This Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) contains representations and warranties that Citrix Systems, Inc. or its permitted assignees (“Citrix”), Bytemobile, Inc. (“Bytemobile”) and Beringer Acquisition Corporation made to one another. These representations and warranties were made only for the purposes of the Agreement and solely for the benefit of Bytemobile and Citrix as of specific dates, may be subject to important limitations and qualifications agreed to by Bytemobile and Citrix and included in confidential disclosure schedules provided by Bytemobile to Citrix in connection with the signing of the Agreement, and may not be complete. Furthermore, these representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between Bytemobile and Citrix instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of the filing of the Agreement by Citrix with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, you should not rely upon the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they were intended to be for the benefit of, and to be limited to, Bytemobile and Citrix.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 31, 2012 (the “Agreement Date”), by and among Citrix Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (or an Affiliate designated by Citrix Systems, Inc. in writing prior to the Closing) (“Buyer”), Beringer Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), Bytemobile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the Holder Representative.

RECITALS

A. Buyer, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effectuate a merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with this Agreement and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and, to the extent applicable, the California Corporations Code (the “CCC”), with the Company to be the surviving corporation of the Merger.

B. The Company Board has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Stockholders, (ii) adopted and approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions and (iii) resolved to recommend that the Stockholders adopt and approve this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions (collectively, the “Company Board Approval”).

C. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Buyer’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain Stockholders have entered into a voting agreement with Buyer.

D. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Buyer’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain Employees (the “Signing Employees”) have entered into with Buyer an Employment Agreement, a Confidential Information, Inventions Assignment and Noncompetition Agreement and a General Release (collectively, the “Signing Employee Agreements”), in each case which shall by their terms become effective upon the Effective Time.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1. The Merger. At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of the DGCL and, to the extent applicable, the CCC, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2. Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the consummation (the “Closing”) of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements (collectively, the “Transactions”) will take place as promptly as practicable, but no later than three (3) Business Days, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article V (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, One Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts unless another place or time is agreed to by Buyer and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence the Closing would occur during the period beginning on the day that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the end of a fiscal quarter of Citrix Systems, Inc. and ending on the last day of such fiscal quarter, then the Closing shall instead take place on the Business Day immediately following the last day of such fiscal quarter or on such other date as Buyer and the Company may agree, subject nonetheless to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article V. The date upon which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a properly completed and executed Certificate of Merger satisfying the requirements of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of such filing being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”). The Closing shall be deemed effective as of 11:59 PM Pacific time on the Closing Date.

1.3. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all rights and property of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts and liabilities of the Company and Merger Sub shall become debts and liabilities of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4. Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety in the form set forth on Exhibit A until thereafter amended as provided by applicable Law and such Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) At the Effective Time, the By-laws of Merger Sub shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended.

 

- 2 -


1.5. Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the director(s) of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the initial director(s) of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6. Merger Consideration; Effect on Company Capital Stock; Escrow; Adjustment.

(a) Merger Consideration. The maximum aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer and Merger Sub in the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) shall be an amount, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.6(e), equal to: (1) $435,000,000, (2) minus the Estimated Indebtedness, if any, as set forth on the Allocation Certificate, (3) minus the Working Capital Deficiency, if any, or plus the Working Capital Excess, if any, as set forth on the Allocation Certificate, and (4) minus the Pre-Closing Special Litigation Matter Resolution Amount (if any). The Merger Consideration shall be paid in cash (without interest).

(b) Effect on Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or the Stockholders:

(i) Cancellation of Company-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Capital Stock owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company at the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(ii) Company Capital Stock. Each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares or as set forth in Section 1.6(b)(i)) will be cancelled and extinguished and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the escrow contribution provisions set forth in Section 1.6(c) and the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI hereof.

(iii) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Escrow. At Closing, Buyer shall deposit with the Escrow Agent a portion of the Merger Consideration equal to the sum of the Indemnification Escrow Amount plus the Special Litigation Escrow Amount plus the Holder Representative Escrow Amount. The Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Special Litigation Escrow Amount and the Holder Representative Escrow Amount shall be held in trust by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms

 

- 3 -


of the escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”) and shall be released in accordance with the terms thereof. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Special Litigation Escrow Amount and the Holder Representative Escrow Amount each shall be treated as an installment obligation for purposes of Section 453 of the Code, and no party shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with such characterization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions in this Section 1.6(c) with respect to the Special Litigation Escrow Amount shall not apply if there is a Special Litigation Matter Resolution prior to the Closing.

