WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Charter and the Company’s Second Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”):

at each election for directors to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), for so long as there are 1,050,000 Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding, the Holders are entitled to elect four (4) of the nine (9) directors that comprise the Board and to nominate and elect the Chairman of the Board;

ii.

those directors elected by the Holders may be removed, with or without cause, only by the Holders, thereby limiting the rights of the holders of the Common Stock;

for any action to be a valid act of the Board, six (6) of the nine (9) directors must approve any such action, effectively allowing those directors elected by the Holders a veto right for all Board actions;

iv.

any amendment to the By-laws must be approved by a majority vote of those directors elected by the Holders, voting as a separate class than the directors elected by the holders of the Common Stock; and

in the event of a vacancy of a director elected by the Holders, only the majority of outstanding directors elected by the Holders, or a sole remaining director elected by the Holders, is entitled to choose a successor or fill the newly created directorship (collectively, the “Control Features”);

WHEREAS, each of the Holders owns Class B Common Stock in the respective amounts set forth on Appendix A hereto;

WHEREAS, the Board included an advisory proposal recommending that the Board submit a proposal to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and Class B Common Stock relating to the exchange of the Class B Common Stock into Common Stock, thereby eliminating the dual class capital structure of the Company, in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Advisory Proposal”);

WHEREAS, representatives of the Board and an Ad Hoc Committee of the Board have had discussions with representatives of the Holders regarding the elimination of the dual class capital structure of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Holders and the Company wish to exchange 1,050,012 shares of Class B Common Stock for 1,050,012 shares of Common Stock plus $12,000,000 in cash in the aggregate (which, on a pro rata basis, equates to $11.43 per share of Class B Common Stock), in accordance with the terms hereof;

WHEREAS, the Company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, its quarterly reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 and its current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) after September 30, 2015, each as posted on the Company’s website, xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx, and all information incorporated into such annual report, quarterly reports and current reports are herein called the “Disclosure Record”;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is fair, advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to retire the Class B Common Stock and eliminate its Control Features in a value-for-value exchange;

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and each of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx. are entering into employment agreements with respect to each of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx’ and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx.’s continued employment with the Company, as described in such agreements; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined, based on its reasonable judgment and after receiving advice from its financial advisor and considering the Control Features inherent in the Class B Common Stock, that the value of the Common Stock and cash being delivered pursuant to this Agreement for the Class B Common Stock is approximately equal to the value of such Class B Common Stock.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance on the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Exchange and Closing.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable hereafter but in no event later than three (3) business days after the conditions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 are satisfied or waived (the “Closing Date”), (i) each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, surrender, transfer and deliver to the Company, together with all right, title and interest in and to, and all claims in respect of or arising or having arisen as a result of such Holder’s status as a holder of, the amount of the Class B Common Stock set forth opposite such Holder’s name on Appendix A and (ii) solely in exchange therefor and concurrently therewith, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holders in the aggregate 1,050,012 shares of Common Stock and $12,000,000 in cash, with the total number of shares of Common Stock and the aggregate amount of cash to be received by each Holder set forth opposite such Holder’s name on Appendix B. Prior to the Closing Date, each Holder may provide the Company with a written statement specifying the particular shares of such Holder’s Class B Common Stock exchanged for (i) Common Stock and (ii) cash.

Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Holders. Each Holder hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

Authorization; Validity; Enforcement. Such Holder has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder and the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on behalf of such Holder, and no further consent or authorization is required by such Holder, its board of directors (or any equivalent governing body), as applicable, or its stockholders or other equity owners or beneficiaries, as applicable. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Holder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of (A) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect, (B) general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (C) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

Title. Such Holder is the legal and beneficial owner of the Class B Common Stock set forth opposite its name on Appendix A hereto. Upon delivery to the Company of the Class B Common Stock, and upon such Holder’s receipt of the consideration in respect thereof as set forth herein, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement, good and valid title to the Class B Common Stock of such Holder will pass to the Company, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, options, charges and restrictions of any kind, other than those arising from acts of the Company or its Affiliates. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Affiliates” shall have meaning specified in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

No Brokers. No broker, investment banker, finder or other person has been retained by or authorized to act on behalf of such Holder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and no commission or other remuneration has been paid or given directly or indirectly by or on behalf of such Holder in connection therewith. Such Holder acquired the Class B Common Stock as principal in the ordinary course of its business for investment purposes only and not with a view to any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act and is acting as principal for its own account in connection with the exchange contemplated hereby.

