ARTICLE II
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
2.1 Election of Directors.
(a) Following the Effective Date, Corsair LP shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate to the Board a number of designees equal to (i) five Directors, so long as EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 50% or more of the shares of Common Stock, (ii) four Directors, in the event that EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 40% or more, but less than 50%, of the shares of Common Stock, (iii) three Directors, in the event that EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 30% or more, but less than 40%, of the shares of Common Stock , (iv) two Directors, in the event that EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 20% or more, but less than 30%, of the shares of Common Stock and (v) one Director, in the event that EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 10% or more, but less than 20%, of the shares of Common Stock. Corsair LP shall not have the right to nominate any designees to the Board in the event that EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In the event of any increase or decrease in the size of the Board consistent with the requirements of Section 2.4 of this Agreement, the number of Directors for which Corsair LP shall have the right to nominate to the Board pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) shall be automatically adjusted proportionately as closely as possible (rounding up to the next whole Director where necessary) to reflect the proportionate rights of Corsair LP to nominate Directors based on EagleTree’s beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. The Board shall set forth the determination of such changes consistent with this Section 2.1(a) in its resolution or resolutions effectuating the change in size of the Board and such terms shall automatically be incorporated herein without further action on behalf of the parties hereto.
(b) The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to take all necessary and desirable actions (subject to any applicable stock exchange or listing requirements) to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors the persons designated pursuant to this Section 2.1 and to nominate and recommend each such individual to be elected as a Director as provided herein, and to solicit proxies or consents in favor thereof. The Company is entitled, solely for the purposes set forth in this Section 2.1(b), to identify such individual as an EagleTree Designee pursuant to this Agreement.
- 3 -
I In the event that Corsair LP has nominated fewer than the total number of designees Corsair LP shall be entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 2.1(a), Corsair LP shall have the right, at any time, to nominate such additional designees to which it is entitled, in which case, the Company and the Directors shall take all necessary corporate action, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to (x) enable Corsair LP to nominate and effect the election or appointment of such additional individuals, whether by increasing the size of the Board or otherwise, and (y) to effect the election or appointment of such additional individuals nominated by Corsair LP to fill such newly-created directorships or to fill any other existing vacancies. Each such person whom EagleTree actually nominates pursuant to this Section 2.1 and whom is thereafter elected to the Board to serve as a Director shall be referred to herein as an “EagleTree Designee”.
(d) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, retirement or resignation of any EagleTree Designee, the remaining Directors and the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, take all actions necessary at any time and from time to time to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled by a new designee of Corsair LP, as soon as possible. Such new designee will be chosen by a majority of the EagleTree Designees on the Board at that time or, if there are none, by Corsair LP.
2.2 Committee Membership. So long as EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 20% or more of the shares of Common Stock, the Company shall take all necessary and desirable actions to cause each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to include in its membership at least one of the EagleTree Designees. Such EagleTree Designee committee member will be chosen by Corsair LP, except to the extent such membership would violate applicable federal securities laws or the listing requirements of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are then listed.
2.3 Chairman of the Board. So long as EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 20% or more of the shares of Common Stock, Corsair LP shall have the right to designate the Chairman of the Board from among the EagleTree Designees. For the avoidance of doubt, if EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 20% of the shares of Common Stock, the Chairman of the Board is not required by this Agreement to be an EagleTree Designee.
2.4 Size of Board. As of the Effective Date, the Board shall have established by resolution that the total number of Directors constituting the Board on the Effective Date shall be eight. So long as EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 20% or more of the shares of Common Stock, any increases or decreases to the size of the Board will require approval by at least a majority of the EagleTree Designees then serving as Directors or, if no EagleTree Designee is then serving as a Director, the written approval of Corsair LP.
2.5 Amendments to the Charter and Bylaws. So long as EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 50% or more of the shares of Common Stock, the Board shall not take any action to cause the Company to amend the provisions in the Charter or Bylaws:
(a) providing that Directors may be removed with or without cause upon majority vote of the outstanding shares of Common Stock;
(b) changing the size of the Board;
I providing for stockholder action by written consent when EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 50% or more of the shares of Common Stock; or
(d) providing for the ability to call special meetings of stockholders when EagleTree beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 50% or more of the shares of Common Stock.
2.6 Fees. For so long as the Company is a “controlled company” for purposes of the stock exchange rules, the EagleTree Designees shall not receive any compensation from the Company for their service as directors of the Board (including for service as chairman of the Board) or members of committees of the Board (including for service as chairman of any committee). However, the Company shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each EagleTree Designee in connection with performing his or her duties as a member of the Board or any committee thereof, including the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such person for attending meetings of the Board or any committee thereof or meetings of any board of directors or other similar managing body (and any committee thereof) of any Subsidiary of the Company. In addition, the Company will reimburse
- 4 -
EagleTree for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by employees of EagleTree as it relates to Company matters and incurred at the request of the EagleTree Designees; provided that such amount shall not include salaries of such employees, any EagleTree overhead or any costs that are not directly related to Company matters.

The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books, records and accounts, in which full and correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions and the assets and business of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For so long as (x) no EagleTree Designee is then serving as a Director, and (y) EagleTree beneficially owns 3 % or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, permit Corsair LP and its designated representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company, to inspect, review and/or make copies and extracts from the books and records of the Company or any of such Subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs, finances and condition of the Company or any of such Subsidiaries with the officers of the Company or any such Subsidiary.

Subject to Section 3.2, Corsair LP (and any party receiving Information from Corsair LP) shall receive Information and shall maintain the confidentiality of such Information, and the Company shall not be required to disclose any privileged Information of the Company so long as the Company has used its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information to Corsair LP without the loss of any such privilege.
3.2 Sharing of Information. Individuals associated with EagleTree may from time to time serve on the Board or the equivalent governing body of the Company’s Subsidiaries. The Company, on its behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, recognizes that such individuals (i) shall from time to time receive non-public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) may (subject to the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with Section 3.1) share such information with EagleTree, EagleTree’s direct and indirect investors and other individuals associated with EagleTree. Such sharing shall be for the dual purpose of facilitating support to such individuals in their capacity as Directors (or members of the governing body of any Subsidiary) and enabling EagleTree and its direct and indirect investors to better evaluate the Company’s performance and prospects. The Company, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably consents to such sharing.

In any such judicial proceeding, the parties agree that in addition to any method for the service of process permitted or required by such courts, to the fullest extent permitted by law, service of process may be made by delivery provided pursuant to the directions in Section 4.2.
