NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           Agreement to Vote.
 
(a)           From the date hereof until the Termination Date in accordance with Section 8 (the “Voting Period”), at every meeting of the stockholders of Inuvo 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 the stockholders of Inuvo with respect to any of the following, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or (with respect to any written consent solicitation) deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of the Subject Shares (as defined below): (A) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Inuvo Merger, and any related proposal in furtherance thereof; (B) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the Inuvo Stockholders’ Meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement and/or if there are not sufficient shares present in person or by proxy at the Inuvo Stockholders’ Meeting to constitute a quorum; (C) in favor of any other matter necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (D) against the following actions: (1) any merger, tender offer, exchange offer, sale of all or substantially all assets, recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction or series of transactions involving Inuvo, any of its Subsidiaries and any other Person (including any Inuvo Takover Proposal), other than the Mergers and (2) any other action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to impede, frustrate, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Mergers or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the consummation thereof. The Stockholder retains the authority to vote on all other matters.
 
(b)           At any meeting of the stockholders of Inuvo to which Section 1(a) above is applicable, the Stockholder shall, or shall direct the holder(s) of record of all of the Subject Shares on any applicable record date to, appear, in person or by proxy, at each meeting or otherwise cause all of the Subject Shares to be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum. The Stockholder shall provide CPT with at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice prior to signing any action proposed to be taken by written consent with respect to any Subject Shares.
 
 
 
 
 
(c)           Solely in the event of a failure by the Stockholder to act in accordance with its obligations pursuant to Section 1(a) and Section 1(b) of this Agreement, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to and appoints CPT (and any designee thereof) as the Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Stockholder, to (i) represent the Subject Shares and (ii) vote, execute written consents and otherwise act (by voting at any meeting of stockholders of Inuvo or otherwise) with respect to the Subject Shares, in the case of each of clause (i) and clause (ii), regarding the matters referred to in Section 1(a) and Section 1(b) until, subject to Law, the Termination Date, to the same extent and with the same effect as the Stockholder could do under Law. The Stockholder intends the proxy granted pursuant to this Section 1(c) to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Stockholder with respect to the Subject Shares. The Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all actions that the proxy appointed hereunder may lawfully do or cause to be done in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this proxy shall automatically be revoked on the Termination Date. CPT may terminate this proxy with respect to the Stockholder at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Stockholder. The parties acknowledge and agree that neither CPT, nor any of its Affiliates, shall owe any duty (fiduciary or otherwise), or incur any liability of any kind to the Stockholder or any of its Affiliates, in connection with or as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to CPT by this Section 1(c).
 
(d)           The Stockholder shall use his, her, or its, reasonable best efforts to ensure that all Jointly Owned Shares are voted in accordance with this Agreement and are otherwise subject to its terms and restrictions, including but not limited to the restrictions set forth in Sections 4 and 5.
 
(e)           The following capitalized terms, as used in this Agreement, shall have the meanings set forth below:
 
(i) “Beneficial Owner” shall be interpreted in accordance with the term “beneficial owner” as defined in Rule 13d-3 adopted by the SEC under the Exchange Act; provided that notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of determining Beneficial Ownership, a Person shall be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of any securities which such Person has, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise (irrespective of whether the right to acquire such securities is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time (including the passage of time in excess of sixty days), the satisfaction of any conditions, the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing). The terms “Beneficial Ownership,” “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficially Owned” shall have correlative meanings.
 
(ii) “Company Shares” means, collectively, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Inuvo.
 
(iii) “Existing Shares” means, with respect to the Stockholder, the number of Company Shares Beneficially Owned and/or owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date hereof, as set forth on Schedule A.

(a)           Authority. The Stockholder has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a Proceeding in equity or at Law). Other than as provided in the Merger Agreement and except for any filings by the Stockholder with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the execution, delivery and performance by the Stockholder of this Agreement does not require any action by or in respect of, or any notice, report or other filing by the Stockholder with or to, or any consent, registration, approval, permit or authorization from, any Governmental Entity other than any actions or filings the absence of which would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder’s ability to observe and perform the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder.
 
