CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — June 30, 2007
(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts)
NOTE A — Basis of Preparation
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
     Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliates where the Company’s ownership is between 20 percent and 50 percent, or where the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operations or financial policy, are accounted for under the equity method.
     Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Nature of Operations: The Company is a leading global supplier of standard and custom-engineered products and systems serving a wide variety of low-temperature and cryogenic applications. The Company has developed an expertise in cryogenic systems and equipment, which operate at low temperatures sometimes approaching absolute zero. The majority of the Company’s products, including vacuum-insulated containment vessels, heat exchangers, cold boxes and other cryogenic components, are used throughout the liquid-gas supply chain for the purification, liquefaction, distribution, storage and end-use of industrial gases and hydrocarbons. The Company has domestic operations located in eight states, including its principal executive offices located in Garfield Heights, Ohio, and an international presence in Australia, China, the Czech Republic, Germany and the United Kingdom.
     Basis of Presentation: On June 12, 2007, the Company completed a secondary stock offering of 12,612,513 shares. The secondary shares were sold by FR X Chart Holdings LLC and certain members of the Company’s management. As part of the shares sold by members of management, 42,421 stock options were exercised in conjunction with the offering. The option of 1,891,876 shares to cover over-allotments granted by the Company to the underwriters was exercised in full. The net proceeds of $38,061 received by the Company from the exercise of the over-allotment option were used to make a voluntary principal payment under the term loan portion of the senior secured credit facility. The consolidated financial statements have been adjusted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 to give effect to the 4.6263-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock that occurred on July 20, 2006, and related adjustments to its capital structure and stock options that were effected upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on July 31, 2006.
     Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
     Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The components of inventory are as follows:
                 
    June 30,     December 31,  
    2007     2006  
 
               
Raw materials and supplies
  $ 41,680     $ 32,404  
Work in process
    24,105       20,974  
Finished goods
    17,079       19,479  
 
           
 
  $ 82,864     $ 72,857  
 
           
     Revenue Recognition: For the majority of the Company’s products, revenue is recognized when products are shipped, title has transferred and collection is reasonably assured. For these products, there is also persuasive evidence of an arrangement, and the selling price to the buyer is fixed or determinable. For brazed aluminum heat exchangers, cold boxes, vacuum-insulated pipe, liquefied natural gas fueling stations and engineered tanks, the Company uses the percentage of completion method of accounting. Earned revenue is based on the percentage that incurred costs to date bear to total estimated costs at completion after giving effect to the most current estimates. The cumulative impact of revisions in total cost estimates during the progress of work is reflected in the period in which these changes become known. Earned revenue reflects the original contract price adjusted for agreed upon claims and change orders, if any. Losses expected

to be incurred on contracts in process, after consideration of estimated minimum recoveries from claims and change orders, are charged to operations as soon as such losses are known. Change orders resulting in additional revenue and profit are recognized upon approval by the customer based on the percentage that incurred costs to date bear to total estimated costs at completion. Timing of amounts billed on contracts varies from contract to contract and could cause a significant variation in working capital requirements.
          Product Warranties: The Company provides product warranties with varying terms and durations for the majority of its products. The Company records warranty expense in cost of sales. The changes in the Company’s consolidated warranty reserve during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Ending balance

          Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company does not amortize goodwill or other indefinite lived intangible assets, but reviews them at least annually for impairment using a measurement date of October 1st. The Company amortizes intangible assets that have finite useful lives.
     SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis. Under SFAS No. 142, a company determines the fair value of any indefinite lived intangible assets, compares the fair value to its carrying value and records an impairment loss if the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is tested utilizing a two-step approach. After recording any impairment losses for indefinite lived intangible assets, a company is required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare the fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill, of such reporting unit (step one). If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss would be recognized. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit may be impaired. The amount of the impairment, if any, would then be measured in step two, which compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.
     The following table displays the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for all intangible assets.

