acquire, agree to acquire, become the beneficial owner
of or obtain any rights in respect of any Company
Voting Securities, by purchase or otherwise, or take

acquisition, agreement or other action) to increase the
aggregate beneficial ownership of Company Voting

solely as a result of a repurchase, redemption or other
acquisition of any Company Voting Securities by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, and (B) the
foregoing maximum percentage limitation shall not
prohibit any purchase of Company Voting Securities by
any member of the Xxxxxx Group directly from the

by the Company), provided such purchase is approved by
