...
(f) The Company shall, on the twenty-fifth (25th) day following
the First Tranche 3 Adjustment Date (the "SECOND TRANCHE 3 ADJUSTMENT DATE"),
issue to the Purchasers for no additional consideration such aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock (the "SECOND TRANCHE 3 ADJUSTMENT SHARES") as
equals the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) 50% of the
Tranche 3 Shares and (B) an amount equal to (x) the difference of
(1) 112 1/2% of the Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock on the
Tranche 3 Closing Date less (2) the average of the lowest ten (10) Per Share
Market Values during the twenty-five (25) days immediately preceding the
Second Tranche 3 Adjustment Date (the "SECOND TRANCHE 3 ADJUSTMENT PRICE")
and (ii) the Second Tranche 3 Adjustment Price.

3.16 LIMITATIONS ON SHORT SALES. Each Purchaser agrees that it will not
enter into any Short Sales (as hereinafter defined) from the period
commencing on the First Tranche 1 Closing Date and ending on the last
applicable Adjustment Date. For purposes of this Section 3.16, a "SHORT
SALE" by a Purchaser shall mean a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that
is marked as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no
equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by the Purchaser.
For purposes of determining whether there is an equivalent offsetting long
position in Common Stock held by a Purchaser, Adjustment Shares that have not
yet been issued in connection with the immediately preceding Closing Date
shall be deemed to be held long by the Purchaser, and the number of
Adjustment Shares then held by a Purchaser on any particular date of
computation shall be equal to the number of Adjustment Shares issuable
pursuant to Section 3.15 on the next Adjustment Date calculated as if such
computation date were such Adjustment Date (e.g. using the lowest ten (10)
Per Share Market Values during the twenty-five (25) days immediately
preceding such computation date).
