2. Agreement to Vote.

(a) | when such meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Public Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum; |
(b) | vote, or cause to be voted at such meeting, all of the Public Shares in favor of the Transaction and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by the Target for consummation of the Transaction; |
(c) | vote, or cause to be voted at such meeting, all of the Public Shares against any alternative Business Combination (as such term is defined in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer) and any other action that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transaction or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Issuer with respect to the Transaction; and |
(d) | not enter into any agreement or other arrangement inconsistent with the terms set forth in this Voting Agreement. |
This paragraph 2 shall apply until the earlier of (x) the date of the consummation of the Transaction and (y) the termination of the Definitive Agreement in accordance with its terms. The obligations of Holder specified in this paragraph 2 shall apply whether or not the Transaction or any action described above is recommended by the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the Board of Directors of the Issuer has previously recommended the Transaction but changed such recommendation.
3. Miscellaneous.
a. Holder acknowledges that the Target will rely on the representations, warranties, acknowledgments, understandings and agreements contained in this Voting Agreement and that this Voting Agreement is being delivered to Target to induce Target to enter into the Definitive Agreement. Holder agrees to promptly notify the Target if any of the representations, warranties, acknowledgments, understandings or agreements set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.
b. The Target is entitled to rely upon this Voting Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Voting Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

l. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Voting Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Voting Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Voting Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Voting Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Voting Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Voting Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Voting Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Voting Agreement in accordance with this paragraph 3(l) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS VOTING AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
