Section 2.07 Board of Directors and Management of Parent.
(a) The Parent Board shall take all such action as may be necessary to cause the number of directors comprising the Parent Board as of immediately following the Effective Time to consist of nine (9) directors, including (i) four (4) individuals designated by Citrix and satisfactory to Parent (the Citrix Board Designees) and (ii) five (5) of the current members of the Parent Board designated by Parent. Each of the Citrix Board Designees shall qualify as an independent director, as such term is defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) and at least one (1) of the Citrix Designees shall meet the minimum requirements to serve on the Audit Committee of the Parent Board under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Parent acknowledges and agrees that (A) the individuals set forth on Schedule 2.07(a) of the Citrix Disclosure Letter are satisfactory to Parent as Citrix Board Designees and (B) after consideration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the other information regarding such individuals provided to Parent by Citrix prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date hereof such individuals
19
meet the qualifications set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the appointment of Jesse A. Cohn or any other director, officer, employee or other Affiliate of Elliott Associates, L.P., Elliott International, L.P. or Elliott International Capital Advisors Inc. (collectively, Elliott) to the Parent Board as a Citrix Board Designee shall be conditioned upon the prior execution and delivery to Parent by Elliott of the Cooperation Agreement, in substantially the form set forth as Annex D or as otherwise may be mutually agreed between Parent and Elliott. The Citrix Board Designees shall be assigned to Class I, Class II and Class III of the Parent Board, under the Parent Charter and applicable Law, as specified on Schedule 2.07(a) of the Citrix Disclosure Letter. For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, or, in the case of the Citrix Board Designee whose term of office expires at the second annual meeting of stockholders of Parent occurring after the Effective Time, the period ending on such second annual meeting of stockholders of Parent, if any of the Citrix Board Designees is unable or unwilling to serve or is otherwise no longer serving as a member of the Parent Board, then Citrix may designate a replacement individual satisfactory to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board (a Replacement Citrix Board Designee) and the Parent Board shall promptly appoint such Replacement Citrix Board Designee to fill the vacancy created thereby. In connection with the first annual meeting of stockholders of Parent occurring after the Effective Time, the Parent Board shall, subject to the reasonable exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, take all such action as may be necessary to include the Citrix Board Designees and/or Replacement Citrix Board Designees in such class up for re-election as a nominee recommended by the Parent Board for election by Parents stockholders and shall use no less rigorous efforts to support the election of each such Citrix Board Designee or Replacement Citrix Board Designee at such annual meeting than the manner in which Parent supports all other nominees of the Parent Board.
(b) The Parent Board shall take all such action as may be necessary to cause each of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee and any other standing committees of the Parent Board to include at least one (1) Citrix Board Designee as of immediately following the Effective Time (subject, to the extent required by the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, to qualification of such Citrix Designees to serve on such Committees).
(c) The Parent Board shall take all such action as may be necessary to cause the Parent Board to establish an Operating Committee of the Parent Board (the Operating Committee) as of immediately following the Effective Time. The Operating Committee shall have a mandate to design and oversee a plan to achieve the synergies expected to result from the Merger and undertake such other activities related thereto as may be delegated in accordance with applicable Law by the Parent Board, and shall be empowered to hire, compensate and direct the work of third-party advisors to assist therewith, with funding for such third-party advisors to be provided by Parent. The Operating Committee shall be composed of four (4) members reasonably agreed upon by Parent and Citrix, consisting of two (2) Citrix Board Designees and two (2) current members of the Parent Board. If any of the Citrix Board Designees is unable or unwilling to serve or is otherwise no longer serving as a member of the Operating Committee, then the Parent Board shall promptly appoint another Citrix Board Designee (or Replacement Citrix Board Designee) to fill the vacancy created thereby. For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, (x) the size of the Operating Committee shall not be increased by the Parent Board and (y) the Operating Committee shall not be disbanded by the Parent Board, in each case without the consent of the Citrix Board Designees and/or Replacement Citrix Board Designees then serving on the Operating Committee. At the second anniversary of the Closing Date, unless the Parent Board acts to extend the existence of the Operating Committee, the Operating Committee shall automatically be disbanded and shall cease to exist as a committee of the Parent Board.
(d) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Parent shall consult with, and consider the views of, Citrix regarding the roles and responsibilities of members of management of the SpinCo Business in the management of Parent and the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.

(b) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Citrix shall designate a nationally-recognized commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Parent to act as agent (the Exchange
20
Agent) for the benefit of the holders of Shares who exchange their Shares in accordance with this Article III. Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article III promptly after the Effective Time, book-entry shares representing the Merger Consideration issuable to holders of Shares as of the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.04(a) (such book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.01(c) and other amounts payable in accordance with Section 3.01(e), the Exchange Fund). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions from Parent, deliver the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided that (i) no such investment of or losses thereon shall relieve Parent from making the payments required by this Article III or elsewhere in this Agreement, or affect the amount payable in respect of the Shares, and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent in the amount of any such losses, and (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest or other income from such investments shall be paid to and become income of Parent. Except as contemplated by Section 3.01(g), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as specified in this Section 3.01(a).
