Delaware General Corporation Law Section203

As a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware, the Company is subject to Section203 of the DGCL
which restricts certain business combinations between the
Company and an interested stockholder or that stockholders
affiliates or associates for a period of three years following
the date on which the stockholder becomes an interested
stockholder. The restrictions do not apply if:

prior to an interested stockholder becoming such, the board of
directors of the Company approves either the business
combination or the transaction in which the stockholder becomes
an interested stockholder;

upon consummation of the transaction in which the stockholder
becomes an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the
Company at the time the transaction commenced, subject to
certain exceptions; or

on or after the date an interested stockholder becomes such,
the business combination is both approved by the board of
directors of the Company and authorized at an annual or special
meeting of the Companys stockholders (and not by written
consent) by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the
outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested
stockholder.

For purposes of Section203 of the DGCL, a business combination
includes mergers, asset sales or other transactions resulting
in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An interested
stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns (or within three years did own) 15% or more of
a corporations voting stock. The statute could have the effect
of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the
Companys or reducing the price that some investors might be
willing to pay in the future for the ClassA Common Stock.
