shares of the Company’s capital stock over which such Shareholder has voting
control or are owned by such Shareholder, beneficially or of record, on the
record date fixed for a determination of those shareholders entitled to vote in
any election of directors of the Company, or will cause such shares to be voted
and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions within such
Shareholder’s control (including in his or her capacity as a shareholder,
director, member of a board committee or officer of the Company or otherwise,
and including, without limitation, attendance at meetings in person or by proxy
for purposes of obtaining a quorum and execution of written consents in lieu of
meetings), and the Company shall take all necessary or desirable actions within
its control (including, without limitation, calling special board and
shareholder meetings), so that:
(i) the
authorized number of directors on the Company Board is established and remains
at five directors, except as otherwise set forth herein or, until such time as

committees of the Company Board shall be created only upon the approval of a
majority of the Company Board and the membership of each such committee (if any)
shall include the Proviant Director;
(iv) the
membership of the board of directors or other governing body of any subsidiary
of the Company shall include the Proviant Director;
(v) there
shall not be removed from the Company Board, with or without cause, any Proviant
Director without the written request of Proviant;
(vi) in
the event that Proviant requests in writing that any Proviant Director be
removed from the Company Board or any committee thereof, such director shall be
so removed;
(vii) in
the event that any Proviant Director ceases to serve as a member of the Company
Board during his or her term of office, the resulting vacancy on the Company
Board shall be filled by a representative who shall be a new Proviant Director
designated in the same manner as such former Proviant Director; and
(viii) each
member of the Company Board or any committee thereof shall be reimbursed for
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of fulfilling his or her
duties as a Director of the Company.
2. APPOINTMENT
OF ADDITIONAL PROVIANT DIRECTORS.
Upon an event of default under any of
the Notes, Proviant may appoint such additional members to the Company Board
pursuant to Section 1 as provided in any such Note and the Shareholders and the
Company shall take and vote in favor of any and all actions necessary to permit
such appointment(s), including, but not limited to, increasing the authorized
number of directors on the Company Board accordingly.
