1.2 The definition of “Change in Control” set forth in Section 1 of each individual Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Change in Control” shall mean:

(i) the acquisition by any Person of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the “Controlling Interest”); provided, however, that for purposes of this definition, the following acquisitions shall not constitute or result in a Change in Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company; (2) any acquisition by any Person that

(ii) the consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the acquisition of assets or stock or equity interests of another Person or entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless (A) immediately following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the Persons who were the owners or holders of the Controlling Interest immediately prior to such Business Combination own or hold, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or equivalent persons) of the corporation or other Person resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation or other Person which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring corporation or other Person is referred to herein as the “Acquiring Person”) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership or holding, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Controlling Interest, and (2) at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors or equivalent body of the corporation or other Person resulting from such Business Combination were members of the incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination, or (B) any such Business Combination consists of any acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company owned or held by Sanken or any of its affiliates, provided that neither such acquisition nor any series of related acquisitions also include or involve outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company owned or held by OEP or any of its affiliates; or
