(ii) grant any proxy, power of attorney, deposit any Subject Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Subject Securities except with the Parent; or

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDER
(a) Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of, or Shareholder exercises voting power over, the shares of Company Common Stock indicated on the final page of this Agreement, which, on and as of the date hereof, are free and clear of any Encumbrances that would adversely affect the ability of Shareholder to carry out the terms of this Agreement. The number of Shares set forth on the signature pages hereto are the only Shares beneficially owned by such Shareholder and, except as set forth on such signature pages, the Shareholder holds no options to purchase or rights to subscribe for or otherwise acquire any securities of the Company and has no other interest in or voting rights with respect to any securities of the Company.
(b) Shareholder has the requisite capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Shareholder and the consummation by such Shareholder
3
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Shareholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Shareholder, enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except (i) as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and (ii) for the limitations imposed by general principles of equity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation which would result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of the Shares owned by such Shareholder under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree, or other instrument binding on such Shareholder or any Shares owned by such Shareholder. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with or exemption by any Governmental Entity is required by or with respect to such Shareholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Shareholder or the consummation by such Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for applicable requirements, if any, of Sections 13 and 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. If this Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the person signing this Agreement has full power and authority to enter into and perform such Agreement. Prior to the approval of Company’s Board of Directors of this Agreement, Shareholder and Parent had no agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the voting of any of Shareholder’s securities of the Company.
3. TERMINATION
This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect as of the first to occur of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been validly terminated pursuant to Article VII thereof.
4. MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
4.2 Binding Effect and Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be
4
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void.
4.3 Amendments and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, supplemented, canceled or discharged, except by written instrument executed by the Parent and Shareholder. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of any breach of any provision shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision, nor shall any waiver be implied from any course of dealing between the parties. No extension of time for performance of any obligations or other acts hereunder or under any other agreement shall be deemed to be an extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or any other acts. The rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are in addition to all other rights and remedies, at law or equity, that they may have against each other.
4.4 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief; Attorneys Fees. The parties hereto acknowledge that Parent will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements of Shareholder set forth herein. Therefore, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Parent upon any such violation, Parent shall have the right to enforce such covenants and agreements by specific performance, injunctive relief or by any other means available to Parent at law or in equity. If any action, suit or other proceeding (whether at law, in equity or otherwise) is instituted concerning or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereunder, the prevailing party shall recover, in addition to any other remedy granted to such party therein, all such party’s costs and attorneys fees incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action, suit or other proceeding.
