WHEREAS, Leap, M-CO Merger Sub, Ltd., a company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and registered under No. 51-550685-5 with the Israeli Registrar of Companies (“Merger Sub”), and M-CO have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated of even date herewith (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into M-CO (the “Merger”);

 

WHEREAS, Shareholder beneficially owns and has sole voting power with respect to the number of Shares, and/or holds the M-CO Options, M-CO Warrants or other rights to acquire the number of Shares, indicated opposite Shareholder’s name on Schedule 1 attached hereto;

 

WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to the willingness of Leap and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration of the substantial expenses incurred and to be incurred by them in connection therewith, Shareholder has agreed to enter into and perform this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a condition to, Leap’s and Merger Sub’s entering into the Merger Agreement and proceeding with the transactions contemplated thereby, and in consideration of the expenses incurred and to be incurred by them in connection therewith, Shareholder and Leap agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Agreement to Vote Shares. Shareholder agrees that, from and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 2 below), at any meeting of the shareholders of M-CO or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of M-CO, Shareholder shall:

 

a.                                      if such meeting or written consent pertains to any of the matters described in subparagraph (b) below, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares and any New Shares (as defined in Section 3 below) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

 

b.                                      vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be delivered) covering, all of the Shares and any New Shares that such Shareholder shall be entitled to so vote: (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger, the Merger Agreement, any and all other agreements related to the Merger or contemplated under the Merger Agreement and any and all other actions or transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement which may be presented for a vote at a shareholder meeting at a time when the S-4 is effective; (ii) against any action, transaction or agreement presented for a shareholder vote or action by consent that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other

 

 

obligation or agreement of M-CO or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates under the Merger Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to M-CO’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled; (iii) against any M-CO Takeover Proposal presented for a shareholder vote or action by consent; and (iv) against any agreement, action, transaction or other matter presented for a shareholder vote or action by consent that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or any of the other actions or transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder shall not take or commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

 

As used herein, the term “M-CO Takeover Proposal” shall mean any proposal or offer from any Person or group with respect to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, any (i) direct or indirect acquisition of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of M-CO and the M-CO Subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof), (ii) direct or indirect acquisition of outstanding or newly issued M-CO Ordinary Shares or other securities of M-CO (including, without limitation, any outstanding or newly issued options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, M-CO Ordinary Shares or other securities having voting power) representing (after giving effect to such acquisition) 20% or more of the outstanding M-CO Ordinary Shares or of the outstanding voting power of M-CO, or any other direct or indirect acquisition of 20% or more of the outstanding voting power of M-CO, regardless of the method, form or structure of such other direct or indirect acquisition, (iii) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result, directly or indirectly, in any Person or group (or the shareholders of any Person or group) beneficially owning (the term or concept of “beneficial ownership” for purposes of this Agreement having the meaning assigned thereto in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) 20% or more of the outstanding M-CO Ordinary Shares or the outstanding voting power of M-CO or (iv) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving M-CO or any M-CO Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Merger nor any of the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement shall be deemed an M-CO Takeover Proposal. Wherever the term “group” is used in this Agreement, it used as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

2.                                      Expiration Date. As used in this Agreement, the term “Expiration Date” shall mean, subject to the provisions set forth below in this Section 2, the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the effective time and date of the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01 thereof or otherwise or (c) upon mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate this Agreement. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, such termination or expiration shall not relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement or acts of bad faith prior to termination hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the case of a termination under Section 8.01(h) of the Merger Agreement or (ii) in the case of any termination of the Merger Agreement at any time after the M-CO Shareholders Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) is held if the M-CO Shareholders Approval (as defined in the Merger Agreement) was not obtained, then (x) the provisions of Sections 1(a), 1(b)(iii), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8(b), 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23 and 24 shall survive until the six (6) month anniversary of the effective time and date of any such termination of the Merger Agreement (which effective time and date shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement), and (y) the term “Expiration Date” shall mean, for all purposes of this Agreement, the date that is the six (6) month anniversary of the effective time and date of any such termination of the Merger Agreement (which effective time and date shall be determined in

