On the expiration of any subsequent offering period (as provided by Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act), Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors of the Company as is equal to the product obtained by multiplying the total number of directors on such Board (giving effect to the directors designated by Parent pursuant to this and the immediately preceding sentence) by the percentage that the number of shares of Company Common Stock purchased and paid for by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer (including, but not limited to, the number of shares purchased in any subsequent offering period), plus any shares beneficially owned by Parent or its Affiliates on the date of such purchase and payment in the subsequent offering period, bears to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding. In furtherance of the rights and obligations set forth in the immediately foregoing two sentences, the Company shall, upon request of Parent, promptly increase the size of its Board of Directors, or it shall secure the resignations of such number of directors, or both, as is necessary to enable Parent's designees to be so elected to the Company's Board and, subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, shall cause Parent's designees to be so elected. At such time, the Company shall, if requested by Parent, also cause directors designated by Parent to constitute at least the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company's Board of Directors of each committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Company Common Stock are purchased pursuant to the Offer, there shall be until the Effective Time at least two members of the Company's Board of Directors who are directors on the date hereof and are not employees of the Company.
