-	add a process for a shareholder to take an action without holding a formal meeting (Section 1.7);

-	fix a range for the number directors on the Board of the Company (Section 2.1);

-	eliminate the requirement that the chairman of the Board be an ex officio member of each committee of the Board (Section 2.4);

-	provide for the establishment of an Emergency Action Committee of the Board if the Board or the Executive Committee cannot constitute a quorum because of a catastrophic event (Section 2.5); and

-	clarify the information requirements that must be provided by new Board nominees in advance of being formally proposed to be appointed to the Board (Section 2.6).
