any agreement providing for any of the foregoing, at any time prior to the Expiration Date;
provided, however, that nothing contained herein will be deemed to restrict the
ability of Stockholder to (i) exercise, prior to the Expiration Date, any Company Options held by
Stockholder, (ii) transfer or otherwise dispose of Shares to a charitable organization qualified

set for the Company Stockholders Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement), any Shares, to its
1
limited partners and/or general partner in accordance with the terms of its limited
partnership agreement; provided however, that any transfer referred to in clauses
(ii), (iii), and (iv) of this section shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such
transfer, the transferee, whether a charitable organization, affiliated entity, individual or
trust, agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, if requested by Acquiror, to execute
a Proxy (as hereinafter defined); provided further that Stockholder shall be able to make a
one time transfer or other disposition to a charitable organization qualified under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, of up to ___shares of Company Common
Stock without such charitable organization agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. As

(b) Prior to the Expiration Date, Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, grant any
proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a
voting trust, enter into a voting agreement (other than this Agreement) or similar binding
commitment with respect to any of the Shares.
(c) Prior to the Expiration Date, Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, take any
action (other than any action of Stockholder or any representative of Stockholder or employee or

Representative’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company, in the exercise of such
Stockholder’s fiduciary or other duties with respect to an Alternative Transaction Proposal or
Superior Proposal in compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement) that would make any
representation or warranty contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of impairing the
ability of Stockholder to perform such Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement or preventing
or delaying the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) Any shares of Company Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company that
Stockholder purchases or with respect to which Stockholder otherwise acquires voting rights after
the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date, including pursuant to the exercise of
options or warrants to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (collectively, the “New Shares”)

resolution of the stockholders of the Company with respect to any of the following matters,
Stockholder shall vote, to the extent not voted by the person(s) appointed under the Proxy (as
defined in Section 3 below), (i) the Shares, (ii) any shares of Company Common Stock that have
ceased to be Shares as a result of a transfer pursuant to Section 1(a)(v) above (provided that
Stockholder is the stockholder of record as of the applicable record date and accordingly legally
entitled to vote such shares of Company Common Stock described in this clause (ii)), and (iii) any
New Shares held by Stockholder at the time any such vote is taken in favor of adoption of the

Stockholder shall deliver to Acquiror a duly executed proxy in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Proxy”), which proxy is coupled with an interest, and, until the Expiration
Date, shall be irrevocable to
2
the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, with respect to each and every meeting of
stockholders of the Company or action or approval by written resolution or consent of stockholders
of the Company with respect to the matters contemplated by Section 2 covering the total number of
Shares, any shares of Company Common Stock that have ceased to be Shares as a result of a transfer
pursuant to Section 1(a)(v) above, and New Shares in respect of which Stockholder is entitled to
vote at any such meeting or in connection with any such written consent. Upon the execution of
this Agreement by Stockholder, (i) Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies (other than
the Proxy) given by Stockholder with respect to the voting of the Shares in connection with the
matters set forth in Section 2, and (ii) Stockholder shall not grant any subsequent proxies with

