For purposes of this paragraph, “pro rata” shall mean (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by each Eligible Common Stockholder divided by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If and to the extent that the Backstop Parties determine, in their sole discretion after consultation with BFE Corp., that the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privileges would result in adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to BFE Corp. or any of the Backstop Parties, BFE Corp. may reduce or eliminate, pro rata for all holders of Rights, exercise of Over-Subscription Privileges.
