NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency, and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1.Voting Provisions Regarding the Board.

1.1Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. When used in this Agreement, the following terms in all of their tenses, cases, and correlative forms shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Section 1.1.

(a)“Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall also include record ownership of securities.

(b)“Beneficial Owner” shall mean the Person who Beneficially Owns the referenced securities.

(c)“Person” shall mean an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust or any other entity.

1.2Board Composition. Stockholder agrees, at any annual or special meeting of Parent called with respect to the election and removal of directors of the Parent, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or consents of Parent stockholders with respect to the election and removal of directors of the Parent, to vote or cause the holder of record to vote the Shares in favor of the NetSapiens Board Designee’s election to the Board.

1.3NetSapiens Board Designee. The initial NetSapiens Board Designee shall be Anand Buch, who shall be elected to the Board immediately following the First Effective Time. Subsequent NetSapiens Board Designees will be designated from time to time by such Company equityholders that either: (a) received shares of Parent Common Stock at the First Effective Time, or (b) exercised options to purchase Parent Common Stock issued at the First Effective Time, holding a majority of the total Parent Common Stock then held collectively by such Company equityholders (the “Designating Company Equityholders”), as communicated to Parent by the then-serving Stockholder Representative. Any such NetSapiens Board Designee shall be subject to the approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed). No subsequent NetSapiens Board Designee shall be elected to the Board until the then-serving NetSapiens Board Designee has been removed from the Board, either by way of resignation, removal or death.

1.4Failure to Designate a Board Member. In the absence of any designation from the Designating Company Equityholders that is acceptable to Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), the director previously designated by them and then serving shall be reelected if willing to serve unless such individual has been removed as provided herein, and otherwise such Board seat shall remain vacant until otherwise filled as provided above.

1.5Removal of Board Members. Stockholder also agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, the Shares in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that:

(a)no director elected pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Agreement may be removed from office other than for cause unless such removal is directed or approved by the Designating Company Equityholders;

(b)any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of the NetSapiens Board Designee elected pursuant to Section 1.2 shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1; and

(c)upon the request of the Designating Company Equityholders to remove the NetSapiens Board Designee, such director shall be removed.

Stockholder agrees to execute any written consents required to perform the obligations of this Section 1.

1.6No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors. Stockholder shall not have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

2.Remedies.

2.1Covenants of the Parent. The Parent agrees to use its best efforts, within the requirements of applicable law, to ensure that the rights granted under this Agreement are effective and that the Parties enjoy the benefits of this Agreement. Such actions include, without limitation, the use of the Parent’s best efforts to cause the nomination and election of NetSapiens Board Designee as provided in this Agreement.

2.2Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney. Stockholder hereby appoints Stockholder Representative and any designee of Stockholder Representative, and each of them individually, until the Expiration Time (as defined below) (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Shares in accordance with Section 1. This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of Stockholder under this Agreement. Stockholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Stockholder shall be irrevocable until the Expiration Time, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Stockholder with respect to the Shares. The power of attorney granted by Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the bankruptcy, death, or incapacity of Stockholder. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate at the Expiration Time.

2.3Specific Enforcement. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that each Party hereto will be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that each of the Parent, Stockholder Representative and Stockholder shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to specific enforcement of this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state having subject matter jurisdiction.

2.4Remedies Cumulative. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any Party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or the like of the capital stock of Parent affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities and such resulting securities shall be deemed to be “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement.

4.Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (the “Expiration Time”): (a) that date on which the Company equityholders that received shares of Parent Common Stock at the First Effective Time fail to collectively Beneficially Own at least Five Percent (5%) of Parent’s total issued and outstanding shares of common stock any time after the Closing; and (b) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties.
