EXHIBIT A
For purposes of this Agreement, an Acceleration Event shall be deemed to
have occurred if after the date of the closing of the initial public offering by
the Company (i) a report on Schedule 13D shall be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Act"), disclosing that any person other than the Company
or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company, is the beneficial owner
(as the term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) directly or indirectly, of
thirty-five percent or more of the total voting power represented by the
Company's then outstanding Voting Securities (calculated as provided in
paragraph (d) of Rule 13d-3 under the Act in the case of rights to acquire
Voting Securities); or (ii) any person, other than the Company or any employee
benefit plan sponsored by the Company, shall purchase shares pursuant to a
tender offer or exchange offer to acquire any voting Securities of the Company
(or securities convertible into such Voting Securities) for cash, securities or
any other consideration, provided that after consummation of the offer, the
person in question is the beneficial owner directly or indirectly, of
thirty-five percent or more of the total voting power represented by the
Company's then outstanding Voting Securities (all as calculated under clause
(i)); or (iii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve (A) any
consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the
continuing or surviving corporation (other than a merger of the Company in which
holders of Common Shares of the Company inunediately prior to the merger have
the same proportionate ownership of Common Shares of the surviving corporation
immediately after the merger as immediately before), or pursuant to which Common
Shares of the Company would be converted into cash, securities or other
property, or (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction
or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all the assets of
the Company; or (iv) there shall have been a change in the composition of the
Board of Directors of the Company at any time during any consecutive twenty four
month period such that "continuing directors" cease for any reason to constitute
at least a 51% majority of the Board. For purposes of this clause, "continuing
directors" means those members of the Board who either were directors at the
beginning of such consecutive twenty-four month period or were elected by or on
the nomination or recommendation of at least a 51% majority of the then-existing
Board. So long as there has not been an Acceleration Event within the meaning of
clause (iv), the Board of Directors may adopt by a 51% majority vote of the
"continuing directors" a resolution to the effect that an event described in
clauses (i) or (ii) shall not constitute an Acceleration Event.
