Exchange Shares.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined in Section 3.1 below), each
Series D Holder agrees to surrender to the Company certificates representing
the number of shares of Series D Preferred set forth opposite such Holder’s
name on the attached Schedule I,
and the Company agrees to accept such certificates and, in exchange therefor,
issue to each such Series D Holder that number of shares of Series D-1
Preferred set forth opposite such Holder’s name on the attached Schedule
I.

2.             Series D-1
Preferred. 
The terms, limitations and relative rights, privileges and preferences
of the Series D-1 Preferred issued in connection with the transactions
contemplated by Section 1 are set forth in the Certificate of Designation,
Preferences and Rights of the Series D-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

3.             Closing,
Delivery.

3.1           Closing.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the closing of the transactions contemplated by Section 1 above (the “Closing”)
shall be made at the offices of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, LLP, 60
State Street, Boston, MA  02109 (or at
such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Series D Holders and the
Company), at 

 

 

10:00 A.M., New York City
time, on December 21, 2005 (unless another time shall be agreed to by the
Series D Holders and the Company).

3.2           Delivery.  At the Closing, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each Series D Holder shall deliver to the Company the
certificate(s) evidencing the ownership of the shares of Series D Preferred to
be surrendered by such Holder at the Closing as set forth opposite such Holder’s
name on Schedule I attached
hereto and, only in exchange therefor, the Company shall deliver to each such
Holder the certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the number of shares of
Series D-1 Preferred to be issued to each such Holder at such Closing as set
forth opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule
I attached hereto.  In the
event that any Series D Holder that is a party to this Agreement does not
deliver to the Company at the Closing certificate(s) evidencing ownership of
the Series D Preferred, the Company shall cancel any such certificates on the
Company’s books and records and the Company shall withhold delivery to any such
Holder any certificates evidencing ownership of the number of shares of Series
D-1 Preferred to be issued to such Holder at the Closing until such time as any
such Holder delivers the certificates for the Series D Preferred to the
Company.

3.3           Retirement.  All certificates evidencing Series D
Preferred shall, once surrendered to the Company for exchange in accordance
with this Agreement, be forthwith retired and canceled and shall not be
reissued, and, except as contemplated hereby, no other securities of the
Company shall be issued in place thereof, but the Company may, nevertheless,
from time to time thereafter increase its capital stock in the manner and to
the extent permitted by law and by the Company’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

4.             OCM Waiver of
Certain Provisions of the Stockholder Agreement.  Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, OCM agrees: (i) to waive its right of first refusal under
Section 4 of the Stockholders Agreement, if any, with respect to the sale by
the Company of the Shares; and (ii) to waive any breach by the Company prior to
the date hereof, if any, under Sections 2 and 3 of the Stockholders
Agreement.  OCM further agrees, if
requested, to execute an amendment to the Stockholders Agreement to reflect the
provisions of this Section 4.

5.             Waiver of
Registration Rights.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
each Series D Holder waives those provisions of the Stockholders Agreement with
respect to the undersigned’s right, if any, to register shares of the Company’s
capital stock held by each such Series D Holder under the Shelf Registration
Statement or in connection with the sale of the Shares.

6.             Registration
of Shares of Common Stock Underlying Series D-1 Preferred Stock.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement (the “Registration
Statement”) within 100 days of the date hereof covering the resale of all of
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D-1 Preferred
Stock (collectively, the “Conversion Shares”) and shares of Common Stock issued
to the Series D Holders in connection with certain dividends for the period May
12, 1999 through June 30, 1999 (the “Dividend Shares”).  The Registration Statement required hereunder
shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register
the Conversion Shares and the Dividend Shares on Form S-3, in which case such
registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith).  In addition, the Company shall prepare,
execute and file with the Commission such amendments (including pre-effective
and post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement,
as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).  The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective in
order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the
Series D Holders until the expiration of the holding period set forth in clause
(k) of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or such shorter period if
all such Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares have been sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement.   It is
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that upon effectiveness of the
aforementioned registration statement that the Company shall immediately
withdraw the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-88697).

7.             Amendment to
Stock Purchase Agreement and Stockholders Agreement.  All references to “Series D
Preferred Stock” contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Stockholders
Agreement, where applicable, shall hereafter instead mean the Series D-1
Preferred Stock.  On and after the date
hereof, each reference to “Stock Purchase Agreement” or the “Stockholders
Agreement,” as the case may be, shall mean and be a reference to those
agreements as amended hereby.  No
reference to this Section 7 need be made in any instrument or document at any
time referring to the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement, a
reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement, as
applicable, in any of such instrument or document to be deemed to be a
reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement as
amended hereby.  Except as expressly
amended by this Section 7, the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and
the Stockholders Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

8.             Reservation of
Shares of Common Stock.  The Company shall at all times take
appropriate steps to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock, shares of Common Stock for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the shares of Series D-1 into the Conversion
Shares.  If at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, the Company
shall forthwith 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 purposes. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees to seek an increase in
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance under
its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, at the
Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in fiscal year 2006.  Each Series D Holder agrees to vote, whether
in person or by proxy, in favor of such proposal when presented at the Company’s
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in fiscal year 2006.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is hereby made to
that certain letter agreement dated July 23, 1999 (as amended heretofore,
the “Letter Agreement”) between DLJ Merchant
Banking II, Inc., as successor in interest to Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation, (“DLJMB”) and
each of you (collectively, the “Company”)
pursuant to which the Company pays certain fees to DLJMB for financial advisory
services.

 

Please acknowledge below our
agreement that the Engagement Period (as defined in the Letter Agreement) is
hereby extended until the earlier of (i) August 15, 2009 and (ii) the
date that the DLJ Merchant Banking Funds no longer own in aggregate more than
50% of the equity of the Company or any successor thereto (whether by merger,
consolidation, securities purchase or otherwise).  Such extension shall apply to each other
provision of the Letter Agreement except for the Company’s obligation to engage
Credit Suisse First Boston, LLC, as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor,
placement agent, initial purchaser, managing underwriter or dealer manager with
respect to any Transaction (as defined in the Letter Agreement), which
provision shall expire in accordance with the terms of the initial Letter
Agreement in August 2004.  The
Company shall therefore have the right to select such institution as the
Company deems appropriate to act in connection with any Transaction.
