Common
Stock


 


Voting.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share for the election of directors and on all other matters that require
stockholder approval, subject in all cases to the rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock, if any. Holders of our Common Stock
do not have cumulative voting rights.


 


Our
Bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of all of the shares of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares
of our capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall
be the act of the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of an applicable law, our Certificate
of Incorporation or our Bylaws a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the
decision of such question. Our Bylaws provide that, when a quorum is present at a meeting of stockholders at which directors are
to be elected, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares of capital stock present in person or represented
by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the
affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote upon the election
of directors shall be required to effect: (1) an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, (2) a merger or consolidation
of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
to another entity; or (3) the removal of a member of the Board of Directors.


 


Dividends
and Other Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock, our holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors from funds
legally available therefor. We do not currently pay cash dividends on our Common Stock, and we currently intend to retain any
future earnings for use in our business. Any future determination as to the declaration of dividends on our Common Stock will
be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, operating and financial condition, capital
requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors, including the applicable requirements of the DGCL, which
provides that dividends are payable only out of surplus or net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or
the preceding fiscal year. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock may be restricted by the provisions of credit agreements
or other financing documents that we may enter into or the terms of securities that we may issue from time to time.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


Merger,
Consolidation or Sale of Assets. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock, if any, holders of
our Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all cash, securities and other property received by us pro rata on the basis of
the number of shares of Common Stock held by each of them in any of the following situations: (1) our merger or consolidation
with or into another corporation in which we do not survive, (2) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets
to another entity or (3) a merger or consolidation in which we are the surviving entity but the Common Stock shall be exchanged
for stock, securities or property of another entity.


 


Distribution
on Dissolution. After payment or provision for all liabilities, and subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding
Preferred Stock, if any, in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our Common Stock are entitled
to receive a portion of the remaining funds to be distributed. Such funds shall be paid to the holders of our Common Stock pro
rata on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock held by each of them.


 


Other
Rights. The shares of our Common Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are not convertible. Holders of our
Common Stock do not have any preemptive rights enabling such holders to purchase, subscribe for or receive shares of any class
of our Common Stock or any other securities convertible into shares of any class of our Common Stock or any redemption rights.
Holders of Common Stock have no sinking fund rights.


 


All
outstanding shares of our Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. All shares of Common Stock have equal rights and preferences.


 


The
rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, those of the
holders of Preferred Stock, and will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of our Preferred Stock that we may issue
in the future. As of April 22, 2021, we had no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

Anti-Takeover Law and Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws


 


Delaware
Anti-Takeover Law. We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation
from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years
after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:


 


		●	prior
                                         to the date of such business combination, the board of directors of the corporation approved
                                         either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming
                                         an interested stockholder;

		●	upon
                                         consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
                                         stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the
                                         corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes
                                         of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors
                                         and also officers of the corporation and (b) shares issued under employee stock plans
                                         under which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether
                                         shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
		●	on
                                         or subsequent to the date of such business combination, the business combination is approved
                                         by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting
                                         of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3%
                                         of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.



 


Section
203 defines a business combination to include:


 


		●	any
                                         merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder or any
                                         merger or consolidation involving the corporation and another entity that is caused by
                                         the interested stockholder;
		●	any
                                         sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition involving the
                                         interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;
		●	subject
                                         to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation
                                         of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
		●	any
                                         transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate
                                         share of its stock owned by the interested stockholder; or
		●	any
                                         receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees,
                                         pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.



 


In
general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of the corporation and any affiliate or associate of such entity or person.


 


Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may delay or discourage
transactions involving an actual or potential change in our control or change in our management, including transactions in which
stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to
be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. Among other things,
our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws:


 


		●	permit
                                         our Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with such
                                         designations, powers, preferences and rights as our Board of Directors may authorize
                                         (including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in control);
		●	provide
                                         that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by the Board of Directors;
		●	provide
                                         that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required
                                         by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office,
                                         even if less than a quorum; and
		●	do
                                         not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority
                                         of the shares of capital stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect
                                         all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose).



 


The
amendment or repeal of any of these provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation would require approval of holders of not less
than 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote upon the election of directors. Our Bylaws may be amended
by an affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.
