Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall become an “Acquiring Person” as the result of an acquisition of Common Shares by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionatenumber of shares Beneficially Owned by such Person to 15% (or, in the case of a Designated Holder, 17%) or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding; *provided*, *however*, that if (a) any Person other than aDesignated Holder shall become the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding solely by reason of share purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the Company, become the BeneficialOwner of one or more additional Common Shares of the Company, then such Person shall be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” unless upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional shares of Common Stock such Person does notBeneficially Own 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding; and (b) any Designated Holder shall become the Beneficial Owner of 17% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding solely by reason of sharepurchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of one or more additional Common Shares of the Company, then such Designated Holder shall be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person”unless upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional shares of Common Stock such Designated Holder does not Beneficially Own 17% or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board ofDirectors of the Company determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.1.1, has become such inadvertently (including, withoutlimitation, because (A) such Person was unaware that it Beneficially Owned a percentage of Common Stock that would otherwise cause such Person to be an “Acquiring Person” or (B) such Person was aware of the extent of itsBeneficial Ownership of Common Stock but had no actual knowledge of the consequences of such Beneficial Ownership under this Agreement), and without any intention of changing or influencing control of the Company, and such Person divests as promptlyas practicable a sufficient number of Common Shares so that such Person would no longer be an Acquiring Person, as defined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.1.1, then such Person shall not be deemed to be or have become an“Acquiring Person” at any time for any purposes of this Agreement. For all purposes of this Agreement, any calculation of the number of Common Shares outstanding at any particular time (from the adoption of this Agreement and thereafter),including for purposes of determining the particular percentage of such outstanding Common Shares of which any Person is the Beneficial Owner, shall be made in accordance with the last sentence of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the General Rules andRegulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as in effect on the date of this Agreement, without regard to the 60-day limitation in Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i).”
