The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition or may be waived by us in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in our sole discretion. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of the respective right and each of these rights shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time. If we determine in our reasonable discretion that any of the conditions are not satisfied, we may (1) refuse to accept shares of Preferred Stock and return all tendered shares to the tendering holders, (2) extend the Exchange Offer and retain all shares of Preferred Stock tendered prior to the Expiration of the Exchange Offer, subject, however, to the rights of holders to withdraw their tendered shares (see "-- Withdrawal of Tenders") or (3) waive the unsatisfied conditions with respect to the Exchange Offer and accept all properly tendered shares of Preferred Stock which have not been withdrawn. If such waiver constitutes a material change to the Exchange Offer, we will promptly disclose this waiver by means of an Offer to Exchange supplement that will be distributed to the record holders of Preferred Stock. We will also extend the Exchange Offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the waiver and the manner of disclosure to the record holders, if the Exchange Offer would otherwise expire during such five to ten business day period." 2 3 The Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer is: THE BANK OF NEW YORK By Mail: By Facsimile Transmission: by Hand or Overnight Courier: Tender & Exchange Department (For eligible Institutions Tender & Exchange Department P.O. 11248 only) 101 Barclay Street Church Street Station (212) 815-6213 Receive & Deliver Window New York, NY 10286-1248 New York, NY 10286 For Confirmation Telephone: (212) 815-6156
