If Citrix does not receive notice from Avistar disagreeing with Citrix’s conclusions within seven (7) Business Days of Avistar’s receipt of Citrix’s Source Code Release Notice, then Citrix shall be entitled to exercise the Maintenance License for its term provided that the Source Code Release Condition continues. The parties shall resolve any and all disputes regarding the Source Code Release Condition in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 11.6.3.

The arbitrator shall render a decision, which simply sides with one side or the other, within two (2) Business Days after the hearing. The rulings of the arbitrator shall be binding, and non-appealable and may be entered as a final judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its choice of law principles, and any and all hearings or proceedings taking place in person shall take place in San Francisco, California. The expenses of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties, with each party bearing its own costs and expenses.

15. | CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. |
15.1 Each of Citrix and Avistar agrees that, with respect to Confidential Information furnished to it by the other party to this Agreement, it will maintain such information in confidence in the same manner to the same extent it protects its own confidential and/or proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. By way of illustration and not as a limitation, Confidential Information shall not be disclosed to any person except the recipient’s employees and only on a need-to-know basis where such employees shall be made aware of the information’s proprietary or confidential nature and shall be under a contractual restriction on non-disclosure and proper treatment of Confidential Information. The recipient of Confidential Information agrees that the Confidential Information received by it will be used internally solely for the purpose of this Agreement and will not be used for any other purpose whatsoever. Each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any and all employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or similar persons or entities.
15.2 This Agreement, and the information contained herein, shall be deemed the Confidential Information of each party and shall not be disclosed by either party, other than to Affiliates of the parties and the professional advisors of, investors in, acquirers and/or sublicensees of and/or lenders to the parties and/or their Affiliates (and the professional advisors of any such investors, acquirers, sublicensees or lenders); provided, however, that any such recipient is bound by a written agreement (or in the case of professional advisors, formal ethical duties) requiring such recipients to treat, hold and maintain this Agreement, and the information contained herein, as confidential information and not to use such information for any purpose other than the evaluation of the potential investment, acquisition, sublicense and/or loan transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement, and the information contained herein, may be disclosed as otherwise required pursuant to applicable law, regulation, stock market or stock exchange rule or rule of a self regulatory organization (e.g., rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the Nasdaq or the NYSE); provided, however, that a Party proposing to make such a disclosure as required by law, rule or regulation shall inform the other Party a reasonable time prior to such required disclosure, shall provide the other party with a copy of the text of such proposed disclosure sufficiently in advance of the proposed disclosure to afford such other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed disclosure (including, if applicable, the redacted version of this Agreement) and shall reasonably consider, consistent with applicable law, rule and regulation (including interpretations thereof), the requests of the other party regarding confidential treatment for such disclosure.
15.3 Each Disclosing Party understands that the Receiving Party may currently or in the future be developing information internally, or receiving information from third parties that may be similar to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Accordingly, except as set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement and the activities hereunder do not imply a restriction of the Receiving Party from developing products or services, or have products or services developed for it, that compete with the products or services contemplated by the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information provided that there is no violation of the terms of this Agreement (including this Section 15) or any use of the other party’s Intellectual Property Rights. For avoidance of doubt, this clause is not, and shall not imply, a license to any Confidential Information, Technology or Intellectual Property Right.

16. | GENERAL PROVISIONS. |
16.1 Governing Law. This Agreement and all issues or claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. The United Nations’ Convention on International Sale of Goods does not apply. All actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be brought in the state or federal courts of New York, and both parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objections as to venue or inconvenience of the forum.
16.2 Further Assurances. Each party will cooperate with the other, both during and after the Term, to execute, when reasonably requested and at the other party’s expense, any documents deemed necessary to carry out the purpose of this Agreement.
16.3 Severability; Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason in a final determination by a court validly asserting jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way and the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision which achieves the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision, nor will any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privilege that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege by such party. No approval, consent or waiver will be enforceable unless signed by the granting party referencing this Section 16.3. The remedies under this Agreement will be cumulative and not alternative and the election of one remedy for breach will not preclude pursuit of other remedies.
16.4 Headings; Construction. Headings used in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section or in any way affect this Agreement. The term “including” means “including, without limitation,” and “herein”, “hereof”, and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. The definitions of the terms herein will apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun will include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” The word “any” shall mean “any and all” unless otherwise clearly indicated by context.