NOTE A — Basis of Preparation — Continued
Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $2,640 and $3,528 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $5,668 and $7,096 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $10,900 for 2007 and $9,800 for fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
     Employee Stock Options: The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payments”, using the modified prospective method, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
     As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were 839 and 861 time-based options and 1,269 and 1,581 performance-based options outstanding under the Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Incentive Plan”), respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded $1,240 and $431, respectively, and $1,534 and $752 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in compensation expense related to the time-based options. As of June 30, 2007, the total share-based compensation expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 3.9 years is $2,382. On June 12, 2007, the Company completed its secondary stock offering in which First Reserve Fund X, L.P. achieved a return on its investment that caused 82% of the performance-based options to vest as specified in the Stock Incentive Plan. As a result of the vesting of the performance-based options, the Company recorded $6,157 in stock-based compensation expense in the second quarter of 2007.
     In May 2007, the Company granted restricted stock units covering 9 shares of common stock to non-employee directors. Each of the 5 grants has a fair market value of $40 on the date of grant. In 2006, the Company granted restricted stock units covering 16 shares of common stock to non-employee directors. Each of the six grants of restricted stock units had a fair market value of $40 on the date of grant. Restricted stock units for 3 shares were forfeited in the first quarter of 2007 upon the resignation of a director. The remaining restricted stock units are expected to fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant or earlier in the event of a “change in control” as such term is defined in the Stock Incentive Plan, to the extent the grant is not forfeited upon early resignation of a director. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded $71 and $130, respectively, in director compensation expense related to the restricted stock units.
     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value to be applied to U.S. GAAP guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its financial position and results of operations.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Pension Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Plans”. This statement requires recognition on the balance sheet of the underfunded or overfunded status of pension and postretirement benefit plans. SFAS No. 158 also requires the recognition of changes in the funded status through other comprehensive income in the year that the changes occur. The amount of net periodic benefit cost recognized in an entity’s results of operation will not change. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year end balance sheet is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006. The adoption of the statement had no effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses related to these financial instruments reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.
NOTE B — Debt and Credit Arrangements
     The Company has a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) and $170,000 of 91/8 % senior subordinated notes (the “Subordinated Notes”) outstanding. The Senior Credit Facility consists of a $180,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and a $115,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), of which $55,000 may be used for letters of credit extending beyond one year from their date of issuance. The Term Loan matures on October 17, 2012 and the Revolver matures on October 17, 2010. The Term Loan does not require any scheduled principal payments prior to the maturity date. The interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility is, at the Company’s option, the Alternative Base Rate (“ABR”) plus 1.0% or LIBOR plus 2.0% on the Term Loan and ABR plus 1.5% or LIBOR plus 2.5% on the Revolver. The applicable interest margin on the Revolver could decrease based upon the leverage ratio calculated at each fiscal quarter end. In addition, the Company is required to pay an annual administrative fee of $100, a commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused Revolver balance, a letter of credit participation fee of 2.5% per annum on the letter of credit exposure and a

letter of credit issuance fee of 0.25%. The obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries.
     The Subordinated Notes are due in 2015 with interest payable semi-annually on April 15th and October 15th. The registration rights agreement required the Company to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement and complete the exchange offer for the Subordinated Notes by August 14, 2006. Since the exchange offer was not completed when required, additional interest at a rate of 0.50% was incurred for the 90-day period commencing November 12, 2006 and additional interest at a rate of 0.75% was incurred for the 90-day period commencing February 10, 2007. The exchange offer was completed on April 6, 2007 and this additional interest ceased accruing as of that date. Any of the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed solely at the Company’s option beginning on October 15, 2010. The initial redemption price is 104.563% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. Also, any of the notes may be redeemed solely at the Company’s option at any time prior to October 15, 2010, plus accrued interest and a “make-whole” premium. In addition, before October 15, 2008, up to 35% of the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed solely at the Company’s option at a price of 109.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, using the proceeds from the sales of certain kinds of capital stock. The Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt of the Company, including the Senior Credit Facility, pari passu in right of payment with all future senior subordinated indebtedness of the Company, and senior in right of payment with any future indebtedness of the Company that expressly provides for its subordination to the Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries.
     The Senior Credit Facility agreement and provisions of the indenture governing the Subordinated Notes contain a number of customary covenants, including but not limited to restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or other encumbrances, sell assets, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make certain payments, investments, loans, advances or guarantees, make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, pay dividends or distributions, and make capital expenditures. The Senior Credit Facility and indenture governing the Subordinated Notes also include financial covenants relating to leverage, interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Company is in compliance with all covenants. In June 2007, the Company made a $40,000 voluntary principal payment under the Term Loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility primarily with proceeds received from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in conjunction with the Company’s secondary stock offering. As of June 30, 2007, there was $80,000 outstanding under the Term Loan, $170,000 outstanding under the Subordinated Notes and letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $26,997 supported by the Revolver.
     Chart Ferox a.s. (“Ferox”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company based in the Czech Republic, maintains secured revolving credit facilities with borrowing capacity, including overdraft protection, of up to $9,600, of which $4,400 is available only for letters of credit and bank guarantees. Under the revolving credit facilities, Ferox may make borrowings in Czech Korunas, Euros and U.S. dollars. Borrowings in Korunas are at PRIBOR, borrowings in Euros are at EUROBOR and borrowings in U.S. dollars are at LIBOR, each with a fixed margin of 0.6 percent. Ferox is not required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facilities in respect to the unutilized commitments thereunder. Ferox must pay letter of credit and guarantee fees equal to 0.75% on the face amount of each guarantee. Ferox’s land and buildings and accounts receivable secure $4,600 and $2,500, respectively, of the revolving credit facilities. As of June 30, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Ferox revolving credit facilities. However, there were $2,256 of bank guarantees supported by the Ferox revolving credit facilities.

