Section 2.1 GRANT OF PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY; AGREEMENT TO VOTE. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Stockholder hereby appoints Parent and any designee of Parent, and each of them individually, with respect to the Shares and any shares of Company Common Stock acquired by the Stockholder after the date hereof, as its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, to vote, at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders, or in connection with any written consent of the Company’s stockholders, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, (ii) against any other proposal relating to an acquisition of the Company, other than the Merger and (iii) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of Parent's, the Company's or Merger Sub's conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws) (the “Proxy and Power of Attorney”).

The Stockholder agrees not to enter into any agreement or commitment with any Person, the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in this Article II, and the Stockholder shall execute any documents or certificates evidencing the Proxy and Power of Attorney as Parent may reasonably request. The power of attorney granted by Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of Stockholder.
