. (including its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, “Rollins,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, the quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures herein should be read in conjunction with the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company considered the impact of economic trends on the assumptions and estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the quarter have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature but complicated by the continued uncertainty surrounding economic trends. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The severity, magnitude and duration of certain economic trends continue to be uncertain and are difficult to predict. Therefore, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to economic trends and may change materially in future periods.

Certain condensed consolidated financial statement amounts relative to the prior period have been revised as detailed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The impact of this revision on the Company's previously reporting condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, includes a decrease to depreciation and amortization expense of $1.7 million and $3.4 million and an increase in the provision for income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.8 million. This revision affects these specific line items and subtotals within the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently adopted accounting standards

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” The amendments in this Update eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, for public business entities, the amendments in this Update require that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. ASU 2022-02 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

Fox Pest Control Acquisition

On April 1, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of FPC Holdings, LLC (“Fox Pest Control”, or "Fox"). As part of funding the Fox Pest Control acquisition, on April 3, 2023, the Company borrowed incremental amounts under the Credit Agreement of $305.0 million. The proceeds were used to pay cash consideration at closing.

Management believes that the acquisition will expand the Rollins family of brands and drive long term value given Fox's attractive financial profile and complementary end market exposure.

The Fox Pest Control acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, and the Fox results of operations are included in the Company's results of operations from the April 1, 2023, acquisition date. Fox contributed revenues of $39.4 million and net earnings of $2.2 million from April 1, 2023, through the period end date, June 30, 2023.

The valuation of the Fox Pest Control acquisition was performed by a third-party valuation specialist under our management’s supervision. The preliminary values of identified assets acquired, and liabilities assumed for Fox Pest Control are summarized as follows (in thousands).

June 30, 2023
Cash$4,366
Accounts receivable1,542
Materials and supplies431
Operating lease right-of-use assets8,689
Other current assets487
Goodwill187,655

Trademarks & tradenames38,000
Current liabilities(5,051)
Unearned revenue(6,144)
Operating lease liabilities(8,689)
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed$339,286

The Company purchased Fox Pest Control for $339.3 million. Included in the total consideration above are cash payments of $302.8 million made upon closing, contingent consideration valued at $28.0 million that is based on Fox Pest Control's financial performance in the twelve months following acquisition, and holdback liabilities valued at $8.4 million to be held by the Company to settle indemnity claims and working capital adjustments. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a charge of $1.0 million related to adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from the acquisition of Fox. This charge is reported within sales, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

Acquired customer contracts are estimated to have a remaining useful life of 7 years. The acquired trademarks and tradenames are expected to have an indefinite useful life. See Note 6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further details.

Goodwill from this acquisition represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of the business acquired. The factors contributing to the amount of goodwill are based on strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized. The recognized goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Valuations of certain assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and goodwill, as of the acquisition date have not been finalized at this time and are provisional.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following table presents unaudited consolidated pro forma information as if the acquisition of Fox had occurred on January 1, 2022. The information presented below is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of results that would have been achieved if the acquisition had actually occurred as of the beginning of such years or results which may be achieved in the future.

The pro forma financial information above adjusts for the effects of material business combination items, including the alignment of accounting policies, the effect of fair value adjustments including the amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest expense related to the incremental borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and income tax effects as if Fox had been part of Rollins since January 1, 2022.

Other 2023 Acquisitions

The Company also made 14 other acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The aggregate preliminary values of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at the dates of acquisition, as adjusted during the valuation period, are included in the reconciliation of the total preliminary consideration as follows (in thousands):

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed$33,366

Included in the total consideration above are acquisition holdback liabilities of $3.6 million.

Goodwill from acquisitions represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The factors contributing to the amount of goodwill are based on strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized. A majority of the recognized goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Valuations of certain assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and goodwill, as of the acquisition date have not been finalized at this time and are provisional.

Unearned short-term revenue is recognized over the next 12-month period. The majority of unearned long-term revenue is recognized over a period of five years or less with immaterial amounts recognized through 2033.

