only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes and shall not apply to any other Series of Securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Series of Securities specifically
incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements. 
 (b) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that initially may be authenticated
and delivered under this Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Initial Notes”) shall be limited to $750,000,000, subject to increase as set forth in Section 3.04 of this Second Supplemental Indenture. 

(c) The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be March 1, 2030. The Notes shall be payable and may be presented for payment, purchase,

for any interest payable on each such interest payment date shall be the immediately preceding February 15 and August 15, respectively; provided that upon the Stated Maturity of the Notes interest shall be payable on such Stated

or premium, if any, payable on the Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be the immediately preceding September 1. If any interest payment date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment
of principal, premium, if any, or interest shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on that payment for the period from and after that interest payment date,
Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. 
 (e) The Notes
shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depository or its nominee, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Section 3.03 of this Second
Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture. 

  
 9 

 (f) Payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on a Global Security
registered in the name of or held by the Depository or its nominee shall be made in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Security. If the Notes are no longer
represented by a Global Security, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on Physical Securities may, at the Company’s option, be made by (i) check mailed directly to Holders at their registered addresses or (ii) upon
request of any Holder of at least $5,000,000 principal amount of Notes, wire transfer to an account located in the United States of America maintained by the payee. 

Section 3.02. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons
and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Section 3.03. Book-entry Provisions for Global Securities. (a) Each Global Security
authenticated under the Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depository or nominee thereof or custodian therefor. Each such Global Security shall
constitute a single Security for all purposes of the Indenture. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.7 of the Base Indenture, any exchange of a
Global Security for other Notes may be made in whole or in part, and all Notes issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depository for such Global Security shall direct in writing to
the Trustee. 
 (c) Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global
Security or any portion thereof shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

 (d) Subject to the provisions of (e) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including
Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes. 

(e) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depository (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on
whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depository or such nominee,
as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company or the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the
Depository, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. 

  
 10 

 Section 3.04. Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, from time to time,
subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of the Indenture, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue pursuant to the Indenture additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) having

(i) may have a different issue date from the Notes; 

(ii) may have a different issue price from the Notes; and 

(iii) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date after issuance than is payable on the
Initial Notes (provided, however, a separate CUSIP number may be assigned for any Additional Notes with a different amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date after issuance than is payable on the Initial Notes, if required by
DTC); 
 provided that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional
Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Such Additional Notes may be consolidated and form a single series with, and shall have the same terms as to ranking, redemption, waivers, amendments or otherwise, as the Initial Notes and shall
vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Notes. 
 The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or
indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or
through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so purchased (other than Notes purchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to
the Trustee for cancellation, together with a Company Order to cancel such Notes, and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding under the Indenture upon their purchase.

time or from time to time in part, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the
Remaining Scheduled Payments of such Notes, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a
discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date for such Notes. The redemption price shall be determined by the Company and the Trustee shall have no duty
to verify any such determination made by the Company. 
 (c) On or after the Par Call Date, Notes shall be redeemable, as a whole at any time
or from time to time in part, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Notes to be redeemed, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the
redemption date for such Notes. 
 (d) Notwithstanding Section 4.01(b) and Section 4.01(c) above, installments of interest on the
Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date shall be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date in accordance with the
provisions of such Notes and the Indenture. 
 (e) On and after the redemption date for the Notes, interest shall cease to accrue on such
Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected pro
rata or by lot and, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Security, in accordance with the procedures of the Depository; provided, however, that in no event shall Notes of a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed
in part. 
 (f) Notice of any redemption shall be delivered at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each
Holder of the Notes to be redeemed (with a copy to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the redemption price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the
time the notice is given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as described above in Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c), as applicable, shall be set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and
payable on the redemption date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. A notice of redemption may, at the Company’s option and discretion, be subject to one or
more conditions precedent.

 Section 4.02. Purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.
(a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company shall have exercised its option to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Second Supplemental Indenture, each Holder of the Notes
shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to minimum denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any
Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control or event that may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall deliver a notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) to each Holder of the Notes, with
a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering (the “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase the Notes on the repurchase date
specified in the notice at the option of the Holders, which date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”) shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered. The Change of Control Notice
shall, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Company’s obligation to repurchase the Notes is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control
Payment Date. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

(i) accept for payment all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Notice; 

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent or Tender Agent appointed for such purpose an amount equal to the aggregate repurchase price
in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and 
 (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Company. 

