ARTICLE I
 
THE MERGER
 
SECTION 1.01   The Merger.  Upon the terms of this Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.02), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company.  As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).
 
SECTION 1.02   Effective Time; Closing.  As promptly as practicable following (and no later than 48 hours following) the satisfaction or, if permissible by the express terms of this Agreement, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (or such other date as may be agreed by each of the parties hereto), the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by (i) filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and (ii) making all other filings and recordings required under the DGCL.  The term “Effective Time” means the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger (or such later time as may be agreed by each of the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger).  Immediately prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger, a closing (the “Closing”) will be held at the offices of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP, at 12275 El Camino Real, Suite 200, San Diego, California 92130 (or such other place as the parties may agree).  The date on which the Closing shall occur is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”
 
SECTION 1.03   Effect of the Merger.  At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects as set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 1.04   Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
 
(a)           At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to read the same as the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that Section 1 of the amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, instead of reading the same as Section 1 of the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, shall read as follows:  “The name of this corporation is iLoop Mobile, Inc.”
 
(b)           At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Company as the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read the same as the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that all references to Merger Sub in the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to refer to iLoop Mobile, Inc.
 
SECTION 1.05   Directors and Officers
 
.  The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.
 
ARTICLE II
 
MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
 
SECTION 2.01   Merger Consideration.
 
(a)           At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:
 
(i)           each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iii) and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.06(a))) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Common Consideration in the form of Parent Shares;
 
(ii)           each share of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Preferred Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iii) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Preferred Consideration in the form of Parent Shares;
 
 
- 3 -

 
 
(iii)           each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of Company Stock owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto; and
 
(iv)           each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, 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 nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.  The stock certificate evidencing shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall then evidence ownership of all the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
 
(b)           As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:
 
(i)           “Aggregate Merger Consideration” means the Common for Common Shares, the Common for Preferred Shares and the Preferred for Preferred Shares.
 
(ii)           “Fully Diluted Common Shares Amount” means a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
 
(iii)           “Holdback Shares” means the number of Parent Shares (rounded up to the next whole number) equal to the product of (A) 0.10 and (B) the Aggregate Merger Consideration. The Holdback Shares shall be a combination of Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock, in the same proportion as the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(iv)           “Per Share Common Consideration” means, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock, one share of Parent Common Stock (the “Common For Common Shares”).  For the avoidance of doubt, any shares issued upon the exercise of Company Options after the execution of this Agreement but before the Effective Time will be counted as outstanding shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time for purposes of determining the number of Common for Common Shares.
 
(v)           “Per Share Preferred Consideration” means, with respect to each share of Company Preferred Stock, (A) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Common For Preferred Shares”) equal to (1) 36,000,000 less (v) the Option Shares, (w) the Common For Common Shares, (x) the Common For Warrant Shares, (y) one-half of the Bonus Warrant Shares and (z) the Fee Warrant Shares, divided by (2) 16,659,605 and (B) a number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock (the “Preferred For Preferred Shares”) equal to (1) 119,000 less the Preferred For Note Shares, divided by (2) 16,659,605.
 
(c)           If, during the period between the date hereof and the Effective Time, any change in the capital stock of Parent or Company shall occur by reason of reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period or any similar event, the definitions in Section 2.01(b) shall be correspondingly adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares.

SECTION 2.02   Exchange of Certificates.
 
(a)           Exchange Procedures.  From and after the Effective Time, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Inc. shall act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in effecting the exchange of the applicable consideration as described in Section 2.01 for certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock (“Company Share Certificates”) and which were converted into the right to receive the Parent Shares pursuant to Section 2.01.  As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each record holder of Company Share Certificates a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in a form approved by Parent and the Company and instructions for use in surrendering such Company Share Certificates and receiving the applicable Parent Shares pursuant to Section 2.01.
 
Upon the surrender of each Company Share Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent:
 
(i)           Parent shall cause to be issued to the holder of such Company Share Certificate in exchange therefor a separate stock certificate representing the Parent Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01 (less the Holdback Shares attributable to the pro rata interest of such holder in the Holdback Shares pursuant to Section 2.02(b)); and
 
(ii)           the Company Share Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
 
Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article II, each Company Share Certificate shall, subject to appraisal rights under the DGCL and Section 2.06, be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the applicable consideration with respect to the shares of Company Stock formerly represented thereby to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01.
 
