                    -------------------------------------------

former holders of Company Stock Options in accordance with Section 2.9(d) above
at such time, (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Aggregate
Merger Consideration in respect of such certificate or Company Stock Option
would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority)
any such cash, shares, dividends or distributions payable in respect of such
certificate or Company Stock Option shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, become the property of Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims
or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

     REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF PURCHASER AND MERGER SUB

     Each of Purchaser and Merger Sub represent and warrant to the Company as
follows:

     SECTION 4.1   ORGANIZATION, QUALIFICATIONS AND OPERATIONS. Each of the
Purchaser and Merger Sub is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with
all requisite power and authority (corporate and other) to own, operate and
lease its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.
Purchaser is qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in
each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of property by it or the
conduct of its business requires such licensing or qualification, except where
the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Merger Sub has not engaged
in any business or activities except in connection with its organization and the
negotiation and execution of this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.2   AUTHORIZATION. Each of Purchaser and Merger Sub has full
power and authority (corporate and other) to execute and deliver this Agreement
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement by each of Purchaser and Merger Sub, the performance
by Purchaser and Merger Sub of their respective obligations hereunder, and the
consummation by Purchaser and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated
hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. This
Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Purchaser and
Merger Sub and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each of Purchaser
and Merger Sub, enforceable against Purchaser and Merger Sub in accordance with
its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and
remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of
equity.

     SECTION 4.3   NO VIOLATION. Neither the execution and delivery by Purchaser
and Merger Sub of this Agreement, the performance by Purchaser or Merger Sub of
the obligations hereunder nor the consummation by Purchaser and Merger Sub of
the transactions contemplated hereby will (a) violate, conflict with or result
in any breach of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of
Purchaser or Merger Sub, (b) violate or conflict with or result in a violation
or breach of, or constitute a default (with or without due notice or lapse of
time or both) under the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond,
mortgage, indenture or deed of trust, or any license, lease or agreement to
which Purchaser or Merger Sub is a party or by which any of their respective
assets is bound, or (c) violate any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
statute, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to
Purchaser, Merger Sub or any of their respective assets, except in each case as
would not have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

                                      27
<PAGE>

     SECTION 4.4   CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. No filing or registration with, no
notice to and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of any third party
or any Governmental Authority is necessary for Purchaser or Merger Sub to enter
into this Agreement or for the consummation by Purchaser or Merger Sub of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement except under the FBCA and except
where the failure to obtain such consents or approvals would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Purchaser Material
Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 4.5   BROKERS. Neither Purchaser, Merger Sub nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents has employed any investment
banker, broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.

     SECTION 4.6   FINANCING. At the Proxy Mailing Date (as defined in Section

funds and/or commitments (the "Financing Commitments") from one or more of
                               ---------------------
Purchaser's current shareholders and/or other Persons (including Affiliates of
such shareholders) of similar financial capability, including affiliates of
Purchaser's current shareholders (the "Purchaser Investors"), in the aggregate
                                       -------------------
sufficient to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including without
limitation, payment in full of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, net of

the Purchaser shall have provided the Company with an officer's certificate (a)

commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy such closing conditions.

     SECTION 5.3   ACCESS TO INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY. Between the date

properties, contracts, books and records, and will cause their

                                      29
<PAGE>

respective officers and employees to furnish to Purchaser and its
representatives any and all data and information pertaining, directly or
indirectly, to the Company or the Subsidiaries that Purchaser shall from time to
time reasonably request, and shall permit Purchaser and its representatives to
make extracts and copies thereof. Any information obtained by Purchaser shall be
held subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality
Agreement dated as of May 15, 2001 between the Purchaser and the Company (the
"Confidentiality Agreement").
 -------------------------

     SECTION 5.4   PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. The parties hereto will consult with
each other and will mutually agree (the agreement of each party not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) upon the content and timing of
any press releases or other public statements with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and neither party shall issue any such press
release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and
agreement, except as may be required by applicable law or by obligations
pursuant to any listing agreement with any securities exchange or any stock
exchange regulations as advised by counsel; provided, however, that each party
will give prior notice to the other parties of the content and timing of any
such press release or other public statement required by applicable law or by
obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any securities exchange or
any stock exchange regulations.

     SECTION 5.5   ACQUISITION PROPOSAL.

