Composition of the Board of Directors Promptly upon the Share Purchase, Sub shall be entitled to designate such number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Corporation, rounded up to the next whole number, as will give Sub, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act, representation on such Board of Directors equal to at least that number of directors which equals the product of the total number of directors on the Board of Directors (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so accepted for payment and paid for or otherwise acquired or owned by Sub or Parent and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, and the Corporation and its Board of Directors shall, at such time, take any and all such action needed to cause Sub's designees to be appointed to the Corporation's Board of Directors (including to cause directors to resign).

In the event the Sponsoring Party requires the attendance of such Third Party at subsequent JSC meetings, approval shall not be required for any Third Party who was previously approved by the other Parties and remains bound by an appropriate written confidentiality and non-use agreement at the time of the Project Team meeting, provided that the Sponsoring Party gives the other Parties prior notice of such attendance and the other Parties do not revoke their consent.