(b)           No Conflicts. Assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 2(a), neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance with the terms hereof, will (with or without notice or the passage of time or both) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under the Stockholder’s organizational documents, if any, or under any Contract of, or Law applicable to, the Stockholder or to the Stockholder’s property or assets. If the Stockholder is married and any of the Subject Shares constitute community property or spousal approval is otherwise necessary for this Agreement to be legal, binding, and enforceable, this Agreement has been (or promptly shall be) duly executed and delivered by, and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of, the Stockholder’s spouse, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
 
 
 
 
 
(c)           The Subject Shares. The Stockholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of, or is a trust or estate that is the sole record holder of and whose beneficiaries are the sole beneficial owners of, and has good and marketable title to, all of the Existing Shares, free and clear of any and all Liens and free of any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of any Existing Shares), except for (i) any such Liens arising hereunder or under the Merger Agreement, (ii) Liens imposed by federal or state securities laws, (iii) Liens imposed pursuant to any written policies of Inuvo with respect to restrictions upon the trading of securities under applicable securities laws, and (iv) Liens arising under any contract governing the terms of any awards granted to such Stockholder pursuant to an incentive compensation plan other than any of the foregoing that would not prevent, materially delay or materially impair, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder’s ability to observe and perform the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder. The Stockholder does not Beneficially Own or own of record any Company Shares other than the Existing Shares. The Stockholder has, and will have at the time of each Inuvo Stockholders’ Meeting occurring prior to the Mergers with respect to the matters covered by Section 1(a), the sole right to vote and direct the vote of, and to dispose of and direct the disposition of, the Subject Shares, and none of the Subject Shares is subject to any agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the Subject Shares that would prevent or delay the Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. Other than this Agreement, there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, obligating such Stockholder to Transfer (as defined below), or cause to be Transferred, any of the Existing Shares, and no Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Subject Shares.
 
(d)           Reliance by Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo and Inuvo Merger Sub. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo and Inuvo Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and upon the representations and warranties, covenants and other agreements of the Stockholder contained in this Agreement.
 
(e)           Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no (i) action, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Stockholder or any of its Affiliates; or (ii) outstanding order to which the Stockholder or any of its Affiliates are subject or bound, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to or seeks to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the exercise by Parent of its rights under this Agreement or the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement.
 
(f)           Other Agreements. Except for this Agreement, the Stockholder has not: (i) taken any action that would or would reasonably be expected to (A) constitute or result in a breach hereof; (B) make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder set forth in this Section 2 untrue or incorrect; or (C) have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) granted any proxies or powers of attorney, or any other authorization or consent with respect to any of the Subject Shares with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1(a); or (iii) deposited any of the Subject Shares into a separate voting trust or entered into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Subject Shares.
 
(g)           Finders Fees. No broker, investment bank, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial adviser’s or similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Stockholder.
 
 
 
 
 
(h)           Stockholder Has Adequate Information. The Stockholder acknowledges that the Stockholder is a sophisticated investor with respect to the Subject Shares and has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of CPT to make an informed decision regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has, independently and without reliance upon any of Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo, and Inuvo Merger Sub, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, and based on such information as the Stockholder has deemed appropriate, made his or its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Stockholder acknowledges that none of Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo, or Inuvo Merger Sub or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing has made or is making any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Stockholder acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice prior to executing this Agreement.
 
3.           Representations and Warranties of Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo, and Inuvo Merger Sub. Each of Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo, and Inuvo Merger Sub has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo and Inuvo Merger Sub and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo, and Inuvo Merger Sub enforceable against Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo and Inuvo Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a Proceeding in equity or at Law). Other than as provided in the Merger Agreement and any filings by Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo and Inuvo Merger Sub with the SEC, the execution, delivery and performance by Parent, CPT, CPT Merger Sub, Inuvo and Inuvo Merger Sub of this Agreement does not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to any Governmental Entity, other than any consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Mergers.
 
4.           Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Proxies. The Stockholder covenants and agrees that during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Termination Date, the Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, (i) transfer, assign, sell, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (whether by merger, by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by testamentary disposition, by operation of law or otherwise) or consent to any of the foregoing (“Transfer”), or cause to be Transferred, any of the Subject Shares; (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney, or any other authorization or consent with respect to any or all of its Subject Shares in respect of any matter addressed by this Agreement; (iii) deposit any of the Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Subject Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, (iv) enter into any Contract with respect to the Transfer of any Subject Shares; or (v) take any other action, that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder. The foregoing restrictions on Transfers of Subject Shares shall not prohibit any such Transfers by the Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Any purported Transfer of the Subject Shares in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void ab initio.

In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in Company Shares by reason of any split-up, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange of Company Shares or the like, the terms “Existing Shares” and “Subject Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such Company Shares as well as all such stock splits, dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such Company Shares may be converted, changed or exchanged or which are otherwise received in such transaction.

19.           Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
 
21.           Joint Negotiation. The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement.
