The Company sells dental and certain healthcare products through a worldwide network of distributors and directly to end users.  For customers on credit terms, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of those customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral from them.  The Company establishes allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments based on historical averages of aged receivable balances and the Company’s experience in collecting those balances, customer specific circumstances, as well as changes in the economic and political environments.  The Company records a provision for doubtful accounts, which is included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses.”

Accounts and notes receivables – trade, net are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and trade discounts, which was $15.2 million at June 30, 2013 and $14.5 million at December 31, 2012.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities consist of corporate convertible bonds that are classified as available-for-sale in “Other noncurrent assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the instruments mature in December 2015. The Company determined the appropriate classification at the time of purchase and will re-evaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. In addition, the Company reviews the securities each quarter for indications of possible impairment. If an impairment is identified, the determination of whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary requires significant judgment. The primary factors that the Company considers in making this judgment include the extent and time the fair value of each investment has been below cost and the existence of a credit loss. If a decline in fair value is judged other-than-temporary, the basis of the securities is written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down is included as a realized loss in the consolidated statement of operations. Changes in fair value are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).

 The convertible feature of the bonds has not been bifurcated from the underlying bonds as the feature does not contain a net-settlement feature, nor would the Company be able to achieve a hypothetical net-settlement that would substantially place the Company in a comparable cash settlement position.  As such, the derivative is not accounted for separately from the bond.  The cash paid by the Company was equal to the face value of the bonds issued, and therefore, the Company has not recorded any bond premium or discount on acquiring the bonds.  The fair value of the bonds was $61.6 million and $75.1 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, an unrealized holding gain of $8.8 million and $17.8 million, respectively, on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, had been recorded in AOCI. 

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The standard requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions that are offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as well as instruments and transactions that are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement. In January

8



2013, The FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The standard clarifies the scope of the disclosure to apply only to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as well as securities lending and borrowing transactions. The standard was effective January 1, 2013, with retrospective application required. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements. The Company adopted this accounting standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” This newly issued accounting standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. Under the revised standard, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step impairment test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. Prior to the issuance of the revised standard, an entity was required to perform step one of the impairment test at least annually by calculating and comparing the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying amount. Under the revised standard, if an entity determines that step one is necessary and the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, then step two of the test will continue to be required to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. This ASU is effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company adopted this accounting standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income in its entirety in the same period. For other amounts not required to be reclassified to net income in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about the reclassification amounts is required. Since the standard only impacts the disclosure requirements of AOCI and does not impact the accounting for accumulated comprehensive income, the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted this accounting standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” This newly issued accounting standard requires a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”)attached to the parent’s investment in a foreign entity should be released in a manner consistent with the derecognition guidance on investment entities. Thus the entire amount of CTA associated with the foreign entity would be released when there has been a sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents a complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity, a loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity, or step acquisition for a foreign entity. The adoption of this standard will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company expects to adopt this accounting standard for the quarter ending March 31, 2014.

Options to purchase 2.9 million and 3.5 million shares of common stock that were outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share since the options’ exercise price were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. There were 3.8 million and 4.1 million antidilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

NOTE 5 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company paid $9.0 million to purchase the remaining outstanding shares of a consolidated subsidiary. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a decrease in noncontrolling interest of $5.0 million and a reduction to additional paid in capital of $3.9 million for the excess of the purchase price above the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest.

NOTE 6 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has numerous operating businesses covering a wide range of dental and certain healthcare products and geographic regions, primarily serving the professional dental market. Professional dental products represented approximately 88% and 89% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 89% of sales for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

The operating businesses are combined into operating groups, which have overlapping product offerings, geographical presence, customer bases, distribution channels, and regulatory oversight. These operating groups are considered the Company’s reportable segments as the Company’s chief operating decision-maker regularly reviews financial results at the operating group level and uses this information to manage the Company’s operations. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K in the summary of significant accounting policies.  The Company measures segment income for reporting purposes as net operating income before restructuring and other costs, interest expense, interest income, other expense (income), net and provision for income taxes. Additionally, the operating segments are measured on net third party sales, excluding precious metal content. A description of the services provided within each of the Company’s four reportable segments is provided below.

During the first six months of 2013, the Company realigned certain implant and implant related businesses as a result of changes to the business structure. The segment information below reflects the revised structure for all periods shown.




14



Dental Consumable and Laboratory Businesses

This segment includes responsibility for the design, manufacturing, sales and distribution of certain small equipment and chairside consumable products in the United States, Germany and certain other European regions.  It also has responsibility for the sales and distribution of certain Endodontic products in Germany. This segment also includes the responsibility for the design, manufacture, sales and distribution of most dental laboratory products, excluding certain countries. This segment is also responsible for most of the Company’s non-dental business excluding medical products.

Orthodontics/Canada/Mexico/Japan

  This segment is responsible for the worldwide manufacturing, sales and distribution of the Company’s Orthodontic products. It also has responsibility for the sales and distribution of most of the Company’s dental products sold in Japan, Canada and Mexico.

Select Distribution Businesses

This segment includes responsibility for the sales and distribution for most of the Company’s dental products sold in France, United Kingdom, Italy, Austria and certain other European countries, Middle Eastern countries, India and Africa. Operating margins of the segment are reflective of the intercompany transfer price of products manufactured by other operating segments.

Implants/Endodontics/Healthcare/Pacific Rim

This segment includes the responsibility for the design, manufacture, sales and distribution of most of the Company’s dental implant and related products. This segment also includes the responsibility for the design and manufacturing of Endodontic products and is responsible for the sales and distribution of the Company’s Endodontic products in the United States, Switzerland, and locations not covered by other selling divisions.  In addition, this segment is also responsible for sales and distribution of certain Endodontic products in Germany, Asia and other parts of the world. Additionally, this segment is responsible for the design and manufacture of certain dental consumables and dental laboratory products and the sales and distribution of most dental products sold in Brazil, Latin America (excluding Mexico), Australia and most of Asia (excluding India and Japan). This segment is also responsible for the worldwide design, manufacturing, sales and distribution of the Company’s healthcare products (non-dental) throughout most of the world.

Significant interdependencies exist among the Company’s operations in certain geographic areas. Inter-group sales are at prices intended to provide a reasonable profit to the manufacturing unit after recovery of all manufacturing costs and to provide a reasonable profit for purchasing locations after coverage of marketing and general and administrative costs.

Generally, the Company evaluates performance of the segments based on the groups’ operating income, excluding restructuring and other costs, and net third party sales, excluding precious metal content.

NOTE 7 – INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the cost of $7.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, was determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. The cost of other inventories was determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods. If the FIFO method had been used to determine the cost of LIFO inventories, the amounts at which net inventories are stated would be higher than reported at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 by $6.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

The Company establishes reserves for inventory estimated to be obsolete or unmarketable. Assumptions about future demand and market conditions are considered when estimating these reserves. The inventory valuation reserves were $33.9 million and $32.6 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Inventories, net of inventory valuation reserves, consist of the following:

NOTE 10 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of market risks, which primarily include the risks related to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as part of its overall risk management program. The objective of this risk management program is to reduce the volatility that these market risks may have on the Company’s operating results and equity. The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions, firm commitments, or assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and to convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt, cross currency basis swaps to convert debt denominated in one currency to another currency and commodity swaps to fix certain variable raw material costs.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign exchange revaluation risk associated with recorded assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The gains and losses on these derivative transactions offset the gains and losses generated by the revaluation of the underlying non-functional currency balances and are recorded in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company primarily uses forward foreign exchange contracts and cross currency basis swaps to hedge these risks. The Company’s significant contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2013 are summarized in the tables that follow.

On June 19, 2013, the Company terminated 347.8 million euros of cross currency basis swaps that had been used to offset the revaluation of a euro denominated intercompany note receivable at a U.S. dollar functional entity.

On June 27, 2013, the Company dedesignated 36.0 million euros of its net investment hedges. The change in the value of the dedesignated trade will be recorded in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and going forward it will offset the change in the value of a euro denominated intercompany note receivable held at a U.S. dollar functional entity.







