power, subject to applicable law, to issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of the series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt. For instance, subject to applicable law, a series of
preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights which would enable the holder or holders of such series to block a proposed transaction. Our board of directors will make any determination to issue shares based on
its judgment as to the Company&#146;s and our stockholders&#146; best interests. Our board of directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock having terms which could discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a
majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then prevailing market price of our stock. </FONT></P> <P

securities in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment involves sales of securities in excess of the amount of securities to be purchased by the
underwriters in an offering, which creates a short position for the underwriters. Covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions. Stabilizing
transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of securities made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while the offering is in progress. Any of these activities may have the effect of
preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities being offered. They may also cause the price of the securities being offered to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these
transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time. </FONT></P> <P

and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding in which any such person was, is or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of holding such office or position. Article XIV of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
and Article VI of our bylaws provide for indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors. Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provides that, subject to Delaware law, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages awarded as a result of a breach of their fiduciary duty owed to the Company and its stockholders. This provision does not
eliminate our directors&#146; fiduciary duty and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. </FONT></P> <P
