-------------------
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of

and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to

determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement
------------
or understanding, whether or not in writing. Without duplicative counting of
the same securities by the same holder, securities Beneficially Owned by a
Person shall include securities Beneficially Owned by all other Persons with
whom such Person would constitute a "group" as within the meanings of Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that shares owned of record by
--------
or in "street name" for any officer, director or stockholder (or member of the
family of any of the foregoing) of the Stockholder shall not be deemed
beneficially owned by the Stockholder.
(b) "Company Common Stock" shall mean at any time the common stock,
-------------------
$.01 par value, of the Company.
(c) "Person" shall mean an individual, corporation, partnership,
------
joint venture, association, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity.
(d) Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
SECTION 2. Tender of Shares.

(a) The Stockholder hereby agrees to validly tender (and not to
withdraw for as long as this Agreement remains in effect) pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of the Offer, (i) not later than the fifth business
day after commencement of the Offer pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Merger
Agreement and Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, all of the shares of Company
Common Stock Beneficially Owned by it on the date hereof (the "Existing
--------
Shares"), and (ii) as soon as possible but in no event later the date on which
------
the Offer is scheduled to expire (including any extensions), any additional
shares of Company Common Stock which the Stockholder comes to Beneficially Own
after the date hereof (the "Additional Shares" and, together with the Existing
-----------------
Shares, the "Shares"). Schedule I hereto sets forth opposite the Stockholder's
------ ----------
name the number of Existing Shares Beneficially Owned by it on the date hereof.
The Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Merger Sub's obligation
to accept for payment and pay for the Shares in the Offer is subject to the
terms and conditions of the Offer.
(b) Upon full payment by Parent or Merger Sub for Shares tendered,
the transfer by the Stockholder of its Shares to Merger Sub in the Offer shall
pass to and unconditionally vest in Merger Sub good and valid title to the
number of Existing Shares set forth opposite the Stockholder's name on Schedule
--------
I hereto and to any Additional Shares, free and clear of all claims, liens,
-
restrictions, security interests, pledges, limitations and encumbrances
whatsoever.
(c) The Stockholder hereby agrees to permit Parent and Merger Sub to
publish and disclose in the Offer Documents and, if Company Stockholder Approval
is required under applicable law, the Proxy Statement (including all documents
and schedules filed with the SEC) its identity and ownership of Company Common
Stock and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
SECTION 3. Provisions Concerning Company Common Stock.
-------------------------------------------
(a) The Stockholder hereby agrees that for long as this Agreement
remains in effect, at any meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock,
however called, or in connection with any written consent of the holders of
Company Common Stock, the Stockholder shall appear at the meeting in person or
by proxy (or execute any written consent of the holders of Company Common Stock)
or otherwise cause the Shares held of record or Beneficially
-2-
Owned by it on the applicable record date to be counted for purposes of
establishing a quorum and vote (or cause to be voted), whether issued,
heretofore owned or hereafter acquired, (i) in favor of the Merger, the
execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the approval
of the terms thereof and each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement and this Agreement and any actions required in furtherance thereof and
hereof; (ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in
any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation
or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or this Agreement; and
(iii) except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by Parent, against the
following actions (other than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement): (A) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or its
subsidiaries; (B) a sale, lease or transfer of a material amount of assets of
the Company or its subsidiaries, or a reorganization, recapitalization,
dissolution or liquidation of the Company or its subsidiaries; (C) (1) any
change in a majority of the persons who constitute the board of directors of the
Company; (2) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any
amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; (3) any other
material change in the Company's corporate structure or business; or (4) any
other action which, in the case of each of the matters referred to in clauses C
(1), (2) or (3), is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede,
interfere with, delay, postpone, or materially adversely affect the Merger and
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement. The
Stockholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any person
or entity the effect of which would be inconsistent or violative of the
provisions and agreements contained in this Section 3.
(b) As security for the Stockholder's obligations under Section 3(a)
hereof, the Stockholder hereby grants to Parent a proxy to vote the
Stockholder's Shares solely as and to the extent set forth in Section 3(a)(i)
through (iii); provided, however, that without limiting the foregoing, in any
--------
such vote or other action pursuant to such proxy, the Parent shall not in any
event have the right (and such proxy shall not confer the right) to vote against
the Merger, to vote to reduce the Offer Consideration or the Merger
Consideration or otherwise modify or amend the Merger Agreement to reduce the
rights or benefits of the Company or any stockholders of the Company (including
the Stockholder) under the Offer or the Merger Agreement or to reduce the
obligations of Parent thereunder; and provided, further, that the proxy granted
-------- -------
pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall irrevocably cease and shall be of no further
force or effect upon (i) any material breach by Parent of any of its obligations
under Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement, (ii) any material violation by Parent
of any of the terms of this Agreement or (iii) the termination of the Merger
Agreement or this Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Stockholder
intends such proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest and will take
such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to
effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously
granted by it with respect to such Shares.
SECTION 4. Option. (a) In order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter
-------
into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder hereby grants to Parent an
irrevocable option (the "Stockholder Option") to purchase one-third (33 1/3%) of
------------------
the Shares Beneficially Owned by the Stockholder as of the date of this
Agreement, rounded down to the nearest whole share (the "Stockholder Option
------------------
Shares") at a purchase price per share equal to the Offer Consideration (the
------
-3-
"Stockholder Option Price"), which Stockholder Option shall be exercisable only
------------------------
if the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(i)
thereof and shall expire if not exercised prior to expiration as provided in

