      would benefit our stockholders. These provisions are intended to enhance the
      likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of
      directors and in the policies formulated by our board, and to discourage types
      of transactions that may involve our actual or threatened change of control.
      These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited
      proposal for a takeover that does not contemplate the acquisition of all of
      our
      outstanding shares, or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale
      of
      all or part of us. They may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover
      attempt of our company that a stockholder might consider in his or her best
      interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the
      market price for the shares held by our stockholders. The following summarizes
      these provisions. </font></div>
