Offer (the “Depositary”) (A) a letter of transmittal with respect to his or its Subject
Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (B) a certificate or certificates representing such

Subject Shares and (C) all other documents or
instruments required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer, and/or (ii) instruct such
Stockholder’s broker or such other


 









 







Person that is the holder of record of any Subject Shares

with the terms of the Offer. Each Stockholder shall duly tender to Sub during any Subsequent
Offering Period provided by Sub in accordance with the terms of the Offer, all of the Subject
Shares, if any, which shall have been issued after the expiration of the Offer. Each Stockholder
agrees that once his or its Subject Shares are tendered pursuant to the terms hereof, such
Stockholder will not withdraw any tender of such Subject Shares, unless and until (i) the Offer
shall have been terminated or shall have expired, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement, or (ii) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 2.03
hereof.




          Section 1.02 Voting of Subject Shares(a) . At every meeting of the stockholders of
the Company called for such purpose, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, each
Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, vote his
or its Subject Shares (to the extent that any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are not
purchased in the Offer and provided that the Offer price was not decreased) (i) in favor of the
adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) against (A) any
agreement or arrangement related to any Acquisition Proposal, and (B) any liquidation, dissolution,
recapitalization, extraordinary dividend or other significant corporate reorganization of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) in favor of any other matter necessary for
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement which is considered at any
such meeting of stockholders, and in connection therewith, such Stockholder shall execute any
documents which are necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the foregoing. Each
Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote his or its Subject Shares in his or its
sole discretion and without any other limitation on those matters other than those set forth in
this Section 1.02 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the
Company’s stockholders generally. In the event that any meeting of the stockholders of the Company
is held, such Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date
to, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause his or its Subject Shares (to the extent that any of
such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are not purchased in the Offer) to be counted as present thereat
for purposes of establishing a quorum.




          Section 1.03 No Transfers; No Inconsistent Arrangements. Except as provided hereunder or
under the Merger Agreement, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) transfer (which
term shall include any sale, assignment, gift, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition), or
consent to or permit any such transfer of, any or all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares or any
interest therein (except where the transferee or third party agrees in writing to be bound by the
terms hereof), or create or permit to exist any lien that would prevent such Stockholder from
tendering his or its Subject Shares in accordance with this Agreement or from complying with his or
its other obligations under this Agreement, other than any restrictions imposed by applicable Law
or pursuant to this Agreement, on any such Subject Shares, (ii) enter into any contracts
inconsistent with the terms hereof with respect to any transfer of such Subject Shares or any interest therein, (iii) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power
of attorney or other authorization in or with respect to such Subject Shares relating to the
subject matter hereof, (iv) deposit or permit the deposit of such Subject Shares into a voting
trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Subject Shares, or (v)
take or permit any other

action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the
performance of his or its obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby.




          Section 1.04 Appraisal Rights. Each Stockholder agrees not to exercise any appraisal
rights in respect of his or its Subject Shares which may arise with respect to the Merger.




          Section 1.05 Documentation and Information. Each Stockholder (i) consents to and
authorizes the publication and disclosure by Parent of his or its identity and holding of Subject
Shares, and the nature of his or its commitments, arrangements and understandings under this
Agreement, in any press release, the Offer Documents, or any other disclosure document required in
connection with the Offer, the Merger and any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
and (ii) agrees as promptly as practicable to give to Parent any information reasonably related to
the foregoing that it may reasonably require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents.
Each Stockholder agrees as promptly as practicable to notify Parent of any required corrections
with respect to any written information supplied by such Stockholder specifically for use in any
such disclosure document, if and to the extent such Stockholder becomes aware that any such
information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.




          Section 1.06 Changes to Shares. In the event of any stock dividend or distribution,
or any change to the Shares by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, split-up,
recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or any other similar transaction, the term
“Shares” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to and include the Shares and all such
stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the
Shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in the relevant transaction.




          Section 1.07 Representations and Warranties. Each Stockholder represents and warrants
to Parent and Sub as follows:




     This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and,
assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Sub,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of such Stockholder enforceable against such
Stockholder in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery and performance by such
Stockholder of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not
and will not conflict with, or result in the breach or termination of or constitute a default (with
or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both) under, any provision of any contract
binding upon such Stockholder or any of its Affiliates, except for any such conflicts,
breaches, terminations and defaults which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be
reasonably expected to prevent, delay or impair the consummation by such Stockholder of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Stockholder has, and on the date Sub becomes
obligated to accept for payment, purchase and pay for such Stockholders’ Shares such Stockholder
will have, good and valid title to the Subject Shares, free and clear of any liens, proxies, voting
trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements. There are no options or rights to acquire,
or any agreements to which such Stockholder is a party relating to, the Subject

Shares, other than
this Agreement. As of the date hereof, the Shares Beneficially Owned by each Stockholder represent
all of the Shares beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d 3 under the Exchange Act) by
such Stockholder.

this Agreement.

condition herein may be waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof only by a
written instrument signed by the party expressly granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure
to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not
operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.



          Section 2.05 Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement
shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the transactions

to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.




          Section 2.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in

          Section 2.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of
which shall together be considered one and the same agreement.




          Section 2.09 Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby (a) expressly and irrevocably

in the State of Delaware and (d) agrees that each of the other parties shall have the right to
bring any action or proceeding for enforcement of a judgment entered by the


6









 







Delaware Court of
Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware and any Federal court sitting in the State of
Delaware. Each of Parent, Sub and each Stockholder agrees that a final judgment in any action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by Law.




          Section 2.10 Service of Process. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process

invalidated.




          Section 2.13

Agreement in any action instituted in accordance with Section 2.09.




          Section 2.14 Stockholder Capacity. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (or shall require any Stockholder to attempt to) affect
or limit any Stockholder who is a director or officer of the Company from acting in such capacity

Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company).

	1	 	This amount includes 65,000 options which will not be
exercised. Since these options will not be exercised, the underlying Shares
will not be tendered in the Offer. This amount also includes 40,000 shares of
restricted stock that would only vest at the Merger. For this reason, they,
too, will not be tendered in the Offer.