(d) Allocation Certificate. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a certificate (the “Allocation Certificate”) signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company certifying as to the accuracy and completeness, in each case as of the Closing, of:

(i) an estimated unaudited consolidated balance sheet (the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet”) of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of 11:59 PM Pacific time on the Closing Date, which Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet shall (1) be substantially in the form of the Company Balance Sheet, (2) be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes) on a basis consistent with and utilizing the same principles, practices and policies as those used in preparing the Company Balance Sheet and (3) set forth the Company’s estimate of (A) the Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”), (B) the Working Capital Deficiency or Working Capital Excess, as applicable, and (C) the aggregate Indebtedness of the Company and the Subsidiaries (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), in each case as of 11:59 PM Pacific time on the Closing Date and as derived from the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet;

(ii) the aggregate unpaid Acquisition Expenses, together with a description and the amount of each element thereof and check mailing and wire instructions with respect to each element thereof, including the amount of each Banker Fee;

(iii) an itemization of each element of the Estimated Indebtedness, including the Loans;

(iv) the Company’s calculation of the Merger Consideration, the Fully Diluted Common Stock Outstanding, the Aggregate Option Exercise Price, the Aggregate Warrant Exercise Price, the Per Share Merger Consideration, the number of Company Warrants, the aggregate amount of all Company Warrant Payments, the number of Company Options, and the aggregate amount of all Company Option Payments;

(v) (1) the identity and mailing address of each record holder of Company Capital Stock and the number and type of shares of Company Capital Stock held by each such Stockholder; (2) the identity and mailing address of record of each holder of a Company Option, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Options held by such holder, the date of grant, the exercise prices and vesting schedules thereof, and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each Company Option that is qualified as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code; and (3) the identity and mailing address of each record holder of a Company Warrant, the number and type of shares of Company Capital Stock subject to the Company Warrants held by such holder, and the date of grant, the exercise prices and vesting schedules (if applicable) thereof;

 

- 4 -


(vi) (1) the Merger Consideration to be paid to each Stockholder (net of such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Special Litigation Escrow Amount and the Holder Representative Escrow Amount) with respect to each Certificate held by such Stockholder; (2) the Merger Consideration to be paid to each Stockholder with respect to each Certificate held by such Stockholder (inclusive of such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Special Litigation Escrow Amount and the Holder Representative Escrow Amount); (3) each Holder’s Pro Rata Share; (4) each Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Special Litigation Escrow Amount and the Holder Representative Escrow Amount, respectively, expressed as a dollar amount and as a percentage; (5) the Company Option Payment due to each holder of a Company Option; (6) the Company Warrant Payment due to each holder of a Company Warrant (net of such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Special Litigation Escrow Amount and the Holder Representative Escrow Amount) with respect to each Company Warrant held by such holder; and (7) the Company Warrant Payment due to each holder of a Company Warrant (inclusive of such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Special Litigation Escrow Amount and the Holder Representative Escrow Amount) with respect to each Company Warrant held by such holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions in this Section 1.6(d)(vi) with respect to the Special Litigation Escrow Amount shall not apply if there is a Special Litigation Matter Resolution prior to the Closing.

The Company shall give Buyer timely access to all supporting workpapers used in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Allocation Certificate, which Allocation Certificate, when approved by Buyer, shall be deemed the definitive calculation of the Merger Consideration payable to the Stockholders, the Company Warrant Holders and holders of Company Options in connection with the Merger and the disbursement thereof.

(e) Adjustment to Merger Consideration.

(i) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer and/or the Surviving Corporation shall prepare and deliver to the Holder Representative an unaudited consolidated balance sheet (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of 11:59 PM Pacific time on the Closing Date. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be substantially in the form of the Company Balance Sheet and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes) and on a basis consistent with and utilizing the same principles, practices and policies as those used in preparing the Company Balance Sheet to the extent that those principles, practices and policies are consistent with GAAP. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall set forth the Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital”)and the aggregate Indebtedness of the Company and the Subsidiaries (the “Closing Indebtedness”), in each case as of 11:59 PM Pacific time on the Closing Date, each as derived from the Closing Date Balance Sheet. The Holder Representative shall be given timely access to all supporting workpapers used in the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

(ii) The Holder Representative may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet or the calculation of Closing Working Capital or Closing

 

- 5 -


Indebtedness by notifying Buyer in writing of each disputed item, specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail (to the extent such information is available to the Holder Representative at such time), the basis for such dispute, within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s or the Surviving Corporation’s, as the case may be, delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet pursuant to Section 1.6(e)(i) above. If the Holder Representative delivers a notice of disagreement within such thirty (30)-day period, the Holder Representative and Buyer shall, during the forty-five (45) days following such delivery, each use good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to finally determine the Closing Date Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Indebtedness. If the Holder Representative and Buyer are unable to reach agreement concerning the Closing Date Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Indebtedness during such forty-five (45)-day period, they shall promptly thereafter submit the dispute to the Accounting Referee for resolution pursuant to Section 1.6(f).

