Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date.

Currently, our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer or Affiliated Purchasers
We may, from time to time, purchase our outstanding shares of common stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, legal and regulatory considerations, contractual restrictions and other factors. Purchases, if any, will be funded through our available cash from operations. The amounts involved may be material.
