The Shares constitute Shareholder’s entire interest in the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock and Shareholder is not the beneficial or record holder of, and does not exercise voting power over, any other outstanding shares of capital stock of Parent or any other securities convertible into or excersiable or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of Parent. No Person not a signatory to this Agreement has a beneficial interest in or a right to acquire or vote any of the Shares (other than, if Shareholder is a partnership or a limited liability company, the rights and interest of Persons that own partnership interests or units in Shareholder under the partnership agreement or operating agreement governing Shareholder and applicable partnership or limited liability company law, or if Shareholder is a married individual and resides in a state with community property laws, the community property interest of his or her spouse to the extent applicable under such community property laws; provided, however, that any such married Shareholder shall cause his or her spouse to deliver, on the date hereof, a consent of spouse in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B). At the Expiration Time, the Shares will be free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, agreements, limitations on Shareholder’s voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature that would adversely affect the Merger or hinder or prevent in any manner the exercise or fulfillment of the rights and obligations of Shareholder under this Agreement or of the parties to this Agreement. Shareholder’s principal residence or place of business is set forth on Schedule A hereto.
(b) Shareholder is the legal and beneficial owner of the number of options, restricted stock units, warrants and other rights to acquire, directly or indirectly, shares of the capital stock of Parent or any of its affiliates set forth on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Parent Options and Other Rights”). The Parent Options and Other Rights are and will be at all times up until and including the Expiration Time free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, agreements, limitations on Shareholder’s voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature that would adversely affect the Merger or hinder or prevent in any manner the exercise or fulfillment of the rights and obligations of Parent under the Merger Agreement or of the parties to this Agreement.
(c) Shareholder has all requisite power, capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder and the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action, if any, on the part of Shareholder (or its board of directors or similar governing body, as applicable), and no other actions or proceedings on the part of Shareholder are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by Shareholder of this Agreement and the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder and, assuming due power and authority of, and due execution and delivery by, the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its agreements, covenants, and obligations hereunder will not, conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time or both), or require notice to or the consent of any Person under, any provisions of the organizational documents of Shareholder (if applicable), or any agreement, commitment, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is, or any of its assets are, bound, except for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or delay consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement or otherwise prevent or delay Shareholder from performing his, her or its agreements, covenants or obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Shareholder acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Merger Agreement. Until the Expiration Time, Shareholder (in his, her or its capacity as such) shall not take directly or indirectly any action to approve or otherwise support any action by a Party that is prohibited by Section [5.5] of the Merger Agreement. In the event Shareholder shall receive or become aware of any Acquisition Proposal subsequent to the date hereof, Shareholder shall promptly inform VTBH as to any such matter and the details thereof to the extent possible without breaching any other agreement to which Shareholder is a party or violating its fiduciary duties.
(f) Shareholder hereby agrees that he, she or it shall vote “for” the Parent Shareholder Approval Matters, Shareholder shall not revoke or rescind the vote “for” the Parent Shareholder Approval Matters or any resolution contained therein and further agrees not to adopt any resolutions rescinding or revoking the Parent Shareholder Approval Matters or any resolution contained therein or otherwise precluding the approval of the Merger and adoption of the Merger Agreement, at any time prior to the Expiration Time. Shareholder agrees that he, she or it will not bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute, participate in or voluntarily aid any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any governmental entity, that challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of the Parent Shareholder Approval or this Agreement or the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions provided for in the Merger Agreement.
