Holder agrees not to, directly or indirectly, take any action that would prevent or disable Holder
from performing Holder’s obligations under this Agreement at any time prior to the earlier to occur

Agreement and executes and delivers to the parties hereto a written consent memorializing such
agreement and (ii) upon the vesting of restricted stock awards of Company Common Stock but only to
the extent of such Holder’s income or other tax liability with respect to such vested restricted

2. Agreement to Vote Shares.
(a) Until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time and the Expiration Date, at every meeting

proxy) and shall vote or consent the Shares and any New Shares (i) in favor of adoption of the
Merger Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) against any
proposal for any recapitalization, merger, sale of assets or other business combination (other than
the Merger) between the Company and any person or entity other than Newco, or any other action or
agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation
or warranty or other obligation or agreement of Holder under this Agreement or which is designed to

of the Company only with respect to the specific matters set forth herein. Except as set forth in

of, against or abstaining with respect to any other matter presented to the shareholders of the
Company. Prior to the termination of this Agreement, Holder covenants and agrees not to enter into
any agreement or understanding with any person to vote or give instructions in any manner

an Opposing Proposal (as defined below), (B) initiate a shareholders’ vote with respect to an
Opposing Proposal or (C) become a member of a “group” (as such term is used in

Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of the Company with
respect to an Opposing Proposal. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Opposing
Proposal” means any action or proposal described in clause (ii) of Section 2(a) above.

Company Shareholder Meeting, to vote his Shares at the Company Shareholder Meeting, however called,
and to execute consents in respect of his Shares as and to the extent provided in Section
2(a). SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5 HEREOF, THIS PROXY AND POWER OF
ATTORNEY IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Holder
hereby revokes any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney given by Holder with respect to
