(a) Title. As of the date hereof, Shareholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Shares and beneficial owner of the other Equity Interests in the Company, in each case, set forth on Shareholder’s signature page hereto (the “Disclosed Owned Shares”). The Disclosed Owned Shares are fully paid up and constitute all of the Shares and other Equity Interests owned of record or beneficially by Shareholder or his controlled Affiliates as of the date hereof, and neither Shareholder nor any of his controlled Affiliates is the beneficial owner of any other Shares or other Equity Interests.

6
and Section 5 and all other matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Covered Shares with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights that would prevent Shareholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement, subject to applicable securities Laws and the terms of this Agreement. As of the date hereof, Shareholder has not entered into any agreement to Transfer such Disclosed Owned Shares. Except as permitted by this Agreement, the Covered Shares are now, and at all time during the term hereof will be, held by Shareholder, or by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of Shareholder, free and clear of any Liens that would prevent Shareholder from performing his obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Authority. Shareholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform Shareholder’s obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that any of Shareholder’s Covered Shares are held by a Person that is not an individual, the execution, delivery and performance by such Person of this Agreement, the performance by such Person of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by such Person of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by such Person and no other actions or proceedings on the part of such Person are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of this Agreement, the performance by such Person of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by such Person of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by Shareholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Buyer, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all applicable Laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). If Shareholder is married, and any of the Company Securities constitute community property or otherwise need spousal or other approval for this Agreement to constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation, a spousal consent substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of, Shareholder’s spouse, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all applicable Laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(c) No Conflict or Default. Except for any competition, antitrust and investment applicable Laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions and the 1934 Act, no filing with, and no permit, order or authorization of, consent or approval of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder, the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by Shareholder with the provisions hereof. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder, the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof will (i) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, permit, contract, commitment, arrangement,
7
understanding, agreement or other instrument or obligation of any kind, including any voting agreement, proxy arrangement, pledge agreement, shareholders agreement or voting trust, to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder or any of Shareholder’s properties or assets may be bound, (ii) violate any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any court, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority that is applicable to Shareholder or any of Shareholder’s properties or assets or (iii) constitute a violation by Shareholder of any applicable Law or regulation of any jurisdiction, in each case, except for any conflict, breach, default or violation described above which would not adversely affect in any material respect the ability of Shareholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) No Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Shareholder, threatened against Shareholder at law or in equity before or by any Governmental Authority that would reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the ability of Shareholder to perform timely its obligations under this Agreement or to tender its Shares into the Offer as contemplated by Section 2(a).
(e) No Fees. Shareholder has not retained or authorized to act any investment banker, broker, finder, financial advisor or other intermediary or advisor who might be entitled to any investment banker’s, broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s, success, opinion or other similar fee or commission from Shareholder, any of Shareholder’s Affiliates, the Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or the Transactions.

(o) Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by Electronic Delivery, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart of this Agreement signed by each of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party hereto has received a counterpart of this Agreement signed by each of the other parties hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party hereto shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).
(p) Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be borne by the party incurring such expenses.
(q) No Ownership Interest. The Shareholder has agreed to enter into this Agreement and act in the manner specified in this Agreement for consideration. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed, upon execution, to vest in Parent or Buyer any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Covered Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Covered Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Shareholder, and Parent shall have no authority to manage, direct, superintend, restrict, regulate, govern or administer any of the policies or operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct Shareholder in the voting of any of the Covered Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as creating or forming a “group” with any other Person, including Parent, for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the 1934 Act or any other similar provision of applicable Law.
