NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency, and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.           Definitions.

For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. When used in this Agreement, the following terms in all of their tenses, cases, and correlative forms shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Section 1.

(a)           “Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall also include record ownership of securities.

(b)           “Beneficial Owner” shall mean the Person who Beneficially Owns the referenced securities.

2.           Representations of Stockholder.

Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a)           Ownership of Shares. Stockholder: (i) is the Beneficial Owner of all of the Original Shares free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim, or other Liens, other than those created by this Agreement or under applicable federal or state securities laws; and (ii) has the sole voting power over all of the Original Shares. Except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no options, warrants, or other rights, agreements, arrangements, or commitments of any character to which Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition, or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares.

(b)           Disclosure of All Shares Owned. Stockholder does not Beneficially Own any shares of Parent Common Stock other than: (i) the Original Shares; and (ii) any options, warrants, or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Parent Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, “Options”).

(c)           Power and Authority; Binding Agreement. Stockholder has the requisite power and authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully Stockholder’s obligations hereunder (including the proxy described in Section 3(b) below)). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Stockholder and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief, other equitable remedies and other general principles of equity.

(d)           No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with or violate any law applicable to Stockholder or result in any breach of or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien on any of the Shares pursuant to, any agreement or other instrument or obligation binding upon Stockholder or any of the Shares.

 

(e)           No Consents. No consent, approval, Order, or authorization of, or, except for any filings required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, registration, declaration, or filing with, any Governmental Entity or any other Person on the part of Stockholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement. No consent of Stockholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for Stockholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement or, if required, such consent has been obtained and is evidenced by a signed copy of the Consent of Spouse on the form attached hereto as Exhibit A delivered to the Company prior to or at the time of signing this Agreement;

(f)           No Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding (whether judicial, arbitral, administrative, or other) (each an “Action”) pending against, or, to the knowledge of Stockholder, threatened against or affecting, Stockholder that would reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect the ability of Stockholder to perform Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis.

(g)           Independent Advice. Stockholder has carefully reviewed the Merger Agreement, the other documentation relating to the Mergers and other transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement referred to therein and this Agreement, and has had an opportunity to discuss the Merger Agreement, such other documentation and this Agreement with an attorney of his own choosing.

3.           Agreement to Vote Shares; Irrevocable Proxy.

(a)           Agreement to Vote and Approve. Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees during the term of this Agreement, at any annual or special meeting of Parent called with respect to the following matters, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or consents of Parent stockholders with respect to any of the following matters, to vote or cause the holder of record to vote the Shares: (i) in favor of (1) the Merger Agreement and the Parent Stock Issuance and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (2) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of stockholders of Parent to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Parent Proposals; and (ii) (1) against any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of Parent under the Merger Agreement or of Stockholder under this Agreement, and (2) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect, or inhibit the consummation of the Mergers or the fulfillment of Parent’s, the Company’s, the Stockholder Representative’s or the Merger Subs’ conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of Parent (including any amendments to the Parent’s charter documents).

 

(b)           Proxy. Stockholder hereby appoints the Company and any designee of the Company, and each of them individually, until the Expiration Time (as defined below) (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Shares in accordance with Section 3(a). This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of the Stockholder under this Agreement. Stockholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Stockholder shall be irrevocable until the Expiration Time, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Stockholder with respect to the Shares. The power of attorney granted by Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the bankruptcy, death, or incapacity of Stockholder. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate at the Expiration Time.

4.           No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement.

Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Stockholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares, or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with the Company.

5.           Transfer and Encumbrance.

Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, except as specifically contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, convey any legal or Beneficial Ownership interest in or otherwise dispose of (by merger (including by conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by testamentary disposition, by operation of law, or otherwise), or encumber (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option, or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or Stockholder’s voting or economic interest therein, provided, that Stockholder may pledge or encumber any of the Shares so long as such pledge or encumbrance would not impair Stockholder’s ability to perform his obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by any Stockholder to any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or upon the death of Stockholder or to an Affiliate of Stockholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

 

6.           Additional Shares.

Stockholder agrees that all shares of Parent Common Stock that Stockholder purchases, acquires the right to vote, or otherwise acquires Beneficial Ownership of after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or the like of the capital stock of Parent affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities and such resulting securities shall be deemed to be “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement.

7.           Waiver of Certain Other Actions.

(a)           [Intentionally Omitted].

(b)           Waiver of Certain Other Actions. To the fullest extent permitted under law, Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any Action, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, the Company, or any of their respective subsidiaries or successors: (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Closing); or (b) alleging a breach of any duty of the Board of Directors of the Company or Parent in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby.

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (the “Expiration Time”): (a) the First Effective Time; (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (c) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties. Nothing in this Section 8 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party for any intentional breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

9.           [Intentionally Omitted].

10.           No Agreement as Director or Officer.

Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of Parent or any of its subsidiaries (if Stockholder holds such office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Stockholder in stockholder’s capacity as such a director or officer of Parent, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement; or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict Stockholder from exercising Stockholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director to Parent or its stockholders.

11.           Further Assurances.

Stockholder agrees, from time to time, and without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such additional documents and other instruments and to take all such further action as the Company may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

12.           Reserved.

13.           Specific Performance.

Each Party hereto acknowledges that it will be difficult to measure in money the damage to the other Party if a Party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other Party may not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each Party hereto agrees that the other Party may seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, as a remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other Party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

14.           Entire Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the Parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either Party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such Party.
