Parties Beneficially Own on the date hereof (assuming for purposes
of this clause (i) each share of Series B Preferred Stock

then as long as the Restricted Parties shall continue to
Beneficially Own at least 10% of the Adjusted Outstanding Common

Investor is entitled to designate three persons for nomination as
directors, the then current Investor may assign pursuant to

conditions hereof one or two of such nominees to any other
Restricted Party (such that one Restricted Party will have the
right to designate two nominees and the other Restricted Party will
have the right to designate one nominee; it being understood that
in such a case for all purposes of this Agreement where rights or
obligations of the Investor or the Restricted Parties are
determined by the number of nominees the Investor is entitled to

designate three nominees).
