that if a Person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Companys then outstanding securities by reason of share purchases by the Company or any Subsidiary and shall, after such share purchases by the

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Change in Control of the Company be deemed to occur under clause (i) with respect to any Trust or Benefit Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, by resolution adopted by at least two-thirds of the directors who were in office at
the date a Change in Control occurred, declare that a Change in Control either under Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A or in clause (i) or (ii) has become ineffective for purposes of this Plan if the following conditions then exist:
(x) the declaration is made within 120 days of the Change in Control; and (y) no person, except for (A) the Trusts, and (B) the Benefit Plans, either is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 10% or more of the combined voting power of the Companys outstanding securities or has the ability or power to vote securities representing 10% or more of the combined voting power of the Companys then outstanding
securities. If such a declaration shall be properly made, the Change in Control shall be ineffective ab initio.