 

 

accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement); provided however that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 below, during the period commencing with any termination of the Merger Agreement that is within the scope of either of clauses (i) and (ii) set forth above in this Section 2 and ending on such six-month anniversary date (such period, the “Extended Effective Period”), the Shareholder shall be entitled to sell his/her/its Shares and/or New Shares in the market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act if, but only if and to the extent that, (A) such sales are effected pursuant to “brokers transactions” as defined under such Rule 144 and (B) the total number of Shares and New Shares sold by the Shareholder during each three-month period during the Extended Effective Period, when added to the number of Shares and New Shares sold by all Affiliates of the Shareholder during such three-month period, shall not exceed more than one percent (1%) of the total number of Shares and New Shares beneficially owned by the Shareholder and all of its Affiliates on the effective date of termination of the Merger Agreement.

 

3.                                      Additional Purchases. Shareholder agrees that any share capital or other equity securities of M-CO that Shareholder purchases or with respect to which Shareholder otherwise acquires sole or shared voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date, whether by the exercise of any M-CO Options, M-CO Warrants or otherwise (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Shares.

 

4.                                      Agreement to Retain Shares. From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer, tender, or otherwise dispose of (including, without limitation, by the creation of any Liens (as defined in Section 5.c below)) any Shares or New Shares, (b) deposit any Shares or New Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or similar arrangement with respect to such Shares or New Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than this Agreement), (c) enter into any contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of (including, without limitation, by the creation of any Liens) any Shares or New Shares, or (d) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Shareholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling Shareholder from performing Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder may make (w) any transfer by will or by operation of law or other transfers for estate-planning purposes, provided that in each such case the applicable transferee has signed a voting agreement in substantially the form hereof and, until the transferee has signed such voting agreement, this Agreement shall bind the transferee, (x) if Shareholder is a partnership or limited liability company, a transfer to one or more partners or members of Shareholder or to an affiliated corporation, trust or other business entity under common control with Shareholder, or if Shareholder is a trust, a transfer to a beneficiary, provided that in each such case the applicable transferee has signed a voting agreement in substantially the form hereof, and (y) any transfer as Leap may otherwise agree in writing in its sole discretion.

 

5.                                      Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Leap as follows:

 

a.                                      Shareholder has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform Shareholder’s obligations hereunder;

 

b.                                      this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Shareholder and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Leap, constitutes a

 

 

valid and binding agreement with respect to Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally;

 

c.                                       except as set forth on Schedule 1, Shareholder beneficially owns the number of Shares indicated opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule 1, and will own any New Shares, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges or other encumbrances or restrictions of any kind whatsoever (“Liens”), and has sole, and otherwise unrestricted, voting power with respect to such Shares (and will have sole, and otherwise unrestricted, voting power with respect to any New Shares when acquired and thereafter), and none of the Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of the Shares (and none of the New Shares, when acquired or thereafter, will be subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of the New Shares), except as contemplated by this Agreement;

 

d.                                      to the knowledge of Shareholder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder and the compliance by Shareholder with any provisions hereof will not, violate or conflict with, result in a material breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Liens on any Shares or New Shares pursuant to, any agreement, instrument, note, bond, mortgage, contract, lease, license, permit or other obligation or any order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is bound, or any law, statute, rule or regulation to which Shareholder is subject and, in the event that Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, any bylaw or other organizational document of Shareholder; and

 

e.                                       to the knowledge of Shareholder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by Shareholder does not and will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any governmental or regulatory authority by Shareholder except for applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, and except where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not prevent or delay the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

 

6.             Irrevocable Proxy. Subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 6, by execution of this Agreement, Shareholder does hereby appoint Leap with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, to the fullest extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to the Shares and any New Shares, to vote, if the Shareholder is unable to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, each of such Shares and New Shares solely with respect to the matters and at the times set forth in Section 1  hereof. Shareholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest hereunder until the Expiration Date and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by Shareholder with respect to the Shares or any New Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this irrevocable proxy shall automatically terminate upon the Expiration Date of this Agreement. The Shareholder hereby revokes any proxies previously granted and represents that none of such previously-granted proxies are irrevocable.

