(b)    The usage of the term Floor Price in the Side Letters is hereby deemed to carry the same definition of Floor Price as set forth in Section 1.1 of the Original Agreement, regardless of how such term was originally defined in the Side Letters.

(i)Frequency.

the aggregate, in respect of (x) amounts subject to outstanding Purchase Notices for which the Regular Purchase Measurement Period has not concluded and for which the related Settlement Purchase Shares have not been delivered in accordance with the Agreement; and (y) outstanding principal under the Debenture that cannot be converted into shares of Common Stock because the Variable Measurement Period has yet to conclude..
