Item 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
Amended and Restated Charter
 
At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on July 10, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved each of the amendments (the “Charter Amendments”) to the Company’s certificate of incorporation described in Proposals 4A through 4I of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 11, 2014.  The Charter Amendments became effective on July 10, 2014 upon the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “A&R Charter”) of the Company, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Amended and Restated Bylaws
 
Following the Annual Meeting, on July 10, 2014, the Board  adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “A&R Bylaws”) of the Company, effective as of July 10, 2014.  The A&R Bylaws are intended primarily to conform the Company’s bylaws to the A&R Charter,  update the Company’s bylaws to reflect statutory and case law developments since the previous bylaws (the “Prior Bylaws”) were adopted and to include provisions commonly found in the bylaws of public Delaware corporations similar to the Company.   Set forth below is a summary of the material amendments to the provisions of the Prior Bylaws that are contained in the A&R Bylaws.

Advance Notice Provisions

The A&R Bylaws include advance notice procedures and requirements for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, including the nomination of directors.
 
Section 2.5 of the A&R Bylaws provides that, at an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business (other than nominations for directors) will be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting (i) pursuant to the Company’s proxy materials, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) by a stockholder of the Company who is a stockholder of record at the time requisite advance notice is given, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures and other requirements set forth in Section 2.5 of the A&R Bylaws.  Among other things, those procedures require the stockholder to deliver written notice to the Company’s secretary not less than ninety nor more than one hundred twenty days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders (the “Anniversary”), except that, if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty days prior to, or delayed by more than sixty days after, the Anniversary or if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the previous year, notice by the stockholder to be timely would have to be delivered not later than the later of (x) ten (10) days after the Corporation has publicly disclosed the date of the meeting in the manner provided in the A&R Bylaws, and (y) ninety days prior to the date of the annual meeting.  The requisite content of such notice is set forth in Section 2.5 of the A&R Bylaws.
 
Section 2.6 of the A&R Bylaws provides that only persons nominated in accordance with the applicable procedures will be eligible to be elected by the Company’s stockholders to serve as directors of the Company.  Section 2.6 of the A&R Bylaws further provides that nominations of persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting of stockholders may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board or (ii) by any stockholder of the Company who is a stockholder of record at the time the requisite notice is given, who is entitled to vote in the election of directors at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures and other requirements set forth in the A&R Bylaws.  Among other things, those procedures would require the stockholder to deliver requisite notice to the secretary of the Company within the timeframes described above, except that,  in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Company at least one hundred days prior to the Anniversary, a stockholder’s notice will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is delivered not later than the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Company.   The requisite content of such notice is set forth in Section 2.6 of the A&R Bylaws.
 
 
 

 
 
The Prior Bylaws did not contain advance notice procedures for the Company’s stockholders to nominate directors or propose other business to be brought before a meeting of stockholders.
 
Action by Written Consent

Consistent with the Charter Amendments approved at the Annual Meeting, Section 2.7 of the A&R Bylaws provides that stockholder action may only be taken at a duly called annual or special meeting and may not be taken by written consent.  The Prior Bylaws permitted stockholders to take any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, by written consent, without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote.
 
Vacancies on the Board
 
Section 3.4 of the A&R Bylaws clarifies the term of directors elected to fill vacancies on the Board.  Under that provision, a director elected to fill a vacancy will be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office, and a director elected to fill a position resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors will hold office until the next election of the class for which such director is chosen (or, if directors are not at that time divided into classes, until the next annual meeting of stockholders to be held in the first year following the year of his or her election), subject in each case to the election and qualification of his or her successor or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.  The Prior Bylaws provided that any directors chosen to fill a vacancy on the Board would hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and qualify.
 
Indemnification

The Prior Bylaws provided for indemnification of officers and directors to the extent authorized by the DGCL, and sets forth procedures relating to the Company’s  indemnification obligations, to the extent indemnification is sought pursuant to the Prior Bylaws.  Article 8 of the A&R Bylaws, among other things:
 
 
·
Clarifies the standards of conduct that must be met for a director, officer or other employee entitled to indemnification (a “Covered Person”) to be entitled to indemnification, and provides that the determination of whether the applicable standard has been met will be made by a majority of disinterested directors, a committee of disinterested directors, or if there are no such disinterested directors, by the stockholders;
 
 
·
Expressly authorizes the Company to obtain insurance against with respect to liabilities for which directors and officers may be entitled to indemnification;
 
 
·
Clarifies that the indemnification provisions set forth in the A&R Bylaws will not be exclusive of any other rights of a Covered Person with respect to actions taken by the Covered Person in his or her official capacity or otherwise; and
 
 
·
Includes technical amendments designed to clarify the procedures with respect to claims for indemnification and indemnification payments.
 
Bylaw Amendments

Article XI of the A&R Bylaws provides that the bylaws of the Company may be altered, amended or repealed, and new bylaws may be adopted, only in the manner provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation (which, in accordance with the Charter Amendments adopted at the Annual Meeting, provides that bylaws may only be amended, modified, repealed or adopted by the Board or by holders of 66 2/3% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors).  The Prior Bylaws provided that bylaws could be altered, amended, repealed or adopted by the stockholders or by the Board, when such power is conferred upon the Board of Directors by the certificate of incorporation, at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the Board or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the Board.
 