 

 

7.                                      No Solicitation. From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date and subject to Section  10 hereof, Shareholder shall not (a) initiate, solicit, seek or knowingly encourage or support any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an M-CO Takeover Proposal, (b) engage or participate in, or knowingly facilitate, any discussions or negotiations regarding any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an M-CO Takeover Proposal, (c) furnish to any Person other than M-CO or Leap any non-public information that could reasonably be expected to be used for the purposes of formulating any M-CO Takeover Proposal, (d) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle or other similar type of agreement relating to any M-CO Takeover Proposal, or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring M-CO or Shareholder to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, (e) initiate a shareholders’ vote or action by consent of M-CO’s shareholders with respect to any M-CO Takeover Proposal, (f) become a member of a “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of M-CO that takes any action in support of any M-CO Takeover Proposal, (g) take any action or enter into any transaction in support or furtherance of, or to participate in or otherwise be a part of, any M-CO Takeover Proposal, including, without limitation, tendering any Shares or New Shares pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer that constitutes an M-CO Takeover Proposal or (h) propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. In the event that Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, it shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, nor shall it authorize any officer, director, partner, trustee, manager, managing member or representative of Shareholder, or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, undertake any of the actions contemplated by this Section 7.

 

8.                                      Waiver of Appraisal Rights; No Legal Actions.

 

a.                                      The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any appraisal rights under applicable law in connection with the Merger.

 

b.                                      Subject to Section 10 hereof, the Shareholder will not, in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of M-CO, bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntarily aid any action, arbitration, cause of action, claim, complaint, criminal prosecution, demand letter, governmental or other examination or investigation, hearing, inquiry, administrative or other proceeding, or notice by any Person alleging potential liability, which (i) challenges the validity or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement or (ii) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder, either alone or together with the other voting agreements and proxies to be delivered in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, or the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Board of Directors of M-CO, constitutes a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Board of Directors of M-CO or any member thereof.

 

9.                                      Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any of the courts specified in Section 19 hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.

 

 

10.                               Directors and Officers. This Agreement shall apply to Shareholder solely in Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of M-CO and/or holder of M-CO Options, M-CO Warrants and/or other rights to acquire Shares or New Shares, and not in such Shareholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of M-CO or any of its Subsidiaries or in such Shareholder’s capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (or require Shareholder to attempt to) limit or restrict a director and/or officer of M-CO in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties consistent with the terms of the Merger Agreement as a director and/or officer of M-CO or in his or her capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director and/or officer of M-CO or any trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director, officer, trustee and/or fiduciary.

 

11.                               No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Leap any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares or New Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares and, if any, New Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Shareholder, and Leap does not have authority to manage, direct, superintend, restrict, regulate, govern, or administer any of the policies or operations of M-CO or exercise any power or authority to direct Shareholder in the voting of any of the Shares and New Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.

 

12.                               Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect as of the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Section 12 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall relieve either party hereto from any liability, or otherwise limit the liability of either party from any liability, for any breach of any obligation or other provision contained in this Agreement or for any acts of bad faith, in each case that occurred or were taken prior to the Expiration Date.

 

13.                               Agreement to Support; Further Assurances; Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. Shareholder agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary under applicable laws to consummate the Merger and the other transactions or actions contemplated under the Merger Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Shareholder shall, from time to time, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional or further agreements, consents, documents and other instruments as Leap may reasonably request for the purpose of consummating or making effective the Merger or any of the other transactions or actions contemplated under the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

 

14.                               Disclosure. Shareholder hereby agrees that Leap or M-CO may publish and disclose in the S-4, any resale registration statement relating thereto (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), the Proxy Statement, any prospectus filed with any regulatory authority in connection with the Merger and any related documents filed with such regulatory authority and as otherwise required by Law, such Shareholder’s identity and ownership of Shares and the nature of such Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement and may further file this Agreement as an exhibit to the S-4 or prospectus or in any other filing made by Leap or M-CO as required by Law or the terms of the Merger Agreement, including with the SEC or other regulatory authority, relating to the Merger.

