2. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized, undefined terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Rights Agreement.
3. Amendments to Section 1.
(a) The definition of Acquiring Person in Section 1 of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Acquiring Person shall mean any Person (as such term is hereinafter defined) who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates (as such terms are hereinafter defined) of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner (as such term is hereinafter defined) of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding, but shall not include the Company, any Subsidiary (as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or any entity holding shares of Common Stock of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) no Person shall become an Acquiring Person as the result of an acquisition of shares of Common Stock by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person to 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding as a result of any such acquisition of shares of Common Stock by the Company and shall, after such acquisition of shares by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional shares of Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction effected by the Company in which all holders of Common Stock of the Company are treated equally), then such Person shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person;
(ii) if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an Acquiring Person as defined pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph (i), has become such inadvertently, and such Person divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock of the Company so that such Person would no longer be an Acquiring Person, then such Person shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for any purpose of this Agreement;
(iii) Sanjiv S. Sidhu, together with his spouse, lineal descendants (whether by blood or adoption) and any Persons (whether now or hereafter existing) formed primarily for Mr. Sidhus or his spouses or his lineal

(iv) Neither the Investor (as such term is hereinafter defined) nor any of its Affiliates or Associates shall be deemed Acquiring Persons on account of (w) shares beneficially owned as of the date of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (as such term is hereinafter defined) and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Common Stock Equivalents (as such term is hereinafter defined) beneficially owned as of the date of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, (x) the execution and delivery of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including but not limited to (1) the acquisition of the Shares (as such term is hereinafter defined) or shares of Common Stock upon a conversion in accordance with the Certificate of Designations (as such term is hereinafter defined), and (2) the acquisition of any additional securities pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, (y) the acquisition of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents after the date of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement other than Shares or shares of Common Stock described in (x) (provided that such amount specified in this clause (y) when added to the amount specified in clause (w) does not exceed 15% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding) and (z) any additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents acquired pursuant to a dividend, distribution or antidilution adjustment paid or made by the Company on the outstanding Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or the Series B Preferred Stock (as such term is hereinafter defined) or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or the Series B Preferred Stock.