NOTE F — Acquisitions
     On May 26, 2006, the Company acquired the common stock of Cooler Service Company, Inc. (“CSC”) based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The consideration paid was $15,927, net of cash acquired, including transaction costs. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and goodwill at the date of acquisition was $8,050 and $8,654, respectively. CSC designs and manufactures air cooled heat exchangers for multiple markets, including hydrocarbon, petrochemical and industrial gas processing, and power generation. CSC has been included in the Company’s Energy and Chemical segment.
     On March 2, 2007, the Company purchased the remaining minority interest in Chart Ferox a.s for a purchase price of $1,612. The purchase price was applied to eliminate the minority interest in Ferox a.s. of approximately $2,000.

NOTE G — Assets Held for Sale
     The Company has entered into an agreement to sell the idle building and a portion of the land at its Plaistow, New Hampshire facility.

NOTE H — Income Taxes
     The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As required by FIN 48, which clarifies SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied FIN 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company did not recognize material adjustments in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was $3,900. This amount includes $1,100 of unrecognized tax benefits which, if ultimately recognized, will reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate. There have been no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits since January 1, 2007.
     The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With no significant exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2003.
     The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for 2004 and 2005 in January 2007. The Company expects the examination to be concluded and settled during 2008. The Company is also currently under examination by a number of state tax authorities. The Company also expects those examinations to be concluded and settled during 2008. It is reasonably possible that a change in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur, however, quantification of an estimated range cannot be made at this time.
     The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company had accrued approximately $302 for the payment of interest and penalties at January 1, 2007 which is included in the unrecognized tax benefits above. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company accrued approximately $93 in additional interest associated with uncertain tax positions.
NOTE I — Employee Benefit Plans
     The Company has four defined benefit pension plans covering certain U.S. hourly and salary employees. All of these plans were frozen as of February 28, 2006. The defined benefit plans provide benefits based primarily on the participants’ years of service and compensation.
     The following table sets forth the components of net periodic pension benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

NOTE J — Reporting Segments
     The structure of the Company’s internal organization is divided into the following three reportable segments: Energy and Chemicals (“E&C”), Distribution and Storage (“D&S”) and BioMedical. The Company’s reportable segments are business units that offer different products and are each managed separately because they manufacture and distribute distinct products with different production processes and sales and marketing approaches. The E&C segment sells brazed aluminum and air-cooled heat exchangers, cold boxes and liquefied natural gas vacuum-insulated pipe to natural gas, petrochemical processing and industrial gas companies who use them for the liquefaction and separation of natural and industrial gases. The D&S segment sells cryogenic bulk storage systems, cryogenic packaged gas systems, cryogenic systems and components, beverage liquid CO2 systems and cryogenic services to various companies for the storage and transportation of both industrial and natural gases. The BioMedical segment sells medical respiratory products, biological storage systems, other oxygen products and magnetic resonance imaging cryostat components. Due to the nature of the products that each segment sells, there are no intersegment sales. Corporate includes operating expenses for executive management, accounting, tax, treasury, human resources, information technology, legal, internal audit, risk management and stock-based compensation expenses that are not allocated to the reporting segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
     Chart Industries, Inc. (the “Company,” “Chart,” or “we”) is a leading independent global manufacturer of highly engineered equipment used in the production, storage and end-use of hydrocarbon and industrial gases. We supply engineered equipment used throughout the global liquid supply chain. The largest portion of end-use applications for our products is energy-related. We are a leading manufacturer of standard and engineered equipment primarily used for low temperature and cryogenic applications. We have developed an expertise in cryogenic systems and equipment, which operate at low temperatures sometimes approaching absolute zero (0 kelvin; -273° Centigrade; - - 459° Fahrenheit). The majority of our products, including vacuum-insulated containment vessels, heat exchangers, cold boxes and other cryogenic components are used throughout the liquid gas supply chain for the purification, liquefaction, distribution, storage and end-use of hydrocarbon and industrial gases.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2007, orders have remained strong at $418.3 million and backlog has increased to $415.3 million compared to $319.2 million at December 31, 2006. This increase is primarily due to increased demand in the global hydrocarbon processing and industrial gas markets served by our Energy and Chemicals (“E&C”) and Distribution and Storage (“D&S”) segments and continued penetration of the international markets served by our BioMedical segment. Also, we experienced growth in our sales, gross profit and operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, which was primarily attributable to higher volume across all of our business segments, and the timing of product price increases, particularly in our D&S segment. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $320.1 million compared to sales of $250.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, reflecting an increase of $69.9 million, or 27.9%. Our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $91.1 million, or 28.5% of sales, as compared to $73.1 million, or 29.2% of sales, for the same period in 2006. In addition, our operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $37.0 million compared to $30.6 million for the same period in 2006. Our slight gross profit margin decline was attributed to our E&C and BioMedical segments.
     As a result of the continued growth in many of the markets we serve, higher product pricing, our present and anticipated customer order trends and our backlog level of $415.3 million as of June 30, 2007, we presently expect to experience continued sales and operating income growth for the remainder of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. However, a temporary slowdown in the D&S segment bulk storage system sales in the U.S. industrial gas market is anticipated in second half of 2007 as a result of the Linde/BOC merger. We also believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under the senior secured credit facility should be adequate to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, debt service and other funding requirements for the remainder of 2007.

