ARTICLE I.



TRANSFER AND VOTING OF SHARES


 


1.1.                              Voting Agreement.  Each Stockholder hereby agrees that from the
date hereof until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 5.13 hereof (the “Term”), at any meeting of the
stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by written
consent of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder shall vote the
Shares (A) in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement (as amended from time
to time) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and any
actions required in furtherance thereof and (B) against any Takeover
Proposal and any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would result
in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other
obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of such
Stockholder under this Agreement, and (C) against any other action or proposal
involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is intended, or could
reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone,
frustrate, nullify or adversely affect any provision of the Merger Agreement,
this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by
the Merger


 

















 


Agreement or
this Agreement.  Any such vote shall be
cast or consent shall be given in accordance with such procedures relating
thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining
that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote
or consent.  Each Stockholder agrees not
to enter into any agreement or commitment the effect of which would not be in
accordance or inconsistent with the provisions and agreements contained in this
Agreement.


 


1.2.                              Proxy.


 


(a)                                  Each
Stockholder, by this Agreement, with respect to its Shares, does hereby
constitute and appoint Parent, or any nominee of Parent, with full power of
substitution, at any time during the Term, as its true and lawful attorney and
proxy (its “Proxy”), for and in its name, place and stead, to vote, or
cause to be voted, each of such Shares as its Proxy, at every annual, special
or other meeting, including any adjournments or postponements thereof, of the
stockholders of the Company for the purpose of considering any matter referred
to in Section 1.1 (including the right to sign its name (as stockholder)
to any consent, certificate or other document relating to the Company that the
law of the State of Delaware may permit or require).


 


(b)                                 THIS
POWER OF ATTORNEY IS IRREVOCABLE, IS GRANTED IN CONSIDERATION OF PARENT AND
MERGER SUB ENTERING INTO THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST SUFFICIENT IN LAW TO SUPPORT AN
IRREVOCABLE POWER.  This appointment shall
revoke all prior powers of attorney and proxies appointed by any Stockholder at
any time with respect to the Shares and no subsequent powers of attorney or
proxies will be appointed by such Stockholder, or be effective, with respect
thereto during the term of this Agreement. 
Except as otherwise provided for herein, each Stockholder hereby
(A) ratifies and confirms all that the proxies appointed hereunder may
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof and (B) affirms that such
irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with
the provisions of Section 212(e) of the DGCL.


 


ARTICLE II.


 


REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS


 


Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and
warrants to Parent as follows:


 


2.1.                              Due Organization and Authorization.  If such Stockholder is a corporation or
partnership, (A) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of its organization or formation and has all requisite power to
execute and deliver this Agreement, to appoint Parent as its Proxy, to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to carry out its
obligations hereunder and (B) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
appointment of Parent as such Stockholder’s Proxy and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of such Stockholder. 
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of
such Stockholder and, assuming its due authorization, execution and delivery by
Parent, constitutes a


 


2

















 


legal, valid
and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such
Stockholder in accordance with its terms.


 


2.2.                              No Conflicts, Required Filings and Consents.


 


(a)                                  The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the
performance of such Agreement by such Stockholder will not, (A) conflict with,
contravene or violate any law, regulation, court order, judgment or decree
applicable to such Stockholder or by which such Stockholder or any of such
Stockholder’s property is bound or affected, (B) in the case of any partnership
or corporation, violate or conflict with its organizational documents or (C)
require any consent under or result in any violation or breach of or constitute
a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become

acceleration of, or result in the creation of a lien or Encumbrance (as
hereinafter defined) on any of the property or assets of such Stockholder,
including the Shares, pursuant to any contract, instrument, permit, license,
franchise or understanding to which such Stockholder is a party or by which
such Stockholder or such Stockholder’s property is bound or affected, except
for any conflicts, violations, breaches or defaults, terminations,
cancellations or rights of terminations or cancellation, which, assuming the
exercise of any rights of termination or cancellation, for any such breaches,
defaults or other occurrences that would not prevent or delay the performance
by such Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement.


 


(b)                                 The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the
performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder will not, require any waiver,
consent, approval or authorization of any Governmental Entity, except for (A)
any information filings required, if any, under Sections 13 and 16 of the
Exchange Act and (B) termination of any waiting period applicable under any
Antitrust Law.


 


2.3.                              Title to Shares.  Each Stockholder is the sole, record and beneficial owner of its
Shares, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, mortgage,
charge, claim, equity, option, proxy, voting restriction, right of first
refusal, limitation on disposition, adverse claim of ownership or use or
encumbrance of any kind (“Encumbrances”), except as may arise pursuant
to this Agreement.  Each Stockholder has
sole right and power to vote or to dispose its Shares, without any limitations,
qualifications or restrictions except for restrictions on transfer under the
Securities Act.  The shares listed on Schedule I
constitute all of the Shares of each Stockholder and, except as set forth in Schedule I,
such Stockholder does not own or hold (beneficially or of record) (A) any
additional shares, or any options to purchase or right to acquire any
additional shares, of capital stock or other securities issued by the Company,
or any interest therein, or (B) any voting rights with respect to any shares of
capital stock or other securities of the Company.   The Shares do not constitute community property or otherwise
need spousal approval in order for this Agreement to be a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Stockholder.

of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
Parent.  This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Parent and, assuming its due authorization, execution
and delivery by each Stockholder, constitutes a legal, valid and binding

ARTICLE IV.


 


COVENANTS
OF STOCKHOLDERS


 


4.1.                              Non-Solicitation.  Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that
in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company, it shall direct and use
reasonable efforts to cause its partners, officers, directors, representatives
and agents (“Representatives”) to immediately cease any discussions or
negotiations with any Third Party that may be ongoing with respect to a
Takeover Proposal.  Each Stockholder
covenants and agrees that in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company it
shall not, nor shall it permit or authorize any of its Representatives to,
directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries
or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or may reasonably be expected
to lead to, any Takeover Proposal or (B) participate in any discussions or
negotiations regarding any Takeover Proposal.


 


4.2.                              Notice. 
Each Stockholder will promptly advise Parent orally or in writing of any
request for information or of any Takeover Proposal received by such
Stockholder (in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company) and the material
terms and conditions of such request or Takeover Proposal, provided, however,
that any notification by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
to Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement regarding the same request for
information or Takeover Proposal shall satisfy the Stockholders’ obligations
under this Section 4.2.


 


4.3.                              No Disposition or Encumbrance of Shares and Options.  Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees
that, during the Term, it shall not, and shall not offer or agree to, sell,
transfer, tender, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or create or
permit to exist any Encumbrance on, the Shares owned by such Stockholder during
the Term.


 


4.4.                              Waiver of Appraisal Rights.  Each Stockholder hereby waives any rights of
appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger under Section 262 of the
DGCL.


 


4.5.                              Further Assurances.  Each Stockholder shall perform such further
acts and execute such further documents and instruments as may reasonably be
required to vest in Parent the power to carry out and give effect to the
provisions of this Agreement.  Each
Stockholder shall not, nor shall such Stockholder act in concert with any
Person to, make or in any manner participate in, directly or indirectly, a
“solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the Exchange Act) or
powers of attorney or similar rights to vote, or seek to advise or influence
any Person with respect to the voting of, the Shares or any other shares of
capital stock of the Company in connection with any vote or other action on any
matter, other than to recommend


 


4

















 


that
stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the Merger and the Merger
Agreement and otherwise as expressly provided by Section 1 of this
Agreement.  Other than as provided by
Section 1 of this Agreement, each Stockholder shall not, nor shall such Stockholder
act in concert with any Person to, (A) deposit the Shares in a voting trust or
subject any of the Shares to any contract, agreement, option, arrangement or
understanding with any Person with respect to the voting of such Shares or (B)
grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Shares.   Each Stockholder shall not issue any press
release or make any other public statement with respect to the Merger Agreement
or this Agreement or the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of Parent, except as may be
required by any applicable law.  Each
Stockholder hereby gives any consents or waivers that are reasonably required
for the consummation of the Merger under the terms of any agreement to which
such Stockholder is a party or pursuant to any rights such Stockholder may have
in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company.  Such Stockholder hereby permits the Company to publish and
disclose in the Proxy Statement such Stockholder’s identity and ownership of
the Shares and the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and
understandings under this Agreement.


 


4.6.                              Release. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.8 of the
Merger Agreement, each Stockholder on behalf of himself or itself and his or
its successors, assigns and Affiliates, with respect to each and every Claim
that such Stockholder (or any of such Persons) may have had prior to, or may at
or following the Effective Time have, against any of the Releasees (A)
effective as of the Effective Time, irrevocably, unconditionally and completely
releases, acquits and forever discharges each of the Releasees from any such
Claim, and irrevocably, unconditionally and completely waives and relinquishes
such Claim and (B) effective as of the date hereof, covenants not to sue or
make any kind of demand or provide any kind of notice or undertaking with
respect to any such Claim.  “Releasees”
means (A) Parent; (B) the Company; (C) each Subsidiary of the Company, (D) each
Affiliate of Parent and, after the Effective Time, of the Company; and (E) the
successors, assigns and past, present and future directors, officers, agents,
attorneys and representatives of the respective entities identified or
otherwise referred to in clauses (A) through (D) of this definition.  “Claim” means any dispute, claim,
suit, right, damages, judgments, expenses, affirmative defenses, actions and
causes of action of every kind and nature, in law, equity or otherwise, that
relates to the matters set forth on Schedule II, whether brought
pursuant to common law, statute, agreement, any insurance policy held by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or
similar organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the
DGCL or otherwise.  Each Stockholder
acknowledges that the releases set forth in this Section 4.6 have provided
a material inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger
Agreement and without such releases Parent would not have been willing to enter
into the Merger Agreement, which agreement provides to the Stockholders
substantially benefit and accordingly each Stockholder willingly grants this
release in consideration therefor and for other good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.

written consent of the other parties. 
Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.  Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the
parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

nor any of its Representatives who is an officer or member of the Board shall
be deemed to have made any agreement or understanding in this Agreement,
including but not limited to those agreements set forth in Sections 4.1 and
4.2, in his capacity as such officer or member of the Board.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, except for the provisions set forth in Section 4.6, nothing in

as an officer or member of the Board, including without limitation any actions

provision set forth in Section 4.6 shall survive termination upon the
Effective Time and the provisions of this Article V hereof shall survive

out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party hereto (a)
certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has
represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of
any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b)
acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter
into this Agreement, by, among other things, the mutual waiver and
certifications in this Section 5.15.


 


5.16.                        Jurisdiction.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not
attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request
for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action
relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement in any

court other
than a state or federal court located in the State of Delaware and (iv)
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action
or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.  Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably consents to the service of any and all legal process, summonses,
notices and other documents which may be served in any suit, action or
proceeding referred to in Section 5.16, which service may be made in any
manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 5.4, provided that
nothing in this Section 5.16 shall affect the right of any party to serve
any such legal process, summons, notice or other document in any other manner
permitted by law.
