available for issuance under the Plan from 2.5% of authorized shares to 5.0% of authorized shares.
On August&nbsp;5, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Registrant&#146;s Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number authorized shares of common stock from
200,000,000 to 300,000,000. Both of these amendments were submitted to and approved by the
Registrant&#146;s stockholders at an Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October&nbsp;14, 2009, resulting
in a total increase of 10,000,000 in the number of shares available under the Plan. Accordingly,
the Registrant is filing this Registration Statement to register the additional 10,000,000 shares
of common stock available for issuance under the Plan.
