The initial Board shall consist of the persons listed on Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 2, the members of the Quintana Group shall be treated as a single “Stockholder” and their Stockholder Percentage shall be aggregated for purposes of Section 2(a)(i) below.

(i) For so long as each of the Stockholders holds the corresponding Stockholder Percentage set forth in the table below, the Company shall, and the Stockholders shall take all Necessary Action to, include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected that aggregate number of Directors set forth opposite the range of its Stockholder Percentage:

5

(ii) The nomination of Independent Directors to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected will be the responsibility of the full Board.

(b) Decrease in Directors. Upon any decrease in the number of directors that a Stockholder is entitled to designate for nomination to the Board, such Stockholder shall take all Necessary Action to cause the appropriate number of Directors designated by such Stockholder to offer to tender their resignation, effective as of the Company’s next annual meeting. If such resignation is accepted by the Board, the Company and the Stockholders shall take all Necessary Action to cause the authorized size of the Board to be reduced accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, any Director resigning pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be permitted to continue serving as a Director until the Company’s next annual meeting.

(c) Removal; Vacancies. Except as provided in Section 2(b), and subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, (i) each Stockholder shall have the exclusive right to remove its designees from the Board, and the Company and the Stockholders shall take all Necessary Action to cause the removal of any such designee at the request of the designating Stockholder and (ii) each Stockholder shall have the exclusive right to designate directors for election to the Board to fill vacancies created by reason of death, removal or resignation of its designees to the Board, and the Company and the Stockholders shall take all Necessary Action to cause any such vacancies to be filled by replacement directors designated by such designating Stockholder as promptly as reasonably practicable. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, no Stockholder shall have the right to designate a replacement director, and the Company and the Stockholders shall not be required to take any action to cause any vacancy to be filled by any such designee, to the extent that election or appointment of such designee to the Board would result in a number of directors designated by such Stockholder in excess of the number of directors that such Stockholder is then entitled to designate for membership on the Board pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Additional Directors. For so long as any Stockholder has the right to designate at least one director for nomination under this Agreement, the Company will take all Necessary Action to ensure that the number of directors serving on the Board shall not exceed seven; provided, that the number of directors may be increased if necessary to satisfy the minimum requirements of applicable laws and the listing requirements of the NYSE, as applicable, reasonably accounting for Independent Directors and required committee positions.

(e) Voting Agreement. Each of the Company and the Stockholders agrees not to take any actions that would affect the provisions of this Agreement and the intention of the Parties with respect to the composition of the Board as herein stated. Each Stockholder agrees to cast all votes to which such Stockholder is entitled in respect of its Company Shares, whether at

6

any annual or special meeting, by written consent or otherwise, so as to cause to be elected to the Board those individuals designated in accordance with this Section 2 and to otherwise effect the intent of this Section 2. Each Stockholder agrees not to take action to remove each other’s director nominees from office pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Certificate of Incorporation unless such removal is for cause.

(f) This Section 2 shall terminate automatically (without any action by any Party hereto) as to each Stockholder upon the later of (i) the time at which such Stockholder no longer has the right to designate an individual for nomination to the Board under this Agreement and (ii) the time at which the Stockholders collectively cease to hold in aggregate at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

3. Covenants.

(a) For so long as any Stockholder is entitled to designate a Director pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall:

(i) reimburse the members of the Board for reasonable and documented expenses that are incurred as a result of serving as a Director, including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board and any committees thereof, including without limitation, travel, lodging and meal expenses.

(iii) obtain and maintain customary director and officer indemnity insurance on commercially reasonable terms.

4. Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination.

(b) Indemnification Priority.

7

Transactions and thereafter from time to time (collectively, the “Indemnification Agreements”), the Indemnitees may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by one of the Stockholders, as the case may be, or one or more of its respective Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) now or hereafter (with respect to the Quintana Group or the Archer Group, as applicable, the “Partner Indemnitors”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Indemnification Agreements or this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, with respect to its indemnification and advancement obligations to the Indemnitees under the Indemnification Agreements, this Agreement or otherwise, the Company (i) is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its and its insurers’ obligations to advance expenses and to indemnify the Indemnitees are primary and any obligation of the Partner Indemnitors or their insurers to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any of the Indemnitees is secondary and excess), (ii) shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by each Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, fines and assessments, claims, judgments, awards, settlements, demands, offsets, costs or expenses (including without limitation, interest, penalties, court costs, arbitration costs and fees, costs of investigation, witness fees, fees and expenses of outside attorneys, investigators, expert witnesses, accountants and other professionals, and any federal, state, local or foreign tax imposed as a result of actual or deemed receipt of any payments by the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement) of each Indemnitee or on his, her or its behalf to the extent legally permitted and as required by this Agreement and the Indemnification Agreements, without regard to any rights such Indemnitees may have against the Partner Indemnitors or their insurers, and (iii) irrevocably waives and relinquishes, and releases the Partner Indemnitors and such insurers from, any and all claims against the Partner Indemnitors or such insurers for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company agrees that in the event that any Partner Indemnitor or its insurer should advance any expenses or make any payment to any Indemnitee for matters subject to advancement or indemnification by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, the Company shall promptly reimburse such Partner Indemnitor or insurer and that such Partner Indemnitor or insurer shall be subrogated to all of the claims or rights of such Indemnitee under the Indemnification Agreements, this Agreement or otherwise, including to the payment of expenses in an action to collect. The Company agrees that any Partner Indemnitor or insurer thereof not a party hereto shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Section 4(b), and as such, will be able to enforce such clause according to its terms as if it were a party hereto. Nothing contained in the Indemnification Agreements is intended to limit the scope of this Section 4(b), the other terms set forth in this Agreement or the rights of the Partner Indemnitors or their insurers hereunder.

(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any Indemnification Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreement or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.

(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each of the Stockholders, which consents shall be sufficient for assignment. Any purported assignment of this Agreement in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio.

(g) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the Delaware Chancery Courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court of the United States of America or other Delaware state court located in Wilmington, Delaware, and appropriate appellate courts therefrom, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

(j) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification provisions, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(k) Specific Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the Parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such party shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the Parties shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

(l) Subsequent Acquisition of Shares. Any equity securities of the Company acquired subsequent to the date hereof by a Stockholder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such shares shall be considered to be “Company Shares” as such term is used herein for purposes of this Agreement.

(m) Sharing of Information. To the extent permitted by antitrust, competition or any other applicable law, each Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that the directors designated by each Stockholder may share confidential, non-public information (the “Confidential Information”) about the Company and its subsidiaries with the Quintana Group, the Archer Group, and Geveran, respectively. Each Stockholder recognizes that it, or its Affiliates, has acquired or will acquire Confidential Information the use or disclosure of which could cause the Company substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, each Stockholder covenants and agrees with the Company that it will not (and will cause its respective Affiliates not to) at any time, except with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information known to it, unless (i) such information becomes known to the public through no fault of such Stockholder, (ii) disclosure is required by applicable law or court of competent jurisdiction or requested by a governmental agency, provided, that such Stockholder promptly notifies the Company of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure, (iii) such information was available or becomes available to such Stockholder before, on or after the date hereof, without restriction, from a source (other than the Company) without any breach of duty to the Company or (iv) such information was independently developed by the Stockholder or its representatives without the use of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit a Stockholder from disclosing Confidential Information to any Affiliate, representative, limited partner, member or shareholder of such Stockholder; provided, that such Shareholder shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 4(m) by any such person.

11

(n) Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.
