Officer or President of the situation constituting a
"Constructive Termination" hereunder, and the Chief Executive
Officer or President has failed to cure such situation within
thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice, and

voting capital stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger or consolidation (on a fully diluted basis),
