Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 12, 2018, L3 Technologies, Inc. (“ L3 ”) and Harris Corporation (“ Harris ”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), pursuant to which L3 and Harris have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to effect an all-stock, merger of equals combination of their respective businesses. At the closing, L3 will merge with a newly formed, direct wholly owned subsidiary of Harris, with L3 surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Harris (the “ Merger ”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “ Effective Time ”), the name of Harris will be changed to “L3 Harris Technologies, Inc.”

The board of directors of each of L3 and Harris has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Merger Consideration

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of L3 (the “ L3 Common Stock ”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of L3 Common Stock held by L3, Harris or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries (other than shares of L3 Common Stock owned by a L3 benefit plan or held on behalf of third parties)) will be converted into, and become exchangeable for 1.30 (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Harris (the “ Harris Common Stock ”). At the Effective Time, L3’s common stockholders will own approximately 46%, and Harris common stockholders will own approximately 54%, of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company.

The shares of Harris Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“ NYSE ”). No fractional shares of Harris Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, and holders of shares of L3 Common Stock will receive cash in lieu of any such fractional shares.

Governance

In the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed to certain governance-related matters, which will also be set forth in the charter of the combined company at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, (i) the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Harris immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “ Harris CEO ”) will become the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company and (ii) the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of L3 immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “ L3 CEO ”) will become the Vice-Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer of the combined company. On the second anniversary of the closing of the Merger, the L3 CEO will succeed the Harris CEO as the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. At the Effective Time, each of the Chief Executive Officer and the President and Chief Operating Officer of the combined company will have the respective responsibilities set forth in the Merger Agreement and the charter of the combined company.

At the Effective Time, the board of directors of the combined company will consist of twelve directors, of whom (i) five will be individuals designated by L3 from the independent directors of L3 immediately prior to the Effective Time (of whom one will be designated by L3 to serve as the lead independent director of the combined company), (ii) five will be individuals designated by Harris from the independent directors of Harris immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) the remaining positions will be filled by the L3 CEO and the Harris CEO.

At the Effective Time, the board of directors of the combined company will establish four committees (each a “ Standing Committee ”): (i) the Audit Committee; (ii) the Nominating and Governance Committee; (iii) the Finance Committee; and (iv) the Compensation Committee. Each Standing Committee will have at least four members and, at the Effective Time, be composed of an equal number of directors who were former members of the board of directors of each of L3 and Harris. In addition, at the Effective Time, the L3 CEO and the Harris CEO will jointly establish and co-chair an integration steering committee to oversee the integration process.
 
2

The Merger Agreement also provides that, at the Effective Time, the combined company will be headquartered in Melbourne, Florida.

Conditions to the Merger

The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among others (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of L3; (ii) the approval of the issuance of Harris Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “ Share Issuance ”) and adoption of the amendment of the charter of Harris (the “ Charter Amendment ”) by the stockholders of Harris; (iii) the approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of Harris Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (iv) the expiration or earlier termination of any applicable waiting period, and the receipt of approvals under, domestic and certain foreign antitrust and competition laws; (v) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the Merger; and (vi) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 registering the Harris Common Stock issuable in the Merger and absence of any stop order or proceedings by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) with respect thereto. The obligation of each of L3 and Harris to consummate the Merger is also conditioned on, among other things, the receipt of a tax representation letter from the other party the purpose of which is to permit each party’s counsel to render a tax opinion as to the tax-free nature of the Merger, the absence of a material adverse effect on the other party, the truth and correctness of the representations and warranties made by the other party on the date of the Merger Agreement and on the closing date (subject to certain “materiality” and “material adverse effect” qualifiers), and the performance by the other party in all material respects of its obligations under the Merger Agreement. In addition, the obligation of L3 to consummate the Merger is conditioned on the implementation, at the Effective Time, of the governance-related matters described above.

Certain Other Terms of the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement contains mutual customary representations and warranties made by each of L3 and Harris, and also contains mutual customary pre-closing covenants, including covenants, among others, (i) to operate its businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice in all material respects and to refrain from taking certain actions without the other party’s consent, (ii) not to solicit, initiate, propose, knowingly encourage or knowingly take any action designed to facilitate, and, subject to certain exceptions, not to participate in any discussions or negotiations, provide any non-public information or cooperate in any way with respect to, any inquiries or the making of, any proposal or offer of an alternative transaction, (iii) subject to certain exceptions, not to withdraw, qualify or modify the recommendation of its board of directors for the Merger Agreement or the Merger, as applicable and (iv) to use its respective reasonable best efforts to obtain governmental, regulatory and third party approvals. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains covenants that require each of L3 and Harris to call and hold a stockholder meeting to obtain the requisite stockholder approval and, subject to certain exceptions, each of the board of directors of L3 and Harris to recommend to its stockholders, in the case of L3, to adopt the Merger Agreement and, in the case of Harris, to approve the Share Issuance and adopt the Charter Amendment.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of L3 and Harris, including in the event that (i) the Merger is not consummated on or before September 30, 2019 (as that date may be extended to (and including) December 31, 2019 by either party under certain circumstances in which the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union necessitates additional competition filings and approvals if such filings or approvals are not obtained by September 30, 2019, the “ Outside Date ”), (ii) the requisite approval of the stockholders of L3 or the stockholders of Harris is not obtained at the respective stockholder meetings or (iii) any restraint having the effect of preventing the consummation of the Merger has become final and non-appealable.

