Composition of the Board of Directors Promptly upon the Share Purchase, Sub shall be entitled to designate such number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Corporation, rounded up to the next whole number, as will give Sub, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act, representation on such Board of Directors equal to at least that number of directors which equals the product of the total number of directors on the Board of Directors (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so accepted for payment and paid for or otherwise acquired or owned by Sub or Parent and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, and the Corporation and its Board of Directors shall, at such time, take any and all such action needed to cause Sub's designees to be appointed to the Corporation's Board of Directors (including to cause directors to resign). Promptly upon the Share Purchase, Corporation and its Board of Directors shall take such further action as may be requested by Sub to cause Sub's designees to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of each direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Corporation (other than Allied Bond & Collection Agency, Inc.). Subject to applicable law, the Corporation shall take all action requested by Parent which is reasonably necessary to effect any such election, including mailing to its shareholders an Information Statement containing the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, and the Corporation agrees to make such mailing with the mailing of the Schedule 14D-9 so long as Sub shall have provided to the Corporation on a timely basis all information required to be included in such Information Statement with respect to Sub's designees. In furtherance thereof, the Corporation will increase the size of the Corporation's Board of Directors, or use its reasonable efforts to secure the resignation of directors, or both, as is necessary to permit Sub's designees to be elected to the Corporation's Board of Directors. Upon the Share Purchase (as defined in Section 1.1 hereof) all directors of the Corporation, other than Sub's designees and two directors of Corporation, and, unless otherwise agreed, all officers of the Corporation shall resign.
Committees of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. If a member of a committee shall be absent from any meeting, or disqualified from voting thereat, the remaining member or members present at the meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may, by a unanimous vote, appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it to the extent so authorized by the Board of Directors. Unless the Board of Directors provides otherwise, at all meetings of such committee, a majority of the then authorized members of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the members of the committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the committee. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings. Unless the Board of Directors provides otherwise, each committee designated by the Board of Directors may make, alter and repeal rules and procedures for the conduct of its business. In the absence of such rules and procedures each committee shall conduct its business in the same manner as the Board of Directors conducts its business pursuant to this Article III.
The Board of Trustees of the Fund shall promptly notify the Insurer in writing of its determination of the existence of an irreconcilable material conflict and its implications.

The Persons constituting the Board (each, a “Manager”) will be (i) the “managers” of the Company for all purposes under the Act and (ii) the Board for all purposes under this Agreement. The Board will have the power to act only by a majority of the Managers in accordance with the provisions and in the manner specified herein.

The Board will initially consist of three members and shall initially consist of, Nxxxx Xxxxxxx, Jxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Exx Xxxxxxxxx as the Independent Manager, who shall serve until they resign or are replaced by a majority of the Board, and new members of the Board shall be appointed by a majority of the Board.

The size of the Board may be increased, including, without limitation, in connection with forming a Special Committee, or decreased from time to time by action of the Board.
Directors of the Company (a) Upon the Acceptance Date, Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors of the Company as is equal to the product obtained by multiplying the total number of directors on such Board (giving effect to the directors designated by Parent pursuant to this sentence) by the percentage that the number of shares of Company Common Stock purchased and paid for by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer, plus any shares beneficially owned by Parent or its affiliates on the date of such purchase and payment, bears to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding. On the expiration of any subsequent offering period (as provided by Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act), Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors of the Company as is equal to the product obtained by multiplying the total number of directors on such Board (giving effect to the directors designated by Parent pursuant to this and the immediately preceding sentence) by the percentage that the number of shares of Company Common Stock purchased and paid for by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer (including, but not limited to, the number of shares purchased in any subsequent offering period), plus any shares beneficially owned by Parent or its Affiliates on the date of such purchase and payment in the subsequent offering period, bears to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding. In furtherance of the rights and obligations set forth in the immediately foregoing two sentences, the Company shall, upon request of Parent, promptly increase the size of its Board of Directors, or it shall secure the resignations of such number of directors, or both, as is necessary to enable Parent's designees to be so elected to the Company's Board and, subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, shall cause Parent's designees to be so elected. At such time, the Company shall, if requested by Parent, also cause directors designated by Parent to constitute at least the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company's Board of Directors of each committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Company Common Stock are purchased pursuant to the Offer, there shall be until the Effective Time at least two members of the Company's Board of Directors who are directors on the date hereof and are not employees of the Company.
