(b)Each Stockholder represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that it is not and, prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement, will not become, party to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding (whether written or oral) with the Independent Director with respect to the Independent Director’s service as a director on the Board, including any such agreements, arrangements or understandings (i) with respect to how the Independent Director would vote or act on any issue or question as a director and (ii) providing compensation, directly or indirectly, to the Independent Director for service as a director.
7

10.Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Stockholders for their reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal expenses) incurred in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement.
(a)This Agreement shall terminate (w) at the end of the Standstill Period, (x) if a Replacement Director is not approved as provided in Section 2(f), effective as provided in Section 2(f), (y) effective immediately, if the Board at any time determines in good faith, after consulting outside counsel, that the Independent Director’s continued service as a member of the Board, as applicable, would violate the Board’s fiduciary duties and (z) effective immediately, if the Independent Director is not recommended or the Board does not solicit proxies against a proposal as provided in Section 2(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
(i)the obligations of the Stockholder pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall terminate in the event that the Company materially breaches its obligations pursuant to Section 2, 5, or 6, or the representations and warranties in Section 9, and such breach (if capable of being cured) has not been cured within 10 days following written notice of such breach from the Stockholder, or, if impossible to cure within 10 days, the Company has not taken substantive action to correct within 10 days following written notice of such breach from the Stockholder; provided, however, that the obligations of the Stockholder pursuant to Section 6 shall terminate immediately in the event that the Company materially breaches its obligations under Section 6; and
(ii)the obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections 2, 5 and 6 shall terminate in the event that the Stockholder materially breaches her obligations pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6, or the representations and warranties in Section 9, and such breach (if capable of being cured) has not been cured within 10 days following written notice of such breach, or, if impossible to cure within 10 days, the Stockholder has not taken substantive action to correct within 10 days following written notice of such breach from the Company; provided, however, that the obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 6 shall terminate immediately in the event that the Stockholder materially breaches her obligations under Section 6.
(b)If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Section 11, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void as between the terminating Party and the other Party, but no termination shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
12.Mandatory Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall cause the other Party irreparable harm which would not be adequately compensable by money damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a Party of any provision of this Agreement, the other Party shall be
8
entitled to the remedies of injunction or other preliminary or equitable relief, without having to prove irreparable harm or actual damages or post a bond or other security. The foregoing right shall be in addition to such other rights or remedies that may be available to the non-breaching Party for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of money damages.
13.Amendment and Waiver. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by the Company and the Stockholder. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by the Party making such waiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
14.Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referenced herein set forth the entire understanding between the Parties hereto and supersede and merge all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the Company and the Stockholder.

This Agreement may not be transferred or assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment without such consent is null and void. Subject to the foregoing sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by and against the permitted successors and assigns of each Party.
16.Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it will be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
