Financial L.P. (including the reinvestment of dividends or other
distributions); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that t</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">he TSR of the

petition in bankruptcy pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code, </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(ii) undergoes a

such company to undergo a &#147;change in control.&#148;&#160;
</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For this purpose, a &#147;change in control&#148; means </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(i) the sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the company on a consolidated basis to a person or entity
other than to a subsidiary or affiliate of the company, (ii) a merger,
reorganization or consolidation after which the holders of the company&#146;s
outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction, in the
aggregate, do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the
surviving or resulting entity immediately upon completion of such transaction,
(iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the outstanding common shares of
the company to an unrelated person or entity or (iv) any other transaction
where the owners of the company&#146;s outstanding voting power prior to such transaction,
in the aggregate, do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting
