1.2 MANNER OF VOTING. The voting of Shares pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent, or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. All of the Shareholders agree to execute any written consents required to perform the obligations of this Agreement, and the Company agrees at the request of any party entitled to designate Directors (as defined herein) to call a special meeting of Shareholders for the purpose of electing Directors as provided herein.
1.3 BOARD SIZE. At all regular or special meetings of the Shareholders of the Company following the date hereof, each of the Shareholders shall vote all of their respective Shares held by them (or the holders thereof shall consent pursuant to an action by written consent of the holders of capital stock of the Company) so as to ensure that the size of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall be no more than five (5) directors (each a “Director” and, collectively, the “Directors”).
1.4 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. On all matters relating to the election of the Directors, the Shareholders agree to vote all Shares held by them (or the holders thereof shall consent pursuant to an action by written consent of the holders of capital stock of the Company) so as to elect members of the Board as follows:
(a) one (1) representative of the Investors (the “Investor Designee”) designated by a majority in interest of the Preferred Shares and Common Shares issued upon conversion of any Preferred Shares and which shall be nominated by Adams Street Partners, LLC, which individual shall initially be Jeffrey T. Diehl, and which director shall be the Preferred Director, as specified in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation;
(b) three (3) representatives of the Key Holders designated by a majority in interest of the Common Shares held by the Key Holders, one of whom must be the person then serving as Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO Director”), which individuals shall initially be the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer (Steven Beauchamp), Steven Sarowitz and Matthew Phillips; provided, however, that if for any reason the CEO Director shall cease to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, each of the Shareholders shall promptly vote their respective Shares (i) to remove the former Chief Executive Officer from the Board if such person has not resigned as a member of the Board, and (ii) to elect such person’s replacement as Chief Executive Officer of the Company as the new CEO Director; and
(c) one individual not otherwise an Affiliate (as defined below) of the Company or of any Investor who has material human resources, payroll or software expertise and who is mutually acceptable to (i) Key Holders holding a majority of the Shares held by all
2
of the Key Holders, and (ii) the holders of a majority of the Shares held by the Investors, which shall be designated following the date of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust or any other entity (collectively, a “Person”) shall be deemed an “Affiliate” of another Person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, including, without limitation, any partner, officer, director, member or employee of such Person and any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by or under common control with one or more general partners of or shares the same management company with such Person.
1.5 REMOVAL OF BOARD MEMBERS. Each Shareholder also agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Shareholder, or over which such Shareholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that:
(a) no director elected pursuant to Section 1.4 of this Agreement may be removed from office unless (i) such removal is directed or approved by the affirmative vote of the Person, or of the holders of the requisite Shareholders, entitled under Section 1.4 to designate that director or (ii) in the case of the CEO Director, the Person originally entitled to occupy such Board seat pursuant to Section 1.4 is no longer so entitled to occupy such Board seat;
(b) any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected pursuant to Section 1.4 shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.4; and
(c) upon the request of any party or parties entitled to designate a director as provided in Section 1.4 to remove such director, such director shall be removed.
All Shareholders agree to execute any written consents required to perform the obligations of this Agreement, and the Company agrees at the request of any party entitled to designate directors to call a special meeting of Shareholders for the purpose of electing directors.
1.6 FAILURE TO DESIGNATE A BOARD MEMBER. In the absence of any designation from the Persons or groups with the right to designate a Director as specified above, the Director previously designated by them and then serving shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as provided herein.
1.7 NO LIABILITY FOR ELECTION OF RECOMMENDED DIRECTOR. No party, nor any Affiliate of any such party, shall have any liability as a result of nominating or designating a person for election as a Director for any act or omission by such person in his or her capacity as a Director of the Company, nor shall any party have any liability as a result of voting for any such person in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. None of the parties hereto and no officer, director, shareholder, partner, employee or agent of any party makes any representation or warranty as to the fitness or competence of the nominee or designee of any party to serve on the Board by virtue of such party’s execution of this Agreement or by the act of such party in voting for such person pursuant to this Agreement.

