CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS
2.1 Election of Directors
(a) As of the Closing Date, subject to any provision in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) enabling the Board to change the total number of authorized directors on the Board, the Board shall be comprised of eleven (11) directors. As of the Closing Date, five (5) of the directors of the Board shall be deemed to have been designated by the DC Capital Group. The foregoing directors shall be divided into three classes of directors, each of whose members shall serve for staggered three-year terms as follows:
(i) the class I directors shall initially include no DC Capital Designees (as defined in Section 2.1(c) below).
(ii) the class II directors shall initially include two DC Capital Designees.
(iii) the class III directors shall initially include three DC Capital Designees.
The initial term of the class I directors shall expire immediately following the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected. The initial term of the class II directors shall expire immediately following the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected. The initial term of the class III directors shall expire immediately following the Company’s 2021 annual meeting at which directors are elected.
(b) Following the Closing Date, the DC Capital Group shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate to the Board a number of designees equal to at least: (i) 40% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the DC Capital Entities collectively beneficially own 40% or more, but less than 50%, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) 30% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the DC Capital Entities collectively beneficially own 30% or more, but less than 40%, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (iii) 20% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the DC Capital Entities collectively beneficially own 20% or more, but less than 30%, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (iv) 10% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the DC Capital Entities collectively beneficially own 5% or more, but less than 20%, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of calculating the number of directors that the DC Capital Group is entitled to designate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any fractional amounts shall automatically be rounded up to the nearest whole number (e.g., one and one quarter (11/4) Directors shall equate to two (2) Directors) and any such calculations shall be made after taking into account any increase in the Total Number of Directors.
(c) In the event that the DC Capital Group has nominated less than the total number of designees, the DC Capital Group shall be entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the DC Capital Group 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 (including with respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware law), the Stock Exchange rules and the Certificate, to (x) enable the DC Capital Group to nominate and effect the election or appointment of such additional individuals and (y) to designate such additional individuals nominated by the DC Capital Group to fill such newly-created vacancies or to fill any other existing vacancies. Each such person whom the DC Capital Group shall actually nominate pursuant to this Section 2.1 and who is thereafter elected to the Board to serve as a Director shall be referred to herein as a “DC Capital Designee”.
(d) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, retirement or resignation of any Director designated pursuant to this Section 2.1, the remaining Directors and the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including with respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware law) and the Stock Exchange rules, cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled by a new designee of the DC Capital Group as soon as possible (provided that DC Capital Group has such right to nominate the new designee pursuant to this Section 2.1), and the Company hereby agrees to take, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including with respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware law) and the Stock Exchange rules, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same.
(e) The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including with respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware law) and the Stock Exchange rules, to cause the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board and the Board 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 use its best efforts to cause the election of each such designee to the Board, including nominating each such individual to be elected as a Director as provided herein, recommending such individual’s election and soliciting proxies or consents in favor thereof.
(f) Upon any decrease in the number of directors that the DC Capital Group is entitled to designate for nomination to the Board, and a resulting decrease in the number of DC Capital Designees on the Board, the remaining DC Capital Designees will be, to the extent possible, evenly distributed among all classes of directors with such designees first being assigned to classes with the longest remaining terms.
(g) The Company shall pay or reimburse the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the DC Capital Designees in connection with their service on the Board (and any committee thereof) or in connection with their service on the board or other similar governing body of any Subsidiary of the Company (and any committee thereof).
(h) An individual designated by the DC Capital Group for election (including pursuant to Sections 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 2.1(c) and 2.1(d)) as a Director shall comply with the requirements of the charter of the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board, the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and the Stock Exchange rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1, in the event that the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that its nomination, appointment or election of a particular DC Capital Designee pursuant to this Section 2.1 would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders or does not otherwise comply with any requirements of the charter of the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board, the Company’s corporate governance guidelines or the Stock Exchange rules (provided that any such determination with respect to any DC Capital Designee pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be made no later than sixty (60) days after the individual’s compliance with the first sentence of this Section 2.1(i)), then the Board shall inform the DC Capital Group of such determination in writing and explain in reasonable detail the basis for such determination and shall designate another individual designated for nomination, election or appointment to the Board by the DC Capital Group (subject in each case to this Section 2.1(i)), and the Board and the Company shall take all of the actions required by this Section 2.1 with respect to the election of such substitute DC Capital Designee. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the fact that a particular DC Capital Designee is an Affiliate, director, professional, partner, member, manager, employee or agent of the DC Capital Group or is not an independent director shall not in and of itself constitute an acceptable basis for such determination by the Board.
