•

a stockholder delivering a notice of nomination must certify to the Company in writing that it has complied with the Universal Proxy Rules requirements;

•

the Company may disqualify a stockholder’s nomination if such stockholder fails to satisfy the Universal Proxy Rules requirements;

•

a stockholder providing notice pursuant to the Company’s advance notice bylaws must inform the Company if the stockholder no longer plans to solicit proxies in accordance with the Universal Proxy Rules; and

•

the stockholder must use a proxy card color other than white, which is reserved for the exclusive use of the board of directors.
