This Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Securityholder. The Securityholder hereby represents and warrants to Company as follows:

(a) The Securityholder is the direct or indirect (through its controlled Affiliates) record and a beneficial (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) owner of, and directly or indirectly (through its controlled Affiliates) has good and valid title to, the Owned Shares, free and clear of any Encumbrances, other than any applicable restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws. As of the date of this Agreement, and except for any Parent Equity Awards and/or shares of Parent Preferred Stock, the only Equity Securities in Parent owned, directly or indirectly (through its controlled Affiliates), of record or beneficially by the Securityholder are the Current Shares. The Securityholder does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any Equity Securities of Parent or any securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, Equity Securities of Parent, except, in each case, for any Parent Equity Awards.

(b) The Securityholder, except as provided in this Agreement, has, either directly or indirectly (through its controlled Affiliates) full voting power, full power of disposition and full power to issue instructions with respect to, and agree to all, the matters set forth herein, in each case, with respect to the Owned Shares, and has not entered into any agreement or undertaking that is otherwise inconsistent with, or would interfere with, or prohibit or prevent it from satisfying, its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) The Securityholder has full legal competence and capacity and all requisite power and authority to, and has taken all action necessary in order to, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions to be performed by it hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Securityholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Agreement, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Securityholder enforceable against the Securityholder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity.

4

(d) The Securityholder has not (i) entered into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any of the Owned Shares that is still in effect and that is inconsistent with the Securityholder’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 1 hereof), (ii) granted a proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Owned Shares that is still in effect and that is inconsistent with the Securityholder’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 1 hereof), or (iii) entered into any agreement or undertaking that is otherwise inconsistent with, or would restrict, limit or interfere with, or prohibit or prevent it from satisfying, its obligations pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 1 hereof).

(e) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Securityholder does not, and the performance by the Securityholder of his or her obligations hereunder will not, require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon the Securityholder or the Owned Shares), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Securityholder of his or her obligations under this Agreement.

(f) There are no Legal Proceedings pending against the Securityholder, or to the Knowledge of the Securityholder threatened against the Securityholder, before (or, in the case of threatened Legal Proceedings, that would be before) any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Securityholder of his or her obligations under this Agreement.

(g) The Securityholder is a sophisticated holder (directly or indirectly (through its controlled Affiliates)) with respect to the Owned Shares and has adequate information concerning the Contemplated Transactions, including the transactions contemplated hereby, and concerning the business and financial condition of Parent and Company to make an informed decision regarding the matters referred to herein and has independently, without reliance upon Parent, Company, any of their Affiliates or any of the respective Representatives of the foregoing, and based on such information as the Securityholder has deemed appropriate, made the Securityholder’s own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Securityholder has received and reviewed a copy of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands and accepts all of the provisions hereof and of the Merger Agreement, including that the consummation of the Merger Transaction is subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and as such there can be no assurance that the Merger Transaction will be consummated.

Except for the representations and warranties made by the Securityholder in this Section 6, neither the Securityholder nor any other Person makes any express or implied representation or warranty to Parent in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Securityholder expressly disclaims any such other representations or warranties.

7. No Challenges. From the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Securityholder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions within its power necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, Company or any of their respective successors or directors (except in any case arising out of the fraud of such parties) (a) challenging

5

the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Securityholder from enforcing the Securityholder’s rights under this Agreement and the other agreements entered into by the Securityholder in connection herewith, or otherwise in connection with the Merger Transaction or the other Contemplated Transactions.

8. No Agreement as Director or Officer. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Securityholder is signing this Agreement solely in his or her capacity as a direct or indirect (through its controlled Affiliates) equityholder of Parent. The Securityholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in the Securityholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of Parent (if the Securityholder holds such office or position) or in the Securityholder’s capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict the Securityholder from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as an officer or director to Parent or its equityholders.

9. Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing signed by Company, Parent and the Securityholder.

10. Waiver. No failure or delay by any party hereto exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by such party.

11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. In any action or proceeding between any of the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions, each of the Parties: (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 11, (c) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party and (e) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 18 of this Agreement. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A

6

TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.

12. Assignment; Successors. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

13. Further Assurances. The Securityholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional documents, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and herein, as applicable.

14. Specific Performance. 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 any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and each of the Parties waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each of the Parties further agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

16. Disclosure. Parent and Company shall be permitted to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with the Merger Transaction and the other Contemplated Transactions, the Securityholder’s identity and ownership of Owned Shares and the nature of the Securityholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement and, if deemed reasonably appropriate by Parent or Company, a copy of this Agreement.
