This VOTING AGREEMENT, dated as of February 20, 2002 (this
"Agreement"), by and among Legato Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Legato"), and the undersigned stockholders (each a "Stockholder" and
collectively, the "Stockholders") of OTG Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company").
RECITALS
A. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Legato, Orion
Acquisition Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned
subsidiary of Legato ("Merger Sub"), and the Company are entering into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), which provides for the
merger of the Company and Merger Sub, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Merger Agreement (the "Merger"). Unless otherwise indicated,
capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the
Merger Agreement.
B. Each Stockholder is the record holder and beneficial owner of such
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as is indicated on the final
pages of this Agreement (collectively, the "Shares").
C. As a material inducement to enter into the Merger Agreement and to
consummate the Merger, Legato desires each Stockholder to agree, and each
Stockholder is willing to agree to vote the Shares and any other such shares of
capital stock of the Company acquired by such Stockholder so as to facilitate
consummation of the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Voting of Shares.
-----------------
Section 1.1 Voting Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
----------------
Agreement, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with
respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement
thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders
of the Company with respect to any of the following, each Stockholder shall vote
or cause (including by the Proxy, as hereinafter defined) to be voted the Shares
and any New Shares (as defined herein) (x) in favor of (i) approval and adoption
of the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby and by this
Agreement, and the Merger and any action in furtherance thereof, (ii) waiving
any notice that may have been or may be required relating to any reorganization
of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of
the Company or any sale of assets, change of control, or acquisition of the
Company by any other person, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with
or into any other person to the extent such transaction is undertaken in
connection with the Merger, and (iii) any matter that could reasonably be
expected to facilitate the Merger and (y) against any matter that could
reasonably be expected to hinder, impede or delay the consummation of the Merger
or materially adversely affect the Merger and the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the Merger Agreement. Stockholder shall not, from the date of
this Voting Agreement until the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), enter
into any
agreement or understanding with any Person to vote (other than the Proxy granted
in connection herewith) or give instructions inconsistent with clause "(x)" or
"(y)" of the preceding sentence.
Section 1.2 Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement:
-----
(i) each Stockholder shall deliver to Legato a proxy in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A, which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permitted by law,
---------
with respect to the shares referred to therein (the "Proxy"); and (ii) each
Stockholder shall cause to be delivered to Legato an additional proxy (in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A) executed on behalf of the record owner of any
---------
Shares that are owned beneficially (but are not owned of record) by such
Stockholder.
Section 1.3 New Shares. (a) Each Stockholder agrees that any shares of
----------
capital stock of the Company that (i) such Stockholder holds of record and owns
beneficially on the date hereof and should have listed on final page of this
Agreement (excluding an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares of Company Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholders, as of the date hereof, and not
listed on the final pages of this Agreement), or (ii) purchases or with respect
to which such Stockholder otherwise acquires record or beneficial ownership
after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date (the
foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) together "New Shares") shall be subject to the
----------
terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted
Shares.
(b) After the execution of this Agreement until the Expiration Date, each
Stockholder shall execute or cause to be executed such further proxies as may be
requested by Legato with respect to any New Shares of which such Stockholder
acquires or discovers beneficial ownership, and such Stockholder shall promptly
notify Legato upon acquiring or discovering beneficial ownership of any
additional securities of the Company.
2. Transfer of Shares.
------------------
Section 2.1 No Disposition or Encumbrance of Shares. Each Stockholder
---------------------------------------
covenants and agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the Expiration
Date, such Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly: (i) offer, sell, offer
to sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise
dispose of or transfer (or permit or announce any offer, sale, offer of sale,
contract of sale or grant of any option for the purchase of, or permit or
announce any other disposition or transfer of) any of the Shares, or any
interest in any of the Shares, to any Person other than Legato; (ii) create or
permit to exist any encumbrance on or otherwise affecting any of the Shares; or
(iii) reduce such Stockholder's beneficial ownership of, interest in or risk
relating to any of the Shares.
Section 2.2 Transfer of Voting Rights. Each Stockholder covenants and
-------------------------
agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the Expiration Date, such
Stockholder will not deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or grant a
proxy (other than the Proxy granted in connection herewith) or enter into a
voting agreement or similar contract with respect to any of the Shares.
3. Waiver of Appraisal Rights. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and
--------------------------
unconditionally waives any rights of appraisal, dissenters' rights or similar
rights that such Stockholder may have in connection with the Merger. Each
Stockholder shall cause to be irrevocably and
2
unconditionally waived any such rights that any affiliate of such Stockholder
may have in connection with the Merger.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder.
-------------------------------------------------
Section 4.1 Ownership of Shares. Each Stockholder represents and warrants
-------------------
that such Stockholder (i) is the record and beneficial owner of and has the sole
right to vote the Shares, which at the date hereof are free and clear of any
liens, claims, options, charges or other encumbrances and (ii) does not own,
either beneficially or of record, any shares of capital stock of the Company
other than the Shares (excluding an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares of Company
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholders, as of the date hereof, and
not listed on the final pages of this Agreement).
