Director Nominees. Having had discussions with the Shareholders regarding the nominees to be nominated for election to the Board at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2014 Meeting”), the Governance Committee has reviewed the nominations and has recommended that the Board nominate the New Independent Directors for election as directors of the Company at the 2014 Meeting on the terms set out in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to the New Independent Directors, the Board will also nominate three (3) additional directors for election at the 2014 Meeting by the holders of Common Stock. Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Board has determined and agreed to nominate the New Independent Directors for election as directors of the Company at the 2014 Meeting, and to prepare, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and disseminate to the Company’s stockholders proxy soliciting materials describing the terms of this Agreement. If a New Independent Director is elected by the Company’s stockholders to serve as a director on the Board at the 2014 Meeting, such New Independent Director shall serve until the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company in 2015 (the “2015 Meeting”), or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. The Company shall use the same solicitation efforts on behalf of the New Independent Directors as for all other nominees. The Company agrees that if either of the New Independent Directors is unable to serve as a director, resigns as a director or is removed as a director prior to the 2015 Meeting and at such time the Shareholders beneficially owns in the aggregate at least the lesser of 4.0% of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock and 857,922 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications and similar adjustments), Foundation Asset Management, LLC shall have the ability to recommend a substitute person(s); provided that, (i) any substitute will qualify as “independent” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, (ii) if Xx.