EXHIBIT A-1
PRD SPECIFICATIONS
AvistarScalable high-quality delivery of Microsoft Lync
Citrix’s primary requirement is an out-of-the-box, high quality and scalable solution for delivering Microsoft Lync from XenApp and XenDesktop, that leverages the customer’s existing Lync infrastructure (server components).
Minimal change to Lync user experience in the Contacts List
Citrix’s requirement is for a simple and easy-to-use extension to the existing right-click menu of the Lync Contact List. We seek to minimize the learning curve for Lync users who move from a local install of the Lync client to a virtualized environment where the Lync client is hosted on XenApp or XenDesktop. Avistar’s current solution adds a menu item to the contact list for placing a video call. The requirement for project MDCO is to have the ability to place both video and audio calls from the Lync Contact List menu which can be accomplished by adding a menu item for placing a call with Avistar. A design goal is to eliminate this redundant menu item and simply replace the built-in Microsoft menus with menus that invoke the Avistar functionality. Towards that end, Avistar and Citrix engineers will work together in an effort to find a possible solution whereby voice and video calls can be made using the standard menu entries in the Lync user interface, rather than requiring a new menu entry. If a solution to this cannot be found then Avistar will simply add two menu items: place a video call and place an audio call. Note that the administrator always has the option of removing the Microsoft Call and Video call menu items from the UI by setting the appropriate policy.
Video Call (Session Window) look and feel
The user-experience when in a Video Call using Avistar shall remain essentially the same as the current behavior available in Avistar C3 Unified for Microsoft Lync version 2.0. The only substantial changes shall be changes to the icons and colors to better emulate the Lync iconography and to reflect the Citrix branding.
Audio Only call (Session Window) look and feel
The user-experience when in an Audio-only Call using Avistar shall differ somewhat from that in the current behavior in Avistar C3 Unified for Microsoft Lync version 2.0. The user-experience shall be redesigned to utilize less screen real-estate (i.e. minimize or remove the video window) and to add a button that can escalate the call to video.
[***] Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed pursuant to Rule 24b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the omitted portions represented by [***] have been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
-1-
Server-side components installable on XenApp and XenDesktop
The components that must be installed on the XenApp server or XenDesktop Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA) platform must be tested for compatibility with XenApp 6.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2) and XenDesktop 5.5 (Windows 7), i.e. the August 2011 releases of XenApp and XenDesktop.
License check
Citrix may choose to restrict the enhanced Lync integration feature to certain product editions (e.g. Enterprise Edition or above). The Avistar software on the server must check for a valid edition license via a Citrix-provided API. If the software is installed improperly on the wrong product edition it will warn the user in the tab object and disable the Tab object functionality.
Direct peer-to-peer media transport
In order to maximize server scalability and audio-video quality, the solution must offload all media processing to the user device (see “Broad user device support” section). VoIP and video must be transported peer-to-peer (or in the case of a conference call, from the user device to the Lync multipoint conferencing unit) rather than through the XenApp or XenDesktop server.
The solution must give preference to UDP/RTP for media transport, but fall back to a tunneled media path when using [***] and a direct UDP/RTP path is not available.
The requirement for direct peer-to-peer media transport and offloading of all media processing to the user device implies that Avistar must supply a “media engine” with state-of-the-art technologies for ensuring the highest possible audio quality over a range of network conditions. The solution is expected to include jitter buffering, echo cancellation, and packet loss concealment and it must handle local network configurations including NAT and firewalls.
To achieve peer-to-peer media transport with Microsoft Lync, the solution must include the Microsoft RT-Video and RT-Audio codecs. The architecture of the product shall enable the addition of other commercially significant new codecs such as H.264 SVC and others under maintenance.
The solution must also support the H.263, H.263+ and H.263++ video codecs.
[***]
The solution must use Microsoft Edge Server for remote peer-to-peer connection for media transport for the integration with Microsoft Lync.
[***] Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed pursuant to Rule 24b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the omitted portions represented by [***] have been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
-2-
Broad user device support
Critical to the success of this solution will be support for a broad range of user devices and operating systems, including Windows and Linux.
Windows device support must include Windows 7, Windows Vista (for at-home workers), Windows XP, Windows Thin PC and the various Windows Embedded variants (WES 7, WES 2009, and Windows XPe).Windows 8 support will also be required following its availability.
Linux support must include x86 and ARM processors, and at least the following Linux variants:
• | Fedora (Red Hat) |
• | Ubuntu (incl. the netbook remix of Ubuntu) |
Support for Avistar on any particular platform/device is dependent on the availability of specific Citrix APIs on that platform/device. Avistar requires that it be able to use the [***] Virtual Channel API and the Window Tracking API on all PC platforms as a prerequisite to porting the Avistar software to those platforms. Mobile platforms (Android and iOS) do not require the Window Tracking API as the video shall be shown in full screen mode on those platforms.
Integration with Citrix Receiver
The client-side software must support connections both to XenApp and XenDesktop.
Citrix’s requirement is for the client-side software to be shippable with our standard Receivers.
For Windows devices, Avistar must provide a separate install as the initial solution, with the capability to bundle it into the Citrix Receiver for Windows installation in a subsequent release.
The software should be packaged as an optional add-on to Citrix Receiver, since it would be a significant download and won’t be needed by all customers.
Compatibility with Lync clients not hosted on XenApp or XenDesktop
Users of this solution, with their Lync client hosted on XenApp or XenDesktop, must be able to communicate via Lync with users whose Lync client is running locally (i.e. without the benefit of Citrix virtualization).
Behavior when moving across different user devices
Users of virtual desktops are able to access their virtual desktop from multiple devices, and a user may move to a device on which the Avistar client-side software has not been installed. In that case the software must revert to server-side media processing and media-over-ICA.
Leverage Lync infrastructure components
The solution must leverage the standard infrastructure components that are part of Microsoft Lync. The solution must not introduce any new servers to the existing Lync architecture, except as optional value-add offerings.
[***] Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed pursuant to Rule 24b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the omitted portions represented by [***] have been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Tracking/Activation
Although Citrix envisions bundling the Avistar-provided software with XenApp and XenDesktop rather than charging for it as an option with a separate SKU, it is important to have an auditable tracking method that avoids unnecessary payments to either Avistar’s codec suppliers or the MPEG Licensing Authority (MPLA) that manages H.264. Consequently, a mechanism must be devised to track the number of users who actually make use of the licensed codecs.
Our planned solution is that during the installation of the Citrix software, customers will be given the option to obtain a “key” to activate the enhanced Lync integration feature, and this will direct them to a Citrix web page where they will be requested to report the number of users (which must not exceed their XenApp/XenDesktop license entitlement). The administrator installing the Software will then be required to copy the key into the Program Files directory in order for the software to function. There will be no trial period.
Globalization/Localization
Any UI must be globalized and localized into the following languages: Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Russian.
Avistar must provide a facility whereby Citrix can localize the software into additional languages.
Branding
All Avistar branding must be replaced by Citrix branding with the exception that the Avistar brand must be displayed in at least one place in connection with the Avistar Product.
Use of Microsoft Codecs
The Microsoft RT Video and RT Audio codecs may be used only as integrated by Avistar into the Avistar C3 Media EngineTM, and in no event shall such codecs be unbundled, distributed separately or otherwise used or provided outside of the integrated product designed and provided by Avistar in accordance with the Agreement.

