into or exercise its rights under any voting arrangement, whether by proxy,

the Transactions and the Merger Agreement or at any adjournment thereof or in
any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval (including
by written consent) with respect to the Transactions and the Merger Agreement or
which is necessary to consummate the Transactions or for the Company to perform
its obligations under the Merger Agreement is sought, each Shareholder shall,
including by executing a written consent if requested by the Company, vote (or

Shareholder, to vote such Shareholder's Shares, or grant a consent or approval
in respect of such Shares, at any meeting of Shareholders of the Company or at
any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which their vote,

may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Such irrevocable proxy is
executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of
Section 609 of the New York Business Corporation Law.

execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional or
further transfers, assignments, endorsements, consents and other instruments as
the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively carrying out
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to vest the power to vote

3

implied, not contained in this Agreement and acknowledges that it has not

understandings or warranties not contained herein and that this Agreement

(g) SEVERABILITY Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or
4
unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction,
but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction
to the greatest extent possible to carry out the intentions of the parties
hereto.
(h) DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. No delay or omission to exercise any right,
power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or
default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right,
power or remedy of such nonbreaching or nondefaulting party nor shall it be
construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence
therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor
shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other
breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.
