NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:
1. Voting of Subject Shares for the Merger.
Section 1.1 Voting Agreement for the Merger.
(a) At every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company with respect to any of the following, each Stockholder shall Vote or cause to be Voted such Stockholder’s Subject Company Shares in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the terms thereof, the Merger and each of the other transactions contemplated thereby and any other action reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement. At every meeting of the stockholders of Parent called with respect to the Parent Share Issuance, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of Parent with respect to the Parent Share Issuance, each Stockholder shall Vote or cause to be Voted such Stockholder’s Subject Parent Shares in favor of approval of the Parent Share Issuance and
any other action reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary to effectuate the Parent Share Issuance. Furthermore, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Stockholder shall (i) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any other Person to Vote or give instructions inconsistent with this Section 1.1, including any granting of proxies, options, rights of first offer or refusal, or any voting agreement, voting trust or similar arrangement with respect to such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, or (ii) take any other action that would, or would reasonably be expected to, in any material manner interfere with or impede, frustrate, prevent, burden, delay or nullify the Merger, the Merger Agreement, the Parent Share Issuance or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Vote” shall mean voting in person or by proxy in favor of or against any action, otherwise consenting or withholding consent in respect of any action or taking other action in favor of or against any action; “Voting” and “Voted” shall have correlative meanings. Any such Vote shall be cast, or consent shall be given, for purposes of this Section 1, in accordance with such procedures relating thereto as shall ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording in accordance herewith the results of such Vote or consent. Subject to Section 2.2, each Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to dispose of or vote such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in such Stockholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, including voting on any matters other than those expressly set forth in this Section 1.1 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders or Parent’s stockholders generally, including in connection with the election of directors; provided, that, in the event that any Stockholder Transfers Subject Shares after the record date for the stockholders meetings to be held by Parent and the Company to seek approval of their respective stockholders for certain matters relating to the Merger, such Stockholder shall Vote such Subject Shares as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 1.1.
Section 1.2 Adjustments; Additional Shares. In the event (a) of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, subdivision, combination or exchange of shares on, of or affecting the Subject Shares, or (b) that any of the Stockholders shall Beneficially Own any additional shares of common stock or other securities of the Company or Parent, then all shares of common stock or other securities of the Company or Parent that any Stockholder Beneficially Owns immediately following the effectiveness of any event described in clause (a) or any of the Stockholders Beneficially Owns as described in clause (b), shall, in each case, automatically and without any further action become Subject Shares hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Beneficially Own” shall mean, with respect to any securities, (a) having “beneficial ownership” of such securities for purposes of Rule 13d-3 or 13d-5 under the Exchange Act (or any successor statute or regulation), (b) having the right to become the Beneficial Owner of such securities (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the occurrence of conditions) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, or (c) having an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism with respect to any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, swap agreement or other security, contract right or derivative position, whether or not currently exercisable, at a price related to the value of the securities for which Beneficial Ownership is being determined or a value determined in whole or part with reference to, or derived in whole or in part from, the value of the securities for which Beneficial Ownership is being determined that increases in value as the value of the securities for which Beneficial Ownership is being determined increases or that provides to the holder an opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase in the value of the securities for which Beneficial Ownership is being determined.
Section 1.3 Other Obligations.
(a) From the date hereof through the later of (i) the date of the stockholders meeting(s) to be held by Parent to seek approval of its stockholders for certain matters relating to the Merger and (ii) the date of the stockholders meeting(s) to be held by the Company to seek approval of its stockholders for certain matters relating to the Merger, no Stockholder will, directly or indirectly, in any single
2
transaction or series of related transactions, sell, short sell, transfer, exchange, offer, pledge, assign, hypothecate, encumber, tender or otherwise dispose of (collectively, a “Transfer”) such Stockholder’s Subject Shares other than (A) a Transfer of Subject Shares effected through a “brokers’ transaction” as defined in Rule 144(g) executed on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market by a securities broker-dealer acting as agent for the Stockholder (so long as such Transfer is not directed by the Stockholder to be made to a particular counterparty or counterparties), (B) a Transfer of Subject Shares to a controlled affiliate of the Stockholder that agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and executes a joinder agreement reasonably acceptable to Parent with respect thereto or (C) a Transfer of Subject Shares (other than a Transfer described in clause (A)) to a Person who is not a controlled affiliate of the Stockholder, so long as such Person agrees to be bound by this Section 1 and executes a joinder agreement reasonably acceptable to Parent with respect thereto, in each case with respect to clauses (B) and (C), as a condition to the consummation of such Transfer. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be of no effect and null and void, regardless of whether the purported transferee has any actual or constructive knowledge of the Transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement, and shall not be recorded on the stock transfer books of the Company or Parent, as applicable, or any local custodian or transfer agent.
(b) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Voting Expiration Date (as defined below), each of the Stockholders agrees (a) not to knowingly take any action which makes, or would reasonably be expected to make, any representation or warranty of such Stockholder herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect and (b) not to knowingly take any action or enter into any agreement or undertaking that would prohibit or prevent it from satisfying any of such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder, or that is intended to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(“ISS”) or Glass Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”) recommends otherwise with respect to any proposal presented at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of Parent, each Stockholder shall be permitted to vote in accordance with the ISS or Glass Lewis recommendation.
