in opposition to, or in competition or inconsistent with, the Merger or the

Merger Agreement, including the adoption thereof, (iv) against any action or

representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company under the Merger

Agreement, (v) against any liquidation or winding up of the Company, (vi)

against any extraordinary dividend by the Company or change in the capital

with respect to all of the Owned Shares and that this Agreement places limits on

the voting of the Owned Shares. If so requested by Parent, each Shareholder

agrees that the certificates representing Owned Shares shall bear a legend

stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to the irrevocable proxy

granted in Section 2.4 of this Agreement.

 

         2.4. PROXIES. Each Shareholder hereby revokes any and all previous

proxies granted with respect to its Owned Shares. By entering into this

Agreement, each Shareholder hereby grants a proxy appointing Parent, Merger Sub

Shareholder's attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for

and in such Shareholder's name, to be counted as present, vote, dissent or

withhold consent (but not affirmatively consent in writing), or otherwise to act

on behalf of the Shareholder with respect to its Owned Shares in favor of the

Merger Agreement and otherwise in the manner contemplated by, and to give effect

to, Section 2.1. The proxy granted by each Shareholder pursuant to this Section

2.4 is, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.4, irrevocable and is

and the Merger Agreement. If any Shareholder fails for any reason to be counted

as present, consent or vote such Shareholder's Owned Shares in accordance with

the requirements of Section 2.1 above (or anticipatorily breaches such section),

then Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right to cause to be present, consent

or vote such Shareholder's Owned Shares in accordance with the provisions of

Section 2.1. The proxy granted by each Shareholder hereunder shall supersede any

prior proxy and shall not be superseded by any later proxy granted, made or

purported to be granted or made by each such Shareholder. The proxy granted by

each Shareholder shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement in

accordance with its terms.

 

                        III    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

         3.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDERS. Each Shareholder,

severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Parent, Merger Sub and the

Company as of the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of a Permitted

Transferee, as of the date of the relevant Transfer) and as of the date of any

meeting of stockholders and as of the date of the execution of any written

consent of the Shareholders, as follows (provided, however, with respect to any

representation and warranty made as of a date after the date hereof, such

Shareholder severally and not jointly makes such representation and warranty

with exceptions that would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect such

Shareholder's ability to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 2.1):

acquire (whether currently, upon lapse of time, following the satisfaction of

any conditions, upon the occurrence of any event or any combination of the

foregoing), any shares of Company Common Stock or any securities convertible

into shares of Company Common Stock (including options to purchase Company

Common Stock).

 

              (c) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such

Shareholder, the consummation by such Shareholder of the transactions

contemplated hereby or compliance by such Shareholder with any of the provisions

hereof (i) requires any consent or other authorization, approval or permit of,
