1.1 Organization; Good Standing. If such Stockholder is an entity, such Stockholder is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.
1.2 Authority; Noncontravention. If such Stockholder is an entity, such Stockholder has the requisite power (corporate or other) and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If such Stockholder is an individual, such Stockholder has the requisite capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If such Stockholder is an entity, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder and the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action (corporate or other) on the part of such Stockholder and no other proceedings (corporate or other) on the part of such Stockholder are necessary to approve this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, Parent and Sub, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to: (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and conveyance, moratorium, reorganization, receivership and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of the rights and remedies of creditors generally; (b) principles of equity
which may limit the availability of remedies (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (c) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance by such Stockholder with the provisions hereof do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation under, or result in the creation of any Lien in or upon any of the properties or assets of such Stockholder under, any provision of: (a) if such Stockholder is an entity, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of such Stockholder; (b) any Contract to which such Stockholder is a party or any of their respective properties or assets is subject; or (c) any (i) statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or (ii) judgment, order or decree, in each case, applicable to such Stockholder or any of such Stockholder's properties or assets. Except for the filing of a Schedule 13D (or amendment thereto) or a Form 4 or 5 by such Stockholder, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity or other individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust, unincorporated organization, other entity or group (each a "person") is required by or with respect to such Stockholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder or the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance with the provisions hereof.
1.3 Ownership. Column (a) on Schedule I sets forth, opposite such Stockholder's name, the number of shares over which such Stockholder has sole record and beneficial ownership as of the date hereof. Without duplication of the shares of Common Stock described in column (a) on Schedule I, column (b) on Schedule I sets forth, opposite such Stockholder's name, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of securities that are exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, Common Stock, over which such Stockholder has sole record and beneficial ownership as of the date hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule I, as of the date hereof, such Stockholder has the sole power to vote (or cause to be voted) and the sole power to dispose of (or to direct the disposition of) the shares of Common Stock referred to in the prior two sentences (as to the shares set forth in column (b), upon exercise, exchange or conversion thereof). Except as set forth on such Schedule I, neither such Stockholder nor any affiliate (as hereafter defined) of such Stockholder owns or holds any right to acquire or dispose of any additional shares of any class of capital stock of the Company or other securities of the Company or any interest therein or any voting rights with respect to any securities of the Company. "affiliate" means, with respect to any specified person, any person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified.

2.4 Investment Intent. Sub acknowledges that the Schedule I Shares it will receive hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Sub is acquiring such stock for his own account and not with a view to their distribution within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.

8.5 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and (b) are not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto (and their respective successors and assigns) any rights or remedies.
8.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
8.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part (except by operation of law), by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent or to any direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Sub of any of its obligations hereunder.

8.8 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery or any federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware or in the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts; (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court; (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery or any such federal court; and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery or any such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.2.

8.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 8.9.
8.10 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

8.11 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 so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially 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 transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
8.12 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived, but only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective.
8.13 Further Assurances. Promptly upon request by Parent or Sub, each Stockholder shall execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, re-file, register and re-register, any and all such further acts,
8
certificates, assurances and other instruments as Parent or Sub may require from time to time in order to: (a) carry out more effectively the purposes and intent of this Agreement; (b) enable Parent and Sub to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder; and (c) to better transfer, preserve, protect and confirm to Parent and Sub the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to them hereunder or under each other instrument executed in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement.
