The L C▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Directors shall not be a legal or financial adviser of L C▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Affiliates; provided, however, that, individuals employed by L C▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Affiliates, including those in a legal or financing role, will not be restricted from serving as L C▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Directors. The Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain the same Board of Directors structure with the same representation of the Shareholders, to the extent permitted by applicable law of the jurisdiction in which such Subsidiary is formed. 17.1.2. O▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and their Permitted Transferees, acting jointly, shall have the right to appoint three (3) directors to the Board of Directors, one of whom shall serve as the chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”).

If a quorum is not present at such reconvened meeting of the Board of Directors within thirty (30) minutes of the time set for such reconvened meeting, such reconvened meeting shall again be adjourned and postponed to the same time three (3) days thereafter. At any such second reconvened meeting (and only at such meeting), a majority of the Directors then serving shall constitute quorum, irrespective of whether an L C▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Director is represented at such second reconvened meeting. 17.8.
