RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

dated as of the date hereof by and among Parent, Fred Merger Corp., a Delaware

corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and the

Company (such agreement as it may be amended, is hereinafter referred to as the

"Merger Agreement"), Parent has agreed to acquire the outstanding securities of

the Company pursuant to a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the

"Merger") in which each outstanding share of Company Common Stock will be

converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration as set forth in the

Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholders

is a condition to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Shares.

1.1 Ownership of Shares. Each Stockholder represents and warrants

to Parent that: (i) in the case of TI, such Stockholder is, and in the case of

the Fursa Managed Accounts, the Stockholders included therein in the aggregate

are, (and will be until the Expiration Date, unless Transferred (as defined

below) pursuant to Section 1.3), the registered and beneficial owner(s) of such

number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as is indicated

on Schedule 1 hereto (the "Shares") with full and sole power to vote or direct

the voting of all Shares; (ii) the Shares constitute such Stockholder's entire

interest in the outstanding capital stock and voting securities of the Company;

and (iii) the Shares are held by such Stockholder free and clear of any Liens. A

Person shall be deemed to have effected a "Transfer" of a security if such

Person directly or indirectly (i) sells, pledges, encumbers, grants an option

with respect to, transfers or otherwise disposes of such security or any

interest therein (including any voting interest), or (ii) enters into an

agreement or commitment providing for the sale of, pledge of, encumbrance of,

grant of an option with respect to, transfer of or disposition of such security

or any interest therein. As used herein, the term "Expiration Date" shall mean

Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

1.3 No Transfers of Shares. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that,

at all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of

Agreement, such Stockholder shall not cause or permit any Transfer of any of the

Transfer of any of the Shares without the prior written consent of Parent's

independent directors, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to

Section 10.2, a Stockholder shall not be restricted from effecting a Transfer of

any Shares to any member of such Stockholder's immediate family, to a trust for

the benefit of such Stockholder and/or any member of the Stockholder's immediate

family, any of such Stockholder's Affiliates or any other person managed fund or

managed client account over which such Stockholder exercises investment

authority, including without limitation, with respect voting and dispositive

rights. For purposes of this Agreement, "immediate family" means the

Stockholder's spouse, parents, siblings, children or grandchildren.

1.4 No Transfer of Voting Rights. Each Stockholder hereby agrees

that, at all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement

until the Expiration Date, such Stockholder shall not deposit, or permit the

Shares, or enter into any voting agreement or similar arrangement or commitment

with respect to any of the Shares (other than, in each case, this Agreement).

2. No Solicitation. During the period from the date of this Agreement

through the Expiration Date the Stockholders shall not, and shall not direct,

by the Stockholders or any Representatives with respect to any Company

Acquisition Proposal.

Agreement, such Stockholder will receive as Merger Consideration, the Effective

Time Shares and the Company Supplemental Distribution Shares (together with cash

shall be entitled to rely on any and all actions of the remaining Company

Stockholder Representative, until such time as they receive notice of the
