The Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, ~~July~~June 20, ~~2012,~~2014, at 10 a.m., Beijing time, at the principal office the Company located at 18th Floor, Jialong International Building, 19 Chaoyang Park Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100125, People’s Republic of China.

It is anticipated that the ~~full set of proxy materials, including~~ Notice of ~~Annual Meeting, Amended~~Internet Availability of Proxy ~~Statement, and the Blue Proxy Card will~~Materialswill be mailed to stockholders on or about ~~July 2, 2012.~~April 29, 2014.

You have received this ~~Amended~~ Proxy Statement and our ~~2011~~2013 annual report (the “~~Annual Report~~”“Annual Report”) because our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. This ~~Amended~~ Proxy Statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“~~SEC~~”SEC”) and that is designed to assist you in voting your shares.

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will act upon the matters described in this ~~Amended~~ Proxy Statement. These actions include the election of ~~directors;~~three director nominees listed in this Proxy Statement to the Board of Directors as Class II directors¹; ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm (which we sometimes refer to as the “~~independent auditors~~”“independent auditors”); and an advisory (that is, non-binding) vote on executive ~~compensation; adoption of certain amendments to the company’s currently effective Certificate of Incorporation (the “~~~~Certificate of Incorporation~~~~”); and adoption of certain amendments to the Company’s currently effective Bylaws (the “~~~~Bylaws~~~~”).~~compensation. An additional purpose of the Annual Meeting is to transact any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any and all adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

All stockholders of record at the close of business on ~~June 8, 2012~~April 22, 2014 (the “~~Record Date~~”“Record Date”), or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the Annual Meeting.

The Board knows of no other matters that are likely to be brought before the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, however, the persons named in the enclosed proxy, or their duly appointed substitute acting at the Annual Meeting, will be authorized to vote or otherwise act on those matters in accordance with their judgment.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on ~~June 8, 2012,~~April 22, 2014, which we refer to as the Record Date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were ~~26,538,625~~23,419,093 shares of our common stock outstanding. Holders of common stock as of the Record Date are entitled to one vote for each share held for each of the proposals. No other class of voting securities is outstanding on the date of mailing of this ~~Amended~~ Proxy Statement.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” This proxy and our Annual Report have been sent directly to you by us.

Beneficial Owner. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name. This proxy and the Annual Report have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares by using the voting instructions included in with your proxy materials.

Whether you hold shares directly as a registered stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may vote without attending the Annual Meeting. You may vote by granting a proxy or, for shares held beneficially in street name, by submitting voting instructions to your stockbroker, trustee or nominee. In most cases, you will be able to do this by using the Internet or telephone or by ~~mail.~~mail, if you received a printed set of the proxy materials.

By Internet – If you have Internet access, you may submit your proxy via the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders accompanying this Proxy Statement (the “Notice”), or if you received a printed version of the proxy materials by mail, by following the instructions provided with your proxy materials and on your proxy card or voting instruction card.

By Telephone or Mail – ~~You~~If you received printed proxy materials, you may submit your proxy by telephone by following the instructions provided on your proxy card or voting instruction card. If you received a Notice, you may submit your proxy by telephone after accessing the proxy materials via the Internet. You may also submit your proxy by mail by signing your proxy card if your shares are registered or, for shares held beneficially in street name, by following the voting instructions included by your stockbroker, trustee or nominee, and mailing it in the envelope provided. If you provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as you have instructed. Voting by telephone is not available to persons outside of the United States.

Telephone and Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Beijing time, on ~~July~~June 19, ~~2012.~~2014.

If you vote by proxy, the individuals named on the proxy card (your “~~proxies~~”“proxies”) will vote your shares in the manner you indicate. You may specify how your shares should be voted for each of the proposals. If you grant a proxy without indicating your instructions, your shares will be voted as follows:

The blue proxy card (the “Blue Proxy Card”) being sent to you with this full set of proxy materials replaces the white proxy card sent to you on or about May 2, 2012 (the “White Proxy Card”) and proxies granted on the White Proxy Card will not be counted at the Annual Meeting. Any vote cast over the Internet or by telephone prior to the date of the definitive Amended Proxy Statement will not be counted. If you have already voted over the Internet or by telephone, you must revote in such manner prior to the Annual Meeting in order for your vote to be counted.

A quorum is the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of the common stock entitled to vote. Under Delaware law, an abstaining vote and a broker “non-vote” are counted as present and are, therefore, included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares does not have the authority to vote on the matter with respect to those shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Proposal No. 2 (ratification of auditors) involves a matter that we believe will be considered routine. All other proposals involve matters that we believe will be considered non-routine. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided on your proxy card.

For the purpose of determining whether the stockholders have approved matters other than the election of directors, abstentions are treated as shares present or represented and voting, so abstaining has the same effect as a negative vote.

If stockholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and do not instruct them how to vote, the broker ~~may have~~has authority to vote the shares for routine matters.

Stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors, which means that each stockholder may vote no more than the number of shares he or she owns for a single director nominee.

How will shares of common stock represented by properly executed proxies be voted?

All shares of common stock represented by proper proxies will, unless such proxies have previously been revoked, be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as set forth herein. In addition, if any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy, or their duly appointed substitute acting at the Annual Meeting, will be authorized to vote or otherwise act on those matters in accordance with their judgment.

Any stockholder executing a proxy has the power to revoke such proxy at any time prior to your shares being voted. You may revoke your proxy prior to your shares being voted by calling 1-866-752-VOTE (8683), or by accessing the Internet website https://www.iproxydirect.com/CBPO, or in writing by execution of a subsequently dated proxy, or by a written notice of revocation, sent to the attention of the Corporate Secretary at China Biologic Products, Inc., 18th Floor, Jialong International Building, 19 Chaoyang Park Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing ~~10012,~~100125, People’s Republic of China, or by attending and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Unless revoked, the shares represented by timely received proxies ~~via the mailed Blue Proxy Card or other methods according to instructions herein,~~ will be voted in accordance with the directions given therein. Your most current proxy card or telephone or Internet proxy is the one that is counted.

The Blue Proxy Card being sent to you replaces the White Proxy Card sent to you on or about May 2, 2012 and proxies granted on the White Proxy Card will not be counted at the Annual Meeting. Any vote cast over the Internet or by telephone prior to the date of the definitive Amended Proxy Statement will not be counted. If you have already voted over the Internet or by telephone, you must revote in such manner prior to the Annual Meeting in order for your vote to be counted.

If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any subsequent reconvening of the Annual Meeting, all proxies granted according to the instructions set forth herein will be voted in the same manner as the proxies would have been voted at the previously convened Annual Meeting (except for any proxies that have at that time effectively been revoked or withdrawn), even if the proxies had been effectively voted on the same or any other matter at a previous Annual Meeting.

In addition to the mail solicitation of proxies, our officers, directors, employees and agents may solicit proxies by written communication, telephone or personal call. These persons will receive no special compensation for any solicitation activities. We will reimburse banks, brokers and other persons holding common stock for their expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation materials to beneficial owners of our common stock.

The cost of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing this ~~Amended~~ Proxy Statement and other material furnished to stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies is borne by us.

The SEC has adopted rules that allow a company to deliver a single proxy statement or annual report to an address shared by two or more of its stockholders. This method of delivery, known as “householding,” permits us to realize significant cost savings, reduces the amount of duplicate information stockholders receive, and reduces the environmental impact of printing and mailing documents to you. Under this process, certain stockholders of record who do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of our proxy materials and any additional proxy materials that are delivered until such time as one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they want to receive separate copies.

Any stockholders who wish to opt out of, or wish to begin, householding may contact our Corporate Secretary through one of the following methods:

Yes. You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were, or you hold a valid legal proxy naming you to act for, one of our stockholders on the Record Date. Before we admit you to the Annual Meeting, we must be able to confirm:

If you do not have a valid form of photo identification and proof that you owned, or are legally authorized to act as proxy for someone who owned shares of our common stock on ~~June 8, 2012,~~April 22, 2014, you will not be admitted to the Annual Meeting.

