1. Board Nomination Rights.
(a) From the Effective Date, Vista shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate to the Board a number of designees equal to at least: (i) 100% of the Total Number of Directors (as defined below), so long as Vista Beneficially Owns shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) representing at least 40% of the Original Amount of Vista, (ii) 40% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 30% but less than 40% of the Original Amount of Vista, (iii) 30% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 20% but less than 30% of the Original Amount of Vista, (iv) 20% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 10% but less than 20% of the Original Amount of Vista and (v) one Director, in the event that Vista Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the Original Amount of Vista (such persons, the “Nominees”). For purposes of calculating the number of directors that Vista is entitled to designate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any fractional amounts shall automatically be rounded up to the nearest whole number (e.g., 11⁄4 Directors shall equate to 2 Directors) and any such calculations shall be made after taking into account any increase in the Total Number of Directors.
