ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

     This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates in its entirety the Statement on
Schedule 13D originally filed on August 5, 2002 (as amended and restated by
this Amendment No. 1, the "Schedule 13D") and relates to the common stock, par
value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of @pos.com, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"). The principal executive offices of the Company
are located at 3051 North First Street, San Jose, California 95134.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

     Schedule I to the Schedule 13D sets forth the name, the business address,
the present principal occupation or employment (and the name, principal
business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such
employment is conducted), and the citizenship of the directors, executive
officers and controlling persons of Symbol Technologies, Inc. ("Symbol").

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     The response to Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     Pursuant to a letter dated July 25, 2002, Symbol proposed to the Company
that Symbol acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company.
Symbol's letter is attached as Exhibit A to this Schedule 13D. As a condition
to entering into discussions with Symbol with respect to such an acquisition,
the Company requested that Symbol provide it with interim working capital
financing. On July 26, 2002, Symbol agreed to provide such financing out of
its working capital pursuant to a convertible promissory note in the amount of
$400,000 (the "Old Note").

     On August 12, 2002, Symbol, Symbol Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Symbol, and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") and, in connection therewith, the Old Note was
replaced by the Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note in the amount
of $3,500,000 (the "Amended Note"), also provided out of Symbol's working
capital, to repay in full all of the borrowings outstanding under the
Convertible Promissory Note dated June 25, 2002 held by Hand Held Products,
Inc. and to provide additional interim working capital to the Company until
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated. As of
the date hereof, the Company owed $1,558,372.06 in outstanding principal and
interest under the Amended Note. The Company is expected to borrow additional
funds and thereby increase the outstanding principal amount under the Amended
Note from time to time. The Amended Note is convertible at any time into a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the then-outstanding balance of the Amended Note
(including accrued and unpaid interest) and the denominator of which is
$5,000,000, and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a
fully diluted basis. The Amended Note is attached as Exhibit B to this
Schedule 13D.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Symbol Acquisition Corp. shall commence
a cash tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase all of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.46 per


                                      3
<PAGE>

share, net to the seller in cash. Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, following the consummation of the Offer,
Symbol Acquisition Corp. shall be merged with and into the Company, with the
Company continuing as the surviving corporation in such merger (the "Merger").
Symbol shall finance the Offer and Merger out of its working capital.

     Following the consummation of the Offer, the Common Stock shall be
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is expected to be no longer
eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Merger Agreement is
attached as Exhibit C to this Schedule 13D.

     Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on August 12,
2002, Symbol, Symbol Acquisition Corp. and certain major stockholders of the
Company entered into a Tender and Voting Agreement (the "Tender Agreement")
whereby such stockholders have agreed to tender their Common Stock in the
Offer and take other actions in support of the Offer, the Merger and the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Tender Agreement is
attached as Exhibit D to this Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     The response to Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

     Based upon information provided by the Company updated to the date
hereof, Symbol estimates that it has beneficial ownership of 6,118,695
shares of Common Stock (representing approximately 37.0% of the outstanding
Common Stock), including sole power to vote and dispose of all shares so
owned.

     Neither Symbol nor, to its knowledge, any of the persons identified on
Schedule I, have effected transactions in shares of the Common Stock during
the preceding 60 days.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     The response to Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

     A. Letter dated July 25, 2002 from Symbol to the Company.

     B. Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note, dated August 12,
2002, made by the Company and Crossvue, Inc. in favor of Symbol.

     C. Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 12, 2002, by and
among the Company, Symbol and Symbol Acquisition Corp.

     D. Tender and Voting Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2002, by and among
Symbol, Symbol Acquisition Corp. and certain stockholders of the Company.

                  [Letterhead of Symbol Technologies, Inc.]


                                          July 25, 2002



Mr. John Wood
Chairman of the Board and
  Chief Executive Officer
@POS.com, Inc.
3051 North First Street
San Jose, CA  95134 U.S.A.

Dear John:

          We are pleased to propose that Symbol Technologies, Inc. acquire all
of the outstanding equity interests in @POS.com Inc. (the "Company") for an
aggregate purchase price of $5.5 million. The proposed transaction would be
effected through a customary negotiated two-step merger agreement, whereby
Symbol would make a tender offer for all of the outstanding common stock of
the Company.

          We have reviewed the Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 26, 2002
among the Company, Crossvue, Inc. and Hand Held Products, Inc. and are
confident that the Company's Board will conclude that our proposal constitutes
a "Superior Proposal" as defined in such Asset Purchase Agreement. In addition
to the higher consideration for your shareholders contemplated by our
proposal, we believe that our proposed transaction would have a number of
significant advantages over the transaction contemplated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement, including the absence of any hold-back provision or any risk that
the value available to shareholders would be reduced by the Company's retained
liabilities. We also believe that our proposed transaction would have fewer
conditions, can be competed substantially faster and is potentially more tax
efficient for your shareholders.

          In addition, we are prepared to fund (i) up to $400,000 of interim
working capital advances prior to the execution of a definitive agreement
between Symbol and the Company, (ii) a loan to the Company in an amount
necessary to fully repay HHP under the Convertible Promissory Note dated June
26, 2002 (including any break-up fee payable) simultaneously with the execution
of such definitive agreement and (iii) thereafter provide additional working
capital advances to the Company, which loan and advances under clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) will not exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate. Such loan and
advances shall be on terms substantially the same as the Convertible
Promissory Note currently held by HHP.

          Symbol intends to obtain the funds necessary to complete the
transaction from existing cash balances. As we are sure you are aware, we are
the global leader in mobile data transaction systems with annual revenues in
excess of $1 billion dollars and with a market capitalization (even at today's
depressed levels) in excess of $1 billion.

          Our proposal is subject only to the following conditions: (i) the
completion of satisfactory due diligence to be conducted by us and our
advisors and (ii) the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements on
terms satisfactory to the parties thereto. We have reviewed the publicly
available information on the Company and we believe that our due diligence
would be completed expeditiously and would not delay the execution of
definitive agreements (which we hope would be executed as early as the end of
next week).

          If the Company determines to promptly accept our proposal, the
transaction could be completed as early as the beginning of September 2002.
Unless earlier accepted, this proposal will terminate at 5:00 PM on July 26,
2002.

          We look forward to discussing this proposal and negotiating
definitive agreements with you immediately. In responding to us or in seeking
further information concerning our proposal, or for any other matter, please
call me at (631) 738-4765.

                                          Sincerely yours,

                                          /s/ Leonard Goldner

                             AMENDED AND RESTATED
                          CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE


$3,500,000.00                                                  August 12, 2002


          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, @POS.COM, INC., a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Delaware ("POS"), and CROSSVUE, INC., a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Crossvue") (POS and
Crossvue hereafter individually referred to as a "Borrower" and collectively
referred to as the "Borrowers"), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay
to the order of SYMBOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a corporation organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware ("Lender"), the principal sum of Three Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00), or such lesser amount as is
equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans made to
Borrowers by Lender from time to time, plus the amount of liquidated damages,
if any, payable under Section 10.3(b) of the Merger Agreement referred to
below, together with interest at the rate specified herein. This Amended and
Restated Convertible Promissory Note (this "Note") amends and restates in its
entirety the Convertible Promissory Note dated as of June 26, 2002 (the "Old
Note") executed by the Borrowers in favor of Lender and the Old Note shall
forthwith be terminated and cease to have further force and effect.

