The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made pursuant to the Company's dividend policy and is subject to final determination each quarter by the Board of Directors in its discretion based on a number of factors that it deems relevant, including the Company's financial position, results of operations, available cash resources, cash requirements and alternative uses of cash that the Board of Directors may conclude would be in the best interest of the shareholders of the Company. Payment of dividends is also subject to relevant contractual limitations, including those in the Company's existing credit agreements.
