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.
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.
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.
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. Nothing herein shall prevent the incumbent Disinterested Directors from soliciting the views or the involvement of others in such selection or nominations as long as the final decision on any such selection and nomination is approved by a majority of the incumbent Disinterested Directors.
Nominations Nominees for Director positions up for election shall be named by the then-current Directors or by a nominating committee established by the Directors. Nominations may also be made by any Member entitled to vote in the election of Directors. Any Member that intends to nominate a Person for election as a Director may do so only if written notice of such Member’s intent to make such nomination is given not less than Forty-Five (45) nor more than Ninety (90) days prior to the first day of the month corresponding to the anniversary date of the annual meeting of the Company for the prior year. Each such notice shall set forth: (i) the name and address of the Member who intends to make the nomination; (ii) a representation that the Member is a holder of record of Units entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the Person specified in the notice; (iii) the name, age, address and principal occupation/employment of each nominee; (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the Member and each nominee and any other Person(s) pursuant to which such nominations are to be made; (v) such other information regarding each nominee as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; (vi) the consent of each nominee to serve as a Director if so elected; and (vii) a nominating petition signed and dated by the holders of at least Five Percent (5%) of the then outstanding Units and clearly setting forth the proposed nominee as a candidate for the Director’s seat to be filled.

The presiding Officer of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, and if so determined, the defective nomination shall be disregarded. The amendment or repeal of this Section 5.3 or the adoption of any provision inconsistent therewith shall require the approval of a majority of the Membership Voting Interests.
