AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as
follows:
1. Agreement to Vote Shares. Prior to the Termination Date, at every meeting of the
stockholders of the Company (or of the holders of any class of stock of the Company’s capital
stock) called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement
thereof, with respect to any of the following, the Stockholder shall vote with respect to the
Subject Securities: (a) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger
and the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or would reasonably be expected to
facilitate the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other actions and transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the Proxy (the “Merger Proposals”), (b) against any
Acquisition Proposal between the Company and any Person other than Parent or Purchaser and (c)
against any other action, agreement or proposal that could reasonably be expected to result in any
of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled
or which could reasonably be expected to otherwise impede, interfere with, delay,
postpone or materially adversely affect the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement.
2. Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder
agrees to deliver to Parent a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Proxy”), which is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent
permitted by law, with
respect to the shares referred to therein, which Proxy shall remain in
effect until the Termination Date.
3. Agreement to Retain Shares.
(a) Restriction on Transfer. Except pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement or
otherwise provided in Section 3(c) of this Agreement, during the period from the date of this
Agreement through the Termination Date, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, cause or
permit any Transfer of any of the Subject Securities to be effected. Any Transfer of any Subject
Securities in violation of this Section 3 shall be void and have no force or effect.
(b) Restriction on Transfer of Voting Rights. During the period from the date of this
Agreement through the Termination Date, the Stockholder shall not: (a) grant any proxy or power of
attorney, deposit any of the Subject Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting
agreement or similar arrangement with respect to the Subject Securities except as provided in this
Agreement; or (b) take any other action that would make any representation or warranty of the
Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the
Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the
other documents contemplated hereby and thereby respectively.
(c) Permitted Transfers. Section 3(a) shall not prohibit a Transfer of Subject Securities by
the Stockholder upon the death of the Stockholder; provided, however, that a Transfer referred to
in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee (i)
agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and refrain from any and all Transfers of the Subject Securities, and (ii)
delivers a Proxy to Parent in substantially the form of Exhibit A.
4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby
represents and warrants to Parent as follows:
(a) Due Authorization, Etc. All consents, approvals, authorizations, filings and orders
necessary for the execution and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement and the Proxy have
been obtained or made, and the Stockholder has legal capacity, power and authority to enter into
this Agreement and the Proxy. This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the Stockholder and constitute valid and binding agreements or instruments of the
Stockholder enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the same may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.
(b) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Proxy by the
Stockholder do not, and the performance of this Agreement and the Proxy by the Stockholder
will not conflict with, violate or result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice
or the passage of time) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination,
cancellation, material modification or acceleration) under (i) the organizational documents of the
Stockholder, if any, (ii) any law, rule, regulation, order, decree or judgment applicable to the
Stockholder, the Subject Securities held by the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder’s other
properties or assets
or (iii) any contract, indenture, guarantee, lease, mortgage, license or other
agreement, instrument, obligation or undertaking of any kind to which Stockholder is a party or by
which the Stockholder or any of its properties or assets are bound.

power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth herein, power of disposition,
power of conversion, power to demand appraisal rights and power to agree to all of the matters set

will be, held by the Stockholder or by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of the Stockholder,

any stock dividend, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of stock or the like other
than pursuant to the Merger, the term “Subject Securities” will be deemed to refer to and include

request for the purpose of carrying out and furthering the intent of this Agreement.

the interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by the Stockholder, and any
attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any of such interests or obligations shall be
void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Stockholder and
the Stockholder’s heirs, estate, executors and personal representatives and the Stockholder’s
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Parent and its successors and assigns.
Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth in Section 3(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement,
this Agreement shall be binding upon any Person to whom any Subject Securities are transferred.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any Person (other than Parent and its successors
and assigns) any rights or remedies of any nature.
(b) Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event
that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Proxy were not performed in accordance with its
specific terms or were otherwise breached and in the event of any breach or threatened breach by
the Stockholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or in the Proxy, Parent
shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary
damages) to seek (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and
performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or
threatened breach.
(c) Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure on the part of Parent to exercise any power,
right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of Parent in exercising
any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such
power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right,
privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power,
right, privilege or remedy. Parent shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to

Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set
forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Parent; and any such waiver
shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive to, and
not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts
or choice of law.

facsimile), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute
one instrument.
(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Proxy constitute the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties with respect thereto. No addition to or modification of any
provision of this Agreement shall be binding upon any party unless made in writing and signed by
the party against whom enforcement is sought.
(g) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered personally or by courier, overnight delivery
service or confirmed facsimile, or forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the regular mail
as certified or registered mail (airmail if sent internationally) with postage prepaid, if such
notice is addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address or facsimile number as set
forth below, or as subsequently modified by written notice.
(h) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application
thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the
application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as
reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto further agree to replace
such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that
will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or
unenforceable provision.
(i) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF PARENT, PURCHASER AND THE STOCKHOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVE AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING
