Exhibit 10.1

VOTING AGREEMENT

This Voting Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 19, 2020, is
entered into by and between the undersigned shareholder (“Shareholder”) of
EXALENZ BIOSCIENCE LTD., a company organized under the laws of the State of
Israel (the “Company”), and MERIDIAN BIOSCIENCE, INC., a company organized under
the laws of the State of Ohio (“Parent”). Parent and Shareholder are each
sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the
“Parties.”

WHEREAS, concurrently with or following the execution of this Agreement, the
Company, Parent, and APM TRUST SHELF 14 LTD., a company organized under the laws
of the State of Israel and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger
Sub”), have entered, or will enter, into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the
same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for,
among other things, the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub and the Company
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement,
Shareholder is willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants,
and agreements as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the ordinary
shares, par value One New Israeli Shekel (NIS 1.00) per share, of the Company
(“Ordinary Shares”) Beneficially Owned by Shareholder and set forth below
Shareholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares” and,
together with any additional equity securities of the Company pursuant to
Section 6 hereof, the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, Shareholder believes that the terms of the Merger and the Merger
Agreement are fair and that it is in his best interest, as a shareholder in the
Company, that the Merger be consummated; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement,
Parent has required that Shareholder, and Shareholder has agreed to, execute and
deliver this Agreement and to undertake in advance to Vote his Shares in favor
of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby,
and Shareholder agrees to undertake such obligation.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective
representations, warranties, 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. Definitions. 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.

(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) “Vote” or “Voting” shall mean voting in person or by proxy in favor of or
against any action or otherwise consenting or withholding consent in lieu of
such voting in respect of any action.

2. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder represents and
warrants to Parent that:

(a) Ownership of Shares. Shareholder: (i) is the Beneficial Owner of all of the
Original Shares free and clear of any Liens, other than (i) those created by
this Agreement or under applicable federal or state securities laws or
(ii) adverse claims as would not prohibit, limit or otherwise conflict with
Shareholder’s compliance with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement; and
(ii) except for proxies and restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this
Agreement, has the sole voting power over all of the Original Shares. Except
pursuant to this Agreement, there are no options, warrants, or other rights,
agreements, arrangements, or commitments of any character to which Shareholder
is a party relating to the pledge, disposition, or voting of any of the Original
Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the
Original Shares.

(b) Disclosure of All Shares Owned. Other than the Original Shares, Shareholder
does not Beneficially Own any Ordinary Shares, any options, warrants, or other
rights to acquire any additional Ordinary Shares or any security exercisable for
or convertible into Ordinary Shares or any right to acquire any other equity
security of the Company.

(c) Power and Authority; Binding Agreement. Shareholder has full corporate power
and authority to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform
fully Shareholder’s obligations hereunder (including the proxy described in
Section 3(b) below)). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding
obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with
its terms.

(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder
does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the
compliance with the provisions hereof will not, to Shareholder’s knowledge,
conflict with or violate any Law applicable to Shareholder or result in any
breach of or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice
or lapse of time or both would become a default) under any agreement or other
instrument or obligation binding upon Shareholder with respect to any of the
Shares. Without derogating from the foregoing, it is hereby clarified that
except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Shareholder (a) has not entered
into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to his Shares that would
prohibit, undermine, limit or otherwise adversely affect his compliance with his
obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) except for proxies and
restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement, has not granted any
proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Shares, in either case, which is
inconsistent with his obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

 

- 2 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e) No Consents. No consent, approval, Order, or authorization of, or
registration, declaration, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person on the part of Shareholder is required in connection with the valid
execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(f) No Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding
(whether judicial, arbitral, administrative, or other) (each an “Action”)
pending against, or, to the knowledge of Shareholder, threatened against or
affecting, Shareholder that could reasonably be expected to impair or adversely
affect the ability of Shareholder to perform Shareholder’s obligations hereunder
or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely
basis.

(g) No previous Proxies. No proxies or voting instructions relating to the
Merger have been heretofore given in respect of the Shares, other than as
contemplated herein.

3. Agreement to Vote Shares; Irrevocable Proxy.

(a) Agreement to Vote and Approve. Shareholder (solely in his capacity as such)
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees from the execution of this Agreement
until the Expiration Time, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company
(including, for the removal of a doubt, any Special Meeting (as such term is
defined in the ICL)) called with respect to the following matters, and at every
adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written
consent or consents of the Company Shareholders with respect to any of the
following matters, to be present (in person or in proxy) or cause to be present,
and Vote or cause the holder of record to Vote the Shares: (i) in favor of
(1) the Merger Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement, and (2) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such
meeting of Shareholders of the Company to a later date if there are not
sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger; and
(ii) against (1) any Acquisition Proposal, Alternative Acquisition Agreement, or
any of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, for the removal of a
doubt, any Acquisition Transaction), (2) any action, proposal, transaction, or
agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any
covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of
the Company under the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder under this Agreement,
and (3) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that could reasonably be
expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect, or
inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of Parent’s,
the Company’s, or Merger Sub’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change
in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company (including
any amendments to the Company’s Charter Documents). Any such Vote shall be cast
(or consent shall be given) by the Shareholder in accordance with such
procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including
for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of
recording the results of such Vote (or consent).

(b) Irrevocable Proxy. Shareholder hereby appoints Parent and any designee of
Parent, and each of them individually, until the Expiration Time (at which time
this proxy shall automatically be revoked), as his 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 3(a). This proxy and power of attorney is
given to secure the performance of the duties of Shareholder under this
Agreement. Shareholder 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 Shareholder shall be irrevocable during
the term of this Agreement 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 Shareholder with respect to
the Shares. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate
upon the Expiration Time.

 

- 3 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement. Shareholder agrees that during the
term of this Agreement, Shareholder will not, and will not permit any entity
under Shareholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust,
grant any proxies with respect to the Shares, or subject any of the Shares to
any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements
entered into with Parent.

5. Transfer and Encumbrance. Shareholder agrees that during the term of this
Agreement until the Expiration Time, Shareholder will not, directly or
indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, convey any legal or
Beneficial Ownership interest in or otherwise dispose of (by merger (including
by conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any
tender or exchange offer, by operation of law, or otherwise), or encumber other
than a pledge, encumbrance or option that will not affect the obligations of the
Shareholder under this Agreement (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into
any contract, option, or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a
Transfer of, any of the Shares or Shareholder’s voting or economic interest
therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation
of this Section 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a
Transfer of the Shares by Shareholder to (i) any Person; provided, that a
Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a
precondition to such Transfer, (a) the transferee agrees in a writing,
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of
the terms of this Agreement, and (b) the Shareholder shall continue to be
jointly and severally liable for any breach of such voting undertaking by such
transferee) and (ii) any Affiliate of such Shareholder.

6. Additional Shares. Shareholder agrees that all equity securities of the
Company (including, for the removal of doubt, shares of Company Common Stock)
that Shareholder purchases, acquires the right to Vote, or otherwise acquires
Beneficial Ownership of, after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the
Expiration Time shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement, and, without
limiting the foregoing, as of the date hereof and until the Expiration Time, the
Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent in writing of any acquisition he shall
make (directly or indirectly) of additional securities of the Company (or
otherwise of the Beneficial Ownership of any securities of the Company). In the
event of any share split, share dividend, merger, reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or the like
of the share capital of the Company 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.

7. Waiver of Certain Actions. Shareholder hereby agrees not to commence or
participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any
class action with respect to, any Action, derivative or otherwise, against the
Company, or any of its respective Subsidiaries or successors: (a) challenging
the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision
of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin
or delay the Closing); or (b) to the fullest extent permitted under Law,
alleging a breach of any duty of the Board of Directors of the Company in
connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement, or the transactions
contemplated thereby or hereby.

 

- 4 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of
(the “Expiration Time”): (a) the Effective Time; (b) the date on which the
Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (c) the
termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties. Nothing
in this Section 8 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party
for any intentional breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

9. No Solicitation. Subject to Section 10, during the term of this Agreement
until the Expiration Time Shareholder shall not, and shall cause any entity
under Shareholder’s control not to, and shall use his reasonable best efforts to
cause his Representatives not to take any action that would constitute a
violation of the provisions of Sections 5.2(a) and/or 5.2(b) of the Merger
Agreement if taken by the Company, in each case with the limitations and
exceptions of such provisions contemplated by Section 5.2 of the Merger
Agreement that are applicable to the Company or its board of directors
(including the right to participate in discussions or negotiations on the
circumstances set forth therein) being similarly applicable to Shareholder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, neither Shareholder
nor any of its Representatives shall have any liability pursuant to this
Section 9 from and after the first to occur of (x) the Effective Time and
(y) the date on which the Company has paid the Termination Fee.

