WHEREAS, Clinical Data and Icoria are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended or supplemented, the “Merger Agreement”) (terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement) with respect to the merger of a subsidiary of Clinical Data with and into Icoria, as a result of which Icoria shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Clinical Data (the “Merger”); and

 

WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Clinical Data has required that the Stockholders enter into this Agreement whereby each Stockholder commits to cause the Subject Common Shares over which such Stockholder has sole voting power, and to use his or its best efforts to cause the Subject Common Shares over which such Stockholder has joint voting power, to be voted in favor of approving the Merger Agreement, the Merger and each of the other transactions and other matters specifically contemplated by the Merger Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

Any vote by such Stockholder that is not in accordance with this Section 1.1 shall be considered null and void.