(iii) The Closing Date Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively determined for purposes of this Agreement upon the date (the “Determination Date”) that is the earlier to occur of (1) the failure of the Holder Representative to notify Buyer of a dispute within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet as set forth in Section 1.6(e)(ii) above, (2) the written resolution of all disputes pursuant to Section 1.6(e)(ii) by Buyer and the Holder Representative, and (3) the resolution of all disputes by the Accounting Referee pursuant to Section 1.6(f). Within three (3) Business Days of the Determination Date: if the difference of (A) the Closing Working Capital plus the Closing Indebtedness minus (B) the Estimated Working Capital plus the Estimated Indebtedness is not zero, then (1) to the extent such difference is negative (the absolute value of such negative amount, the “Buyer Adjustment Amount”), the Holder Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to transfer from the Indemnification Escrow Amount to Buyer an amount equal to the Buyer Adjustment Amount, and the Buyer Adjustment Amount shall be deemed a decrease to the Merger Consideration, and (2) to the extent such difference is positive (such positive amount, the “Holder Adjustment Amount”), Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid the Holder Adjustment Amount to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Holders in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares, and the Holder Adjustment Amount shall be deemed an increase to the Merger Consideration. For purposes of the calculations set forth in this Section 1.6(e)(iii) the Estimated Indebtedness and Closing Indebtedness shall be treated as negative amounts.

(f) Adjustment Dispute Resolution. If the Holder Representative and Buyer are unable to reach agreement concerning the Closing Date Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Indebtedness pursuant to Section 1.6(e), they shall submit such dispute to Deloitte LLP or, if not available, such other nationally recognized independent accounting expert selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to the Holder Representative (the “Accounting Referee”) for resolution pursuant to this Section 1.6(f) and instruct the Accounting Referee to review the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of final determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Indebtedness, as the case may be. In making such determination and calculations, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Date Balance Sheet and/or Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Indebtedness as to which the Holder Representative has disagreed in writing. Buyer and the Holder Representative shall instruct the Accounting Referee

 

- 6 -


to use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Holder Representative and Buyer as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after submission) a report setting forth the Accounting Referee’s calculation of the disputed amounts. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Holder Representative, the Holders, the Company Warrant Holders, the holders of Company Options, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation and the resulting Closing Date Balance Sheet and calculation of Closing Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness shall be final for all purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be paid 50% by the Holders and 50% by Buyer; provided, that if the difference between the Buyer Adjustment Amount or Holder Adjustment Amount, as applicable, that would have resulted from the use of the proposed calculations of one of the parties hereto (the “Erroneous Party”) compared to the final determination of the Accounting Referee is more than twice as great as the difference between the Buyer Adjustment Amount or Holder Adjustment Amount, as applicable, that would have resulted from the use of the other party’s proposed calculations compared to the final determination of the Accounting Referee, the Erroneous Party shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee. Buyer and the Holder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to withdraw from the Indemnification Escrow Amount the portion of such fees and expenses for which the Holders are responsible and Buyer and the Holder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to transfer such amount from the Indemnification Escrow Amount to Buyer.

(g) Withholding Rights; Deductions from Merger Consideration. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Buyer, the Payment Agent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to any Person under this Agreement, the Company Incentive Plans, the Company Options, the Option Cancellation Letters, the Company Warrants, the Company Warrant Termination Letters, or any Related Agreements such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or any other Tax withholding obligation with respect to the Transactions or the exercise, cancellation or cash out of any Company Stock Right or the vesting of Company Restricted Stock under the Code or any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Surviving Corporation, Buyer, the Payment Agent or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, shall pay over to the appropriate Governmental Entity amounts withheld under this Section 1.6(g).

1.7. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a Stockholder who demands and perfects appraisal or dissenters’ rights for such shares in accordance with the DGCL or the CCC (if applicable) and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal or dissenters’ rights (collectively, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the DGCL or the CCC (if applicable).

(b) If any Stockholder who holds Dissenting Shares as of the Effective Time effectively withdraws or loses (through passage of time, failure to demand or perfect, or otherwise) the right to demand and perfect appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or the

 

- 7 -

6.4. Procedures.

(a) General. If an Indemnified Party desires to bring a claim for indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party (or Buyer, on such Indemnified Party’s behalf) shall first deliver to the Holder Representative a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) that:

(i) states that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it may or will incur liability for Losses, for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii) specifies in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable and available, the Losses included in the amount so stated, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder.

(b) Objections. If the Holder Representative objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Holder Representative shall deliver a written notice specifying in reasonable detail (to the extent such information is available to the Holder Representative at such time) the basis for such objection and the amount in dispute to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Holder Representative of such Claim Certificate. Thereafter, the Holder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties for a period of not less than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of such written objection with respect to each of such claims to which the Holder Representative has objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative agree with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement and, if applicable, an instruction to the Escrow Agent. Should the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative fail to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts, then after the sixty (60)-day period referred to above each party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving the claim for indemnification. Any settlement without the consent of the Holder Representative shall not be determinative of the amount of indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 6.2(a).