          1. Definitions. Whenever used in this Note, the following
capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

          "Closing" shall mean a closing of the Merger under the Merger
Agreement.

          "Common Stock" shall mean shares of common stock of POS.

          "Event of Default" shall mean any of the events specified in Section
10 of this Note.

          "Loan" shall mean each advance made by Lender to Borrowers under
this Promissory Note.

          "Maturity Date" shall mean December 31, 2002.

          "Merger" shall have the meaning set forth for such term in the
Merger Agreement.

          "Merger Agreement" shall mean the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
August 9, 2002 entered into by and among POS, Symbol Acquisition Corp. and
Lender.

          "Person" shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint
venture, joint stock company or other entity of any kind.


<PAGE>

          "Security Agreement" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7
below.

          "Subsidiary" shall mean, as to any Person, a corporation,
partnership or other entity of which shares of capital stock having ordinary
voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other managers
of such corporation, partnership or other entity are at the time owned, or the
management of which is otherwise controlled, directly or indirectly through
one or more intermediaries, or both, by such Person.

          "Termination Date" shall mean the earlier of (a) the date of the
Closing of the Merger and (b) the date the Merger Agreement is terminated for
any reason.

          2. Loans.

          (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prior to the Termination Date
request from Lender one or more Loans in an amount up to but not exceeding in
the aggregate at any one time outstanding the sum of $3,500,000 (including
amounts borrowed under the Old Note).

          (b) Under the Old Note, loans in an aggregate amount of $400,000
have been made and such loans plus accrued and unpaid interest therein shall
be deemed to be outstanding Loans under this Note. A Loan of $1,157,945.23
shall be made when the Borrowers execute and deliver this Note, the Security
Agreement and the other collateral documents required to be delivered under
the Security Agreement and the Borrowers shall use the proceeds of such Loan
to pay in full the outstanding loans and other obligations under the
Convertible Promissory Note dated as of June 25, 2002 executed by Borrowers in
favor of Hand Held Products, Inc. After the date hereof, Borrowers shall give
Lender prior written or oral notice of each subsequent Loan requested
hereunder, specifying the amount and date of each Loan. Borrowers may not
request more than one Loan in any calendar week and each such request may not
exceed $200,000 (or any higher amount to the extent that Lender consents, in
its sole discretion, to such amount). Each request for a Loan shall be
accompanied by a written cash flow projection setting forth the current cash
position of Borrowers (which for these purposes shall include the amount of
any cash prepayment made by Federated Department Stores less an amount needed
by Borrowers to purchase parts inventory specifically for the Federated
contract) and the current cash needs of Borrowers for the following week
(showing the amount of anticipated expenditures by general category) in order
to allow Borrowers to operate in the ordinary course of business. If the
weekly cash flow statement shows a projected cash flow deficit, Lender will,
prior to the Termination Date, make a Loan to Borrowers in the amount of the
deficit up to a maximum of $200,000 per week (or any higher amount to the
extent that Lender consents, in its sole discretion, to such amount). The
proceeds of the Loan shall be made available to Borrowers to such account or
accounts as Borrowers may designate.

                                      2
<PAGE>

          (c) Upon the making of Loans and the receipt of any payments on
Loans made hereunder, Lender is authorized to endorse the attached Schedule A
with an appropriate notation or to make appropriate notations on Lender's
books and records, provided that the failure to make any such notation (or any
error therein) shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the
Loans made under this Note. Such notations made by Lender shall be conclusive
evidence of all loans and payments made hereunder absent manifest error.

          3. Interest.

          (a) The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear
interest at a rate of 10% per annum. In the event this Note is not paid on the
Maturity Date or following an Event of Default, the outstanding principal
balance of this Note shall bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum following
such date.

          (b) Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for
the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on the principal amount of all
outstanding Loans shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month
and if not so paid shall be added to the principal balance monthly.

          4. Principal. The principal balance of this Note shall be paid on
the Maturity Date. Borrowers may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any
time without premium or penalty. Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment
of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, and any accrued and unpaid
interest hereon, on the date on which either Borrower or POS's stockholders
enter into a transaction with a Person other than Lender which involves (i) a
merger or consolidation of either Borrower with another Person or the transfer
of any portion of the outstanding capital stock or assets to another Person or
(ii) a debt or equity financing by either Borrower; provided that, in the
event the financing does not raise proceeds (net of costs and expenses of the
financing transaction) equal to or in excess of $3,500,000, the mandatory
prepayment shall be limited in an amount to 50% of the net proceeds raised in
such financing transaction.

          5. Adjustment of Principal Amount.

          (a) The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be reduced
by $350,000 in the event Lender becomes obligated to pay liquidated damages to
Borrowers under Section 10.3(c) of the Merger Agreement following a
termination of the Merger Agreement for one of the reasons specified in
Section 10.3(c). In such event, Borrowers shall be deemed to have offset the
amount of the liquidated damages owed by Lender against the outstanding
balance hereof.

          (b) The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be
increased by $350,000 in the event Borrowers become obligated to pay
liquidated damages to Lender under Section 10.3(b) of the Merger Agreement
following a termination of the Merger Agreement for one of the reasons
specified in Section 10.3(b). In such event, Borrowers shall be deemed to have
requested and received an additional Loan in the amount of $350,000.

                                      3
<PAGE>

          6. Payments. All payments due under or pursuant to this Note shall
be made when due at such address as Lender may designate in writing
from time to time, in lawful money of the United States of America.

          7. Collateral. This Note is secured by a security interest in
substantially all the assets of Borrowers granted pursuant to a Security
Agreement dated the date hereof (the "Security Agreement"). Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies set forth in the Security Agreement.

          8. Conversion.

          (a) Lender may at any time before or after the occurrence of an
Event of Default convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal balance of
this Note (including accrued and unpaid interest) into such number of shares
of Common Stock of POS as is equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the then-outstanding balance of this Note (including
accrued and unpaid interest) and the denominator of which is $5,000,000, and
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis,
including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to (i)
any outstanding rights, options or warrant to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common
Stock and (ii) outstanding indebtedness, shares or other securtities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

          (b) If Lender desires to convert this Note into shares of Common
Stock, Lender shall surrender this Note and shall give written notice to POS
that Lender elects to convert the same. POS shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, issue and deliver to Lender, a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which Lender shall be entitled. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of
business on the date of surrender of this Note, and Lender shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such
date. If Lender elects to convert less than the entire outstanding balance of
this Note, Borrowers shall issue a replacement promissory note for the balance
which is not converted.

          (c) POS will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid
or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by POS, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 8 and in the
taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the conversion rights of Lender against impairment.

          (d) In the event of any taking by POS of a record of the holders of
any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who
are entitled to (i) receive any dividend or other distribution, any security
or right convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive
additional shares of Common Stock, (ii) receive any right to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right, or (iii) approve any
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution

                                      4
<PAGE>

or other reorganization, Borrowers shall mail to Lender at least twenty (20)
days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on
which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, security, or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution, security or right.

          (e) POS shall pay any and all issue and other taxes (except taxes
measured by the net income of Lender) that may be payable in respect of any
issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note
pursuant hereto.

