to any securities shall mean having "beneficial ownership" of such securities
(as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (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

2. Tender of Shares.
(a) In order to induce Parent and the Purchaser to enter into
the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder hereby agrees to validly tender (or cause
the record owner of such shares to validly tender), and not to withdraw,
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, not later than the
fifth business day after commencement of the Offer pursuant to Section 1.1 of
the Merger Agreement and Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the number of
shares of Company Common Stock set forth opposite such Stockholder's name on
Schedule I hereto (the "Existing Shares", and together with any shares acquired
by such Stockholder in any capacity after the date hereof and prior to the
termination of this Agreement whether upon the exercise of Company Options or
by means of purchase, dividend, distribution or otherwise, the "Shares"), all
of which are Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby
acknowledges and agrees that Parent's and the Purchaser's obligation to accept
for payment and pay for the Shares in the Offer, including the Shares
Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder, is subject to the terms and conditions
of the Offer.
(b) The transfer by the Stockholder of the
Shares to Purchaser in the Offer shall pass to and uncon-
2
ditionally vest in the Purchaser good and valid title to the Shares, free and
clear of all Encumbrances.
(c) The Stockholder hereby permits Parent and the Purchaser
to publish and disclose in the Offer Documents and, if approval of the
Company's stockholders is required under applicable law, the Proxy Statement
(including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC) his identity and
ownership of the Company Common Stock and the nature of his commitments,
arrangements and understandings under this Agreement.
3. Options.
(a) Exercise of Stock Option. In order to induce Parent and
the Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder hereby grants
to Parent an irrevocable option (a "Stock Option") to purchase such
Stockholder's Shares (the "Option Shares") at an amount (the "Purchase Price")
equal to the Offer Price. If (i) the Offer is terminated, abandoned or
withdrawn by Parent or the Purchaser (whether due to the failure of any of the
conditions thereto or otherwise), other than at a time when Parent or the
Purchaser is in material breach of the terms of the Merger Agreement, or (ii)
the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, other than a
termination pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) or 7.1(c)(iii), each Stock Option
shall, in any such case, become exercisable, in whole but not in part, upon the
first to occur of any such event and remain exercisable in whole until the date
which is 60 days after the date of the occurrence of such event (the "60 Day
Period"), so long as: (i) all waiting periods under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), required for
the purchase of the Option Shares upon such exercise shall have expired or been
waived; (ii) all other applicable consents of any Governmental Entity required
for the purchase or sale of the Option Shares upon such exercise and identified
on Schedule 5(c) attached hereto (if applicable) shall have been granted or
otherwise satisfied; and (iii) there shall not be in effect any preliminary
injunction or other order issued by any Governmental Entity prohibiting the
exercise of the Stock Option pursuant to this Agreement; provided that if (i)
all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been waived, (ii) all
other applicable consents of any Governmental Entity required for the
3
purchase or sale of the Option Shares and identified on Schedule 5(c)
attached hereto (if applicable) shall not have been granted or otherwise
satisfied, or (iii) there shall be in effect any such injunction or order, in
each case on the expiration of the 60 Day Period, the 60 Day Period shall be
extended until 5 business days after the later of (A) the date of expiration or
waiver of all HSR Act waiting periods, (B) the grant or other satisfaction of
such required consents, and (C) the date of removal or lifting of such
injunction or order; provided, however, that in no event shall the Stock Option
be exercisable after the date which is six months after the date on which the
Stock Option first becomes exercisable; provided, further, that the Stock
Option shall terminate if any Governmental Entity shall issue an order, decree
or ruling or take any other action (which order, decree, ruling or other action
the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to lift), which permanently
restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits Parent's exercise of the Stock Option
or the sale of the Option Shares to Parent by the Stockholder. In the event
that Parent wishes to exercise a Stock Option, Parent shall send a written
notice (the "Notice") to the Stockholder identifying the place and date (not
less than two nor more than 10 business days from the date of the Notice) for
the closing of such purchase.
(b) Resale of Option Shares. If, within 12 months following
the acquisition by Parent of the Option Shares, Parent or any of its affiliates
sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any or all of the Option Shares to
any third party (other than to an affiliate of Parent) (a "Subsequent Sale")
and realizes a Profit (as defined below) from such Subsequent Sale, then Parent
shall pay to the Stockholder an amount equal to 95% of the Profit promptly upon
receipt of the proceeds from such Subsequent Sale. For purposes of this Section
3(b), "Profit" shall mean (A) the amount of the excess, if any, of (x) the
aggregate consideration received by Parent or its affiliates in connection with
a Subsequent Sale over (y) the product of (i) the number of Shares sold,
transferred or disposed of multiplied by (ii) the Purchase Price less (B) any
taxes or any other payment of any nature due or payable by Parent with respect
to the amount specified in clause (A), other than Parent's or the Purchaser's
expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the Merger
4
Agreement. In the event the consideration received by Parent in a Subsequent
Sale is other than cash, the Stockholder shall be entitled to the same form of
consideration as received by Parent in such Subsequent Sale or, at Parent's
election, an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such other
consideration that the Stockholder would have been entitled to pursuant to this
Section 3(b).
4. Additional Agreements.
(a) Voting Agreement. The Stockholder shall, 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, vote (or cause to
be voted) the Shares (if any) then held of record or Beneficially Owned by such
Stockholder, (i) in favor of the Merger, the execution and delivery by the
Company of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the terms thereof and each
of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement
and any actions required in furtherance thereof and hereof; and (ii) against
any Acquisition Proposal and against any action or agreement that would impede,
frustrate, prevent or nullify this Agreement, or result in a breach in any
respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or
agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or which would result in
any of the conditions set forth in Annex A to the Merger Agreement or set forth
in Article VI of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled.
(b) No Inconsistent Arrangements. The Stockholder hereby
covenants and agrees that, except as contemplated by this Agreement and the
Merger Agreement, it shall not (i) transfer (which term shall include, without
limitation, any sale, gift, pledge or other disposition), or consent to any
transfer of, any or all of such Stockholder's Shares, Company Options or any
interest therein, (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement or
understanding with respect to any transfer of any or all of such Shares,
Company Options or any interest therein, (iii) grant any proxy,