4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Stockholder. Stockholder hereby
represents, warrants and covenants to Acquiror as follows as of the date hereof (except as
specifically set forth below):
(a) Stockholder is the beneficial or record owner of, or has the right to exercise voting
power over, that number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth on the signature page hereto
(all such shares owned beneficially or of record by Stockholder, or over which Stockholder
exercises voting power, on the date hereof, are collectively, the “Shares”; provided that Shares
subsequently transferred as permitted in Section 1(a) above shall from and after such transfer
cease to be considered Shares). As of the date hereof, the Shares constitute Stockholder’s entire
interest in the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Stockholder is not the beneficial or
record holder of, and does not exercise voting power over, any other outstanding shares of Company
Capital Stock. No person who is not a signatory to this Agreement has a beneficial interest in or
a right to acquire or vote any of the Shares (other than, (i) if Stockholder is a partnership, the
rights and interest of persons and entities that own partnership interests in Stockholder under the
partnership agreement governing Stockholder and applicable partnership law or (ii) if Stockholder
is a married individual and resides in a State with community property laws, the community property
interest of his or her spouse to the extent applicable under such community property laws). The
Shares are and will be at all times up until the Expiration Date free and clear of any security
interests, liens, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, agreements,
limitations on Stockholder’s voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature that would
materially and adversely affect Stockholder’s ability to perform his, her or its obligations under
this Agreement. Stockholder’s current principal residence or current place of business is set
forth on the signature page hereto.
(b) Stockholder has all requisite power, capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Stockholder and the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated
hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action, if any, on the part
of Stockholder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Stockholder and, assuming
the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Acquiror, constitutes a valid
and binding obligation of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general
principles of equity.
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with,
result in a breach or violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both)
under, or require notice to or the consent of any person under, any contract, law, rule,
regulation, judgment, order
3
or decree by which Stockholder is bound, except for such conflicts, breaches, violations or
defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect
Stockholder’s ability to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.
(d) If the Stockholder is an entity and not an individual, until the Expiration Date, such
Stockholder, in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company only, shall not, and shall not
authorize or permit any of its general partners, officers, managers, employees or affiliated
investment funds to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, seek, endorse, recommend or
support, or knowingly encourage or facilitate, any inquiry, proposal or offer from, furnish any
non-public information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with (except to
disclose the existence of the provisions of this Section 4), or enter into any agreement with, any
party or group regarding any Alternative Transaction, provided that nothing herein shall
prevent any director of the Company from exercising such director’s fiduciary duties to the
stockholders of the Company.
5. Consent and Waiver; Termination of Existing Agreements. Stockholder hereby agrees
to give any consents or waivers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the Merger
under the terms of any agreement or instrument to which Stockholder is a party or subject or in
respect of any rights Stockholder may have in connection with the Merger (whether such rights exist
under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, any Contract to which the Company
is a party or by which it is, or any of its assets are, bound under statutory or common law or
otherwise). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Stockholder hereby waives
any and all rights to contest or object to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the
Company Board of Directors’ actions in approving and recommending the Merger, the consummation of
the Merger and the other transactions provided for in the Merger Agreement, or to seek damages or
other legal or equitable relief in connection therewith. From and after the Effective Time,
Stockholder’s right to receive cash on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement shall constitute Stockholder’s sole and exclusive right against the Company and/or
Acquiror in respect of Stockholder’s ownership of the Shares and the New Shares or status as a
stockholder of the Company or any agreement or instrument with the Company pertaining to the Shares
or New Shares or Stockholder’s status as a stockholder of the Company.
6. Confidentiality. Until the Acquiror has publicly disclosed the Merger, Stockholder
shall hold any information regarding this Agreement and the Merger in strict confidence and shall
not divulge any such information to any third person.
7. Appraisal Rights. Stockholder agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal or
any dissenters’ rights that Stockholder may have (whether under Applicable Law or otherwise) or
could potentially have or acquire in connection with the Merger.

delivery service, or (ii) on the date of confirmation of receipt (or the next Business Day, if the

(b) Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto acknowledge that
Acquiror will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a
violation of any of the covenants or agreements of Stockholder set forth herein or in the Proxy.

upon any such violation of this Agreement or the Proxy, Acquiror shall have the right to enforce

other means available to Acquiror at law or in equity and Stockholder hereby waives any requirement
for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such enforcement.
(c) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties hereto; it
being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
(d) Entire Agreement; Nonassignability; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the
documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered
pursuant hereto (including, without limitation, the Proxy) (i) constitute the entire agreement
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and (ii) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any person
other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. Neither this Agreement nor any of
the rights, interests, or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole
or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by Stockholder without the prior written consent of
Acquiror, and any such assignment or delegation that is not consented to shall be null and void.
This Agreement, together with any rights, interests or obligations of Acquiror hereunder, may be
assigned or delegated in whole or in part by Acquiror to any affiliate of Acquiror without the
consent of or any action by Stockholder upon notice by Acquiror to Stockholder as herein provided.

and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
5
(e) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the
application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as
reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto further agree to use
their commercially reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this
Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the
economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
(f) Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies
herein expressly conferred upon a party shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any
other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of
any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
(g) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of
law.
(h) Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented
by legal counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and,

effect from and after the Expiration Date, and thereafter there shall be no liability or obligation
on the part of the Stockholder, provided, that no such termination shall relieve any party from
liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
