NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Insiders and the Company hereby agree as follows:
1. Voting Agreement. Each Insider agrees that, at the Parent Stockholders Meeting, at any other meeting of the stockholders of Parent (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting, however called and including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of Parent, each Insider shall:
a. when such meeting is held, appear in person or by proxy at such meeting or otherwise cause the Insider Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum;
b. vote (or execute and return an action by written 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 of such Insider’s Insider Shares in favor of (i) the approval and adoption of the Plan of Merger and approval of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Merger and (ii) against any action, agreement or transaction or proposal that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Parent under the Plan of Merger or that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the Merger from being consummated and (iii) each of the proposals and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by Parent for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Merger; and
c. vote (or execute and return an action by written 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 of such Insider’s Insider
Shares against (i) any Acquisition Proposal other than with the Company and (ii) any other action that would reasonably be expected to (x) materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Merger, or (y) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of such Insider contained in this Agreement.
2. Transfer of Shares. Except as otherwise contemplated by the Plan of Merger or this Agreement, each Insider agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), create any lien or pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of such Insider’s Insider Shares or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing, (b) deposit any of such Insider’s Insider Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement or (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking requiring the direct acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of such Insider’s Insider Shares; provided however, that each Insider may sell up to the percentage of its or his holdings set forth opposite such Insider’s name on Schedule 1.
3. No Solicitation of Transactions. Each Insider agrees not to directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, representative, agent or otherwise, (a) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by furnishing information) the submission of, or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, any transaction in violation of the Plan of Merger or (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person or other entity or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, any information with the intent to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with respect to, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage, any unsolicited proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or other transaction in violation of the Plan of Merger. Each Insider shall, and shall cause its affiliates and Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person (other than with the Company, its stockholders and their respective affiliates and Representatives) conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to, or which is reasonably likely to give rise to or result in, an Acquisition Proposal. If an Insider receives any inquiry or proposal with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, then such Insider shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after such Insider becomes aware of such inquiry or proposal) notify such person in writing that Parent is subject to an exclusivity agreement with respect to the Merger that prohibits such Insider from considering such inquiry or proposal.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Insiders. Each Insider, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to Parent and the Company as follows:

e. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Insider does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Merger will not, constitute or result in (i) with respect to an Insider that is not a natural person, a breach or violation of, or a default under, the limited liability company agreement or similar governing documents of such Insider, (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation, modification or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on any of the properties, rights or assets of such Insider pursuant to any contract binding upon such Insider or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), compliance with the matters referred to in Section 1, under any applicable Law to which such Insider is subject or (iii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any contract legally binding upon such Insider, except, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) directly above, for any such breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair such Insider’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Merger.