(c) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to distribute the shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of SpinCo Common Stock that were distributed in the Distribution have been converted pursuant to the Merger, which shares shall be distributed on the same basis as the shares of SpinCo Common Stock were distributed in the Distribution and to the Persons who received SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution. Each Person entitled to receive SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution shall be entitled to receive in respect of the shares of SpinCo Common Stock distributed to such Person a book-entry authorization representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Section 3.01(b) (and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, as contemplated by Section 3.01(e)) (and any dividends or distributions and other amounts pursuant to Section 3.01(c)). The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to Parent Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except as contemplated by Section 3.01(c).
(d) Distributions with Respect to Undistributed Shares of Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock that are not able to be distributed by the Exchange Agent promptly after the Effective Time, whether due to a legal impediment to such distribution or otherwise. Subject to the effect of abandoned property, escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following the distribution of any such previously undistributed shares of Parent Common Stock, there shall be paid to the record holder of such shares of Parent Common Stock, without interest, (i) at the time of the distribution, the amount of cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock; and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the distribution of such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and a payment date subsequent to the distribution of such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.
(e) No Further Rights in SpinCo Common Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the exchange of SpinCo Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article III (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued or paid, as the case may be, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of SpinCo Common Stock.
(f) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or book-entry credit of the same shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of SpinCo Common Stock, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote, or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. All fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that a holder of shares of SpinCo Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated by the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall cause the whole shares obtained thereby to be sold on behalf of such holders of shares of SpinCo Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, in the open market or otherwise, in each case at then-prevailing market
21
prices, and in no case later than five (5) Business Days after the time of the Distribution. The Exchange Agent shall make available the net proceeds thereof, subject to the deduction of the amount of any withholding Taxes as contemplated in Section 3.01(i) and brokerage charges, commissions and conveyance and similar Taxes, on a pro rata basis, without interest, as soon as practicable to the holders of SpinCo Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger.
(g) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or SpinCo Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or SpinCo Common Stock (other than, in the case of SpinCo Common Stock, to the extent contemplated in the Separation Agreement) with a record date occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, other than the issuance of stock by SpinCo in the Separation, the Special Dividend, or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Separation Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 3.01(f) shall be construed to permit SpinCo, Parent or Merger Sub to take any action with respect to its securities that otherwise is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
(h) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including proceeds of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Shares on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any former holders of Shares who have not theretofore received shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(a), any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(e) and any dividends or other distributions with respect to the Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(c) (subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law).
(i) No Liability. None of Parent, Citrix, SpinCo, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund (or dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock) or other cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(j) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law or any other Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons otherwise entitled thereto in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Section 3.02 Stock Transfer Books. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of SpinCo shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of SpinCo.
Section 3.03 No Appraisal Rights. In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to holders of Shares in connection with the Merger.
Section 3.04 Citrix Equity Awards.
(a) Each Citrix Stock Option held by a SpinCo Employee that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, remain outstanding as an option to acquire shares of Citrix Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable award.
22
(b) Each Citrix RSU held by a SpinCo Employee that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and is subject to time-based vesting shall, after taking into account any accelerated vesting in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the applicable award, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease as of the Effective Time to represent the right with respect to Citrix Common Stock and shall be cancelled and a substitute Parent RSU with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock shall be granted on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Citrix RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting and forfeiture provisions), with the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Parent RSU equal to the number of shares of Citrix Common Stock subject to each Citrix RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Adjustment Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(c) Each Citrix RSU held by a SpinCo Employee that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and is subject to performance-based vesting shall be adjusted based on an interim performance assessment as if the applicable performance period ended as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and pro-rated based on the portion of the 36-month performance period which has elapsed as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share (each an Adjusted Citrix RSU). Each Adjusted Citrix RSU then shall, after taking into account any accelerated vesting in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the applicable award, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease as of the Effective Time to represent the right with respect to Citrix Common Stock and shall be cancelled and a substitute Parent RSU with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock shall be granted on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Adjusted Citrix RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that such awards shall thereafter be subject to cliff vesting as of the end of the applicable performance period and no longer subject to any performance-vesting criteria), with the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Parent RSU equal to the number of shares of Citrix Common Stock subject to each Adjusted Citrix RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Adjustment Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Citrix RSU held by a SpinCo Employee with respect to the 2014-2016 performance period that remains outstanding as of the Effective Time shall not be adjusted, prorated or cancelled and no Parent RSU shall be granted in substitution for such Citrix RSU as provided in this Section 3.04(c). Each Citrix RSU described in the immediately preceding sentence shall continue to constitute the right to earn shares of Citrix Common Stock based on the actual performance of Citrix during such performance period in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements (except that the Effective Time shall not constitute a termination of employment of any SpinCo Employee for purposes of such Citrix RSU).