10. No Agreement as Director or Officer. Shareholder makes no agreement or
understanding in this Agreement in Shareholder’s capacity as a director or
officer of the Company or any entity under Shareholder’s control (if Shareholder
holds such office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any
actions or omissions taken by Shareholder solely in Shareholder’s capacity as
such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger
Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this
Agreement; or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict Shareholder
from exercising Shareholder’s fiduciary duties solely as an officer or director
to the Company or its Shareholders. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to vest in Parent or any other Person any direct or indirect ownership or
incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares. All rights, ownership
and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and
belong to the Shareholder, and neither Parent nor any other Person shall have
any authority to exercise any power or authority to direct Shareholder in the
voting of any of his Shares, except as otherwise specifically provided herein or
in the performance of Shareholder’s duties or responsibilities as a shareholder
of the Company.

11. Further Assurances. Shareholder (in his capacity as such) agrees, from time
to time, and without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such
additional proxies, documents, and other instruments and to take all such
further action as Parent may reasonably request to consummate and make effective
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
or effect of the foregoing or of any other obligation of the Shareholder
hereunder, the Shareholder hereby authorizes Parent to deliver a copy of this
Agreement to each of the Merger Sub and the Company and hereby agrees that each
of Merger Sub and the Company may rely upon such delivery as conclusively
evidencing the agreements and understandings set forth herein and therein.

12. Specific Performance. Each Party hereto acknowledges that it will be
impossible to measure in money the damage to the other Party 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 Party will not have an adequate remedy at Law or damages. Accordingly,
each Party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in
addition to remedies at Law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such
failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the
other Party has an adequate remedy at Law. 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 the other Party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable
relief.

contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no
provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing
signed by both of the Parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by

Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision
hereof by such Party.

16. Miscellaneous.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State
of Delaware, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be
applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the State of Delaware,
provided, however, that (1) issues relating to the Merger, general corporation
law and any other provisions set forth herein that are required to be governed
by the ICL, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal
laws of the State of Israel, without regard to the laws of any other
jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles
of the State of Israel; and (2) it is understood and agreed that, in the absence
of legal authority to the contrary issued after the date of this Agreement, the
Shareholder, and the Shareholder’s outside legal counsel shall be entitled to
rely on and deem applicable to the Company and the Company Board (or any
committee thereof) the Law applicable to corporations incorporated in Delaware
for purposes of making the determinations contemplated by Section 10 (and
providing advice with respect thereto) relating to the fiduciary obligations of
such Person for purposes of this Agreement, and that references to the
“fiduciary duties” of the Company Board under applicable Law and other terms of
similar import under this Agreement shall, for purposes of this Agreement,
include reference to such Delaware Law. The immediately preceding

 

- 7 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sentence is intended only to govern the contractual rights of the Parties to
this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement is
intended to modify any fiduciary duties of the Company Board (or any committee
thereof) under applicable Law or give rise to any breach or violation of this
Agreement on the part of the Company by reason of the fact that the Company
Board (or any committee thereof) has complied with the Law of the State of
Israel, rather than the Law of the State of Delaware, governing the duties owed
by a director of a company formed under the Laws of the State of Israel to such
company, its shareholders or any other Person (or vice versa).

(b) Consent to Jurisdiction. (1) Each of the Parties hereto (i) agrees that any
actions or proceedings arising in connection with any dispute, controversy or
claim arising under, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby (including any dispute or controversy regarding
the existence, validity, enforceability or breach of this Agreement), whether in
contract, in tort or otherwise, shall be brought, tried and determined in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided, that, if jurisdiction is
not then available in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then any
such legal action or proceeding may be brought in any federal court located in
the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court; (ii) irrevocably and
unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets to the
jurisdiction of any court located in the State of Delaware in the event of any
such action or proceeding; (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or
defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any
such court; (iv) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or
proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim
the same; and (v) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the
aforesaid courts. Each of Parent and Shareholder agrees that a final judgment in
any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by applicable Law.

(2) Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of the
summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself
or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 14 or in such
other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in this
Section 16(b) shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any
other manner permitted by applicable Law.

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY
CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE
COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF
ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement
shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense, whether or not the
Merger is consummated.

(e) Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement
or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other
jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good
faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the
transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to
the greatest extent possible.

(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

reference only and are not part of this Agreement, and no construction or
reference shall be derived therefrom.

(h) Assignment. Neither Party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other
Party hereto, except that Parent may assign, in its sole discretion, all or any
of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates.
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 permitted
successors and assigns. Any assignment contrary to the provisions of this
Section 16(h) shall be null and void.

(i) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied,
is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties and Merger
Sub and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable
right, benefit, or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement.

(j) Drafting. The Parties hereto have jointly participated in the negotiation
and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted
jointly by the Parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise
favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision
of this Agreement.