 
 

 
 
Technical and Procedural Amendments
 
The A&R Bylaws include several technical and procedural amendments intended to clarify provisions of the Prior Bylaws, reflect statutory and case law developments since the Prior Bylaws were adopted and to include additional provisions commonly found in the bylaws of public Delaware corporations similar to the Company.  The technical and procedural amendments include the following:
 
 
·
Amending and restating Article I of the Prior Bylaws in its entirety as set forth in Article I of the A&R Bylaws, among other things to distinguish between the Company’s registered office in Delaware and other offices;
 
 
·
Amending and restating Article II of the Prior Bylaws in its entirety as set forth in Article II of the A&R Bylaws, among other things to (i) designate the Company’s principal business office as the default location of the Company’s meetings of stockholders if no other location is designated and permit electronic or telephonic meetings of stockholders; (ii) provide that special meetings may only be called in the manner provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, for the purposes set forth in a notice delivered in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation; (iii) adding  quorum requirements in the event multiple classes of stock are outstanding; (iv) permitting the chairperson of any meeting at which a quorum is not present (in addition to the holders of a majority of the Company’s capital stock present at such meeting) to adjourn the meeting; (v) expressly providing that directors shall be elected by a plurality (in lieu of existing provisions referring to provisions of the DGCL); (vi) clarifying notice requirements and procedures for fixing the record date for annual and special meetings in a manner consistent with the DGCL; and (vii) expressly providing for proxy voting, the appointment of an inspector of elections and authority of the Board to establish rules of conduct for any meeting of stockholders;
 
 
·
Amending and restating Articles III and IV of the Prior Bylaws in their entirety as set forth in Articles III and IV of the A&R Bylaws to provide updated descriptions of the general powers of the Board, the number and tenure of directors, procedural requirements for board meetings and action by written consent of the Board and the ability to appoint committees of the Board, in each case, in a manner consistent with the DGCL;
 
 
·
Amending and restating Article V of the Prior Bylaws as set forth in Article V of the A&R Bylaws to further specify the respective roles of various officers of the Company;
 
 
·
Amending and restating Article VI of the Prior Bylaws as set forth in Article VI of the A&R Bylaws to specify the requirements for stock certificates representing multiple classes of the capital stock of the Company and expressly providing for the appointment of a transfer agent;
 
 
·
Amending and restating Article VII of the Prior Bylaws as set forth in Article VII of the A&R Bylaws to permit electronic transmission of notices to stockholders, to the extent stockholders consent to such electronic transmission and to provide that attendance at any meeting will constitute waiver of notice of such meeting, unless the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to, and objects at the beginning of such meeting, to the transaction of any business because such meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and
 
 
·
Amending and restating Article VII of the Prior Bylaws as set forth in Article IX of the A&R Bylaws to provide updated provisions relating to dividends, checks, stock in other corporations, the Company’s corporate seal, the Board’s ability to rely on books and records of the Company, and the severability of unenforceable, illegal or invalid provisions.

1.       Common Stock .

a.       Voting Rights .  Except as otherwise provided by law, each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote in any matter which is submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation, provided, however, that except as otherwise required by law, holders of the Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including a certificate of designations relating to any series of the Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of the Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either voting separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including a certificate of designations relating to any series of the Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

b.       Dividends .  Subject to the express terms of the Preferred Stock outstanding from time to time, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends or distributions (payable in cash, other property or capital stock of the Corporation) when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from time to time out of any source at the time lawfully available for the payment of dividends, and all such dividends shall be shared equally by the holders of Common Stock on a per share basis.

The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, limitations, designations, title and number of shares of each series of Preferred Stock and each such series of Preferred Stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series of Preferred Stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof pursuant to the authority hereby expressly vested in it.

In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status of which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. Except as provided in the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors creating any series of Preferred Stock or as otherwise provided herein, the shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election and removal of directors and for all other purposes.

ARTICLE V

Board of Directors
 
A.            Powers of the Board of Directors .  The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors.

B.            Number of Directors .  The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15) directors.  The exact number of directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the vote of a majority of the directors in office at the time of adoption of such resolution.

Beginning in 2015, at each annual meeting of stockholders, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term.  If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes by the Board of Directors so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as is reasonably possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class.  In no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director, even though such decrease may result in an inequality of the classes until the expiration of such term.  A director shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement or removal from office. Directors may be removed only for cause by the vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2 / 3 %) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.

ARTICLE VI

Stockholder Action

A.            Election of Directors .  Elections of Directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”) shall so provide.

D.            Special Meetings .  Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by (i) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, or if no Chief Executive Officer shall then be serving, the President of the Corporation or (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the Board of Directors.

4.            Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Continuation of Rights .  The rights and authority conferred in this ARTICLE IX shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may otherwise have or hereafter acquire.  Neither the amendment nor repeal of this ARTICLE IX, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any modification of law, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this ARTICLE IX in respect of any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such Covered Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, have reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful.  The indemnification provided for under this Article VIII shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation.

Section 8.3 .                       Board Determinations .  Any indemnification hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of a Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because such Covered Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.1. Such determination shall be made with respect to a Covered Person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination: (a) by a majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum; (b) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum; or (c) if there are no such disinterested directors, by the stockholders.

Section 8.4 .                       Advancement of Expenses .  Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or in this Article VIII.  Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Covered Persons may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

Section 8.5 .                       Nonexclusivity of Rights .  The rights and authority conferred in this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right that any Covered Person may otherwise have or hereafter acquire, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.  Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article VIII, nor the adoption of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any modification of law, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VIII in respect of any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.

Section 8.7 .                       Other Indemnification .  The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same or lesser scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of Covered Persons and to such extent and to such effect as the Board of Directors shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by the DGCL.
