1. Covenant to Vote in Favor of Transactions. Xxxxxx agrees, with respect to all of the Shares (and, in the case of Section 1(b), all of the Securities (as defined below)):
(a) during the Voting Period, at each meeting of CHC Stockholders or any class or series thereof, and in each written consent or resolutions of any of CHC Stockholders in which Holder is entitled to vote or consent, Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to vote (in person or by proxy), or consent to any action by written consent or resolution with respect to, as applicable, the Shares (i) in favor of, and adopt, the Merger, the Transaction Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, any amendments to CHC’s Organizational Documents, and all of the other Transactions (and any actions required in furtherance thereof, including waiving any notice that may have been or may be required relating to the Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement), (ii) in favor of the other matters set forth in the Transaction Agreement, and (iii) to vote the Shares in opposition to: (A) any Acquisition Proposal and any and all other proposals (x) for the acquisition of CHC, (y) that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of CHC to consummate the Merger, the Transaction Agreement or any of the Transactions, or (z) which are in competition with or materially inconsistent with the Transaction Agreement or the Ancillary Documents; (B) other than as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, any material change in (x) the present capitalization of CHC or any amendment of CHC’s Organizational Documents or (y) CHC’s corporate structure or business; or (C) any other action or proposal involving any CHC Company that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect in any material respect the Transactions or would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the Closing under the Transaction Agreement not being fulfilled;
(b) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Merger, the Transaction Agreement, any Ancillary Documents and any of the Transactions, as shall reasonably be requested by CHC, Pubco or Delta in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Section 1, including (i) if applicable, execution and delivery to CHC or other applicable Person of a Letter of Transmittal and the Transmittal Documents, (ii) if applicable, delivery of Holder’s CHC stock certificates, duly endorsed for transfer, to CHC or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, and any similar or related documents and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by CHC, Pubco, Delta or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, (iii) if applicable, delivery of instrument(s) contemplating the conversion or exchange of any other CHC Convertible Securities of Holder, as applicable, for shares of CHC Common Stock (or other similar documentation reasonably requested by CHC, Pubco, Delta or the Exchange Agent), (iv) any actions by written consent of CHC Stockholders presented to Holder, and (v) any applicable Ancillary Documents (including, if applicable, a Lock-Up Agreement and a Non-Competition Agreement), customary instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any consent, waiver, governmental filing, and any similar or related documents;
(c) except for transfers expressly permitted by, and effected in accordance with, Section 3(b), not to deposit, and to cause their Affiliates not to deposit, except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, any Shares owned by Holder or Holder’s Affiliates in a voting trust or subject any Shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Shares, unless specifically requested to do so by CHC, Pubco and Delta in connection with the Transaction Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and/or any of the Transactions;
(d) except as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, make, or in any manner participate in, directly or indirectly, a “solicitation” of “proxies” or consents (as such terms are used in the rules of the SEC) or powers of attorney or similar rights to vote, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of, any shares of CHC capital stock in connection with any vote or other action with respect to the Transactions, other than to recommend that stockholders of CHC vote in favor of adoption of the Transaction Agreement and the Transactions and any other proposal the approval of which is a condition to the obligations of the parties under the Transaction Agreement (and any actions required in furtherance thereof and otherwise as expressly provided by Section 1 of this Agreement); and
(e) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable Law at any time with respect to the Merger, the Transaction Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and/or any of the Transactions, including pursuant to the NRS.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1 shall limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Holder in its capacity as a director or officer of CHC and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Section 1.
2. Grant of Proxy. During the Voting Period, Holder, with respect to all of the Shares, hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Delta and any designee of Delta (determined in Delta’s sole discretion) as Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, for and in Xxxxxx’s name, to vote, or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) any Shares owned (whether beneficially or of record) by Xxxxxx, solely on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 1 above. The proxy granted by Holder pursuant to this Section 2 is irrevocable and is granted in consideration of Delta entering into this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement and incurring certain related fees and expenses. Holder hereby affirms that such irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest by reason of the Transaction Agreement and, except upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6(a), is intended to be irrevocable. Xxxxxx agrees, until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 6(a), to vote its Shares in accordance with Section 1 above. Delta agrees on behalf of itself and its officers to use the irrevocable proxy that is granted by Holder hereby solely to the extent specified in this Section 2 and only in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and that to the extent Delta or its officers use such irrevocable proxy, they will only vote (or sign written consents in respect of) the Shares with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section 1(a).
