RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Second Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2013 (the "Agreement"), between TREDEGAR CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation (the "Company"), and COMPUTERSHARE TRUST COMPANY, N.A. (the "Rights Agent"), provides as follows:

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, effective on June 30, 1999, pursuant to a Rights Agreement, dated and executed as of the same date (the “Original Agreement”) the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one Right (as hereinafter defined) for each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Company to shareholders of record at the Close of Business (as hereafter defined) on June 18, 1999;

WHEREAS, effective June 30, 2009, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated and executed as of the same date (the "First Amended and Restated Rights Agreement"), the Company amended and restated the Original Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has determined it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to further amend and restate the First Amended and Restated Rights Agreement to make certain changes therein, and for that purpose has approved and authorized the execution on behalf of the Company of this Second Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective at 5:00 p.m., Richmond, Virginia time on the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, in addition to the Rights outstanding and appurtenant to the shares of the Common Stock of the Company, the Board of Directors has authorized (except as provided in this Agreement) the issuance of one Right (as such number may hereafter be adjusted as provided herein) for each share of Common Stock that shall be issued between the record date for the original issuance of the Rights and the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Expiration Date (as such terms are hereinafter defined) unless the Board of Directors provides to the contrary before or at the time of issuance of any such Common Stock, with each Right initially representing the right to purchase one Unit of Preferred Stock (as hereinafter defined) and being in the form of the Rights Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof (the "Rights");

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Certain Definitions

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated:

(a) "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person who or which, alone or together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall at any time be the Beneficial Owner of either or both of (i) twenty percent (20%) or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding or (ii) twenty percent (20%) or more of the Rights then outstanding, but shall not include (a) the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Person holding Common Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan; (b) any Person, who on the first date of public announcement of the Board's determination to adopt the Agreement, is the Beneficial Owner of either or both of (i) twenty percent (20%) or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding or (ii) twenty percent (20%) or more of the Rights then outstanding, unless and until such Person acquires Beneficial Ownership of additional shares of Common Stock (other than Beneficial Ownership of any Common Stock which any such Person may receive (whether in the form of options, restricted stock or other equity-linked securities) as compensation for their service as an officer or director of the Company) representing one percent (1%) or more of the Common Stock then outstanding, in which case, such Person shall become an Acquiring Person (and this clause (b) shall no longer apply to such Person); or (c) any such Person who has become and is such a Beneficial Owner solely because (1) of a reduction in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding due to a repurchase of shares of Common Stock by the Company since the last date on which such Person acquired Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Common Stock or (2) it acquired such Beneficial Ownership in the good faith belief that such acquisition would not (A) cause such Beneficial Ownership to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding and such Person relied in good faith in computing the percentage of its Beneficial Ownership on publicly filed reports or documents of the Company that are inaccurate or out−of−date or (B) otherwise cause a Distribution Date or the adjustment provided for in Section 11(a) to occur. Notwithstanding clause (c)(2) of the preceding sentence, if any Person that is not an Acquiring Person due to such clause (c)(2) does not reduce its percentage of Beneficial Ownership of shares of Common Stock to less than twenty percent (20%) by the Close of Business on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after written notice from the Company (the date of notice being the first (1^st) day) that such Person's Beneficial Ownership of shares of Common Stock so exceeds twenty percent (20%), such Person shall, at the end of such five (5) Business Day period, become an Acquiring Person (and such clause (c)(2) shall no longer apply to such Person). For purposes of this definition, the determination whether any Person acted in "good faith" shall be conclusively determined by the Board of Directors, acting by a vote of those directors of the Company whose approval would be required to redeem the Rights under Section 23.

(b) "Act" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1(f)(iv) hereof.

(iii) that such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or Associates, directly or indirectly, has the right to vote or dispose of or has "beneficial ownership" of (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, or to "beneficially own," any security under this subparagraph (iii) as a result of an agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such security if such agreement, arrangement or understanding: (A) arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, and (B) the beneficial ownership of such security is not also then reportable by such Person on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor report); or

(iv) that are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person (or any Affiliate or Associate thereof) with which such Person (or any of such Person's Affiliates or Associates) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any voting securities of the Company (including any securities of the Company beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such other Person (or any Affiliate or Associate thereof) as a hedge against loss in connection with any derivative instrument or similar contract or agreement the value or return on which is based on or linked to the value of or return of any of the Company's securities) except pursuant to a revocable proxy as described in the proviso to subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph (c);

Subject to the provisions of Section 7(e) hereof, as soon as practicable after the Company has notified the Rights Agent of the occurrence of a Distribution Date, the Rights Agent shall send by first−class, insured, postage prepaid mail, to each such record holder of shares of the Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records of the Company, one or more rights certificates, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Rights Certificates"), evidencing one Right for each share of Common Stock so held, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

Until the earlier of the Distribution Date, the redemption of the Rights in accordance with Section 23 hereof (the "Redemption Date") or the Expiration Date, the transfer of any certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock in respect of which Rights have been issued shall also constitute, subject to the provisions of Section 7(e) hereof, the transfer of the Rights associated with such shares of Common Stock.

(c) Rights issued as of June 30, 1999 and other Rights issued before the date of this Agreement pursuant to either the Original Agreement or the First Amended and Restated Agreement will remain outstanding. Unless the Board of Directors by resolution adopted at or before the time of the issuance (including pursuant to the exercise of rights under the Company's stock option, stock purchase or other benefit plans) of any shares of Common Stock specifies to the contrary, Rights shall be issued in respect of all shares of Common Stock that are issued after the date of this Agreement but prior to the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Expiration Date. Certificates representing shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the date hereof that are issued upon transfer or exchange of such Common Stock, shall also be deemed to be certificates for Rights, and shall bear the following legend:

This certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain Rights as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Rights Agreement between Tredegar Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the "Company") and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the "Rights Agent") dated as of November 18, 2013, as may be amended from time to time (the "Rights Agreement"), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal offices of the Company. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such Rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate. The Company will mail to the holder of this certificate a Summary of Rights, in the form of Exhibit B to the Rights Agreement, as in effect on the date of mailing, without charge promptly after receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement, Rights that are owned or that were previously owned by a Person who is, was or becomes an Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person may become null and void.

With respect to such certificates containing the foregoing legend, until the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date or (ii) the Expiration Date, the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificates shall be evidenced by such certificates alone and registered holders of Common Stock shall also be the registered holders of the associated Rights, and the transfer of any of such certificates shall also constitute, subject to the provisions of Section 7(e) hereof, the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificates. Similarly, during such time periods, transfers of shares participating in the direct registration system shall also be deemed to be transfers of the associated Rights. In the case of any shares participating in the direct registration system, the Company shall cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock to include on each direct registration account statement with respect thereto issued prior to the Distribution Date a notation to the effect that the shares of Common Stock on the statement also represent the underlying Rights issued under this Rights Agreement, and Company will mail to the shareholder a copy of the Rights Agreement, as in effect on the date of mailing, without charge, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor and that the recipient of the statement, as a holder of shares of Common Stock, may have certain rights thereunder. In the event that shares of the Common Stock are not represented by certificates, references in this Agreement to certificates shall be deemed to refer to the notations in the book entry accounts reflecting ownership of such shares.

In the event that the Company purchases or acquires any shares of Common Stock after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Distribution Date, any Rights associated with such shares of Common Stock shall be deemed canceled and retired so that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any Rights associated with the shares of Common Stock that are no longer outstanding.

