NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual premises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Section 1.01 Voting of the Covered Shares. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that, during the Voting Period (as hereinafter defined), at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special), however called, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in any other circumstances (including an action by written consent) upon which a vote or other approval is sought, the Stockholder shall, (i) when a meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Shares as to which the Stockholder controls the right to vote to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum and respond to any other request by Parent for written consent, and (ii) vote (or cause to be voted) in person or by proxy and express consent in respect of all Covered Shares as to which the Stockholder controls the right to vote:
(a) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger, the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and any other matter to be approved by the stockholders of the Company to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;
(b) against (A) any extraordinary corporate transaction (other than the Merger), such as a merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) any amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (C) any other proposal, action or transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal, action or transaction would reasonably be expected to in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated thereby and (D) any extraordinary dividend, distribution or recapitalization by the Company or change in capital structure of the Company (other than pursuant to or as expressly permitted by the Merger Agreement) (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (A) through (D) being referred to as “Competing Actions”); and
(c) not take any action by written consent to approve any Competing Action.
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Voting Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof and ending immediately prior to any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms pursuant to Article IV hereof.

Section 1.02 No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Covered Shares. Except as provided in this Agreement, all rights, ownership and
2
economic benefits of and relating to the Covered Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholder, and Parent shall not have any power or authority to direct the Stockholder in the exercise of its rights hereunder with respect to the Covered Shares, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, or in the performance of the Stockholder’s duties or responsibilities as a stockholder, director or officer the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as (i) obligating the Stockholder to exercise any warrants, options, conversion of convertible securities or otherwise acquire Company Common Stock or (ii) creating or forming a “group” with any other Person, including Parent, for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act or any other similar provision of applicable Law.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and, assuming due authorization and valid execution and delivery by Parent, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). If this Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity with respect to the Stockholder, the person signing this Agreement has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement.
Section 2.02 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not, and the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement and the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Stockholder, the Covered Shares or any of the Stockholder’s other properties or assets or (ii) result in any violation or the breach of, or constitute a default under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or any payments under, or result in a loss of a benefit or in the creation or imposition of an encumbrance under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any contract, note, lease, mortgage, indenture, license or other instrument to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Covered Shares are bound, except for conflicts, violations, breaches or defaults that would not prevent, delay or impede the performance by the Stockholder of any of its obligations hereunder or interfere with the exercise by Parent or its designees of its rights with respect to the Covered Shares under this Agreement.
Section 2.03 Ownership of the Owned Shares. As of the date hereof, the Stockholder has good and valid and marketable title to and is the record or beneficial owner of the Owned Shares set forth on Schedule A free and clear of all pledges, liens, proxies, claims, charges, security interests, preemptive rights, voting trusts, voting agreements, options, rights of first offer

Section 2.04 Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no suit, action, proceeding or regulatory investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened, against the Stockholder that restricts in any material respect or prohibits (or, if successful, would reasonably be expected to restrict or prohibit) the performance by the Stockholder of any of its obligations under this Agreement or interfere with the exercise by Parent or its designees of its rights with respect to the Covered Shares under this Agreement.
Section 2.05 No Setoff.

COVENANTS OF THE STOCKHOLDER.
Section 3.01 No Transfer. Other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of Parent, during the Voting Period, the Stockholder agrees not to, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, pledge, assign, transfer, tender, exchange, offer, encumber, lend or otherwise dispose of (including by gift, merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law), or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect assignment, transfer, tender, exchange, offer, encumbrance or other disposition of (including by gift, merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law) (each, a “Transfer”), any Covered Shares, (ii) grant any proxies, options, rights of first offer or refusal or power of attorney or enter into any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to any Covered Shares, or (iii) take any action that would make any of its representations or warranties contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing, disabling or impeding the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement or interfere with the exercise by Parent or its designees of its rights with respect to the Covered Shares under this Agreement. Any action taken or attempted to be taken in violation of the preceding sentence will be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Stockholder may Transfer any or all of the Covered Shares (i) by will, or by operation of law, in which case this Agreement shall bind the transferee, or (ii) in connection with estate and charitable planning purposes, including Transfers to relatives, trusts and charitable organizations, so long as the transferee, prior to such Transfer executes a counterpart of this Agreement (with such modifications as Parent may reasonably request solely to reflect such Transfer) and (iii) in connection with the satisfaction of withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (including
4
performance-based restricted stock units) awarded by the Company under a Company Stock Plan.
Section 3.02 Stop Transfer Order.

Section 3.03 Notice of Additional Shares/Transfers. The Stockholder shall as promptly as practicable notify Parent of the number of any new Covered Shares acquired by the Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof.

The Stockholder shall also as promptly as practicable notify Parent of any Transfer of Covered Shares pursuant to Section 3.01 after the date hereof.
Section 3.04 No Restraint on Officer or Director Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no provision in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise restrict the Stockholder with respect to any act or omission that such individual may undertake or authorize in his or her capacity as a director or an officer of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, including any vote that such individual may make as a director of the Company, with respect to any matter presented to the board of directors of the Company. The agreements set forth herein shall in no way restrict the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company. The Stockholder has executed this Agreement solely in the capacity as the record and/or beneficial owner of the Covered Shares, and no action taken by any such director or officer shall be deemed to constitute a breach of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 5.04 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or any portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement (or the remaining portion thereof) or the application of such provision to any other Person or circumstances.

The Schedules are an integral part of this Agreement and are incorporated by reference into this Agreement for all purposes.
7
(b) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other party. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 5.05(b) shall be void.
Section 5.06 Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.
Section 5.07 Waivers. Any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach, or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Section 5.08 Remedies Cumulative. Other than as expressly set forth herein, the rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
Section 5.09 Parties in Interest. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing express or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties any legal or equitable rights or remedies under this Agreement.
Section 5.10 Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claims or disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or to the inducement of any party to enter into this Agreement, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise) shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, in each case without reference to any conflict of law rules that might lead to the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the application of the Laws of the State of Delaware to any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim that any such action, suit or proceeding should not be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware.
Section 5.11 Specific Performance; Submission To Jurisdiction.
(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific
8
terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions or other appropriate equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Delaware Court of Chancery (unless such court shall lack subject matter jurisdiction over such action, in which case, in any state or federal court located in Delaware), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the parties hereby waive in any such proceeding the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law and any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or any other security related to such equitable relief.
(b) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, or if such court is unavailable, any state or federal courts located in Delaware, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereby agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery (unless such court shall lack subject matter jurisdiction over such action, in which case, in any state or federal court located in Delaware). Each party hereby waives formal service of process and agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 5.11. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such courts and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 5.11.
