     1.2 A new Section 35 is hereby added to read in its entirety as follows:
“Section 35. Termination. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, but only if the Effective Time shall occur, (a) this Agreement shall terminate and be without any further force or effect, (b) none of the parties to this Agreement will have any rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder and (c) the Rights shall be cancelled and extinguished and no Person who at any time was the holder of any of the Rights shall be entitled to any benefits, rights or other interests under this Agreement, including without limitation, the right to purchase or otherwise acquire Preferred Shares or any other securities of the Company or of any other Person or Principal Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 18 and Section 20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.”
2. No Other Amendment. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without any modification. By executing this Amendment below, the Company certifies that this Amendment has been executed and delivered in compliance with the terms of Section 27 of the Rights Agreement and is consistent with the terms thereof. This Amendment shall be deemed an amendment to the Rights Agreement and shall become effective when executed and delivered by the Company and the Rights Agent as provided under Section 27 of the Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 30 of the Rights Agreement, Omaha Holdco Inc. and Omaha Acquisition Inc. shall be express third party beneficiaries hereof.
3. Effect of Amendment. This Amendment shall be effective as of the date first written above; provided, however, that this Amendment shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect on the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time in accordance with its terms. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Amendment and the Rights Agreement and the exhibits thereto, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern.
4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
5. Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such state applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely within such state. If any term or other provision of the Amendment is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Amendment shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect and upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, this Amendment and such term or other provision shall be deemed to have been amended so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the board of directors of the Company.
