Our Dividend Policy

We intend to continue to pay a quarterly dividend to our common stockholders; however, any payment of future dividends is dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, the level of our capital expenditures, future business prospects and any other matters that our board of directors, in consultation with management, deems relevant. Covenants contained in our debt agreements could limit the payment of dividends. In addition, so long as any Series A Preferred are outstanding, certain limitations on our ability to declare dividends on our common stock exist.