     Sales
     Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $167.6 million compared to $129.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, reflecting an increase of $38.2 million, or 29.5%. E&C segment sales were $58.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with sales of $42.5 million for three months ended June 30, 2006, which reflected an increase of $15.6 million or 36.7%. This increase in sales resulted primarily from $7.7 million of air cooled heat exchanger sales from Cooler Service Company (“CSC”), which was acquired in the second quarter of 2006, and from higher volume for brazed aluminum heat exchangers. D&S segment sales increased $20.1 million, or 30.2%, to $86.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $66.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Sales of bulk storage systems and packaged gas systems increased $16.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to higher volume as a result of continued growth in the global industrial gas market, and price increases to absorb escalating raw material costs. Another contributing factor to the increased D&S segment sales in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006 was favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $2.1 million as a result of the weakened U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and Czech Koruna. BioMedical segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $22.9 million compared to $20.4 million for the same period in 2006, which reflected an increase of $2.5 million or 12.3%. Biological storage system sales increased $2.6 million primarily due to higher volume in international markets.

     Gross Profit and Margin
     Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $51.3 million, or 30.6% of sales, versus $36.1 million, or 27.9% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and reflected an increase of $15.2 million. E&C segment gross profit increased $9.6 million and its margin increased 12.6 percentage points, primarily due to a favorable change in project mix for process systems. The improvement in gross profit is also due to higher sales volume in heat exchangers and the acquisition of CSC in the second quarter of 2006. Gross profit for the D&S segment increased $5.3 million, as the margin declined 1.5 percentage points, in the 2007 three month period compared to the 2006 three month period. The increase in gross profit is due to higher sales volume and to a lesser extent the timing of product price increases in both bulk storage and packaged gas systems to absorb escalating raw material costs. The decrease in the D&S segment margin was caused by a change in product line sales mix. BioMedical gross profit increased $0.2 million due to higher sales volume in international markets for both medical respiratory products and biological storage systems. However, the margin decreased 3.5 percentage points in the 2007 period compared to the 2006 period due to an unfavorable sales volume in domestic markets and raw material surcharges.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
     SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $28.8 million, or 17.2% of sales, compared to $17.7 million, or 13.7% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2006. SG&A expenses for the E&C segment were $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $1.5 million. The increase for the E&C segment was primarily the result of higher employee-related and infrastructure expenses to support business growth. D&S segment SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $7.1 million compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $1.1 million. This increase was primarily attributable to higher employee-related and infrastructure costs to support business growth. SG&A expenses for the BioMedical segment were $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and the three months ended June 30, 2006. Corporate SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $13.9 million compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase of $8.5 million was primarily attributable to $7.1 million in stock-based compensation expense related primarily to the vesting of the performance-based options in conjunction with the secondary stock offering completed in June 2007. Also contributing to the increase in SG&A expenses was the incurrence of Sarbanes-Oxley implementation costs and secondary stock offering expenses aggregating approximately $0.9 million, other public company expenses, and infrastructure support costs.
     Amortization Expense
     Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.6 million, or 1.5% of sales, compared to $3.5 million, or 2.7% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease of $0.9 million was due to certain intangible assets being fully amortized at June 30, 2007.
     Employee Separation and Plant Closure Costs
     For both the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, employee separation and plant closure costs were $0.1 million. The costs for both periods were related to the idle Plaistow, New Hampshire facility that is being held for sale. The sale of this facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2007.
     Operating Income
     As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $19.7 million, or 11.8% of sales, an increase of $4.9 million compared to operating income of $14.8 million, or 11.4% of sales, for the same period in 2006.
     Net Interest Expense
     Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $6.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily attributable to decreased long-term debt outstanding as a result of voluntary principal payments of $90.0 million made on the term loan portion of our senior secured credit facility (“Senior Credit Facility”), funded primarily by proceeds from warrant and option exercises in the second quarter of 2006, the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in 2006 and proceeds from the secondary offering completed in June 2007. This decrease was partially offset by higher interest rates on our Senior Credit Facility and the interest incurred on borrowings on the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility.