At the entrance to the Annual Meeting, we will verify that your name appears in our stock records or will inspect your brokerage or bank statement, as your proof of ownership, and any written proxy you present as the representative of a stockholder. We will decide in our sole discretion whether the documentation you present for admission to the Annual Meeting meets the requirements described above.

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final results will be published in our current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the date of the Annual Meeting, provided that the final results are available at such time. In the event the final results are not available within such time period, the preliminary voting results will be published in our current report on Form 8-K to be filed within such time period, and the final results will be published in an amended current report on Form 8-K/A to be filed within four business days after the final results are available.

Can I receive future stockholder communications electronically through the Internet?

Yes. You may elect to receive future notices of meetings, proxy materials and annual reports electronically through the Internet. To consent to electronic delivery, vote your shares using the Internet. At the end of the Internet voting procedure, the on-screen Internet voting instructions will tell you how to request future stockholder communications be sent to you electronically.

Once you consent to electronic delivery, you must vote your shares using the Internet and your consent will remain in effect until withdrawn. You may withdraw this consent at any time during the voting process and resume receiving stockholder communications in print form.

If you have any questions about giving your proxy or require any assistance, please contact our Corporate Secretary:

Our current corporate governance practices and policies are designed to promote stockholder value and we are committed to the highest standards of corporate ethics and diligent compliance with financial accounting and reporting rules. Our Board provides independent leadership in the exercise of its responsibilities. Our management oversees a system of internal controls and compliance with corporate policies and applicable laws and regulations, and our employees operate in a climate of responsibility, candor and integrity.

We and our Board are committed to high standards of corporate governance as an important component in building and maintaining stockholder value. To this end, we regularly review our corporate governance policies and practices to ensure that they are consistent with our high standards. We also closely monitor guidance issued or proposed by the SEC and the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as the emerging best practices of other companies. The current corporate governance guidelines are available on our website athttp://www.chinabiologic.com. Printed copies of our corporate governance guidelines may be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Corporate Secretary, China Biologic Products, Inc., 18^th18th Floor, Jialong International Building, 19 Chaoyang Park Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing ~~10012,~~100125, People’s Republic of China.

We are governed by a Board that currently consists of nine members as identified above. Our ~~board of directors~~Board currently has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee, which, pursuant to delegated authority, perform various duties on behalf of and report to the Board. Each of these Committees is comprised entirely of directors who are independent ~~directors.~~under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. From time to time, the Board may establish other committees. Each of the Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee were formed on August 7, 2008 and the Audit Committee was formed on July 24, 2008. The Board has adopted a written charter for each of the committees which are available on our website at http://www.chinabiologic.com.

Our Audit Committee is currently composed of three members: Mr. Sean Shao, ~~Ms. Sandy (Han) Zhang and~~ Dr. Yungang ~~Lu.~~Lu and Mr. Albert (Wai Keung) Yeung. Mr. Shao serves as Chair of the Audit Committee. Our Board determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence criteria prescribed by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for audit committee membership and is an “independent” director within the meaning of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Each Audit Committee member also meets NASDAQ’s financial literacy requirements.

~~Mr. David (Xiaoying) Gao served as a member of the Audit Committee from October 6, 2011 until his assumption of the Chief Executive Officer position on May 10, 2012.~~

Our Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements. It is responsible for, among other things:

Our Board has determined that Mr. Shao is the “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC and also meets NASDAQ’s financial sophistication requirements.

Our Compensation Committee is currently composed of three members: Mr. Sean Shao, Prof. Wenfang Liu and Dr. Yungang Lu, each of whom is “independent” within the meaning of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Mr. Shao serves as Chair of the Compensation Committee.

~~Mr. David (Xiaoying) Gao served as Chair of the Compensation Committee from October 6, 2011 until his assumption of the Chief Executive Officer position on May 10, 2012.~~

Our Compensation Committee assists the Board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure of executive officers, including all forms of compensation to be provided to our executive officers. Our ~~Chief Executive Officer~~CEO may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated.

Our Governance and Nominating Committee is currently composed of three members: Mr. Sean Shao, Mr. Zhijun Tong and Dr. Yungang Lu, each of whom is “independent” within the meaning of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Dr. Lu serves as Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

~~Mr. David (Xiaoying) Gao served as a member of the Governance and Nominating Committee from October 6, 2011 until his assumption of the Chief Executive Officer position on May 10, 2012.~~

The Governance and Nominating Committee assists the Board in identifying individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the Board and its committees.

We do not have a formal policy regarding consideration of director candidate recommendations received from our stockholders. However, any recommendations received from stockholders will be evaluated in the same manner that potential nominees suggested by board members, management or other parties are evaluated.

Mr. David (Xiaoying) Gao currently serves as ~~both~~ Chairman of our Board, ~~and~~ our Chief Executive ~~Officer.~~Officer and President. He possesses an in-depth knowledge of the Company, its integrated operations, the evolving biopharmaceutical industry in China, and the array of challenges to be faced, gained through years of experience in the industry. The Board believes that such experiences and other insights put Mr. Gao in the best position to provide broad leadership for the Company and the Board, as he considers strategy and exercises fiduciary responsibilities to stockholders, as the case may be.

Further, the Board has demonstrated its commitment and ability to provide independent oversight of management. A majority of the Board is comprised of independent directors, and all members of the Audit, Compensation, and Governance and Nominating Committees are independent. Each independent director has access to the ~~Chief Executive Officer~~CEO and other Company executives on request, may call meetings of the independent directors, and may request agenda topics to be added or dealt with in more detail at meetings of the full Board or an appropriate Board committee.We encourage our stockholders to learn more about our Company’s governance practices at our website,http://www.chinabiologic.com.

The Board oversees that the assets of the Company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that the Company’s business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the Board’s oversight of the various risks facing the Company. In this regard, the Board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. The Board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of the Company’s business strategy. The Board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all ~~risk.~~risks. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for the Company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

While the Board oversees risk management, Company management is charged with managing risk. The Company has internal processes and an internal control environment to identify and manage risks and to communicate with the Board. The Board and the Audit Committee monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal controls and the risk management program at least annually. The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through Committees. Much of the work is delegated to various Committees, which meet regularly and report back to the full Board. All Committees play significant roles in carrying out the risk oversight function. In particular:

Our Board has determined that the majority of the Board is comprised of “independent directors” within the meaning of applicable NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our independent directors are Mr. Sean Shao, Dr. Yungang Lu, Prof. Wenfang Liu, Mr. Zhijun Tong and ~~Ms. Sandy (Han) Zhang.~~Mr. Albert (Wai Keung) Yeung.

During fiscal year ~~2011,~~2013, the Board held ~~seven~~ten meetings and acted by written consent ~~two~~three times. Our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee met or acted by written consent four, ~~one~~three and ~~one~~two times, respectively. In addition, our ~~non-management directors, all of which are~~ independent directors, meet in executive session following Board meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of all Board and applicable committee meetings.

Our directors are expected to attend Board meetings as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities and to spend the time needed to prepare for each such meeting. We encourage our directors to attend annual shareholder meetings, but we do not have a formal policy requiring them to do so.

On March 25, 2008, our Board adopted a code of ethics, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer. The code of ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC, and in other public communications that we made; compliance with applicable government laws, rules and regulations; the prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to the appropriate person or persons; and accountability for adherence to the code. We believe that our reputation is a valuable asset and must continually be guarded by all associated with us so as to ~~cam~~earn the trust, confidence and respect of our suppliers, customers and stockholders. Our Board amended the code of ethics on March 11, 2013 to update certain administrative information in the code.

The code of ethics is maintained on the Company’s website atwww.chinabiologic.com. Printed copies of our code of ethics may be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Corporate Secretary, China Biologic Products, Inc., 18^th18th Floor, Jialong International Building, 19 Chaoyang Park Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing ~~10012,~~100125, People’s Republic of China.

