(ii)       Clarified certain procedural and administrative matters in connection with stockholder meetings and meetings of the Board of Directors and committees thereof.

 

(iii)      Amended Section 2.4 of the Bylaws to provide that vacancies and additional directorships shall only be filled by the Board of Directors.

 

(iv)      Added Section 7.7 to the Bylaws, which provides that the state and federal courts of Delaware shall be the exclusive forum for various stockholder lawsuits.

 

The foregoing summary of the amendment and restatement of the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
