Recitals
          A. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder is a material inducement to the willingness of Acquiror to enter into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 26, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Acquiror, Atlas Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and the Company will survive the Merger and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror.
          B. Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of such number of shares of the Company Capital Stock as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.
          C. In consideration of the execution of the Merger Agreement by Acquiror, Stockholder (solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as such) has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to vote the Shares (as defined below) and such other shares of Company Capital Stock over which Stockholder has voting power, so as to facilitate the consummation of the Merger.
          D. Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Company and Acquiror are entitled to rely on (i) the truth and accuracy of Stockholder’s representations contained herein and (ii) Stockholder’s performance of the obligations set forth herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement and in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
     1. Restrictions on Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions herein and in the Merger Agreement,
          (a) Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer (except as may be specifically required by court order or by operation of law), grant an option with respect to, sell, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber the Shares (as such term is defined in Section 4 below) or any New Shares (as such term is defined in Section 1(d) below), or make any offer or enter into any agreement providing for any of the foregoing, at any time prior to the Expiration Date; provided, however, that nothing contained herein will be deemed to restrict the ability of Stockholder to (i) exercise, prior to the Expiration Date, any Company Options held by Stockholder, (ii) transfer or otherwise dispose of Shares to a charitable organization qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (iii) if an individual Stockholder, transfer or otherwise dispose of Shares to any member of Stockholder’s immediate family; or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholders’ immediate family, (iv) if an entity Stockholder, transfer any Shares to any affiliated fund, or (v) if an entity Stockholder, transfer, by way of a distribution in kind following the initial record date set for the Company Stockholders Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement), any Shares, to its

1


 

limited partners and/or general partner in accordance with the terms of its limited partnership agreement; provided however, that any transfer referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), and (iv) of this section shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such transfer, the transferee, whether a charitable organization, affiliated entity, individual or trust, agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, if requested by Acquiror, to execute a Proxy (as hereinafter defined); provided further that Stockholder shall be able to make a one time transfer or other disposition to a charitable organization qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, of up to ___shares of Company Common Stock without such charitable organization agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the date and time of the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.
          (b) Prior to the Expiration Date, Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust, enter into a voting agreement (other than this Agreement) or similar binding commitment with respect to any of the Shares.
          (c) Prior to the Expiration Date, Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action (other than any action of Stockholder or any representative of Stockholder or employee or member of any Affiliate of Stockholder (each a “Representative”), in such Stockholder’s or Representative’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company, in the exercise of such Stockholder’s fiduciary or other duties with respect to an Alternative Transaction Proposal or Superior Proposal in compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement) that would make any representation or warranty contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of impairing the ability of Stockholder to perform such Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement or preventing or delaying the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
          (d) Any shares of Company Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company that Stockholder purchases or with respect to which Stockholder otherwise acquires voting rights after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date, including pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (collectively, the “New Shares”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Shares.
     2. Agreement to Vote Shares. Prior to the Expiration Date, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to any of the following matters, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or resolution of the stockholders of the Company with respect to any of the following matters, Stockholder shall vote, to the extent not voted by the person(s) appointed under the Proxy (as defined in Section 3 below), (i) the Shares, (ii) any shares of Company Common Stock that have ceased to be Shares as a result of a transfer pursuant to Section 1(a)(v) above (provided that Stockholder is the stockholder of record as of the applicable record date and accordingly legally entitled to vote such shares of Company Common Stock described in this clause (ii)), and (iii) any New Shares held by Stockholder at the time any such vote is taken in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and any matter proposed in connection with the Merger that is reasonably necessary to facilitate the Merger, and against any Alternative Transaction Proposal and any other matter that would reasonably be expected to prevent, delay, postpone or frustrate the purposes of the Merger (other than any adjournment or postponement of any aforementioned meeting of the stockholders of the Company).
     3. Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Stockholder shall deliver to Acquiror a duly executed proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Proxy”), which proxy is coupled with an interest, and, until the Expiration Date, shall be irrevocable to