The Audit Committee of the Board is comprised of three non-employee ~~Directors,~~directors, each of whom has been determined by the Board to be “independent” under the meaning of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. The Board has determined, based upon an interview of Mr. Sean Shao and a review of Mr. Shao’s responses to a questionnaire designed to elicit information regarding his experience in accounting and financial matters, that Mr. Shao shall be designated as an “Audit Committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of SEC Regulation S-K, as Mr. Shao has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in his financial sophistication. The Audit Committee assists the Board’s oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial reports, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and independence of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the audit process, and internal controls. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the corporate accounting and financing reporting practices, recommending the selection of the Company’s registered public accounting firm, reviewing the extent of non-audit services to be performed by the auditors, and reviewing the disclosures made in the Company’s periodic financial reports. The Audit Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Following the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2011,~~2013, the Audit Committee (1) reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2011~~2013 with Company management; (2) discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by ~~SAS 61 as amended, (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol.1 AU Section 380),~~Auditing Standard No. 16 as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and (3) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent ~~public accounting firms~~accountants required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) regarding the independent public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent public accounting firm its independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2011~~2013 for filing with the SEC.

~~Mr. Sean Shao, Chair~~
~~Mr. David (Xiaoying) Gao~~
~~Dr. Yungang Lu~~

Our mission is to become a first-class biopharmaceutical enterprise in China. To achieve this objective, we strive to provide an executive compensation program that is aimed to attract and retain talented and qualified senior executives to manage and lead our Company and to motivate them to pursue our growth strategy and deliver strong execution. We use a mix of compensation elements including base salary, performance-based discretionary cash bonuses, equity compensation, and in certain cases severance and change of control benefits and other employee benefits. In 2013, we positioned the components for our named executive officers (the “NEOs”) with an emphasis on equity compensation to better align the interest of the NEOs with our stockholders and the long-term interest of the Company.

We conducted a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs (commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote) at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 28, 2013. Our stockholders approved the compensation of the NEOs, with approximately 75.9% of stockholder votes cast in favor of our executive compensation program.

As the Compensation Committee evaluated our executive compensation policies and practices throughout 2013, it was mindful of the strong support our stockholders expressed for our compensation philosophy and objectives. As a result, the Compensation Committee decided to continue our general approach to executive compensation in aligning the interests of executives with stockholder interests.

Consistent with the recommendation of the Board and the preference of our stockholders as reflected in the advisory vote on the frequency of future say on pay votes conducted at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders in June 2011, the Board has adopted a policy providing for annual advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs. Accordingly, our stockholders will have the opportunity at this year’s Annual Meeting to endorse our executive compensation program through the “say-on-pay” vote included as Proposal 3 in this Proxy Statement. We encourage you to review this Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”), together with the compensation tables that follow, prior to casting your advisory vote on the “say-on-pay” proposal.

Our executive compensation philosophy is to align the interests of ~~executive management~~executives with stockholder interests and with our business strategy and success through an integrated executive compensation program that considers short-term performance, the achievement of long-term strategic goals and growth in total stockholder value. ~~The key elements of our executive~~Our compensation ~~philosophy are competitive base salary, annual incentive opportunities and equity participation. Our aggregate compensation package~~program is designed to attract and retain individuals critical to the long-term success of the Company, to motivate these persons to perform at their highest levels, and to reward exceptional performance. We believe such compensation program will also help to foster a goal-oriented, highly-motivated management team whose members have a clear understanding of business objectives and shared corporate values, allocate company resources to effectively exploit our business potentials and achieve internal equity across our organization based upon level of responsibility.

The key elements of our executive compensation philosophy are competitive base salary, annual incentive opportunities and equity participation. More specifically, compensation for each NEO is comprised of a base salary, performance-based discretionary cash bonus and equity compensations, and in certain cases, severance and change of control benefits. The base salary is generally reviewed annually and adjustments are considered based on the individual performance of the executive and level of experience or tenure in their position. In addition, determination of base salary for the NEOs involves an evaluation of the competitive market based data derived from comparable companies. The performance-based discretionary bonus is based upon achievement of corporate objectives and individual performance, but ultimately subject to the discretion of the Board and/or the Compensation Committee, as applicable. The equity incentives are designed to provide long-term compensation based on Company performance, as reflected in the value of the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the equity compensation compared to the purchase price of those shares, if any. With equity compensation, we seek to reward our NEOs when we generate stockholder returns. At the same time, if our efforts do not generate positive stockholder returns, such portion of the compensation for our NEOs is at risk, which we believe tends to align their interests with the interests of our stockholders. In determining the equity incentives, we also take into consideration the market data and market trend, which help to ensure that our executive compensations are competitive with those of the companies with which we compete for talent.

Currently, we do not have any formal policies for allocating between short-term and long-term compensation or between cash and non-cash compensation.

In August 2012, the Compensation Committee retained Towers Watson Consulting (Shanghai) Limited, Beijing Branch (“Towers Watson”), an international human resource consulting firm, as an independent compensation adviser to review and advise on optimizing the structure of the compensation for our NEOs and non-executive directors. In July 2013, Towers Watson compared the compensations for the Company’s NEOs and non-executive directors at that time to those of two groups of comparable companies (the “Peer Groups”) and recommended further granting of equity compensation to our NEOs and non-executive directors, in the form of stock options or restricted stock.

Taking into consideration of the Towers Watson’s recommendation, the performances of the CEO and performance reviews of other executives by the CEO, the Compensation Committee recommended the Board to grant equity compensation to the NEOs and other qualified executives under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). The Board approved the recommendation on August 16, 2013, and the Company granted an aggregate of 274,000 shares of restricted stock under the 2008 Plan to certain directors and executives of the Company, including the following to the NEOs:

The above restricted stock granted to each NEO will vest annually over a 4-year period in four equal portions, with the first portion vesting on August 16, 2014.

Our Board established the Compensation Committee as a regular committee of the Board in 2008. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Mr. Sean Shao, as Chair of the committee, Dr. Yungang Lu and Prof. Wenfang Liu. Each member has been determined to be and each current member remains an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and a “non-employee director” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. In compliance with the requirements of SEC Rule and the NASDAQ listing rule on compensation committee independence, no member of our Compensation Committee is affiliated with the Company or any of its subsidiary or accepts any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Company or any subsidiary except for fees received for services on the Board and Board committees. With each of its members meeting or exceeding the newly implemented higher independence standard, we believe our Compensation Committee had and will continue to carry out its responsibilities in good faith, with a goal to make fair determination on executive compensation in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

In accordance with its charter, for 2013 and beyond the Compensation Committee has and will evaluate, approve, administer and interpret our executives’ compensation and benefit policies. As part of its diligence around scrutinizing pay and performance, the Compensation Committee also reviews analyses prepared by its independent compensation adviser, Towers Watson. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of our ~~executive officers is determined by the Compensation Committee,~~executives except that the entire Board makes the final determination as to the compensation of our ~~Chief Executive Officer.~~CEO and CFO. The ~~Chief Executive Officer reviews~~Compensation Committee may form and ~~revises~~delegate authority to subcommittees and may delegate authority to one or more designated members of the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee works collaboratively with members of management as well as Towers Watson in designing and developing compensation programs applicable to our NEOs and other executives. The Compensation Committee believes that the executives have greater day-to-day insight into the key metrics on which company performance should be evaluated. Consequently, the Compensation Committee directs the CEO to review and revise compensation proposals prepared by Human Resources for the Compensation Committee’s ultimate review and ~~presents his~~approval.

Other resources that our Compensation Committee may rely upon include individual Directors’ respective experiences and recommendations, recommendations of Towers Watson, peer or competitive compensation data provided by Towers Watson or management, the deliberative process of the Compensation Committee, and any other resources that the Compensation Committee may determine relevant. Once the Compensation Committee believes that it has the information necessary to conduct its deliberations, it does so without further input of our NEOs when discussing the CEO’s compensation; and with input of the CEO, when discussing the compensation for the other NEOs or other executives.

In compliance with the requirements of SEC Rule and the NASDAQ listing rule on independent compensation adviser, our Compensation Committee has the sole discretion to retain and consult the compensation adviser with sufficient fund to pay for such consultation.In August 2012, the Compensation Committee directly engaged Towers Watson, an international human resource consulting firm, as its independent compensation adviser. Towers Watson reported directly to the Compensation Committee and not to management. During 2013, at the request of the Compensation Committee, Towers Watson reviewed and advised on the principal aspects of compensation of our CEO, CFO and non-executive directors, including, but not limited to, providing recommendations on updating the composition of two Peer Groups, analyzing public information on the executive compensation of the Peer Groups and other publicly available data (including applying its experience with other companies) on the market trend, and advising on optimizing the structure of our compensations to the NEOs and non-executive directors. Towers Watson summarized such analysis and made recommendations to the Compensation Committee in July and December 2013. Towers Watson did not provide any other services to the Company in 2013.