In addition, L3 and Harris can each terminate the Merger Agreement upon a material breach by the other party and, prior to attaining the requisite approval of the stockholders of the other party if, among other things, the other party’s board of directors has changed its recommendation that its stockholders, in the case of L3, adopt the Merger Agreement or, in the case of Harris, approve the Share Issuance or adopt the Charter Amendment, or has failed to make or reaffirm such recommendation in certain circumstances.

The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including termination by Harris as a result of an adverse change of recommendation by L3’s board of directors, L3 will pay to Harris a termination fee equal to $590 million in cash. Harris must pay L3 a termination fee equal to $700 million in cash in reciprocal circumstances.
 
3

At the Effective Time, L3’s equity awards will, in accordance with the terms and conditions that were applicable to such awards prior thereto, generally automatically vest and be settled in   Harris Common Stock (with stock options automatically converted into stock options with respect to Harris Common Stock), in each case, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio and appropriate adjustments to reflect the consummation of the Merger and the terms and conditions applicable to such awards prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, Harris stock options will automatically vest and other Harris equity awards will automatically vest and be settled in Harris Common Stock, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions that were applicable to such awards prior to the Effective Time.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about L3 or Harris or their respective businesses. Investors should note that the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement. In addition, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure letters provided by each of L3 and Harris in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. These confidential disclosure letters contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between L3 and Harris rather than establishing matters as facts, are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors and were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement (or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement). Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement should not be relied upon as characterizations of the actual state of facts about L3 or Harris.

Letter Agreement with Christopher E. Kubasik

In connection with the Merger Agreement, on October 12, 2018, L3 entered into a letter agreement (the “ Letter Agreement ”) with L3’s Chief Executive Officer, Christopher E. Kubasik, to confirm the terms of the changes to his roles and compensation arrangements in anticipation of, in connection with and following the contemplated Merger. L3 and Mr. Kubasik may enter into additional agreements to formalize matters reflected in the Letter Agreement. The Letter Agreement will be deemed void ab initio if the Merger Agreement is terminated before the consummation of the Merger.

The Letter Agreement provides for the following:


·
As described in the “Governance” section above, from the closing of the Merger Mr. Kubasik will serve as the Vice-Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer of the combined company through the second anniversary of the closing of the Merger or, if earlier, the date that the Harris CEO ceases to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company, at which point Mr. Kubasik will become the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. On the third anniversary of the closing of the Merger, Mr. Kubasik will become Chairman of the combined company.


·
Beginning at the closing of the Merger, Mr. Kubasik will receive a base salary of $1,450,000 per year, annual target bonus opportunity of $2,500,000, and long-term incentive compensation having a grant date fair value $10,250,000 per year. In all cases, the compensation elements provided to Mr. Kubasik will be no less than the corresponding amounts provided to the Harris CEO.
 
4


·
After the closing of the Merger, Mr. Kubasik will receive a one-time integration award of performance stock units with a target value of $2,500,000 (subject to certain performance-based multipliers) and performance-based non-qualified stock options with a grant date value of $5,000,000 and a ten-year term. The performance stock units and options generally vest at the end of three years, subject to continued employment and achievement of performance goals.


·
The protection period under which Mr. Kubasik will be covered by L3’s Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan (the “ CIC Plan ”) will be extended until the fourth anniversary of the closing of the Merger, in the event of his termination without “cause” or for “good reason” (as defined in the CIC Plan).


·
In the event of his termination without cause or for good reason, Mr. Kubasik’s outstanding options (other than those granted as part of the integration award) and restricted stock units will become fully vested, exercisable and payable, as applicable, and options will remain exercisable for their full remaining term. Outstanding performance stock units (other than those granted as part of the integration award) remain outstanding and eligible to vest for the remainder of the performance period. The integration award will remain outstanding and eligible to vest as to all or a portion of the award based on the date of termination and applicable performance. The integration award options that vest will remain exercisable for their full term.


·
The definition of “good reason” under the CIC Plan as applicable to Mr. Kubasik will be modified to include as “good reason” events: the failure to promote him to the contemplated new roles upon and after the closing of the Merger; the failure of the Harris CEO to cease providing services to the combined company on or before the third anniversary of the closing of the Merger; or the combined company’s material breach of the Letter Agreement. Mr. Kubasik will agree to a limited waiver of his “good reason” rights related to his contemplated relocation to Florida, certain across-the-board changes in employee benefits, and his transition to the role of Vice Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer at the closing of the Merger.


·
The definition of “cause” under the CIC Plan as applicable to Mr. Kubasik will be modified to include as a “cause” event an act of misconduct in violation of certain combined company policies or federal or applicable state law for discrimination or sexual harassment of subordinate employees that creates a material risk of meaningful harm to the combined company.


