Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Amendment of By-Laws

On December 6, 2007, our Board of Directors amended and restated our By-Laws, effective as of that date.  Article IV of the By-Laws, which previously provided for the issuance of certificated shares, was amended to also provide for our issuance of uncertificated shares, and certain conforming and related revisions.  The ability to issue uncertificated shares allows us to become eligible to participate in the Direct Registration System that is currently administered by the The Depository Trust Company.  The Direct Registration System permits investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates, and the electronic transfer of securities to effect transactions without transferring physical certificates.

A copy of our Bylaws, as amended and restated on December 6, 2007 to include the amended Article IV, is attached to this report as Exhibit 3.2.
