DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS</div>

We may issue rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or units described in this prospectus. We may offer rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, units or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The terms and conditions of the rights being offered, the rights agreement relating to the rights and the rights certificates representing the rights will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS</div>

We may issue units comprised of one or more shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or rights or any combination of those securities. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. Each series of units will be issued under a separate unit agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as unit agent. The terms and conditions of the units being offered, the unit agreement relating to the units and any unit certificates representing the units will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES</div>

We can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee maintain for this purpose as the “holders” of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as “indirect holders” of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders.

Book-Entry Holders

We may issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospect
