contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in
the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks,
uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Item&nbsp;1A, &#147;Risk Factors,&#148; in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013 and any updates described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, all of which
are incorporated herein by reference, and may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future and any prospectus supplement related to a particular offering. The risks and uncertainties we
have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to
lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="rom695365_3"></A>FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS </B></P>

statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Those statements appear in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, particularly in the
sections entitled &#147;Prospectus Summary,&#148; &#147;Risk Factors,&#148; &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; and &#147;Business,&#148; and include statements regarding the intent,
belief or current expectations of the Company and management that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from
future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed in the section titled &#147;Risk Factors&#148; set forth above. </P>

forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances

offer fractional shares of preferred stock, rather than full shares of preferred stock. If we do elect to offer fractional shares of preferred stock, we will issue receipts for depositary shares and each of these depositary shares will represent a
fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred stock, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fractional interest in shares of preferred stock
underlying that depositary share, to all rights and preferences of the preferred stock underlying that depositary share. These rights may include dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights. </P>

depositary shares owned by those holders on the relevant record date. The relevant record date for depositary shares will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock. </P>

receipts that are entitled to receive the distribution, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this occurs, the depositary, with our approval, may adopt another method for the distribution, including
selling the property and distributing the net proceeds to the holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Liquidation preference </B></P>

of redemption to the record holders of the depositary receipts promptly upon receiving the notice from us and not fewer than 20 or more than 60 days, unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, prior to the date fixed for
redemption of the preferred stock. </P>

the voting rights pertaining to the amount of preferred stock underlying that holder&#146;s depositary shares. The record date for the depositary will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock. The depositary will, to the extent
practicable, vote the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares in accordance with these instructions. We will agree to take all action that may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to vote the preferred

transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates
represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to
certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed
or reallowed or paid to dealers. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the principal underwriters the respective amount of securities underwritten, the nature of the obligation of the underwriters to take the securities and the nature
of any material relationship between an underwriter and us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this

the terms of the transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:16pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Direct sales and sales through agents </B></P>

may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent by us. Unless otherwise

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, each series of offered securities will be a new issue and will have no
established trading market. We may elect to list any series of offered securities on an exchange. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time
without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any underwriter may also engage in
stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule&nbsp;104 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open
market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short
positions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally
sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it
would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Derivative
transactions and hedging </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We, the underwriters or other agents may engage in derivative transactions involving the securities. These
derivatives may consist of short sale transactions and other hedging activities. The underwriters or agents may acquire a long or short position in the securities, hold or resell securities acquired and purchase options or futures on the securities
and other derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions, we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters or
agents. The underwriters or agents may effect the derivative transactions through sales of the securities to the public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters
or agents may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from us or others (or, in the case of derivatives, securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle sales of the securities or close out any
related open borrowings of the securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Electronic auctions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may also make sales through the Internet or through other electronic means. Since we may from time to time elect to offer securities
directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, utilizing the Internet or other forms of electronic bidding or ordering systems for the pricing and allocation of such securities, you should pay particular
attention to the description of that system we will provide in a prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Such electronic system may allow bidders to
directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by us, and which may directly affect the price or other terms and conditions at which such securities are
sold. These bidding or ordering systems may present to each bidder, on a so-called &#147;real-time&#148; basis, relevant information to assist in making a bid, such as the clearing spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids
submitted, and whether a bidder&#146;s individual bids would be accepted, prorated or rejected. For example, in the case of a debt security, the clearing spread could be indicated as a number of &#147;basis points&#148; above an index treasury note.
Of course, many pricing methods can and may also be used. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon completion of such an electronic auction process, securities will be
allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other factors. The final offering price at which securities would be sold and the allocation of securities among bidders would be based in whole or in part on the results of the Internet or other
electronic bidding process or auction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General information </B></P>

Disclosure Package, the Offering Information or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and
investment advisors and made such investigation as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Units. The Investor also understands that there is no established public trading market for the
Warrants being offered in the Offering, and that the Company does not expect such a market to develop. In addition, the Company does not intend to apply for listing the Warrants on any securities exchange. Without an active market, the liquidity of
the Warrants will be limited. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>4.5</B> Since the date on which the Placement Agent first contacted the Investor about the Offering, the
Investor has not disclosed any information regarding the Offering to any third parties (other than its legal, accounting and other advisors that are subject to an obligation of confidentiality) and has not engaged in any transactions involving the
securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company&#146;s securities). The Investor covenants that it will not engage in any transactions involving the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) or
disclose any information about the Offering (other than to its legal, accounting and other advisors that are subject to an obligation of confidentiality) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.
The Investor agrees that it will not use any of the Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws. For purposes hereof, &#147;<B>Short
Sales</B>&#148; include, without limitation, all &#147;short sales&#148; as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, (but shall not be deemed to include the location and/or reservation borrowable shares of Common

making the representations herein, the Investor does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to resell or otherwise dispose of the Securities at any time, subject to compliance with
applicable federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations. The Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business and does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any
third party to acquire, sell, transfer, or distribute any of the Securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>5. Survival of Representations, Warranties and
