Director and Officer Resignations. Prior to the Closing Date, unless Parent instructs the Company otherwise, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the resignation (in form and substance acceptable to Parent) of each individual serving as a director or officer of (or comparable position with) the Company and its Subsidiaries from his or her position as a director or officer of (or comparable position with) the Company and its Subsidiaries (and not as an employee, if applicable, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).
