 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Prime’s continued actions in furtherance of consummation of the Merger and the
mutual covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein and therein, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Representations and Warranties. 
  
 (a) Each Stockholder severally represents and warrants to HealthTronics as follows: 
  
 (i) Such Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of, or in the case of a Stockholder that is a trust
(a “Trust Stockholder”), such Trust Stockholder is the record holder of, and its beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of, the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Prime (the “Common
Stock”) set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A hereto (such shares of Common Stock, together with any other shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of Prime acquired after the date hereof (including
through the exercise of any stock options, warrants or similar instruments) being collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Shares”). The Subject Shares constitute the only shares, with respect to which such Stockholder
is the record or beneficial owner, of Common Stock or other capital stock of Prime or options, warrants or other rights (whether or not contingent) to acquire such shares of capital stock of Prime that are or may be entitled to vote on the Merger or
the Merger Agreement at any meeting of stockholders of Prime called to vote upon the Merger or the Merger Agreement. Such Stockholder has the sole right to vote and Transfer (as defined below in Section 3(a)) the Subject Shares set forth
opposite its name on Schedule A hereto, and none of such Subject Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting or the Transfer of the Subject Shares, 

 except as provided by this Agreement (it being understood that any pledge of the Pledged Shares (as
defined below) shall not be a breach of this representation). Such Stockholder has all requisite power and authority, and, if such Stockholder is a natural person, the legal capacity, to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations
hereunder. To the extent that such Stockholder is an entity and not an individual, such Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by such Stockholder and the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Stockholder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by, and
constitutes a valid and binding agreement of, such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws and except that the
availability of equitable remedies, including specific performance, is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for such remedy may be brought (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

  
 (ii) Neither the execution and delivery of
this Agreement nor the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder will result in a violation of, or a default under, or conflict with, (A) if such Stockholder is an entity, any provision of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws,
partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or similar organizational documents, (B) any contract, trust, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind (other than as may relate to the Pledged Shares but
subject to the proviso set forth in (iii) or (iv) below) to which such Stockholder is a party or bound or to which the Subject Shares are subject, except, in the case of clause (B) above, as would not prevent, delay or otherwise materially impair
such Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. Execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder will not reasonably be expected to violate, or require any consent, approval or notice under, any
provision of any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to such Stockholder or the Subject Shares, except (x) for any reports under Sections 13(d) and 16 of the Exchange Act as may be required in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or (y) as would not reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or otherwise materially impair such Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. 
  
 (iii) If the Stockholder is a married natural person and the
Subject Shares of the Stockholder constitute community property or spousal approval is otherwise required for this Agreement to be legal, valid and binding, then, to the extent so required, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of, the Stockholder’s spouse, enforceable against such spouse in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. No Trust Stockholder requires the consent of any
beneficiary to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or to the performance by such Trust Stockholder of its obligations hereunder, except for any consents duly obtained as of the date hereof and which will remain in full force and effect at
such time or times as may be necessary to duly consent to such Trust Stockholder’s performance of its obligations hereunder. 
  

 2 

 (iv) The Subject Shares and the certificates representing such Subject Shares are held by
such Stockholder, or by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of such Stockholder, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances whatsoever,
except (A) any encumbrances arising hereunder or, with respect to a Trust Stockholder, under the existing terms of the trust governing such Trust Stockholder or (B) any such encumbrances arising pursuant to the pledge of any Subject Shares by such
Stockholder prior to the date hereof to a financial institution or a brokerage firm (the “Pledged Shares”); provided, however, that such Stockholder represents that any such arrangement regarding such Pledged Shares
shall not prevent, delay or otherwise materially impair such Stockholder’s ability to execute and deliver this Agreement or perform its obligations hereunder and such Stockholder shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgment by
the pledgee of the terms of this Agreement and such pledgee’s agreement to vote the Pledged Shares (if and to the extent the voting power of the Pledged Shares is being or to be exercised by pledgee) in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

  
 (v) No broker, investment banker, financial
advisor or other person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of such Stockholder in connection with its entering into this
Agreement.

Merger, the adoption by Prime of the Merger Agreement, the approval of the terms thereof, and each of the other transactions expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (b) against any transaction, agreement, matter or Prime Acquisition

hereof (i) sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, “Transfer”), or consent to any Transfer of, any Subject Shares or any interest therein, except pursuant to the Merger, (ii)
enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to any Transfer of any or all of the Subject Shares or any interest therein, (iii) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization in or with respect to the Subject Shares,

 3 

 into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or voting arrangement with respect to the Subject Shares;
provided, that any such Stockholder may Transfer any of the Subject Shares to any other Stockholder who is on the date hereof a party to this Agreement, or to any other person or entity that, prior to or coincident with such Transfer,
executes an agreement to vote such Subject Shares in accordance with Section 2; provided, further, that the restrictions in this Section 3 shall not be deemed violated by any Transfer of Subject Shares pursuant to a cashless
exercise of stock options. 
  
 (b) Such Stockholder hereby waives
any rights of appraisal, or rights to dissent from the Merger, that such Stockholder may have. 
  
 (c) Such Stockholder shall not take any action prohibited by Section 7.2 of the Merger Agreement.

and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of such Subject Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation such Stockholder’s heirs, guardians, administrators
or successors. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of Prime affecting the Common Stock, or the acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock or other
voting securities of Prime by any Stockholder, the number of Shares listed on Schedule A beside the name of such Stockholder shall be adjusted appropriately and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional
shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of Prime issued to or acquired by such Stockholder.

Stockholder’s Subject Shares. 
  
 7. Further

knowing breach hereof prior to such termination.

 9. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed given if delivered personally or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice): (i) if to Prime or HealthTronics,
