“Two (2) persons shall be designated by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Company Designees”), which individuals shall initially be Mitch Lowe and Chris Kelly. The parties agree that at least one of the Company Designees shall qualify as an “Independent Director,” within the meaning of the director independence rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) or the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), as applicable, by the then current Board, acting in good faith. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Board determines that neither of the Company Designees is an Independent Director, then the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall promptly cause at least one of the Company Designees who is not an Independent Director to be removed and replaced in accordance with Subsection 1.4 to comply with this Subsection 1.2(a).”