Section 4.2 No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
-----------
Proxy by Stockholder do not, and the performance of this Agreement and the Proxy
by Stockholder will not: (i) conflict with or violate any legal requirement,
order, decree or judgment applicable to Stockholder or by which Stockholder or
any of Stockholder's properties is bound or affected; or (ii) result in any
breach of or constitute a default (with notice or lapse of time, or both) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, or result in the creation of an encumbrance on or otherwise
affecting any of the Shares pursuant to, any contract to which Stockholder is a
party or by which Stockholder or any of Stockholder's properties is bound or
affected. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Proxy by
Stockholder do not, and the performance of his obligations under this Agreement
and the granting of the Proxy by Stockholder will not, require any consent of
any Person.
Section 4.3 Power; Enforceability. Each Stockholder has the legal capacity,
---------------------
power and authority to enter into and perform all of such Stockholder's
obligations under this Agreement. Each Stockholder has all requisite power and
capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Proxy and to perform his
obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and the Proxy have been
duly executed and delivered by each Stockholder and assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery by Legato, constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligations of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in
accordance with their respective terms, subject to (i) laws of general
application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and
(ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other
equitable remedies. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust
certificate or other interest of any trust of which such Stockholder is trustee
whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 4.4 Continuous Warranty. The representations and warranties contained
-------------------
in this Voting Agreement are accurate in all respects as of the date of this
Agreement, will be accurate in all respects at all times through the Expiration
Date and will be accurate in all respects as of the date of the consummation of
the Merger as if made on that date.
Section 4.5 No Other Proxy. Each Stockholder represents that any proxies
--------------
heretofore given in respect of the Shares, if any, are not irrevocable, and that
such proxies (other than the Proxy) are hereby revoked.
3
5. Covenants of Stockholder. Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees to
------------------------
cooperate fully with Legato and to execute and deliver any additional documents
necessary or desirable and to take such further actions, that in the reasonable
opinion of Legato may be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
6. Consent and Waiver. Each Stockholder hereby gives any consents or waivers
------------------
that are reasonably required for the consummation of the Merger under the terms
of (a) any agreements between such Stockholder and the Company or (b) pursuant
to any other rights such Stockholder may have.
7. Termination. This Agreement and any Proxy granted in connection herewith
-----------
shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect upon the earlier of
(i) the date of the Effective Time of the Merger and (ii) the date the Merger
Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. Such termination date of
this Agreement is referred to herein as the "Expiration Date."
8. No Restraint on Director Action. This Agreement is intended to bind each
-------------------------------
Stockholder only with respect to the specific matters set forth herein, and
shall not prohibit any Stockholder from acting in accordance with his fiduciary
duties as an officer or director of the Company. Each Stockholder will retain at
all times the right to vote such Stockholder's Shares, in such Stockholder's
sole discretion, on all matters other than those set forth in Section 1.1 which
are at any time or from time to time presented to the Company's stockholders
generally.
9. Miscellaneous.
-------------
Section 9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. None of
------------------------------------------------------
the representations, warranties and agreements made by any Stockholder in this
Agreement shall survive the Expiration Date; provided, however that the
termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for
any breach of this Agreement.
Section 9.2 Indemnification. Without in any way limiting any of the rights or
---------------
remedies otherwise available to Legato, each Stockholder, jointly but not
severally, shall hold harmless and indemnify Legato from and against, and shall
compensate and reimburse Legato for, any loss, damage, injury, decline in value,
lost opportunity, liability, exposure, claim, demand, settlement, judgment,
award, fine, penalty, tax, fee, charge, cost or expense of any nature (whether
or not relating to a third party claim) which is directly or indirectly suffered
or incurred at any time by Legato or any of Legato's affiliates or to which
Legato or any of Legato's affiliates otherwise becomes subject and that arises
from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
obligation of such Stockholder contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 9.2 shall expire and be null and void with respect to a
Stockholder upon such Stockholder's delivery to Legato of (a) a copy of such
Stockholder's Shares bearing the legends referenced in Section 9.15 hereof,
which legends shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Legato,
(b) with respect to Shares held in a street name or a brokerage account,
acknowledgement from such entity that Legato is entitled to vote such
Stockholder's Shares as provided in this Agreement and the Proxy and (c) such
other evidence as Legato may reasonably request to demonstrate that Legato has
perfected its voting rights provided in this Agreement and the Proxy with
respect to such Stockholder's Shares.
4
Section 9.3 Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
--------
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring
such costs and expenses; provided however that legal fees incurred by the
Stockholders in connection with this Agreement may be reimbursed by the Company.
Section 9.4 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
------------
this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void
or unenforceable, then the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
Section 9.5 Binding Effect and 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 successors and permitted assigns, but, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests or obligations of the parties hereto may be assigned by either
of the parties hereto without prior written consent of the other party hereto.
Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth in Section 2 or elsewhere in
this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon any person to whom any
Shares are transferred. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to
confer on any Person, other than Legato and its successors and assigns, any
rights or remedies of any nature.
Section 9.6 Amendments and Modification. This Agreement may not be modified,
---------------------------
amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a
written agreement executed by the parties hereto.
Section 9.7 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto
---------------------------------------
acknowledge that Legato will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no
adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements of
the Stockholders set forth herein. Therefore, it is agreed that, in addition to
any other remedies that may be available to Legato upon any such violation,
Legato shall have the right to enforce such covenants and agreements by specific
performance, injunctive relief or by any other means available to Legato at law
or in equity.