          (f) POS shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of this Note, such number of its shares of Common
Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of
this Note. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note,
POS will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging
in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary
amendment to its certificate of incorporation.

          (g) In case of any reorganization or any reclassification of the
capital stock of POS, any consolidation or merger of POS with or into another
Person, or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of POS to
another Person, this Note shall thereafter be convertible into the number of
shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of
this Note would have been entitled upon the record date of (or date of, if no
record date is fixed) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger or conveyance; and, in any case, appropriate adjustment shall be made
in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of Lender, to the end that the provisions set
forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as equivalent as is
practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or the securities or property
(including cash) thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note.

          9. Representations and Warranties. The Borrowers jointly and
severally represent and warrant as follows:

          (a) Borrowers have the corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver this Note and to incur the indebtedness evidenced hereby;

insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up,
liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or
its debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian,
conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial
part of its assets, or any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall make a

          Upon the occurrence of one of the events specified in clauses (a)

accelerated and declared payable in full. Upon the occurrence of one of the
events specified in clause (e), all amounts due under this Note shall
automatically be accelerated and become payable in full. Borrowers shall no
longer be authorized to request additional Loans hereunder following the
occurrence of any Event of Default.

          11. Waiver of Protest. Borrowers hereby waive presentment, protest,
demand, notice of dishonor or default, and notice of any kind except as herein
required with respect to this Note or the performance of their obligations
under this Note.

<PAGE>

          12. Waiver; Amendment. No delay or omission by Lender in enforcing
or exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or
of any other right under this Note. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. This Note
may not be amended except as Lender may consent thereto in writing duly signed
for and on its behalf.

obligation of Parent and Purchaser to commence the Offer, to consummate the

Offer and not withdrawn shall be subject to the conditions set forth in
Exhibit A hereto. Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to waive any such condition and make any other changes in the

<PAGE>

manner which is adverse to the holders of the Shares, or which imposes

shall accept for payment and pay for any and all Shares validly tendered and
not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after the
expiration date thereof.

     (c) Without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not
extend the expiration date of the Offer beyond the initial expiration date of
the Offer (which shall be the 20th business day after commencement of the
Offer), except (A) as required by applicable law, (B) that if, immediately
prior to the expiration date of the Offer (as it may be extended), the Shares
tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer constitute less than 90% of
the outstanding Shares, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, extend the
Offer for one or more periods not to exceed an aggregate of ten business days,
notwithstanding that all conditions to the Offer are satisfied as of such
expiration date of the Offer, or (C) that if any condition to the Offer has
not been satisfied or waived, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, extend
the expiration date of the Offer for one or more periods but in no event later
than October 31, 2002; provided that the Offer may be extended in connection
with an increase in the consideration to be paid pursuant to the Offer so as
to comply with applicable rules and regulations of the United States

with respect to the Offer which shall contain the offer to purchase and
related letter of transmittal and other ancillary documents and instruments

supplements or amendments thereto, the "Offer Documents"). The Company will
promptly supply to Parent and Purchaser in writing, for inclusion in the Offer
Documents, all information concerning the Company required under the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to be included in the Offer
Documents.

     (b) The Offer Documents will comply in all material respects with the
provisions of applicable federal securities laws and, on the date filed with
the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company's
stockholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, except that no representation is made by
Parent or Purchaser with respect to information supplied by the Company in
writing for inclusion in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent and Purchaser
further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be
filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case
as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Each of
Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall promptly correct any information
provided by them for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such
information shall be or have become false or misleading in any material
respect, and Parent and Purchaser shall take all lawful action necessary to
cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed promptly with the SEC
and to be disseminated to holders of Shares as and to the extent required by
applicable law. The Company and its counsel shall be

this Agreement, the Offer and the Merger are fair to and in the best interests

of Delaware inapplicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, and (C) declared the advisability
of this Agreement and resolved to recommend acceptance of the Offer and
adoption of this Agreement by the holders of Shares. The Company hereby
consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the recommendations of the
Company's Board of Directors described in this Section 2.3(a).

and the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,

stockholders of the Company. Parent will promptly supply to the Company in

federal securities laws and, on the date filed with the SEC and on the date
first published, sent or given to the Company's stockholders, shall not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material

     (c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall promptly furnish
Parent and Purchaser with mailing labels, security position listings, any
non-objecting beneficial owner lists and all available listings or computer
files containing the names and addresses of the record holders of Shares as of
the latest practicable date and shall furnish Parent and Purchaser with such
additional information and assistance (including updated lists of
stockholders, mailing labels, lists of security positions and non-objecting
beneficial owner's lists) as Parent and Purchaser or their agents may
reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial

     Section 2.4. Directors. (a) Subject to Section 2.4(c), promptly after the
purchase of and payment for the Shares by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer,
Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of directors (the "Parent
Designees"), rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company's Board of
Directors as is equal to the product of the total number of directors on such
Board (after giving effect to any increase in the size of such Board pursuant
to this Section 2.4) multiplied by the percentage that the number of Shares
beneficially owned by Purchaser at such time (including Shares so accepted for
payment) bears to the total number of Shares then outstanding; provided that
in no event shall the Parent Designees constitute less than a majority of the
entire Board of Directors. In furtherance thereof, the Company shall, upon the
request of Parent, use its reasonable best efforts promptly either to increase
the size of its Board of Directors or to secure the resignations of such
number of its incumbent directors, or both, as is necessary to enable the
Parent Designees to be so elected or appointed to the Company's Board of
Directors, and the Company shall take all actions available to the Company to
cause the Parent Designees to be so elected or appointed. At such time, the
Company shall, subject to Section 2.4(c), if requested by Parent, also take
all action necessary to cause persons designated by Parent to constitute at
least the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the
Company's Board of Directors of (i) each committee of the Company's Board of
Directors, (ii) each board of directors (or similar body) of each Subsidiary
of the Company and (iii) each committee (or similar body) of each such board.

     (b) The Company's obligation to appoint Parent Designees to the Company's
Board of Directors shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and
Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions
required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1
promulgated thereunder in order to fulfill its obligations under Section
2.4(a), including mailing to stockholders the information required by such
Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 (or including such information in the Schedule
14D-9 initially filed with the SEC and distributed to the stockholders of the
Company) as is necessary to enable Parent Designees to be elected to the
Company's Board of Directors. Parent or Purchaser will supply to the Company
in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to
Parent and Purchaser and their nominees, officers, directors and affiliates to
the extent required by such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1. The provisions of
this Section 2.4 are in addition to and shall not limit any rights which
Purchaser, Parent or any of their affiliates may have as a holder or
beneficial owner of Shares as a matter of applicable law with respect to the
election of directors or otherwise.

