VOTING AND PROXY AGREEMENT
     THIS VOTING AND PROXY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 16, 2010 by and among Generation Capital Partners VRC LP, a Delaware limited partnership, Generation Members’ Fund II LP, a Delaware limited partnership and Generation Capital Partners II LP, a Delaware limited partnership (each a “Stockholder,” and together, the “Stockholders”) and Viking Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”).
     WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, Parent, Viking Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Virtual Radiologic Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company;
     WHEREAS, each Stockholder owns the number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth opposite its name on Schedule I hereto as of the date of this Agreement (such Company Common Stock held by each Stockholder as set forth on Schedule I, together with any other shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by each Stockholder after the date hereof and during the term of this Agreement, whether by purchase or upon exercise of options, warrants, conversion of other convertible securities or otherwise, being collectively referred to herein as the “Shares”);
     WHEREAS, obtaining appropriate stockholder approval is a condition to the Merger;
     WHEREAS, as an inducement to Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Stockholders have agreed to enter into this Agreement; and
     WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
          Section 1. No Shop
               (a) General. Until the Termination Date, each Stockholder shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, stockholders, controlled Affiliates, representatives or agents (collectively, the “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish or disclose to any third Person non-public information with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) negotiate or engage in discussions with any third Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) enter into any agreement (whether or not binding) or agreement in principle with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or (v) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, any effort or attempt by another Person to do or seek any of the foregoing.

 


 

               (b) Ongoing Discussions. Each Stockholder shall (and shall cause its Representatives to) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. Each Stockholder agrees, until the Termination Date, not to (and to cause its Representatives not to) release any third party from the confidentiality and standstill provisions of any agreement relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
               (c) Fiduciary Duties. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict any Affiliate or designee of the Stockholders who serves as a member of the Board of Directors in acting in his or her capacity as a director of the Company and exercising his or her fiduciary duties in such capacity.
          Section 2. Agreement to Vote; Restrictions on Dispositions; Irrevocable Proxy.
               (a) Agreement to Vote. Each Stockholder hereby agrees, until the Termination Date, to vote its Shares or execute a written consent in respect thereof, (i) for approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement (as amended from time to time) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as applicable, at any meeting or meetings of the stockholders of the Company at which the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereunder are submitted for the vote of such Stockholder or in any written consent in respect thereof, (ii) against any other Acquisition Proposal, without regard to any Board recommendation to stockholders concerning such Acquisition Proposal, and without regard to the terms of such Acquisition Proposal, (iii) against any agreement, amendment of any agreement (including the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws), or any other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or discourage the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, other than those specifically contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, and (iv) against any action, agreement, transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by each Stockholder in accordance with the procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for the purposes of recording such vote (or consent).
               (b) Restrictions on Dispositions. Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees, until the Termination Date, that, without the prior written consent of Parent, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, give, pledge, encumber, assign, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise transfer or dispose of, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding to sell, any Shares (collectively, “Transfer”) other than to its Affiliates, provided that as a condition to such Transfer, such Affiliate shall execute an agreement that is identical to this Agreement (except to reflect the change of such Stockholder).
               (c) Irrevocable Proxy. In furtherance of each Stockholder’s agreement in Section 2(a) above and subject to Section 2(f) and the last two sentences of this Section 2(c), each Stockholder hereby irrevocably (until the Termination Date)

2


 

