Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, a holder of a Warrant does not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant held by such holder, and the Issuer shall not effect any exercise of any Warrant, to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Beneficial Ownership Blocker”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be changed at a holder’s election upon 61 days’ notice to the Issuer.
