described in this Section 1.3.

pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to any rights in and to the
Escrow Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), such Stockholder will
have no other claim against the Company or the Buyer, or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors, for any
amount owing to it (a) in such Stockholder's capacity as a stockholder of
the Company, or, after the Merger, as a stockholder of the Buyer in respect
of such Stockholder's rights as a stockholder of the Company or (b)
pursuant to the Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Company or the DGCL (except for any rights to appraisal provided
pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL) or (c) relating to or in connection
with the Merger, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated
thereby (a "Claim"). Each Stockholder hereby waives, effective as of the
Effective Time, all Claims it may have, whether known or unknown by such
Stockholder on the date hereof.

Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that such
Stockholder will not, prior to the termination of this Agreement, either
directly or indirectly, offer or otherwise agree to sell, assign, pledge,
hypothecate, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of (collectively, a
"Disposition") any Covered Shares or options to purchase Company Stock
("Options") or any other securities or rights convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Company Stock, owned either directly or
indirectly by such Stockholder or with respect to which such Stockholder
has the power of Disposition, whether now or hereafter acquired, without
the prior written consent of the Buyer, other than a Disposition to any
partner or member of any Stockholder or any subsidiary or partnership or
other business entity under common control with such Stockholder, provided

Agreement.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
Each Stockholder hereby severally represents and warrants
(solely with respect to such Stockholder) to, and covenants and agrees
with, the Buyer as follows:
Section 3.1 Valid and Binding Agreement. This Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable in accordance
with its terms.
Section 3.2 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not and will not
result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or an event that with
notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or result in
the creation of any lien or encumbrance on any of the Covered Shares (other
than pursuant to the terms hereof). The Stockholder has not entered into,
and shall not enter into, any agreement, and has not granted, and shall not
grant any proxy or power of attorney, in any such case which is
inconsistent with this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
TERMINATION
This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the earliest
to occur of (a) the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or
(b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms,
provided, however, that if the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Buyer
pursuant to Section 9.1(d) thereof and any fee payable pursuant to Section
9.3 of the Merger Agreement is to be paid in respect of such termination,
this Agreement shall terminate upon the date on which such a fee is paid.
Upon such termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any obligation
or liability hereunder; provided that if such termination is pursuant to
clause (b) immediately above, such termination shall not relieve any party
from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS

irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of
this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specified terms or

party hereto shall be borne by the party incurring such fees and expenses.
Section 5.3 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their

or exchangeable for shares of Company Stock, by operation of law or
otherwise, such shares shall be deemed to be Covered Shares and shall be

hereof may be amended, supplemented or terminated except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto, and no provision hereof may be
waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the waiving party. The
waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereof shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of
the same or any other provision hereof.
Section 5.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of
this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any
rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this
Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good
faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the terms of
this Agreement remain as originally contemplated to the fullest extent
possible.