(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Citrix Board and/or the Compensation Committee of the Citrix Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and Citrix shall take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.04.
Section 3.05 Determination of Net Adjustment.
(a) Within two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Citrix shall prepare and deliver to Parent a report setting forth an estimate, prepared in good faith based on SpinCos and Citrixs books and records and other information available at the time, of (i) the SpinCo Cash Amount (the Estimated Cash Amount), (ii) the total amount of SpinCo Indebtedness as of the Closing (the Estimated SpinCo Indebtedness), (iii) the SpinCo Working Capital (the Estimated Working Capital) and the calculation by Citrix of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment (if any), (iv) the SpinCo Deferred Revenue (the Estimated SpinCo Deferred Revenue) and the calculation by Citrix of the Estimated SpinCo Deferred Revenue Surplus (if any), and (v) the calculation by Citrix of the Initial Net Adjustment Amount (if any), which, in the case of Estimated Working Capital and Estimated SpinCo Deferred Revenue, shall be prepared in a manner consistent in all respects with the Sample Working Capital Statement, including the line items set forth therein in accordance with GAAP (the report referred to in this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the Closing Statement) together with any documentary materials used in the calculations thereof. If based on the Closing Statement, the Initial Net Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then immediately prior to the Closing, SpinCo shall distribute to Citrix an amount in cash equal to such Initial Net Adjustment Amount, and if based on the Closing Statement, the Initial Net Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then immediately prior to the Closing, Citrix shall contribute to SpinCo an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of such Initial Net Adjustment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Initial Net Adjustment Amount is zero (0), then no payments shall be made in connection therewith.
23
(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to Citrix a report that sets forth Parents good faith calculation of (A) the SpinCo Cash Amount, (B) the total SpinCo Indebtedness as of the Closing, (C) the SpinCo Working Capital, (D) the Final Working Capital Adjustment (if any), (E) the SpinCo Deferred Revenue, (F) the Final SpinCo Deferred Revenue Surplus (if any), and (G) the Final Net Adjustment Amount (if any) which, in the case of SpinCo Working Capital and SpinCo Deferred Revenue, shall be prepared in a manner consistent in all respects with the Sample Working Capital Statement, including the line items set forth therein in accordance with GAAP (the report referred to in this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the SpinCo Closing Report). Citrix shall provide reasonable assistance, including reasonably requested documentation, to Parent in the preparation of the SpinCo Closing Report. Parent shall also deliver to Citrix documentary materials and analyses used in preparation of the SpinCo Closing Report reasonably requested by Citrix. The amounts set forth in the SpinCo Closing Report shall be determined in accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement.
(c) In the event that Citrix believes that (i) the SpinCo Closing Report prepared by Parent does not accurately reflect all or any portion of the SpinCo Cash Amount, SpinCo Working Capital, SpinCo Deferred Revenue or SpinCo Indebtedness at Closing, (ii) the Final Working Capital Adjustment, the SpinCo Deferred Revenue Surplus and/or the Final Net Adjustment Amount were incorrectly calculated by Parent, and/or (iii) the SpinCo Closing Report was not prepared in the manner required by this Agreement, Citrix shall, within thirty (30) days of the date on which Parent delivers the SpinCo Closing Report to Citrix, prepare and deliver to Parent a written notice of dispute (the Dispute Notice), which Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the dispute. In the event that Citrix does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Parent within the time period required by the immediately preceding sentence, then the SpinCo Closing Report prepared by Parent, including the SpinCo Cash Amount, SpinCo Working Capital, SpinCo Deferred Revenue, SpinCo Indebtedness, Final Working Capital Adjustment, Final SpinCo Deferred Revenue Surplus and Final Net Adjustment Amount set forth therein, shall be deemed to be and shall become final, binding and conclusive on all of the parties hereto.
(d) In the event that Citrix timely delivers a Dispute Notice to Parent in accordance with the terms hereof, Parent and Citrix shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any such disputes shall be final, binding and conclusive on all of the parties hereto. If Citrix and Parent are unable to resolve any such dispute within ten (10) Business Days of Parents receipt of the Dispute Notice from Citrix, Parent and Citrix shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to KPMG LLP (the Independent Accounting Firm). Promptly following the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following such engagement, Parent and Citrix shall submit to such Independent Accounting Firm (and the other party) all documentary materials and analyses that Parent or Citrix, as the case may be, believes to be relevant to a resolution of the dispute set forth in the Dispute Notice.

