WHEREAS, each Shareholder desires to support the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
VOTING; GRANT AND APPOINTMENT OF PROXY; RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
Section 1.1 Voting. From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, each Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally hereby agrees that at any meeting (whether annual or special and each adjourned or postponed meeting) of Voyager’s shareholders, however called, or in connection with any action of Voyager shareholders by written resolution or consent in lieu of such meeting, such Shareholder will (i) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all of its Shares, which it owns as of the applicable record date, to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written resolution or consent, if applicable) all such Shares (A) in favor of the approval of the Merger and in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, (B) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of Voyager’s shareholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve any of the matters under clause (A) above, (C) in favor of any proposal that the Board of Directors of Voyager has (x) determined is required to facilitate the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (y) recommended to be adopted by the Voyager shareholders, and (D) against (x) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (1) result in any condition to the consummation of the Merger or the conditions set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement not being
fulfilled or (2) prevent, materially impede or materially delay Voyager’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (y) any merger or agreement constituting a Voyager Acquisition Proposal, other than the Transactions (clauses (A) through (D), the “Required Votes”).
Section 1.2 Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of Proxy.
(a) From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, each Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants to, and appoints, Spinco and any designee thereof as such Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Shareholder, to vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) the Shares owned by such Shareholder as of the applicable record date in accordance with the Required Votes; provided that each Shareholder’s grant of the proxy contemplated by this Section 1.2 shall be effective if, and only if, such Shareholder has not delivered to Spinco prior to the meeting at which any of the matters described in Section 1.1 are to be considered a duly executed irrevocable instrument directing that the Shares of such Shareholder be voted in accordance with the Required Votes.
(b) Each Shareholder hereby revokes any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Shares.
(c) Each Shareholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 1.2, if it becomes effective, is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Shareholder under this Agreement. The parties hereby further affirm that the irrevocable proxy, if it becomes effective, is coupled with an interest and is intended to be irrevocable until the Expiration Date, at which time it will terminate automatically. If for any reason any proxy granted herein is not irrevocable after it becomes effective, then the Shareholder granting such proxy agrees, until the Expiration Date, to vote its Shares in accordance with the Required Votes. The parties agree that the foregoing is a voting agreement.
Section 1.3 Restrictions on Transfers.
(a) Each Shareholder hereby agrees that from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, it shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, assign, tender in any tender or exchange offer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or similarly dispose of (by merger, amalgamation, operation of law or otherwise) (a “Transfer”), either voluntarily or involuntarily, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding providing for the Transfer of, any Shares, other than (A) any Transfer to an Affiliate of such Shareholder, but only if, prior to the effectiveness of such Transfer, the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the applicable terms hereof (unless such transferee is a Shareholder or is party to another voting and support agreement with Harbor and Voyager, the terms of which are consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement), including for the purposes of Section 1.3(b), or (B) a Transfer pursuant to any trust or will of such Shareholder or by the Laws of intestate succession, (ii) deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting and support agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, or (iii) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions prohibited by the foregoing clause (i) or (ii). Any purported Transfer of Shares inconsistent with this Section 1.3 shall be null and void, and Voyager shall refuse to recognize any such Transfer for any purpose and shall not, and shall cause Voyager’s corporate secretary not to, reflect in its records any change in record ownership of Shares pursuant to any such Transfer.

(b) Each Shareholder listed on Schedule B hereto agrees that in the event that the Merger is consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time occurs, during the six (6) month period following the Closing Date, it shall not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of the shares of Spinco Common Stock it receives in the Merger.
Section 1.4 Exercise of Drag-Along Rights. Each Shareholder and Voyager hereby covenant and agree that they shall each take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to cause the exercise of all available drag-along, “bring along” and similar rights, in each case to their fullest extent, pursuant to Section 3 of the Voyager Voting Agreement (as defined below) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(a) This Agreement and all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive Law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
(b) AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (WITH EACH PARTY HAVING HAD OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL), EACH OF THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES OR THEIR SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, IN EACH CASE, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, IF THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE).

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN Section 4.3 OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.

Section 4.12 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the party who is, or is to be, thereby aggrieved will have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity. The parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the parties.
Section 4.13 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms and any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall be deemed to include any gender or all three as appropriate. Unless otherwise specified, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes, and including all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Unless expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement, all references to “the date hereof,” “the date of this Agreement,” “hereby” and “hereupon” and words of similar import shall all be references to April 22, 2018 regardless of any amendment or restatement hereof. The use of the phrase “ordinary course of business” or other derivations thereof shall mean “ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.” Unless the context otherwise requires, “or,” “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either,” and “or” shall not be exclusive. Wherever and whenever in this Agreement there is a consent right of a party or a reference to the “satisfaction” or “sole discretion” of a party, such party shall be entitled to consider solely its own interests (and not the interests of any other Person) or, at its sole election, any such other interests and factors as such party desires. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
Section 4.14 Counterparts; Delivery by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.
Section 4.15 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared judicially to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such
9
provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefor another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that achieves the original intent of the parties.
Section 4.16 Capacity as Shareholder. Each Shareholder signs this Agreement solely in such Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of Voyager, and not in any other capacity, and this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect the actions of such Shareholder or any Affiliate, employee or designee of such Shareholder or any of its affiliates in its capacity, if applicable, as an officer or director or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of Voyager.
