The Owned Shares include any shares of the Issuer as to which a Principal Stockholder acquires beneficial ownership after the execution of the Voting Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each of the Principal Stockholders appointed Micron and any designee of Micron as such Principal Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote and act on each such Principal Stockholder’s behalf and in each such Principal Stockholder’s name, place and stead with respect to such Principal Stockholder’s Owned Shares, at any annual, special or other meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer and at any adjournment or postponement of any such meeting and to act by written consent with respect to each such Principal Stockholder’s Owned Shares.

 

Each Principal Stockholder affirmed that the proxy is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and agreed not to grant any subsequent proxy with respect to such Principal Stockholder’s Owned Shares. Each Principal Stockholder further irrevocably and unconditionally agreed to vote or consent, or cause to be voted or consented the Owned Shares (i) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other actions that would reasonably be expected to facilitate the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the proxy; (ii) against approval of any proposal in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the proxy; and (iii) against any other acquisition proposal or any other action that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to impede, prevent or otherwise adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. 

 

Each Principal Stockholder also agreed that he or she will not, without the prior written consent of Micron, (a) directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or make any agreement relating to, any of the Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, or (b) deposit the Owned Shares, or options with respect thereto, in a voting trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement with respect to the Owned Shares or options with respect thereto. Each Principal Stockholder further agreed that the Voting Agreement and each Principal Stockholder’s obligations thereunder attached to the Owned Shares and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of such Owned Shares may pass.

 

The Voting Agreements terminate on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) the date on which a final vote is taken by Micron’s stockholders to approve the issuance of the Merger Consideration.

 

The foregoing summary of the Voting Agreement contained in this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.2 to Micron’s Form 8-K filed on March 10, 2006 and incorporated herein by reference.
