The Restated Bylaws also include other technical, conforming, clarifying and modernizing revisions.

•add a requirement that stockholder nominees for director complete a questionnaire and provide certain other information, representations and agreements that the Company may reasonably request;
•require any stockholder soliciting proxies from other stockholders to use a proxy card color other than white, with white proxy cards being reserved for exclusive use by the Board; and
•remove provisions that are no longer applicable in light of the Final Conversion Date (as defined in the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) having occurred.