Section 4. Form of Rights Certificates

(a) The Rights Certificates (and the forms of election to purchase and of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall each be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and may have such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Rights may from time to time be listed, or to conform to usage. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7, 11 and 22 hereof, the Rights Certificates, whenever distributed, shall be dated as of the Distribution Date, and on their face shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase such number of Units of Preferred Stock as shall be set forth therein at the price set forth therein (such exercise price per Unit, being hereinafter referred to as the "Purchase Price"), but the amount and type of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Right and the Purchase Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(b) Any Rights Certificate issued pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 22 hereof that represents Rights beneficially owned by: (i) an Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person, (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes such, or (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming such and receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer (whether or not for consideration) from the Acquiring Person to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person or to any Person with whom such Acquiring Person has any continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer that the Board of Directors has determined is part of a plan, arrangement or understanding which has as a primary purpose to avoid or effects the avoidance of Section 7(e) hereof, and any Rights Certificate issued pursuant to Section 6 or Section 11 hereof upon transfer, exchange, replacement or adjustment of any other Rights Certificate referred to in this sentence, shall contain (to the extent feasible) the following legend:

The Rights represented by this Rights Certificate are or were beneficially owned by a person who was or became an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or an Associate of an Acquiring Person. Accordingly, this Rights Certificate and the Rights represented hereby may become void in the circumstances specified in Section 7(e) of the Rights Agreement.

The Company shall notify the Rights Agent, and, if such notification is given orally, the Company shall confirm promptly the same in writing, at such time as the Company has notice that any Person constitutes an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, and until such notice is received by the Rights Agent the Rights Agent may conclusively presume for all purposes that the foregoing legend need be imprinted only on Right Certificates beneficially owned by Persons that the Company has previously identified to the Rights Agent as constituting an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person and transferees of any such Persons.

Section 5. Execution, Countersignature and Registration

(a) The Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President or any Vice President, either manually or by facsimile signature, and shall have affixed thereto the Company's seal or a facsimile thereof which shall be attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature. The Rights Certificates shall be countersigned manually or by facsimile by the Rights Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The Rights Certificates shall be countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Rights Agent but it shall not be necessary for the same signatory to countersign all of the Rights Certificates issued hereunder. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Rights Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the Company before countersignature by the Rights Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Rights Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Rights Agent and issued and delivered by the Company with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such Rights Certificates had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Rights Certificates may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Rights Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Rights Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such an officer.

(b) Following the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its principal office or another office designated as the appropriate place for surrender of Rights Certificates upon exercise or transfer, books for registration and transfer of the Rights Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Rights Certificates, the number of Rights evidenced on its face by each of the Rights Certificates and the date of each of the Rights Certificates.

Section 6. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Rights Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Rights Certificates

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), Section 7(e) and Section 14 hereof, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and at or prior to the Close of Business on the Expiration Date, any Rights Certificate or Certificates may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Rights Certificate or Certificates (other than Rights Certificates that have become void pursuant to Section 7(e) hereof or that have been exchanged pursuant to Section 24 hereof) entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number of Units of Preferred Stock (or, following a Triggering Event, Common Stock, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) as the Rights Certificate or Certificates surrendered then entitle such holder (or former holder in the case of a transfer) to purchase. Any registered holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Rights Certificate or Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender the Rights Certificate or Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the principal office or another office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose. Neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to take any action whatsoever with respect to the transfer of any such surrendered Rights Certificate until the registered holder shall have completed and signed the certification contained in the form of assignment on the reverse side of such Rights Certificate and shall have provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request. Thereupon the Rights Agent shall, subject to Sections 7(e) and 14, countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company may require payment from the holder of the Rights of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Rights Certificates.

(b) Subject to Section 7(e) hereof, upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Rights Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to them, and reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Rights Certificate if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver to the Rights Agent a new Rights Certificate of like tenor for countersignature and delivery to the registered owner in lieu of the Rights Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and the Rights Agent may amend this Agreement to provide for uncertificated Rights in addition to or in place of Rights evidenced by Rights Certificates.

Section 7. Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date of Rights; Restriction on Transfer of Rights

(a) Subject to Section 7(e) hereof, the registered holder of any Rights Certificate may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise provided herein including, without limitation, the restrictions on exercisability set forth in Section 9(c), Section 11(a)(ii), Section 11(a)(iii), Section 13, Section 23(a), and Section 24 hereof) in whole or in part at any time after the Distribution Date upon surrender of the Rights Certificate, with the form of election to purchase and the certification on the reverse side thereof duly executed, to the Rights Agent at the principal office or another office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, together, except as otherwise provided in Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, with payment of the aggregate Purchase Price with respect to the total number of Units of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock or other securities or property, as the case may be) as to which surrendered Rights are then exercisable, at or prior to the Expiration Date.

(b) The Purchase Price for each Unit of Preferred Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Right shall initially be $150 and shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 11 hereof and shall be payable in accordance with paragraph (c) below.

(c) Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate representing exercisable Rights, with the form of election to purchase and the certification duly executed, accompanied by payment, with respect to each Right so exercised, of the Purchase Price per Unit of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock, other securities or property, as the case may be) to be purchased as set forth below and an amount equal to any applicable transfer tax, the Rights Agent shall, subject to Section 20(k) hereof, thereupon promptly, (i) (A) requisition from any transfer agent of the shares of Preferred Stock (or make available, if the Rights Agent is the transfer agent for such shares) certificates for the total number of shares of Preferred Stock to be purchased and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such requests, or (B) if the Company shall have elected to deposit the total number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights hereunder with a depositary agent, requisition from the depositary agent depositary receipts representing such number of shares of Preferred Stock as are to be purchased (in which case certificates for the shares of Preferred Stock represented by such receipts shall be deposited by the transfer agent with the depositary agent) and the Company will direct the depositary agent to comply with such request, requisition from the Company the amount of cash, if any, to be paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof, after receipt of such certificates or depositary receipts, cause the same to be delivered to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder, and (iv) after receipt thereof, deliver such cash, if any, to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate. The payment of the Purchase Price (as such amount may be reduced (including to zero) pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) hereof) may be made in cash or by certified bank check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company. In the event that the Company is obligated to issue other securities of the Company, pay cash and/or distribute other property pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Company will make all arrangements necessary so that such other securities, cash and/or other property are available for distribution by the Rights Agent, if and when appropriate.

(d) In case the registered holder of any Rights Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Rights Certificate evidencing Rights equivalent to the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued by the Rights Agent and delivered to, or upon the order of, the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder, subject to the provisions of Sections 6 and 14 hereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, any Rights that are or were at any time beneficially owned by (i) an Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person, (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes such, or (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming such and receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer (whether or not for consideration) from the Acquiring Person to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person or to any Person with whom the Acquiring Person has any continuing agreement, plan, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer that the Board of Directors has determined is part of an agreement, plan, arrangement or understanding that has as a primary purpose or effect the avoidance of this Section 7(e), shall become null and void without any further action and no holder of such Rights shall have any rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights, whether under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the provisions of this Section 7(e) and Section 4(b) hereof are complied with, but neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of Rights Certificates or any other Person as a result of its failure to make any determinations with respect to an Acquiring Person or its Affiliates or Associates, or any transferee thereof, hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any action with respect to a registered holder upon the occurrence of any purported exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall have (i) completed and signed the certification contained in the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Rights Certificate surrendered for such exercise and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request.

Section 8. Cancellation and Destruction of Rights Certificates

All Rights Certificates surrendered or presented for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange and any Rights Certificate representing Rights that have become null and void and nontransferable pursuant to Section 7(e) that are surrendered or presented for any purpose, shall, if surrendered or presented to the Company or any of its agents, be delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation, or, if surrendered or presented to the Rights Agent, shall be canceled by it, and no Rights Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Rights Certificate purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Rights Agent shall deliver all canceled Rights Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such canceled Rights Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company.

