  (v)   any change in the general political, market, economic or financial conditions in the United States or abroad that could, in our reasonable judgment, have a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or other), operations or prospects of our Company or our subsidiaries or on the trading in our common stock or that, in our reasonable judgment, makes it inadvisable to proceed with this offer;

 

  (vi)   in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of this offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof;

 

  (vii)   any decline in either the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the Standard and Poor’s Index of 500 Companies by an amount in excess of 10% measured during any time period after the close of business on January 21, 2003; or

We may waive them, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to the expiration of this offer, in our discretion, whether or not we waive any other condition to this offer. Our failure at any time to exercise any of these rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such rights.

Any determination we make concerning the events described in this section will be final and binding upon all persons.”
