ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BY-LAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR

On May 23, 2012, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the restated Certificate of Incorporation adding a new Article XI designating the Delaware Court of Chancery as the sole and exclusive forum for certain legal actions. The amendment became effective on May 23, 2012, upon filing of the amended and restated Certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The amendment designates the Delaware Court of Chancery as the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The Amendment provides that it would not apply to (i) actions in which the Delaware Chancery Court concludes that an indispensable party is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware courts, and (ii) actions in which a federal court has assumed exclusive jurisdiction of a proceeding.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
