the Merger Agreement or the Merger if the Merger Agreement has, without the
consent of the Stockholder, been amended in any manner that is material and
adverse to such Stockholder) and any actions directly and reasonably related
thereto at any meeting or meetings of the stockholders of the Company, and at
any adjournment thereof or pursuant to action by written consent, at or by which

prior to the termination of the Agreement Period.
2. During the Agreement Period, each Stockholder hereby agrees that such
Stockholder shall not enter into any voting agreement or grant a proxy or power
of attorney with respect to the Schedule A Securities in any manner inconsistent

Company Common Stock set forth opposite the Stockholder's name in SCHEDULE
A hereto, (ii) has the full and unrestricted legal power, authority and
right to enter into, execute and deliver this Voting Agreement without the

unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity or unenforceability only, without in any way affecting
the remaining provisions of this Voting Agreement.
5. This Voting Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts each
of which shall be an original with the same effect as if the signatures hereto
and thereto were upon the same instrument.
6. The parties hereto agree that if, for any reason, any party hereto shall

relief, and the parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the
securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such

any other party hereto for any failure to perform its obligations under this
Voting Agreement.

enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding in respect
of the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other
disposition of, any Schedule A Securities during the term of this Agreement
unless such Stockholder first provides written notice thereof to Parent and
obtains a written agreement of the proposed transferee to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement.
11. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company understand and agree that this
Agreement pertains only to each Stockholder and not to any of its affiliates, if
any, or advisers.
12. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company severally, but not jointly,
represent and warrant to each Stockholder that there is no agreement,
understanding or commitment, written or oral, to pay any consideration directly
or indirectly in connection with the Merger or otherwise to or for the benefit
of any holder of Company Common Stock or options thereon other than as set forth
in the Merger Agreement (except, in the case of directors, employees, agents,
customers, suppliers or contractors of the Company who are also holders, such
consideration as is payable by the Company in the ordinary course of business,
and except for amounts payable to officers, directors or employees in connection
with or pursuant to any options or option, stock purchase, stock ownership or
other employee benefit plans or agreements).
13. Neither Parent, Merger Sub nor the Company will enter into any
agreement with any other stockholder of the Company having a purpose or effect
substantially similar to that of this Voting Agreement on financial terms (in
respect of such other stockholder) more favorable than the terms of this Voting
Agreement.
14. Any Stockholder who is also a director or officer of the Company will
not, by execution of this Agreement, be precluded from exercising his fiduciary
duties under applicable Law in his capacity as a director or officer with
respect to the Company and nothing herein will limit or affect, or give rise to
any liability to a Stockholder by virtue of any actions taken by such
Stockholder in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company.
15. Nothing contained in this Voting Agreement shall be deemed to vest in
Parent, Merger Sub or the Company any direct or indirect ownership or incidence
of ownership of or with respect to any Schedule A Securities. All rights,
ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Schedule A Securities
shall remain and belong to the applicable Stockholder and neither Parent, Merger
Sub nor the Company shall have any power or authority to direct any Stockholder
in the voting of any Schedule A Securities or the performance by any Stockholder
of its duties or responsibilities as a stockholder of the Company, except as
otherwise provided herein.