NOTE 5. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily related to accounts receivables and financed receivables derived from customer services revenue. To reduce credit risk for residential pest control accounts receivable, we promote enrollment in our auto-pay programs. In general, we may suspend future services for customers with past due balances. The Company’s credit risk is generally low with a large number of individuals and entities comprising Rollins’ customer base and dispersion across many different geographical regions.

The Company manages its financing receivables on an aggregate basis when assessing and monitoring credit risks. The Company’s established credit evaluation and monitoring procedures seek to minimize the amount of business we conduct with higher risk customers. The credit quality of a potential obligor is evaluated at the loan origination based on an

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

assessment of the individual’s Beacon/credit bureau score. Rollins requires a potential obligor to have good credit worthiness with low risk before entering into a contract. Depending upon the individual’s credit score, the Company may accept with 100% financing, require a significant down payment or turn down the contract. Delinquencies of accounts are monitored each month. Financing receivables include installment receivable amounts, some of which are due subsequent to one year from the balance sheet dates.

The Company’s allowances for credit losses for trade accounts receivable and financed receivables are developed using historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and a review of the current status of customers’ receivables. The Company’s receivable pools are classified between residential customers, commercial customers, large commercial customers, and financed receivables. Accounts are written off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company determines that amounts are uncollectible, and recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when collected. The Company stops accruing interest to these receivables when they are deemed uncollectible. Below is a roll forward of the Company’s allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.

NOTE 7. LEASES

The Company leases certain buildings, vehicles, and equipment. The Company elected the practical expedient approach permitted under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 “Leases”, not to include short-term leases with a duration of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, all leases were classified as operating leases. Building leases generally carry terms of 5 to 15 years with annual rent escalations at fixed amounts per the lease. Vehicle leases generally carry a fixed term of one year with renewal options to extend the lease on a monthly basis resulting in lease terms up to 7 years depending on the class of vehicle. The exercise of renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. It is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the renewal options on its vehicle leases. The measurement of right-of-use assets and liabilities for vehicle leases includes the fixed payments associated with such renewal periods. We separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. Our lease agreements do not contain any material variable payments, residual value guarantees, early termination penalties or restrictive covenants.

The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease when available; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Accordingly, we estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had additional future obligations of $11.9 million for leases that had not yet commenced.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, financed and notes receivable, accounts payable, other short-term liabilities, and debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values. The Company also has derivative instruments as further discussed in Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant non-observable inputs.

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had investments in international bonds of $10.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively. These bonds are accounted for as available for sale securities and are level 2 assets under the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2023, $0.8 million was included in other current assets and $9.3 million was included in other assets. At December 31, 2022, $0.5 million was included in other current assets and $10.2 million was included in other assets. The bonds are recorded at fair market value with unrealized losses of $0.1 million and an insignificant amount of unrealized gains included in other comprehensive income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Unrealized losses of $0.4 million and $1.0 million are included in other comprehensive income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had $49.3 million and $13.5 million of acquisition holdback and earnout liabilities payable to former owners of acquired companies, respectively. The earnout liabilities were discounted to reflect the expected probability of payout, and both earnout and holdback liabilities were discounted to their net present value on the Company’s books and are considered level 3 liabilities. The table below presents a summary of the changes in fair value for these liabilities.

NOTE 9. DEBT

On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), which refinanced its previous credit facility described below. This Credit Agreement replaces the April 2019 facility that was set to expire in April 2024.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies, including Euros, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars, Pounds Sterling and Japanese Yen, subject to a $400 million foreign currency sublimit. The Credit Facility also includes sub-facilities for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $150 million and swing line loans at the Administrative Agent’s discretion of up to $50 million. Certain subsidiaries of Rollins provide unsecured guarantees of the Credit Facility. Rollins has the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement in the form of increased revolving commitments or one or more tranches of term loans by up to an additional $750 million, subject to the agreement of the participating lenders and certain other customary conditions. The maturity date of the loans under the Credit Agreement is February 24, 2028.

Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Rollins’ election, at (i) for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, (A) an alternate base rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%), which is the greatest of (x) the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase, (y) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York overnight bank funding rate, plus 50 basis points, and (z) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month interest period, plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.50% per annum based on Rollins’ consolidated total net leverage ratio; or (B) the greater of term SOFR for the applicable interest period plus 10 basis points (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) and zero, plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum based on Rollins’ consolidated total net leverage ratio; and (ii) for loans denominated in other currencies, including Euros, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars, Pounds Sterling and Japanese Yen, such interest rates as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $340.0 million under the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are presented under the long-term debt caption of our condensed consolidated balance sheet, net of $2.5 million in unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2023. The aggregate effective interest rate on the debt outstanding as of June 30, 2023, was 6.5%. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $54.9 million under the previous Term Loan and there were no outstanding borrowings under the previous Revolving Commitment. The aggregate effective interest rate on the debt outstanding as of December 31, 2022 was 5.1%.

The Company maintains $71.7 million in letters of credit as of June 30, 2023. These letters of credit are required by the Company’s insurance companies, due to the Company’s high deductible insurance program, to secure various workers’ compensation and casualty insurance contracts coverage and were increased from $71.3 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate potential future insurance claims.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, certain financial covenants including covenants restricting Rollins’ ability to incur certain indebtedness or liens, or to merge or consolidate with or sell substantially all of its assets to another entity. Further, the Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant restricting Rollins’ ability to permit the ratio of Rollins’ consolidated total net debt to EBITDA to exceed 3.50 to 1.00. Following certain acquisitions, Rollins may elect to increase the financial covenant level to 4.00 to 1.00 temporarily. The ratio is calculated as of the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended. The Credit Agreement also contains provisions permitting a future environmental, social and governance amendment, subject to certain terms and conditions contained therein, by which pricing may be adjusted pursuant to the Company's performance measured against certain sustainability-linked metrics. The Company is in compliance with applicable debt covenants as of June 30, 2023.

NOTE 10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to certain interest rate risks on our outstanding debt and foreign currency risks arising from our international business operations and global economic conditions. The Company enters into certain derivative financial instruments to lock in certain interest rates, as well as to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar.

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against its functional currency, the U.S. dollar. We use foreign currency derivatives, specifically foreign currency forward contracts (“FX Forwards”), to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD and USD-AUD exchange rates. FX Forwards involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The FX Forwards are typically settled in U.S. dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. We do not currently designate any of these FX Forwards under hedge accounting, but rather reflect the changes in fair value immediately in earnings. We do not use such instruments for speculative or trading purposes, but rather use them to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rates. Changes in the fair value of FX Forwards were recorded in other income/expense and were insignificant for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The fair values of the Company’s FX Forwards were recorded as a net liability of $0.2 million in Other Current Liabilities as of June 30, 2023, and a net asset of $0.3 million in Other Current Assets as of December 31, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had the following outstanding FX Forwards (in thousands except for number of instruments):

NOTE 11. CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in, and will continue to be involved in, various claims, arbitrations, contractual disputes, investigations, and regulatory and litigation matters relating to, and arising out of, our businesses and our operations. These matters may involve, but are not limited to, allegations that our services or vehicles caused damage or injury, claims that our services did not achieve the desired results, claims related to acquisitions and allegations by federal, state or local authorities, including taxing authorities, of violations of regulations or statutes. In addition, we are parties to employment-related cases and claims from time to time, which may include claims on a representative or class action basis alleging wage and hour law violations. We are also involved from time to time in certain environmental matters primarily arising in the normal course of business. We evaluate pending and threatened claims and establish loss contingency reserves based upon outcomes we currently believe to be probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company retains, up to specified limits, certain risks related to general liability, workers’ compensation and auto liability. The estimated costs of existing and future claims under the retained loss program are accrued based upon historical trends as incidents occur, whether reported or unreported (although actual settlement of the claims may not be made until future periods) and may be subsequently revised based on developments relating to such claims. The Company

