Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Pergamon Enhanced Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Robert Rosenkranz (collectively, the “Stockholders”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as such term is defined below).
 
W I T N E S S E T H:
 
WHEREAS, the Company and Buyer are, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which at the Closing an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”);
 
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Stockholder owns of record, or has the power to vote, the outstanding shares listed above such Stockholder’s name on the signature page hereto (the “Existing Shares”);
 
WHEREAS, each Stockholder wishes to undertake certain obligations to Buyer and the Company with respect to such Stockholder’s Existing Shares and any other shares that such Stockholder may become the owner of record of, or with respect to which such Stockholder obtains the power to vote, after the date of this Agreement and which would have been Existing Shares if owned, or if such Stockholder had the power to vote or direct the vote of such shares, on the date of this Agreement (all such shares, together with the Existing Shares, the “Total Shares”);
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
 
VOTING
 
SECTION 1.1.  Agreement to Vote.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Stockholder agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.1, at the Stockholders Meeting or any other meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which any of the matters described below in Section 1.1(b) are to be voted upon, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of the Company with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1.1(b), such Stockholder shall:
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
(a)           appear at each such meeting (in person or by proxy) or otherwise cause all Total Shares owned of record by such Stockholder, or with respect to which such Stockholder has the power to vote or direct the vote, in each case as of the record date used for determining the holders of shares entitled to vote at such meeting or to deliver such consent (the “Record Date”) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and
 
(b)           vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or deliver a written consent (or cause a consent to be delivered) covering, all Total Shares owned of record by such Stockholder or as to which such Stockholder has the power to vote or direct the vote, in each case as of the Record Date, (i) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Certificate Amendment and any other action of the Company’s stockholders requested by the Company in furtherance thereof, (ii) against any action, agreement or transaction submitted for approval of the stockholders of the Company that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement or such Stockholder contained in this Agreement; and (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal or any other action, agreement or transaction submitted for approval to the stockholders of the Company that would reasonably be expected to materially impede or interfere with, delay, postpone or materially and adversely affect the Merger, the Merger Agreement or this Agreement; provided that this Agreement shall be subject to the Voting Agreement, dated May 13, 1997, by and between the Company and Robert Rosenkranz (the “Existing Voting Agreement”).
 
SECTION 1.2.  No Inconsistent Agreements.  Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, other than the Existing Voting Agreement and except as set forth on the signature page hereof and except for actions taken in furtherance of this Agreement, such Stockholder (a) has not entered, and shall not enter at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Total Shares owned of record by such Stockholder or with respect to which such Stockholder has the power to vote  or direct the vote and (b) has not granted, and shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, a consent or power of attorney with respect to such Stockholder’s Total Shares, other than to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1.
 
SECTION 1.3.  Proxy.  Each Stockholder agrees, if requested, to grant to Buyer a proxy, in such form as is reasonably acceptable to such Stockholder and Buyer, to vote the Total Shares owned of record by such Stockholder or with respect to which such Stockholder has the power to vote as indicated in Section 1.1 above if such Stockholder fails for any reason to vote such shares in accordance with Section 1.1 (which proxy shall be limited to the matters set forth in Section 1.1).  Each Stockholder agrees that such a proxy would be coupled with an interest and irrevocable for so long as this Agreement is in effect, and such Stockholder will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the intent of such proxy.  Any such proxy shall automatically terminate at the time of termination of this Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
SECTION 2.1.  Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders.  Except as set forth on the signature page hereof, each Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and the Company as follows as of the date hereof:
 
(a)           Authorization; Validity of Agreement; Necessary Action.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Buyer and the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles).

(c)           No Violation.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement will not, (i) to its knowledge, cause a violation by such Stockholder of any Laws applicable to such Stockholder or by which any of such Stockholder’s Existing Shares is bound or (ii) conflict with, result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or require payment under, or result in the creation of any Lien on the properties or assets of such Stockholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or by which any of such Stockholder’s Existing Shares is bound, except for any of the foregoing as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially impair the ability of such Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.
