Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

Voting Agreement

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Vista Funds have agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock held by such Reporting Persons in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement at any Issuer stockholder meeting called for the purpose of obtaining such approval. The Voting Agreement restricts the Vista Funds ability to transfer shares of Common Stock, subject to certain limited exceptions.

WHEREAS, the Special Committee has unanimously (i) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into the Merger Agreement providing for the Merger, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; (ii) approved the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Company, the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; and (iii) resolved to recommend that the Company Board approve and adopt the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, has unanimously (i) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into the Merger Agreement providing for the Merger, in accordance with DGCL upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; (ii) approved the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Company, the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; (iii) resolved to recommend that the Company Stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement in accordance with the DGCL; and (iv) directed that the adoption of the Merger Agreement be submitted for consideration by the Company Stockholders at a meeting thereof; and


WHEREAS, as an inducement and condition for Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, each Stockholder has agreed to enter into this Agreement with respect to such Stockholder’s Covered Shares.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. When used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Section 1.

Expiration Time” shall mean the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time or (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be validly terminated pursuant to Article VIII thereof.

Transfer” shall mean (a) any direct or indirect offer, sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, gift, hedge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, or entry into any option or other Contract, arrangement or understanding with respect to any offer, sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition (whether by sale, liquidation, dissolution, dividend or distribution) or other transfer (by merger, consolidation, division, conversion, operation of Law or otherwise), of any Covered Shares or any interest in any Covered Shares (in each case other than this Agreement), (b) the deposit of such Covered Shares into a voting trust, the entry into a voting agreement or arrangement (other than this Agreement) with respect to such Covered Shares or the grant of any proxy or power of attorney with respect to such Covered Shares or (c) any Contract or commitment (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) or (b) above.

2. Agreement to Not Transfer the Covered Shares. Until the Expiration Time, each Stockholder agrees not to Transfer or cause or permit the Transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares, other than with the prior written consent of Parent; provided, however, that any Stockholder may Transfer any such Covered Shares to (a) any other Stockholder or any Affiliate of any such Stockholder or (b) any beneficial owner of Stockholder, in each case only if the transferee of such Covered Shares evidences in a writing reasonably satisfactory to Parent such transferee’s agreement to be bound by and subject to the terms and provisions hereof to the same effect as such transferring Stockholder. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Covered Shares in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever. Each Stockholder agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, become a member of a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any securities in the Company for the purpose of opposing or competing with or taking any actions inconsistent with the Transactions.

3. Agreement to Vote the Covered Shares.

3.1 Until the Expiration Time, at every meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which any of the following matters are to be voted on (and at every adjournment or postponement thereof), and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the Company Stockholders, each Stockholder shall vote (including via proxy) all of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares (or cause the holder(s) of record on any applicable record date to vote (including via proxy) all of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares:

(a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and

(b) against (i) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied prior to the Termination Date, (ii) any Acquisition Proposal and (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any other extraordinary transaction involving the Company that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

3.2 Until the Expiration Time, at every meeting of the Company’s stockholders (and at every adjournment or postponement thereof), each Stockholder shall be represented in person or by proxy at such meeting (or cause the holder(s) of record on any applicable record date to be represented in person or by proxy at such meeting) in order for the Covered Shares to be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time following the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Time a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction enters an order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Stockholders from taking any action pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 of this Agreement, then the obligations of each Stockholder set forth in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 of this Agreement shall be of no force and effect for so long as such order is in effect solely to the extent such order restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits such Stockholder from taking any such action.

4. [Reserved]

6. Documentation and Information. Except as required by applicable Law (including the filing of a Schedule 13D with the SEC which may include this Agreement as an exhibit thereto), each Stockholder shall not, and shall direct its Representatives not to, make any public announcement regarding this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Stockholder and its Affiliates may provide ordinary course communications regarding this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to existing or prospective general and limited partners, equity holders, members, managers and investors of any Affiliates of such Person, in each case, who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions. Each Stockholder consents to and hereby authorizes Parent and Merger Sub to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent or Merger Sub reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with the Merger and any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, such Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Covered Shares, the existence of this Agreement and the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement, and each Stockholder acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub may, in Parent’s sole discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or any other Governmental Authority. Each party hereto agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to promptly (a) give the other party any information it may reasonably require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and (b) notify the other party of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by it specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that such party shall become aware that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

