                    Securities will participate on an equal, per share basis
                    times the number of shares of Equity Securities they held at
                    the time of the Distribution, adjusted for stock splits,
                    stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like; and

               (3)  A Distribution may proceed on lesser terms and conditions

               liquidation, dissolution or other transaction or proceeding with
               a Promoter that results in a Distribution while this Agreement

               will remain subject to the terms of this Agreement.
