8. Required Vote.
(a) Applicability. In the event that the Company receives a bona fide offer to acquire the Company or to acquire all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, in a bona fide transaction, whether by means of a merger, consolidation, sale of stock or assets or otherwise, in a single, simultaneous or related series of transactions (a “Corporate Transaction”) and either:
(i) with respect to a Corporate Transaction offer pursuant to which the proposed purchase price on a per share for a share of Common Stock equivalent (on an As Exchanged Basis) is equal to or exceeds $2.50 per share (subject to adjustment to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or the like on the Common Stock after the date hereof), such Corporate Transaction is approved by (Q) a majority of the Board of Directors, including all of the Preferred Directors; and (R) (i) the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock (on an As Exchanged Basis), voting as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis; and (ii) if the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will receive less than $1.165 per share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series C Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or the like on the Series C Preferred Stock after the date hereof), holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a separate series (together, the “Preferred Proposing Stockholders”); or
(ii) with respect to a Corporate Transaction offer pursuant to which the proposed purchase price on a per share for a share of Common Stock equivalent (on an As Exchanged Basis) is less than $2.50 per share (subject to adjustment to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or the like on the Common Stock after the date
6
hereof), such Corporate Transaction is approved by (X) a majority of the Board of Directors, including all of the Preferred Directors; (Y) the holders of a majority of the Company’s Preferred Stock (on an As Exchanged Basis), voting as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis; and (Z) (i) the holders of at least 66% of the Company’s Common Stock (on an As Exchanged Basis); and (ii) if the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will receive less than $1.165 per share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series C Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or the like on the Series C Preferred Stock after the date hereof), holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a separate series (collectively, the “Proposing Stockholders”),
then the Stockholders (collectively, the “Remaining Holders”) who have not approved the proposed Corporate Transaction approved pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) immediately above (an “Approved Sale”) shall each consent to, vote for and raise no objections to the Approved Sale. If the proposed acquiror is an affiliate of any stockholder of then-outstanding Stock, then this Section 8(a) shall only apply to the Approved Sale if the Approved Sale is also approved by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Stock held of record by holders that are not affiliates of such proposed acquiror. If the Approved Sale will take the form of an asset sale, merger or consolidation, the Remaining Holders shall vote in favor of such transaction and shall waive any appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights in connection with such transaction. If the Approved Sale is structured as a sale of the stock of the Company, each Remaining Holder shall agree to sell all capital stock in the Company then held by such Remaining Holder on the terms and conditions approved by the Preferred Proposing Stockholders of the Proposing Stockholders, as applicable. A Remaining Holder shall have no obligations under this Section 8 to the extent that the terms of the Approved Sale provide that such Remaining Holder would receive less than the amount that would be distributed to such Remaining Holder in the event that the proceeds were distributed in accordance with the Company’s then-current Certificate of Incorporation. All capital stock transferred by the Remaining Holders pursuant to this Section 8 shall be sold at the same price and otherwise treated identically with the capital stock of the same class and series being sold by the Preferred Proposing Stockholders or the Proposing Stockholders, as applicable, in all respects. The Remaining Holders shall each take such actions as may be reasonably required and otherwise cooperate in good faith with the Preferred Proposing Stockholders or the Proposing Stockholders, as applicable, in connection with consummating the Approved Sale, including the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to (i) provide reasonable representations and warranties and other provisions and agreements relating to such Approved Sale and (ii) effectuate the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon the Approved Sale.
(b) Notice of Sale. The Preferred Proposing Stockholders or the Proposing Stockholders, as applicable, shall give the Remaining Holders at least ten days prior written notice of any Approved Sale as to which the Preferred Proposing Stockholders or the Proposing Stockholders, as applicable, intend to exercise their rights under this Section 8.
(c) No Obligation to Vote. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Stockholder or group of Stockholders (the “Offering Stockholders”) shall be a party to any transaction or series of transactions that involves a transfer to any person, persons acting in concert or entity (a “Prospective Acquiror”) of shares of the Company if such sale would result in the Prospective Acquiror, together with its affiliates, holding 50% or more by
7
voting power of all outstanding capital stock of the Company, unless the Prospective Acquiror offers to purchase all of the capital stock of the Company for the same consideration per share (with appropriate adjustment to reflect the conversion of convertible securities and the preference and priorities of any preferred stock) and upon the same terms and conditions for securities of the same type, class and series as are offered to the Offering Stockholder(s).
9. Board Committees. A Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consisting of at least three members shall be established immediately following the Closing and shall include from time to time one of the Telegraph Hill Directors, at Telegraph Hill’s election. The Compensation Committee’s authority and duties shall include determining the compensation (including salary, bonuses and other forms of compensation) to be paid to each of the Company’s executive officers (i.e., vice president level and above) and members of the Board and the administration of (and exercise of any rights or powers under) the Company’s equity incentive plans. An Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consisting of at least three members shall be established immediately following the Closing and may include one or both of the Telegraph Hill Directors, at Telegraph Hill’s election. The Audit Committee’s authority and duties shall be as set forth in the Board’s enabling resolutions adopted in connection with the establishment of such committee.
