The amended Bylaws also reflect certain conforming changes in Sections 2.3 and 3.2.
The foregoing description of the amendments to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended and restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
