     3  follows:
     4    (c-1) For any eligible head of household who  submits  an  application
     5  for  a  rent increase exemption order pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b)
     6  of this section, the date of such application shall be deemed to be  (i)
     7  the  date  of  the  applicant's  initial eligibility for a rent increase
     8  exemption order, if the actual date of submission of the application  is
     9  two  years  or  less after such date of initial eligibility, or (ii) the
    10  date which is two years prior to the actual date of  the  submission  of
    11  the  application,  if  such application is submitted more than two years
    12  after the applicant's  date of initial eligibility for a  rent  increase
    13  exemption  order,  and  the calculation of such rent increase exemption,
