and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted.
The Company has previously made available to the Purchasers, or shall make available to the
Purchasers prior to the Closing Date, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers, copies of
the organizational documents, each as amended to date, of each Subsidiary of the Company. Such
copies are true, correct and complete and in full force and effect. Each such Subsidiary is duly
licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or leasing
and operation of its properties and assets and the conduct of its business as it is now being
conducted requires such Subsidiary to be so licensed or qualified, except where the failure to be
so licensed or qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Set forth on Schedule
4.7 is a list of the jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation of each such
Subsidiary. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 and as listed above, none of the Company
and the Subsidiaries of the Company own, or have the right to acquire, any shares of stock or any
equity interest in any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or any other Person.

          (b) The outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary of the Company have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in violation
of any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal or first offer. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.7, (i) each Subsidiary of the Company is wholly-owned of record and beneficially
by the Company or another wholly-owned Subsidiary and (ii) the ownership interests of the Company

     4.13 Employee Benefit Plans and Other Agreements. 

          (a) Disclosure; Delivery of Copies of Relevant Documents and Other Information.
Schedule 4.13 contains a complete list of (i) Employee Plans which cover present or former
employees, directors or consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (with respect to
their relationship with such entities); (ii) Employee Plans which cover or have covered present or
former employees, directors or consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (with respect
to their relationship with such entities) with respect to which any unsatisfied liability exists;
and (iii) Pension Plans covered by Title IV of ERISA or Multiemployer Plans which cover or have
covered within the past five (5) years present or former employees, directors or consultants of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (with respect to their relationship with such entities).

          (b) Employee Plans. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.13, the Company
represents and warrants with respect to the Employee Plans listed on Schedule 4.13 as
follows:

     (i) Pension Plans.

          (A) To the Knowledge of the Company in reliance on its enrolled actuary, the
funding method used in connection with each Pension Plan which is subject to the
minimum funding requirements of ERISA is acceptable and the actuarial assumptions
used in connection with funding each such plan are reasonable. No “accumulated
funding deficiency” (for which an excise tax is due or would be due in the absence
of a waiver) as defined in Section 412 of the Code or as defined in Section
302(a)(2) of ERISA, whichever may apply, has been

13

 

incurred with respect to any Pension Plan with respect to any plan year,
whether or not waived. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to
pay when due any “required installment”, within the meaning of Section 412(m) of the
Code and Section 302(e) of ERISA, whichever may apply, with respect to any Pension
Plan. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is subject to any lien imposed
under Section 412(n) of the Code or Section 302(f) of ERISA, whichever may apply,
with respect to any Pension Plan. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has
any liability for unpaid contributions with respect to any Pension Plan.

          (B) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to provide security
to any Company Pension Plan under Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

          (C) The form of each Pension Plan and each related trust agreement, annuity
contract, or other funding instrument that is intended to be qualified is qualified
in form and tax-exempt under the provisions of Code Sections 401(a) (or 403(a), as
appropriate) and 501(a) and has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the
“IRS”) to be so qualified in form from its adoption date if such a
determination is required.

          (D) Each Company Pension Plan and each related trust agreement, annuity
contract or other funding instrument presently complies and has been maintained in
compliance, in all material respects, with its terms and, both as to form and in
operation, with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules
and regulations which are applicable to such plans, including without limitation
ERISA and the Code, except where such noncompliance has been corrected pursuant to
the terms of or in a manner consistent with the principles under the IRS Employee
Plans Compliance Resolution System, or is not reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (E) The Company has paid all premiums (and interest charges and penalties for
late payment, if applicable) due the PBGC with respect to each Pension Plan for each
plan year thereof for which such premiums are required. Neither the Company nor any
ERISA Affiliate has engaged in, or is a successor or parent corporation to an entity
that has engaged in, a transaction described in Section 4069 of ERISA. There has
been no “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043(b) of ERISA and the PBGC
regulations under such Section) with respect to any Pension Plan for which the
Company or any ERISA Affiliate has any unsatisfied liability. No filing has been
made by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate with the PBGC, and no proceeding has been
commenced by the PBGC, to terminate any Pension Plan. To the Knowledge of the
Company, no condition exists and no event has occurred that could constitute grounds
for the termination of any Pension Plan by the PBGC. Neither the Company nor any
ERISA Affiliate has any unsatisfied liability because the Company or any ERISA
Affiliate, at any time, (1) ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject
to the provisions

14

 

of Section 4062(e) of ERISA, (2) withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to
become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA, or (3) ceased making
contributions on or before the Closing Date to any Pension Plan subject to Section
4064(a) of ERISA to which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate made contributions
during the six years prior to the Closing Date.

