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.
