2. Terms of Voting Trust.
(a) Effectiveness of Voting Trust. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, a voting trust as described in this Section 2 shall become operative and in effect as of the Agreement Date with respect to all of the Holder’s Subject Shares, whether now or hereafter outstanding.
(b) Powers. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Voting Trustee is hereby vested with all of the rights, powers and privileges of every kind and character of an owner of the Subject Shares, including: (a) the right to vote the same, either in person or by proxy, or act by written consent, for every purpose; (b) the right to transfer all or any part of the Subject Shares in the Voting Trustee’s name; and (c) the right to take such other actions with respect to the Subject Shares in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) Appointment and Replacement of Voting Trustee.

Any subsequent or successor Voting Trustee shall be a person or entity appointed by the Board or a committee of the Board. If the subsequent or successor Voting Trustee is an independent member of the Board, then the consent of the Company shall not be required for the appointment. If the subsequent or successor Voting Trustee is not an independent member of the Board, then such appointment shall be subject to prior written consent from the Company. The person or entity so appointed as Voting Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Holder a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and, upon executing and delivering such counterpart signature page to the Company and the Holder, such person or entity shall become a party to this Agreement as the Voting Trustee hereunder and will be deemed to have accepted appointment as the Voting Trustee and agreed to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. A Voting Trustee may resign at any time by delivering his, her or its resignation as the Voting Trustee to the Holder and the Company in writing or by delivering written resignation to the Company of his or her position as a director of the Company. Any such resignation shall be effective immediately without any acceptance thereof. The Board (or any committee of the Board) may also remove and replace a Voting Trustee or fill a vacancy in the position of the Voting Trustee at its sole discretion, and the term “Voting Trustee” as used herein shall then refer to each such replacement or successor Voting Trustee when such person or entity has executed and delivered a counterpart signature page to this Agreement to the Company. Following his, her or its resignation, removal or replacement as Voting Trustee hereunder, such resigning, removed or replaced Voting Trustee (“Former Voting Trustee”) will immediately cease to be Voting Trustee hereunder or to have any ongoing duties or obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) each Former Voting Trustee shall continue to be obligated to execute and deliver to the Company, within three (3) business days after the Company’s request, such number of Stock Powers executed in blank with respect to any and all Subject Shares as the Company may reasonably require in order to enable it to transfer and register record title to Subject Shares to any Voting Trustee and/or any transferee, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and (ii) each Former Voting Trustee will promptly return to the new Voting Trustee that may for any reason be in his, her, or its possession or control.
(d) Certificates. Promptly following the Agreement Date, the Company shall (i) cancel the stock certificates representing the Subject Shares and (ii) issue to the Voting Trustee one or
2
more stock certificates of the Company representing the Subject Shares and registered in the name of the Voting Trustee as trustee under this Agreement (the “Trustee Stock Certificates”). Following delivery of the Trustee Stock Certificates to the Voting Trustee, the Voting Trustee shall issue and deliver to the Holder one or more Voting Trust Certificates (the “Voting Trust Certificates”) representing the Holder’s interest in the Subject Shares in substantially the form of the Voting Trust Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B and Exhibit B-1. The Company may treat the Voting Trustee as the absolute owner of the beneficial ownership interest in the Subject Shares for all purposes whatsoever and accordingly shall not be required to recognize any legal, equitable or other claim or interest in such Voting Trust Certificate on the part of any other person, whether or not it or they shall have express or other notice thereof. The Secretary of the Company may, on behalf of the Voting Trustee, execute any and all Voting Trust Certificates issued hereunder. The Voting Trust Certificates to be issued and delivered by the Voting Trustee under this Agreement in respect of the Subject Shares shall be affixed with the following legend:

Upon a change in the Voting Trustee pursuant to Section 2(c) above, the Company and the Former Voting Trustee in whose name any certificates for Subject Shares or any Voting Trust Certificate have been issued shall take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to cancel and reissue the appropriate Trustee Stock Certificates issued in such Former Voting Trustee’s name (with respect to such Former Voting Trustee such actions shall include executing and delivering Stock Powers in blank to the Company with respect to such Trustee Stock Certificates and (if the Company so desires) the Voting Trust Certificates, as necessary to reflect the change in Voting Trustee); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to cancel and reissue any outstanding Voting Trust Certificate, and any Voting Trust Certificate previously issued and not cancelled shall continue to be a valid Voting Trust Certificate hereunder notwithstanding any change in the identity of the Voting Trustee. If a Voting Trust Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Voting Trustee, in his, her or its discretion, may cause to be issued a duplicate of such Voting Trust Certificate to the registered holder of the lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Voting Trust Certificate upon receipt of: (i) evidence of such fact reasonably satisfactory to the Voting Trustee; (ii) if requested by the Voting Trustee, an agreement providing for indemnification of the Voting Trustee (or any predecessor or successor Voting Trustee) by such registered holder on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Voting Trustee; (iii) the existing Voting Trust Certificate, if mutilated; and (iv) the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Voting Trustee in connection with the issuance of a new Voting Trust Certificate.
