Company to cause the Clipper Designee to be elected to the Board.
3.3. Interim Clipper Designations. In case a vacancy shall occur on
the Board because of the death, resignation or removal of the Clipper Director,
the Clipper Representative may elect either (i) to have such vacancy filled at
the next Annual Meeting pursuant to a designation made in accordance with
Section 3.2 or (ii) to have such vacancy filled prior to such Annual Meeting by
a majority of the directors remaining in office. If the Clipper Representative

to applicable laws, the Company shall recommend that the remaining directors
elect the Clipper Designee and shall take all other actions reasonably necessary

favor of the Clipper Designee.
(b) In the event Clipper shall make an Interim Clipper Designation in
accordance with paragraph (a) above in order to fill the vacancy created by the
death, resignation or removal of the Clipper Director and in the event a
majority of the directors remaining in office shall fail or refuse to appoint
the Clipper Designee to fill such vacancy within 30 days after receipt by the
Company of such Interim Clipper Designation, then the Company agrees, if
requested by Clipper to do so, to call a special meeting of the stockholders of
the Company for the purpose of voting upon a proposal to elect the Clipper
Designee to the Board; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be
required to call a special meeting of the stockholders if the Company has given
a formal notice of the next Annual Meeting.
3.4. Failure of Clipper to Designate. If the Clipper Representative
shall fail or refuse to designate a nominee for director pursuant to Section 3.2
or 3.3, such directorship shall remain vacant unless and until such designation
shall be made as provided in this Article III; provided, however, that if such
vacancy results in less than the minimum number of directors required by law or
by the charter or bylaws of the Company as then in effect, such vacancy shall be
filled by an individual elected by a majority of the directors then serving.
3.5. Removal of Clipper Director. The Clipper Representative shall
have the exclusive right (except as otherwise provided by applicable law or the
Company's charter) to remove
-4-
or replace the Clipper Director. If the Clipper Representative desires to remove
the Clipper Director, it shall give written notice of such desire to the Company
and the other Stockholders who shall thereupon become obligated to vote all
Voting Stock owned by them in favor of the removal of the Clipper Director. No
Stockholder (other than the Clipper Investors) shall vote any of the securities
of the Company owned by it or take any other action in its capacity as a
stockholder of the Company for the removal of the Clipper Director without the
prior written approval of the Clipper Representative.
3.6. The Clipper Observer. The Clipper Representative shall have the
right, exercisable by written notice to the Company, to designate from time to
time an observer (the "Clipper Observer") who shall have the right to attend
meetings of the Board and to receive information delivered to the Board, at the
expense of the Clipper Investors. The initial Clipper Observer shall be Xxxxx

3.7. Termination/Suspension of Clipper Rights. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights of the Clipper Investors
and the Clipper Representative under this Article III and the obligations of the
other parties hereto under this Article III shall terminate immediately and
without notice upon the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement under
Section 7.3 and (ii) any event or occurrence resulting in the holding by the
Clipper Investors of less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Promptly upon the termination of its rights under this Article III, the Clipper
Investors agree to (i) cause the resignation of, or provide notice to the other
parties hereto as provided in Section 3.5 requesting the removal of, the
incumbent Clipper Director and (ii) inform the Clipper Observer that his rights
under Section 3.6 have terminated.
3.8. Irrevocable Proxy. Each of the Stockholders hereby grants to the
Clipper Representative, on behalf of the Clipper Investors, an irrevocable
proxy to vote all shares of Common Stock presently or at any future time owned
beneficially or of record by such Stockholder which the Stockholder is entitled
to vote, and to represent and otherwise act as such Stockholder could act, in
the same manner and with the same effect as if such Stockholder were personally
present, at any annual, special or other meeting of the stockholders of the
Company, and at any adjournment thereof, or pursuant to any written consent in
lieu of meeting or otherwise; provided, however, that any such vote or consent
in lieu thereof or any other action so taken shall be solely for the purposes of
electing a Clipper Designee to the Board as provided in Section 3.2 or 3.3 or
removing the Clipper Director from the Board as provided in Section 3.5.
ARTICLE IV

qualified or until his earlier death, removal or resignation.
4.2. Annual Xxxx Designations. The Company shall, no later than 45
days prior to the mailing of any proxy statement with respect to an Annual
Meeting, notify Xxxx of the date of such mailing. As soon as practicable after

mailing date specified therein, Xxxx shall provide the Company a written
statement ("Annual Xxxx Designation") designating either the incumbent Xxxx
Director or a person other than the incumbent Xxxx Director, in which event the
Annual Xxxx Designation shall include such other person's name, age, principal
occupation, business address and telephone number and residence address and
telephone number. The Annual Xxxx Designation shall also include or be
accompanied by (i) all information relating to the person designated therein
that is required to be disclosed in the proxy statement pursuant to applicable
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) such person's
consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and (iii) a statement
of such person's intention to serve as a director if elected to the Board. The
Company shall nominate for election at such Annual Meeting the person designated
in the Annual Xxxx Designation. Subject to applicable laws, the Company agrees
to take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause the Xxxx Designee to be
elected to the Board. Each Stockholder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) the
Voting Stock owned by it in favor of the Xxxx Designee and to take any other
necessary or desirable action in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company to
elect the Xxxx Designee to the Board.
4.3. Interim Xxxx Designations. (a) In case a vacancy shall occur on
the Board because of the death, resignation or removal of the Xxxx Director,
Xxxx may elect either (i) to have such vacancy filled at the next Annual Meeting
pursuant to a designation made in accordance with Section 4.2 or (ii) to have
such vacancy filled prior to such Annual Meeting by a majority of the directors
remaining in office. If Xxxx wishes to make the election provided for in clause
(ii) above, it shall designate a successor director nominee by written notice
given to the Company and each of the other Stockholders (the "Interim Xxxx
Designation"). Subject to applicable laws, the Company shall recommend that the
remaining directors elect the Xxxx Designee and shall take all other actions
reasonably necessary to cause the Xxxx Designee to be elected to the Board.
Each Stockholder agrees to vote the Voting Stock owned by it in favor of the
Xxxx Designee and to take any other necessary or desirable action in its
capacity as a stockholder of the Company to cause the Xxxx Designee to be
elected to the Board. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Clipper
Investors agrees to cause the Clipper Director to vote in favor of the Xxxx
Designee and each Stockholder who is a member of the Board agrees, subject to
his fiduciary duties, to vote in favor of the Xxxx Designee.
(b) In the event Xxxx shall make an Interim Xxxx Designation in
accordance with paragraph (a) above in order to fill the vacancy created by the
death, resignation or removal of the Xxxx Director and in the event a majority
of the directors remaining in office shall fail or refuse to appoint the Xxxx
Designee to fill such vacancy within 30 days after receipt by the Company of
such Interim Xxxx Designation, then the Company agrees, if requested by Xxxx to
do so, to call a special
