to designate, and the individuals nominated for election as Directors by or at the direction of the Board or a duly-authorized committee thereof shall include, a number of individuals such that, upon the election of each such individual, and each other individual nominated by or at the direction of the Board or a duly-authorized committee of the Board as a Director, and taking into account any Director continuing to serve as such without the need for re-election, the number of Blackstone Designees and Navigation Designees serving as Directors of the Company will be equal to the number of Blackstone Designees and Navigation Designees required by the preceding sentence, determined based on the total Outstanding Exeter Interests that are Beneficially Owned by each of the Blackstone Entities collectively and the Navigation Entities collectively as of the record date for such vote or consent. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing Directors, the persons designated pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) and use its best efforts to cause the election of each such designee to the Board, including nominating each such individual to be elected as a Director as provided herein, recommending such individual’s election and soliciting proxies or consents in favor thereof. In the event that any Blackstone Designee or Navigation Designee shall fail to be elected to the Board at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors (or consent in lieu of meeting), the Company shall use is best efforts to cause the Blackstone Designee or Navigation Designee, as the case may be (or a new designee), to be elected to the Board, as soon as possible, and the Company shall take or cause to be taken, to the fullest extent permitted by law, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same, including, without limitation, actions to effect an increase in the Total Number of Directors.

(d) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, removal (with or without cause), disqualification, resignation or removal of any Blackstone Designee or Navigation Designee or by an increase in the size of the Board, any individual nominated by or at the direction of the Board or any duly-authorized committee thereof to fill such vacancy shall be, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such vacancy to be filled, as soon as possible, by, a new designee of the Blackstone Designator, if such Director was designated by the Blackstone Designator, or Navigation, if such Director was designated by Navigation, and the Company shall take, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same.

Except to the extent any Stockholder Designator may otherwise notify the Company, the Stockholder Designees shall be entitled to compensation consistent with the compensation received by other non-employee Directors, including any fees and equity awards, provided, that (x) to the extent any Director compensation is payable in the form of equity awards, at the election of a Stockholder Designee, in lieu of any equity award, such compensation shall be paid in an amount of cash equal to the value of the equity award as of the date of the award, with any such cash subject to the same vesting terms, if any, as the equity awarded to other Directors and (y) at the election of a Stockholder Designee, any Director compensation (whether cash, equity awards and/or cash in lieu of equity as may be designated by the electing Stockholder Designee) shall be paid to a Stockholder or an Affiliate thereof specified by such Stockholder Designee rather than to such Stockholder Designee. If the Company adopts a policy that Directors own a minimum amount of equity in the Company, Stockholder Designees shall not be subject to such policy.

2.3 Other Rights of Stockholder Designees. Except as provided in Section 2.2, each Stockholder Designee serving on the Board shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges applicable to all other members of the Board generally or to which all such members of the Board are entitled. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify, exculpate, and reimburse fees and expenses of the Stockholder Designees (including by entering into an indemnification agreement in a form substantially similar to the Company’s form director indemnification agreement) and provide the Stockholder Designees with director and officer insurance to the same extent it indemnifies, exculpates, reimburses and provides insurance for the other members of the Board pursuant to the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, applicable law or otherwise.
