THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective this 30th day of September, 2005,
by and between Xxxxxxx X. Xxx III (“Yde”) and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Trustee of the Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
Revocable Trust u/a/d December 18, 2003 (the “Trustee”).
RECITALS
A. The Trustee is the owner of 465,106 shares of common stock (the “GTN Shares”) of
Global Traffic Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
B. The Trustee desires that Yde have and exercise the voting rights associated with the
GTN Shares and Yde desires to have and exercise such voting rights.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. GTN Shares. The Trustee agrees to hold the GTN Shares subject to, and to vote the GTN
Shares in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement.
2. Voting of GTN Shares. From the date hereof until five (5) years from the date of this
Agreement (the “Voting Termination Date”), at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company at
which matters are put to a vote (and at any adjournment thereof), however called, and in any action
by written consent of such shareholders, the Trustee shall vote (or give consent in respect of) the
GTN Shares at such meeting or in such action by written consent as directed by Yde, and in
connection with such vote (or consent in respect thereof), the Trustee shall execute any documents
which are necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the foregoing, including the ability for
the Company or its nominees to vote the GTN Shares directly in the event that the Trustee is unable
or otherwise fails to vote (or give consent) as required by this Section 2.
3. No Inconsistent Arrangements. The Trustee will not from the date hereof until the Voting
Termination Date: (i) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization in or with respect
to the GTN Shares other than as granted pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) deposit the GTN Shares
into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the GTN Shares;
or (iii) take any other action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the
performance of the Trustee’s obligations hereunder.
4. Irrevocable Proxy. The Trustee hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Yde, or the
Secretary of the Company (in the event that Yde is unable serve as proxy), as Trustee’s proxy and
attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the
Trustee (i) to vote the GTN Shares as the Trustee’s proxy with regard to any matter brought before
the shareholders of the Company at any annual or special meeting of such shareholders (including
any adjournment or postponement thereof), and (ii) to sign the Trustee’s names (as shareholder) to
any consent, certificate or other document relating to the Company, that are permitted or required
by the business corporation act of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation. The Trustee
represents that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the GTN Shares are revocable, and that
any such proxies are hereby revoked. The Trustee hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set
forth in this Section 4 is given in connection with the
6
execution of this Agreement and that this proxy may under no circumstances be revoked until
the Voting Termination Date. This irrevocable proxy, so long as any party hereto is an individual,
will survive the death, incompetency and disability of such party or any other individual holder of
the GTN Shares and, so long as any party hereto is an entity, will survive the merger or
dissolution of such party or any other entity holding the GTN Shares.
5. Limitations on Transfer. The Trustee shall not sell, transfer, assign, distribute or
otherwise dispose of any GTN Shares, other than to the Company, unless as a condition precedent to
such transfer, the recipient shall agree in writing to take such GTN Shares subject to, and shall
accept and agree to be bound in writing by, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in which
such subscribing person shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement.
6. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Further Assurances. The Trustee and Yde shall from time to time execute, deliver
and file any and all other agreements, instruments or documents, and take any and all
actions, reasonably requested by any other party to give full force and effect to this
agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed by the laws of the
State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts-of-law provisions. All disputes related
to or arising under this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
federal and state courts located in Xxxxx County, Nevada with each party consenting to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and hereby waiving any personal jurisdiction defenses.
(c) Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing
signed by the parties. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties
pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties. No
waivers of any breach of this Agreement extended by any party hereto to any other party
shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any other party hereto or with
respect to any subsequent breach.
(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall not be affected thereby.
