(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company Board has effected a Company Change in Recommendation in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, then (i) the number of shares of Company Stock that the Stockholder shall be required to vote (or execute a written consent with respect to) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be reduced such that the Stockholder, together with the other stockholders of the Company entering into support agreements with Acquiror on or about the date hereof (such stockholders of the Company, together with the Stockholder, the “Support Stockholders”), shall only be required to collectively vote (or provide a written consent) with respect to an aggregate number of shares of Company Stock equal to (i) thirty-five percent (35%) of the total voting power of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock, voting or acting by written consent together as a single class, and (ii) thirty-five percent (35%) of the total voting power of the then outstanding Company Preferred Stock, voting or acting by written consent together as a single class, in each case as of the record date of such vote or written consent (collectively, the “Specified Company Voting Shares” and the portion of the Specified Company Voting Shares owned of record and beneficially by the Stockholder (which shall be determined pro rata based on the number of shares of voting Company Stock owned of record by the
2
Stockholder as compared to the number of shares of voting Company Stock owned of record by all Support Stockholders), the “Adjusted Covered Shares”), such that the Stockholder shall only be obligated to execute a written consent with respect to, or otherwise vote, the Adjusted Covered Shares in the manner set forth in this Agreement, (ii) all references in this Section 1 to “Covered Shares” shall be deemed to only refer to the Adjusted Covered Shares and (iii) Stockholder shall be entitled (in its sole discretion) to vote any shares of Company Stock that it is entitled to vote, other than the Adjusted Covered Shares, in any manner.
(c) The obligations of the Stockholder specified in this Section 1 (for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the Section 1(b), if applicable) shall apply whether or not the Merger Agreement, the Transactions or any action described above is recommended by the Company Board or the Company Board has changed the Company Board Recommendation.

6. Certain Covenants of the Stockholder. Except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) No Solicitation. The Stockholder shall not take any action that the Company would be prohibited from taking pursuant to Section 6.09 of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Stockholder (in its capacity as such) shall not be responsible for the actions of the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof), any Subsidiary of the Company, or any officers, directors (in their capacity as such), employees, professional advisors or other stockholder of any of the foregoing (the “Company Related Parties”), including with respect to any of the matters contemplated by Section 6.09 of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Stockholder makes no representations, warranties or covenants with respect to the actions of any of the Company Related Parties, and (iii) any breach by the Company of its obligations under the Merger Agreement shall not be considered a breach by the Stockholder under this Agreement.

Any Transfer of any Covered Shares in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect. “Permitted Transferee” shall mean (a) with respect to any Person that is an individual, any member of such individual’s immediate family and/or any trust, partnership, limited liability company, or other similar estate planning vehicle that such individual controls and the beneficiaries of which are only such individual or such individual’s
6
immediate family, and any other transferee who receives Covered Shares by will or the Laws of descent and distribution; and (b) with respect to any other Person, any Affiliate of such Person. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Stockholder, or obligate or require the Stockholder to, exercise an option to purchase any Company Shares. In furtherance of this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company to enter, or cause its transfer agent to enter, a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Stockholder’s Covered Shares with respect to any Transfer not permitted hereunder. In the event that the Stockholder intends to undertake a Permitted Transfer of any of the Stockholder’s Covered Shares, the Stockholder shall provide notice thereof to Acquiror and shall authorize the Company to, or authorize the Company to instruct its transfer agent to, (i) lift any stop transfer order in respect of the Stockholder’s Covered Shares to be so Transferred in order to effect such Permitted Transfer only upon certification by Acquiror (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) that the written agreement to be entered into by the transferee agreeing to be bound by this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof is satisfactory to Acquiror and (ii) re-enter any stop transfer order in respect of the Stockholder’s Covered Shares to be so Transferred upon completion of the Permitted Transfer.

13. Entire Agreement. Without limiting the terms of the Merger Agreement any other Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement contemplated thereby, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

15. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
16. Assignment. No party hereto shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 16 shall be null and void, ab initio.
17. Other Remedies; Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 17 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.
18. Governing Law and Venue; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.
(b) Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, the state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law, or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 18.
10
(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered electronically or by facsimile shall be deemed to be original signatures.
20. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
21. Mutual Drafting. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision.
22. No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, and no abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.
23. Interpretation. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. References to any person include the successors and permitted assigns of that person. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no
11
presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. All references in this to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, cash dividend, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction after the date hereof.
24. Capacity as a Stockholder.
