Company being the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes
referred to as the "Surviving Corporation"), upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;
WHEREAS each Stockholder owns beneficially and (except
as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto) of record the number
of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the
Company (the "Common Stock") set forth opposite its name on

note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement,
instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment,
order, notice, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or
