Section 4.5 Severability.

Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Each Securityholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that Parent and/or its Affiliates could be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by such Securityholder could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. Accordingly, such Securityholder hereby (a) waives, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law and (b) agrees that, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Parent may be entitled, at law or in equity, Parent shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 4.8 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement, any Proxy or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement, any Proxy or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in a written document signed by each other party hereto against whom such waiver or renunciation is charged, (b) no waiver that may be given by a party hereto will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given, and (c) no notice to or demand on one party hereto will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement, any applicable Proxy or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

7


arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if such court does not have jurisdiction over the subject matter of such proceeding or if such jurisdiction is not available, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any of those courts or that any suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any of those courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any of the named courts.

EXHIBIT A

IRREVOCABLE PROXY

The undersigned holder (the “Securityholder”) of securities of Precision Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby irrevocably (to the full extent permitted by Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) appoints Oracle Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), as the sole and exclusive attorney and proxy of the Securityholder, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote and exercise all voting rights expressly provided herein (to the full extent that the Securityholder is entitled to do so) with respect to (i) the outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company owned of record by the Securityholder as of the date of this Proxy, which shares (including the classes and series thereof) and securities are specified on Schedule I attached to the Voting Agreement (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock or securities of the Company which the Securityholder may acquire on or after the date hereof (such shares of capital stock and other securities of the Company referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), the “Securities”). Upon the Securityholder’s execution of this Proxy, any and all prior proxies given by the Securityholder with respect to any of the Securities are hereby revoked and the Securityholder agrees not to grant any subsequent proxies with respect to any of the Securities at any time prior to the “Termination Time” under the Voting Agreement.

This Proxy is irrevocable (to the extent permitted by Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law), is coupled with an interest and is granted pursuant to that certain Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the “Voting Agreement”), by and among Parent, the Securityholder and certain other holders of securities of the Company, and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Voting Agreement).

The attorneys and proxies named above, and each of them, are hereby authorized and empowered by the Securityholder, at any time prior to the Termination Time, to act as the Securityholder’s attorney and proxy to vote the Securities, and to exercise all voting and other rights of the Securityholder with respect to the Securities (including, without limitation, the power to execute and deliver written consents pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise), at every annual or special meeting (and, in each case, any adjournment or postponement thereof) of the holders securities of the Company at which any of the Securities are entitled to vote and in every written consent in lieu of any such meeting (or adjournment or postponement): (i) in favor of adoption, approval and consummation of (A) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the Merger (as defined in the Voting Agreement)) and any actions required in furtherance thereof and (B) the Conversion (as defined in the Voting Agreement), and (ii) against any Alternative Transaction (as defined in the Voting Agreement) or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the consummation of the Conversion, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Securityholder may vote the Securities on all other matters not referred to in this Proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this Proxy with respect to such other matters.

This Proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Securityholder (including any transferee of any of the Securities).

If any provision of this Proxy or any part of any such provision is held under any circumstances to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, then (a) such provision or part thereof shall, with respect to such circumstances and in such jurisdiction, be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid and enforceable to the fullest possible extent, (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision or part thereof under such circumstances and in such jurisdiction shall not

 

12


affect the validity or enforceability of such provision or part thereof under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction, and (c) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision or part thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Proxy. Each provision of this Proxy is separable from every other provision of this Proxy, and each part of each provision of this Proxy is separable from every other part of such provision.
