(b)

	
Issue of Equity Securities: If the Company issues any Equity Securities (other than Ordinary Shares), and the Effective Consideration per Share receivable for such Equity Securities is less than the Conversion Price in force, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to equal that lower Effective Consideration per Share.
