(a) Stockholder (in Stockholder’s capacity as such) hereby gives any consents or waivers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the Merger under the terms of any contracts to which Stockholder is a party or pursuant to any rights Stockholder may have.

(b) [For stockholder holding warrants to purchase Company Capital Stock] [Each Stockholder is a holder of certain warrants to purchase Company Capital Stock as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Warrants”). Each Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent such Warrant remains unexercised at the time of the closing of the Offer (the “Acceptance Time”), each Warrant shall, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in such Warrants, cease to represent a right to acquire Company Capital Stock and, as of and following the Acceptance Time, the Warrants will be cancelled and no consideration shall be payable by Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or the Surviving Corporation therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, when executed by the Stockholders, this Agreement shall constitute the written consent of each Stockholder to the cancellation of the Warrants as described in this Section 13(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Offer is not consummated, the consent provided in this Section 13(b) shall be void and of no force and effect.]

(c) [For stockholders holding Company’s 2002 7.5% convertible debentures] [Each Stockholder hereby consents to the Offer and the Merger, and forever relinquishes and waives all rights to require the Company to redeem the Company Debentures pursuant to Section 4 thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, when executed by the Stockholders, this Agreement shall constitute the written consent to the Offer contemplated under Section 4(a) of the Company Debentures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Offer is not consummated, the consent provided in this Section 13(c) shall be void and of no force and effect.]

14. Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Stockholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to fulfill Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement. Stockholder, in Stockholder’s capacity as a Company Stockholder, shall at all times publicly support the Offer and the Merger.

6

15. Legending of Shares. If so requested by Parent, Stockholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and the Proxy.

16. Merger Agreement. Stockholder hereby acknowledges receipt of, and has had an opportunity to read and understand and consult with independent counsel concerning, the Merger Agreement (including exhibits and schedules thereto).

17. Termination. This Agreement and the Proxy shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect as of the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Section 17 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall relieve either party hereto from any liability, or otherwise limit the liability of either party hereto, for any breach of this Agreement.

18. Miscellaneous.

(a) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

(c) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

(d) Specific Performance.

7

(e) Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
