2.Irrevocable Proxy.  From the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Expiration Date, without limiting the obligations of the Shareholder under this Agreement, the Shareholder hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact the officers of Parent set forth on Annex A hereto, and any individual who shall hereafter succeed to any such officer of Parent, and any other Person designated in writing by Parent (collectively, the “Proxy Holders”), each of them individually, with full power of substitution, to vote the Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1 above; provided that the proxy and the  power of attorney granted by the Shareholder shall be effective if, and only if, the Shareholder has not delivered to the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of an applicable meeting of the shareholders of the Company (or, as applicable, any adjournments or postponements thereof), a duly executed proxy card voting the Shareholder’s Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1 above and has not revoked such duly executed proxy card.  This proxy is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and the Shareholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Shareholder with respect to the Subject Shares.  This proxy and the power of attorney is given by the Shareholder in connection with, and in consideration of, the execution of the Merger Agreement by Parent and to secure the performance of the duties of the Shareholder under this Agreement.