(b)           Holdback Fund.  Parent shall issue the Holdback Shares, as the same may be reduced to offset indemnity claims pursuant to Section 9.02, on the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date.  In connection with such withholding of the Holdback Shares and as of the Effective Time, each Company Stockholder eligible to receive Parent Shares at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed to have received and deposited with Parent each such holder’s pro rata interest in the Holdback Shares as determined as of the Closing by reference to the number of shares of Company Stock held by such holder immediately prior to Closing (on an as-converted to Company Common Stock basis), relative to the number of shares of Company Stock held by all Company Stockholders eligible to receive Parent Shares at the Closing, without any act of the Company Stockholders.  The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company Stockholders shall constitute approval of the withholding of the Holdback Shares by Parent, the right of Parent to offset indemnity claims against the Holdback Shares, and of all the arrangements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative.
 
 
- 5 -

 
 
(c)           Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Parent Shares.  No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Shares comprising part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration and with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Share Certificate with respect to the Parent Shares represented thereby until the holder of such Company Share Certificate shall surrender such Company Share Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.02.
 
(d)           No Further Rights in Company Stock.  The shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock issued upon the conversion of shares of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock.
 
(e)           No Fractional Shares.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional Parent Shares shall be issued upon the conversion and exchange of Company Share Certificates, and no holder of Company Share Certificates shall be entitled to receive a fractional Parent Share.  In the event that any holder of Company Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Parent Share (after aggregating all Parent Shares and fractional Parent Shares issuable to such holder), then such holder will receive an aggregate number of Parent Shares rounded up or down to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 being rounded up).
 
(f)           No Liability.  Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any such shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash properly and legally delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law (as defined in Section 3.06(a)).
 
(g)           Withholding Rights.  Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of federal, state, provincial, local or foreign Tax (as defined in Section 3.15(l)) Law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.
 
(h)           Lost Certificates.  If any Company Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Share Certificate, Parent shall, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Share Certificate, issue the applicable Parent Shares (and dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(d)) and pay the applicable cash amount to which such person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.
 
 
- 6 -

 
 
(i)           Return of Parent Shares.  Promptly following the end of the fifth full calendar month after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall return to Parent all of the remaining Parent Shares and cash in the Exchange Agent’s possession and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate.  Thereafter, upon the surrender of a Company Share Certificate to Parent, together with a properly executed Letter of Transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and forms of stock power and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent, and subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws, the holder of such Company Share Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Parent Shares (and dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(d)) and applicable cash amount, in each case without any interest thereon.
 
SECTION 2.03   Stock Transfer Books.  Commencing on the date hereof, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock thereafter on the records of the Company other than as required to comply with the terms of this Agreement.  From and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Company Share Certificate shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.
 
SECTION 2.04   Company Stock Options; Company Warrants.
 
(a)           At the Effective Time, all options to purchase Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to the Stock Plan (as defined in Section 3.04(b)) whether vested or unvested and whether exercisable or unexercisable (each a “Company Option”) shall by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Company or the holder thereof be cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect following the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of the Stock Plan.
 
(b)           Prior to the Effective Time, the holder of each warrant to acquire shares of Company Common Stock granted and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not contingent or earned and whether exercisable or unexercisable (each a “Company Warrant”), shall have agreed in writing to forfeit such Company Warrant as of the Effective Time in exchange for a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to one-half (1/2) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant, assuming the satisfaction of all conditions of exercise (collectively, the “Common For Warrant Shares”).  At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Common For Warrant Shares exchangeable therefor.
 
SECTION 2.05   Securities Laws Issues.  Parent intends to issue the Parent Shares as provided in this Agreement pursuant to (a) a “private placement” exemption or exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and (b) an exemption from qualification under the laws of the State of California and other applicable state securities laws.  Parent and the Company shall comply with all applicable provisions of and rules under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws in connection with the offering and issuance of the Parent Shares pursuant to this Agreement.  Such Parent Shares will be “restricted securities” under the Federal and state securities laws and cannot be offered or resold except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from registration.

SECTION 2.06   Dissenting Shares.

