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

(a)   On October 26, 2006, the Board of Directors voted to amend portions of
Article II, Section 7 and Article III, Section 1 of the Company's Bylaws, both
effective immediately.

      As amended, the Bylaws provide that advance notice of director
nominations by shareholders (Article III, Section 1) and advance notice of
presentation of business by shareholders (Article II, Section 7) be given not
less than 120 days nor more than 150 days prior to the anniversary date of the
immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders, except that if the annual
meeting of shareholders is not held within 25 days before or after such
anniversary date, notice by a shareholder to be timely must be given not later
than the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which the notice of the
annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting
was made. Prior to the amendments, Article III, Section 1 of the Bylaws had
required that advance notice be given not less than 60 days nor more than 90
days prior to such anniversary date, and Article II, Section 7 had provided that
advance notice be given not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to
such anniversary date, except that if, in the case of both Bylaws, the annual
meeting of shareholders was not held within 30 days before or after such
anniversary date, notice by a shareholder to be timely had to have been given
not later than the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which notice of
the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual
meeting was made.

      In addition, on October 26, 2006 the Board of Directors voted to
eliminate, in its entirety and effective immediately, Article III, Section 12 of
the Bylaws, which had permitted, under limited circumstances, a one-year waiver
of the Board retirement age of 72.

      The Amendment to the Bylaws is filed herewith as Exhibit 3(ii) and
incorporated herein by reference.

amended effective October 26, 2006, as follows:

         (150) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding
         annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event
                                         --------  -------
         that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within
         twenty-five (25) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by
         the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later
         than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on
         which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such
         public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever
         first occurs."

         Article III, Section 1 of the Bylaws, "Number and Term of Office," is
amended by replacing the fifth paragraph thereof with the following paragraph:

         "To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed
         and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (a)
         in the case of an annual meeting, not less than one hundred twenty
         (120) days nor more than one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the
         anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of
         stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual
                       --------  -------
         meeting is called for a date that is not within twenty-five (25) days
         before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in
         order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of
         business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice
         of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure
         of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs; and
         (b) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called in the
         manner set forth in Article II, Section 2 hereof for the purpose of
         electing directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth
         (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the special
         meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special
         meeting was made, whichever first occurs."

         Article III, Section 12 of the Bylaws, "Limited One-Year Waiver of
Retirement Age," is amended by deleting the section in its entirety.
