SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS ELECTION SEC Rule 14b-2 requires banks which hold securities for the account of customers to respond to requests by issuers of securities for the names, addresses and holdings of beneficial owners of securities of that issuer held by the bank unless the beneficial owner has expressly objected to disclosure of this information. In order to comply with the rule, the Custodian needs the Fund to indicate whether it authorizes the Custodian to provide the Fund’s name, address, and share position to requesting companies whose securities the Fund owns. If the Fund tells the Custodian “no”, the Custodian will not provide this information to requesting companies. If the Fund tells the Custodian “yes” or does not check either “yes” or “no” below, the Custodian is required by the rule to treat the Fund as consenting to disclosure of this information for all securities owned by the Fund or any funds or accounts established by the Fund. For the Fund’s protection, the Rule prohibits the requesting company from using the Fund’s name and address for any purpose other than corporate communications. Please indicate below whether the Fund consents or objects by checking one of the alternatives below. YES ¨ The Custodian is authorized to release the Fund’s name, address, and share positions. NO x The Custodian is not authorized to release the Fund’s name, address, and share positions.
Dissenting Stockholders Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a Stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, but instead such holder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost its right to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such holder’s shares of Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration for each such share, in accordance with Section 3.1, without interest. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice and a copy of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and, at Parent’s expense, Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal by Stockholders under the DGCL, so long as Parent does not create any pre-Closing obligations of the Company. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

Additional Stockholders In connection with the issuance of any additional equity securities of the Company to any Person, the Company may permit such Person to become a party to this Agreement and succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a "Stockholder" under this Agreement by obtaining the consent of the holders of a majority of the Common Stockholder Shares and an executed counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and, upon such execution, such Person shall for all purposes be a "Stockholder" party to this Agreement.
Rights of a Stockholder Prior to the time a Restricted Share is fully vested hereunder, the Employee shall have no right to transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber such Restricted Share.

(b) The Board of Directors of the Company shall unanimously recommend such approval and shall use all reasonable efforts to solicit and obtain such approval; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Company may at any time prior to approval of the Stockholders (i) decline to make, withdraw, modify or change any recommendation or declaration regarding this Agreement or the Merger or (ii) recommend and declare advisable any other offer or proposal, to the extent the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, based upon advice of legal counsel, that withdrawing, modifying, changing or declining to make its recommendation regarding this Agreement or the Merger or recommending and declaring advisable any other offer or proposal is necessary to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law (which declinations, withdrawal, modification or change shall not constitute a breach by the Company of this Agreement). The Company shall provide written notice to Parent promptly upon the Company taking any action referred to in the foregoing proviso.
(c) Pursuant to the DCGL, at any time before the certificate of merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, including any time after the Merger is authorized by the Stockholders, the Merger may be abandoned and this Agreement may be terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, without further action by the Stockholders.