     (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.4, the parties
hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to ensure that at
least one member of the Board shall, at all times prior to the Effective Time
(as defined in Section 3.3 hereof), be a director of the

                                      9
<PAGE>

Company who was a director of the Company on the date hereof (the "Continuing
Director"), provided that, if no Continuing Director then remains, the other
directors of the Company then in office shall designate a person to fill such
vacancy who will not be officers or employees or affiliates of the Company or
Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries and such person shall be deemed
to be a Continuing Director for all purposes of this Agreement. From and after
the time, if any, that the Parent Designees constitute a majority of the
Company's Board of Directors and prior to the Effective Time, subject to the
terms hereof, any amendment or modification of this Agreement, any amendment
to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, any termination of
this Agreement by the Company, any extension of time for performance of any of
the obligations of Parent or Purchaser hereunder, any waiver of any condition
to the Company's obligations hereunder or any of the Company's rights
hereunder or other action by the Company hereunder which adversely affects the
holders of Shares other than Parent or Purchaser may be effected only if there
are in office one or more Continuing Directors and such action is approved by
the action of a majority of the Continuing Directors.

that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the

Bartlett, 425 Lexington Ave, New York, New York, 10017, unless another date,
time or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

Secretary of State of Delaware a certificate of merger or, if applicable, a
certificate of ownership and merger and any other appropriate documents,
executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, and shall make all other filings or recordings

forth therein (the "Effective Time").

     Section 3.4. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set
forth in the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject
thereto, at the Effective Time, all property of the Company and Purchaser

Surviving Corporation.

                                  ARTICLE IV

               EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE
              CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

     Section 4.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of
the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Shares or any
other shares of capital stock of the Company or Purchaser:

     (a) Common Stock of Purchaser. Each share of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of Purchaser issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of
the Surviving Corporation.

     (b) Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Shares. Each Share
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned
by the Company or by Parent, Purchaser or any other subsidiary of Parent shall
automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no cash or other
consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

     (c) Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, each Share issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares to be
canceled in accordance with Section 4.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares (as
defined in Section 4.1(d)) shall be converted into the right to receive the
Offer Consideration, payable to the holder thereof, without any interest

                                      11
<PAGE>

thereon (the "Merger Consideration"), less any required withholding taxes,
upon surrender and exchange of a Certificate (as defined in Section 4.3).

     (d) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time held by any person who has not voted such Shares in favor of the Merger
and who has the right to demand, and who properly demands, an appraisal of
such Shares ("Dissenting Shares") in accordance with Section 262 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor provision)
shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration unless
such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder's right to such
appraisal, if any. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect
or loses any such right to appraisal, each such Share of such holder shall be
treated as a Share that had been converted as of the Effective Time into the
right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 4.1(c).
At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any
rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor provision)
and as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. The Company shall give
prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal
of Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all
negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall
not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with
respect to, or offer to settle, any such demands.

     Section 4.2. Options; Stock Plans.

     (a) At the Effective Time, each then outstanding option to purchase
Common Stock, whether or not otherwise vested and exercisable (a "Stock
Option") shall be cancelled by the Company and in consideration of such
cancellation and except to the extent that Parent and the holder of any such
Stock Option otherwise agree, the Company shall pay to such holders of Stock
Options an amount in respect thereof equal to the product of (A) the excess,
if any, of (i) the Merger Consideration over (ii) the exercise price per Share
subject to such Stock Option and (B) the number of Shares subject to such
Stock Option immediately prior to its cancellation. Such payment shall be less
any required withholding taxes and without interest.

     (b) The Company shall ensure that following the date hereof (i) no
further issuance, transfer or grant of any capital stock of the Company or any
interest in respect of any capital stock of the Company shall be made under
the Company Stock Incentive Plan and (ii) no holder of a Stock Option or any
participant in any employee incentive or benefit plans or programs or
arrangements or non-employee director plans maintained by the Company shall
have any right thereunder to acquire any capital stock of the Company, Parent
or the Surviving Corporation.

     (c) Prior to the consummation of the Offer, the Company shall, if
necessary, amend the terms of the Company Stock Incentive Plan to give effect
to the provisions of this Section 4.2.

     Section 4.3. Payment for Shares.

     (a) Payment Fund. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent
shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with or for the account of a
bank or trust company designated

                                      12
<PAGE>

by Parent (the "Paying Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, cash
in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable upon
the conversion of Shares pursuant to Section 4.1(c) (the "Payment Fund").

     (b) Letters of Transmittal; Surrender of Certificates. (i) As soon as
reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the
Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (other than the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or Parent, Purchaser or any other subsidiary of Parent) of
a certificate or certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time,
evidenced outstanding Shares (the "Certificates"), (x) a form of letter of
transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of
loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of
the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall be in such form and have such
other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (y) instructions for
use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger
Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying
Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other
customary documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the
holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor
cash in an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of Shares formerly
represented by such Certificate and (B) the Merger Consideration, and the
Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be
paid or accrued on any cash payable upon the surrender of any Certificate. If
payment is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the
surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that
the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in
proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such payment shall pay
any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person
other than the registered holder of the surrendered Certificate or established
to the satisfaction of Parent and the Surviving Corporation that such taxes
have been paid or are not applicable.

          (ii) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will issue
in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger
Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with
this Article IV, provided that the person to whom the Merger Consideration is
paid shall, as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, give the
Surviving Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct or otherwise
indemnify the Surviving Corporation in a manner satisfactory to it against any
claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to the
Certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

     (c) Cancellation of Shares; No Further Rights. As of the Effective Time,
all Shares (other than Shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 4.1(b)
and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be
canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such Shares shall
cease to have any rights with respect thereto or arising therefrom (including
without limitation the right to vote), except the right to receive the Merger
Consideration, without interest, upon surrender of such Certificate in
accordance with Section 4.3(b), and until so surrendered, each such
Certificate shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive the
Merger Consideration (without interest). The Merger Consideration paid upon
the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of
this Section 4.3 shall be deemed to have

                                      13
<PAGE>

been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly
represented by such Certificates.

     (d) Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the Payment
Fund, as directed by Parent, in (i) direct obligations of the United States of
America, (ii) obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United
States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and
interest, (iii) commercial paper rated the highest quality by either Moody's
Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, or (iv)
certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers' acceptances of
commercial banks with capital exceeding $500 million. Any net earnings with
respect to the Payment Fund shall be the property of and paid over to Parent
as and when requested by Parent.

     (e) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund which
remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates for 180 days after the
Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of
Certificates that have not theretofore complied with this Section 4.3 shall
thereafter look only to Parent, and only as general creditors thereof, for
payment of their claim for any Merger Consideration.

     (f) No Liability. None of Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or
the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any payments or
distributions payable from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. Subject
to applicable law and public policy, if any Certificates shall not have been
surrendered immediately prior to such date on which any Merger Consideration
in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the
property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 5.4(c)), any
amounts payable in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law and public policy, become the property of the Surviving
Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously
entitled thereto.

     (g) Withholding Rights. Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from the consideration
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, Stock
Options or Certificates such amounts as are required to be deducted and
withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any provision of applicable state,
local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and
withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to such holders in respect of which such
deduction and withholding was made.

promulgated by the SEC.

     Section 5.6. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except as disclosed in
Section 5.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the business of each Company
Party is not being conducted in violation of any material law, ordinance,

investigation or review by a Governmental Entity with respect to any Company
Party pending or, to the Best Knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor has
any Governmental Entity notified any Company Party of its intention to conduct
the same. To the Best Knowledge of the Company, each Company Party has all
permits, licenses, approvals, orders, and franchises from Governmental
Entities ("Permits") required to conduct its businesses as now being
conducted. All of each Company Party's respective Permits are in full force
and effect. No violations under such Permits have been recorded.

