FREEDOM TO DEAL WITH THIRD PARTIES The Adviser shall be free to render services to others similar to those rendered under this Agreement or of a different nature except as such services may conflict with the services to be rendered or the duties to be assumed hereunder.
Board Representation The merger agreement provides that promptly after the later to occur of (1) the purchase of and payment for any shares by our Parent or any of its subsidiaries as a result of which our Parent and its subsidiaries beneficially own at least a majority of then outstanding shares and (2) compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14f-1 thereunder, our Parent will be entitled to designate up to such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on Convergent's board of directors as will give our Parent representation on the board equal to the product of the total number of directors on the board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to the merger agreement) multiplied by the percentage of the total outstanding number of shares that we or any affiliate of ours beneficially owns. Convergent will, upon request of our Parent, use its best efforts promptly either to increase the size of its board of directors or to secure the resignations of such number of its incumbent directors, or both as is necessary to enable such designees of our Parent to be so elected or appointed to Convergent's board of directors, and Convergent will take all actions available to Convergent to cause such designees of our Parent to be so elected or appointed at that time. At that time, Convergent will, if requested by our Parent, also take all action necessary to cause persons designated by our Parent to have the same percentage representation on each committee of Convergent's board of directors, each board of directors (or similar body) of each subsidiary of Convergent, and each committee (or similar body) of each board of directors. The parties have agreed that, in the event that our Parent's designees are elected or appointed to Convergent's board of directors, all members of the special committee of the board will remain on Convergent's board of directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the special committee will be required after the acceptance for payment of shares pursuant to our offer and prior to the effective time of the merger, before Convergent (1) amends or terminates the merger agreement, (2) exercises or waives any of its rights, benefits or remedies under the merger agreement if such exercise or waiver adversely affects holders of shares (other than ours or our Parent), (3) takes any other action under or in connection with the merger agreement if such action adversely affects holders of shares (other than ours or our Parent) or (4) take any other action on behalf of Convergent in connection with the merger agreement required to be taken by Convergent's board of directors.