·
Mr. Kubasik will also receive an additional payment of up to $1,250,000 for relocation-related expenses, with gross up of amounts taxed as ordinary income.

Additional information regarding L3’s executive compensation programs, including information about the CIC Plan, can be found in L3’s proxy statement for its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and in L3’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 29, 2018, each of which has been filed with the SEC.

This report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

This report is being made in respect of the proposed merger transaction between L3 Technologies, Inc. (“L3”) and Harris Corporation (“Harris”).

This report is not a substitute for the Registration Statement, the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any other document that either or both of L3 or Harris or any of their respective affiliates may file with the SEC or make available to their respective stockholders. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS REGARDING THE MERGER WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THOSE DOCUMENTS, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION.

You will also be able to obtain these documents, free of charge, from L3 by accessing L3’s website at https://www.l3t.com/ or from Harris by accessing Harris’s website at https://www.harris.com/.

L3 and Harris and certain of their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from L3 stockholders and Harris stockholders in respect of the proposed transaction.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than historical facts may be forward-looking statements; words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “projects,” “financial guidance,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. L3 and Harris caution investors that these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond L3’s and Harris’ control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. In addition to factors previously disclosed in L3’s and Harris’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this report, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of L3 and Harris to terminate the definitive merger agreement between L3 and Harris; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against L3, Harris or their respective directors; the risk that the stockholder approvals of L3 or Harris may not be obtained on the expected schedule or at all; the ability to obtain regulatory approvals and satisfy other closing conditions to the merger in a timely manner or at all, including the risk that regulatory approvals required for the merger are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; delay in closing the merger; difficulties and delays in integrating the L3 and Harris businesses or fully realizing anticipated cost savings and other benefits; business disruptions from the proposed merger that may harm L3’s or Harris’s businesses, including current plans and operations; any announcement relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the ability of L3 or Harris to retain and hire key personnel or maintain relationships with suppliers and customers, including the U.S. government and other governments, or on L3’s or Harris’s operating results and businesses generally; the risk that the announcement of the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of the common stock of either or both of L3’s and Harris’s common stock and the uncertainty as to the long-term value of the common stock of the combined company following the merger; certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact L3’s or Harris’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which L3 and Harris operate; and events beyond L3’s and Harris’s control, such as acts of terrorism.
 
6

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or as of the date they were made, and neither L3 nor Harris undertakes any obligation to update forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, also see the information under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in L3’s and Harris’s most recent reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2017 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and any material updates to these factors contained in any of L3’s and Harris’s subsequent and future filings.

As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainties of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected and such differences could be material. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Subject to Article FOURTEENTH of this Certificate of Incorporation, if the by-laws so provide, to designate two or more of its number to constitute an executive committee, which committee shall for the time being, as provided in said resolution or in the by-laws of this corporation, have and exercise any or all of the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of this corporation, and have power to authorize the seal of this corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it.
 
Pursuant to the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the stock issued and outstanding, having voting power, given at a stockholders’ meeting duly called for that purpose, or when authorized by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting stock issued and outstanding, the Board of Directors shall have power and authority at any meeting to sell, lease or exchange all of the property and assets of this corporation, including its good will and its corporate franchises, upon such terms and conditions as its Board of Directors deems expedient and for the best interest of the corporation.
 

Subject to Article FOURTEENTH of this Certificate of Incorporation, this corporation may in its by-laws confer powers upon its directors in addition to the foregoing, and in addition to the powers and authorities expressly conferred upon them by the statute.
 
Both stockholders and directors shall have power, if the by-laws so provide, to hold their meetings, and to have one or more offices within or without the State of Delaware, and to keep the books of this corporation (subject to the provisions of the statutes), outside of the State of Delaware, at such places as may be from time to time designated by the Board of Directors.”

Any director, or the entire Board of Directors, of this corporation may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors at a meeting of stockholders called for that purpose.

(1)            In order for a special meeting upon shareholder request (a “Shareholder Requested Special Meeting”) to be called by the Secretary, one or more written requests for a special meeting (each, a “Special Meeting Request,” and collectively, the “Special Meeting Requests”) stating the purpose of the special meeting and the matters proposed to be acted upon thereat must be signed and dated by the Requisite Percent of record holders of common stock of the Company (or their duly authorized agents), must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company and must set forth:
 
(i)            the information required by the second paragraph of Section 8(b) of this Article II; and
 
1

(ii)            an agreement by the requesting shareholder(s) to notify the Company immediately in the case of any disposition prior to the record date for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting of shares of common stock of the Company owned of record and an acknowledgement that any such disposition shall be deemed a revocation of such Special Meeting Request to the extent of such disposition, such that the number of shares disposed of shall not be included in determining whether the Requisite Percent has been reached.
 
