 election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. With respect to nominations, notices of nominations must include the written consent of each nominee to be named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. In addition, stockholders submitting nominations must provide certain information pertinent to them as set forth in our Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which has been filed with the SEC. In making recommendations or nominations, stockholders must adhere to all of the required procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated Bylaws. Stockholders should also consider the minimum qualifications determined by our Board of Directors for Board members as noted elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

Director Resignation Policy The Board of Directors has adopted a policy to require any incumbent director nominee who does not receive the affirmative vote of the majority of shares voted in connection with his or her uncontested election to tender his or her resignation from the Board of Directors promptly following certification of the stockholder vote. The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the resignation and recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject it. The Governance and Nominating Committee, in making its recommendation, and the Board of Directors, in making its decision, may consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate, including the reasons (if any) given by shareholders as to why they withheld their votes, the qualifications of the tendering director, the composition of and number of independent directors remaining on the Board of Directors if the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of the tendering director, and his or her contributions to the Board of Directors and the Company. The Board of Directors, taking into account the Governance and Nominating Committee’s recommendation, will act on each tendered resignation within 90 days following the certification of the stockholder vote. If a director’s tendered resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors, then the Board of Directors may fill any resulting vacancy or may decrease the number of directors comprising the Board of Directors. If a director’s tendered resignation is rejected by the Board of Directors, the director will continue to serve for the remainder of his or her term and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier death, resignation or