No Registration. Such Holder acknowledges that the shares of Common Stock have not yet been, and will not upon issuance be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and that the offer and exchange of the Common Stock to it are being made in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Such Holder acknowledges that if it decides to offer, sell or otherwise transfer any of the Common Stock, such Common Stock may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred unless such Common Stock is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available, and that upon the original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, certificates representing the Common Stock shall bear a restrictive legend to this effect.

Accredited Investor; Acquisition for Own Account. Such Holder represents and warrants that (i) it is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and is acquiring the Common Stock for its own account and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the Common Stock in violation of U.S. federal or state securities laws and (ii) it has not purchased the Common Stock as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act).

Information. Such Holder has reviewed the Disclosure Record, has sufficient knowledge and expertise to make an investment decision with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and has received such information as it deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its officers, directors and Affiliates concerning the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities and all other matters relevant to its investment in the Common Stock and to obtain such additional information as such Holder deems necessary to verify the accuracy of the information furnished to such Holder and has asked such questions, received such answers and obtained such information as it deems necessary.

Ability to Protect Its Own Interests and Bear Economic Risks. Such Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Common Stock. Such Holder has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such Holder is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Common Stock, and has an adequate income independent of any income produced from an investment in the Common Stock and has sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of all of its investment in the Common Stock without economic hardship if such a loss should occur.

Accuracy of Holder Information. Such Holder represents and warrants that the information it has provided in writing to the Company as set forth in Appendix A is true, correct and complete, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.

Hold Period. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, such Holder shall not, and shall not allow any of its Affiliates to, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, except as provided hereunder, any Class B Common Stock to be exchanged by such Holder hereunder. Except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such Holder agrees that it shall not sell, pledge, hypothecate, dispose of, transfer or encumber (or offer to do anything of the foregoing with respect to) any of the Class B Common Stock between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date.

Transferees. Any transferee of the Common Stock or any interest therein, by its acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Sections 1(b)(iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of this Agreement. The Company shall not be required to register the transfer of any Common Stock to any person unless the Company receives from the proposed transferee a written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company in which such transferee makes the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 1(b)(iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of this Agreement and, if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that registration under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such transfer.

Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holders and agrees as follows:

Organization and Qualification. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as an entity in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has corporate or other organizational power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Record. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other entity to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to be so organized or qualified, have such power or authority or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business or results of operations of the Company and its respective subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

Authorization; Validity; Enforcement. This Company has the corporate power and authority to execute this Agreement and bind it thereto. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation and agreement of the Company, and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws generally affecting the rights of creditors and subject to general equity principles.

No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not and will not (i) violate or conflict with any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or (ii) result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could constitute such a breach, violation or default) under or pursuant to, or result in the loss of a material benefit under, or give any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any organizational document, agreement, contract, commitment, understanding or arrangement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the consummation of this Agreement contemplates amending the Company’s By-laws.

No Registration. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holders and their compliance with the agreements set forth herein, no registration under the Securities Act of the Common Stock is required for the offer and exchange of the Common Stock to the Holders in the manner contemplated herein. The Company has not offered any of its capital stock, or any other securities, for sale to, or solicited any offers to buy any of the foregoing from the Company, or otherwise approached or negotiated with any other person in respect thereof, in such a manner as to require registration under the Securities Act. No holder of any of the Company’s capital stock has any rescission rights.

No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates or any other person acting on the Company’s behalf, has directly or indirectly engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising with respect to the Common Stock nor have any of such persons made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration of the Common Stock under the Securities Act or cause this exchange of Common Stock to be integrated with any prior offering of securities of the Company for purposes of the Securities Act.

