Voting Rights . Except as indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement or as otherwise from time to time required by law, the holders of preferred stock will have no voting rights other than those fixed by the board of directors pursuant to our certificate of incorporation.

**Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws**

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, which are summarized below, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in such stockholder’s best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for our common stock.

#### Number of directors; filling vacancies
Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors will consist of not less than three or more than fifteen members, the exact number of which will be fixed from time to time by our board of directors.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that, subject to the terms of any preferred stock, any vacancy on our board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors may only be filled by a majority of the board of directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring on the board of directors may only be filled by a majority of the board of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Our bylaws provide that in no case will a decrease in the number of directors have the effect of removing or shortening the term of any incumbent director.

The director vacancy provisions make it more difficult than it would be in the absence of such provisions for a stockholder to remove incumbent directors and gain control of our board of directors by filling vacancies created by such removal with such stockholder’s own nominees.

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of shares of preferred stock then outstanding, any director, or the entire board of directors, may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.
