Board Appointment (a) Following the Closing and upon the written request of Castle Creek, the Company will promptly cause a person designated by Castle Creek, who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (provided that all managing principals and principals of Castle Creek shall be deemed reasonably acceptable to the Company for purposes hereof) (the “Board Representative”), to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), subject to satisfaction of all legal and regulatory requirements regarding service and election or appointment as a director of the Company, and Riverview Bank (the “Bank”) board of directors (the “Bank Board”), subject to all legal and regulatory requirements regarding service and election or appointment as a director of the Bank, and subject to compliance with all corporate governance guidelines or principles that the Corporation may adopt, to its code of conduct and to its xxxxxxx xxxxxxx and other policies applicable to members of the Board of Directors and the Bank Board, in each case for as long as Castle Creek, together with its Affiliates, owns the greater of: (i) in the aggregate, 50% or more of all of the Shares purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (“Qualifying Ownership Interest”) or (ii) in the aggregate, 5% of the Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock, taken as a whole, then outstanding (“Minimum Ownership Interest”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any failure to meet any applicable residency requirement be a valid reason for withholding approval of the Board Representative (or any replacement Board Representative) by the Board, the Bank Board or the Company, as the case may be. So long as Castle Creek, together with its Affiliates, has a Minimum Ownership Interest, the Company will recommend to its shareholders the election of the Board Representative to the Board of Directors at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, subject to satisfaction of all legal requirements regarding service and election or appointment as a director of the Company. If Castle Creek no longer has a Minimum Ownership Interest, Castle Creek will have no further rights under Sections 1(a) through 1(b) and, at the written request of the Board of Directors, shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause its Board Representative to resign from the Board of Directors and the Bank Board as promptly as possible thereafter. Castle Creek shall promptly inform the Company if and when it ceases to hold a Minimum Ownership Interest in the Company.
(b) The Board Representative shall, subject to applicable law, be one of the Company’s nominees to serve on the Board of Directors. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Board Representative elected as a director of the Company by the shareholders of the Company, and the Company shall solicit proxies for the Board Representative to the same extent as it does for any of its other Company nominees to the Board of Directors. At the option of the Board Representative, the Board of Directors shall cause such Board Representative to be appointed to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and any equivalent committee of the Bank, so long as the Board Representative qualifies to serve on such committees under the Company’s or the Bank’s committee charters currently in effect, as applicable, and applicable rules of any exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, and such service is consistent with commitments that Castle Creek has provided to the Federal Reserve in connection with the transaction and would not result in Castle Creek being deemed in control of the Company for purposes of the BHC Act. The Company shall ensure, and shall cause the Bank to ensure, that the Board of Directors, the Bank Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and any equivalent committee of the Bank shall have at least four members for so long as Castle Creek shall have the right to appoint a Board Representative. Castle Creek covenants and agrees to hold any information obtained from its Board Representative in confidence (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (1) previously known by such party on a nonconfidential basis, (2) in the public domain through no fault of such party, or (3) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at all times when Castle Creek maintains a Minimum Ownership Interest, it shall comply in all respects with the Federal Reserve’s Policy Statement on equity investments in banks and bank holding companies and any other guidance promulgated in connection with the matters addressed therein.
(c) Subject to Section 1(a), upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal from office as a member of the Board or the Bank Board of the Board Representative, Castle Creek shall have the right to designate the replacement for such Board Representative, which replacement shall satisfy all legal, bank regulatory and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company, and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (provided that all managing principals and principals of Castle Creek shall be deemed reasonably acceptable to the Company for purposes hereof). The Board and the Bank Board shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take all action required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such person (including such person, subject to applicable Law, being one of the Company’s nominees to serve on the Board and the Bank Board), using all reasonable best efforts to have such person elected as director of the Company by the shareholders of the Company and the Company soliciting proxies for such person to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board, as the case may be.
(d) The Board Representative shall be entitled to compensation, including fees, and indemnification and insurance coverage in connection with his or her role as a director, to the same extent as other directors on the Board or the Bank Board, as applicable, and the Board Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable documented, out-of- pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board and the Bank Board, or any committee thereof, in accordance with Company policy.
(e) The Company acknowledges that the Board Representative may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Castle Creek and/or certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Castle Creek Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and the Bank that with respect to a claim by the Board Representative for indemnification arising out his or her service as a director of the Company and/or the Bank (1) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Board Representative with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance (which obligations shall be the same as, but in no event greater than, any such obligations to members of the Board or the Bank Board, as applicable) are primary, and any obligation of the Castle Creek Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Board Representative are secondary), and (2) the Castle Creek Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Board Representative against the Company.