The Proxy Statement shall further state that approval of the Parent Charter Amendment and the New Parent Stock Plan are not conditions to the closing of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including the Parent Share Issuance.
(c) Parent and Citrix, as applicable, shall advise the other promptly after receiving oral or written notice of (i) the time when a Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement or a Registration Statement has been filed; (ii) the issuance of any stop order; (iii) the suspension of the qualification for offering or sale in any jurisdiction of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger or the SpinCo Common Stock issuable in connection with the Distribution; or (iv) any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement, a Registration Statement or the Schedule TO or SEC comments thereon or requests by the SEC for additional information. Parent and Citrix shall promptly provide each other with copies of any written communication from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement, the
56
Registration Statements or the Schedule TO and shall cooperate to prepare appropriate responses thereto (and will provide each other with copies of any such responses given to the SEC) and make such modifications to the Proxy Statement, the Registration Statements and the Schedule TO as shall be reasonably appropriate.
(d) If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance shall be discovered by a party hereto that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to a Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement or the Schedule TO so that any such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or fail to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, such party shall promptly inform the other parties hereto and the parties hereto shall cause an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information to be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to stockholders.
(e) In connection with the filing of the Registration Statements and other SEC filings contemplated hereby, each of Citrix and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate with the other party to prepare pro forma financial statements that comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC to the extent required for such SEC filings, including the requirements of Regulation S-X; and (ii) provide and make reasonably available upon reasonable notice the senior management employees of the other party to discuss the materials prepared and delivered pursuant to this Section 7.01(e).
(f) To the extent required to be included in the Parent Registration Statement, Citrix shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable after the end of any fiscal quarter, prepare and furnish to Parent copies of combined financial statements of the SpinCo Business as of and for the periods ending on any fiscal quarterly and annual periods ending after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (including the combined financial statements for the corresponding period in the preceding year), in each case together with the notes thereto, and prepared from the books and records of Citrix and its Subsidiaries and in accordance with GAAP, with no exception or qualification thereto, applied on a consistent basis through the periods involved (except as may otherwise be required under GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the requirements of Regulation S-X. In the case of any such combined financial statements of the SpinCo Business for any fiscal year, Citrix shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such financial statements shall be audited and accompanied by a report of the independent auditors for the SpinCo Business. In the case of any such combined financial statements of the SpinCo Business for any quarterly period, Citrix shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such financial statements shall be reviewed by the independent auditors for the SpinCo Business. Citrix will use reasonable best efforts to procure, at its expense, the delivery of the consents of its independent auditors required to be filed with the Registration Statements.
Section 7.02 Parent Stockholders Meeting. Parent shall take all lawful action to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the Parent Stockholders Meeting) as promptly as practicable following the date on which the SEC clears (whether orally or in writing) the Proxy Statement and, if required by the SEC as a condition to the mailing of the Proxy Statement, the Parent Registration Statement is declared effective, for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval (and no other matters, except for a proposal to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional proxies to obtain the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, if necessary, and any other proposal required by applicable Law, shall be considered or voted upon at the Parent Stockholders Meeting without Citrixs prior written consent). Parent agrees that the obligation of Parent to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Parent Stockholders Meeting shall not be limited or otherwise affected by (a) the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to Parent or its stockholders of any Competing Parent Transaction; or (b) any Change in the Parent Recommendation. Subject to Section 7.03(d), Parent shall solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the Parent Stockholder Approval and shall take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the Parent Stockholder Approval. Parent agrees that it shall not, prior to the termination of this Agreement, submit to a vote of the stockholders of Parent any Competing Parent Transaction or Competing Parent Transaction Agreement (in either case, whether or not a Superior Proposal) prior to the vote of Parents stockholders to obtain the Parent Stockholder Approval.
Section 7.03 No Solicitation of Transactions.
(a) Parent agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall cause each of its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of
57
furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to Parents stockholders), with respect to any Competing Parent Transaction; (ii) enter into, maintain, continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a proposal or offer with respect to a Competing Parent Transaction; (iii) agree to, approve, endorse, recommend or consummate any Competing Parent Transaction; (iv) enter into any Competing Parent Transaction Agreement; (v) take any action to approve a third party becoming an interested stockholder, or to approve any transaction, for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL; or (vi) resolve, propose or agree, or authorize any Representative, to do any of the foregoing. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the doing of any of the foregoing by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach by Parent of this Section 7.03(a). Parent shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Citrix and its Affiliates) conducted prior to the execution of this Agreement by Parent or any of its Representatives with respect to any Competing Parent Transaction. Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives to, release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or one of its Affiliates is a party in connection with a Competing Parent Transaction; provided that Parent shall be permitted to grant a waiver of any standstill agreement, in response to a bona fide unsolicited request for such waiver from the counterparty thereto, to permit a confidential proposal for a Competing Parent Transaction to be made to the Parent Board if the Parent Board determines, in its good faith judgment (after consulting with outside legal counsel), that the failure to take such action would be a breach of the Parent Boards fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Parent shall promptly request each Person (other than Citrix and its Affiliates) that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with Parent in connection with such Persons consideration of a Competing Parent Transaction (whether by merger, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), to return (or if permitted by the applicable confidentiality agreement, destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement.
