Except as provided hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement, from and after the date hereof until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2, Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) create any Lien other than restrictions imposed by Law or pursuant to this Agreement on any Subject Shares to the extent such Lien would adversely impact the Stockholder’s ability to comply with the terms of this Agreement; (b) transfer, sell, assign (directly or indirectly), pledge, exchange, gift, grant, place in trust or otherwise dispose of (including, without limitation, by the creation of a Lien pursuant to clause (a) hereto), or offer to do any of the foregoing (collectively, “Transfer”), or enter into any Contract with respect to any Transfer of, any of the Subject Shares or any interest therein; (c) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power of attorney or other authorization in or with respect to any of the Subject Shares; (d) deposit or permit the deposit of the Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Subject Shares; or (e) take any action that would reasonably be expected to make any representation or warranty of Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of restricting Stockholder’s legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Subject Shares or would otherwise have the effect of preventing or disabling Stockholder from performing Stockholder’s obligations hereunder. Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void ab initio.
1.3. Documentation and Information. Stockholder shall permit and hereby authorizes the Company and Purchaser to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC and in any press release or other disclosure document that the Company or Purchaser reasonably determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with the Transactions, Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Subject Shares and the nature of Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement.
1.4. Irrevocable Proxy. Stockholder hereby revokes (or agrees to cause to be revoked) any proxies that Stockholder has heretofore granted with respect to the Subject Shares. Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Purchaser as attorney-in-fact and proxy for and on behalf of Stockholder, for and in the name, place and stead of Stockholder, to: (a) attend any and all meetings of the Company Stockholders, (b) vote, express consent or dissent or issue instructions to the record holder to vote the Subject Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1 at any and all meetings of the Company Stockholders or in connection with any action sought to be taken by written consent of the Company Stockholders without a meeting, including with respect to the Stockholder Written Consent, and (c) grant or withhold, or issue instructions to the record holder to grant or withhold, consistent with the provisions of Section 1.1, all written consents with respect to the Subject Shares at any and all meetings of the Company Stockholders or in connection with any action sought to be taken by written consent of the Company Stockholders without a meeting, including with respect to the Stockholder Written Consent.

Stockholder authorizes such attorney-in-fact and proxy to substitute any other Person to act hereunder, to revoke any substitution and to file this proxy and any substitution or revocation with the Secretary of the Company. Stockholder hereby affirms that the proxy set forth in this Section 1.4 is given in connection with and granted in consideration of and as an inducement to Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement and that such proxy is given to secure the obligations of Stockholder under Section 1.1. The proxy set forth in this Section 1.4 is executed and intended to be irrevocable, subject, however, to its automatic termination upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2. With respect to any Subject Shares that are owned beneficially by Stockholder but are not held of record by Stockholder (other than shares beneficially owned by Stockholder that are held in the name of a bank, broker or nominee), Stockholder shall take all action necessary to cause the record holder of such Subject Shares to grant the irrevocable proxy and take all other actions provided for in this Section 1.4 with respect to such Subject Shares.
