Agreement to Vote Shares; Irrevocable Proxy. (a) Potentia agrees that during the term of this Agreement: (i) on any matter submitted for a vote of holders of common stock of Apellis, Potentia will vote (or abstain from voting) the Transaction Shares in the same ratio(s) as the other holders of Apellis common stock vote their shares. For example, if the other holders of Apellis common stock vote 87% in favor of a resolution, 9% against, and 4% abstain, then the Transaction Shares will be voted in the same ratios; (ii) if holders of common stock of Apellis are requested to vote their shares through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any meeting of stockholders of Apellis, Potentia will execute a written consent or consents, only with respect to that percentage of the Transaction Shares equal to the percentage of the shares of Apellis common stock held by the other holders of Apellis common stock for which written consents are executed and delivered. (b) Potentia hereby constitutes and appoints Apellis and any designee of Apellis, and each of them individually, as its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to represent and vote (or act by written consent) during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Transaction Shares in the manner set forth in Section 2(a). This proxy and power of attorney is given in consideration of the agreements and covenants of Apellis and Potentia in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement and, as such, is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Agreement terminates. Potentia shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
