Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (the “New Nominee”) to the Board to serve as a director of the Company, include the New Nominee in the Company’s slate of recommended director candidates for election to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting, and solicit proxies in favor of the election of the New Nominee at the 2015 Annual Meeting and otherwise support the New Nominee for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees. The Stockholder Group acknowledges that as a condition to the appointment and nomination of the New Nominee, such New Nominee shall (i) have completed and executed the Company’s Director Questionnaire, the Company’s board nominee representation letter and such other materials as customarily requested of director candidates (each as provided to the Stockholder Group prior to the date hereof) and (ii) have agreed to provide the information that is required to be or is customarily disclosed for candidates for directors and directors in a proxy statement and similar documents under the securities laws applicable to the Company and/or the rules and regulations of the stock exchange(s) on which the Company’s Shares are listed and such other customary information as reasonably requested by the Company of other director candidates and directors, and to comply with all policies, codes of conduct, confidentiality obligations (including agreeing to preserve the confidentiality of Company business and information, including discussions of matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees or otherwise among directors and/or management), securities trading policies, director qualification requirements and codes of ethics generally applicable to all of the Company’s non-management directors (each as provided to the Stockholder Group prior to the date hereof). Each of the Stockholders also agrees to provide upon request such information about itself and its Affiliates and Associates as is required to be or is customarily disclosed in a proxy statement and similar documents under the securities laws applicable to the Company and/or the rules and regulations of the stock exchange(s) on which the Company’s Shares are listed and such other customary information as reasonably requested by the Company for purposes of satisfying any legal disclosure requirements. The New Nominee shall be compensated for his service as a director and shall be reimbursed for his expenses on the same basis as all other non-employee directors of the Company, and shall be entitled to the same rights of indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as the other non-employee directors of the Company, all as such rights may exist from time to time.
Nominations 4.01 Transportation Services provided hereunder shall be in accordance with the prescribed nominations procedure as set out in Schedule “B 2010” of Union’s C1 Rate Schedule.
Board Composition and Board Designations The Company shall ensure that: (i) the qualifications of the persons serving as members of the Board of Directors and the overall composition of the Board comply with the Sxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, with the Exchange Act and with the listing rules of the Exchange or any other national securities exchange, as the case may be, in the event the Company seeks to have its Public Securities listed on another exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system, and (ii) if applicable, at least one member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined under Regulation S-K and the listing rules of the Exchange.
Additional Mandatory Registrations The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously registered on an Additional Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of the SEC does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with the SEC; provided that after two rejections by the SEC of Additional Registration Statements, the Company shall not be required to file Additional Registration Statements more frequently than once per sixty day period commencing subsequent to the second rejection. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use Form S-1 or such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Plan of Distribution" and "Selling Shareholders" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be required by law. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the second (2nd) Business Day following the Additional Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement.
Board Nomination Rights (a) From the Effective Date, VEP Group shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate to the Board a number of designees equal to at least: (i) 100% of the Total Number of Directors (as defined below), so long as Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 40% of the Original Amount of VEP Group, (ii) 40% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 30% but less than 40% of the Original Amount of VEP Group, (iii) 30% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 20% but less than 30% of the Original Amount of VEP Group, (iv) 20% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 10% but less than 20% of the Original Amount of VEP Group and (v) 1 Director (as defined below), in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the Original Amount of VEP Group (such persons, the “Nominees”). For purposes of calculating the number of directors that VEP Group is entitled to designate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any fractional amounts shall automatically be rounded up to the nearest whole number (e.g., 1¼ Directors shall equate to 2 Directors) and any such calculations shall be made after taking into account any increase in the Total Number of Directors.
Board Nominees (1) So long as Second City, together with its Controlled Entities, owns (a) thirty percent (30%) or more of the outstanding REIT Shares (assuming all outstanding Partnership Common Units not held by the General Partner or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries that owns Partnership Common Units are tendered for Redemption and exchanged for REIT Shares, regardless of whether such Partnership Common Units are then eligible for Redemption), Second City shall have the right from time to time to designate individuals for nomination for election by the stockholders to the board of directors of the General Partner, such that the number of directors serving (or who would serve upon election), and who are or had been designated for nomination or nominated to serve by Second City, shall equal (i) if the number of directors comprising the entire board of directors of the General Partner is six or more, two; or (ii) if the number of directors comprising the entire board of directors of the General Partner is five or fewer, one; or (b) less than thirty percent (30%) but at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding REIT Shares (assuming all outstanding Partnership Common Units not held by the General Partner or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries that owns Partnership Common Units are tendered for Redemption and exchanged for REIT Shares, regardless of whether such Partnership Common Units are then eligible for Redemption), Second City shall have the right from time to time to designate individuals for nomination for election by the stockholders to the board of directors of the General Partner, such that the number of directors serving (or who would serve upon election), and who are or had been designated for nomination or nominated to serve by Second City, shall equal one. If Second City, together with its Controlled Entities, owns less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding REIT Shares (assuming all outstanding Partnership Common Units not held by the General Partner or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries that owns Partnership Common Units are tendered for Redemption and exchanged for REIT Shares, regardless of whether such Partnership Common Units are then eligible for Redemption), Second City shall have no right under this Section 8.8 to designate for nomination any individual to serve on the board of directors of the General Partner. The General Partner, acting through its Board of Directors, will recommend and use all commercially reasonable good faith efforts to cause the election of each Second City Nominee designated in accordance with the foregoing. The General Partner agrees to use all reasonable efforts to solicit proxies for such Second City Nominees from all holders of REIT Shares and/or other voting stock entitled to vote thereon.
Additional Directors Notwithstanding Articles 13.1 and 13.2, between annual general meetings or unanimous resolutions contemplated by Article 10.2, the directors may appoint one or more additional directors, but the number of additional directors appointed under this Article 14.8 must not at any time exceed:
Additional Members One or more additional members may be admitted to the Company with the consent of the Member. Prior to the admission of any such additional members to the Company, the Member shall amend this Agreement to make such changes as the Member shall determine to reflect the fact that the Company shall have such additional members. Each additional member shall execute and deliver a supplement or counterpart to this Agreement, as necessary.
Initial Mandatory Registration The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the Initial Filing Deadline, file with the SEC a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 or, if Rule 415 is not available for offers and sales of the Registrable Securities, by such other means of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Investors may reasonably specify, in respect of which the Company may use a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor short form registration statement available for such resale that permits incorporation by reference at least to the same extent as such form) or, if a registration statement on Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities. The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of Registrable Securities equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC (subject to subsequent reduction if directed by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall use best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the Initial Effectiveness Deadline and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement remain continuously effective under the 1933 Act until such date on which there are no longer any Registrable Securities covered by such Initial Registration Statement.
