Ownership Limitation” means the Beneficial Ownership by a Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which such Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) of an amount of Common Stock in excess of 9.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding; providedhowever, that the Ownership Limitation shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act; and provided, further, that no changes shall be made to the Ownership Limitation without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, further, any Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive the Ownership Limitation as to itself with 61 days’ (or such shorter period of time previously agreed by the Company in its sole discretion) prior written notice to the Company.
