and other matters referred to in the next sentence, any Order or any Law
applicable to the Subject Shares. No consent, approval, order or
authorization (collectively, “Consent”) of, or registration, declaration
or filing with, any Governmental Entity or other Person (including with respect

shareholders, at the time of any amendment or supplement of such documents
and
at the time of the Special Meeting, contain any untrue statement of material

of
this Agreement (including by conversion) or (iii) that such Stockholder

SECTION
4.
Additional Payments.
(a) If
the Merger Agreement is terminated in circumstances under which Parent is
or may
become entitled to a payment under Section 8.2(b) of the Merger Agreement
and
either the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has entered into or enters
into a
definitive agreement with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal or the
transactions contemplated by any Company Takeover Proposal are consummated
within 12 months of such termination, then subject to consummation of such
Company Takeover Proposal (or another Company Takeover Proposal consummated
in
lieu of such Company Takeover Proposal), the Stockholders shall jointly and
severally pay to Parent an amount in cash equal to 50% of the Excess Profit
(as
defined below), if any, of the Stockholders from such consummated Company
Takeover Proposal. Any payment of Excess Profit under this Section
4(a) shall be paid within two Business Days after consummation of the applicable
Company Takeover Proposal by wire transfer of same day funds to an account
designated by Parent to the extent the Stockholder receives cash in an amount
equal to or greater than the Excess Profit from the consummation of such
Company
Takeover Proposal. To the extent the Stockholder does not receive
cash in an amount equal to or greater than the Excess Profit from the
consummation of such Company Takeover Proposal, the Excess Profit paid under
this Section 4(a) shall be paid within five Business Days after consummation
of
such Company Takeover Proposal by wire transfer of same day funds to an account
designated by Parent or within two Business Days of the determination of
Fair
Market Value pursuant to Section 4(c) below, if later.
(b) For
purposes of this Section 4, the “Excess Profit” of any Stockholder from any
Company Takeover Proposal (including as a result of any amendment to the
Merger
Agreement) shall equal, if positive, the product of (i)(A) the aggregate
consideration received by such Stockholder pursuant to such Company Takeover
Proposal, valuing any non-cash consideration (including any residual interest
in
the Company or its Subsidiaries retained immediately following consummation
of
such Company Takeover Proposal) at its Fair Market Value (as defined below)
on
the date of such consummation, minus (B) $24.00, and (ii) the number of Subject
Shares set forth opposite such Stockholder's name on Schedule A hereto plus
the
number of New Shares.
(c) For
purposes of this Section 4, the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration
consisting of:
(i) securities
listed or quoted on a national or international securities exchange or quotation
system shall be equal to the average closing price per share of such security
as
reported on such exchange for the five trading days prior to the date of
determination; and
(ii) consideration
which is other than securities of the form specified in clause (i) above
shall
be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm
mutually agreed upon by the parties within five Business Days of the event
requiring selection of such banking firm; provided, however, that if the
parties
are unable to agree within five Business Days after the date of such event
as to
the investment banking firm, then the parties shall each select one firm,
and
those firms shall within five Business Days select a third investment banking
firm, which third firm shall make such determination, provided further, that
the
reasonable and customary fees and expenses of all such investment banking
firms
shall be borne equally by Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholders,
on the
other hand. The determination of the Fair Market Value of any
non-cash consideration by the investment banking firm shall be binding upon
the
parties.

(c) Other
Definitional and Interpretative Provisions. The words “hereof,”
“herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall
refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of
this
Agreement. Terms defined in the singular in this Agreement shall also
include the plural and vice versa. The captions and headings herein
are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the
construction or interpretation hereof. References to Articles,
Sections, Exhibits and Schedules are to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and
Schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Whenever the
words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they
shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or not
they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import. The
phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and phrases of similar
import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to
the
date set forth in the Preamble. The word “extent” in the phrase “to
the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and
such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The word “will” shall be
construed to have the same meaning as the word “shall”. The term “or”
is not exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden
of
proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(d) Severability. Any
term or provision of this Agreement that is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, void or unenforceable
in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or
the
validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other
situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity declares that
any
term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, void or unenforceable, the
parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect
the original intent of the parties as closely as possible and the parties
agree
that the court asking such determination shall have the power to reduce the
scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete
specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable
term
or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that
comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable
term
or provision.
(e) Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will
be
deemed an original but all of which will constitute one instrument.
7
(f) Entire

(including the schedules and annexes to this Agreement) constitutes the entire
agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written
and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement. Nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or

under or by reason of this Agreement.

this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this