Section 9. Reservation and Availability of Preferred Stock

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock (or, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, out of its authorized and unissued Preferred Stock or other securities, as the case may be), the number of shares of Preferred Stock (or such other securities) that, except as provided in Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, will be sufficient from time to time to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights and all Rights that are at the time issuable, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) So long as the shares of Preferred Stock (and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, any other securities) issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights may be listed on any national securities exchange, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause, from and after such time as the Rights become exercisable, all shares reserved for such issuance to be listed on such exchange upon official notice of issuance.

(c) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to file, as soon as practicable following the earliest date after the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event on which the consideration to be delivered by the Company upon exercise of the Rights has been determined in accordance with Section 11(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof, or as soon as is required by law following the Distribution Date, as the case may be, a registration statement under the Act on an appropriate form, with respect to the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, (ii) to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, and (iii) to cause such registration statement to remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Act) until the earlier of (A) the date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable for such securities, and (B) the Expiration Date. The Company will also take such action as may be appropriate under, or to ensure compliance with, the securities or "blue sky" laws of the various states in connection with the exercisability of the Rights. The Company may temporarily suspend, for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days after the date set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 9(c), the exercisability of the Rights in order to prepare and file such registration statement and permit it to become effective. Upon any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating, and notify the Rights Agent, that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended. The Company shall also issue a public announcement at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable in any jurisdiction unless the requisite qualification in such jurisdiction shall have been obtained.

(d) The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Preferred Stock (or other securities, as the case may be) delivered upon exercise or exchange of the Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such shares (subject to payment of the Purchase Price), be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(e) The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates and of any certificates for shares of Preferred Stock (or other securities, as the case may be) upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of a number of shares of Preferred Stock (or other securities, as the case may be) in respect of a name other than that of, the registered holder of the Rights Certificates evidencing Rights surrendered for exercise or to issue or deliver any certificates for a number of shares of Preferred Stock (or other securities, as the case may be) in a name other than that of the registered holder upon the exercise of any Rights until such tax shall have been paid (any such tax being payable by the holder of such Rights Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company's satisfaction that no such tax is due.

Section 10. Preferred Stock Record Date

Each person in whose name any certificate for a number of shares of Preferred Stock (or other securities, as the case may be) is issued upon the exercise or exchange of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Preferred Stock (or other securities, as the case may be) represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and all applicable transfer taxes) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Preferred Stock (or other securities, as the case may be) transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares (fractional or otherwise) on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which such transfer books are open. Prior to the exercise of the Rights evidenced thereby, the holder of a Rights Certificate as such shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to shares for which the Rights shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein.

Section 11. Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number and Kind of Shares or Number of Rights

The Purchase Price, and the number and kind of shares covered by each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 11.

(a) (i) In the event the Company shall at any time after the date of this Agreement (A) declare a dividend on the Preferred Stock payable in shares of Preferred Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding Preferred Stock, (C) combine the outstanding Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Preferred Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation), except as otherwise provided in this Section 11(a), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the number and kind of shares of Preferred Stock or the number and kind of shares of other capital stock, as the case may be, issuable on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock or the number and kind of shares of other capital stock, as the case may be, that, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date and at a time when the Preferred Stock transfer books of the Company were open, he would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. If an event occurs that would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the adjustment provided for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof.

(ii) Subject to Section 23 and Section 24 hereof, in the event any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, then proper provision shall be made by the Company so that each record holder of each Right (except as provided in Section 7(e) hereof) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise thereof for the Purchase Price in accordance with terms of this Agreement, such number of Units of Preferred Stock (or, in lieu of Preferred Stock, at the option of the Company and to the extent available, such number of shares of Common Stock) as shall equal the result obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right is then exercisable and the denominator of which is fifty percent (50%) of the current market price of a share of Common Stock (determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on the date of the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event (such result being hereinafter referred to as the "Adjustment Shares").

(iii) To the extent that the number of shares of Preferred Stock that are authorized by the Company's articles of incorporation but not outstanding or reserved for issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights is not sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with the foregoing subparagraph (ii) of this Section 11(a), and subject to such limitations as are necessary to prevent a default under any agreement for money borrowed to which the Company is a party at the time and subject to any limitations contained in Section 13.1−653 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act or any successor provision, the Company shall: (A) determine the excess of (1) the value of the Adjustment Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Right (the "Current Value"), over (2) the Purchase Price (such excess being hereinafter referred to as the "Spread"), and (B) with respect to each Right, make adequate provision to substitute for such unavailable Adjustment Shares, upon payment of the applicable Purchase Price, (1) cash, (2) a reduction in the Purchase Price, (3) other equity securities of the Company, (4) debt securities of the Company, (5) other assets, or (6) any combination of the foregoing, having, together with the Adjustment Shares issued upon exercise of such Right, an aggregate value equal to the Current Value, where such aggregate value has been determined by the Board of Directors based upon the advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Board of Directors; provided, however, if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to deliver value pursuant to clause (B) above within thirty (30) days following the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, then the Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise of a Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, shares of preferred stock of the Company or Common Stock (to the extent such securities are available) and then, if necessary, cash, which securities and/or assets in the aggregate are equal in value to the Spread. If the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith that it is likely that sufficient additional shares of preferred stock of the Company or Common Stock could be authorized for issuance upon exercise in full of the Rights, the thirty (30) day period set forth above may be extended to the extent necessary, but not more than ninety (90) days following the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, in order that the Company may seek shareholder approval for the authorization of such additional shares (such period, as it may be extended, the "Substitution Period"). To the extent that the Company determines that some action need be taken pursuant to the first and/or second sentences of this Section 11(a)(iii), the Company (x) shall provide, subject to Section 7(e) hereof, that such action shall apply uniformly to all outstanding Rights, and (y) may suspend the exercisability of the Rights until the expiration of the Substitution Period in order to seek any authorization of additional shares and/or to decide the appropriate form of distribution to be made pursuant to such first sentence and to determine the value thereof. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect. For purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii), the value of the Common Stock shall be the current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) per share of the Common Stock on the date of the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event.

(b) If at any time after the date of this Agreement the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock or of any class or series of Equivalent Shares entitling such holders (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or Equivalent Shares (or securities convertible into Common Stock or Equivalent Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible into Common Stock or Equivalent Shares) less than the current market price of such Common Stock or Equivalent Shares on such record date, then, in each such case, each Right outstanding immediately prior to such record date shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, for the Purchase Price, that number of Units of Preferred Stock or Equivalent Shares obtained by multiplying the number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of a Right immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock and Equivalent Shares (if any) outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock and Equivalent Shares (if any) to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible) and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock and Equivalent Shares (if any) outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock or Equivalent Shares, as the case may be, that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock or Equivalent Shares, as the case may be, so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such current market price. In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration, part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent. Common Stock and Equivalent Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, each Right shall be adjusted to evidence the right to receive that number of Units of Preferred Stock that such Right would have entitled the holder to receive, for the Purchase Price, if such record date had not been fixed.