2.2 Confidentiality. Each DC Capital Designee is permitted to disclose to the DC Capital Entities information about the Company and its Affiliates he or she receives as a result of being a Director, for the purposes of the DC Capital Entities’ investment in the Company or its Subsidiaries.
ARTICLE III.

3.1 Books and Records; Access. 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. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, permit the DC Capital Entities and their respective designated representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company, to review 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; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any privileged information of the Company so long as the Company has used its best efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information to the DC Capital Entities without the loss of any such privilege.
3.2 Certain Reports. The Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the DC Capital Entities, at their request:
(a) to the extent otherwise prepared by the Company, operating and capital expenditure budgets and periodic information packages relating to the operations and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and

provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any privileged information of the Company so long as the Company has used its best efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information to the DC Capital Entities without the loss of any such privilege.
ARTICLE IV.
INDEMNIFICATION
4.1 Indemnification. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Company and Holdings, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Covered Person from and against any Losses (other than for taxes based on fees or other compensation received by such Covered Person from the Company or its Subsidiaries), expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes and other amounts which may be imposed on, asserted against, paid in settlement, reasonably incurred or suffered by such Covered Person or any of them, as a party or otherwise, before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Third-Party Claim arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with a DC Capital Entity’s or their other Covered Persons’ investment in, or actual, alleged or deemed control or ability to influence, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if the Covered Person’s conduct was in good faith and to the extent such Losses did not arise out of a breach by such Covered Person or its Affiliates of this Agreement or the LLC Agreement; and, if the Covered Person is a director, officer or employee of the Company or Holdings (or an Affiliate controlled by, or a successor, heir, estate or legal representative or a director, officer or employee of the Company or Holdings), the Covered Person acted in good faith and reasonably believed (or, if the Covered Person is a successor, heir, or estate of, a director, officer or employee of the Company or Holdings, then such director, officer or employee of the Company or Holdings, as applicable, acted in good faith and reasonably believed) that his, her or its conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and Holdings and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, and did not include any transaction from which such Covered Person derived an improper personal benefit. The termination of any Third-Party Claim by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Person’s conduct was unlawful. If and to the extent that the foregoing indemnification is unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, each of the Company and Holdings hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The rights of any Covered Person to indemnification and contribution hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Covered Person is or becomes a party or is otherwise becomes the beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the organizational documents of the Company or, any of its Subsidiaries and shall extend to such Covered Person’s successors and assigns. The Company and Holdings shall not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any action effected without their written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if any action is settled with written consent of the Company and Holdings and such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against the Covered Person or if there is a final judgment against a Covered Person in any such action, each of the Company and Holdings jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Covered Person to the extent provided above from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, the Company and Holdings shall not be required to indemnify a Covered Person for any disgorgement of profits made from the purchase or sale by such Covered Person of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or to indemnify or advance expenses to a Covered Person in any circumstance where such indemnification has been determined to be prohibited by law by a final (not interlocutory) judgment or other adjudication of a court or arbitration or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as to which there is no further right or option of appeal or the time within which an appeal must be filed has expired without such filing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Covered Persons shall be a third party beneficiary of the rights conferred to such Covered Persons in this Section 4.1. This Section 4.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(b) To the extent provided in this Section 4.2, the Company and Holdings hereby agree that they are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to any Covered Person under this Agreement are primary and any obligation of any DC Capital Entity (or any Affiliate thereof) to provide advancement or indemnification for the same Losses (including all interest, assessment and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Losses) incurred by a Covered Person are secondary), and if any DC Capital Entity (or any Affiliate thereof) pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder or under any other indemnification agreement (whether pursuant to contract, bylaws or charter) with any Covered Person, then (i) such DC Capital Entity (or such Affiliate, as the case may be) shall be fully subrogated to all rights of the Covered Person with respect to the payments actually made and (ii) the Company shall reimburse such DC Capital Entity (or such other Affiliate) for the payments actually made. The Company and Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive, relinquish and release (and covenant and agree not to exercise, and to cause each Affiliate of the Company and Holdings not to exercise), any claims or rights that the Company or Holdings may now have or hereafter acquire against any Covered Person (in any capacity) that arise from or relate to the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s or Holdings’ obligations under this Agreement or under any indemnification obligation (whether pursuant to any other contract, any organizational document or otherwise), including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Covered Person against any Covered Person, whether such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, law or otherwise, including any right to claim, take or receive from any Covered Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, any payment or security or other credit support on account of such claim, remedy or right.
