Until such Shares are accepted for purchase in the Offer, this Agreement shall not alter any rights of a Shareholder to vote any of such Shareholder’s Shares in such Shareholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those set forth in this Section 1.2 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s shareholders generally.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS
Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees, severally but not jointly, that until the termination of this Agreement:
4.1 No Transfer; No Inconsistent Arrangements.
(a) From and after the date hereof and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, subject to Section 4.1(b), such Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) create or permit to exist any Lien, other than Permitted Share Liens, on any or all of such Shareholder’s Shares, (ii) transfer, sell, assign, gift, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose (whether by sale, liquidation, dissolution, dividend, distribution or otherwise) of, or enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to (collectively, “Transfer”), any of such Shareholder’s Shares, or any right or interest therein (or consent to any of the foregoing), (iii) enter into any Contract with respect to any Transfer of such Shareholder’s Shares or any interest therein, (iv) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any of such Shareholder’s Shares, (v) deposit or permit the deposit of any of such Shareholder’s Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of such Shareholder’s Shares, or (vi) take or permit any other action that would reasonably be expected to in any way restrict, limit, interfere with or delay the performance of such Shareholder’s obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise make any representation or warranty of such Shareholder herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect. If any involuntary Transfer of any or all of such Shareholder’s Shares shall occur (including, if applicable, a sale by such Shareholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shares, subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement. Such Shareholder agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of its controlled Affiliates not to, and shall not encourage, direct or instruct each of its non-controlled Affiliates to, become a member of a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any Company securities for the purpose of opposing or competing with or taking any actions inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
| 5 |
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 4.1(a), such Shareholder may make Transfers of Shares (x) to any “Permitted Transferee” (as defined below), in which case the Shares shall continue to be bound by this Agreement and provided that any such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to such Shares that are subject to such Transfer prior to the consummation of any such Transfer, or (y) as Parent may otherwise agree in writing in its reasonable discretion. A “Permitted Transferee” means, with respect to any Shareholder, (I) a spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, brother or sister, adopted child or grandchild, or the spouse of any child, adopted child, grandchild, or adopted grandchild of such Shareholder, (II) any charitable organization described in Section 170(c) of the Code, (III) any trust, the beneficiaries of which include only the Persons named in clause (I) or (II) of this definition, (IV) any Affiliate of such Shareholder, including any investment fund affiliated with or managed by such Shareholder or its fund, managed account or other similar vehicle Affiliates (and any investment vehicles wholly owned by such fund) and (if applicable) any direct or indirect general partner, managing member or similar control Person of any such Person or (V) any corporation, limited liability company, or partnership, the shareholders, members, and general or limited partners of which include only the Persons named in clause (I) or (II) of this definition. For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that any Shares are held in a margin account or pledged pursuant to the terms thereof shall not be deemed a breach or violation of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein.
4.2 No Exercise of Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, such Shareholder waives and agrees not to exercise any appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights in respect of such Shareholder’s Shares that may arise with respect to the Merger.
4.3 Documentation and Information.

Such Shareholder acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub may, in Parent’s sole discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or any other Governmental Authority. Such Shareholder agrees to promptly give Parent any information it may reasonably require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and such Shareholder agrees to promptly notify Parent of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by it specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that such Shareholder shall become aware that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.
| 6 |
4.4 No Solicitation. Subject to Section 5.15, each Shareholder shall not, and, if not an individual, shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to, and shall direct its other Representatives not to, and shall not direct, encourage or instruct its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly (a) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal, (b) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions with, or furnish any non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, any Person in connection with a Takeover Proposal (other than to state that such Shareholder is not permitted to have discussions) or (c) execute or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle or Contract with respect to a Takeover Proposal (or resolve to or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, each Shareholder and its Affiliates and Representatives shall not be prohibited from participating in any discussions or negotiations with respect to a possible tender and support, voting or similar agreement in connection with a Takeover Proposal in the event that the Company is permitted to take the actions set forth in Section 5.4(b) or Section 5.4(e) of the Merger Agreement with respect to such Takeover Proposal.
4.5 Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction with respect to the capital stock of the Company that affects the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities as well as such stock dividends and distributions.

The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by PDF shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
5.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