(c) The Paying Agent or Tender Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for the Notes, and
the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.02, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer in connection
with a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in connection with such Change of Control Repurchase Event in the manner and at the times required and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such a Change of
Control Offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 

  
 13 

 (e) If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company pursuant to Section 4.02(d) above, purchases all of the Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described in
Section 4.02(b) above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the redemption
date (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Record Date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date). 
 (f) The
Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with any repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.02, the Company shall comply with those securities laws
and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.02 by virtue thereof; provided that the Company otherwise uses commercially reasonable efforts to permit Holders to exercise their rights and
to fulfill its obligations in the time and in the manner specified in this Section 4.02 to the extent permitted by such securities laws or regulations.

 (c)
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 and 7.2 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof shall have been received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and such notice references the Notes and the Indenture and states it is a “notice
of default”. 
 Section 5.04. Modification and Waiver. Article 9 of the Base Indenture, as

Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of November 15, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 25, 2020 (the “Second Supplemental
Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), in each case between the Company and the Trustee. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute as the “3.300% Senior
Notes due 2030”, initially limited to $750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.
Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and
the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

  
 A-4 

 (5) Redemption. The Company may redeem the Securities in whole at any time or from
time to time in part prior to their Stated Maturity, at its option, pursuant to the following terms: 
 (a) At any time
before December 1, 2029, the redemption price shall be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of such
Securities, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the
Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. The redemption price shall be determined by the Company and the Trustee shall have no duty to verify any such determination made by
the Company. 
 (b) At any time on or after December 1, 2029, the redemption price shall be equal to 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Securities that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior
to a redemption date shall be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and the Indenture. 

On and after the redemption date for the Securities, interest shall cease to accrue on such Securities or any portion thereof called for
redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the redemption date for the Securities, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay
the redemption price of the Securities to be redeemed on the redemption date, and (except if the redemption date shall be an interest payment date) accrued interest, if any. If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected pro rata or by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, in accordance with the procedures of the Depository; provided, however, that in no event shall Securities of a minimum
principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part. 
 Notice of any redemption shall be delivered at least 10 days but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed (with a copy to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the redemption price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the redemption price is to be determined if the
redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as set forth in the Indenture, shall be set forth in
an Officers’ Certificate of the 

  
 A-5 

 Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date. Notice of
redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Securities called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding,
the redemption date. 
 (6) Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to the
Securities, unless the Company shall have exercised its option pursuant to Section (5) hereof to redeem the Securities, each Holder of the Securities shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to minimum
denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid
interest on such Securities to, but excluding, the repurchase date. 
 Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event with
respect to the Securities or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control or event that may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall deliver a notice (the
“Change of Control Notice”) to each Holder of the Securities, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering (the
“Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase such Securities on the repurchase date specified in the notice at the option of the Holders, which date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”) shall be no earlier than 30
days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered. The Change of Control Notice shall, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Company’s obligation to repurchase the Securities
is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 On the Change of
Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
 (i) accept for payment all the Securities or portions of
the Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Notice; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent or Tender
Agent appointed for such purpose an amount equal to the aggregate repurchase price in respect of all the Securities or portions of the Securities properly tendered; and 

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted, together with an Officers’
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being repurchased by the Company. 
 If Holders of not less than 95% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company pursuant to
Section 4.02(d) of the Second Supplemental Indenture, 

  
 A-6 

 
purchases all of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not
more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Record Date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date). 

The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with any repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent the provisions of any such
securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section (6), the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section (6) by virtue thereof;
provided that the Company otherwise uses commercially reasonable efforts to permit Holders to exercise their rights and to fulfill its obligations in the time and in the manner specified in this Section (6) to the extent permitted by
such securities laws or regulations. 
 (7) Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons
in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company shall not be required (A) to transfer or exchange any Securities subject to redemption during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such electronic delivery or mailing or (B) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

(8) Defeasance. Subject to certain conditions as provided in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its
obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to their Stated Maturity. 

(9) Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes, except that interest (other
than Defaulted Interest) shall be paid to the Person that was the registered Holder on the relevant Record Date for such payment of interest. 

