Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective December 21, 2007, the registrant's Board of Directors amended Article 5, Section 1 of the Company's By-Laws to allow shares of the Company’s stock to be evidenced either by registration in book-entry form of the number of shares held by each stockholder, or by the issuance of stock certificates. Previously, the registrant's By-Laws required that all shares of stock be certificated.

The By-Law amendment enables the registrant to become eligible for future participation in a direct registration program, as required by NASDAQ, the exchange on which shares of the registrant's common stock are listed.

Although the registrant's stock would be eligible for direct registration based on this amendment to the By-Laws, the registrant has not elected at this time to begin participation in a direct registration system for its shares. Unless and until the registrant takes steps to implement participation in a direct registration system, its shares will continue to be evidenced by p hysical certificates as in the past.

A copy of this Amendment to the registrant's By-Laws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.6. The registrant plans to file a complete set of its By-Laws, as updated to include this Amendment, with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

5.1. STOCK. The Board of Directors may provide by resolution that some or all of any or all classes and series of the Corporation’s stock may be (i) certificated; or (ii) registered in the holder’s name in uncertificated, book-entry form, in accordance with a direct registration system either (A) approved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and by the principal securities exchange on which the stock of the Corporation may from time to time be traded, or (B) as may otherwise be authorized by Delaware Law, as any of the foregoing may be approved by the Board of Directors. With respect to certificated shares, the Corporation shall issue certificate(s) of stock, signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if he be elected, Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice-President, and the Chief Financial Officer or an Assistant Treasurer, or Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, to each stockholder certifying the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. Any of or all the signatures may be facsimiles.

If shares are uncertificated, a stockholder shall receive a physical certificate of stock only upon written request.
