The initial Seller Holdco Board Designees will be Xxxx Xxxxxx, E-Xxx Xxxx and one (1) Director that is independent under the rules and regulations of NASDAQ and the SEC.

(b) Board and Committee Designation Rights.

(i) For so long as the Seller Holdco Parties Beneficially Own ten percent (10%) or more of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, subject to Section 2.2 below, Seller Holdco shall have the right, but not the obligation, to propose for nomination to the Board by the Company’s stockholders a number of individuals (any such designee, a “Seller Holdco Board Designee”) in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(iii); provided, that in no event shall Seller Holdco have the right to propose for nomination more than three (3) Seller Holdco Board Designees. No delay by Seller Holdco in proposing any Seller Holdco Board Designee shall impair its right to subsequently propose any Seller Holdco Board Designee. In the event that Seller Holdco has nominated less than the total number of nominees that Seller Holdco is entitled to propose pursuant to this Section 2.1(b)(iii), Seller Holdco shall have the right, at any time, to propose such additional Seller Holdco Board nominees to which it is entitled, in which case, the Board shall, at such time, expand the size of the Board if necessary and appoint such additional Seller Holdco Board Nominees subject to Section 2.2 below.

(ii) Until Seller Holdco no longer has any rights under Section 2.1(b)(i) and Section 2.1(b)(iii) to designate any Seller Holdco Board Designee to serve on the Board and subject to Section 2.2 below, Seller Holdco shall be entitled, but not obligated, to cause the Board to designate a number of Seller Holdco Board Designees to serve as members of each Committee proportional to the number of Seller Holdco Board Designees on the Board, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(iii) Following the date hereof, the number of individuals that Seller Holdco is entitled to designate to serve as Directors shall be equal to the percentage of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock that is Beneficially Owned by the Seller Holdco Parties multiplied by the Total Number of Directors, rounded to the nearest whole number, subject to a maximum of three (3); provided, that so long as Seller Holdco has the right to propose for nomination two (2) or three (3) Directors, one (1) shall be independent under the rules and regulations of NASDAQ and the SEC; provided, further, that the Seller Holdco Parties shall be entitled to designate zero (0) Directors if, at any time, the Seller Holdco Parties, in the aggregate, Beneficially Own less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Any step-down reductions in the number of individuals that Seller Holdco is entitled to designate to serve as Directors pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or Section 2.1(b) is referred to in either case hereinafter as the “Board Stepdown.”

(c) Resignations. In the event that the number of Seller Holdco Board Designees that Seller Holdco is entitled to appoint as Directors or members of a Committee pursuant to Section 2.1(b) is reduced and adjusted in accordance with the terms thereof, Seller Holdco shall immediately use its reasonable best efforts to cause such excess number of Seller

Holdco Board Designees to promptly tender his, her or their resignation from the Board and any applicable Committee. If the relevant Seller Holdco Board Designee does not promptly tender his, her or their resignation from the Board, such Seller Holdco Board Designee shall not thereafter be entitled to participate as a member of the Board or any applicable Committee pursuant to this Agreement, and the Board shall be entitled to take all necessary actions to promptly remove such Seller Holdco Board Designee from the Board and any applicable Committees.

Subject to the provisions of this Article II, including the qualification provisions in Section 2.2, in the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, resignation, removal, disqualification or other cause, except in the case of vacancy resulting from, or related to, the Board Stepdown, of any Seller Holdco Board Designee, including the failure of any Seller Holdco Board Designee to be elected at a meeting of stockholders of the Company, Seller Holdco shall have the right to designate a replacement to fill such vacancy (but only if Seller Holdco would be then entitled to propose such designee for nomination to the Board pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i)), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such vacancy to be filled by, a new Seller Holdco Board Designee who meets the Designee Qualifications, and the Company and the Board shall take, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same as soon as possible following such designation.

(e) Assurances. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law but subject to Section 2.2, to (i) include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election at any meeting of stockholders (and in any election by written consent) called for the purpose of electing directors the applicable Person(s) proposed for nomination pursuant to this Article II, (ii) propose for nomination and recommend each such Person(s) to be elected as a Director as provided herein, and (iii) use the same efforts to cause the election of such nominees as it uses to cause other nominees recommended by the Board to be elected, including soliciting proxies or consents in favor thereof.

The Company shall at all times provide each Seller Holdco Board Designee (in his or her capacity as a Director) with the same rights to indemnification and exculpation that it provides to other Directors. In addition, in his or her capacity as a member of the Board or any applicable Committee on which he or she formally serves as a member, such Seller Holdco Board Designee shall be entitled to receive (i) any and all applicable Director and Committee fees and compensation that are payable to the Company’s non-management Directors as part of the Company’s director compensation plan, and (ii) reimbursement of all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses that he or she incurs in connection with performing Board and any applicable Committee duties consistent with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy applicable to non-management Directors.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that any Seller Holdco Board Designees who are partners, members, employees, or consultants of Apollo Global Management, Inc. and/or any of its Affiliates (each, an “Apollo Entity”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the applicable Apollo Entity (collectively, the “Apollo Indemnitors”).

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and/or any indemnification agreements to any Seller Holdco Board Designee in his or her capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (such that the Company’s obligations to such indemnitees in their capacities as directors are primary and any obligation of the Apollo Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitees are secondary). Such indemnitees shall, in their capacities as directors, be entitled to all the rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and entitled to insurance to the extent provided under (i) Organizational Documents of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in effect from time to time and/or (ii) such other agreement, if any, between the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such indemnitees, on the other hand, without regards to any rights such indemnitees may have against the Apollo Indemnitors. No advancement or payment by the Apollo Indemnitors on behalf of such indemnitees with respect to any claim for which such indemnitees have sought indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance from the Company in their capacities as directors shall affect the foregoing and the Apollo Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such indemnitees against the Company and/or its applicable Subsidiaries.