(c) If at any time after the date of this Agreement the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock or of any class or series of Equivalent Shares (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation) of cash (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend of the Company in compliance with Section 13.1−653 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act), evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities (other than Common Stock or any Equivalent Shares) or subscription rights, options or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 11(b) hereof), then, in each such case, each Right outstanding immediately prior to such record date shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, for the Purchase Price, that number of Units of Preferred Stock obtained by multiplying the number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of a Right immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price of a share of Common Stock or an Equivalent Share on the record date and the denominator of which shall be the current market price of a share of Common Stock or an Equivalent Share on such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent) of the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness, assets or securities so to be distributed or of such subscription rights, options or warrants applicable to a share of Common Stock or an Equivalent Share, as the case may be. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, each Right shall be adjusted to evidence the right to receive that number of Units of Preferred Stock that such Right would have entitled the holder to receive, for the Purchase Price, if such record date had not been fixed.

(d) (i) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, other than computations made pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, the "current market price" per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of such Common Stock for the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date, and for purposes of computations made pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, the "current market price" per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of such Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately following such date; provided, however, that in the event that the current market price per share of the Common Stock is determined during a period following the announcement by the issuer of such Common Stock of (A) a dividend or distribution on such Common Stock payable in shares of such Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of such Common Stock (other than the Rights), or (B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Common Stock, and prior to the expiration of the requisite thirty (30) Trading Day or ten (10) Trading Day period, as set forth above, after the ex−dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the "current market price" shall be properly adjusted to take into account ex−dividend trading. The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading or, if the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices quoted on such other quotation system then in general use, or, if on any such date the shares of Common Stock are not quoted by any organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Common Stock selected by the Board of Directors. If on any such date no market maker is making a market in the Common Stock, the fair value of such shares on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors shall be used. The term "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a Business Day. If the Common Stock is not publicly held or not so listed or traded, "current market price" per share shall mean the fair value per share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes.

(ii) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the "current market price" per share of Preferred Stock shall be determined in the same manner as set forth above for the Common Stock in Section 11(d)(i) hereof (other than the last sentence thereof). If the current market price per share of Preferred Stock cannot be determined in the manner provided above or if the Preferred Stock is not publicly held or listed or traded in a manner described in clause (i) of this Section 11(d), the "current market price" per share of Preferred Stock shall be conclusively deemed to be an amount equal to 100 (as such number may be appropriately adjusted for such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock and Preferred Stock occurring after the date of this Agreement) multiplied by the current market price per share of the Common Stock. If neither the Common Stock nor the Preferred Stock is publicly held or so listed or traded, "current market price" per share of the Preferred Stock shall mean the fair value per share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes. For all purposes of this Agreement, the "current market price" of one one−hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock shall be equal to the "current market price" of one share of Preferred Stock divided by 100.

(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the number of Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right is exercisable or in the Purchase Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such number of shares or in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 11(e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest ten−thousandth of a Unit of Preferred Stock, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11(e), any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall be made no later than the earlier of (i) three years from the date of the transaction that mandates such adjustment, or (ii) the Expiration Date.

(f) If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a) or 13(a) hereof, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock other than Preferred Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Right and if required, the Purchase Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Preferred Stock contained in Section 11(a), (b), (c), (e), (g), (h), (i), (l) and (m) hereof, and the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 hereof with respect to the Preferred Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.

(g) All Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Rights or to the Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, the adjusted number of Units of Preferred Stock or other securities purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(h) Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided below in this Section 11(h), upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made in Section 11(b) and (c), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of Units of Preferred Stock obtained by (i) multiplying (x) the number of Units of Preferred Stock covered by a Right immediately prior to this adjustment by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price. On or after the date of any adjustment of the Purchase Price, in lieu of any adjustment in the number of Units of Preferred Stock or any other capital stock purchasable upon the exercise of a Right, the Company may elect to adjust the number of Rights. Each of the Rights outstanding after the adjustment in the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number of Rights (calculated to the nearest one−ten−thousandth) obtained by dividing the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase Price. The Company shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but, if the Rights Certificates have been issued, shall be at least ten (10) days later than the date of the public announcement. If Rights Certificates have been issued, upon each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this Section 11(h), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Rights Certificates on such record date Rights Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 14 hereof, the additional Rights to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement for the Rights Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new Rights Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Rights Certificates so to be distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein (and may bear, at the option of the Company, the adjusted Purchase Price) and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of Rights Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement.

(i) Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of Units of Preferred Stock or the number and kind of other securities issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price per Unit, the number of Units and the other terms that were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder.

(j) Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below the then stated value, if any, of the number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable such number of Units of Preferred Stock at such adjusted Purchase Price.

(k) In any case in which this Section 11 shall require that an adjustment be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuance to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date of the number of Units of Preferred Stock and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Units of Preferred Stock and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due ▇▇▇▇ or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional shares (fractional or otherwise) or securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

(l) Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to the extent that in its good faith judgment the Board of Directors shall determine to be advisable in order that any (i) consolidation or subdivision of the Preferred Stock, (ii) issuance wholly for cash of any shares of Preferred Stock at less than the current market price, (iii) issuance wholly for cash of shares of Preferred Stock or securities that by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Preferred Stock, (iv) stock dividend or (v) issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 11, hereafter made by the Company to holders of its Preferred Stock shall not be taxable to such shareholders.

(m) The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not, at any time after the Distribution Date, (i) consolidate with any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(n) hereof), (ii) merge with or into any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(n) hereof), (iii) effect a statutory share exchange with any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(n) hereof), or (iv) sell or transfer (or permit any Subsidiary to sell or transfer), in one transaction, or a series of related transactions, assets or earning power aggregating more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person or Persons (other than the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in one or more transactions each of which complies with Section 11(n) hereof), if at the time of or immediately after such consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange or sale there are any rights, warrants or other instruments or securities of such other Person or Persons outstanding or agreements in effect that would substantially diminish or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights.

(n) The Company covenants and agrees that, after the Distribution Date, it will not, except as permitted by Section 23 or Section 27 hereof, take (or permit any Subsidiary to take) any action if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights.

(o) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Company shall at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Distribution Date (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Rights associated with each share of Common Stock then outstanding, or issued or delivered thereafter but prior to the Distribution Date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the number of Rights thereafter associated with each share of Common Stock following any such event shall equal the result obtained by multiplying the number of Rights associated with each share of Common Stock immediately prior to such event by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of the event and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the occurrence of such event.

Section 12. Certificates of Adjusted Purchase Price or Number of Shares

Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in Section 11 or Section 13 hereof, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting 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 Preferred Stock or the Common Stock, a copy of such certificate, and (c) mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Rights Certificate (or, if prior to the Distribution Date, to each holder of a certificate representing shares of Common Stock) in accordance with Section 25 hereof. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on any adjustment therein contained.

Section 13. Consolidation, Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets or Earning Power

In the event that, following the Stock Acquisition Date, directly or indirectly, (w) the Company shall consolidate with, or merge with and into, any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(n) hereof), and the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, (x) any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(n) hereof) shall consolidate with, or merge with or into, the Company, and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger and, in connection with such consolidation or merger, all or part of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, (y) the Company shall be a party to a statutory share exchange with any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(n) hereof) after which the Company is a Subsidiary of any other Person, or (z) the Company shall sell or otherwise transfer (or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise transfer), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, assets or earning power aggregating more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any Person or Persons (other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in one or more transactions each of which complies with Section 11(n) hereof), then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that: (i) each record holder of a Right, except as provided in Section 7(e) hereof, shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such number of validly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable and freely tradable shares of Common Stock of the Principal Party (as hereinafter defined), not subject to any liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal or other adverse claims, as shall be equal to the result obtained by (1) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right is exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event (or, if a Section 11(a)(ii) Event has occurred prior to the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event, multiplying the number of such Units for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such first occurrence), and (2) dividing that product (which, following the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event, shall be referred to as the "Purchase Price" for each Right for all purposes of this Agreement) by fifty percent (50%) of the current market price (determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i) hereof) per share of the Common Stock of such Principal Party on the date of consummation of such Section 13 Event; and (ii) such Principal Party shall thereafter be liable for, and shall assume, by virtue of such Section 13 Event, all the obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the term "Company" shall thereafter be deemed to refer to such Principal Party, it being specifically intended that the provisions of Section 11 hereof shall apply only to such Principal Party following the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event; (iv) such Principal Party shall take such steps (including, but not limited to, the reservation of a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock) in connection with the consummation of any such transaction as may be necessary to ensure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to its shares of Common Stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights; and (v) the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) hereof shall be of no effect following the first occurrence of any Section 13 Event.