 

- 69 -


(c) Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of any claim brought by any third party, including the Special Litigation Matter (a “Third Party Claim”); provided, however, that any settlement of any such Third Party Claim shall be effected with the prior written consent of the Holder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but if such consent is unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed then, with respect to any Third Party Claim other than the Special Litigation Matter, such consent shall not be required. If any such action or claim is so settled with the consent of the Holder Representative, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of any Loss to which the Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to Section 6.2(a) relating thereto, including costs and expenses (internal and out-of-pocket), including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and expenses of investigation and defense, in each case, incurred in connection with and/or pursuit of such final judgment or settlement. If any such action or claim is so settled without the consent of the Holders Representative, such settlement shall not be determinative of whether any Indemnifiable Party is entitled to recover any Loss under this Article VI or, if such Indemnifiable Party is entitled to recover any Losses, the amount of such Losses. The Indemnified Party shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide information regarding any such Third Party Claim, excluding any attorney-client privileged information, to the Holder Representative as may be reasonably requested from time-to-time by the Holder Representative and (ii) consult with the Holder Representative regarding the defense of any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that any such consultation shall in no way limit or be deemed to limit the Indemnified Party’s right to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim in its sole discretion.

(d) Holder Defense; Settlement. In the event the Indemnified Party elects not to defend the Third Party Claim, the Holder Representative may defend such claim at the Holders’ sole cost and expense with counsel selected by the Holder Representative, such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In such event, neither the Holders nor the Holder Representative shall have any right to settle, adjust or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the express written consent of the Indemnified Party against whom the Third-Party Claim has been asserted, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but if such consent is unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed then such consent shall not be required.

(e) Agreed Claims. Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which the Holder Representative did not object in writing by 11:59 PM Pacific time on the thirtieth (30th) day following the receipt by the Holder Representative of such Claim Certificate, claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 6.4(b) and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of resolution by arbitration between the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative or of a final non-appealable judicial determination between the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to payment for any Agreed Claims within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the amount of any such Agreed Claims.

(f) Timing of Claim Certificate. The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to determine the timing of delivery of any Claim Certificate in their sole discretion, provided that

 

- 70 -


the Claim Certificate is delivered prior to the earlier of (a) the end of the statute of limitations for such claim for indemnification (but in no event prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations that would apply to any Third Party Claim with respect to such claim) or (b) the survival period of the applicable representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Section 6.1. No delay in providing such Claim Certificate shall affect an Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Holder Representative or the Holders are materially prejudiced thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Claim Certificate with respect to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(ix) must be brought within the survival period of the underlying Third Party Claim to which such Losses from the defense of which relate.

6.5. Merger Consideration Adjustment. Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, the Holder Representative and the Holders agree to treat each indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VI as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax Law pursuant to a determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

6.6. Holder Representative; Power of Attorney.

(a) Appointment; Authority. By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Stockholders and by execution of a Company Warrant Termination Letter by each Company Warrant Holder, each Holder (regardless of whether or not such Holder votes in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger, whether at a meeting or by written consent in lieu thereof) hereby initially appoints, as of the Agreement Date, Shareholder Representative Services LLC (together with its permitted successors, the “Holder Representative”), as his, her or its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to enter into any Related Agreement and any other agreement in connection with the Transactions, and to: (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Party) and/or the Escrow Agent relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any of the Transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) authorize deliveries (including by means of not objecting to claims) to Buyer of cash from the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Special Litigation Escrow Amount and the Holder Representative Escrow Amount; (iii) object to any claims pursuant to Section 6.4; (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and agree to arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims; (v) assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and agree to arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any other claim by any Indemnified Party, against any such Holder or by any such Holder against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Holder, in each case relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (vi) amend this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Related Agreement or any other agreement referred to herein or contemplated hereby; (vii) take any and all actions and do any and all things which this Agreement specifies that the Holder Representative can or shall do and (viii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Holder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance.

notice to Buyer and with Buyer’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No bond shall be required of the Holder Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Holder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Holders. The Holder Representative accepts its appointment hereunder.

(b) No Liability. The Holder Representative shall not be liable to any Holder for any act done or omitted under this Agreement or under the Escrow Agreement as the Holder Representative while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Holders shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Holder Representative and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Holder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder in each case as such loss, liability or expense is incurred or suffered; provided that in the event it is finally adjudicated that such loss, liability or expense or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence or bad faith of the Holder Representative, the Holder Representative will reimburse the Holders the amount of such indemnified loss, liability or expense attributable to such gross negligence or bad faith.
