to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to each series of preferred stock, subject to certain limitations
as discussed above. The purpose of authorizing the board of directors to determine these rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. 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 and
the dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of our common stock and, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a
third party to gain control of us.</span></p>