For purposes of this Section 3 and references to Shareholder Requested Special Meetings in these By-Laws, “Own”, “Owned” or “Owning” shall mean shares (a) with respect to which a person has title or to which a person’s nominee, custodian or other agent has title and which such nominee, custodian or other agent is holding on behalf of such person, or (b) with respect to which a person (1) has purchased, or has entered into an unconditional contract, binding on both parties thereto, to purchase such shares, but has not yet received such shares, (2) owns a security convertible into or exchangeable for such shares and has tendered such security for conversion or exchange, (3) has an option to purchase or acquire, or rights or warrants to subscribe to, such shares, and has exercised such option, rights or warrants or (4) holds a securities futures contract to purchase such shares and has received notice that the position will be physically settled and is irrevocably bound to receive the underlying shares; provided , that (I) a shareholder or beneficial owner shall be deemed to Own shares only to the extent that such shareholder or beneficial owner has a net long position in such shares, (II) the number of shares Owned, directly or indirectly, by any shareholder or beneficial owner shall not include the number of shares as to which such holder does not have the right to vote or direct the vote on the matter or matters to be brought before the special shareholders meeting, (III) a shareholder or beneficial owner shall not be deemed to Own shares as to which such holder has entered into any Derivative Transaction (as defined in Section 8 of this Article II) and (IV) whether shares constitute shares Owned shall be decided by the Board of Directors in its reasonable determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its shareholders.
 
The Company will provide the requesting shareholder(s) with notice of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting. Each requesting shareholder is required to update the notice delivered pursuant to this Section 3 not later than ten business days after such record date to provide any material changes in the foregoing information as of such record date.
 
In determining whether a special meeting of shareholders has been requested by the record holders of shares representing in the aggregate at least the Requisite Percent, multiple Special Meeting Requests delivered to the Secretary will be considered together only if each such Special Meeting Request (x) identifies substantially the same purpose or purposes of the special meeting and substantially the same matters proposed to be acted on at the special meeting (in each case as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), and (y) has been dated and delivered to the Secretary within sixty days of the earliest dated of such Special Meeting Requests.  If the record holder is not the signatory to the Special Meeting Request, such Special Meeting Request will not be valid unless documentary evidence is supplied to the Secretary at the time of delivery of such Special Meeting Request (or within ten business days thereafter) of such signatory’s authority to execute the Special Meeting Request on behalf of the record holder.  Any requesting shareholder may revoke his, her or its Special Meeting Request at any time by written revocation delivered to
 
2

the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company; provided , however , that if following such revocation (or any deemed revocation pursuant to clause (ii) above), the unrevoked valid Special Meeting Requests represent in the aggregate less than the Requisite Percent, there shall be no requirement to hold a special meeting.  The first date on which unrevoked valid Special Meeting Requests constituting not less than the Requisite Percent shall have been delivered to the Company is referred to herein as the “Request Receipt Date”.
 
(2)            Special Meeting Request shall not be valid if:
 
(i)            the Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law;
 
(ii)            the Request Receipt Date is during the period commencing ninety days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the date of the next annual meeting;
 
(iii)            the purpose specified in the Special Meeting Request is not the nomination, election or removal of directors and an identical or substantially similar item (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, a “Similar Item”) was presented at any meeting of shareholders held within the twelve months prior to the Request Receipt Date;
 
(iv)            the purpose specified in the Special Meeting Request is the nomination, election or removal of directors and a Similar Item was presented at any meeting of shareholders held within one hundred and twenty days prior to the Request Receipt Date; or
 
(v)            a Similar Item is included in the Company’s notice as an item of business to be brought before a shareholder meeting that has been called but not yet held or that is called for a date within ninety days of the Request Receipt Date.
 
(3)            A Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be held at such date and time as may be fixed by the Board of Directors; provided , however , that the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be called for a date not more than ninety days after the Request Receipt Date.
 
(4)            Business transacted at any Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be limited to (i) the purpose(s) stated in the valid Special Meeting Request(s) received from the Requisite Percent of record holders and (ii) any additional matters that the Board of Directors determines to include in the Company’s notice of the meeting. If none of the shareholders who submitted the Special Meeting Request appears or sends a qualified representative to present the matters to be presented for consideration that were specified in the Shareholder Meeting Request, the Company need not present such matters for a vote at such meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Company.

incurred by such shareholder in connection with any shareholder meeting, which expenses shall be borne by such shareholder and not by the Company.
 
Section 4.            Notice of Meetings .  A written or printed notice of every annual or special meeting of the shareholders stating the time and place and the purposes thereof shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat and to each shareholder entitled to notice as provided by law, which notice shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the meeting. Such notice shall be deemed given: (i) if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to each shareholder at such shareholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Company; (ii) if sent by electronic mail, when delivered to an electronic mail address at which the shareholder has consented to receive such notice; and (iii) if posted on an electronic network together with a separate notice to the shareholder of such specific posting, upon the later to occur of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice of such posting. It shall be the duty of the Secretary to give written notice of the annual meeting, and of each special meeting when requested so to do by the Board of Directors or as provided in Section 3(b) of this Article II. Any shareholder may waive in writing any notice required to be given by law or under these By-Laws and by attendance or voting at any meeting without protesting the lack of proper notice shall be deemed to have waived notice thereof. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all shareholders of record who share an address if notice is given in accordance with the “householding” rules set forth in Rule 14a-3(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 233 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
Section 5.         Shareholder List .  A complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of each and the number of voting shares held by each, shall be prepared by or at the instance of the Secretary and made available at the location where the meeting is to be held, at least ten (10) days before every meeting, and shall at all times during the usual hours for business in said ten (10) day period and during the time of said meeting be open to examination by any shareholder.
 