(b) Parent shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after Parent attains knowledge thereof) notify Citrix, orally and in writing, after the receipt by Parent or any of its Representatives of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) with respect to a Competing Parent Transaction, including any request for discussions or negotiations and any request for information relating to Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection therewith or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect thereto. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry, offer or request and a description of such proposal, inquiry, offer or request, including the material terms and conditions (if any) of such proposed Competing Parent Transaction, and Parent shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt by Parent) provide to Citrix copies of any written materials received by Parent in connection with any of the foregoing. Parent agrees that it shall keep Citrix reasonably informed of the status and material details of (including discussions with respect to or amendments or proposed amendments to) (i) any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request; and (ii) any information requested of or provided by Parent pursuant to Section 7.03(c). Parent shall provide Citrix with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of any meeting of the Parent Board at which the Parent Board is reasonably expected to consider any proposal, inquiry, offer or request with respect thereto (or any lesser advance notice otherwise provided to members of the Parent Board in respect of such meeting). Parent agrees that it shall substantially simultaneously provide or make available to Citrix any nonpublic information concerning Parent that may be made available pursuant to Section 7.03(c) to any other Person in response to any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) unless such information has previously been provided or made available by Parent to Citrix.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.03, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, Parent may furnish information to, and enter into discussions and negotiations with, a Person who has made an unsolicited written, bona fide proposal or offer with respect to a Competing Parent Transaction that did not arise or result from a breach of this Section 7.03 if, prior to furnishing such information and entering into such discussions, the Parent Board has (i) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel) that such proposal or offer constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal; and, after consulting with outside legal counsel, that the failure to furnish such information to, or enter into such discussions with, the Person who made such proposal or offer would be a breach of the Parent Boards fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (ii) provided written notice to Citrix of its intent to furnish information or enter into discussions with such Person prior to taking the first of any such action with respect to any given Person; and (iii) obtained from such Person an
58
Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision granting such Person exclusive rights to negotiate with Parent or having the effect of prohibiting Parent from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement) and, immediately upon its execution, delivered to Citrix a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.
(d) Except as set forth in this Section 7.03(d), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify, modify, amend or fail to make, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify, modify or amend the Parent Recommendation; (ii) make any public statement inconsistent with the Parent Recommendation; or (iii) approve or adopt, or recommend the approval or adoption of, or publicly propose to approve or adopt, any Competing Parent Transaction (any of the actions described in (i), (ii) or (iii), a Change in the Parent Recommendation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, in response to the receipt of an offer or proposal with respect to a Competing Parent Transaction that did not arise or result from a breach of this Section 7.03 or in response to an Intervening Event, the Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consulting with outside legal counsel), that the failure by the Parent Board to make a Change in the Parent Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and with respect to an offer or proposal, after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that such offer or proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Parent Board may, with respect to such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, make a Change in the Parent Recommendation; provided, however, that the Parent Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Change in the Parent Recommendation pursuant to this Section 7.03(d) unless:
(i) Parent has provided written notice to Citrix advising Citrix that the Parent Board has received a Superior Proposal or that an Intervening Event has occurred promptly after the Parent Board determines to make a Change in the Parent Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, stating that the Parent Board intends to make a Change in the Parent Recommendation and describing the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal or the material facts and circumstances of such Intervening Event; and
(ii) Citrix does not, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice required by Section 7.03(d)(i) (the Notice Period), make a written offer or proposal to revise the terms of this Agreement (any such offer, a Revised Transaction Proposal) in a manner that the Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, to be at least as favorable to Parents stockholders as such Superior Proposal or, in the case of an Intervening Event, after consulting with outside legal counsel, permits the Board (consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law) to not make a Change in the Parent Board Recommendation; provided, however, that, during the Notice Period, Parent shall negotiate in good faith with Citrix (to the extent Citrix desires to negotiate) regarding any Revised Transaction Proposal; and provided, further, that any amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal or any material change to the facts and circumstances of the Intervening Event during the Notice Period shall require a new written notice from Parent describing such amendment or material change and an additional three (3) Business Day Notice Period that satisfies this Section 7.03(d)(ii), including with respect to Parents obligations to negotiate in good faith with Citrix.
