Amount less the EMO Distributions Amount (plus any interest accrued

thereon), if any; and

date for participation in such Rights Offer occurs during the Reference

Offer multiplied by the number of LA's that the Seller would be entitled to

take up in respect of the Consideration Shares, assuming all the

Consideration Shares had been issued to the Seller on the Signature Date