 

15.                               Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) or by

 

 

facsimile transmission (providing confirmation of transmission) to Leap in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Merger Agreement and to Shareholder at its address set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice).

 

16.                               Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

 

17.                               Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of a party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by such party without the other party’s prior written consent shall be void and of no effect. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

18.                               No Waivers. No waivers of any breach of this Agreement extended by Leap to Shareholder shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of Leap with respect to any other shareholder of M-CO who has executed an agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement with respect to Shares or New Shares held or subsequently held by such shareholder or with respect to any subsequent breach of the Shareholder or any other such shareholder of M-CO. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

 

19.                               Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Israel, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the jurisdiction and venue of (A) the courts of the State of Israel and (B) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, United States of America or to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, United States of America does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, United States of America or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, United States of America; (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in the courts specified above in clause (i) of this Section 19; (iii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in any of such courts; (iv) waives any objection that any of such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over

 

 

any party; and (v) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 15 of this Agreement.

 

20.                               Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to trial by jury with respect to any action or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement, any document executed in connection herewith and the matters contemplated hereby and thereby.

 

21.                               No Agreement Until Executed. Irrespective of negotiations among the parties or the exchanging of drafts of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute or be deemed to evidence a contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties hereto unless and until (a) the Merger Agreement is executed by all parties thereto, and (b) this Agreement is executed by all parties hereto.

 

22.                               Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by all parties by facsimile or electronic transmission via “.pdf” shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

23.                               Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto.

b.                                      The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

MACROCURE SHAREHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENT

 

THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of August 29, 2016, is made by and among Leap Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Leap”), and the undersigned holder (“Shareholder”) of ordinary shares (the “Shares”) and/or options, warrants or other securities of Macrocure, Ltd., a company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and registered under No. 51408376-5 with the Israeli Registrar of Companies (“M-CO”).

 

WHEREAS, Leap, M-CO Merger Sub, Ltd., a company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and registered under No. 51-550685-5 with the Israeli Registrar of Companies (“Merger Sub”), and M-CO have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated of even date herewith (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into M-CO (the “Merger”);

 

WHEREAS, Shareholder beneficially owns and has sole voting power with respect to the number of Shares, and/or holds the M-CO Options, M-CO Warrants or other rights to acquire the number of Shares, indicated opposite Shareholder’s name on Schedule 1 attached hereto;

 

WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to the willingness of Leap and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration of the substantial expenses incurred and to be incurred by them in connection therewith, Shareholder has agreed to enter into and perform this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a condition to, Leap’s and Merger Sub’s entering into the Merger Agreement and proceeding with the transactions contemplated thereby, and in consideration of the expenses incurred and to be incurred by them in connection therewith, Shareholder and Leap agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Agreement to Vote Shares. Shareholder agrees that, from and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 2 below), at any meeting of the shareholders of M-CO or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of M-CO, Shareholder shall:

 

a.                                      if such meeting or written consent pertains to any of the matters described in subparagraph (b) below, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares and any New Shares (as defined in Section 3 below) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

 

b.                                      vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be delivered) covering, all of the Shares and any New Shares that such Shareholder shall be entitled to so vote: (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger, the Merger Agreement, any and all other agreements related to the Merger or contemplated under the Merger Agreement and any and all other actions or transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement which may be presented for a vote at a shareholder meeting at a time when the S-4 is effective; (ii) against any action, transaction or agreement presented for a shareholder vote or action by consent that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other

 

 

obligation or agreement of M-CO or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates under the Merger Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to M-CO’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled; (iii) against any M-CO Takeover Proposal presented for a shareholder vote or action by consent; and (iv) against any agreement, action, transaction or other matter presented for a shareholder vote or action by consent that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or any of the other actions or transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder shall not take or commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

