<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;5.03. Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective December&nbsp;21, 2007, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors amended Sections&nbsp;5.1 and 5.2 of
the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares. The
Board of Directors adopted these amendments to comply with the New York Stock Exchange requirement
that securities listed on the NYSE be eligible for direct registration by January&nbsp;2008. The Direct
Registration System allows investors to have shares registered in their own names by book-entry.
Book-entry allows shares to be owned, recorded and transferred electronically on a system currently
administered by The Depository Trust Company without issuance of physical stock certificates, which
enables investors and broker-dealers to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated
with transferring physical certificates. Prior to this amendment, the Amended and Restated Bylaws
required shares to be represented by certificates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Board of Directors also amended Section&nbsp;1.9 of the Company&#146;s Amended and
Restated Bylaws to provide that (i)&nbsp;when a rule or policy of a national stock exchange or quotation
system, any provision of the Internal Revenue Code, or Rule&nbsp;16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, contains a higher voting standard than is otherwise required by the
Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or applicable law, that higher voting
standard is required for approval and (ii)&nbsp;in all other cases, unless otherwise required by
applicable law or the Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a majority of the votes
cast is sufficient to approve matters submitted by the Board of Directors. Prior to this amendment
the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provided that, except as otherwise provided in the
Delaware General Corporation Law or the Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, all
matters submitted to the shareholders for approval required a majority of the votes cast. Under
the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws (both prior to and after this amendment), when electing
directors a plurality of shareholder votes cast in favor of a director is sufficient to elect that
director.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Article&nbsp;1, Section&nbsp;1.9 of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">1.9 <U>Voting; Proxies</U> . Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, every
stockholder of record shall be entitled at every meeting of stockholders to one vote for each share
of capital stock standing in his name on the record of stockholders determined in accordance with
Section&nbsp;1.4 of the Bylaws. If the Certificate of Incorporation provides for more or less than one
vote for any share, on any matter, every reference in the Bylaws or the General Corporation Law to
a majority or other proportion of stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the
votes of such stock. The provisions of Sections&nbsp;212 and 217 of the General Corporation Law shall
apply in determining whether any shares of capital stock may be voted and the persons, if any,
entitled to vote such shares; but the Corporation shall be protected in treating the persons in
whose names shares of capital stock stand on the record of stockholders as owners thereof for all
purposes. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes
cast by holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting entitled to vote
on the election of directors at the meeting shall be sufficient to elect. In the case of a matter
submitted for action by the stockholders at the direction of the Board of Directors as to which a
stockholder approval requirement is applicable under a rule or policy of a national stock exchange
or quotation system or any provision of the Internal Revenue Code or under Rule&nbsp;16b-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;), in each case for which no higher
voting requirement is specified by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the vote
required for approval shall be the requisite vote specified in such rule or policy or Internal
Revenue Code provision or Rule&nbsp;16b-3, as the case may be (or the highest such requirement if more
than one is applicable). Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, unless otherwise required
by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, for approval or ratification
of any matter approved and recommended by the Board of Directors, including, without limitation,
the appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm (if submitted for a vote at the
direction of the Board of Directors), the vote required for approval or ratification shall be a
majority of the votes cast on the matter, voted for or against. In voting on any question on which
a vote by ballot is required by law or is demanded by any stockholder entitled to vote, the voting
shall be by ballot. Each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting or by his proxy, and
shall state the number of shares voted. On all other questions, the voting may be <U>viva</U>
<U>voce</U> . Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to
act for him by proxy. The validity and enforceability of any proxy shall be determined in
accordance with Section&nbsp;212 of the General Corporation Law.</DIV>

by a certificate, unless and until the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopts a resolution
permitting shares to be uncertificated. Notwithstanding the adoption of any such resolution
providing for uncertificated shares, every holder of capital stock of the Corporation theretofore
represented by certificates and, upon request, every holder of uncertificated shares, shall be
entitled to have a certificate for shares of capital stock of the Corporation signed by, or in the
name of the Corporation by, (a)&nbsp;the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, the
Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President, and (b)&nbsp;the Chief Financial Officer,
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, certifying the number of shares owned by such stockholder
in the Corporation. The signatures of the officers upon a certificate may be facsimiles, if the
certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or registrar other than the Corporation itself or
its employee. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile
signature has been placed upon any certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent
or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may, unless otherwise ordered by
the Board, be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer,
transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.</DIV>

certificate or by such person&#146;s duly authorized attorney appointed by a power of attorney duly
