WHEREAS, the Rights Agent has changed its name from “Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A.” to “Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.” since the original date of the Rights Agreement and desires to amend the Rights Agreement to reflect this name change; and

 

WHEREAS, on January 29, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company, in accordance with Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, determined it to be desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to supplement and amend certain provisions of the Rights Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties

hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  Amendments to Rights Agreement.  The following provisions of the Rights Agreement are

amended as follows:

 

(a)           The definition of “Acquiring Person” in Section 1(a) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

Acquiring Person” shall mean any Person who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, but shall not include (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (iv) any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan, (v) any Common Shares beneficially owned by the Company’s Chairman, Joseph B. Costello (hereinafter “Costello”), or (vi) following the death of Costello, any Person directly receiving Common Shares from Costello pursuant to the last will and testament of Costello or, if no such will exists at the time of his death, then pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution as may be applicable to his estate upon his death; provided, however, that if Costello (or any Person directly receiving Common Shares from Costello pursuant to clause (vi) above) shall become the Beneficial Owner of 49.99% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, then Costello (or any Person directly receiving Common Shares from Costello pursuant to clause (vi) above) shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall become an “Acquiring Person” as the result of an

 



 

acquisition of Common Shares by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person and such Person’s Affiliates and Associates to 20% or more (or, with respect to Costello, 49.99% or more) of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a Person, together with such Person’s Affiliates and Associates, shall become the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more (or, with respect to Costello, 49.99% or more) of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding by reason of share purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the Company, such Person, together with its Affiliates and Associates, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares of the Company, then such Person shall be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person.”

entirety as follows:
