Whereas, in connection with the consummation of the Financing, the Company and the Shareholder have agreed to provide for certain and specific obligations with respect to the future voting of its shares of the Company’s capital stock as set forth below and the Company has agreed to deliver this Agreement.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of these premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Voting.
1.1 Subject Shares.
The Shareholder agrees to hold all shares of voting capital stock of the Company registered in its name or beneficially owned by it as of the date hereof and any and all other securities of the Company legally or beneficially acquired by the Shareholder after the date hereof other than securities purchased in the Financing (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Subject Shares”) subject to, and to vote the Subject Shares in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder may transfer any Subject Shares if the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as provided for in Section 1.4 herein.
1.2 Shareholder Approval. On each and all actions or matters relating to obtaining shareholder approval to permit the full exercise of the Warrants in accordance with applicable listing rules of the NYSE MKT (the “Proposal”), the Shareholder agrees to vote all Subject Shares held by it (or the holder thereof shall consent pursuant to an action by written consent of the holders of capital stock of the Company) to approve the Proposal.
1.3 Legend.
(a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, there shall be imprinted or otherwise placed, on certificates representing the Subject Shares the following restrictive legend (the “Legend”):
| 1. |
“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) The Company agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it will not remove, and will not permit to be removed (upon registration of transfer, reissuance of otherwise), the Legend from any such certificate and will place or cause to be placed the Legend on any new certificate issued to represent Subject Shares theretofore represented by a certificate carrying the Legend. If at any time or from time to time any Investor holds any certificate representing shares of the Company’s capital stock not bearing the aforementioned legend, the Shareholder agrees to deliver such certificate to the Company promptly to have such legend placed on such certificate.
1.4 Successors. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors in interest to any of the Subject Shares. The Company shall not permit the transfer of any of the Subject Shares on its books or issue a new certificate representing any of the Subject 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 an Investor.
1.5 Other Rights. Except as provided by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Shareholder shall exercise the full rights of a holder of capital stock of the Company with respect to the Subject Shares.
1.6 Irrevocable Proxy. To secure the Shareholder’s obligations to vote the Subject Shares in accordance with this Agreement, the Shareholder hereby appoints the Chairman of the Company or its designees, as the Shareholder’s true and lawful proxy and attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, to vote all of the Shareholder’s Subject Shares solely in connection with the Proposal, as set forth in this Agreement and to execute all appropriate instruments consistent with this Agreement on behalf of the Shareholder if, and only if, the Shareholder fails to vote all of the Shareholder’s Subject Shares or execute such other instruments in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement within five (5) days of the Company’s or any other party’s written request for the Shareholder’s written consent or signature. The proxy and power granted by the Shareholder pursuant to this Section are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of such party’s duties under this Agreement. Such proxy and power will be irrevocable for the term hereof. The proxy and power, so long as any party hereto is an individual, will survive the death, incompetency and disability of such party or any other individual holder of the Shares and, so long as any party hereto is an entity, will survive the merger or reorganization of such party or any other entity holding any Subject Shares.
2. Termination.
2.1 This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the date hereof through the earliest of the following dates, on which date it shall terminate in its entirety:
(a) the date of the approval of the Proposal; and

3. Miscellaneous.

The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to a party hereto or to their heirs, personal representatives, or assigns by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable. If any party hereto or his heirs, personal representatives, or assigns institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that such party or such personal representative has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.

It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on any party’s part of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of the Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
