If, after the date of this Agreement, any shares or other securities are issued in respect of or in exchange for any of the Stockholder Shares as a result of any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, or similar transactions, such shares or securities shall be deemed to be Stockholder Shares for the purposes of this Agreement. If the Company issues additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Agreement, as a condition to the issuance of such shares the Company shall require that any purchaser of such shares become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering a counterpart signature page hereto agreeing to be bound by and subject to the terms of this Agreement as an Investor hereunder and each such person shall thereafter be deemed an Investor for all purposes hereunder. 5.2 Transfer of Shares.

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.

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 Termination.
