preferences, and other terms thereof.&#160;&#160;The ability of the Board of
Directors to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock, including, but not

discourage takeover attempts not first approved by the Board of Directors
(including a takeover which certain shareholders may deem to be in their best
interests).&#160;&#160;To the extent that these provisions discourage takeover
attempts, fluctuations in the market price of the Registrant's Common Stock,
