The registrant has prepared this Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment") on Form 10-Q/A to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 30, 2017 (the "Form 10-Q") for the purpose of re-filing Exhibits 10.26, 10.27, 10.28 and 10.29 to the Form 10-Q. No revisions are being made to the Company's financial statements and, except as described below, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-Q, or modify or update those disclosures that may be affected by subsequent events, and no other changes are being made to any other disclosure contained in the Form 10-Q.

This Amendment is an exhibit-only filing in response to comments received from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding a request for confidential treatment of certain portions of Exhibits 10.26, 10.27, 10.28 and 10.29 originally filed with the Form 10-Q. This Amendment is being filed solely to re-file Exhibits 10.26, 10.27, 10.28 and 10.29. Except for the changes to Exhibits 10.26, 10.27, 10.28 and 10.29, this Amendment does not otherwise update any exhibits as originally filed or previously amended. This Amendment is being filed to replace Exhibits 10.26, 10.27, 10.28 and 10.29 to include certain portions of the Exhibit that had previously been omitted or "redacted" pursuant to a request for confidential treatment. This Amendment provides revised redacted versions of Exhibits 10.26, 10.27, 10.28 and 10.29.

In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith as exhibits to this Amendment.
