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 Nomination (a) In accordance with the Company’s organizational documents and applicable law, the Company agrees that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) will, no later than five (5) business days following the execution of this Agreement, expand the size of the Board and appoint R. 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.
RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of the shares for which the Option has been exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 9. If the Participant is an Employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the Participant’s employment is “at will” and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Participant’s Service as a Director, an Employee or Consultant, as the case may be, at any time.
Independent Director As long as any Obligation is outstanding, the Member shall cause the Company at all times to have at least two Independent Directors who will be appointed by the Member. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, the Independent Directors shall consider only the interests of the Company, including its respective creditors, in acting or otherwise voting on the matters referred to in Section 9(j)(iii). No resignation or removal of an Independent Director, and no appointment of a successor Independent Director, shall be effective until such successor (i) shall have accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Director by a written instrument, which may be a counterpart signature page to the Management Agreement, and (ii) shall have executed a counterpart to this Agreement as required by Section 5(c). In the event of a vacancy in the position of Independent Director, the Member shall, as soon as practicable, appoint a successor Independent Director. All right, power and authority of the Independent Directors shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except as provided in the second sentence of this Section 10, in exercising their rights and performing their duties under this Agreement, any Independent Director shall have a fiduciary duty of loyalty and care similar to that of a director of a business corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. No Independent Director shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Company.

Selection and Nomination of Directors While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of persons to be Directors of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of the Fund ("Disinterested Directors") shall be committed to the discretion of the incumbent Disinterested Directors.
