present. The determination of whether an election is a “Contested Election” shall be made by the Secretary as of the close of the applicable notice of nomination period set forth in Article III Section 6 of the Bylaws or under applicable law based on whether notice of nomination was timely filed. If one or more director notices of nomination are withdrawn at least ten days prior to the date the Company first mails its notice of meeting and proxy statement in connection with such election of Directors, such that the number of candidates for election as Director no longer exceeds the number of Directors to be elected, the election shall not be considered a Contested Election. In all other cases, once an election is determined to be a Contested Election, Directors shall be elected by a vote of a plurality of the votes cast.