19



Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

The Company uses a layered hedging program to hedge select anticipated foreign currency cash flows to reduce volatility in both cash flows and reported earnings of the consolidated Company. The Company accounts for the foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the contracts primarily through AOCI based on the tested effectiveness of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company measures the effectiveness of cash flow hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be deferred in AOCI and released and recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction is recorded. The time value component of the fair value of the derivative is deemed ineffective and is reported currently in “Other expense (income), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with the Company’s policy of classifying the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.

These foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities up to eighteen months and the counterparties to the transactions are typically large international financial institutions. The Company’s significant contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2013 are summarized in the tables that follow.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its variable interest rate debt to fixed interest rate debt. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has two groups of significant interest rate swaps. One of the groups of swaps has notional amounts totaling 12.6 billion Japanese yen, and effectively converts the underlying variable interest rates to an average fixed interest rate of 0.2% for a term of three years, ending in September 2014. Another swap has a notional amount of 65.0 million Swiss francs, and effectively converts the underlying variable interest rates to a fixed interest rate of 0.7% for a term of five years, ending in September 2016.

The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts infrequently as they are only used to manage interest rate risk on long-term debt instruments and not for speculative purposes. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in cash from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with the Company’s policy of classifying the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. The Company’s significant contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2013 are summarized in the tables that follow.

Commodity Risk Management

The Company selectively enters into commodity swaps to effectively fix certain variable raw material costs. These swaps are used purely to stabilize the cost of components used in the production of certain of the Company’s products. The Company generally accounts for the commodity swaps as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the contracts primarily through AOCI based on the tested effectiveness of the commodity swaps. The Company measures the effectiveness of cash flow hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be deferred in AOCI and released and recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction is recorded. The time value component of the fair value of the derivative is deemed ineffective and is reported currently in “Interest expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with the Company’s policy of classifying the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.

At June 30, 2013, deferred net losses on derivative instruments of $5.0 million, which were recorded in AOCI, are expected to be reclassified to current earnings during the next twelve months. This reclassification is primarily due to the sale of inventory that includes hedged purchases and recognized interest expense on interest rate swaps. The maximum term over which the Company is hedging exposures to variability of cash flows (for all forecasted transactions, excluding interest payments on variable interest rate debt) is eighteen months. Overall, the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are highly effective. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with the Company’s policy of classifying the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.

Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations

The Company has significant investments in foreign subsidiaries. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates. Currently, the Company uses both non-derivative financial instruments, including foreign currency denominated debt held at the parent company level and derivative financial instruments to hedge some of this exposure. Translation gains and losses related to the net assets of the foreign subsidiaries are offset by gains and losses in the non-derivative and derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of net investments, which are included in AOCI.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had Swiss franc-denominated and Japanese yen-denominated debt and cross currency basis swaps denominated in euro and Swiss franc to hedge the currency exposure related to a designated portion of the net assets of its European, Swiss and Japanese subsidiaries. The fair value of the cross currency interest rate swap agreements is the estimated amount the Company would (pay) receive at the reporting date, taking into account the effective interest rates, currency swap basis rates and foreign exchange rates. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the estimated net fair values of the cross currency interest rate swap agreements was a liability of $11.1 million and a liability of $90.7 million, respectively, which are recorded in AOCI, net of tax effects. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the accumulated translation gain (loss) on investments in foreign subsidiaries, primarily denominated in euros, Swiss francs, Japanese yen and Swedish kronor, net of these net investment hedges, were losses of $143.4 million and $71.4 million, respectively, which were included in AOCI, net of tax effects.

Fair Value Hedges

The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its fixed interest rate debt to variable interest rate debt. The Company has a group of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps with an initial total notional value of $150.0 million to effectively convert the underlying fixed interest rate of 4.1% on the Company’s $250.0 million Private Placement Notes (“PPN”) to variable rate for a term of five years, ending February 2016. The notional value of the swaps will decline proportionately as portions of the PPN mature. These interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges of the interest rate risk associated with the hedged portion of the fixed rate PPN. Accordingly, the Company will carry the portion of the hedged debt at fair value, with the change in debt and swaps offsetting each other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2013, the estimated net fair value of these interest rate swaps was an asset of $3.2 million.

Balance Sheet Offsetting

Substantially all of the Company’s derivative contracts are subject to netting arrangements, whereby the right to offset occurs in the event of default or termination in accordance with the terms of the arrangements with the counterparty. While these contracts contain the enforceable right to offset through netting arrangements, the Company elects to present them on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company records financial instruments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses related to certain financial instruments reflected in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  In addition, the Company recognizes certain liabilities at fair value.  The Company applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements.  Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The Company believes the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts), prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The Company estimated the fair value and carrying value of total long-term debt, including the current portion, was $1,480.0 million and $1,450.3 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013.   At December 31, 2012, the Company estimated the fair value and carrying value, including the current portion, was $1,515.2 million and $1,472.9 million respectively.  The interest rate on the $450.0 million Senior Notes, the $300.0 million Senior Notes, and the $250.0 million PPN are fixed rates of 4.1%, 2.8% and 4.1%, respectively, and their fair value is based on the interest rates as of June 30, 2013. The interest rates on variable rate term loan debt and commercial paper are consistent with current market conditions, therefore the fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying values.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which are classified as “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Prepaid expenses and other current assets,” “Other noncurrent assets, net,” “Accrued liabilities,” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value as of the balance sheet date are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, future commodities prices and credit risks.  The commodity contracts, certain interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts are considered cash flow hedges and certain cross currency interest rate swaps are considered hedges of net investments in foreign operations as discussed in Note 10, Financial Instruments and Derivatives.

The Company uses the income method valuation technique to estimate the fair value of the DIO corporate bonds.  The significant unobservable inputs for valuing the corporate bonds are DIO Corporation’s stock volatility factor of approximately 40% and corporate bond rating which implies approximately a 15% discount rate on the valuation model.  Significant observable inputs used to value the corporate bonds include foreign exchange rates and DIO Corporation’s period-ending market stock price.

The Company has valued the DIO equity option contracts using a Monte Carlo simulation which uses several estimates and probability assumptions by management including the future stock price, the stock price as a multiple of DIO earnings and the probability of the sellers to reduce their shares held by selling into the open market.  The fair value of equity option contracts are reported in “Other noncurrent liabilities,” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in the fair value are reported in “Other expense (income), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

Uncertainties in Income Taxes

The Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.

It is reasonably possible that certain amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Expiration of statutes of limitation in various jurisdictions during the next twelve months could include unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.8 million.

NOTE 13 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company performed the required annual impairment tests of goodwill as of April 30, 2013 on thirteen reporting units. To determine the fair value of the Company’s reporting units, the Company uses a discounted cash flow model with market-based support as its valuation technique to measure the fair value for its reporting units. The discounted cash flow model uses five-year forecasted cash flows plus a terminal value based on a multiple of earnings. In addition, the Company applies gross margin and operating expense assumptions consistent with historical trends. The total cash flows were discounted based on a range between 8.4% to 11.5%, which included assumptions regarding the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. The Company considered the current market conditions both in the U.S. and globally, when determining its assumptions. Lastly, the Company reconciled the aggregated fair values of its reporting units to its market capitalization, which included a reasonable control premium based on market conditions. As a result of the annual impairment tests of goodwill, no impairment was identified.

A reconciliation of changes in the Company’s goodwill is as follows:

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

On June 18, 2004, Marvin Weinstat, DDS and Richard Nathan, DDS filed a class action suit in San Francisco County, California alleging that the Company misrepresented that its Cavitron® ultrasonic scalers are suitable for use in oral surgical procedures. The Complaint seeks a recall of the product and refund of its purchase price to dentists who have purchased it for use in oral surgery. The Court certified the case as a class action in June 2006 with respect to the breach of warranty and unfair business practices claims. The class that was certified is defined as California dental professionals who, at any time during the period beginning June 18, 2000 through September 14, 2012, purchased and used one or more Cavitron® ultrasonic scalers for the performance of oral surgical procedures on their patients, which Cavitrons® were accompanied by Directions for Use that “Indicated” Cavitron® use for “periodontal debridement for all types of periodontal disease.” A Class Notice was mailed on September 14, 2012. The Company is filing a Motion for Decertification which will be the subject of a hearing in mid-August. The case is currently scheduled for trial in September 2013.

