| Section | 3. VOTING OF SHARES |
3.1 Voting Covenant. Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the Voting Period, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (however called), and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, Stockholder shall cause the Subject Shares to be voted by granting and delivering a valid proxy or other instructions necessary to vote the Subject Shares at such meeting (or adjournment or postponement thereof) no later than the fifth Business Day prior to the scheduled date of such meeting (or adjournment or postponement thereof):
(a) in favor of: (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (ii) any action in furtherance of the adoption of the Merger Agreement;
(b) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement; and
(c) against any proposal involving any Acquired Company that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions.
Stockholder shall not revoke or modify the proxy or other instructions granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence prior to the earlier of (i) the completion of the applicable meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) or (ii) the expiration of the Voting Period, except, in each case, as may be necessary to comply with the voting obligations set forth in this Section 3.1, including, if the Company’s board of directors makes a Company Recommendation Change prior to such meeting, as may be necessary to cause the Subject Shares to be voted in accordance with the immediately following sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company’s board of directors makes a Company Recommendation Change during the Voting Period, then, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (however called), and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, that occurs after such Company Recommendation Change and at which any of the matters described in this Section 3.1 are submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, Stockholder shall cause the Subject Shares to be voted in the same proportion (for, against or abstain) as the votes that are collectively cast by all of the other holders of Company Common Stock who are present and voting with respect to each such matter.
3.2 Other Voting Agreements. During the Voting Period, Stockholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person to vote or give any instruction in any manner inconsistent with Section 3.1.

Stockholder shall not deposit the Subject Shares in a voting trust or enter into any tender, voting or other similar agreement, or grant a proxy or power of attorney, with respect to the Subject Shares, in each case that is inconsistent with this Agreement, or otherwise take any other action with respect to any of the Subject Securities that would in any way prevent, restrict, materially interfere with or materially impair the performance of Stockholder’s obligations hereunder.
3
3.4 Other Proposals. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall require Stockholder to vote in any manner with respect to any amendment to the Merger Agreement or the taking of any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the amendment, modification or waiver of a provision of the Merger Agreement, in any such case, in a manner that (i) decreases the Exchange Ratio (other than any such decrease in accordance with Section 1.5(b) of the Merger Agreement), decreases the amount of Merger Consideration or changes the form of the Merger Consideration, (ii) imposes any material restrictions or any additional material conditions on the consummation of the Merger or the payment of the Merger Consideration to stockholders or (iii) extends the End Date.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder do not, and the performance of this Agreement by Stockholder will not, require any Consent of any Person, except where the failure to obtain such Consent would not prevent, materially interfere with, materially delay or materially impair Stockholder’s ability to perform Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement. Stockholder is not, nor will Stockholder be, required to give any notice to any Person in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement.

5.2 Fiduciary Duties. Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in Stockholder’s capacity as an Owner of Subject Securities, and Stockholder shall not be deemed to be making any agreement in this Agreement in Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company, or that would limit Stockholder’s ability to take or fulfill, or refrain from taking or fulfilling, actions or fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company.

From time to time and without additional consideration, Stockholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional proxies, consents, certificates, instruments and documents, and shall take such further actions, as are reasonably necessary and as Parent or the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out and furthering the intent of this Agreement.

5.7 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
5.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and all Exhibits hereto and thereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect thereto.
5.9 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented other than by means of a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Parent and Stockholder.
5.10 Assignment; Binding Effect; No Third Party Rights. Except as provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Stockholder, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any of such interests or obligations shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon Stockholder and Stockholder’s heirs, estate, executors and personal representatives and Stockholder’s successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Parent and its successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any Person (other than Parent and its successors and assigns) any rights or remedies of any nature.
5.11 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement required to be performed by any party were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Stockholder agrees that, in the event
7
of any breach or threatened breach by Stockholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled, without any proof of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it at law or in equity, including monetary damages) to obtain: (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Stockholder further agrees: (i) that neither Parent nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 5.11, and Stockholder irrevocably waives any right Stockholder may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument; and (ii) not to assert that (A) a remedy of specific performance or an injunction is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason or (B) a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.
5.12 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of Parent, the Company and Stockholder under this Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which it may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative).
5.13 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This Agreement, and any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement), whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the choice of laws principles or any borrowing statute of the State of Delaware, as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance and remedies. In any action between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement (whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise), each of the parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chosen Court; (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from the Chosen Court; and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any such action in any court other than the Chosen Court. Service of any process, summons, notice or document to any party’s address and in the manner set forth in Section 5.6 shall be effective service of process for any such action.
(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES, AGREES AND CERTIFIES THAT: (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO PREVENT OR DELAY ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH WAIVER; (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER; (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.13.
8
5.14 Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile or Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format, through an electronic signature service or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms of this Agreement.
5.15 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
5.16 Waiver. No failure on the part of any party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim available to it arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of such party under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
5.17 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other Contract between Stockholder, on the one hand, and Parent or the Company, on the other hand. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Stockholder against the Company or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Stockholder. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent under the Merger Agreement, or any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under any agreement between Stockholder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Stockholder in favor of Parent; and nothing in the Merger Agreement or in any other such agreement, certificate or instrument, shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under this Agreement.
5.18 Construction.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders.
(b) The parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
(c) As used in this Agreement, the words “include,” “including” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and does not simply mean “if.” The rule known as the ejusdem generis rule will not apply, and accordingly, general words introduced by the word “other” will not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are preceded by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters or things. The words “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either” and “or” are not exclusive.
9
(d) Except as otherwise indicated: (i) all references in this Agreement to “Sections” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits to this Agreement; (ii) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iii) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document or any Legal Requirement in this Agreement shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document or Legal Requirement as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified; and (iv) any statute defined or referred to in this Agreement shall include all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(e) Solely for purposes of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of Stockholder, and Stockholder shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
5.19 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the Expiration Time, without any further obligation or liability of any party under this Agreement; provided, however, that: (a) this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) if the Effective Time does not occur, the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve Stockholder from any liability arising from any intentional fraud or any knowing and intentional breach of any covenant or obligation in this Agreement prior to such termination.
5.20 No Agreement Until Executed; No Ownership Rights. Irrespective of negotiations among the parties or the exchanging of drafts of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute or be deemed to evidence a contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties unless and until (a) the Company’s board of directors has approved for purposes of any applicable anti-takeover laws and regulations the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement is executed by all parties hereto. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in the Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates any direct or indirect ownership of or with respect to the Subject Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Subject Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Stockholder and neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall possess any power or authority to direct Stockholder in the voting of any of the Subject Shares, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.
5.21 No Recourse. Neither Stockholder nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable for claims, losses, damages, expenses and other liabilities or obligations resulting from or related to breaches of the Merger Agreement by the Company. In no event shall Stockholder have any liability under this Agreement with respect to the representations, warranties, liabilities, covenants or obligations under any other voting agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement to which Stockholder is not a party.
