ARTICLE I.
TRANSFER AND VOTING OF SUBJECT SHARES;
OTHER COVENANTS OF THE SIGNATORY STOCKHOLDERS
1.1. VOTING OF SUBJECT SHARES. From the date hereof until the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof (the "Term"), at
any meeting of the Signatory
Stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by consent of the
Signatory Stockholders of the Company, each Signatory Stockholder shall vote its
Subject Shares in favor of the approval of, and the transactions contemplated
by, the Asset Agreement and the IP Purchase Agreement (each as amended from time
to time) and the approval of the (ii) against any proposal for action or
agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or
warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Asset
Agreement or the IP Purchase Agreement, or which is reasonably likely to result
in any of the conditions of the Company's obligations under the Asset Agreement
or the IP Purchase Agreement not being fulfilled, any change in the present
capitalization of the Company or any amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws, any other material change in the Company's corporate
structure of business, or any other action which in the case of each of the
matters referred to in this clause (ii) could reasonably be expected to impede,
interfere with, delay, postpone or materially adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by the Asset Agreement or the IP Purchase Agreement which is
considered at any such meeting of Stockholders or in such consent, and in
connection therewith to execute any documents which are necessary or appropriate
in order to effectuate the foregoing.
1.2. NO INCONSISTENT ARRANGEMENTS. Except as contemplated by this
Agreement and the Asset Agreement, each Signatory Stockholder shall not during
the Term (i) transfer (which term shall include, without limitation, any sale,
assignment, gift, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition), or consent to any
transfer of, any or all of such Signatory Stockholder's Subject Shares or any
interest therein, or create or permit to exist any Encumbrance (as defined
below) on such Subject Shares, (ii) enter into any contract, option or other
agreement or understanding with respect to any transfer of any or all of such
shares or any interest therein, (iii) grant any proxy, power-of- attorney or
other authorization in or with respect to such Subject Shares, (iv) deposit such
Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or
arrangement with respect to such Subject Shares, or (v) take any other action
that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of its
obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Asset
Agreement.
1.3. PROXY. Each Signatory Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior
proxies or powers of attorney in respect of any of such Signatory Stockholder's
Subject Shares and constitutes and appoints the Buyer, or any nominee of the
Buyer (provided that in the event the Buyer or its nominee fails to exercise the
Proxy (as defined below), Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx is hereby automatically appointed
as the substitute therefor), with full power of substitution and resubstitution,
at any time during the Term, as its true and lawful attorney and proxy (its
"Proxy"), for and in its name, place and stead, to demand that the Secretary of
the Company call a special meeting of the Stockholders of the Company for the
purpose of considering any matter referred to in Section 1.1 and to vote each of
such Subject Shares as its Proxy, at every annual, special, adjourned or
postponed meeting of the Signatory Stockholders of the Company, including the
right to sign its name (as Signatory Stockholder) to any consent, certificate or
other document relating to the Company that the general corporation law of the
state of Delaware may permit or require, in favor of the approval of, and the
transactions contemplated by, the Asset Agreement and the IP Purchase Agreement
(each as amended from time to time); provided, however, that the proxy granted
in this Section 1.3 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect in the
event that the Company's Board of Directors determines in its good faith
judgment, after taking into consideration the written advice of its outside
legal counsel, that it is required in order for its members to comply with their
fiduciary duties under applicable law to withdraw its recommendation to its
stockholders of the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Asset
2
Agreement and the IP Purchase Agreement, or approve or recommend or cause the
Company to enter into an agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (as
defined in the Asset Agreement).
THE FOREGOING PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY ARE IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN
INTEREST THROUGHOUT THE TERM.
1.4. STOP TRANSFER. Each Signatory Stockholder agrees not to request
that the Company register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any
certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of such Signatory
Stockholder's Subject Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with
this Agreement (including the provisions of Article III hereof).
1.5. NO SOLICITATION. During the Term, each Signatory Stockholder shall
not, nor shall it permit or authorize any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents or representatives (collectively, the "Representatives") to, (i) solicit
or initiate, or encourage, directly or indirectly, any inquiries regarding or
the submission of, any proposal that would constitute a Third Party Acquisition,
(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any
Person any information or data with respect to, or take any other action to
knowingly facilitate the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may
