Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2001, and

Purchase) must tender their Shares according to the guaranteed delivery
procedures set forth in Section 2 of the Offer to Purchase.

   Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for
whose accounts you hold Shares in your name or in the name of your nominee.

PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL

UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.

Please note the following:

      1. The tender price is $9.25 per Share, net to the seller in cash without

      3. The Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 Midnight, New
   York City time, on Friday, September 28, 2001, unless the Offer is extended.

      4. The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, there being validly
   tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer such number
   of Shares that would constitute at least a majority of the Shares that in
   the aggregate are outstanding determined on a fully diluted basis (after
   giving maximum effect to the exercise of all options, warrants and other
   rights to purchase, and the conversion or exchange of all securities
   convertible or exchangeable into, Shares outstanding at the expiration date
   of the Offer, whether or not vested, exercised or converted at the time of
   determination), and any waiting period under the HSR Act (as defined in the
   Offer to Purchase) applicable to the purchase of Shares pursuant to the
   Offer having expired or having been terminated prior to the expiration of
   the Offer. The Offer is also subject to the other terms and conditions
   contained in the Offer to Purchase.

      5. Tendering shareholders will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees or
   commissions imposed by Career Holdings or Purchaser or, except as set forth
   in Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal, stock transfer taxes on the
   transfer of Shares pursuant to the Offer.

   In order to take advantage of the Offer, (i) a duly executed and properly
completed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof) and
any required signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an

documents should be sent to the Depositary and (ii) Certificates representing
the tendered Shares or a timely Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined in the
Offer to Purchase) should be delivered to the Depositary in accordance with the
instructions set forth in the Offer.

   If holders of Shares wish to tender, but it is impracticable for them to
forward their Certificates or other required documents or complete the
procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Date, a tender must
be effected by following the guaranteed delivery procedures specified in
Section 2 of the Offer to Purchase.

   Neither Purchaser, Career Holdings nor any officer, director, shareholder,
agent or other representative of Purchaser or Career Holdings will pay any fees
or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person (other than the Depositary
and the Information Agent as described in the Offer to Purchase) for soliciting
tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Purchaser will, however, upon request,
reimburse you for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by you in
forwarding any of the enclosed materials to your clients. Purchaser will pay or
cause to be paid any transfer taxes payable on the transfer of Shares to it,
except as otherwise provided in Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal.
