Section 2. Agreement to Vote; Restrictions on Dispositions; Irrevocable Proxy.
(a) Agreement to Vote. The Stockholder hereby agrees to vote the Shares or execute a written consent in respect thereof, (i) for approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as applicable, at any meeting or meetings of the stockholders of the Company at which the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereunder are submitted for the vote of the Stockholder or in any written consent in respect thereof, (ii) against any other Acquisition Proposal, without regard to any INDIGO Board of Directors recommendation to stockholders concerning such Acquisition Proposal, and without regard to the terms of such Acquisition Proposal, (iii) against any agreement, amendment of any agreement (including the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws), or any other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or discourage the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, other than those specifically contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement and (iv) against any action, agreement, transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement.

(b) Restrictions on Dispositions. The Stockholder hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Parent, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, give, pledge, encumber, assign, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise transfer or dispose of, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding to sell, any Shares (collectively, “Transfer”) unless such Transfer is a Transfer by the Stockholder of any Shares: (i) to a spouse or lineal descendant (whether natural or adopted), sibling, parent, heir, executor, administrator, testamentary trustee, lifetime trustee or legatee of the Stockholder, (ii) to any trust, the trustees of which include only Persons named in clause (i) and the beneficiaries of which include only the Persons named in clause (i) or (iii) any corporation, limited liability company or limited or general partnership controlled by the Stockholder or the Persons named in clause (i); provided, in every case that such transferee pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) executes and delivers to Parent a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, to

assume all of the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder in respect of the Shares subject to such Transfer and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Shares subject to such Transfer, to the same extent as the Stockholder is bound hereunder and to make each of the representations and warranties hereunder in respect of the Shares Transferred as the Stockholder shall have made hereunder.
(c) Irrevocable Proxy. Subject to the last two sentences of this Section 2(c), the Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent or Parent’s designee as the Stockholder’s agent, attorney and proxy, to vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares in accordance with Section 2(a) hereof. This proxy is irrevocable (pursuant to Section 212(e) of the Delaware Law) and coupled with an interest and is granted in consideration of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub entering into the Merger Agreement. In the event that the Stockholder fails for any reason to vote the Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 2(a) hereof, then the proxyholder shall have the right to vote the Shares in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 2(c). The vote of the proxyholder shall control in any conflict between the vote by the proxyholder of the Shares and a vote by the Stockholder of the Shares.
(d) Revocation of Prior Proxies. The Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney given by the Stockholder prior to the execution hereof with respect to any Shares inconsistent with the terms of this Section 2.

Section 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Stockholder. The Stockholder represents and warrants to Parent as follows: (i) the Stockholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder; (ii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Stockholder; (iii) assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general application which may affect the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general equitable principles; (iv) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not conflict with or
3
violate any law or agreement binding upon him, nor require any consent, notification, regulatory filing or approval and (v) except for restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement and except for the transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the “blue sky” laws of the various States of the United States, the Stockholder owns, beneficially, all of the Shares, as applicable, free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim or other lien and has voting power and power of disposition with respect to all Shares, with no restrictions on the Stockholder’s rights of voting or disposition pertaining thereto, and no Person other than the Stockholder has any right to direct or approve the voting or disposition of any Shares, except in the case of clause (iv) and (v) for violations, breaches or defaults that would not in the aggregate materially impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform his obligations hereunder.

Section 5. Effectiveness and Termination. It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement that the Merger Agreement shall have been fully executed and delivered and be in full force and effect. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the consummation of the Merger and (iii) the delivery of a written notice by the Stockholder to Parent following any amendment to the Merger Agreement to decrease the Merger Consideration or otherwise alter the Merger Agreement in a manner adverse to the Stockholder in any material respect unless such amendment has been consented to by the Stockholder in writing prior to such amendment, in each case other than with respect to this Section 5 and Section 6, which shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any Transfer of Shares consistent with this Agreement, the Stockholder shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations of Stockholder under this Agreement.
(f) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this
5
Agreement or any provision of this Agreement except as such rights as may inure to a successor or permitted assignee under Sections 2(b) or 6(e).
(g) No Partnership, Agency, or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto.
(h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter other than the Merger Agreement and any other agreement, document or instrument expressly referenced therein.
(i) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement.
(j) Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative. The parties hereto acknowledge that money damages are not an adequate remedy for violations of this Agreement and that any party, in addition to any other rights and remedies which the parties may have hereunder or at law or in equity, may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunction or such other relief as such court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this Agreement or prevent any violation hereof and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such rights, powers or remedies by such party.
(k) 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, and 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.
(l) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
(m) Jurisdiction.

6
waives (and agrees not to plead or claim) any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any state or federal court of the United States located in the State of Delaware, or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Stockholder also agrees that any final and unappealable judgment against such party in connection with any such action, suit or other proceeding shall be conclusive and binding on such party and that such award or judgment may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment.
(n) Waiver of Jury Trial. The Stockholder hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right he may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. The Stockholder (i) certifies that no representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of any such litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that he has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the consideration received by the Stockholder in respect of the Shares pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
