An “Acquiring Person” means any person who becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to certain specified exceptions set forth in the Rights Plan, including passive institutional investors. The Rights Plan also provides that any person who would otherwise be deemed an Acquiring Person as of the date of the adoption of the Rights Plan will not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for so long as such person does not acquire, subject to certain specified exceptions, beneficial ownership of any additional shares of Common Stock following adoption of the Rights Plan. If the Rights become exercisable, all holders of Rights (other than the person or group triggering the Rights Plan, whose Rights would become void) will be entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock at a 50% discount to the then-current market price or the Company may exchange each Right held by such holders for one share of Common Stock. The Rights will expire at the close of business on the day before the first anniversary of the date of the Rights Plan, unless the Rights Plan is amended to change the Final Expiration Date (as defined in the Rights Plan) or the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company.

The “Distribution Date” means the close of business on the business day immediately following the earlier of (i) the Flip-In Date (as defined in the Rights Plan) or (ii) 10 business days after the date (prior to such time as any person becomes an Acquiring Person), if any, as may be determined by action of the Board, in its sole discretion, following the commencement of, or public announcement of an intention to commence, a tender or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becoming an Acquiring Person.
