5 Annual Meeting or, if elected, will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director. In no event will the proxies be voted for more than eight nominees. Majority Voting. Our directors are elected by majority vote of votes cast except in the event of a contested election, in which case a plurality standard will apply. Any director who stands for re-election in an uncontested election and who receives a greater number of “AGAINST” votes than “FOR” votes must tender their resignation to the Board. The N&CG Committee of the Board is required to promptly consider and recommend to our Board whether to accept the tendered resignation. Our Board will then act on the N&CG Committee’s recommendation and disclose its decision and rationale within 90 days from the certification of the election results. We would then promptly and publicly disclose the Board’s findings and final decision in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which includes our majority voting policy in the event of an uncontested election, may be obtained as described under “Corporate Governance—Availability of Corporate Governance Materials.” 7

The lack of an indicator for a particular item does not mean that the director does not possess that qualification, skill or experience, as we look to each director to be knowledgeable in these areas; rather, the indicator represents that the item is a core competency or material experience that contributed to the director’s nomination to the Board.
