The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of VIROLOGIC, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints and constitutes Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxxx and ACLARA BIOSCIENCES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies of the Stockholder with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to (i) the outstanding shares of capital stock of Parent owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the final page of this proxy, and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of Parent which the Stockholder may acquire on or after the date hereof. (The shares of the capital stock of Parent referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution hereof, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
This proxy is granted in connection with the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of the Company entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Apollo Acquisition Sub, Inc., Apollo Merger Subsidiary, LLC and the Company (the “Reorganization Agreement”) which provides (subject to the conditions set forth therein) for the merger of Merger Sub I into the Company (“Merger I”) and immediately following the effectiveness of Merger I, the merger of the Company with and into Merger Sub II (“Merger II,” and together with Merger I, the “Transaction”). This proxy will terminate on the Voting Covenant Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
Until the earliest to occur of (a) the date upon which the Reorganization Agreement is validly terminated; (b) the date upon which Merger I is consummated; and (c) the date upon which the Board of Directors of Parent validly makes a Change of Recommendation (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement) pursuant to Section 5.3(d) of the Reorganization Agreement, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote the Shares at any time at any meeting of the stockholders of Parent, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of Parent:
(i) in favor of the Charter Amendment and the Share Issuance (each as defined in the Reorganization Agreement) and in favor of any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; and
(ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Parent in the Reorganization Agreement; and
(iii) against the following actions (other than the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement): (A) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving Parent; (B) any sale, lease or transfer of a material amount of assets of Parent; (C) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of Parent; (D) any change in a majority of the board of directors of Parent; (E) any amendment to Parent’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (F) any material change in the capitalization of Parent or Parent’s corporate structure; and (G) any other action which is intended, or could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement.
The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or
A1
enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Stockholder agrees to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
