Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The shares beneficially owned by Mr. Huizenga were purchased with personal funds.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On March 5, 2004, BHAC Capital IV, L.L.C. (“Parent”), BHAC Acquisition IV, Inc., (“Merger Sub”) and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of the Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, in the Merger each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than shares held in treasury by the Company) will be converted into the right to receive $19.625, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and at the effective time of the Merger, the bylaws of Merger Sub shall be the bylaws of the Company and the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time shall be the initial directors of the Company. The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver at or prior to the effective time of the Merger of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of shares of Common Stock.

Parent intends to cause the delisting of the Common Stock from the New York Stock Exchange following consummation of the Merger.

Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Huizenga and HILP entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Parent, pursuant to which Mr. Huizenga and HILP agreed to vote the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Huizenga and HILP (i) in favor of the Merger and any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) against (x) any proposal for any recapitalization, reorganization, liquidation, merger, sale of assets or other business combination between the Company and any other person (other than the Merger) and (y) any other action that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement. The Voting Agreement also prohibits Mr. Huizenga and HILP from selling or transferring the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them other than in certain permitted circumstances.

     (a) No Solicitation. Prior to any termination of this Agreement, subject to Section 7 hereof (with respect to Stockholder), each of Stockholder and Record Holder agrees that neither it nor any of its Representatives shall, directly or indirectly, solicit (including by way of furnishing information) any inquiries or the making of any proposal by any person or entity (other than Parent or any affiliate of Parent) which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. If Stockholder or Record Holder receives a bona fide inquiry or proposal with respect to the sale of Shares, then Stockholder shall promptly inform Parent of the terms and conditions, if any, of such inquiry or proposal and the identity of the person making it. Stockholder and Record Holder will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

     (b) Restriction on Transfer, Proxies and Non-Interference. Except as set forth in Section 8 hereof, each of Stockholder and Record Holder hereby agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, and except as contemplated hereby, not to (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any of the Covered Shares or Options, (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any Covered Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Covered Shares or (iii) knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder or Record Holder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling Stockholder or Record Holder from performing its obligations under this Agreement.

     (c) Each of Stockholder and Record Holder agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, to promptly notify Parent of the number of any new Shares acquired by Stockholder or Record Holder, if any, after the date hereof (including, upon exercise of Options).

     6. Further Assurances. From time to time, at the other party’s request and without further consideration, each party hereto shall take such reasonable further action as may reasonably be necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     7. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of Covered Shares, (b) nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by Stockholder acting in such person’s capacity as a director of the Company and in compliance with Section 6.04 of the Merger Agreement and (c) Stockholder shall have no liability to Parent or any of its affiliates under this Agreement or otherwise as a result of any action or inaction by Stockholder in such person’s capacity as a director of the Company and in compliance with Section 6.04 of the Merger Agreement.

provisions of applicable Law, to Stockholder’s spouse, ancestors, descendants or any trust (controlled by Stockholder) for any of their benefit or to a charitable trust (controlled by Stockholder), or up to 500,000 Covered Shares to a charitable foundation (which transfer shall not be subject to the following proviso); provided, however, that, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such transfer, each person to which any of such Covered Shares or any interest in any of such Covered Shares is or may be transferred shall have executed and delivered to Parent a counterpart of this Agreement pursuant to which such person shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and shall have agreed in writing with Parent to hold such Covered Shares or interest in such Covered Shares subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

     9. No Control. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent the right to control or direct the Company or the Company’s operations.

This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto; provided, however, that after the adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions by the stockholders of the Company no amendment shall be made except as allowed under applicable Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

     11. Non-survival of Representations and Warranties. The respective representations and warranties of Stockholder, Record Holder and Parent contained herein shall not survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement.
