of the Company as to which such Shareholder acquires beneficial ownership after the date hereof and
prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of all of the Shareholder’s
obligations under this Agreement, including any shares of Common Stock acquired by means of

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of, and has good and marketable title to, the Covered Shares set
forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule A hereto, free and clear of any and all liens,
claims, security interests, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, options, rights, understandings
or arrangements or any other encumbrances whatsoever on title, transfer, or exercise of any rights
of a Shareholder in respect of such Covered Shares (collectively, “Encumbrances”) except
for restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Encumbrances arising
hereunder; (ii) does not own, of record or beneficially, any shares of capital stock of the Company
(or rights to acquire any such shares) other than the Covered Shares set forth on Schedule A

contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the
Shareholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and other
similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
2
(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder, the performance
by the Shareholder of such Shareholder’s obligations hereunder nor the consummation by the
Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) result in a violation or breach of, or

instrument or obligation of any kind to which such Shareholder is a party or by which such
Shareholder’s Covered Shares are bound, except with respect to clause (B) for any such violations,
breaches, defaults or conflicts as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the
aggregate, to materially impair the ability of such Shareholder to perform his or its obligations
hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis, or (ii) violate,
or require any consent, approval, or notice under, any provision of any judgment, order or decree
or any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment,

Shares (other than filings required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,

mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit or other instrument or obligation
of any kind to which such Parent or Purchaser is a party or by which Parent or Purchaser or their
assets are bound, except with respect to clause (B) for any such violations, breaches, defaults or
conflicts as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to
materially impair the ability of Parent or Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis, or (ii) violate, or require any
consent, approval, or notice under, any provision of any judgment, order or decree or any federal,
state, local or foreign statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or legal

SECTION 3. Tender of the Covered Shares. Unless this Agreement shall have been
terminated in accordance with its terms, and subject to Section 5, each Shareholder hereby agrees
that it shall (i) tender its Covered Shares or cause to be tendered (and deliver any certificates

to the extent any of such certificates have been lost, misplaced or destroyed), into the Offer
promptly following the date the Offer is commenced, and in any event no later than five (5)
Business Days prior to the Initial Expiration Date of the Offer, free and clear of all Encumbrances
and (ii) not withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, its Covered Shares from the Offer at any time. If
a Shareholder acquires Covered Shares after the date hereof, unless this Agreement shall have been
terminated in accordance with its terms, such Shareholder shall (A) tender, or cause to be

prior to the Initial Expiration Date or, if later, on or before the second (2nd)
Business Day after such acquisition but in any event prior to the Expiration Date, and (B) not

