4
(iii) for purposes of clause (x) above, “Change of Control” shall mean the transfer to or acquisition by (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation, division or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, a Person or group of Affiliated Persons (other than the 313 Acquisition Entities or an underwriter pursuant to an offering), of the Company’s voting securities if, after such transfer or acquisition, such Person or group of Affiliated Persons would Beneficially Own more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity);
