Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

On June 22, 2006, the Board of Directors amended Section 2.05 of the Corporation’s Bylaws to reduce the vote required for the removal of directors for cause from “80%” to a “majority” of the votes which all holders of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation would be entitled to cast, voting together as a single class. The amendment is consistent with, and conforms the Bylaws to, a similar amendment to the Corporation’s Charter that was recommended by the Board and approved by stockholders at the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 27, 2006. The Board of Directors also amended Section 3.05 of the Corporation’s Bylaws to eliminate the “Stock Option Subcommittee”. The subcommittee’s functions will be performed by the Management Development and Compensation Committee. A copy of the Corporation’s Bylaws, as amended and restated effective as of June 22, 2006, is provided as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
