Amended and Restated Director Compensation Method Plan

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 CYTYC CORPORATION 
  
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
METHOD PLAN 
 (as amended and restated November 18, 2005) 
  

	1.	Purpose. Cytyc Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby adopts this Director Compensation Method Plan (the “DCM Plan”) to promote the
long-term growth and financial success of the Company by attracting and retaining non-employee directors of outstanding ability and promoting a greater identity of interest between the Company’s non-employee directors and its stockholders.

  

	2.	Administration. 

  

	 	2.1	The DCM Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). 

  

	 	2.2	The Compensation Committee shall have the authority (i) to exercise all of the powers granted to it under the DCM Plan, (ii) to construe, interpret and implement the DCM
Plan and all relevant documents, (iii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to the DCM Plan, and (iv) to make any determination necessary or advisable in administering the DCM Plan. 

  

	 	2.3	The determination of the Compensation Committee on all matters relating to the DCM Plan, or any document executed pursuant to the DCM Plan, shall be conclusive.

  

	 	2.4	No member of the Compensation Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the DCM Plan. 

  

	3.	Eligibility. Only non-employee directors of the Company or any affiliate of the Company (“Eligible Directors”) shall participate in the DCM Plan.

  

	4.	Common Shares Subject to the DCM Plan. 

  

	 	4.1	Shares. For purposes of the DCM Plan, “Shares” shall mean shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company and any other stock into which such common stock
shall thereafter be changed by reason of any merger, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, split-up, combination of shares or similar event as set forth in and in accordance with this Section 4. 

  

	 	4.2	 Shares Available for Awards. Subject to Section 4.3 (relating to adjustments upon changes in capitalization), as of any date, the total number of Shares

  

 1 

	 	 
issuable under the DCM Plan shall be issued from the shares authorized for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Omnibus Stock Plan, including any
successor plan. 

  

	 	4.3	Adjustments. Adjustments to the Shares shall be made in accordance with Section 17.4 of the Company’s 2004 Omnibus Stock Plan, including the applicable provision of any
successor plan. 

  

	5.	Payment of Retainer, Meeting Fees and Service Awards. 

  

	 	5.1	In General. Commencing on the DCM Plan Effective Date (as herein defined), each Eligible Director may elect to receive payment of the annual retainer payable to such Director for
services as a member of the Board and its committees (the “Retainer”) in cash or in Shares (provided, however, that the Board may determine that a portion of the annual retainer will be paid as Shares). Fees payable to such Director for
meetings of the Board or committees of the Board (the “Meeting Fees”) shall be paid in cash, and any other service related grant of shares to a Director, approved by the Board from time to time, shall be paid in Shares (the “Service
Award” and together with the “Retainer” and “Meeting Fees” collectively, “Director Compensation”). Each Eligible Director may elect to receive Director Compensation currently in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.2 (the “Current Payment Election”) or to defer Director Compensation (the “Deferred Payment Election”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3. In the absence of an election, all payments to the
Eligible Directors of the Retainer and the Meeting Fees shall be paid currently in cash and the Service Award, if any, shall be paid currently in Shares. 

  

	 	5.2	Election to Receive the Retainer in Shares Without Deferral. An Eligible Director may elect, with respect to any calendar year, to receive payment of the Retainer due for such
calendar year in Shares (the “Current Payment Election”), valued at their Fair Market Value on the date on which such amounts become payable, by submitting an election form (“Current Payment Election Form”) to the Company at
least 30 days prior to the beginning of any calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an Eligible Director’s first year of eligibility for the DCM Plan, the Eligible Director may submit a Current Payment Election Form within 30 days of
first becoming eligible for the DCM Plan, but only with regard to that portion of the Retainer which is earned by the Eligible Director after the date of such Current Payment Election. Except as provided herein, the beginning of such calendar year
shall be the effective date of such election for payment of such Retainer. A Current Payment Election shall be effective only with respect to the Retainer that is earned and becomes payable after the effective date of the Current Payment Election.
Any election made under this Section 5.2 shall continue in full force and effect, including for subsequent calendar years, until revoked by written notice to the Company, until superseded by a new Current Payment Election Form, or unless no
longer permitted by law or regulations. 