  
 A-7 

 (10) Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, (i) the Indenture or
the Securities may be amended or supplemented with respect to this Series with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities; and (ii) any existing default with respect to the Securities may be waived with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities. Without the consent of any Securityholder of this Series, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Second
Supplemental Indenture to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of Company obligations to Securityholders of this Series or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in
place of certificated Securities, to provide for guarantees with respect to, or security for, the Securities, or to comply with the TIA or to add additional covenants or additional rights or benefits to the Securityholders of this Series, or to make
any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder of this Series. 
 (11) Remedies. If an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities may, by notice in writing to the Company (and the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare all the
Securities to be due and payable immediately. Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require security or indemnity before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to the Securities. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders of
this Series notice of any Default or Event of Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines in good faith that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish an annual compliance certificate to
the Trustee. 
 (12) Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to the provisions of the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its
individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee. The Trustee shall initially be
Wilmington Trust, National Association. 
 (13) No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of
the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a
Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 

(14) Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the
Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 (15) Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Exhibit 4.5
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK 

The following description of the terms of the capital stock of U.S. Concrete, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us" and "our") is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”), our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), both of which are exhibits to our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as amended, the “DGCL”).

Our common stock (“Common Stock”) is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “USCR.”  We are currently authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Preferred Stock").  All of the Common Stock issued is fully paid and nonassessable.

Voting Rights

Each share of Common Stock (1) has one vote on all matters voted upon by the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock), (2) affords no cumulative voting or preemptive rights and (3) is not convertible, redeemable, assessable or entitled to the benefits of any sinking or repurchase fund.

Except as the Certificate may otherwise provide, at all meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present for the election of directors, each director shall be elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to the director; provided that if as of a date that is fourteen (14) days in advance of the date the Company files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.  Any director of the Company may be removed from office as a director, by vote or other action of the stockholders or otherwise, with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

Holders of Common Stock will be entitled to dividends in such amounts and at such times as our board of directors (the “Board”) in its discretion may declare out of funds legally available therefor, subject to the preferences that may apply to any shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at the time. 

Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the Certificate, we are authorized to issue “blank check” preferred stock, which may be issued from time to time in one or more series upon authorization by the Board.  The Board, without further approval of the stockholders, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, and any other rights, preferences and restrictions applicable to each series of the Preferred Stock.  The issuance of Preferred Stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the Common Stock and, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of us, discourage bids for the Common Stock at a premium or otherwise affect the market price of the Common Stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of the Certificate and the Bylaws

Some provisions of the Certificate and the Bylaws may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

1

These provisions include:

		
	•
	Board Vacancies

The Certificate authorizes the Board to fill vacant directorships or increase the size of the Board, which may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the Board by filling the vacancies created by this removal with its own nominees.

		
	•
	Cumulative Voting

The Certificate does not grant our stockholders the right to cumulative voting in the election of directors.  As a result, stockholders may not aggregate their votes for a single director.

		
	•
	Stockholder Action by Written Consent

The Certificate provides that any action taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by written consent.

		
	•
	Special Meeting of Stockholders

The Certificate provides that special meetings of our stockholders may only be called by the Chairman of the Board or by the Board pursuant to a resolution a majority of the Board approves by an affirmative vote.

		
	•
	Advance Notice Requirement

The Bylaws set forth advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder nomination of persons for election to the Board or other business to be considered at an annual or special meeting of stockholders.  These procedures provide that notice of such stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to the secretary of the Company prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken and must contain certain information specified in the Bylaws.  To be timely, notice in connection with an annual meeting must be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company).  To be timely, notice in connection with a special meeting, must be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting.  The advance notice requirement does not give the Board any power to approve or disapprove stockholder director nominations or proposals but may have the effect of precluding the consideration of certain business at a meeting if the proper notice procedures are not followed.

		
	•
	Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval.  These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of the Common Stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

		
	•
	Supermajority Voting

The Bylaws provide that the Board is expressly authorized to adopt, amend and repeal the Bylaws without obtaining stockholder approval.  The Bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66.7% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of the Board voting together as a single class.

2

Section 203 of Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute.  In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner.  Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder.  Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock.  The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of Common Stock.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Certificate provides that the Company’s directors shall not be personally liable to the Company or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director involving any act or omission of any such director; provided, however, the Certificate does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1) for any breach of such director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL  (which relates to certain unlawful dividend payments or stock purchases or redemptions), as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, supplemented or replaced, or (4) for a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  If the DGCL is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director, in addition to the limitation on personal liability described above, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.  Furthermore, any repeal or modification of the Certificate by its stockholders shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

The Bylaws provide that each person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, is indemnified and held harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person.

The rights conferred in the Bylaws includes the right to have the Company pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the indemnitee to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under the Bylaws or otherwise.
