The Company further covenants and agrees that within five (5) days of the earlier to occur of (x) the receipt of the Request, if the approval or non-objection of the Federal Reserve is not required, and (y) the receipt of the non-objection or approval of the Federal Reserve, the Board of Directors shall cause one (1) person nominated by the Purchaser to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors as well as to the board of directors of the Bank (the “Bank Board”), subject to satisfaction of the legal, bank regulatory and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (“Governance Committee”) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

The Purchaser shall promptly inform the Company if and when it ceases to hold a Qualifying Ownership Interest in the Company and the Company shall provide, at its own expense, the Purchaser with all such information as the Purchaser may reasonably request for the calculation of Purchaser’s Qualifying Ownership Interest.
