Pricing


The maximum price to be paid shall be not more than 105% of the average of the middle market quotations for the Company's shares for the five business days before the day on which purchase is made.


Volume


JPM Caz and Citi will have the authority to consider, on each trading day, repurchasing more than 50% of the average daily trading volume of the Company's shares traded over the 20 trading days preceding that date.
