WHEREAS, receiving the Company Stockholder Approval is a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, as an inducement to Nano to enter into the Merger Agreement and incur the obligations therein, Nano has required that the Stockholder enter into this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1. Agreement to Vote; Restrictions on Transfers.

 

(a) Agreement to Vote the Shares. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that from the date hereof until the Expiration Time (as defined below), at any meeting (whether annual or special and each adjourned or postponed meeting) of the Company’s stockholders, however called, or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval of stockholders is sought, the Stockholder will (i) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote or cause to be voted, including by proxy or by delivering a written consent, all of the Shares, (A) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, (B) against any Acquisition Proposal, without regard to any recommendation to the stockholders of the Company by the Company Board concerning such Acquisition Proposal, and without regard to the terms of such Acquisition Proposal, or other proposal made in opposition to or that is otherwise in competition or inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (C) against any amendment to the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger, (D) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone any such meeting of the Company’s stockholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and (E) against any action, agreement, transaction or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company under the Merger Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger.

 

 

 

 

(b) Restrictions on Transfers. The Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, give, pledge, grant a security interest in, encumber, assign, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding to take any of the foregoing actions (each, a “Transfer”) other than any Transfer of Shares (A) (i) to any Affiliate of the Stockholder, (ii) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (iii) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the family of the Stockholder or trusts for the benefit thereof, or (iv) by operation of law and (B) with respect to the Stockholder’s Company Equity Awards that vest or are exercised on or prior to the earlier of the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and the Expiration Time, to the Company in order to satisfy any required withholding taxes applicable upon such vesting or exercise of such Company Equity Awards; provided, that, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of any Transfer described in clause (A)(i), (A)(ii) or (A)(iii) above, such transferee executes a joinder to this Agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Nano, pursuant to which such transferee agrees to become a party to this Agreement and be subject to all of the restrictions and obligations applicable to the Stockholder and otherwise become a party for all purposes of this Agreement to the extent relating to such transferred Shares. Any Transfer in violation of this Section 1(b) shall be null and void. The Stockholder further agrees to authorize and request the Company to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and Transfer of the Shares.

 

(c) Transfer of Voting Rights. The Stockholder hereby agrees that, prior to the earlier of the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and the Expiration Time, the Stockholder shall not deposit any Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxy or power of attorney or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement or arrangement with any Person to vote, grant a proxy or power of attorney or give instructions with respect to the voting of the Shares in contravention of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement with respect to any of the Shares owned by the Stockholder.

 

(d) Acquired Shares. Any shares of Company Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company with respect to which beneficial ownership is acquired by the Stockholder, including, without limitation, by purchase, as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange or change of such securities or upon exercise or conversion of any securities of the Company, if any, after the execution hereof shall automatically become subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall become “Shares” for all purposes hereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Stockholder, in his or her capacity as a member of the Company Board, from taking any action in such capacity to the extent such action is permitted by the Merger Agreement.

(iii) Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not, and the performance by the Stockholder of the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, violate or conflict with, or constitute a default or breach under, any agreement, instrument, contract or other obligation or any order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or the Stockholder’s property or assets is bound, or any statute, rule or regulation to which the Stockholder or the Stockholder’s property or assets is subject. The Stockholder has not appointed or granted a proxy or power of attorney to any Person with respect to any Shares that remains in effect.

(d) Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(e) Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

 

(f) No Partnership, Agency, or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto.

 

(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

(h) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction such that the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

 

(i) Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed by the Stockholder in accordance with the terms hereof and, accordingly, that Nano shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which Nano may be entitled at law or in equity, including without limitations, (a) the Stockholder’s obligations to vote Stockholder’s Shares as provided in this Agreement, without proof of damages, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Stockholder acknowledges that without these rights, Nano would not have entered into this Agreement. The Stockholder hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Stockholder agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that Nano has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

 

(j) No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 5(l) in the manner provided for notices in Section 5(b). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.