ATTACHMENT B.1 - SUPPORT COMMITMENTS
During the Term of this Agreement, Avistar agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to properly render the following support to Citrix for all Deliverables provided under this Agreement:
1. | Reasonable Telephone support hotline; Training |
| Avistar will provide direct support to personnel of Citrix in the form of phone and related (e-mail, etc.) support during Avistar’s regular business hours (i.e., Business Days, 9:00am to 7:00pm Central Time USA) and on a call-back basis, after hours, based on the severity of the problem being reported. |
| Upon Citrix’s request, Avistar will make training resources available, at a rate of $125.00 per hour for the actual run time of each such on-line training session, at mutually agreed upon times to provide on-line training to Citrix personnel regarding the use and support of the Deliverables and New Products. In addition, at least twice per year, Avistar will provide, at Citrix cost and expense and at the rate of $1000 per calendar day for each personnel, a training resource located on-site at a Citrix office which shall be designated by Citrix for up to five (5) man days of training and/or support (not including travel time). The request for such on-site training shall be made through a single point of contact at Citrix (to be identified by Citrix to Avistar), and shall be scheduled in advance by mutual agreement. |
2. | Notice of Updates |
| Avistar will inform Citrix in writing of all available Corrections and Upgrades, as soon as practical as they become available. Citrix may install any Correction or Upgrade or continue using a previous release of the Deliverables at Citrix’s option without affecting the availability of Support Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Avistar may decide to end support of a specific Deliverable, and will provide notification to Citrix at least eighteen (18) months in advance of such end of support. Avistar will ensure the migration path for all new Correction or Upgrades incorporates a process that will allow Citrix to regress from the new Correction or Upgrade if problems develop that Citrix perceives to be attributable to said new Correction or Upgrade. The process methodology shall be documented and tested by Avistar prior to the new Correction or Upgrade delivery. In all cases, changes will be reversible so they can be backed out if necessary. Avistar will make available to the Acosta release any generally applicable features incorporated in the future Avistar Media Engine releases no later than ninety (90) days after Avistar Media Engine general release. Likewise, Avistar will add any generally applicable features incorporated in the Acosta release back into the Avistar Media Engine releases no later than ninety (90) days after Avistar releases such features to Citrix. |
3. | Problem correction procedure |
3.1 | Avistar has a priority system which reports priorities from (P1) through (P4) where (P1) represents the highest priority, defined as follows: |
| (a) | A "P1" problem (Fatal problem) exists if as a result of operation of the Deliverable, a user’s system is: (i) inoperative; or (ii) experiencing severe recurring problems; or (iii) experiencing a unique problem which is the equivalent of the foregoing. |
| (b) | A "P2" problem (Severe Impact problem) exists if as a result of operation of the Deliverable, a user’s system is: (i) experiencing a critical degradation of performance or function; or (ii) experiencing significant intermittent problems; or (iii) experiencing a unique problem which is the equivalent of the foregoing. |
| (c) | A "P3" problem (Degraded Operations problem) exists if, as a result of operation of the Deliverable, a user's system is: (i) experiencing a non-critical degradation of performance or function; or (ii) experiencing minor intermittent problems. |
| (d) | A "P4" (Minimal Impact problem) problem exists if a user's system is operational and is experiencing a problem which has been bypassed and is under evaluation |
3.2. | Upon Avistar’s receipt of a Problem Report from Citrix, Avistar shall promptly take the corrective action so as to acknowledge receipt of Problem Report and remedy the reported problems within the following time schedule: |