Section 6.           Voting and Proxies .  At all meetings of shareholders, only such shareholders shall be entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, who appear upon the records of the Company as the holders of shares at the time possessing voting power, or if a record date be fixed as hereinafter provided, those appearing as such on such record date.  Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder as proxy by executing a writing authorizing such person or persons to act for such shareholder as proxy or by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission was authorized by the shareholder.
 
Section 7.            Quorum and Adjournments .  Except as may otherwise be required by law or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws, the holders of a majority of
 
4

the shares entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting shall constitute a quorum to hold such meeting; provided, however, that any meeting, whether or not a quorum is present or otherwise, may, by vote of the holders of a majority of the voting shares represented thereat, adjourn from time to time and from place to place in the county wherein said meeting was originally called without notice other than by announcement at such meeting.
 
Section 8.          Advance Notice of Shareholder Nominees for Director and Other Shareholder Proposals .  (a) The matters to be considered and brought before any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company shall be limited to only such matters, including the nomination and election of directors, as shall be brought properly before such meeting in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 8 or in Section 3(b) of this Article II or Section 11 of this Article II.
 
(b)            For any matter to be brought properly before any annual meeting of shareholders, the matter must be (i) specified in the notice of the annual meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) otherwise brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (iii) brought before the annual meeting by a shareholder who is a shareholder of record of the Company on the date the notice provided for in this Section 8(b) is delivered to the Secretary of the Company, who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting of shareholders on such matter and who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 8(b) or (iv) brought pursuant to Section 11 of this Article II. In addition to any other requirements under applicable law and the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and these By-Laws, written notice (the “Shareholder Notice”) of any nomination or other proposal by a shareholder must be timely and any proposal, other than a nomination, must constitute a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely, the Shareholder Notice must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive office of the Company not less than ninety (90) nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year; provided, however, that if (and only if) the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences thirty (30) days before such anniversary date and ends thirty (30) days after such anniversary date (an annual meeting date outside such period being referred to herein as an “Other Meeting Date”), the Shareholder Notice shall be given in the manner provided herein by the later of the close of business on (i) the date ninety (90) days prior to such Other Meeting Date or (ii) the tenth day following the date such Other Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed.
 
A Shareholder Notice must contain the following information: (i) whether the shareholder is providing the notice at the request of a beneficial holder of shares, whether the shareholder, any such beneficial holder or any nominee has any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, or has received any financial assistance, funding or other consideration from any other person with respect to the investment by the shareholder or such beneficial holder in the Company or the matter the Shareholder Notice relates to, and the details thereof, including the name of such other person (the shareholder, any beneficial holder on whose behalf the notice is being delivered, any nominees listed in the notice and any persons with whom such agreement, arrangement or understanding exists or from whom such assistance has been obtained are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Interested Persons”), (ii) the name and address of all Interested Persons, (iii) a complete description of all equity securities and debt instruments, whether held in the form of loans or capital market instruments, of the Company or any of its subsidiaries beneficially owned by all Interested Persons, (iv) whether and the extent to which any hedging, derivative or other transaction (a
 
5

“Derivative Transaction”) is in place or has been entered into within the six months preceding the date of delivery of the Shareholder Notice by or for the benefit of any Interested Person with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries, or any of their respective securities, debt instruments or credit ratings, the effect or intent of which transaction is to give rise to gain or loss as a result of changes in the trading price of such securities or debt instruments or changes in the credit ratings for the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their respective securities or debt instruments (or, more generally, changes in the perceived creditworthiness of the Company or its subsidiaries), or to increase or decrease the voting power of such Interested Person, and if so, a summary of the material terms thereof, and (v) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company that would be entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose the matter set forth in the Shareholder Notice.  As used herein, “beneficially owned” with respect to securities shall mean all securities which such person is deemed to beneficially own pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.  The Shareholder Notice shall be updated not later than 10 days after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting to provide any material changes in the foregoing information as of the record date. Any Shareholder Notice relating to the nomination of directors must also contain (i) the information regarding each nominee required by paragraphs (a), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the corresponding provisions of any successor regulation), (ii) each nominee’s signed consent to serve as a director of the Company if elected, and (iii) information as to whether each nominee is eligible for consideration as an independent director under the relevant standards contemplated by Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K (or the corresponding provisions of any successor regulation). The Company may also require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information, including completion of the Company’s directors questionnaire, as it may reasonably require to determine whether the nominee would be considered “independent” as a director or as a member of the audit committee of the Board of Directors under the various rules and standards applicable to the Company.  Any Shareholder Notice with respect to a matter other than the nomination of directors must contain (i) the text of the proposal to be presented, including the text of any resolutions to be proposed for consideration by shareholders and (ii) a brief written statement of the reasons such shareholder favors the proposal.
 
