business and all subsidiary corporations and businesses owned or related to Company and such other duties as may from time to time be reasonably requested of Executive by the Board of Directors of Company (“Board”).  As used herein the term “business of Company” shall include the business of any of Company’s subsidiaries and related entities.  The duties of Executive shall include, but
not be limited to, managing the Company so that it shall be in substantial and timely compliance with the requirements of any formal or informal administrative action or notice to which the Company may be subject, whether in the form of a cease and desist order, a memorandum of understanding or other regulatory action or requirement, provided, however, that any noncompliance with any such administrative action or notice that occurred prior to this Agreement shall not be attributed to Executive for purposes of

Appointment to Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Company hereby agrees that as of the Effective Date Executive shall be appointed a member of the Board in accordance with the bylaws of the Company and shall remain a member of the Board for so long as Executive is duly elected to a position on the Board in accordance with the bylaws of the Company and applicable law
and this Agreement has not been terminated.
