   WHEREAS, the Equity Investors collectively are holders of at least 50% of
the shares of Common Stock held by the parties to the Investors' Agreement at   
the time of this Amendment No. 2; and                                           

    WHEREAS, terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings given such terms in the Investors' Agreement.               

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of      
which is hereby acknowledged, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as 
follows:                                                                        

    The following shall be added to Section 5.3 of the Investors' Agreement as
the second paragraph thereof:                                                   

       In the event that any or all of the Shareholders executes a lock-up
   agreement in favor of the underwriter or underwriters for an Underwritten
Public Offering substantially consistent with the preceding paragraph 
(each, a "Lock-Up Agreement"), each Equity Investor that executes a   
    Lock-Up Agreement agrees, and their Permitted Transferees will agree, that
if it seeks a waiver of the Lock-Up Agreement (a "Waiver Request"), it
   will notify the other Shareholders that have executed a Lock-Up Agreement
   at least five days prior to making such Waiver Request that it intends to
  make a Waiver Request (the "Waiver Notice"). From the date of the Waiver
Notice, each Shareholder shall have the right, exercisable by written 
 notice given to the party making the Waiver Request within two Business
Days, to request that the Waiver Request include Shares held by the   
Shareholder and if such a request is made, the Waiver Request shall   
    include all Shares so requested to be included, provided that the Transfer
of the Shares requested to be included in the Waiver Request would    
otherwise be permitted under this Agreement. If the underwriter or    
underwriters in whose favor the Lock-Up Agreement is given refuses to 
 grant such Waiver Request for all Shares included therein, then each of
  the Equity Investors agrees, and their Permitted Transferees will agree,
that all Lock-Up Agreements will continue in full force and effect.   
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Waiver Request may be sought without 
 seeking a waiver of the Lock-Up Agreement for other Shareholders by (1)
    any of the THL Entities for a Transfer set forth in Section 4.1(a)(ii) and
   (iv) hereof and (2) any Institutional Shareholder to Transfer Shares to a
Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 3.3(a) hereof.
