> > foregoing, any of the Company, the Purchaser or the Seller may terminate
> > this Reinstatement Agreement if the Merger Closing does not occur on or
> > before August 7, 2003 by delivering notice of cancellation following such
> > date, so long as such notice of cancellation is delivered prior to the
> > delivery of the Closing Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
> > that an appeal or notice of objection to the above referenced order (or
> > otherwise related to the Action) is filed with the court or other applicable
> > authority, any party hereto may terminate this Reinstatement Agreement.
> > Additionally, in the event that a stockholder (or representative thereof)
> > timely objects to the settlement of the Action set forth in the related
> > Notice of Settlement and complies with the requirements of such Notice of
> > Settlement, and said objection is not withdrawn, any party hereto may extend
> > the date of Closing to seven (7) calendar days following the end of the
> > Appeal Period, it being understood that any extension pursuant to this
> > sentence shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any extension
> > permitted pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 7."
