RECITALS
A. Parent, Coho Acquisition Corp., ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware Corporation

Agreement and Plan Merger of even date herewith (the "Merger Agreement")
providing for a business combination between Parent and the Company.
B. As of the date of this Agreement, the Stockholder owns beneficially and
of record the Common Stock of the Company ("Company Common Stock") set forth
opposite its name on Schedule A (the Company Common Stock and Stock Options (as
defined below) owned by the Stockholder are referred to herein as such
Stockholder's "Owned Stock"). Schedule A also sets forth the number of options
and/or warrants (the "Stock Options") to purchase Company Common Stock held by
the Stockholder.
C. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the
Stockholder will receive shares ("Parent Shares") of the Parent's common stock,
par value $0.01 per share ("Parent Common Stock") in exchange for the Shares (as
defined in Section 1) held by it at the Effective Time.
D. As an inducement and a condition to Parent's willingness to enter into
the Merger Agreement, Parent, the Company and the Stockholder are entering into
this Agreement.
E. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth
in the Merger Agreement.
F. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement are being entered into
simultaneously.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution and delivery by Parent
of the Merger Agreement and the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements
contained herein and therein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties agree as follows:
1. Voting Agreement. The Stockholder agrees that, during the time
this Agreement is in effect, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company
(a "Company Stockholders' Meeting"), however called, and at every adjournment or
postponement thereof, he, she or it shall (i) appear at the meeting or otherwise
cause his, her or its Owned Stock, together with any Company Common Stock
acquired by the Stockholder after the date of this Agreement whether upon the
exercise of Stock Options or otherwise (the Stockholder's acquired shares,
together with the Stockholder's Owned Stock, are referred to herein as the
Stockholder's "Shares"), to be counted as present thereat for purposes of
establishing a quorum, (ii) vote, or execute consents in respect of, his, her or
its Shares, or cause his, her or its Shares to be voted, or
2
consents to be executed in respect thereof, in favor of the approval and
adoption of the Merger Agreement (including any revised or amended Merger
Agreement which is more favorable to the Stockholder from a financial point of
view), and any action required in furtherance thereof and (iii) vote, or execute
consents in respect of, his, her or its Shares, or cause his, her or its Shares
to be voted, or consents to be executed in respect thereof, against (A) any
agreement or transaction relating to any Takeover Proposal or transaction or
occurrence that if proposed and offered to the Company or its stockholders (or
any of them) would constitute a Takeover Proposal (collectively, "Alternative
Transactions") or (B) any amendment of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws or other proposal, action or transaction involving the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its stockholders, which amendment
or other proposal, action or transaction could reasonably be expected to prevent
or materially impede or delay the consummation of the Merger or the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or change in any manner the voting
rights of the Company Common Stock (collectively, "Frustrating Transactions")
presented to the Stockholders of the Company (regardless of any recommendation
of the Board of Directors of the Company) or in respect of which vote or consent
of the Stockholder is requested or sought. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Stockholder be required to
exercise any options, warrants or other common equivalents held by the
Stockholder in order to satisfy any obligation under this Agreement.
2. Irrevocable Proxy. As security for the Stockholder's obligations
under Section 1, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
Parent as his, her or its attorney and proxy in accordance with Delaware General
Corporation Law, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to cause
the Stockholder's shares to be counted as present at any Company Stockholders
Meetings to vote his, her or its Shares at any Company Stockholders' Meeting,
however called, and execute consents in respect of his, her or its shares as and
to the extent provided in Section 1. THIS PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY IS
IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST. The Stockholder hereby revokes all
other proxies and powers of attorney with respect to his, her or its Shares that
he, she or it may have heretofore appointed or granted, and no subsequent proxy
or power of attorney shall be granted, in each case to the extent such prior or
subsequent proxies or powers of attorney would prevent the Stockholder from
complying with such Stockholder's obligations under this Agreement.
3. Option.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
the Stockholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "Option") to
purchase (i) the number of Shares set forth next to the Stockholder's name on
Schedule A hereto (as adjusted as set forth herein) and any other Shares owned
by the Stockholder beneficially or acquired after the date of this Agreement, at
a per share purchase price equal to $18.00 (the "Purchase Price").
-2-
3
(b) The Option may be exercised by Parent, in whole (but not in
part), if after the date hereof the Merger Agreement shall be terminated
pursuant to:
(i) Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(g) of the Merger
Agreement; or
(ii) Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(f) of the Merger Agreement,
and prior to such termination any Person shall have made a Takeover
Proposal or Superior Proposal to the Company or its stockholders or
publicly announces any Takeover Proposal or Superior Proposal
relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and at the time
of such termination such Takeover Proposal or Superior Proposal had
not been withdrawn and within 60 days after any such termination any
Acquisition Transaction involving the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries shall have been consummated or any Acquisition
Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Transaction involving the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have been entered into. For
purposes of this Agreement, each reference to "25%" in the
definition of the term "Acquisition Transaction" shall be deemed to
be a reference to "51%."
(c) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, it shall
send to the Stockholder a written notice (the date of each such notice being
herein referred to as a "Notice Date") setting forth its irrevocable election to
that effect, which notice also specifies a date not earlier than three business
days nor later than 30 business days from the Notice Date for the closing of
such purchase (an "Option Closing Date"); provided, however, that (i) if the
closing of a purchase and sale pursuant to the Option (an "Option Closing")
cannot be consummated by reason of any applicable judgment, decree, order, law
or regulation, the period of time that otherwise would run pursuant to this
sentence shall run instead from the date on which the restriction on
consummation has expired or been terminated and (ii) without limiting the
foregoing, if prior notification to or approval of any regulatory authority is
required in connection with the purchase, Parent and the Stockholder shall
promptly file the required notice or application for approval and shall
cooperate in the expeditious filing of such notice or application, and the
period of time that otherwise would run pursuant to this sentence shall run
instead from the date on which, as the case may be, (A) any required
notification period has expired or been terminated or (B) any required approval
has been obtained, and in either event, any requisite waiting period has expired
or been terminated. Each of Parent and the Stockholder agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and provide information to the
other, for the purpose of any required notice or application for approval. Any
exercise of the Option shall be deemed to occur on the Notice Date relating
thereto. The place of any Option Closing shall be at the offices of Parent,
which address is set forth in the Merger Agreement, and the time of the Option
Closing shall be 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the applicable Option Closing
Date.
(d) At any Option Closing, Parent shall pay to the Stockholder in
immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated in
writing by the Stockholder an amount equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by
the number of Shares being delivered by the
-3-
4
Stockholder; provided, that failure or refusal of the Stockholder to designate a
bank account shall not preclude Parent from exercising the Option, in whole or
in part.
(e) At any Option Closing, simultaneously with the delivery of
immediately available funds as provided above, the Stockholder shall deliver to
Parent a certificate or certificates representing its Shares to be purchased at
such Option Closing, which Shares shall be free and clear of all liens, claims,
charges and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever.
(f) In the event of any change in the Company Common Stock by reason
of a stock dividend, split-up, merger, recapitalization, combination, exchange
of shares or similar transaction, the type and number of Shares subject to the
Option, and the Purchase Price therefor, shall be adjusted appropriately, so
that Parent shall receive upon exercise of the Option the number and class of
shares or other securities or property that Parent would have received in
respect of the Option Shares if the Option had been exercised immediately prior
to such event or the record date therefor, as applicable.
4. Termination. The Option and the remainder of this Agreement other
than Sections 1 and 2 shall terminate upon the earliest of:
(i) the Effective Time of the Merger;
(ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement for reasons other
than those described in clause (iii) below; and
(iii) (x) thirty (30) days following the termination of the
Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(g)
thereof or (y) thirty (30) days following the date on which the
Option shall become exercisable pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii) of this
Agreement.
Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement shall terminate upon the
earlier of (i) the Effective Time of the Merger and (ii) termination of the
Merger Agreement pursuant to Article VIII thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Option cannot be exercised by reason of any applicable
judgment, decree, order, law or regulation, the Option shall remain exercisable
and shall not terminate until the earlier of (x) the date on which such
impediment shall become final and not subject to appeal, and (y) 5:00 p.m.
Pacific Time, on the tenth (10th) business day after such impediment shall have
been removed. Notwithstanding the termination of the Option or this Agreement,
Parent shall be entitled to purchase the Shares if it has exercised the Option
in accordance with the terms hereof prior to such termination and such
termination shall not affect any rights hereunder which by their terms do not
terminate or expire prior to or as of such termination.
5. Representations and Warranties of Parent. Parent represents and
warrants to the Stockholder as follows:
Organization; Due Authorization; Enforceability. Parent is a

"Sold" or "Sale", as the case may be), any of the Owned Stock or Shares,
provided, however, that such Stockholder may transfer, pledge, encumber, assign
