SHARES AND VOTING PROXY
1.1. The Shares. Any interest or other voting securities, or the voting rights relating thereto, of the Company, that may be owned, held or subsequently acquired in any manner, legally or beneficially, directly or indirectly, of record or otherwise, by the Shareholder, other than the Shares, at any time during the term of this Agreement as (a) a result of the ownership of the Shares whether issued incident to any split, dividend, conversion, increase in capitalization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other transaction; and (b) any additional voting shares or other voting securities of the Company, or the voting rights relating thereto, that may be owned, held or subsequently acquired in any manner, legally or beneficially, directly or indirectly, of record or otherwise, by the Shareholder from time to time during the Term of this Agreement; shall be included within the term “Shares” as used herein and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
1.2. Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney.
1.2.1 Shareholder, by its entry into this Agreement, hereby constitutes and appoints May, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, during and for the Term, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, for and in the Shareholder’s name, place and stead, to vote or act by written consent with respect to the Shares owned or held by Shareholder as Shareholder’s proxy, and to execute all appropriate instruments consistent with this Agreement on behalf of Shareholder, in all proceedings in which the vote or written consent of the Shareholder may be required or authorized by law during the Term (including, but not limited to actual meetings of the shareholders of the Company and written consents to action) regardless of whether such Shareholder actually attends any applicable meeting or signs any applicable consent, or not (the “Proxy”). Shareholder intends the foregoing Proxy to be, and it shall be, irrevocable and coupled with an interest during the Term. All action to be taken on any question shall be determined by May, or his assigns, in his/their sole discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, Shareholder shall deliver to May a duly executed Irrevocable Voting Proxy, which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A simultaneously with the execution hereof.

1.2.2 The proxy and power granted by such Shareholder pursuant to this Section 1.2 are coupled with an interest. The proxy and power will be irrevocable for the Term hereof, and the vote (or action by written consent) of May (or his assigns), in his capacity as proxyholder, shall control in any conflict between the vote (or action by written consent) of May (or his assigns), in his capacity as proxyholder, with respect to Shareholder’s Shares and the vote (or action by written consent) of each such Shareholder with respect to Shareholder’s Shares.
1.2.3 Shareholder agrees that, except as required under the Company’s organizational documents, as soon as reasonably practicable prior to (i) any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, and (ii) the requested execution of any written consent of the shareholders of the Company, Shareholder shall notify May in writing of such meeting or written consent and, in the case of a meeting, deliver to May any proxy card received by Shareholder relating thereto. May agrees that he shall exercise his duty as proxyholder in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.2.
1.2.4 Shareholder hereby agrees that, except for this Agreement, Shareholder (i) has not entered into, and shall not enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any Shares and (ii) has not granted, and shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to any Shares, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), that would prevent the Shareholder’s compliance with this Agreement.
1.3. Termination. The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the death of May; (b) the written consent of May; or (c) November 3, 2027, unless the term hereof is extended with the mutual consent of the parties (the “Term”).

GENERAL PROVISIONS
4.1. Certificate Legend. Each certificate evidencing Shares held by a Shareholder shall, at the request of May, bear a legend substantially to the following effect (the “Legend”):
“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER CONTAINED IN THE VOTING AGREEMENT, DATED NOVEMBER 3, 2017, BY AND AMONG XXXXXX MAY AND THE SHAREHOLDER LISTED THEREIN (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME), PURSUANT TO WHICH, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE SHAREHOLDER PROVIDED MAY AN IRREVOCABLE VOTING PROXY TO VOTE THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.”
The Legend shall be promptly removed by the Company, with respect to any certificates evidencing Shares, by the delivery of substitute certificates without such Legend, in the event of a Transfer permitted by this Agreement and in which the transferee is not required to be bound by, or become a party to, this Agreement with respect to such Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the Shares are held in uncertificated form, the Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company may cause the Legend required pursuant to this Agreement to be reflected in the records of the transfer agent of the Company and may cause such transfer agent to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.1 relating to the removal of the Legend.

