 but Unissued Shares

The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by The Nasdaq Stock Market and the provisions relating to interested stockholder transactions described below. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes. In particular, although our Board of Directors has no present intention to do so, it could issue shares of stock that could, depending on the terms, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other takeover attempt. Our Board may determine that the issuance of such shares of stock is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders. Such issuance could discourage a potential acquiror from making an unsolicited acquisition attempt through which such acquiror may be able to change the composition of the board, including a tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interest or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then-current market price.

No Cumulative Voting

Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would allow the holders of less than a majority of the stock to elect some directors.

No Action by Stockholders Without a Meeting

Our Certificate of Incorporation expressly provides that stockholders of the Company may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Moreover, Article FIFTH of our Certificate of Incorporation provides that notwithstanding any other provision of law, the charter or our By-laws, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the votes which all stockholders would be entitled to cast at any annual election of directors is required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with such Article. Eliminating the ability of stockholders to act by written consent and imposing a super-majority threshold to permit such right may delay or prevent a stockholder vote on an extraordinary transaction such as a merger or business combination.

Special Meetings of Shareholders

Our By-laws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the President or Board of Directors but is silent as to the ability of stockholders to request a meeting. The inability of stockholders to call a special meeting may delay or prevent a stockholder vote on an extraordinary transaction such as a merger or business combination.
