The amendment provides the Board of Directors discretion to approve the nomination for re-election of a director who will have attained the age of seventy-five (75) years on or prior to the date of his or her re-election if the Board of Directors determines that such nomination is in the best interest of the Company.

The preceding summary of the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 3.3 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.
