WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholders own of record and beneficially the shares of capital stock of the Buyer set forth on Schedule I hereto (such shares, or any other voting or equity of securities of the Buyer hereafter acquired by any Stockholder prior to the termination of this Agreement, being referred to herein collectively as the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Buyer and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, a subsidiary of the Buyer will be merged with and into the Company, and the Company will be the surviving corporation (the “Merger”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Company has required that the Stockholders agree, and in order to induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement the Stockholders are willing, to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree, severally and not jointly, as follows:

Section 1.                                            Voting of Shares.

(a)                                  Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, at the Buyer Stockholders Meeting or any other meeting of the stockholders of the Buyer, however called, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Buyer, such Stockholder will vote, or cause to be voted, all of such Stockholder’s respective Shares in favor of the Buyer Voting Proposals.

(b)                                 Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, the Company, and any individual designated in writing by it, and each of them individually, as his or her proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in his or her name, place and stead, to vote such Stockholder’s Shares at any meeting of the stockholders of the Buyer called with respect to any of the matters specified in, and in accordance and consistent with, this Section 1.  Each Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.  Each Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 1(b) is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Stockholder under this

Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided for herein, each Stockholder hereby (i) affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked, (ii) ratifies and confirms all that the proxies appointed hereunder may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof and (iii) affirms that such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the irrevocable proxy granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.                                            Transfer of Shares.

(a)                                  Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that such Stockholder will not directly or indirectly (i) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares, (ii) deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement or (iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any Shares; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing a Stockholder may transfer Shares or agree to transfer Shares by testamentary disposition, interspousal disposition pursuant to a domestic relations proceeding or otherwise by operation of law, provided that in each such case the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement.

(b)                                 Each Stockholder agrees to submit to the Buyer contemporaneously with or promptly following execution of this Agreement all certificates representing the Shares (unless such Shares are held in “street” name or otherwise not issued and certificated in the individual name of the Stockholder) so that the Buyer may place thereon a legend referring to the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 3.                                            Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders.  Each Stockholder on his or her own behalf hereby severally represents and warrants to the Buyer with respect to such Stockholder and such Stockholder’s ownership of the Shares as follows:

(a)                                  Ownership of Shares.  The Stockholder beneficially owns all of the Shares as set forth on Schedule I hereto and has good and marketable title to such Shares, free and clear of any claims, liens, encumbrances and security interests whatsoever.  The Stockholder owns no shares of Buyer Common Stock other than the Shares as set forth on Schedule I hereto.  The Stockholder has sole voting power, without restrictions, with respect to all of the Shares.

(b)                                 Power, Binding Agreement.  The Stockholder has the legal capacity and all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform all of his or her obligations under this Agreement.  This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms.

(c)                                  No Conflicts.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a

2

right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, any provision of any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Stockholder, the Shares or any of the Stockholder’s properties or assets.  Except as expressly contemplated hereby, the Stockholder is not a party to, and the Shares are not subject to or bound in any manner by, any contract or agreement relating to the Shares, including without limitation, any voting agreement, option agreement, purchase agreement, stockholders’ agreement, partnership agreement or voting trust. Except for the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and informational filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any court, administrative agency or commission or                             other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic, foreign or supranational, is required by or with respect to the Stockholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.                                            Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of:

(i)                                     the Effective Time;

(ii)                                  written notice of termination of this Agreement by the Company to the Stockholders; or

(iii)                               the date of termination of the Merger Agreement; provided that no such termination shall relieve any party of liability for a willful breach hereof prior to termination.

Section 5.                                            Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

Section 6.                                            Fiduciary Duties.  Each Stockholder is signing this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as an owner of such Stockholder’s respective Shares, and nothing herein shall prohibit, prevent or preclude such Stockholder from taking or not taking any action in such Stockholder’s capacity as an officer or director of the Buyer to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement.

Section 7.                                            Consent and Waiver.  Each Stockholder hereby gives any consents or waivers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the Merger under the terms of any agreement to which such Stockholder is a party or pursuant to any rights such Stockholder may have in his or her capacity as a Stockholder of the Company.

Section 8.                                            Miscellaneous.
