3. Revocation of all Prior Proxies. Shareholder hereby revokes all other proxies and powers of attorney that Shareholder may have granted or appointed with respect to the Secured Interests. Shareholder will not give any subsequent proxy or power of attorney (and if given, it will not be effective) or enter into any other voting agreement with respect to the Secured Interests.
4. Acknowledgment of Proxy by the Company. The Company acknowledges the powers and proxies granted herein and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that the Investor shall have the sole right during the Term to vote the Secured Interests with respect to any matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders or through the solicitation of a written consent of shareholders (whether of any individual class of stock or of multiple classes of stock voting together).
5. Restrictive Legend. The Company and Shareholder each agree that each certificate, if any, representing any of the Secured Interests shall be marked by the Company with a restrictive legend. The Company agrees that it will place or cause to be placed the following legend on any new or replacement certificate representing the Secured Interests that is issued by the Company:
"THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO AN IRREVOCABLE VOTING PROXY AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY) AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF SAID AGREEMENT."
6. Negative Covenants of the Company. The Company agrees that, during the Term, it shall not remove, and will not permit to be removed (upon registration of transfer, reissuance or otherwise), the above legend from any certificate representing the Secured Interests.
