Subject to applicable law, the Company shall take all action requested by Parent necessary to effect any such election, including mailing to its stockholders the information statement (the "Information Statement") containing the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14(f)-1 promulgated thereunder, and the Company shall make such mailing with the mailing of the Schedule 14D-9 (provided that Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall have provided to the Company on a timely basis all information required to be included in the Information Statement with respect to Merger Subsidiary's designees). In connection with the foregoing, the Company will, subject to applicable law, promptly either increase the size of the Board of Directors of the Company and/or obtain the resignation of such number of its current directors as is necessary to enable Merger Subsidiary's designees to be elected or appointed to the Company's Board of Directors as provided above; provided, however, that prior to the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.03) the Board of Directors of the Company shall always have at least two (2) members who are neither officers, directors, stockholders or designees of Merger Subsidiary or any of its affiliates ("Merger Subsidiary Insiders") and each committee of the Board of Directors of the Company shall have at least one (1) member who is not a Merger Subsidiary Insider.
