SECTION 2.1 Election and Appointment.
(a)The Company shall cause the Board of Directors to appoint the Investor Designees as Directors on the Closing Date immediately subsequent to the effective time of the Resignations to fill the vacancies to be created by such Resignations.
(b)From and after the date of the Closing, until the Board Designation Expiration Date, the manner of selecting nominees for election to the Board of Directors will be as follows:
(i)In connection with each annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company at which Directors are to be elected (each such annual or special meeting, an “Election Meeting”), the Investor shall have the right to designate for
6
nomination (it being understood that such nomination will include any nomination of any incumbent Investor Director (or a Replacement) by the Board (upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee)) a number of Investor Designees as follows: (i) if the Investor Percentage Interest is greater than or equal to 20%, four (4) Investor Designees; (ii) if the Investor Percentage Interest is less than 20% but greater than or equal to 15%, three (3) Investor Designees; (iii) if the Investor Percentage Interest is less than 15% but greater than or equal to 10%, two (2) Investor Designees; (iv) if the Investor Percentage Interest is less than 10% but greater than or equal to 5%, one (1) Investor Designee; and (v) if the Investor Percentage Interest is less than 5%, no Investor Designees. If the number of Directors on the Board is increased to more or decreased to less than eleven (11) Directors, then the number of Investor Designees that the Investor can designate for nomination by the Board shall be adjusted upward or downward (rounded to the nearest whole number), as the case may be, such that the proportional representation of the Investor Designees on the Board (assuming all Investor Designees are elected or re-elected to the Board) would be as similar as possible to the proportional representation of the Investor Designees on the Board if the number of Directors on the Board had remained the same.
(ii)The Investor shall give written notice to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of each such Investor Designee no later than the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the first anniversary of the date that the Company's annual proxy for the prior year was first mailed to the Company's stockholders; provided, however, that if the Investor fails to give such notice in a timely manner, then the Investor shall be deemed to have nominated the incumbent Investor Director or Investor Directors, as applicable, in a timely manner; provided, further, that if the number of incumbent Investor Directors is less than the number of Investor Designees the Investor is entitled to designate pursuant to clause (i) above, then the Company and the Investor shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to mutually agree on a designee or designees to satisfy the requirements of clause (i) above.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor have the right to designate pursuant to this Section 2.1 a number of Directors that, assuming the election or appointment, as applicable, of such designees, would result in the number of Investor Directors being equal to or greater than 50% of the total number of seats on the Board of Directors.
(c)Subject to Section 2.1(f), the Company and the Board of Directors, including the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, shall cause each Investor Designee designated in accordance with Section 2.1(b) to be included in management's slate of nominees for election as a Director at each Election Meeting in 2014 and 2015.
(d)The Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to, and to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate
7
Governance Committee to, cause the election of each Investor Designee to the Board of Directors at each Election Meeting (including recommending that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of the election of each Investor Designee and otherwise supporting the Investor Designee for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees).
(e)If any Investor Designee (i) is unable to serve as a nominee for appointment on the Closing Date or for election as a Director or to serve as a Director, for any reason, (ii) is removed (upon death, resignation or otherwise) or fails to be elected at an Election Meeting solely as a result of such Investor Designee failing to receive a majority of the votes cast, or (iii) is to be substituted by the Investor (with the relevant Investor Designees' consent and resignation) for election at an Election Meeting, the Investor shall have the right to submit the name of a replacement for each such Investor Designee (each a “Replacement”) to the Company for its approval (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Company acting in good faith and consistent with the Company's nominating and governance practices (consistently applied) in effect from time to time) and who shall, if so approved, serve as the nominee for appointment upon the Closing Date or election as Director or serve as Director in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.1. For each proposed Replacement that is not approved by the Company, the Investor shall have the right to submit another proposed Replacement to the Company for its approval on the same basis as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The Investor shall have the right to continue submitting the name of a proposed Replacement to the Company for its approval until the Company approves that a Replacement may serve as a nominee for appointment upon the Closing Date or for election as Director or to serve as a Director whereupon such person is appointed as the Replacement. An Investor Designee shall, at the time of nomination and at all times thereafter until such individual's service on the Board of Directors ceases, meet any applicable requirements or qualifications under applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules. The Company acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, to the Company's knowledge, each of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ meets the standards set forth above.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement neither the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Company nor the Board of Directors shall be under any obligation to appoint upon the Closing Date or nominate and recommend (i) a proposed Investor Designee (other than an Approved Designee) if, as determined in good faith by the majority of the Other Directors, service by such nominee as a Director would reasonably be expected to fail to meet the independence standard of any stock exchange on which the Voting Securities are listed or traded (including, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the position discussed in the first paragraph of IM-5605. Definition of Independence - Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market with respect to stock ownership by itself not precluding a finding of independence) or otherwise violate applicable Law, stock exchange rules or the Corporate Governance Guidelines of the Company (consistently applied), or (ii) an Approved Designee if, as determined in good faith by the majority of the Other Directors, service by such nominee as a Director would reasonably be expected to violate applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules, and in each such case the Company shall provide the Investor with a reasonable opportunity to designate a Replacement.