     Other Expense and Income
     Financing costs amortization were $0.4 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     For the three months ended June 30, 2007, foreign currency losses were $0.6 million as compared to minimal foreign currency gains for the same period in 2006. This decrease in income was the result of the timing of transactions in currencies other than functional currencies primarily in the D&S and BioMedical segments.
     Income Tax Expense
     Income tax expense of $4.3 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represents taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at an effective income tax rate of 34.1% and 31.9%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a greater proportion of U.S. earnings that are taxed at higher rates than the Company’s foreign earnings.
     Net Income
     As a result of the foregoing, reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $8.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
     Sales
     Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $320.1 million compared to $250.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, reflecting an increase of $69.9 million, or 27.9%. E&C segment sales were $110.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with sales of $83.7 million for the same period in 2006, which represented an increase of $26.7 million, or 31.9%. This increase in sales resulted primarily from higher volume, particularly from larger projects, in both heat exchangers and process systems, which were driven by continued growth in the liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) and natural gas segments of the hydrocarbon processing market, and an additional $17.6 million of sales from CSC, which was acquired in the second quarter of 2006. D&S segment sales increased $36.6 million, or 28.8%, to $163.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $126.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Bulk storage and packaged gas systems sales increased $28.9 million and $7.7 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. These increases were driven primarily by increased volume due to continued growth in the global industrial gas market, higher product pricing, and favorable foreign currency translation as a result of the weakened U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and Czech Koruna. BioMedical segment sales increased $6.6 million, or 16.6%, to $46.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $39.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Biological storage systems sales increased $4.3 million as a result of higher volume in the U.S. and international markets. MRI and other product sales increased $1.3 million due to higher volume. Medical respiratory product sales increased $1.0 million as a result of increased demand in the international markets partially offset by decreased demand in the U.S. market due to U.S. government reimbursement reductions for oxygen therapy systems.
     Gross Profit and Margin
     Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $91.1 million, or 28.5% of sales, versus $73.1 million, or 29.2% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and reflected an increase of $18.0 million. E&C segment gross profit increased $4.0 million in the 2007 period compared to the 2006 period primarily due to increased sales volume in brazed aluminum and air-cooled heat exchangers. The E&C segment gross profit margin decreased 1.5 percentage points in 2007 primarily due to previously disclosed lower margins on two large, complex field installation projects, lost productivity at the La Crosse, Wisconsin brazed aluminum heat exchanger facility as a result of a settled strike in February 2007 and lower margins on several other fixed price contracts that were completed or near completion at March 31, 2007. This decline was partially offset by improved margins for both brazed aluminum and air-cooled heat exchangers. Gross profit for the D&S segment increased $12.2 million, or 0.3 percentage points, in the 2007 period compared to the 2006 period primarily due to higher sales volume, manufacturing productivity improvements and to a lesser extent the timing of product price increases to absorb higher raw material costs in bulk storage and packaged gas systems. These were partially offset by a product line sales mix shift. BioMedical gross profit increased $1.7 million in the 2007 period compared to the 2006 period primarily due to higher sales volume. The BioMedical gross profit margin decreased 1.4 percentage points in 2007 primarily due to increases in raw material costs.

