(i) (x) the majority of the representatives nominated by the Stockholder, so long as the Stockholder’s Ownership Percentage is at least 50%, (y) a number of representatives nominated by the Stockholder in proportion to the Stockholder’s Ownership Percentage, rounded up to the nearest whole number, so long as the Stockholder’s Ownership Percentage is less than 50% but at least 10%, and (z) the greater of (1) a number of representatives nominated by the Stockholder in proportion to the Stockholder’s Ownership Percentage, rounded up to the nearest whole number and (2) one director, in the case of this clause (z), so long as the Stockholder’s Ownership Percentage is less than 10% but at least 5%;

(ii) subject to the provisions of this Section 1, the Board shall determine the size (i.e., number of Board seats) of the Board, which as of the date hereof consists of not less than six (6) Board members (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include one or more vacancies).

(b) The representatives designated hereunder by the Stockholder shall be nominated to serve as a Class I, Class II or Class III director (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation), as the case may be, as set forth on the Schedule of Directors attached hereto. The initial term of each Class I, Class II and Class III director shall expire as set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Any director nominated by the Stockholder hereunder to fill a vacancy on the Board shall be designated as the same class of director as the director whose termination of services as a director created such vacancy.

(d) At every meeting of the Board, or a committee thereof, for which directors are nominated to stand for election by stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder will have the right to select those persons to be nominated for election to the Board for each Retiring Director that was a prior Nominee of the Stockholder in accordance with this Section 1.

(e) If a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal of a Nominee, the Stockholder shall be entitled to nominate such person’s successors in accordance with this Agreement and the Board, subject to a determination of the Board in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel that such action would not constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties or applicable law, shall fill the vacancy with such successor Nominee.

(f) If a Nominee is not nominated or elected to the Board because of the Nominee’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee or for other reason is unavailable or unable to serve on the Board, the Stockholder who nominated such person shall be entitled to nominate promptly another Nominee and the director position for which such Nominee was nominated shall not be filled pending such nomination.

2. Company Obligations.

(a) The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assure that (i) each Nominee is included in the Board’s slate of nominees to the stockholders for each election of directors, and (ii) each Nominee is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in connection with soliciting proxies for every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the election of members of the Board, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of members of the Board.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to cause to be nominated for election to the Board or recommend to the stockholders the election of any Nominee (i) who fails to submit to the Company on a timely basis such questionnaires as the Company may reasonably require of its directors generally and such other information as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of its filings under the Securities Laws, or (ii) the Board or the Nominating Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such action would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties or applicable law or violate the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of either (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall promptly notify the Stockholder of the occurrence of such event and permit the Stockholder to provide an alternate Nominee sufficiently in advance of any Board action, meeting of the stockholders called or written action of stockholders with respect to such election of Nominees and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under Section 2(a) with respect to such alternate Nominee (provided that if the Company provides at least 45 days advance notice of the occurrence of any such event such alternative Nominee must be designated by the applicable Stockholder not less than 30 days in advance of any Board action, notice of meeting of the stockholders or written action of stockholders with respect to such election of Nominees). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under Section 2(a) with respect to such alternate Nominee, provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to postpone, reschedule or delay any scheduled meeting of the stockholders with respect to such election of Nominees.

(c) At any time a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability, resignation or removal of a Nominee, then the Board, or any committee thereof, shall not fill such vacancy until the earliest to occur of (i) the Stockholder has nominated a successor Nominee and the Board has filled the vacancy and appointed such successor Nominee, (ii) the Stockholder fails to nominate a successor Nominee within 30 Business Days after receiving notification of the vacancy from the Company, and (iii) the Stockholder has specifically waived its right under this Section 2(c).

(d) At any time that the Stockholder shall have any nomination rights under Section 1, the Company shall not take any action to reduce the size of the Board from six (6), except as otherwise provided herein.