4.2. Proxyholder’s Liability. May, in his capacity as a proxyholder pursuant to Section 1.2, shall not be liable for any error of judgment nor for any act done or omitted, nor for any mistake of fact or law nor for anything which May may do or refrain from doing in good faith in his capacity as a proxyholder, nor shall May have any accountability hereunder, except for his own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Furthermore, upon any judicial or other inquiry or investigation of or concerning May’s acts pursuant to his rights and powers as a proxyholder, such acts shall be deemed reasonable and in the best interests of the Shareholder unless proved to the contrary by clear and convincing evidence. The provisions contained in this Section 4.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement (or any provision hereof).
4.3. Notices. All notices, approvals, consents, requests, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered (i) by personal delivery, or (ii) by national overnight courier service, or (iii) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or (iv) via facsimile transmission, with confirmed receipt, or (v) via email. Notice shall be effective upon receipt except for notice via fax (as discussed above) or email, which shall be effective only when the recipient, by return or reply email or notice delivered by other method provided for in this Section 4.3, acknowledges having received that email (with an automatic “read receipt” or similar notice not constituting an acknowledgement of an email receipt for purposes of this Section 4.3, but which acknowledgement of acceptance shall include cases where recipient ‘replies’ to such prior email, including the body of the prior email in such ‘reply’). Such notices shall be sent to the applicable party or parties at the address specified on the signature page hereof, subject to notice of changes thereof from any party with at least ten (10) business days’ notice to the other parties. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver.
4.4. Counterparts. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party, each other party shall re execute the original form of this Agreement and deliver such form to all other parties. No party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
4.5. Review of Agreement and Representations. Each party herein expressly represents and warrants to all other parties hereto that (a) before executing this Agreement, said party has fully informed itself of the terms, contents, conditions and effects of this Agreement; (b) said party has relied solely and completely upon its own judgment in executing this Agreement; (c) said party has had the opportunity to seek and has obtained the advice of its own legal, tax and business advisors before executing this Agreement; (d) said party has acted voluntarily and of its own free will in executing this Agreement; and (e) this Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations conducted by and among the parties and their respective counsel.

No representation, warranty, inducement, promise, understanding or condition not set forth in this Agreement has been made or relied upon by any of the parties to this Agreement.
4.7. Authority to Enter Into Agreement. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby represents and warrants to the other that it is duly authorized and empowered to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, and that such actions do not conflict with or violate any provision of law, regulation, policy, contract, deed of trust or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound and that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of it enforceable in accordance with its terms. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto and thereto, this Agreement constitutes, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the parties enforceable against each party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.
4.8. Third-Party Beneficiary. Except for the Company’s rights hereunder to reject a Transfer not in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person, firm, corporation or other entity other than the parties hereto any remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any terms or conditions hereof, and all of the terms, conditions, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and the Company, as applicable.
4.9. Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related thereto, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties, whether arising in law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its rules regarding conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.
4.10. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except with respect to Transfers approved under ARTICLE II, the Shareholder may not, directly or indirectly, assign any of their rights or delegate any of his obligations under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of May.

4.11. Submission to Jurisdiction; Service. Each party (a) irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the personal jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas or any Texas State Court sitting in Austin, Texas, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought, tried and determined only in such courts, (d) waives any claim of improper venue or any claim that those courts are an inconvenient forum, and (e) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. The parties to this Agreement agree that the provision of notice in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 4.3 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
4.12. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
4.13. Waiver and Amendment. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed in the case of an amendment, by May and the Shareholder. No failure on the part of a party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
4.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (a) no other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (b) such party has considered and understands the implications of this waiver, (c) such party makes this waiver voluntarily and (d) such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 4.14.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas or any Texas State Court sitting in Austin, Texas, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and the parties to this Agreement hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. The parties agree that they shall not object to the granting of injunctive or other equitable relief on the basis that there exists an adequate remedy at law.

4.19. Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of any issuance of shares of the Company’s voting securities hereafter to Shareholder (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction), such shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the legend set forth above. Wherever in this Agreement (or the Proxy) there is a reference to a specific number of Shares of the equity securities of the Company, then, upon the occurrence of any of foregoing events, the specific number of Shares so referenced in this Agreement (or the Proxy) shall automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the outstanding shares of such class or series of stock by such event.
