The provisions of this Section 1.3 are in addition to and shall not limit any rights which Acquisition Sub, Parent or any of their affiliates may have as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock as a matter of applicable law with respect to the election of directors or otherwise.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and until the Effective Time, the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors or if there shall only be one (1), of a Continuing Director, shall be required to authorize (and such authorization shall constitute the authorization of the Company’s board of directors and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize) any termination of this Agreement by the Company, any amendment of this Agreement requiring action by the Company’s board of directors, any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Acquisition Sub requiring the consent of the Company, any waiver of compliance by the Company of any of the agreements or conditions contained herein for the benefit of the Company or its shareholders, any required or permitted consent or action by the board of directors of the Company hereunder and any other action of the Company hereunder which adversely affects the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Parent or Acquisition Sub); provided, that, if for any reason there shall be no Continuing Directors and the Company has used commercially reasonable efforts to appoint Continuing Directors, such actions may be effected by majority vote of the entire board of directors of the Company.
