the Company shall require that any purchaser of such shares become a party to this Agreement

by separate agreement and applicable law:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A VOTING AGREEMENT WHICH
PLACES CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE VOTING OF THE SHARES
REPRESENTED HEREBY. ANY PERSON ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN
SUCH SHARES SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL
BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT. A
COPY OF SUCH VOTING AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE
RECORD HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON
WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF
BUSINESS.
The Company agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it will maintain (upon registration
of transfer, reissuance, or otherwise), the Legend on any such certificate and will place or cause
to be placed the Legend on any new certificate issued to represent Stockholder Shares. The
failure of the Company to cause the certificates evidencing the Stockholder Shares to bear the
4
WESTV10082405.6
EFTA00298928
Legend or the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as
provided hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.
5.4
Stockholder Representations. Each Stockholder represents and warrants
that (a) such Stockholder owns its Stockholder Shares free and clear of liens and encumbrances
and has not, prior to or on the date of this Agreement, executed or delivered any proxy or entered
into any other voting agreement or similar arrangement with respect to such shares and (b) such
Stockholder has full power and capacity to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement, which
has been duly executed and delivered by, and evidences the valid and binding obligation of, such
Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
5.5
Irrevocable Proxy. To insure the performance of each Stockholder with
the provisions set forth in this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby appoints the Secretary of the
Company or his designee, as his, her, or its true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full
power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote all Stockholder Shares owned or held by such
Stockholder, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon any matter presented to the
stockholders of the Company, if (and only if) such Stockholder fails to comply with the
provisions of this Agreement. The proxies and powers granted by each Stockholder pursuant to
the preceding sentence are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of
such Stockholder's commitments under this Agreement. Such proxies shall be irrevocable for
the term of this Agreement and shall survive the death, incompetency, disability, dissolution or
winding up of such Stockholder. Except as provided above, no Stockholder shall grant a proxy
with respect to, transfer any voting control over, or create any right to vote any shares of capital
stock of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company.
5.6
Specific Enforcement. It is agreed and understood that monetary
damages would not adequately compensate an injured Stockholder for the breach of this
Agreement by any party to this Agreement, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable,
and that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a
temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, each of the Company and the
Stockholders waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such
breach or threatened breach.
5.7
Remedies Cumulative. All remedies, either under this Agreement, by
law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
5.8

or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the date of the closing of a firmly underwritten public

Exchange Commission, and declared effective under the Securities Act, which results in the
outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company being converted into Common Stock, or (b) the
closing of a transaction that is deemed to be a liquidation pursuant to the Restated Certificate.
5.9
Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties hereto and
their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators and shall inure to the