     (ii) Multiemployer Plans. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has, at
any time within the last 72 months, maintained, contributed to or been obligated to
maintain or contribute to, or withdrawn from, a Multiemployer Plan.

     (iii) Welfare Plans.

          (A) Each Welfare Plan presently complies and has been maintained in compliance,
in all material respects, with its terms and, both as to form and operation, with
the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations
which are applicable to such Welfare Plan, including without limitation ERISA and
the Code.

          (B) Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.13, none of the Company, any
ERISA Affiliate or any Welfare Plan has any present or future obligation to make any
payment to, or with respect to any present or former employee of the Company or any
ERISA Affiliate pursuant to, any retiree medical benefit plan, or other retiree
Welfare Plan, and no condition exists which would prevent the Company from amending
or terminating any such benefit plan or Welfare Plan.

     (iv) Unrelated Business Taxable Income. No Employee Plan (or trust or
other funding vehicle pursuant thereto) is subject to any tax under Code Section
511.

     (v) Fiduciary Duties and Prohibited Transactions. Neither the Company,
or to the Knowledge of the Company, any plan fiduciary of any Welfare Plan or
Pension Plan, has engaged in any transaction in violation of Sections 404 or 406 of
ERISA or any “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code,
for which no exemption exists under Section 408 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(2) or
(d) of the Code, or has otherwise violated the provisions of Part 4 of Title I,
Subtitle B of ERISA. The Company has not, to the Knowledge of the Company,
knowingly participated in a violation of Part 4 of Title I, Subtitle B of ERISA by
any plan fiduciary of any Welfare Plan or Pension Plan and has not been assessed any
civil penalty under Section 502(l) of ERISA.

     (vi) Validity and Enforceability. Each employee welfare benefit plan,
related trust agreement, annuity contract or other funding instrument is legally
valid and binding and in full force and effect.

15

 

     (vii) No Amendments. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.13,
neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any announced plan or legally
binding commitment to create any additional Employee Plans which are intended to
cover present or former employees, directors or consultants of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries (with respect to their relationship with such entities) or to amend
or modify any existing Employee Plan.

     (viii) No Other Material Liability. To the Knowledge of the Company, no
event has occurred in connection with which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate or
any Employee Plan, directly or indirectly, could be subject to any material
liability (A) under any statute, regulation or governmental order relating to any
Employee Plan or (B) pursuant to any obligation of the Company to indemnify any
Person against liability incurred under any such statute, regulation or order as
they relate to the Employee Plans.

     (ix) Unpaid Contributions. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate
has any liability for unpaid contributions under Section 515 of ERISA with respect
to any Multiemployer Plan.

     (x) No Acceleration or Creation of Rights. Except as disclosed on
Schedule 4.13, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Company nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will result in
the acceleration or creation of any rights of any person to benefits under any
Employee Plan.

     4.14 Taxes.

     Since September 30, 2002, except as expressly disclosed in the SEC Filings, or as set forth in
Schedule 4.14:

          (a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively
as the “Taxpayers” or individually as a “Taxpayer”) have timely filed with the
appropriate Tax authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by each of them, and such Tax
Returns are true, complete, and correct in all material respects.

          (b) The Taxpayers have duly paid in full all material Taxes that are payable by each such

          (c) There is no audit or other matter in controversy with respect to any Taxes due and owing
by any Taxpayer, and there is no Tax deficiency or claim assessed or, to the Knowledge of the
Company, proposed or threatened in writing against any Taxpayer, other than in respect of any such
audits, controversies, deficiencies, assessments, or proposed assessments that are being contested
in good faith and, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, are disclosed in Schedule
4.14.

16

 

          (d) The Taxpayers each have withheld all material Taxes required to have been withheld and
paid by them on their behalf in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent
contractor, creditor, shareholder, or other third party, and such withheld Taxes have either been
duly paid to the proper Governmental Authority or set aside in accounts for such purpose.

          (e) None of the Taxpayers (i) has waived any statutory period of limitations for the

deficiency other than in the case of any such waivers or extensions in respect of an assessment or
deficiency of Tax the liability of which has been satisfied or settled or has expired, (ii) has
filed a consent under Internal Revenue Code Section 341(f) concerning collapsible corporations, or

1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law), as a transferee, successor or
by contract other than with respect to the other Taxpayers.

          (f) No claim has been made in any taxable year which remains open by an authority in a
jurisdiction where a Taxpayer does not file Tax Returns that such Taxpayer is or may be subject to
taxation by that jurisdiction.

