(b) Any vote subject to this Agreement will be cast, and any consent subject to this Agreement will be given, in accordance with the procedures relating to that vote or consent so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of that vote or consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stockholder shall not have an obligation to execute any written consent in lieu of a meeting with respect thereto for the purpose of the approval and adoption of the Transaction Agreement and the terms thereof unless the Company shall have requested that such approval and adoption be effected through the execution of any such written consent. Stockholder agrees not to enter into any agreement or commitment with any Person the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of any provisions or agreements in this Section 2. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Stockholder may vote the Subject Shares in its discretion on all matters submitted for the vote of stockholders of the Company.

In addition, Stockholder and any Subject Member may Transfer Subject Shares without restriction so long as the Subject Shares retained collectively by Stockholder and all Subject Members after the Transfer constitute at least the applicable Voting Share Amount then in effect. If a proposed Transfer of Subject Shares would drop the collective holdings of Stockholder and all of its Subject Members below the then applicable Voting Share Amount, such Transfer will only be permitted if the Transfer is made by a Subject Member for estate planning purposes and the Subject Member retains direct or indirect sole voting control over such Subject Shares owned through the date of the Stockholder Vote.
