Stock, Series A Share Equivalents, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B Share
Equivalents or Subject Shares, as applicable, owned by such Holder or by any
Affiliate of such Holder, either in person or by proxy, to be cast in accordance
with the provisions of this Article 2.
(c) Each Holder further agrees to vote all the
Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Share Equivalents, Series B Preferred Stock,
Series B Share Equivalents or Subject Shares, as applicable, with respect to
which it has direct or indirect voting rights, in favor of removal from the
Board, upon notice by the XxXxxx/Fix Holders, the Series A Purchaser Group, the

by them
5
pursuant to Section 2.1 should be removed, and to use its best efforts to cause
the Board to fill the vacancy so vacated with another person designated by the
party providing such notice. Each Holder further agrees to cooperate fully in
connection with the nomination of Directors, the voting of its shares of Series
A Preferred Stock, Series A Share Equivalents, Series B Preferred Stock, Series
B Share Equivalents or Subject Shares, as applicable, the execution of written
consents (if then permissible under the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company), the calling of meetings and other stockholder matters to effect the
provisions of this Article.
(d) If any director is unable to serve, or once
having commenced to serve, is removed or withdraws from the Board, the party or
parties who designated such director will be entitled to designate a person to
fill the vacancy on the Board so created and each Holder will use its best
efforts to cause the Board to fill the vacancy so created with the person so
designated, in accordance with the Company's By-laws.
(e) Each Holder agrees not to and not to permit
any Affiliate to grant any proxy or enter into or be bound by any voting trust

or enter into any arrangements of any kind with any person with respect to its

this Article 2 to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board
to the Company's stockholders for election as directors, and the Company shall

stockholder submitting such proxy) or is otherwise entitled to vote, in favor of
the election of such person.

committees from time to time, at least one of the nominees of the Series B
Purchaser Group shall have the right, upon the request of the Series B Purchaser
Group, to serve on each such committee, including, without limitation, on any
audit committee or on any compensation committee.

warrants as to itself that as of the date hereof (after giving effect to all
transactions occurring in connection with the sale of the Series B Preferred
Stock and Warrants pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement) such Holder is
not a party with any other Person to any agreement other than this Agreement and

6

the Subject Shares held by Doubletree, XxXxxx, the Trusts or the Fix Partnership

the case may be, shall: (i) act, or shall cause one of such Holders, to act, as
agent and proxy for all purposes of this Agreement (including without limitation
the voting of Subject Shares, the nomination of Directors, the giving of
consents, the approval of amendments, the receipt of notices, etc.) for all of
the Doubletree Holders, XxXxxx Holders or the Fix Partnership Holders, as the
case may be, and (ii) specify in writing to the other parties that it (or such
other Holder) is to act as such agent and proxy, and thereafter the other
parties shall be entitled to look solely to, and to deal solely with, the person
so specified for all purposes of this Agreement as if such Holder held all the
Subject Shares held by the party providing such notice and its Permitted
Transferees.
2.5. Irrevocable Proxy. The Fix Partnership Holders and
the Trusts hereby appoint XxXxxx as its and their proxy to exercise in XxXxxx'x
sole discretion all rights of the Fix Partnership Holders and the Trusts to
designate persons for nomination, removal or the filling of vacancies and to
exercise all rights pursuant to Article 2 hereof. This proxy is coupled with an
interest in the Company and shall be irrevocable. Except as set forth below in
this paragraph, this proxy may be invoked by XxXxxx at any time by notice to the
other Holders but, unless and until invoked, such rights may be exercised by the
Fix Partnership Holders and the Trusts; provided, however, that upon the death
of Xxxxxx X. Fix all such rights shall automatically vest in XxXxxx which shall
thereafter have the sole right to exercise all such rights of the Fix
Partnership Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this proxy may not be
invoked or exercised after the death of Xxxx XxXxxx.
2.6. Termination. (a) The rights and obligations of any
holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Share Equivalents, Series B
Preferred Stock, Series B Share Equivalents or Subject Shares pursuant to this
Agreement shall terminate (i) as to any Significant Purchaser, if such
Significant Purchaser shall hold, beneficially or of record, less than 20% of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series A Share Equivalents purchased
by such Significant Purchaser pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, (ii) as
to any rights (but not any obligations) of any holder of Series A Preferred
Stock or Series A Share Equivalents, upon waiver of such rights in writing,
(iii) as to any holder of Series A Share Equivalents, upon transfer of such
Series A Share Equivalents pursuant to a Public Sale, (iv) as to all holders of
Series A Preferred Stock or Series A Share Equivalents, upon failure of such
holders or their Permitted Transferees, collectively, to hold, beneficially or
of record, at least 20% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series A
Share Equivalents purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, (v) as to
any rights of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock or Series B Share
Equivalents, upon waiver of such rights in writing, (vi) as to any holder of

or Series B Share Equivalents, upon failure of such holders or their Permitted
Transferees, collectively, to hold, beneficially or of record, at least 20% of
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series B Share Equivalents purchased
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and (viii) as to the holders of
the Doubletree Shares or the
7
XxXxxx/Fix Shares, upon both the failure of such holders or their Permitted
Transferees, collectively, to hold, beneficially or of record, at least 20% of
the outstanding voting interests of the Company and the termination of the
rights of the Series A Preferred Holders and Series B Preferred Holders pursuant
to subsections (iv) and (vii) hereof.
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that, as of the date hereof, the rights and obligations of

Transferee of any other party hereto, the Individual Investor Holders shall have
no rights or obligations under this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
4.1. Injunctive Relief. It is acknowledged that it will be
impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties
fail to comply with certain of the obligations imposed on them by this Agreement
and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person will be
irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such Person
shall, therefore, be entitled to injunctive relief and/or specific performance
to enforce such obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to
enforce any of such
8
provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense
that there is an adequate remedy at law.

perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and things and

performance. Any such amendment so approved shall be binding on all Holders. No
waiver of any term or provision shall be effective unless in writing signed by
the party to be charged. The Second Stockholders Agreement, as in existence
prior to the execution hereof, among the Initial Holders and the parties listed
on Schedule A thereto, is hereby terminated and shall be after the date hereof
