transferred, exchanged, canceled or disposed of in connection with or as a
result of any Acquisition Proposal that is in existence on or that otherwise

such Alternative Disposition, the Stockholder shall tender and pay to, or shall
cause to be tendered and paid to, the Parent, or its designee, in immediately
available funds, 100% of the Profit realized from such Alternative Disposition.

Alternative Disposition or any agreements or arrangements (including without
limitation any employment agreement (except a bonafide employment agreement
pursuant to which the Stockholder is required to devote, and under which
Stockholder in good faith intends to devote, substantially all of his business
time and effort to the performance of executive services for the Company in a
manner substantially similar to Stockholder's current employment arrangements
with the Company), consulting agreement, non-competition agreement,
confidentiality agreement, settlement agreement or release agreement) entered
into, directly or indirectly, by the Stockholder or his Affiliates (excluding
officers and
3
directors of the Company and excluding any Affiliate of Stockholder which is a
party to a Stockholder Agreement (an "Affiliate SA") of even date herewith with
Parent, Sub and the Company in substantially the same form as this Agreement
and which obligates such Affiliate to deliver to Parent any Profit recovered by
such Affiliate as a stockholder of the Company (an "Obligated Affiliate")) as a
part of or in connection with the Alternative Disposition or associated
Acquisition Proposal. As used in this Agreement, "Current Transaction
Consideration" shall mean the sum of (x) all amounts to be received, directly
or indirectly, by Stockholder and his Affiliates (excluding officers and
directors of the Company and excluding any Obligated Affiliate of Stockholder)

conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock listed in Part I of
Schedule B hereto into shares of Class A Common Stock or any other shares of
capital stock of the Company for or into which shares of Series B Preferred
Stock may be exchanged or converted), (y) all amounts, if any, to be received
by Stockholder (including the amount of indebtedness owed by Stockholder
forgiven) pursuant to the Termination Agreement (as in effect on the date

all non-cash items shall be valued based upon the fair market value thereof as
determined by an independent expert selected by Parent and who is reasonably
acceptable to Stockholder, (ii) all deferred payments or consideration shall be
discounted to reflect a market rate of net present value thereof as determined
by the above-referenced independent expert, (iii) all contingent payments will
be assumed to have been paid and (iv) if less than all of the Stockholder's
Shares are subject to the Alternative Disposition or Second Transaction then
the Current Transaction Consideration shall be deemed to be an amount equal to
the Current Transaction Consideration multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of the Stockholder's Shares sold, transferred,
exchanged, canceled or disposed of in such Alternative Disposition or Second
Transaction and the denominator of which is the total number of the
Stockholder's Shares. In the event any contingent payments included in the
determination of Profits ultimately are not paid pursuant to an Alternative
Disposition, then Parent shall reimburse Stockholder for any amounts paid to
Parent hereunder in respect of such uncollected contingent payments promptly
after receipt of written notice of such non payment.
(c) Except for an increase made pursuant to Section 5.07 of the
Merger Agreement, in the event that after the date of this Agreement, the
amount of either the Common Stock Merger Consideration, the Mandatory Preferred
Merger Consideration, the consideration paid for the Series B Preferred Stock
or the consideration payable in respect of the Warrants, Options or SARs as
currently provided for in the Merger Agreement is increased (a "Second
Transaction"), then, as may be requested by Parent, (i) Stockholder shall, and
shall cause each of its Affiliates who Beneficially Own any of the
Stockholder's Shares to, either execute and deliver to Parent such documents or
instruments as may be necessary to waive the right to receive the amount of
such increase to the extent that such increase results in any Profit or (ii)
Stockholder shall tender and pay, or cause to be tendered and paid, to Parent,
or its designee, in immediately available funds 100% of the Profit realized
from such Second Transaction. As used in this Section 3(c), "Profit" shall mean
4
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (y) the Second Transaction
Consideration over (z) the Current Transaction Consideration. As used in this
Agreement, "Second Transaction Consideration" shall mean all cash, securities,
settlement or termination amounts, notes or other debt instruments, and other
consideration received or to be received, directly or indirectly, by the
Stockholder and his Affiliates (excluding officers and directors of the Company
and excluding any Affiliate of Stockholder which is a party to a Stockholder
Agreement of even date herewith with Parent, Sub and the Company in
substantially the same form as this Agreement and which obligates such
Affiliate to deliver to Parent any Profit recovered by such Affiliate as a
stockholder of the Company) in connection with or as a result of the Second
Transaction or any agreements or arrangements (including, without limitation,
any employment agreement (except a bonafide employment agreement pursuant to
which the Stockholder is required to devote, and under which Stockholder in
good faith intends to devote, substantially all of his business time and effort
to the performance of executive services for the Company in a manner
substantially similar to Stockholder's current employment arrangements with the
Company), consulting agreement, non-competition agreement, confidentiality
agreement, settlement agreement or release agreement) entered into, directly or
indirectly, by the Stockholder or his Affiliates (excluding officers and
directors of the Company) with the Company as a part of or in connection with
the Second Transaction.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Section 3,
Profit recovered by any Affiliate of Stockholder (other than an Obligated
Affiliate) which also is an Affiliate of an Obligated Affiliate of Stockholder
(a "Dual Affiliate") shall be taken into account only once, and shall not be
duplicated, in calculating Profit in this Section 3 and in Section 3 (or any
analogous section) in any Affiliate SA; and, absent any agreement among
Stockholder and any Obligated Affiliate, any Profit attributed to a Dual
Affiliate shall be allocated among Stockholder and all Obligated Affiliates of
such Dual Affiliate pro rata based on the total Profit, excluding Profit
attributable to the Dual Affiliate, of Stockholder and each other Obligated
Affiliate.

