 the        
 entire Board, which could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal  
 or to take action, including the removal of directors;                                            |
| ● | controlling                                                                                       
 the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings;     |
| ● | the                                                                                               
 ability of the Board to amend the bylaws, which may allow the Board to take additional actions    
 to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the bylaws     
 to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and                                                |
| ● | advance                                                                                           
 notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to the Board         
 or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude           
 stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and          
 delay changes in the Board, and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting 
 a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise             
 attempting to obtain control of us.                                                               |
