Change in accordance with Section 5.4(d) of the Merger Agreement, the number of Shareholder’s
Covered Shares (which are entitled to so vote or consent) that are subject to this Section 2.1
shall be reduced (on a pro rata basis with each other shareholder of the Company who executed a
similar voting agreement in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement and the Split-Off Agreements (the “Other Voting Agreements”)) to the
extent necessary in order that the aggregate number of Covered Shares subject to this Section 2.1

waived in a manner that is materially adverse, when considered in the aggregate together with other
waivers or amendments, to the shareholders of the Company.

consents or proxies with respect to) the Covered Shares with respect to any matter not covered by
this Section 2.1 in any manner the Shareholder deems appropriate, provided that such vote (or

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Law of its jurisdiction of organization.
It has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its
obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
execution and delivery by the Shareholder of this Agreement, the performance by it of its
obligations hereunder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
have been duly and validly authorized by the Shareholder and no other actions or proceedings on the
part of the Shareholder or any shareholder or equity holder thereof or any other Person are
necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of this Agreement, the performance by it of
its obligations hereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this

of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act and the “blue sky” laws of the
various states of the United States and (ii) any lien granted in connection with a general pledge
of Covered Shares to the Shareholder’s prime broker, which does and will not affect the

breach of, any provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other comparable governing

violation or breach of, any Law applicable to the Shareholder or by which any of its assets or
properties is bound, (iii) result in any violation, termination, cancellation or breach of, or
constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, any note, bond,
mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or
obligation to which the Shareholder is a party or by which it or any of its assets or properties is
bound or (iv) result in the creation of any Liens upon any of the assets or properties of the
Shareholder, except for any of the foregoing as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the ability of the Shareholder to perform its
obligations hereunder or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Shareholder does not, and the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations under this
Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not,
require the Shareholder to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of any
Governmental Authority.

additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to effect the

foregoing, the Shareholder hereby authorizes Parent to publish and disclose in the Proxy Statement
and in any other announcement or disclosure required by the SEC the Shareholder’s identity and
ownership of the Covered
Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, that in
advance of any such announcement or disclosure, the Shareholder shall be afforded a reasonable
opportunity to review and approve (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) such announcement or
disclosure. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or listing agreement with a national
securities exchange or a Governmental Authority, Parent will not make any other disclosures
regarding the Shareholder in any press release or otherwise without the prior written consent of
the Shareholder (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
