If the Company has audited records of any of the foregoing, it shall provide those in lieu of the unaudited versions.
(b) Confidentiality. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Investor by reason of this Agreement shall have access to any trade secrets or confidential information of the Company. The Company shall not be required to comply with any information rights in respect of any Investor whom the Company reasonably determines to be a competitor or an officer, employee, director or holder of ten percent (10%) or more of a competitor. Each Investor agrees that such Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement other than to any of the Investor’s attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals, to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring the Investor’s investment in the Company.
(c) Inspection Rights. The Company shall permit each Major Investor to visit and inspect the Company’s properties, to examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Company’s affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by such Investor.
2. ELECTION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
2.1 Voting During the term of this Agreement, each Voting Party agrees to vote all Shares in such manner as may be necessary to maintain the number of members of the Board of Directors at no more than five (5) and to elect (and maintain in office) as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), for so long as at least 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock are held by Alta Ventures Mexico Fund I, L.P. and its affiliates (“Alta”), an individual designated by Alta, to serve as a representative of the Investors (the “Alta Designee” or “Investor Director”).

(b) notify the Company in writing of an intention to select a new Alta Designee for election to a Board seat, to replace the incumbent Alta Designee;
In the event of such an initiation of a removal or selection of the Alta Designee under this section, the Company shall take such reasonable actions as are necessary to facilitate such removal or election, including, without limitation, soliciting the votes of the appropriate stockholders, and the Voting Parties shall vote their Shares to cause: (a) the removal from the Board of the Alta Designee so designated for removal; and (b) the election to the Board of any new Alta Designee so designated.
