Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a quorum is not present (in person or by proxy) within fifteen (15) minutes of the scheduled start of a meeting of the Board, such meeting shall adjourn and reconvene fifteen (15) days later at the same place. If a quorum is not present (in person or by proxy) within fifteen (15) minutes of the scheduled start of the reconvened meeting, any two-thirds (2/3) of all Directors shall constitute a quorum for such Board meeting, but the Director who is absent from the meeting shall not be deemed to have voted in favor of any matter discussed by the Board meeting for the purpose of Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 below.”
