WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of, and has the sole power to vote (or to direct the voting of) the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of the Company set forth opposite the Stockholder’s name on Schedule I hereto (such Common Shares, together with any other shares of the Company that are acquired by the Stockholder after the date hereof, the “Subject Shares”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company and certain purchasers (each, a “Purchaser” and together, the “Purchasers”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchasers have agreed to purchase, and the Company has agreed to sell, an aggregate of $1,500,000 in Common Shares of the Company;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and certain additional investors entered into an Exchange Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which such investors have agreed to exchange certain warrants held by such investor for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement requires (i) the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast at a duly called meeting of the holders of a majority in voting power of the Company’s voting stock entitled to vote thereon pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) and (ii) the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date to increase the Company’s authorized shares;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Stockholder have agreed that the voting power of the Subject Shares will be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement from the date hereof through the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (such period, the “Voting Period”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Stockholder have agreed that the Stockholder will not transfer the Subject Shares from the date hereof through the earlier of (a) the initial record date set for the matters specified in Section 2.1 hereof or (b) March 31, 2020 (such period, the “Restricted Period”); and

 

WHEREAS, as an inducement to each Purchaser’s willingness to enter into the Purchase Agreement and the Exchange Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, transactions from which the Stockholder believes it will each derive substantial benefits through its ownership interests in the Company, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

VOTING AGREEMENT

 

Section 2.1     Agreement to Vote. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the Voting Period, such Stockholder shall, if a meeting of stockholders of the Company is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and vote (or cause to be voted), and if an action is to be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting, provide a written consent, in respect of all its Subject Shares, in each case (i) in favor of (A) any proposal to adopt and approve or reapprove the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (B) waiving any notice requirements applicable to the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents or applicable law, and (ii) against (X) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Exchange Agreement and (Y) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that is intended or 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 Purchase Agreement or Exchange Agreement or the Stockholder under this Agreement.

 

Section 2.2     Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. If requested by the Company, each Stockholder shall appoint a designee selected by the Company, as such Stockholder’s proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote during the Voting Period with respect to any and all of the Subject Shares on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 2.1. Each Stockholder shall take all further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of any such proxy. Each Stockholder affirms that any irrevocable proxy given by it with respect to the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be given to the Company’s designee by such Stockholder to secure the performance of the obligations of such Stockholder under this Agreement. It is agreed that the Company’s designee (and its officers on behalf of the Company) will use the irrevocable proxy that may be granted by the Stockholder only in accordance with applicable law and that, to the extent the Company’s designee (and its officers on behalf of the Company) uses any such irrevocable proxy, it will only vote the Subject Shares subject to such irrevocable proxy with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section 2.1.

 

Section 2.3     Nature of Irrevocable Proxy. Any proxy granted pursuant to Section 2.2 to the Company’s designee by a 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 or powers of attorney granted by such Stockholder and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent executed (and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by such Stockholder with respect thereto. Any proxy that may be granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, but shall survive the death or incapacity of such Stockholder and any obligation of such Stockholder under this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives and successors of such Stockholder.

 

ARTICLE III

 

COVENANTS

 

Section 3.1     Subject Shares.

 

(a)       Each Stockholder agrees that during the Restricted Period, it shall not, and shall not commit or agree to, without the Company’s prior written consent, (i) directly or indirectly, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, offer for sale, sell (including short sales), transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift or by operation of law) (collectively, a “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement, through the granting of any proxies or powers of attorney, in connection with a voting trust or voting agreement or by operation of Law) with respect to, or consent to or permit, a Transfer of, any or all of the Subject Shares or any interest therein or (ii) take any action inconsistent with this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including by granting of any proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Subject Shares (other than the proxy contemplated by Section 2.2) or agreeing to divest itself of the voting power with respect to its Subject Shares or vote its Subject Shares on any matter in a manner that would be inconsistent with its obligations under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3(a) shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Subject Shares by the Stockholder to an Affiliate of the 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 the Company, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement. Each Stockholder agrees that any Transfer of Subject Shares not permitted hereby shall be null and void and that any such prohibited Transfer shall be enjoined. If any involuntary transfer of any Subject Shares covered hereby shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by any Stockholder’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.

(b)       In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Subject Shares by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Subject Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Subject Shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Subject Shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction. Each Stockholder further agrees that, in the event such Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial or record ownership of or an interest in, or acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of, any additional Common Shares, in each case after the execution of this Agreement, then any such additional Common Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including all covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties set forth herein as if those additional shares were owned by such Stockholder on the date of this Agreement.

 

Section 3.2     Capacity. All agreements and understandings made herein shall be made solely in each Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Subject Shares and not in any other capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that if a Stockholder has a nominee or Affiliate on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), the parties agree that (i) such nominee or Affiliate of such Stockholder on the Board (each, a “Stockholder Designee”) shall be free to act in his/her capacity as a director of the Company solely in accordance with his/her duties to the Company and its stockholders, (ii) nothing herein shall prohibit or restrict any Stockholder Designee from taking any action (or omitting to take any action) in facilitation of the exercise of his/her fiduciary duties pursuant to and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement or otherwise and (iii) no action taken by a Stockholder Designee or the omission by a Stockholder Designee to take any action, acting in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, shall be deemed to be a breach by such Stockholder of this Agreement..

 

Section 3.3     [Reserved]

 

Section 3.4     Communications. During the Voting Period, each Stockholder shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its representatives, if any, not to, make any press release, public announcement or other public communication that criticizes or disparages this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, without the prior written consent of the Company, provided that the foregoing shall not limit or affect any actions taken by such Stockholder that would be permitted to be taken by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement or Exchange Agreement, or any Affiliate of such Stockholder who is a director, officer or employee of the Company from taking any action in his or her capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company, including making any filings with the SEC in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Each Stockholder hereby consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by the Company in any publicly filed documents relating to the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby of: (a) such Stockholder’s identity; (b) such Stockholder’s ownership of the Subject Shares; and (c) the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, and any other information that the Company reasonably determines to be necessary in any SEC disclosure document in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement or any transactions contemplated thereby.

 

Section 3.5     Voting Trusts. Each Stockholder agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any entity under its control to, deposit any of its Subject Shares in a voting trust or subject any of its Subject Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares other than as provided herein.