Entity against any Company Party purporting to enjoin or restrain the
execution, delivery or performance of any Transaction Document.

     Section 5.8. Title to Properties. Section 5.8 of the Company Disclosure

unwritten), and (ii) plan instruments and amendments thereto for all Employee
Benefit Plans and related trust agreements, insurance and other contracts,
summary plan descriptions, summaries of material modifications and material
communications distributed to the participants of each Employee Benefit Plan

     (c) Neither any Company Party nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or has
ever maintained, contributed to or had an obligation to contribute to or could
have any obligation in respect of an Employee Benefit Plan subject to Title IV
of ERISA or to Section 412 of the Code. Neither any Company Party nor any
ERISA Affiliate has ever contributed to, or withdrawn in a partial or complete
withdrawal from, any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 3(37) of
ERISA) or has any fixed or contingent liability under Section 4204 of ERISA.
No Employee Benefit Plan is a "multiple employer plan" as described in Section
3(40) of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code.

     (d) Each Employee Benefit Plan is and has been operated in all material
respects in compliance with its terms and all applicable laws, and by its
terms can be amended and/or terminated at any time and in any manner without
incurring liability thereunder. As of and including the Closing Date, each
Company Party shall have made all contributions required to be made by it up
to and including the Closing Date with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan,
or adequate accruals therefor will have been provided for and will be
reflected on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company at March
31, 2002 provided to Parent by the Company (the "Balance Sheet"). All notices,
filings and disclosures required by ERISA or the Code (including notices under
Section 4980B of the Code) have been timely made.

     (e) No Employee Benefit Plan provides for medical or health benefits, or
life insurance or other death benefits (through insurance or otherwise) or
provides for the continuation of such benefits or coverage for any employee or
any dependent or beneficiary of any employee after such employee's retirement
or other termination of employment except as may be required by Part 6 of
Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code ("COBRA"), and
there has been no communication to any employee that could reasonably be
expected to promise or guarantee any such benefits.

     (f) Except as required by law, none of the Company Parties has proposed
or has agreed to any changes to any Employee Benefit Plan that would cause an
increase in benefits under any such Employee Benefit Plan (or the creation of
new benefits or plans) nor to change any employee coverage which would cause
an increase in the expense of maintaining any such Employee Benefit Plan.

     (g) Section 5.10(g)(1) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all
employees of the Company Parties as of the date of this Agreement, their
salaries as of the date of this Agreement, the date and amount of their most

Party or any ERISA Affiliate.

     (i) To the Best Knowledge of the Company, no condition exists as a result
of which any Company Party may have a material liability, whether absolute or
contingent, including any obligations under the Employee Benefit Plans, with
respect to any misclassification of a person performing services for a Company
Party as an independent contractor rather than as an employee.

     (j) Except as disclosed on Section 5.10(j) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule, no Employee Benefit Plan is a plan, agreement or arrangement
providing for benefits, in the nature of severance benefits, and no Company
Party has outstanding any liabilities with respect to any severance benefits
available under any Employee Benefit Plan.

     (k) Except as disclosed on Section 5.10(k) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule or except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either alone
or in combination with another event (including, without limitation, the
termination of employment of any Person), will not result in (i) any payment
(including, without limitation, severance, unemployment compensation, golden
parachute or bonus payments or otherwise) becoming due to any director,
officer, employee or consultant of any Company Party, (ii) any increase in the
amount of compensation or benefits payable in respect of any director,
officer, employee or consultant of any Company Party, or (iii) acceleration of
the vesting or timing of payment of any benefits or compensation payable in
respect of any director, officer, employee or consultant of any Company Party,
in each case under any Employee Benefit Plan or otherwise. No Employee Benefit
Plan provides benefits or payments contingent upon, triggered by or increased
as a result of a change in the ownership or effective control of any Company
Party.

     (l) Except as disclosed on Section 5.10(l) of the Company Disclosure

Party, including all such laws, agreements and contracts relating to wages,
hours, collective bargaining, employment discrimination, immigration,
disability, civil rights, fair labor standards, occupational safety and
health, workers' compensation, pay equity, wrongful discharge and violation of
the potential rights of such

former, current and prospective employees, independent contractors and leased
employees, and has timely prepared and filed all appropriate forms (including

the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will have an adverse
effect on labor relations or that any of the Company Parties' employees
intends to leave their employ.

     (o) None of the Company Parties are engaged in any unfair labor practice.
No collective bargaining agreement with respect to the business of any Company

covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

     (p) There are no strikes, slowdowns or work stoppages pending or, to the

     (s) Since January 1, 2001, no Company Party has received any notice of
the intent of any federal, state, local or foreign agency responsible for the
enforcement of labor or employment laws to conduct an investigation of such
Company Party and, to the Best Knowledge of the Company, no such investigation
is in progress.

     (t) Except as set forth on Section 5.10(t) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule, neither any Company Party nor any of its directors, officers and
employees has made any statements or representations or distributed any
written material to any of its employees regarding future operating plans of
Parent after the Closing or Company Parties' or Parent's continued employment
of Company Parties' respective employees subsequent to the Closing, other than
any such statements, representations or written material authorized by Parent.

     Section 5.11. Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. At March 31, 2002 (the

affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general
principles of equity relating to enforceability (regardless of whether

its Subsidiaries and any Person acting on behalf of any Company Party not to,

other action intended or designed to facilitate the efforts of any Person,
other than Parent, relating to the possible acquisition, recapitalization or
other business combination involving any Company Party (whether by way of
merger, purchase of capital stock, purchase of assets or otherwise) or any
material portion of its capital stock or assets, or any transaction the
consummation of which would or would reasonably be expected to impede,
interfere with, prevent or materially delay the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement or which would or would reasonably be expected to materially
dilute the benefits to Parent of the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement (with any such efforts by any such Person to be referred to as
"Acquisition Proposal"), (b) provide non-public information with respect to
any Company Party to any Person, other than a Company Party's professional
advisors, Parent or Parent's professional advisors, or (c) enter into an

the Offer, the Company may, to the extent a majority of the entire Board of

and based upon the advice of outside legal counsel, that the Board's fiduciary
duties require it to do so, participate in discussions or negotiations with,
and, subject to the requirements of Section 7.8(c), furnish non-public
information, and afford access to the

                                      34
<PAGE>

properties, books or records of the Company Parties to any Person after such
Person has delivered to the Company in writing, an unsolicited bona fide
Acquisition Proposal with respect to any Company Party (which has not been
withdrawn) which a majority of the entire Board of Directors of the Company in
its good faith judgment determines, after reasonable inquiry and due diligence
(which shall include the review of such Person's financial statements) and
consultation with an investment banking firm, (A) would be reasonably likely
to result in a transaction more favorable than that contemplated by this
Agreement to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view
(which judgment must be reasonable), and (B) that the Person making such
Acquisition Proposal is financially capable of consummating such Acquisition
Proposal or that the financing necessary to consummate such Acquisition
Proposal, to the extent required, is then committed or is reasonably capable
of being obtained by such Person (a "Superior Proposal").

