Dear Sirs:
Reference is made to the Agreement of Merger, dated as of October 16,

not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them
in the Merger Agreement.
In consideration of the execution of the Merger Agreement, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that,
without the prior written consent of Parent, the undersigned will not, directly
or indirectly, (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or
enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected
to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any
shares of Parent Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Parent
Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and shares of Parent Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of
any Company Option) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
Parent Common Stock owned by the undersigned on the date of execution of this
Lock-Up Letter Agreement or on the date on which the Effective Time occurs (the
"Effective Date"), or (2) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or
risks of ownership of such shares of Parent Common Stock, whether any such
transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of
the shares of Parent Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, for
a period of 45 days after the Effective Date.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent and its transfer agent are
hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer
would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
It is understood that if the Merger Agreement does not become effective,
or if the Merger Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive
termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery
of the shares of Parent Common Stock, the undersigned will be released from its
obligations under this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