  

 2 

	 	5.3	Elective Deferrals. An Eligible Director may elect to defer the payment of some or all of the Director Compensation (the “Deferred Amount”) by submitting an election form
(a “Deferred Payment Election Form”) to the Company at least 30 days prior to any calendar year in which such Director Compensation would otherwise be earned and paid to the Eligible Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an Eligible
Director’s first year of eligibility for the DCM Plan, the Eligible Director may submit a Deferred Payment Election Form within 30 days of first becoming eligible for the DCM Plan, but only with regard to that portion of the Director
Compensation which is earned by the Eligible Director after the date of Deferred Payment Election Form. Except as provided herein, any such election shall become effective for the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Deferred
Payment Election Form is submitted to the Company. An election under this Section 5.3 shall continue in effect, until the end of the calendar year in which it is revoked by written notice to the Company, until it is superseded by a new Deferred
Payment Election Form (which may not take effect until the start of the next calendar year), or immediately, if no longer permitted by law or regulation. 

  
 An Eligible Director may designate, in a Deferred Payment Election Form, one or more beneficiaries to receive any
distributions under the DCM Plan upon the death of the Eligible Director, and such designation may be changed at any time by submitting a new designation in writing to the Company, which shall become effective immediately upon receipt by the
Company. If no beneficiary is designated by an Eligible Director, distributions under the DCM Plan shall be made to the Eligible Director’s estate. 
  

	 	(a)	Cash Account: The Deferred Payment Election Form shall indicate: (i) any Retainer or Meeting Fees to be allocated to the “Cash Account” (the “Deferred
Amount”); and (ii) the date on which the commencement of payments of Deferred Amounts (the “Distribution Date”) should begin, as contemplated by Section 5.4(a). 

  

	 	(b)	 Share Account: The Deferred Payment Election Form shall indicate: any Retainer or Service Awards to be credited to an account (a “Share Account”) in units
which are equivalent in value to Shares (“Share Units”) which shall comprise the “Deferred Amount”. The Deferred Amount allocated to the Share Account shall be credited to the Share Account no later than the end of the month
during which the Eligible Director becomes entitled to payment of the Retainer and/or the Service Award. The number of Share Units credited to such Share Account shall be an amount equal to the sum of (a) the number of Shares granted under the
Service Award and (b) the result obtained by dividing (i) the amount of the deferred Retainer allocated to the Share Account by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the business day on which the Eligible Director becomes entitled
to payment of the Retainer. If Share Units exist in an Eligible Director’s Share Account on a dividend record date for the 

  

 3 

	 	 
Company’s Shares, the Share Account shall be credited, on the dividend payment date, with an additional number of Share Units equal to (x) the cash
dividend paid on one Share, times (y) the number of Share Units in the Share Account on the dividend record date, divided by (z) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date. 

  

	 	5.4	Distributions. 

  

	 	(a)	Distribution Date. Each Eligible Director shall designate, on a Deferred Payment Election Form, one of the following dates as a Distribution Date with respect to the Deferred Amount
credited to the Eligible Director’s Account thereafter: (i) the first day of a month following the Eligible Director’s separation from service with the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”)), (ii) a fixed date in the future at least one year after the date of such deferral as specified on a Deferred Payment Election Form (which date may not be changed with regard to amounts deferred in the
current or prior calendar years) or (iii) the earlier to occur of (i) or (ii). In the event of an Eligible Director’s death, all Deferred Amounts shall be paid no later than the end of the month following the occurrence of such event.

  

	 	(b)	Share Account Distribution Method. Distributions shall be made from the Eligible Director’s Share Account in a single payment in the form of whole Shares, and cash representing
any fractional interest in a Share. 

  

	 	(c)	 Distributions for Unforeseeable Emergency. For the purpose of the DCM Plan, an unforeseeable emergency, as defined by Section 409A of the Code, is a severe
financial hardship of the Eligible Director or his or her beneficiary resulting from an illness or accident of the Eligible Director or his or her beneficiary, the Eligible Director’s or his or her beneficiary’s spouse, or the Eligible
Director’s or his or her beneficiary’s dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code); loss of the Eligible Director’s or his or her beneficiary’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home
following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster); or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Eligible
Director or his or her beneficiary. For example, the imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Eligible Director’s or his or her beneficiary’s primary residence may constitute an unforeseeable emergency. In addition, the need to pay for
medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the costs of prescription drug medication, may constitute an unforeseeable emergency. Finally, the need to pay for the funeral expenses of a spouse or a dependent (as defined in
Section 152(a) of the Code) may also constitute an unforeseeable emergency. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4(c), the purchase of a home and the payment of college tuition are not 

  

 4 

	 	 
unforeseeable emergencies. Whether an Eligible Director or his or her beneficiary is faced with an unforeseeable emergency permitting a distribution under
this Section 5.4(c) is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case, but, in any case, a distribution on account of unforeseeable emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved
through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Eligible Director’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the
DCM Plan. Distributions because of an unforeseeable emergency are limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (including amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably
anticipated to result from the distribution). An Eligible Director who wishes to request a distribution by reason of an unforeseeable emergency may submit a written request to the Compensation Committee outlining the nature of such emergency and the
portion of any Deferred Amount (the “Early Distribution”) necessary to meet such emergency. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion and in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.4(c), shall determine the amount of any
such Early Distribution to be paid. 

