NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 1. Certain Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Tender Agreement. 2. Agreements of Shareholders. (a) Tender. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, each Shareholder agrees that it shall (i) as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten business days after the commencement of the Offer, validly tender all of such Shareholder's Shares into the Offer, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, and (ii) not withdraw any of such Shareholder's Shares from the Offer. (b) Voting; Written Consent. From and after the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) or any adjournment thereof, each Shareholder agrees that it shall vote all of such Shareholder's Shares (or cause them to be voted), or execute written consents in respect thereof, (i) in favor of the Purchaser's acquisition of the majority or more of the voting power of the Company, (ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company contained in the Tender Agreement, (iii) against any Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement, amendment of the Company Charter Documents or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Offer or that would revoke or otherwise be inconsistent with the Shareholder Consent or the Opt Out. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by each Shareholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote (or consent). (c) Restriction on Transfer; Proxies; Non-Interference; etc. From and after the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Shareholder agrees that it shall not (i) sell, transfer (including by operation of law), give, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, gift, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any Shareholder Shares, (ii) deposit any of such Shareholder's Shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any Shareholder Shares or (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Shareholders set forth in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing, disabling or materially delaying the Shareholders from performing any of their obligations under this Agreement. (d) No Solicitation. Each Shareholder agrees that it shall immediately cease, and shall cause its affiliates and its and its affiliates' respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other representatives (hereinafter referred to collectively as such "Shareholder's Representatives") to cease, any discussions or negotiations with any Person that may be ongoing with respect to a Takeover Proposal and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the return from all such Persons or cause the destruction of all copies of confidential information provided to such parties by such Shareholder or its representatives that are still in the possession of such Persons. From and after the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Shareholder agrees that it shall not, and shall cause such Shareholder Representative not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage the initiation of (including by way of furnishing information that has not been previously publicly disseminated) any inquiries or proposals that constitute, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal or (ii) participate in any discussions with any third party regarding, or furnish to any third party any non-public information with respect to, or assist or facilitate, any Takeover Proposal. In addition, from and after the date hereof until any A-2 termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Shareholder agrees that it shall promptly advise Purchaser, orally and in writing, and in no event later than 48 hours after receipt, if any proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact is received by, any information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, such Shareholder or such Shareholder's Representatives in respect of any Takeover Proposal, and shall, in any such notice to Purchaser, indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of any proposals or offers or the nature of any inquiries or contacts (and shall include with such notice copies of any written materials received from or on behalf of such Person relating to such proposal, offer, inquiry or request), and thereafter shall keep Purchaser informed, on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail, of all material developments affecting the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests (and the Shareholders shall provide Purchaser with copies of any additional written materials received that relate to such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests) and of the status of any such discussions or negotiations. As used in this paragraph, "affiliates" of the Shareholders shall not include the Company and nothing contained in this Section 2(d) shall restrict any Shareholder's Representative who is a director of the Company from taking any action in such capacity that is permitted by the terms of the Tender Agreement.

(f) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights hereunder. (g) Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Purchaser may assign its rights and interests hereunder to any wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser, if any, if such assignment would not cause a delay in the consummation of any of the Transactions, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section shall be null and void. 7 (h) Amendments; Waiver.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Purchaser 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 thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. (i) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by the other parties hereto. (k) Descriptive Headings.