We compete with many other biopharmaceutical companies in seeking to attract and retain a skilled workforce and aim to attract and retain the most highly qualified executives to manage each of our business functions. In doing so, we compete for a pool of talent that is highly sought after by both large and established biopharmaceutical and life sciences companies and earlier stage companies, including manufacturers, distributors and marketers of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device products and other health care related companies seeking similar skill sets in our geographic area, and in some cases, nationally and internationally. Larger and more established organizations in our industry seek to recruit top talent from smaller and less established companies in the sector just as smaller organizations look to attract and retain the best talent from the industry as a whole.

To succeed in attracting top executives and retaining our current NEOs, we draw upon and access publicly available data and surveys and seek advice from the compensation adviser to ensure we remain current on compensation trends.

In July 2013, Towers Watson conducted an executive and non-executive director compensation review for the ~~Committee’s ultimate review and approval. The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in~~ Compensation Committee ~~meetings~~that compared and analyzed total compensation levels of our NEOs and directors to those of NEOs and directors at the companies in our Peer Groups. Towers Watson worked directly with our Compensation Committee to analyze the results of this review so that the Compensation Committee could make fully informed decisions in setting total compensation levels for our NEOs and non-executive directors. Towers Watson formulated two Peer Groups as follows:

The first Peer Group (“Peer Group I”) consists of 20 pharmaceutical companies that are based in the PRC, Hong Kong or the U.S. and listed on major exchanges in the U.S. or the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, with revenue ranging from RMB575 million to RMB2.3 billion, market value of RMB1.0 bill or higher and net profit of RMB100 million or higher. These companies include Acorda Therapeutics Inc., Akorn Inc., Auxilium Pharmaceuticals Inc., Cambrex Corporation, China Animal Healthcare Ltd., China Medical System Holdings Ltd., China Shineway Pharmaceutical Group Limited, Dawnrays Pharmaceutical Holdings Ltd., Emergent BioSolutions Inc., Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co., Inc., Hua Han Bio-Pharmaceutical Holdings Ltd., Lijun International Pharmaceutical (Holding) Co Ltd., PDL BioPharma, Inc., Pharmacyclics Inc., Santarus, Inc., Shandong Luoxin Pharmacy Stock Co., Ltd., Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Techne Corp., Tong Ren Tang Technologies Co. Ltd. and Winteam Pharmaceutical Group Limited.

The second Peer Group (“Peer Group II”) consists of 13 pharmaceutical companies that are based in the PRC and listed in the U.S. with a broader range of revenue and market value than those of Peer Group I. These companies include Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company, Inc., Biostar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., China Cord Blood Corporation, China Pharma Holdings, Inc., Chindex International Inc., Concord Medical Services Holdings Limited, Dehaier Medical Systems Limited, Mindray Medical International Limited, Simcere Pharmaceutical Group, Sinovac Biotech Ltd., Skystar Bio Pharmaceutical Company, Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. and WuXi PharmaTech (Cayman) Inc.

Tower Watson is of the opinion that Peer Group I companies are closer to us in terms of size, revenue and industry subdivision, while Peer Group II companies share our characteristic of operating in the PRC and listed in the U.S. As such, Towers Watson uses Peer Group I as the primary reference group and Peer Group II as the secondary reference group in making its recommendation. We intend to review the Peer Groups annually.

According to Towers Watson’s analysis, we are at about the 40 percentile in Peer Group I in terms of revenue and market capitalization at the end of 2012. Towers Watson is of the view that the total compensation packages of our CEO, CFO and non-executive directors, which are around the 50 percentile level of compensations of corresponding positions at Peer Group I remain competitive. Tower Watson also points out that the total compensation packages to NEOs other than CEO and CFO are at the 25 percentile level of compensations of corresponding positions at Peer Group I. However, since the nature and scope of these positions are not ~~involved~~entirely comparable to corresponding positions at Peer Group I, Tower Watson is of the view that the base salary to such other NEOs are competitive. We followed Tower Watson’s recommendation and made no adjustment to the base salaries of NEOs in ~~decisions relating~~2013 other than that of Mr. Gang Yang, who was promoted to ~~his own compensation.~~Senior Vice President in August 2013.

While we refer to the Towers Watson Peer Group data to understand the competitiveness of our compensation packages within the market, we do not specifically benchmark a position within the Peer Groups with respect to any individual element of our executive compensation program.

We ~~pay each~~use a mix of ~~our named executive officers a~~compensation elements including base ~~annual salary. Bonuses~~salary, performance-based discretionary cash bonuses, equity compensation, and ~~equity incentives may also be provided to supplement base salary.~~in certain cases severance and change of control benefits and other employee benefits. The criteria for determining each of these components of compensation is described below. We do not provide retirement benefits and only minimal perquisites, except as described below.

Base salaries are intended to compensate our NEOs on a day-to-day basis for their services to the Company and provided a certain level of compensation that is not at-risk. The Compensation Committee evaluates the base salary amounts of the Peer Groups and refers primarily to the 50th percentile of the salaries of Peer Group I as a reference from which to make decisions regarding CEO and CFO salaries, and to 25th percentile of the salaries of Peer Group I as a reference from which to make decision regarding the salaries of other NEOs (taking into consideration the qualification and scope of responsibilities of our other NEOs). Using these references ensures that the Company’s base salaries remain competitive within our industry, but also permits the Compensation Committee to use its own judgment to ultimately determine NEO salaries. In setting the base salary for each NEO, the Compensation Committee considers such NEO’s qualification and experience, contribution to the Company, scope of responsibilities, geographic location of his/her position, industry standard and the financial condition of the Company. The relative weight given to each factor varies with each individual and is at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Base salary levels for executive officers are set forth in their individual employment agreements, subject to annual adjustment by the Compensation Committee or the Board, as the case may be, and are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below. ~~The Compensation Committee considered the total compensation paid by other biopharmaceutical companies in Beijing, China to persons holding equivalent positions in setting base~~During fiscal year 2013, salary ~~levels. However, the Compensation Committee did not conduct a peer group compensation analysis or target any particular compensation level in establishing the base salaries~~increases for ~~named executive officers.~~NEOs primarily reflected individual promotion.

The Compensation Committee believes that ~~any~~ increases in base salary should be based upon a favorable evaluation of individual performance relative to individual goals, the functioning of the executive’s team within the corporate structure, success in furthering corporate ~~strategy~~strategies and goals, individual management skills and responsibilities, demonstrated loyalty, and the Company’s commitment to attract and retain executives. ~~During fiscal year 2001, in line with industry practice, we increased base salaries for all our employees, including our named executive officers.~~ We expect that our Compensation Committee will reward superior individual and company performance with commensurate cash and other compensation. Salary will next be reviewed when the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, but the Compensation Committee does not expect to review salary more frequently than on an annual basis.

NEOs are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements. Discretionary bonuses are linked to annual corporate and individual performance ~~and achievement of strategic goals~~ established by our Compensation Committee. Key factors the Board considers in evaluating ~~our executive officers’~~the corporate performance include: operating income, net profit, plasma collection volume, acquisition and ~~achievement~~establishment of new plasma collection centers, and improvement on corporate governance. The Board evaluates CEO’s performance primarily based on such key factors, while taking into consideration other significant accomplishments of strategic ~~goals include~~matters on a case-by-case basis. When evaluating CFO and other NEOs’ performance, in addition to the ~~following: sales revenue, net profit,~~corporate performance factors stated above, the Board also takes into consideration individual personal performance target specifically for such other position, such as operating cash flow and ~~plasma collection volume.~~optimization of financial reporting system in the case of CFO.

