The original expression

(!a and b) or (!a and !c) or (a and b and c)

is equivalent to 

(b and c) or (!a and !c)

             ab
       00  01  11  10
      +---+---+---+---+
   0  | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
c     +---+---+---+---+
   1  | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
      +---+---+---+---+

Written as product of disjunctions

(!a or c) and (b or !c)
