VI
(A) In
furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, the Board of
Directors is expressly authorized and empowered:
|
(i)
|
to
adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation, provided, however,
that the Bylaws may also be altered, amended or repealed by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3 percent of the
voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock (as defined in Article
VII below), voting together as a single class;
and
|
|
(ii)
|

and places, and under what conditions and regulations, the accounts and
books of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to inspection of
stockholders; and, except as so determined, or as expressly provided in
this Certificate of Incorporation or in any Preferred Stock Designation,
no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account, book or
document of the Corporation other than such rights as may be conferred by

|
(B) In
addition to any other considerations which the Board of Directors may lawfully
take into account, in determining whether to take or to refrain from taking
corporate action on any matter, including proposing any matter to the
stockholders of the Corporation, the Board of Directors may take into account
the long-term as well as short-term interests of the Corporation and its
stockholders (including the possibility that these interests may be best served
by the continued independence of the Corporation), and the interests of
creditors, customers, employees and other constituencies of the Corporation and
its subsidiaries, including the effect upon communities in which the Corporation
and its subsidiaries do business.
(C) The
Corporation may in its Bylaws confer powers upon the Board of Directors in
addition to the foregoing and in addition to the powers and authorities
expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors by law.
ARTICLE
VII
(A) Subject
to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect
additional directors under specific circumstances, the number of directors that
shall constitute the whole Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed
in the manner prescribed in the Bylaws of the Corporation and may be increased
or decreased from time to time in such a manner as may be prescribed by the
Bylaws.
(B) Subject
to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to fill any newly
created directorships or vacancies, any vacancy on the Board of Directors that
results from an increase in the number of directors or for any other reason may
be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a
quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
(C) Unless
and except to the extent that the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so require,
the election of directors of the Corporation need not be by written
ballot.
4
(D) Until
the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors, other than those who may
be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, shall be
divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, and
designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. At the
2009 annual meeting of stockholders, the Class II directors shall be elected for
one-year terms expiring at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders; at the 2010
annual meeting of stockholders, the Class III directors shall be elected for
one-year terms expiring at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders; and at the
2011 annual meeting of stockholders, the terms of the then-serving Class I,

each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, all directors shall be elected
for one-year terms expiring at the next annual meeting and shall serve until his
or her successor shall be elected and qualified. From and after the 2011 annual
meeting of stockholders, the directors shall no longer be divided into
classes. Each Class II director elected at the 2009 annual meeting of
stockholders shall serve for a one-year term as provided herein notwithstanding
that the amendments to effect the declassification of the Board of Directors as
provided herein may be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware after the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders at which such Class II
director was elected and such amendments were approved and adopted by the
stockholders.
(E)
Directors shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and
qualified. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the
directors whose terms expire at that meeting shall be elected by a plurality of
the votes of the shares of Voting Stock present in person or represented by
proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of
directors. Except as provided in subsection (D) above, the
directors shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual
meeting of stockholders following the year of their election, and until their
successors are duly elected and qualified, subject to death, resignation or
removal from office.
(F) Subject
to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any director may
be removed from office at any time, with or without cause and only by the
affirmative vote of the holders of more than 50 percent of the voting power
of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class. For the
purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, “Voting Stock” shall mean the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors.
ARTICLE
VIII
No
director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the
Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. Any amendment or repeal of this Article VIII by the stockholders shall
not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation
existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such
amendment or repeal.
ARTICLE
IX
Each
person who is or was or had agreed to become a director or officer of the
Corporation, or each person who is or was serving or who had agreed to serve at
the request of the Board of Directors or an officer of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise (including the heirs, executors,
administrators of estate of such person), shall be indemnified by the
Corporation in accordance with and pursuant to the Bylaws of the Corporation.
The Corporation may provide indemnification to employees and agents of the
Corporation to the extent provided by action of the Board of Directors pursuant
to the Bylaws. Without limiting the generality or the effect of the foregoing,
the Corporation may enter into one or more agreements with any person which
provide for indemnification greater or different than that provided in this
Article IX. Any amendment or repeal of this Article IX shall not adversely
affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or
omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

ARTICLE
X
In
furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law or in this
Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors (and any committee of the
Board of Directors) is expressly authorized, to the extent permitted by law, to
take such action or actions as the Board of Directors or such committee may
determine to be reasonably necessary or desirable to (A) encourage any
individual, limited partnership, general partnership, corporation or other firm
or entity (a “person”) to enter into negotiations with the Board of Directors
and management of the Corporation with respect to any transaction which may
result in a change in control of the Corporation which is proposed or initiated
by such person or (B) contest or oppose any such transaction which the Board of
Directors or such committee determines to be unfair, abusive or otherwise
undesirable with respect to the Corporation and its business, assets or
properties or the stockholders of the Corporation, including, without
limitation, the adoption of such plans or the issuance of such rights, options,
capital stock, notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness or other
securities of the Corporation, which rights, options, capital stock, notes,
debentures or other evidences of indebtedness and other securities (i) may be
exchangeable for or convertible into cash or other securities on such terms and
conditions as may be determined by the Board of Directors or such committee and
may provide for the treatment of any holder or class of holders thereof
designated by the Board of Directors or any such committee in respect of the
terms, conditions, provisions and rights of such securities which is different
from, and unequal to, the terms, conditions, provisions and rights applicable to
all other holders thereof.
ARTICLE
XI
The
Corporation shall have the right at any time and from time to time to amend,
alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of
Incorporation, or any Preferred Stock Designation, and any other provisions
authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be
added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed herein or by law;
and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon
stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this
Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are
granted subject to the right reserved in this Article XI; provided, however,
that any amendment or repeal of Article VIII or Article IX of this Certificate
of Incorporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing
hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment or
repeal; and provided further that no Preferred Stock Designation shall be
amended after the issuance of any shares of the series of Preferred Stock
created thereby, except in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock
Designation and the requirements of applicable law.
