complete and is subject to and qualified by reference to the Company&#146;s Restated Articles of Incorporation (the &#147;Articles&#148;), the text of which is attached as Exhibit 3.2 to the Company&#146;s current report on Form <FONT

Company&#146;s Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors. The Articles do not permit cumulative voting in the election of directors. So
long as no other class of stock is outstanding, directors are elected by the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast; provided that, if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, then the directors are elected by a
plurality of the votes cast, up to the number of directors to be elected in such meeting. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted &#147;for&#148; a director must exceed the number of shares voted &#147;against&#148; that
director. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Dividend Rights </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All holders of

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Articles provide that, in addition to any vote required by law, any merger of the Company with or into any 10% shareholder or any exchange, lease, transfer
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company&#146;s property or assets with or to any 10% shareholder, or any adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation of the Company, shall require the affirmative vote of the holders
of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote. The foregoing requirement does not apply to transactions unanimously approved by the directors of the Company who were (i)&nbsp;directors before the 10% shareholder became a
10% shareholder or (ii)&nbsp;successor directors designated by a majority of the then continuing directors, in which case such transaction action shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all shares entitled to vote. </P>

requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote. Subject to any limits included in the Articles, the Bylaws provide that the Company&#146;s bylaws may be amended by the
Company&#146;s board of directors; provided that, after adoption of the initial Bylaws, the board of directors shall not make, alter, or repeal any bylaw fixing quorum for shareholder meetings, prescribing procedures for removing directors or
filling vacancies on the board of directors, fixing the number of directors or their classifications, qualifications or terms of office, but the board of directors may amend a bylaw to increase the number of directors. </P>

</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;302A.433 of the MBCA provides that special meetings of the Company&#146;s shareholders may be called by the Company&#146;s chief
executive officer, chief financial officer, two or more directors, or shareholders holding 10% or more of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote, except that a special meeting demanded by shareholders for the purpose of considering any
action to directly or indirectly facilitate or effect a business combination, including any action to change or otherwise affect the composition of the board of directors for that purpose, must be called by 25% or more of the voting power of all
shares entitled to vote. Section&nbsp;302A.441 of the MBCA also provides that action may be taken by shareholders without a meeting only by unanimous written consent. The Bylaws provide an advance written notice procedure with respect to shareholder
proposals of business and shareholder nominations of candidates for election as directors. Shareholders at an annual meeting are able to consider only the proposals and nominations specified in the notice of meeting or otherwise brought before the
meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a shareholder that has delivered timely written notice in proper form to the Company&#146;s secretary of the business to be brought before the meeting. </P>

the MBCA applies, with certain exceptions, to any acquisition of the Company&#146;s voting stock (from a person other than the Company and other than in connection with certain mergers and exchanges to which the Company is a party) resulting in the
acquiring person owning 20% or more of the Company&#146;s voting stock then outstanding. Section&nbsp;302A.671 requires approval of any such acquisitions by both (i)&nbsp;the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to
vote, including shares held by the acquiring person, and (ii)&nbsp;the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, excluding all interested shares. In general, shares acquired in the absence of such approval are
denied voting rights and are redeemable at their then fair market value by the Company within 30 days after the acquiring person has failed to give a timely information statement to the Company or the date the shareholders voted not to grant voting
rights to the acquiring person&#146;s shares. The control share provision applies to any corporation that has not expressly provided to the contrary in its articles or in its bylaws approved by its shareholders. The Company has not opted out of this
provision. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Business Combination Provision </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;302A.673 of the MBCA generally prohibits the Company or any of its subsidiaries from entering into any merger, share exchange, sale of material
assets or similar transaction with a 10% shareholder within four years following the date the person became a 10% shareholder, unless either the transaction or the person&#146;s acquisition of shares is approved prior to the person becoming a 10%
shareholder by a committee of all of the disinterested members of the Board. The business combination provision applies to any corporation that has not expressly provided to the contrary in its articles or its bylaws. The Company has not opted out
of this provision. </P>
