Item 1. Description of Registrant's Securities To Be Registered.

        As of the date of filing of this registration statement, our authorized capital stock consists of 1,800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 70,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. This registration statement registers the class of our shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On April 20, 2004, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for the initial public offering of shares of our common stock. In that registration statement we indicated our intent to apply for listing of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with our application to list the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, we intend to file an additional Form 8-A registration statement to register our common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We cannot assure you, however, that the Form S-1 registration statement will become effective, the initial public offering will be completed or that our shares will become listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

        The following summary of the terms of our common stock and certain provisions of our charter and bylaws is not intended to be complete and is qualified by reference to the provisions of our charter and bylaws and applicable law. Our charter and bylaws are incorporated by reference as exhibits to this registration statement.

        Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The common stock has no preemptive, redemption, conversion or subscription rights. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably lawful dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. Such dividends are, however, subject to preferences that may be applicable to the holders of any outstanding shares of our preferred stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our business, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all of our remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders. Any such pro rata distribution would be, however, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding shares of our preferred stock.

        The issuance of shares of our preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control. As of the date of filing of this registration statement, there are no shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding.
