Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws;
Change in Fiscal Year
|
|
|
On
January 15, 2009, our Board of Directors approved an
amendment to our By-laws effective as of that date. The changes to
our By-laws, which are reflected in our amended and restated By-laws
of the same date, provide for the appointment of our certain
officers and the establishment of those officers’ compensation
by our chief executive officer.
Prior
to these amendments, all of our officers had to be appointed by the Board
of Directors, and their compensation was set by the Board of
Directors. As a result of these amendments, the Board of
Directors retains the exclusive power to appoint our chief executive
officer, one or more presidents, our chief financial
officer, our chief accounting officer, our secretary, our
treasurer and one or more of our executive vice presidents and senior vice
presidents (collectively, “Senior Officers”) and any other officers
it determines appropriate, but our chief executive officer now has
the concurrent authority to appoint officers other than Senior
Officers. Further, as a result of these amendments, our
chief executive officer now also has the authority to set the compensation
for the officers appointed by our chief executive
officer.
