Prior to the Amendments, Article II, Section 1 of the Bylaws provided as follows:

Section 1: Number and Term of Office. The number of directors who shall constitute the whole Board shall be seven (7). Each director shall be elected for a term of one year and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, except as otherwise provided herein or by law.

Whenever the authorized number of directors is increased between annual meetings of the stockholders, a majority of the directors then in office shall have the power to elect such new directors for the balance of a term and until their successors are elected and qualified. Any decrease in the authorized number of directors shall not become effective until the expiration of the term of the directors then in office unless, at the time of such decrease, there shall be vacancies on the board which are being eliminated by the decrease.”

The amended and restated Article II, Section 1 of the Bylaws provides as follows:

Section 1: Number and Term of Office. The number of directors who shall constitute the whole Board shall be three (3) or such number as otherwise set from time to time by the Board; in no event, however, shall the number of directors be greater than seven (7). Whenever the authorized number of directors is increased between annual meetings of the stockholders, any vacancies created by such increase may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining members of the Board, although less than a quorum. A director so elected shall be elected to hold office until the earlier of (i) the next annual meeting of stockholders, (ii) the due election and qualification of a successor or (iii) such director's death, resignation or removal.

If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting to another place, date, or time, without further notice or waiver thereof.”
