It is the intention of the Company and the Requisite Holders that the Blackstone Designator and Cannae (or, if Cannae is no longer a party to the Agreement, the Sponsor Designator), have the right to (i) designate two (2) Directors jointly, as opposed to one (1) Director, in accordance with Section 2.2(a) of the Agreement, and (ii) consult with the Board prior to the Board appointing the Board Nominated Director.