3. Other Covenants.
(a) No Transfers. Holder agrees that during the Voting Period, Holder shall not, and Holder shall cause Holder’s Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Pubco and Delta, (i) offer for sale, sell (including short sales), transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, a “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any or all of the Securities (as defined below); (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any or all of the Securities; (iii) permit to exist any lien of any nature whatsoever (other than those imposed by this Agreement, applicable securities Laws or CHC’s Organizational Documents, as in effect on the date hereof) with respect to any or all of the Securities; or (iv) take any action that would have the effect of preventing, impeding, interfering with or adversely affecting Holder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. CHC hereby agrees that it shall not permit any Transfer of the Securities in violation of this Agreement. Holder agrees with, and covenants to Pubco and Delta, that Holder shall not request that CHC register the Transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any Security during the term of this Agreement, unless and until Holder shall have complied with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Permitted Transfers. Section 3(a) shall not prohibit a Transfer of Shares by Holder (i) if Holder is an individual, to any immediate family member or trust for the benefit of any immediate family member, (ii) if Holder is an entity, to any stockholder, member or partner of Holder, (iii) to any Affiliate of Holder, or (iv) to any Person if and to the extent required by any non-consensual Order, by divorce decree or by will, intestacy or other similar applicable Law, so long as, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and executes and delivers to the parties hereto a written consent and joinder memorializing such agreement to be so bound. During the term of this Agreement, CHC shall not register or otherwise recognize the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any Shares or any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of Holder’s Shares, except as permitted by, and in accordance with, this Section 3(b).
(c) Changes to Securities. In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the shares of capital stock of CHC by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, stock split, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Securities” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Securities as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Securities may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction. Xxxxxx agrees during the Voting Period to notify Pubco, Delta and CHC promptly in writing of the number and type of any changes to Holder’s ownership of or voting control with respect to Securities, upon Xxxxxx’s acquisition or commitment to acquire any additional Securities or upon any other changes involving Holder relating to capital stock or securities convertible or exercisable for capital stock of CHC.
(d) Compliance with Transaction Agreement. During the Voting Period, Xxxxxx agrees not to take or agree or commit to take any action that knowingly would make any representation and warranty of Holder contained in this Agreement inaccurate in any material respect. Holder further agrees that Holder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Delta to effect the Merger, all other Transactions, the Transaction Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) Registration Statement. During the Voting Period, Xxxxxx agrees to provide to Delta, CHC and their respective Representatives any information regarding Holder or the Securities that is reasonably requested by Delta, CHC or their respective Representatives for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
(f) Publicity. Holder shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the Transactions or the transactions contemplated herein or in the Transaction Agreement without the prior written approval of CHC, Pubco and Delta, other than as required by the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws, in which case, Holder shall provide a reasonable opportunity for CHC, Pubco and Delta to review and comment on such public statements. Holder hereby authorizes CHC, Pubco and Delta to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC, Nasdaq or the Registration Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC in connection with the foregoing), Holder’s identity and ownership of the Securities and the nature of Holder’s commitments and agreements under this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement and any other Ancillary Documents.
4. No Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Holder shall not be limited or restricted in any way from taking any action (or failing to take any action) in good faith in his capacity as a director or officer of CHC (including to the extent permitted by the Transaction Agreement), or in the exercise of his fiduciary duties in his capacity as a director or officer of CHC, and no action taken in good faith in any such capacity as an officer or director of CHC shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided, that any action so taken or omitted shall not relieve Xxxxxx from his obligations hereunder. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Holder, and, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Holder shall not be limited or restricted in any way from voting in his sole discretion on any matter other than the matters referred to in Section 1(a) hereof.