7. No Solicitation.

7.1 No Solicitation or Negotiation. Each Stockholder shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, propose or knowingly induce the making, submission or announcement of, or knowingly encourage, facilitate or assist, any proposal or offer with respect to, that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (b) furnish to any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any designees of Parent or Merger Sub) any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford to any Person access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or personnel, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in any such case with the intent to knowingly induce the making, submission or announcement of, or to knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate, any proposal or offer with respect to, that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (c) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (or inquiries, proposals or offers that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal); (d) approve, endorse or recommend an Acquisition Proposal; or (e) approve, recommend or enter into, or propose to approve, recommend to enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Following the execution of this Agreement, each Stockholder shall immediately cease and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to immediately cease any discussions, communications or negotiations with any Person (other than the Parties and their respective Representatives) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal (or proposals or offers that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal) by such Person, in each case that exists as of the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.1, each Stockholder may engage in such activities solely to the extent that the Company is permitted to engage in such activities pursuant to Section 5.3(b) of the Merger Agreement.

7.2 Notice. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Article VIII thereof and the Effective Time, each Stockholder shall as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within 48 hours) notify Parent if any Acquisition Proposal or any offers or proposals that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal are received by such Stockholder or any of its Representatives. Such notice must include (a) the identity of the Person or Group making such Acquisition Proposal; and (b) a summary of the material terms and conditions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the form and amount of consideration and proposed financing arrangements) of any such Acquisition Proposal and, to the extent submitted in writing, copies of any such Acquisition Proposal. Thereafter, the Stockholders must keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and, in any event, within 48 hours), of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal (including any amendments, revisions or other changes thereto) and the status of any related discussions or negotiations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders shall not be required to notify Parent of any discussions or negotiations to the extent the Company has notified Parent thereof.

(b) Parent and the Stockholders will each use its reasonable best efforts to furnish all information concerning such Party and its controlled Affiliates to the other parties that is reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement and the SEC Filings, and provide such other assistance, as may be reasonably requested by such other Party to be included therein and will otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement and the SEC Filings and the resolution of any comments to either received from the SEC.

12.1 Due Authority. Parent has the full power and capacity to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement. Parent is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in accordance with the laws of its jurisdiction of formation.

13.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

-11-


13.11 Reliance. Each Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

13.12 Interpretation. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules are to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Exhibit or Schedule but not otherwise defined therein, shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement. Any singular term in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import. “Writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form. References to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including such date or through and including such date, respectively. References to any period of days will be deemed to be to the relevant number of calendar days unless otherwise specified. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and does not simply mean “if.” When used in this Agreement, references to “$” or “Dollars” are references to U.S. dollars. Unless the context otherwise requires, any definition of or reference to any Law or any provision of any Law herein shall be construed as referring to such Law as from time to time amended, supplemented or modified, including by succession of comparable successor Laws and references to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or pursuant thereto. References to any agreement or Contract are to that agreement or Contract as amended, modified or supplemented (including by waiver or consent) from time to time. The parties agree that they have been represented by legal counsel during the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and therefore waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

13.13 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

-12-


13.14 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

13.15 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

13.16 Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions, proceedings, causes of action, claims or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort, statute or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws, including any statutes of limitations, of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

13.17 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any schedule, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement. This Section 13.17 shall not limit any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that by its terms is to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement.

13.18 Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate without further action by any of the parties hereto and shall have no further force or effect as of the earliest to occur of (a) the Expiration Time, (b) a Company Board Recommendation Change in accordance with the Merger Agreement or (c) with respect to any Stockholder, the election of such Stockholder in its, his or her sole discretion to terminate this Agreement promptly following any amendment of any term or provision of the original unamended Merger Agreement dated as of the date hereof, without the prior written consent of such Stockholder, that reduces or changes the form of consideration payable pursuant to such Merger Agreement; provided that the provisions of this

 

-13-


Section 13 shall survive any such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination of this Agreement shall not prevent any party hereto from seeking any remedies (at law or in equity) against any other party for that party’s breach of any of the terms of this Agreement prior to the date of termination.
