SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION RIGHTS PLAN [Abstract]

SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION RIGHTS PLAN

NOTE I – SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION RIGHTS PLAN

On July 18, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Corporation ("Board") renewed the Corporation's Shareholder Protection Rights Plan and declared a distribution of one right ("Right") for each share of the Corporation's common stock ("Common Stock") outstanding on August 1, 2006.

In the absence of an event of the type described below, the Rights will be evidenced by and trade with the Common Stock and will not be exercisable. However, the Rights will separate from the Common Stock and become exercisable following the earlier of (1) the tenth business day, or such later date as the Board may decide, after any person or persons (collectively referred to as "person") commences a tender offer that would result in such person holding a total of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, or (2) ten business days after, or such earlier or later date as the Board may decide, the announcement by the Corporation that any person has acquired 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock.

When separated from the Common Stock, each Right will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for $75 ("Exercise Price"). However, in the event that the Corporation has announced that any person has acquired 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, the Rights owned by that person will be automatically void and each other Right will automatically become a right to buy, for the Exercise Price, that number of shares of Common Stock having a market value of twice the Exercise Price. Also, if any person acquires 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, the Board can require that, in lieu of exercise, each outstanding Right be exchanged for one share of Common Stock.

The Rights may be redeemed by action of the Board at a price of $.01 per Right at any time prior to announcement by the Corporation that any person has acquired 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock. The Exercise Price and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. The Rights expire ten years from the date of their issuance.
