SECTION 1.1. Voting of Shares. From the date hereof until termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof (the “Term”), at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in any action by consent of the stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder shall (A) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause its Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum and (B) vote (or cause to be voted) its Shares in favor of the Proposal and such other matters as may be necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 1.2. No Inconsistent Arrangements. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, during the Term, the Stockholder will not (a) directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, tender, encumber or otherwise dispose of in any manner any of the Shares, or consent or agree to do any of the foregoing, (b) directly or indirectly, limit its right to vote in any manner any of the Shares (other than as set forth in this Agreement), including without limitation by the grant of any proxy, power of attorney or other authorization in or with respect to the Shares, by depositing the Shares into a voting trust, or by entering into a voting agreement, or consent or agree to do any of the foregoing or (c) take any action which would have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder may transfer any or all of the Shares as follows: (i) in the case of a Stockholder that is an entity, to any subsidiary, partner or member of such Stockholder, and (ii) in the case of a Stockholder that is an individual, to the Stockholder’s spouse, ancestors, descendants or any trust for any of their benefits or to a charitable trust; provided, however, that in any such case, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such transfer, (x) each person or entity to which any of such Shares or any interest in any of such Shares is or may be transferred has executed and delivered to the Company and the Call Investors a counterpart to this Agreement, which counterpart shall by such transferee’s execution thereof represent such transferee’s agreement to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and (y) this Agreement becomes the legal, valid and binding agreement of such person, enforceable against such person in accordance with its terms, subject to the qualification, however, that enforcement of the rights and remedies created by this Agreement is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general application related to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

SECTION 2.2. No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder will (a) require the Stockholder to file or register with, or obtain any material permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any governmental agency, authority, administrative or regulatory body, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, or any other entity, or (b) violate, or cause a breach of or default under, or conflict with any contract, agreement or understanding, any statute or law, or any judgment, decree, order, regulation or rule of any governmental agency, authority, administrative or regulatory body, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, or any other entity or any arbitration award binding upon the Stockholder, except for such violations, breaches, defaults or conflicts which are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the Stockholder’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement. No proceedings are pending which, if adversely determined, will have an adverse effect on the Stockholder’s ability to vote any of the Shares.
SECTION 2.3. Ownership of Shares. The Stockholder has good and marketable title to, and is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Shares set forth opposite its name on Schedule I hereto, in each case free and clear of all liabilities, claims, liens, options, security interests, proxies, voting trusts, voting agreements, charges, participations and encumbrances of any kind or character whatsoever, except as may be imposed by federal, state or foreign securities laws. The Stockholder has not previously assigned or sold any of the Shares to any third party. On the date hereof, such Shares constitute all of the Shares owned of record or beneficially by such Stockholder. The Stockholder has sole voting power and sole power of disposition with respect to the Shares with no restrictions on its voting rights or rights of disposition pertaining thereto.
ARTICLE III.
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 3.1. Definitions. Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 3.2. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earlier of (i) the date that the parties hereto have consented to the termination of this Agreement and (ii) immediately following a meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which the Proposal is voted upon by the Company’s stockholders, which meeting is duly called and held for such purpose and at which a quorum was present and acting throughout. No such termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to termination.
SECTION 3.3. Further Assurances. From time to time at the request of the holders of more than 50% of all of the Common Shares held by the Call Investors (the “Majority Call Investors”) and without further consideration, the Stockholder will execute and deliver to the Company and the Call Investors such documents and take such action as the Majority Call Investors may reasonably deem to be necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof.

SECTION 3.4. No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, or any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.
SECTION 3.5. Specific Performance. The Stockholder acknowledges that the Company and the Call Investors will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements of the Stockholder that are contained in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Company or the Call Investors upon the breach by the Stockholder of such covenants and agreements, the Company and the Call Investors will have the right without the posting of a bond to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of such covenants or agreements or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such covenants or agreements. Accordingly, should the Company or any Call Investor institute an action or proceeding seeking specific enforcement of the provisions hereof, the Stockholder hereby waives the claim or defense that the Company or such Call Investor has an adequate remedy at law and hereby agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such a remedy at law exists.
