In connection with such discussions, Cornwall Master provided the Company with certain information regarding two potential director candidates for the Board (the “Potential Candidates”). On October 26, 2012, the Company granted Cornwall Master a limited and specific one-time waiver, applicable only to nominations of the Potential Candidates received by November 16, 2012, of the advance notice requirements under the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company for Cornwall Master to provide timely advance notice of nominations of directors. On November 16, 2012, the Company received a letter from Cornwall Master purporting to be a notice of nomination of one Potential Candidate for election to the Board at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company.