matters, as set forth in the proxy statement/information statement sent to the
Company's stockholders in connection with such Acquisition Proposal.
(b) (i) Beginning on the date the Merger Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(i) thereof (the "Merger Termination Date") and
-----------------------
continuing through the Option Termination Time (as defined in Section 4(f)
hereof), the Stockholder shall provide to Parent within one (1) business day of

--------------
tender offer materials, transmittal letters, solicitations, SEC filings, notices
of stockholder meetings, written consents of stockholders and any other
Communications received by or communicated to Stockholder in connection with any
Acquisition Proposal. Any such Communications shall be governed by the terms of
the Confidentiality Agreement dated August 20, 2001 between the Stockholder and
Parent as supplemented by a letter dated August 16, 2001.
(ii) The Stockholder shall provide or arrange to have provided
to Parent a written report from the Company or the Company's transfer agent,

------------
days preceding the date on which (A) in the case of an Acquisition Proposal
structured as a tender offer, such tender offer is initially scheduled to expire
(in the event that the

initial offering period is extended, the Daily Report shall also be provided for
each business day during which the offering period is so extended) or (B) in the
case of an Acquisition Proposal not structured as a tender offer, the
Stockholder Meeting is scheduled to be held (or if action is being taken by
written consent, the effective date of such written consent) for the purpose of
voting on the Acquisition Proposal and any related matters, which Daily Report
shall contain a detailed presentation of the number and percentage of shares of
Company Common Stock which have been tendered or voted in connection with the

------------
more than eight (8) hours prior to the time at which (A) in the case of an

initially scheduled to expire (in the event the initial offering period is
extended, the Final Report shall also be provided in the preceding time frame
for each date such extension period is scheduled to expire or (B) in the case of
an Acquisition Proposal not structured as a tender offer, the Stockholder
Meeting is scheduled to be held (or if action is being taken by written consent,
the effective date of such written consent) for the purpose of voting on the
Acquisition Proposal and any related matters, which report shall contain a
detailed presentation of the number and percentage of shares of Company Common
Stock which have been tendered or voted in connection with the Acquisition
Proposal (including a breakdown of the number and percentage of shares which