If the Merger is consummated, all covenants of the parties (including the covenants set forth in Article V and Article VI) shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing, except to the extent such covenants are to be performed after the Closing; provided, however, that no right to indemnification pursuant to Article IX in respect of any claim based upon any breach of a covenant shall be affected by the expiration of such covenant.  It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 9.01 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby.  The parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Article IX for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’ length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

(a)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Parent Indemnified Person may make a claim for any Holdback Shares in respect of any claim for indemnification that is made pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of Section 9.02 (and that does not involve any breach or inaccuracy of the Company Core Representations and Warranties or fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by the Company), unless and until an Officer’s Certificate (defined below) describing Parent Indemnifiable Damages in an aggregate amount greater than $250,000 (the “Threshold”) has been delivered, in which case the Parent Indemnified Person may make claims for indemnification and may receive assets from the Holdback Shares for all Parent Indemnifiable Damages, including the amount of the Threshold.

(c)           Parent Indemnifiable Damages shall be calculated net of actual recoveries under existing insurance policies (net of any actual collection costs and reserves, deductibles, premium adjustments and retrospectively rated premiums as determined in good faith by an Parent Indemnified Person); provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 9.04(c) shall be deemed to require or obligate any Parent Indemnified Person to seek or continue to pursue recovery under any insurance policy with respect to any amount of Parent Indemnifiable Damages.

(a)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Company Stockholder may make a claim for Company Stockholder Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of Section 9.03 that does not involve any breach or inaccuracy of the Parent Core Representations and Warranties or fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by Parent, unless and until a written notice describing Company Stockholder Indemnifiable Damages in an aggregate amount greater than $250,000 (the “Threshold”) has been delivered, in which case the Company Stockholder may make claims for indemnification for all Company Stockholder Indemnifiable Damages.  Such written notice of a claim hereunder shall state (i) the amount of Company Stockholder Indemnifiable Damages and (ii) specify in reasonable detail the individual items of such Company Stockholder Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Company Stockholder Indemnifiable Damages are related.
 
(b)           The indemnification obligations set forth in Section 9.03 shall be the Company Stockholders sole and exclusive remedy against Parent (including its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents) of for all claims with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and except with respect to (i) fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by Parent or (ii) breaches of the Parent Core Representations and Warranties, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification liability arising under this Agreement that may be recovered from Parent shall be limited to the value of the Holdback Shares as of the Closing Date.
 
(c)           Company Stockholder Indemnifiable Damages shall be calculated net of actual recoveries under existing insurance policies (net of any actual collection costs and reserves, deductibles, premium adjustments and retrospectively rated premiums as determined in good faith by a Company Stockholder); provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 9.05(c) shall be deemed to require or obligate any Company Stockholder to seek or continue to pursue recovery under any insurance policy with respect to any amount of Company Stockholder Indemnifiable Damages.

(ii)          stating the amount of such Parent Indemnifiable Damages; and
 
(iii)         specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Parent) the individual items of such Parent Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Parent Indemnifiable Damages are related.

No delay in providing such Officer’s Certificate within the Claims Period shall affect a Parent Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Stockholders’ Representative or the Company Stockholders are materially prejudiced thereby.
 
(b)           At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Stockholders’ Representative by or on behalf of Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) and for a period of 30 days after such delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, Parent shall make no payment pursuant to this Section 9.07 unless it shall have received written authorization from the Stockholders’ Representative to make such delivery or it is required by applicable Law to make such payment.  After the expiration of such 30-day period, Parent shall make delivery of Holdback Shares to Parent in accordance with this Section 9.07; provided, however, that no such delivery may be made if and to the extent the Stockholders’ Representative has objected in a written statement to any claim or claims made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such written statement shall have been delivered to Parent prior to the expiration of such 30-day period.
 
(c)           Subject to the provisions of Section 9.04, if, upon the resolution of any claim for Parent Indemnifiable Damages as provided herein, Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Parent Indemnified Person) shall be entitled to receive any Holdback Shares, in the amount of such Parent Indemnifiable Damages, based on the value of Parent Shares determined as set forth in Section 9.11.
 
SECTION 9.08   Resolution of Objection to Claims.

