        To induce the Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the

Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), (1) offer,
pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,

shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or

that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences
of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause
(1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other
securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a)
transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in
open market transactions after the completion of the Purchase; (b) a bona fide

provided that the trustee of the trust agrees in writing, on behalf of the

affiliate of the undersigned, provided that such affiliate agrees in writing to
be bound by the terms of this agreement or (f) the transfer of an aggregate of
1,066,667 shares of Common Stock owned by the undersigned. If the donor or
transferor in (b), (c) or (d) above is a reporting person subject to Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), any gifts or
transfers made in accordance with this paragraph shall not require such person
to, and such person shall not voluntarily, file a report of such transaction on
Form 4 under the Exchange Act. As used herein, the term "immediate family" shall
mean the undersigned's spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors. The
obligations of the undersigned pursuant to this letter agreement shall terminate
immediately upon the termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with
its terms.



                                        Very truly yours,