(e) Any disclosure that the Parent Board may be required to make under applicable Law (including to the extent the Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law) with respect to the receipt of a proposal or offer with respect to a Competing Parent Transaction or under Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act will not constitute a violation of this Section 7.03; provided, however, that neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) make a Change in the Parent Recommendation in connection with such disclosure unless permitted by Section 7.03(d) and (ii) any public statement made that relates to a Competing Parent Transaction shall be deemed to be a Change in the Parent Recommendation unless the Parent Board references or otherwise reaffirms the Parent Recommendation in such public statement (it being understood that any stop, look and listen communication by or on behalf of Parent pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) shall not be considered a Change in the Parent Recommendation). Any Change in the Parent Recommendation shall not change the approval of the Parent Board for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state Law to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
59
(f) Citrix agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall cause each of its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to Parents stockholders), with respect to any Competing SpinCo Transaction; (ii) enter into, maintain, continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a proposal or offer with respect to a Competing SpinCo Transaction; (iii) agree to, approve, endorse, recommend or consummate any Competing SpinCo Transaction; (iv) enter into any Competing SpinCo Transaction Agreement; or (v) resolve, propose or agree, or authorize any Representative to do any of the foregoing. Citrix acknowledges and agrees that the doing of any of the foregoing by Citrix or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach by Citrix of this Section 7.03(f). Citrix shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Parent and its Affiliates) conducted prior to the execution of this Agreement by Citrix or any of its Representatives with respect to any Competing SpinCo Transaction. Citrix shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives to, release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or one of its Affiliates is a party in connection with any Competing SpinCo Transaction. Citrix shall promptly request each Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with Citrix in connection with such Persons consideration of any Competing SpinCo Transaction (whether by merger, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), to return (or if permitted by the applicable confidentiality agreement, destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement. Citrix shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after Citrix attains knowledge thereof) notify Parent, orally and in writing, after the receipt by Citrix or any of its Representatives of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) with respect to a Competing SpinCo Transaction, including any request for discussions or negotiations and any request for information relating to Citrix or any of its Affiliates with respect to the SpinCo Business, or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of Citrix or any of its Affiliates with respect to the SpinCo Business.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Citrix shall not be required to provide any access or disclose any information to Parent or its Representatives if such disclosure would reasonably be expected to (A) jeopardize, or result in a loss or waiver of, any attorney-client or other legal privilege; (B) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement; or (C) result in the loss of protection of any proprietary information or Trade Secrets of any Citrix Entity. When accessing any of Citrixs properties, Parent shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, comply with all of Citrixs security requirements for the applicable property; provided that Citrix shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such access or information pursuant to clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 7.04(a) and thereafter Citrix and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such access or information, as applicable, to be provided, or made available, in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to jeopardize such privilege, contravene such applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement, or result in any loss of such protection of proprietary information.

In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.05.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary or advisable for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Ancillary
61
Agreements; (ii) cooperate fully with the other parties in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals; and (iii) provide such other information to any Governmental Authority as such Governmental Authority may reasonably request in connection herewith.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the parties undertakings pursuant to Section 7.06(a)-(b), and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any antitrust or competition Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Separation Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Termination Date, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant hereto, and the entrance into such other arrangements, as are necessary or advisable in order to avoid the entry of, and the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Separation Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (Antitrust Remedial Actions); provided that the effectiveness of such Antitrust Remedial Action shall be contingent on the consummation of the Merger; and provided further that (i) no Antitrust Remedial Actions that require sales, divestitures or dispositions of any assets, properties or businesses shall be required if such assets, properties or businesses account for more than $40.0 million in estimated, or, if applicable, actual revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and (ii) no other Antitrust Remedial Actions shall be required if such Antitrust Remedial Actions would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a reduction in annual revenue to Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and the Transferred Subsidiaries) of more than $40.0 million. In addition, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, defend through litigation on the merits through a lower court ruling any Action by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing prior to the Termination Date.

62
(d) Each party hereto shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of any communication it or any of its Representatives receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other parties to review in advance any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority. None of the parties hereto shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of an investigation), litigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties hereto may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods, including under the HSR Act. Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (i) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Law; and (ii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns.
(e) Each party hereto agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any transaction, or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that might reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase the time required, by more than a de minimis extent, to (i) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, or any other applicable antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law, applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; (ii) avoid the entry of, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Loan Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; or (iii) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(f) Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain the FCC Consent and (ii) obtain all approvals, authorizations, or consents and submit all notices listed on Schedule 4.05 of the Citrix Disclosure Letter.
Section 7.07 Tax Matters.
