Classified Board of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our Board be divided into three classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class serving a staggered three-year term. The classification system of electing directors may tend to discourage a third-party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us since the classification of our board of directors generally increases the difficulty of replacing a majority of directors.

Advance Notice Provisions. Stockholders seeking to nominate candidates to be elected as directors at an annual meeting or to bring business before an annual meeting must comply with an advance written procedure specified in our bylaws. Only persons who are nominated by or at the direction of our board, or by a stockholder who has given timely written notice to our Secretary before the meeting to elect directors as specified in our bylaws, will be eligible for election as directors.

At any stockholders’ meeting the business to be conducted is limited to business brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors, or a stockholder who has given timely written notice to our Secretary in compliance with the advance written procedure specified in our bylaws.

Special Stockholder Meetings. Under our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, only our Chairman of the Board, President, or Secretary (upon receipt of a written request of a majority of the directors then in office), may call special meetings of stockholders. Stockholders do not have the authority to call special meetings of stockholders.

No Stockholder Written Consents. Our certificate of incorporation denies the power of stockholders to act by consent without a meeting.

Additional Authorized Shares of Capital Stock. The additional shares of authorized common stock and preferred stock available for issuance under our certificate of incorporation could be issued at such times, under such circumstances and with such terms and conditions as to impede a change in control.

Supermajority Voting Provisions. Our certificate of incorporation provides that certain sections of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may not be amended or repealed by our stockholders without the affirmative vote of the holders of
