Documents”)

which in the case of each of the matters referred to in this clause (ii) could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or materially adversely affect the Company, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the likelihood of such transactions being consummated, and (iii) in favor of any other matter necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related agreements, including, without limitation, any further amendment, waiver or modification of the Charter Documents in connection therewith, which is considered at any such meeting of Shareholders or in such consent, and in connection therewith to execute any documents which are necessary in order to effectuate the foregoing, including, without limitation, the ability for Newco or its nominees to vote such Shares directly.

1.2 Proxy. The Shareholder hereby agrees to deliver to Newco a duly executed proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Proxy”), such Proxy to cover 55,000 of the Shares in respect of which Shareholder is entitled to (i) vote at each meeting of the Shareholders of the Company or at any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof (including, without limitation, each annual or special meeting of the Shareholders or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) in favor of (a) the Merger and the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and all transactions contemplated thereby and/or (b) any other matter necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related agreements, including, without limitation, any further amendment, wavier or modification of the Charter Documents in connection therewith, and (ii) demand that the Secretary or any other appropriate officer of the Company call a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company for the purpose of considering the Merger, the Merger Agreement and all other transactions contemplated thereby. The Shareholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney given by such Shareholder with respect to the Shares. The Shareholder represents that any proxy heretofore given by it in respect of such Shares is not irrevocable. The Proxy shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon any termination of this Agreement.

1.3 No Proxies for or Transfers of Shares. Except as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, the Shareholder hereby agrees that the Shareholder shall not, without the prior written consent of Newco, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of Newco, directly or indirectly, (i) grant any proxies or enter into any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the voting of the Shares or any portion thereof, other than a revocable proxy causing shares held in street name to be voted for the Merger and the transactions to be consummated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, encumber, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including, without limitation, by way of merger, consolidation, distribution, dissolution, liquidation, operation of law or otherwise and, in the case of an individual, by way of testamentary disposition, interspousal disposition pursuant to a domestic relations proceeding or otherwise), or enter into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance, pledge or other disposition of, any of the Shares or any portion thereof (except in connection with the Shareholder’s financing or refinancing transactions), or (iii) otherwise commit any act or enter into any agreement or arrangement with any person or entity limiting or affecting the Shareholder’s legal power, authority or right to vote its Shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder hereby agrees it shall not seek or solicit any such sale,

assignment, transfer, encumbrance, pledge or other disposition or any such contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding (except in connection with the Shareholder’s financing or refinancing transactions). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.3, the Shareholder may sell or otherwise assign, with or without consideration, an unlimited amount of the Shares to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary or to any Person that controls 100% of its outstanding voting equity, provided that each such transferee or assignee, prior to the completion of the sale, transfer or assignment shall have executed and delivered to Newco documents assuming the obligations of the Shareholder under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Shares, such documents to be reasonably satisfactory to Newco. With respect to shares held in street name, at the request of Newco, Shareholder shall take all steps necessary to vote such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall provide Newco written evidence of such action, and/or shall take all steps and provide all documentation necessary for Newco to vote the Shares at the shareholders meeting approving the Merger Agreement.

1.4 Stop Transfer. During the term of this Agreement, the Shareholder shall not request that the Company register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any Shares or any portion thereof. The Company agrees that it shall not recognize or record any transfer of Shares or any portion thereof attempted in violation of this Agreement.
