The consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) violate any provision of any judgment, order, decree applicable to Stockholder or (ii) require any consent, approval, or notice under any statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to Stockholder other than (x) as required under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (y) where the failure to obtain such consents or approvals or to make such notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the performance by Stockholder of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) The Shares and the certificates, if any, representing the Shares owned by Stockholder are now, and at all times during the term hereof will be, held by Stockholder, by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of Stockholder or by the depository under the Offers, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, options, rights, understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances or restrictions whatsoever on title, transfer, or exercise of any rights of a shareholder in respect of such Shares (collectively, "Encumbrances"), except for (i) any such Encumbrances arising hereunder (in connection therewith any restrictions on transfer or any other Encumbrances have been waived by appropriate consent), (ii) any rights, agreements, understandings or arrangements which represent a financial interest in cash received upon sale of the Shares and (iii) Encumbrances imposed by federal or state securities laws (collectively, "Permitted Encumbrances").

The consummation by Parent and Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and any Other Stockholder Agreement will not (i) violate any provision of any judgment, order or decree applicable to Parent or Purchaser or (ii) require any consent, approval or notice under any statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to either Parent or Purchaser, other than (x) filings under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (y) where the failure to obtain such consents or approvals or to make such notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the performance by either Parent or Purchaser of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Other Stockholder Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 3. Tender of the Shares.

(a) Stockholder hereby agrees that it shall irrevocably tender (and deliver any certificates evidencing) its Shares, or cause its Shares to be irrevocably tendered, into the Class A Offer promptly following, and in any event no later than the first business day following, the commencement of the Class A Offer pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement (the "Offer Documents") in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Offer Documents, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances); provided that Parent and Purchaser agree that Stockholder may withdraw its Shares from the Class A Offer at any time following the termination of this Agreement or as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

(b) Upon receipt of payment in full for all of its Shares, Stockholder agrees that any and all rights incident to its ownership of Shares (including any rights to recover amounts, if any, that may be determined to be due to any stockholder or former stockholders of Company), including but not limited to rights arising out of a such Stockholder's ownership of Shares prior to the transfer

of such Shares to Purchaser or Parent pursuant to the Class A Offer or pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shall be transferred to Purchaser and Parent upon the transfer to Purchaser or Parent of such Stockholder's Shares.

SECTION 6. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of Proxy.

(a) Without in any way limiting Stockholder's right to vote the Shares in its sole discretion on any other matters that may be submitted to a stockholder vote, consent or other approval, Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Parent and any designee thereof, Stockholder's proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Stockholder, to attend any meeting of the stockholders of the Company on behalf of such Stockholder, to include such Shares in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any meeting of stockholders of the Company, and to vote all Shares beneficially owned or controlled by such Stockholder (the "Vote Shares"), or to grant a consent or approval in respect of the Vote Shares, in connection with any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders of the Company (i) in favor of the Merger or any other transaction pursuant to which Parent proposes to acquire the Company, whether by tender offer or merger, in which stockholders of the Company would receive cash consideration per share of Common Stock equal to or greater than the consideration to be received by such stockholders in the Offer and the Merger and otherwise on the same terms as the Offers and the Merger and/or (ii) against any action or agreement which would in any material respect impede, interfere with or prevent the Merger, including, but not limited to, any other extraordinary corporate transaction, including, a merger, acquisition, sale, consolidation, reorganization or liquidation involving the Company and a third party, or any other proposal of a third party to acquire the Company or all or substantially all of the assets thereof.

(b) Stockholder hereby represents that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Shares, if any, are revocable, and hereby revokes such proxies.

(c) Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 6 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 Stockholder under this Agreement. Stockholder hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and, except as set forth in this Section or in Section 9, is intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. If during the term of this Agreement for any reason the proxy granted herein is not irrevocable, then such Stockholder agrees that it shall vote its Shares in accordance with Section 6(a) above as instructed by Parent in writing. The parties agree that the foregoing shall be a voting agreement created under Section 218 of the DGCL.

SECTION 7. Acquisition Proposals; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Acquisition Proposals

(i) Stockholder will notify Parent and the Purchaser immediately if any Acquisition Proposals are received by, or, in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, any information is requested from or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, Stockholder or Stockholder's officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other agents, if any, which notice shall include the identity of the Person making such information request or Acquisition Proposal and the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal or information request. Stockholder agrees that it will immediately cease and terminate any of its existing activities, discussions, negotiations or communications with any parties with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Non-Solicitation.

It is understood that this Section 8 limits the rights of Stockholder only to the extent that Stockholder is acting in Stockholder's capacity as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing Stockholder, as an officer or director of the Company, from fulfilling the obligations of such office (including, subject to the limitations contained in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the Merger Agreement, the performance of obligations required by the fiduciary obligations of Stockholder acting solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director).

Each party shall execute and deliver any additional documents and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out all of the provisions hereof, including all of the parties' obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation to vest in Parent the power to vote the Shares to the extent contemplated by Section 6.

(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Merger Agreement and any other documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or entered into by the parties in connection with the Merger or this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all other prior agreements

and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

(e) Governing Law, Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and any appellate court thereof, for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, to the extent the Court of Chancery has jurisdiction over the claims alleged in such litigation, or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction over the claims alleged in such litigation, the courts of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such litigation except in such courts, (ii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in such Delaware courts and (iii) agrees not to plead or claim in any Delaware court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12(a). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(f) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12(f).

(g) Assignment. Prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement or (ii) the consummation of the Merger, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (other than in the case of a merger or consolidation where the successor assumes the obligations hereunder) without the prior written consent of the other parties except that Parent and the Purchaser may assign, in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of their rights, interests and obligations hereunder to each other or to one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent (each, an "Assignee"); provided that no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Purchaser of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement. Any such Assignee may thereafter assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more additional Assignees. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the provisions of this Agreement are not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

(h) Severability of Provisions. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal

substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

(i) Specific Performance. It is recognized and expressly agreed by the parties hereto that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate for breach of this Agreement and that rights which are subject to this Agreement are unique and are of such a nature as to be inherently difficult or impossible to value monetarily. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Other Stockholder Agreements, the parties agree that any violation or alleged violation of this Agreement shall cause irreparable injury, and that, in addition to any other remedy available under this Agreement, the parties hereto shall be entitled immediately to obtain injunctive relief, preliminary or otherwise, to enjoin such breach or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages, and the terms of this Agreement shall be enforceable in court by a decree of specific performance. Such remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedies that the parties hereto may have hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party waives any objection to the imposition of such decree of specific performance or any requirement for a posting of a bond.

(j) Amendment. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto, and no waiver or consent hereunder shall be effective against any party unless it shall be in writing and signed by such party.

(k) Binding Nature. This Agreement is binding upon and is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives and assigns.

(l) FIRPTA Certificates. Prior to the purchase of Shares pursuant to Section 3 hereof, Stockholder shall provide to Parent, Purchaser or the Paying Agent (as defined in the Merger Agreement), as the case may be, a certificate of non-foreign status as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b) (the "FIRPTA Certificate"). If a Stockholder fails to deliver the FIRPTA Certificate, Parent, Purchaser or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to withhold the amount required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code from amounts otherwise payable to Stockholder pursuant to the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

(m) No Recourse. Purchaser and Parent agree that Stockholder (in his capacity as a stockholder of the Company) will not be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations resulting from the Company's breach of the Merger Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent, the Purchaser and the Stockholders have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first written above.
