AGREEMENT TO VOTE
SECTION 3.1 Agreement to Vote Common Stock. Commencing on the date of this Agreement and unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 6.1, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the election of nominees to the Board, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought with respect to the election of nominees to the Board, each Management Investor, in his capacity as a Beneficial Owner of Common Stock, shall appear at the meeting or otherwise cause Common Stock that he Beneficially Owns (including any Common Stock acquired after the date hereof) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum and agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) any and all of such Common Stock or give consent with respect thereto, or cause consent to be given with respect thereto, in favor of the election to the Board of the nominee(s) designated by the Investor in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof; and the Investor in its capacity as a Beneficial Owner of Common Stock, shall appear at the meeting or otherwise cause Common Stock that it Beneficially Owns (including any Common Stock acquired after the date hereof) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum and agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) any and all of such Common Stock or give consent with respect thereto, or cause consent to be given with respect thereto, in favor of the election to the Board of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx.

ARTICLE IV
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
SECTION 4.1 Sale of New Securities. Subject to Section 4.6, in connection with any public or non-public offering of New Securities by the Company following the consummation of the IPO, the Company hereby grants the Investor a preemptive right to acquire from the Company, for the same price offered to investors in such public or non-public offering and otherwise on the same terms as such New Securities are proposed to be offered to such investors, up to a number of New Securities equal to its then-proportionate share (based on its percentage of Beneficial Ownership of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis) of such New Securities. The number of New Securities that the Investor shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (x) the total number of such offered New Securities by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Investor immediately prior to the issuance of such offered New Securities, on a fully-diluted basis, assuming full exercise and/or conversion of the Company’s securities exercisable and/or convertible into the Common Stock, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, on a fully-diluted basis, assuming full exercise and/or conversion of the Company’s securities exercisable and/or convertible into the Common Stock.
SECTION 4.2 Notice. Subject to Section 4.6, in the event the Company proposes to offer New Securities, it shall give the Investor prior written notice of its intention, describing the price (or range of prices), anticipated amount of New Securities, timing and other terms upon which the Company proposes to offer the same to investors in such public or non-public offering, no later than five (5) days prior to the commencement of such offer or sale, as the case may be. The Investor shall have five (5) days from the date of receipt of such a notice to notify the Company in writing the extent, if any, to which it intends to exercise such purchase rights and as to the number of New Securities the Investor desires to purchase. Such notice shall constitute a non-binding indication of interest of the Investor to purchase the number of New Securities so specified at the price to investors and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. Subject to Section 4.6, the failure of the Investor to respond within such five (5) day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Investor’s rights under this Article IV only with respect to the offering described in the applicable notice.
SECTION 4.3 Purchase Mechanism. If the Investor exercises its preemptive rights provided in this Article IV, the closing of the purchase of the New Securities with respect to which such right has been exercised shall take place simultaneously with the closing of such offering to other investors. Each of the Company and the Investor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure any regulatory or other consents or stockholder approval, and to comply with any law or regulation necessary in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of such New Securities.
SECTION 4.4 Failure of Purchase. In the event the Investor fails to exercise its preemptive rights provided in this Article IV within the prescribed period, the Company shall thereafter be entitled during the period of sixty (60) days following the conclusion of the applicable period to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of the New Securities covered thereby shall be consummated, if at all, within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement) to sell the New Securities not elected to be purchased pursuant to this Article IV, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers of such securities than were specified in the Company’s notice to the Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such sale is subject to the receipt of any regulatory or other consents, stockholder approval or the expiration of any waiting period, the time period during which such sale may be consummated shall be extended until the expiration of five (5) business days after all such approvals or consents have been obtained or waiting periods expired, but in no event shall such time period exceed 180 days from the date of the applicable agreement with respect to such sale. Subject to Section 4.6, in the event the Company has not sold the New Securities or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities within said 60-day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement (as such period may be extended in the manner described above for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date of said agreement)), the proposed offering of New Securities shall be considered a failed offering (“Failed Offering”) and the Company shall not thereafter offer, issue or sell such New Securities without first offering such securities to the Investor in the manner provided above.
SECTION 4.5 Cooperation. The Company and the Investor shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the Investor’s rights hereunder, including securing any required approvals or consents.
SECTION 4.6 Termination of Preemptive Rights. The preemptive rights set forth in this Article IV shall terminate and be of no further effect upon the date on which the Investor has failed to (i) exercise its preemptive rights provided in this Article IV within the prescribed period or (ii) consummate a purchase for which it has exercised its preemptive rights pursuant to Section 4.2 above within the time period specified in Section 4.3 above; provided, however, that a failure by the Investor to exercise its preemptive rights or consummate a purchase for which it has exercised its preemptive rights shall not result in a termination of the Investor’s preemptive rights set forth in this Article IV in the event the offering to which the Investor’s failure relates is a Failed Offering.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the transactions contemplated in this Agreement have been disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement and that a form of this Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the IPO Registration Statement. The parties hereto agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.2 and that in addition to all other remedies the Investor may be entitled to under this Agreement or applicable law (which the Investor does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), the Investor shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.2 and the parties hereby waive any requirement for the showing of any actual monetary damages in connection with seeking such relief.

SECTION 6.1 Term. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the later of (i) the date on which the Investor ceases to Beneficially Own shares of stock representing 5.0% or more of the outstanding Common Stock and (ii) the termination of the Investor Affiliate’s right to receive a share of the revenues described in the Revenue Letter Agreement.
SECTION 6.2 Survival. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect; provided, however, that Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue so long as the Investor Beneficially Owns any Common Stock.
