Xxxxxxxxxx”), individually, Greenwood Investments, Inc. (“Greenwood”), Greenwood Capital LP, and Greenwood Investors LP (the “Investors”, and together with Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx and the Investors, the “Greenwood Stockholders”), and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (“Xx. Xxxxxxx”), individually , and Xxxxxxx Corporation, (the “Xxxxxxx Stockholders” and together with the Greenwood Stockholders, the “Stockholders”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Investors are entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) providing for the sale and issuance of secured 1% convertible notes due July 30, 2014 in an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 million (the “Notes”), which, among other things, will be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Notes, and in connection with that agreement the parties desire to provide the Stockholders with certain contractual rights with regard to the election of members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Voting Provisions Regarding Board of Directors.

1.1 Size of the Board. Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares (as defined below) held by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting power or control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that the size of the Board shall be set and remain at four (4) directors until the Company’s Annual Meeting of stockholders held in 2011 or 2012, on which date the size of the Board shall be reduced and set and remain at three (3) directors. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Shares” shall mean and include any securities the holders of which are entitled to vote for members of the Board, including without limitation, all shares of Common Stock, any preferred stock of the Company and any other securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or voting capital stock of the Company, by whatever name called, whether now held or subsequently acquired, however acquired, whether through purchase, gift, stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, similar events or otherwise.

1.2 Board Composition.

(a) Each Xxxxxxx Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares held by such Stockholder, or over which such Xxxxxxx Stockholder has voting power or control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of the stockholders, one person (the “Greenwood Designee”) designated by the Greenwood Stockholders shall be elected to the Board, which individual shall initially be Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx. The Xxxxxxxxx Designee shall be appointed to any and all Committees of the Board designated by the Greenwood Stockholders.

Execution Copy

(b) Each Greenwood Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares held by them, or over which such Stockholder has voting power or control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of the stockholders, one person (the “Xxxxxxx Designee”) designated by the Xxxxxxx Stockholders shall be elected to the Board, which individual shall initially be Xxxxx Xxxxxxx. The Xxxxxxx Designee shall be appointed to any and all Committees of the Board designated by the Xxxxxxx Stockholders, provided, however, that so long as Xx. Xxxxxxx serves as an officer of the Corporation the Xxxxxxx Designee shall not be entitled to be elected to the Compensation Committee.

1.3 Failure to Designate a Board Member. In the absence of any designation from a Stockholder to designate a director as specified above, the director previously designated by it and then serving shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as provided herein.

1.4 Removal of Board Members. Each Stockholder also agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares held by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting power or control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that:

(a) no director elected pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Agreement may be removed from office other than for cause unless (i) such removal is directed or approved by the affirmative vote of the Stockholders for whom that director is a designee or (ii) such Stockholder is no longer so entitled to designate or approve such director;

(b) any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected pursuant to Section 1.2 shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1;

(c) upon the request of a Stockholder to remove a director designated by it pursuant to Section 1.2 (or to appoint a new director pursuant to Section 1.2), such incumbent director shall be removed; and

(d) if on any date the size of the Board exceeds the size specified in Section 1.1 for such date, any director or directors selected by Greenwood for removal (other than the Xxxxxxx Designee) shall be removed so that the number of directors in office (including the any designee elected pursuant hereto) shall equal the number of directors specified in Section 1.1.

All Stockholders agree to execute any written consents required to perform the obligations of this Agreement, and the Company agrees, at the request of any party entitled to designate a director, to call an annual or special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing or removing directors.

Execution Copy

1.5 No Liability for Election of Recommended Director. No Stockholder, nor any Affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any Stockholder have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

2. Observer Right. In the event and at anytime a Stockholder no longer has the ability to designate a member of the Board of Directors or the designee for a Stockholder resigns or is unavailable or unable to attend meetings of the Board of Directors, at the request of the designating Stockholder, the Company shall invite a representative of such Stockholder selected by that Stockholder( each an “Observer”) to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors (and all committees thereof) in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give the Observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that it provides to its directors at the same time provided to the directors; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to exclude the Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof but only to the extent that (a) the Company believes upon advice of counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege or (b) such material or meeting or portion thereof relates directly to transactions or the relationship between the Company, on the one hand, and Stockholder or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand.

3. Additional Covenants.

3.1 Vote to Increase Authorized Common Stock. Each Stockholder agrees to vote or cause to be voted all Shares held by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting power or control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from time to time to ensure that there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock available for conversion of all of the Notes at any time.

3.2 Vote to Amend the Company’s Charter and Bylaws. Each Stockholder agrees to vote or cause to be voted all Shares held by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting power or control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and Bylaws so that the stockholders of the Company shall have the ability to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting to fullest extent permissible under Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), including without limitation:

(a) deleting from the Charter Section 9(e) of Article SIXTH, which states:

6.8 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default previously or thereafter occurring.

Execution Copy

6.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) and the other Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.

6.11 Legend on Share Certificates. Each certificate representing any Shares issued after the date hereof shall be endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as follows:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY), AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT VOTING AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP SET FORTH THEREIN, TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED THEREBY.”

The Company, by its execution of this Agreement, agrees that it will cause the certificates evidencing the Shares issued after the date hereof to bear the legend required by this Section 6.11, and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Shares upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The parties to this Agreement hereby agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 6.11 and/or the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.

6.12 Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of any issuance of Shares of the Company’s voting securities hereafter to any of the Stockholders (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such Shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Subsection 6.11.

6.13 Manner of Voting. The voting of Shares pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, voting of the Shares pursuant to the Agreement need not make explicit reference to the terms of this Agreement.

At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

Execution Copy