          (g) None of the Taxpayers has agreed to or is required to make any adjustment pursuant to
Internal Revenue Code Section 481(a) by reason of a change in accounting method initiated by such
Taxpayer, and to the Knowledge of the Company, the IRS has not proposed any such adjustment or
change in accounting method.

          (h) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.14, none of the Taxpayers has any obligation
under any Tax allocation or sharing agreement, and after the Closing Date, no Taxpayer shall be a
party to, bound by or have any obligation under any Tax allocation or sharing agreement or have any
liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods prior to and including the Closing Date.

          (i) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14, none of the Taxpayers (i) has made any

          (d) Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.15 or the SEC Filings, neither the Company nor

contained in the agreements governing the use of the same and, except with respect to software
other than “shrink-wrap” or “off-the-shelf” software, as set forth on Schedule 4.20. There

ARTICLE VIII.

INDEMNIFICATION

     8.1 Survival of Representations, Etc.

     The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained
herein shall survive the Closing for a period of 30 days after the Company’s delivery to the
Purchasers of the audited financial statement for the Company and its Subsidiaries for fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006; provided, however, that termination of the survival period of any
representation or warranty shall not relieve any party of liability for any breach of any
representation or warranty as to which a claim has been asserted prior to such date of termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the covenants of the Purchasers set forth in Sections 6.8 and
6.9(b) shall survive with respect to each Purchaser for so long as such Purchaser holds Preferred
Shares, the Warrants, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares.

     8.2 Indemnification by the Company.

     The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers and their respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, advisors, agents and employees (the “Purchaser Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any and all demands, losses, damages, penalties, claims, liabilities,
obligations, actions, causes of action, and expenses (including without limitation, costs of
investigating, preparing or defending any such claim or action and reasonable legal fees and
expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), arising by reason of or resulting from (a) any breach of any
warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement, or in
any certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) any cause of action,
suit or claim brought against or made against such Indemnified Party and arising out of or
resulting from the execution, delivery, performance, breach or enforcement of this Agreement,

33

 

the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Standstill Agreement or the Amendment No. 1 to
Rights Agreement by the Company.

     8.3 Indemnification by the Purchasers.

     Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and
its Affiliates, directors, officers, advisors, agents and employees (the “Company Indemnified
Parties” and, together with the Purchasers Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and
against any and all Losses arising by reason of or resulting from any material breach of any
warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in
any certificate delivered pursuant thereto.

     8.4 Limitation on Indemnities.

     No claim may be made against an indemnifying party for indemnification pursuant to either
Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses indemnifiable pursuant
to such section exceeds $250,000; provided, however, that thereupon the Company shall become
obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the full amount of all Losses. The
aggregate amount of all Losses for which any indemnifying party and its Affiliates, collectively,
shall be required to indemnify the indemnified parties hereunder, in aggregate, pursuant to this
ARTICLE VIII shall not exceed $6,000,000.

     8.5 Defense of Claims.

     If a claim for Losses (a “Claim”) is to be made by an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified
Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party as soon as practicable
after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to
Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this ARTICLE VIII. If any lawsuit or
enforcement action is filed against any Indemnified Party hereunder, notice thereof (a “Third Party
Notice”) shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and in any event
within fifteen (15) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of
any indemnified party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification
hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual damage caused by
such failure. After receipt of a Third Party Notice, if the indemnifying party shall acknowledge
in writing to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party shall be obligated under the terms
of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, then the indemnifying party
shall be entitled, if it so elects, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such
lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the
same, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and expense unless the named parties to such action or
proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party
has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to
such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made
only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in
all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial
and defense of such lawsuit or

34

 

action and any appeal arising therefrom; and the Indemnified Party
may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action
and any appeal arising therefrom and appoint its own counsel therefor, at its own cost. The
parties shall also cooperate
with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the indemnifying party fails to assume
the defense of such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Third Party
Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering
notice to such effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense,
compromise or settlement of such claim and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate therein at its own cost. In the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the
claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the indemnifying party reasonably informed of the progress
of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

     8.6 Sole and Exclusive Remedy.

     Subject to Section 9.4 and except in the case of fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy for
breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall be
restricted to the indemnification rights set forth in this ARTICLE VIII.

ARTICLE IX.

MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1 Termination.

     Prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be terminated:

          (a) by mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchasers;

          (b) by the Purchasers or the Company if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before
December 31, 2005; provided however, that this provision shall not be available to
the Purchaser if the Company has the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(d), and
this provision shall not be available to the Company if Purchaser has the right to terminate this
Agreement under Section 9.1(c);

          (c) by the Purchasers, if there is a material breach of any representation or warranty set
forth in ARTICLE IV hereof or any covenant or agreement to be complied with or performed by the
Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Company has not cured such breach in all
material respects within 10 days following receipt of notice from the Purchasers thereof (or if
such breach is not capable of being cured in all material respects within such period, then
initiated in good faith a reasonable cure therefor); or

          (d) by the Company, if there is a material breach of any representation or
warranty set forth in ARTICLE V hereof or of any covenant or agreement to be complied with or
performed by the Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the breaching
Purchasers have not cured such breach in all material respects within 10 days following receipt
of notice from the Company thereof (or if such breach is not capable of being cured in all
material respects within such period, then initiated in good faith a reasonable cure therefor).

35

 

     9.2 In the Event of Termination.

     In the event of termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any liability or
further obligation to any other party under this Agreement (other than the obligations of the
parties pursuant to Section 9.3), provided that no such termination shall relieve any party from
liability relating to breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

     9.3 Expenses.

     Each party shall be responsible for the payment of all expenses incurred by it in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether such transactions close except
that in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), the breaching party
shall reimburse all non-breaching parties for all expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement by such non-breaching party or parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
reimburse the fees of counsel incurred by Lloyd I. Miller, III in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby up to a maximum aggregate amount of $18,000.

     9.4 Injunctive Relief.

     The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any
of the provisions of this 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 seek an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement to enforce
specifically the provisions of this Agreement, in any court of the United States or any state
thereof having jurisdiction, without the need to post a bond or other security, in addition to any
other remedy to which the parties may be entitled under this Agreement or at law or in equity.

     9.5 Assignment.

     Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by the
Company without the prior written consent of the Purchasers or by any Purchaser, without the
consent of the Company. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no other
Person shall have any right, benefit or obligation hereunder.

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Purchasers and the Company have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, as a condition to the consummation of the Purchase Agreement, the Company desires
that each Purchaser make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements as set forth
in this Agreement;

AGREEMENT

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in
the Purchase Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH PURCHASER

     To induce the Company to enter into this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the other
documents contemplated hereby and thereby, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, separately and not jointly, as
follows:

     1.1 Binding Agreement.

     The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Purchaser and the
consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action on the part of such Purchaser. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser, and, assuming the valid
authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Company, is a valid and binding obligation of
such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other similar
laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general
principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity).

1

 

     1.2 Execution; No Violations. 

     The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Purchaser does not, and the consummation
by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not: (a) violate or conflict with
the organizational documents of such Purchaser or any agreement, order, injunction, decree, or
judgment to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser or any of its respective
properties is bound; or (b) violate any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Purchaser.

     1.3 Governmental and Other Consents. 

     No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, registration, declaration or filing
with, any governmental entity or third Person is required on the part of such Purchaser in
connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except such filings as may be necessary to disclose the
acquisition of additional securities of the Company by Purchasers that are required to report their
ownership and changes in such ownership under applicable securities laws, or to disclose the
existence of this Agreement.

     1.4 Share Ownership. 

     Each Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser understands the terms and conditions of that
certain Rights Agreement, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust, dated
January 21, 2004, and that certain Amendment No. 1 to Rights Agreement to be effective
contemporaneously with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the Rights
Agreement, as amended by such Amendment No. 1 to Rights Agreement, the “Rights Agreement”).
Schedule 1.4 lists, in each case without giving effect to the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement, (i) the name of each Purchaser, (ii) the number shares of Common Stock (as
defined in the Rights Agreement) which such Purchaser, directly or indirectly, owns or has the
right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time)
pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) or upon the
exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, (iii)
the name of each Affiliate (as defined in the Rights Agreement) and each Associate (as defined in
the Rights Agreement) of such Purchaser, and (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock each such
Affiliate and Associate, directly or indirectly, owns or has the right to acquire (whether such
right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement,
arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) or upon the exercise of conversion rights,
exchange rights, rights, warrants or options, or otherwise. Except as set forth on Schedule
1.4, such Purchaser and its Affiliates and Associates does not own any voting securities of
Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any voting
securities of the Company, or which, upon redemption thereof, could result in such Purchaser or any
of its Affiliates receiving any voting securities, or options, warrants, contractual rights or
other rights of any kind to acquire or vote any voting securities of the Company (collectively, the
“Voting Securities”), except those voting securities acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
or issuable upon exchange, conversion or exercise (as

2

 

applicable) of the securities of the Company acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the
“Company Securities”).

