WHEREAS, to support and facilitate the Company entering into the Merger Agreement related to the Transaction identified on Exhibit A hereto (the “Subject Offer”), constituting a Recommended Third Party Offer (as defined below), each Stockholder has agreed to take the actions and refrain from other actions each as described in this Agreement.

Section 1.01 Restriction on Transfer. During the Term (as defined below), except for any action required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement, each Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, create a Lien, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option, Constructive Sale (as defined below) or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the offer, sale, transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance, assignment, hypothecation or other disposition of, any or all of the Owned Shares held beneficially or of record by such Stockholder, or grant any proxy, power of attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any of its Owned Shares that would be inconsistent with such Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement (any such action, a “Transfer”); or (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or other agreement, arrangement or understanding that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of voting rights or ownership of the Owned Shares, or (iii) commit or agree to take or publicly announce an intention to commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions. Any purported Transfer not permitted under this Section 1.01 shall be null and void.

Each Stockholder agrees that, in the event (i) of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of the Common Stock affecting the Owned Shares held beneficially or of record by such Stockholder, or (ii) that after the date of this Agreement such Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires or obtains beneficial or record ownership of or an interest in any Common Stock (any such shares referred to in the foregoing clauses “(i)” or “(ii),” collectively, “New Shares”), that such Stockholder shall deliver promptly (but no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following such acquisition) to the Company written notice of its purchase, acquisition or ownership of New Shares which notice shall state the number of New Shares so purchased, acquired or owned. Each Stockholder agrees that any New Shares purchased, acquired or owned during the Term by such Stockholder shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute Owned Shares of such Stockholder to the same extent as if those New Shares were owned by such Stockholder on the date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II.

Agreement to Tender

Section 2.01 Obligation to Tender. Each Stockholder shall duly tender, or cause to be tendered, in the Subject Offer, all of the Owned Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Subject Offer. Promptly, but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the commencement of the Subject Offer, each Stockholder shall (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the depositary designated in the Subject Offer (the “Depositary”) (A) a letter of transmittal with respect to such Owned Shares complying with the terms of the Subject Offer, (B) a certificate or certificates representing such Owned Shares or an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Depositary may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of any Owned Shares and (C) all other documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Subject Offer, and/or (ii) instruct its Broker to tender such Owned Shares on a timely basis and in accordance herewith pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Subject Offer. Each Stockholder agrees that once its Owned Shares are so tendered, such Stockholder will not withdraw, nor permit the withdrawal of, any tender of such Owned Shares, unless and until (i) the Subject Offer shall have been terminated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, or (ii) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 4.01. In the event that the Merger Agreement entered into in connection with the Subject Offer is terminated in accordance with its terms and another Third Party Agreement is entered into with respect to another Recommended Third Party Offer during the Term, the provisions of this Section 2.01 shall apply to such other Recommended Third Party Offer in the same fashion as they apply to the Subject Offer, unless the Company (acting through the Committee, if applicable) shall have advised the Stockholders in writing that this Section 2.01 shall not apply to such other Recommended Third Party Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, Stockholders are not required to tender into any Recommended Third Party Offer which does not have an offer price of at least $6.15 in cash for each Owned Share, subject to equitable adjustment as a result of any stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution, in each case after the date hereof and prior to consummation of the Subject Offer or, if applicable, any other relevant Recommended Third Party Offer to which the Owned Shares are otherwise required to be tendered pursuant hereto.

Section 2.02 Obligation to Enter Into Other Tender Support Agreements. In the event that the Merger Agreement entered into in connection with the Subject Offer is terminated in accordance with its terms, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and during the Term, each Stockholder agrees that if the Company (acting through the Committee, if applicable) advises such Stockholder that it has received an Offer which it determines is a Recommended Third Party Offer and requests that each Stockholder, in lieu of such Stockholder’s obligations to the Company under Section 2.01, enter into a tender support agreement in customary form with the Third Party under such Recommended Third Party Offer pursuant to which each Stockholder will agree with the applicable Third Party that it irrevocably tender (subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 below) into such Recommended Third Party Offer, all of the Owned Shares held beneficially or of record by such Stockholder in accordance with the terms of the Recommended Third Party Offer, then each Stockholder shall enter into such support agreement as promptly as practicable and in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day following such notice and request.

Section 2.03 Termination of Third Party Agreement or Change in Company Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01, Section 2.02 or any other provision of this Agreement, no Stockholder shall be required to (and any other tender support agreement shall not require such Stockholder to) Transfer any Owned Shares held beneficially or of record by such Stockholder pursuant to a Recommended Third Party Offer (including the Subject Offer) if the Merger Agreement (in the case of the Subject Offer) or the related Third Party Agreement for such other Recommended Third Party Offer, as the case may be, has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

2

Section 2.04 Voting, Written Consents. Nothing herein shall restrict the right, if any, of each Stockholder to vote the Owned Shares held beneficially or of record by it in favor or against any matter submitted by the Board for a vote by the Company’s stockholders.

Section 2.05 Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights and Actions. Each Stockholder hereby (i) waives and agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the merger contemplated by a Recommended Third Party Offer (including the Subject Offer) that Stockholder may have and (ii) agrees not to commence or join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against the Company, any Third Party or any of their respective officers, directors, general partners, managers, affiliates or successors (x) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (y) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person with respect to any Recommended Third Party Offer, including in connection with the negotiation and entry into the Merger Agreement or any other applicable Third Party Agreement.

ARTICLE III.

No Stockholder is a party to any swap, hedge or other agreement, arrangement or understanding that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or voting rights of ownership of the Owned Shares.

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance of the terms of this Agreement by such Stockholder will not, (i) require such Stockholder to obtain the authorization, consent or approval of, or make any filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority (other than any required filing under the U.S. federal securities laws) that has not already been obtained or made, (ii) require the authorization, consent or approval of, or make any filing with or notification to, any other Person that has not already been obtained or made, (iii) violate any agreement, arrangement or understanding to which such Stockholder is a party, including any voting agreement, stockholders agreement, irrevocable proxy or voting trust, (iv) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority that is applicable to such Stockholder or any of such Stockholder’s properties or assets, in each case, except for any violation, default or conflict which would not adversely effect in any material respect the ability of such Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Owned Shares held beneficially or of record by such Stockholder are not, with respect to the voting or Transfer of such Owned Shares, subject to any other agreement, arrangement or understanding including any voting agreement, stockholders agreement, irrevocable proxy or voting trust.

Such liquidated damages shall be payable regardless of whether (a) the Subject Offer is ultimately consummated, (b) another Recommended Third Party Offer occurs or (c) the Company enters into Third Party Agreement in connection with any another Recommended Third Party Offer.

The parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
