(B)

The "Aggregate Consideration Received" by the Company for any issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale) of securities shall (x) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the gross amount of cash received by the Company before deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale and without deduction of any expenses payable by the Company; (y) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board; and (z) if Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

(iii)

Deemed Issuances.  For the purpose of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series C Stock required under this Section 1.5(g), if the Company issues or sells any Convertible Securities and if the Effective Price of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (computed without reference to any additional or similar protective or antidilution clauses) is less than the Original Issue Price, then the Company shall be deemed to have issued, at the time of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, that number of Additional Shares of Common Stock that is equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities upon their issuance and to have received, as the Aggregate Consideration Received for the issuance of such shares, an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such Convertible Securities plus the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion or exchange thereof; provided that:


(A)

if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, then the Company shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses;


(B)

if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities is reduced over time or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution or similar protective adjustments, then the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; and


(C)

if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, then the Effective Price shall again be recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(k)

Notices.  Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 1.5 to be given to the holders of shares of the Series C Stock shall be deemed given upon the earlier of actual receipt or deposit in the United States mail, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company.
