Anti-takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law, our Charter and our By-Laws

Our Charter and By-Laws contain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our Board of Directors and that could make it more difficult to acquire control of our company by means of a tender offer, an open market purchase, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions may discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids and are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they also give our Board of Directors the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor or may consider in their best interests. A summary of these provisions is set forth below.

#### Election of Directors
Our Charter provides that each director will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and that each director will remain in office until his or her successor is duly elected or qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

If the number of directors is increased, any additional director elected to fill a newly elected directorship will hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. In no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.

#### Vacancies Filled by the Board
Our Charter provides that, subject to the terms of any one or more classes or series of preferred stock then outstanding, any vacancy in our Board of Directors whether from an increase in the size of the board or otherwise will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

#### Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders
Our Charter and By-Laws provide that special meetings of our stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only (1) by the chairman of our Board of Directors, (2) by our chief executive officer (or, in the