  

	 	5.5	Interest on Cash Deferrals. Any payments due an Eligible Director and deferred into the Cash Account shall be credited as of
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, with an amount equal to the balance in said account at the end of the preceding quarter, multiplied by the percentage that represents 25% of the prime rate of
interest as reflected in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the preceding quarter. 

  

	6.	 Definition of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this DCM Plan, in respect to the valuation of Shares, if the Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded,
Fair Market Value” shall be determined as of the last business day for which prices or quotes are available and shall mean (a) the average (on that date) of the high and low prices of the Common Stock on the principal national securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or (b) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, if the Common Stock is not
then traded on a national securities exchange; or (c) the closing bid price (or average of bid prices) last quoted (on that date) by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities, if the Common Stock is not reported on the
Nasdaq Stock market. However, if the Common Stock is not publicly traded at the time a Share is to be credited to a Share Account under the DCM Plan, “Fair Market Value” shall be deemed to be the fair value of the Common Stock as
determined by the Compensation Committee after taking into consideration all factors which it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the Common Stock in private transactions negotiated at arm’s length;
provided, however, that the “Fair Market Value” of the stock issuable upon a Distribution Date pursuant to the DCM Plan within 120 days prior to the time the Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded shall 

  

 5 

	 	 
be deemed to be equal to the initial per share purchase price at which the Company’s Common Stock is offered to the public.

  

	7.	Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that all amounts deferred under this DCM Plan meet the requirements for nonqualified deferred compensation imposed by
Section 409A of Code and this DCM Plan shall be operated in accordance with such requirements. To the extent that the Compensation Committee determines that an Eligible Director would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain
deferred compensation arrangements pursuant to Section 409A of the Code as a result of any provision of this DCM Plan, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax.

  

	8.	Issuance of Certificates and Legal Compliance. 

  

	 	8.1	Restrictions on Transferability. All Shares delivered pursuant to an election made under Section 5 of the DCM Plan shall contain such restrictive legends and be subject to such
stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable or legally necessary under any laws, rules, regulations and other legal requirements including, without limitation, those of any stock exchange upon which the Shares are
then listed and any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law. 

  

	 	8.2	Compliance with Laws. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to issue any Shares under the DCM Plan if, in the opinion of the
Company’s General Counsel, the issuance and delivery of such Shares would constitute a violation by the Eligible Director or the Company of any applicable law or regulation of any governmental authority, including, without limitation, federal
and state securities laws and the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed. If and to the extent that the Compensation Committee determines that it would be illegal, impractical or inadvisable to issue
Shares under the DCM Plan, or to the extent Shares are unavailable, the Compensation Committee shall make any distribution of Shares otherwise required under the DCM Plan in cash. 

  

	 	8.3	 Listing, Registration and Legal Compliance. If the Compensation Committee shall at any time determine that any Consent (as hereinafter defined) is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the DCM Plan, the issuance of Shares or other rights hereunder or the taking of any other action hereunder (each such action being hereinafter referred to as a “Plan Action”), then such
Plan Action shall not be taken, in whole or in part, unless and until such Consent shall have been effected or obtained. The term “Consent” as used herein with respect to any Plan Action means (a) the listing, registration or
qualification of any Shares issued under the DCM Plan on any securities exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law, rule or regulation, (b) any and all consents, clearances and approvals in respect of a Plan Action by any
governmental or other regulatory bodies, or (c) any and all written agreements and representations by an Eligible 

  

 6 

	 	 
Director with respect to the disposition of Shares or with respect to any other matter which the Compensation Committee shall deem necessary or desirable in
order to comply with the terms of any such listing, registration or qualification or to obtain an exemption from the requirement that any such listing, qualification or registration be made. 

  

	 	8.4	Governing Law. The DCM Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. 

  

	 	8.5	Rights as a Shareholder. An Eligible Director shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable under the DCM Plan until such Shares have been
delivered to the Eligible Director. 

