The amount of New Securities that the Focus Investor shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (x) the total number or principal amount of such offered New Securities by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Purchased Shares held by the Focus Investor, and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such New Securities.