(a) This Agreement is intended to constitute a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulations sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3 and the parties hereto hereby adopt it as such. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure the Tax-Free Status of the External Transactions, including causing each of the Separation and the Merger to qualify, and will not knowingly take any action, cause or permit any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act could prevent the Tax-Free Status of the External Transactions, including preventing the Separation or the Merger from qualifying, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Following the Effective Time, none of Citrix, the Surviving Corporation, Parent nor any of their Affiliates shall knowingly take any action, cause or permit any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act could cause either the Separation or the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or otherwise prevent the parties from achieving the Tax-Free Status of the External Transactions.
(b) Parent and Citrix shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts in order for (i) Parent to obtain the opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP (Parent Tax Counsel), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, dated as of the Closing Date to the effect that, on the basis of the facts and customary representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion and the Tax Representation Letters and on the assumption that the conclusion in clause (ii)(A) of this Section 7.07(b) is correct, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that each of Parent, Merger Sub and SpinCo will be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code (Parent Merger Tax Opinion); (ii) Citrix to obtain the opinion of Skadden, Arps,
63
Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (Citrix Tax Counsel), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Citrix, dated as of the Closing Date, on the basis of the facts and customary representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion and the Tax Representation Letters, as to the Tax-Free Status of the External Transactions, including that for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, (A) (1) the Contribution and Distribution, taken together, will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and each of Citrix and SpinCo will be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, (2) the Distribution, as such, will qualify as a distribution of the SpinCo Common Stock to Citrixs shareholders pursuant to Section 355 of the Code, and as a transaction in which the stock distributed thereby is qualified property for purposes of Sections 355(d), 355(e) and 361(c) of the Code, and (3) the Merger will not cause Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to the Distribution (the Citrix Separation Tax Opinion); and (B) the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that each of Parent, Merger Sub and SpinCo will be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code (the Citrix Merger Tax Opinion, and together with the Citrix Separation Tax Opinion, Citrix RMT Tax Opinions), and (iii) any Tax opinions required to be filed with the SEC in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement to be timely filed.
(c) As a condition precedent to the rendering of the Parent Merger Tax Opinion and the Citrix RMT Tax Opinions, Parent, Citrix and SpinCo, and others, if required, shall execute and deliver to Citrix Tax Counsel and Parent Tax Counsel the Tax Representation Letters as of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the date for filing any Tax opinion required to be filed with the SEC in connection with the filing of either of the Registration Statements; provided, however, that (x) the foregoing does not require that any Person make a representation that they do not believe to be accurate and (y) each of Citrix and Parent, respectively, shall be entitled to a reasonable amount of time to provide the other Party with written comments to the Tax Representation Letters in support of the Citrix Merger Tax Opinion and the Parent Merger Tax Opinion, respectively.
(d) As of the date hereof, Parent does not know of any reason (i) why it would not be able to deliver the Tax Representation Letters at the applicable times set forth in Section 7.07(c); or (ii) why Parent would not be able to obtain the opinion contemplated by Section 8.02(b)(i). As of the date hereof, Citrix and SpinCo do not know of any reason (i) why they would not be able to deliver the Tax Representation Letters at the applicable times set forth in Section 7.07(c); or (ii) why Citrix would not be able to obtain the opinion contemplated by Section 8.03(b)(i).
(e) Citrix (i) as of the date of this Agreement, does not know and has no reason to believe, that any SpinCo Common Stock to be exchanged for Parent Common Stock may not be Qualified SpinCo Common Stock; (ii) will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent any SpinCo Common Stock to be exchanged for Parent Common Stock from not being Qualified SpinCo Common Stock; and (iii) will promptly notify Parent if, before the Effective Time, it knows or has reason to believe that any SpinCo Common Stock to be exchanged for Parent Common Stock may not be Qualified SpinCo Common Stock.

Section 7.11 Confidentiality.
(a) The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of November 2015 (the Confidentiality Agreement), between Citrix and Parent, are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing and shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until their expiration in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that, upon the Closing, the confidentiality obligations of Parent contained in the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate in respect of that portion of the Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) exclusively relating to the SpinCo Business. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
(b) Nothing provided to Parent or Citrix or their respective Representatives pursuant to Section 7.04 shall in any way amend or diminish the parties obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 7.14 Employee Benefits Matters.
(a) Parent agrees that, for at least one (1) year following the Effective Time, it shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, except as otherwise required under the Employee Matters Agreement, provide each SpinCo Employee, while such SpinCo Employee remains employed (a Continuing SpinCo Employee), with the opportunity to participate in the employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent and its Subsidiaries in substantially the same manner as similarly-situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the service of each Continuing SpinCo Employee to be recognized for purposes of eligibility to participate, levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) and vesting under (i) any severance policy or program of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates and (ii) for at least one (1) year after the Effective Time, each other compensation, retirement,
66
vacation, fringe or other welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, but not including any equity compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements in which any such employee is or becomes eligible to participate, but solely to the extent service was credited to such employee for such purposes under a comparable employee benefit plan, program or policy of Citrix and its Subsidiaries (each a Citrix Plan) immediately prior to the Effective Time and solely to the extent such credit would not result in a duplication of benefits.
