The Bylaw Amendment addresses four areas of stockholder litigation related to the internal affairs of the Company: derivative actions; actions asserting breaches of fiduciary duty; actions asserting claims related to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or the Bylaws; and actions asserting claims governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