2


 

the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, with respect to each and every meeting of stockholders of the Company or action or approval by written resolution or consent of stockholders of the Company with respect to the matters contemplated by Section 2 covering the total number of Shares, any shares of Company Common Stock that have ceased to be Shares as a result of a transfer pursuant to Section 1(a)(v) above, and New Shares in respect of which Stockholder is entitled to vote at any such meeting or in connection with any such written consent. Upon the execution of this Agreement by Stockholder, (i) Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies (other than the Proxy) given by Stockholder with respect to the voting of the Shares in connection with the matters set forth in Section 2, and (ii) Stockholder shall not grant any subsequent proxies with respect to the voting of the Shares in connection with the matters set forth in Section 2, or enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person to vote or give instructions with respect to the Shares and the New Shares in any manner inconsistent with the terms of Section 2, until after the Expiration Date.
     4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Stockholder. Stockholder hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Acquiror as follows as of the date hereof (except as specifically set forth below):
          (a) Stockholder is the beneficial or record owner of, or has the right to exercise voting power over, that number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth on the signature page hereto (all such shares owned beneficially or of record by Stockholder, or over which Stockholder exercises voting power, on the date hereof, are collectively, the “Shares”; provided that Shares subsequently transferred as permitted in Section 1(a) above shall from and after such transfer cease to be considered Shares). As of the date hereof, the Shares constitute Stockholder’s entire interest in the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Stockholder is not the beneficial or record holder of, and does not exercise voting power over, any other outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock. No person who is not a signatory to this Agreement has a beneficial interest in or a right to acquire or vote any of the Shares (other than, (i) if Stockholder is a partnership, the rights and interest of persons and entities that own partnership interests in Stockholder under the partnership agreement governing Stockholder and applicable partnership law or (ii) if Stockholder is a married individual and resides in a State with community property laws, the community property interest of his or her spouse to the extent applicable under such community property laws). The Shares are and will be at all times up until the Expiration Date free and clear of any security interests, liens, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, agreements, limitations on Stockholder’s voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature that would materially and adversely affect Stockholder’s ability to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement. Stockholder’s current principal residence or current place of business is set forth on the signature page hereto.
          (b) Stockholder has all requisite power, capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder and the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action, if any, on the part of Stockholder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Stockholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Acquiror, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity.
          (c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, or require notice to or the consent of any person under, any contract, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order

3


 

or decree by which Stockholder is bound, except for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect Stockholder’s ability to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.
          (d) If the Stockholder is an entity and not an individual, until the Expiration Date, such Stockholder, in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company only, shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its general partners, officers, managers, employees or affiliated investment funds to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, seek, endorse, recommend or support, or knowingly encourage or facilitate, any inquiry, proposal or offer from, furnish any non-public information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with (except to disclose the existence of the provisions of this Section 4), or enter into any agreement with, any party or group regarding any Alternative Transaction, provided that nothing herein shall prevent any director of the Company from exercising such director’s fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company.
     5. Consent and Waiver; Termination of Existing Agreements. Stockholder hereby agrees to give any consents or waivers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the Merger under the terms of any agreement or instrument to which Stockholder is a party or subject or in respect of any rights Stockholder may have in connection with the Merger (whether such rights exist under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, any Contract to which the Company is a party or by which it is, or any of its assets are, bound under statutory or common law or otherwise). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Stockholder hereby waives any and all rights to contest or object to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Company Board of Directors’ actions in approving and recommending the Merger, the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions provided for in the Merger Agreement, or to seek damages or other legal or equitable relief in connection therewith. From and after the Effective Time, Stockholder’s right to receive cash on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement shall constitute Stockholder’s sole and exclusive right against the Company and/or Acquiror in respect of Stockholder’s ownership of the Shares and the New Shares or status as a stockholder of the Company or any agreement or instrument with the Company pertaining to the Shares or New Shares or Stockholder’s status as a stockholder of the Company.
     6. Confidentiality. Until the Acquiror has publicly disclosed the Merger, Stockholder shall hold any information regarding this Agreement and the Merger in strict confidence and shall not divulge any such information to any third person.
     7. Appraisal Rights. Stockholder agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal or any dissenters’ rights that Stockholder may have (whether under Applicable Law or otherwise) or could potentially have or acquire in connection with the Merger.
     8. Miscellaneous.
          (a) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given on (i) the date of delivery, if delivered personally or by commercial delivery service, or (ii) on the date of confirmation of receipt (or the next Business Day, if the date of confirmation of receipt is not a Business Day), if sent via facsimile (with confirmation of receipt), to the parties hereto at the following address (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):
