Under the Stockholders Agreement, any time that a Warburg Pincus Designee is entitled to serve as a director of the Company, the Company is obligated to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such Warburg Pincus Designee to be appointed or elected to its Board of Directors. -2- Neither the Series B Preferred Stock, the Adjustable Warrant, the March 15 Warrants, the Securities Purchase Warrants nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise (as applicable) thereof are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

The Warburg Pincus Entities and the Company have entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2005 (the "Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which the Warburg Pincus Entities have agreed that they will vote all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them in favor of adoption of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 9, 2005 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Nova Acquisition Corporation ("Sub 1"), Nova Acquisition LLC ("Sub 2") and Nova Inc.

Thereafter, the Interim Surviving Corporation will be merged with and in to Sub 2 (the "Second Step Merger" and, taken together with the First Step Merger, the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Warburg Pincus Entities appointed the Board of Directors of Nova as their attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, to vote the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and against certain other corporate actions. -3- Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2005 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), by and among Warburg Pincus Entities and the Company, the Warburg Pincus Entities agreed to acquire from the Company (a) an aggregate of 14,150,943 shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to $4.24, and for an aggregate purchase price of $59,999,998.32; and (b) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,177,570 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $5.00 (the "Stock Purchase Warrants").
