Each Stockholder shall duly tender, in the Offer, all of such Stockholder’s Subject Securities pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer; provided that, in the case of Seller Common Stock, the Common Stock Offer Price does not decrease and, in the case of Seller Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock Offer Price does not decrease. Promptly, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of the Offer, each Stockholder shall (i) deliver to the depositary designated in the Offer (the “Depositary”) (A) letter(s) of transmittal with respect to such Stockholder’s Subject Securities complying with the terms of the Offer, (B) a certificate or certificates representing such Subject Securities or, in the case of a book-entry transfer of any uncertificated Subject Securities, an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Depositary may reasonably request) and (C) all other documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer, and/or (ii) instruct such Stockholder’s broker or such other Person that is the holder of record of Stockholder’s Subject Securities to tender such Subject Securities pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Each Stockholder shall duly tender to Purchaser during any Subsequent Offering Period provided by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Offer, all of the Subject Securities, if any, which shall have been issued or otherwise acquired by Stockholder after the expiration of the Offer. Each Stockholder agrees that once such Stockholder’s Subject Securities are tendered pursuant to the terms hereof, such Stockholder will not withdraw any tender of such Subject Securities, unless and until (x) the Offer shall have been terminated or shall have expired, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, or (y) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof.

Section 1.02 Voting of Subject Securities. At every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called for such purpose, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and with respect to every action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company in lieu of a meeting, each Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, vote such Stockholder’s Subject Securities (to the extent that any of such Stockholder’s Subject Securities are not purchased in the Offer and provided that in the case of Seller Common Stock, the Common Stock Offer Price was not decreased and, in the case of Seller Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock Offer Price was not decreased) (i) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) against (A) any agreement or arrangement related to or in furtherance of any Acquisition Proposal, (B) any liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend or other significant corporate reorganization of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (C) any other transaction the consummation of which would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or materially delay the Offer or the Merger, or (D) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in (x) a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of such Stockholder under this Agreement or (y) the failure of any Tender Offer Condition to be satisfied and (iii) in favor of any other matter necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and in connection therewith, such Stockholder shall execute any documents which are necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the foregoing. Each Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote such

Stockholder’s Subject Securities in Stockholder’s sole discretion and without any other limitation on those matters other than those set forth in this Section 1.02 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders generally. In the event that any meeting of the stockholders of the Company is held, such Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause such Stockholder’s Subject Securities (to the extent that any of such Stockholder’s Subject Securities are not purchased in the Offer and provided that in the case of Seller Common Stock, the Common Stock Offer Price was not decreased and, in the case of Seller Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock Offer Price was not decreased) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Section 1.03 Stockholder Representatives on the Seller Board; Stockholder Capacity. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (or shall require any Stockholder to attempt to) affect or limit any Stockholder who is a director or officer of the Company from acting in such capacity (it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to each Stockholder solely in each Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company). In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that certain Stockholders and/or Affiliates of certain Stockholders are members of the Seller Board. So long as any such Stockholder or Affiliate continues to be a Director of the Company, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing or otherwise affecting any actions taken by any such Stockholder or Affiliate in such Person’s capacity as a Director of the Company or from fulfilling the obligations of such office (including the performance of obligations required by the fiduciary obligations of any such Person acting solely in such Person’s capacity as a Director of the Company).
