On February 8, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Amended and Restated Bylaws"), effective immediately upon their adoption, to supersede and replace the existing bylaws of the Company. The modifications to the former bylaws were as a result of a review of such bylaws by the Board of Directors in an attempt to update the former bylaws and to clarify certain former bylaw provisions. Various provisions of the former bylaws were either revised, reworded, reordered, or new provisions were added. These amendments to the former bylaws include, among other items, provisions that: (i) Special meetings of the Company's stockholders can now only be called pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors which the Company would have if there were no vacancies. The previous bylaws provided that the Board of Directors, the President or stockholders holding at least ten percent of the outstanding shares of stock in the Corporation could call a special meeting of the stockholders. (ii) Special meetings of the Board of Directors can now only be called by the Chairman of the Board, or by a majority of the Board of Directors. The previous bylaws provided that the President or any two (2) board members could call a special meeting of the Board of Directors. (iii)The executive offices of Chief Technical Officer, Chief Information Officer, and General Counsel were removed, and the officer position of Treasurer was created. (iv) The Company's indemnification obligations and a procedure for claiming indemnification and receiving an advancement for defense expenses are now expressly stated in the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The previous bylaws did not contain such procedures. (v) The Board of Directors was expanded from nine directors to fifteen directors. (vi) The Amended and Restated Bylaws may now be amended by majority vote of the Board of Directors at any Board meeting, so long as notice of the proposed change was given no less than twenty-four hours prior to the meeting. The Amended and Restated Bylaws may also be amended by the affirmative vote of eighty percent of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders, so long as notice of the proposed change was given in the notice of the meeting. The previous bylaws provided that an amendment to the bylaws could be adopted by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting by the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the members of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that if it was a special meeting at which all of the members were not present, then the notice of such meeting must have stated that the amendment of the bylaws was one of the purposes of the meeting. The previous bylaws further provided that an amendment to the bylaws could be adopted by the holders of a majority of the total outstanding stock entitled to vote; provided that notice was given and that an affirmative vote of sixty-seven percent of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote was required for certain amendments.