     SG&A
     SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $48.2 million, or 15.1% of sales, versus $35.2 million, or 14.1% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. SG&A expenses for the E&C segment were $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $1.6 million. The increase for the E&C segment was primarily the result of higher employee-related and infrastructure expenses to support business growth, increased commission expense due to higher sales volume and the inclusion of CSC for the full six months. D&S segment SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $13.5 million compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $1.7 million. This increase was primarily attributable to higher employee-related expenses to support business growth. SG&A expenses for the BioMedical segment were $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Corporate SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $19.5 million compared to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase of $9.2 million was primarily attributable to $7.1 million in stock-based compensation expense related primarily to the vesting of the performance-based options in conjunction with the secondary stock offering completed in June 2007. Also contributing to the increase was the incurrence of approximately $1.6 million of Sarbanes-Oxley implementation costs and secondary stock offering expenses, other public company expenses, and infrastructure support costs.
     Amortization Expense
     Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $5.7 million, or 1.8% of sales, compared to $7.1 million, or 2.8% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease of $1.4 million was due to certain intangible assets being fully amortized.
     Employee Separation and Plant Closure Costs
     For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, employee separation and plant closure costs were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The costs for the both periods were related to the idle Plaistow, New Hampshire facility which is being held for sale. The sale of this facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2007.
     Operating Income
     As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $37.0 million, or 11.6% of sales, an increase of $6.4 million compared to operating income of $30.6 million, or 12.2% of sales, for the same period in 2006.
     Net Interest Expense
     Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $12.3 million and $13.1 million, respectively. This decrease in interest expense of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily attributable to decreased long-term debt outstanding as a result of voluntary principal payments of $90.0 million made on the Term Loan portion of our Senior Credit Facility, funded primarily by proceeds from warrant and option exercises, the Company’s IPO in 2006 and proceeds from the secondary stock offering completed in June 2007. This decrease was partially offset by higher interest rates on our Senior Credit Facility and the additional interest incurred on the Subordinated Notes, since the exchange offering was not completed until April 2007.
     Other Expenses and Income
     For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, financing costs amortization expense was $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. This increase in amortization expense was attributable to additional deferred loan costs incurred for the amendment on the Senior Credit Facility.
     Income Tax Expense
     Income tax expense of $8.1 million and $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represents taxes on both domestic and foreign earnings at an annual effective income tax rate of 34.1% and 32.5%, respectively. The increase in the annual effective income tax rate was primarily due to a greater proportion of U.S. earnings that are taxed at higher rates than the Company’s foreign earnings.

     Net Income
     As a result of the foregoing, reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $15.6 million and $11.4 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Debt Instruments and Related Covenants
     As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $80.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility, $170.0 million outstanding under the Subordinated Notes and $27.0 million of letters of credit and bank guarantees supported by the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility. The Company believes it is in compliance with all covenants, including its financial covenants, under the Senior Credit Facility and Subordinated Notes. Availability on the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility was $88.0 million at June 30, 2007.
     The registration rights agreement related to the Subordinated Notes required the Company to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement and complete the exchange offer for the Subordinated Notes by August 14, 2006. Since the exchange offer was not completed when required, additional interest at a rate of 0.50% was incurred for the 90-day period commencing November 12, 2006 and additional interest at a rate of 0.75% was incurred for the 90-day period commencing February 10, 2007. The exchange offer was completed on April 6, 2007 and the additional interest ceased accruing as of that date.
     Sources and Use of Cash
     Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $8.4 million compared with cash provided by operations of $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The change in the cash provided by operations in the 2007 period was attributable to increased working capital levels, primarily accounts receivable and inventory to support business growth.
     Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $12.2 million compared to $23.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $10.6 million compared with $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Capital expenditures for 2007 were primarily for the E&C segment brazed aluminum heat exchanger facility expansion in La Crosse, Wisconsin and D&S segment expansion in China to support business growth. Capital expenditures during the same period in 2006 were primarily for expansion of various existing facilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, $1.6 million of cash was used to purchase the remaining minority interest in Chart Ferox a.s. Also, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, $15.9 million of cash was used to purchase CSC.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2007, cash used in financing activities was $0.9 million compared to cash provided of $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, $40.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, were used for voluntary principal prepayments under the Term Loan portion of our Senior Credit Facility. In 2007, $38.1 million in net proceeds was received from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in conjunction with the secondary stock offering completed in June. In 2006, $39.2 million in proceeds was received from warrant and option exercises in conjunction with the IPO. In May 2007, the Company received $1.3 million in contributions from its joint venture partners to fund a new joint venture based in China for the manufacture of cryogenic trailers.

     The Company does not anticipate any unusual cash requirements for working capital needs, but expects to use $13.0 to $15.0 million of cash for capital expenditures for the remaining six months of 2007. A significant portion of the capital expenditures are expected to be used for continued facility expansions to increase capacity at the E&C segment La Crosse, Wisconsin facility and the D&S segment China, Czech Republic and New Prague, Minnesota facilities. Management believes that these expansions are necessary to support our current backlog levels and our expected growth due to an increase in global demand for our products.
     For the remaining six months of 2007, cash requirements for debt service are forecasted to be approximately $10.0 million for scheduled interest payments under our Senior Credit Facility and the Subordinated Notes. We are not required to make any scheduled principal payments during the remaining six months of 2007 under the Term Loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility or Subordinated Notes, but we will consider making voluntary principal payments on our Senior Credit Facility or repurchasing our Subordinated Notes on the open market to the extent permitted by our debt covenants with excess cash flow that is generated. For the remainder of 2007, we expect to use approximately $12.0 million of cash for both U.S. and foreign income taxes and contribute approximately $0.4 million of cash to our four defined benefit pension plans to meet ERISA minimum funding requirements.

