For the avoidance of doubt, the restriction contained in the previous sentence shall not restrict, in any way, the Stockholder’s ability to exercise any options or warrants held by or granted to the Stockholder during the Stock Repurchase Period provided that the Stockholder retains beneficial ownership of the Common Stock or restricted Common Stock underlying such options or warrants during the Stock Repurchase Period.
