III. BOARD REPRESENTATION; CONSULTATION
3.1 Nomination and Voting for TWC Designees. (a) From and
after the date of the Release, at each election of members of the Board, the
Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the Board nominates for
election (or reelection) and solicits votes of stockholders of the Company for
the election of (i) for so long as TWC and its Affiliates beneficially own at
least 20% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time, at least two
persons designated by TWC for election to the Board (each, a "TWC Designee");
and (ii) for so long as TWC and its Affiliates beneficially own at least 10% of
the Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time, at least one TWC Designee.
Each TWC Designee will, at all times during his or her service on the Board, be
qualified to serve as a director of the Company under any applicable law, rule
or regulation imposing or creating standards or eligibility criteria for
individuals serving as directors of organizations such as the Company. If at any
time, an individual TWC Designee is not so qualified, TWC will have the
opportunity to replace such individual with a qualified TWC Designee.
(b) Each TWC Designee will serve until his successor is
elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation, retirement,
disqualification, removal from office, or death.
(c) If any TWC Designee ceases to be a director of the Company
for any reason, the Company will promptly upon the request of TWC use its best
efforts to cause a person designated by TWC to replace such director if TWC is
so entitled.
(d) TWC agrees to cause the applicable number of TWC Designees
to promptly resign in the event TWC's beneficial ownership of Common Stock
declines such that TWC and its Affiliates would no longer have the right to
designate such person.
(e) The Company will use its best efforts to cause at least
one (1) TWC Designee designated by TWC to be included on each committee of the
Board, unless no TWC Designee satisfies any applicable law, rule or regulation
imposing or creating standards or eligibility criteria for individuals serving
as members of committees of such type. The Company will use its best efforts to
(i) cause the nominating committee of the Board (the "Nominating Committee") to
consist of two (2) members and (ii) cause one (1) of the members of the
Nominating Committee to be a TWC Designee designated by TWC to serve on that
committee and the other member of the Nominating Committee to be an Independent
Company Director. TWC and the Company agree that to the extent the members of
the Nominating Committee are unable to agree on the identity of any of the
individuals to be nominated for election to the Board on or before the latest
time at which the Company can reasonably meet its obligations with respect to
printing and mailing a proxy statement for an annual meeting of Company
stockholders, the Board (by majority vote of all current members) shall select
Persons to be
nominated for those remaining Board seats as to which the Nominating Committee
has not agreed on the individual to be nominated.
3.2 Access. The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries
and each of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' officers, directors, employees,
agents, representatives, accountants and counsel to: (a) afford the officers,
employees and authorized agents, accountants, counsel, financing sources and
representatives of TWC reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the
offices, properties, other facilities, books and records of the Company and each
Subsidiary and to those officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants and
counsel of the Company and of each Subsidiary who have any knowledge relating to
the Company or any Subsidiary and (b) furnish to the officers, employees and
authorized agents, accountants, counsel, financing sources and representatives
of TWC, such additional financial and operating data and other information
regarding the assets, properties and goodwill of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (or legible copies thereof) as TWC may from time to time reasonably
request (other than information and material from the Company's counsel which is
subject to the attorney/client privilege, which information and material will be
made available to the TWC Designees in their capacity as members of the Board).
3.3 Independent Board. Each Investor will use its best efforts
to cause the Board at all times during the Initial Period to be comprised of no
more or less than seven (7) directors, four (4) of whom shall be Independent
Company Directors, one (1) of whom shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company (or such other executive officer of the Company as is designated by a
majority of the Board) and two (2) of whom shall be TWC Designees; provided,
however, that in the event of a New Investment, each Investor will use its best
efforts to cause the Board to be comprised of no less than seven (7) and no more
than nine (9) directors, four (4) of whom shall be Independent Company
Directors, one (1) of whom shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
(or such other executive officer of the Company as is designated by a majority
of the Board), two (2) of whom shall be TWC Designees and up to two (2) of whom
shall be designated by the New Investor for election to the Board.
3.4 Replacement Committee Independent Company Directors.
(a) During the Initial Period, the Company and TWC will use
their best efforts to ensure that there shall be a nominating committee
consisting of all of the then existing Committee Independent Company Directors
(the "Independent Nominating Committee"). The Independent Nominating Committee