reasonably be expected to lead to, any Third Party Acquisition or (iii) enter
into any agreement with respect to any Third Party Acquisition or approve or
resolve to approve any Third Party Acquisition. Upon execution of this
Agreement, each Signatory Stockholder shall, and it shall cause its
Representatives to, immediately cease any existing activities, discussions or
negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the
foregoing. Each Signatory Stockholder will promptly notify Parent of the
existence of any proposal, discussion, negotiation or inquiry received by such
Signatory Stockholder, and each Signatory Stockholder will immediately
communicate to Parent the terms of any proposal, discussion, negotiation or
inquiry which it may receive (and will promptly provide to Parent copies of any
written materials received by it in connection with such proposal, discussion,
negotiation or inquiry) and the identity of the Person making such proposal or
inquiry or engaging in such discussion or negotiation. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Section 1.5 to the contrary, if any Signatory Stockholder or
any of its Representatives is a member of the Board of Directors, such member of
the Board of Directors may take actions in such capacity to the extent permitted
by Section 4.4 of the Asset Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Third
Party Acquisition" means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
acquisition of the Company by merger or otherwise by any Person (which includes
a "person" as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)
other than Parent, Buyer or any affiliate thereof (a "Third Party"); (ii) the
acquisition by a Third Party of assets comprising the Business, or any part
thereof, outside the ordinary course of business; (iii) the acquisition by a
Third Party of 50% or more of the outstanding capital stock of the Company and
its subsidiaries; or (iv) the adoption by the Company of a plan of partial or
complete liquidation or the declaration or payment of an extraordinary dividend.
1.6. INDEMNIFICATION OF SIGNATORY STOCKHOLDERS. The Buyer will
indemnify each Signatory Stockholder against all claims, actions, suits,
proceedings or investigations, losses, damages, liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof), costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel) arising out of or based upon the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or the performance by such Signatory Stockholder of its obligations
hereunder and in the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation unless the Buyer shall have assumed the defense thereof as
provided below, (i) the Buyer shall pay as incurred the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel selected by the Signatory Stockholder, which counsel shall
be
3
reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, promptly as statements therefor are
received, and (ii) the Buyer will cooperate in the defense of any such matter;
provided, however, that Parent shall not be liable for any settlement effected
without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld); and provided, further, the Buyer shall not be obliged pursuant to
this Section 1.6 to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for
all Signatory Stockholders in any single action except to the extent that, in
the opinion of counsel for the Signatory Stockholders, two or more of such
Signatory Stockholders have conflicting interests in the outcome of such action.
In the event any person asserts a claim against a Signatory Stockholder for
which such Signatory Stockholder intends to seek indemnification hereunder, such
Signatory Stockholder shall give prompt notice to the Buyer, and shall permit
the Buyer to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom with counsel selected by the Buyer, and reasonably acceptable to such
Signatory Stockholders; provided that such Signatory Stockholder may participate
in such defense at its own expense, and provided further that the failure of any
Signatory Stockholder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Buyer of its obligations under this Section 1.6 except to the extent the Buyer
is materially prejudiced thereby. The Buyer shall not, in the defense of any
such claim or litigation, except with the consent of the Signatory Stockholder
being indemnified, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such Signatory Stockholder of a release from all
liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Each Signatory Stockholder
shall promptly furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in
question as Parent may reasonably request and as shall be reasonably required in
connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their jurisdiction of
incorporation. The Buyer has all requisite corporate power and authority to

ARTICLE IV.
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further
force and effect (i) by the written mutual consent of the parties hereto, or
(ii) automatically and without any required action of the parties hereto upon

and without consideration, each party hereto shall execute and deliver such
additional documents and take all such further action as may be necessary or

power, or remedy provided under this agreement or otherwise available in respect
hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party

compliance.
4.5. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each Signatory Stockholder acknowledges that
if such Signatory Stockholder fails to perform any of its obligations under this

party hereto to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall
not constitute a waiver of those rights.
4.15. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall
constitute one and the same agreement.
