Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as promptly as reasonably practicable after, but in no event later than (i) ten (10) Business Days after, the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer with respect to any Shares acquired prior to such tenth (10th) Business Day and (ii) within two (2) Business Days of acquisition of any other Shares, Stockholder shall tender such Shares pursuant to the terms of the Offer.

From and after the date hereof and until the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2, Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote such Stockholder’s Shares in such Stockholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those set forth in this Section 1(c) that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s shareholders generally.

2.          Termination Date. As used in this Agreement, the term “Termination Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be validly terminated, (c) an amendment of the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of Stockholder, in a manner that negatively or adversely affects the Offer or that decreases the amount, or changes the form, of consideration payable to any stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (d) the mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate this Agreement, (e) any material breach of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub or (f) the Board or any committee thereof approves, recommends, encourages or supports an alternative transaction.

3.          Additional Purchases. The Stockholder agrees that any Shares of the Company (and any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for Shares) that the Stockholder purchases or with respect to which the Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date, including, without limitation, by means of any conversion of convertible shares, the exercise of a Company Stock Option or the vesting or settlement of a Company Restricted Stock Unit (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares as of the date hereof and the representation and warranties in Section 5 below shall be true and correct as of the date that beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of such New Shares is acquired.

4.           Agreement to Retain Shares and Other Covenants.

(a)        From and after the date hereof until the Termination Date, except as otherwise provided herein (including pursuant to Section 1 or Section 7) or in the Merger Agreement, Stockholder shall not, and Stockholder shall not direct its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly: (i) voluntarily transfer, assign, sell (including short sell), gift-over, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose (whether by sale or merger, liquidation, dissolution, dividend or distribution, by operation of Law or otherwise) of, enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to, create or suffer to exist any Liens (except for Permitted Liens) on or consent to any of the foregoing (“Transfer”), any or all of the Shares or any right or interest therein; (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Transfer; (iii) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent with respect to any of the Shares with respect to any matter that is, or that is reasonably likely to be exercised in a manner, inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the provisions thereof; (iv) deposit or permit the deposit of any of the Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Shares; or (v) directly take or cause the taking of any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on such Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that Stockholder and its Affiliates shall be permitted to Transfer Shares to Affiliates, so long as such transferee has executed and delivered to Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub a joinder to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, at all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until Termination Date, Stockholder shall not tender the Shares into any tender or exchange offer commenced by a Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent.

Stockholder, on behalf of itself and the other Releasors, represents that as to each and every Claim released hereunder, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY

(c)       Stockholder, on behalf of itself and the other Releasors, represents and acknowledges that he, she, or it has read this release and understands its terms and has been given an opportunity to ask questions of the Company’s representatives. Stockholder further represents, on behalf of itself and the other Releasors, that in signing this release he, she or it does not rely, and has not relied, on any representation or statement not set forth in this release made by any representative of the Company or anyone else with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this release or otherwise.
