of the Company within the meaning of this Section).

most recent acquisition by such Person, of assets from the Company that have a
total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair
market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such
acquisition(s).  For this purpose, “gross fair market value” means the
value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed
of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such
assets.

the change in control, (y) the Company’s entry into a definitive agreement with
respect to the change in control, and (z) the date the change in control
