1.1           Authorization.  Shareholder is an individual residing in the United States.  Shareholder has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Proxy, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to grant the rights covered hereby.  This Proxy has been duly executed and delivered by and on behalf of Shareholder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

 

1.2           Title to Shares.  Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Shares and owns such Shares free and clear of liens, claims, charges, options or encumbrances or other rights of third parties of any kind or any proxy or voting restriction other than that granted pursuant to this Proxy.

 

1.3           Revocation of Previous Proxies.  Shareholder hereby revokes all previous proxies granted with respect to the Shares.

(a)           Deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust, enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy (other than this Proxy) with respect to any of the Shares.

 

(b)           Enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, grant of a security interest in or lien on or other disposition of or encumbrance on the Shares.

 

2.2           Voting of Shares.  Shareholder hereby constitutes and appoints the FK, during and for the Term, as Shareholder’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and in Shareholder’s name, place and stead, (a) to call, attend and vote all Shares at any and all meetings of shareholders of the Company and any adjournments thereof, (b) to execute any and all written consents of shareholders of the Company and to vote all Shares, and (c) to represent and otherwise act as Shareholder could act, in the same manner and with the same effect as if Shareholder were personally present, at any annual, special or other meeting of the shareholders of the Company, and at any adjournment thereof, or pursuant to any written consent in lieu of meeting or otherwise, including without limitation, the election or removal of the directors of the Company and the calling of meetings for such purpose; provided, however, that such vote or consent in lieu thereof or any other action so taken shall be in accordance with the powers and rights granted to FK pursuant to, and shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in, this Proxy.  FK is hereby authorized to vote the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Proxy.

 

Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that (i) he will not vote or take any action by written consent of shareholders in lieu of meeting on any matter which is subject to this Proxy without the prior written consent of FK, and (ii) he will promptly provide FK with copies of any shareholder notices given by the Company and received by Shareholder.