          (ii) In the event the Company receives a Superior Proposal prior to
the acceptance for payment of Shares by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer,
nothing contained in this Agreement (but subject to the terms of this Section
7.8(b)) will prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from recommending
such Superior Proposal to the stockholders of the Company, if the Board
determines, in good faith, after consultation with and based upon the advice
of outside legal counsel, that such action is required by its fiduciary
duties; in such case, the Board of Directors of the Company may withdraw,
modify or refrain from making its recommendations set forth in Sections 2.3,
7.9 and 7.10 and other relevant sections in this Agreement, and, to the extent
it does so, the Company may refrain from soliciting proxies to secure the
affirmative vote of its stockholders as contemplated by Section 7.10;
provided, however, that the Company shall (A) provide Parent at least five
business days prior notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Company at which such Board of Directors is reasonably expected to consider a
Superior Proposal, (B) not recommend to its stockholders a Superior Proposal
for a period of not less than the greater of five full business days and 120
hours after Parent's receipt of a copy of such Superior Proposal and the
identity of the third party, and (C) not enter into a definitive agreement
relating to such Superior Proposal unless Parent fails to match the terms of
the Superior Proposal within the greater of five full business days and 120
hours after Parent's receipt of a copy of such Superior Proposal and the
identity of the third party; and provided, further, that unless this Agreement
is terminated pursuant to Article X, nothing contained in this Section 7.8(b)
shall limit the Company's obligation to hold and convene a special meeting of
its stockholders (regardless of whether the recommendation of the Board of
Directors of the Company shall have been withdrawn, modified or not yet made)
or to provide the stockholders of the Company with material information
relating to such meeting. The Company shall keep Parent informed on a
reasonably current basis of the status and content of any discussions
regarding any Acquisition Proposal with a third party.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall
not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, provide any non-public
information to a third party unless: (x) the Company or such Subsidiary
provides, such non-public information pursuant to a nondisclosure agreement
with terms regarding the protection of oral or written confidential
information at least as restrictive as such terms in the confidentiality
agreement heretofore entered into by the parties hereto; and (y) such
non-public information has been previously delivered or made available to
Parent.

stockholder approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. The Company will respond to any comments of the SEC as promptly as
practicable after such filing and will cause the proxy or information
statement, as applicable, to be mailed to its stockholders at the earliest
practicable time. The Company will notify Parent promptly upon the receipt of
any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its
staff for amendments or supplements to the proxy statement or for additional
information and will supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between
such party or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its
staff or any other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to
the proxy statement. The proxy or information statement, as applicable, will
comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Whenever any event occurs
which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the proxy
or information statement, as applicable, the Company will promptly inform
Parent of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff,
and/or mailing to stockholders of the Company, of such amendment or
supplement. The proxy statement or information statement, as applicable, shall
include the recommendation of the Boards of Directors of the Company in favor
of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby,
subject to Section 7.8(b).

     Section 7.10. Stockholders' Meeting. (a) As soon as practicable following
the acceptance for payment of and payment for Shares by Purchaser in the
Offer, if required by law to consummate the Merger, the Company shall with the
cooperation of Parent take all action necessary, in accordance with the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Exchange Act and other
applicable law and its certificate of incorporation and by-laws to call a
special meeting of its stockholders (the "Stockholders Meeting") for the
purposes of voting upon the approval of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby as soon as practicable after 10 days have elapsed after
the filing of a preliminary proxy statement (unless the SEC notifies the
Company of its intention to provide comments on the proxy statement, in which
case as soon as practicable after the SEC notifies the Company that it is
satisfied with the modifications made to the proxy statement made in response
to such comments and that it has no additional comments), provided, that the
Company may, in lieu of holding such a meeting, obtain such approval by
written consent of stockholders in accordance with the requirements of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Unless otherwise required by
the applicable fiduciary duties of the directors of the Company, as determined
by such directors in good faith, after consultation with and based upon the
advice of outside legal counsel, as contemplated by Section 7.8, the Company,
if required by law to consummate the Merger, shall solicit from its
stockholders proxies in favor of approval of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby (unless such approval was obtained on a
written consent in lieu of a meeting), and shall take all other reasonable
action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of stockholders in
favor of such approval.

     (b) At the Stockholders Meeting, Parent and Purchaser shall cause all of
the Shares owned by them to be voted in favor of the adoption of this
Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby.

material respects, or by the Company, if (A) any representation or warranty of
Parent set forth in this Agreement that is qualified by materiality shall not
be true and correct or (B) any representation or warranty of Parent set forth
in this Agreement that is not so qualified shall not be true and correct in
all material respects; provided, that, in each case, if such misrepresentation

the Company or Parent, as the case may be, continues to exercise such
commercially reasonable efforts, neither the Company nor Parent, respectively,
may terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(e); or

     (f) by either the Company or Parent, upon a breach of any covenant or
agreement set forth in this Agreement by the other party; provided, that, if
such breach is curable prior to the Final Date by the Company or Parent, as
the case may be, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts
and for so long as the Company or Parent, as the case may be, continues to
exercise such commercially reasonable efforts, neither Parent nor the Company,
respectively, may terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(f);

     (g) by the Company, in the event the Company receives a Superior Proposal

<PAGE>

expenses and fees, whether incurred prior to, concurrently with or after the
execution of this Agreement, in connection with the transaction contemplated
by this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated by either the Company or
Parent for any reason other than (i) pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or (h) or
(ii) pursuant to Section 10.1(b), (e) or (f) as a result of Parent's breach of
this Agreement or inaccuracy of representations or warranties of Parent made
in this Agreement.

     (c) The principal amount of the Convertible Note shall be reduced by
$350,000 as liquidated damages if this Agreement is rightfully terminated by

Parent made in this Agreement, provided that the Company were not in breach of
any of their agreements, covenants, representations or warranties made in this
Agreement.

     Section 10.4. No Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, none of the parties to this Agreement, nor their

Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XI

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 11.1. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware
(irrespective of its choice of law principles) will govern the validity of
this Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation and
enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto. All actions and
proceedings relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement shall be
litigated in any state court or federal court located in the State of
Delaware. The parties hereto expressly consent to the jurisdiction of any such
court and to venue therein.

     Section 11.2. Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. None of
the parties hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided,
however, that Parent may assign, without the prior written consent of the
Company, its right to purchase the Shares to one or more direct or indirect
wholly-owned subsidiaries with the financial ability to fulfill Purchaser's
obligation to pay the Offer Consideration and the Merger Consideration,
provided that no such assignment shall relieve Parent of its obligations
hereunder. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     Section 11.3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof, will for any reason and to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such
provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as
reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further
agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a
valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent
possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or
unenforceable provision.

                                      40

     Section 11.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which will be an original as regards any party whose
signature appears thereon and all of which together will constitute one and
the same instrument. This Agreement will become binding when one or more
counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, will bear the signatures
of all the parties reflected hereon as signatories.

     Section 11.5. 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 on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the
exercise of any other.

     Section 11.6. Amendment and Waivers. Any term or provision of this
Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may
be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be
bound thereby. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the
performance hereof will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other
default or any succeeding breach or default. The Agreement may be amended by
the parties hereto at any time before or after its approval by the
stockholders of the Company, but, after such approval, no amendment will be
made which by applicable law requires the further approval of the stockholders
of the Company without obtaining such further approval.

