In the election of directors, each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. Cumulative voting is not permitted. For purposes of this Article&nbsp;VII, a &#147;contested election&#148; shall mean any election of directors with respect to which (i)&nbsp;the Corporation receives notice that a stockholder has nominated an individual for election as a director in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Bylaws and (ii)&nbsp;such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders, and, as a result of which, there are more nominees than directorships.</font></p>
