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

On April 4, 2008, Delta’s Board of Directors amended Article II, Section 5(b), Article III, Section 1 and Article IV, Section 1 of Delta’s Bylaws.

Article II, Section 5(b) has been amended to make it clear that the voting standard for stockholder action on matters other than the election of directors is a majority of the voting power present at the meeting.  Article III, Section 1 has been amended to confirm that abstentions are not counted in stockholder voting in uncontested director elections.  These amendments do not change the voting standards for stockholder action and were made only to remove possible ambiguities in the provisions.

Article IV, Section 1 of the Bylaws has been amended to clarify that the Chief Executive Officer of Delta has the authority to appoint Senior Vice Presidents of Delta, along with other Vice Presidents, any Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and any Assistant Treasurers of Delta.  The Board of Directors retains exclusive authority to appoint a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, any Executive Vice Presidents and the Secretary of Delta and may also appoint other officers.

Delta’s Bylaws, as amended through April 4, 2008, are attached as Exhibit 3.1.  The amendments to Delta’s Bylaws were effective on April 4, 2008.
