NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the promises and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

2.     Agreement to Vote. During the term of this Agreement, each Voting Party shall vote or cause to be voted all securities of the Company that may be voted in the election of the Company’s directors registered in the name of, or beneficially owned (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, including by the exercise or conversion of any security exercisable or convertible for shares of Common Stock, but excluding shares of stock underlying unexercised options or warrants) (“Beneficially Owned” or “Beneficial Ownership”) by, such Voting Party, including any and all securities of the Company acquired and held in such capacity subsequent to the date hereof (hereinafter referred to as the “Voting Shares”), in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, whether at a regular or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders or any class or series of the Company’s stockholders or by written consent (unless such vote would be inconsistent with such Voting Party’s fiduciary duties under applicable law); provided, that for the purpose of this Agreement, Voting Shares shall not include the securities of the Company set forth on Annex B hereto acquired by a Voting Party on the dates set forth against such Voting Party’s name (such securities, the “Excluded Shares”).

3.     Election of Boards of Directors.

a.     Voting. During the term of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time (the “Charter”), each Voting Party shall vote (or consent pursuant to an action by written consent of Company stockholders) all Voting Shares held by such Voting Party in such manner as may be necessary to elect and/or maintain in office as members of the Board the following persons:

i.           Eight (8) persons (the “Designees” and each a “Designee”) designated by the Intermex Representative (as defined herein), of which at least three (3) of the Designees must qualify as an “independent director” under the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq (an “Independent Director”); provided, however, that if at any time during the term of this Agreement: (a) the Intermex Holders collectively Beneficially Own Voting Shares that represent less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Intermex Representative shall have the right to designate only one Designee, and (b) the Intermex Holders collectively Beneficially Own Voting Shares that represent less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Intermex Representative shall have no right to designate any person for election or re-election to the Board; and

ii.          to the extent not otherwise designated as a Designee above, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,

 

provided, however, that the Intermex Representative shall not select a Designee that is subject to any disqualification event under Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act, as modified by Rule 506(d)(2) and (d)(3).  If a Designee is not appointed or elected to the Board because of such person’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee or for other reasons is unavailable or unable to be a director nominee, the Intermex Representative shall be entitled to designate another Designee (and the Company and the Voting Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that such directorship for which the original designee was designated shall not be filled pending such successor designation).

b.     Board Observers.  During the term of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by the Charter, each Voting Party shall support in such manner as may be necessary to maintain in office as a non-voting observer to the Board one person (the “Founder Observer”) designated by FinTech Investor Holdings II, LLC (the “Sponsor”); provided, however, that if at any time during the term of this Agreement the Founding Shareholders collectively Beneficially Own Voting Shares that represent less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Sponsor shall have no right to designate any person as an observer to the Board.

c.     Procedures; Rights.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(a) hereof and unless otherwise provided for pursuant to this Section 3(c), the Intermex Representative shall designate the Designees as set forth in the Form S-4 Registration Statement, dated as of June 27, 2018, for the duration of this Agreement (the “Registration Statement”).  To the extent that the Intermex Representative wishes to designate a Designee other than the Designee so designated in the Registration Statement, the Intermex Representative shall notify the Company in writing (a “Designee Notice”) of the person or persons that are to be a Designee(s) in accordance with this Section 3(c).  All Designee Notices shall be provided (i) in the case of an annual meeting of Company stockholders, not later than the close of business on the 90th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of Company stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 45 days before or after such anniversary date, a Designee Notice shall be timely delivered if received not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made by the Company; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting of Company stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting is first made by the Company (as applicable, the “Designation Date”). The Intermex Representative shall provide a copy of such Designee Notice to all other parties hereto at the respective addresses set forth on Annex A or at such other address as a party may specify in writing.  Annually with respect to each Designee, the Intermex Representative must provide the following information prior to the Designation Date: (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of the Designee, (C) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company that are Beneficially Owned or owned of record by the Designee and (D) any other information relating to the Designee that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall provide notice to the Intermex Representative of any failure to provide the information required under this sentence, and the Intermex Representative shall have 10 days upon receipt of notice of such deficiency to cure such failure. So long as a Designee is designated in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(c), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that (x) such Designee is included in the Board’s slate of nominees to the stockholders for the applicable election of directors and (y) such Designee is included in the proxy statement prepared by the management of the Company in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the applicable meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the election of the members of the Board, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on any applicable action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of members of the Board.

 

d.     Obligations; Vacancies; Removal. The obligations of the Voting Parties pursuant to this Section 3 shall include any stockholder vote to amend the Charter and bylaws of the Company as required to effect the intent of this Agreement. Each of the Company and the Voting Parties shall not take any actions that would affect the provisions of this Agreement and the intention of the parties with respect to the composition of the Board as herein stated. In the event any director elected pursuant to the terms hereof ceases to serve as a member of the Board, each of the Company and the Voting Parties, in their capacity as Company stockholders, shall take all such action as is reasonable and necessary to promptly cause the election or appointment of such other substitute person to the Board as may be designated on the terms provided herein, including, with respect to the Voting Parties, voting Voting Shares as to which the Voting Parties have Beneficial Ownership and, with respect to the Intermex Holders,  directing the Designees serving on the board to support a substitute person as designated on the terms provided herein.  For the avoidance of doubt, if a Designee ceases to serve as a member of the Board prior to the expiration of such Designee’s term, then the Intermex Representative shall be entitled to designate a director nominee as such Designee’s successor in accordance with this Agreement (regardless of the Intermex Holders’ Beneficial Ownership in the Company at the time of such vacancy), it being understood that any such designee shall serve the remainder of the term of the director whom such designee replaces (unless duly removed in accordance with the Charter).  Upon the written request of the Intermex Representative to remove its Designee, each Voting Party shall vote or cause to be voted his, her or its Voting Shares for the removal of such director.  No reduction in the Beneficial Ownership of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Intermex Holders shall shorten the term of any Designee serving as a director.  Nothing in this Section 3(d) will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict an officer or director from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Company or its stockholders.
