h. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5(h), each Holders Director shall comply with all policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to Directors (as each may be amended from time to time for all Directors) and will execute the Non-Disclosure Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Upon the recommendation of a Replacement Director nominee by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Replacement Director to the Board no later than ten (10) business days after the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommendation of such Replacement Director; provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such Replacement Director to the Board, the parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this section 5(i) until a Replacement Director is elected to the Board.