accordance with the information set forth in Section 13(e) hereof.
(v) The Company shall assist the Stockholder in order to
ensure that the Stockholder's obligation to deliver the Weekly Reports, Daily
Reports and Final Report(s) as required under this Section 4(b) is fulfilled.
(vi) The Stockholder shall not, from the Merger Termination
Date through and including the Option Termination Date (A) tender or agree to
tender any of the Stockholder Option Shares to any third party (other than
Parent, Merger Sub or their respective assignees) or (B) in connection with any
Acquisition Proposal, vote, agree to vote, grant any proxy or power of attorney
to vote, deposit into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with
respect to any Stockholder Option Shares except for, with, by or on behalf of
Parent, Merger Sub or their respective assignees as provided in this Agreement
unless the Stockholder has first complied
-5-
with the provisions of this Section 4 and Parent has allowed the option to
expire without delivering a Stockholder Exercise Notice (as defined below).
(c)(i) In the event Parent desires to exercise the Stockholder Option
on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4, it shall deliver to the
Stockholder and the Company a written notice (such notice being herein referred
to as the "Stockholder Exercise Notice" and the date of issuance of the
---------------------------
Stockholder Exercise Notice being herein referred to as the "Stockholder Notice
------------------
Date") specifying (i) the total number of Stockholder Option Shares it desires
----
to purchase pursuant to such exercise and (ii) the Instructions described in
Section 4(c)(ii) hereof. If the purchase and sale pursuant to the Stockholder
Option cannot be consummated, by reason of any applicable decree, injunction or
order, then, to the extent such decree, injunction or order is temporary or
appealable, until such restriction on consummation has expired or been
terminated, the Stockholder (A) shall not tender or agree to tender any of the
Shares to any third party (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective
assignees), (B) shall withdraw any previously tendered Shares, (C) shall not, in
connection with any Acquisition Proposal, vote, agree to vote, grant any proxy
or power of attorney to vote, deposit into a voting trust or enter into a voting
agreement (each, a "Voting Action") with respect to any of the Shares as
-------------
provided in this Agreement, and (D) shall withdraw, revoke or rescind, as the
case may be, any pre-existing Voting Action; provided, without limiting the
--------
foregoing, that the stockholder may comply with any decree, injunction or order
that has become final and non-appealable . Each party hereto agrees not to
directly or indirectly seek any such decree, injunction or order. If, in the
reasonable opinion of Parent, prior notification to or approval of any
regulatory agency is required in connection with such purchase, the Company, the
Stockholder shall comply with each of the foregoing subparagraphs (A) through
(D) until any required notification periods have expired or been terminated or
such approvals have been obtained and any requisite waiting period or periods
shall have passed, and the Stockholder or Parent, as the case may be, shall
promptly file the required notice or application for such approval and shall
expeditiously process the same and the period of time that otherwise would run
pursuant to this sentence shall run instead from the date on which any required
notification periods have expired or been terminated or such approvals have been
obtained and any requisite waiting period or periods shall have passed.
(ii) If the Acquisition Proposal is proposed to be structured
as a tender offer for the Company Common Stock, the Stockholder Exercise Notice
shall contain specific instructions from Parent directing the Stockholder to
either tender or not tender the Stockholder Option Shares to the person or group
making the Acquisition Proposal (the "Tender Instructions"). In the event the
-------------------
Tender Instructions direct the Stockholder to tender the Stockholder Option
Shares in connection with an Acquisition Proposal structured as a tender offer,
the Stockholder shall tender all of the Stockholder Option Shares in a timely
manner and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer and
shall, subject to its receipt of the aggregate Stockholder Option Price, remit
all funds received by it in connection with such tender to Parent within one (1)
business day of receipt thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to a bank account designated by Parent contemporaneously herewith. If the
Acquisition Proposal is not structured as a tender offer, the Stockholder
Exercise Notice shall contain specific instructions (the "Voting Instructions,"
-------------------
and together with the Tender Instructions, the "Instructions") directing the
------------
Stockholder how to vote (for, against or abstain) the Stockholder Option Shares
at any Stockholder Meeting (or in connection with any written consent of the
-6-
holders of the Company's Common Stock) for the purpose of voting on the
Acquisition Proposal and any related matters related to such Acquisition
Proposal. Subject to its receipt of the Stockholder Option Price, the
Stockholder shall, at any Stockholder Meeting, however called, or in connection
with any written consent of the Company's stockholders related to the
Acquisition Proposal, appear at the meeting (or execute any written consent of
the Company's stockholders in connection with the Acquisition Proposal) and
otherwise cause the Stockholder Option Shares to be counted for establishing a
quorum and vote (or cause to be voted) the Stockholder Option Shares in
accordance with the Voting Instructions. The Voting Instructions may be
amended, altered or revoked solely by Parent in writing.
(iii) As security for the Stockholder's obligations under
Section 4(c)(ii) hereof, the Stockholder hereby grants to Parent, effective upon
its receipt of the aggregate Stockholder Option Price a proxy to vote the
Stockholder Option Shares solely as to the matters to be voted upon by the
Company's stockholders at the Stockholder Meeting. The Stockholder intends such
proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest and will take such further
action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the
intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by it