Orders and Backlog
     We consider orders to be those for which we have received a firm signed purchase order or other written contractual commitment from the customer. Backlog is comprised of the portion of firm signed purchase orders or other written contractual commitments received from customers that the Company has not recognized as revenue under the percentage of completion method or based upon shipment. Backlog can be significantly affected by the timing of orders for large projects, particularly in the E&C segment, and it is not necessarily indicative of future backlog levels or the rate at which backlog will be recognized as sales. Orders included in our backlog may include customary cancellation provisions under which the customer could cancel part or all of the order at times subject to the payment of certain costs and/or penalties. Backlog as of June 30, 2007 was $415.3 million compared to $342.2 million as of March 31, 2007.
     The following table sets forth orders and backlog by segment for the periods indicated:

     E&C orders for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $146.4 million compared to $71.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. E&C backlog totaled $315.0 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $226.7 million at March 31, 2007. The increase in orders of $75.1 million, or 105%, was primarily attributable to the receipt of process system orders totaling in excess of $100.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 for four LNG liquefaction trains to be installed by the customer in Southeast Asia.
     D&S orders for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $76.0 million compared to $76.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. D&S backlog totaled $92.6 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $105.7 million at March 31, 2007. The D&S backlog declined primarily due to the strong sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Overall, D&S orders have remained strong in recent quarters due to continued demand in the global industrial gas market. Both bulk storage systems and packaged gas systems orders for the three months ended June 30, 2007 have remained relatively constant compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007.
     BioMedical orders for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $21.0 million compared to $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. BioMedical backlog at June 30, 2007 totaled $7.7 million compared to $9.8 million at March 31, 2007. The decrease in orders of $5.9 million, or 21.6%, was primarily due to the timing of larger orders for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were extremely strong across all product lines.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in the Securities Act.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
     The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. A summary of those significant accounting policies can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In particular, judgment is used in areas such as revenue recognition for long-term contracts, determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, goodwill, indefinite lived intangibles, environmental remediation obligations, product warranty costs, debt covenants, pensions and deferred tax assets. There have been no significant changes in accounting

policies since December 31, 2006, except for the adoption on January 1, 2007 of FIN 48 as it relates to the accounting for income taxes. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Forward-Looking Statements
     The Company is making this statement in order to satisfy the “safe harbor” provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to our business. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements contained herein (including future cash contractual obligations) or in other statements made by us are made based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We believe that the following factors, among others (including those described in our “Risk Factors” disclosure), could affect our future performance and the liquidity and value of our securities and cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf:
    the cyclicality of the markets which we serve;
 
    the loss of, or a significant reduction in purchases by, our largest customers;
 
    competition in our markets;
 
    our compliance obligations with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
 
    general economic, political, business and market risks associated with our non-U.S. operations;
 
    our ability to successfully manage our growth;
 
    the loss of key employees;
 
    the pricing and availability of raw materials and our ability to manage our fixed-price contract exposure, including exposure to fixed pricing in long-term customer contracts;
 
    our ability to successfully acquire or integrate companies that provide complementary products or technologies;
 
    our ability to continue our technical innovation in our product lines;
 
    the impairment of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets;
 
    the costs of compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and responding to potential liabilities under these laws;
 
    the insolvency of our formerly consolidated subsidiary, Chart Heat Exchangers Limited, or CHEL, and CHEL’s administration proceedings in the United kingdom, including claims that may be asserted against us with respect to CHEL’s obligations;
 
    litigation and disputes involving us, including the extent of product liability, warranty, pension and severance claims asserted against us;
 
    labor costs and disputes;
 
    our relations with our employees;
 
    our funding requirements in connection with our defined benefit pension plans;
 
    fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates;
 
    disruptions in our operations due to hurricanes;
 
    our ability to protect our intellectual property and know-how;

    regulations governing the export of our products;
 
    additional liabilities related to taxes; and
 
    risks associated with our substantial indebtedness, leverage, debt service and liquidity.
     There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.
     All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2006 and our definitive prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2007. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, which may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     In the normal course of business, the Company’s operations are exposed to continuing fluctuations in foreign currency values and interest rates that can affect the cost of operating and financing. Accordingly, the Company addresses a portion of these risks through a program of risk management.
     The Company’s primary interest rate risk exposure results from the various floating rate pricing mechanisms on the Senior Credit Facility. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points (2 percent) from June 30, 2007 rates, and assuming no changes in debt from the June 30, 2007 levels, the additional annual expense would be approximately $1.6 million on a pre-tax basis.
     The Company has assets, liabilities and cash flows in foreign currencies creating exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the normal course of business. Chart’s primary exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the British pound, the Czech koruna and the Chinese yuan. Monthly measurement, evaluation and forward exchange rate contracts are employed as methods to reduce this risk. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge anticipated and firmly committed foreign currency transactions. Chart does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The terms of the contracts are one year or less. The Company held immaterial positions in foreign exchange forward contracts at June 30, 2007.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     As of June 30, 2007, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, such officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

