The committee will review each such proposed nominee and, to the extent the proposed nominees satisfy objective criteria established by the committee, recommend to the full Board a candidate from among those it considered.

    a description of any arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and such nominee and any other persons (including their names), pursuant to which the nomination is made.