(b) "Principal Party" shall mean

(i) in the case of any transaction described in clause (w), (x) or (y) of the first sentence of Section 13(a) hereof, the Person that is the issuer of any securities into which shares of Common Stock of the Company are converted in such merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange, and if no securities are so issued, the Person that is the other party to such merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange; and

(ii) in the case of any transaction described in clause (z) of the first sentence of Section 13(a) hereof, the Person that is the party receiving the greatest portion of the assets or earning power transferred pursuant to such transaction or transactions; provided, however, that in any such case, (1) if the Common Stock of such Person is not at such time and has not been continuously over the preceding twelve−month period registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and such Person is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another Person the Common Stock of which is and has been so registered, "Principal Party" shall refer to such other Person; and (2) in case such Person is a Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, of more than one Person, the Common Stocks of two or more of which are and have been so registered, "Principal Party" shall refer to whichever of such Persons is the issuer of the Common Stock having the greatest aggregate market value.

(c) The Company shall not consummate any such consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale or transfer unless the Principal Party shall have a sufficient number of authorized shares of its Common Stock that have not been issued or reserved for issuance to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with this Section 13 and unless prior thereto the Company and such Principal Party shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement providing for the terms set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 and further providing that, as soon as practicable after the date of any consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange or sale of assets mentioned in paragraph (a) of this Section 13, the Principal Party will

(i) prepare and file a registration statement under the Act on an appropriate form with respect to the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form, and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to (A) become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and (B) remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Act) until the Expiration Date and similarly comply with applicable state securities laws; and

(ii) deliver to record holders of the Rights historical financial statements for the Principal Party and each of its Affiliates that comply in all respects with the requirements for registration on Form 10 under the Exchange Act.

The provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations or statutory share exchanges or sales or other transfers. In the event that a Section 13 Event shall occur at any time after the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, the Rights that have not theretofore been exercised shall thereafter become exercisable in the manner described in Section 13(a) hereof.

Section 14. Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares

(a) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights, except prior to the Distribution Date as provided in Section 11(o) hereof, or to distribute Rights Certificates that evidence fractional Rights. In lieu of such fractional Rights, there shall be paid to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a whole Right. For purposes of this Section 14(a), the current market value of a whole Right shall be the closing price of the Rights for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which such fractional Rights would have been otherwise issuable. The closing price of the Rights for any day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Rights are listed or admitted to trading, or if the Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price, or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices on such other quotation system then in general use or, if on any such date the Rights are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Rights selected by the Board of Directors. If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in the Rights, the fair value of the Rights on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors shall be used.

(b) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Preferred Stock (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one−hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock) upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional shares of Preferred Stock (other than in such integral multiples). In lieu of fractional shares of Preferred Stock that are not in such integral multiples, the Company may pay to the registered holders of Rights Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of one one−hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock. For purposes of this Section 14(b), the current market value of one one−hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock shall be one one−hundredth of the current market price of a share of Preferred Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.

(c) The holder of a Right by the acceptance of the Right expressly waives his right to receive any fractional Right or any fractional shares upon exercise of a Right, except as permitted by this Section 14.

Section 15. Rights of Action

All rights of action in respect of this Agreement are vested in the respective registered holders of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, the registered holders of the Common Stock in respect of which Rights have been issued); and any registered holder of any Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of such Common Stock), without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of such Common Stock), may, in his own behalf and for his own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, his right to exercise the Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate in the manner provided in such Rights Certificate and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement and shall be entitled to specific performance of the obligations of any Person under, and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations of the obligations hereunder of any Person subject to, this Agreement.

Section 16. Agreement of Rights Holders

Every holder of a Right by accepting the same consents and agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right that:

(a) prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of Common Stock;

(b) after the Distribution Date, the Rights Certificates are transferable only on the registry books of the Rights Agent if surrendered at the principal office or another office of the Rights Agent designated for such purposes, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer and with the appropriate forms and certificates fully executed;

(c) subject to Section 6(a) and Section 7(f) hereof, the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, the associated Common Stock certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the Rights Certificate or the associated Common Stock certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, subject to the last sentence of Section 7(e) hereof, nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and

(d) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a Right or other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation; provided, however, the Company will use its best efforts to have any such order, decree or ruling lifted or otherwise overturned as soon as possible.

Section 17. Rights Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder

No holder, as such, of any Rights Certificate shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Units of Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Rights Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Rights Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting shareholders (except as provided in Section 25 hereof), to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Right or Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate shall have been exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Section 18. Concerning the Rights Agent

(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder from time to time, and on request of the Rights Agent, its reasonable and documented expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent (which gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable court order, judgment, decree or ruling of court of competent jurisdiction), for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability in the premises. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this right of indemnification shall be paid by the Company to the extent that the Rights Agent is successful in so enforcing its right of indemnification.

(b) The Rights Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of this Agreement in reliance upon any Rights Certificate or certificate for Common Stock or for other securities of the Company, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, instruction, consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or Persons, or otherwise upon the advice of counsel as set forth in Section 20 hereof.

(c) The provisions of this Section 18 and Section 20 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the exercise or expiration of the Rights and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent.

Section 19. Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent

(a) Any corporation into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the shareholder services business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21 hereof. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of a predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in the name of the predecessor or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement.

(b) In case at any time the name of the Rights Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement.

Section 20. Duties of Rights Agent

The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Rights Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound:

(a) The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

(b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter (including, without limitation, the identity of any Acquiring Person and the determination of "current market price") be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or omitting to take any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, any Vice Chairman, the President, any Vice President (whether or not preceded by any additional title), the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate.

(c) The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own, and its directors', employees', affiliates', agents', advisors', and representatives', gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (which gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable court order, judgment, decree or ruling of court of competent jurisdiction).

(d) The Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Rights Certificates or be required to verify the same (except as to its countersignature on such Rights Certificates), but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.

(e) The Rights Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of any provision of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Rights Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for any adjustment provided for in this Agreement or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights evidenced by Rights Certificates after actual notice of any such adjustment); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Rights Certificate or as to whether any shares of Preferred Stock will, when so issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(f) The Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement.

(g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any one of the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President (whether or not preceded by any additional title), the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer. At any time the Rights Agent may apply to the Company for written instructions with respect to any matter arising in connection with the Rights Agent's duties and obligations arising under this Agreement. Such application by the Rights Agent for written instructions from the Company may at the option of the Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Rights Agent with respect to its duties or obligations under this Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken and the Rights Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date specified therein (which date shall be not less than one (1) Business Day after the Company receives such application, without the Company's consent) unless, prior to taking or initiating any such action, the Rights Agent has received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. If, with respect to any Rights Certificate surrendered to the Rights Agent for exercise or transfer, the certificate attached to the form of assignment or form of election to purchase, as the case may be, has either not been completed or, in the case of the certification attached to the election to purchase, indicates an affirmative response to clause 1 and/or clause 2 thereof, the Rights Agent shall not take any further action with respect to such requested exercise or transfer without first consulting with the Company.

(h) The Rights Agent and any shareholder, director, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other Person.

(i) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct; provided, that reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof.

(j) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder (other than internal costs incurred by the Rights Agent in providing services to the Company in the ordinary course of its business as Rights Agent) or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(k) If, with respect to any Rights Certificate surrendered to the Rights Agent for exercise or transfer, the certificate attached to the form of assignment or form of election to purchase, as the case may be, has either not been completed or indicates an affirmative response to clause 1 and/or 2 thereof, the Rights Agent shall not take any further action with respect to such requested exercise of transfer without first consulting with the Company.

Section 21. Change of Rights Agent

The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' notice in writing mailed to the Company, and in the event that Rights Agent or one of its Affiliates is not also the transfer agent for the Company, to each transfer agent of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock, by registered or certified mail. In the event the transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and the Rights Agent terminates, the Rights Agent will be deemed to have resigned automatically and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement as of the effective date of such termination, and the Company shall be responsible for sending any required notice. The Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock, by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Rights Certificates (if any thereof have then been issued) by first−class mail. If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of a Rights Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit his Rights Certificate for inspection by the Company), then any registered holder of any Rights Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of the State of New York or the Commonwealth of Virginia or of another state of the United States (or of any other state of the United States so long as such corporation is authorized to do business as a banking institution in such state), and is in good standing, that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and that has, including with its Affiliates, at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Stock, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

Section 22. Issuance of New Rights Certificates

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Rights to the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Rights Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by its Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price and the number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property purchasable under the Rights Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, the Company may, if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board of Directors, issue Rights Certificates representing the appropriate number of Rights in connection with the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock following the Distribution Date.

Section 23. Redemption and Termination

(a) (i) The Company may, at its option, by resolution of its Board of Directors, at any time prior to the earlier of (A) the Close of Business on the tenth (10^th) day following the Stock Acquisition Date, or (B) the Final Expiration Date, order the redemption of all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights (which shall not include any rights that have become void pursuant to Section 7(e) hereof) at a redemption price of $.01 per Right, as it may be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors to reflect any stock split or combination, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (such redemption price being hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption Price") and the Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price either in shares of Common Stock (based on the current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) per share of the Common Stock at the time of redemption) or cash.

(ii) The Company shall, by resolution of its Board of Directors, order the redemption of all but not less than all of the then outstanding Rights (which shall not include any Rights that have become void pursuant to Section 7(e) hereof) at the Redemption Price in the event that Shareholder Approval has not been obtained on or prior to each of (1) November 18, 2014 and (2) every third anniversary of the Shareholder Approval obtained in satisfaction of the immediately foregoing clause (a)(ii)(1) of this Section 23 hereof; provided, that no Person has become an Acquiring Person prior to the applicable Redemption Date.

(b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 23 and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of a holder of such Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price for each Right so held. Promptly after the action of the Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall give notice of such redemption to the Rights Agent and to the holders of such Rights by mailing such notice to all such holders at each holder's last address as it appears upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Stock. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of redemption shall state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be effected.

(c) (i) In the event the Company receives a Qualified Offer and the Board of Directors has not redeemed the outstanding Rights or exempted such offer from the terms of this Agreement or set a date for a Special Meeting of shareholders ("Special Meeting") by the end of the ninety (90) days following the commencement (or, if later, the first existence) of a Qualified Offer, for the purpose of voting on whether or not to exempt such Qualified Offer from the terms of this Agreement, holders of record (or their duly authorized proxy) of at least ten percent (10%) of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding (other than shares of Common Stock held by the offeror or its Affiliates and Associates) may submit to the Board of Directors, not earlier than ninety (90) nor later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the commencement (or, if later, the first existence) of such Qualified Offer, a written notice complying with the terms of this Section 23(c) (the "Special Meeting Notice") directing the Board of Directors to submit to a vote of shareholders at a Special Meeting a resolution authorizing the redemption of all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price (the "Redemption Resolution"). For the purposes of a Special Meeting Notice, the record date for determining eligible holders of record of the Common Stock shall be the ninetieth (90^th) day following commencement of a Qualified Offer.

(ii) In the event the Board of Directors receives such Special Meeting Notice, the Board of Directors shall take such actions as are necessary or desirable to cause the Redemption Resolution to be so submitted to a vote of shareholders within ninety (90) days following receipt of the Company of the Special Meeting Notice (the "Special Meeting Period"), by including a proposal relating to adoption of the Redemption Resolution in the proxy materials of the Company for the Special Meeting; provided, however, that if the Company, at any time during the Special Meeting Period and prior to a vote on the Redemption Resolution, enters into a Definitive Acquisition Agreement, the Special Meeting Period may be extended (and any Special Meeting called in connection therewith may be canceled) if the Redemption Resolution will be separately submitted to a vote at the same meeting as the Definitive Acquisition Agreement; provided, further, however, that in any 12-month period the Company shall not be required to submit more than one Redemption Resolution to a vote of shareholders with respect to Qualified Offers from any given potential Acquiring Person (including any of its Affiliates or Associates). The Board of Directors shall set a date for determining the shareholders of record entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting in accordance with the Company's articles of incorporation and by-laws (as each may be amended from time to time), and applicable law.

(iii) Any Special Meeting Notice must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company and must set forth as to the shareholders of record executing the request (i) the name and address of such shareholders, as they appear on the Company's books and records, (ii) the class and number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that are beneficially owned and owned of record by each of such shareholders, and (iii) in the case of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by another Person, an executed certification by the holder of record that such holder has executed such Special Meeting Notice only after obtaining instructions to do so from such Beneficial Owner.

(iv) At the offeror's request, the Company shall include in any proxy soliciting material prepared by it in connection with the Special Meeting proxy soliciting material submitted by the offeror and cleared by the Securities and Exchange Commission by the offeror; provided, however, that the offeror, by written agreement with the Company contained in or delivered with such request, shall have indemnified the Company against any and all liabilities resulting from any statements found to be defamatory, misstatements, misleading statements or omissions contained in or omitted from the offeror's proxy soliciting materials and shall have agreed to pay the Company's incremental costs incurred as a result of including such material in the Company's proxy soliciting material. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Board of Directors may take a position in favor of or opposed to the adoption of the Redemption Resolution, or no position with respect to the Redemption Resolution, as it determines to be appropriate in the exercise of its fiduciary duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Board of Directors determines that it is in the best interests of shareholders to seek an alternative transaction so as to obtain greater value for shareholders than that provided by any Qualified Offer, the Company shall be entitled to include information relating to such alternative transaction in the proxy soliciting material prepared by it in connection with the Special Meeting.

(v) In the event that (A) no Person has become an Acquiring Person prior to the redemption date referred to below in this sentence, (B) the Qualified Offer continues to be a Qualified Offer prior to the last day of the Special Meeting Period (the "Outside Meeting Date") and (C) either (1) the Special Meeting is not held on or prior to the Outside Meeting Date, or (2) at the Special Meeting at which a quorum is present, the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date for the Special Meeting (excluding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the offeror or any of its Affiliates or Associates), shall vote in favor of the Redemption Resolution (and the results of the vote are certified as official by the appointed inspectors of election for the Special Meeting), then all of the Rights shall be deemed redeemed by such failure to hold the Special Meeting or as a result of such shareholder action, as the case may be, at the Redemption Price, or the Board of Directors shall take such other action as would prevent the existence of the Rights from interfering with the consummation of the Qualified Offer and any second step transaction contemplated thereby on the same terms, effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Qualified Offer, provided the Qualified Offer is consummated within sixty (60) days after either (x) the Close of Business on the tenth (10^th) business day after the Outside Meeting Date if a Special Meeting is not held on or prior to such date or (y) if a Special Meeting is held on or prior to the Outside Meeting Date, as of the date on which the results of the vote on the Redemption Resolution at the Special Meeting are certified as official by the appointed inspectors of election for the Special Meeting, as the case may be.