The performance targets for 2013 were initially set by the Board upon discussion with the CEO at the beginning of 2013. Our actual performance in 2013 surpassed the initial performance targets by a large margin. Taking this into consideration, our Board ~~has~~ determined ~~that~~to award our CEO, CFO, Mr. Ming Yin and Ms. Zhijing Liu discretionary bonuses at the maximum ~~discretionary bonuses that may be awarded to our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer~~amount, which was 76%, 64%, 58% and ~~the Chief Executive Officer of Shandong Taibang were 40%, 35% and 40%~~42% of their base annual salary, respectively, for the year ended December 31, ~~2011. The performance~~2013. Discretionary bonuses award to Mr. Gang Yang was 202% of ~~our named executive officers, and hence~~his base annual salary so as to reward his exceptional achievement in leading the ~~actual discretionary bonus receive by each of them, are determined based on a weighted average formula taking into consideration each key factor.~~Guizhou facility upgrade.

NEOs are eligible for equity awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares under the ~~China Biologic Products, Inc.~~ 2008 ~~Equity Incentive Plan (the “~~~~2008 Plan~~~~”).~~Plan. Equity awards are granted at the discretion of the Compensation ~~Committee.~~ Committee to align the NEOs’ interests with those of the stockholders and provide them with a significant incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business.

The size of an award to any individual, including ~~named executive officers,~~NEOs, depends in part on individual performance, including the key factors we consider in evaluating our executive officers’ performance described above and any other indicators of the impact that such employee’s productivity may have on stockholder value over time. Other factors include salary level and competitive data. In addition, in determining the awards granted to each ~~named executive officer,~~NEO, the Compensation Committee considers the future benefits potentially available to the ~~named executive officers~~NEOs from existing awards.

In case of equity incentive granted to our current CEO and CFO, our Compensation Committee also took into consideration Towers Watson’s recommendation, which refers primarily to the 50th percentile of equity compensation of the Peer Group I as a basis for the recommended equity grant to the CEO and the CFO. With reference to the amounts of equity grants to the CEO and the CFO recommended by Towers Watson, and taking into consideration each other NEO’s position and responsibility, professional experience and performance in the previous year, the CEO recommended to the Compensation Committee the amount of equity grant to each of the other NEOs. The Compensation Committee also takes into account the available share reserve under the 2008 Plan when determining the size of equity awards. The Compensation Committee, however, does not place any particular weight on any one individual factor and does not adhere to any specific guidelines in making its determinations.

During 2013, we granted restricted stock to our NEOs. Compensation Committee decided to offer restricted stock based on Towers Watson’s recommendation to remain competitive in terms of executive compensation within our industry.

We plan to grant equity incentives to our NEOs and other key employees annually but have no program, plan or practice of granting equity awards that coincide with the release by the Company of material non-public information. Currently we do not have any security ownership guidelines.

Our employment agreement with each of our CEO, CFO and Mr. Ming Yin contains severance and change of control arrangements so that we can mitigate the risk of not being able to retain key senior executives in the event of an acquisition of the Company. These severance and change of control arrangements are designed to: (1) assure we would have the continued dedication and objectivity of our senior executives, notwithstanding the possibility of a change of control of the Company, thereby aligning the interests of these key senior executives with those of the stockholders in connection with potentially advantageous offers to acquire the Company; and (2) create a total executive compensation plan that is competitive in our industry.

The severance and change of control arrangements in the employment agreements with the CEO, the CFO and Mr. Yin provides that if such executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, he will be entitled to receive a cash severance payment equal to 12 months of his then current base salary, payable in 12 equal monthly installments, and that if his employment is terminated by the Company upon certain merger or consolidation of the Company or sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, he will be entitled to receive a cash severance payment equal to 18 months of his then current base salary, payable in 18 equal monthly installments.

The Compensation Committee believes that these severance and change of control arrangements satisfy the objectives above and ensure that key executives are focused on the Company’s goals and objectives, as well as the interests of our stockholders, rather than any negative personal consequences that may arise as a result of a change of control.

Currently, we do not provide any company-sponsored retirement benefits or deferred compensation programs to any Chinese employee, including the ~~named executive officers~~NEOs (other than a mandatory state pension scheme in which all of our employees in China participate) because it is not customary to provide such benefits and programs in China. We maintain a defined contribution 401(k) plan for employees who are U.S. citizens, to which we make no matching contribution. Mr. David (Xiaoyin) Gao, a U.S. citizen, is eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan.

Historically, we have provided our ~~named executive officers~~NEOs with ~~minimal~~limited perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe are reasonable, such as company car-related benefits. We do not view perquisites as a significant element of compensation, but do believe they can be useful in attracting, motivating and retaining desirable executive talents.

For 2013 and continuing thereafter, the Compensation Committee has considered and will continue to consider the impact of the requirement under Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718,Compensation-Stock Compensation(“FASB ASC Topic 718”), that we record as an expense in our financial statements, at the time stock options are granted, the fair value of the options over their vesting period. We do not pay or reimburse any NEOs for any taxes due upon exercise of a stock option.

At this time, our Compensation Committee has not adopted stock ownership guidelines with respect to our NEOs, although it may consider doing so in the future.

At this time, we have not implemented a policy regarding retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to our executive ~~talent for which we compete.~~officers and other employees where the payments were predicated upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a financial restatement. Our compensation committee intends to adopt a general compensation recovery, or clawback, policy covering our annual and long-term incentive award plans and arrangements after the SEC adopts final rules implementing the requirement of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including the expected volatility of our stock price over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

There are no arrangements known to us, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

The following includes a summary of transactions since the beginning of the ~~2011~~2013 fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described above under the heading “Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

Except as set forth in our discussion above, none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Under the Policy, all Interested Transactions with Related Parties are subject to approval or ratification in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

The Policy defines an “Interested Transaction” is any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $100,000 in any calendar year, (2) the Company is a participant and (3) any Related Party has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A “Related Party” is defined as any (a) person who is or was (since the beginning of the last fiscal year for which the Company has filed a Form 10-K and proxy statement, even if they do not presently serve in that role) an executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock or (c) immediate family member of any of the foregoing.

If the ~~Governance and Nominating Committee’s~~Audit Committee approval of an Interested Transaction is not feasible, then the Interested Transaction shall be considered and, if the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee determines it to be appropriate, ratified at the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting. In determining whether to approve or ratify an Interested Transaction, the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the Interested Transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the Related Party’s interest in the transaction.

The ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee has reviewed the Interested Transactions described below in “Standing Pre-Approval for Certain Interested Transactions” and determined that each of the Interested Transactions described therein shall be deemed to be pre-approved or ratified (as applicable) by the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee under the terms of the Policy. In addition, the board of directors has delegated to the Chair of the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve or ratify (as applicable) any Interested Transaction with a Related Party in which the aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than $250,000. In connection with each regularly scheduled meeting of the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee, a summary of each new Interested Transaction deemed pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (3) or (4) under “Standing Pre-Approval for Certain Interested Transactions” below and each new Interested Transaction preapproved by the Chair in accordance shall be provided to the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee for its review.

Under the Policy, no director shall participate in any discussion or approval of an Interested Transaction for which he or she is a Related Party, except that the director shall provide all material information concerning the Interested Transaction to the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee.

If an Interested Transaction will be ongoing, the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee may establish guidelines for our management to follow in its ongoing dealings with the Related Party. Thereafter, the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee, on at least an annual basis, shall review and assess ongoing relationships with the Related Party to see that they are in compliance with the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee’s guidelines and that the Interested Transaction remains appropriate.

The ~~Governance and Nominating Committee has reviewed the types of Interested Transactions described below and determined that each of the~~ following Interested Transactions ~~shall be~~has been reviewed in accordance with the Policy and are deemed ~~to be~~as having been pre-approved by the ~~Governance and Nominating~~Audit Committee, even if the aggregate amount involved will exceed $100,000.

It selects our executive officers, delegates authority for the conduct of our day-to-day operations to those officers, and monitors their performance. Members of the Board keep themselves informed of our business by participating in Board and Committee meetings, by reviewing analyses and reports, and through discussions with the Chairman and other officers.

See “Governance and Nominating Committee” above for a discussion of the process for selecting directors.

