BOARD OF DIRECTORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 6.1 Number. The Board of Directors shall consist of such number of directors
as fixed, from time to time, pursuant to the Bylaws of the Corporation, the exact number to be
determined, from time to time, by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of such
directors then in office.
Section 6.2 Classification.
(a) The Board of Directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of
Preferred Stock provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V hereof (the
Preferred Stock Directors)) shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in
3
number as possible, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors shall
initially serve until the first annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this
Section 6.2; Class II directors shall initially serve until the second annual meeting of
stockholders following the effectiveness of this Section 6.2; and Class III directors shall
initially serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this
Section 6.2. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness
of this Section 6.2, directors of each class the term of which shall then expire shall be elected
to hold office for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective
successors in office. In case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of
directors (other than Preferred Stock Directors), the number of directors in each class shall be
apportioned as nearly equal as possible. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of
the Board of Directors already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III.
(b) Subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then
outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of
directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall, unless otherwise provided by law, be
filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even
if less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director so chosen shall hold office until
the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his
successor shall be elected and qualified. No decrease in the authorized number of directors shall
shorten the term of any incumbent director.
(c) Except for such additional directors, if any, as are elected by the holders of any series
of Preferred Stock as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V hereof, any
director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, (i) for cause
only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors, voting together as a single class or (ii) without cause only by the affirmative vote
of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the voting
power of all the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally
in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
(d) During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock have the right to
elect additional directors as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V hereof,
then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues:
(i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically
be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions
and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such directors successor shall have been
duly elected and qualified, or until such directors right to hold such office terminates pursuant
to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his earlier death, disqualification,
resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolution
or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock
having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the
provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the
holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation,
4
disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate and the
total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall be reduced accordingly.

Certificate of Incorporation, the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the
Corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors.
