Shares in its sole discretion on any matters other than the Section 2.1 Matters that may be
submitted to a stockholder vote, consent or other approval, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably
appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, pursuant to a

Agreement in accordance with its terms, in which event this proxy shall automatically be revoked
without any further action by any party. The Stockholder will take such further action or execute
such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby
revokes any proxy previously granted by it with respect to the Covered Shares with respect to any
of the Section 2.1 Matters. So long as the proxy granted under this Section 2.3 is a valid
uncontested proxy that is effective to deliver the votes of the Covered Shares, the Stockholder
shall be deemed to be fulfilling its obligations under Section 2.1(b). If Parent believes that
such proxy is not a valid proxy or if Parent otherwise does not wish to utilize the proxy, Parent
will immediately so notify the Stockholder in writing so that the Stockholder will be able to
perform its obligations under Section 2.1(b).

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and

parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in any other place of competent jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5.3. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect
the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
(c) Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Action arising out of or relating to this

party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any
action, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties
hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, by, among other things, the mutual waiver

writing signed by each of the parties hereto. Each party may waive any right of such party
hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party and delivered to Parent and the
Stockholder.
5.9. Remedies; Specific Performance. All rights, powers and remedies provided under
this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and
not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party shall
not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such
party. The parties hereto agree that each of Parent and Merger Sub would be irreparably damaged if
for any reason the Stockholder fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and
that each of Parent and Merger Sub would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in
such event. Accordingly, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled, as their sole remedy
under this Agreement for breaches by the Stockholder, to specific performance and injunctive and
other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the
performance of the terms and provisions hereof.
5.10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or
affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any
other jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all
cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby
is affected in any manner adverse to any party or its stockholders or partners, as applicable.
Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a
suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties as closely
as possible and to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby shall be fulfilled to the
maximum extent possible.
5.11. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor
any of the rights or obligations of any party under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or
in part (by operation of law or otherwise), by any party without the prior written consent of the
other parties hereto. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the
parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
5.12. Stockholder Capacity. The restrictions and covenants of the Stockholder
hereunder shall not be binding, and shall have no effect, in any way with respect to any director
or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such Person’s capacity as such a director
or officer, nor shall any action taken by any such director or officer in his or her capacity as
such be deemed a breach by the Stockholder of this Agreement.

that Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and the Stockholder
will be entitled to receive the merger consideration specified therein. The term “Expiration
Time”, as used in this Proxy, shall mean the earliest to occur of the events specified in
Section 5.1 of the Voting Agreement.
The attorneys and proxies named above, and each of them, are hereby authorized and empowered
by the Stockholder, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, to act as the Stockholder’s attorney
and proxy to vote all of the Covered Shares, and to exercise all voting, consent and similar rights
of the undersigned with respect to all of the Covered Shares (including, without limitation, the
power to execute and deliver written consents) at every annual or special meeting of stockholders
of the Company (and at every adjournment or postponement thereof), and in every written consent in
lieu of such meeting:
(a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and any related proposal in furtherance
thereof, as reasonably requested by Parent, submitted for the vote, written consent or approval of
the Company’s stockholders;
(b) against any action, proposal or agreement submitted for the vote, written consent or
approval of the Company’s stockholders that is in opposition to, or would reasonably be expected to
be competitive or materially inconsistent with, the Merger or would result in a breach of any
covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained
in the Merger Agreement, or of the Stockholder contained in the Voting Agreement; and
(c) against any Takeover Proposal and against any other action, agreement or transaction
submitted for the vote, written consent or approval of stockholders that would reasonably be
expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage, frustrate the purposes of or
adversely affect the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the
Voting Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Merger Agreement or
by the Stockholder of its obligations under the Voting Agreement.
Any term or provision of this Proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any
jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation
or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares
that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the
court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete
specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term
or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of
the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Proxy shall be enforceable as so modified.
In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the
Stockholder agrees to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and
enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and
other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
The restrictions and covenants of the Stockholder hereunder shall not be binding, and shall
have no effect, in any way with respect to any director or officer of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries in such Person’s capacity as such a director or officer, nor shall any action taken by
any such director or officer in his or her capacity as such be deemed a breach by the Stockholder
of this Proxy.
Any obligation of the Stockholder hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns
of the Stockholder.
This Proxy shall terminate, and be of no further force and effect, automatically upon the
Expiration Time.
