Additional Agreements
2.1 Standstill. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
without the written consent of the Company, neither Purchaser nor any business
entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls
or is controlled by, or is under common control with, Purchaser (its
"Affiliates") will acquire beneficial ownership (which term shall include for
the purposes of this Agreement, without limitation, direct or indirect ownership
or any direct or indirect ability to influence voting in any manner, singly or
as part of a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other "Group"
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of any securities of the Company entitled to
vote with respect to the election of any directors of the Company ("Voting
Securities"), any security convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for
or that may become any Voting Securities or any other right to acquire Voting
Securities, other than the Shares, the Additional Shares, the Option Shares or
shares of the Company's capital stock issuable in respect thereof, including as
a result of a dividend, subdivision, split, reclassification, consolidation of
shares or the like.
2.2 Acts in Concert with Others; Agreement not to Control. Neither
Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall join a partnership, limited partnership,
syndicate or other group, or otherwise act in concert with any third person, for
the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of Voting Securities.
2.3 Restriction on Transfer of Voting Securities. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions
of Section 2.4), neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall dispose of
beneficial
4
ownership or voting control of any of the Shares or any right thereto (or any
securities issuable in respect thereof) ("Transfer"), except as follows: (i)
375,000 Shares may be Transferred commencing on the date the Company receives

Option Shares in the preceding sentence shall be adjusted, as appropriate, so
that the adjusted number of such shares shall be the substantial equivalent of
the number of such Shares, Additional Shares or Option Shares prior to such
change.
2.4 Right of First Refusal. If Purchaser or any of its Affiliates
desires to dispose of beneficial ownership of any or all of the Voting
Securities beneficially owned by Purchaser or such Affiliate (the "Offered
Stock"), Purchaser or such Affiliate shall first give written notice (a
"Transfer Notice") thereof to the Company, identifying whether the transaction
will occur on the open market or as a private transaction and the number of
Voting Securities sought to be transferred. If the transaction is to be a
private transaction, the Transfer Notice shall also identify the proposed
transferee, the proposed purchase price (the "Offered Price"), if applicable,
the terms of the proposed transaction including the proposed transaction date
and a copy of any written offer or other writing setting forth the terms and
conditions of the proposed transaction. Such Transfer Notice shall constitute an
irrevocable offer by Purchaser or such Affiliate to sell all of the Offered
Stock to the Company at the market price at the close of trading on the day the
offer is accepted in writing by the Company or, if a private transaction is
proposed, at the Offered Price and upon the same terms and conditions as
Purchaser or such Affiliate is willing to dispose the Offered Stock to the
proposed transferee. If a private transaction is proposed, to the extent the
consideration proposed to be paid by the proposed transferee consists of
property other than cash, the reasonable cash equivalent of such property, and
the manner of determining the same, shall be stated in such Transfer Notice.
Once given, a Transfer Notice may not be modified or amended except with the
written consent of the Company. Within the five (5) business day period, or if a
private transaction is proposed within the twenty-one (21) day period, following
the giving of the Transfer Notice (the "Offer Period"), the Company may elect,
by giving written notice of such election to
5
Purchaser or such Affiliate, to purchase all but not less than all of the
Offered Stock. If the Company does not elect, by notice in writing given to
Purchaser or such Affiliate within the Offer Period, to purchase all (but not
less than all) of the Offered Stock, then Purchaser or such Affiliate shall be
free to dispose of all of the Offered Stock, if on the open market, within 180
days of the end of the Offer Period, or, if a private transaction is proposed,
within 90 days of the end of the Offer Period to the original proposed
transferee at a price not lower than the Offered Price and upon the terms
stipulated in the Transfer Notice in all material respects. If such Offered
Stock is not so disposed of by Purchaser or such Affiliate within such 180 or 90
day period, Purchaser or such Affiliate shall continue to hold the Voting
Securities subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and may
not sell any Voting Securities without again complying with all of the
provisions hereof.
2.5 Approvals and Consents; Cooperation.
(a) The Company and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other
and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective
commercially reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions,
and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable under this
Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the sale of the

federal or state securities laws or the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act") applicable to or necessary for, and will
file as soon as reasonably practicable and, if appropriate, use commercially
reasonable efforts to have declared effective or approved, all documents and

governmental or regulatory bodies that they deem necessary or appropriate for,
the consummation of the Sale or any of the other transactions contemplated
hereby and each party shall give the other information reasonably requested by

and the Option Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued,
7
sold and delivered in accordance with this Agreement for the consideration

in good standing as a foreign corporation or limited liability company in each
jurisdiction (where such concept is recognized) where the ownership or operation
of its properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except

consummation of the Sale, to conduct any
8
material business or operations in any jurisdiction where they are now being

("Governmental Entity"), in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Sale and the
other transactions contemplated hereby, except those that the failure to make or

Company Material Adverse Effect or prevent, materially delay or materially
impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
3.7 Company Reports; Financial Statements. The Company and, to the
extent applicable, each of its then or current Subsidiaries has made all filings

and schedules) presents fairly, or will present fairly, the financial position
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the statements of

its properties are bound, or (c) any material contract to which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or its or any of their respective properties are bound or affected,
except for any such material defaults or violations that, individually or in the
aggregate, will not have a Company Material Adverse Effect, or prevent or
materially delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No material
change is required in the Company's processes, properties or procedures in order

Adverse Effect.
