Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

Common Stock

The Registrant is authorized to issue up to 36,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Registrant’s Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Registrant, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the distribution of assets. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights, subscription rights or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the Common Stock.

Article V of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant includes provisions relating to the required vote of stockholders to approve any transaction defined therein as a “Business Combination,” including a merger or consolidation, sale or disposition of assets or other transaction involving transfer of the business or change in control of the business of the Registrant, all as specifically described in Article V of the Certificate of Incorporation. Generally, the provisions of Article V of the Certificate of Incorporation will require approval of any Business Combination involving a direct or indirect 10% stockholder of the Registrant by holders of at least 85% of the Registrant’s Common Stock unless certain requirements are met (such as approval of the proposed Business Combination in advance of the 10% stockholder’s acquisition of such stake.)

The foregoing description of the Registrant’s Common Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Registrant, the Delaware General Corporation Law and other laws and regulations that may apply to the Registrant and its stockholders with respect to the Common Stock.