STOCKHOLDERS
     Section 1.   Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of Directors, and for the transaction of any other proper business, shall be held on such date after the annual financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared as shall be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time. Only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. In the event that the annual meeting is not held on the date designated therefor in accordance with this Section 1, the Directors shall cause the annual meeting to be held as soon after that date as convenient.
     Section 2.   Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors which has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the Board of Directors, include the power to call special meetings of stockholders and no special meetings of stockholders shall be called by any other person or persons.

All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated in the notice of such meeting.

If authorized by the Board of Directors, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication, participate and be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that: (a) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder; (b) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings; and (c) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of these Amended and Restated By-laws or otherwise shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given; any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (a) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent, and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

     When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (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.
     For purposes of these Amended and Restated By-laws, “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.
     Section 5.   Stockholders’ List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.
     Section 6.   Quorum; Adjournment. At any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or these Amended and Restated By-laws, a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, that no action required by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated By-laws to be authorized or taken by a designated proportion of shares may be authorized or taken by a lesser proportion; provided, further, that where a separate vote by a class or classes of shares is required by law, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated By-laws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote. If such quorum shall not be

3


 

present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy shall have power, by vote of a majority of the shares so present or represented, to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented by proxy.
     Section 7.   Voting. In all matters other than the election of Directors and other than any matters upon which by express provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or of these Amended and Restated By-laws a different vote is required, the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the subject matter and present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of the stockholders. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on the election of Directors and present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. Except as otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. Upon the request of not less than 10% in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting, voting shall be by written ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; if authorized by the stockholders, such requirement of a written ballot shall be satisfied, if authorized by the Board of Directors, by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxyholder.
     Section 8.   Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders may authorize, by any means permitted pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and approved by the Board of Directors, another person or persons to act for him by proxy. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

          (b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business as shall have been brought before the special meeting of the stockholders pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting as provided in Article III, Sections 2 and  4 of these Amended and Restated By-laws shall be conducted at such meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which Directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 9 and who is a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation.

The Chairman of the meeting of stockholders shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any nomination or business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of these Amended and Restated By-laws, and if he or she should so determine, the Chairman shall so declare to the meeting, and any such nomination or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
     Section 1.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law, any Director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereafter, a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, manager, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, manager, partner, trustee, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, manager, partner, trustee, employee or agent, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, manager, partner, trustee, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators, provided, however, that, (i) except as provided in Section 4 of this Article, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and (ii) the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify against any amount paid in settlement unless the Corporation has consented to such settlement.
     Section 2.   Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may indemnify any employee or agent of the Corporation to an extent greater than that required by law only if and to the extent that the Directors may, in their discretion, so determine.

12


 

     Section 3.   Advancement of Expenses. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a Director or officer of the Corporation in defending any proceeding referred to in Section 1 of this Article, shall be paid by the Corporation, in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”) upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article; which undertaking may be secured or unsecured, at the discretion of the Corporation.
     Section 4.   Procedures and Presumptions Under this Article VII. If a claim under Section 1 of this Article 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 advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the claimant 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 claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. In (a) any suit brought by a claimant to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by a claimant to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) 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 claimant has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, a committee of such Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law for the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, a committee of such Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the claimant, be a defense to such suit.
     Section 5.   Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. Any indemnification to be provided under Section 1 or 2 of this Article VII (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction and except as specified in Section 145(c) (or any successor Section) of the Delaware General Corporation Law) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the indemnification is proper under the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such paragraph. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, in respect of which indemnification is sought or by a majority vote of members of a committee of the Board of Directors composed of at least two members each of whom is not a party to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable and/or such a committee is not established or obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon.

15


 

Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate or certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. A new certificate of stock may be issued in the place of any certificate previously issued by the Corporation that has become mutilated without the posting by the owner of any bond upon the surrender by such owner of such mutilated certificate.
     Section 3.   Transfers. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives, upon surrender to the Corporation by delivery thereof to the person in charge of the stock and transfer books and ledgers. Such certificates shall be cancelled and new certificates shall thereupon be issued. A record shall be made of each transfer. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of the transfer if, when the certificates are presented, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.