Validity of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock, when issued and delivered to the Holders, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Covenants and Agreements.

The Holders covenant and agree to furnish to the Company all information concerning themselves and their Affiliates that is required to be included in the listing application and to promptly provide such other assistance in the preparation of the listing application as may be reasonable requested by the Company from time to time.

Subject to receipt from the Holders of the information described in Section 2(a) above, the Company covenants and agrees that, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof but in any case prior to the Closing Date, the Company will have filed a listing application with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) to list the Common Stock on the NYSE.

Prior to the mailing of its definitive proxy statement for the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2016 Annual Meeting”), the Holders covenant and agree to nominate Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx. (collectively, the “Class B Nominees”) for election as directors at the 2016 Annual Meeting, with Xx. Xxxx as Chairman of the Board.

Prior to the mailing of its definitive proxy statement for the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders and 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, respectively, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall nominate Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Vice Chairman of the Company’s Board, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx., Vice Chairman of the Company’s Board, to stand for election as directors at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders and 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, respectively. If either of Messrs. Xxxxxx or Xxxxxx, Jr. decline to stand for election as directors at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders or 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, respectively, then the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall nominate Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, C.E.O. of the Company, to stand for election as director at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders or 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, respectively. The Company will recommend and solicit proxies for the election of Messrs.

The Company covenants and agrees that, as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, it will submit for a stockholder vote the proposed elimination of the Class B Common Stock (the “Proposal”) at the 2016 Annual Meeting. The Company will recommend and solicit proxies for the Proposal at the 2016 Annual Meeting in the same manner as for the other proposals recommended by the Board and submitted for a stockholder vote at the 2016 Annual Meeting.

The Company covenants and agrees that, pursuant to the Company’s By-laws, it will submit for a stockholder vote an amendment to Section 3.7 of the By-laws, eliminating the requirement that any action of the Board must be approved by six (6) of the nine (9) directors, at the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting (the “By-law Proposal”). The By-law Proposal will revise Section 3.7 of the By-laws such that an action of the Board must be approved by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board. The Company will recommend and solicit proxies for the By-law Proposal at the 2016 Annual Meeting in the same manner as for the other proposals recommended by the Board and submitted for a stockholder vote at the 2016 Annual Meeting.

The Company covenants and agrees that it will submit for stockholder vote at the 2016 Annual Meeting, subject to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement occurring, one or more proposals approving amendment(s) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix D. The parties agree, acknowledge and understand that approval of the Charter Amendment shall not be a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Each of the Holders covenants and agrees that it will (i) continue to have the right to vote all of the Class B Common Stock held as of the date hereof through the record date for the 2016 Annual Meeting and (ii) appear in person or by proxy at the 2016 Annual Meeting and vote all Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder at the 2016 Annual Meeting (A) in favor of the Proposal, (B) in favor of the By-law Proposal, (C) in favor of the Class B Nominees for election as directors and (D) in favor of one or more proposals approving the substance of the Charter Amendment.

For so long as any Common Stock is outstanding and constitutes “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and if the Company is not subject to and in compliance with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company will provide to any holder of such Common Stock, or to any prospective purchaser of Common Stock designated by such holder, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, at or prior to the time of resale, the information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder acknowledges, that each share of Common Stock shall bear a restrictive legend substantially as follows:

THIS SHARE OF COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND WITHOUT A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS SHARE OR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION THEREIN MAY BE MADE EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, IN THE CASE OF CLAUSE (B), UNLESS THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, ANY SUCH TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN AN EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JANUARY 26, 2016. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON REQUEST.

The Holders and the Company agree, as soon as practicable after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, to negotiate and execute a customary piggyback registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company shall agree to offer to register the shares of Common Stock issued to the Holders in the event that the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form). In addition to providing customary indemnities, representations and warranties and cutback provisions, the Company shall pay all expenses of the Holders in the event of such a registration and the Company shall otherwise bear the costs of such registration.