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8(b) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company at the next annual meeting is increased and either all of the nominees for director at the next annual meeting or the size of the increased Board of Directors is not publicly announced or disclosed by the Company at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a Shareholder Notice shall also be considered timely hereunder, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive office of the Company not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the first date all of such nominees or the size of the increased Board of Directors shall have been publicly announced or disclosed.
 
(c)            For any matter to be brought properly before any special meeting of shareholders, the matter must be set forth in the Company’s notice of the meeting. In the event that the Company calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more persons to the Board of Directors, any shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Company’s notice of the meeting, if
 
6
the Shareholder Notice required by Section 8(b) hereof shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive office of the Company not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which the date of the special meeting and either the names of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting or the number of directors to be elected is publicly announced or disclosed.
 
(d)            For purposes of this Section 8, a matter shall be deemed to have been “publicly announced or disclosed” if such matter is disclosed in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news or wire service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
(e)            In no event shall the adjournment of an annual meeting or special meeting or the postponement of any meeting that does not require a change in the record date for such meeting, or any announcement thereof, commence a new period for the giving of notice as provided in this Section 8.  This Section 8 shall not (i) affect the rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) apply to the election of directors selected by or pursuant to the provisions of Article FOURTH, Section 3 of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Company having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect directors under specified circumstances.
 
(f)            The person presiding at any meeting of shareholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall have the power and duty to determine whether notice of nominees and other matters proposed to be brought before a meeting has been duly given in the manner provided in this Section 8 and, if not so given, shall direct and declare at the meeting that such nominees and other matters are out of order and shall not be considered.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, if the shareholder or a qualified representative of the shareholder does not appear at the annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company to present any such nomination, or make any such proposal, such nomination or proposal shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company.
 
Section 9.         Conduct of Meetings .  The Board of Directors of the Company may adopt by resolution such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of meetings of shareholders as it shall deem appropriate.  Except to the extent inconsistent with applicable law and such rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of each meeting of shareholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts, including causing an adjournment of such meeting, as, in the judgment of such Chairman, are appropriate.  Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following:  (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting, including fixing the time for opening and closing the polls for voting on each matter; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to shareholders of record of the Company, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman shall permit; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.  Unless, and to the extent determined by the
 
7

Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.
 
Section 10.           Organization of Meeting s .  Meetings of shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or in his or her absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a Chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or, in the absence of any such designation, by a Chairman chosen at the meeting.  The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as the secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
 
Section 11.          Shareholder Nominations Included in the Company’s Proxy Materials .  (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 11, if expressly requested in the relevant Nomination Notice (as defined below), the Company shall include in its proxy statement for any annual meeting of shareholders:
 
(i)            the names of any person or persons nominated for election to the Board of Directors (each, a “Nominee”), which shall also be included on the Company’s form of proxy and ballot, by any Eligible Holder (as defined below) or group of up to 20 Eligible Holders that has (individually and collectively, in the case of a group) satisfied, as determined by the Board of Directors, all applicable conditions and complied with all applicable procedures set forth in this Section 11 (such Eligible Holder or group of Eligible Holders being a “Nominating Shareholder”);
 
(ii)            disclosure about each Nominee and the Nominating Shareholder required under Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Proxy Rules”) or other applicable law to be included in the proxy statement;
 
(iii)         any statement included by the Nominating Shareholder in the Nomination Notice and expressly designated therein for inclusion in the proxy statement in support of each Nominee’s election to the Board of Directors (subject, without limitation, to Section 11(e)(ii) hereof), if such statement does not exceed 500 words and fully complies with the Proxy Rules, including Rule 14a-9 (the “Supporting Statement”); and
 
(iv)            any other information that the Company or the Board of Directors determines, in their discretion, to include in the proxy statement relating to the nomination of each Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination, any of the information provided pursuant to this Section 11 and any solicitation materials or related information with respect to a Nominee.
 
For purposes of this Section 11, any determination to be made by the Board of Directors may be made by the Board of Directors, a committee of the Board of Directors or any officer of the Company designated by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors, and any such determination shall be final and binding on the Company, any Eligible Holder, any Nominating Shareholder, any Nominee and any other person so long as made in good faith (without any further requirements).  The chairman of any annual meeting of shareholders, in
 
8

addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall have the power and duty to determine whether a Nominee has been nominated in accordance with the requirements of this Section 11 and, if not so nominated, shall direct and declare at the meeting that such Nominee shall not be considered.
 

(b)
Maximum Number of Nominees .
 
