(b)   Two (2) persons all of whom shall be designees of the Founders Group to stand for election in 2011 (“Class C Directors”), which shall initially be Eric S. Rosenfeld and David S. Sgro, (the “Founders Directors,” and together with the Target Directors, the “Director Designees”); and

At the election of the Founders Group, the person then acting as Observer shall be designated to serve all or a part of any unexpired term of the person designated by the Founders Group to serve as a Class C Director, in which event the person designated by the Founders Group to serve as a Class C Director shall serve as the Observer.
