The Series A Holders, voting together as a single class with the holders of any series of Parity Securities then Outstanding upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (any such series, “Other Voting Preferred Shares”), will be entitled to vote, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast, for the election of those two additional Directors (“Series A Nonpayment Directors”) at a special meeting of the Series A Holders (any such meeting, a “Series A Nonpayment Meeting”) and the holders of such Other Voting Preferred Shares and at each subsequent annual meeting of Common Members at which such Series A Nonpayment Directors are up for re-election; provided that when all distributions accumulated on the Series A Preferred Shares for all past Distribution Periods and the then current Distribution Period shall have been fully paid, the right of Series A Holders to elect any Directors will cease and, unless there are any Other Voting Preferred Shares that are then entitled to vote for the election of Directors, the term of office of the Series A Nonpayment Directors will forthwith terminate, the Series A Nonpayment Directors elected by Series A Holders shall immediately resign and the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. However, the right of the Series A Holders and holders of any Other Voting Preferred Shares to elect two additional Directors will again vest if and whenever six additional quarterly distributions have not been declared and paid, as set forth in this Section 2.7(b)(i). In no event shall the Series A Holders be entitled pursuant to these voting rights to elect a Director that would cause the Company to fail to satisfy a requirement relating to director independence of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which any class or series of the Company’s Capital Stock is listed or quoted. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the total number of Directors elected by Series A Holders and holders of any Other Voting Preferred Shares exceed two.