shall not be deemed to be a committee of the Board and shall be constituted
solely for the purposes of Section 3.4(b) below.
(b) If, during the Initial Period, any Committee Independent
Company Director resigns, is disqualified, is removed, or dies, then a majority
of the Independent Nominating Committee shall select two (2) nominees to replace
such Committee Independent Company Director (a "Replacement Committee
Independent Company Director Nominee"), and shall promptly notify TWC of those
nominees in writing. TWC will then have 14 days from the receipt of such notice
to reject one (1) of those nominees by giving the Independent Nominating
Committee written notice of such rejection; provided, however, that this time
shall be extended if TWC requests to meet the nominees; provided, further, that
TWC shall give written notice of such rejection no later than three (3) days
after the later of such meetings with each nominee.
TWC will use its reasonable best efforts to meet the nominees, if so requested,
as soon as practicable. If TWC gives timely notice of such a rejection, then the
other nominee will automatically become a Replacement Committee Independent
Company Director Nominee. If TWC does not timely reject a nominee, then a
majority of the Independent Nominating Committee will select which of the two
(2) nominees shall become a Replacement Committee Independent Company Director
Nominee. Upon completion of this selection process, the Company and TWC will use
their best efforts to cause the Replacement Committee Independent Company
Director Nominee to be appointed to the Board.
(c) If there are no remaining Committee Independent Company
Directors (because each has resigned, been disqualified, been removed or died or
intends to resign, or will be disqualified or be removed), a majority of the
departing Committee Independent Company Directors shall select Replacement
Committee Independent Company Director Nominees pursuant to (b) above.
3.5 Voting for Company Nominees. During the Initial Period,
each Investor will vote all Voting Securities that it beneficially owns at any
meeting of stockholders at which there is an election of directors, or will
execute written consents for such purpose at the request of the Company, for (i)
the election of any of the Committee Independent Company Directors upon
expiration of any Committee Independent Company Director's term, and (ii) the
election of any Replacement Committee Independent Company Director Nominee who
has been selected pursuant to the procedures detailed in Section 3.4 above.
3.6 Confidentiality. (a) Each Investor agrees to maintain, and
to cause each of its directors, officers, employees and other representatives
(including any TWC Designee) to maintain, the confidentiality of all information
obtained by the Investor pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, and not to use such
information for any purpose other than the evaluation of such Investor's
investment in the Company and the exercise by TWC Designees of their fiduciary
duties as directors of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the confidentiality
obligations of Section 3.6(a) will not apply to information obtained other than
in violation of this Agreement: (i) which any Investor or any of its officers,
employees, representatives, consultants or advisors is required to disclose by
judicial or administrative process, or by other requirements of applicable law
or any governmental authority, provided that where and to the extent practicable
the disclosing party gives the other party reasonable notice of any such
requirement and the opportunity to seek appropriate protective measures and
cooperates with such party in attempting to obtain such protective measures;
(ii) which becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of
Section 3.6(a); (iii) which has been provided to any Investor or any of its
officers, employees, representatives, consultants or advisors by a third party
who obtained such information other than from any such Person or other than as a
result of a breach of Section 3.6(a); or (iv) which is required to enable such
Investor to enforce its rights hereunder.
(c) The restrictions contained in this Section 3.6 will
continue to apply to each Investor for a period of two years following the
termination of this Article III pursuant to Section 4.2(a).
IV. EFFECTIVENESS AND TERMINATION
4.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement will become effective with
no other action by the parties immediately upon the occurrence of the Release,
and until that time this Agreement shall have no force or effect.
4.2 Termination The provisions of this Agreement will
terminate, and be of no further force or effect (other than with respect to
prior breaches), as follows:

(b) Any portion or all of this Agreement will terminate and be
of no further force and effect upon a written agreement of the parties to that

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 4.2 (a) and (b) above, this

the Company under this Article V shall only be at the direction of a majority of
the Independent Company Directors.
5.2 Specific Performance. The parties agree that any breach by
any of them of any provision of this Agreement would irreparably injure the
Company or any Investor, as the case may be, and that money damages would be an
inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, the parties agree that the other
parties will be entitled to one or more injunctions enjoining any such breach
and requiring specific performance of this Agreement and consent to the entry
thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which such other parties are
entitled at law or in equity.
