       lock-up agreement may be converted.

       4.     Section 6.2 of the SPA is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety as follows:

       "6.2 Lock-Up Agreement. At any time prior to the earlier of (a) November
       13, 2001 and (b) the date that the Purchasers cease collectively to
       beneficially own 10% or more of the Common Stock, the Company and its
       underwriters, by written notice from the Company and its lead underwriter
       to the Purchasers (a "Lock-up Request"), given as provided herein on or
       after the time of the initial filing with the Commission of any
       registration statement (other than a registration statement relating to
       an offering described in Section 9.1) with respect to any offering of
       Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (the
       "Offering"), may request that the Purchasers agree not to offer, sell or
       transfer any of the (i) Purchased Shares and the Option Shares, (ii)
       shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock issued as
       in-kind dividends on (x) the Purchased Shares and the Option Shares or
       (y) other shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock
       issued as in-kind dividends (such shares referred to in this clause (ii),
       "Dividend Shares") or (iii) Common Stock issued upon any conversion of
       the Purchased Shares, Option Shares and/or Dividend Shares or engage in
       any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Purchased Shares,
       Dividend Shares, Option Shares or Common Stock issued upon any conversion
       of the Purchased Shares, Option Shares and/or Dividend Shares during the
       180-day period (the "Lock-up Period") beginning on a date specified in
       the Lock-up Request, which date may be as early as five (5) Business Days
       prior to the closing date of the Offering (but no later than the closing
       date of the Offering), and each Purchaser agrees to consent to and be
       bound by the restrictions specified in any


                                       2

       such Lock-up Request; provided, however, that such a lock-up agreement
       with respect to any Offering shall not prevent any Purchaser from selling
       Purchased Shares, Dividend Shares, Option Shares or Common Stock issued
       upon any conversion of the Purchased Shares, Option Shares and/or
       Dividend Shares which it is entitled to sell in such Offering pursuant to
       Section 9.2 if it shall have made the request specified therein. The
       foregoing notwithstanding, no Lock-up Request shall be effective and
       binding upon the Purchasers unless a similar lock-up is imposed upon all
       other Persons beneficially owning 10% or more of the Common Stock with
       respect to which the Company then has the power to request or impose such
       lock-up. Any such lock-up imposed upon any other Person shall be for the
       shorter of (i) the Lock-up Period and (ii) the maximum period the Company
       has the right or power to impose upon such other Person. The Lock-up
       Period may be terminated as to the Purchasers on written notice from
       either the Company or the lead underwriter of the Offering, and
       automatically shall be terminated immediately as to the Purchasers in the
       event it is terminated as to any other Person (including the Company and
       its Affiliates) or any other Person is otherwise released from any
       lock-up obligations with respect to the Offering. The Company shall
       specify the expected effective date of any Offering by notice to the
       Purchasers given not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the
       beginning of the Lock-up Period. Each Purchaser shall cause each Person,
       together with its Affiliates, to whom it Transfers, in one or a series of
       related transactions, the equivalent of 1,000,000 or more shares of
       Common Stock (assuming conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and
       Series B Preferred Stock) to execute and deliver to the Company a letter
       agreement pursuant to which such transferee agrees (and to cause each
       other Person to whom it Transfers any shares of Common Stock if, after
       giving effect to such Transfer, such Person, together with its
       Affiliates, would beneficially own 1,000,000 or more shares of Common
       Stock (assuming conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
       Preferred Stock) to execute and deliver to the Company a similar letter
       agreement) to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.2 (including
       this sentence) to the same extent and subject to the same terms and
       conditions as the Purchasers."

       5.     Section 9.1(a) of the SPA is hereby amended by adding the
following words after the words "1,000,000 shares of Common Stock" in such
section:

       "(subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of stock splits or
       similar events) or registration of Common Stock in connection with a
       registered offering involving anticipated aggregate proceeds of at least
       $50 million,"

       6.     Section 9.1(b) of the SPA is hereby amended by adding the
following words after the words "1,000,000 shares of Common Stock" in such
section:


                                        3
<PAGE>   4


       "(subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of stock splits or
       similar events) or registration of Common Stock in connection with a
       registered offering involving anticipated aggregate proceeds of at least
       $50 million,"

       7.     Section 9.1(c) of the SPA is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety as follows:

       "(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.1, if the
       Company shall furnish to Holders who have elected to exercise their
       rights under Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) (each, an "Exercising Holder") a
       certificate signed by the President or the Chief Executive Officer of the
       Company stating that the requested registration and offering would
       require the disclosure of material non-public information and, in the
       good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, such
       disclosure in a Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section
       9.1(a) or 9.1(b), as the case may be, would be seriously detrimental to
       the Company and its stockholders and it is therefore desirable and in the
       best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration
       statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for
       a period of time after receipt of such request; provided, however, that
       the Company may not make such a request more than twice in any 12-month
       period and the aggregate period of time during which the Company may
       defer such filing shall not exceed 90 days."

       8.     Section 9.5(h) of the SPA is hereby amended by adding after the
words "take such other actions" appearing therein the following words:

       "(including, without limitation, making senior management of the Company
       available to participate in road show presentations on a customary
       basis)"

       9.     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, all of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

       10.    This Second Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the
conflicts of law principles thereof which would require the application of the
laws of another state.

       11.    If any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the
application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and
enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining
provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired, unless the provisions held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall substantially impair the benefits of the
remaining provisions hereof.

       12.    Except as expressly amended, modified and supplemented hereby, the
provisions of the SPA shall remain in full force and effect.
