In the event that any Stockholder Designee shall fail to be elected to the Board at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors (or consent in lieu of meeting), the

Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Stockholder Designee (or a new designee of the Designator Committee) to be elected to the Board, as soon as possible, and the Company shall take or cause to be taken, to the fullest extent permitted by law, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same, including, without limitation, actions to effect an increase in the Total Number of Directors.

(f) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein, the determination of the individuals to be designated by the Designator Committee pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.1(f).

(i) For so long as the Designator Committee shall have the right to designate a number of individuals equal to the Total Number of Directors pursuant to Section 2.1(b) above, (x) the Founder Group shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Designator Committee to, and the Designator Committee shall, designate two (2) directors selected by the Founder Group in the Founder Group’s sole discretion; (y) the First Reserve Group shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Designator Committee to, and the Designator Committee shall, designate two (2) directors selected by the First Reserve Group in the First Reserve Group’s sole discretion; and (z) each other designee will be designated by the Designator Committee; provided, however, that (A) each Investor Group shall only have the right to designate one (1) director if such Investor Group Beneficially Owns less than 15% of the voting power of all shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, and at such time, the applicable Investor Group shall cause one of such Investor Group’s designees to resign from the Board (unless such resignation is rejected by all of the remaining members of the Board); and (B) each Investor Group shall not have the right to designate any directors if such Investor Group Beneficially Owns less than 5% of the voting power of all shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, and at such time, the applicable Investor Group shall cause all of such Investor Group’s designees to resign from the Board (unless such resignations are rejected by all of the remaining members of the Board).

(ii) At any time during which the Designator Committee shall have the right to designate a number of directors that is greater than 10% of the Total Number of Directors but fewer than the Total Number of Directors, the Founder Group, on the one hand, and the First Reserve Group, on the other, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate a portion of the total number of directors that the Designator Committee is then entitled to designate ratably in accordance with the respective percentage ownership of the total voting power of all shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors held collectively by the Stockholders.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein, including Section 2.1(f)(i)-(ii), each of the Founder Group and the First Reserve Group shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate one director as long as such Investor Group Beneficially Owns at least 5% of the voting power of all shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

(g) Except with respect to Directors which the Founder Group or the First Reserve Group are exclusively entitled to designate pursuant to Section 2.1(f), the Designator Committee may, acting by majority vote, elect to remove a Director designated by the Designator Committee at any time with or without cause. With respect to Directors which the Founder Group or the First Reserve Group are exclusively entitled to designate pursuant to Section 2.1(f), the Investor Group that has a right to designate such Director may elect to remove such Director at any time with or without cause and the Designator Committee shall take such action as is necessary to remove such Director as a designee. In the event a removal election is made in accordance with this Section 2.1(g), the Stockholders agree to vote, in accordance with Section 2.4, to remove such Director at the next opportunity available under Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws to the extent consistent with applicable Law and the regulations of any applicable securities exchange.

(h) In addition to any vote or consent of the Board or the stockholders of the Company required by applicable Law or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as this Agreement is in effect, any action by the Board to increase the Total Number of Directors to more than seven (other than any increase in the Total Number of Directors in connection with the election of one or more directors elected exclusively by the holders of one or more classes or series of the Company’s preferred stock) or to decrease the Total Number of Directors shall require the prior written consent of each Investor Group, delivered in accordance with Section 5.16 of this Agreement.

2.2 Compensation. Except to the extent the Designator Committee, on behalf of the applicable Investor Group, may otherwise notify the Company, any Stockholder Designee that is a non-employee Director shall be entitled to compensation consistent with the compensation received by other non-employee Directors, including any fees and equity awards, provided that (x) to the extent any Director compensation is payable in the form of equity awards, at the election of a Stockholder Designee, in lieu of any equity award, such compensation shall be paid in an amount of cash equal to the value of the equity award as of the date of the award, with any such cash subject to the same vesting terms, if any, as the equity awarded to other Directors and (y) at the election of a Stockholder Designee, any Director compensation (whether cash, equity awards and/or cash in lieu of equity as may be designated by the electing Stockholder Designee) shall be paid to a Stockholder or an Affiliate thereof specified by such Stockholder Designee rather than to such Stockholder Designee. If the Company adopts a policy that Directors own a minimum amount of equity in the Company, no Stockholder Designee that is a non-employee Director shall be subject to such policy, except with the consent of the applicable Investor Group, delivered in accordance with Section 5.16 of this Agreement.

2.3 Other Rights of Stockholder Designees. Except as provided in Section 2.2, each Stockholder Designee serving on the Board shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges applicable to all other members of the Board generally or to which all such members of the Board are entitled. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify, exculpate, and reimburse fees and expenses of the Stockholder Designees (including by entering into an

indemnification agreement in a form substantially similar to the Company’s form director indemnification agreement) and provide the Stockholder Designees with director and officer insurance to the same extent it indemnifies, exculpates, reimburses and provides insurance for the other members of the Board pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, applicable law or otherwise.

2.4 Agreement to Vote. Each Stockholder agrees to vote, and to cause each of its applicable Stockholder Entities to vote, in person or by proxy, or to act by written consent (if applicable) with respect to, all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company having the right to vote for the election of Directors beneficially owned by it to cause the election of the designees of the Designator Committee and to take all other steps within such Person’s power to ensure that the composition of the Board is as set forth in Section 2.1. Upon a Stockholder’s Transfer of any Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company having the right to vote for the election of Directors to another Stockholder Entity, the Stockholder shall be required, as a condition to such Transfer, to cause the applicable Stockholder Entity to execute a joinder to this Agreement (in form reasonably acceptable to the Stockholders in the other Investor Group and the Company) to agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.4 with regards to voting of the Transferred equity securities.
