SEVENTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders.

 

(a)Management. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

20

 


 

(b)Number of Directors. Subject to the terms of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors shall consist of such number of members as fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.

 

(c)Election of Directors.

(A)The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock voting separately as a single class pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to an outstanding series of Preferred Stock) (collectively, the “Preferred Directors” and each, a “Preferred Director”), shall be elected by the stockholders generally entitled to vote at each annual meeting of the stockholders and shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until each of their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified, subject to their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

 

(B)The vote required for the election of directors by stockholders (other than the Preferred Directors) in an uncontested election shall be the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to a director nominee. In any contested election of directors (other than the Preferred Directors), the director nominees receiving the greatest number of the votes cast for their election, up to the number of directors to be elected in such election, shall be deemed elected. Any incumbent director (other than a Preferred Director) who fails to receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election shall submit an offer to resign as director no later than two (2) weeks after the certification by the Corporation of the voting results, which resignation shall specify that it shall be effective upon its acceptance, if any, by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this paragraph, (i) a “majority of the votes cast” shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director nominee, (ii) “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” shall not count as votes either “for” or “against” a director nominee, (iii) an “uncontested election” is one in which the number of individuals who have been nominated for election as a director is equal to, or less than, the number of directors to be elected in such election, and (iv) a “contested election” is one in which the number of individuals who have been nominated for election as a director exceed the number of directors to be elected as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders.

 

(d)Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled solely and exclusively by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. Any director so elected shall hold office until the expiration of the term of office of the director whom he or she has replaced and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, subject to such director’s earlier, death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

21

 


 

(e)In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the GCL, this Certificate of Incorporation, and any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

 

EIGHTH: No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the GCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If the GCL is amended hereafter to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the GCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article EIGHTH shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

 

NINTH: The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify its directors and officers, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person in his or her capacity as such unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer of the Corporation in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer of the Corporation to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article NINTH or otherwise.

 

The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this Article NINTH shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Any repeal or modification of this Article NINTH shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

TENTH: Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred

22

Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the special meeting of stockholders.

 

ELEVENTH: Except as may otherwise be provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article FOURTH hereof relating to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, no action that is required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be effected by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting of stockholders.

 

TWELFTH: Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the GCL, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware.
