  	On October 22, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to amend and restate Article II, Section 6 ("Article II &#x2013; Section 6") and Article III, Section 2 ("Article III &#x2013; Section 2") of the Company's bylaws, effective immediately following the Board of Directors' vote.  Article II &#x2013; Section 6 and Article III &#x2013; Section 2, as amended, are collectively referred to hereunder as the "Amended Bylaws."<br><br>	The Amended Bylaws relate to the advance notice required to be given to the Company by stockholders seeking to bring business before a meeting of the Company's stockholders.  Under such bylaws as previously in effect, for business to be properly brought before a meeting by stockholders, stockholders were required to give advance written notice to the Company not later than (i) with respect to a matter to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders or a special meeting in lieu of annual meeting, 60 calendar days prior to the date set forth in the bylaws for the annual meeting and (ii) with respect to a matter to be brought before a special meeting of stockholders not in lieu of an annual meeting, the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders.<br><br>	The Amended Bylaws require that a stockholder of the Company seeking to make director nominations or bring other business before an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders must give advance written notice to the Company not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the prior year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if the annual meeting is to be held on a date which is not within 25 calendar days of such anniversary date, the stockholder's advance notice submission must be received by the Company not later than the 10th calendar day after the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting is mailed to stockholders or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is made, whichever first occurs.  In the case of a special meeting of the Company's stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, such advance notice must be received by the Company not later than the 10th calendar day after the date on which notice of the date of the special meeting is mailed to stockholders or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting is made, whichever first occurs.<br><br>	In addition, Article II-Section 6, as amended, includes a requirement that any stockholder seeking to propose business at an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders must provide, among other matters, a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and any other person or persons in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder.  Article III &#x2013; Section 2, as amended, includes a requirement that any stockholder seeking to nominate directors provide, among other matters, as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (C) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (D) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.<br><br>	The description of the provisions of the Amended Bylaws contained in this report are qualified in their entirety the reference to the full text of the Amended Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference. <br>

  Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
  On October 22, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to amend and restate Article II, Section 6 ("Article II – Section 6") and Article III, Section 2 ("Article III – Section 2") of the Company's bylaws, effective immediately following the Board of Directors' vote.  Article II – Section 6 and Article III – Section 2, as amended, are collectively referred to hereunder as the "Amended Bylaws."
  The Amended Bylaws relate to the advance notice required to be given to the Company by stockholders seeking to bring business before a meeting of the Company's stockholders.  Under such bylaws as previously in effect, for business to be properly brought before a meeting by stockholders, stockholders were required to give advance written notice to the Company not later than (i) with respect to a matter to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders or a special meeting in lieu of annual meeting, 60 calendar days prior to the date set forth in the bylaws for the annual meeting and (ii) with respect to a matter to be brought before a special meeting of stockholders not in lieu of an annual meeting, the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders.
  The Amended Bylaws require that a stockholder of the Company seeking to make director nominations or bring other business before an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders must give advance written notice to the Company not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the prior year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if the annual meeting is to be held on a date which is not within 25 calendar days of such anniversary date, the stockholder's advance notice submission must be received by the Company not later than the 10th calendar day after the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting is mailed to stockholders or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is made, whichever first occurs.  In the case of a special meeting of the Company's stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, such advance notice must be received by the Company not later than the 10th calendar day after the date on which notice of the date of the special meeting is mailed to stockholders or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting is made, whichever first occurs.
  In addition, Article II-Section 6, as amended, includes a requirement that any stockholder seeking to propose business at an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders must provide, among other matters, a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and any other person or persons in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder.  Article III – Section 2, as amended, includes a requirement that any stockholder seeking to nominate directors provide, among other matters, as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (C) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (D) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
  The description of the provisions of the Amended Bylaws contained in this report are qualified in their entirety the reference to the full text of the Amended Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
