        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt

        "Permitted
Liens" shall mean any (i) Liens relating to any Indebtedness, (ii) Liens that result from any statutory or other Liens for Taxes or

        "Permitted
Transfer" shall mean, (i) any Transfer to an Affiliate of Shareholder, so long as such Affiliate, in connection with such Transfer,

transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of such capital stock or interest in capital stock, whether any such swap, agreement, transaction or
series of transactions is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash or otherwise, provided, that any transaction described in these clauses (i) or
(ii) shall not constitute a Transfer so long as (a) such transaction does not require a filing under the Exchange Act or any other public disclosure of such transaction and
(b) such transaction does not in any way limit the ability of Shareholder to vote its Subject Shares. 

        2.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Shareholder.    Shareholder hereby
represents and warrants to Target, as of the date of this Agreement, as follows:

Agreement. 

        2.4    No Conflict; Consents.    

        (a)   The

Shareholder with any provisions hereof do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate in any material respects any Laws applicable to Shareholder or the Subject Shares or (ii) result
in any material breach of or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the Subject Shares pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license,
permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder or the Subject Shares are bound.

Shareholder's
Subject Shares are not, with respect to the voting of, subject to any other agreement, including, any voting agreement, stockholders agreement, irrevocable proxy or voting trust. 

        (b)   Other
than the disclosure and filing of this Agreement with the SEC, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any
Governmental Entity or any other Person, is required by Shareholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated
hereby. 

        2.5    Absence of Litigation.    There is no Action pending against, or, to the knowledge
of Shareholder, threatened against or affecting, Shareholder or any of its properties or assets (including the Subject Shares) at law or in equity that would reasonably be expected to materially
impair or delay the ability of Shareholder to perform Shareholder's obligations hereunder. 

        2.6    Acknowledgement.    Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Target is
entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon Shareholder's execution of this Agreement. 

        3.    Agreement to Retain Subject Shares.    

        3.1    Transfer and Encumbrance of Subject Shares.    Other than a Permitted Transfer,
from and after the date hereof and until the Expiration Time, Shareholder shall not (i) Transfer any of the Subject Shares, (ii) deposit any Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter
into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Subject Shares; (iii) take any action that would cause any representation or warranty of Shareholder contained herein to become
untrue or incorrect, in each case in any material respect, or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing or disabling Shareholder from performing its obligations under this
Agreement, or (iv) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions. If any involuntary Transfer of any Subject Shares shall occur, the transferee shall take and hold such Subject Shares
subject to terms of this Agreement. 

        3.2    Additional Purchases.    Any Acquirer Common Shares that Shareholder purchases or
otherwise acquires (including, without limitation, by way of stock-split, stock dividend, conversion of securities or distribution or similar event) after the execution of this Agreement and prior to
the Expiration Time shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Subject Shares. 

        3.3    Unpermitted Transfers.    Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any of the Subject
Shares or other action in violation of Section 3.1 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any
other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Shareholder shall not be deemed to be in breach of any of its obligation hereunder with which it is unable to comply as a result of any Subject
Shares subject to any Permitted Lien becoming subject to foreclosure, forfeiture or other similar proceedings. 

        4.    Agreement to Vote and Approve.    

        4.1    Subject Shares.    Subject to the terms hereof, from and after the date hereof and
until the Expiration Time, at every meeting of the shareholders of the Acquirer however called with respect to any of the following matters, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof,
Shareholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to (including via proxy), vote or cause to be voted, the Subject Shares: (i) in favor of the issuance of
Acquirer Common Shares in the Merger on the terms
set forth in the Merger Agreement, (ii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn a meeting of the shareholders of the Acquirer to solicit additional proxies in favor of the approval of the issuance
of the Acquirer Common Shares in connection with the Merger, and (iii) against (a) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result 

3

any condition to the consummation of the Merger set forth in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled and (b) any action which could reasonably be expected to impede
or materially delay consummation of the Transactions. 

        4.2    Irrevocable Proxy.    By execution of this Agreement, Shareholder does hereby
appoint and constitute Target, and any one or more individuals designated by Target, and each of them individually, until the Expiration Time (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked),
with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as such Shareholder's true and lawful attorneys-in-fact and proxies, to the fullest extent of such Shareholder's rights with respect to the Subject
Shares, to vote each of the Subject Shares solely with respect to the matters set forth in Section 4.1 hereof; provided,
however, the foregoing shall only be effective if such Shareholder fails to be counted as present, to consent or to vote such Shareholder's Subject Shares, as applicable,
in accordance with Section 4.1 above. Shareholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest hereafter until the Expiration Time for all
purposes, including without limitation Section 2-507(d) of the MGCL, and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by such Shareholder with respect to the Subject Shares. Shareholder hereby
ratifies and confirms all actions that the proxies appointed hereunder may lawfully do or cause to be done in accordance with this Agreement. The proxy granted by Shareholder pursuant to this Section
is granted in order to secure Shareholder's performance under this Agreement and also in consideration of Target entering into the Merger Agreement. 

        5.    Ownership Interest.    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest
in Target, the Acquirer or any other Person any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to, or pecuniary interest in, any of the Subject Shares. All rights, ownership
and economic benefits of and relating to, and pecuniary interest in, the Subject Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Shareholder, and neither Target, the Acquirer nor any other Person shall
have any power or authority to direct Shareholder in the voting or disposition of any of the Subject Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. 

        6.    Further Assurances.    From time to time, at the request of Target and without
further consideration, Shareholder shall take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Target or the Acquirer to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