8
(g)The Investor shall promptly take all appropriate action to cause to resign from the Board, and shall vote any Voting Securities then held by the Investor in favor of removal of any Investor Director if, as determined in good faith by the majority of the Other Directors, service by such Investor Director as a Director would reasonably be expected to violate applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules.
(h)From and after the date of this Agreement, until the earlier of (x) the Board Designation Expiration Date and (y) the date this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Article V hereof, and so long as the Company is in compliance with Sections 2.1(c) and 2.3(a), the Investor agrees (i) to cause all Voting Securities held by the Investor or any of its Subsidiaries or over which the Investor or any of its Subsidiaries otherwise has voting discretion or control to be present at any shareholders' meeting at which Directors are elected or removed either in person or by proxy, (ii) to vote such Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by it or any of its Subsidiaries or over which the Investor or any of its Subsidiaries otherwise has voting discretion or control (A) in favor of all Director nominees nominated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (including the Investor Designees), (B) against any other nominees, and (C) against the removal of any Director (including any Other Director) if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee so recommends and (iv) not to take, alone or in concert with other Persons, any action to remove or oppose any Other Director or to seek to change the size or composition of the Board of Directors or otherwise seek to expand Investor's representation on the Board of Directors in a manner inconsistent with Section 2.1(b). As promptly as practicable following the record date for an Election Meeting or any annual or special meeting at which Directors are to be removed, the Investor shall provide the Company a proxy for purposes of effecting the immediately preceding sentence.
(i)In any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders not subject to Section 2.1(g), the Investor may vote any or all of its Voting Securities in its sole discretion, subject to applicable Law.
SECTION 2.2 Expenses and Fees; Indemnification. The Company agrees to reimburse each Investor Designee elected to the Board for his reasonable expenses, consistent with the Company's policy for such reimbursement in effect from time to time, incurred attending meetings of the Board and/or any committee of the Board. No Investor Designee who is also a director or officer of the Investor shall be entitled to any retainer, equity compensation or other fees or compensation paid to the non-employee Directors of the Company for their services as a Director, including any service on any committee of the Board. The Company shall indemnify, or provide for the indemnification of, including, subject to applicable Law, any rights to the advancement of fees and expenses, the Investor Designee and provide the Investor Designee with director and officer insurance to the same extent it indemnifies and provides insurance for the non-executive members of the Board of Directors.
SECTION 2.3 Committees.
(a)Prior to the Closing, and subsequently in connection with each Election Meeting subject to Section 2.1(b), the Company and the Board of Directors agree to cause the appointment of an Investor Designee designated by the Investor to each of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Benefits
9
Committee, provided that such Investor Designee meets the independence and other requirements under applicable Law, such committee's charter and applicable stock exchange rules for such committee. In the event the inability of an Investor Designee to serve on the Board as described in Section 2.1(e)(i) or (ii), as applicable, results in a vacancy on one of such committees, the Investor shall have the right to submit that the Replacement proposed pursuant to Section 2.1(e) be appointed to fill such committee vacancy, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.3. In the event an Investor Designee is removed by the Board from the committee on which such Investor Designee serves, the Investor shall have the right to submit the name of another Investor Designee to fill the committee vacancy as a result of such removal, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.3.
(b)The Investor shall promptly take all appropriate action to cause to resign from any committee set forth in Section 2.3(a) any Investor Director if, as determined in good faith by a majority of the Other Directors, service by such Investor Director on such committee would reasonably be expected to violate applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules.

(b)The Company and the Board of Directors agree not to adopt a stockholder rights plan or similar plan or agreement unless such plan by its terms exempts or, at the time of adoption of such plan the Company and the Board of Directors take action to exempt (x) any
13
accumulation of Voting Securities by the Investor or a Qualified Distribution Transferee pursuant to a Distribution Transaction in compliance with Section 3.4(a) up to and including an Investor Percentage Interest that is less than or equal to 39.99%, and (y) in the event that the Investor transfers all or such portion of its Voting Securities in a single block to a third party transferee( such transfer a “Qualifying Transfer” and such third party transferee a “Qualifying Transferee”) such that the Investor holds less than 15% of the outstanding Voting Securities, any accumulation of Voting Securities by the Qualifying Transferee in the Qualifying Transfer up to and including an Investor Percentage Interest that is less than or equal to 35%; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (b) shall only be applicable for one occurrence of a single transfer to a third party transferee at a time.
