WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved this Agreement and the execution, delivery and performance thereof by the parties hereto;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company are entering into the Merger Agreement, which provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval is a condition precedent to the consummation of the Merger; and

(c) Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, any rights to seek appraisal or rights of dissent in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Merger, including under Section 262 of the DGCL, that such Stockholder may have with respect to the Stockholder Shares.

Section 2 Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby revokes any proxies that such Stockholder has heretofore granted with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Parent as attorney-in-fact and proxy in accordance with the DGCL for and on such Stockholder’s behalf, for and in such Stockholder’s name, place and stead, to: (a) attend any and all meetings of the stockholders of the Company; (b) vote the Shares of such Stockholder in accordance with the provisions of clause (A) of each of Sections 1(a)(ii) and (iii) at any such meeting; and (c) represent and otherwise act for such Stockholder in the same manner and with the same effect as if such Stockholder were personally present at any such meeting; provided, however, that the foregoing proxy shall only be permitted to be exercised by Parent or any designee or representative thereof as to any Stockholder in the event of a failure by such Stockholder to act in accordance with such Stockholder’s obligations as to voting pursuant to Section 1(a) (by submitting a duly completed proxy statement, proxy card or broker voting instruction card, as applicable) no later than the fifth Business Day prior to any meeting of the stockholders of the Company referred to in Section 1(a)(i). The foregoing proxy is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable (and as such shall survive and not be affected by the death, incapacity, mental illness or insanity of the Stockholder) until the end of the Restricted Period and shall not be terminated by operation of Law or upon the occurrence of any other event other than following a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.15. Each Stockholder

-3-

authorizes such attorney-in-fact and proxy to substitute any other Person to act hereunder, to revoke any substitution and to file this proxy and any substitution or revocation with the Secretary of the Company. Each Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 2 is given in connection with the execution by Parent of the Merger Agreement and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the obligations of such Stockholder under Section 1. The irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 2 is executed and intended to be irrevocable.

A “Transfer” shall not include the transfer of Shares by a Stockholder to such Stockholder’s estate, such Stockholder’s immediate family, to a trust for the benefit of such Stockholder’s family, upon the death of such Stockholder or to a controlled Affiliate of such Stockholder or a controlled Affiliate of Third Point LLC (each a “Permitted Transferee”) (each such transfer, a “Permitted Transfer”).

Each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware (and the appellate courts therefrom) in the event any dispute arises out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such courts or to assert that such courts are an inconvenient forum, and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or if, and only if, such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware.

5.5. Amendments and Supplements. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented at any time by additional written agreements signed by Parent, Merger Sub and any one or more Stockholder(s), which written agreement(s) shall be effective against each of the parties that has signed such written agreement(s) (and not as to any party that has not signed such written agreement), as may mutually be determined by such parties to be necessary, desirable or expedient to further the purpose of this Agreement or to clarify the intention of the parties, whether before or after the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of the Company; provided, that the Company’s prior written consent shall be required with respect to any amendment or supplement of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

5.6. Failure or Delay Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except by a written instrument signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be effective; provided, that the Company’s prior written consent shall be required with respect to a waiver of any provision of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party. No failure or delay on the party of any party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

5.7. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any Stockholder without the prior written consent of Parent. Each of Parent and Merger Sub may assign their rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement to any of their respective Affiliates in conjunction with a valid assignment of its rights, interests or obligations under the Merger Agreement but otherwise neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests

-8-

or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by Parent or Merger Sub without the prior written consent of each Stockholder. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

5.8. Headings. The headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

5.9. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. 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 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

5.10. Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall, prior to termination in accordance with Section 5.15, be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto (i) agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of any such relief on the basis that monetary damages provide a sufficient remedy and (ii) hereby irrevocably waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such relief (it is understood that clause (i) of this sentence is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any party hereto from litigating on the merits the substantive claim to which such remedy relates).

(b) The parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 5.10, Parent and Merger Sub shall not in any respect waive their rights to seek any other form of relief that may be available to them under this Agreement (including damages) in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 5.10 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require Parent or Merger Sub to institute any Action for (or limit Parent’s or Merger Sub’s right to institute any Action for) specific performance under this Section 5.10 prior to pursuing any other form of relief referred to in the preceding clause (i).

5.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF EACH STOCKHOLDER, PARENT AND MERGER SUB HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE STOCKHOLDERS, PARENT OR MERGER SUB IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

5.12. Costs and Expenses. Each party to this Agreement will pay his, her or its own costs and expenses (including legal, accounting and other fees) relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

5.13. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between any of the parties hereto.

Without in any way limiting the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, (i) no party shall have the power by virtue of this Agreement to control the activities and operations of any other and (ii) no party shall have any power or authority by virtue of this Agreement to bind or commit any other party. No party shall hold itself out as having any authority or relationship in contravention of this Section 5.13.

5.15. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time; (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; (c) the conclusion of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and any other meeting (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) of the stockholders of the Company, however called, at which the vote in respect of the matters contemplated by this Agreement is taken; and (d) as to any particular Stockholder, the date of any amendment, waiver or modification of the Merger Agreement without such Stockholder’s prior written consent that has the effect of (i) decreasing the Merger Consideration, (ii) changing the form of Merger Consideration (in the case of each of subclauses (i) and (ii), payable to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement), (iii) to extend the Outside Date, or (iv) to impose any material restrictions or additional material conditions on the consummation of the Merger or the payment of the Merger Consideration or otherwise in a manner material and adverse to such Stockholder; provided, however, that in no event shall any Stockholder have any liability for any damages resulting from a breach of this Agreement other than in connection with a willful breach of this Agreement by such Stockholder. This Section 5.15 and the other provisions of this Section 5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

-10-

5.16. Rules of Construction. The provisions of Section 1.2 of the Merger Agreement shall mutatis mutandis apply to this Agreement. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, no “portfolio company” of any Stockholder shall be deemed an Affiliate thereof.

Each Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director (including “director by deputization”), officer or employee of the Company, if applicable. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect any actions or inactions by such Stockholder or any representative of Stockholder, as applicable, serving as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, acting in such person’s capacity as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (it being understood and agreed that the Merger Agreement contains provisions that govern the actions or inactions by the directors of the Company with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby).

5.18. Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the obligations and liabilities of each Stockholder hereunder are several and not joint, and (b) no Stockholder shall have any obligation or liability in respect of any actions taken or not taken or any claims made against any other Stockholder.

5.19. Absence of Presumption. With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement and any and all agreements and instruments subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto understand and agree that the same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and if at any time the parties hereto desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject hereto, no consideration will be given to the issue of which party hereto actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument subject hereto.
