WHEREAS, certain of the Investors are purchasing from the Corporation
shares of its Series F Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation and certain of the parties to the Agreement

on the date hereof, wish to amend the Agreement to include such Investors as
further set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. The definition of "Preferred Stock" in Section 1 of the Agreement shall be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
" "Preferred Stock": Collectively, the Series D Preferred Stock of the
---------------
Corporation, the Series E Preferred Stock of the Corporation, and the Series F
Preferred Stock of the Corporation."
2. Section 2.2.1 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
"2.2.1. The Corporation shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in
writing at least 30 days prior to filing any registration statement under the
Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the
Corporation (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to
secondary offerings of securities of the Corporation, but excluding any
registration statement relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate
reorganization) other than in the case of an Initial Public Offering and will
afford each such
Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part
of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to
include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities held by such Holder shall, within 20 days after receipt of the above-
described notice from the Corporation, so notify the Corporation in writing, and
in such notice shall inform the Corporation of the number of Registrable
Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a
Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any
registration statement thereafter filed by the Corporation, such Holder shall
nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in
any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed
by the Corporation with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein."
3. The introductory paragraph of Section 2.3 shall be amended by striking the

solely as reference aids for the ease and convenience of the reader; they shall

more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement
