W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, Parent, One Eye Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein) Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS, the Stockholder is the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which meaning will apply for all purposes of this Agreement whenever the term “beneficial owner” or “beneficially own” is used) of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Shares”) as set forth on Schedule A hereto (with respect to each Stockholder, the “Owned Shares”; the Owned Shares and any additional Shares or other voting securities of the Company of which such Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof, including, without limitation, by purchase, as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange or change of such shares, or upon exercise or conversion of any securities, such Stockholder’s “Covered Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Stockholder acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of the Stockholder set forth in this Agreement and would not enter into the Merger Agreement if the Stockholder did not enter into this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound, Parent and the Stockholder agree as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Stockholder to vote or otherwise consent to any amendment to the Merger Agreement or the taking of any action that could result in the amendment, modification or a waiver of a provision therein, in any such case, in a manner that decreases the amount or changes the form of the Merger Consideration.

(d) There is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against such Stockholder or, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, any other Person or, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, threatened against the Stockholder or any other Person that restricts or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the exercise by Parent of its rights under this Agreement or the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Except as provided in the Merger Agreement, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Stockholder (in such Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company and in no other capacity).
(f) Such Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance on such Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations and warranties of such Stockholder set forth herein.
6. Certain Covenants of Stockholder. The Stockholder covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Prior to the Termination Date, such Stockholder (solely in his, her or its capacity as a stockholder and in no other capacity) shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or representatives, directly or indirectly, to:
(i) solicit, initiate, endorse, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the making by any Person (other than the other parties to the Merger Agreement) of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries, proposals or offers that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal;

| 3 |
(iv) make, or in any manner participate in a “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the SEC) of proxies or powers of attorney or similar rights to vote, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of the Shares intending to facilitate any Acquisition Proposal or cause stockholders of the Company not to vote to approve the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
(b) Such Stockholder will immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any of the matters described in Section 6(a) above, to the extent such discussions or negotiations occurred in the capacity of the Stockholder as a stockholder and in no other capacity.
(c) Prior to the Termination Date, and except as contemplated hereby, such Stockholder shall not (i) tender into any tender or exchange offer, (ii) sell (constructively or otherwise), transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (collectively “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, option, agreement or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the Transfer of any of the Covered Shares or beneficial ownership or voting power thereof or therein (including by operation of law), (iii) deposit any Covered Shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or powers of attorney or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Covered Shares or (iv) knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of such Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling such Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement, in each case other than Permitted Transfers (as defined below).

Such Stockholder further agrees to authorize and request the Company to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Covered Shares and that this Agreement places limits on the voting of the Covered Shares, other than Permitted Transfers.

(d) Prior to the Termination Date, in the event that a Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional Shares or other voting interests with respect to the Company, such Shares or voting interests shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed Covered Shares and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and the number of Shares held by such Stockholder set forth on Schedule A will be deemed amended accordingly and such Shares or voting interests shall automatically become subject to the terms of this Agreement. Each Stockholder shall promptly notify Parent and the Company of any such event.

7. Stockholder Capacity. This Agreement is being entered into by the Stockholder solely in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit the ability of any Stockholder who is a director or officer of the Company to take any action in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company. Any references to Subsidiaries, affiliates or representatives of the Stockholder in this Agreement shall not be deemed to include the Company, its Subsidiaries or affiliates, or their respective representatives.
