The Company is authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock, $.05 par value per share (the "Common Stock"). Holders of shares 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 Company's Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the distribution of assets, subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock (as defined below), if any. 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. As of March 24, 2006, there were 11,780,920 shares of Common Stock outstanding, held by approximately 345 holders of record.

In addition, the Company is authorized to issue 4,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.05 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"), in one or more series as determined by the Board of Directors. No shares of Preferred Stock are currently issued or outstanding. The Board of Directors may, without further action by the stockholders of the Company, issue a series of Preferred Stock and fix or alter from time to time the designation, powers, preferences and rights of such shares of Preferred Stock, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, exchange rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences, the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock issued by the Company in the future.
