WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, Parent, the Company, and Holder desire to enter into this Agreement in order for Holder to provide certain assurances to Parent regarding the manner in which Holder is bound hereunder to vote any shares of capital stock of the Company, which Holder beneficially owns, holds or otherwise has voting power over (the “Shares”) during the period from and including the date hereof through and including the earlier of the First Effective Time (following the performance of the obligations of the parties hereunder required to be performed at or prior to the First Effective Time), the date of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, or the date of termination of this Agreement, whichever is earlier (the “Voting Period”) with respect to the Merger Agreement, the Mergers, the Ancillary Documents and the Transactions.

(b) to deliver to the Company and the Parent a validly executed action by written consent of the Company Shareholders, approving the Transactions within 2 business days following the filing of the definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC by the Parent under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”);

 

(c) to execute and deliver all related documentation reasonably requested by the Company and take such other action reasonably requested by the Company in support of the Mergers, the Merger Agreement, any Ancillary Documents and any of the Transactions as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or Parent in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 1.01, including, without limitation, (i) execution and delivery to the Company of a Letter of Transmittal and any other customary documents that the Exchange Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith (including, as applicable, a Lock-Up Agreement), (ii) delivery of the Share Certificate (or a Lost Stock Affidavit in lieu of the Share Certificate), duly endorsed for transfer, to the Company and any similar or related documents, (iii) any actions by written consent of the Company Shareholders presented to Holder as they may reasonably be required to sign with respect to the matters in Section 1.01(a) or 1.01(g), and (iv) any applicable Ancillary Documents, customary instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any consent, waiver, governmental filing, and any similar or related documents as they may reasonably be required to sign;

 

(d) not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any Shares owned by Holder in a voting trust or subject any Shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the Company and Parent in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and any of the Transactions;

 

2

 

 

(e) except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, not to make, or in any manner participate in, directly or indirectly, a “solicitation” of “proxies” or consents (as such terms are used in the rules of the SEC) or powers of attorney or similar rights to vote, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of, any shares of the Company capital stock in connection with any vote or other action with respect to the Transactions, other than to recommend that shareholders of the Company vote in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, to solicit “proxies” or consents in favor of the Transactions, and any other proposal the approval of which is a condition to the obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement (and any actions required in furtherance thereof and otherwise as expressly provided by Section 1.01 of this Agreement);

 

(f) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to the Mergers, the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and any of the Transactions, including pursuant to the CGCL or the DGCL; and

 

(g) without limiting Section 1.01(a) and 1.01(b) above: to, should a conversion of all Company Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock not be triggered automatically as a result of the Mergers, irrevocably elect that all shares of Company Preferred Stock held by Holder shall be automatically converted into Company Common Stock in accordance with the Company Charter Documents.

 

Section 1.02. Grant of Proxy. Holder, with respect to all of the Shares, hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Parent and any designee of Parent (determined in Parent’s sole discretion) as Holder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, for and in Holder’s name, to vote, or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) any Shares owned (whether beneficially or of record) by Holder with respect to the matters specified in Section 1.01. The proxy granted by Holder pursuant to this Section 1.02 is irrevocable and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and incurring certain related fees and expenses.

(i) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of Parent, the Company and the Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

 

(j) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

 

(k) Specific Performance. Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and the Company and Parent will have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Company and Parent shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(l) Expenses. Each party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of investment bankers, accountants and counsel) in connection with the entering into of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that in the event of any Action arising out of or relating to the enforcement of this Agreement by the Parent, Holder will pay the expenses and the reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the Parent.

 

(m) No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship among Holder, the Company and Parent, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship among the parties hereto or among any other Company shareholders entering into voting agreements with the Company or Parent. Holder is not affiliated with any other holder of securities of the Company entering into a voting agreement with the Company or Parent in connection with the Merger Agreement and has acted independently regarding its decision to enter into this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in the Company or Parent any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares.

 

(n) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration, each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(o) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Merger Agreement to the extent referred to herein) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or the Company or any of the obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and Parent or the Company or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of Parent or the Company, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or the Company or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement.

 

(p) Counterparts. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by electronic signature or by email in portable document format in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
