(b) in favor of any matter recommended by the board of directors of DMK to the stockholders that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the Merger;
(c) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition or inconsistent with, consummation of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including, without limitation, any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of DMK in the Merger Agreement); and
(d) in favor of waiving any notice that may have been or may be required relating to any reorganization of DMK or any subsidiary of DMK, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of DMK or any subsidiary of DMK, or any sale of assets, change of control, or acquisition of DMK or any subsidiary of DMK by any other person except for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or any consolidation or merger of DMK or any subsidiary of DMK with or into any other person except pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Securityholder further agrees that if a meeting of DMK stockholders is held, Securityholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum. Before the Expiration Date, the Securityholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any person to vote or give instructions in any manner inconsistent with the terms of this Section 3.
4. Agreement Not to Exercise Appraisal Rights. Securityholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise any rights to demand appraisal of any Shares which may arise with respect to the Merger or any related transaction.
5. Directors and Officers.

6. Irrevocable Proxy. If requested by Adamis, (a) Securityholder agrees to deliver to Adamis a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or such other similar form and substance as Adamis may reasonably request (the “Proxy”), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law, with respect to the Shares, and (b) Securityholder shall cause to be delivered to Adamis, an additional proxy (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) executed on behalf of the record owner of any Shares that are owned beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), but not of record, by Securityholder. Securityholder shall, at his, her or its own expense, perform such further acts and execute such further promises and other documents and instruments as may reasonably be required to vest in Adamis the power to carry out and give effect to the provisions of this Support Agreement.
7. No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Support Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Adamis any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Securityholder, and Adamis shall have no authority to manage, direct, superintend, restrict, regulate, govern, or administer any of the policies or operations of DMK by virtue of this Support Agreement or exercise any power or authority to direct Securityholder in the voting of any of the Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.
8. No Solicitation.

(l) Entire Agreement. This Support Agreement and the Proxy contain the entire understanding of the parties in respect of the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

IRREVOCABLE PROXY
The undersigned stockholder (“Securityholder”) of DMK Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (“DMK”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints David J. Marguglio and David C. Benedicto of Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“APC”), and APC, and each of them, as the sole and exclusive attorneys and proxies of the undersigned, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote and exercise all voting and related rights (to the full extent that the undersigned is entitled to do so) with respect to all of the shares of capital stock of DMK that now are or hereafter may be beneficially owned by the undersigned, and any and all other shares or securities of DMK issued or issuable in respect thereof on or after the date hereof (collectively, the “Shares”), in accordance with the terms of this Proxy until the Expiration Date (as defined below). Upon the undersigned’s execution of this Proxy, any and all prior proxies given by the undersigned with respect to any Shares are hereby revoked and the undersigned agrees not to grant any subsequent proxies with respect to the Shares that are inconsistent with this Proxy until after the Expiration Date (as defined in that certain Support Agreement of even date herewith by and among DMK, APC, and the undersigned stockholder, among others (the “Support Agreement”)).
This Proxy is irrevocable (to the fullest extent permitted by law), is coupled with an interest and is granted pursuant to the Support Agreement, and is granted in consideration of DMK and APC entering into that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization date as of February 24, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among DMK, APC and Aardvark Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of APC (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for the acquisition by APC of DMK by means of DMK with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).
The attorneys and proxies named above, and each of them, are hereby authorized and empowered by the undersigned, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, to act as the undersigned’s attorney and proxy to vote the Shares, and to exercise all voting, consent and similar rights of the undersigned with respect to the Shares (including, without limitation, the power to execute and deliver written consents) at every annual, special or adjourned meeting of stockholders of DMK and in every written consent in lieu of such meeting (i) in favor of approval of the Merger and the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement (and any related plan of merger), and in favor of each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Proxy and any action required in furtherance thereof; (ii) in favor of any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the Merger; (iii) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition or inconsistent with, the consummation of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including, without limitation, any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of DMK in the Merger Agreement); and (iv) in favor of waiving any notice that may have been or may be required relating to any reorganization of DMK or any subsidiary of DMK, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of DMK or any subsidiary of DMK, or any sale of assets, change of control, or acquisition of DMK or any subsidiary of DMK by any other person, or any consolidation or Merger of DMK or any subsidiary of DMK with or into any other person.

The attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this Proxy on any other matter. The undersigned stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters.
Any obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned (including any transferee of the Shares).
If any term or other provision of this Proxy is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Proxy shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closes to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Proxy so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner.
