Information Rights So long as the Holder holds this Warrant and/or any of the Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (a) promptly after mailing, copies of all notices or other written communications to the shareholders of the Company, (b) within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the annual audited financial statements of the Company certified by independent public accountants of recognized standing and (c) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year, the Company's quarterly, unaudited financial statements.
Board Observation Rights To the extent the Combination Closing Date has occurred, Required Purchasers shall be entitled to designate one observer (the “Board Observer”) to attend any regular meeting (a “BOD Meeting”) of the Board of Directors of the Acquiror (or, in each case, any relevant committees thereof), except that the Board Observer shall not be entitled to vote on matters presented to or discussed by the Board of Directors (or any relevant committee thereof) of the Acquiror at any such meetings. The Board Observer shall be timely notified of the time and place of any BOD Meetings and will be given written notice of all proposed actions to be taken by the Board of Directors (or any relevant committee thereof) of the Acquiror as if the Board Observer were a member thereof. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature and substance of the matters to be discussed and/or voted upon at such meeting (or the proposed actions to be taken by written consent without a meeting). The Board Observer shall have the right to receive all information provided to the members of the Board of Directors or any similar group performing an executive oversight or similar function (or any relevant committee thereof) of the Acquiror in anticipation of or at such meeting (regular or special and whether telephonic or otherwise), in addition to copies of the records of the proceedings or minutes of such meeting, when provided to the members, and the Board Observer shall keep such materials and information confidential in accordance with Section 12.07. The Issuer shall reimburse the Board Observer for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with its participation in any such BOD Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may exclude Board Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if: (i) the Board of Directors concludes in good faith, upon advice of the Acquiror’s counsel, that such exclusion is necessary to preserve the attorney-client or work product privilege between the Acquiror or any of its Affiliates and its counsel; or (ii) such portion of a meeting is an executive session limited solely to independent director members of the Board or Directors, independent auditors and/or legal counsel, as the Board of Directors may designate and such limitation is reasonably necessary with respect to the applicable matters, or (iii) such exclusion is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest between the Acquiror on the one hand and the Required Purchasers on the other.
Board Nomination Rights (a) From the Effective Date, VEP Group shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate to the Board a number of designees equal to at least: (i) 100% of the Total Number of Directors (as defined below), so long as Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 40% of the Original Amount of VEP Group, (ii) 40% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 30% but less than 40% of the Original Amount of VEP Group, (iii) 30% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 20% but less than 30% of the Original Amount of VEP Group, (iv) 20% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 10% but less than 20% of the Original Amount of VEP Group and (v) 1 Director (as defined below), in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the Original Amount of VEP Group (such persons, the “Nominees”). For purposes of calculating the number of directors that VEP Group is entitled to designate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any fractional amounts shall automatically be rounded up to the nearest whole number (e.g., 1¼ Directors shall equate to 2 Directors) and any such calculations shall be made after taking into account any increase in the Total Number of Directors.

Transfer of Incentive Distribution Rights The General Partner or any other holder of Incentive Distribution Rights may transfer any or all of its Incentive Distribution Rights without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person.
Observation Rights The Companies shall invite (by written notice given to Purchaser) two (2) representatives of Purchaser to attend in a non-voting observer capacity all meetings of the Board of Directors of the Companies and committees thereof including all executive sessions of the Boards and committees, and all meetings of the stockholders of the Companies, provided, however, that no such representatives shall attend meetings of independent directors of the Companies only, so long as exclusion from such meetings is required by the Sxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 as evidenced by a legal opinion delivered by outside legal counsel chosen by the Parent and reasonably agreed to by the Purchaser (with the cost of such legal opinion being borne by the Parent), or portions of the meetings of the Board of Directors of the Parent where the Parent discusses refinancing options and other matters in each case related to Purchaser. Notice of such meetings shall be given to Purchaser in the same manner and at the same time as to the directors, committee members and/or stockholders of the Companies, as the case may be (which in any event shall not be less then forty-eight (48) hours prior to such meeting unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser in writing). Purchaser shall be provided with copies of all information (including a meeting agenda, if one is prepared) that is provided to such directors, committee members and/or stockholders (whether prior to, at, or subsequent to any such meetings), at the same time as such materials are provided to such directors, committee members and/or stockholders, and (c) copies of the minutes of all meetings of such directors, committee members and/or stockholders (other than meetings of the Board of Directors of the Companies and/or Parent or portions thereof which the Purchaser’s representatives are prohibited from attending pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.1), concurrently with the distribution of such minutes to such directors, committee members and/or stockholders, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after each such meeting. Each of the Companies shall ensure that no board, committee or other governing body of it meets in any informal capacity without a representative of Purchaser in observance. Purchaser’s rights under this Section 2.1 shall be effective until the later of (i) the payment by the Parent of all of its outstanding obligations under the Notes and (ii) the rights under this Section 2.1 are no longer necessary to qualify under the “Venture Capital Operating Company” exemption of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1934, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Purchaser.

Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and you, the Company or any Affiliate reserves the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason. Stockholder Rights You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until the shares of Stock have been issued upon exercise of your Option and either a certificate evidencing your shares of Stock have been issued or an appropriate entry has been made on the Company’s books. No adjustments are made for dividends, distributions or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your certificate is issued (or an appropriate book entry is made), except as described in the Plan. Your Option will be subject to the terms of any applicable agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.

If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws and you knowingly engaged in the misconduct, were grossly negligent in engaging in the misconduct, knowingly failed to prevent the misconduct or were grossly negligent in failing to prevent the misconduct, you will reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of this Option earned or accrued during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document that contained such material noncompliance. Applicable Law This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The Plan The text of the Plan is incorporated into the Agreement by reference. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in the Plan, and have the meaning set forth in the Plan. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this grant are superseded; except that any written employment, consulting, confidentiality, non-solicitation and/or severance agreement between you and the Company or any Affiliate will supersede this Agreement with respect to its subject matter.

Tax Consequences The Option is intended to be exempt from, or to comply with, Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board nor the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on you under Code Section 409A and neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board nor the Committee will have any liability to you for such tax or penalty.
