     WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent and Purchaser to agree to the amendments to the CVR Agreement that have been made on and as of the date hereof increasing the Base CVR Percentage from 60% to 68%, Parent and Purchaser have requested that the Stockholder enter into, and the Stockholder has agreed to enter into, this Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Stockholder, Parent and Purchaser desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this Agreement; and

ARTICLE I
TENDER OF SHARES; VOTING; EXPIRATION

     Section 1.1      Tender of Shares. Subject to Section 1.4

          (a)      promptly, but in any event no later than two business days, after the date of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall tender (or cause the relevant record holder(s) to tender) in the Offer, and not withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, all shares of Company Common Stock currently beneficially owned by the Stockholder and any of its affiliates and any additional shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which the Stockholder or

any of its Affiliates becomes the beneficial owner after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Subject Shares”); and

          (b)      if the Stockholder or any of its affiliates acquires any additional Subject Shares after having previously tendered its Subject Shares pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Stockholder shall also tender (or shall cause its affiliates to tender), and not withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, those Subject Shares promptly after the acquisition of those shares and in any event before the then scheduled Expiration Date.

     Section 1.2      Voting. If the Subject Shares of the Stockholder or any of its affiliates have not been previously accepted for payment and paid for by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer or, after the consummation of the Offer, the Stockholder or any of its affiliates acquires any additional (or at that otherwise beneficially owns) any Subject Shares, then the Stockholder hereby agrees that at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, or in any written consent in lieu thereof, it shall, or shall cause the record holder(s) of the Subject Shares then owned by the Stockholder or any of its affiliates to, vote all of those Subject Shares (i) in favor of the Merger and (ii) against any actual or proposed action, agreement or transaction that would impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger, the Offer or any other transaction contemplated by or in connection with the Merger Agreement or the CVR Agreement.

The parties hereto further agree that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect even if the Merger Agreement, the CVR Agreement and/or the Declaration of Trust is amended, unless any such amendment is material to the Stockholder in which event this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement shall terminate, and be of no further force or effect, on and as of the date of that amendment, unless Parent and Purchaser shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Stockholder for that amendment; provided that it is understood and agreed that any reduction in the Offer Price or the Merger Consideration shall be deemed to be material to the Stockholder for purposes of this sentence. Sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.6, 5.8, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 1.3.
