Pursuant to the Agreement, Brauser also agreed (i) to certain non-solicitation obligations contained therein, (ii) that he and his affiliates will not disparage or assist or cooperate with any person or entity seeking to publicly disparage or economically harm the Company, and (iii) that Brauser and his affiliates will not initiate any lawsuit, claim, or proceeding with respect to any claims against the Company, except (with designated exceptions) for any legal proceeding initiated solely to remedy a breach of or to enforce the Agreement.
With respect to each annual or special meeting of the Company's stockholders until the Expiration Date of the Agreement, Brauser has agreed to vote the shares of the Company's common stock or any other securities entitled to vote then held by him or his affiliates in accordance with the Board's recommendations on director proposals, provided there is a change in no more than 25% of the current directors (not including changes resulting from a director's death or resignation), and the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The Company agreed (i) that the remaining unvested 166,666 Restricted Stock Units previously granted to Brauser in accordance with the 2018 RSU Agreement will continue to vest on July 1, 2021, in accordance with and subject to all other provisions and conditions of such grant, (ii) to amend the 2020 RSU Agreement, previously granting Brauser 30,000 Restricted Stock Units such that the 30,000 Restricted Stock Units will continue to vest 33-1/3% on November 1, 2021, 66-2/3% on November 1, 2022, and 100% on November 1, 2023, without certain Company performance criteria, subject to all other provisions and conditions of such grant, (iii) to include shares of the Company's common stock held by Brauser or his affiliates in any registration statement the Company files for the benefit of selling stockholders at any time when Brauser or his affiliates beneficially own 10% or more of the Company's common stock, and (iv) to not initiate any lawsuit, claim, or proceeding with respect to any claims against Brauser and his affiliates, except (with designated exceptions) for any legal proceeding initiated solely to remedy a breach of or to enforce the Agreement.
