Holder agrees not to transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares, or any
other shares of capital stock of Target acquired by Holder hereafter and prior
to the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1(a) below), and agrees to vote
the Shares and any other such shares of capital stock of Target so as to

     2.  Agreement to Vote Shares. At every meeting of the stockholders of
         ------------------------

thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders
of Target with respect to any of the following, Holder shall vote the Shares and
any New Shares (i) in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and the
Acquisition and any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the
Acquisition, and (ii) against any proposal for any recapitalization, merger,
sale of assets or other business combination (other than the Acquisition)
between Target and any person or entity other than Acquiror or any other action
or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or

opinion of Acquiror, to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

         ------------------
are reasonably required for the consummation of the Acquisition under the terms
of any agreement to which Holder is a party or pursuant to any rights Holder may
have.
