any equity interest in, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or any
merger, consolidation, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization or
similar transaction involving the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (each
a "Competing Transaction"), or participate in any discussions or negotiations
----------------------
regarding, or furnish to any other person any information with respect to, or
otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or

from furnishing information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations
with, any person (other than Parent and Purchaser) in connection with an
unsolicited proposal involving a fully-financed Competing Transaction which is
made in writing by such person (other than Parent and Purchaser) and which, if
consummated, would provide consideration per share of Common Stock to the
shareholders of the Company in excess of the Offer Price if, and only to the
extent that, the Board determines in good faith, based upon the written advice
of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx, that such action is required for the Board
to comply with its fiduciary duties to shareholders under Michigan law.

breach of this Agreement. By seeking or obtaining such relief, the aggrieved
party will not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which
it may be entitled.

ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of
this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be
interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and assigns of
the undersigned (including any transferee of any of the Shares).

any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this proxy is so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is
