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

Effective December 10, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the provisions relating to special meetings of the Board contained in Section 3.9 of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws. As amended, Section 3.9 of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws provide that special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Company’s Chairman, President or Secretary or by a majority of the Directors. In addition, a majority of Directors must give the Chairman of the Board of Directors prior written notice before calling a special meeting of the Board or requesting that a special meeting be called. The Chairman of the Board of Directors also may call a special meeting of the Board on three hours’ notice given by electronic mail in the event of an emergency or other pressing issue that requires the consideration of the Board. Prior to this amendment, the Amended and Restated By-laws provided that the Company’s Chairman, President or Secretary or two or more Directors could call or request a special meeting of the Board, advance notice to the Chairman of the Board by Directors calling or requesting a special meeting was not required, and there were no provisions for calling a special meeting on short notice in the event of an emergency or other pressing issue that required the consideration of the Board.

The description of the amendment to the Amended and Restated By-laws contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated by reference into this item.