There are currently nine directors serving on the Board. Pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws adopted by the stockholders annual meeting on July 20, 2012, the Board directors have been designated into three Classes: Class I directors currently consist of Mr. David (Xiaoying) Gao, Dr. Bing Li and Mr. Charles (Le) Zhang, with term expiring in 2016; Class II directors currently consist of Mr. Sean Shao, Prof. Wenfang Liu and Mr. David Hui Li, with term expiring in 2014; and Class III directors currently consist of Dr. Yungang Lu, Mr. Zhijun Tong and Mr. Albert (Wai Keung) Yeung, with term expiring in 2015.

Directors are responsible for overseeing our business consistent with their fiduciary duty to shareowners. This significant responsibility requires highly-skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. The Board believes that there are general requirements for service on our Board that are applicable to all directors and that there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and our current and future needs.

In its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by shareowners, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers the nominee’s judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of our business or other related industries and such other factors the Governance and Nominating Committee determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee also takes into account the ability of a director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company.

The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee require that each director be a recognized person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field. Each director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices, an appreciation of multiple cultures and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition to the qualifications required of all directors, the Board assesses intangible qualities including the individual’s ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.

The Board does not have a specific diversity policy, but considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background and professional experiences in evaluating candidates for Board membership. Diversity is important because a variety of points of view contribute to a more effective decision-making process.

Qualifications, Attributes, Skills and Experience to be Represented on the Board as a Whole

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this ~~Amended~~ Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate, and retain our named executive officers, who are critical to our success.

Our Compensation Committee continually reviews the compensation programs for our named executive officers to ensure they achieve the desired goals of aligning our executive compensation structure with our stockholders’ interests and current market practices. We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and related compensation tables. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this ~~Amended~~ Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote for the approval of the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in this ~~Amended~~ Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC.

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board. Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the approval the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this ~~Amended~~ Proxy Statement, they will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and related compensation tables.

~~PROPOSAL NO.4~~
~~AMENDMENT TO FOURTH ARTICLE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION~~

On June 20, 2012, our Board approved and recommended for submission to our stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting, the proposal to amend FOURTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation to (i) permit the Board to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and with such rights (including voting, dividend and conversion), preferences and designations as the Board deems necessary or advisable without any further action by our stockholders and (ii) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend such provision.

~~FOURTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as proposed to be amended would state:~~

“FOURTH: (a) The total number of shares of stock which this Corporation is authorized to issue is: 110,000,000 shares, with a par value of $0.0001, of which 100,000,000 shall be Common Stock and 10,000,000 shall be Preferred Stock.

(b) The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issue duly adopted by the Board of Directors (authority to do so being hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors). The Board of Directors is further authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions and to set forth in a certificate of designations filed pursuant to the DGCL the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participation, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, including without limitation authority to fix by resolution or resolutions that dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing. The Board of Directors is further authorized to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series, the number of which was fixed by it, subsequent to the issuance of shares of such series then outstanding, subject to the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof stated in the Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares of such series. If the number of shares of any series is so decreased, then the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

(c) Any amendment, modification or repeal of Section (b) of this FOURTH Article shall require affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class.”

The adoption of the amendment to FOURTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as disclosed in this Amended Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our total outstanding shares entitled to voted thereon, whether or not such shares are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

The current FOURTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation authorizes 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The proposed amendment to FOURTH Article would permit the Board to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and with such rights (including voting, dividend and conversion), preferences and designations as the Board deems necessary or advisable without any further action by our stockholders (the “~~Blank Check Provision~~~~”). This is commonly referred to as “blank check preferred stock.”~~

The Board believes that amending the Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of the blank check preferred stock will provide the Company with increased flexibility in raising future capital. The proposed amendment would give the Board flexibility without further stockholder action (except as may be required by applicable law or by the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed) to issue the blank check preferred stock on such terms and conditions as the Board deems to be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. The Board believes that increased flexibility in capital raising is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

The Board believes that for the Company to successfully execute our business strategy with respect to our emerging businesses the Company may need to raise capital at some point in the future and it may be preferable or necessary to issue preferred stock to investors. Preferred stock usually grants holders certain preferential rights in voting, dividends, liquidation and/or other rights in preference over the common stock. Accordingly, in order to grant the Board the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for our Company, or as may be required by the capital markets, the proposed amendment would convert our currently authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock to 10,000,000 authorized shares of blank check preferred stock for the Board to issue.

The availability of undesignated preferred stock may have certain negative effects on the rights of the holders of our common stock. The actual effect of the issuance of any shares of blank check preferred stock upon the rights of holders of common stock cannot be stated until the Board determines the specific rights of the holders of such blank check preferred stock. However, the potential effects of the issuance of any particular class or series of preferred stock on the rights of holders of common stock, may including without limitation, restrictions on the payment of dividends; dilution of voting power and ownership; and impairment of liquidation rights. Holders of common stock will not have preemptive rights with respect to the blank check preferred stock.

The proposed Blank Check Provision would afford the Board greater flexibility in responding to unsolicited acquisition proposals and hostile takeover bids. The issuance of blank check preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult or time consuming for a third party to acquire a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting stock or otherwise effect a change of control. Blank check preferred stock may also be sold to third parties who indicate they would support the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid. The proposed Blank Check Provision, if adopted, may be disadvantageous to stockholders to the extent that it has the effect of delaying or discouraging a future takeover attempt that is not approved by the Board but which a majority of the stockholders may deem to be in their best interests. The proposed Blank Check Provision is not being proposed in response to any attempt to acquire control of the Company, to obtain representation on the Company’s Board, or to take significant corporate action, and the Company is not aware of any such plans.

The Board also considered the advantages and disadvantages of requiring a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to effect any amendment to the proposed Blank Check Provision as compared to a simple majority voting requirement. The Board considers a requirement of a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend the proposed Blank Check Provision to be desirable since it ensures that there is a broad stockholder support and a clear stockholder mandate in order to revise or remove a provision that provides the Company with additional financing flexibility while also providing a defensive mechanism that the Board may use against third party tender or control proposals that are not in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Therefore, the Board determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to (i) permit the Board to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and with such rights (including voting, dividend and conversion), preferences and designations as the Board deems necessary or advisable without any further action by our stockholders, and (ii) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend such provision.

~~The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual text of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as set forth inAppendix A~~. We urge you to review carefully the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in its entirety because the above summary may not contain all the information about this amendment that is important to you.

~~The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the adoption of the amendment to FOURTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as disclosed in this Amended Proxy Statement.~~

~~PROPOSAL NO.5~~
~~AMENDMENT TO FIFTH ARTICLE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION~~

On June 20, 2012, our Board approved and recommended for submission to our stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting, the proposal to amend FIFTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation to (i) prohibit stockholders from taking action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, and (ii) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend such provision.

~~FIFTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as proposed to be amended would state:~~

“FIFTH: Except as otherwise expressly provided by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock permitting the holders of such series of Preferred Stock to act by written consent, any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders and may not be effected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Any amendments to this FIFTH Article shall require affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class.”

The adoption of the amendment to FIFTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as disclosed in this Amended Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our total outstanding shares entitled to voted thereon, whether or not such shares are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

Section 2.07 of our current Bylaws allows any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders at a meeting to be taken without notice, without a meeting and without a stockholder vote if a written consent setting forth the action to be taken is signed by the holders of outstanding shares of stock having the requisite number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting of stockholders at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted. The principal advantage of such provision is that it minimizes the time needed to effect corporate actions that require stockholder approval by allowing the company to obtain such approval in writing without having to incur the costs and take the time required to call a special meeting. The Board, however, believes that it is important to give all of the Company’s stockholders the opportunity to participate in determining any proposed action of stockholders and to allow the Board the opportunity to give advance consideration to, and to give the stockholders its recommendation with respect to, any such proposed action. The Board is proposing this amendment to prohibit shareholder action in lieu of a meeting (the “~~No Written Consent Provision~~”) because the Board believe it is appropriate to prevent the holders of a majority of outstanding voting securities from potentially taking unannounced action and from using the written consent procedure to take action affecting the rights of all of the Company's stockholders without such action being fully considered by all of the Company's stockholders at a formal meeting of stockholders. The proposed No Written Consent Provision could also avoid confusion and disruption in a publicly-held corporation with over 26 million outstanding shares. Without this amendment, multiple groups of stockholders would be able to solicit written consents at any time and as frequently as they choose on a range of issues, some of which may be duplicative or conflicting. This could lead to a chaotic state of corporate affairs.

