Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

16.       Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

In March 2011, we established a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, or The Plan, to provide our common stockholders, as well as new investors, with a convenient and economical method to purchase our common stock and/or reinvest their distributions. The Plan authorizes up to 6,000,000 common shares to be issued.  Through June 30, 2011, we issued 21,562 shares and received net proceeds of approximately $716,000 under The Plan.
