Exhibit 3.1

Article II, Section 12. [Advance Notice of Stockholder Business.] At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business (including without limitation nominations of candidates for the Board of Directors) must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than 12 days nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 30 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth, as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) if such business is the nomination of a candidate or candidates for the Board of Directors, the name, address and qualifications for office of such candidate or candidates, (c) the name

and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (d) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (e) any material interest of the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in the By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. The Chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
