 the number of votes cast “against” that nominee for such nominee to be elected. Each director nominee is required to deliver to the Company an irrevocable contingent resignation in advance of the distribution of the proxy materials for an annual meeting at which the director is expected to be nominated for election. If a director nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election, our Corporate Governance Committee is to recommend whether to accept or reject that director’s resignation and/or whether to take other action. The Board is, within 90 days of the certification of the election results and after consideration of the Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation, to make a determination whether to accept the resignation and/or take such other action as the Board determines appropriate. The Corporate Governance Committee, in making its recommendation, and the Board, in making its determination, are to evaluate the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and may consider any factors or other information they deem relevant. |

The Board evaluates the leadership structure of the Board, including whether to elect an independent Chairperson and/or appoint an independent Lead Director, on an annual basis. A Lead Director may also be appointed in other instances if the Board so determines, even if the Chairperson is also independent. Our current Chairman of the Board, Mr. Anthony J. Guzzi, is not an independent director and, accordingly, Mr. M. Kevin McEvoy, one of our independent directors, is our Lead Director. The Lead Director presides at meetings at which the Chairperson is not present, including executive sessions; participates in the formation of, and approves, the agenda for each Board meeting, whether or not the Chairperson is present; calls meetings of the independent directors; |