Conditions to the Obligations of the Company Hereunder. The obligations of the Company hereunder are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

Each of the Holders shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Holders on or prior to the Closing Date.

Obligations of Holders.

The obligations of the Holders to exchange their Class B Common Stock for Common Stock and cash pursuant to this Agreement are several and joint, and a breach by one Holder of the terms of this Agreement or a failure by one Holder to exchange its Class B Common Stock will release the other Holders from terms of this Agreement and their obligations hereunder and shall terminate this Agreement.

Specific Performance.

Each of the Holders, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other party hereto would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable by the remedies available at law (including the payment of money damages). It is accordingly agreed that each of the Holders, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (the “Moving Party”), shall each be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof, and the other party hereto will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law. This Section 6 is not the exclusive remedy for any violation of this Agreement.

Fees and Expenses.

Except as expressly set forth herein, all out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts and consultants to a party hereto and its Affiliates) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses; provided, however, the Company shall reimburse the Holders for all documented, reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Holders in connection with the negotiation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement up to a maximum aggregate amount of $150,000.

Severability.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. The parties hereto agree to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to agree upon and substitute a valid and enforceable term, provision, covenant or restriction for any of such that is held invalid, void or enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Appendix C

SECTION 2.5. Notice of Meeting. Written notice of the annual meeting, and each special meeting of stockholders, stating the time, place and purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting.

SECTION 2.6. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these by–laws, the holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

SECTION 2.7. Voting.

(a) Unless an express provision of an applicable statute or the Certificate of Incorporation or of these by–laws shall provide to the contrary, at each meeting of the stockholders each holder of capital stock of the corporation shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share of capital stock registered in his or its name on the books of the corporation on the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, such meeting on each matter properly submitted to stockholders at each meeting. If any stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting shall be present at such meeting and such stockholder shall abstain, whether in person or by proxy, from casting the vote or votes which he or it is entitled to cast at such meeting, such abstention shall not affect the determination of the presence of a quorum at such meeting. For all purposes of these by–laws, an abstention from voting on any matter properly submitted to stockholders at a meeting shall not be considered a vote cast for or against such matter.

(b) Each stockholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by the stockholder, bearing a date not more than three years prior to voting, unless such instrument provides for a longer period, and is filed with the Secretary of the corporation before, or at the time of, the meeting. If such instrument shall designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all of the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one.

(c) When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, a majority of the shares voted in person or by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of an applicable statute, of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these by–laws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in these by–laws to the contrary, a nominee for director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of stockholders for which the Secretary of the corporation determines that the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected as of the date seven days prior to the scheduled mailing date of the proxy statement for such meeting. All votes for election of directors that are cast in person shall be cast by written ballot.

SECTION 2.8.³ Voting of Stock of Certain Holders. Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the by–laws of such corporation may prescribe,

Note to Draft: The deletion of the prior By-law Section 2.8, which relates to stockholders’ ability to act by written consent, shall become effective if and only if the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation eliminating stockholders’ right to act by written consent is adopted by stockholders at the Company’s 2016 annual meeting.

Appendix C

or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine. Shares standing in the name of a deceased person may be voted by the executor or administrator of such deceased person, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a guardian, conservator or trustee may be voted by such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy, but no such fiduciary shall be entitled to vote shares held in such fiduciary capacity without a transfer of such shares into the name of such fiduciary. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver. A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares, unless in the transfer by the xxxxxxx on the books of the corporation, he has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent the stock and vote thereon.

SECTION 2.9. Treasury Stock. The corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it; and such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.

SECTION 2.10. Fixing Record Date.

