ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
Amendment of By-laws.
The Registrant's Board of Directors in November 1995 amended the By-laws of
the Registrant to clarify certain provisions and to provide additional
procedural flexibility to the Board.
Section 1 of Article I and Section 1 of Article III were amended to
establish the procedures to be followed in order for business to be brought
before an annual meeting of stockholders. These provisions require, among other
things, that notice be given to the Registrant, a specified period of time
before an annual meeting, of the nomination by a stockholder of any person for
election to the Board of Directors and of any other business that a stockholder
desires to be brought before the meeting. Information about the stockholder, the
stockholder's nominees to the Board, if any, and the nature of any other
proposals by such stockholder must be included in the stockholder's notice.
In addition, Section 3 of Article III was amended to allow the Board to
postpone any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of stockholders and
to permit the officer presiding at any such meeting to direct the date and time
for the opening and closing of the polls at such meeting.
The foregoing description of the amendments is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the amended By-laws of the Registrant, a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
