ARTICLE I

GENERAL

Section 1.1 Definitions. This Agreement is one of the “Voting Agreements” as defined in the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

“Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such Rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, Beneficially Own and Beneficial Ownership shall also include record ownership of securities.

“Beneficial Owners” shall mean Persons who Beneficially Own the referenced securities.

“Permitted Lien” means (a) a collateral assignment or similar agreement, pledging or granting a Lien in Covered Securities or a Person who directly or indirectly holds Covered Securities to a nationally recognized reputable banking organization in connection with any instrument governing Indebtedness of any Holder or any of its Affiliates, in each case as in existence on the date of this Agreement, and (b) transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act or other applicable securities Laws or as set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Holder or any of its Affiliates.

“Transfer” means (a) any direct or indirect offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, grant of a security interest, hypothecation, disposition or other similar transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntary or involuntary, or entry into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), of any Covered Securities owned by the Holder (whether beneficially or of record), including in each case through the Transfer of any Person or any interest in any Person, or (b) in respect of any capital stock or interest in any capital stock, to enter into any swap or any other agreement, transaction or series of transactions that results in an amount of Covered Securities subject to Article III that is less than the amount of Covered Securities subject to Article III as of the date hereof.

ARTICLE II

AGREEMENT TO RETAIN COVERED SECURITIES

2.1 Transfer and Encumbrance of Covered Securities.

(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Termination Date (as defined below) and the Effective Time, the Holder shall not, with respect to any Covered Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holder, (i) Transfer any such Covered Securities or (ii) deposit any such Covered Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Covered Securities or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with respect thereto.

2

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), the Holder may: (i) Transfer Covered Securities to one or more Affiliates (A) who is a party to an agreement with Parent with substantially similar terms as this Agreement or (B) if, as a condition to such Transfer, the recipient agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and delivers a copy of such executed written agreement to Parent prior to the consummation of such Transfer or (ii) Transfer Covered Securities with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be granted or withheld by Parent in its sole discretion).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit direct or indirect transfers of equity or other interests in a Holder to an Affiliate of the Holder.

2.2 Additional Purchases; Adjustments. The Holder agrees that any additional shares of capital stock or other equity of the Company or Opco LLC that the Holder purchases or otherwise acquires or with respect to which the Holder otherwise acquires voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the earlier of the Termination Date and the Effective Time shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Covered Securities as of the date hereof (and shall be deemed “Covered Securities” for all purposes hereof), and the Holder shall promptly notify Parent of the existence of any such after acquired Covered Securities. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company or any similar transaction with respect to the equity of Opco LLC, as applicable, affecting the Covered Securities, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities.

2.3 Unpermitted Transfers; Involuntary Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Covered Securities in violation of this Article II shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio, with no further action required by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or Opco LLC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Holder hereby agrees to authorize and instruct the Company or Opco LLC, as applicable, to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Covered Securities. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Holder’s Covered Securities shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Covered Securities subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT TO VOTE

3.1 Agreement to Vote. Prior to the earlier of the Termination Date and the Effective Time, the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that such Holder shall, at any meeting (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, of the stockholders of the Company or at any meeting or with respect to any written consent of the Members (as defined in the Opco LLC Agreement) of Opco LLC, as applicable, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Securities to be counted as present thereat for purpose of establishing a quorum and vote, or cause to be voted at such meeting, all Covered Securities:

(a) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approving any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (the “Transaction Matters”); and

(b) against (i) any Acquisition Proposal or any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement or in competition or inconsistent with the Mergers or matters contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) any action that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, postpone or adversely affect the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement or any transaction that results in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including Opco LLC) under the Merger Agreement.

Any attempt by the Holder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of) the Covered Securities in contravention of this Section 3.1 shall be null and void ab initio. If the Holder is the Beneficial Owner, but not the holder of record, of any Covered Securities, the Holder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the holder of record and any nominees to vote (or exercise a consent with respect to) all of such Covered Securities in accordance with this Section 3.1.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 3.1 shall not require the Holder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted), any of the Covered Securities to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces the amount or changes the form of the Merger Consideration payable or imposes any material restrictions on or additional material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration or extends the Outside Date.

The Holder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and unconditional during the term of this Agreement prior to the earlier of the Termination Date and the Effective Time and coupled with an interest and will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effect the intent of this proxy, and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Holder with respect to the Covered Securities (and the Holder hereby represents that any such proxy is revocable). The proxy granted by the Holder shall be automatically revoked upon the earlier of the Termination Date and the Effective Time and Parent may further terminate this proxy at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Holder.

The Holder is entering into this Agreement solely in such Holder’s capacity as the record or Beneficial Owner of the Covered Securities and nothing herein is intended to or shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Holder or any of the Holder’s designees, as applicable, serving in his or her capacity as a director of the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company). The taking of any actions (or failures to act) by the Holder or the Holder’s designees, as applicable, serving as a director of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (in such capacity as a director) shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Other than this Agreement and any Permitted Liens, (i) there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, to which the Holder is a party obligating the Holder to Transfer or cause to be Transferred to any person any of the Covered Securities and (ii) no Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Covered Securities.

(b) Organization; Authority. The Holder is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation. The Holder has full power and authority and is duly authorized to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to perform the Holder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Holder and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)), and no other action is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by the Holder or the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder.

(c) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement will not (i) violate any provision of any Law applicable to the Holder; (ii) violate any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Holder or any of its Affiliates; or (iii) conflict with, or result in a breach or default under, any agreement or instrument to which the Holder or any of its Affiliates is a party or any term or condition of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or comparable organizational documents, as applicable, except where such conflict, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on the Holder’s ability to satisfy the Holder’s obligations hereunder.

(d) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery by the Holder of this Agreement, and the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder, do not require the Holder or any of its Affiliates to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any person or Governmental Entity, except such filings and authorizations as may be required under the Exchange Act.

(e) Absence of Litigation. To the knowledge of the Holder, as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against, or threatened in writing against the Holder that would prevent the performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement on a timely basis.

6.5 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the date the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms (such date, the “Termination Date”).

Nothing in the Merger Agreement shall relieve the Holder from any liability arising out of or in connection with a breach of this Agreement.

provided, however, that, in each case, such waiver is made in writing and signed by the party (or parties) against whom the waiver is to be effective.

8

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Parent in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. No agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid unless set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. No waiver by any of the parties hereto of any default, misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

Each party hereto further agrees that no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 6.20, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
