Section 4.3 Reasonable Efforts. Each Stockholder shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 4.3 shall not require the Stockholders to interfere with the composition or actions of the Company's Board of Directors or to acquire additional securities nor provide financing to the Company.
Section 4.4 Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby constitutes and appoints Xxxxx Xxxxxx with full power of substitution, as the proxy pursuant to the provisions of Section 14A:5-19 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act and attorney of such Stockholder, and hereby authorizes and empowers Xxxxx Xxxxxx to represent, vote and otherwise act (by voting at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, by written consent in lieu thereof or otherwise) with respect to the Subject Shares owned or held by such Stockholder regarding the matters referred to in Sections 3.1(a) and (b) until the termination of this Agreement, to the same extent and with the same effect as such Stockholder might or could do under applicable law, rules and regulations.

Section 4.5 Option.
(a) The Stockholders hereby grant to CIBER an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase that portion of the Subject Shares held by each Stockholder at a price of $4.05 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.5(d) (as adjusted, the "Option Price"). The Option shall be exercisable at any time after the occurrence of a Triggering Event and prior to the Option Termination Date (as defined herein). If CIBER elects to exercise the Option, CIBER shall notify the Stockholders of such election by delivering a written notice to that effect setting forth the date for the consummation of the purchase (such date being referred to as the "Option Closing Date"), which date shall be no earlier than ten (10) days after the Triggering Event (as defined herein) (the "Grace Period") or later than thirty (30) days after the date the notice is delivered. CIBER shall have the right to exercise the Option as to all, but not less than all, of the Subject Shares. Notwithstanding the exercise of the Option by CIBER, if the Termination Fee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is paid to CIBER prior to the earlier of the expiration of the Grace Period or one (1) Business Day (as defined in the Merger Agreement) prior to a Material Change (as defined herein) in the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with a Business Combination (as defined in the Merger Agreement) involving a Person other than CIBER or one of its affiliates, the exercise of the Option shall thereupon be rescinded and the Option terminated.
(b) On the Option Closing Date, CIBER shall pay to each of the Stockholders an amount equal to the number of Subject Shares being sold by such person multiplied by the Option Price. Such amount shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts of the selling Stockholders as such Stockholder shall designate to CIBER, not less than three (3) business days prior to the Option Closing Date.
(c) On the Option Closing Date, the Stockholders shall deliver to CIBER stock certificates representing all of the Subject Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer. Each Stockholder shall deliver his Subject Shares to CIBER free and clear of security interests, liens and rights of third parties.
(d) If the Company shall at any time subdivide or split its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or declare any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, the Option Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision, split, or dividend shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number, the Option Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
(e) The "Triggering Event" shall be the termination of the Merger Agreement under circumstances that entitle CIBER to receive a Termination Fee. "Material Change" shall mean a change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company, such that the individuals composing such Board of Directors at the date hereof do not then constitute a majority of such Board.
(f) The "Option Termination Date" shall mean the earliest of (i) the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement if CIBER is not entitled to receive a Termination Fee in connection with such termination, or (iii) upon payment of the Termination Fee if CIBER is entitled to such fee in connection with the Termination of the Merger Agreement.
(g) Upon the written request of CIBER, the Stockholders shall deliver the Subject Shares to the Company and instruct the Company to place the following legend on each certificate representing the Shares and record corresponding stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent:

Section 7.11 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the parties hereto to the maximum extent possible. In any event, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including that provision, in any other jurisdiction. 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the terms of this Agreement remain as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
