for a shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting. The Agreement contains certain
other provisions with respect to the Issuer, including prohibitions on Pirate
Capital forming or joining a group of other shareholders, effecting or
encouraging a tender offer or business combination (unless it is initiated by a
third party), or taking other specified actions to affect the control of the
