following any material change in the terms of the Offer,  other than a change in
price or a change in percentage of securities sought or a change in any dealer's
soliciting  fee,  will depend  upon the facts and  circumstances  including  the
materiality  of the  change  with  respect  to a change in price or,  subject to
certain limitations,  a change in the percentage of securities ought or a change

consideration  offered  pursuant to the Offer,  and if the Offer is scheduled to

given to Unit holders,  the Offer will be extended at least until the expiration
of such ten business days. For purposes of the Offer, a "business day" means any
day other than a Saturday,  Sunday or federal  holiday and  consists of the time

theretofore  been  accepted for payment as provided  above.  If  tendering  Unit

pursuant to the Offer for those  Units,  Purchasers  will take into  account the
number  of Units so  tendered  and take up and pay for as  nearly  as may be pro
