In the event that the taking of any one or more of the actions listed in Article Fourth, Section B.5(b)(i), (ii), and (vi) of the Restated Certificate (an “Approved Action”) would require a separate vote by the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred under Section 242(b)(ii) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, then each holder of Series C-1 Preferred hereby agrees, with respect to all shares of Series C-1 Preferred over which he, she or it exercises voting or dispositive authority, to vote (in person, by proxy or by written consent, as applicable) all of such Series C-1 Preferred shares in favor of the Approved Action if (a) the holders of at least fifty-three percent (53%) of the then outstanding Series C Preferred approve (by vote or written consent as provided by law) the taking of such Approved Action and (b) such Approved Action does not (i) alter or amend Article Fourth, Section B.3(h)(ii) of the Restated Certificate, or the rights of the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred pursuant to such Article Fourth, Section B.3(h)(ii), prior to the Series C-1 Special Antidilution Termination Time (as defined in the Restated Certificate) or (ii) alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series C-1 Preferred so as to adversely affect the Series C-1 Preferred in a manner that is disproportionately unfavorable to the Series C-1 Preferred as compared with the Series C Preferred.
