• requiring special stockholder meetings to be called only by our chairman of the board, our chief executive officer, a majority of the board or the holders of at least 10% of our outstanding stock entitled to vote at a special meeting; • requiring removal of directors by a supermajority stockholder vote; • prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors; and • Nevada control share laws that may limit voting rights in shares representing a controlling interest in us. These provisions could make an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer or proxy contest or removal of our incumbent directors more difficult. As a result, these provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders, which may limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. None. We are not a party to any legal proceedings which management believes will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Not applicable.
