(b)

Adjustments to Fully-Diluted Common Stock and Conversion Percentage.




(i)

Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Corporation shall at any time, or from time to time after the date shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are first issued (the "Original Series C Issue Date") and prior to the Conversion Date, effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, then  the Fully-Diluted Common Stock in effect immediately prior thereto shall be proportionately decreased and, conversely, if the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Series C Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Fully-Diluted Common Stock then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.  However, in neither event shall any such adjustments affect the applicable Conversion Percentage.  Any adjustment under this Section 9(b)(i) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(ii)

Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Corporation at any time, or from time to time after the Original Series C Issue Date and prior to the Conversion Date, shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock then in effect shall be increased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.  Such increase in the Fully-Diluted Common Stock shall not, however, affect the applicable Conversion Percentage.

(iii)

Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Series C  Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of such Series C Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series C Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 9(b)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock.

the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and for all other purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments and such conversion shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Series C Preferred Stock to the extent of the sum or sums so paid or the conversion so made.




(c)

Register. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office a register in which the Corporation shall provide for the registration of the Series C Preferred Stock.

The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issued shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The Corporation will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the conversion rights if the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and issuable after such action upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Corporation's Certificate of incorporation, as amended.

(c)

No Reissuance of Preferred Stock.  Any shares of Series C Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares of Series C Preferred Stock that the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.

(d)

Severability.  If any right, preference or limitation of the Series C Preferred Stock set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule, law or public policy, all other rights, preferences and limitations set forth herein that can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.