(vi) Nothing in this subparagraph (c) shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting the Company or any offeror from proposing or engaging in any acquisition, disposition or other transfer of any securities of the Company, any merger or consolidation involving the Company, any sale or other transfer of assets of the Company, any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or any other business combination or other transaction, or any other action by the Company or such offeror; provided, however, that the holders of Rights shall have the rights set forth in this Agreement with respect to any such acquisition, disposition, transfer, merger, consolidation, sale, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, business combination, transaction or action.

(d) Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Associates may redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at any time in any manner other than that specifically set forth in this Section 23 and other than in connection with the purchase or repurchase by any of them of Common Stock prior to the Distribution Date.

Section 24. Exchange

(a) The Company may, at its option, by resolution of its Board of Directors, at any time (including a time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person), exchange all or part of the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (which shall not include Rights that have become void pursuant to Section 7(e) hereof) for shares of Common Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock combination, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring with respect to the Common Stock after the date hereof (such exchange ratio being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Ratio").

(b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors authorizing the exchange of the Rights pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 24 and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of a holder of Rights shall be to receive that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. Promptly after the action of the Board of Directors authorizing the exchange of the Rights, the Company shall give notice of such exchange to the Rights Agent and to the holders of such Rights by mailing such notice to all such holders at each holder's last address as it appears upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Stock. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange of the shares of Common Stock for Rights will be effected.

(c) In the event that there shall not be sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued to permit the exchange in full of such Rights in accordance with this Section 24, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary to authorize additional shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exchange of the Rights. In the event the Company shall, after good faith effort, be unable to take all such action as may be necessary to authorize such additional shares of Common Stock, the Company shall substitute, for each share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon exchange of a Right, a number of shares of other equity securities of the Company or fraction thereof such that the current per share market price of one share of such other equity securities multiplied by such number or fraction is equal to the current per share market price of one share of Common Stock as of the date of issuance of such shares of such other equity securities or fraction thereof.

(d) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional shares of Common Stock. In lieu of such fractional shares of Common Stock, there shall be paid to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates with regard to which such fractional shares of Common Stock would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a whole share of Common Stock. For the purposes of this subsection (d), the current market value of a whole share of Common Stock shall be the closing price of a share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the Exchange Date.

Section 25. Notice of Certain Events

(a) In case the Company shall propose, at any time after the Distribution Date, (i) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of Preferred Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of Preferred Stock (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend of the Company in compliance with Section 13.1−653 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act), or (ii) to offer to the holders of Preferred Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any additional shares of Preferred Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, or (iii) to effect any reclassification of its Preferred Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock), or (iv) to effect any consolidation or merger into or with any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(n) hereof), or to effect a statutory share exchange with any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(n) hereof), or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to permit one or more of its Subsidiaries to effect any sale or other transfer), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person or Persons (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in one or more transactions each of which complies with Section 11(n) hereof), or (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then, in each such case, the Company shall give to each holder of a Rights Certificate, to the extent feasible and in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution of rights or warrants, or the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date for determining holders of the shares of Preferred Stock for purposes of such action, and in the case of any such other action, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock whichever shall be the earlier.

(b) In case any Section 11(a)(ii) Event shall occur, then, in any such case, (i) the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter give to each holder of a Rights Certificate, to the extent feasible and in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a notice of the occurrence of such event, which shall specify the event and the consequences of the event to holders of Rights under Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, and (ii) all references in the preceding paragraph to Preferred Stock shall be deemed thereafter to refer, if appropriate, not only to Preferred Stock but also to Common Stock or other securities.

Section 27. Supplements and Amendments

Prior to the Distribution Date and subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 27, the Company may, and the Rights Agent shall, if the Company so directs, supplement or amend any provision of this Agreement without the approval of any holders of certificates representing shares of Common Stock. From and after the Distribution Date and subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 27, the Company and the Rights Agent shall, if the Company so directs, supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of Rights Certificates in order (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provision contained herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (iii) to shorten or lengthen any time period hereunder, or (iv) to change or supplement the provisions hereunder in any manner that the Company may deem necessary or desirable and that shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights Certificates (other than an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person); provided, that this Agreement may not be supplemented or amended to lengthen, pursuant to clause (iii) of this sentence, (A) a time period relating to when the Rights may be redeemed at such time as the Rights are not then redeemable, or (B) any other time period unless such lengthening is for the purpose of protecting, enhancing or clarifying the rights of, and/or the benefits, to the holders of Rights. Upon the delivery of a certificate from an appropriate officer of the Company that states that the proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of this Section 27, the Rights Agent shall execute such supplement or amendment; provided, that such supplement or amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Rights Agent under this Agreement. No supplement or amendment shall be made that changes the Redemption Price, the Final Expiration Date, the Purchase Price or the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Right is exercisable; provided, however, that at any time prior to the Distribution Date, the Board of Directors may amend this Agreement to increase the Purchase Price or extend the Final Expiration Date. Prior to the Distribution Date, the interests of the holders of Rights shall be deemed coincident with the interests of the holders of Common Stock.

Section 28. Successors

The Board of Directors, acting in good faith, shall have the exclusive power and authority to administer this Agreement and to exercise all rights and powers specifically granted to the Board of Directors, or the Company, or as may be necessary or advisable in the administration of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right and power, acting in good faith, to (i) interpret the provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement (including a determination to redeem or not redeem the Rights or to amend the Agreement). All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations (including, for purposes of clause (y) below, all omissions with respect to the foregoing) which are done or made by the Board of Directors in good faith, shall (x) be final, conclusive and binding on the Company, the Rights Agent, the holders of the Rights and all other parties, and (y) not subject the Board of Directors to any liability to the holders of the Rights.

Section 30. Benefits of this Agreement

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company, the Rights Agent, the registered holders from time to time of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, registered holders of the Common Stock) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; and this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Persons specified above.

Section 31. Severability

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any such term, provision, covenant or restriction is held by such court or authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable and the Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment that severing the invalid language from this Agreement would adversely affect the purpose or effect of this Agreement, the right of redemption set forth in Section 23 hereof shall be reinstated and shall not expire until the Close of Business on the tenth (10^th) day following the date of such determination by the Board of Directors. Without limiting the foregoing, if any provision requiring a specific group of directors of the Company to act is held by any court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such determination shall then be made by the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable law and the Company's articles of incorporation and by-laws (as each may be amended from time to time).

Section 32. Governing Law

This Agreement, each Right and each Rights Certificate issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such Commonwealth applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such Commonwealth, except that the rights, duties and obligations of the Rights Agent shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 33. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. A signature to this Agreement transmitted electronically shall have the same authority, effect, and enforceability as an original signature.

Section 34. Descriptive Headings

This Rights Certificate is subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Rights Agreement, which terms, provisions and conditions are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof and to which Rights Agreement reference is hereby made for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities hereunder of the Rights Agent, the Company and the holders of the Rights Certificates, which limitations of rights include the temporary suspension of the exercisability of such Rights under the specific circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement. Under certain circumstances specified in Section 7(e) of the Rights Agreement, Rights that are or were owned by an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person may become null and void and no longer exercisable by any Person (including any subsequent transferee). Copies of the Rights Agreement are on file at the above−mentioned office of the Rights Agent and are also available upon written request to the Rights Agent or the Secretary of the Company.