On December 12, 2006, a Complaint was filed by Carole Hildebrand, DDS and Robert Jaffin, DDS in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the Plaintiffs subsequently added Dr. Mitchell Goldman as a named class representative).  The case was filed by the same law firm that filed the Weinstat case in California.  The Complaint asserts putative class action claims on behalf of dentists located in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Complaint seeks damages and asserts that the Company’s Cavitron® ultrasonic scaler was negligently designed and sold in breach of contract and warranty arising from misrepresentations about the potential uses of the product because it cannot assure the delivery of potable or sterile water. Following dismissal of the case for lack of jurisdiction, the plaintiffs filed a second complaint under the name of Dr. Hildebrand’s corporate practice. The Company’s motion to dismiss this new complaint was denied and the case will now proceed under the name “Center City Periodontists.” The Court recently granted the Company’s Motion and dismissed plaintiffs’ New Jersey Consumer Fraud and negligent design claims, leaving only a breach of express warranty claim.

The Company does not believe a loss is probable related to the above litigation. Further a reasonable estimate of a possible range of loss cannot be made. In the event that one or more of these matters is unfavorably resolved, it is possible the Company’s results from operations could be materially impacted.

In 2012, the Company received subpoenas from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana (the “USAO”) and from the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) requesting documents and information related to compliance with export controls and economic sanctions regulations by certain of its subsidiaries. The Company has voluntarily contacted OFAC and the Bureau of Industry and Security of the United States Department of Commerce (“BIS”), in connection with these matters as well as regarding compliance with export controls and economic sanctions regulations by certain other business units of the Company identified in connection with an ongoing internal review by the Company. The Company is cooperating with the USAO, OFAC and BIS with respect to these matters.


33



At this stage of the inquiries, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters or what impact, if any, the outcome of these matters might have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Violations of export control or economic sanctions laws or regulations could result in a range of governmental enforcement actions, including fines or penalties, injunctions and/or criminal or other civil proceedings, which actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. At this time, no claims have been made against the Company.

In addition to the matters disclosed above, the Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings incidental to its business.  These legal matters primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of the Company’s products and services and claims relating to intellectual property matters, employment matters, tax matters, commercial disputes, competition and sales and trading practices, personal injury and insurance coverage.  The Company may also become subject to lawsuits as a result of past or future acquisitions or as a result of liabilities retained from, or representations, warranties or indemnities provided in connection with, divested businesses.  Some of these lawsuits may include claims for punitive and consequential, as well as compensatory damages.  Based upon the Company’s experience, current information and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

While the Company maintains general, products, property, workers’ compensation, automobile, cargo, aviation, crime, fiduciary and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance up to certain limits that cover certain of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses.  In addition, while the Company believes it is entitled to indemnification from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may also be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses.

Purchase Commitments

From time to time, the Company enters into long-term inventory purchase commitments with minimum purchase requirements for raw materials and finished goods to ensure the availability of products for production and distribution.  These commitments may have a significant impact on levels of inventory maintained by the Company.

Adjusted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, were $1.18 in 2013 and $1.14 in the same 2012 period.

Operating cash flow in the first six months of 2013 was $132 million, a 28% increase versus $103 million for the first six months 2012.

Company Profile

DENTSPLY International Inc. is a leading manufacturer and distributor of dental and other consumable medical device products.  The Company believes it is the world’s largest manufacturer of consumable dental products for the professional dental market.  For over 110 years, DENTSPLY’s commitment to innovation and professional collaboration has enhanced its portfolio of branded consumables and small equipment.  Headquartered in the United States, the Company has global operations with sales in more than 120 countries. The Company also has strategically located distribution centers to enable it to better serve its customers and increase its operating efficiency. While the United States and Europe are the Company’s largest markets, the Company serves all major markets worldwide.

Principal Products

The Company has four principal product categories: 1) Dental Consumable Products; 2) Dental Laboratory Products; 3) Dental Specialty Products; and 4) Consumable Medical Device Products.

Dental consumable products consist of dental sundries and small equipment used in dental offices in the treatment of patients. The Company manufactures a wide variety of different dental sundry consumable products marketed under more than one hundred brand names.  DENTSPLY’s dental sundry products within this category include dental anesthetics, prophylaxis paste, dental sealants, impression materials, restorative materials, tooth whiteners and topical fluoride.  Small equipment products in the dental consumable category consist of various durable goods used in dental offices for treatment of patients.  DENTSPLY’s small equipment products include high and low speed handpieces, intraoral curing light systems, dental diagnostic systems, and ultrasonic scalers and polishers.

DENTSPLY’s products in the dental laboratory products category include dental prosthetics, including artificial teeth, precious metal dental alloys, dental ceramics and crown and bridge materials. Equipment in this category includes computer aided machining (CAM) ceramic systems and porcelain furnaces.

35




Dental specialty products are specialized treatment products used within the dental office and laboratory settings.  DENTSPLY’s products in this category include endodontic (root canal) instruments and materials, implants and related products, bone grafting materials, 3D digital implantology, dental lasers and orthodontic appliances and accessories.

Consumable medical device products consist mainly of urological products including catheters, certain surgical products, medical drills and other non-medical products.

Principal Measurements

The principal measurements used by the Company in evaluating its business are: (1) internal growth by geographic region; (2) constant currency growth by geographic region; (3) operating margins of each reportable segment including product pricing and cost controls; (4) the development, introduction and contribution of innovative new products; and (5) growth through acquisition.

The Company defines “internal growth” as the increase or decrease in net sales from period to period, excluding (1) precious metal content; (2) the impact of changes in currency exchange rates; and (3) net acquisition growth. The Company defines “net acquisition growth” as the net sales for a period of twelve months following the transaction date of businesses that have been acquired, less the net sales for a period of twelve months prior to the transaction date of businesses that have been divested. The Company defines “constant currency growth” as internal growth plus net acquisition growth.

Management believes that internal growth in the range of 3% to 6% is a long-term targeted rate for the Company. The internal growth rate may vary outside of this range based on economic conditions. Historical trends show that growth in the dental industry generally performs better than the overall economy; however, it typically lags the economic trend going into and coming out of slower growth or recessionary periods. Over the past several years, growth in the global dental markets has been restrained by lower market growth in Western Europe compared to historical averages.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s assumptions concerning the growth rates in its markets will continue in the future.  If such rates are less than expected, the Company’s projected growth rates and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Price changes, other marketing and promotional programs offered to customers from time to time, the management of inventory levels by distributors and the implementation of strategic initiatives may impact sales and inventory levels in a given period.

The Company has a focus on minimizing costs and achieving operational efficiencies. Management continues to evaluate the consolidation of operations or functions to reduce costs. In addition, the Company remains focused on enhancing efficiency through expanded use of technology and process improvement initiatives. The Company believes that the benefits from these initiatives will improve the cost structure and help offset areas of rising costs such as energy, employee benefits and regulatory oversight and compliance.

Product innovation is a key component of the Company’s overall growth strategy. New advances in technology are anticipated to have a significant influence on future products in the professional dental and consumable medical device markets in which the Company operates. As a result, the Company continues to pursue research and development initiatives to support technological development, including collaborations with various research institutions and dental schools. In addition, the Company licenses and purchases technologies developed by third parties. Although the Company believes these activities will lead to new innovative dental and consumable medical device products, they involve new technologies and there can be no assurance that commercialized products will be developed.

The Company intends to continue to pursue opportunities to expand the Company’s product offerings through acquisitions. Although the professional dental and the consumable medical device markets in which the Company operates have experienced consolidation, they are still fragmented industries. Management believes that there will continue to be adequate opportunities to participate as a consolidator in the industries for the foreseeable future, however it plans to be very focused in the near-term on the integration of its recent acquisitions and associated debt reduction.

