1. Agreement to Vote and Approve. Stockholder agrees that it shall, and shall cause any other holder of record of any Subject Shares to, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought (a) when a meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum; and (b) vote (or cause to be voted, including by proxy or by delivering a written consent) the Subject Shares (i) in favor of (A) the adoption of the Merger Agreement (the Merger Proposal) and (B) any proposal to adjourn or postpone any such meeting of stockholders of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Proposal; and (ii) against any other proposal, action or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in any material respect. Stockholder agrees to waive, and to not exercise, any appraisal rights that may be available under Delaware law with respect to the Merger. Any attempt by Stockholder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of), the Subject Shares in contravention of this Section 1 shall be null and void ab initio.

Any action taken in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Subject Shares shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by Stockholders trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditors or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall, subject to applicable Law, take and hold the Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
