“(a) As promptly as practicable after the Proxy Statement is prepared and Battery has mailed (or otherwise made electronically available) the Proxy Statement to Battery’s stockholders, Battery shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and the Battery Organizational Documents, all action reasonably necessary to convene the Battery Stockholders’ Meeting to consider and vote upon the approval of the Transaction, to cause such vote to be taken and to obtain the Battery Statutory Stockholder Approval and the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Battery Common Stock (other than any shares of Battery Common Stock beneficially owned by the Harbinger Parties, excluding the “Letter Agreement Shares” as such term is defined in the Letter Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2010, by and among the Harbinger Parties and Battery) outstanding and entitled to vote thereon (such approval together with the Battery Statutory Stockholder Approval, the “Battery Stockholder Approval”).