(other than the proxy described in Section 3(b) hereof) with respect to the
Stockholder Option Shares.
(d) Parent shall pay to the Stockholder the aggregate Stockholder
Option Price for the number of Stockholder Option Shares being purchased
pursuant to the exercise of the Stockholder Option in immediately available
funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Stockholder
contemporaneously herewith; provided, that failure or refusal of the Stockholder
--------
to designate such a bank account shall not preclude Parent from exercising the
Stockholder Option by delivering a bank check in the amount of the aggregate
Stockholder Option Price to the Stockholder at the address set forth in Section
13(e) hereof.
(e) Upon the delivery by Parent to the Stockholder of the
Stockholder Exercise Notice, and the tender of the applicable Stockholder Option
Price, Parent shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Stockholder
Option Shares so purchased by Parent, entitled to all rights, benefits and
privileges of a stockholder of the Company as of that date with respect to the
Stockholder Option Shares so purchased by it, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such Stockholder Option Shares shall not then be actually delivered
to Parent or the Stockholder shall have failed or refused to designate the bank
account described in Section 4(d); provided, that Parent shall not be deemed to
--------
be the holder of record with respect to any Stockholder Option Shares which the
Stockholder is required to tender in accordance with the Tender Instructions
delivered by Parent, in which case Parent shall only be entitled to all amounts
received by Stockholder in connection with such tender as set forth in Section
4(c)(ii) hereof. In the event that either (i) the Tender Instructions direct the
Stockholder to not tender the Stockholder Option Shares or any portion thereof
---
in connection with an Acquisition Proposal structured as a tender offer or (ii)
any transaction relating to an Acquisition Proposal not structured as a tender
offer is not expected to be consummated within five (5) business days following
the date of the Stockholder Meeting held (or effective date of the vote by
written consent) for the purpose of voting on such Acquisition Proposal, then
the Stockholder shall, simultaneously with the receipt by it of the aggregate
Stockholder Option Price as provided in Section 4(d) hereof, but in no event
later than five (5) business days following the date of the foregoing
Stockholder Meeting
-7-
(or effective date of the vote by written consent) arrange to have the transfer
agent of the Company deliver (with the cooperation of the Company) to Parent a
new certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Stockholder Option
Shares purchased by Parent to Parent or Parent's designees. The Stockholder
shall pay all expenses that may be payable in connection with the preparation,
issuance and delivery of stock certificates under this Section 4 in the name of
Parent. Parent shall pay all expenses that may be payable in connection with the
issuance and delivery of stock certificates or a substitute option agreement in
the name of any assignee, transferee or designee of Parent.
(f) The Stockholder Option shall terminate, subject in all cases to
compliance with all of the terms and conditions contained in this Section 4,
upon the first to occur of (i) the consummation of the transaction relating to
the Acquisition Proposal which led to the termination of the Merger Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(i) thereof, (ii) in the case of an Acquisition
Proposal structured as a tender offer, the later of the time which is exactly
six (6) hours prior to the time at which the offering period for such tender
offer is scheduled to expire or the time which is exactly six (6) hours prior to
the time at which the last extension period of such tender offer is scheduled to
expire, (iii) in the case of an Acquisition Proposal not structured as a tender
offer, the time which is exactly six (6) hours prior to the time of the
Stockholder Meeting (or, if later, any adjournment thereof) or the signing by
the Stockholder of the action taken by written consent (the Stockholders shall
give Parent at least two business days' advance notice of the day it intends to
sign such written consent) and (iv) the first anniversary of the termination of
the transaction relating to the Acquisition Proposal which led to the
termination of the Merger Agreement (in any case, the "Option Termination
------------------
Time").

termination.
(e) Notices. All notices, claims, demands and other communications
--------

(f) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
-------------
or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such
provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably
to effect the intent of the parties hereto, unless the parties agree to replace
such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and
enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
(g) Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto recognizes and
---------------------
acknowledges that (i) Parent and Merger Sub will be irreparably damaged if for
any reason the Stockholder failed to tender, and not to withdraw, the
Stockholder's Shares in the Offer in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) a
breach by any party of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement,
in each case, will cause the non-breaching parties 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
aggrieved party shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such
covenants and agreements and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition
to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.
(h) 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.
(i) 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
-14-
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.
(j) 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.
(k) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed
--------------
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to
the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
(l) 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 (l) 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.
(m) 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.
(n) 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.