     Section 11.7. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby
waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have
to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly
arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Offer and
Merger. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent
or attorney of any other party hereto has represented, expressly or otherwise,
that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce
the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto
have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Offer and Merger, as
applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in
this Section 11.7.

     Section 11.8. Notices. All notices and other communications pursuant to
this Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to be sufficient if contained in
a written instrument and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, sent

                                   EXHIBIT A

                            CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER

     Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set
forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") of which this
Exhibit A is a part. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer and
subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser shall not be required
to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of
the SEC, including Rule 14e-l(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to
Purchaser's obligation to pay for or return tendered Shares promptly after
termination or withdrawal of the Offer), pay for, and may delay the acceptance
for payment of or, subject to the restriction referred to above, the payment
for, any tendered Shares, and may amend the Offer or terminate the Offer, in
each case, consistent with the terms of the Agreement and not accept for
payment any tendered Shares, if (i) there shall not have been validly tendered
and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer such number of Shares
which would constitute at least a majority of the Shares outstanding on a
fully diluted basis on the date of purchase ("on a fully-diluted basis"
meaning the number of Shares outstanding, together with the Shares which the
Company may be required to issue pursuant to warrants, options or obligations
outstanding at that date under employee stock or similar benefit plans or
otherwise whether or not vested or then exercisable) (the "Minimum
Condition"), (ii) any necessary material approval, permit, authorization or
consent of any governmental, administrative or regulatory agency shall not
have been obtained, (iii) the Agreement shall have been terminated in
accordance with its terms, or (iv) at any time on or after the date of the
Agreement and prior to the expiration date of the Offer, any of the following
events shall occur and be continuing and shall not have resulted from the
breach by Parent or Purchaser of any of their obligations under the Agreement:

          (a) there shall be any action or proceeding brought or threatened by
any Governmental Entity or any person, or any statute, rule, regulation,
judgment, order or injunction enacted, entered, enforced, promulgated or
deemed applicable to the Offer or the Merger, seeking to (i) impose any
material limitations on Parent's or Purchaser's ownership or operation (or
that of any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) of all or a
material portion of their or the Company's businesses or assets or compel
Parent or Purchaser to dispose of or hold separate all or any portion of the
business or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or any
of its subsidiaries, (ii) prohibit the making or consummation of the Offer or
the Merger, (iii) impose material limitations on the ability of Purchaser, or
render Purchaser unable, to accept for payment, pay for or purchase some or
all of the Shares pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, or effectively to
exercise full rights of ownership of the Shares, including, without
limitation, the right to vote the Shares purchased by Purchaser or Parent on
all matters properly presented to the Company's stockholders or (iv) require
the divestiture by Parent or Purchaser of any Shares; or

          (b) (i) any representation or warranty of the Company contained in
the Agreement that is qualified as to materiality shall not be true and
correct; or (ii) any representation or warranty of the Company in the
Agreement that is not so qualified shall not be true and correct in all
material respects, in each case as of the date of consummation of the Offer as
though made on or as of such date (other than representations and warranties
that by their terms address matters only as of another specified date, which
shall be true and correct only as of such other specified date); or


<PAGE>

          (c) the Company shall have breached or failed in any material
respect to perform any obligation or to comply with any agreement or covenant
of the Company to be performed by or complied with by it under the Agreement;
or

          (d) there shall have occurred an event, change, occurrence, or
development of a state of facts or circumstances having, or which would
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company; or

          (e) there shall have occurred (i) any suspension or limitation of
trading in securities generally on the NYSE (which suspension or limitation
shall continue for at least three hours) or any setting of minimum prices for
trading on such exchange, (ii) any banking moratorium declared by the U.S.
federal or New York authorities or any suspension of payments in respect of
banks in the United States, (iii) any material limitation (whether or not
mandatory) by any Governmental Entity on the extension of credit by commercial
banks or other commercial lending institutions, (iv) a commencement of a war
or armed hostilities or other national or international calamity directly or
indirectly involving the United States or (v) in the case of any of the
foregoing existing on the date hereof, a material acceleration or worsening
thereof;

which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent or Purchaser, in any such case set
forth in clauses (a) - (e), and regardless of the circumstances (including any
action or inaction by Parent or Purchaser) giving rise to such condition makes
it inadvisable to proceed with the Offer and/or with such acceptance for
payment or, of payment for, Shares.

     Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the foregoing conditions are for
the sole benefit of Parent and Purchaser and may be waived by Parent or
Purchaser, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, in the sole
discretion of Parent or Purchaser. The failure by Parent or Purchaser at any
time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of
any right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be
asserted at any time and from time to time.

thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum and (a) vote (or cause to be
voted) all of its Securities in favor of the approval, adoption, consent and
ratification of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all the other
transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the "Transactions"); (b) vote

agrees from time to time to grant to, and appoint, Parent and Purchaser, or
any of them, and any individual designated in writing by any of them, and each
of them individually, as such Stockholder's proxy, agent and attorney-in-fact
(with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of
such Stockholder, to

                                      2
<PAGE>

vote (or cause to be voted) its Securities, or grant a consent or approval in
respect of its Securities, in each case, with respect to any Subject Proposal,
in a manner consistent with Section 1.02 above.

          (b) Each Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and
Purchaser are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such
Stockholder's execution and delivery of this Agreement. Each Stockholder
hereby affirms that the proxy set forth in this Section 1.03 is given in
connection with the execution of this Agreement, and that such proxy is given
to secure the performance of the duties of such Stockholder under this
Agreement. Each Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that such proxy
may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each Stockholder will
take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary
to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously
granted by it with respect to its Securities that would be inconsistent with
the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1.03(a). No Stockholder shall hereafter,
unless and until this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof,
purport to vote (or execute a consent with respect to) its Securities with
respect to any Subject Proposal (other than through this irrevocable proxy) or
grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of its
Securities to vote with respect to any Subject Proposal, deposit any of its
Securities into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this
Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any person, directly or
indirectly, to vote with respect to any such Subject Proposal, grant any proxy
or give instructions (other than in this Agreement) with respect to the voting
of such Securities with respect to any Subject Proposal.

          SECTION 2.01. Representations and Warranties of Parent and
Purchaser. Parent and Purchaser hereby represent and warrant to each
Stockholder that they have the corporate power and authority to enter into

Each Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Purchaser as
follows:

          (a) Ownership of Securities and Options. Such Stockholder is the
record and beneficial owner of the Existing Securities set forth opposite its
name on the signature pages hereto. To such Stockholder's knowledge, such
Existing Securities are, and the Company Common Stock upon issuance or receipt
will be, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. On the date hereof,
such Existing Securities constitute all of the Securities owned of record or
beneficially by such Stockholder. Such Stockholder has, with respect to such
Existing Securities, or will have, with respect to any other Securities of
such Stockholder, sole voting power, sole power of disposition and sole power
to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement with respect to all
of such Securities, with no restrictions, subject to applicable securities

On the date hereof, such Stockholder has, and at all times during the
term hereof, such Stockholder will have with respect to such Securities to be
sold on such date, good, valid and marketable title to such Securities, free
and clear of all claims, liens, encumbrances, security interests and charges
of any nature whatsoever (other than the encumbrance created by this
Agreement), and shall not be subject to any preemptive right of any
stockholder of the Company. The sale of such Stockholder's Securities to
Parent hereunder will transfer to Parent good, valid and marketable title to
such Securities, free and clear of all claims, liens, encumbrances, security
interests, rights of first refusal and charges of any nature whatsoever.

