stockholder vote is not timely obtained, WPP and the Company shall work in good faith to
restructure the contemplated transactions to provide similar economic value to the parties in
compliance with all such laws, rules and regulations. WPP shall take no action to prevent the

INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON HOLDING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED
TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SAID
AGREEMENT.”

WPP delivered pursuant to this section. In the event the Company has not completed such
transaction within such sixty (60) day period following the Election Period, or such sixty (60) day
period following the date of said agreement, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New
