 for nomination to our board of directors must submit such recommendation to our Corporate Secretary at our offices located at 377 Plantation Street, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605. Pursuant to our Bylaws, any recommendation must be received not less than 50 calendar days nor more than 90 calendar days before the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting.

We believe that our board of directors as a whole should encompass a range of talent, skill, and expertise enabling it to provide sound guidance with respect to our operations and interests. Our independent directors evaluate all candidates to our board of directors by reviewing their biographical information and qualifications. If the directors determine that a candidate is qualified to serve on our board of directors, such candidate is interviewed by at least one of the directors and our Chief Executive Officer. Other members of the board of directors also have an opportunity to interview qualified candidates. The directors then determine, based on the background information and the information obtained in the interviews, whether to recommend to board of directors that the candidate be nominated for approval by the stockholders to fill a directorship. With respect to an incumbent director whom the directors are considering as a potential nominee for re-election, the directors review and consider the incumbent director’s service during his or her term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, and overall contribution to board of directors. The manner in which the directors evaluate a potential nominee will not differ based on whether the candidate is recommended by our directors or stockholders.

We consider the following qualifications, among others, when making a determination as to whether a person should be nominated to our board of directors: the independence of the director nominee; the nominee’s character and integrity; financial literacy; level of education and business experience, including experience relating to biopharmaceutical companies; whether the nominee has sufficient time to devote to our board of directors; and the nominee’s commitment to represent the long-term interests of our stockholders. We review candidates in the context of the current composition of the board of directors and the evolving needs of our business. We believe that each of the current members of our board of directors (who are also our director nominees) has the requisite business, biopharmaceutical, financial or managerial experience to serve as a member of the board of directors, as described above. We also believe that each of the current members of our board of directors has other key attributes that are important to an effective board, including integrity, high ethical standards, sound judgment, analytical skills, and the commitment to devote significant time and energy to
