 to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision in the Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by statute. Under Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the Certificate of Incorporation requires a greater vote, a proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon and a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote as a class. The Company’s By-Laws may be adopted, amended or repealed by majority vote of the capital stock of the Company outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, or by the Company’s board of directors without any vote of the stockholders. Such provisions could inhibit a change in control in situations that the board of directors determines are not adequate or in the best interests of shareholders, or that do not meet specified fair price criteria and procedural conditions. In some circumstances, some or all shareholders could be denied the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for the shares.

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.