(e) Voting Rights; Beneficial Ownership. During the time period following the Agreement Date and ending upon termination of this Agreement, and subject to any voting restrictions imposed by any agreement by which the Holder and the Company are bound at the time in question, the Voting Trustee shall have the right to vote all of the Subject Shares represented by the Trustee Stock Certificates and/or deliver consents with respect to all of the Subject Shares represented by the Trustee Stock Certificates as to any and all matters relating to the business or affairs of the Company that are submitted to a vote and/or written consent of the Company’s stockholders, including, without limitation, approval of any amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, and including approval of any merger, consolidation or other transaction to which the Company become a party (the “Voting Rights”); provided, that the Voting Trustee shall exercise the Voting Rights in accordance with the vote or consent of a majority of holders of the Company’s capital stock.

The Voting Trustee shall have no rights with respect to any Subject Shares other than the right to exercise the Voting Rights in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, without limitation, the Voting Trustee may not (and the Company will not permit the Voting Trustee to) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Subject Shares, any rights or interests therein or any Voting Rights related thereto, except that (i) the Voting Trustee (or Former Voting Trustee) may act so as to transfer record title to Subject Shares to the then-current Voting Trustee and (ii) the Voting Trustee shall act to effect any such transfers or other transactions permitted by the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement or required by any agreement to which the Holder and the Company are parties at the time in question (“Permitted Transfers”) and the Company will permit all such Permitted Transfers. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Voting Trustee shall be treated by the Company as the absolute owner and holder of all beneficial interests in the Subject Shares represented by such Voting Trust Certificate.
(f) Liability of Voting Trustee; Indemnity. The duties and responsibilities of the Voting Trustee shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and any amendment hereto which has been executed by the Voting Trustee, and the Voting Trustee shall not be obligated to recognize any other agreement whether or not they have knowledge thereof. The Voting Trustee assumes no responsibility in respect of any action taken in accordance with this Agreement unless such action involves Malfeasance (as defined below) on the part of the Voting Trustee, and the Voting Trustee shall not incur any responsibility or liability by reason of any error of law or anything done or suffered or omitted, except for the Voting Trustee’s Malfeasance (as defined below). No person or entity who acts as Voting Trustee hereunder shall have any liability for any act or omission of any predecessor or successor Voting Trustee under this Agreement. The Voting Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form, execution, validity or genuineness of certificates representing the Subject Shares or any documents or of any endorsement thereon or for any lack of endorsement thereon or for any description therein, nor shall the Voting Trustee be responsible or liable in any respect on the account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any such certificates or documents or endorsement on this Agreement (the responsibility of which shall be that of the Company) except for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Voting Trustee. The Company shall indemnify the Voting Trustee against all expenses, claims, and liabilities incurred in connection with or arising out of this Agreement for the discharge of the Voting Trustee’s rights and obligations hereunder to the full extent permitted by law, except that the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify the Voting Trustee for any expenses, claims or liabilities arising from the Voting Trustee’s Malfeasance (as defined below). The Company will at all times undertake, assume full responsibility for, and pay all costs and expenses of any suit or litigation of any character, including any proceedings before any governmental agency, with respect to the Subject Shares or this Agreement, and if the Voting Trustee shall be made a party thereto the Company will pay all costs and expenses, including counsel fees, to which the Voting Trustee may be subject by reason thereof unless such Voting Trustee is held liable thereunder for Malfeasance. The Voting Trustee will indemnify the Holder and the Company for any expenses, claims or liabilities they may incur which arise out of or result from the Voting Trustee’s Malfeasance (as defined below). As defined herein, “Malfeasance” means an act of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Trustee’s duties under this Agreement where such gross negligence or willful misconduct has resulted in substantial and material damage to the Holder or the Company. The Voting Trustee may, at his or her own expense, consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted or suffered by the Voting Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.