10. Legend. During the term of this Agreement, each certificate representing shares of capital stock held by parties hereto will bear a legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY AND THE VOTING THEREOF ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN A VOTING AGREEMENT AMONG THE HOLDER (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES), THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN OTHER STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF THE VOTING AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE.”
The Company shall make a notation on its record and give instructions to any transfer agent of such capital stock in order to implement the restrictions and agreements contained in this Agreement.
11. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended and restated from time to time) or (ii) the execution and delivery of a written agreement signed by (A) the Stockholders holding a majority of the Preferred Stock (on an As Exchanged Basis) held by the Stockholders voting as a separate class, on an as-converted to Common Stock basis and (B) the Stockholders holding 66% of the Common Stock (on an As Exchanged Basis) held by the Stockholders, voting as a separate class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis.
12. Remedies.
(a) Irreocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby constitutes and appoints the Secretary and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and each of them, with full power of substitution, as the proxies of the Stockholder with respect to the matters set forth herein, including without limitation, election of persons as members of the Board in accordance with
8
Section 2 of this Agreement and votes regarding any Corporate Transaction of the Company pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, and hereby authorizes each of them to represent and to vote, if and only if the Stockholder attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written consent), or to fail to vote, in a manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, all of such Stockholder’s Stock in favor of the election of persons as members of the Board determined pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or approval of any Corporate Transaction of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement. The proxy granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is given in consideration of the agreements and covenants of the Company and the Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as such, is couples with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 13 hereof. Each Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies with respect to the Stock and shall not hereafter, unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 13 hereof, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Stock, deposit any of the Stock into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of the Stock, in each case, with respect to any of the matters set forth herein.
(b) Remedies Cumulative. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any Stockholder shall be cumulative and not alternative.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Equitable Relief. The parties recognize that the enforcement of this Agreement is necessary to ensure continuity in the management of the Company, and that the ascertainment of damages in the event of its breach would be difficult. The parties therefore agree that, in addition to any other available remedies, the parties shall be entitled to injunctive relief in the event of a breach hereof. This provision is intended to allow the parties hereto to utilize the courts to prevent a vote of the stockholders in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or require a vote of the stockholders in a manner consistent with this Agreement. Nothing contained in Section 13(e) hereof is intended to prevent the granting of injunctive relief hereunder.
(b) Binding Effect. In addition to any restriction or transfer that may be imposed by any other agreement by which any party hereto may be bound, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Stockholders and their respective heirs, successors and assigns; provided that for any such transfer to be deemed effective, the transferee shall have executed and delivered an Adoption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B. Upon the execution and delivery of an Adoption Agreement by any transferee reasonably acceptable to the Company, such transferee shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if such transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages hereto. By their execution hereof or any Adoption Agreement, each of the parties hereto appoints the Company as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any Adoption Agreement which may be required to be delivered hereunder.
(c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
9
(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL AND, BY ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT CONFIRMS THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL.
(e) Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in New York, New York, in accordance with the rules, then obtaining, of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(f) Severability. In the event one or more provisions of this Agreement should for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) (and together with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended from time to time) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the voting in connection with the election or directors and in connection with a Corporate Transaction and any and all other written or oral agreements (including the Prior Agreement) existing between the parties hereto are expressly canceled.
(h) Amendment. This Agreement may be altered, amended, waived or modified at any time only upon approval of such alteration, amendment, waiver or modification (each, an “Amendment”) by written consent of (A) the Stockholders holding at least 66% of the Preferred Stock (on an As Exchanged Basis) held by the Stockholders voting as a separate class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis and (B) the Stockholders holding 66% of the Common Stock (on an As Exchanged Basis) voting as a separate class; provided that no Amendment shall be effective if it would adversely affect Stockholders holding the Series C Preferred Stock without the approval of Stockholders holding a majority of the then outstanding of the Series C Preferred Stock held by Stockholders. The Company shall promptly notify the holders of each class of the Company’s voting stock that an Amendment has been approved in accordance with the terms of this Section 13(h). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may modify Schedule A, Schedule B and Schedule C hereto to update the number of shares set forth next to the name of each Investor, Common Holder and Medical Shareholder upon the exercise of the Put Option or Call Option pursuant to the Put-Call Agreement to reflect the change in ownership of the Company’s securities, and such modifications shall not be deemed an alteration, amendment or modification under this Section 13(h). Furthermore, upon exercise of the Put Option or Call Option pursuant to the Put-Call Agreement, each Medical Shareholder shall automatically become a Common Holder under this Agreement and automatically become subject to the rights and obligations of Common Holders hereunder, and such reclassification of the Medical Shareholder shall not be deemed an alteration, amendment or modification under this Section 13(h).
