The Warrant Redemption right will not apply to those holders prohibited from exercising such warrant due to the Ownership Blocker.

Waiver of Series B Redemption:
|
Platinum and the Company agree that the proceeds of the Financing shall not be used to redeem outstanding shares of Series B Perpetual Preferred Stock. Platinum shall cause Platinum Long Term Growth VII to waive any and all redemptions of Series B Stock triggered by the Financing.
