Section 3

GOVERNANCE

3.1 Board Designation.

(a) Designation Rights. So long as VantagePoint beneficially owns 50% or more of the voting power of the Company Shares, VantagePoint shall be entitled to designate three (3) directors of the Board of Directors. If VantagePoint ceases to own 50% or more of the voting power of the Company Shares, but beneficially owns at least 20% of the voting power of the Company Shares, VantagePoint shall be entitled to designate two (2) directors of the Board of Directors. If VantagePoint ceases to own 20% or more of the voting power of the Company Shares, but beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting power of the Company Shares, VantagePoint shall be entitled to designate one (1) director of the Board of Directors. If VantagePoint ceases to beneficially own 10% or more of the voting power of the Company, then VantagePoint shall not be entitled to designate any member of the Board of Directors. The Company shall use its best efforts to take all Necessary Action to cause the persons designated by VantagePoint to be elected to the Board of Directors. Section 8.4 of the Certificate and Section 2.4 of the Bylaws shall not apply to VantagePoint’s rights and the Company’s obligations under this paragraph.

(b) Initial Designation. The initial directors designated by VantagePoint pursuant to Section 3.1(a) are ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (who shall serve as a Class I director in accordance with the Certificate), ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (who shall serve as a Class II director in accordance with the Certificate) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (who shall serve as a Class III director in accordance with the Certificate).

3.2 Removal and Replacement; Vacancies.

(a) A Sponsor Director may be removed by, and only by, the affirmative vote or written consent of VantagePoint, which removal may be made at any time by VantagePoint in its sole discretion and if, prior to his or her appointment to the Board of Directors, any person is unable or unwilling to serve as a Sponsor Director, then VantagePoint shall be entitled to designate a replacement. If, following appointment to the Board of Directors, any Sponsor Director resigns, is removed, or is unable to serve for any reason prior to the expiration of his or her term as a director, then, VantagePoint shall be solely entitled to appoint a replacement. If VantagePoint fails to do so, then such directorship shall remain vacant until filled by VantagePoint.

(b) To the extent VantagePoint desires to remove a Sponsor Director, then VantagePoint shall send a written notice to the Secretary of the Company stating the name of the Sponsor Director(s) to be removed from the Board of Directors and, upon receipt of such notice by the Secretary of the Company, such Sponsor Director(s) shall be deemed to have resigned from the Board of Directors, and the vacancy or vacancies in one or more Classes of Directors created thereby (and, thereafter, any vacancies created in that particular directorship) shall be filled by VantagePoint in its discretion, it being understood that neither the Company nor the Board of Directors shall have the power to fill any such vacancy.

3.3 Committees.

(a) Composition. So long as VantagePoint is entitled to designate one or more Sponsor Directors under Section 3.1, it shall have the right to designate one of its Sponsor Directors to serve as a member of each committee of the Board of Directors other than the Audit Committee (and if it has more than one Sponsor Director, it may appoint a different Sponsor Director to different Board of Director committees); provided, further, however, that no such right to designate one or more Sponsor Director to a Board of Directors committee would violate the U.S. federal securities laws, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable listing standards and rules of the securities exchange on which a class of the Company’s securities are listed (without regard to any available “controlled company” exceptions to such laws, rules and regulations and standards). To the extent that a Sponsor Director is removed from the Board pursuant to Section 3.2, such Sponsor Director shall be deemed to have resigned from all committees upon which such Sponsor Director is serving. Any vacancies on the Board of Director’s committees created thereby (and, thereafter, any vacancies created in these committee memberships) shall, to the extent VantagePoint continues to have the right to appoint one of its Sponsor Director to the Board of Directors’ committees, be filled by VantagePoint in its discretion.

(b) Authority. No committee of the Board of Directors shall have the power to act for the Board of Directors where such action would require VantagePoint’s approval pursuant to Section 3.5 or otherwise expressly require the vote or consent of a majority of the Board of Directors under applicable law, the Certificate or this Agreement.

3.4 Stockholder Meetings. So long as VantagePoint beneficially owns 30% or more of the voting power of the Company Shares, VantagePoint shall be entitled to call a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders.

