Each Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote his, her or its Shares in his, her or its sole discretion and without any other limitation on those matters other than those set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders.

(b) In furtherance of the agreements herein and concurrently with the execution of the Original Support Agreement, each Stockholder has delivered (or, in the case of Significant Stockholder, within five Business Days after the receipt of the Requisite Significant Stockholder Stockholder Approval, shall deliver) to Parent a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each such proxy, a “Proxy”), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law, with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Shares.

Such Proxy was executed by each Stockholder on the date of the Original Support Agreement (or, in the case of Significant Stockholder, shall be executed within five Business Days of receipt of the Requisite Significant Stockholder Stockholder Approval) and is intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL until the