               (a)  From and after the date hereof, without the prior written
consent of Purchaser, the Company shall not and will cause its Subsidiaries and
its and its Subsidiaries' respective officers, directors, agents and
representatives including the Financial Advisor (collectively,
"Representatives") not to, (i) directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or
 ---------------
encourage (including by way of furnishing information or assistance) or take any
other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal which
constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal,
(ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any
Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information
or data to any Person relating to any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however,
nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and
disclosing to its shareholders a position with respect to an unsolicited tender
offer pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 under the Exchange Act. The Company
shall immediately cease and terminate any existing solicitation, initiation,
encouragement, activity, discussion or negotiation with any Persons conducted
heretofore by it or its Representatives with any Persons other than Purchaser
and its Affiliates and shall demand the return or destruction of any
confidential information previously provided to any third party in connection
therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 5.5 or in any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and
the Company Board may ask questions of, consider and clarify a proposal from,
and conduct a due diligence investigation of (but not negotiate with or provide
any information to, without the Purchaser's prior written consent) any third
party making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal (a "Potential Acquirer"),
                                                     ------------------
solely for the purpose of evaluating such Acquisition Proposal, if the Company
Board or any committee thereof determines, after consultation with the Financial
Advisor and the

                                      30
<PAGE>

Company's legal counsel, that (A) such third party has submitted to the Company
an Acquisition Proposal which has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in a
Superior Proposal (as defined in Section 5.5(d)), and (B) the failure to
participate in such process would be inconsistent with the Company Board's
fiduciary duties under applicable law. In the event that the Company shall
determine to enter into the process described above, or shall receive any
Acquisition Proposal, it shall promptly inform Purchaser in writing as to the
identity of the Potential Acquirer and the material terms of such Acquisition
Proposal. If the Company, after consultation with the Financial Advisor and the
Company's legal counsel, determines that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior
Proposal, and the failure to consider such Acquisition Proposal would be
inconsistent with the Company Board's fiduciary duties under applicable law,
then it shall promptly notify Purchaser of such determination, and the Company
and the Company Board, if the Company has complied with the provisions of this
Section 5.5, may participate in discussions or negotiations (including, as a
part thereof, making any counterproposal) with the Potential Acquirer. In the
event that the Company shall determine to provide any information to such
Potential Acquirer following its determination that such Acquisition Proposal is
a Superior Proposal it shall promptly (within two business days) inform
Purchaser in writing as to the fact that information is to be provided. The
Company agrees that any non-public information furnished to a Potential Acquirer
will be pursuant to a confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to
the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement. The Company will keep the
Purchaser apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations
(including the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal) on a current
basis.

               (b)  (i)  Subject to Section 5.5(c) below, neither the Company
Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or publicly propose to
withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Purchaser, the approval or
recommendation by the Company Board or committee thereof of this Agreement and
the Merger unless a breach of Section 4.6 has occurred and remains uncured for a
period of ten business days.

                    (ii) Notwithstanding Section 5.5(b)(i) above, the Company
Board (or any committee thereof) may withdraw or modify its approval or
recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger, even if a breach of Section 4.6
has not occurred and remain uncured, if the Company has complied with the
provisions of this Section 5.5, in the event that the Company Board (or any
committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the
Financial Advisor and the Company's legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal
is a Superior Proposal, and that the failure to take such action would be
inconsistent with the Company Board's or any such committee's fiduciary duties
under applicable law.

               (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there
exists a Superior Proposal before the Company Board or any committee thereof and
in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company Board (or such committee),
after consultation with outside corporate counsel to the Company, the failure to
accept such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of
the Company Board (or such committee) to the Company Stockholders under
applicable law, the Company Board (or such committee) may pursuant to

                                      31
<PAGE>

Section 9.1(f) (and subject to this sentence) terminate this Agreement and
concurrently with such termination, cause the Company to enter into an
acquisition agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however,
that prior to any such action, the Company shall (A) notify Purchaser in writing
that it intends to enter into an agreement relating to a Superior Proposal
(which notice shall include the most recent draft of such Superior Proposal),
(B) during the five business days following the Company's notice (or such longer
period as agreed to by the parties), the Company shall negotiate in good faith
with Purchaser to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of such
Agreement such that the Acquisition Proposal is no longer a Superior Proposal,
and (C) pay the Termination Fee to Purchaser in full and in immediately
available funds.

               (d) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Superior Proposal" means
any bona fide written proposal (or its most recent amended or modified terms, if
amended or modified) made by a Potential Acquirer to enter into an Acquisition
Proposal, the effect of which would be that (i) the Company Stockholders would
beneficially own less than 50% of the voting stock, common stock and
participating stock of the combined or on-going entity, or (ii) the transaction
would result in the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and
which the Company determines in its good faith judgment, based on among other
things, the advice of the Financial Advisor, if consummated, would result in a
transaction more favorable to the Company Stockholders from a financial point of
view than the Merger, taking into account all relevant factors (including
whether, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after obtaining the
advice of the Financial Advisor, the Potential Acquirer is reasonably able to
finance the transaction and whether such transaction is reasonably capable of
being completed, and any proposed changes to this Agreement that may be proposed
by the Purchaser in response to such Acquisition Proposal). An Acquisition
Proposal that is conditioned on due diligence may constitute a Superior Proposal
if it otherwise meets the foregoing definition.

               (e) During the period from the date of this Agreement through the
Effective Time, the Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any
provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement (other than any entered
into in the ordinary course of business not in connection with any possible
Acquisition Proposal) to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party.

     SECTION 5.6 CONSENTS, APPROVALS AND FILINGS. Purchaser and the Company will
as promptly as practicable make and cause their respective Subsidiaries and, to
the extent necessary, their other Affiliates to make all necessary filings,
including, without limitation, those required under applicable Securities Laws
in order to facilitate the prompt consummation of the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, Purchaser and the
Company will each use their respective commercially reasonable efforts, and will
cooperate fully and in good faith with each other, (a) to comply as promptly as
practicable with all governmental requirements applicable to the Merger and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain as promptly
as practicable all necessary permits, orders or

                                      32
<PAGE>

other consents of Governmental Authorities and consents of all third parties
necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Purchaser and the Company shall use
their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide such
information and communications to Governmental Authorities as such Governmental
Authorities may reasonably request. Each of the parties hereto shall provide to
the other parties copies of all applications in advance of filing or submission
of such applications to Governmental Authorities in connection with this
Agreement and shall make such revisions thereto as reasonably requested by each
other party hereto. Each of the parties hereto shall provide to the other
parties the opportunity to participate in all meetings and material
conversations with Governmental Authorities with respect to the matters
contemplated by this Agreement.

     SECTION 5.7 POST-SIGNING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Not later than two business
days after the filing thereof with the SEC, the Company shall deliver, or shall
cause to be delivered, to Purchaser true and complete copies of all financial
statements filed by the Company with the SEC, including all exhibits, notes and
schedules thereto (the "Post-Signing Financial Statements"). In addition, the
                        ---------------------------------
Company shall, as promptly as practicable, provide to Purchaser all internally
prepared management reports and all other financial data and other information
relating to the Company and the Subsidiaries reasonably requested by Purchaser.

     SECTION 5.8 TAKEOVER STATUTES. If any takeover statute is or may become
applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, each of
Purchaser and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to grant such
approvals and to take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on
the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the
effects of any takeover statute on the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated hereby.

     SECTION 5.9 NOTICE, EFFORTS TO REMEDY. Each party hereto shall promptly
give written notice to the other parties hereto upon becoming aware of the
occurrence of any event which would cause or constitute a breach of any of the
representations, warranties or covenants of such party contained in this
Agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or promptly
remedy the same. The Company shall promptly notify Purchaser of any change,
event, circumstance or development or any prospective change, event,
circumstance or development that would reasonably be expected to have a Company
Material Adverse Effect and of the receipt by the Company or any Subsidiary of
notice of any governmental complaints, investigations or hearings (or
communications indicating that the same may be contemplated) or the receipt by
the Company or any Subsidiary of a notice of the institution or the threat of
litigation involving the Company or any Subsidiary which, individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect. Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company of any change, event,
circumstance or development or any prospective change, event, circumstance or
development that would reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material
Adverse Effect and of the receipt by the Purchaser, Merger

                                      33
<PAGE>

Sub or other Subsidiary of notice of any governmental complaints, investigations
or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated) or
the receipt by the Purchaser, Merger Sub or other Subsidiary of a notice of the
institution or the threat of litigation involving the Purchaser, Merger Sub or
other Subsidiary which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be
expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

perform all of the Company's (or its Subsidiary's) obligations under the
agreements set forth in Section 8.1 of the Disclosure Letter (the

Agreement is required to bring any action to enforce its rights thereunder or to
collect moneys due thereunder and is successful in such action, the Purchaser
shall reimburse such indemnified party for all of its expenses in bringing such
action.

               (b) The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving

Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and

thereunder of any Indemnified Party or of individuals who, immediately prior to
the Effective Time were employees or agents of the Company, unless such
modification is required by law.

               (c) The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive the
Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be
enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and
representatives.

     SECTION 8.2 DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' LIABILITY INSURANCE. Promptly after
the Company provides Purchaser with a binding quote for the Tail Policy premium
(but in no event later than the earlier of (i) 30 days after Purchaser's receipt

Purchaser shall notify the Company whether (i) the Company shall, after
consultation with Purchaser, purchase a policy of officers' and directors'

Time for claims arising from facts or events that occurred prior to the
Effective Time (the "Tail Policy"); or (ii) the Purchaser shall, at no cost to
                     -----------

                         --------------------

shall amend, modify or terminate the Tail Policy prior to the expiration of the
aforesaid six-year period.

assigns (x) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be
the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or
merger or (y) transfers a material amount of its properties and assets to any
person in a single transaction or a series of transactions, then, and in each
case, the Purchaser will make or cause to be made proper provision so that the
successors and assigns of the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as the case
may be, assume the indemnification and insurance obligations described herein
for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and the individual insureds.

warranties contained in this Agreement or in any agreement or document delivered
in connection herewith shall survive the Closing and all such representations

so consummate by such time is due to the breach of any representation, warranty
or covenant made in this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate; or

                   (iii) if, at the Company Stockholder Meeting (including any
adjournment or postponement thereof), the Company Stockholder Approval shall not

tender or exchange offer; or

               (d) by Purchaser if a breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement
shall have occurred which if uncured would cause any condition set forth in
Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) not to be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of
being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within ten
(10) business days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such
breach from Purchaser; or

               (e) by the Company if (i) a breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser set forth in this
