WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Shareholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock (all such shares of Company Common Stock, together with any shares of Company Common Stock or other equity interests in the Company that are hereafter issued to or otherwise acquired or owned (beneficially or otherwise) by the Shareholder prior to the termination of this Agreement, being hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”) and holds Company Stock Options to acquire the number of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Restricted Shares, in each case, as set forth on the signature page hereto; provided, however, that Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Shares beneficially owned by the Shareholder as of the date hereof shall not be considered Shares prior to their exercise or vesting, as the case may be, and shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Company Stock Options and/or vesting of the Company Restricted Shares shall be considered Shares; and
WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for Merger Sub to make a tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under the Merger Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for consideration of a price per share of Company Common Stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement and that, following the acceptance of and payment for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”); and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have requested that the Shareholder agree, and in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Shareholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.

Any attempted sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of any Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 2.01 shall be null and void ab initio.
2.02 Adjustments.
(a) In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company on, of or affecting the Shares or the like or any other action that would have the effect of changing the Shareholder’s ownership of Company Common Stock or other securities of the Company, then the terms of this Agreement will apply to the shares of capital stock or any other equity interest in the Company held by the Shareholder immediately following the effectiveness of such events as though they were Shares hereunder.
(b) The Shareholder hereby agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, to promptly notify Parent of the number of any new shares of Company Common Stock acquired by the Shareholder, if any, after the date hereof.

ARTICLE 3
3.01 Tender of Shares. The Shareholder will validly tender (or cause the record owner of such Shares to validly tender) into the Offer (and not withdraw) and sell, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer and the Offer Documents, the Shares not later than the tenth Business Day after commencement of the Offer, or with respect to any Shares acquired after such date, prior to the expiration of the Offer. In furtherance and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no later than the tenth Business Day after the commencement of the Offer, the Shareholder shall (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the depositary designated in the Offer Documents (A) a letter of transmittal with respect to his or her Shares in the form included in the Offer Documents and otherwise complying with the terms of the Offer, (B) any certificates representing his or her Shares or an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer the depositary may reasonably request) in the case of book-entry transfer of any Shares and (C) any and all other documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer or the Offer Documents, (ii) instruct and cause any other Person who is the holder of record of any Shares beneficially owned by the Shareholder (including the Shareholder’s broker) to validly tender into the Offer (and not withdraw) and sell such Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer and the Offer Documents and (iii) take any and all other actions reasonably necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Merger Sub shall pay the Shareholder for any Shares validly tendered into the Offer (and not withdrawn) on the Expiration Date pursuant to the Offer in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement. Upon the purchase of all the Shares by Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this Section 3.01, this Agreement will automatically terminate without any notice or other action required by any of the parties hereto, in accordance with Section 4.01 hereof. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 3.01, any Shares are for any reason not purchased pursuant to the Offer, such Shares will remain subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Shareholder acknowledges that Merger Sub’s obligation to accept for payment and pay for the Shares in the Offer is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Offer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall require the Shareholder to exercise any Company Stock Option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock.
3.02 Voting Agreement. The Shareholder, by this Agreement, does hereby constitute and appoint Parent and Merger Sub, or any nominee thereof, with full power of substitution, during and for the term of this Agreement, as the Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and proxy for and in the Shareholder’s name, place and stead, to vote all the Shares that the Shareholder beneficially owns at the time of such vote, at any annual, special, postponed or adjourned meeting of the shareholders of the Company or to grant a consent or approval in respect of the Shares in any written consent in lieu of such a meeting (and to appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum) (a) in favor of approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement (including, for purposes of this proxy, as it may be modified or amended from time to time), the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the other transactions contemplated thereby and any other matter that must be approved by the shareholders of the Company in order for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to be consummated, (b) in favor of any adjournment or postponement recommended by the Company with respect to any shareholder meeting with respect to the Merger Agreement
5
and the Merger and (c) against (w) any Takeover Proposal or any proposal relating to any Takeover Proposal, (x) any merger (other than the Merger), consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or its Subsidiaries or a reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (y) to the extent submitted to a shareholder vote, any change in the business, management or Board of Directors of the Company (other than as directed by Parent, Merger Sub or any Parent Subsidiary) or (z) any other action, proposal or agreement that would (1) reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, materially delay or postpone the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (2) result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement, (3) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII or Exhibit A of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or satisfied or (4) change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of equity interests in, the Company. The Shareholder shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing. This proxy and power of attorney is a proxy and power coupled with an interest, and the Shareholder declares that it is irrevocable during and for the term of this Agreement and that such proxy shall be revoked automatically, without any notice or other action by any Person, upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Shareholder hereby represents to Parent and Merger Sub that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Shares are not irrevocable and hereby revokes all and any other proxies with respect to the Shares that the Shareholder may have heretofore made or granted. The Shareholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that this proxy may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7613 of the California Corporations Code. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason this proxy is not irrevocable, the Shareholder shall vote his or her Shares in accordance with this Section 3.02. For Shares as to which the Shareholder is the beneficial but not the record owner, the Shareholder shall use the Shareholder’s reasonable best efforts to cause the record owner of any such Shares to grant to Parent and Merger Sub a proxy to the same effect as that contained herein.
3.03 Non-Solicitation. Except as set forth in Section 4.05 hereof, the Shareholder hereby agrees that the Shareholder shall not, nor shall it authorize any of his or her controlled Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other advisors or representatives (collectively, his or her “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, propose or encourage, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, any Takeover Proposal or any inquiries or offers or the making of any proposal or any other effort or attempt that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, (b) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any communications or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or otherwise knowingly cooperate in any way with any Person with respect to, any Takeover Proposal or any inquiries or offers or the making of any proposal or any other efforts or attempt that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, (c) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Takeover Proposal, (d) make any statement or proposal inconsistent with the Company Recommendation or (e) enter into any Acquisition Agreement constituting or relating to, or which is intended to or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Takeover Proposal or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring the Shareholder to abandon, terminate or breach his or her obligations hereunder or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
6
The Shareholder shall, and shall direct his or her Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing communications and negotiations with any Person conducted prior to the execution of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Shareholder or any of his or her Representatives with respect to any Takeover Proposal. The Shareholder shall as promptly as possible (and in any event within 24 hours) (i) notify Parent of the identity of any Person approaching the Shareholder with a Takeover Proposal or indication by any Person that it is considering making a Takeover Proposal and (ii) provide Parent a copy of any such Takeover Proposal (or, where no such copy is available, a reasonably detailed description of such Takeover Proposal, indication, inquiry or request), including draft agreements or term sheets submitted in connection therewith (or, where no such copy is available, a reasonably detailed description of such Takeover Proposal, including any modifications thereto), unless, in each case, the Company has previously provided such notice and such copy to Parent. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any controlled Affiliate of the Shareholder (other than the Company) or any of the Shareholder’s or his or her controlled Affiliates’ Representatives (other than the Company’s Representatives) shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 3.03 by the Shareholder.
3.04 Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights and Actions. The Shareholder hereby (a) waives and agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that the Shareholder may have and (b) agrees not to commence or join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, suit, action or proceeding, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Offer or the Merger, including any claim, suit, action or proceeding (i) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or (ii) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.
ARTICLE 4
4.01 Termination. This Agreement will automatically terminate without any notice or other action by any of the parties hereto upon the earliest to occur of (a) the purchase of all of the Shares pursuant to the Offer in accordance with Section 3.01, (b) the Effective Time, (c) the date the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and (d) the mutual consent of the Shareholder and Parent; provided, that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any breach of this Agreement and this Section 4.01 and Section 4.06 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
4.02 Expenses. Except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated.
4.03 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto will execute and deliver all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take
7
all such further action as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Stockholder shall notify Parent in writing of any development occurring after the date hereof that causes, or that would reasonably be expected to cause, any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Stockholder set forth herein.
4.04 Press Releases. Unless required by applicable Law, the Shareholder shall not, and shall cause his or her Representatives not to, issue any press release, public announcement or other communication with respect to the business or affairs of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, including with respect to this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, without the prior written consent of Parent.
4.05 Shareholder Capacity. No person executing this Agreement, or any Representative of such person, who is or becomes during the term of this Agreement a director or officer of the Company shall be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such person’s capacity as a director or officer. The Shareholder is entering into this Agreement solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as the owner of the Shares (beneficially and in any other capacity) and nothing herein shall in any way restrict or limit the Shareholder from taking (or omitting to take) any action solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement) or otherwise fulfilling the Shareholder’s fiduciary obligations as a director or officer of the Company, in each case subject to the limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement.
4.06 Miscellaneous.
(a) In furtherance of this Agreement, the Shareholder hereby authorizes and instructs the Company (including through the Company’s transfer agent) to enter a stop transfer order at and upon the direction of Parent with respect to all of his or her Shares and to legend the certificates evidencing the Shares. The Shareholder agrees that, to the extent requested by Parent, it shall authorize and instruct the Company as promptly as practicable following such request (i) to make a notation on his or her records and give instructions to the transfer agent for any Shares not to permit, during the term of this Agreement, the transfer of such Shares and (ii) to place (or cause the transfer agent for such Shares to place) on any certificates evidencing such Shares a legend stating that such Shares are subject to this Agreement.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement may be (i) waived by the party benefited by the provision, but only in writing, or (ii) amended or modified at any time, but only by a written agreement executed in the same manner as this Agreement. The failure or delay by any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party to this Agreement of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement.
(c) This Agreement constitutes the final, exclusive and entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and does not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto (and their respective successors and permitted assigns) any rights (legal, equitable or otherwise) or remedies, whether as third party beneficiaries or otherwise.
8
(d) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws thereof or that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to apply. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, in any Delaware State court or the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement (and agrees that no such action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement shall be brought by it or any of its Subsidiaries except in such courts). Each of the parties further agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Person’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in the State of Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives (and agrees not to plead or claim) any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, in any Delaware State court or the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(e) Each party hereto hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that he or it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 4.06(e).
(f) The Section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not limit or otherwise affect any of the substance of this Agreement.
(g) All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by facsimile or sent, postage prepaid, by registered, certified or express mail or reputable overnight courier service and shall be deemed given when so delivered by hand or sent by facsimile, or if mailed, three days after mailing (one Business Day in the case of express mail or overnight courier service), as follows (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by notice given in accordance with this Section 4.06(g)):