3.5 Actions Requiring VantagePoint Approval.

(a) Amendments to the Certificate. Until such time as VantagePoint no longer has the right to appoint a director pursuant to Section 3.1 (and with respect to subsection (v), such time as VantagePoint beneficially owns less than 40% of the Company Shares and with respect to subsection (vi), such time as VantagePoint beneficially owns less than 30% of the Company Shares), VantagePoint’s approval shall be required for the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to take any of the following actions:

(ix) Any other amendment or restatement of any provision of the Certificate which by its terms states it is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to amend, alter or repeal such statement that such provision of the Certificate is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Other Changes. Until such time as VantagePoint beneficially owns less than 25% of the voting power of the Company Shares, VantagePoint’s approval shall be required for the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to take any of the following actions, unless such action is required to be subject to a vote of the Company’s stockholders:

(i) Amend the Company’s bylaws.

(ii) Issue any new class or series of equity security (including any security or other right convertible into or exercisable for any equity security) having economic rights senior to the Company’s common stock or having voting rights other than those granted to the common stock generally (other than issuances that would not dilute the percentage interest in Company Shares of any Company stockholder or otherwise adversely affect the rights of VantagePoint).

(iii) Incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money of any other Person, in each case in excess of $20,000,000.

(iv) Directly or indirectly, enter into or effect any transaction or series of related transactions involving the issuance of any equity or debt securities (including any securities or other rights convertible into or exercisable for any equity or debt securities) having a fair market value or for consideration having a fair market value in excess of 12.5% of the Company’s market capitalization (as measured by the average trading price of the Company’s common stock over the 30 trading day period prior to the date such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors).

(v) Directly or indirectly, enter into or effect any transaction or series of related transactions involving the acquisition or disposition (including by lease or license) by the Company of any assets and/or equity securities of any Person for consideration having a fair market value in excess of 12.5% of the Company’s market capitalization (as measured by the average trading price of the Company’s common stock over the 30 trading day period prior to the date such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors).

(vi) Adopt any stockholders rights plan.

(vii) Approve any “golden parachute” or other compensatory plan, arrangement or agreement contingent upon a Change in Control for any executive officer of the Company for value in excess of $1,000,000 for any one executive officer or $5,000,000 for any group of executive officers adopted or entered into at substantially the same time or in a series of related transactions, at the time such compensatory plan, arrangement or agreement is adopted or entered into (which value shall be determined by assuming that Change in Control took place on the date such plan is adopted and the price per share of the Company’s securities is the average trading price over the 30 trading day period prior to the date such plan is adopted).

(viii) Change the authorized number of directors of the Company.

---

For purposes of subsections (iv) and (v) above, the fair market value of any non-cash consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, except that any publicly-traded securities shall be valued as follows:

 

(1)

if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the date of the Board’s determination;

 

(2)

if the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the securities over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the date of the Board’s determination.

For the purposes of this provision, “trading day” shall mean any day which the exchange or system on which the securities to be distributed are traded is open and “closing prices” or “closing bid prices” shall be deemed to be: (i) for securities traded primarily on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or a Nasdaq market, the last reported trade price or sale price, as the case may be, at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on that day and (ii) for securities listed or traded on other exchanges, markets and systems, the market price as of the end of the regular hours trading period that is generally accepted as such for such exchange, market or system. If, after the date hereof, the benchmark times generally accepted in the securities industry for determining the market price of a stock as of a given trading day shall change from those set forth above, the fair market value shall be determined as of such other generally accepted benchmark times.

3.6 Books and Records; Confidentiality.

(a) So long as VantagePoint beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the Company Shares, the Company will afford VantagePoint and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to all of the Company’s properties, books and records. VantagePoint shall have such other access to management and information as is necessary for it to comply with applicable laws and regulations and reporting obligations. The Company shall not be required to disclose any privileged information so long as the Company has used its best efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information without the loss of any such privilege. VantagePoint may exercise its rights under this Section 3.6(a) only for purposes reasonably related to its interests under this Agreement. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 3.6(a) may not be assigned or otherwise conveyed by VantagePoint or by any subsequent transferee of any such rights without the prior written consent of the Company except as authorized in this Section 3.6(a).

(b) The Confidentiality Agreement dated July     , 2011 by and between the Company and VantagePoint shall apply to any information provided to VantagePoint pursuant to Section 3.6(a). VantagePoint and its Representatives shall not engage in the purchase or sale of any Company Shares on the basis of any material non-public information VantagePoint obtains pursuant to Section 3.6(a).

Section 4

GENERAL PROVISIONS

To the extent that this Agreement is determined to be in contravention of

 

7

---

the Certificate, this Agreement shall constitute a waiver by VantagePoint, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable laws, of any right VantagePoint may have pursuant to the Certificate that is inconsistent with this Agreement.
