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

On August 21, 2008, the Company, pursuant to resolutions of its Board of Directors, adopted amendments to the Company’s bylaws to clarify that stockholders may only submit stockholder proposals at an annual meeting by compliance with the Company’s “advance notice” bylaw provision (other than proposals under rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and to make immaterial modifications to the provisions relating to the conduct of business at stockholder and board meetings and the appointment of officers. On that same date, the Board authorized changing the Company’s registered agent in Delaware from CT Corporation to Corporation Service Company.

The amendments to the Bylaws became effective immediately upon adoption of such resolutions. The change in registered agent became effective on August 27, 2008. A copy of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1.
