CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 1.0 million shares of preferred stock with no par value. In October 2002, we designated Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in connection with the Rights Agreement described below. No preferred shares have been issued.

Rights Agreement

In September 2002, we authorized and declared a dividend of one Right (as defined in the Rights Agreement dated effective October 18, 2002 between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent, which governs the Rights) for each outstanding share of common stock as of November 5, 2012, subject to lender approval and consent, which was obtained. Effective as of the close of business on November 5, 2012, the rights agreement expired in accordance with its terms. As a result, the stock purchase rights under the rights agreement have been terminated and are no longer effective.