The proposed No Written Consent Provision is also intended to protect the Company and its stockholders from unfair or coercive takeover tactics. As part of a hostile takeover attempt, hostile bidders often attempt to force a response by a target company through threats or attempts to secure stockholder action without a meeting, which may not provide the board of directors of the target company with a reasonable opportunity to consider whether such hostile bid or stockholder proposal is in the best interests of the stockholders of the target company. The proposed No Written Consent Provision is intended to remove the Company’s vulnerability to such tactics and to ensure that appropriate takeover bids can be considered in a deliberate, proper and fully informed manner. The Board believes that the Company’s corporate governance policies obviate the need for stockholders to act by written consent. Our corporate governance policies ensure that the Board is held accountable and provide stockholders with access to the Board and opportunity to submit proposals for approval at annual meetings.

The proposed No Written Consent Provision will prevent stockholders from taking action other than at an annual or special meeting of stockholders. The proposed Restriction of Special Meeting Provision as set forth in Proposal No.8 provides that only the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board or a majority of the directors by written order may call special meetings of the Company's stockholders. Consequently, if this proposed No Written Consent Provision and the proposed Restriction of Special Meeting Provision as set forth in Proposal No.8 are approved, the Company's stockholders, or a group of the Company's stockholders, would no longer have the ability to take corporate action between annual meetings of stockholders without the approval of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board or the written order of a majority of the directors.

The proposed No Written Consent Provision could have a potential anti-takeover effect and might render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or change in control and the removal of management, which stockholders might otherwise deem favorable. The proposed No Written Consent Provision, if adopted, may be disadvantageous to stockholders to the extent that it has the effect of delaying or discouraging a future takeover attempt that is not approved by the Board but which a majority of the stockholders may deem to be in their best interests. The proposed No Written Consent Provision is not being proposed in response to any attempt to acquire control of the Company, to obtain representation on the Company’s Board, or to take significant corporate action, and the Company is not aware of any such plans.

The Board also considered the advantages and disadvantages of requiring a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to effect any amendment to the proposed No Written Consent Provision as compared to a simple majority voting requirement. The Board considers a requirement of a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend the proposed No Written Consent Provision to be desirable since it ensures that there is a broad stockholder support and a clear stockholder mandate in order to revise or remove this provision.

Therefore, the Board determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to (i) prohibit stockholders from taking actions by written consent in lieu of a meeting, and (ii) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend such provision.

If this Proposal No. 5 is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, Section 2.07 of our current Bylaws, which provides for stockholder action by written consent will be deleted in its entirety pursuant to Sections 228 and 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

~~The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the adoption of the amendment to FIFTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as disclosed in this Amended Proxy Statement.~~

~~PROPOSAL NO.6~~
~~AMENDMENT TO SIXTH ARTICLE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION~~

On June 20, 2012, our Board approved and recommended for submission to our stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting, the proposal to amend SIXTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation to clarify that the Board has the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws unless otherwise specified for any particular provision in the Bylaws.

~~SIXTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as proposed to be amended would state:~~

“SIXTH: The Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation unless otherwise specified for any particular provision in the Bylaws.”

The adoption of the amendment to SIXTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as disclosed in this Amended Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our total outstanding shares entitled to voted thereon, whether or not such shares are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

The Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders toclarify that the Board shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws unless otherwise specified for any particular provision in the Bylaws.

~~The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the adoption of the amendment to SIXTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as disclosed in this Amended Proxy Statement.~~

~~PROPOSAL NO. 7~~
~~ADOPTION OF EIGHTH ARTICLE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION~~

On June 20, 2012, our Board approved and recommended for submission to our stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting, the adoption of the proposed EIGHTH Article to the Certificate of Incorporation to (i) adopt a classified board and authorize the Board to designate the Directors into three classes, and (ii) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend such provision.

~~The proposed EIGHTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as proposed to be amended would state:~~

“EIGHTH: (a) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by this Certificate of Incorporation or by the Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

(b) The Board of Directors shall consist of no more than nine members, the exact number of which shall be fixed from time to time by vote of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors, at any regular or special meeting. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock with respect to the election of directors, the directors of the Corporation shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, hereby designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The initial assignment of members of the Board of Directors to each such class shall be made by the Board of Directors. Initially, Class I directors shall be elected for a one-year term, Class II directors for a two-year term, and Class III directors for a three-year term. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders beginning at the annual meeting after such first meeting, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to the election of directors, if the number of directors that constitutes the Board of Directors is changed, any newly created directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned by the Board of Directors among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable, provided that no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class. 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, subject, however, to his or her prior death, resignation, retirement or removal from office. Directors need not be residents of Delaware or stockholders of the Corporation. Subject to any additional requirement set forth in the Corporation’s corporate governance guidelines, in any election of directors held at a meeting of stockholders, the persons receiving a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon at such meeting who are present or represented by proxy, up to the number of directors to be elected in such election, shall be deemed elected.

(c) If any vacancy occurs in the Board of Directors caused by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal from office of any director, or otherwise, or if any new directorship is created by an increase in the authorized number of directors, a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director, may choose a successor or fill the newly created directorship; and a director so chosen shall hold office until the next applicable election and until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. Any director may be removed either for or without cause at any special meeting of stockholders duly called and held for such purpose.

(d) Any amendments to this EIGHTH Article shall require affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class.”

The adoption of proposed EIGHTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation as disclosed in this Amended Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our total outstanding shares entitled to voted thereon, whether or not such shares are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

The proposed EIGHTH Article provides for a classified board structure, where the nine directors are divided into three classes – Class I, II and III – each class serving a staggered three-year term (the “~~Staggered Board Provision~~”). Our board believes that such classified board structure is in the best long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders. This structure provides the Board with stability and continuity and therefore enhances long-term planning because at any given time a majority of the directors will have prior experience with our Company and, therefore, will be familiar with its business and operations. Our Board believes that the stability in its leadership and policies in the past has helped to promote the creation of long-term stockholder value. Our Board also believes that such structure will assist our Board in protecting the interests of our stockholders in the event of an unsolicited offer for our Company by encouraging any potential acquirer to negotiate directly with our Board.

The adoption of the Staggered Board Provision will prevent stockholders from registering their views on the performance of all directors at each annual meeting. In addition, the adoption of a classified board may increase the amount of time required for a takeover bidder to obtain control of our Company without the cooperation of our Board, even if the takeover bidder were to acquire a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. Without the ability to obtain immediate control of our Board, a takeover bidder will not be able to take action to remove other impediments to its acquisition of our Company. Thus, the adoption of a classified board could discourage certain takeover attempts, perhaps including some takeovers that stockholders may feel would be in their best interests. By potentially discouraging accumulations of large blocks of our stock and fluctuations in the market price of our stock caused by accumulations, this amendment could cause stockholders to lose opportunities to sell their shares at temporarily higher prices. Further, the adoption of a classified board will make it more difficult for our stockholders to change the majority composition of our Board, even if the stockholders believe such a change would be desirable.

Delaware General Corporation Law provides that, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides otherwise, if a corporation has a classified board, the directors of the corporation may only be removed by the stockholders for cause. The Board believes that it is not in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to prohibit stockholders from removing directors without cause as such provision takes away the ability of the stockholders to register their view on the performance of a director, especially when such provision is coupled with a classified board structure. Instead, the Board is seeking to provide a balanced approach between director continuity and accountability to maximize stockholder value. The proposed EIGHTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation therefore specifically allows removal of directors either for or without cause.

The Board also considered the advantages and disadvantages of requiring a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to effect any amendment to the Staggered Board Provision as compared to a simple majority voting requirement. The Board considers a requirement of a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend the Staggered Board Provision to be desirable since it ensures that there is a broad stockholder support and a clear stockholder mandate in order to revise or remove this provision.

Therefore, the Board determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to (i) adopt a classified board and authorize the Board to designate the Directors into three classes, and (ii) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend such provision.

