Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

In addition, each Holder hereby agrees that all Holder Stock acquired by such Holder shall be deemed Stockholder Shares for all purposes of the Agreement and such Holder will be deemed to be a CP IV Holder.

2.   Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this Joinder shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns and each Holder and any subsequent holders of Holder Stock and the respective successors and assigns of each of them, so long as they hold any shares of Holder Stock.

3.   Counterparts.  This Joinder may be executed in separate counterparts each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