ARTICLE II.

STANDSTILL ARRANGEMENTS

     2.1 Prohibited Actions. 

     Each Purchaser hereby agrees that prior to the Termination Date, neither such Purchaser nor
any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, solicit, request, advise, assist or encourage
others to, take any of the following actions:

          (a) form, join in or in any other way participate in a “partnership, limited partnership,
syndicate or other group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect
to Voting Securities or deposit any Voting Securities in a voting trust or similar arrangement or
subject any Voting Securities to any voting agreement or pooling arrangement with respect to the
Company Securities, other than (i) with one or more Affiliates of such Purchaser, or (ii) with
respect to matters presented to the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.1(b);

          (b) seek to call, or request the call of, a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company
or seek to make, or make, a stockholder proposal at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company
that has not first been presented to the Board of Directors at least 60 days, but not more than 120
days, prior to such meeting;

          (c) commence, or announce any intention to commence, any tender offer for any Voting
Securities, except following an announcement by any unaffiliated third party of an intention to
make, or the commencement of, such a tender offer;

          (d) except as approved in advance by the Board of Directors, make, announce any intention or
desire to make, or facilitate the making public or public disclosure of, any proposal or bid with
respect to (i) the acquisition of any substantial portion of the assets of the Company or of the
assets or stock of any of its subsidiaries or of all or any portion of the outstanding Voting
Securities, or (ii) any merger, consolidation, other business combination, restructuring,
recapitalization, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, provided, however, that if a Purchaser supports, agrees to vote in favor of or to
tender securities into, or announces support for a bona fide third party proposal not solicited or
arranged by such Purchaser after the proposal has been publicly announced, such actions shall not
constitute “facilitating” such proposal for purposes of this Section 2.1(d);

          (e) amend or repeal, or seek to amend or repeal, any anti-takeover provisions adopted by the
Company, including the Rights Agreement, dated January 21, 2004, between the Company and American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company (as amended in accordance with its terms), provided that voting in
favor of such a repeal, if proposed by persons not affiliated with

3

 

any of the Purchasers, shall not violate this Section 2.1(e), and all Purchasers shall be free
to vote any Voting Securities held by them as they see fit with respect to any such proposal;

          (f) arrange, or in any way participate in, any financing for any transaction referred to in
Section 2.1(a) through 2.1(e); or

          (g) make any request to the Board of Directors for, or otherwise seek (in any fashion that
would require public disclosure by the Company, such Purchaser or their respective Affiliates) to
obtain from the Company, any waiver or amendment of any provision of this Agreement prior to
November 14, 2006.

     2.2 Prohibitions on Voting Incremental Shares.

     Except as approved in advance by the Board of Directors, each Purchaser hereby agrees that
prior to the Termination Date, neither such Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or
indirectly, vote any Incremental Shares in connection with, or otherwise permit any Incremental
Shares to participate in, any “solicitation” of any “proxy” to vote any Voting Shares (other than
conducted by the Company), or in any election contest with respect to the Company (as such terms
are defined or used in Rules 14a-1 and 14a-11 under the Exchange Act). As used herein,
“Incremental Shares” means the Voting Securities beneficially owned (as such term is defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, in aggregate, in
excess of 14.99% of the outstanding Voting Securities.

ARTICLE III.

TERMINATION

     3.1 Notification of the Company. 

     Each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser will promptly notify the
Company when and if such Purchaser receives or learns of (i) any oral or written request to such
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to participate in any of the transactions or actions referred to
in Sections 2.1(a) through 2.1(g), or (ii) any oral or written communication from or by any Person
(other than the Company) with respect to any of the transactions or actions referred to in Sections
2.1(a) through 2.1(g) if such Person could reasonably be deemed to be capable of effecting,
participating in or materially assisting in such an action or transaction (through one or more
Affiliates or otherwise) and such oral or written communication was of a nature that could
reasonably be deemed to indicate a serious interest in effecting, participating in or materially
assisting in such an action or transaction.

     3.2 Termination. 

     This Agreement shall terminate with respect to a particular Purchaser on the date that such
Purchaser and its Affiliates no longer beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act) Voting Securities representing at least 5% of the outstanding Voting
Securities of the Company (the “Termination Date”).

4

 

     3.3 Injunctive Relief.

     The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any
of the provisions of this 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 seek an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement to enforce
specifically the provisions of this Agreement, in any court of the United States or any state
thereof having jurisdiction, without the need to post a bond or other security, in addition to any
other remedy to which the parties may be entitled under this Agreement or at law or in equity.
