? Within 180 days after closing, the Company is required to reconstitute the Board so that as so reconstituted, the Board shall consist of not less than five members, a majority of whom are required to qualify as an "independent director" as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) and the related NASDAQ interpretative guidance;