This Rights Certificate, with or without other Rights Certificates, upon surrender at the principal office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, may be exchanged for another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates of like tenor and date evidencing Rights entitling the holder to purchase a like aggregate number of Units of Preferred Stock as the Rights evidenced by the Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates surrendered then entitle such holder to purchase.

Subject to the provisions of the Rights Agreement, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Rights evidenced by this Certificate at a redemption price of $.01 per Right or exchange the Rights for shares of Common Stock.

No fractional shares of Preferred Stock will be issued upon the exercise of any Right or Rights evidenced hereby (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one−hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock), but in lieu thereof a cash payment will be made, as provided in the Rights Agreement.

No holder of this Rights Certificate shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of shares of Preferred Stock or of any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof, nor shall anything contained in the Rights Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting shareholders (except as provided in the Rights Agreement), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Right or Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate shall have been exercised as provided in the Rights Agreement.

EXHIBIT B

SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE PREFERRED STOCK

On May 20, 1999, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Tredegar Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Virginia (the “Company”), approved a Rights Agreement, dated and effective as of June 30, 1999 (the “Original Rights Agreement”), and in June 2009, the Board renewed the Original Rights Agreement by approving an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2009 (the “First Amended and Restated Rights Agreement”), simultaneously with the expiration of the Original Rights Agreement. The Board further amended and restated the First Amended and Restated Rights Agreement on November 18, 2013 (the "Rights Agreement), having the principal terms summarized below. In connection with the Original Rights Agreement, the Board declared a dividend distribution of one right (“Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 18, 1999, and since the original issuance of the Rights, one Right has been issued with each new share of Common Stock issued by the Company. Such previously issued Rights that are appurtenant to shares of Common Stock outstanding at the effective time of the Rights Agreement remain outstanding.

Rights will also attach to shares of Common Stock issued after the record date for the original issuance of the Rights but prior to the Distribution Date (as defined below) unless the Board determines otherwise at the time of any particular issuance of such Common Stock. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement.

Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one−hundredth of a share of the Company's Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"). Each one one−hundredth of a share (a "Unit") of Preferred Stock is structured to be the equivalent of one share of Common Stock. The exercise price of each Right will be $150, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances (the "Purchase Price").

The Rights will be appurtenant to the shares of Common Stock and will be evidenced by Common Stock certificates, and no separate certificates evidencing the Rights (the "Rights Certificates") will be distributed until the occurrence of certain events. The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a distribution of the Rights Certificates will occur (the "Distribution Date") upon the earlier of (i) ten (10) business days following the first public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Stock Acquisition Date"), or (ii) such date designated by the Board following the commencement of, or first public disclosure of an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially becoming an Acquiring Person. Until the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be evidenced by the Common Stock certificates and will be transferred with and only with such Common Stock certificates, (ii) any Common Stock certificates issued after the original issuance of the Rights, will contain a legend incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Stock outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificates.

B-1

The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and, unless earlier redeemed by the Board, will expire at 5:00 P.M., Richmond, Virginia time, on June 30, 2019 (the "Final Expiration Date").

As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, Rights Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, and thereafter such separate Rights Certificates alone will represent the Rights.

While each Right provides initially for the acquisition of one Unit of Preferred Stock at the Purchase Price, the Rights Agreement provides that if any person becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right (except as set forth below) will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, Preferred Stock or, at the option of the Company, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to twice the amount of the Purchase Price.

In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company is acquired in a merger, statutory share exchange, or other business combination in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or (ii) fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except as set forth below) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, common stock of the acquiring company (or comparable equity securities of an acquiring entity that is not a corporation) having a value equal to twice the Purchase Price. The events set forth in this paragraph and in the immediately preceding paragraph are referred to as the "Triggering Events."

Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event that entitles Rights holders to purchase securities or assets of the Company, Rights that are or were owned by the Acquiring Person, or any affiliate or associate of such Acquiring Person, on or after such Acquiring Person's Stock Acquisition Date shall be null and void and shall not thereafter be exercised by any person (including subsequent transferees). Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event that entitles Rights holders to purchase common stock of a third party, or upon the authorization of an Exchange (as defined below), Rights that are or were owned by any Acquiring Person or any affiliate or associate of any Acquiring Person on or after such Acquiring Person's Stock Acquisition Date shall be null and void and shall not thereafter be exercised by any person (including subsequent transferees).

The Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other securities or property issuable upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution.

At any time (including a time after any person becomes an Acquiring Person), the Company may exchange all or part of the Rights (except as set forth below) for shares of Common Stock (an "Exchange") at an exchange ratio of one share per Right, as appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split or combination, reclassification or similar transaction.

B-2

At any time until ten (10) days following the Stock Acquisition Date, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right (the "Redemption Price"). Additionally, the Board is required to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at the Redemption Price, in the event that the Rights Agreement is not approved by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders of the Company at a meeting called for this purpose (i) by November 18, 2014 and (ii) on every third anniversary of such initial approval by the shareholders.

In addition, if a Qualified Offer (as described below) is made, the record holders of ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than shares held by the offeror and its affiliates and associates) may direct the Board to call a special meeting of the shareholders to consider a resolution authorizing a redemption of all of the Rights. If the special meeting is not held within ninety (90) days after the date on which notices requiring that a meeting is called is delivered by the Company or if, at the special meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding (other than shares held by the offeror and its affiliated and associated persons) vote in favor of the redemption of the Rights, then the Board will redeem the Rights or take such other action as may be necessary to prevent the Rights from interfering with the consummation of the Qualified Offer. Immediately upon the redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price. The Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price either in shares of Common Stock or cash.

A Qualified Offer, as more fully described in the Rights Agreement, is an offer determined by the independent directors on the Board to be a fully financed offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock that a nationally recognized investment banking firm does not deem to be either unfair or inadequate. A Qualified Offer is conditioned upon a minimum of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not held by the offeror (and its affiliated and associated persons) being tendered and not withdrawn, with a commitment to acquire all shares of Common Stock not tendered for the same consideration. If the Qualified Offer includes non−cash consideration, such consideration must consist solely of freely tradable common stock of a publicly traded company, and the Board and its representatives must be given access to conduct a due diligence review of the offeror to determine whether the offer is unfair or inadequate. A Qualified Offer must remain open for at least one hundred twenty (120) days following commencement (subject to certain possible extensions if a special meeting is called).

Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to shareholders or to the Company, shareholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become exercisable for Preferred Stock (or other consideration) of the Company or for common stock of the acquiring company as set forth above.

Prior to the Distribution Date, the Board may amend the Rights Agreement (subject to certain restrictions noted below). From and after the Distribution Date, the Board may amend the Rights Agreement in order to (i) cure any ambiguity, (ii) correct or supplement any provision which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions, (iii) shorten or lengthen any time period (including the redemption period prior to the Rights becoming non-redeemable) or (iv) change or supplement the provisions in any manner which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights Certificates. The Rights Agreement, however, may not be amended pursuant to clause (iii) to lengthen (a) the redemption period at such time as the Rights are no longer redeemable or (b) any other time period unless the purpose of such amendment is to protect, enhance or clarify the rights and/or benefits to the holders of Rights.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may be made to change the Redemption Price, Final Expiration Date, Purchase Price or the number of Common Shares for which a Right is exercisable, except that, prior to the Distribution Date, the Board may increase the Purchase Price or extend the Final Expiration Date.
