Effective July 17, 2008, the Company and the Rights Agent executed a Fourth Amendment to the Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides that the Siegel Shareholders could avoid becoming an Acquiring Person by divesting all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them by October 16, 2012.