  

	9.	Tax Related Issues. 

  

	 	9.1	Withholding and Other Obligations. The Company shall require as a condition of delivery of any Shares or payment of any Deferred Amount to an Eligible Director that, if applicable,
such Director remit an amount sufficient to satisfy any foreign, federal, state, local and other governmental withholding tax requirements relating thereto and any indebtedness or other obligation of the Eligible Director to the Company.

  

	 	9.2	Unfunded DCM Plan. The DCM Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or separate fund. The DCM Plan shall not establish any fiduciary
relationship between the Company and any Eligible Director or other person and shall constitute a mere promise by the Company to make payments in the future. To the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of a pending deferral under the DCM
Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. 

  

	 	9.3	Rights Not Transferable or Subject to Alienation. No rights granted to an Eligible Director under this DCM Plan may be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred by the Eligible
Director other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution; all rights granted to an Eligible Director under this DCM Plan may be exercised during the Eligible Director’s lifetime only by such Eligible Director. An Eligible
Director’s rights to payments under the DCM Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by his creditors or his beneficiaries.

  

	10.	DCM Plan Amendments and Termination. The Board may suspend or terminate the DCM Plan at any time and may amend it at any time, in whole or in part, provided that no amendment
or termination may adversely affect any rights of any Eligible Director that have accrued prior to the date of such amendment or termination, and provided, further, that any amendment for which shareholder approval is required by law, shall not be
effective until such approval has been obtained. 

  

 7 

	11.	Right of Discharge Reserved. Nothing in the DCM Plan shall confer upon any Eligible Director the right to continue in the service of the Company or affect any right that the
Company may have to terminate the service of such Eligible Director. 

  

	12.	Other Payments or Awards. Nothing contained in the DCM Plan shall be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the Company, any affiliate, or the Board from making any award or
payment to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect, other than by use of the shares authorized under the Company’s 2004 Omnibus Stock Plan, including any successor plan.

  

	13.	Severability. If any portion of the DCM Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any portion not declared to be
invalid. Any portion so declared to be invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such portion to the fullest extent possible while remaining valid. 

  

	14.	Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, or by reputable overnight delivery service. Any notice shall be deemed given on the date of delivery or mailing, and if mailed, shall be addressed (a) to the Company, at 250 Campus Drive, Marlborough, MA 01752, Attention:
Compensation Committee (c/o Secretary), and (b) to an Eligible Director, at the Eligible Director’s principal residential address last furnished to the Company. Either party may, by notice, change the address to which notice to such party
is to be given. 

  

	15.	Section Headings. The Section headings contained herein are for convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the contents of said Sections.

  

	16.	Effective Date. This DCM Plan shall become effective immediately upon the approval of the DCM Plan by the Board, as reflected in a Board Resolution (the “DCM Plan
Effective Date”). 

  

	17.	Exculpation. It is understood that the obligations incurred by the Company with respect to this DCM Plan do not constitute personal obligations of the Directors, officers,
employees or shareholders and shall not create or involve any claim against, or personal liability on the part of, them or any of them. The Eligible Directors agree not to seek recourse against any such Directors, officers, employees or
shareholders, or any of them or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability under or with respect to the DCM Plan.

FIFTH: The Corporation is to have perpetual existence. 
  
 SIXTH: The private property of the stockholders shall not be subject to the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatever. 
  
 SEVENTH: Except as may otherwise be fixed by resolution of the Board of
Directors pursuant to the provisions of Article FOURTH hereof relating to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors as a class, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by or pursuant to the
By-Laws of the Corporation. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of Preferred Stock, shall be classified, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as
possible. The first class shall be initially elected for a term expiring at the next ensuing annual meeting, the second class shall be initially elected for a term expiring one year thereafter, and the third class shall be elected for a term
expiring two years thereafter, with each member of each class to hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation held after the initial classification and election of directors,
the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. 
  
 Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors shall
be given in the manner provided in the By-Laws of the Corporation. 
  
 Except as may otherwise be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of Article FOURTH hereof relating to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors as a class, newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or any other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining
directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new
directorship was created (subject to the requirements of this Article SEVENTH that all classes be as nearly equal in number as possible) or in which the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.
No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of an incumbent director. 

 Subject to any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors as a class, a director may be
removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of 80% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

  
 In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred
by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized: 
  
 1. To adopt, amend and repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation. Any ByLaws adopted by the directors under the powers conferred hereby may be amended or repealed by the directors or by the stockholders. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision in this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation to the contrary, Article 11, Sections 3 and 7 and Article 111, Sections 1, 2 and 3 of the ByLaws shall not be amended or repealed and no
provision inconsistent therewith shall be adopted without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a
single class. 
  
 2. To fix and determine, and to
vary the amount of, the working capital of the Corporation, and to determine the use or investment of any assets of the Corporation, to set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper
purpose and to abolish any such reserve or reserves. 
  
 3. To authorize the purchase or other acquisition of shares of stock of the Corporation or any of its bonds, debentures, notes, scrip, warrants or other securities or evidence of indebtedness. 
  
 4. Except as otherwise provided by law, to determine the
places within or without the State of Delaware, where any or all of the books of the Corporation shall be kept. 
  
 5. To authorize the sale, lease or other disposition of any part or parts of the properties of the Corporation and to cease to conduct the
business connected therewith or again to resume the same, as it may deem best. 
  
 6. To authorize the borrowing of money, the issuance of bonds, debentures and other obligations or evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation, secured or unsecured, and the inclusion of provisions as to
redeemability and convertibility into shares of stock of the Corporation or otherwise; and the mortgaging or pledging, as security for money borrowed or bonds, notes, debentures or other obligations issued by the Corporation, of any property of the
Corporation, real or personal, then owned or thereafter acquired by the Corporation. 
  
 7. To authorize the negotiation and execution on behalf of the Corporation of agreements with officers and other employees of the
corporation relating to the payment of severance compensation to such officers or employees. 
  
 In addition to the powers and authorities herein or by statute expressly conferred upon it, the Board of Directors may exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the
Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware, of this Certificate of Incorporation and of the By-Laws of the Corporation. 
  
 Subject to any limitation in the By-Laws, the members of the Board of Directors shall be entitled to reasonable fees,
salaries, or other compensation for their services, as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, and to reimbursement for their expenses as such members. Nothing herein contained shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation
or its subsidiaries or affiliates in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. 

 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the
contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend, adopt
any provision inconsistent with or repeal this Article SEVENTH. 
  
 EIGHTH: Both stockholders and directors shall have power, if the By-Laws so provide, to hold their meetings and to have one or more offices within or without the State of Delaware. 
  
 Except as may otherwise be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors pursuant to the
provisions of Article FOURTH hereof relating to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such
holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Chairman, if any,
on his own initiative, the President on his own initiative or by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to
alter, amend, adopt any provision inconsistent with or repeal this Article EIGHTH. 
  
 NINTH: Except as otherwise provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. 
  
 TENTH: 
  
 (a) A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, or any other applicable law, is amended to authorize corporation action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other applicable law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Section (a) by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any
right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification. 
  
 (b) (1) Each person who has been or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other applicable law, as the same exists or may 

 
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be
paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or
her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in paragraph (2) of this Section (b) with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such
person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred
in this Section (b) shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other applicable law, requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or
on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section (b) or otherwise. 
  
 (2) If a claim under paragraph (1) of this Section
(b) is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and,
if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, or any other applicable law, for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including
its Board of Directors, stockholders or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, stockholders or independent legal counsel) that the
claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
  
 (3) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance
of its final disposition conferred in this Section (b) shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, By-Law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. 
  
 (4) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense,
liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other applicable law. 

 (5) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of
Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the
provisions of this Section (b) with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation. 
  
 (6) Any repeal or modification of this Section (b) by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification. 
  
 ELEVENTH: In determining whether an “Acquisition Proposal” is in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders, the Board of
Directors may, to the extent permitted by law, consider all factors it deems relevant including, without limitation, the following: 
  
 (a) The consideration being offered in the Acquisition Proposal, not only in relation to the then current market price, but also in
relation to the then current value of the Corporation in a freely negotiated transaction and in relation to the Board of Directors’ estimate of the future value of the Corporation as an independent entity; and 
  
 (b) Such other factors the Board of Directors determines to
be relevant, including among others the social, legal and economic effects upon employees, suppliers, customers and the communities in which the Corporation is located, as well as on the long term business prospects of the Corporation. 

 
 “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal of any person
(i) for a tender offer, exchange offer or any other method of acquiring any equity securities of the Corporation with a view to acquiring control of the Corporation, (ii) to merge or consolidate the Corporation with another corporation, or
(iii) to purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Corporation. 
  
 This Article ELEVENTH shall not be interpreted to create any rights on behalf of third persons, such as employees, suppliers, or customers. 
  
 TWELFTH: The Corporation has elected to be governed by Section 203 of
the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