(a) The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date, not exceeding sixty (60) days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, or the date for payment of any dividend or distribution, or the date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change, or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend or distribution, or to receive any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, and in such case such stockholders and only such stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to receive payment of such dividend or distribution, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the corporation after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

(b) For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to express consent to a proposal without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any person seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall, by written notice addressed to the Secretary of the corporation and delivered to the corporation and signed by a stockholder of record, request that a record date be fixed for such purpose. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date (unless a record date has previously been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the first sentence in this Section 2.10(b)), which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If a record date is not fixed and prior action by the Board of Directors is required with respect to the corporate action to be taken without a meeting, the record date shall be the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the Board of Directors is adopted. If a record date is not fixed and prior action by the Board of Directors is not required, the record date shall be the first date on which a signed written consent is delivered to the corporation in accordance with applicable law.

SECTION 2.11. Advance Notice of Business. Only such business, except for nominations for election to the Board, which must instead comply with Section 3.11 of these by-laws, may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders as is either: (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof); (b) otherwise properly brought before a meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof); or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by any stockholder of the corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.11 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting and (ii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.11.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or be mailed and received at the principal office of the corporation not fewer than ninety (90) days nor more than one-hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within twenty-five (25) days before or after such

C-3

Appendix C

anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting, or the public announcement of such an adjournment or postponement, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth the following information: (a) as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the proposed text of any proposal regarding such business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, if such business includes a proposal to amend these by-laws, the text of the proposed amendment), and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; and (b) as to the stockholder giving notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made, (i) the name and address of such person, (ii) (A) the class or series and number of all shares of stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such person and any affiliates or associates of such person, (B) the name of each holder of shares of all stock of the corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such person or any affiliates or associates of such person, and the number of such shares of stock of the corporation held by each such holder, (C) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the corporation and (D) whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the corporation; (iii) a description of all agreements, arrangements, or understandings (whether written or oral) between or among such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with or relating to (A) the corporation or (B) the proposal, including any material interest in, or anticipated benefit from the proposal to such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, (iv) a representation that the stockholder giving notice intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting; and (v) any other information relating to such person or proposal that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies by such person with respect to the proposed business to be brought by such person before the annual meeting pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

A stockholder providing notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be true and correct as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and such update and supplement shall be delivered to or be mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting.

No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11; provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the chairman of an annual meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

Nothing contained in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision of law).

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 3.1. Powers. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these by–laws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

SECTION 3.2. Number, Election and Term. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board shall be set by the Board.⁴ Unless such number is fixed by express provision of the statutes or the Certificate of Incorporation, in which case such express provision shall govern and control, the number of directors shall from time to time be fixed and determined by the directors and shall be set forth in the notice of any meeting of stockholders held for the purpose of electing directors. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders, except as provided in Section 3.3, and each director elected shall hold office until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify. Directors need not be residents of Delaware or stockholders of the corporation.

SECTION 3.3. Vacancies, Additional Directors and Removal from Office. If any vacancy occurs in the members of the Board of Directors elected by the holders of Common Stock caused by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of any such director, or otherwise, or if any new directorship to be elected by the holders of Common Stock is created by an increase in the authorized number of directors, a majority of the directors then in office elected by the holders of Common Stock, though less than a quorum, or a sole remaining such director, may choose a successor or fill the newly created directorship; and a director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. A director may be removed either for or without cause at any special meeting of stockholders duly called and held for such purpose.

SECTION 3.4. Regular Meeting. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held each year, without other notice than this by–law, at the place of, and immediately following, the annual meeting of stockholders; and other regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held each year, at such time and place as the Board of Directors may provide, by resolution, either within or without the State of Delaware, without other notice than such resolution.

SECTION 3.5. Special Meeting. A special meeting of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board or by the Chief Executive Officer and shall be called by the Secretary on the written request of any two directors. The Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer so calling, or the directors so requesting any such meeting shall fix the time and any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place for holding such meeting.

SECTION 3.6. Notice of Special Meeting. Written notice of special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be given to each director at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the time of such meeting; provided, however, in instances where notice of such meeting is given orally, by telephone or by electronic transmission, such notice need be given only twenty-four (24) hours prior to such meeting. Such notice shall be deemed given effectively if given in person or by telephone, mail, facsimile, electronic mail or by other means of electronic transmission delivered in accordance with Section 5.1 hereto. Any director may waive notice of any meeting. The attendance of a director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except for the purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting, except that notice shall be given of any proposed amendment to the by–laws if it is to be adopted or with respect to any other matter where notice is required by statute.

