the transactions contemplated hereby as expeditiously as possible
thereafter; provided that, if the Companies conclude prior to

another business combination intended to achieve, as nearly as
practicable, similar economic results for the Companies as the

Company if the definitive agreements have not been executed on or
prior to December 15, 2002; or (c) prior thereto, if the other
Company is no longer negotiating in good faith as provided in Section

good faith exercise of its fiduciary duties that such termination is
in the best interests of such Company. In the event either of the
Companies decides to terminate this Agreement, it shall, to the
extent reasonably practical, endeavor to inform the other Company of
the reasons for such decision, to provide the other Company ten days'
prior written notice of its intention to terminate and to afford the
other party an opportunity during such ten-business day period to
address the reasons for such termination.
13. NATURE OF AGREEMENT. The Companies acknowledge that this LOI is a
statement of their mutual intention only, and unless definitive