          (b) Power; Binding Agreement. Such Stockholder has the legal
capacity, power and authority to enter into and perform all of its obligations
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, power and authority to
sell, assign, transfer and deliver its Securities to Parent pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder have been duly and validly
authorized and no other actions or proceedings on the part of such Stockholder
are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions
contemplated herein. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by such Stockholder will not violate any other agreement to which such
Stockholder is a party including, without limitation, any voting agreement,
stockholders agreement or voting trust. This Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in
accordance with its terms.

          (c) No Conflicts. (i) No filing with, and no permit, authorization,
consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity is necessary for the execution
of this Agreement by such Stockholder and the consummation by such Stockholder
of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder nor the consummation by such
Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by such
Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof shall (A) conflict with or
result in any breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation,
by-laws or other governing documents, if any, if such Stockholder is not an
individual, (B) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or
without notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third
party right of termination, cancellation, material modification or
acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note,
bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or
obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder
or any of its properties or assets may be bound or (C) violate any order,
writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such
Stockholder or any of its properties or assets.

          (d) There is no suit, action, investigation or proceeding pending
or, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, threatened against such Stockholder
at law or in equity before or by any Governmental Entity that could reasonably
be expected to materially impair the ability of such Stockholder to perform
its obligations hereunder on a timely basis, and there is no agreement,
commitment or law to which such Stockholder is subject that could reasonably
be expected to materially impair the ability of such Stockholder to perform
its obligations hereunder on a timely basis.

          (e) No Claims. Such Stockholder in its capacity as a stockholder,
director, officer or employee of the Company or in any other capacity, has no
knowledge of any Claims (as defined hereinafter) that it may have against the
Released Parties (as defined hereinafter).

part of a "group" as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

                               Certain Covenants

          SECTION 3.01. Certain Covenants of each Stockholder. Each
Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

          (a) No Solicitation. Such Stockholder shall not, and shall not
authorize or permit any stockholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate,
representative or agent of such Stockholder to, directly or indirectly, (i)
solicit, facilitate, initiate, entertain, encourage or take any action to
facilitate, initiate, entertain or encourage any inquiries or communications
or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes or may constitute an
Acquisition Proposal or a Transfer of any of the Securities, (ii) participate
or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information
to or take any other action with the intent to facilitate the efforts of, any
person concerning any possible Acquisition Proposal or a Transfer of any of
the Securities or any inquiry or communication which might reasonably be
expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal or a Transfer of any of the
Securities or (iii) agree to or endorse, or release any third party from any
obligation under any existing standstill agreement or arrangement relating to,
any Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to
make or implement any Acquisition Proposal. If such Stockholder or any
representative or agent of such Stockholder receives an inquiry or proposal
with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any Transfer of Securities, then
such Stockholder shall promptly inform Parent of the terms and conditions, if
any, of such inquiry or proposal and the identity of the person making it.
Such Stockholder shall, and shall cause its representatives or agents to,
immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities,
discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect
to any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 3.01(a) shall limit the ability of any individual who is a director or
officer of the Company to take any of the actions described in Section 7.8(b)
of the Merger Agreement (but only to the extent permitted in Section 7.8(b) of
the Merger Agreement) in his capacity as a director or officer of the Company.

          (b) Restriction on Transfer, Proxies and Non-Interference. Such
Stockholder hereby agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, and except as
contemplated hereby, not to (i) Transfer any of the Securities or any interest
therein, (ii) grant any proxies with respect to any Securities or deposit any
Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect
to any Securities, or (iii) take any action that would make any representation
or warranty of such Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have
the effect of preventing or disabling such Stockholder from performing its
obligations under this Agreement, or that would otherwise hinder or delay
Parent from acquiring a majority of the outstanding Securities. Any action
described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) in violation of this
Agreement shall be void ab initio.

this Agreement is in effect, to promptly notify Parent of the number of any
new Securities acquired by such Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof.

          (d) Cooperation. Such Stockholder will not take any action, which
could reasonably (i) result in any restriction on or delay in the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, any related
agreements or this Agreement or (ii) render any of such transactions
undesirable or impractical for Parent.

          (e) Dissenter's Rights. Such Stockholder agrees that it will not

have under any applicable law with respect to any transaction contemplated by
the Merger Agreement or any related agreement.

the Company's transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect
to all of the Existing Securities (and that this Agreement places limits on
the voting and transfer of such shares).

          SECTION 3.03. Public Announcements. Each Stockholder shall consult
with Parent before issuing, and shall first provide Parent the reasonable
opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public
statements with respect to the existence or terms of this Agreement, the
Merger and the other Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release
or make any such public statement without the prior written consent of Parent,
except to the extent necessary in response to a judicial or similar
investigative inquiry (including a discovery request in a lawsuit), in which
case such Stockholder shall make such disclosure pursuant thereto only after
first providing reasonable notice to Parent and affording Parent the
opportunity to seek to limit, prevent or protect such disclosure.

          SECTION 3.04. Reasonable Best Efforts; Further Assurances. (a) Each
Stockholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and
cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or
advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner
practicable, the Merger and the other Transactions.

          (b) Each Stockholder shall, from time to time, execute and deliver,
or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional or further consents,
documents and other instruments and shall take all such further actions as
Parent or Purchaser may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively
carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger
Agreement and any other related agreements.

substance thereof) with Governmental Authorities with respect to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

before the Expiration Date of the Offer, each Stockholder agrees to cause the
conversion of all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company
beneficially owned by such Stockholder into shares of Company Common Stock in

contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not
affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The terms
"hereof", "herein", "hereby", and derivative or similar words refer to this
entire Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, words of any gender
include each other gender, and words using the singular or plural number also
include the plural or singular number, respectively. Whenever the words
"include", "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be
deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation".

          SECTION 4.05. Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of
law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or
legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any
manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties
hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect
the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable
manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the

          SECTION 4.06. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the related

matter hereof and thereof.

          SECTION 4.07. Assignment. This Agreement may not and shall not be
assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Parent and Purchaser

assigning party of its obligations hereunder. Any assignment in violation of
this Agreement shall be void ab initio.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each
party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to
confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective
successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under
or by reason of this Agreement.

          SECTION 4.09. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any
right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or
acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement
herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and
remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

          SECTION 4.10. Governing Law; Enforcement. This Agreement and the
rights and duties of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. The parties agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement or any related agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the
parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches
of this Agreement or any related agreement and to enforce specifically the
terms and provisions of this Agreement or any related agreement in any Federal
or state court sitting in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition, each
of the parties hereto, (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal
jurisdiction of any Federal or state court sitting in the State of Delaware in
the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any related agreement or
any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) agrees that it will not
attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any
action relating to this Agreement or any related agreement or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby in any court other than any Federal or state
court sitting in the State of Delaware and (d) waives any right to trial by
jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement or
any related agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.

          SECTION 4.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original
but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
