Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Termination of a Material Defini


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 6, 2012, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Rights Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2011, between the Company and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as rights agent (the "Rights Agreement"). The Rights Agreement is described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2011, and such description is incorporated herein by reference.

Effective as of December 6, 2012, the Amendment accelerates the Final Expiration Date of the Company's Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock Purchase Rights (the "Rights") from the close of business on August 1, 2014 to the close of business on December 6, 2012. Accordingly, as of 5:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on December 6, 2012, the Rights expired and the Rights Agreement effectively terminated as of such time.

The summary description of the Amendment set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.



Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated into this Item 1.02 by this reference.



Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

As a result of the Amendment described in Item 1.01 above, the outstanding Rights expired as of 5:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on December 6, 2012.



Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Upon the expiration of the Rights as described in Item 3.03 above, the Company filed a certificate of elimination (the "Certificate of Elimination") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 7, 2012, which decreased the number of authorized shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock to zero, and as a result, under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall no longer be an authorized series of the Company. Prior to the filing, the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock would have been issuable, under certain circumstances, upon the exercise of the Rights. The Certificate of Elimination is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The summary description of the Certificate of Elimination set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Elimination, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
