W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Parent and the Company and 300 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of Merger Sub, a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent with and into the Company (the “Merger”), as a result of which the Company shall be the Surviving Corporation and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, the Holder and its affiliates are the beneficial owners of 364,441,146 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Class B Common Stock”) (such shares of Company Class B Common Stock, the Holder’s and its affiliates’ “Existing Shares” and such Existing Shares, together with any additional capital stock of the Company beneficially owned or acquired by the Holder and its affiliates on or after the date hereof, the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to Parent entering into the Merger Agreement, the Holder is entering into this Agreement with Parent;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company has adopted the Merger Agreement and approved the transactions contemplated thereby, and has consented to the execution and delivery of this Agreement in connection therewith, understanding that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Holder is a material inducement and condition to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Holder and the transactions and other actions contemplated hereby constitute a Permitted Transfer (as such term is defined in the Company Charter).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

GENERAL

1.1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

ARTICLE II

AGREEMENT TO CONSENT AND VOTE

2.1. Agreement to Deliver Written Consent. Prior to the Termination Date (as defined herein), the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall, promptly following the time at which the S-4 becomes effective under the Securities Act (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours of such time) and receipt by the Holder of the Joint Proxy/Written Consent Statement, execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) the Stockholder Written Consent, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to Article VIII(A) of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation covering all of the Shares approving the Merger, adopting the Merger Agreement and approving any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger (the “Transaction Matters”). The Stockholder Written Consent shall be given in accordance with such procedures relating thereto (a) required by any relevant brokerage or other intermediary with respect to the Shares and (b) requested by Parent for the purpose of ensuring that it is duly counted for purposes of recording the results of such consent.

2.2. Agreement to Vote. Prior to the Termination Date, the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purpose of establishing a quorum and vote (or consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), all Shares:

(a) in favor of the Transaction Matters; and

(b) against (A) any agreement, transaction or proposal that relates to an Acquisition Proposal; (B) any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in the Merger Agreement; and (C) any other action that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, or this Agreement. Any attempt by the Holder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of), the Shares in contravention of this Section 2.2 shall be null and void ab initio. If the Holder is the beneficial owner, but not the holder of record, of any Shares, the Holder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the holder of record and any nominees to vote (or exercise a consent with respect to) all of such Shares in accordance with this Section 2.2.

2.3. Change in Company Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Company Board makes a Change in Company Recommendation (the “Trigger Event”), the obligations of the Holder under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above shall be modified such that the number of Shares covered by any action by written consent or voted by the Holder in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above that the Holder must consent or vote in favor of favor of approving the Transaction Matters shall be equal to the sum of (rounded up to the nearest whole share):

(a) The number of Shares that would represent as of the time of the Trigger Event thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, voting together as a single class; plus

(b) The number of Shares the aggregate voting power of which, as a percentage of the aggregate voting power of all Shares not covered by Subsection (a) of this Section 2.3, is equal to the Proportionate Percentage. The term “Proportionate Percentage,” for purposes of this Agreement, means the percentage of aggregate voting power with respect to all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock held by stockholders of the Company (excluding the Holder), voting as a single class (taking into account that each holder of Company Class A Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote per share and each holder of Company Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten (10) votes per share), voting in favor of approving the Transaction Matters. For example, if fifty percent (50%) of the total aggregate voting power with respect to all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock held by stockholders of the Company (excluding the Holder) consents or votes to approve the Transaction Matters, the Holder must consent or vote fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate voting power represented by all Shares not covered by Subsection (a) of this Section 2.3 to approve the Transaction Matters.

2.4. Proxy. The Holder hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, Parent and any person designated in writing by Parent, each of them individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to consent to or vote the Shares as indicated in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above. The Holder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and unconditional during the term of this Agreement and coupled with an interest and will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effect the intent of this proxy, and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Holder with respect to the Shares (and the Holder hereby represents that any such proxy is revocable). The proxy granted by the Holder shall be automatically revoked upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and Parent may further terminate this proxy at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Holder.

ARTICLE III

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

3.1. Waiver of Appraisal Rights; Litigation. To the full extent permitted by law, the Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, any rights of appraisal (including under Section 262 of the DGCL), any dissenters’ rights and any similar rights relating to the Merger that the Holder may directly or indirectly have by virtue of the ownership of any Shares. The Holder further agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company or any of their respective affiliates and each of their successors or directors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any claim (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives any claim or rights whatsoever with respect to any of the foregoing.

3.2. Retention of Shares. The Holder agrees that the Holder shall not, prior to the Termination Date, (a) directly or indirectly, offer for sale, sell, short sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign, or otherwise dispose of, or grant a proxy with respect to, any of the Holder’s Shares (each a “Transfer”), (b) enter into or acquire a derivative contract with respect to any of the Shares, enter into or acquire a futures or forward contract to deliver any of the Shares or enter into any other hedging or other derivative, swap, “put-call,” margin, securities lending or other transaction that has or reasonably would be expected to have the effect of changing, limiting, arbitraging or reallocating the economic benefits and risks of ownership of any of the Shares (each a “Constructive Transfer”), or (c) otherwise enter into any contract, option or arrangement or understanding with respect to a Transfer or Constructive Transfer of the Shares. Any Transfer or Constructive Transfer or attempted Transfer or attempted Constructive Transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be void ab initio. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Holder hereby authorizes and instructs the Company to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares.

3.3. Further Assurances. The Holder agrees that from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date, the Holder shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to take no action that would reasonably be likely to adversely affect or delay the ability to obtain any necessary approvals of any Regulatory Agency or the Requisite Parent Vote, as applicable, or other Governmental Entity required for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or to perform its respective covenants and agreements under this Agreement.

3.4. Fiduciary Duties. The Holder is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record or beneficial owner of the Shares and nothing herein is intended to or shall limit or affect any actions taken by any of the Holder’s designees serving solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company). The taking of any actions (or failures to act) by the Holder’s designees serving as a director of the Company shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(d) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery by the Holder of this Agreement does not, and the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder, require the Holder or any of its affiliates to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any person or Governmental Entity, except such filings and authorizations as may be required under the Exchange Act.

(e) Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against the Holder or, to the knowledge of the Holder, any other person, or, to the knowledge of the Holder, threatened against the Holder or any other person that would reasonably be expected to restrict or prohibit (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, on a timely basis.
