The foregoing restrictions will not apply to Transfers to Affiliates of such Stockholder who have executed an instrument, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, agreeing to be bound by this Agreement to the same extent as such Stockholder with respect to the Subject Shares to which such Transfer relates; provided that such Stockholder shall remain liable for any failure by such Affiliate to so perform under this agreement. (b) Unless required by applicable law or in connection with any mandatory regulatory or other filings, neither such Stockholder nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall make any press release or public announcement with respect to the business or affairs of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, including this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, without the prior consent of Parent. Section 2.5 No Appraisal.

ARTICLE III GRANT OF OPTION TO PURCHASE SUBJECT SHARES Section 3.1 Grant of Option (a) Each Stockholder hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase all , but not less than all, of the Subject Shares at a price per share equal to Twenty-Six Dollars ($26.00). The Option may be exercised at any time on or prior to the date (the "Option Expiration Date") that is 10 business days after the date of the termination of the Merger Agreement if the Merger Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1(g) thereof. (b) In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent shall send a written notice to the Stockholders identifying the place and date (not less than two nor more than ten business days from the date of the notice) of the closing of such purchase (the "Option Closing"). At the Option Closing, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholders, in immediately available funds, the aggregate exercise price due for the Subject Shares against delivery of the Subject Shares to Parent. (c) If transfer of the Subject Shares upon exercise of the Option (i) requires any governmental or other approval and such approval has not been obtained, and (ii) either (A) a third party has commenced a tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party beneficially owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and fewer than five (5) business days remain before expiration of the tender offer period or (B) the stockholders of the Company have approved a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company, then Parent may elect (in its sole discretion) to have the Stockholders tender their Subject Shares and receive the consideration therefor or, in the event of a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction, take the actions necessary to receive the consideration to which the Stockholders Shares are entitled and have the Stockholders hold the proceeds in trust to be delivered to Parent upon payment of the aggregate Option exercise price to the Stockholders; provided, however, that Parent, in making such election, may require (in which case the Stockholders shall take all reasonable steps to ensure) that payment with respect to the Subject Shares (the "Share Payment") is made to Parent, and in such event Parent shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Stockholders, the aggregate exercise price within three (3) business days after Parent's receipt of the Share Payment. (d) As consideration for the Option, if the Merger is consummated or if Parent acquires one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding Company Stock within 180 days following Parent's exercise of the Option (in either case, a "Company Transaction"), then Parent shall pay, or shall cause the Company to pay, to Bear Stearns in consideration of investment banking services provided to Stockholders an aggregate amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount, if any, by which the sum of US$1,550,000 (the "Maximum Transaction Costs") exceeds the Total Post-November Transaction Costs (as hereinafter defined). As used herein, the term "Total Post-November Transaction Costs" shall mean (i) the amount of the Post-November Transaction Costs (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) plus (ii) any other costs or expenses incurred by the Company after the closing of a Company Transaction in connection with such Company Transaction. If a Company Transaction does not occur or if the Total Post-November Transaction Costs exceed the Maximum Transaction Costs, then neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to make any payment to the Stockholders in consideration for the Option.
