 stockholders). Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, “owns” or if such person is an affiliate or associate of the corporation, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did “own” 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. Under certain circumstances, Section 203 makes it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Accordingly, Section 203 could have an anti-takeover effect with respect to certain transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance or certain transactions with “interested stockholders” who have not been approved by the board of directors prior to becoming and interested stockholder.

In a contested election, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of our outstanding shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election 23

of directors at such annual meeting. However, if a director is not re-elected by a majority of the votes cast, such director shall offer to tender his or
her resignation to our board of directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board of directors will make a recommendation to the board of directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action
should be taken. In this case, the board of directors (excluding the director tendering his or her resignation) will act on the Nominating and