appoints Parent or Parent’s designee as such Stockholder’s agent, attorney and proxy, to vote (or cause to be voted) such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with Section 2(a) hereof. This proxy is irrevocable (pursuant to Section 212(e) of the DGCL) until the Termination Date and coupled with an interest and is granted in consideration of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub entering into the Merger Agreement. In the event that such Stockholder fails for any reason to vote its Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 2(a) hereof, then the proxyholder shall have the right to vote such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 2(c). The vote of the proxyholder shall control in any conflict between the vote by the proxyholder of the Shares and a vote by such Stockholder of its Shares.
               (d) Revocation of Prior Proxies. Each Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney given by such Stockholder prior to the execution hereof with respect to any Shares inconsistent with the terms of this Section 2.
               (e) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each Stockholder, severally but not jointly, hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, such Stockholder, directly or indirectly, (i) has not entered into, and shall not enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Shares owned beneficially or of record by such Stockholder, (ii) has not granted, and shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, a consent or power of attorney with respect to the Shares owned beneficially or of record by such Stockholder and (iii) has not entered into any agreement or knowingly taken any action (and shall not enter into any agreement or knowingly take any action ) that would make any representation or warranty of such Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing such Stockholder from performing any of its material obligations under this Agreement.
               (f) Except as set forth in Section 2(a), no Stockholder shall be restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall give Parent or Parent’s designee the right to vote any Shares at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company other than as provided in Section 2(c).
          Section 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Stockholders. Each Stockholder, severally but not jointly, represents and warrants to Parent as follows: (i) such Stockholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (ii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Stockholder; (iii) assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of such Stockholder enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general application which may affect the enforcement of creditors, rights generally and by general equitable principles; (iv) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not conflict with or

3


 

violate any law or agreement binding upon it, nor require any consent, notification, regulatory filing or approval and (v) except for restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement and except for such transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the “blue sky” laws of the various States of the United States, each Stockholder owns, beneficially, all of its Shares, as applicable, free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim or other lien and has voting power and power of disposition with respect to all of its Shares, with no restrictions on such Stockholder’s rights of voting or disposition pertaining thereto and no Person other than such Stockholder has any right to direct or approve the voting or disposition of any of its Shares, except in the case of clause (iv) and (v) for violations, breaches or defaults that would not in the aggregate materially impair the ability of such Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event a Stockholder (or any Representative of a Stockholder) is a director or officer of the Company, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to require such Stockholder (or Representative), solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, to act or fail to act in any manner inconsistent with (i) his or her fiduciary duties in such capacity and (ii) the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, no Stockholder (or any Representative of a Stockholder) who is or becomes (during the term hereof) a director or officer of the Company makes any agreement or understanding herein solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer, and nothing herein will limit or affect, or give rise to any liability of any Stockholder (or Representative) solely in such Person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company.
          Section 4. Effectiveness and Termination. It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement that the Merger Agreement shall have been fully executed and delivered and be in full force and effect, and this Agreement shall become effective at such time. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon (i) the mutual written consent of the Parent and the Stockholders, (ii) any material amendment, supplement or modification to the Merger Agreement solely with respect to a decrease in the Merger Consideration or a change in the form of the consideration payable to stockholders or (iii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms or upon the consummation of the Merger (other than with respect to this Section 4 and Section 5, which shall survive any termination of this Agreement) (with respect to each of (i), (ii) and (iii), as applicable, the “Termination Date”).
          Section 5. Miscellaneous.
               (a) Waiver of Appraisal Rights. Each Stockholder hereby waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that it may have (if any) under applicable law.
               (b) Expenses. Each party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
               (c) Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally, (ii) on the third business day after being mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, (iii) the next business day after delivery to a recognized overnight courier, or (iv) upon

               (i) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement.
               (j) Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative. The parties hereto acknowledge that money damages are not an adequate remedy for violations of this Agreement and that any party, in addition to any other rights and remedies which the parties may have hereunder or at law or in equity, may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunction or such other relief as such court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this Agreement or prevent any violation hereof and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such rights, powers or remedies by such party.
               (k) No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.
               (l) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

Each of the parties hereto, irrevocably and unconditionally, waives (and agrees not to plead or claim) any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any state or federal court of the United States located in the State of Delaware , or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Stockholder also agrees that any final and unappealable judgment against such party in connection with any such action, suit or other proceeding shall be conclusive and binding on such party and that such award or judgment may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment.
               (n) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Stockholder hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with

7


 

this Agreement.

               (o) Drafting and Representation. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement will be interpreted for or against any party because that party or its legal representative drafted the provision.
