A. | Following Section 7 of the Lease, the following paragraph is hereby added: |
“Change of Control” means the transfer of more than 50% of the control of a party, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets (in one or more transactions), of a party from the person or persons that hold such control of such party on the Amendment 2 Effective Date to another person or persons, but shall not include: i) a transfer of control, or such a sale of assets, to an affiliate (as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933) of such party; or ii) as a result of a public offering of a party’s shares pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.