Impact of Foreign Currencies

Due to the international nature of DENTSPLY’s business, movements in foreign exchange rates may impact the consolidated statements of operations. With approximately two-thirds of the Company’s sales located in regions outside the United States, the Company’s consolidated net sales are impacted negatively by the strengthening or positively by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against various foreign currencies. Additionally, movements in certain foreign exchange rates may unfavorably or favorably impact the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts

In the first half of 2013, the Company realigned certain implant and implant related businesses as a result of changes to the business structure. The segment information below reflects the revised structure for all periods shown.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2012

Net Sales

Management believes that the presentation of net sales, excluding precious metal content, provides useful information to investors because a significant portion of DENTSPLY’s net sales is comprised of sales of precious metals generated through sales of the Company’s precious metal dental alloy products, which are used by third parties to construct crown and bridge materials.  Due to the fluctuations of precious metal prices and because the precious metal content of the Company’s sales is largely a pass-through to customers and has minimal effect on earnings, DENTSPLY reports net sales both with and without precious metal content to show the Company’s performance independent of precious metal price volatility and to enhance comparability of performance between periods.  The Company uses its cost of precious metal purchased as a proxy for the precious metal content of sales, as the precious metal content of sales is not separately tracked and invoiced to customers.  The Company believes that it is reasonable to use the cost of precious metal content purchased in this manner since precious metal dental alloy sale prices are typically adjusted when the prices of underlying precious metals change.

The presentation of net sales, excluding precious metal content, is considered a measure not calculated in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”), and is therefore considered a non-US GAAP measure.  The Company provides the following reconciliation of net sales to net sales, excluding precious metal content.  The Company’s definitions and calculations of net sales, excluding precious metal content, and other operating measures derived using net sales, excluding precious metal content, may not necessarily be the same as those used by other companies.

United States

Net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased by 6.2% in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012, led by strong internal sales growth in dental specialty products.

37



Europe

Net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased by 1.1% in the second quarter of 2013 on a constant currency basis, including 1.0% of internal sales growth. The internal growth reflects growth in sales of dental consumable and dental laboratory products, while sales of dental specialty products contracted slightly.

All Other Regions

Net sales, excluding precious metal content, in the other regions of the world increased by 0.9% in the second quarter of 2013 on a constant currency and internal sales growth basis primarily due to the increased demand for dental consumable products. Growth was negatively impacted by the Company's strategic decision in the second quarter to modify its distribution channel in the Middle East by discontinuing sales to certain dealers in the region.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense for the second quarter of 2013 was $3.0 million lower compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The net decrease is a result of lower average debt levels in 2013 compared to the same period of 2012 and non-cash fair value adjustments of $1.1 million related to cross currency basis swaps designated as net investment hedges and credit risk adjustment on the fair value of the Company’s total hedge portfolio.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Other expense (income), net in the second quarter of 2013 was $3.2 million higher compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. Other expense (income), net in the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $4.2 million is comprised primarily of $2.8 million of non-cash charges relating to fair value adjustments on cross currency basis swaps not designated as hedges that offset currency risk on intercompany loans and $1.1 million currency transaction losses. Other expense (income), net in the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.0 million including $0.6 million of currency transaction losses.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 20.9% and 15.6%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months of 2013 was favorably impacted by the Company’s post-acquisition restructuring activities. The second quarter of 2012 included a favorable impact to the tax rate of $5.5 million as a result of a favorable resolution of tax contingencies that did not impact the same period in 2013.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for 2013 includes the impact of amortization on purchased intangibles assets, integration and restructuring and other costs, income related to credit risk adjustments on outstanding derivatives and various income tax adjustments which impacted income before income taxes and the provision for income taxes by $15.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively.  

In 2012, the Company’s effective income tax rate included the impact of amortization on purchased intangibles assets, integration and restructuring and other costs and various income tax adjustments which impacted income before income taxes and the provision for income taxes by $20.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively.

Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated affiliated company

The Company’s 17% ownership investment of DIO Corporation (“DIO”) resulted in a net income of $2.2 million and $1.3 million on an after-tax basis for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The equity earnings of DIO includes the result of mark-to-market changes related to the derivative accounting for the convertible bonds issued by DIO to DENTSPLY.  The Company’s portion of the mark-to-market net income recorded by DIO for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 was approximately $2.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Net Income attributable to DENTSPLY International

In addition to the results reported in accordance with US GAAP, the Company provides adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share. The Company discloses adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International to allow investors to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period and certain large non-cash charges related to purchased intangible assets. The Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding underlying operating trends and cash flow generation. The adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International consists of net income attributable to DENTSPLY International adjusted to exclude the impact of the following:

(1) Acquisition related costs. These adjustments include costs related to integrating recently acquired businesses and specific costs related to the consummation of the acquisition process. These costs are irregular in timing and as such may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends.
(2) Restructuring and other costs, including legal settlements. These adjustments include both costs and income that are irregular in timing, amount and impact to the Company’s financial performance. As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and are therefore excluded for the purpose of understanding underlying operating trends.
(3) Amortization of purchased intangible assets. This adjustment excludes the periodic amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets. Following a significant acquisition in 2011, the Company began recording large non-cash charges related to the values attributed to purchased intangible assets. These charges have been excluded from adjusted net income attributed to DENTSPLY International to allow investors to evaluate and understand operating trends excluding these large non-cash charges.
(4) Income related to credit risk and fair value adjustments. These adjustments include both the cost and income impacts of adjustments in certain assets and liabilities that are recorded through net income which are due solely to the changes in fair value and credit risk. These items can be variable and driven more by market conditions than the Company’s operating performance. As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and therefore are excluded for comparability purposes.
(5) Certain fair value adjustments at an unconsolidated affiliated company. This adjustment represents the fair value adjustment of the unconsolidated affiliated company’s convertible debt instrument held by the Company. The affiliate is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The fair value adjustment is driven by open market pricing of the affiliate’s equity instruments, which has a high degree of variability and may not be indicative of the operating performance of the affiliate or the Company.
(6) Income tax related adjustments. These adjustments include both income tax expenses and income tax benefits that are representative of income tax adjustments mostly related to prior periods, as well as the final settlement of income tax audits. These adjustments are irregular in timing and amount and may significantly impact the Company’s operating performance. As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and therefore are excluded for comparability purposes.
Adjusted earnings per diluted common share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. Adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share are considered measures not calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and therefore are non-US GAAP measures. These non-US GAAP measures may differ from other companies. Income tax related adjustments may include the impact to adjust the interim effective income tax rate to the expected annual effective tax rate. The non-US GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $3.9 million lower compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The net decrease is a result of lower average debt levels in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, partially offset by non-cash fair value adjustments of $1.6 million related to cross currency basis swaps designated as net investment hedges and a credit risk adjustment on the fair value of the Company’s total hedge portfolio.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the first six months of 2013 and 2012 was 14.1% and 17.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months of 2013 was favorably impacted by the Company’s post-acquisition restructuring activities and the recording of tax benefits of $9.4 million related to U.S. federal legislative changes enacted in January 2013, relating to 2012, a benefit of $1.4 million related to the settlement of various tax matters and a benefit of $1.9 million related to prior year tax matters. During the first six months of 2012, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $6.9 million as a result of favorable resolution of tax contingencies.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for 2013 includes the impact of amortization on purchased intangibles assets, income related to credit risk adjustments on outstanding derivatives, integration and restructuring and other costs and various income tax adjustments which impacted income before income taxes and the provision for income taxes by $34.9 million and $22.3 million, respectively.

In 2012, the Company’s effective income tax rate included the impact of amortization on purchased intangibles assets, integration and restructuring and other costs and various income tax adjustments which impacted income before income taxes and the provision for income taxes by $46.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively.

