These standstill restrictions include not (i) engaging in any solicitation of proxies or consents with respect to the election or removal of directors; (ii) knowingly encouraging or advising any person with respect to the giving or withholding of any proxy, consent or other authority to vote; (iii) forming or joining a "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) with respect to the common stock and other voting securities of Lionbridge; (iv) beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the voting power of, or economic exposure to, the common stock of Lionbridge; (v) selling voting rights decoupled from the underlying common stock of Lionbridge; (vi) making or participating in any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation, acquisition, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or extraordinary transaction involving Lionbridge and its subsidiaries; (vi) seeking, alone or in concert with others, representation on the Board or the removal of any member of the Board, except as provided in the Agreement; (vii) making any stockholder proposal; (viii) requesting books or records of Lionbridge; or (x) instituting any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding against Lionbridge.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investors are permitted to make stockholder proposal for inclusion in Lionbridge's proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act for Lionbridge's 2018 annual meeting of stockholders.