(g) Dividends and Distributions. The Voting Trustee shall receive and distribute to the registered holders of Voting Trust Certificates any dividends or distributions paid in respect of the
4
Subject Shares represented by such Voting Trust Certificates in cash or property (other than voting securities of the Company, which shall be dealt with as provided below in this paragraph). The Company shall deliver and register in the Voting Trustee’s name, and the Voting Trustee shall receive and hold, subject to the terms of this Agreement, any voting securities of the Company paid or issued as a dividend or distribution in respect of the Trustee Stock Certificates or issued in respect of the Trustee Stock Certificates by reason of any capital reorganization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or the like and the Voting Trustee shall (subject to the terms of this Agreement) be entitled to exercise Voting Rights with respect to such voting securities in the same manner as the Voting Trustee is entitled to exercise Voting Rights and transfers with respect to Subject Shares as provided in Section 2(e) above and Section 3 below, respectively; and the Voting Trustee shall issue and deliver additional Voting Trust Certificates to the holders of the Voting Trust Certificates with respect to such voting securities. In lieu of receiving cash dividends upon the Trustee Stock Certificates and paying the same to the holders of Voting Trust Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Voting Trustee may instruct the Company in writing to pay such dividends directly to the holders of the Voting Trust Certificates. Upon receipt of such written instructions, the Company shall pay such dividends directly to the holders of the Voting Trust Certificates.
(h) Expenses. All expenses paid or incurred by the Voting Trustee in the administration of the trust hereunder (including without limitation all counsel and advisers’ and agents’ fees, all taxes or other governmental charges involved in the transfer or issuance of any stock or Voting Trust Certificates or in respect of the ownership of the Subject Shares held by them as Voting Trustee or in respect of any dividends, distributions or rights in respect of such stock, and the expenses of preparing all Voting Trust Certificates) shall be borne by the Company.
3. Transfer of Interests.
(a)Transfers. Subject to any restrictions, refusal rights, co-sale rights and other limitations and conditions imposed by any agreement to which the Holder and the Company are parties, upon request by the Holder, the Voting Trustee may from time to time sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Subject Shares or any interest therein or any interest in any Voting Trust Certificate(s) to one or more transferee(s), in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such procedures as the Voting Trustee or the Board may establish from time to time provided that (i) such transferee is approved in advance by the Board or (ii) such transfer is made pursuant to an arms’ length transaction in the public market. Upon the surrender of any Voting Trust Certificate for transfer, and the execution and delivery by the proposed transferee of two (2) blank Stock Powers, the Voting Trustee and the Company shall arrange for (x) the cancellation of the relevant Voting Trust Certificate, (y) if applicable, the issuance of a new Voting Trust Certificate representing the underlying Subject Shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Holder has transferred its interest to the transferee(s), and (z) if applicable, the issuance of a new Voting Trust Certificate representing any remaining underlying Subject Shares of Common Stock in the name of the Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Holder agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge or hypothecate a Voting Trust Certificate unless the Company and the Voting Trustee shall be reasonably satisfied that such sale or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws.
(b) Company Agreement Regarding Transfers. As provided in Section 2(d), the Voting Trustee may not, and the Company will not permit the Voting Trustee to, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Subject Shares, any rights or interests therein or any Voting Rights related thereto, unless (i) such sale, assignment or transfer is permitted by the provisions of this Section or required by any agreement to which the Holder and the Company are parties at the time in question or (ii) such actions as are provided for in this Agreement to transfer record title to Subject Shares to a successor Voting Trustee.
5

The Holder and the Voting Trustee shall be furnished with a conformed copy of this Agreement.
7. Execution; Amendments. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Except as otherwise provided, any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the consent of (a) the Company, (b) the then-serving Voting Trustee, and (c) the Holder.
8. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent of the parties hereto. If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Agreement.
9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all the exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes any and all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof.
6
10. Enforcement. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that any breach by any of them of this Agreement shall cause the other parties hereto irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensable by money damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party of any provision of this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to the remedies of specific performance, injunction or other preliminary or equitable relief, in addition to such other rights remedies as may be available to it for any such breach or threatened breach, including but not limited to the recovery of money damages.
11. Third Parties. Except for rights conferred upon the Voting Trustee, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
