(h) Each Stockholder agrees that he, she or it will not bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute, participate in or voluntarily aid any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any governmental entity that challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement.
(i) As a condition to the appointment of any Stockholder’s designee to the Board in accordance with this Section 6, (x) such Person shall provide, and the designating Stockholder shall cause (and with respect to the Independent Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, the Stockholders shall mutually cause) such Person to provide, any information that the Corporation reasonably requires, including without limitation information required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing under applicable law, stock exchange rules or listing standards, information in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors or satisfying compliance and legal obligations, (y) such Person shall consent, and the designating Stockholder shall cause (and with respect to the Independent Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, the Stockholders shall mutually cause) such Person to consent, to reasonable and customary background checks, and (z) such Person shall execute and deliver to the Corporation in accordance with Section 141(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and the designating Stockholder shall cause (and with respect to the Independent Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, the Stockholders shall mutually cause) such Person to so execute and deliver, such Person’s written resignation as a director, which resignation shall be irrevocable and shall provide that it becomes effective immediately upon the delivery of a Resignation Request validly given in accordance with this Section 6(g).

If for any reason any such Person’s resignation shall not have become effective immediately upon and by virtue of the delivery of a Resignation Request validly delivered in accordance with this Section 6(g), then immediately following the delivery thereof, such Person shall, and the designating Stockholder shall cause (and with respect to the Independent Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, the Stockholders shall mutually cause) such Person to, take any and all actions to resign from the Board and any committees thereof which shall be effective immediately.
14 |
(j) For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any member of the Board not designated in accordance with the terms of this Section 6 shall be voted upon by all the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Governance Documents.
(k) The obligations of each Stockholder under this Section 6 shall terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7(b)(iii) with respect to either the Tengram Stockholders or the GSO Stockholders (or their respective successors and assigns) and (ii) termination by the mutual agreement of the Corporation and the Stockholders.

(i) In recognition and anticipation that (A) certain directors, principals, officers, employees and/or other representatives of the GSO Stockholders and the Tengram Stockholders (the “Sponsors”) and their respective Affiliates may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Corporation, (B) the Sponsors and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, and (C) members of the Board who are not employees of the Corporation (the “Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this Section 7(n) are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve any of the Sponsors, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.
20 |
(ii) None of (A) the Sponsors or any of their respective Affiliates or (B) any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of the Corporation in both his or her director and officer capacities) or his or her Affiliates (the Persons identified in (A) and (B) above being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (1) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section 9(n)(iii). Subject to Section 7(n)(iii), in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person.
(iii) The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of this Corporation) if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section 7(n)(ii) shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.
(iv) In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(n), a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.
(v) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article IX.
(vi) The Board’s adoption of the resolutions authorizing the Corporation’s entry into this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute, and shall constitute, the resolution of the Board approving the renunciation of corporate opportunities provided for in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 7(n) for all purposes, including under Section 122(17) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
