VOTING AGREEMENT
THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 9, 2012 by and among InterMetro Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxx in his capacity as a shareholder of the Company (“Rice”), and _____________________ (“Lender”).
WHEREAS, the Company and the Lender have entered into that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Short-Term Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “First Amendment”).
WHEREAS, the First Amendment provides, among other things, that the Lender shall in certain circumstances (i) elect to convert certain amounts owed by the Company to the Lender into common stock of the Company, (ii) receive, depending upon the election of the Lender as set forth in Section 1 of the First Amendment, an Early Conversion Warrant, a 2012 Extension Warrant and/or a Deferred Payments Warrant (collectively, the “Warrants”) each providing for the issuance of common stock of the Company upon exercise, and (iii) receive, depending upon the election of Lender, a Second Amended and Restated Note (Plan B) that is convertible upon the holder’s election into common stock of the Company (any such shares of Company common stock issuable either pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, the Warrants, and/or the Second Amended and Restated Note (Plan B), and any replacement or other voting securities issuable as specified therein are together referred to herein as the “Subject Shares”);
WHEREAS, Lender and Rice desire to enter into this Agreement regarding the voting of the Subject Shares upon the issuance of any such securities in accordance with the terms of the First Amendment, the Warrants, and/or the Second Amended and Restated Note (Plan B);
WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the First Amendment and to issue the Warrants and the Second Amended and Restated Note (Plan B) in accordance with the terms of the First Amendment and the documents executed contemporaneously therewith, the Company has required that Lender execute and deliver this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Rice desire Lender to enter into this Agreement to promote stability between the Company and its shareholders, and Lender agrees that such purpose is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Vote Shares.
(a) Subject to the terms hereof, Lender agrees that upon issuance of any Subject Shares to it, during the term of this Agreement, at any and all meetings of shareholders of the Company, or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which a vote (including consents pursuant to applicable law), agreement or other approval of shareholders is sought, Lender shall vote (or cause to be voted) all of the Subject Shares owned by Lender and shall otherwise consent and agree in such manner as may be directed by Rice, in his sole and absolute discretion, including without limitation to elect individuals to the Company’s Board of Directors (whether at any annual election of the Board of Directors, in connection with filling any vacancy as a result of any termination, removal or resignation of any member of the board of Directors or otherwise).
(b) In furtherance of the covenants set forth in Section 1(a) hereof, Lender agrees, upon executing this Agreement, to deliver to the Company and Rice a proxy authorizing the Subject Shares to be voted in accordance with Section 1(a) of this Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto. Lender agrees that no further proxy is required to be executed in connection with Rice’s representing the Subject Shares and voting of any matter with respect thereto. To the extent requested by Rice and/or the Company, Lender from time to time will provide such further proxies requested by Rice and/or the Company as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of Section 1(a), including but not limited to any proxies with respect to securities that constitute Subject Shares other than the common stock of the Company.
(c) The parties hereto authorize and direct the Secretary of the Company to xxxx any certificates representing Subject Shares with a legend referencing the restrictions contained herein, such legend to remain until this Agreement terminates or the Subject Shares are sold in a Bona Fide Sale as described in Section 2 below. In such event, the Company shall, upon Lender’s submission of the certificate or certificates representing the Subject Shares no longer subject to this Agreement, promptly issue and deliver to the Lender, or cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver, a new certificate or certificates representing such Subject Shares without the legend described in this Section 1(c).
2. Term and Scope of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as, and to the extent that such Subject Shares are held by Lender or an affiliate of Lender or a transferee of Lender (except as set forth below). This Agreement is irrevocable by Lender. At such time as the Warrant, the Second Amended and Restated Note (Plan B), or any Subject Shares are sold by Lender into the public market or to any person or entity that is not an “affiliate” of Lender (within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and including without limitation any family member(s) of affiliates of Lender) (a “Bona Fide Sale”), and Lender provides a certification, that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company, confirming that such sale is a Bona Fide Sale in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then such sold security shall not be subject to the terms of this Agreement. If Lender transfers any Warrant or the Second Amended and Restated Note (Plan B) in whole or in part to any person or entity in accordance with the terms of such documents in a transaction that does not constitute a Bona Fide Sale, any Subject Shares issued to such transferee upon its exercise of the Warrant or the Second Amended and Restated Note (Plan B), as the case may be, shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3. Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages to the other parties if a party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other parties will not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or in damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Each party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with any other party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.
4. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and devises, as applicable. This Agreement shall not be assignable without the written consent of all the parties hereto, except that the Company may assign, in its sole discretion, all or any of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to any of its affiliates or successors-in-interest, and Rice’s rights and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned upon his death to his executor, administrator, and/or successors.
5. Entire Agreement. The parties agree that the Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated as a part of this Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other agreements referenced herein, contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other negotiations, representations, warranties, agreements and understandings, oral or otherwise, between the parties with respect to the matters contained herein.
6. Attorneys’ Fees. The parties hereto agree that the prevailing party in any action brought to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the action.
8. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding brought by any party hereto arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the County of Los Angeles, State of California (a “Designated Court”), (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding brought in any Designated Court, and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any Designated Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (iii) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Designated Court in any suit, action or proceeding. Each of the parties agrees that a judgment in any suit, action or proceeding brought in a Designated Court shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction it is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.
9. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective hereto shall be given in writing, which shall include fax transmission and email with confirmed electronic receipt during normal business hours, and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt by the receiving party. Such notices, requests and demands shall be given or made at the following addresses (or such other addresses as either party may designate by notice in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph):

10. Severability.

If any of the provisions hereof are determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible.
11. Waiver. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.
12. Modification. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement will be binding unless made in a written instrument that is signed by all of the parties hereto and that specifically refers to this Agreement.
13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and/or by facsimile or electronic signature, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
