vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such
individual is named as a nominee for director without objection to such
nomination); provided that no CAS Director (as defined in the Settlement) will
become a continuity director by reason of his appointment as a director pursuant
to paragraph 1(b)(ii) of the Settlement or the agreement of the Incumbent
Directors to the Settlement.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment effective the date
