Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of FormFactor, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 27, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to phase out the Company’s classified board structure and provide for the annual election of all directors commencing with the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Declassification Amendment”). The Company’s Charter previously provided for the Board of Directors to be divided into three classes of approximately equal size, with each class serving a staggered three-year term. Pursuant to the Declassification Amendment, (a) directors who were elected at the 2022 Annual Meeting will serve a one-year term and they or their successors will stand for reelection at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, (b) directors whose terms expire at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, including those directors elected at the 2022 Annual Meeting and the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting, or their successors, will stand for election to a one-year term at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and directors whose current terms expire at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, including those directors who are elected at the 2022 Annual Meeting and the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or their successors, will stand for election to a one-year term at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Beginning with the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the declassification of the Board of Directors will be complete, and all directors will be subject to annual election for one-year terms.

The Board previously approved the Declassification Amendment, subject to receipt of stockholder approval at the 2022 Annual Meeting, and also approved an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) incorporating the Declassification Amendment, which was conditioned upon stockholder approval of the Declassification Amendment and the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to effect the Declassification Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Company filed the Certificate of Amendment and the Restated Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware following receipt of stockholder approval at the 2022 Annual Meeting and both became effective May 27, 2022.

The Board of Directors also approved, conditioned and effective upon stockholder approval of the Declassification Amendment and the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, amendments to the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) to conform the provisions of Article II, Section 2.2 of the Bylaws to the Charter amendments effected by the Declassification Amendment and to adopt gender neutral language.

The foregoing descriptions are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, the Restated Certificate, and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are being filed as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, to this Form 8-K.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Annual Meeting was held online via live webcast. At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the following six (6) proposals and cast their votes as follows:

Proposal 1: Election of directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, each to serve on the Company’s Board for a term of one year or until their successor has been elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. The director nominees were:


Nominee	For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
Lothar Maier	65,878,503	3,493,737	115,854	5,236,455
Sheri Rhodes	69,166,188	206,684	115,222	5,236,455
Jorge Titinger	68,824,235	548,078	115,781	5,236,455

Each director nominee was elected a director of the Company. Following the Annual Meeting, the membership of the Company’s board of directors comprises Tom St. Dennis*, Michael D. Slessor, Raymond A. Link(1)(3), Lothar Maier(1)(3), Rebeca Obregon-Jimenez(2), Sheri Rhodes(3), Kelley Steven-Waiss(1)(2), and Jorge Titinger(2).

* Chairperson of the Board of Directors.

(1) Current member of the Governance and Nominating Committee with Mr. Maier as Chairperson.

(2) Current member of the Compensation Committee with Ms. Steven-Waiss as Chairperson.

(3) Current member of the Audit Committee with Mr. Link as Chairperson.

Proposal 2: Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to phase out classification of our Board of Directors and provide for the annual election of all directors commencing with the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders:


For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
69,355,077	13,347	119,670	5,236,455

This proposal was approved.

Proposal 3: Non-binding advisory vote to approve the Company's executive compensation:


For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
67,965,878	1,378,578	143,638	5,236,455

The Company’s stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement relating to the Annual Meeting.

Proposal 4: Non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder advisory votes on the company’s executive compensation:


Every 1 Year	Every 2 Years	Every 3 Years	Abstain
66,310,010	14,186	2,938,776	225,122

On an advisory basis, the Company’s stockholders indicated their preference for the advisory vote on executive compensation to be held annually. In response to the voting results and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote on the named executive officer compensation every year. The Company will continue to hold advisory votes on named executive officer compensation every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Company is required to provide stockholders at least once every six calendar years the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation.

Proposal 5: Amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan by 4,000,000 shares and to extend the term of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to 2032:


For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
65,592,392	3,761,757	133,945	5,236,455

This proposal was approved.

Proposal 6: Ratification of KPMG LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2022:


For	Against	Abstain
71,885,211	2,723,345	115,993

This proposal was approved.

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.1: Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware or by means of remote communication, as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may determine from time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

Section 1.2: Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes described in the notice of the meeting may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, and shall be called upon the request of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time). Special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. If a special meeting of stockholders is called at the request of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, then such person shall request such meeting by delivering a written request to call such meeting to each member of the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors shall then determine the time, date and place of such special meeting, which shall be held not more than one hundred twenty (120) nor less than thirty-five (35) days after the written request to call such special meeting was delivered to each member of the Board of Directors. Special meetings may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware or by means of remote communication, as shall be stated in the notice of such meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. Business conducted at a special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes of the meeting as stated in the notice of such meeting given by the person calling such meeting. Any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders may be rescheduled or cancelled by the Board of Directors.

Section 1.3: Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of all meetings of stockholders stating the place, date and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given in writing, by electronic transmission in the manner provided by law (including without limitation as set forth in Article VII, Section 7.1 of these Bylaws) or in any other form or manner that is allowable by law. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, such notice shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Any stockholder waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

Section 1.4: Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or another place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, date and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that 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, then a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 1.5: Quorum. At each meeting of stockholders the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except if otherwise required by applicable law. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, at the meeting may adjourn the meeting. Shares of the Corporation’s stock belonging to the Corporation (or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation are held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation), shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any other corporation to vote any shares of the Corporation’s stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 1.6: Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by such person as the Board of Directors may designate, or, in the absence of such a person, the Chief Executive Officer, or, in the absence of such person, the President of the Corporation, or, in the absence of such person, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting. Such person shall be chairperson of the meeting and, subject to such rules, regulations and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors as it shall deem appropriate and Section 1.10 hereof, shall (i) have the power to adjourn the meeting to another time, date and place (if any) and (ii) have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairperson, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairperson of the meeting, may include, without limitation, (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting, (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairperson of the meeting shall determine, (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in such person’s absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 1.7: Voting; Proxies.

