Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Stockholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person prior to the termination of this Agreement to vote in any manner inconsistent herewith. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the obligations of the Stockholder specified in this Section 1(a) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to Parent of any Parent Takeover Proposal prior to the Termination Date.

(b) Irrevocable Proxy. The Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies and powers of attorney granted with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares, and the Stockholder shall not grant any subsequent proxy or power of attorney with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares, except as set forth in this Agreement or required by a Letter of Transmittal. By entering into this Agreement, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(b), the Stockholder hereby grants, or agrees to cause the applicable record holder to grant, a proxy appointing the Company, any designee of the Company and each of the Company’s officers, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, as such Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, for and in such Stockholder’s name, to be counted as present and vote and express consent or dissent with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares for the purposes set forth in Section 1(a). The proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1(b) is, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(b), irrevocable and is coupled with an interest, in accordance with Section 212(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and is granted in order to secure such Stockholder’s performance under this Agreement and also in consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement and the Merger Agreement. If Stockholder fails for any reason to be counted as present, consent or vote such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 1(a), then the Company shall have the right to cause to be present, consent or vote such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(a). The proxy granted by the Stockholder shall be automatically revoked upon the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.
(c) Stockholder Restrictions. From the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date and except as otherwise contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder shall not (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, or limitation on the voting rights of, any of such Stockholder’s Shares (any such action, a “Transfer”); provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the exercise by the Stockholder of any options to purchase Shares, (ii) deposit any of such Stockholder’s Shares into a voting trust or enter into a separate voting agreement with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares, (iii) take any action, either directly or indirectly, that would cause any representation or warranty of such Stockholder contained herein to become untrue or incorrect, in each case, in any material respect, or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing or disabling such Stockholder from performing its, his or her obligations under this Agreement or (iv) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions. Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder may make Transfers of Shares by will, for estate or tax planning purposes, for charitable purposes or as charitable gifts or donations; provided, that, as a condition to any such Transfer, each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to such Stockholder and to hold such Shares subject to all the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as such terms and provisions bound such Stockholder. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include the initial transferee and any and all subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date.
(d) Additional Shares. The Stockholder hereby agrees, during the term of this Agreement, to promptly notify the Company of any new Shares acquired by such Stockholder, if any, after the execution of this Agreement. Any such Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement as though owned by such Stockholder on the date of this Agreement. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Parent Common Stock by reason of any split-up, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, reincorporation, exchange of shares or the like, the terms “Existing Shares” and “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.
(e) Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in the Company, any of the Persons identified in Section 1(b) or any other Person any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to, or pecuniary interest in, any of the Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to, and pecuniary interest in, the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholder, and neither the Company, the Persons identified in Section 1(b) nor any other Person shall have any power or authority to direct the Stockholder in the voting or disposition of any of the Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
