(v) If, at any time after the Governance Sunset Date and prior to the end of the Initial Term, the Board of Directors shall consist of more than seven (7) directors (such additional directors, the “Additional Directors”), a number of individuals equal to the number of Additional Directors, who must be nominated by the Nominating Committee in order to qualify as a director. Each Additional Director shall serve for a term expiring upon the earlier of (1) the next annual meeting of stockholders following his or her election, with such individual to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or (2) his or her earlier death, incapacitation, resignation or removal. For the avoidance of doubt, if pursuant to Section 5.2(b), one or more Designated Directors are considered Additional Directors, then there may be Additional Directors notwithstanding that the Board of Directors does not consist of more than seven (7) directors.
(b) Changes to Composition. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) Upon the time that GoldenTree no longer owns the Larger Minimum Amount:
(A) if the Designated Selected Director is the First Designated Director, then, except for purposes of Section 5.2(a)(ii)(3), (x) Section 5.2(a)(ii) shall cease to be applicable, (y) the number of Additional Directors shall increase by one and (z) the Designated Selected Director shall be considered an Additional Director; provided, however, that, in such case, Section 5.2(a)(ii)(3) shall be inapplicable as of the end of the Initial Term.
(B) if the Designated Selected Director is the Second Designated Director, then, except for purposes of Section 5.2(a)(iii)(3), (x) Section 5.2(a)(iii) shall cease to be applicable, (y) the number of Additional Directors shall increase by one and (z) the Designated Selected Director shall be considered an Additional Director; provided, however, that, in such case, Section 5.2(a)(iii)(3) shall be inapplicable as of the end of the Initial Term.
(ii) Upon the time that GoldenTree no longer owns the Smaller Minimum Amount, then, except for purposes of Section 5.2(a)(ii)(4) and Section 5.2(a)(iii)(4) (to the extent they are then still applicable), (x) Section 5.2(a)(ii) and Section 5.2(a)(iii) shall cease to be applicable (to the extent they are then still applicable), (y) the number of Additional Directors shall increase by one (if GoldenTree no longer owned the Larger Minimum Amount before it no longer owned the Smaller Minimum Amount) or two (if GoldenTree no longer owned the Larger Minimum Amount at the same time as it no longer owned the Smaller Minimum Amount), and (z) the Designated Directors shall be considered Additional Directors; provided, however, that, in such case, Section 5.2(a)(ii)(4) and Section 5.2(a)(iii)(4) shall be inapplicable as of the end of the Initial Term.
(c) Removal. Unless otherwise required by law, any director may be removed from office, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, that whenever the holders of any class or series are entitled to elect one or more directors by this Certificate of Incorporation, with respect to the removal without cause of a director or directors so elected, the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class or series and not the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole shall apply; provided, further, that, except with respect to the delivery of a Disqualification Notice as contemplated by Section 5.2(a)(ii) or Section 5.2(a)(iii) at any time prior to the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the time such Disqualification Notice could be delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(ii) or Section 5.2(a)(iii), the Board of Directors shall not take any action to remove or disqualify any Designated Directors.