Company Options, (iv) deposit such Shares or Company Options into a voting
trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such
Shares or Compa-

or interfere with the performance of its obligations hereunder or the
transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement.
(c) Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of
Proxy.
(i) The Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and
appoints, Parent and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, or either of them,
in their respective capacities as officers of Parent, and any individual who
shall hereafter succeed to any such office of Parent, and each of them
individually, such Stockholder's proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of
substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Stockholder, to
vote such Stockholder's Shares, or grant a consent or approval in respect of
the Shares in favor of the various transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement (the "Transactions") and against any Acquisition Proposal.
(ii) The Stockholder represents that any proxies heretofore
given in respect of such Stockholder's Shares are not irrevocable, and that any
such proxies are hereby revoked.
(iii) The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that
Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such
Stockholder's execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Stockholder hereby
affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 4(c) is given in
connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such
irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such
Stockholder under this Agreement. The Stockholder hereby further affirms that
the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no
circumstances be revoked. The Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that
such irrevocable proxy may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
Such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance
with the provisions of Section 212(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

agrees, in its or his capacity as a stockholder of the Company, that neither
such Stockholder nor any of its
6
Subsidiaries or affiliates shall (and such Stockholder shall use its best
efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents,

not to), directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, participate in or initiate
discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any
corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group (other than Parent,
any of its affiliates or representatives) concerning any Acquisition Proposal.
The Stockholder will immediately cease any existing activities, discussions or
negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any
Acquisition Proposal. The Stockholder will immediately communicate to Parent
the terms of any proposal, discussion, negotiation or inquiry such Stockholder,
in its or his capacity as a stockholder of the Company, receives (and will

Company, consent to the cancellation or substitution of his Company Options in
accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and shall execute all
appropriate documentation in connection with such cancellation or substitution.

conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its best

of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver
by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy
or to demand such compliance.
