ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 Defined Terms. The following terms, as used in this Agreement, shall have the meanings specified in this Section 1.1. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

“Beneficial Owner” means, with respect to a Security, any Person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares (i) the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such Security and/or (ii) investment power which includes the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, such Security, and shall otherwise be interpreted in accordance with the term “beneficial ownership” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, that, for purposes of determining whether a Person is a Beneficial Owner of such Security, a Person shall be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of any Securities which may be acquired by such Person pursuant to any contract, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise (irrespective of whether the right to acquire such Securities is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time, including the passage of time in excess of 60 days, the satisfaction of any conditions, the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing). The terms “Beneficially Own,” “Beneficially Owned” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall have a correlative meaning. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of the Covered Company Shares by virtue of this Agreement.

“Covered Company Shares” means, with respect to each Stockholder, (1) such Stockholder’s Existing Shares, and (2) any shares of Company Common Stock or other voting capital stock of the Company and any Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Company Common Stock or other voting capital stock of the Company, in each case that such Stockholder has Beneficial Ownership of on or after the date hereof; it being understood that if any Stockholder acquires securities (or rights with respect thereto) described in clause (2) above, such Stockholder shall promptly notify Parent in writing, indicating the number of such securities so acquired.

“Permitted Transfer” means a transfer of Covered Company Shares by a Stockholder to any Affiliate of such Stockholder if the transferee of such Covered Company Shares evidences in a writing reasonably satisfactory to Parent such transferee’s agreement to be bound by and subject to the terms and provisions hereof to the same effect as such transferring Stockholder, and upon such transfer to be deemed a Stockholder hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, each of the Stockholders may from time to time transfer among and between themselves any of the Covered Company Shares and each such transfer shall be deemed a Permitted Transfer (it being understood that any Covered Company Shares so transferred shall continue to constitute Covered Company Shares under this Agreement).

“Transfer” means any direct or indirect offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) or entry into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), of any capital stock or interest (including voting interest) in any capital stock (it being understood that no Transfer shall be deemed to be made by Stockholder solely as a result of transfers of limited partnership interests in such Stockholder).

Section 2.3 Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. Subject to Section 2.1(c)(ii), each Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact Parent, and any other Person designated by Parent in writing (collectively, the “Grantees”), each of them individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the fullest extent of such Stockholder’s rights with respect to the Covered Company Shares, effective as of the date hereof and continuing until the Termination Date (the “Voting Period”), to vote (or execute written consents, if applicable) with respect to the Covered Company Shares as required pursuant to Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.1(c)(i) hereof and, in the discretion of the Grantees, with respect to any proposed postponement or adjournments of any annual or special meetings of the stockholders of the Company (including the Company Stockholder Meeting) at which any of the matters described in Section 2.1(a) was to be considered. The proxy granted by each Stockholder hereunder shall be irrevocable during the Voting Period, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in Law to support an irrevocable proxy, and each Stockholder (a) will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and (b) hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by such Stockholder with respect to any Covered Company Shares (other than the proxy for the Company’s annual meeting to be held June 10, 2014 with respect to the matters set forth in the proxy materials therefor filed with the SEC on April 30, 2014, other than proposal five to the extent it involves any matter described in Section 2.1(a)); provided, however, that upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the proxy granted herein shall be modified such that it only applies to the Locked Up Shares (as determined from time to time in connection with any Determination Date).

Section 6.13 Enforcement; Exclusive Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law 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 the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. In addition, each of the Parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself, and hereby submits itself, to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any federal court located in the State of Delaware, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and agrees not to plead or claim any objection to the laying of venue in any such court or that any judicial proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, any federal court located in the State of Delaware and (d) consents to service of process being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 6.6.
