NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Agreement to Tender. Each Securityholder hereby agrees to validly tender or cause to be tendered in the Offer (i) any and all Shares currently beneficially owned by such Securityholder (excluding for purposes of this Section 1 any Shares that are the subject of unexercised In-the-Money Warrants or Company Options or unconverted Company Notes or deferred stock units, as applicable), (ii) any additional Shares with respect to which such Securityholder becomes the beneficial owner (including, without limitation, whether by purchase, by the exercise of In-the-Money Warrants or Company Options or conversion of Company Notes or otherwise) after the date of this Agreement (collectively, but excluding any shares that are disposed of in compliance with Section 9, the “Subject Shares”), (iii) any and all Company Notes beneficially owned by such Securityholder (excluding for purposes of this Section 1 any Company Notes that are converted into Shares after the date of this Agreement) (the “Subject Notes”) and (iv) any and all In-the-Money Warrants beneficially owned by such Securityholder (excluding for purposes of this Section 1 any In-the-Money Warrants that are exercised for Shares after the date of this Agreement) (the “Subject Warrants” and, together with the Subject Shares and Subject Notes, the “Subject Securities”), in each case pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer no later than seven (7)

Business Days after the receipt by such Securityholder of all documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer, including but not limited to the letter of transmittal in the case of certificated Subject Securities.

Each Securityholder agrees that once its Subject Securities are tendered, such Securityholder will not withdraw or cause to be withdrawn any of such Subject Securities from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 14(d). If the Offer is terminated by Parent or Purchaser, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Parent and Purchaser shall cause the depository acting on behalf of Parent and Purchaser to return all tendered Securities to the Securityholders promptly.

SECTION 2. Documentation and Information. Each Securityholder (i) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Parent of such Securityholder’s identity and holding of Subject Securities, the nature of such Securityholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of this Agreement) and any other information, in each case, that Parent reasonably determines is required to be disclosed by Applicable Law in any press release, the Offer Documents, any Company proxy statement (if approval of the Company’s stockholders is required under Delaware law), including all schedules and documents filed with the SEC, or any other disclosure document in connection with the Offer, the Merger and any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) agrees promptly to give to Parent any information it may reasonably require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents.

SECTION 3. Voting Agreement. Each Securityholder agrees that if such Securityholder’s Subject Securities have not been previously accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, such Securityholder hereby agrees that at any meeting (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) of the holders of Shares, however called (each, a “Company Securityholders Meeting”), or in connection with any written consent of the holders of Shares, such Securityholder shall, unless Parent votes the Shares directly pursuant to the proxy granted by Section 4 below, vote (or cause to be voted) or deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be delivered) with respect to all such Securityholder’s Subject Securities, in each case, to the fullest extent that such Subject Securities are entitled to be voted at the time of any vote or action by written consent:

(ii) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no Representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the

Transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 14(e).

(f) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

(g) Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto agrees that irreparable damage 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, in addition to any other remedy that a party hereto may have under law or in equity, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any party hereto shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

(h) Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by or on behalf of the party incurring such cost or expense.

(i) Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(k) Interpretation.

(i) The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders.

(iii) Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to Sections, Annexes, Exhibits or Schedules shall be deemed to refer to Sections, Annexes, Exhibits or Schedules of or to this Agreement, as applicable.

(iv) Unless otherwise indicated, the words “include,” “includes” and “including,” when used herein, shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(v) All references in this Agreement to “$” are intended to refer to U.S. dollars.

(l) No Presumption. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

(m) Obligations. The obligations of each Securityholder under this Agreement are several and not joint, and no Securityholder shall have any liability or obligation under this Agreement for any breach hereunder by any other Securityholder.

(n) Securityholder Capacity. Each Securityholder is signing and entering this Agreement solely in his capacity as the beneficial owner of Subject Securities, and nothing herein shall limit or affect in any way any actions that may be hereafter taken by him in his capacity as an employee, officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

(o) Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time.

(p) Waiver. Each Securityholder hereby irrevocably waives the right to receive any accrued and unpaid interest on the Conversion Amounts (as defined in the Company Notes) upon any conversion of such Company Notes whether prior to, at, or following the Acceptance Date or the Effective Time.
