RECITALS

A. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, Parent, PerkinElmer Hopkinton Co., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with its terms.

C. As a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that Stockholder enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Certain Definitions.

(a) Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

“Constructive Sale” means with respect to any security, a short sale with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a derivative contract with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a futures or forward contract to deliver such security or entering into any other hedging or other derivative transaction that has the effect of either directly or indirectly materially changing the economic benefits or risks of ownership of such security.

“Shares” means (i) all shares of capital stock of the Company owned, beneficially or of record, by Stockholder as of the date hereof, and (ii) all additional shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by Stockholder, beneficially or of record, during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8 (the “Term”).

“Transfer” means, with respect to any security, the direct or indirect assignment, sale, transfer, tender, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or the grant, creation or suffrage of a lien, security interest or encumbrance in or upon, or the gift, grant or placement in trust, or the Constructive Sale or other disposition of such security (including transfers by testamentary or intestate succession, by domestic relations order or other court order, or otherwise by operation of law) or any right, title or interest therein (including any right or power to vote to which the holder thereof may be entitled, whether such right or power is granted by proxy or otherwise), or the record or beneficial ownership thereof, and each agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing.

2. Transfer and Voting Restrictions.

(a) At all times during the Term:

Stockholder shall not, except in connection with the Merger, pursuant to the terms of any trading plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that is in effect as of the date of this Agreement and set forth on Schedule A hereto or as permitted by the immediately following sentence, Transfer or suffer a Transfer of any of the Shares. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Stockholder may transfer Shares for bona fide estate planning purposes to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted), or any other direct lineal descendant of the Stockholder (or his or her spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or to any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by, the Stockholder or any such family members, provided that, before any such Transfer permitted by this sentence, the transferee executes and delivers to the Parent a form of this Agreement providing that such transferee shall be bound by the same terms and conditions with respect to such Shares that the Stockholder is bound by pursuant to this Agreement.

ii.

Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, Stockholder will not commit any act that could reasonably be expected to restrict or affect, or has the effect of restricting or affecting, Stockholder’s legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Shares then owned of record or beneficially by Stockholder or otherwise prevent or disable Stockholder from performing any of his/hers/its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for this Agreement and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, Stockholder shall not enter into any voting agreement with any person or entity with respect to any of the Shares, grant any person or entity any proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust or otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement with any person or entity restricting Stockholder’s legal power, authority or right to vote the Shares in favor of the approval of the Proposed Transaction (as defined in Section 3(a) hereof).

- 2 -

iii.

Stockholder understands and agrees that if Stockholder attempts to Transfer, vote or provide any other person with the authority to vote any of the Shares other than in compliance with this Agreement, the Company shall not, and Stockholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably instructs the Company to not, (i) permit any such Transfer on its books and records, (ii) issue a new certificate representing any of the Shares, or (iii) record such vote, unless and until such Stockholder shall have complied with the terms of this Agreement.

3. Agreement to Vote Shares.

(a) During the Term, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, Stockholder (in Stockholder’s capacity as such) shall appear at the meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum and, to the extent not voted by the persons appointed as proxies pursuant to this Agreement, vote (i) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement (the “Proposed Transaction”), (ii) against the approval or adoption of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Proposed Transaction, and (iii) against any of the following (to the extent unrelated to the Proposed Transaction): (A) any merger, consolidation or business combination involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than the Proposed Transaction; (B) any sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (C) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (D) any other action that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of Stockholder under this Agreement or otherwise impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the consummation of the Proposed Transaction (each of (ii) and (iii), a “Competing Transaction”).

(b) If Stockholder is the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of the Shares, Stockholder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the record holder and any nominees to vote all of the Shares in accordance with Section 3(a).

4. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy.

(a) Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent and each of its executive officers or other designees (the “Proxyholders”) as Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution and re-substitution) solely with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3(a), and grants to the Proxyholders full authority, for and in the name, place and stead of Stockholder, to vote the Shares, to instruct nominees or record holders to vote the Shares, or grant a consent or approval in respect of such Shares, in each case in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof and, in the discretion of the Proxyholders with respect to any proposed adjournments or postponements of any meeting of Stockholders at which any of the matters described in Section 3(a) hereof is to be considered.

(b) Stockholder hereby revokes any proxies heretofore given by Stockholder in respect of the Shares.

- 3 -

(c) Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 4 is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of Stockholder under this Agreement. Stockholder hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest, is intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and may under no circumstances be revoked during the Term. The irrevocable proxy granted by Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy or incapacity of Stockholder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, this proxy shall only be effective if Stockholder fails to appear, or otherwise fails to cause the Shares to be counted as present for purposes of calculating a quorum, at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company that occurs during the Term and at which any of the matters set forth in Section 3(a) are to be considered, and to vote the Shares in accordance with Section 3(a) at such meeting, and the parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the proxy granted hereby shall not be effective for any other purpose. The Proxyholders may not exercise this irrevocable proxy on any matter except as provided above, and Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters.

(e) Parent may terminate this proxy at any time by written notice to Stockholder. For the avoidance of doubt, this proxy shall terminate, without the requirement of any further action, upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.

5. No Solicitation. During the Term, Stockholder shall not directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, propose, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (b) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any communications, discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any person any information or data with respect to, assist or participate in any effort or attempt by any person with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any Acquisition Proposal, (c) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or (d) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement constituting or relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal.

6. Action in Stockholder Capacity Only. Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner, as applicable, of Shares and not in any other capacity, including if applicable as a director or officer of the Company. Nothing herein shall limit or affect Stockholder’s ability to act as an officer or director of the Company or in any other capacity. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict any actions by any Affiliate or direct or indirect owner of the Stockholder, or any of their respective officers, directors, or employees, in each case not acting as such on behalf of the Stockholder, including exercising rights under the Merger Agreement. [Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent acknowledges that a member of the Company Board of Directors is affiliated with a Stockholder and that such person in his capacity as a member of such Board may in the exercise of his fiduciary duties and to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement, take actions that would violate this Agreement if such actions were taken by the Stockholder.]¹

(j) Further Assurances.

filing made by Parent with the SEC relating to the Proposed Transaction[; provided that the Stockholder shall have a reasonable right to review and comment on any such filing that identifies the Stockholder by name (it being understood that in no event shall the Parent be required to delay any such filing past the time it is required to be filed with the SEC)].² Stockholder agrees to notify Parent promptly of any additional shares of capital stock of the Company of which Stockholder becomes the record or beneficial owner during the Term.

If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

(m) Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement.

(n) Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree 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.
