ARTICLE I

VOTING MATTERS

Section 1.1Agreement to Vote. The Shareholder hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, at any duly called meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) of the RMT Partner shareholders, and in any other circumstance upon which a vote, consent or other approval (including an action by written consent) is sought from the RMT Partner shareholders, the Shareholder shall, if a meeting is held (including any adjournment or postponement thereof), appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause the Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and it shall vote, consent or approve (or cause to be voted, consented or approved), in person or by proxy, all the Subject Shares (a) in favor of the RMT Partner Share Issuance and any proposal or action presented to effectuate the foregoing; and (b) against any proposal or action to approve any action or agreement that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of RMT Partner or any RMT Partner Subsidiary under the Merger Agreement. The Shareholder agrees that any vote by the Shareholder that is not in accordance with thisSection 1.1 shall be considered null and void. The Shareholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person prior to the termination of this Agreement to vote or give instructions in a manner inconsistent with thisSection 1.1.

Section 1.2Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney. Solely in the event of a failure by the Shareholder to act in accordance with the Shareholder’s obligations as to voting pursuant toSection 1.1, the Shareholder hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by Law) grants to and appoints Edward Breen and Erik Hoover (each, an “Attorney”), in their respective capacities as officers of Remainco, and each of them individually, the Shareholder’s proxy andattorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution and resubstitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Shareholder, to represent, vote and exercise all voting and related rights, sign or execute forms of proxy and/or such other deeds or documents (including under seal, if necessary or desirable) and to do such other acts and things as may be necessary (including, without limitation, the power to execute and deliver written consents) with respect to the Subject Shares owned or held by the Shareholder regarding the matters referred to inSection 1.1 and as necessary to give effect to the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance withSection 4.1, to the same extent and with the same effect as the Shareholder might or could do under applicable law, rules and regulations. The proxy granted pursuant to thisSection 1.2 is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable to the extent permitted by Law. The Shareholder will take such further action and will execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. The Shareholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney granted with respect to any of the Shareholder’s Subject Shares that may have heretofore been appointed or granted with respect to the matters referred to in thisSection 1.2, and no subsequent proxy (whether revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney shall be given by the Shareholder with respect to the matters referred to in thisSection 1.2. Any action authorized under this power of attorney may be taken by any such person acting alone. The Shareholder irrevocably undertakes to ratify any act committed in the exercise of the power underSection 1.2 if called upon to do so. The Shareholder undertakes and agrees: (i) to indemnify the Attorney and against all actions, claims, demands, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses and other liabilities whatsoever which may be made against the Attorney or for which the Attorney may become liable by reason of acting
