1.3. “GAAP” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as consistently applied for companies that conduct their principal operations in the United States.
1.4. “Material Adverse Effect” with respect to any party to this Agreement shall mean any event, change or effect that is materially adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, liabilities, business, operations or results of operations of such party.
1.5. “Merger” shall mean the merger contemplated by and effected pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
1.6. “Merger Agreement” shall mean the Agreement and Plan of Merger to be negotiated in good faith by Acquiror and Target pursuant to which Acquiror (or, in Acquiror’s discretion, an affiliate of Acquiror) purchases all of the Target Securities (as defined below) or the Target Securities become converted into a right to receive the Option Price as a result of a statutory merger or reorganization.
1.7. “Option Exercise Date” shall mean the date during the Option Period on which Acquiror gives written notice to Target of its election to exercise the Option (as defined below) pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof; provided, however, that the Option Exercise Date shall be no earlier than June 19, 2007.

ARTICLE II
ACQUIROR OPTION TO ACQUIRE TARGET
2.1. Option to Acquire Target. In exchange for consideration in the amount of $15,000, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Target and each Stockholder hereby grant to Acquiror an exclusive, irrevocable right (the “Option”), at any time during the Option Period, to require Target to merge with Acquiror (or, in Acquiror’s discretion, an affiliate of Acquiror, provided, however, that if Acquiror decides to use an affiliate,
2
the Stockholders shall be entitled to receive Acquiror Stock at the Option Price. Each Stockholder agrees that the exercise of the Option by Acquiror in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall irrevocably bind each and every Stockholder to proceed with the Merger on the terms specified herein and in the Merger Agreement.
2.2. Determination of Option Price. The Option Price shall be determined by the mutual agreement of Target and Acquiror on the Option Exercise Date. In the event that Acquiror and Target are unable to agree upon an Option Price, the Acquiror and Target shall retain a mutually agreeable third-party valuation firm to conduct a valuation of Target. Such valuation will be performed at the expense of Target. The final determination by such valuation firm shall be binding on both parties. Following such determination of the Option Price, Acquiror shall notify Target of the number of Acquiror shares that will be tendered by Acquiror as payment of the Option Price promptly upon the making of such determination.
2.3. Terms of Option. In the event Acquiror exercises the Option, Target shall promptly (but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the Option Exercise Date) provide to Acquiror access to any documents reasonably requested by Acquiror or its representatives in connection with Acquiror’s due diligence investigation. If, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the same, Acquiror shall have indicated its determination to proceed with the acquisition of Target, it shall deliver written notice of such determination to Target and the Stockholders and Target and Acquiror shall negotiate in good faith the Merger Agreement following which the parties shall proceed toward the closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Section 2 shall release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
COVENANTS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Each Stockholder, solely as to himself or itself, represents, warrants, and covenants to Acquiror as of the date hereof as follows:
4.1. Share Ownership and Agreement to Retain Shares.
(1) Ownership. Each Stockholder is the beneficial owner of that number of Target Securities set forth on Exhibit A and has held such Target Securities at all times since the date set forth on Exhibit A. Such Target Securities constitute such Stockholder’s entire interest in the outstanding capital stock and voting securities of Target. No other person or entity not a signatory to this Agreement has a beneficial interest in or a right to acquire such Target Securities (except with respect to stockholders which are partnerships, partners, retired partners or former partners of such stockholders). Such Target Securities are and will be free and clear of any liens, claims, options, charges or other encumbrances other than the liens for taxes not yet due and payable. Each Stockholder’s principal residence or place of business is set forth on Exhibit A.
(2) No Transfers. Each Stockholder agrees not to transfer (except as may be specifically required by court order or by operation of law), sell, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber the Target Securities or any New Securities (as defined below), or to make any offer or agreement relating thereto, at any time prior to the Expiration Date; provided, that such Stockholder may other than for value (except that shares may be transferred for value provided that any such transfers are effected for a bona fide estate planning purpose (e.g. generation skipping trust) for the benefit of the permitted transferees under this paragraph), transfer Target Securities to Stockholder’s grandparents, spouse, parents, uncles, aunt, siblings, the children of such siblings, lineal descendants (in each such case whether by blood, marriage or adoption) and any other
4
relatives approved by the Board of Directors of Target or partnerships or trust for which Stockholder or such family member act as sole trustee or trustees or general partner, so long as each transferee agrees (in a writing reasonably acceptable to Acquiror, a form of which is hereby attached as Exhibit B) to be bound by this Agreement and shall have executed and delivered a Proxy (as defined below) covering such transferred Target Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon any transferee, whether the transfer is voluntary or involuntary.
(3) New Target Securities. Each Stockholder agrees that any Target Securities that such Stockholder purchases or receives or with respect to which Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date (“New Securities”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Target Securities on the date hereof.
4.2. Agreement to Vote Target Securities. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Expiration Date, at every meeting of the stockholders of Target called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of Target with respect to any of the following, each Stockholder shall vote the Target Securities and any New Securities in favor of approval of the Merger and any matter that could reasonably be expected to be necessary to facilitate the Merger.
4.3. Authority. Each Stockholder has all power and authority necessary to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out and perform such Stockholder’s obligations under the terms hereof. Each Stockholder has the sole power to dispose of his or its Target Securities either as his or its sole and separate property or as community property, as may be applicable to such Stockholder. This Agreement and the Proxy, when executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Stockholder, will constitute such Stockholder’s valid and binding obligation, enforceable against him or it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally, or is subject to general principles of equity.
4.4. No Conflict with Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Proxy and the other agreements attached hereto or entered into in connection herewith by such Stockholder do not, and will not, (i) if Stockholder is a legal entity, conflict with or violate any provision of the organizational documents, as amended, of such Stockholder; (ii) conflict with or violate any law, regulation, order, judgment, decree or governmental authorization applicable to such Stockholder or any of its properties; (iii) require any consent, approval or action of any person, or result in any conflict with or breach of or constitute a violation or default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a violation or default), under any note, mortgage, indenture, agreement, lease, license or other obligation or instrument to which such Stockholder is a party or by which he or it or any of his or its properties are bound or affected; or (iv) result in the creation of any lien, security interest, restriction or other encumbrance on any of the properties or assets of such Stockholder except as contemplated hereby.
5
4.5. No Claims Against Target. Each Stockholder has no claims (other than by virtue of owning Target Securities) against Target, does not intend to bring any claim against Target or any of its subsidiaries, and is aware of no facts that would, at this time, reasonably form the basis for any such claim against Target.
4.6. Brokers or Finders. Each Stockholder has not dealt with any broker or finder in connection with the transactions permitted by this Agreement. Each Stockholder has not incurred, and shall not incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for any brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.

