ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Section 1.1    Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Affiliate” means, as to any Person, any other Person which, directly or indirectly, Controls, or is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, such Person.

“Beneficially Own” means, with respect to any securities, having “beneficial ownership” for purposes of Rule 13d-3 or 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date hereof. Similar terms such as “Beneficial Ownership” and “Beneficial Owner” have the corresponding meanings. For the avoidance of doubt, Mavericks shall not be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of any Rockets Common Stock by virtue of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.

“Control” (including, with its correlative meanings) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of securities or partnership interests or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise.

---

“Covered Rockets Shares” means, with respect to each Stockholder, (a) any Existing Shares Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder and (b) any Rockets Securities of which such Stockholder has direct Beneficial Ownership after the date hereof, in each case during the Voting Period; provided, however, that any Existing Shares that are Transferred as of or after the date hereof (other than a Transfer by a Stockholder to its Affiliate or to another Principal Rockets Stockholder or an Affiliate thereof and, in the case of such Transfer, such Existing Shares shall be deemed Covered Rockets Shares) shall cease to be Covered Rockets Shares.

“Lien” means any lien, claim, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge, deed of trust, security interest, equity or charge of any kind.

“Transfer” means any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, gift, pledge, distribution, hypothecation or other encumbrance or any other disposition, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, whether effected directly or indirectly, or the entry into any contract or understanding with respect to any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, gift, pledge, distribution, hypothecation or other encumbrance or any other disposition, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, whether effected directly or indirectly, including, with respect to any capital stock or interests in capital stock, the entry into any swap or any contract, transaction or series of transactions that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or 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, contract, transaction or series of transactions is to be settled by delivery of Rockets Securities, in cash or otherwise.

Section 1.2    Interpretations. Each capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement has the meaning given to it in the Merger Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms. Any Law defined or referred to herein means such statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor statutes. References in this Agreement to specific Laws or to specific provisions of Laws shall include all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The word “extent” and the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and not simply “if.” Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, when calculating the period of time before which, within which or after which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, (a) the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and (b) if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. All references in this Agreement to a number of days are to such number of calendar days unless Business Days are specified. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

(i)    appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause such Stockholder’s Covered Rockets Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(ii)    vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or if applicable deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent covering, all of such Stockholder’s Covered Rockets Shares:

(1)    in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement;

(2)    in favor of any proposal to adjourn a meeting of the Rockets Stockholders to solicit additional proxies in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and

(3)     against any Rockets Acquisition Proposal.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1 to the contrary, (i) no Stockholder shall be required to vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented) any of its Covered Rockets Shares to amend the Merger Agreement (including any Exhibit thereto) or take any action that could result in the amendment or modification, or a waiver of a provision therein, in any such case, in a manner that alters or changes (in a manner adverse to Rockets) the amount or kind of the consideration to be paid and (ii) each Stockholder shall remain free to vote (or execute consents or proxies with respect to) the Covered Rockets Shares with respect to any matter not covered by this Section 2.1 in any manner such Stockholder deems appropriate, including in connection with the election of directors.

Section 2.2    Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact Mavericks, and any other Person designated by Mavericks in writing (collectively, the “Grantees”), each of them individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the fullest extent of such Stockholder’s rights with respect to the Covered Rockets Shares, effective as of the date hereof and continuing until the earliest to occur of (i) the time at which the Rockets Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained in accordance with applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of Rockets and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Voting Period”), to vote (or execute written consents, if applicable) with respect to the Covered Rockets Shares as required pursuant to Section 2.1, in each case, solely in the event of a failure by such Stockholder to act in accordance with Section 2.1. The proxy granted by such Stockholder under this Agreement shall be irrevocable during the Voting Period and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, provided, that such proxy shall be deemed immediately revoked upon the Transfer of the applicable Covered Rockets Shares, except for any Transfers among the Stockholders or by a Stockholder to an Affiliate thereof. Each Stockholder (a) will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of such proxy and this Section 2.2 and (b) hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by such Stockholder with respect to any Covered Rockets Shares.

Other than as provided in this Section 2.2, no Stockholder shall directly or indirectly grant any Person any proxy (revocable or irrevocable), power of attorney or other authorization with respect to any of such Stockholder’s Covered Rockets Shares. Mavericks may terminate this proxy with respect to any Stockholder at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to such Stockholder.
