In connection with the sale of the Offering Shares and the
repurchase of Repurchase Shares, each Selling Stockholder has submitted to you a
certificate representing a number of shares greater than the aggregate number of
Offering Shares and Repurchase Shares to be sold by each such Selling
Stockholder (such difference, the "Excess Shares"). The number of Offering
Shares, Repurchase Shares and Excess Shares with respect to each Selling
Stockholder are set forth in the table attached as Schedule A hereto.
Of the aggregate 9,137,385 shares of Common Stock you have
received from the Selling Stockholders, you are hereby instructed with respect
to such shares as follows.
1. OFFERING SHARES. You are hereby authorized to cause
certificate(s) evidencing 5,800,000 shares of Common Stock, representing the
aggregate Offering Shares of the Selling Stockholders, to be issued,
countersigned and registered in accordance with the instructions of CSFB, on
behalf of itself and the other Underwriters and Managers. These certificate(s)
should be issued without any restrictive legend.
2. REPURCHASE SHARES. You are hereby authorized to register
in the name of the Company 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock, representing the
aggregate Repurchase Shares of the Selling Stockholders, and treat such shares
as treasury shares.
3. OVER-ALLOTMENT SHARES AND EXCESS SHARES. You are hereby
authorized to cause three certificates evidencing 1,498,728, 373,253 and 145,404
shares of Common Stock, respectively, representing the aggregate Over-Allotment
Shares and Excess Shares of each of BCP, BOCP and BFIP, to be issued,
countersigned and registered in the names of BCP, BOCP and BFIP, respectively.
These certificates should be issued with the following restrictive legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT
(THE "ACT") OF 1933 AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED PURSUANT
THERETO WHILE SUCH REGISTRATION IS EFFECTIVE. IF

REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED UNLESS THEY ARE SUBSEQUENTLY REGISTERED
PURSUANT TO THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM IS
AVAILABLE.
Should any questions arise, please contact me immediately for
instructions.
Very truly yours,
