Common use of No Acquisition Clause in Contracts

No Acquisition. Prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, each of the Investors shall not, and shall cause each of their respective controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, acquire, or agree to acquire, by purchase or otherwise, beneficial ownership of any Capital Stock of the Company (except pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of Article V of this Agreement, the exchange of rights issued pursuant to the 382 Rights Agreement, the exercise of the Warrants, or the conversion of any convertible indebtedness acquired in connection with the Company Refinancing or by way of any stock split, dividend, spin-off, combination, reclassification or recapitalization of the Company and its Common Stock) to the extent such acquisition would result in such Investor and its controlled Affiliates beneficially owning in excess of 19.9% of the Voting Securities of the Company; provided that, for purposes of this Section 6.1, “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act without regard to the proviso included in the definition of “beneficial ownership” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this prohibition shall not apply to acquisitions of (i) the Company’s convertible Indebtedness (or the conversion of such convertible Indebtedness into Capital Stock of the Company) issued in connection with the Company Refinancing, (ii) the Warrants (or the receipt of the Common Stock of the Company upon exercise of the Warrants), (iii) in connection with any exchange of rights under the 382 Rights Agreement; (iv) purchases of Covered Securities in a Qualified Offering pursuant to and subject to the limitations set forth in Article V hereof and (v) purchases of Common Stock on the market if, and to the extent, required to maintain such Investor’s Ownership Percentage after giving effect to any preemptive rights available to such Investor pursuant to Article V. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an exemption of any Investor from the provisions of the 382 Rights Agreement, or a waiver of the applicability thereof, absent (and solely to the extent of) an express determination of exemption or inapplicability by the Company Board in accordance with the terms of the 382 Rights Agreement.