C-5

Appendix C

SECTION 3.7. Quorum and Vote Required. A majority of the directors fixed pursuant to these by–laws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors. The act of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present at the time of the act shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these by–laws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.⁵

SECTION 3.8. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these by–laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof as provided in Article IV of these by–laws, may be taken without a meeting, if a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

SECTION 3.9. Chairman of the Board and Vice Chairman. The Chairman of the Board shall be elected at the annual meeting of the Board following the annual meeting of stockholders or at a Board meeting following the nomination of a new Chairman to fill any vacancy occurring in the Chairman of the Board position. Subject to the authority of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and the Board of Directors and shall have such other powers and duties as usually pertain to such position or as may be delegated by the Board of Directors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Chairman of the Board shall have the power to set the agenda of all meetings of the Board of Directors and to adjourn any meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors may elect one or more Vice Chairmen of the Board and the Board shall define the duties of such Vice Chairman.

SECTION 3.10. Compensation. Directors, as such, shall not be entitled to any stated salary for their services unless voted by the stockholders or the Board of Directors; but by resolution of the Board of Directors, a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, may be allowed for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors or any meeting of a committee of directors. No provision of these by–laws shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

SECTION 3.11. Nomination of Directors to be Elected by Holders of Common Stock; Advance Notice of Nomination of Directors to be Elected by Holders of Common Stock.

(a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures are eligible for election as directors by the holders of the Common Stock of the corporation. Nominations of persons for election by the holders of Common Stock to the Board of Directors of the corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors provided such nominations are made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by a nominating committee appointed by the Board of Directors or a person appointed by the Board of Directors to make nominations. Nominations may also be made by any holder of Common Stock (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 3.11 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote for the election of directors at such meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in the below Section 3.11(b).

(b) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a holder of Common Stock, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation.

In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of an annual or special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors, or the public announcement of such an adjournment or postponement, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth the following information: (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person;

(iv) such person’s written representation and agreement that such person (A) is not and will not become a party to 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, (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 of the corporation that has not been disclosed to the corporation in such representation and agreement and (C) in such person’s individual capacity, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the corporation, and will comply with, all applicable publicly disclosed confidentiality, corporate governance, conflict of interest, Regulation FD, code of conduct and ethics, and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the corporation;

A stockholder providing notice of any nomination proposed to be made at an annual or special meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 3.11(b) of these by-laws shall be true and correct as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the annual or special meeting, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to or be mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of such annual or special meeting.

The Advisory Members of the Board of Directors may be elected at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors. The Advisory Members of the Board of Directors shall receive the same fee for attending a meeting that a director receives and shall be paid their travel expenses, if any, incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 10.1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise 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 is or was a director, Advisory Member of the Board of Directors or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, Advisory Member of the Board of Directors, officer, or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, Advisory Member of the Board of Directors, officer or trustee, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, Advisory Member of the Board of Directors, officer or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), 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 such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 10.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation.

SECTION 10.2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 10.1, an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee 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 indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 10.2 or otherwise.

SECTION 10.3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 10.1 or 10.2 is not paid in full by the corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be

C-13

Appendix C

a defense that, and (ii) in any suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article X or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

SECTION 10.4. Non–Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article X shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, by–laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

SECTION 10.5. Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, Advisory Member of the Board of Directors, 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 DGCL.

SECTION 10.6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article X with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation.

SECTION 10.7. Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnities in this Article X shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, Advisory Member of the Board of Directors, officer or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article X that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.1. Seal. The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the corporation, and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware.” The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or otherwise reproduced.

Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution or in the by-laws of the corporation, shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; provided, whoever, the by-laws may provide that in the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee or committees the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.
