provided, that Company Stock Options
beneficially owned by such Company Stockholder (“Subject
Options”) and Company Restricted Share

considered “Subject Shares” prior to their exercise or becoming unrestricted, whereupon shares of
Company Common Stock issued upon exercise of Subject Options or Subject Units shall be considered
“Subject Shares”);
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent,
Merger Sub and the Company, are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date

commence a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (such

under this Agreement.

agrees with, and covenants to, Parent and Merger Sub that (i) this Agreement and the obligations

or other intermediaries), engage in any conduct prohibited by Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement.

Section 6.1. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles
of conflicts of law thereof.
(b) Each of the parties hereto (i) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and
complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in
accordance with Section 6.5 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law,
and nothing in this Section 6.1(b) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal
process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (ii) irrevocably and unconditionally
consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any action or proceeding to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any
federal court within the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute or controversy arises out of
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for recognition and enforcement of any
judgment in respect thereof; (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal
jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (iv) agrees that any actions
or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby

only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a
particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware); (v) waives any objection that

8
proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.
(c) EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT

relying on such covenants, obligations and agreements in connection with entering into the Merger
Agreement and the performance of Parent’s obligations under the Merger Agreement, and (c) a
violation of any of the covenants, obligations or agreements of such Company Stockholder contained

available at law. Therefore, each Company Stockholder agrees that Parent shall be entitled to an
injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond)
as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain such Company

cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies Parent may have under applicable Law.

void and of no effect; provided, however, that Parent may, in its sole discretion, assign or
transfer all or any of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any direct or
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent from its
obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the respective heirs,
successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties hereto and their heirs,
successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 6.4. Amendments, Waivers, etc. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof
may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company
Stockholders. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, discharged or terminated other than by

or termination is sought, except that this Agreement may be terminated as set forth in Section 5.1.

partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
Section 6.8. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to
be invalid, illegal, incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, or
unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, in order to
achieve the intent of the parties hereto to the maximum extent possible. In any event, the
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or
the
10
validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including that provision, in any other
jurisdiction. 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 in a mutually
acceptable manner in order that the terms of this Agreement remain as originally contemplated to
the fullest extent possible.

among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all other
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the

release or make any other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent, except as such

applicable Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or
regulatory or Governmental Entity to which the relevant Company Stockholder is subject or submits.
Section 6.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually
