 the entire Board of Directors, or a maximum of two directors. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee for the Nominating & Governance Committee’s consideration may do so by submitting the individual’s name and qualifications to the Nominating & Governance Committee c/o Secretary, Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, P.O. Box 61558, King of Prussia, PA 19406. Recommendations must be received by the Nominating & Governance Committee no later than the date by which stockholder proposals for presentation at the next Annual Meeting must be received and should include the information required by our Amended and Restated Bylaws and any other information regarding the director nomination required by the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act. Please see the Questions and Answers section of this Proxy Statement. Recommended nominees will only be considered if there is a vacancy or if the Board of Directors decides to increase the number of directors.

The Nominating & Governance Committee identifies and evaluates committee-recommended Class B and D director nominees considering, among other factors, the following minimum qualifications: the individual’s integrity, experience, education, expertise, independence and any other factors that the Board of Directors and the Nominating & Governance Committee deem would enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors and our governance. The Nominating & Governance Committee seeks persons who have achieved prominence in their fields and who possess significant experience in areas of importance to the Company. Additionally, strong analytical skills, independence, energy, forthrightness and integrity are desired characteristics that the Nominating & Governance Committee seeks in potential candidates. We do not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. However, the Board of Directors believes that it is essential that its members represent diverse viewpoints, with a broad array of experiences, professions, skills, geographic representation and backgrounds, including diversity of gender and race that, when considered as a group, provide a sufficient mix of perspectives to allow the Board of Directors to best fulfill its responsibilities to the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Board has refreshed Board composition by replacing 80% of the non-management members of the Board within the last seven years. The Board has three female members, one of whom, Eileen McDonnell serves as lead director and one of whom is a member of an underrepresented minority group.

Quality and Compliance Committee:The current members of the Quality and Compliance Committee are Elliot J. Sussman, M.D.
