(C) the Board shall (i) promptly appoint Mr. Peter Levy as Lead Independent Director of the Board for no less than a three-year term; and (ii) take all steps necessary and within its power to encourage stockholders to vote for, and will solicit proxies in favor of, Mr. Peter Levy’s re-election to the Board at any Stockholder Meeting at which he stands for election in 2018, 2019 and 2020;

(D) the Insiders shall appear in person or by proxy and be present for quorum purposes and vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and over which they have voting power for Mr. Peter Levy’s re-election to the Board at any Stockholder Meeting at which he stands for election in 2018, 2019 and 2020;
