To the extent that any of clauses (a)-(d) above shall not be applicable, any member of the Board who would otherwise have been designated in accordance with the terms thereof shall instead be voted upon by all the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws then in effect.

1.3            Failure to Designate a Board Member. In the absence of any designation from the Persons or groups with the right to designate a director as specified above, the director previously designated by them and then serving shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as provided herein.

1.4            Removal of Board Members. Each Stockholder also agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Voting Shares owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that:

(a)             no director elected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 hereof may be removed from office other than for cause unless (i) such removal is directed or approved by the affirmative vote of the Person, or of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of stock, entitled under Section 1.2 hereof to designate that director or (ii) the Person(s) originally entitled to designate or approve such director or occupy such Board seat pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof is no longer so entitled to designate or approve such director or occupy such Board seat;

1.5            No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors. No Stockholder, nor any affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any Stockholder have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

1.6            Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney. Each Stockholder hereby appoints the then current Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as such Stockholder’s true and lawful proxy and attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, to vote all of such Stockholder’s Voting Shares as set forth in this Agreement and to execute all appropriate instruments consistent with this Agreement on behalf of such Stockholder if, and only if, such Stockholder (a) fails to vote or (b) attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written consent), in a manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, all of such Stockholder’s Voting Shares or execute such other instruments in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement within five (5) days of the Company’s or any other party’s written request for such Stockholder’s written consent or signature. The proxy and power granted by each Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.6 are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of such Stockholder’s duties under this Agreement. Each such proxy and power will be irrevocable for the term hereof. The proxy and power, so long as any party hereto is an individual, will survive the death, incompetency and disability of such party or any other individual Stockholder holding Voting Shares and, so long as any party hereto is an entity, will survive the merger or reorganization of such party or any other entity holding Voting Shares.