(a) Unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.8 of these Bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such a proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner permitted by applicable law. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot unless such is demanded at the meeting before voting begins by a stockholder or stockholders holding shares representing at least one percent (1%) of the votes entitled to vote at such meeting, or by such stockholder’s or stockholders’ proxy; provided, however, that an election of directors shall be by written ballot if demand is so made by any stockholder at the meeting before voting begins. If a vote is to be taken by written ballot, then each such ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as the chairperson of the meeting deems appropriate and, if authorized by the Board of Directors, the ballot may be submitted by electronic transmission in the manner provided by law.

(b) Each director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to such director at any meeting for the election of such director at which a quorum is present, provided that, except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. For purposes of this Section 1.7(b) of the Bylaws, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director. If a nominee for director is not elected, the director shall offer to tender such director’s resignation to the Board of Directors. The Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. The director who has so tendered such director’s resignation will not participate in the Board of Directors’ decision.

(c) Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every matter other than the election of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote thereon that are present in person or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and are voted for or against the matter.

Section 1.8: Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action to which such record date relates. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, then the record date shall be as provided by applicable law. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.9: List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network as permitted by law (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during business hours for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also 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 at the meeting. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall 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 the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 1.10: Inspectors of Elections.

(a) Applicability. Unless otherwise provided in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the following provisions of this Section 1.10 shall apply only if and when the Corporation has a class of voting stock that is: (i) listed on a national securities exchange; (ii) authorized for quotation on an automated interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; or (iii) held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders; in all other cases, observance of the provisions of this Section 1.10 shall be optional, and at the discretion of the Corporation.

(b) Appointment. The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.

(c) Inspector’s Oath. Each inspector of election, before entering upon the discharge of such inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability.

(d) Duties of Inspectors. At a meeting of stockholders, the inspectors of election shall (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each share, (ii) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period of time a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors.

(e) Opening and Closing of Polls. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced by the chairperson of the meeting. No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery upon application by a stockholder shall determine otherwise.

(f) Determinations. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information provided in connection with proxies in accordance with Section 212(c)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, ballots and the regular books and records of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record

owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification of their determinations pursuant to this Section 1.10 shall specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

Section 1.11: Nomination of Directors.

(a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors at any annual or special meeting of stockholders. These provisions shall not apply to nomination of any persons entitled to be separately elected by holders of preferred stock. Nominations of persons for election as directors may be made only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (each, a “Board Nominee”), or by a qualifying stockholder at any annual meeting of stockholders or at any special meeting for which the election of directors is a purpose specified in the notice of meeting given by the person calling the special meeting (each, a “Stockholder Nominee”). A nomination by a qualifying stockholder may be made only pursuant to timely notice in proper written form to the Secretary. To be in proper form, such stockholder’s written notice shall set forth:

(i) as to each Stockholder Nominee whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director:

(E) any other information relating to the proposed Stockholder Nominee and such Stockholder Nominee’s affiliates and associates that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and

Such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity 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.

Section 6.2: Advance of Expenses. The Corporation shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such a director or officer in defending any such Proceeding as they are incurred in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law then so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by such a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise; and provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be required to advance any expenses to a person against whom the Corporation directly brings a claim, in a Proceeding, alleging that such person has breached such person’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation, committed an act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or derived an improper personal benefit from a transaction.

Section 6.3: Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this Article VI shall limit the ability of the Corporation, in its discretion, to indemnify or advance expenses to persons whom the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this Article VI.

Section 6.4: Indemnification Contracts. The Board of Directors is authorized to cause the Corporation to enter into indemnification contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing indemnification rights to such person. Such rights may be greater than those provided in this Article VI.

Section 6.5: Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any right or protection conferred on a person pursuant to this Article VI and existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VII

NOTICES

Section 7.1: Notice. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or required by law, all notices required to be given pursuant to these Bylaws shall be in writing and may in every instance be effectively given by hand delivery (including use of a delivery service), by depositing such notice in the mail, postage prepaid, or by sending such notice by prepaid telegram, telex, overnight express courier, mailgram, or facsimile. Any such notice shall be addressed to the person to whom notice is to be given at such person’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. The notice shall be deemed given (i) in the case of hand delivery, when received by the person to whom notice is to be given or by any person accepting such notice on behalf of such person, (ii) in the case of delivery by mail, upon deposit in the mail, (iii) in the case of delivery by overnight express courier, when dispatched, and (iv) in the case of delivery via telegram, telex, mailgram, or fax when dispatched. 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 the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws 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 revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) 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, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given in writing or by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Section 7.2: Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of these Bylaws, a written waiver of notice, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

ARTICLE VIII

INTERESTED DIRECTORS

Section 8.1: Interested Directors; Quorum. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof that authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because such director’s or officer’s or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to such director’s or officer’s or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; (ii) the material facts as to such director’s or officer’s or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Interested or common directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

Section 9.7: Exclusive Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware). Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 9.7.
