WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are parties to the Merger Agreement, which provides, among other things, for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement may be terminated, unless extended under certain circumstances as provided in the Merger Agreement, and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by either Parent or the Company if the Merger shall not have been consummated by January 15, 2003 (the “Termination Date”);

WHEREAS, on January 14, 2003, pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement, the Company, by notice to Parent, extended the Termination Date to February 15, 2003;

WHEREAS, Section 9.5 of the Merger Agreement requires that any amendment to the Merger Agreement be in writing and signed on behalf of each of the parties; and

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved and deemed advisable this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
