NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
VOTING MATTERS

Section 1.1        Agreement to Vote. The Shareholder hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, at any duly called meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) of the RMT Partner shareholders, and in any other circumstance upon which a vote, consent or other approval (including an action by written consent) is sought from the RMT Partner shareholders, the Shareholder shall, if a meeting is held (including any adjournment or postponement thereof), appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause the Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and it shall vote, consent or approve (or cause to be voted, consented or approved), in person or by proxy, all the Subject Shares (a) in favor of the RMT Partner Share Issuance and any proposal or action presented to effectuate the foregoing; and (b) against any proposal or action to approve any action or agreement that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of RMT Partner or any RMT Partner Subsidiary under the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder agrees that any vote by the Shareholder that is not in accordance with this Section 1.1 shall be considered null and void. The Shareholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person prior to the termination of this Agreement to vote or give instructions in a manner inconsistent with this Section 1.1.

Section 1.2        Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney. Solely in the event of a failure by the Shareholder to act in accordance with the Shareholder’s obligations as to voting pursuant to Section 1.1, the Shareholder hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by Law) grants to and appoints Edward Breen and Erik Hoover (each, an “Attorney”), in their respective capacities as officers of Remainco, and each of them individually, the Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution and resubstitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Shareholder, to represent, vote and exercise all voting and related rights, sign or execute forms of proxy and/or such other deeds or documents (including under seal, if necessary or desirable) and to do such other acts and things as may be necessary (including, without limitation, the power to execute and deliver written consents) with respect to the Subject Shares owned or held by the Shareholder regarding the matters referred to in Section 1.1 and as necessary to give effect to the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.1, to the same extent and with the same effect as the Shareholder might or could do under applicable law, rules and regulations. The proxy granted pursuant to this Section 1.2 is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable to the extent permitted by Law. The Shareholder will take such further action and will execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. The Shareholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney granted with respect to any of the Shareholder’s Subject Shares that may have heretofore been appointed or granted with respect to the matters referred to in this Section 1.2, and no subsequent proxy (whether revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney shall be given by the Shareholder with respect to the matters referred to in this Section 1.2. Any action authorized under this power of attorney may be taken by any such person acting alone. The Shareholder irrevocably undertakes to ratify any act committed in the exercise of the power under Section 1.2 if called upon to do so. The Shareholder undertakes and agrees: (i) to indemnify the Attorney and against all actions, claims, demands, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses and other liabilities whatsoever which

may be made against the Attorney or for which the Attorney may become liable by reason of acting pursuant to this power of attorney; and (ii) that the Attorney shall not be liable to the Shareholder for any loss or damage occurring as a result of any act or omission made by the Attorney by reason of acting pursuant to this power of attorney.

ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SHAREHOLDER

The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Remainco as follows:

Section 2.1        Corporate Existence; Authorization. The Shareholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation and has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to carry out its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and, assuming due execution and delivery by Remainco, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and to general equitable principles.

Section 2.2        No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

(a)       The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder will not, (i) conflict with or violate the certificate of incorporation, limited liability company agreement or equivalent organizational documents of the Shareholder; (ii) conflict with or violate any applicable Law by which any property or asset of the Shareholder is bound or affected; or (iii) result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any Subject Shares (other than pursuant to this Agreement) pursuant to, any mortgage, deed of trust, charge, pledge or other similar obligation (including any trust agreement, voting agreement, shareholders agreement or voting trust), except for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences that would not prevent or materially delay the ability of the Shareholder to carry out its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

(b)      The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder shall not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not prevent or materially delay the ability of the Shareholder to carry out its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement. The approval of the Shareholder’s shareholders is not required to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 2.3        Ownership of Shares. The Shareholder is the registered holder and beneficial owner of the Subject Shares. The Shareholder has no other rights or interests to, or any rights, warrants, convertible securities or options to acquire or subscribe for any shares or other securities of RMT Partner. The Shareholder has sole right to vote all of the Subject Shares

and sole power of disposition with respect to all of the Subject Shares. The Subject Shares are all the securities of RMT Partner owned, either of record or beneficially, and/or controlled by the Shareholder as of the date hereof. The Subject Shares owned by the Shareholder are free and clear of all Liens, other than any Liens created by this Agreement. The Shareholder has not appointed or granted any proxy or power of attorney or delivered any voting instruction forms or other voting documents inconsistent with this Agreement, which appointment, grant or delivery is still effective, with respect to the Subject Shares.

Section 2.4         Reliance. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Remainco is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Section 2.5        No Material Delay. There is no Action pending against or threatened in writing against the Shareholder of any of its Affiliates or Representatives which, if determined or resolved adversely in accordance with the plaintiff’s or claimant’s demands, would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the ability of the Shareholder to perform its obligations hereunder.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3.1 shall prohibit the Shareholder from engaging in customary hedging, securities lending or similar arrangements with respect to the Subject Shares so long as such arrangements do not limit the Shareholder’s ability to comply with its obligations under Article 1.

Section 3.2         Certain Events. The Shareholder agrees with, and covenants to, Remainco that (a) this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Subject Shares and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation the Shareholder’s administrators, successors or receivers and (b) the Shareholder shall not request that RMT Partner register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any or all of the Subject Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement.

Section 3.4         Further Assurances.

(a)        Each of the parties shall execute and deliver any additional certificate, instruments and other documents, and take any additional actions, as the other party reasonably may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out and effectuate the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

(d)       The Shareholder agrees not to take any other action with the knowledge and intent that it would in any way make any representation or warranty of the Shareholder untrue or incorrect in any material respect or otherwise restrict, limit or interfere in any material respect with the performance of the Shareholder’s obligations hereunder.
