The payment of dividends in the future is subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, and various factors may prevent the Company from paying dividends or require the Company to reduce the dividends. Such factors include the Company's financial position, capital requirements and liquidity, the existence of a stock repurchase program, any loan agreement restrictions, state corporate law restrictions, results of operations and such other factors that the Company's Board of Directors may consider relevant.
