stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination; (d) a description of any agreement,
arrangement or understanding with respect to the nomination or proposal and/or the voting of shares
of any class or series of stock of the company between or among the stockholder giving the notice,

affiliates or associates and/or any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing
(collectively, proponent persons); and (e) a description of any agreement, arrangement or
understanding (including without limitation any contract to purchase or sell, acquisition or grant
of any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell, swap or other instrument) the intent or effect

reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of
the Corporation.

the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of
the Corporation is increased effective at the annual meeting and there is no public announcement by
the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased
Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least eighty (80) days prior to the first anniversary

Corporations notice of meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any
committee thereof or (2) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall
be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at
the time the notice provided for in this Section 9 is delivered to the Secretary of the
Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who complies with
the notice procedures set forth in this Section 9. In the event the Corporation calls a special
meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of
Directors, any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a
person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the
Corporations notice of meeting, if the stockholders notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this
Section 9 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to
such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth
(90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following
the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the
nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the
public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time
period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholders notice as described above.
(C) General. (1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this Section 9 shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at
a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 9. Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the
meeting shall have the power and duty (a) to determine whether a nomination or any business
proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Section 9 (including whether the stockholder or beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made solicited (or is part of a group
which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such
stockholders nominee or proposal in compliance with such stockholders representation as required
by clause (A)(2)(c)(iv) of this Section 9) and (b) if any proposed nomination or business was not
made or proposed in compliance with this Section 9, to declare that such nomination shall be
disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 9, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified
representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders
of the Corporation to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be
disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in
respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 9, to
be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized
officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such
stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder
as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic
transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting
of stockholders.
(2) For purposes of this Section 9, public announcement shall mean disclosure in a press
release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news
service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 9; provided however, that any

to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 9 (including paragraphs (A)(1)(c)
and (B) hereof), and compliance with paragraphs (A)(1)(c) and (B) of this Section 9 shall be the
exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business. Nothing in this
Section 9 shall be deemed to affect any rights (a) of stockholders to request inclusion of