(i)            The Company shall not be required to include in its proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders more Nominees than that number of individuals as is equal to the greater of (i) two or (ii) 20% of the total number of directors of the Company on the last day on which a Nomination Notice may be submitted pursuant to this Section 11 (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (such greater number, the “Maximum Number”).  The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting shall be reduced by the number of:  (1) Nominees whom the Board of Directors itself nominates for election at such annual meeting; (2) Nominees who cease to satisfy, or Nominees of Nominating Shareholders that cease to satisfy, the eligibility requirements in this Section 11, as determined by the Board of Directors; (3) Nominees whose nomination is withdrawn by the Nominating Shareholder or who become unwilling to serve on the Board of Directors; and (4) the number of incumbent directors who had been Nominees with respect to any of the preceding two annual meetings of shareholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Board of Directors.  If one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board of Directors after the deadline for submitting a Nomination Notice as set forth in Section 11(d) hereof but before the date of the annual meeting, and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, then the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.
 
(ii)            If the number of Nominees pursuant to this Section 11 for any annual meeting of shareholders exceeds the Maximum Number then, promptly upon notice from the Company, each Nominating Shareholder in turn will select one Nominee for inclusion in the proxy statement until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of the ownership position as disclosed in each Nominating Shareholder’s Nomination Notice, with the process repeated if the Maximum Number is not reached after each Nominating Shareholder has selected one Nominee.  If, after the deadline for submitting a Nomination Notice as set forth in Section 11(d) hereof, a Nominee or Nominating Shareholder ceases to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 11, as determined by the Board of Directors, a Nominating Shareholder withdraws its nomination of a Nominee or a Nominee becomes unwilling to serve on the Board of Directors, whether before or after the mailing or other distribution of the definitive proxy statement, then the nomination of the applicable Nominee(s) shall be disregarded, and the Company:  (1) shall not be required to include in its proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy the disregarded Nominee(s) or any successor or replacement nominee(s) proposed by the Nominating Shareholder or by any other Nominating Shareholder and (2) may otherwise communicate to its shareholders, including without limitation by amending or supplementing its proxy statement or ballot or form of proxy, that the disregarded Nominee(s) will not be included as a nominee in the proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy and will not be voted on at the annual meeting.

(i)            An “Eligible Holder” is a person who has either (1) been a record holder of the shares of common stock used to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 11(c) continuously for the three-year period specified in Section 11(c)(ii) hereof or (2) provides to the Secretary of the Company, within the time period referred to in Section 11(d) hereof, evidence of continuous ownership of such shares for such three-year period from one or more securities intermediaries in a form that the Board of Directors determines would be deemed acceptable for purposes of a shareholder proposal under Rule 14a-8(b)(2) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule).
 
(ii)            An Eligible Holder or group of up to 20 Eligible Holders may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 11 only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has owned at least the Minimum Number (as defined below) of shares of the Company’s common stock continuously throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Nomination Notice, and continues to own at least the Minimum Number through the date of the annual meeting. Two or more funds that are (x) under common management and investment control, (y) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer or (z) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, shall be treated as one Eligible Holder if such Eligible Holder shall provide together with the Nomination Notice documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Directors that demonstrates that the funds meet the criteria set forth in (x), (y) or (z) hereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by a group of Eligible Holders, any and all requirements and obligations for an individual Eligible Holder that are set forth in this Section 11, including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each member of such group; provided , however , that the Minimum Number shall apply to the ownership of the group in the aggregate.  Should any shareholder cease to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 11, as determined by the Board of Directors, or withdraw from a group of Eligible Holders at any time prior to the annual meeting of shareholders, the group of Eligible Holders shall be deemed only to own the shares held by the remaining members of the group.
 
(iii)            The “Minimum Number” of shares of the Company’s common stock means 3% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock as of the most recent date for which such amount is given in any filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the submission of the Nomination Notice.
 
(iv)            For purposes of this Section 11, an Eligible Holder “owns” only those outstanding shares of the Company as to which the Eligible Holder possesses both:
 
(A)            the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares; and
 
(B)            the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 11(c)(iv) shall not include
 
10

any shares:  (1) purchased or sold by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (2) sold short by such Eligible Holder, (3) borrowed by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or subject to any other obligation to resell to another person, or (4) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the Company, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of:  (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Eligible Holder’s or any of its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree, gain or loss arising from the full economic interest of such shares by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates.
 
An Eligible Holder “owns” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the Eligible Holder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares.  An Eligible Holder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Holder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other similar instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the Eligible Holder.  An Eligible Holder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Holder has loaned such shares provided that the Eligible Holder has the power to recall such loaned shares on five business days’ notice and continues to hold such shares through the date of the annual meeting. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings.  Whether outstanding shares of the Company are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors.
 
(v)            No Eligible Holder shall be permitted to be in more than one group constituting a Nominating Shareholder, and if any Eligible Holder appears as a member of more than one group, it shall be deemed to be a member of the group that has the largest ownership position as reflected in the Nomination Notice.
 
