ARTICLE I
Agreements
SECTION 1.01. Agreement to Tender. (a) Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to accept the Offer with respect to all the Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder and to tender, or cause to be tendered, all such Shares pursuant to the Offer. Such tender shall be made no later than the 10th business day after
commencement of the Offer or, with respect to any Additional Shares acquired later than such time, prior to the expiration of the Offer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Stockholder shall (i) deliver to the Paying Agent (A) a letter of transmittal with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (B) to the extent applicable, a Certificate representing such Shares, and (C) all other documents or instruments required to be delivered by other holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Offer, or (ii) instruct and otherwise use reasonable efforts to cause such Stockholder’s broker and, if applicable, such other person that is the holder of record of any Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder to tender such Shares pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 1.01(a) and the terms of the Offer. The Stockholder shall not withdraw, or cause to be withdrawn, any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.01. Merger Sub shall pay the Stockholders for any Shares tendered (and not withdrawn) on the date of acceptance of shares for payment pursuant to the Offer in accordance with the provisions of Article I of the Merger Agreement. Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to (x) permit Parent, U.S. Parent and Merger Sub to publish and disclose in the Offer Documents and any Proxy Statement (including all related documents and schedules filed with the SEC) and the initial press release to be issued in accordance with and as contemplated by Section 6.08 of the Merger Agreement, his identity and ownership of Shares, the nature of his commitments under this Agreement and any other information required by applicable Law, in each case subject to such Stockholder’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), and (y) promptly provide to Parent, U.S. Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, any such information.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall require any Stockholder to exercise any option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock or to tender any securities not outstanding at the relevant time.
(c) Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, acknowledges that the obligations to tender, or cause to be tendered, and not to withdraw, or cause to be withdrawn, the Shares as provided herein require each Stockholder to tender, or cause to be tendered, the Shares to Merger Sub in the event that the parties to the Merger Agreement adjust the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided that following any such adjustment to the Offer, (i) the terms and conditions of the Offer shall be no less favorable to the Stockholders than those set forth in the Merger Agreement on the date hereof and (ii) the consideration paid to the Stockholders for Shares tendered in the Offer is equal to the highest consideration paid to any other holder of Company Common Stock for shares of Company Common Stock tendered in the Offer (any adjustment to the terms and conditions of the Offer by Parent, U.S. Parent or Merger Sub that is inconsistent with clause (i) or (ii) of the foregoing proviso, an “Adverse Amendment”).
SECTION 1.02. Agreement to Vote. Each Stockholder agrees, severally and not jointly, that, from and after the date hereof and unless this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 4.01, at the Company Stockholders Meeting or any other meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, relating to any proposed action by the stockholders of the
Company with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1.02(b) below, each Stockholder irrevocably agrees, severally and not jointly, to:
(a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and
(b) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all the Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder (i) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other action of the Company’s stockholders requested in furtherance thereof, including any proposal to adjourn the meeting if there are not sufficient votes for the adoption of the Merger Agreement on the date on which such meeting is held, and (ii) against any other action, agreement or transaction submitted for approval to the stockholders of the Company that (A) could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Takeover Proposal or (B) is intended or would reasonably be expected to materially impede, materially delay or prevent the Offer, the Merger or the Transactions.
SECTION 1.03. ESOP Shares. It is understood and agreed that each Stockholder’s ability to tender or vote any Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder that are held in trust by that portion of the Company 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”) that is the ESOP (as such term is defined in the Plan) (such Shares, the “ESOP Shares”) is subject to the requirements of ERISA and the terms of the Plan. As such, it is understood and agreed that directing the trustee of the Plan (the “Trustee”) to tender such ESOP Shares in accordance with Section 1.01 or to vote such ESOP Shares in accordance with Section 1.02, as applicable, will satisfy such Stockholder’s obligations under Article I with respect to such ESOP Shares, and that the failure of the Trustee (i) to request such instructions from any Stockholder or (ii) to tender or vote any such ESOP Shares as directed by such Stockholder shall not result in a breach or violation of this Agreement by such Stockholder.
ARTICLE II

Such Stockholder agrees to promptly notify Parent, U.S. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, as applicable, of any required corrections with respect to any such information, if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.
(e) No Finder’s Fees. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of such Stockholder, in each case solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as an individual stockholder.
(f) Reliance on Agreement. Each Stockholder acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement and this Agreement with the advice of counsel of such Stockholder’s own choosing. Such Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and U.S. Parent are entering into, and causing Merger Sub to enter into, the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acknowledges that this Agreement has been entered into in consideration for the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by Parent, U.S. Parent and Merger Sub.
(g) Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, threatened against or otherwise affecting, such Stockholder or any of his properties or assets (including such Stockholder’s Shares) that would reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the ability of Stockholder to perform his obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 4.06. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article of, a Section of, or a Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Any agreement or instrument defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.
SECTION 4.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.
SECTION 4.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Merger Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
SECTION 4.09. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
SECTION 4.10. Specific Performance; Jurisdiction. Each party hereto agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be unavailable, any Federal court
located in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any defenses based on adequacy of any other remedy, whether at law or in equity, that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of any of the terms or provisions hereof or injunctive relief in any action brought therefor by any other party hereto. Each of the parties further agrees to waive any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with obtaining any such equitable relief. In addition, each of the parties hereto (i) irrevocably submits itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any Federal court located in the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be unavailable, any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, (iv) waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any suit, action or proceeding directly or indirectly related to or arising out of this Agreement or any Transaction and (v) consents to service being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 4.05.

Parent agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to establish and continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid.

SECTION 4.11. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
SECTION 4.12. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
SECTION 4.13. Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. Each Stockholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to such Stockholder’s Shares and shall be binding upon any person to whom legal or beneficial ownership of such Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including such Stockholder’s heirs, guardians, administrators or successors. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
SECTION 4.14. No Waiver. The terms and provisions hereof may not be waived except by an instrument signed on behalf of the party waiving compliance. The failure of any party to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect of this Agreement at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party with its obligations under this Agreement, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms of this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of such party’s right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or demand such compliance.
SECTION 4.15. Further Assurances. Parent, U.S. Parent and each Stockholder will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations, to perform their respective obligations as expressly set forth under this Agreement.