Equity in net earnings (loss) of unconsolidated affiliated company

The Company’s 17% ownership investment of DIO resulted in net income of $0.4 million on an after-tax basis for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and a net loss of $2.9 million on an after-tax basis for the same period in 2012.  The equity earnings of DIO includes the result of mark-to-market changes related to the derivative accounting for the convertible bonds issued by DIO to DENTSPLY.  The Company’s portion of the mark-to-market gain recorded by DIO for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $0.5 million and a mark-to-market loss recorded by DIO of approximately $3.5 million for the same period in 2012.

Net Income attributable to DENTSPLY International

In addition to the results reported in accordance with US GAAP, the Company provides adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share. The Company discloses adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International to allow investors to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period and certain large non-cash charges related to purchased intangible assets. The Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding underlying operating trends and cash flow generation. The adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International consists of net income attributable to DENTSPLY International adjusted to exclude the impact of the following:

(1) Acquisition related costs. These adjustments include costs related to integrating recently acquired businesses and specific costs related to the consummation of the acquisition process. These costs are irregular in timing and as such may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends.
(2) Restructuring and other costs, including legal settlements. These adjustments include both costs and income that are irregular in timing, amount and impact to the Company’s financial performance. As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and are therefore excluded for the purpose of understanding underlying operating trends.
(3) Amortization of purchased intangible assets. This adjustment excludes the periodic amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets. Following a significant acquisition in 2011, the Company began recording large non-cash charges related to the values attributed to purchased intangible assets. These charges have been excluded from adjusted net income attributed to DENTSPLY International to allow investors to evaluate and understand operating trends excluding these large non-cash charges.
(4) Income related to credit risk and fair value adjustments. These adjustments include both the cost and income impacts of adjustments in certain assets and liabilities that are recorded through net income which are due solely to the changes in fair value and credit risk. These items can be variable and driven more by market conditions than the Company’s operating performance. As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and therefore are excluded for comparability purposes.
(5) Certain fair value adjustments at an unconsolidated affiliated company. This adjustment represents the fair value adjustment of the unconsolidated affiliated company’s convertible debt instrument held by the Company. The affiliate is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The fair value adjustment is driven by open market pricing of the affiliate’s equity instruments, which has a high degree of variability and may not be indicative of the operating performance of the affiliate or the Company.
(6) Income tax related adjustments. These adjustments include both income tax expenses and income tax benefits that are representative of income tax adjustments mostly related to prior periods, as well as the final settlement of income tax audits. These adjustments are irregular in timing and amount and may significantly impact the Company’s operating performance. As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company and therefore are excluded for comparability purposes.
Adjusted earnings per diluted common share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. Adjusted net income attributable to DENTSPLY International and adjusted earnings per diluted common share are considered measures not calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and therefore are non-US GAAP measures. These non-US GAAP measures may differ from other companies. Income tax related adjustments may include the impact to adjust the interim effective income tax rate to the expected annual effective tax rate. The non-US GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Dental Consumable and Laboratory Businesses

Net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased $7.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012.  On a constant currency basis, net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased 1.3% as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to increased sales of dental consumable products partially offset by lower sales of dental laboratory products.

Operating income decreased $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012. SG&A expenses increased $3.0 million in 2013 primarily due to higher pension expense and costs related to a biannual marketing event. Gross profit increased $1.8 million in 2013 primarily due to the sales growth noted above.

Orthodontics/Canada/Mexico/Japan

Net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased $1.7 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012. On a constant currency basis, net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased 4.9% primarily due to increased dental specialty product sales from the orthodontic businesses.

Operating income increased $3.9 million compared to the same year ago period primarily due to lower SG&A expenses in 2013 from improved operating leverage in the orthodontic business as it recovered from a supply outage in 2011 and 2012.

Select Distribution Businesses

Net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012.  On a constant currency basis, net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased 3.0% when compared to the same period of 2012.  The growth was primarily related to increased sales of dental consumable and dental specialty products.

Operating income improved $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012.  Gross profit increased $3.1 million due to higher sales volumes noted above partially offset by higher SG&A expenses in emerging markets.

Implants/Endodontics/Healthcare/Pacific Rim

Net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased $9.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012.  On a constant currency basis, net sales, excluding precious metal content, increased 1.8% primarily driven by sales growth in endodontic and consumable medical device products partially offset by slightly lower sales in implants.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased $0.1 million, compared to 2012. Gross profit decreased $10.5 million as result of the negative sales mix within the segment primarily as a result of the integration of the implant business in Germany, offset by lower SG&A expenses compared to 2012, due to lower integration and marketing expenses.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as noted below, there have been no other significant material changes to the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.



48



Annual Goodwill Impairment Testing

Goodwill is not amortized; instead, it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to sell a business. The valuation date for annual impairment testing is April 30.

The performance of the Company's 2013 annual impairment tests did not result in any impairment of the Company's goodwill. The WACC rates utilized in the 2013 analysis ranged from 8.4% to 11.5%. If the fair value of each of the Company's reporting units had been hypothetically reduced by 10% at April 30, 2013, the fair value of those reporting units would still exceed their net book value. Had the WACC rate of each of the Company's reporting units been hypothetically increased by 50 basis points at April 30, 2013, the fair value of all reporting units still exceed their net book value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Six months ended June 30, 2013

Cash flow from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $131.9 million compared to $103.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net income during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 increased by $25.0 million to $161.3 million compared to the prior year period. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $3.2 million compared to the prior year period. Working capital during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $9.3 million compared to the prior year. On a constant currency basis, as of June 30, 2013, reported days for inventory increased by 10 days to 116 days and accounts receivable increased by 6 days to 59 days, respectively, as compared to December 31, 2012. The Company anticipates that inventory levels may continue to increase slightly for a couple of more quarters and then gradually return to more normal levels during 2014.

Investing activities during the first six months of 2013 include capital expenditures of $45.2 million and the settlement of Swiss franc net investment hedges totaling $87.3 million. The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $100 million for the full year 2013. Financing activities included the buyout of minority shareholders of a consolidated subsidiary for $9.0 million.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had authorization to maintain up to 34.0 million shares of treasury stock under the stock repurchase program as approved by the Board of Directors. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company purchased 1.5 million shares of common stock at cost of $62.3 million at an average price of $41.77 per share.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company held 20.6 million shares of treasury stock. The Company received proceeds of $31.2 million as a result of the exercise of 1.1 million of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company’s total borrowings increased by a net of $19.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. This change included an increase of $40.2 million in short-term commercial paper and a decrease of $20.3 million due to exchange rate fluctuations on debt denominated in foreign currencies. At June 30, 2013, the Company’s ratio of total net debt to total capitalization was 39.3% compared to 39.0% at December 31, 2012. The Company defines net debt as total debt, including current and long-term portions, less cash and cash equivalents and total capitalization as the sum of net debt plus equity.

Under its five-year multi-currency revolving credit agreement, the Company is able to borrow up to $500.0 million through July 27, 2016. The facility is unsecured and contains certain affirmative and negative covenants relating to the operations and financial condition of the Company. The most restrictive of these covenants pertain to asset dispositions and prescribed ratios of indebtedness to total capital and operating income plus depreciation and amortization to interest expense. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Company also has available an aggregate $500.0 million under a U.S. dollar commercial paper facility. The five-year revolver serves as a back-up to the commercial paper facility, thus the total available credit under the commercial paper facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities in the aggregate is $500.0 million. At June 30, 2013, outstanding borrowings were $84.7 million under the multi-currency revolving facility.

The Company also has access to $74.1 million in uncommitted short-term financing under lines of credit from various financial institutions. The lines of credit have no major restrictions and are provided under demand notes between the Company and the lending institutions. At June 30, 2013, the Company had $5.9 million outstanding under these short-term lines of credit. At June 30, 2013, the Company had total unused lines of credit related to the revolving credit agreement and the uncommitted short-term lines of credit of $483.5 million.





