Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, Bellisio Acquisition

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement is required under the Nevada Revised

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements and covenants set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties

who together with such Person would constitute a "group" within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The term Beneficially Owned shall
exclude Shares over which the Stockholder does not hold the power to vote
pursuant to arrangements with such Stockholder's investment management
clients.

par value $0.01 per share.

ARTICLE II

indirectly, (a) sell, pledge, encumber, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose
of any or all of the Stockholder's Shares or any interest in the Stockholder's
Shares, (b) deposit the Stockholder's Shares or any interest in the
Stockholder's Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or
arrangement with respect to any of his, her or its Shares or grant any proxy
or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than as contemplated herein)
or (c) enter into any contract, commitment, option or other arrangement or
undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition (whether by

management client assets under management; or (C) to one or more partners or
members of the Stockholder or to an Affiliate under common control with the

substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Voting Agreement.
2.2 Vote in Favor of the Merger and Related Matters. The Stockholder,

Company), irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from and after the date
hereof until the Expiration Date (as defined below), at any meeting of the
stockholders of the Company or any adjournment thereof, or in
2
connection with any action by written consent of the stockholders of the
Company, the Stockholder shall:
(a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the
Stockholder's Shares Beneficially Owned or owned of record by the Stockholder
to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum;
(b) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or deliver
a written consent (or cause a consent to be delivered) covering, all of the
Stockholder's Shares: (i) in favor of, and will otherwise support, the

to the consummation or facilitation of, or otherwise in furtherance of, the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iii) except for the
Merger and the Merger Agreement, against, and not otherwise support, any
Acquisition Proposal or any other action, agreement or transaction submitted
for approval of the Company's stockholders that is intended, or could
reasonably be expected, to materially impede, interfere or be inconsistent
with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect
consummation of the Merger, including, without limitation, any extraordinary
transaction, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, recapitalization or other
business combination involving the Company or any other action or agreement
that could reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any
covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of
the Company under the Merger Agreement or that could reasonably be expected
to result in any of the conditions to the Company's obligations under the
Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or satisfied;
2.3 Consent to Consideration. The Stockholder acknowledges that he,
she or it is familiar with or has reviewed the Merger Agreement, understands
that the only consideration that he, she or it is entitled to receive as a
stockholder of the Company in connection with the Merger is the consideration
to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Stockholder hereby
consents to such consideration.
2.4 Termination. This Voting Agreement, the obligations of the
Stockholder pursuant to this Voting Agreement shall terminate upon the
earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have
been validly terminated pursuant to its terms, (b) such date and time as the
Merger shall have become effective in accordance with the terms and provisions
of the Merger Agreement, (c) November 14, 2013 and (d) such time as the Merger
Agreement is amended to change the form, or reduce the amount, of Merger
Consideration to be paid pursuant thereto (such earliest date, the "Expiration
Date"); provided, however, that if the Merger shall become effective,
the Stockholder's obligations pursuant to Articles IV and V hereof shall survive
such termination as shall any unfulfilled obligations of the Stockholder.

the transactions contemplated hereby. This Voting Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Stockholder and, assuming
the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Voting Agreement by
Parent, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder,
enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms (except as

which the Stockholder is bound or affected, (ii) violate or conflict with the
Articles, the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company or the articles
of incorporation or bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents of the
Stockholder, if applicable, or (iii) except where it would not interfere with
the Stockholder's ability to perform his, her or its obligations hereunder,
result in or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) any
breach of or default under, or give to another party any right of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any
lien or encumbrance or restriction on any of the property or assets of the
Stockholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation
to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or any of the
Stockholder's properties or assets is bound or affected. There is no

trust of which the Stockholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the
execution and delivery of this Voting Agreement or the consummation by the
Stockholder of the transactions contemplated by this Voting Agreement.
(b) The execution and delivery of this Voting Agreement to Parent
by the Stockholder does not, and the performance of this Voting Agreement will

notifications, would not interfere with the Stockholder's ability to perform
his, her or its obligations hereunder.
3.3 Litigation. There is no private or governmental action, suit,
proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation pending or, to the knowledge
of the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder's Affiliates, threatened before

the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder's Affiliates or any of their
respective properties or assets or any of their respective officers or
directors, in the case of a corporate entity (in their capacities as such),
or any of their respective officers or partners (in the case of a
partnership), or any of their respective officers, managers or members (in
the case of a limited liability company), that would interfere with the
Stockholder's ability to perform his, her or its obligations hereunder.
There is no judgment, decree or order against the Stockholder or any of the
Stockholder's Affiliates, or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, any of
their respective directors or officers (in their capacities as such), in the
case of a corporate entity, or any of their respective officers or partners
(in the case of a partnership), or any of their respective officers, managers
or members (in the case of a limited liability company), that would prevent,
enjoin, alter or delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Voting
Agreement, or that would otherwise interfere with the Stockholder's ability
to perform its obligations hereunder.
3.4 Title to Shares. The Stockholder is the record or beneficial owner
of the Stockholder's Shares and has good title to the Stockholder's Shares
free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, charges,

preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. Parent shall not be deemed to have
