WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, Parent, Parent Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Parent Sub"), and the
Company, are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith
(such Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A" being the "Merger
Agreement"), pursuant to which the Parent Sub will merge with and into Company
(the "Merger"); and
WHEREAS, Stockholder owns, as of the date hereof, 16,288,691 shares of
common stock, $.001 par value per share of the Company ("Company Common Stock")
(such shares of Company Common Stock owned by Stockholder on the date hereof are
herein referred to as the "Existing Shares" and, together with any shares of
Company Common Stock acquired by the Stockholder after the date hereof and prior
to the termination hereof, hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Shares"); and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and
WHEREAS, Parent and Parent Sub have entered into the Merger Agreement
in reliance on and in consideration of Stockholder's representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements hereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, it is agreed as follows:
1. Agreement to Vote. Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous
proxies with respect to the Shares and irrevocably agrees to vote and otherwise
act (including pursuant to written consent) with respect to all of the Shares,
for the approval and the adoption of the Merger Agreement, as the same may be
amended from time to time, all agreements related to the Merger and any actions
related thereto, at any meeting or meetings of the stockholders of the Company,
and at any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof, at which the
Merger Agreement and other related agreements (or any amended version or
versions thereof), or such other actions are submitted for the consideration and
vote of the stockholders of the Company. At Parent's request, the Stockholder
will deliver to Parent an irrevocable proxy (the "Irrevocable Proxy") only with
respect to the matters covered by this Section granting to Parent or its
designee a proxy to vote the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Section
1; provided, that such proxy shall survive only until, and shall terminate upon,
the earlier to occur of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
or the termination of the Merger Agreement. The obligations of Stockholder under
this Section 1 shall remain in effect with respect to the Shares until, and
shall terminate upon, the earlier to occur of the Effective Time or the
termination of the Merger Agreement. Stockholder hereby agrees to execute such
additional documents as Parent may reasonably request to effectuate the
foregoing.
2. Representations and Warranties of Stockholder. Stockholder
represents and warrants to Parent as follows:
2.1 Ownership of Shares. On the date hereof, the Existing Shares
are all of the Shares currently owned by Stockholder.
Stockholder currently has, and at Closing will have good,
valid and marketable title to the Shares, free and clear of
all liens, encumbrances, and security interests (other than
the encumbrances created by this Agreement and other than
restrictions on transfer under applicable Federal and State
securities laws) and free of other restrictions, options,
rights to purchase or other claims that would adversely affect
the ability of Stockholder to perform its obligations
hereunder or pursuant to which, Stockholder could be required
to sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Shares.
2.2 Authority; Binding Agreement. Stockholder has the full legal
right, power and authority to enter into and perform all of
its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by Stockholder and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding agreement of Stockholder, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws, now or hereafter
in effect affecting creditors rights and remedies generally or
general principles of equity. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation by Stockholder
of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate, or
require any consent, approval or notice under, any provision
of any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, rule or
regulation applicable to Stockholder or the Shares or (ii)
constitute a violation of, conflict with or constitute a
default under, any contract, commitment, agreement,
understanding, arrangement or other restriction of any kind to
which Stockholder is a party or by which Stockholder is bound,
in each case the effect of which would adversely affect the
ability of Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder.
2.3 Reliance on Agreement. Stockholder understands and
acknowledges that the Parent Sub and Parent each are entering
into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon Stockholder's
execution and delivery of this Agreement. Stockholder
acknowledges that the agreement set forth in Section 1 is
granted in consideration for the execution and delivery of the
Merger Agreement by the Parent Sub and Parent.
3. Certain Covenants of Stockholder. Except in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement, Stockholder agrees with, and
covenants to, Parent as follows:
3.1 Transfer. Stockholder shall not (i) transfer (which term shall
include, without limitation, for the purposes of this
Agreement, any sale, gift, pledge, assignment, encumbrance or
other disposition) or consent to any transfer of, any or all
of the Shares or any interest therein, except pursuant to the
Merger, or (ii) enter into any contract, option or other
agreement or understanding with respect to any transfer of any
or all such Shares or any interest therein or take any other
action with respect thereto, in either case, in a manner that
would conflict with or violate the terms of the "affiliate
letter" executed by Stockholder pursuant to Section 4 hereof.
3.2 Solicitation. Prior to the Effective Time, Stockholder agrees
that it shall not directly or indirectly (including through
representatives, advisors, agents or any other
intermediaries), (i) solicit or initiate (including by way of
furnishing or disclosing non-public information) any inquiries
or the making of any proposal with respect to any merger,
consolidation or other business combination involving the
Company or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
of the Company or the acquisition of all or any significant
part of the assets or capital stock of the Company, including
the Shares, or any Subsidiary of the Company (an "Acquisition
Transaction") or (ii) negotiate or otherwise engage in
discussions with any person (other than Parent and its
representatives) with respect to any Acquisition Transaction,
or which may reasonably be expected to lead to a proposal for
an Acquisition Transaction or enter into any agreement,
arrangement or understanding with respect to any such
Acquisition Transaction or which would require the Company to
abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or require
Stockholder to abandon, terminate or fail to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
3.3 Notifications. Stockholder shall, while this Agreement is in
effect, notify Parent promptly, but in no event later than two
business days, of the number of any shares of Company Common
Stock acquired by Stockholder after the date hereof.
4. Delivery of Affiliate Letter. Stockholder shall execute and
deliver to Parent an "affiliate letter" in the form attached
as an exhibit to the Merger Agreement as contemplated by the
Merger Agreement.
5. Effect of Purported Transfer. The parties hereto agree that any
transfer of the Shares made other than in compliance with this Agreement shall
be null and void. Any such transfer shall convey no interest in any of the
Shares purported to be transferred, and the transferee shall not be deemed to be
a stockholder of the Company nor entitled to receive a new share certificate or
any rights, dividends or other distributions on or with respect to such Shares.
The Company is a party to this Agreement solely for the purpose of acknowledging
the approval of this Agreement by its Board of Directors and to agree that it
will not permit to be registered any transfer of the Shares made other than in
compliance with this Agreement.
6. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i)
the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or (ii) immediately
after the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.
7. Action in Stockholder Capacity Only. Stockholder makes no agreement
or understanding herein as director or officer of the Company. The Stockholder
signs solely in its capacity as a recordholder and beneficial owner of, or the
general partner of the partnership which is the beneficial owner of, the Shares,
and nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken in its capacity as an
officer or director of the Company.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be delivered personally or by next-day courier or
