holders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications and restrictions granted to or imposed upon such preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, and liquidation preference, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. Thus, the board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying, 30

deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and reduce the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation, and could also decrease the market price of our common stock. Subscription Rights General We may issue subscription rights to our stockholders to purchase common stock or preferred stock. Subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other offered security and may or may not be transferable by the person purchasing or receiving the subscription rights. In connection with any subscription rights offering to our stockholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting arrangement with one or more underwriters pursuant to which such underwriters would purchase any offered Securities remaining unsubscribed after such subscription rights offering to the extent permissible under applicable law. In connection with a subscription rights offering to our stockholders, we would distribute certificates evidencing the subscription rights and a prospectus supplement to our stockholders on the record date that we set for receiving subscription rights in such subscription rights offering. The applicable prospectus supplement would describe the following terms of subscription rights in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

| • |     | the period of time the offering would remain open (which in no event would be less than fifteen business days); |

| • |     | the title of such subscription rights; |

| • |     | the exercise price for such subscription rights; |

| • |     | the ratio of the offering (which in no event would exceed one new share of common stock for each three rights held); |

| • |     | the number of such subscription rights issued to each stockholder; |

| • |     | the extent to which such subscription rights are transferable; |

| • |     | if applicable, a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the issuance or exercise of such subscription rights
