3
(d) Each Stockholder hereby agrees that any agreements among the
Stockholders or any of them which could be construed to limit their respective
rights to enter into this Agreement or perform hereunder are amended to the full
extent necessary to assure that entering into this Agreement and performance
hereunder are permitted under each such agreement without breach thereof.
SECTION 1.02. Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to

otherwise to utilize such voting power in the manner contemplated by Section
1.01 as Purchaser or its proxy or substitute shall, in Purchaser's sole
discretion, deem proper with respect to such Stockholder's Subject Shares. The
proxy granted by such Stockholder pursuant to this Article 1 is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable and is granted in consideration of Parent and
Purchaser entering into this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and incurring
certain related fees and expenses. Each Stockholder shall perform such further
acts and execute such further documents as may be required to vest in Purchaser
the sole power to vote such Stockholder's Subject Shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the proxy granted by each Stockholder shall be revoked upon
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Immediately
after the Class B Conversion has occurred and prior to the expiration of the
Offer, subject to Section 1.01, each Stockholder shall deliver to the depositary
designated in the Offer (i) a letter of transmittal with respect to its Subject
Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (ii) certificates representing

delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer.

8

invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions and
covenants of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
SECTION 4.07. Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement
are for convenience of reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words "include,"
"includes," or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to
be followed by the words "without limitation." Other than Section 1.01(d), this
Agreement is an agreement between each of the Stockholders, on the one hand, and
the Parent and Purchaser, on the other hand, and is not an agreement among the
Stockholders.
SECTION 4.08. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that

Stockholder to take any action, in his or her capacity as an officer or director
of the Company including to disclose information acquired solely in his or her
capacity as an officer or director, (ii) if the event of default referred to in
Exhibit A occurs and the lenders require proxies or otherwise exercise their
rights to exercise voting powers over the Pledged Shares, or sell the Pledged
Shares, and as a result the Stockholders owning the Pledged Shares are unable to
comply with the obligations and covenants as set forth in Article 1 of this
Agreement, such noncompliance shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement
and (iii) pursuant to Section 3 of the Family Agreement, certain of the

and such sale shall not constitute a breach of any of the terms of this
Agreement; provided that (A) such sale takes place immediately prior to the

converted into Company Common Stock and (C) such sale is otherwise in accordance
with the terms and conditions of Section 3 of the Family Agreement.

of the Stockholders hereunder are subject to there not having been any change,
by
9
amendment or waiver, by any party to the Merger Agreement to the material terms
of the Merger Agreement in a manner materially adverse to the Stockholders

Subject Shares. For purposes of this Section 4.10(a), each of the following
changes, by amendment or waiver (as applicable), in the following terms and
conditions of the Offer which require the Company's consent shall, without

waiver by Purchaser of the Minimum Condition; (B) a change in the Outside Date;
(C) a change which decreases the price per Share payable in the Offer; (D) a
change to the form of consideration payable in the Offer (other than by adding
consideration); (E) a reduction in the maximum number of Shares to be purchased
in the Offer and (F) an imposition of any condition to the Offer in addition to
those set forth in the Merger Agreement.
(b) Parent and Purchaser hereby agree to pay for all shares tendered by
the Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
SECTION 4.11. Performance by Parent and Purchaser. Whenever this
Agreement requires Parent or Purchaser to take any action, such requirement
shall be deemed to include an undertaking of ▇▇▇▇ Elsevier plc to cause Parent
and Purchaser, as applicable, to take such action.
