(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 such Stockholder, threatened against or affecting, such Stockholder or its Affiliates that would reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect the ability of such Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis.

3) Agreement to Vote Shares.

(a) Agreement to Vote and Approve. Each Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees during the term of this Agreement, at any annual or special meeting of the Company called with respect to the following matters, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, to appear thereat in person or by proxy and vote or cause the holder of record to vote, in person or by proxy, or deliver a written consent (or cause a consent to be delivered) voting, the Shares: (i) in favor of (1) adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and any other proposals related thereto or necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Matters”), and (2) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of stockholders of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger; and (ii) against (1) any Acquisition Proposal, (2) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement, (3) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage or adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger in any material respect, or (4) any change in the corporate structure, business, present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company or any amendment or other change to the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws, except as expressly permitted pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

(b) Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby appoints Parent and any designee of Parent, and each of them individually, until the Expiration Time (as defined below) (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), as 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 this Section 3. This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of Stockholder under this Agreement. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, 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 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 upon the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Exceptions to Vote. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 3 shall not require any Stockholder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted), any of the Shares to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that decreases the amount, changes the form of, imposes any material restrictions on or additional material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration, extends the Termination Date (other than as provided in the Merger Agreement), adversely affects the tax consequences to such Stockholder with respect to the consideration to be received in the Merger or otherwise adversely affects such Stockholder of the Company (in its capacity as such) in any material respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Stockholder shall remain free to vote (or execute consents or proxies with respect to) the Shares with respect to any matter other than as set forth in Section 3(a) in any manner such Stockholder deems appropriate, including in connection with the election of directors of the Company.

(d) Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, in the event the Company Board or any committee thereof effects an Adverse Recommendation Change in compliance with the Merger Agreement, the obligation of the Stockholders to vote the Shares in the manner set forth in Section 3(a) shall be modified such that the Stockholders shall only be required to so vote, in the aggregate, such number of Shares as is equal to the sum of the number of Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole Share) that would represent, as at the time of such vote, 35% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company.

4) No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement. Each Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement such Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under such Stockholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney 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 Parent.

5) Transfer and Encumbrance; Conversion.

a) Each Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, other than in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, such Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, loan, grant a security interest, 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 any other security of the Company (other than shares of Series A Preferred Stock) convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for capital stock of the Company (collectively, “Company Securities”), or enter into any contract, option, or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Company Securities or such Stockholder’s voting or economic interest therein; provided, however, that the conversion of any Company Securities to a Share, as applicable, shall not be deemed a “Transfer” for purposed of this Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of Company Securities or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5(a) shall be null and void. This Section 5(a) shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Company Securities by any Stockholder (a) to any member of such Stockholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of such Stockholder or any member of such Stockholder’s immediate family, or upon the death of such Stockholder, or to a charitable entity qualified as a 501(c)(3) organization under the Code, or (b) if such Stockholder is not a natural person, to an Affiliate controlled by such Stockholder or under common control with 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.

 

  b)

Each Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, such Stockholder shall not convert or deliver a Conversion Notice (as such term is used in the Certificate of Designations) with respect to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder. Any attempted conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder in violation of this Section 5(b) shall be null and void.

6) Additional Shares.

(a) Each Stockholder agrees that all shares of capital stock of the Company that such 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, including, as applicable, upon exercise of any Company Option or Warrant or vesting of any Company RSU Award, or Company PSU Award, 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 the Company 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.

(b) Promptly following the written request of Parent, or upon any Stockholder’s or any of its controlled Affiliates’ acquisition of record or beneficial ownership of additional shares of capital stock of the Company or Company Securities after the date hereof, such Stockholder shall send to Parent a written notice setting forth the number of Shares and Company Securities owned of record and Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder or any of its controlled Affiliates and indicating the capacity in which such Shares or Company Securities are owned. Each Stockholder agrees to cause any of its controlled Affiliates that acquires any shares of capital stock of the Company or Company Securities on or after the date hereof to execute an agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent to be bound with respect to this Agreement with respect to such shares to the same extent such shares would be subject to this Agreement had they been acquired by such Stockholder, and such shares or other Company securities shall be deemed as Shares for all purposes hereunder.

7) Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights and Certain Other Actions.

(a) Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. To the extent permitted by Law, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent in connection with the Merger that such Stockholder may have by virtue of ownership of the Shares, with respect to all Shares.

(b) Waiver of Certain Other Actions. Each 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, Merger Sub, 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); (b) to the fullest extent permitted under Law, alleging a breach of any duty of the Company Board, Parent, or Merger Sub in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby, including the Merger; or (c) alleging any failure on the part of the Company or Parent to provide information or alleging a material misstatement or omission in the information provided to such Stockholder in connection with the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

8) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (such earliest date, the “Expiration Time”): (a) the Effective Time; (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms; (c) the date upon which an Adverse Amendment (defined below) is effected; and (d) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 16 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. “Adverse Amendment” means any amendment to the Merger Agreement that is effected, or any waiver of the Company’s or Stockholder’s rights under the Merger Agreement that is granted, in each case, without the Stockholder’s prior written consent, that (i) reduces the Merger Consideration to be received by the stockholders of the Company, (ii) changes the form of Merger Consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company, (iii) could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the timing of payment of the Merger Consideration to the Stockholder, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.1 of the Merger Agreement, (iv) imposes new liabilities and/or obligations of the Stockholders under the Merger Agreement or otherwise amends or modifies the Merger Agreement in a manner adverse in any material respect to the Stockholder, or (v) changes the conditions to Closing or termination rights of the Merger Agreement in a manner that adversely affects the Company in any material respect.

9) No Solicitation. Subject to Section 10, each Stockholder acknowledges that such Stockholder has reviewed Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement and agrees to not, and cause its controlled Affiliates to not, take any action listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 5.2(a) of the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification of such clauses after the date hereof that would impose more burdensome restrictions on such Stockholder). Each Stockholder shall, and shall cause such its controlled Affiliates and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Stockholder’s and such Stockholder’s controlled Affiliates’ Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions and negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal. In addition, each Stockholder agrees to be subject to Section 5.2(d) of the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification of such clause after the date hereof that would impose more burdensome restrictions on such Stockholder) as if such Stockholder were “the Company” thereunder.

10) No Agreement as Director or Officer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in any capacity other than in Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder or Beneficial Owner of the Original Shares, and not in Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and nothing in this Agreement: (a) shall limit or affect any actions taken, inaction or omissions by Stockholder in Stockholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions, inaction or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement; or (b) shall be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict Stockholder from exercising Stockholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director of the Company or the Company’s stockholders.

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

12) Stop Transfer Instructions. At all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Expiration Time, in furtherance of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company or its counsel to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of the Shares), subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order and notice will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company following the Expiration Time.

13) Specific Performance. Each Party hereto acknowledges that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable or invalid, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. The Parties’ rights in this Section 13 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the Parties hereby waives any objections or defenses to any remedy referred to in this Section 13 (including (a) the objection or defense that a remedy at law would be adequate or that an award of such remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity, and (b) any requirement under law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining such relief). For the avoidance of doubt, each Party hereby agrees that there is not an adequate remedy at law for a breach of this Agreement by any Party. The election of any party to pursue an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit such Party from seeking to terminate this Agreement or damages for liability of any Party for any willful breach as provided in Section 8. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief.

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 each of the Parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any Party hereto shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such waiving Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such waiving Party.

15) Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally prior to 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on that day and otherwise on the next Business Day; (b) on the date sent if sent by electronic mail prior to 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) on that day and otherwise on the next Business Day; (c) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier; or (d) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; provided, that in each case of (a) through (d) that any notice given or deemed given on any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been given on the next Business Day.

10


e) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party or such Party waives its rights under this Section 16(e) with respect thereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