(d)            Nomination Notice .  To nominate a Nominee, the Nominating Shareholder must, no earlier than 150 calendar days and no later than 120 calendar days before the anniversary of the date that the Company mailed its proxy statement for the prior year’s annual meeting of shareholders, submit to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive office of the Company all of the following information and documents (collectively, the “Nomination Notice”); provided, however, that if (and only if) the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before such anniversary date and ends 30 days after the anniversary of the prior year’s meeting date (an annual meeting date outside such period being referred to herein as an “Other Meeting Date”), the Nomination Notice shall be given in the manner provided herein by the later of the close of business on the date that is 180 days prior to such Other Meeting Date or the tenth day following the date such Other Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed:

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VI, except for proceedings to enforce rights provided in this Article VI, the Company shall not be obligated under this Article VI to provide any indemnification or any payment or reimbursement of expenses to any director, officer or other person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person (which shall not include counterclaims or crossclaims initiated by others) unless the Board of Directors has authorized or consented to such proceeding (or part thereof) in a resolution adopted by the Board.

Section 1.            Certificates; Uncertificated Shares .  The shares of stock of the Company shall be represented by certificates in such form as the appropriate officers of the Company may from time to time prescribe; provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of stock of the Company shall be uncertificated shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or the adoption of such a resolution or resolutions by the Board of Directors, each holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled, upon request, to a certificate representing such shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to any share represented by a certificate theretofore issued until such certificate is surrendered to the Company. Share certificates shall be numbered and registered in a share register as they are issued. Share certificates shall exhibit the name of the registered holder and the number and class of shares and the series, if any, represented thereby and the par value of each such share or a statement that each such share is without par value, as the case may be.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of shares represented by certificates of the same class and series shall be identical.

In case any officer or officers of the Company who have signed, or whose facsimile, engraved or printed signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the Company, such certificate or certificates may, nevertheless, be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile, engraved or printed signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Company.
 
Section 3.            Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates; Issuance of New Certificates .  In case of loss, theft or destruction of any certificate representing shares of stock or other securities of the Company, another may be issued, or uncertificated shares may be issued, in its place upon satisfactory proof of such loss, theft or destruction and upon the giving of a satisfactory bond of
 
23

indemnity to the Company and to the transfer agents, transfer clerks and registrars, if any, of such stock or other securities, as the case may be.
 
Section 4.           Transfer of Shares .  Subject to valid transfer restrictions and stop-transfer orders, upon surrender to the Company, or a transfer agent, transfer clerk or registrar of the Company, of a certificate representing shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Company may issue a new certificate or new equivalent uncertificated shares, as the case may be, or in the case of uncertificated shares, upon request, a certificate representing, or other evidence of, such new equivalent uncertificated shares, to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the holder of uncertificated shares, the Company shall cancel such uncertificated shares and issue new equivalent uncertificated shares, or, upon such holder’s request, a certificate representing, or other evidence of, such new equivalent uncertificated shares, to the person entitled thereto, and record the transaction upon its books. In no event shall a transfer of shares affect the right of the Company to pay any dividend upon the stock to the holder of record thereof for all purposes, and no transfer shall be valid, except between the parties thereto, until such transfer shall have been made upon the books of the Company.
 
Section 5.           Registered Shareholders .  The Company and its transfer agents, transfer clerks and registrars, if any, shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares as the holder in fact thereof and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claims to, or interest in, such shares on the part of any other person and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of shares which are registered, or to be registered, in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with actual knowledge that a fiduciary, or nominee of a fiduciary, is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.

Exhibit C

1.
The Parties agree that the Requisite Regulatory Approvals comprise all authorizations, consents, orders, approvals, filings and declarations and the lapse of all such waiting periods, as applicable, required or advisable under any Antitrust Law of the United States, the European Union, Australia, Canada, and Turkey; provided , however , that, in the event that the European Commission confirms that it does not assert jurisdiction over the Merger (such confirmation, a “ No EC Jurisdiction Event ”), Germany and, subject to paragraph 3 of this Exhibit C , the United Kingdom, shall be substituted for the European Union in the list of Requisite Regulatory Approvals.
 
2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the European Commission asserts jurisdiction over the Merger and, prior to Closing, Article 21 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 139/2004 ceases to prevent the competent authorities in the United Kingdom from applying the Antitrust Law of the United Kingdom to the Merger (such cessation, a “ UK Withdrawal Event ”), the Requisite Regulatory Approvals shall comprise (i) subject to paragraph 3 of this Exhibit C , the approval of the Merger under any Antitrust Law by the competent authorities in the United Kingdom, (ii) the authorizations, consents, orders, approvals, filings and declarations and the lapse of all such waiting periods, as applicable, required or advisable under any Antitrust Law of the United States, Australia, Canada and Turkey and (iii) as required, the approval of the Merger under any Antitrust Law in the European Union or Germany.
 
3.
In the event that a No EC Jurisdiction Event or a UK Withdrawal Event occurs, the Parties and their respective Antitrust Law counsel shall cooperate to determine as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of such event) whether it would be advisable to request the approval of the Merger under the Antitrust Law of the United Kingdom, and such co-operation shall include seeking guidance from the competent authorities in the United Kingdom if the Parties mutually agree it is advisable to seek such guidance. If at the conclusion of that period, either Party, acting reasonably, determines that it would be advisable to request the approval of the Merger under the Antitrust Law of the United Kingdom, such approval shall be included in the definition of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals under paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 (as applicable) of this Exhibit C .
