The Initial Schedule TO was amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed jointly with the SEC by Crane and Purchaser on May 12, 2003. The information in the Offer to Purchase, as amended, is incorporated in this Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except as such information is amended and/or supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein. Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase. The item numbers and responses thereto included below are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule TO. ITEM 4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION. Item 4 is amended and supplemented by amending and restating in its entirety the third full sentence of the first paragraph on page 10 of the Offer to Purchase as follows: "Subject to applicable rules of the SEC, Purchaser expressly reserves the right to delay acceptance for payment of or payment for Shares in order to comply with any requirement(s) to obtain governmental regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the "HSR Act")." Item 4 is further amended and supplemented by amending and restating in its entirety the last full paragraph under the heading "14. Certain Conditions of the Offer" on page 42 of the Offer to Purchase as follows: "The foregoing conditions (including those set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the initial paragraph of this Section 14) are for the sole benefit of Crane and Purchaser and may be asserted by Crane or Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such conditions and may be waived (if permissible) by Crane and Purchaser, by express and specific action to that effect, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date in their sole discretion, in each case, subject to any applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement. Neither Crane nor Purchaser may waive any condition requiring the obtaining of approval of a Governmental Authority, including that required under the HSR Act. The failure of Crane or Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right, which may be asserted at any time and from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date."
