Company Board Representation Section 14(f). (a) Promptly upon the purchase by Purchaser of Shares pursuant to the Offer, and from time to time thereafter, Purchaser shall be entitled to designate up to such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors of the Company as shall give Purchaser representation on the Board of Directors equal to the product of the total number of directors on such Board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser bears to the total number of Shares then outstanding, and the Company shall, at such time, promptly take all action necessary to cause Purchaser's designees to be so elected, including either increasing the size of the Board of Directors or securing the resignations of incumbent directors or both. At such times, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause persons designated by Purchaser to constitute the same percentage as is on the board of (i) each committee of the Board of Directors, (ii) each board of directors of each subsidiary of the Company and (iii) each committee of each such board, in each case only to the extent permitted by law. Until Purchaser acquires a majority of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that all the members of the Board of Directors and such boards and committees as of the date hereof who are not employees of the Company shall remain members of the Board of Directors and such boards and committees.
No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors No Stockholder, nor any Affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any Stockholder have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Appointment to the Board The members of the Post-Closing Purchaser Board shall have been elected or appointed as of the Closing consistent with the requirements of Section 5.17.
Partnership Representative If the Issuer is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Majority Equity Holder will (i) prepare and sign, on behalf of the Issuer, the tax returns of the Issuer and (ii) be designated as the partnership representative of the Issuer under Section 6223(a) of the Code to the extent allowed under the law.
Election and Removal of Directors Upon election by the Member, each Director shall hold office until his or her death, disability, resignation or removal at any time at the pleasure of the Member. If a vacancy occurs on the Board, the Member shall, as soon as practicable after the occurrence of such vacancy, elect a successor so that the Board remains fully constituted at all times.
Vacancies; Resignation; Removal Section 3. From and after the date when Shares are first sold pursuant to a public offering and subject to any voting powers of one or more classes or series of Shares as set forth in this Declaration or in the Bylaws or by resolution of the Board of Trustees, any vacancies occurring in the Board of Trustees may be filled by the Trustees as set forth below. Prior to the date when Shares are first sold pursuant to a public offering, subject to any limitations imposed by the 1940 Act or other applicable law, any vacancies occurring in the Board of Trustees may be filled by the Trustees without any action by or meeting of Shareholders. Subject to any limitations imposed by the 1940 Act or other applicable law, any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees that results from an increase in the number of Trustees may be filled by a majority of the entire Board of Trustees, and any other vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees may be filled by a majority of the Trustees then in office, whether or not sufficient to constitute a quorum, or by a sole remaining Trustee; provided, however, that if the Shareholders of any class or series of Shares are entitled separately to elect one or more Trustees, a majority of the remaining Trustees elected by that class or series or the sole remaining Trustee elected by that class or series may fill any vacancy among the number of Trustees elected by that class or series. A Trustee elected by the Board of Trustees to fill any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees shall serve until the next annual meeting of Shareholders and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. At any annual meeting of Shareholders, any Trustee elected to fill any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees that has arisen since the preceding annual meeting of Shareholders (whether or not any such vacancy has been filled by election of a new Trustee by the Board of Trustees) shall hold office for a term which coincides with the remaining term of the Class of Trustee to which such office was previously assigned, if such vacancy arose other than by an increase in the number of Trustees, and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify. In the event such vacancy arose due to an increase in the number of Trustees, any Trustee so elected to fill such vacancy at an annual meeting shall hold office for a term which coincides with that of the Class of Trustee to which such office has been apportioned as heretofore provided, and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify.
