first person, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns or exercises control
or
direction over securities of the second person carrying votes which, if
exercised, would entitle the first person to elect a majority of the directors
of the second person, unless that first person holds the voting securities
only
to secure an obligation, (b) the second person is a partnership, other than
a
limited partnership, and the first person holds more than 50% of the interest
of
the partnership, or (c) the second person is a limited partnership and the
general partner of the limited partnership is the first person. An issuer is
controlled by a person or company if voting securities of the issuer are held
(other than as security for bona fide debt) by or for the benefit of that person
or company, and the voting rights attached to those voting securities are
sufficient, if exercised, to elect a majority of the directors of the
issuer.
