All capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

R ECITALS

Wonder Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“ Acquisition Sub ”), and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (as it may be amended from time to time, the “ Merger Agreement ”), which provides for, among other things, (i) an offer by Acquisition Sub (the “ Offer ”) to pay Fifty-Seven Dollars ($57.00) in cash (the “ Offer Price ”) for each of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“ Company Common Stock ”), and (ii) the merger of Acquisition Sub with and into the Company (the “ Merger ”) pursuant to which all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”)) of such number of shares of the outstanding capital stock of the Company and options and other rights to purchase such number of shares of capital stock of the Company as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.

In consideration of the execution of the Merger Agreement by Parent, the Stockholder (solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as such) is hereby agreeing to tender and vote the Shares as described herein.

A GREEMENT

Intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Tender. No later than the third business day after the commencement of the Offer, the Stockholder shall tender (and shall not withdraw prior to the Expiration Date), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the Shares. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Stockholder shall not tender the Shares into any exchange or tender offer commenced by a third party other than Parent, Acquisition Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent. “ Shares ” means all shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Stockholder as of the date hereof and all shares of Company Common Stock of which the Stockholder acquires ownership during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Expiration Date.

2. Transfer Restrictions.

 

- 1 -


(a) Until the Expiration Date, the Stockholder shall not cause or permit any Transfer of any of the Shares to be effected other than to Acquisition Sub (or Parent on Acquisition Sub’s behalf) pursuant to the Offer and shall not deposit (or permit the deposit of) any Shares in a voting trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement in contravention of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement with respect to any of the Shares.

(b) “ Expiration Date ” means the earliest to occur of (i) such date and time as the Company Board effects an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.2(d) of the Merger Agreement; (ii) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 7 thereof; or (iii) such date and time as the Merger shall become effective in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement. A person shall be deemed to have effected a “ Transfer ” of a Share if such person directly or indirectly (i) sells, pledges, encumbers, assigns, grants an option with respect to, transfers or disposes of such Share or any interest in such Share, or (ii) enters into an agreement or commitment providing for the sale of, pledge of, encumbrance of, assignment of, grant of an option with respect to, transfer of or disposition of such Share or any interest therein.

3. Agreement to Vote.

(a) Prior to the Expiration Date, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of Company, the Stockholder (in the Stockholder’s capacity as such) shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and vote the Shares:

(i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time), and in favor of each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

(ii) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, consummation of the Offer, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

(iii) against any of the following actions (other than those actions that relate to the Offer, the Merger and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement): (A) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of assets, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or (B) any other action that is intended, or would reasonably be expected to, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Offer, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall deliver to Parent a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Proxy ”), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law, with respect to the Shares.

(c) The Stockholder shall not exercise any rights (including, without limitation, under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) to demand appraisal of any Shares that may arise with respect to the Merger.

4. Directors and Officers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the Stockholder from acting his capacity as a director or officer of the Company (it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to the Stockholder solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company).

5. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder. The Stockholder has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Proxy, to perform the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder, and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement and the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations hereunder will not conflict with, result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation, material modification or acceleration) under any contract to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Shares may be bound. The Stockholder (i) is the beneficial owner of the shares of Company Common Stock and options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to purchase Company Common Stock indicated on the signature page of this Agreement, all of which are free and clear of any liens, adverse claims, charges, security interests, pledges or options, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or agreements, or any other rights or encumbrances whatsoever except any encumbrances arising under securities laws or arising hereunder, and (ii) does not own, beneficially or otherwise, any securities of the Company other than the shares of Company Common Stock, options, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, and shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such options, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.