~~If this Proposal No.7 is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, conforming amendments will be made to Section 3.02 of the Bylaws.~~

~~The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the adoption of EIGHTH Article of the Certificate of~~
~~Incorporation as disclosed in this Amended Proxy Statement.~~

~~A copy of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is set forth inAppendix A~~ and reflects changes that will be made to our Certificate of Incorporation assuming Proposals No. 4 to 7 are approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, with deletions indicated by strike-outs and additions indicated by underlining. Certain conforming changes will also be necessary in connection with the foregoing amendment and such conforming changes are also reflected in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation deletes ineffective and unnecessary provisions and reflects only the current operative provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In this regard, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates reference to the name and address of the original incorporator of the Company, which information is not required to be in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

~~If Proposals No. 4 to 7 are approved by our stockholders, we will amend and restate our Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the revisions contemplated by Proposals No. 4 to 7 as set forth inAppendix A~~ and the resulting Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which is anticipated to occur promptly after the Annual Meeting.

On June 20, 2012, our Board approved and recommended for submission to our stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting, the proposal to adopt certain amendments to the Bylaws to (i) provide that the Board shall consist of no more than nine members, (ii) prohibit stockholders and certain other persons from calling a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, (iii) provide advance notice requirements for business that may be conducted at a stockholder meeting, (iv) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend the aforementioned provisions, and (v) make certain conforming changes to reflect the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation as described in Proposal No.5 and Proposal No.7 above.

Our Board recently reviewed our current Bylaws to ensure that the provisions of our Bylaws include up-to-date and clearly stated processes and procedures for corporate governance matters and to determine whether any changes were necessary in light of recent developments in Delaware law. Following its review, our Board recommended for submission to our stockholders for approval certain amendments to the Bylaws. The text of the proposed Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “~~Amended Bylaws~~~~”) as approved by our Board is attached hereto asAppendix B~~.

~~The following is a summary of the material changes that will be effected by the Amended Bylaws if adopted and our Board’s reasoning for approving such changes.~~

The size of the Board is currently governed by Section 3.02 of the Bylaws, which provides that the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board may be fixed by vote of stockholders or of the Board at any regular or special meeting. Accordingly, stockholders owning shares representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting have the ability to increase the number of directors of the Board, which can create an opportunity for a substantial stockholder to “stack” the Board with directors representing such stockholder’s interests and not the long-term best interests of the Company and all of the other stockholders.

~~The proposed amendment to Section 3.02 of the Bylaws limits the size of the Board to nine members (the “~~~~Maximum Board Size Provision~~”). This limitation on the size of the Board would effectively limit a substantial stockholders’ ability to increase the size of the Board solely for the purpose of gaining control of the Board. If the Company adopts this proposed amendment and the Staggered Board Provision described in Proposal No.7, it will take at least two annual meetings for even a substantial stockholder to effectuate a change in control of the Board. The Board believes this Maximum Board Size Provision provides the Board with stability and continuity and ensures the fair and equitable treatment of all stockholders.

The proposed Maximum Board Size Provision, in conjunction with the proposed Staggered Board Provision described in Proposal No.7, will increase the amount of time required for a substantial stockholder to obtain control of the Company without the cooperation of the Board. Similar to the Staggered Board Provision, the proposed Maximum Board Size Provision could discourage certain takeover attempts, perhaps including some takeovers that stockholders may feel would be in their best interests.

Section 2.03 of the Bylaws provides that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company or by the Board or by written order of a majority of the directors or shall be called by the President or the Secretary at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority of the entire capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. This provision allows majority stockholders to call a special meeting to take corporate action that is not directed or recommended by the Board. Such action could be harmful to the best interest of the Company and its stockholders and could prove disruptive to the ability of the Company’s management to manage the Company’s day-to-day operations.

~~The proposed amendment to Section 2.03 of the Bylaws eliminates the ability of stockholders and certain other persons to call a special meeting of stockholders (the “~~~~Restriction of Special Meeting Provision~~”). The Board believes that the proposed amendment to Section 2.03 of the Bylaw ensures that all stockholders request special meetings only through the Board or the senior management of the Company, which promotes the fair and equitable treatment of all stockholders. This proposed amendment also safeguards the Company against unnecessary disruption to its day-to-day operations. In addition, the Board believes that the Company’s corporate governance policies provide stockholders with access to the Board and opportunity to submit proposals for approval at annual meetings and thereby obviate the need for stockholders to call special meeting directly.

The proposed Restriction of Special Meeting Provision will also have certain anti-takeover effects as it makes more difficult or discourages a proxy contest or the assumption of control by a substantial stockholder and thus could increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their positions.

The proposed adoption of Section 2.04 of the Amended Bylaws provides the advance notice requirements for business that may be conducted at a stockholder meeting, pursuant to which a stockholder may only nominate directors or present proposals before a meeting if such nomination or proposal was made in compliance with the advance notice procedures set forth in the Amended Bylaws (the “~~Advanced Notice Provision~~”). Our Board believes that detailed and clearly stated advance notice requirements are beneficial to both our stockholders and to our Board in planning for and administering stockholder meetings. In addition, they help our stockholders to better understand the process that must be followed in order to comply with the applicable provisions of our Amended Bylaws when submitting proposals for a stockholder meeting, and they enable the Board to better prepare for such meetings and inform stockholders, if necessary or desirable, prior to the meeting of the business to be conducted. The Board believes increased clarity and specificity of these procedures will help to set the stockholders’ expectations for such meetings and better prepare the stockholders for such meetings.

Stockholders should be aware that the proposed Advanced Notice Provision will require any stockholder who desires to nominate directors or present proposals in a meeting to provide additional, more detailed information than is required in our current Bylaws and preclude the conduct of business at a particular meeting if the advance notice procedures are not followed correctly. As a result, a stockholder nomination or proposal that is not made in compliance with the proposed Advanced Notice Provision could be delayed to a subsequent meeting.

Our current Bylaws provide that the Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the Board or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the Board if notice of such alteration, amendment, or repeal be contained in the notice of such special meeting.

In addition to such requirement, the proposed amendment to Section 8.09 of the Bylaws requires any amendment to the aforementioned Maximum Board Size Provision, Restriction of Special Meeting Provision and Advanced Notice Provision to be approved by a Stockholder Super Majority Vote. The Board considered the advantages and disadvantages of requiring a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend these provisions as compared to a simple majority voting requirement. The Board considers a requirement of a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend these provisions to be desirable since it ensures that there is a broad stockholder support and a clear stockholder mandate in order to revise or remove these provisions.

If the proposed amendment to FIFTH Article of the Certificate of Incorporation to (i) prohibit stockholders from taking action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, and (ii) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend such provision as described in Proposal No. 5 is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, Section 2.07 of our current Bylaws, which provides for stockholder action by written consent will be deleted in its entirety pursuant to Sections 228 and 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

If the proposed adoption of EIGHTH Article to the Certificate of Incorporation to (i) adopt a classified board and authorize the Board to designate the Directors into three classes, and (ii) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend such provision as described in Proposal No.7 is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, conforming amendments will be made to the Bylaws.

Therefore, the Board determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to adopt the above amendments to the Bylaws to (i) provide that the Board shall consist of no more than nine members, (ii) prohibit stockholders and certain other persons from calling a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, (iii) provide advance notice requirements for business that may be conducted at a stockholder meeting, (iv) require a Stockholder Super Majority Vote to amend the aforementioned provisions, and (v) make certain conforming changes to reflect the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation as described in Proposal No.5 and Proposal No.7 above.

~~The above description is qualifies in its entirety by reference to the actual text of the Amended Bylaws as set forth inAppendix B. The Amended Bylaws as set forth inAppendix B~~ reflects changes that will be made to our current Bylaws assuming this Proposal No.8 is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, with deletions indicated by strike-outs and additions indicated by underlining. Certain confirming changes will also be necessary in connection with the foregoing amendments and such conforming changes are also reflected in our Amended Bylaws.

~~We urge you to review carefully the Amended Bylaws as set forth inAppendix B~~ ~~in its entirety because the above summary may not contain all the information about this amendment that is important to you.~~