 

As used herein, the term “M-CO Takeover Proposal” shall mean any proposal or offer from any Person or group with respect to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, any (i) direct or indirect acquisition of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of M-CO and the M-CO Subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof), (ii) direct or indirect acquisition of outstanding or newly issued M-CO Ordinary Shares or other securities of M-CO (including, without limitation, any outstanding or newly issued options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, M-CO Ordinary Shares or other securities having voting power) representing (after giving effect to such acquisition) 20% or more of the outstanding M-CO Ordinary Shares or of the outstanding voting power of M-CO, or any other direct or indirect acquisition of 20% or more of the outstanding voting power of M-CO, regardless of the method, form or structure of such other direct or indirect acquisition, (iii) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result, directly or indirectly, in any Person or group (or the shareholders of any Person or group) beneficially owning (the term or concept of “beneficial ownership” for purposes of this Agreement having the meaning assigned thereto in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) 20% or more of the outstanding M-CO Ordinary Shares or the outstanding voting power of M-CO or (iv) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving M-CO or any M-CO Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Merger nor any of the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement shall be deemed an M-CO Takeover Proposal. Wherever the term “group” is used in this Agreement, it used as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

2.                                      Expiration Date. As used in this Agreement, the term “Expiration Date” shall mean, subject to the provisions set forth below in this Section 2, the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the effective time and date of the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01 thereof or otherwise or (c) upon mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate this Agreement. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, such termination or expiration shall not relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement or acts of bad faith prior to termination hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the case of a termination under Section 8.01(h) of the Merger Agreement or (ii) in the case of any termination of the Merger Agreement at any time after the M-CO Shareholders Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) is held if the M-CO Shareholders Approval (as defined in the Merger Agreement) was not obtained, then (x) the provisions of Sections 1(a), 1(b)(iii), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8(b), 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23 and 24 shall survive until the six (6) month anniversary of the effective time and date of any such termination of the Merger Agreement (which effective time and date shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement), and (y) the term “Expiration Date” shall mean, for all purposes of this Agreement, the date that is the six (6) month anniversary of the effective time and date of any such termination of the Merger Agreement (which effective time and date shall be determined in

 

 

accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement); provided however that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 below, during the period commencing with any termination of the Merger Agreement that is within the scope of either of clauses (i) and (ii) set forth above in this Section 2 and ending on such six-month anniversary date (such period, the “Extended Effective Period”), the Shareholder shall be entitled to sell his/her/its Shares and/or New Shares in the market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act if, but only if and to the extent that, (A) such sales are effected pursuant to “brokers transactions” as defined under such Rule 144 and (B) the total number of Shares and New Shares sold by the Shareholder during each three-month period during the Extended Effective Period, when added to the number of Shares and New Shares sold by all Affiliates of the Shareholder during such three-month period, shall not exceed more than one percent (1%) of the total number of Shares and New Shares beneficially owned by the Shareholder and all of its Affiliates on the effective date of termination of the Merger Agreement.

 

3.                                      Additional Purchases. Shareholder agrees that any share capital or other equity securities of M-CO that Shareholder purchases or with respect to which Shareholder otherwise acquires sole or shared voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date, whether by the exercise of any M-CO Options, M-CO Warrants or otherwise (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Shares.

 

4.                                      Agreement to Retain Shares. From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer, tender, or otherwise dispose of (including, without limitation, by the creation of any Liens (as defined in Section 5.c below)) any Shares or New Shares, (b) deposit any Shares or New Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or similar arrangement with respect to such Shares or New Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than this Agreement), (c) enter into any contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of (including, without limitation, by the creation of any Liens) any Shares or New Shares, or (d) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Shareholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling Shareholder from performing Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder may make (w) any transfer by will or by operation of law or other transfers for estate-planning purposes, provided that in each such case the applicable transferee has signed a voting agreement in substantially the form hereof and, until the transferee has signed such voting agreement, this Agreement shall bind the transferee, (x) if Shareholder is a partnership or limited liability company, a transfer to one or more partners or members of Shareholder or to an affiliated corporation, trust or other business entity under common control with Shareholder, or if Shareholder is a trust, a transfer to a beneficiary, provided that in each such case the applicable transferee has signed a voting agreement in substantially the form hereof, and (y) any transfer as Leap may otherwise agree in writing in its sole discretion.