49




At June 30, 2013, the Company held $80.1 million of precious metals on consignment from several financial institutions. The consignment agreements allow the Company to acquire the precious metal at market rates at a point in time which is approximately the same time and for the same price as alloys are sold to the Company’s customers. In the event that the financial institutions would discontinue offering these consignment arrangements, and if the Company could not obtain other comparable arrangements, the Company may be required to obtain third party financing to fund an ownership position in the required precious metal inventory levels.

At June 30, 2013, the majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held outside of the United States. Most of these balances could be repatriated to the United States, however, under current law, may potentially be subject to U.S. federal income tax, less applicable foreign tax credits. The Company expects to repatriate its foreign excess free cash flow (the amount in excess of capital investment and acquisition needs), subject to current regulations, in order to repay a portion of its commercial paper. Historically, the Company has generated more than sufficient operating cash flows in the United States to fund domestic operations. Further, the Company expects on an ongoing basis, to be able to finance domestic and international cash requirements, including capital expenditures, stock repurchases, debt service, operating leases and potential future acquisitions, from the funds generated from operations and amounts available under its existing credit facilities. The Company intends to finance the current portion of long-term debt due in 2013 utilizing available commercial paper, cash and other financing.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s scheduled contractual cash obligations disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Commencing at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014, directors succeeding those whose terms are then expired shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the year following the year of their election and until their successors are elected and qualified. Commencing with the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016, the classification of the board of directors shall terminate and all directors shall be of one class. Any additional director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, incapacitation or removal from office. Except as otherwise required by law, any vacancy on the board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the board of directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring in the board of directors shall be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor. A director may be removed only for cause by the stockholders.
6.
The corporation is to have perpetual existence.
7.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the corporation’s by-laws (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the corporation’s by-laws, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the corporation’s by-laws), the corporation’s by-laws may be amended, altered or repealed, and new by-laws enacted, only by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders duly called for such purpose, or by a vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire board of directors then in office.
8.

9.
A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve

3



intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.
10.
The stockholders of the corporation shall have no authority to call a special meeting of the stockholders.
11.
No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation may be taken without a meeting, and the power of the stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

(formerly GENDEX Corporation)

ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS
Section 1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of capital stock having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, special meetings of stockholders of the corporation may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

Section 3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting, or for any special meeting called pursuant to Article I, Section 2, above. A waiver of notice signed by all stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place for the holding of such meeting. If no designation is made, or if a special meeting shall be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the corporation.

Section 4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting either personally or by mail, by or at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the officer or persons calling the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock record books of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

Section 5. Fixing of Record Date.

(a)For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors of the corporation may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders,

July 10, 2013



such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of any proposed meeting of stockholders. In no event shall the stock transfer books be closed. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall be applied to any adjournment thereof.

(b)For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other lawful purpose, the Board of Directors of the corporation may fix a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. In no event shall the stock transfer books be closed.

Section 6. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. Provided that a meeting has been duly convened in accordance herewith, any meeting of the stockholders may be adjourned from time to time without further notice. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. Any meeting (a) at which all of the outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy and at which none of such shares attend for the purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business thereat because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened, or (b) at which all of the outstanding stock has waived notice, or (c) for which notice shall have been duly given as provided herein, shall be deemed a properly constituted meeting of the stockholders.

Section 7. Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder entitled to vote may vote by proxy appointed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation before or at the time of the meeting. An instrument appointing a proxy shall, unless the contrary is stated thereon, be valid only at the meeting for which it has been given or any adjournment thereof.

Section 8. Voting of Shares. At each meeting of stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote thereat shall be entitled to vote in person or by a duly authorized proxy, which proxy may be appointed by an instrument in writing executed by such stockholder or his duly authorized attorney or through electronic means, if applicable, such as the internet. Subject to the provisions of applicable law and the corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of common stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock standing registered in his name at the close of business on the day fixed by the Board of Directors as the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and vote at such meeting. Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by any officer of such corporation or any proxy

iv




appointed by any officer of such corporation in the absence of express notice of such corporation given in writing to the Secretary of this corporation in connection with the particular meeting, that such officer has no authority to vote such shares.

Section 9. List of Stockholders. A complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the ensuing meeting, 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 prepared by the Secretary, or other officer of the corporation having charge of said stock ledger. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during ordinary 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 said meeting is to be held, and the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present.

Section 10. Waiver of Notice by Stockholders. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given to any stockholder of the corporation under the provisions of these By-Laws or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or under the provisions of any statute, a waiver thereof in writing, signed at any time, whether before or after the time of meeting, by the stockholder entitled to such notice, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

Section 11. Advance Notice of Stockholder-Proposed Business at Annual Meetings. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), or (c) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 11 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 11.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation.

v

Except as provided in Section 8 of Article II of these bylaws, a nominee for director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of stockholders for which (i) the Secretary of the Corporation receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance with the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees for director set forth in Article I, Section 12 of these bylaws and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the fourteenth day before the date the Corporation first mails to the stockholders its notice of such meeting. If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee, but only to withhold their vote.
ARTICLE II

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 1. General Powers. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may adopt, amend or repeal by-laws adopted by the Board or by the stockholders.


viii




Section 2. Number of Directors, Tenure and Qualifications. The number of members of the Board of Directors shall be not less than three (3) nor more than thirteen (13) as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. The directors need not be stockholders of the corporation. The directors shall be divided into three (3) classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third (1/3) of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. Effective immediately upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation dated June 11, 1993, Class I directors shall be elected for a term ending upon the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, Class II directors for a term ending upon the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and Class III directors for a term ending upon the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the annual meeting immediately succeeding the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at such annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class, the term of office for the class of directors elected in 2011 shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014, the term of office for the class of directors elected in 2012 shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2015, and the term of office for the class of directors elected in 2013 shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016, with the members of each class to hold office until their successors are elected and qualified. Commencing at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014, directors succeeding those whose terms are then expired shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the year following the year of their election and until their successors are elected and qualified. Commencing with the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016, the classification of the board of directors shall terminate and all directors shall be of one class. Any additional director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such classthe number of directors shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that classuntil the next annual meeting of stockholders, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, incapacitation or removal from office, and except as otherwise required by law. In the event such election is not held at the annual meeting of stockholders, it shall be held at any adjournment thereof or a special meeting. Except as otherwise required by law, any vacancy on the board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the board of directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring in the board of directors shall be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor. A director may be removed only for cause by the stockholders.

Section 3. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held without any other notice than this By-Law immediately after, and at the same place as,

ix




the annual meeting of stockholders, and each adjourned session thereof. The Board of Directors may designate the time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such designation.
Section 4. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or by members of the Board of Directors constituting no less than three-fourths (3/4) of the total number of directors then in office. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix any place either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by them.

Section 5. Notice. Notice of any special meeting shall be given at least five (5) days previously thereto by written notice delivered or mailed to each director at his last known address, or at least forty-eight (48) hours previously thereto by personal delivery or by facsimile to a telephone number provided to the corporation. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice is given by facsimile, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when transmitted with receipt confirmed. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given to any director of the corporation under the provisions of these By-Laws or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or under the provisions of any statute, a waiver thereof in writing, signed at any time, whether before or after the time of meeting, by the director entitled to such notice, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a director attends a meeting and objects thereat 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 Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

Section 6. Quorum. Two-Thirds (2/3) of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors.

    Section 7. Manner of Acting. The act of the majority of the directors then in office shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by these By-Laws or By-Law.

Section 8. Vacancies. Except as otherwise required by law, any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors shall be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor. The resignation of a director shall be effective upon receipt by the corporation, unless some subsequent time is fixed in the resignation, and then from that time. Acceptance of such resignation by the corporation shall not be required.


x




Section 9. Compensation. The Board of Directors, by affirmative vote of a majority of the directors, and irrespective of any personal interest of any of its members, may establish reasonable compensation of all directors for services to the corporation as directors, officers or otherwise, or may delegate such authority to an appropriate committee.

