AMENDMENT
TO
BY-LAWS
Effective as of December 16, 2010
1. | Section 2.10 of the By-Laws of Navigant Consulting, Inc., as amended as of July 25, 2007 (the By-Laws), is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
2.10. Vote Required. When a quorum is present at any meeting of all stockholders, in
all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of holders of a
majority of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote
thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall decide any question brought before
such meeting, unless the question is one which by express provision of law or the
Certificate of Incorporation requires a different vote in which case such express provision
shall govern and control the decision of such question.
2. | Section 3.2 of the By-Laws is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
3.2. Election. Each director elected shall hold office during the term for which he
or she is elected and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Any director may
be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to
vote at an election of directors. Each director shall be elected by the vote of a majority
of the votes cast with respect to such directors election at any meeting for the election
of directors at which a quorum is present. However, 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 proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on
the election of directors. A majority of votes cast in an election of directors shall mean
that the number of votes cast for a directors election exceeds the number of votes cast
against such directors election (with abstentions and broker nonvotes not counted as
a vote cast either for or against such directors election).
If a nominee for director, who is an incumbent director, is not elected, such director
shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Nominating and
Governance Committee, or such other committee designated by the Board of Directors from time
to time, shall make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or
reject the resignation of such incumbent director, or whether other action should be taken.
The Board of Directors shall act on the resignation and publicly disclose, in the manner
provided in Section 2.3, its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale
behind the decision within 90 days following certification of the election results.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may determine to extend such 90-day
period by an additional period of up to 90 days if it determines that such an extension is
in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders.
The director who tenders his or her resignation shall not participate in the
recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the decision of the Board of
Directors with respect to his or her resignation.
