(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Section 3 require or be construed so as to require any Selling Investor to vote or cause to be voted (including by written consent) such Selling Investor’s Covered Shares in favor of or against any stockholder vote to approve “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) solicited in connection with the Transaction.

(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that a vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company is required in order to effect an amendment to the Merger Agreement that reduces the amount or changes the form of consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock in the Mergers or otherwise amends the Merger Agreement in a manner adverse to the Selling Investor (any such amendment, an “Adverse Amendment”), the provisions of this Section 3 shall not apply with respect to the Selling Investor’s vote or consent with respect to such Adverse Amendment (and Selling Investor shall not be required to vote or consent to such Adverse Amendment); provided, however, that the term “Adverse Amendments” shall not include the amendments contemplated in Section 3(c)(i)(B).

5.          Agreement Not to Solicit.  Each Selling Investor agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of such Selling Investor’s controlled Affiliates not to, and shall instruct such Selling Investor’s and such Selling Investor’s controlled Affiliates’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate seek, or take any other action to facilitate or encourage the making, submission or announcement of any proposal that constitutes, or would be reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Proposal, (b) enter into, maintain, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person or entity in furtherance of, or furnish to any Person any information or otherwise cooperate in any way with respect to, any Competing Proposal, (c) agree to, approve, endorse, recommend or consummate any Competing Proposal, (d) enter into, or propose to enter into, any Competing Transaction Agreement, or (e) resolve, propose or agree, or authorize or permit any Representative to do any of the foregoing.  Each Selling Investor shall, and each Selling Investor shall cause such Selling Investor’s controlled Affiliates and use such Selling Investor’s reasonable best efforts to cause such Selling Investor’s Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions and negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Competing Proposal or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Proposal.

6.          Commencement or Participation in Actions.  Each Selling Investor hereby agrees not to commence or join in, and to take all reasonable actions necessary to opt out of (if applicable), any Action against the Company and/or its directors and officers (for the avoidance of doubt, participating in the defense of such Action or any Action to enforce the Drag-Along is not prohibited by this Section 6) with respect to, any litigation (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the exercise of the Drag-Along in connection with the Transactions or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board or its members or any stockholder of the Company in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Transactions or the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.         Confidentiality.  Each Selling Investor agrees that, for a period of two years following the Expiration Date, such Selling Investor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents not to divulge or convey to any third party, any of the Company’s confidential information, other than: (i) any of the Company’s confidential information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an act or omission by such Selling Investor or its Affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent, (ii) any information that has been independently developed or conceived by the Selling Investor or its Affiliates, director, officer, employee or agent, (iii) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Selling Investor by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Selling Investor shall be permitted to make any such disclosure (a) to its directors, officers, employees and agents who reasonably need to know such information and who agree to keep such information confidential and are made aware of the Selling Investor’s obligations of confidentiality under this Agreement and (b) to the extent requested by a Governmental Authority or required by Law or legal process (in which case the Selling Investor will, to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permissible, provide Parent with advance notice of such required or requested disclosure, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resist such disclosure, and, at the request of Parent, shall cooperate with Parent to, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, limit or prevent such disclosure).

9.         Directors and Officers.  Each Selling Investor is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as a Beneficial Owner of Covered Shares, and in this regard, such Selling Investor shall not be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Selling Investor’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company, including with respect to Section 7.02 of the Merger Agreement.  The parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall (i) restrict in any respect any actions taken by a Selling Investor or its designee who is a director or officer of the Company in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or (ii) be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict the Selling Investor or its designee from exercising its fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company.

10.       Irrevocable Proxy.

(a)          Each Selling Investor hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Parent, and any individual designated in writing by Parent, and each of them individually, as such Selling Investor’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Selling Investor, to vote such Selling Investor’s Covered Shares, or execute a written consent or grant approval in respect of such Covered Shares, in a manner consistent with this Agreement from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that such proxy and voting and related rights are limited to those matters set forth in clauses (b)-(d) of Section 3, and each Selling Investor shall retain at all times the right to vote such Selling Investor’s Covered Shares (or to direct how such Covered Shares shall be voted) in such Selling Investor’s sole discretion and without any other limitation on any matters not connected with the Transactions.  Each Selling Investor understands and acknowledges that Parent has entered into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Selling Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.  Each Selling Investor hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 10(a) is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Selling Investor under this Agreement.  Each Selling Investor hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest sufficient in law and such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with applicable Law and Section 2.09 of the Company’s bylaws until, and shall not be terminated by operation of Law or upon the occurrence of any other event other than, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 19.  Each Selling Investor shall, upon written request by Parent, as promptly as practicable, execute and deliver to Parent a separate written instrument or proxy that embodies the terms of this irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 10(a).  Each Selling Investor agrees not to grant any proxy that conflicts with or is inconsistent with the proxy granted to Parent in this Agreement.

(e)          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including any Schedules hereto) and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties both written and oral, among the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(f)          Parties in Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Subject to Section 23(i), and without relieving any party of any obligation hereunder, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

(g)          Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (i) a suitable and equitable provision negotiated in good faith by the parties hereto shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not, subject to clause (i) above, be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, except as a result of such substitution, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

(h)        Interpretation.

(i)          The Section headings or captions herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.  Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Schedule, such reference shall be to a Section of or Schedule to 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 word “or” when used in this Agreement is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”.  All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein.  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 term.  Any statute defined or referred to herein means such statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor statutes.  Any agreement or instrument defined or referred to herein includes all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.

(ii)          The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement.  In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(i)          Assignment.  This Agreement shall not be assignable by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of each of the parties.  Any purported assignment in contravention of the preceding sentence shall be null and void.

(j)          Expenses.  All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement are consummated.

(k)          Specific Performance.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor.  It is accordingly agreed that Parent shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court referred to in Section 23(c), without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.  The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is an unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable remedy for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach or that Parent otherwise has an adequate remedy at law.
