The Waiver, among other things, (i) waives the requirement pursuant to the Certificate of Designations that the Company file a preliminary proxy statement within ten (10) calendar days after the Initial Issue Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designations, the Regular Dividend Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) shall be increased by one percent (1%) per annum, if, and only if, the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Certificate of Designations ) is not obtained on or prior to the date of the Company's first annual meeting of stockholders following the Initial Issue Date and waives the right to any accumulation of such additional one percent (1%) dividend per annum pursuant to the Certificate of Designations that would have occurred but for the Waiver.
