The Company&rsquo;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires that certain business combination transactions between the Company
and a &ldquo;Related Person&rdquo; (beneficial owner of 10% or more of the Company&rsquo;s voting stock) be approved by the affirmative
vote of holders of not less than 70% of the then outstanding shares of voting stock unless certain specified conditions are met.
If the conditions are met, then the transaction would require only such affirmative vote as is required by law, any national securities
exchange or otherwise. Business combinations subject to this provision include a merger or consolidation of the Company with, or
a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company&rsquo;s assets to, a Related Person. The &ldquo;fair price&rdquo;
provision could make it more difficult, and may therefore discourage, an attempt by another company or group, through the acquisition
of a substantial block of the Company&rsquo;s common stock, to acquire control of the Company with a view to imposing a merger,
consolidation or sale of the Company&rsquo;s assets which may not be in the best interest of all of the stockholders.</P>

stands for election each year; (ii) any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the company may be effected
only at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders and no action of the stockholders may be taken by written consent in lieu
of a meeting; (iii) special meetings of stockholders may only be called by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof; (iv)
vacant directorships may only be filled by the Board of Directors; and (v) any director may be removed from office only pursuant
to the affirmative vote of the holders of 70% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company and only for cause.</P>
