TABLE OF CONTENTS

Description of Preferred Stock The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. No shares of preferred stock are outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The Company’s preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, without shareholder approval, when authorized by the board of directors. Subject to limitations prescribed by law, the board of directors is authorized to determine the voting powers (if any), designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, for each series of preferred stock that may be issued, and to fix the number of shares of each such series. We will include the specific terms of each series of the preferred stock being offered in a supplement to this prospectus. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a defined set of transactions between a Delaware corporation, such as us, and an interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is defined as a person who, together with any affiliates or associates of such person, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a Delaware corporation. This provision may prohibit business combinations between an interested stockholder and a corporation for a period of three years after the date the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. The term business combination is broadly defined to include mergers, consolidations, sales or other dispositions of assets having a total value in excess of 10% of the consolidated assets of the corporation, and some other transactions that would increase the interested stockholder’s proportionate share ownership in the corporation. This prohibition is effective unless:

| • | the business combination is approved by the corporation’s board of directors prior to the time the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder; |

| • | the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation, other than stock held by directors who are also officers or by qualified employee stock plans, in the transaction in which it becomes an interested stockholder; or |

| • | the business combination is approved by a majority of the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. |

In general, the prohibitions