(b)           If no such agreement can be reached during the 45-day period for good faith negotiation, but in any event upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative may bring suit in accordance with Section 10.07 hereof to determine whether the Parent Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX with respect to the matters described in the Officer’s Certificate and the amount which constitutes Parent Indemnifiable Damages under this Article IX for which recovery may be made.
 
(c)           The parties shall request the court to determine a prevailing party in the dispute.  The non-prevailing party to a suit shall pay its own expenses and the expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with such suit (provided, that if the non-prevailing party is the Stockholders’ Representative, such expenses, fees and costs shall be borne by the Company Stockholders).

SECTION 9.09   Stockholders’ Representative.
 
(a)           At the Closing, Shareholder Representative Services LLC shall be constituted and appointed as the Stockholders’ Representative.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Stockholders’ Representative” shall mean the agent for and on behalf of the Company Stockholders to perform all actions required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation to:  (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from Parent (on behalf of itself of any other Parent Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by such stockholders individually); (ii) authorize deliveries to Parent of assets from the Holdback Shares in satisfaction of claims asserted by Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Parent Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims); (iii) object to such claims pursuant to Section 9.08; (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, such claims; (v) provide any consents hereunder, including with respect to any proposed settlement of any claims or agree to any amendment to this Agreement, and (vi) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any person under any circumstance.  The person serving as the Stockholders’ Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the assets then on deposit in the Holdback Shares upon not less than ten days’ prior written notice to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative.  No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Representative, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall receive no compensation for his services other than pursuant to the terms of that certain Stockholder Representative Agreement, dated on or about the date hereof, by and among Shareholder Representative Services LLC, the Company and certain of the Company Stockholders. The Stockholders’ Representative shall be permitted to communicate with the Company Stockholders, including in electronic form.
 
(b)           The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any former Company Stockholder or any other person for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Stockholders’ 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) and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Company Stockholders shall severally indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative and hold him harmless against any loss, liability or expense (“Representative Loss”) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative, in each case as such Representative Loss is incurred or suffered; provided that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative will reimburse the Company Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.  If not paid by the Company Stockholders, such losses, liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Representative from the Holdback Shares otherwise distributable to the Company Stockholders (and not distributed or distributable to any  Parent Indemnified Person or subject to a pending indemnification claim of any Parent Indemnified Person) following the expiration of the Holdback Period pursuant to the terms hereof, at the time of distribution, and such recovery will be made from the Company Stockholders according to their respective pro rata interests in the Holdback Shares; provided that while this section allows the Stockholders’ Representative to be paid from the Holdback Shares, this does not relieve the Company Stockholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as such Representative Losses are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise.
 
 
- 65 -

 
 
(c)           Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Stockholders’ Representative that is within the scope of the Stockholders’ Representative’s authority under Section 9.09(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Company Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Company Stockholder; and each Parent Indemnified Person shall be entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Company Stockholder.
 
(d)           Following the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate or Notice of Claim, the Stockholders’ Representative and its representatives and agents shall be given all such access (including electronic access, to the extent available) as they may reasonably require to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation and access to such personnel or representatives of the Surviving Corporation and Parent, including but not limited to the individuals responsible for the matters that are subject of the Officer’s Certificate or Notice of Claim, as they may reasonably require for the purposes of investigating or resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the Officer’s Certificate or Notice of Claim.
 
SECTION 9.10   Third-Party Claims.

- 66 -

 
 
(b)           In the event the Stockholders’ Representative elects not to conduct or does not have a right to conduct the defense of and settlement or resolution any such claim, then Parent shall have the right to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve any such claim (and the costs and expenses incurred by Parent in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys’ fees (other than those of in-house legal counsel), other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Parent Indemnifiable Damages for which Parent may seek indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder); provided, however, that (i) the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to retain separate co-counsel, at the expense of the Company Stockholders; (ii) the Parent will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iii) the Parent shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently and provide copies of all correspondence and related documentation in connection with the Third Party Defense to the Stockholders’ Representative; and (iv) the Stockholders’ Representative will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense.  In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative has consented to any such settlement or resolution, neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor any Company Stockholder shall have any power or authority to object under Section 9.08 or any other provision of this Article IX to recovery by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person against the Holdback Shares or otherwise for the Parent Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such settlement or resolution.