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

contracts with an independent third party to provide the Company an estimated liability based upon historical claims information. The actuarial study is a major consideration in establishing the reserve, along with management’s knowledge of changes in business practice and existing claims compared to current balances. Management’s judgment is inherently subjective as a number of factors are outside management’s knowledge and control. Additionally, historical information is not always an accurate indication of future events. The accruals and reserves we hold are based on estimates that involve a degree of judgment and are inherently variable and could be overestimated or insufficient. If actual claims exceed our estimates, our operating results could be materially affected, and our ability to take timely corrective actions to limit future costs may be limited.

Management does not believe that any pending claim, proceeding or litigation, regulatory action or investigation, either alone or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters could result in a charge that might be material to the results of an individual quarter or year.

NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid $128.0 million, or $0.26 per share, in cash dividends compared to $98.4 million, or $0.20 per share, during the same period in 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and during the same period in 2022, the Company did not repurchase shares on the open market. However, in 2023 the Company purchased shares on behalf of employees for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") discussed below.

The Company repurchases shares from employees for the payment of their taxes on restricted shares that have vested. The Company repurchased $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, and $11.8 million and $7.0 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Restricted Shares and Performance Share Unit Awards

As more fully discussed in Note 14 of the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, time-lapse restricted awards and restricted stock units (“restricted shares”) have been issued to officers and other management employees under the Company’s Employee Stock Incentive Plans. Beginning with the 2023 grant, restricted shares vest in 25 percent increments over four years from the date of the grant. Prior grants vest either over five years or over six years from the date of grant, depending on the year of the grant. Additionally, during 2023, certain executives were granted Performance Share Unit awards (PSUs) in addition to restricted shares. These awards will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period.

The Company issues new shares from its authorized but unissued share pool. As of June 30, 2023, approximately 5.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance.

The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s stock-based compensation programs recorded as expense:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

As more fully discussed in Note 14 of the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, shareholders approved the Rollins, Inc. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provides eligible employees with the option to purchase shares of Company common stock, at a discount, through payroll deductions. The most recent purchase period for the ESPP began on January 1, 2023, and ended on June 30, 2023. The Company recorded compensation expense associated with the purchase period of $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Compensation expense for the ESPP is included in cost of services provided and sales, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company reports both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to participating common stockholders by the weighted average number of participating common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to participating common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive equity.

A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s provision for income taxes is recorded on an interim basis based upon the Company’s estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year applied to “ordinary” income or loss, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $40.9 million and $34.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, and $69.1 million and $54.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company’s effective tax rate increased to 27.1% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 25.1% in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate increased to 25.8% compared to 23.7% in 2022. The rate was higher due to higher foreign income taxes compared to the prior year.

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred income tax assets of $0.7 million and $1.8 million included in other assets, and deferred income tax liabilities of $26.0 million and $24.2 million, respectively, included in other long-term accrued liabilities.

NOTE 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On June 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with LOR, Inc. (“LOR”). LOR is a member of the control group which owns more than 50% of our stock (“Control Group”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company must use reasonable best efforts to file and keep a registration statement on Form S-3 continuously effective and usable for the resale of the shares owned by the Control Group as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement. With certain exceptions, LOR has the right to request up to eight (8) offerings pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement will stay in effect until June 5, 2038. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, a registration statement on Form S-3 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 2023, and declared effective on June 22, 2023 (the "Form S-3").

Concurrently with the execution of the Registration Rights Agreement, LOR paid $1.5 million to the Company and will pay an additional $3.5 million to the Company upon the closing of the first requested offering pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will pay all costs, fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance or compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to a total of five (5) requested offerings, and thereafter, LOR will be responsible for all such expenses in connection with any subsequent offering. The Registration Rights Agreement also contains customary indemnification provisions. The Registration Rights Agreement was approved by the disinterested directors of our Board, which excluded any directors with a relationship with LOR or the Control Group.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4.11 to the Form S-3.

NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
