form to the Secretary and must expressly request in the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination tohave such nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.13.
To be timely, a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination shall be delivered to the Secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the open of business on the 150th
day and not later than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the10

date that the Corporation first distributed its proxy statement to shareholders for the preceding

time period) for the giving of a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination as described above.
(c)
The maximum number of Shareholder Nominees nominated by all
Eligible Shareholders that will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect toan annual meeting of shareholders shall not exceed the greater of (i) two or (ii) 20% of thenumber of Equity Directors in office as of the last day on which a Notice of Proxy Access
Nomination may be delivered pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 1.13 (the “Final

number below 20% (such greater number, as it may be adjusted pursuant to thisSection 1.13(c), the “Permitted Number”). In the event that one or more vacancies on the
Board of Directors occurs with respect to any Equity Directors for any reason after the Final
Proxy Access Nomination Date but before the date of the annual meeting and the Board of
Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, thePermitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of Equity Directors in office as so
reduced. In addition, the Permitted Number shall be reduced by (i) the number of individuals
who will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials as Equity Director nominees
recommended by the Board of Directors pursuant to an agreement, arrangement or other
understanding with a shareholder or group of shareholders (other than any such agreement,
arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of stock from the
Corporation by such shareholder or group of shareholders) and (ii) the number of Equity
Directors in office as of the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date who were included in the
Corporation’s proxy materials as Shareholder Nominees for any of the two preceding annual
meetings of shareholders (including any persons counted as Shareholder Nominees pursuant to
the immediately succeeding sentence) and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting isbeing recommended by the Board of Directors. For purposes of determining when the Permitted
Number has been reached, any individual nominated by an Eligible Shareholder for inclusion in
the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.13 whose nomination issubsequently withdrawn or whom the Board of Directors decides to nominate for election to theBoard of Directors as an Equity Director shall be counted as one of the Shareholder Nominees.
Any Eligible Shareholder submitting more than one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in the
Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.13 shall rank such Shareholder
Nominees based on the order in which the Eligible Shareholder desires such Shareholder
Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials in the event that the
total number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to thisSection 1.13 exceeds the Permitted Number. In the event that the number of Shareholder
Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section 1.13 exceeds thePermitted Number, the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements ofthis Section 1.13 from each Eligible Shareholder will be selected for inclusion in the
Corporation’s proxy materials until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of theamount (largest to smallest) of shares of Common Stock each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as
Owned in its Notice of Proxy Access Nomination. If the Permitted Number is not reached after
the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 1.13 fromeach Eligible Shareholder has been selected, then the next highest ranking Shareholder
Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 1.13 from each Eligible Shareholder will
be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials, and this process will continue as
many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number isreached. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.13, theCorporation shall not be required to include any Shareholder Nominees in its proxy materials

number of shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) that

Period in order to meet the three percent Ownership requirement of the “Required Shares”
definition) and (ii) a breach of any obligation, agreement or representation under thisSection 1.13 by any member of such group shall be deemed a breach by the Eligible

any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on thenotional amount or value of shares of outstanding Common Stock, in any such case which
instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (A) reducing in any
manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder’s or its affiliates’ full right tovote or direct the voting of any such shares and/or (B) hedging, offsetting or altering to any
degree any gain or loss realized or realizable from maintaining the full economic ownership ofsuch shares by such shareholder or affiliate. A shareholder shall “Own” shares held in the nameof a nominee or other intermediary so long as the shareholder retains the right to instruct how
