Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, among other things, the Trusts granted
Patriot an irrevocable proxy to vote a number of shares owned by them equal to
19.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company in favor of the
adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the merger provided for in the
Merger Agreement (the "Merger"), agreed not to dispose of Common Stock
beneficially owned by them (subject to certain exceptions) and agreed to certain
other covenants, certain of which are applicable only upon the occurrence of the
Merger. The foregoing summary of the Shareholders Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Shareholders Agreement filed as Exhibit 5 hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.