PROXY

Upon the execution of this Agreement by a Stockholder, such Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to the Target Securities for purposes of approving a Takeover Proposal and agrees not to grant any subsequent proxies with respect to the Target Securities or any New Securities for the purpose of approving an Takeover Proposal (defined below) until after the Expiration Date.

During the Option Period and, if the Option is exercised, continuing until the consummation of the Merger, Target will promptly notify Acquiror in writing after Target’s receipt of any Takeover Proposal or any notice that any person is considering making a Takeover Proposal or any request for nonpublic information relating to Target or for access to the properties, books or records of Target by any person that has advised Target that it may be considering making, or that has made, a Takeover Proposal and will keep Acquiror fully informed of the status and details of any such Takeover Proposal notice, request or any correspondence or communications related thereto and shall provide Acquiror with a true and complete copy of such Takeover Proposal notice with the identity of the third party involved and the material terms of the Takeover Proposal, or request or correspondence or communications related thereto, if it is in writing, or a written summary thereof, if it is not in writing.
ARTICLE VIII
ACQUIROR CONSENT

10.2. Binding Effect and Assignment.

Upon the execution and delivery of an Adoption Agreement by a New Party reasonably acceptable to Acquiror, such New Party shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if such New Party’s signature appeared on the signature pages hereto.

10.4. Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto acknowledge that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements set forth herein.

Any party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties notice in the manner herein set forth.
10.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Texas.
10.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits attached hereto contains the entire understanding of the parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations and understandings between the parties, whether written or oral, with respect to such subject matter.

10.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
10.10. Remedies Cumulative. Unless otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
10.11. Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement, the exhibits hereto and any other agreements to be entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and therefore waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
