Article III. DIRECTORS

The business and offices of the Corporation shall be managed by the Board of Directors, which shall consist of not less than five nor more than thirty-six members as shall be established from time to time exclusively by resolution of the Whole Board.

After elected by the shareholders, directors shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified.

Subject to applicable law and the rights of the holders of any series of the Corporation’s preferred stock with respect to such series of preferred stock, all vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum, and any director so elected shall serve until the next annual meeting of the shareholders and until a successor shall have been elected and qualified.

As soon as practicable after the annual meeting of shareholders at which they were elected, the Board of Directors shall meet for the purpose of electing officers and the transaction of such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such times and at such places as the Board of Directors, by resolution, shall establish. When a regular meeting falls on a business holiday, it shall be held on the preceding or next following business day, as the Chief Executive Officer shall select.

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or at the written request of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office. Notice of special meetings shall be given to each director personally or in writing, or by telephone, not later than during the day immediately preceding the day of such meeting and shall include the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting. A special meeting may be held at any time without notice if all the directors are present or if those not present waive notice of the meeting in accordance with these By-Laws.

A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the acts of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the acts of the Board of Directors. One or more directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or in a meeting of a Committee of the Board of Directors by means of communication facilities enabling all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other. The directors present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough directors to leave less than a quorum.

Any action which may be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if a written consent or consents setting forth the action so taken is signed by all the directors and filed with the Corporate Secretary.

Directors shall be compensated for their services and reimbursed for their meeting attendance expenses, in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors may determine.

To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the applicable time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Article II, Section 2) to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or

indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed to the Corporation, (C) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation and (D) will abide by the requirements of Article III, Section 11.

(A) Election of directors at all meetings of the shareholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by ballot, and, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of the Corporation’s preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, a majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present shall elect directors. For purposes of this By-Law, a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election. Votes cast shall include votes to withhold authority in each case and exclude abstentions with respect to that director’s election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a contested election of directors, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. For purposes of this By-Law, a contested election shall mean any election of directors in which the number of candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, with the determination thereof being made by the Secretary of the Corporation as of the close of the applicable notice of nomination period set forth in Article II, Section 2 of these By-Laws, based on whether one or more notice(s) of nomination were timely filed in accordance with said Article II, Section 2; provided, however, that the determination that an election is a “contested election” shall be determinative only as to the timeliness of a notice of nomination and not otherwise as to its validity. If, prior to the time the Corporation mails its initial proxy statement in connection with such election of directors, one or more notices of nomination are withdrawn such that the number of candidates for election as director no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the election shall not be considered a contested election, but in all other cases, once an election is determined to be a contested election, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast.

(B) If a nominee for director who is an incumbent director is not elected and no successor has been elected at such meeting, the director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors in accordance with the agreement contemplated by clause (D) of Article III, Section 10 of these By-Laws. The Nominating and Governance Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors shall act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. The Nominating and Governance Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board of Directors in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. The director

who tenders his or her resignation shall not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to his or her resignation. If such incumbent director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such director shall continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors pursuant to this By-Law, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Article III, Section 3 of these By-Laws or may decrease the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of Article III, Section 3 of these By-Laws.

(C) Except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, or these By-Laws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the shareholders.