 

5.                                      Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Leap as follows:

 

a.                                      Shareholder has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform Shareholder’s obligations hereunder;

 

b.                                      this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Shareholder and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Leap, constitutes a

 

 

valid and binding agreement with respect to Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally;

 

c.                                       except as set forth on Schedule 1, Shareholder beneficially owns the number of Shares indicated opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule 1, and will own any New Shares, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges or other encumbrances or restrictions of any kind whatsoever (“Liens”), and has sole, and otherwise unrestricted, voting power with respect to such Shares (and will have sole, and otherwise unrestricted, voting power with respect to any New Shares when acquired and thereafter), and none of the Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of the Shares (and none of the New Shares, when acquired or thereafter, will be subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of the New Shares), except as contemplated by this Agreement;

 

d.                                      to the knowledge of Shareholder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder and the compliance by Shareholder with any provisions hereof will not, violate or conflict with, result in a material breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Liens on any Shares or New Shares pursuant to, any agreement, instrument, note, bond, mortgage, contract, lease, license, permit or other obligation or any order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is bound, or any law, statute, rule or regulation to which Shareholder is subject and, in the event that Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, any bylaw or other organizational document of Shareholder; and

 

e.                                       to the knowledge of Shareholder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by Shareholder does not and will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any governmental or regulatory authority by Shareholder except for applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, and except where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not prevent or delay the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

 

6.                                      Irrevocable Proxy. Subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 6, by execution of this Agreement, Shareholder does hereby appoint Leap with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, to the fullest extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to the Shares and any New Shares, to vote, if the Shareholder is unable to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, each of such Shares and New Shares solely with respect to the matters and at the times set forth in Section 1  hereof. Shareholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest hereunder until the Expiration Date and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by Shareholder with respect to the Shares or any New Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this irrevocable proxy shall automatically terminate upon the Expiration Date of this Agreement. The Shareholder hereby revokes any proxies previously granted and represents that none of such previously-granted proxies are irrevocable.

 

 

7.                                      No Solicitation. From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date and subject to Section  10 hereof, Shareholder shall not (a) initiate, solicit, seek or knowingly encourage or support any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an M-CO Takeover Proposal, (b) engage or participate in, or knowingly facilitate, any discussions or negotiations regarding any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an M-CO Takeover Proposal, (c) furnish to any Person other than M-CO or Leap any non-public information that could reasonably be expected to be used for the purposes of formulating any M-CO Takeover Proposal, (d) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle or other similar type of agreement relating to any M-CO Takeover Proposal, or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring M-CO or Shareholder to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, (e) initiate a shareholders’ vote or action by consent of M-CO’s shareholders with respect to any M-CO Takeover Proposal, (f) become a member of a “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of M-CO that takes any action in support of any M-CO Takeover Proposal, (g) take any action or enter into any transaction in support or furtherance of, or to participate in or otherwise be a part of, any M-CO Takeover Proposal, including, without limitation, tendering any Shares or New Shares pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer that constitutes an M-CO Takeover Proposal or (h) propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. In the event that Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, it shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, nor shall it authorize any officer, director, partner, trustee, manager, managing member or representative of Shareholder, or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, undertake any of the actions contemplated by this Section 7.

 

8.                                      Waiver of Appraisal Rights; No Legal Actions.

 

a.                                      The Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any appraisal rights under applicable law in connection with the Merger.

