1. Agreement to Vote.

(b) Each Class B Shareholder agrees, except in a manner not in direct or indirect contravention or breach of the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document, not to 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 equity interests of PTIC II in connection with any vote or other action with respect to transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document, other than to recommend that the shareholders of PTIC II vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals, including the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby (and any actions required in furtherance thereof and otherwise as expressly provided in this Section 1).
(c) Each Class B Shareholder agrees (i) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable Law (if any) at any time with respect to the Business Combination Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) not to commence or bring in any claim challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement.
(d) In the event of any equity dividend or distribution, or any change in the equity interests of PTIC II by reason of any equity dividend or distribution, equity split, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of equity interests or the like prior to the Closing, the term “Subject PTIC II Equity Securities” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Subject PTIC II Equity Securities as well as all such equity dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Subject PTIC II Equity Securities may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

2. Waiver of Anti-dilution Protection. Each Class B Shareholder hereby (a) waives, subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Closing (for himself, herself or itself and for his, her or its successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the Governing Documents of PTIC II (including pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Governing Documents of PTIC II and any other anti-dilution protections set forth therein) and (b) agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protections (including pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Governing Documents of PTIC II and any other anti-dilution protections set forth therein) with respect to the rate that the PTIC II Class B Shares held by him, her or it convert into PTIC II Class A Shares in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise.

(b) Each Class B Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company is entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon each Class B Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement and but for each such Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, the Company would not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents.

4
(b) Ownership of Subject PTIC II Equity Securities. As of the date hereof, such Class B Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of, and has good and valid title to, all of such Class B Shareholder’s Subject PTIC II Equity Securities (including those set forth across from the Class B Shareholder’s name on Annex A hereto), free and clear of any Lien, or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Subject PTIC II Equity Securities), except (i) transfer restrictions under Securities Laws, (ii) prior to the Closing, the Governing Documents of PTIC II and (iii) this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents. The Class B Shareholder’s Subject PTIC II Equity Securities set forth across from such Class B Shareholder’s name on Annex A attached hereto are the only securities of PTIC II owned of record or beneficially by such Class B Shareholder or such Class B Shareholder’s Affiliates, family members or trusts for the benefit of such Class B Shareholder or any of such Class B Shareholder’s family members on the date of this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth on Annex A with respect to such other Person. As of the date of this Agreement, such Class B Shareholder has the sole right to transfer and direct the voting of such Class B Shareholder’s Subject PTIC II Equity Securities and, other than with respect to the Governing Documents of PTIC II, none of such Class B Shareholder’s Subject PTIC II Equity Securities are subject to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of such Subject PTIC II Equity Securities, except as expressly provided herein for the benefit of PTIC II.
(c) Authority. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Class B Shareholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Class B Shareholder, enforceable against such Class B Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity).

(d) Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Class B Shareholder does not, and the performance by such Class B Shareholder of its obligations hereunder will not (i) result in a violation of applicable Law, except for such violations which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect upon such Class B Shareholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) if such Class B Shareholder is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the governing documents of such Class B Shareholder, (iii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action (including notice of payment or any filing with any Governmental Entity) that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon such Class B Shareholder or the Class B Shareholder’s Subject PTIC II Equity Securities), except for (A) compliance with and filings under the HSR Act, (B) the filing with the SEC of (1) the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement and the declaration of the effectiveness thereof by the SEC and (2) such reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as may be required in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (C) such filings with and approvals of Nasdaq to permit the PTIC II Class A Shares and PTIC II Class B Shares to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents to be listed on Nasdaq, (D) those required in connection with the PTIC II Shareholder Approval or (E) any other consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations, waivers or filings where the failure to obtain such consents or to take such actions would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect upon the ability of such Class B Shareholder to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on such Class B Shareholder’s Subject PTIC II Equity Securities (other than the transfer restrictions under applicable Securities Laws, the Business Combination Agreement and any other Ancillary Documents). There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which such Class B Shareholder is a trustee whose consent is required for either the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by such Class B Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that has not been obtained, except where the failure to obtain such consents or to take such actions would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect upon the ability of such Class B Shareholder to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement.
5
(e) Legal Proceedings. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no Proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of such Class B Shareholder, threatened against such Class B Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, by or before (or that would be by or before) any Governmental Entity or arbitrator that, if determined or resolved adversely in accordance with the plaintiff’s demands, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect upon the ability of such Class B Shareholder to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (a) in no event shall any Insider have any obligations or Liabilities related to or arising out of the covenants, agreements or obligations of any other Insider under this Agreement (including related to or arising out of the breach of any such covenant, agreement or obligation by any other Insider) and (b) in no event shall PTIC II have any obligations or Liabilities related to or arising out of the covenants, agreements or obligations of any Insider under this Agreement (including related to or arising out of any breach of any such covenant, agreement or obligation by such Insider).
6
9. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (a) each Class B Shareholder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in such Class B Shareholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of Subject PTIC II Equity Securities, and not, as applicable, in such Class B Shareholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of PTIC II, (b) each other Insider (other than Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx) makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in such Insider’s capacity as an “insider” for purposes of the Insider Letter Agreement and not, as applicable, in such Insider’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of PTIC II and (c) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by any Insider or any other Person (including any representative of the Sponsor) serving as a member of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of PTIC II or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of PTIC II, in each case, acting in such Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of PTIC II.
10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 3 or Section 8, this Agreement shall be for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any Person, other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever by reason this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall constitute the Parties, partners or participants in a joint venture.
11. Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform his, her or its respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
12. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses; provided, that, any such fees and expenses incurred by the Insiders on or prior to the Effective Time shall, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, be allocated to PTIC II and deemed to be PTIC II Expenses.

All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the applicable PTIC II Class B Shares shall remain vested in and belong to each applicable Class B Shareholder, and the Company and PTIC II (and each of their respective Affiliates) shall have no authority to exercise any power or authority to direct any Insider in the voting of any of the PTIC II Class B Shares owned by him, her or it (if any), except as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to the PTIC II Class B Shares owned by him, her or it (if any). Except as otherwise set forth in Section 1(a), no Class B Shareholder shall be restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any other matters presented to the PTIC II Shareholders.
