Shares held by such Security Holder, deposited any of the Subject Shares held

power, authority or right to vote the Subject Shares held by such Security
Holder on any matter.
2. Voting
of Shares.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 9, and without in any way limiting any Security
Holder’s right to vote the Subject Shares held by such Security Holder in his,
her or its sole discretion on any other matters that may be submitted to a
shareholder vote, consent or other approval (including by written consent)
in a
manner that is not inconsistent with such Security Holder’s obligations under
this Agreement, each Security Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the
earlier to occur of (Y) the date on which all of the matters set forth in
Sections 2(a)(1)-(5) below have been approved by the stockholders of the Company
