Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws - Page 7


elected by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that Director’s election at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. For purposes of this Bylaw, a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds 50 percent of the number of votes cast with respect to that Director’s election. Votes cast shall include direction to withhold authority in each case, but exclude “abstentions” and “broker nonvotes” with respect to that director’s election.

The determination of whether an election is a “Contested Election” shall be made by the Secretary as of the close of the applicable notice of nomination period set forth in Article III Section 6 of the Bylaws or under applicable law based on whether notice of nomination was timely filed. If one or more director notices of nomination are withdrawn at least ten days prior to the date the Company first mails its notice of meeting and proxy statement in connection with such election of Directors, such that the number of candidates for election as Director no longer exceeds the number of Directors to be elected, the election shall not be considered a Contested