Section 10. Presumption of Assent. A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

Section 11. Committees. The Board of Directors by resolution may designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist of one (1) or more directors elected by the Board of Directors, which to the extent provided in such resolution, as initially adopted, and as thereafter supplemented or amended by further resolution adopted by a like vote, shall have and may exercise, when the Board of Directors is not in session, the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, except action with respect to amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, adoption of an agreement of merger or consolidation (other than the adoption of a Certificate of Ownership and Merger in accordance with Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as such law may be amended or supplemented), recommendation to the stockholders of the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporation’s property or assets, recommendation to the stockholders of the dissolution or the revocation of a dissolution of the corporation, election of officers or the filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors or on committees created pursuant to this Section or declaration of dividends. The Board of Directors may elect one (1) or more of its members as alternate members of any such committee who may take the place of any absent or disqualified member or members at any meeting of such committee, upon request by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or upon request by the chairman of such meeting. Each such committee may fix its own rules governing the conduct of its activities and shall make such reports to the Board of Directors of its activities as the Board of Directors may request.
    
Section 12. Removal of Directors. Exclusive of directors, if any, elected by the holders of one (1) or more classes of preferred stock, no director of the corporation may be removed from office, except for cause and by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders duly called for such purpose. As used in this Article II, the meaning of “cause” shall be limited to malfeasance arising from the performance of a director’s duty which has a materially adverse effect on the business of the corporation.

Section 13. Action of the Board by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof if prior to such action a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board or of the committee, as the

xi




case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or the committee.
Section 14. Conferences. Members of the Board of Directors or any committee designated by the Board may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 14 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

ARTICLE IV

STOCK AND TRANSFER OF STOCK

Section 1. Shares of Stock. The shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be represented by a certificate, unless and until the Board of Directors of the corporation adopts a resolution permitting shares to be uncertificated. Notwithstanding the adoption of any such resolution providing for uncertificated shares, every holder of capital stock of the corporation theretofore represented by certificates and, upon request, every holder of uncertificated shares, shall be entitled to have a certificate for shares of capital stock of the corporation signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the President and by the Secretary. To the extent that shares are represented by certificates, the certificates shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Board of Directors and shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the corporation. With respect to certificated shares of stock, all certificates surrendered to the corporation for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificate or uncertificated shares shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and canceled, except that in case of a lost, destroyed or mutilated certificate, a new certificate or uncertificated shares may be issued therefor upon such terms and indemnity to the corporation as the Board of Directors may prescribe.

Section 2. Transfer of Shares. Stock of the corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by applicable law and in these By-Laws. Transfers of stock shall be made on the books of the corporation, and in the case of certificated shares of stock, only by the person named in the certificate or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of the certificate therefor, properly endorsed for transfer and payment of all necessary transfer taxes; or, in the case of uncertificated shares of stock, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of the shares or by such person’s attorney lawfully

xiv




constituted in writing, and upon payment of all necessary transfer taxes and compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form; provided, however, that such surrender and endorsement, compliance or payment of taxes shall not be required in any case in which the officers of the corporation shall determine to waive such requirement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of a certificate representing shares of capital stock of the corporation or of proper transfer instructions with respect to uncertificated shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner of such shares as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. Where a certificate for shares is presented to the corporation with a request to register for transfer, the corporation shall not be liable to the owner or any other person suffering loss as a result of such registration of transfer if (a) there were on or with the certificate the necessary endorsements, and (b) the corporation had no duty to inquire into adverse claims or has discharged any such duty. The corporation may require reasonable assurance that said endorsements are genuine and effective and in compliance with such other regulations as may be prescribed under the authority of the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS

Section 1. Indemnification Generally. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or is alleged to have violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she 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 reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 2. Indemnification in Actions By or In the Right Of the Corporation. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a

xv




director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense and settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 3. Success on the Merits; Indemnification Against Expenses. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article V, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

Section 4. Determination that Indemnification is Proper. Any indemnification under Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article V, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances under the standard of conduct set forth in such Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article V, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made:

(a)By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding;

(b)If such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

(c) By the stockholders.

Section 5. Insurance; Indemnification Agreements. The corporation may, but shall not be required to, supplement the right of indemnification under this Article V by any lawful means, including, without limitation by reason of enumeration, (i) the purchase and maintenance of insurance on behalf of any one or more of such indemnitees, whether or not the corporation would be obligated to indemnify such person under this Article V or otherwise, and (ii) individual or group indemnification agreements with any one or more of such indemnities.

Section 6. Advancement of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,

xvi




suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as to such amounts.

Section 7. Rights Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article V shall be not deemed exclusive of any other right to which an indemnified person may be entitled under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor provision) or otherwise under applicable law, or under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 8. Severability. To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the indemnification provided under this Article V shall be invalid as applied to a particular claim, issue or matter, the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to allow indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Section 9. Modification. This Article V shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each previous, current or future director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Article V shall be applicable to all actions, claims, suits or proceedings, commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from any action taken or failure to act before or after such adoption. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Article V shall diminish the rights provided hereby or diminish the right to indemnification with respect to any claim, issue or matter in any then pending or subsequent proceeding which is based in any material respect from any alleged action or failure to act prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

Section 3.     Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting, or for any special meeting called pursuant to Article I, Section 2, above.

In no event shall the stock transfer books be closed. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall be applied to any adjournment thereof.

(d)For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other lawful purpose, the Board of Directors of the corporation may fix a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. In no event shall the stock transfer books be closed.

Section 6.     Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. Provided that a meeting has been duly convened in accordance herewith, any meeting of the stockholders may be adjourned from time to time without further notice. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. Any meeting (a) at which all of the outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy and at which none of such shares attend for the purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business thereat because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened, or (b) at which all of the outstanding stock has waived notice, or (c) for which notice shall have been duly given as provided herein, shall be deemed a properly constituted meeting of the stockholders.

Section 7.     Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder entitled to vote may vote by proxy appointed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation before or at the time of the meeting. An instrument appointing a proxy shall, unless the contrary is stated thereon, be valid only at the meeting for which it has been given or any adjournment thereof.

Section 8.     Voting of Shares. At each meeting of stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote thereat shall be entitled to vote in person or by a duly authorized proxy, which proxy may be appointed by an instrument in writing executed by such stockholder or his duly authorized attorney or through electronic means, if applicable, such as the internet. Subject to the provisions of applicable law and the corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of common stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock standing registered in his name at the close of business on the day fixed by the Board of Directors as the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and vote at such

xxi




meeting. Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by any officer of such corporation or any proxy appointed by any officer of such corporation in the absence of express notice of such corporation given in writing to the Secretary of this corporation in connection with the particular meeting, that such officer has no authority to vote such shares.

Section 9.    List of Stockholders. A complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the ensuing meeting, 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 prepared by the Secretary, or other officer of the corporation having charge of said stock ledger. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during ordinary 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 said meeting is to be held, and the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present.

Section 10.    Waiver of Notice by Stockholders. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given to any stockholder of the corporation under the provisions of these By-Laws or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or under the provisions of any statute, a waiver thereof in writing, signed at any time, whether before or after the time of meeting, by the stockholder entitled to such notice, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

Section 11.    Advance Notice of Stockholder-Proposed Business at Annual Meetings. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), or (c) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 11 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 11.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within twenty-five (25) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of

xxii




the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs.
To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below), individually or in the aggregate, including any anticipated benefit to the stockholder or the Stockholder Associated Person therefrom, (ii) the name and record address of such stockholder, (iii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and any Stockholder Associated Person, (A) the class, series and number of all shares of stock of the corporation which are owned by such stockholder and by such Stockholder Associated Person, if any, (B) the nominee holder for, and number of, shares owned beneficially but not of record by such stockholder and by any such Stockholder Associated Person, and (C) any derivative positions held or beneficially held by the stockholder and by any such Stockholder Associated Person and whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered into by or on behalf of, or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares) has been made, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to or manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder or any such Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any share of stock of the corporation; (iv) as to the stockholder giving the notice and any Stockholder Associated Person covered by clause (iii) of this paragraph, the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the corporation’s stock ledger, and current name and address, if different, and of such Stockholder Associated Person; (v) a description of all proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and (vi) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11; provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 11 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the chairman of an annual meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

For purposes of this Section 11 and of Section 12 of this Article I, “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Stockholder Associated Person.

Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the corporation, except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the right of holders of preferred stock of the corporation to nominate and elect a specified number of directors in certain circumstances. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at any annual meeting of stockholders, or at any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (b) by any stockholder of the corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 12 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 12.

xxv




Section 2.     Number of Directors, Tenure and Qualifications. The number of members of the Board of Directors shall be not less than three (3) nor more than thirteen (13), as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. The directors need not be stockholders of the corporation. Effective immediately upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation, the term of office for the class of directors elected in 2011 shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014, the term of office for the class of directors elected in 2012 shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2015, and the term of office for the class of directors elected in 2013 shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016, with the members of each class to hold office until their successors are elected and qualified. Commencing at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014, directors succeeding those whose terms are then expired shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the year following the year of their election and until their successors are elected and qualified. Commencing with the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016, the classification of the board of directors shall terminate and all directors shall be of one class. Any additional director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, incapacitation or removal from office, and except as otherwise required by law. In the event such election is not held at the annual meeting of stockholders, it shall be held at any adjournment thereof or a special meeting. Except as otherwise required by law, any vacancy on the board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the board of directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring in the board of directors shall be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor. A director may be removed only for cause by the stockholders.

Section 3.    Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held without any other notice than this By-Law immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of stockholders, and each adjourned session thereof. The Board of Directors may designate the time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such designation.
Section 4.    Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or by members of the Board of Directors constituting no less than three-fourths (3/4) of the total number of directors then in office. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix any place either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by them.


xxvi




Section 5.    Notice. Notice of any special meeting shall be given at least five (5) days previously thereto by written notice delivered or mailed to each director at his last known address, or at least forty-eight (48) hours previously thereto by personal delivery or by facsimile to a telephone number provided to the corporation. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice is given by facsimile, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when transmitted with receipt confirmed. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given to any director of the corporation under the provisions of these By-Laws or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or under the provisions of any statute, a waiver thereof in writing, signed at any time, whether before or after the time of meeting, by the director entitled to such notice, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a director attends a meeting and objects thereat 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 Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

Section 6.    Quorum. Two-Thirds (2/3) of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors.

Section 7.    Manner of Acting. The act of the majority of the directors then in office shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by these By-Laws or By-Law.

Section 8.     Vacancies. Except as otherwise required by law, any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors shall be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor. The resignation of a director shall be effective upon receipt by the corporation, unless some subsequent time is fixed in the resignation, and then from that time. Acceptance of such resignation by the corporation shall not be required.

Section 9.    Compensation. The Board of Directors, by affirmative vote of a majority of the directors, and irrespective of any personal interest of any of its members, may establish reasonable compensation of all directors for services to the corporation as directors, officers or otherwise, or may delegate such authority to an appropriate committee.

Section 10.    Presumption of Assent. A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

xxvii





Section 11.     Committees. The Board of Directors by resolution may designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist of one (1) or more directors elected by the Board of Directors, which to the extent provided in such resolution, as initially adopted, and as thereafter supplemented or amended by further resolution adopted by a like vote, shall have and may exercise, when the Board of Directors is not in session, the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, except action with respect to amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, adoption of an agreement of merger or consolidation (other than the adoption of a Certificate of Ownership and Merger in accordance with Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as such law may be amended or supplemented), recommendation to the stockholders of the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporation’s property or assets, recommendation to the stockholders of the dissolution or the revocation of a dissolution of the corporation, election of officers or the filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors or on committees created pursuant to this Section or declaration of dividends. The Board of Directors may elect one (1) or more of its members as alternate members of any such committee who may take the place of any absent or disqualified member or members at any meeting of such committee, upon request by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or upon request by the chairman of such meeting. Each such committee may fix its own rules governing the conduct of its activities and shall make such reports to the Board of Directors of its activities as the Board of Directors may request.
    
Section 12.    Removal of Directors. Exclusive of directors, if any, elected by the holders of one (1) or more classes of preferred stock, no director of the corporation may be removed from office, except for cause and by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders duly called for such purpose. As used in this Article II, the meaning of “cause” shall be limited to malfeasance arising from the performance of a director’s duty which has a materially adverse effect on the business of the corporation.

Section 13.    Action of the Board by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof if prior to such action a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board or of the committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or the committee.
Section 14.    Conferences. Members of the Board of Directors or any committee designated by the Board may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 14 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

STOCK AND TRANSFER OF STOCK

Section 1.    Shares of Stock. The shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be represented by a certificate, unless and until the Board of Directors of the corporation adopts a resolution permitting shares to be uncertificated. Notwithstanding the adoption of any such resolution providing for uncertificated shares, every holder of capital stock of the corporation theretofore represented by certificates and, upon request, every holder of uncertificated shares, shall be entitled to have a certificate for shares of capital stock of the corporation signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the President and by the Secretary. To the extent that shares are represented by certificates, the certificates shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Board of Directors and shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the corporation. With respect to certificated shares of stock, all certificates surrendered to the corporation for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificate or uncertificated shares shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and canceled, except that in case of a lost, destroyed or mutilated certificate, a new certificate or uncertificated shares may be issued therefor upon such terms and indemnity to the corporation as the Board of Directors may prescribe.

Section 2.    Transfer of Shares. Stock of the corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by applicable law and in these By-Laws. Transfers of stock shall be made on the books of the corporation, and in the case of certificated shares of stock, only by the person named in the certificate or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of the certificate therefor, properly endorsed for transfer and payment of all necessary transfer taxes; or, in the case of uncertificated shares of stock, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of the shares or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing, and upon payment of all necessary transfer taxes and compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form; provided, however, that such surrender and endorsement, compliance or payment of taxes shall not be required in any case in which the officers of the corporation shall determine to waive such requirement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of a certificate representing shares of capital stock of the corporation or of proper transfer instructions with respect to uncertificated shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner of such shares as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. Where a certificate for shares is presented to the corporation with a request to register for transfer, the corporation shall not be liable to the owner or any other person suffering loss as a result of such registration of transfer if (a) there were on or with the certificate the necessary

xxxi




endorsements, and (b) the corporation had no duty to inquire into adverse claims or has discharged any such duty. The corporation may require reasonable assurance that said endorsements are genuine and effective and in compliance with such other regulations as may be prescribed under the authority of the Board of Directors.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS

Section 1.    Indemnification Generally. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or is alleged to have violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she 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 reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 2.    Indemnification in Actions By or In the Right Of the Corporation. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense and settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 3.     Success on the Merits; Indemnification Against Expenses. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article V, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

Section 4.     Determination that Indemnification is Proper. Any indemnification under Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article V, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances under the standard of conduct set forth in such Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article V, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made:

(d)By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding;

(e)If such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

(f) By the stockholders.

Section 5.    Insurance; Indemnification Agreements. The corporation may, but shall not be required to, supplement the right of indemnification under this Article V by any lawful means, including, without limitation by reason of enumeration, (i) the purchase and maintenance of insurance on behalf of any one or more of such indemnitees, whether or not the corporation would be obligated to indemnify such person under this Article V or otherwise, and (ii) individual or group indemnification agreements with any one or more of such indemnities.

Section 6.    Advancement of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as to such amounts.

Section 7.     Rights Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article V shall be not deemed exclusive of any other right to which an indemnified person may be entitled under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor provision) or otherwise under applicable law, or under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office and shall

xxxiii




continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 8.    Severability. To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the indemnification provided under this Article V shall be invalid as applied to a particular claim, issue or matter, the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to allow indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Section 9.     Modification. This Article V shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each previous, current or future director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Article V shall be applicable to all actions, claims, suits or proceedings, commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from any action taken or failure to act before or after such adoption. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Article V shall diminish the rights provided hereby or diminish the right to indemnification with respect to any claim, issue or matter in any then pending or subsequent proceeding which is based in any material respect from any alleged action or failure to act prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.
