DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 20,000,000
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). Prior to the
consummation of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding 5,041,663 shares
of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock. Upon completion of the
Offering, the Company will have outstanding 7,541,663 shares of Common Stock and
no shares of Preferred Stock. As of February 10, 1997, there were 22 record
holders of Common Stock.
Common Stock
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share for the
election of directors and all other matters submitted for stockholder vote,
except matters submitted to the vote of another class or series of shares.
Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Therefore,
the holders of a majority of the shares voting for the election of directors can
elect all of the directors if they choose to do so. The holders of Common Stock
are entitled to dividends in such amounts and at such times, if any, as may be
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. The
Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate
paying any cash dividends on such stock in the foreseeable future. See "Dividend
Policy." Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders
of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for
distribution to stockholders after payments to creditors. The Common Stock is
not redeemable and has no preemptive or conversion rights.
The rights of the holders of Common Stock are subject to the rights of
the holders of any Preferred Stock which may, in the future, be issued. All
outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares of Common Stock to be
sold by the Company in this offering when issued will be, duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Upon or after the closing of the Offering, the Company will have the
authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more
series and to fix and determine the relative rights, preferences and limitations
of each class or series so authorized without any further vote or action by the
stockholders. The Board of Directors may issue Preferred Stock with voting and
conversion rights which could adversely affect the voting power of the holders
of Common Stock and have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in the
control of the Company. As of the date of this Prospectus, no shares of
Preferred Stock are outstanding. The Company has no current intention to issue
any shares of Preferred Stock.
