Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.
On November 15, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved amendments to Article VII Sections 32, 33 and 34 of the
Company's Bylaws to permit the issuance of and transfer of uncertificated shares of its stock. These amendments were adopted to allow the
Company to be eligible to participate in the Direct Registration System which will be required of all companies listed on the New York Stock
Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market by January 1, 2008. The Direct Registration System enables investors to establish, either through the Company's transfer agent or through the investor's
broker-dealer, a book-entry position on the books of the Company and to electronically transfer their position through the Depository Trust
Company. The system also enables investors to have securities registered in their name without having a physical certificate issued. The description of the amendments to the Bylaws contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the amendments to
the Bylaws, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits. (d) Exhibits.
