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

On June 19, 2009, the Company’s Board approved amendments to its Bylaws that change the time frame for submitting stockholder proposals in the event the date of the annual meeting has been moved by more than 25 days from the last annual meeting anniversary date (as opposed to 30 days). In addition, the Board approved amendments to its Bylaws to conform to current practice to clarify that (i) 5:00 p.m. Central Time is the deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals and nominations for director and the requirement that stockholders represent their intention to solicit proxies, and (ii) in no event shall the public disclosure of an annual meeting of stockholders or a special meeting of stockholders, called for the purpose of electing directors commence a new time period for giving of a nominator’s notice as described above.

The text of the Bylaw amendments described above are included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