1.8 VOTE TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES. Each Shareholder agrees to vote or cause to be voted all Shares owned by such Shareholder, or over which such Shareholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to increase the number of authorized Common Shares from time to time to ensure that there will be sufficient Common Shares available for conversion of all of the Preferred Shares outstanding at any given time.
1.9 LEGEND.
(a) Each certificate representing the Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the following restrictive legend (the “Legend”):
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A VOTING AGREEMENT WHICH PLACES CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE VOTING OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY. ANY PERSON ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT. A COPY OF SUCH VOTING AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE RECORD HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS.”
(b) During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall not remove, and shall not permit to be removed (upon registration of transfer, re-issuance or otherwise), the Legend from any such certificate and shall place or cause to be placed the Legend on any new certificate issued to represent Key Holder Shares or Investor Shares theretofore represented by a certificate carrying the Legend. The Shareholders agree that the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the Legend to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the Company agrees to promptly do so. The Legend shall be removed upon termination of this Agreement.
(c) In the event of any issuance of the Shares of the Company’s voting securities hereafter to any of the Shareholders (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such Shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the Legend.
1.10 SUCCESSORS. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors in interest to any of the Key Holder Shares or the Investor Shares. The Company shall not permit the transfer of any of the Key Holder Shares or the Investor Shares on its books or issue a new certificate representing any of the Key Holder Shares or the Investor Shares unless and until the person to whom such security is to be transferred shall have executed a written agreement, substantially in the form of this Agreement, pursuant to which such person becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the provisions hereof as if such person were a Key Holder or Investor, as applicable.
4
1.11 OTHER RIGHTS. Except as provided by this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, each Key Holder and Investor shall exercise the full rights of a holder of capital stock of the Company with respect to the Key Holder Shares and the Investor Shares, respectively.
2. DRAG-ALONG RIGHT.
2.1 DEFINITIONS. A “Sale of the Company” shall mean either: (a) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from Shareholders of the Company shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company (a “Stock Sale”); or (b) a transaction that qualifies as a “Deemed Liquidation Event” as defined in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.
2.2 ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN. In the event that the holders of at least a majority of the Common Shares (the “Selling Shareholders”) approve a Sale of the Company in writing, specifying that this Section 2 shall apply to such transaction, then each Shareholder hereby agrees:
(a) if such transaction requires shareholder approval, with respect to all Shares that such Shareholder owns or over which such Shareholder otherwise exercises voting power, to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Shares in favor of, and adopt, such Sale of the Company and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company;
(b) if such transaction is a Stock Sale, to sell the same proportion of shares of capital stock of the Company beneficially held by such Shareholder as is being sold, in the aggregate, and, except as expressly permitted in this Section 2, on the same terms and conditions as all other sales of capital stock;
(c) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or the Selling Shareholders in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 2, including without limitation, executing and delivering instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow agreement, consent, waiver, governmental filing, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances) and any similar or related documents;
(d) not to deposit, and to cause their Affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any Shares of the Company owned by such party or Affiliate 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 acquiror in connection with the Sale of the Company; and
(e) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company.
5
2.3 EXCEPTIONS. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Shareholder will not be required to comply with Section 2.2 above in connection with any proposed Sale of the Company (the “Proposed Sale”) unless:
(a) any representations and warranties to be made by such Shareholder in connection with the Proposed Sale are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such Shares, including but not limited to representations and warranties that (i) the Shareholder holds all right, title and interest in and to the Shares such Shareholder purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of the Shareholder in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by the Shareholder have been duly executed by the Shareholder and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with their respective terms and (iv) neither the execution and delivery of documents to be entered into in connection with the transaction, nor the performance of the Shareholder’s obligations thereunder, will cause a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement, law or judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency;
(b) the Shareholder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Proposed Sale, other than the Company;
(c) the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Shareholder in the Proposed Sale and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company in connection with such Proposed Sale, is several and not joint with any other Person, and is pro rata in accordance with such Shareholder’s relative stock ownership of the Company (but reflecting the overall priority of the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares, with any theoretical indemnification liability to be treated as a reduction of the purchase price for the purpose of allocating the proceeds thereof);
(d) liability shall be limited to the amount of consideration actually paid to such Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Sale, except with respect to (i) representations and warranties of such Shareholder related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such Shares, (ii) any covenants made by such Shareholder with respect to confidentiality or voting related to the Proposed Sale or (iii) claims related to fraud or willful breach by such Shareholder, the liability for which need not be limited;
(e) upon the consummation of the Proposed Sale, (i) each holder of the Preferred Shares and each holder of Common Shares will receive the same form of consideration for their Preferred Shares and their Common Shares, (ii) each holder of the Series B Preferred will receive the same amount of consideration per share of the Series B Preferred (iii) each holder of the Series A Preferred will receive the same amount of consideration per share of the Series A Preferred, (iv) each holder of the Common Shares will receive the same amount of consideration per share of the Common Shares, and (v) unless the holders of at least a majority of the Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class, elect otherwise by written notice given to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such Proposed Sale, the aggregate consideration receivable by all holders of the Series B Preferred, the Series A Preferred and the Common Shares shall be allocated among the holders of the
6
Series B Preferred, the Series A Preferred and the Common Shares on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of the Series B Preferred, the Series A Preferred and the holders of the Common Shares are entitled in a Deemed Liquidation Event (assuming for this purpose that the Proposed Sale is a Deemed Liquidation Event) in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the Proposed Sale;
(f) subject to clause (e) above, requiring the same form of consideration to be received by the holders of the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares, if any holders of any capital stock of the Company are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received as a result of the Proposed Sale, all holders of such capital stock will be given the same option; and
(g) in the case of the Investors, such Proposed Sale (i) provides solely for cash consideration or marketable securities, (ii) provides for the payment of consideration in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 3 of Part A of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and (iii) to the extent the Investors retain an equity interest in the Company or any successor entity following the consummation of such Proposed Sale, does not contain terms or conditions which would require any approval of the Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 2(b) of Part A of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which has not been obtained.
2.4 RESTRICTIONS ON SALES OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY. No Shareholder shall be a party to any Stock Sale unless all holders of the Preferred Shares are allowed to participate in such transaction and the consideration received pursuant to such transaction is allocated among the parties thereto in the manner specified in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Stock Sale (as if such transaction were a Deemed Liquidation Event), unless the holders of at least a majority of the Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class, elect otherwise by written notice given to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction or series of related transactions.

Each certificate representing the Shares subject to this Agreement if issued on or after the date of this Agreement shall be endorsed by the Company with the legend set forth in Section 1.8.
10
4.10 WAIVER. No waivers of any breach of this Agreement extended by any party hereto to any other party shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any other party hereto or with respect to any subsequent breach.

This Agreement supersedes the Original Agreement in its entirety, which shall have no further force or effect.
4.14 AGGREGATION OF STOCK. All Preferred Shares held or acquired by Affiliates entities or Persons under common management or control shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.
