As used herein, the term “Transfer” shall mean, with respect to any security, the direct or indirect assignment, sale, transfer, tender, pledge, hypothecation, or the gift, placement in trust, or the Constructive Sale (as defined below) or other disposition of such security (excluding transfers by testamentary or intestate succession or otherwise by operation of law) or any right, title or interest therein (including, but not limited to, any right or power to vote to which the holder thereof may be entitled, whether such right or power is granted by proxy or otherwise), or the record or beneficial ownership thereof, the offer to make such a sale, transfer, Constructive Sale or other disposition, and each agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing, excluding any of the foregoing effected (A) pursuant to a court order, (B) pursuant to the Merger, (C) pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, (D) to any transferee if such transferee, prior to the Transfer, executes a binding agreement in favor of Parent and the Company agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Shares or New Shares being transferred. As used herein, the term “Constructive Sale” shall mean, with respect to any security, a short sale with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring an offsetting derivative contract with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a futures or forward contract to deliver such security or entering into any other hedging or other derivative transaction that has the effect of materially changing the economic benefits and risks of ownership.
(b) New Shares. Shareholder agrees that any shares of capital stock of the Parent that Shareholder purchases or with respect to which Shareholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time, including, without limitation, shares issued or issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange, as the case may be, of all securities held by Shareholder which are convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of capital stock of the Parent (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares as of the date hereof.
2. Agreement to Vote Shares. Until the Expiration Time, at every meeting of shareholders of the Parent called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of shareholders of the Parent with respect to any of the following, Shareholder shall vote, to the extent not voted by the person(s) appointed under the Proxy (as defined in Section 3), the outstanding Shares and any outstanding New Shares (to the extent any such New Shares may be voted):
(i) in favor of approval of the issuance of shares of the common stock of the Parent as consideration for the Merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and in favor of the Financing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement);
(ii) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the issuance of shares of the common stock of the Parent as consideration for the Merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement; and
(iii) against any action which Parent is prohibited from taking under Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement.
Prior to the Expiration Time, Shareholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any person to vote or give instructions in any manner inconsistent with this Section 2.
3. Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Shareholder agrees to deliver to Company an irrevocable proxy in the form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Proxy”), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, covering the total number of Shares and New Shares.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder do not, and Shareholder’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not conflict with or violate any order, decree, judgment or agreement known by the Shareholder to be applicable to such Shareholder or by which Shareholder or any of Shareholder’s properties or Shares is bound.
(iii) Shareholder does not beneficially own any shares of capital stock of the Parent, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of capital stock of the Parent, other than as set forth on the signature page hereto.

8. Miscellaneous.
(a) Directors and Officers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shareholder has entered into this Agreement in its, his or her capacity as a Shareholder of the Parent, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict Shareholder or any representative of Shareholder from acting, if applicable, in the Shareholder’s or such representative’s capacity as a director or officer of the Parent (it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to Shareholder solely in Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of the Parent) or voting in Shareholder’s sole discretion on any matter other than those matters referred to in Section 2. Company covenants that it will not bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute, participate in or voluntarily aid any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any governmental entity, which (i) alleges that any action taken (or not taken) by Shareholder or Shareholder’s representative solely in Shareholder’s or such representative’s capacity as a director or officer of the Parent breaches or violates or would breach or violate any provision of this Agreement or the Proxy or (ii) challenges the right of Shareholder to vote or challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin any vote by Shareholder (or the grant of a proxy with respect thereto) on any matter other than those matters set forth in Section 2.
(b) Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any condition or any breach of any term or provision set forth in this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the other party hereto. The waiver of any breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other previous or subsequent breach of any term or provision of this Agreement. No delay or omission by Company in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right or any other right under this Agreement.
(c) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, (ii) on the date of confirmation of receipt (or the first business day following such receipt if the date is not a business day) if sent via facsimile (receipt confirmed), or (iii) on the date of confirmation of receipt (or the first business day following such receipt if the date is not a business day) if delivered by a nationally recognized courier service.
