Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Support Period”), at every meeting of the shareholders of the Company however called and in every action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company, Shareholder shall vote (or take all action necessary to cause the record owner and any nominees of Shareholder’s Shares to vote) Shareholder’s Shares:

(a) in favor of the approval of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby;

(b) if so directed by Parent, against any Takeover Proposal and against any proposal for action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or which would reasonably be expected to result in any of the Company’s obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, any change in the composition of the board of directors of the Company (except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement), any change in the present capital structure of the Company or any amendment to the Company’s corporate structure or business, or any other action which could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the likelihood of such transactions being consummated; and

Section 2.2 Proxy. Shareholder hereby revokes all prior proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any and all of Shareholder’s Shares. During the Support Period, Shareholder hereby constitutes and appoints Parent and Merger Sub, or any nominee designated by Parent and Merger Sub, with full power of substitution and resubstitution at any time during the Support Period, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and proxy (“Proxy”), for and in its name, place, and stead, in the Proxy’s discretion, to demand that the Secretary of the Company call a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company for the purpose of considering any matter referred to in Section 2.1 and to vote each Share held by Shareholder as Shareholder’s Proxy in respect of any such matter, at every annual, special, adjourned, or postponed meeting of the shareholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to sign its name as Shareholder (or to direct the record owner to sign its name as shareholder) to any consent, certificate, or other document relating to the Company that the law of the State of Connecticut might permit or require. SHAREHOLDER HEREBY AFFIRMS THAT THE FOREGOING PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY ARE IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST THROUGHOUT THE SUPPORT PERIOD. Shareholder will take such further action and execute such other documents as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 2.2.

Section 2.3 Restrictions on Transfer; Proxies and Non-Interference.

(a) Shareholder hereby agrees, until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1 not to (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any of Shareholder’s Shares, (ii) grant any proxy or power of attorney, deposit any of Shareholder’s Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any of Shareholder’s Shares, or (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Shareholder contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing, impairing, or disabling Shareholder from timely and promptly performing Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Shareholder hereby agrees, if so requested by Parent, (i) that the Shares held by Shareholder shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to an irrevocable proxy and (ii) that, subject to the terms of Section 2.3(a), such Shareholder shall not sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any of Shareholder’s Shares without first having the aforementioned legend affixed to the certificates representing such Shares.

Section 2.4 No Solicitation.

(a) During the Support Period, each Shareholder covenants and agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, or take any other action designed to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal from any Person (other than from Parent or Merger Sub) relating to any transaction that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal.

(b) During the Support Period, each Shareholder further covenants and agrees not to participate in any discussions or negotiations (except with Parent or Merger Sub) regarding, or furnish to any Person (other than Parent or Merger Sub or if required by law or compelled by subpoena or similar legal process) any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in or facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any Person (other than Parent and Merger Sub) to make or effect, any transaction that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal.

(c) Each Shareholder shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations of Shareholder and Shareholder’s agents or other representatives with any Person (other than Parent and Merger Sub) with respect to any of the foregoing.

Shareholder agrees that it shall not compromise, offer to settle, agree to any settlement of or come to any arrangement regarding any such litigation without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed to the extent that any such compromise, offer, agreement or arrangement does not involve any monetary payment to any plaintiff or their counsel).

ARTICLE III

PRESERVATION OF GOODWILL

Section 3.1 Agreement Not to Compete.

(a) Shareholder hereby agrees that he or she shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director, promoter, lender, or in any other individual or representative capacity, from and after the Effective Time until the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”):

(ii) solicit, divert or take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away, the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers or suppliers of the Company or Parent or any of their respective present or future subsidiaries or affiliates to any individual, partnership, firm, business, corporation or other entity engaged in or planning or preparing to engage in a Competing Business; or

(iii) influence or attempt to influence the employees of the Company, or any of its present or future subsidiaries or affiliates to leave their employment with the Company or any of its present or future subsidiaries or affiliates; provided, however, that this prohibition shall not apply to solicitations for employment resulting from general advertisements appearing in newspapers, periodicals, trade journals or other media of broad circulation.

Section 3.2 Confidential Information.

(a) Shareholder hereby agrees that he or she shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, use, disclose or publish, or permit any other Person to disclose or publish, any Confidential Information, or use any such Confidential Information in a manner detrimental to the interests of the Company, Parent or any of their respective present or future subsidiaries or affiliates, unless (i) such information is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault of Shareholder, (ii) Shareholder is advised in writing by counsel that disclosure is required by Law or the order of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction under applicable Law, or (iii) Shareholder reasonably believes that such disclosure is required in connection with a subpoena served upon or in the defense of a lawsuit against Shareholder; provided that, prior to disclosing any information pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, Shareholder shall give prior written notice thereof to the Company and provide the Company with the opportunity to contest such disclosure and shall cooperate with efforts to prevent such disclosure.

Section 3.3 Acknowledgment of Unfair Competition.

Shareholder agrees that he or she shall not engage in Unfair Competition either during the Restricted Period or any time thereafter.

Section 3.4 Acknowledgement of Materiality. Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this ARTICLE III are reasonable both in duration and