 

b.                                      Subject to Section 10 hereof, the Shareholder will not, in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of M-CO, bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntarily aid any action, arbitration, cause of action, claim, complaint, criminal prosecution, demand letter, governmental or other examination or investigation, hearing, inquiry, administrative or other proceeding, or notice by any Person alleging potential liability, which (i) challenges the validity or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement or (ii) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder, either alone or together with the other voting agreements and proxies to be delivered in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, or the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Board of Directors of M-CO, constitutes a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Board of Directors of M-CO or any member thereof.

 

9.                                      Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any of the courts specified in Section 19 hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.

 

 

10.                               Directors and Officers. This Agreement shall apply to Shareholder solely in Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of M-CO and/or holder of M-CO Options, M-CO Warrants and/or other rights to acquire Shares or New Shares, and not in such Shareholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of M-CO or any of its Subsidiaries or in such Shareholder’s capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (or require Shareholder to attempt to) limit or restrict a director and/or officer of M-CO in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties consistent with the terms of the Merger Agreement as a director and/or officer of M-CO or in his or her capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director and/or officer of M-CO or any trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director, officer, trustee and/or fiduciary.

 

11.                               No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Leap any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares or New Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares and, if any, New Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Shareholder, and Leap does not have authority to manage, direct, superintend, restrict, regulate, govern, or administer any of the policies or operations of M-CO or exercise any power or authority to direct Shareholder in the voting of any of the Shares and New Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.

 

12.                               Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect as of the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Section 12 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall relieve either party hereto from any liability, or otherwise limit the liability of either party from any liability, for any breach of any obligation or other provision contained in this Agreement or for any acts of bad faith, in each case that occurred or were taken prior to the Expiration Date.

 

13.                               Agreement to Support; Further Assurances; Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. Shareholder agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary under applicable laws to consummate the Merger and the other transactions or actions contemplated under the Merger Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Shareholder shall, from time to time, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional or further agreements, consents, documents and other instruments as Leap may reasonably request for the purpose of consummating or making effective the Merger or any of the other transactions or actions contemplated under the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

 

14.                               Disclosure. Shareholder hereby agrees that Leap or M-CO may publish and disclose in the S-4, any resale registration statement relating thereto (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), the Proxy Statement, any prospectus filed with any regulatory authority in connection with the Merger and any related documents filed with such regulatory authority and as otherwise required by Law, such Shareholder’s identity and ownership of Shares and the nature of such Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement and may further file this Agreement as an exhibit to the S-4 or prospectus or in any other filing made by Leap or M-CO as required by Law or the terms of the Merger Agreement, including with the SEC or other regulatory authority, relating to the Merger.

 

15.                               Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) or by

 

 

facsimile transmission (providing confirmation of transmission) to Leap in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Merger Agreement and to Shareholder at its address set forth on Schedule 1  attached hereto (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice).

 

16.                               Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

 

17.                               Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of a party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by such party without the other party’s prior written consent shall be void and of no effect. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

18.                               No Waivers. No waivers of any breach of this Agreement extended by Leap to Shareholder shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of Leap with respect to any other shareholder of M-CO who has executed an agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement with respect to Shares or New Shares held or subsequently held by such shareholder or with respect to any subsequent breach of the Shareholder or any other such shareholder of M-CO. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

 

19.                               Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Israel, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the jurisdiction and venue of (A) the courts of the State of Israel and (B) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, United States of America or to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, United States of America does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, United States of America or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, United States of America; (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in the courts specified above in clause (i) of this Section 19; (iii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in any of such courts; (iv) waives any objection that any of such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over

 

 

any party; and (v) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 15 of this Agreement.

 

20.                               Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to trial by jury with respect to any action or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement, any document executed in connection herewith and the matters contemplated hereby and thereby.

 

21.                               No Agreement Until Executed. Irrespective of negotiations among the parties or the exchanging of drafts of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute or be deemed to evidence a contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties hereto unless and until (a) the Merger Agreement is executed by all parties thereto, and (b) this Agreement is executed by all parties hereto.

 

22.                               Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by all parties by facsimile or electronic transmission via “.pdf” shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

23.                               Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto.

 

24.                               Construction.

 

a.                                      For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires, the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa.
