      transactions."

      3.    Subparagraph A.3.c. of the "Corporate Transaction/

      tors then still in office who shall at that time have served
      continuously on the Board since January 1, 2000 or whose election or

      viduals who comprised the Board immediately prior to such sale or
      disposition.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company