(d) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of
any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law but if any provision or portion of any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision
or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been
contained herein.
(e) Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto recognizes and
acknowledges that a breach by the Stockholder of any covenants or agreements
contained in this Agreement will cause the Parent and Sub to sustain damages
for which they would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and
therefore each of the parties hereto agrees that in the event of any such
breach the Parent or Sub shall be entitled to the remedy of specific
performance of such covenants and agreements and injunctive and other equitable
relief, without the necessity of posting bond or proving actual damages, in
addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in
equity.
(f) 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 thereof
by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other
such right, power or remedy by such party.
(g) No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any
right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in
respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other
party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice 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.
12
(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to
be for the benefit of, and shall not be enforceable by, any person or entity
who or which is not a party hereto; provided that, in the event of the
Stockholder's death, the benefits and obligations of the Stockholder hereunder
shall inure to and be binding upon his successors, heirs, legal
representatives, administrators and executors.
(i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving
effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
(j) Jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware in any
action, suit or proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement, and
agrees that any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought only in such
court (and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or any other
objection to venue therein); provided, however, that such consent to
jurisdiction is solely for the purpose referred to in this paragraph and shall
not be deemed to be a general submission to the jurisdiction of said Court or
in the State of Delaware other than for such purposes. Each party hereto hereby
waives any right to a trial by jury in connection with any such action, suit or
proceeding.
(k) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings used herein are
inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of
or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, taken
together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement shall not
be effective as to any party hereto until such time as this Agreement or a
counterpart thereof has been executed and delivered by each party hereto.
(m) Trust Funds. In the event that any party hereto should receive
any funds that are to be paid to another party pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, then the receiving party shall hold such funds in trust for the
benefit of the party entitled to receive such funds and shall promptly pay such
funds to the party entitled to receive such funds in accordance with this
Agreement.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate without any further
action on the part of any party hereto upon the occurrence of a termination of
the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(a), Sections 7.01(b)(ii),
7.01(b)(iii) or 7.01(b)(iv) thereof in respect of which the Company is entitled
to request a release of the Letter of Credit, Sections 7.01(b)(v), 7.01(b)(vi),
7.01(c) or 7.01(f). Upon such termination, this Agreement shall forthwith
become void and of no further force or effect.
