ARTICLE I

Interpretation

SECTION 1.01. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, recital, preamble or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, recital, preamble or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless the express context otherwise requires: (i) whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (ii) the words “hereto,” “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iii) the terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural and vice versa; (iv) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neutral forms; (v) the term “or” is not exclusive and has the meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”; (vi) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if” and (vii) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement to any statute include the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as amended, re-enacted, consolidated or replaced from time to time and in the case of any such amendment, re-enactment, consolidation or replacement, reference herein to a particular provision shall be read as referring to such amended, re-enacted, consolidated or replaced provision and also include, unless the context otherwise requires, all applicable guidelines, bulletins or policies made in connection therewith. The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, a Stockholder’s undertaking to use “reasonable best efforts” to cause any trust to take any action or to refrain from taking any action shall specifically mean recommending such course of action to the trustee(s) of such trust as being in the best interest of the trust and its beneficiaries, recognizing that whether or not a trustee determines to adopt such course of action remains a decision to be made by such trustee in the exercise of its fiduciary duties to the applicable trust.

ARTICLE II

Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder

The Stockholder represents and warrants to Xxxxxx that:

SECTION 2.01. Organization. In the event that the Stockholder is an entity, the Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of its organization (in the case of good standing, to the extent such jurisdiction recognizes such concept).

The execution and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement and the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and no other proceedings on the part of the Stockholder (or the Stockholder’s governing body, members, stockholders, partners, trustees or similar Persons, as applicable) are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Xxxxxx, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 2.04. No Conflicts; Governmental Approvals.

(a) The execution, and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement do not, and the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations hereunder will not, constitute or result in (i) in the event that the Stockholder is an entity, a conflict with, a breach or violation of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, the limited liability company agreement, the partnership or trust agreement or comparable organizational documents of the Stockholder, (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation, modification or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of any Lien on any of the properties, rights or assets of the Stockholder pursuant to any Contract binding upon the Stockholder or under any applicable Law to which the Stockholder is subject or (iii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any Contract legally binding upon the Stockholder, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) directly above, for any such conflict, breach, violation, termination, default, loss, creation, modification, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder.

(b) No approval by any Governmental Body is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to the Stockholder in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, other than compliance by the Stockholder with and filings under Sections 13(d) and 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SECTION 2.05. Litigation.

ARTICLE III

Covenants of the Stockholders

SECTION 3.01. Agreement to Vote.

(a) From the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11, the Stockholder agrees that:

(i) at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company called to seek the Required Company Stockholder Vote or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval of the Stockholder with respect to the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is sought, the Stockholder shall cause its Subject Shares to be present in person or by proxy for purposes of constituting a quorum and vote, or cause to be voted, including by executing a written consent if requested by the Company, its Subject Shares in favor of granting the Company Stockholder Approval, and any other actions presented to the stockholders of Company as necessary or desirable in connection with the Company Stockholder Approval and the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

(ii) at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval of the Stockholder is sought, the Stockholder shall cause its Subject Shares to be present in person or by proxy for purposes of constituting a quorum and vote, or cause to be voted, including by executing a written consent if requested by the Company, its Subject Shares against (A) any action, agreement or proposal made in opposition to or in competition with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (B) any action, agreement or proposal involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty of the Company under the Merger Agreement and (C) any amendment of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any other action, agreement or proposal involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of the capital stock of the Company.

(b) The Stockholder shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with any provision of Section 3.01(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Stockholder to vote in any manner with respect to any amendment to the Merger Agreement or the taking of any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the amendment, modification or waiver of a provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that (1) decreases the Exchange Ratio or changes the form of the consideration payable to stockholders of the Company in the Merger; or (2) imposes any restrictions or additional conditions on the consummation of the Merger or the payment of the Merger Consideration to shareholders of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to the matters described in Section 3.01(a), the Stockholder does not have any obligation to vote the Subject Shares in any particular manner and, with respect to such other matters, the Stockholder shall be entitled to vote the Subject Shares in its sole discretion.

SECTION 3.02. Irrevocable Proxy. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, each officer of Xxxxxx, and any other individual designated in writing by Xxxxxx, and each of them individually, as the Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Stockholder, to vote its Subject Shares, or grant a consent or approval in respect of its Subject Shares, in a manner consistent with Section 3.01, and subject to the limitations described in Section 3.01(b), if and only if the Stockholder has not voted or caused to be voted such Subject Shares in a manner consistent with Section 3.01 at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable voting deadline. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Xxxxxx is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 3.02 is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of the Stockholder under this Agreement. The Stockholder hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 3.02 is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked. The Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that such irrevocable proxy may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 78.355 of Nevada Corporate Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proxy and appointment granted hereby shall be automatically revoked, without any action by the Stockholder, upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11.

SECTION 3.03. Transfer and Other Restrictions. Except pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift, merger or otherwise by operation of law) (collectively, “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, agreement, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the Transfer of, any of its Subject Shares to any person, (ii) enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, with respect to any of its Subject Shares, (iii) take any other action that would make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or (iv) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Stockholder from selling or disposing of Subject Shares to any Permitted Transferee (as defined below) so long as such Permitted Transferee executes a signature page to this Agreement and delivers the same to Xxxxxx, pursuant to which such Permitted Transferee agrees to be the “Stockholder” pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Subject Shares that are the subject of such Transfer. “Permitted Transferee” means (i) a spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, brother or sister, adopted child or grandchild or the spouse of any child, adopted child, grandchild or adopted grandchild of the Stockholder, (ii) any trust, the trustees of which include only the persons named in clause (i) and the beneficiaries of which include only the persons named in clause (i), (iii) any corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the stockholders, members or general or limited partners of which include only the persons named in clause (i), or (iv) any person by will, for estate or tax planning purposes, for charitable purposes or as charitable gifts or donations. The Stockholder hereby authorizes and will instruct Xxxxxx or its counsel to notify Xxxxxx’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Subject Shares of the Stockholder (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of such Subject Shares), subject to the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such stop transfer order and notice will immediately be withdrawn and terminated upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11.

SECTION 3.04. Directors and Officers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the Stockholder who is a director and/or officer of the Company from acting in such capacity or fulfilling the obligations of such office (including, for the avoidance of doubt, exercising his or her fiduciary duties), including by voting, in his or her capacity as a director and/or officer of the Company, in the Stockholder’s sole discretion on any matter as a director and/or officer (it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to the Stockholder solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a record and/or beneficial owner of the Subject Shares). In this regard, the Stockholder shall not be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in the Stockholder’s capacity as a director and/or officer of the Company.
