1. Transfer of Subject Shares.
1.1 No Disposition or Encumbrance of Subject Shares.

As used herein, the term
“Expiration Date” means the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time of the Merger, or (ii) such time as the Merger Agreement or this Agreement may be terminated in accordance with their respective terms.
1.2 Transfer of Voting Rights. Shareholder agrees that, prior to the Expiration Date, Shareholder will not deposit any of the Subject Shares into a voting trust or grant a proxy or enter into an agreement of any kind with respect to the voting of any of the Subject Shares, except for the Proxy called for by Section 2.2 of this Agreement.
2. Voting of Subject Shares.
2.1 Voting Agreement. Shareholder agrees that, prior to the Expiration Date, at any meeting of the shareholders of Crdentia, however called, and in any action taken by the written consent of shareholders of Crdentia without a meeting to vote as set forth therein, Shareholder will vote the Subject Shares:
(i) in favor of the Merger, the execution and delivery by Crdentia of the Merger Agreement and the adoption and approval of the terms thereof and in favor of each of the other actions and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and any action required in furtherance hereof and thereof;
(ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Crdentia in the Merger Agreement or that would preclude fulfillment of a condition precedent under the Merger Agreement to Crdentia’s obligations to consummate the Merger; and
(iii) against any action which is intended, or could reasonably be expected to, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.
Prior to the Expiration Date, Shareholder will not enter into any agreement or understanding with any person or entity to vote or give instructions in any manner inconsistent with this Section 2.1.
2.2 Proxy. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Shareholder will deliver to Crdentia a proxy with respect to the Subject Shares in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, which proxy will be irrevocable to the fullest extent permitted by law (the “Proxy”) and will provide that Crdentia may vote the Subject Shares in accordance with Section 2.1.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms.

3.3 Further Assurances. Shareholder agrees to execute and deliver any additional documents reasonably necessary or desirable, in the opinion of Crdentia, to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement and the Proxy.
4. Miscellaneous.
4.1 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, will for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as to reasonably effect the intent of the parties hereto.
4.2 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement or any provision hereof may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed, waived or extended only by an agreement in writing executed by Crdentia and Shareholder. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.
4.3 Assignment. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder are personal to Shareholder and may not be transferred or assigned by Shareholder at any time. Crdentia may assign its rights, together with its obligations hereunder, to any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or successor of Crdentia, as the case may be. This Agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the persons or entities who are permitted, by the terms of this Agreement, to be successors, assigns and personal representatives of the respective parties hereto.

4.4 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, excluding that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws.
4.5 Costs of Enforcement.

4.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which, taken together, constitute one and the same agreement.
4.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof.
4.8 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto acknowledge that Crdentia will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements of Shareholder set forth herein. Therefore, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Crdentia upon any such violation, Crdentia shall have the right to enforce such covenants and agreements by specific performance, injunctive relief or by any other means available to Crdentia at law or in equity.
