Upon stockholder approval of the Proposed Amendment,we intend to file the Proposed Amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State, which will be effective upon filing. The Board retains the discretion to abandon the Proposed Amendment and not implement it at any time before it becomes effective, even if it is approved by stockholders. The exculpation that would be afforded officers of the Company if the Proposed Amendment is approved would not be retroactive to any act or omission occurring prior to the date of Amendment. The description of the Proposed Amendment set forth in this Proxy Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Proposed Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation set forth in Appendix B.

| Our Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to limit the liability of officers as permitted by Delaware law. The proxy holders will vote all proxies received "FOR" approval of this proposal unless instructed otherwise. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions, broker non-votes and the failure to vote will have the effect of an "AGAINST" vote. |     |                                        |
