Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, each Sponsor is entitled to nominate (a) five directors for election to the Board for so long as it holds 40% or more of the Issuers outstanding Common Stock, (b) three directors for election to the Board for so long as it holds 30% or more of the Issuers outstanding Common Stock, (c) two directors for election to the Board for so long as it holds 15% or more of the Issuers outstanding Common Stock and (d) one director for election to the Board for so long as it holds 5% or more of the Issuers outstanding Common Stock. ACOF has nominated Norman H. Axelrod, David B. Kaplan, Rachel H. Lee, Peter M. Starrett, and Felicia D. Thornton to the Board, and FS has nominated Brad J. Brutocao and John M. Roth for election to the Board. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, each Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the other Sponsors nominees and for the election of the Issuers then-current chief executive officer to the Board, and subject to any applicable securities exchange or equivalent listing requirements, the Issuer will agree to take all necessary and desirable actions to support the election of such director nominees, including soliciting proxies in favor of such nominees, at each annual or special meeting of the Issuers stockholders called for the election of directors. The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that the size of the Issuers board of directors may not exceed 12 members unless otherwise agreed by the Sponsors. In addition, subject to certain conditions, the Investor Rights Agreement provides each Sponsor with certain rights with respect to Board committee membership, except to the extent that such membership would violate applicable securities laws or stock exchange or stock market rules. Directors nominated by the Sponsors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the Sponsor entitled to nominate such director. In all other cases and at any other time, directors may only be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of our common stock. The Issuer is required to bear the expenses associated with any transactions contemplated under the Investor Rights Agreement.
