forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for
such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Rights Agent, and with each
transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock and for the Class B Common
Stock, a copy of such certificate, and (c) provide notice to the

contained in such certificate."
Except as herein specifically amended, the Rights Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the
