9.4 Severability. Any term or provision of this Support Agreement 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 parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the
power to limit such 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

such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
9.5 Entire Agreement. This Support Agreement, the Proxy and any other documents delivered by
the parties in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings,
written or oral, between the parties with respect thereto. No addition to or modification of any
provision of this Support Agreement shall be binding upon either party unless made in writing and

parties.
9.6 Assignment; Binding Effect. Except as provided herein, neither this Support Agreement nor
any of the interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Shareholder, and any
attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any of such interests or obligations shall be
void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Support Agreement shall be binding upon Shareholder
and [Shareholder’s heirs, estate, executors and personal representatives and]1
Shareholder’s successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Parent and its successors
and assigns. Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth in Section 2 or elsewhere in this
Support Agreement, this Support Agreement shall be binding upon any Person to whom any Subject
Securities are transferred. Nothing in this Support Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to
confer on any Person (other than Parent and its successors and assigns) any rights or remedies of
any nature.
9.7 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of Shareholder set forth in
this Support Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other agreement or arrangement
between Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other. The existence of any
| 1 | Bracketed language for individuals only. |
-8-
claim or cause of action by Shareholder against the Company or Parent shall not constitute a
defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Shareholder.
9.8 Actions of Representatives. Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that any action
inconsistent with any provision of this Support Agreement that is taken by any Representative,
partner, member or Affiliate of Shareholder, shall be deemed to constitute a breach of such
provision by Shareholder.
9.9 Specific Performance. Shareholder agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event
that any of the provisions of this Support Agreement or the Proxy were not performed in accordance
with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available,
would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, Shareholder agrees that, in the event of
any breach or threatened breach by Shareholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this
Support Agreement or in the Proxy, Parent shall be entitled, without proof of actual damages (in
addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages), to seek and
obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of
such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach.
Shareholder further agrees that neither Parent nor any other Person shall be required to obtain,
furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining
any remedy referred to in this Section 8.10. and Shareholder irrevocably waives any right he or it
may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
9.10 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of Parent under this Support Agreement are not
exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which it may have, whether at law, in
equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of Parent under this Support
Agreement, and the obligations and liabilities of Shareholder under this Support Agreement, are in
addition to their respective rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities under common law
requirements and under all applicable Legal Requirements.
9.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This Support Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Georgia, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under
applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Service of any process, summons, notice or
document to either party’s address and in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 shall be effective
service of process for any such action.
(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT
OR THE PROXY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR TO THE PROXY. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES, AGREES AND CERTIFIES THAT: (i) NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
PREVENT OR DELAY ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH WAIVER; (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE
IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER; (iii) IT
-9-
MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED

IN THIS SECTION 9.11(b)
9.12 Counterparts. This Support Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together
constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Support Agreement (in
counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery shall be sufficient to bind the
parties to the terms of this Support Agreement.
9.13 Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Support
Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Support Agreement is brought against
Shareholder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs
and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).
9.14 Waiver. No failure or the part of Parent to exercise any power, right, privilege or
remedy under this Support Agreement, and no delay on the part of Parent in exercising any power,
right, privilege or remedy under this Support Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power,
right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege
or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right,
privilege or remedy. Parent shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to Parent
arising out of this Support Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of Parent under
this Support Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is
expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Parent; and
any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which
it is given.
9.15 Fiduciary Responsibilities.
Shareholder is signing this Agreement solely in his or its capacity as an owner of shares of
Company Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Support Agreement to the
contrary, nothing contained in this Support Agreement shall limit or otherwise restrict the rights
and obligations of any Shareholder or any Representative of a Shareholder serving on the board of
directors of the Company or any other director or officer in his capacity as a director or officer
of the Company from taking any action, or omitting to take any action in his or her capacity as a
director or officer of the Company, to the extent such action is permitted to be taken or omitted
to be taken by the Company or the Company’s board of directors under the Merger Agreement, and no
such action taken, or omitted to be taken, by such Representative or other director or officer in
such capacity shall be deemed to constitute a breach of any provision of this Support Agreement.

owned of record by the Shareholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the
final page of this proxy, and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company which
the Shareholder may acquire on or after the date hereof. (The shares of the capital stock of the
Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are
collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution hereof, all prior proxies
given by the Shareholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Shareholder
agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
This proxy is irrevocable, shall survive the Shareholder’s liquidation or termination, is
coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting and
Support Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Shareholder (the
“Support Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Scrabble Acquisition, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy
will terminate on the Proxy Expiration Date (as defined in the Support Agreement).
The attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote
the Shares at any time until (and including) the Proxy Expiration Date at any meeting of the
shareholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent
of shareholders of the Company:
(i) in favor of (A) the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the
“Merger”), the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the
adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the terms thereof, (B) each of the other
actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (C) any action in furtherance of any of the
foregoing; and
(ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement; and
(iii) against the following actions (other than the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement): (A) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as
a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company; (B) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of
a material portion of the rights or other assets of the Company or any direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Company; (C) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company; (D) any
change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (E) any amendment to the
Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (F) any material change in the
capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (G) any other action
which is intended, or could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with,
A-1
delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Support Agreement.
The Shareholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and
the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other
matters.
This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives,
successors and assigns of the Shareholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
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 Shareholder agrees that the
court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete
specific words or phrases, or to replace such 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 parties hereto
agree 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 or provision.
