The parties hereby agree that DBC may give CBS confidential written notice of its intent to enter into an agreement which would cause a DBC Change of Control, together with a description of the party with whom DBC intends to effect such a transaction. CBS shall have twenty (20) days from receipt of such notice to respond to DBC in writing as to whether it would elect to trigger the provisions of this Section 2 with respect to such potential DBC Change of Control. If, and only if, CBS notifies DBC in writing that it would not make such election, CBS shall be deemed to have waived its right to trigger such mandatory transfer provisions with respect to such potential DBC Change of Control.
