    WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Acquisition Agreement, Parent has requested that the Stockholder, and the Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock now or hereafter held of record or Beneficially Owned (as defined below) by the Stockholder (the "Shares"); and

    WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Acquisition Agreement.

    NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
GRANT OF PROXY; VOTING AGREEMENT; AGREEMENT TO TENDER

    Section 1.01  Voting Agreement.  The Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date hereof and continuing until the first to occur of (a) the Effective Time or (b) termination of the Acquisition Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the holders of Company Common Stock, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) all of the Shares, whether heretofore owned or hereafter acquired and to the extent such Shares may be voted: (i) in favor of approval of the Acquisition Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and other related agreements (or any amended versions thereof) and any actions required in furtherance thereof and hereof; (ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Acquisition Agreement (after giving effect to any materiality or similar qualifications contained therein); and (iii) except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by Parent, against the following actions (other than the Offer, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement): (A) any Acquisition Proposal or any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company, a sale, lease or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company, or a reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company; or (B) (1) any change in a majority of the persons who constitute the board of directors of the Company; (2) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws; (3) any other material change in the Company's corporate structure or business; or (4) any other action which is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or materially and adversely affect the Offer, the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Acquisition Agreement. The Stockholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person (as defined below) the effect of which would be inconsistent or violative of the provisions, and agreements contained in ARTICLE 1, 2 or 3 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, "Beneficially Own," "Beneficially Owned" or "Beneficial Ownership" (or any other derivative of such terms) with respect to

---

any securities shall mean having "beneficial ownership" of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing. Without duplicative counting of the same securities by the same holder, securities Beneficially Owned by a Person shall include securities Beneficially Owned by all other Persons with whom such Person would constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The "Shares" shall include all shares of Company Common Stock held of record or Beneficially Owned by the Stockholder on the Commencement Date or at any other time prior to the termination of this Agreement.

    Section 1.02  Irrevocable Proxy.  The Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to the Shares. By entering into this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby grants a proxy appointing Parent as the Stockholder's attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for and in the Stockholder's name, to vote, express, consent or dissent, or otherwise to utilize such voting power as Parent or its proxy or substitute shall, in Parent's sole discretion, deem proper with respect to the Shares to effect any action contemplated by Section 1.01 above (including the right to sign its name (as stockholder) to any consent, certificate or other document relating to Company that the law of the State of Delaware may permit or require), to the extent, but only to the extent, not voted by the Stockholder in accordance with Section 1.01. The proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to this ARTICLE 1 is irrevocable and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement and incurring certain related fees and expenses, provided, however, that the proxy granted by the Stockholder shall be revoked upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

    Section 1.03  Agreement to Tender.  The Stockholder hereby agrees to tender all of the outstanding Shares within five business days after the commencement of the Offer, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, and agrees that, prior to the termination of the Acquisition Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Stockholder will not withdraw its tender of the Shares. To effect such tender, the Stockholder shall, within such five business day period, (a) deliver to the depositary designated in the Offer: (i) a letter of transmittal with respect to such Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (ii) certificates representing such Shares and (iii) all other documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer, and/or (b) instruct its broker or such other person who is the holder of record of any Shares beneficially owned by the Stockholder to tender such shares for exchange in the Offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer.

    Section 1.04  Termination of Acquisition Agreement.  If a termination fee becomes payable by the Company pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Acquisition Agreement and, in any such case, a transaction contemplated by a Superior Proposal (the "Alternative Transaction") is consummated within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Stockholder shall, within three (3) business days of the Stockholder's receipt of the consideration paid for the Shares in the Alternative Transaction, pay Parent an amount in cash equal to fifty percent (50%) of the excess of (A) the product of (x)(i) the gross amount of any cash, plus the fair market value of any other consideration, actually received by the Stockholder for each such Share in the Alternative Transaction, minus (ii) $7.25 and (y) the number of Shares held of record or Beneficially Owned by the Stockholder at the time the consideration is paid, over (B) the amount of any expenses (which shall not include any Taxes) incurred by the Stockholder directly in connection with the Alternative Transaction.

    Section 5.03  Remedies Cumulative.  All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any of such rights, powers or remedies by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party.

    Section 5.05  Certain Events.  Subject to Section 4.01 hereof, the Stockholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Shares and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal ownership or Beneficial Ownership of the Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, the Stockholder's heirs, guardians, administrators or successors. Notwithstanding any such transfer of Shares, the transferor shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations under this Agreement of the transferor.

    Section 5.11  Antidilution.  In the event that the Company institutes any change in the Company Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, mergers, recapitalizations, combinations, conversions, exchanges of shares or the like, all Shares resulting from such change shall be subject to this Agreement and the prices referred to herein shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect such change.
