. Our bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. In order to submit a nomination for our board of directors, a stockholder must submit any information with respect to the nominee that we would be required to include in a proxy statement, as well as some other information. If a stockholder fails to follow the required procedures, the stockholder’s proposal or nominee will be ineligible and will not be voted on by our stockholders. Limitation of liability of directors and officers Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director or officer will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except as required by applicable law, as in effect from time to time. Currently, the Delaware General Corporation Law requires that liability be imposed for the following:

| • |     | a director’s or officer’s breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to our 
 company or our stockholders;                                                           |

| • |     | a director’s or officer’s act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or 
 a knowing violation of law;                                                                             |

| • |     | a director’s unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in 
 Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law;                                                    |

| • |     | a director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal 
 benefit; and                                                                                              |

| • |     | an officer in any action by or in the right of our company. |

As a result, neither we nor our stockholders have the right, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director or officer for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior, except in the situations described above. Our certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we will indemnify any director or officer of our company against all damages, claims, and liabilities arising out of the fact that the person is or was our director or officer, or served any other enterprise at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary. We will reimburse the expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a person indemnified by this provision when we receive an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by us. Amending this provision will not reduce our
