(i) Subject
to the limitations of Section 3(c)(ii), Seller hereby appoints Xxxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx as its true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power
of substitution, to vote all of the Shares in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The proxy and power of attorney granted herein shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable, and shall survive
the death, disability, incompetency, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of
Seller. Furthermore, Seller will, from time to time as requested by Buyer,
execute and deliver such further instruments, ancillary agreements or other
documents or take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable to give
effect to, confirm, evidence or effectuate the purposes of the proxy granted by
this Section 3(c).
(ii) This
Section 3(c) shall become effective only if: (i) Seller fails to vote the Shares
in accordance with this Agreement, and/or (ii) Buyer notifies Seller of its
intent to exercise the Purchase Option in accordance with Section 5 and payment
of the Aggregate Purchase Price is made to the Escrow Agent.
(d) Evidence of

Incorporation, and (ii) its exercise of Redemption Rights, within one (1)
business day of any reasonable request by Buyer for such evidence.
4. Agreement to
Vote upon
Exercise of the Purchase Option. Upon the exercise of the
Purchase Option and receipt by the mutually agreed upon escrow agent (the
“Escrow Agent”) of: (i) the Aggregate Purchase Price and (ii) a letter in
substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto:
Seller shall withdraw its exercise of Redemption Rights with respect to the
Shares and shall vote the Shares in favor of, or abstain from voting upon, the
proposals to be submitted (i) by written consent of the stockholders of Company,
or (ii) at the special (or annual) meeting, or adjournment thereof (the
“Meeting”), each as called for by the Company or the consenting stockholders to
vote upon (A) the Business Combination or (B) any amendment to the Certificate
of Incorporation, (1) Seller shall withdraw and revoke its exercise of
Redemption Rights, (2) shall vote in favor of, or abstain from voting upon, the
Business Combination and the other proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement
and/or any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, and (3) will execute
all necessary documents and take all actions required in furtherance of such
required action and revocation. If, following the exercise of the
Purchase Option, Seller does not comply with the provisions of Section 4 as a
result of circumstances beyond the control of Seller; Buyer’s sole remedy shall
be the return of the Option Price paid for such subject Shares.
5. Exercise of Purchase
Option. Buyer shall exercise the Purchase Option by delivering
to Seller written notice, by electronic mail, facsimile or otherwise, at the
address set forth in Section 21, containing (i) an acknowledgement of Buyer’s
intent to exercise the Purchase Option and (ii) whether Seller should vote the
Shares in favor of, against or abstain from voting upon, each proposal to be
presented at the Meeting or upon any such action by written
consent. The exercisability of the Purchase Option shall terminate in
accordance with Section 11 hereof.

Buyer. Upon the settlement of the Shares, the Escrow Agent shall pay

publicly via the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval
system.
(c) Authority. This
Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and,
assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by Buyer, is a
valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
the general principles of equity and to bankruptcy or other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement by Seller does not and will not conflict with,
