Item 5.03 – Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
 
On November 15, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted amendments to certain provisions of Article VI of the Company’s Bylaws (the “Bylaw Amendments”).  The purpose of the Bylaw Amendments was to make the Company’s common stock eligible for participation in a Direct Registration System (“DRS”) operated by a clearing agency (such as the one offered by the Depository Trust Company).  The DRS allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates.  The full text of the Bylaw Amendments, which were effective November 15, 2007, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.  The Company’s Bylaws are restated as of December 19, 2007, to conform all prior amendments, and are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
