AvantGo and AvantGo Sub have not received any notice from any previous or current employee, consultant or other individual alleging that such violation has occurred. AvantGo and AvantGo Sub are not aware that any officer or employee critical to the future success of AvantGo and AvantGo Sub, or that any group of such employees, intends to terminate their employment with AvantGo or AvantGo Sub, nor does AvantGo or AvantGo Sub intend to terminate the employment of any of the foregoing. 3.14.

For purposes of this Agreement, in the case ------------- of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Taxable period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be apportioned and taken into account consistent with the applicable Tax, as allocated in the preceding sentence. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company. 5.2. Records Retention.

Indemnification Claims Procedures. --------------------------------- (a) Promptly following the receipt of notice by the AvantGo Indemnitees of a Third Party Claim which the AvantGo Indemnitees believe may result in a demand for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof, AvantGo shall notify the Stockholders of such claim. Promptly following the receipt of notice by the Stockholder Indemnitees of a Third Party Claim which the Stockholder Indemnitees believe may result in a demand for indemnification pursuant to 41 Section 6.4 hereof, the Stockholders shall notify AvantGo of such claim. The party receiving the notice of the Third Party Claim shall notify the other party hereto of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is substantially prejudiced as a result of the failure to give such notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether it elects to control the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, it shall do so at its own expense with counsel of its own choosing and it shall acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim as otherwise set forth in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Third Party Claim or fails to pursue such Third Party Claim reasonably diligently, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control the defense of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its own choosing. The party that litigates or contests the Third Party Claim shall keep the other party fully advised of the progress and disposition of such claim and the other party shall cooperate fully with the litigating party and its counsel in the defense of any such claim. (b) In the event the Indemnifying Party elects not to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim or fails to reasonably diligently pursue the defense of such a claim and the Indemnified Party litigates or otherwise contests or settles the Third Party Claim, then, provided that a final determination has been made that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for all amounts paid to settle such claim or all amounts paid in satisfaction of a judgment against the Indemnified Party in contesting such claim and in providing its right to indemnification hereunder, all in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no settlement of any Third Party Claim shall be made by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (c) No Third Party Claim will be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if such claim asserts that the Indemnifying Party is jointly and severally liable and the Indemnified Party shall be fully released from all liability relating to such Third Party Claim in connection with such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to obtain the consent of the Indemnified Party. If, however, the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to a bona fide offered settlement which the Indemnifying Party wishes to accept, the Indemnified Party may continue to pursue such Third Party Claim free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, at the sole expense of the Indemnified Party. In such event, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of the offer of settlement which the Indemnified Party refused to accept, plus the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party of the offer of settlement, all in accordance with the terms of this Article VI, and, upon the payment or receipt of such amount, as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall have no further liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnified Party any additional expenses incurred by such Indemnifying Party as a result of the decision of the Indemnified Party to pursue the matter. 42 6.10.
