Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered 

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to be voted on by the shareholders, except that, upon giving notice as required by law, shareholders may cumulate their votes in the election of directors. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of the Company's liabilities and liquidation preference, if any, of any then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to three million shares of undesignated Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and no rights to convert their Common Stock into any other securities, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. There is no Preferred Stock outstanding today. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common Stock are subject to, and may be materially adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock which the Company may designate and issue in the future.

Item 2. Exhibits
