Prior to the Termination Date, subject to Section 5, the Shareholder shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause his Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) the making of any proposal or offer concerning any Acquisition Proposal, other than the Merger, (ii) engage in any discussions or negotiations with any third party concerning any Acquisition Proposal, other than the Merger, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, other than the Merger or (iv) enter into any letter of intent or similar agreement or any Contract contemplated by or otherwise related to any Acquisition Proposal, other than the Merger. If the Shareholder receives an unsolicited proposal or offer concerning an Acquisition Proposal, he will notify the Company of such proposal or offer so that the Company may comply with its obligations under the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder is permitted to take any actions otherwise prohibited by this paragraph if such action is related to an Acquisition Proposal and if, and only during such time as and to the extent that, the Company is then permitted under the Merger Agreement to engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person or group of related Persons that has made the Acquisition Proposal, and provided that the Company is in compliance with Section 5.07 of the Merger Agreement. (vii) Dissenters' Rights. The Shareholder agrees not to exercise any dissenters' rights in respect of the Shareholder's Shares that may arise with respect to the Merger. (viii) Further Assurances. From time to time, at Parent's or Purchaser's reasonable request, to the extent not entailing other than de minimis expense, the Shareholder shall without further consideration execute and deliver such additional documents as may be reasonably necessary to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the agreements set forth in Sections 2 and 3(a) of this Agreement; provided, that no such documents shall expand or otherwise alter the obligations of the Shareholder hereunder.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Purchaser and, assuming due and valid execution and delivery of the Shareholder, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Purchaser and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in law or at equity). 4. Recapitalization; Option Exercise. In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Shares (or any class thereof) by reason of any split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or the like, the term "Shares" shall include, without limitation, all such stock dividends and distributions and any shares into which or for which any or all of the Shares (or any class thereof) may be changed or exchanged and, in each case, that are entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company's shareholders as may be appropriate to reflect such event. The term "Shares" shall also include any other or additional shares of Company Common Stock or any other shares of capital stock or equity entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company's shareholders, acquired and owned of record or beneficially by the Shareholder after the date of this Agreement and before the Termination Date, including, without limitation, shares acquired in connection with the exercise of Company Options and Company Stock-Based Awards.

Except as set forth in Section 3(a)(v), neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder is assignable in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, by any party without the express written consent of the other parties hereto and any such attempted assignment shall be void and unenforceable; provided, however, that, in the event of the death or disability involving the appointment of a legal guardian or similar representative of the Shareholder, or of a member of his family or an Affiliate who is an individual to whom the Shareholder made a Transfer of his Shares as permitted by the provisos set forth in Section 3(a)(v), the rights and obligations of the Shareholder or such member of his family or Affiliate, as the case may be, hereunder shall, upon such death or the appointment of such legal guardian or representative, be deemed to have been assigned and delegated to, and shall thereupon inure to the benefit of and be binding upon, the heirs and/or legal representative, or such legal guardian or representative, of the Shareholder, member of his family or Affiliate, as the case may be. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, permitted assignees and, in the case of Parent and Purchaser, their respective successors, and no other person shall acquire or have any rights under or by virtue of this Agreement. (g) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party. (h) No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance. (i) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to be for the benefit of, and shall not be enforceable by, any person or entity who or which is not a party hereto or a permitted assignee thereof. 9 (j) Governing Law.
