Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
In connection with Mr. Worsleys resignation as President of the Company, and Mr. Smiths
appointment to such position, the Companys Board of Directors approved an amendment to Article IV,
Section 2 of the Companys Amended and Restated Bylaws (the Bylaws) to separate the positions of
President and Chief Executive Officer at the discretion of the Board of Directors, effective
October 1, 2008. Article IV, Section 2 of the Bylaws previously read as follows:
2. President. The President shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. Subject
to the provisions of these Bylaws and to the direction of the Board of Directors, he or she shall
have the responsibility for the general management and control of the business and affairs of the
Corporation and shall perform all duties and have all powers which are commonly incident to the
office of chief executive or which are delegated to him or her by the Board of Directors. He or she
shall have power to sign all stock certificates, contracts and other instruments of the Corporation
which are authorized and shall have general supervision and direction of all of the other officers,
employees and agents of the Corporation.
Article IV, Section 2 of the Bylaws has been amended to read as follows:
2. Chief Executive Officer; President.
(a) Subject to the provisions of these Bylaws and to the direction of the Board of Directors,
the
Chief Executive Officer shall have the responsibility for the general management and control of the
business and affairs of the Corporation and shall perform all duties and have all powers which are
commonly incident to the office of chief executive or which are delegated to him or her by the
Board of Directors. He or she shall have power to sign all stock certificates, contracts and other
instruments of the Corporation which are authorized and shall have general supervision and
direction of all of the other officers, employees and agents of the Corporation.
(b) Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the President shall be the Chief
Executive Officer. If an officer other than the President is designated Chief Executive Officer,
the President shall have such powers and shall perform such duties as shall be assigned to him by
the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors. In the absence, disability or refusal of
the Chief Executive Officer to act, or the vacancy of such office, the President shall be vested
with all the powers and shall perform all the duties of the Chief Executive Officer, unless or
until the Board of Directors shall otherwise determine.
In addition, references to the President were amended to the Chief Executive Officer or
the Chief Executive Officer and the President throughout the Bylaws, as the context required. A
copy of the Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference in its
entirety.