5. Representations and Warranties of Holder. Holder hereby represents and warrants to Pubco, CHC and Delta as follows:
(a) Binding Agreement. Holder (i) if a natural person, is of legal age to execute this Agreement and is legally competent to do so and (ii) if not a natural person, is (A) a corporation, limited liability company, company or partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and (B) has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform Holder’s obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If Xxxxxx is not a natural person, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Xxxxxx have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability or partnership action, as applicable, on the part of Holder. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Holder, enforceable against Holder 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 creditor’s rights, and to general equitable principles). Xxxxxx understands and acknowledges that each of Pubco and Delta is entering into the Transaction Agreement in reliance upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Xxxxxx.
(b) Ownership of Securities. As of the date hereof, Xxxxxx has beneficial ownership over the type and number of the Shares and, to the extent applicable, the other securities issued by CHC set forth under Xxxxxx’s name on the signature page hereto (collectively, the “Securities”), is the lawful owner of such Securities, has the sole power to vote or cause to be voted such Securities (to the extent such Securities have associated voting rights), and has good and valid title to such Securities, free and clear of any and all pledges, mortgages, encumbrances, charges, proxies, voting agreements, liens, adverse claims, options, security interests and demands of any nature or kind whatsoever, other than those imposed by this Agreement, applicable securities laws or CHC’s Organizational Documents, as in effect on the date hereof. There are no claims for finder’s fees or brokerage commission or other like payments in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby payable by Holder pursuant to arrangements made by Xxxxxx. Except for the Shares and other securities of CHC set forth under Xxxxxx’s name on the signature page hereto, as of the date of this Agreement, Holder is not a beneficial owner or record holder of any: (i) equity securities of CHC, (ii) securities of CHC having the right to vote on any matters on which the holders of equity securities of CHC may vote or which are convertible into or exchangeable for, at any time, equity securities of CHC or (iii) options, warrants or other rights to acquire from CHC any equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities of CHC.
(c) No Conflicts. No filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Authority, and no consent, approval, authorization or permit of any other person is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by Xxxxxx, the performance of Xxxxxx’s obligations hereunder or the consummation by Xxxxxx of the transactions contemplated hereby. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Xxxxxx, the performance of Xxxxxx’s obligations hereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby shall (i) conflict with or result in any breach of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other comparable organizational documents of Holder, as applicable, (ii) result in, or give rise to, a violation or breach of or a default under any of the terms of any agreement, contract, obligation or other arrangement to which Holder is a party or by which Holder or any of the Securities or Holder’s other assets may be bound, or (iii) violate any applicable Law or Order, except for any of the foregoing in clauses (i) through (iii) as would not reasonably be expected to impair Holder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
(d) No Inconsistent Agreements. Holder hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, Holder (i) has not entered into, nor will enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Securities inconsistent with Holder’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) has not granted, nor will grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, a consent or power of attorney with respect to the Securities, and (iii) has not entered into any agreement or knowingly taken any action (nor will enter into any agreement or knowingly take any action) that would make any representation or warranty of Holder contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing Holder from performing any of Holder’s material obligations under this Agreement.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and none of Pubco, Delta, CHC, or Holder shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the mutual written consent of each of Pubco, Delta, CHC, and Holder, (ii) the Effective Time (following the performance of the obligations of the parties hereunder required to be performed at or prior to the Effective Time), and (iii) the date of termination of the Transaction Agreement in accordance with its terms. The termination of this Agreement shall not prevent any party hereunder from seeking any remedies (at law or in equity) against another party hereto or relieve such party from liability for such party’s breach of any terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 6(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and may not be assigned, transferred or delegated by Holder at any time without the prior written consent of Pubco, CHC and Delta, and any purported assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void ab initio. Each of Pubco, CHC and Delta may freely assign any or all of its respective rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) or Affiliate without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder or any other party.
(c) Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions, express or implied, contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any Person that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Xxx.

No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

Accordingly, each party shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(l) No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship among Holder, Pubco, CHC and Delta, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship among the parties hereto or among any other CHC stockholders entering into voting agreements with CHC, Pubco or Delta.