SECTION 4. Option.
(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Shareholder hereby
grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the “Option”) to purchase all of the right, title
and interest of such Shareholder in and to such Shareholder’s Covered Shares at a
4
price equal to the Offer Price. Parent may exercise an Option in whole, but not in part, if,
but only if, (i) Purchaser has acquired shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and (ii) such
Shareholder shall have failed to tender into the Offer any Covered Shares or shall have withdrawn
the tender of any Covered Shares into the Offer. Parent may exercise an Option at any time within
the sixty (60) days following the date when such Option first becomes exercisable.
(b) In the event that Parent is entitled to and wishes to exercise an Option, Parent shall
send a written notice to the relevant Shareholder(s) specifying the place and the date for the
closing of such purchase, which date shall be not more than sixty (60) days after the date of such
notice; provided that in the event that prior notification to, or approval of, any
Governmental Entity is required in connection with the exercise of an Option or there shall be in
effect any preliminary or final injunction or other order issued by any Governmental Entity
prohibiting the exercise of an Option, the period of time during which the date of the closing may
be fixed shall be extended until the tenth (10th) day following the last date on which
all required approvals shall have been obtained, all required waiting periods shall have expired or
been terminated and any such prohibition shall have been vacated, terminated or waived.
(c) At the closing of the purchase of a Shareholder’s Covered Shares pursuant to exercise of
an Option, simultaneously with the payment by the Parent of the purchase price for a Shareholder’s
Covered Shares, such Shareholder shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Purchaser
certificates representing such Covered Shares duly endorsed to the Parent or accompanied by stock
powers or other transfer documents duly executed by the Company in blank, together with any
necessary stock transfer stamps properly affixed, free and clear of all Encumbrances.
(d) Parent, Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold
from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 4 to a holder of Covered Shares
such amounts as are required to be withheld under the Code, or any applicable provision of state,
local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall
be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Covered
Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
SECTION 5. Transfer of the Covered Shares; Other Actions. Prior to the termination of
this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein (including pursuant to Sections 3, 4 or 7
hereof), each Shareholder shall not: (i) transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, pledge or otherwise
dispose (whether by sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, dividend,
5
distribution or otherwise) of, or consent to any of the foregoing (“Transfer”), any
Covered Shares or any right or interest therein; (ii) enter into any contract, option or other
agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Transfer of Covered Shares; (iii) grant
any proxy or power-of-attorney with respect to any of the Covered Shares; (iv) deposit any of the
Covered Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to
any of the Covered Shares; or (v) take any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere in
any material respect with the performance of such Shareholder’s obligations hereunder or the
transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding sentence shall not
prohibit a Transfer of Covered Shares by Shareholder: (A) if Shareholder is an individual, to any
member of Shareholder’s immediate family, or to a trust established for the benefit of Shareholder
and/or for the benefit of one or more members of Shareholder’s immediate family or established for
charitable purposes, or upon the death of Shareholder, or (B) if Shareholder is a partnership,
limited liability company or trust, to one or more partners or members of Shareholder or to an
affiliated corporation under common control with Shareholder or to any trustee or beneficiary of
the trust, provided that any Transfer permitted pursuant to (A) or (B) above shall be
permitted only if, as a precondition to such transfer, the transferee of such Covered Shares agrees
in writing with Parent and Purchaser to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
SECTION 6. Covenant to Vote; Irrevocable Proxy.
(a) Prior to termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Shareholder
hereby agrees to vote all Covered Shares as to which the Shareholder has sole or shared voting
power (the “Vote Shares”), or to provide a written consent in respect of the Vote Shares,
in connection with any meeting of the Shareholders of the Company or any action by written consent
in lieu of a meeting of Shareholders of the Company (i) in favor of the Merger (including adoption
of the Merger Agreement) and/or (ii) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be
expected to impede, delay or interfere with, or prevent, the Merger, including, but not limited to,
any other extraordinary corporate transaction, including, a merger, acquisition, sale,
consolidation, reorganization or liquidation involving the Company and a third party, or any other
Acquisition Proposal proposed by a third party.
(b) In furtherance of the agreements herein and until the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms, each Shareholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Parent and
any person or persons designated in writing by Parent, and each of them individually, such
Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name,
place and stead of such Shareholder, to vote all Vote Shares, or grant a consent
6
or approval in respect of such Vote Shares, or execute and deliver a proxy to vote such Vote
Shares, (i) in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement and approving the transactions contemplated
thereby, including the Merger and (ii) against any Acquisition Proposal proposed by a third party
or any other matter referred to in clause (a) of Section 6 hereof.
(c) Each Shareholder represents and warrants to Parent that any proxies heretofore given by it
in respect of Covered Shares are not irrevocable, and that any such proxies are hereby revoked, and
agrees to communicate in writing notice of revocation of such proxies to the relevant proxy
holders.
(d) Each Shareholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in Section 6(b) is
given in connection with, and in consideration of, the execution of the Merger Agreement by Parent,
and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such
Shareholder under this Agreement. Each Shareholder hereby further affirms that the irrevocable
proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked. Such Shareholder
hereby ratifies and confirms all that such irrevocable proxy may lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof. Such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance
with the provisions of Section 705(e) of the CGCL until the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms.
SECTION 7. Non-Solicitation. Each Shareholder shall not and shall not authorize or
permit its representatives to directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage
(including by way of providing non-public information) the submission of any Acquisition Proposal
or engage in any discussions or negotiations with respect thereto or otherwise cooperate with or
assist or participate in, or knowingly facilitate any such Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) approve or
recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal or enter into any
merger agreement, letter of intent, agreement in principle, share purchase agreement, asset
purchase agreement or share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement
relating to an Acquisition Proposal or enter into any letter of intent, agreement or agreement in
principle requiring the Shareholder (whether or not subject to conditions) to abandon, terminate or
fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 8. Further Assurances. Each Shareholder shall, upon request of Parent or
Purchaser, execute and deliver any additional documents and take such further actions as may
reasonably be deemed by Parent or Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to carry out the
provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall require a Shareholder to exercise
any option to purchase shares of Common Stock.
7
SECTION 9. Termination. This Agreement, and all rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall terminate on the earliest of: (a) the date and time the Merger Agreement is
validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) the Effective Time and (c) with respect to any
Shareholder, such date and time as any amendment or change to the Merger Agreement or the Offer
that decreases the Offer Price or changes the form of consideration in the Offer is effected
without the consent of such Shareholder. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party
from liability for any breach hereof prior to such termination. Section 11 and Section 13 shall
survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10. Waiver of Dissenter’s Rights. Each Shareholder waives and agrees not to
exercise any rights to dissent or similar rights with respect to the Merger or other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement that the Shareholder may have with respect to the

SECTION 11. Expenses. All fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees,
costs and expenses.
SECTION 12. Stop Transfer Order; Legend. In furtherance of this Agreement,
concurrently herewith, each Shareholder shall, and hereby does authorize the Company or its counsel
to, notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of
the Covered Shares of such Shareholder (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and
transfer of such Covered Shares). The parties hereto agree that such stop transfer order shall be
removed and shall be of no further force and effect upon termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 13. Shareholder Capacity. It is understood that the Shareholder enters into
this Agreement solely in such Shareholder’s capacity as a Shareholder of the Company. Nothing
herein shall be construed as preventing a Shareholder, or a director, officer or employee of a
Shareholder or Affiliate of a Shareholder, who is an officer or director of the Company, from
fulfilling the obligations of such office (including the performance of obligations required by the
fiduciary obligations of such Shareholder, or director, officer or employee of a Shareholder or
Affiliate of a Shareholder, acting solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the
Company), but nothing in this Section 13 is intended to modify any of the rights or obligations
under the Merger Agreement.
