       The Bain Investors and the MDP Investors have agreed to vote their shares

A copy of the Inter-Investor Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit F and is
                                                             ---------
incorporated by reference herein. Each of the Investors have agreed between
themselves to exercise the powers and rights conferred upon them by the Purchase
Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Corporate Governance Agreement in
accordance with the provisions of the Inter-Investor Agreement. The following
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of
the Inter-Investor Agreement.

Inter-Investor Agreement
------------------------

Voting Rights. Pursuant to the terms of the Inter-Investor Agreement, the
Investors have agreed that during such time as they collectively hold the right
to elect two directors to the Issuer's board of directors and each of the Bain
Investors and MDP Investors continue to hold at least 50% of the Preferred
Stock, one representative shall be designated to serve on the board by a
majority of the Bain Investors and one representative shall be designated to
serve on the board by a majority of the MDP Investors. During such time as the
Investors have the right to elect two directors to the board and either the Bain
Investors or MDP Investors no longer hold 50% of the Preferred Shares, two
representatives shall be designated by the group of investors that has not
ceased to hold 50% of the Preferred Stock. During such time as the Investors
have the right to elect a single director to serve on the Issuer's board of
directors, the single representative shall be designated by the Bain Investors
if the Bain Investors hold a majority of the Preferred Stock, or the single
representative shall be designated by the MDP Investors if the MDP Investors
hold a majority of the Preferred Stock.

Transfer of Shares. If a holder of Preferred Stock wishes to transfer its shares
of Preferred Stock, unless such transfer is pursuant to the terms of a
redemption provision under the Certificate of Designation, pursuant to a
registered securities offering under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, or
pursuant to a public sale, the transfer of shares must be pursuant to the terms
of the Inter-Investor Agreement. Where any holder of Preferred Stock (the "First
Shareholder") contemplates a transfer of its shares and the effect of such
transfer would dispossess the other holders of Preferred Stock (the "Other
Shareholders") of existing rights under the Purchase Agreement, Registration
Rights Agreement, Corporate Governance Agreement or Certificate of Designation,
including the right to elect two directors to the Issuer's board of directors,
the First Shareholder shall

                              Page 32 of 48 Pages



notify the Other Shareholders of the terms and conditions of its proposed
transaction and the Other Shareholders shall have the opportunity to negotiate
the purchase of all of the Preferred Shares of the First Shareholder.

       As a result of the terms of the Inter-Investor Agreement, the Bain
Investors and the MDP Investors may be deemed to constitute a "group" for
purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, by virtue of
their beneficial ownership of 45,405.49 shares of Preferred Stock, the Investors
beneficially own 2,773,445 shares of Common Stock. Such 45,405.49 shares of
Preferred Stock (assuming conversion of all such 45,405.49 shares of Preferred
Stock into Common Stock) represent approximately 13.1% of the total number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as represented in the Form 10-Q. The filing
of this Statement by the Investors shall not be construed as an admission that
the Investors are, for the purpose of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the
beneficial owner of the shares held by the Investors.

       Neither the filing of this statement nor any of its contents shall be
deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial
owner of any Common Stock referred to in this statement for the purpose of
Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership
is expressly disclaimed.

       Item 7. Material to be filed as Exhibits.

       Exhibit A - Joint Filing Agreement.
       Exhibit B - Power of Attorney.
