• Governance Matters At Closing, the Company and the Bank will appoint each person nominated by each Lead Investor (each a “Board Representative”) as provided in this Section 4.18 to the Board of Directors, subject to satisfaction of the legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). To the extent consistent with the requirement to stagger the terms of the directors of the Company, the Company and Bank will nominate the Board Representatives for election at the first annual meeting of shareholders following the Closing to the following terms: PIMCO Board Representative to a three year term; Patriot Board Representative to a two year term; and Xxxxxxxx Board Representative to a one year term. After such appointment or election of a Board Representative, so long as the Lead Investor beneficially owns (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) 5.0% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock whether acquired upon conversion of the Non-Voting Common Stock, exercise of the Warrant or otherwise (and treating each outstanding share of Non-Voting Common Stock that is not a share of Common Stock as if it had converted into Common Stock and excluding as Common Stock beneficially owned, shares of Common Stock issuable under outstanding Warrants) (a “Qualifying Ownership Interest”), the Company will be required to recommend to its shareholders the election of such respective Lead Investor’s Board Representative at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, as applicable, subject to satisfaction of the legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If at any time a Lead Investor no longer beneficially owns Qualifying Ownership Interest, such Lead Investor will have no further rights under this Section 4.18, and, at the written request of the Board of Directors, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Board Representative to resign from the Board of Directors within 15 calendar days thereafter. Each Lead Investor shall inform the Company if and when it ceases to hold a Qualifying Ownership Interest. Any Board Representative (including any successor nominee) duly selected in accordance with this Section 4.18 shall, subject to applicable law, be the Company’s and the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee’s nominee to serve on the Board of Directors. The Company shall use all reasonable best efforts to have the Board Representative elected as a director of the Company and the Company shall solicit proxies for each such person to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors. For only so long as the Lead Investor has the right to nominate a Board Representative pursuant to Section 4.18, such Lead Investor shall have the power to designate the Board Representative’s replacement upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of such director. The Board of Directors will use its reasonable best efforts to take all action required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such person (including such person, subject to applicable law, being the Company’s and the Nominating and Governance Committee’s nominee to serve on the Board of Directors, using all reasonable best efforts to have such person elected as director of the Company and the Company soliciting proxies for such person to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors). Any Board Representative shall be entitled to the same cash compensation and participation in Company equity plans and same indemnification in connection with his or her role as a director as the other members of the Board of Directors, and each Board Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement for documented, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or any committees thereof, to the same extent as the other members of the Board of Directors. With respect to indemnification of any Board Representative, the Company agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any Board Representative are primary and any obligation of the Lead Investors or their Affiliates (other than the Company) to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such person are secondary) with respect to any actions, costs, charges, losses, damages or expenses incurred or sustained in connection with the execution by such person of his or her duties as a director of the Company and (ii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Lead Investors and their Affiliates from any and all claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company shall notify each Board Representative of all regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors and shall notify each Board Representative of all regular and special meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors of which the Board Representative is a member in accordance with the Company’s bylaws as then in effect. The Company shall provide each Board Representative with copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials provided to all other members of the Board of Directors concurrently as such materials are provided to the other members. At all times when the Lead Investor has the right to a Board Representative as provided in this Section 4.18, upon the written request of such Lead Investor and in lieu of such Lead Investor’s nomination of a Board Representative, such Lead Investor may appoint one individual to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors and all committees thereof (the “Observer”) and pursuant to this Section 4.18 hereof the board of directors of the Bank and all committees thereof, which individual shall be reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the appointment by a Lead Investor of an Observer shall not prevent such Lead Investor from nominating a Board Representative in lieu of an Observer at a future time. The Observer shall not have any right to vote on any matter presented to the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. Subject to compliance with regulatory requirements, the Company shall give each Observer written notice of each meeting thereof at the same time and in the same manner as the members of the Board of Directors, shall provide each Observer with all written materials and other information given to members of the Board of Directors at the same time such materials and information are given to the members of the Board of Directors and shall permit each Observer to attend as an observer at all meetings thereof, and in the event the Company proposes to take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, the Company shall give written notice thereof to each Observer prior to the effective date of such consent describing the nature and substance of such action and including the proposed text of such written consents; provided, however, that (A) the Company or the Board of Directors shall have the right to withhold any information and to exclude the Observer from any meeting or portion thereof (1) if doing so is, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company, after consultation with counsel, advisable or necessary to protect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and counsel or (2) if the Board of Directors reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with counsel, that attendance by the Observer would conflict with fiduciary or regulatory requirements under applicable law and (B) each Lead Investor shall cause its Observer to agree to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information provided to such Observer. Each Lead Investor covenants and agrees to hold all such information obtained from its Observer as provided in the prior sentence in confidence pursuant to the non-disclosure agreement entered into between the Company and such Lead Investor. So long as a Lead Investor has the right to appoint a Board Representative pursuant to this Section 4.18, such Lead Investor shall have the right to either nominate one person (the “Bank Board Representative”) to be elected or appointed as director to the board of directors of the Bank (the “Bank Board”) or to appoint one person to attend all meetings of the Bank Board and all committees thereof as an observer (the “Bank Board Observer”); provided that if a Lead Investor chooses to have a director of both the Company and the Bank it at all such times be the same individual; provided further the appointment by such Lead Investor of a Bank Board Observer shall not prevent such Lead Investor from nominating a Bank Board Representative in lieu of a Bank Board Observer at a future time. The obligations of the Company otherwise with respect to, and the conditions on the appointment and, if applicable, directorship of, each Bank Board Representative and each Bank Board Observer shall be substantially the same as those with respect to or applicable to the Board Representative and Observer, respectively. The rights of each Lead Investor described in this Section 4.18 shall be personal to such Lead Investor and the transfer, assignment and/or conveyance of said rights from such Lead Investor to any other person and/or entity (other than in connection with a transfer of Securities to an Affiliate) is prohibited and shall be void and of no force or effect.
