Any future determination as to the payment of dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors, including the General Corporation Law of the State of California, which provides that dividen ds are only payable out of retained earnings or if certain minimum ratios of assets to liabilities are satisfied. The declaration of dividends on our common stock also may be restricted by the provisions of credit agreements that we may enter into from time to time. Holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets upon our dissolution or liquidation after payment or provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of our preferred stock then outstanding.
