revise certain additional procedures related to stockholder meetings to conform to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as recently amended (the “DGCL”);
revise the provision regarding special meetings of the Board;
update various provisions regarding directors, Board committees and officers; and
make various updates throughout to conform to current Delaware law (including recent amendments to the DGCL) and to make ministerial changes, clarifications, and other conforming revisions.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
