 approval of 75% of the outstanding shares of our common stock to amend, alter, change or repeal certain of the provisions of the Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws that provide for the classification of our Board of Directors into three

 stock could block the future declassification of our Board, even if that action were deemed beneficial by the holders of more than a majority, but less than 75%, of our outstanding shares of common stock.                                             |
