In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, 22NW entered into a voting agreement (the "Voting Agreement") with Parent pursuant to which 22NW has agreed, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, to be represented (in person or by proxy) at each stockholder meeting and to vote the Shares beneficially owned by it in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, until the Expiration Time, 22NW has agreed not to transfer or cause or permit the transfer of any of its Shares, other than with the prior written consent of Parent or otherwise in accordance with the Voting Agreement.
