affect the rights or privileges of such Shareholder relative to other holders of Parent Common Stock, (iii) to approve any merger agreement or transaction involving a Parent Change of Control (unless unanimously approved by all directors,
including Wende Kotouc), or (iv) any action that would reasonably be expected to materially increase such Shareholder’s liability or obligations, reduce its economic rights, or impose additional restrictions on transferability of its
shares beyond those expressly agreed herein.

for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, that no Shareholder shall be obligated to attend any meeting in person if it is able to be represented by proxy thereat.
