Section 15. Change of Control

(a)
A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(1)
any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding any benefit plan for employees or any trustee, agent or other fiduciary for any such plan acting in such person's capacity as such fiduciary), directly or indirectly, becomes the beneficial owner of securities of the Company representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities;

(2)
during any two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such a period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company, of each new Director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then still in office who were Directors at the beginning of the period; or

(3)
the Company has executed and delivered a definitive agreement which would require the consummation of (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of common stock are converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the common stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, (ii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

(4)
the shareholders of the Company shall have approved (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of common stock are converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the common stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, (ii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the phrase "Change of Control" shall not apply to any reorganization or merger initiated voluntarily by the Company in which the Company is the continuing surviving entity.

        For purposes of this Section 15(a), the Board of Directors of the Company, by a majority vote, shall have the power to determine on the basis of information known to them (a) the number of shares beneficially owned by any person, entity or group; (b) whether there exists an agreement, arrangement or understanding with another as to matters referred to in this Section 15(a); and (c) such other matters with respect to which a determination is necessary under this Section 15(a).

(b)
The General Counsel of the Company shall have the specific authority to determine whether a Change of Control has transpired under the guidance of this Section 15(a) and shall be required to give the Trustee notice of a Change of Control. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such notice, but if the Trustee receives notice of a Change of Control from another source, the Trustee shall make its own independent determination.
