                                    RECITALS

     A. The Company proposes to issue $100 million in aggregate principal amount
of 6.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the "NOTES"), convertible into
shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value (the "COMMON STOCK")
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement (the
"PURCHASE AGREEMENT") of even date herewith (the "FINANCING").

     B. Investors are the beneficial owners (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT")) of such number
of shares of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, and such number of
shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
options and warrants, as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.

     C. In consideration of the execution of the Purchase Agreement by the
Company, Investors (in their capacity as such) have agreed to vote the Shares
(as defined below) and over which Investors have voting power, in the manner set
forth below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
herein contained, and other consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. SHARES. During the term of this Agreement, Investors agree to vote all
shares issued upon conversion of the Notes (the "SHARES") in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Shares shall not
include any securities of the Company of which Investors are the beneficial
owners immediately prior to the Closing of the Financing or any securities of
the Company acquired by Investors other than upon conversion of the Notes
subsequent to the date of this Agreement.

     2. VOTING. Until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
Investors agree to vote and cause to be voted all Shares beneficially owned,
either directly or indirectly, by them in a

neutral manner on all matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company for a
vote, whether required by the Company's charter or bylaws, pursuant to Delaware
General Corporate Law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the election
of directors or a Change of Control Transaction (as defined below); provided,
however, that to the extent that the Investors shall beneficially own, in the
aggregate, securities of the Company representing less than forty-one and
six-tenths percent (41.6%) of the then-outstanding voting power of the Company,
then the Investors shall not be required to vote in a neutral manner such number
of the Shares equal to the difference of (i) (x) the number of shares of Common
Stock entitled to vote as of the record date set for any matter submitted for a
vote of stockholders of the Company multiplied by (y) .416, less (ii) the total
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investors in the
aggregate on the record date set for such stockholder vote other than the
Shares. In such instances, each Investor shall be entitled to vote a number of
Shares in a non-neutral manner in direct proportion to such Investors beneficial
ownership of voting securities of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement,
"NEUTRAL MANNER" means in the same proportion to all other outstanding voting
securities of the Company (excluding any and all voting securities beneficially
owned, directly or indirectly, by Investors) that are actually voted on a
proposal submitted to the Company's stockholders for approval. By way of example
only, if 100,000 voting securities that are not beneficially owned by Investors
are cast with 60,000 of such shares voting "For" a proposal, 30,000 of such
shares voting "Against" a proposal, and 10,000 of such shares abstaining,
Investors shall vote sixty percent (60%) of the Shares "For" the proposal,
thirty percent (30%) "Against" the proposal and abstain with respect to ten
percent (10%) of the Shares. The term "vote" shall include any exercise of
voting rights whether at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by
written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

     3. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the
Maturity Date of the Notes; (ii) at such time as no principal amount of the
Notes or any Shares remains outstanding; (iii) a Change of Control Transaction;
or (iv) the mutual agreement of the Company and Investors. "CHANGE OF CONTROL
TRANSACTION" means either (a) the acquisition of the Company by another entity
by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the
Company is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, tender
offer, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any sale of stock
for capital raising purposes) that results in the voting securities of the
Company outstanding immediately prior thereto failing to represent immediately
after such transaction or series of transactions (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity
or the entity that controls such surviving entity) a majority of the total
voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company,
such surviving entity or the entity that controls such surviving entity;
provided, however, that the Financing or conversion of the Notes pursuant to the
terms of the Purchase Agreement shall not constitute a Change of Control
Transaction; or (b) a sale, lease or other conveyance of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company.

     4. ADDITIONAL SHARES. In the event that subsequent to the date of this
Agreement any shares or other securities (other than pursuant to a Change of
Control Transaction) are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the Shares by
reason of any stock dividend, stock split, consolidation of shares,
reclassification or consolidation involving the Company, such shares or
securities shall be deemed to be Shares for purposes of this Agreement.