(b) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to each Parent Plan that provides for dental, medical or vision benefits in which any Continuing SpinCo Employee participates, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Parent Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Parent Plan for such employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Citrix Plan in which such employee was a participant immediately prior to the Effective Time but, with respect to long-term disability and life insurance benefits and coverage, solely to the extent permitted under the terms and conditions of Parents applicable insurance contracts in effect as of the relevant time; provided, however, that for purposes of clarity, to the extent such benefit coverage includes eligibility conditions based on periods of employment, Section 7.14(a) shall control; and (ii) provide each Continuing SpinCo Employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and prior to the date that, such employee commences participation in such Parent Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Parent Plan for the applicable calendar year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable Citrix Plan. Citrix shall as promptly as reasonably practicable provide Parent or its designee with such information as Parent reasonably requests regarding the Citrix Plans and the participation of Continuing SpinCo Employee therein and shall otherwise provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Parent at Citrixs expense to the extent reasonably necessary to allow Parent to satisfy its obligations under Sections 7.14(a) and (b).
(c) From time to time, upon Parents reasonable request, prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall provide Parent with (i) an updated SpinCo Employee Schedule to reflect changes to the information provided on the SpinCo Employee Schedule, including as result of new hires or employment terminations and (ii) an updated SpinCo Contractor Schedule. Upon Parents written notice to Citrix delivered at least five days prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall cause the employment of any individuals mutually identified by Citrix and Parent to be transferred to Citrix or one of its Subsidiaries (other than SpinCo and its Subsidiaries) effective prior to the Distribution Effective Time and any such transferred employee shall not be a SpinCo Employee for purposes of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.14 are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right in any other Person, or any right to continued employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 7.14 shall be deemed to amend or require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to continue or amend any particular benefit plan before or after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.
Section 7.15 Takeover Statutes. If any fair price, moratorium, control share acquisition, business combination or other form of antitakeover Law shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective boards of directors shall use all reasonable efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 7.16 Defense of Litigation. Parent shall keep Citrix apprised in the defense of any Action brought by stockholders of Parent or in the name of Parent against Parent and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger; provided that, prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall not compromise, settle, come to an arrangement regarding or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any Action arising or resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
67
consent to the same, without the prior written consent of Citrix (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the extent (a) such Action includes Citrix or any of its Subsidiaries, or their directors or officers as named defendants or (b) such compromise, settlement or arrangement would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the parties to perform their respective obligations hereunder, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in a timely manner.
Section 7.17 SpinCo Authorized Shares. Prior to the Distribution, Citrix and SpinCo shall take all such actions necessary to amend and restate SpinCos certificate of incorporation, in form reasonably acceptable to Parent, such that the authorized number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock shall exceed the number of Shares contemplated by Section 2.04(f) of this Agreement.

Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporations property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending the Bylaws of the corporation; and, unless the resolution or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock.

Section 3.13 Indemnification.
(a) The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under the DGCL from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by the DGCL, and the indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
(b) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(c) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
5
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
(d) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation shall be successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 3.13, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
(e) Any indemnification under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 3.13 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 3.13. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
(f) Expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.
(g) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(h) The Board of Directors may authorize, by a vote of a majority of a quorum of the Board of Directors, the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
6
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Section 3.13.
(i) For purposes of this Section 3.13, references to the corporation shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 3.13 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(j) For purposes of this Section 3.13, references to other enterprises shall include any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plans or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent; references to fines shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to serving at the request of the corporation shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner not opposed to the best interests of the corporation as referred to in this Section 3.13.
(k) For purposes of this Section 3.13, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such persons conduct was unlawful, if such persons action is based on the records or books of account of the corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 3.13 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) hereof, as the case may be.
(l) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 3.13 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(m) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification
7
brought under this Section 3.13 or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporations obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys fees).
(n) Any amendment, repeal, or modification of this Section 3.13 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a person entitled to rights or protection hereunder existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

5.

4
of Stockholders (any of events described in clauses (i) through (v), a Company Event). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this paragraph 5 shall prohibit or restrict the Investor Designee from exercising his rights and fiduciary duties as a director of the Company or restrict his discussions solely among other members of the Board and/or management, advisors, representatives or agents of the Company.
6.

The foregoing shall not restrict the ability of any person to comply with any subpoena or other legal process or respond to a request for information from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought.
7. The Company hereby agrees that the Investor Designee may provide confidential information of the Company to the Investors and their Affiliates subject to, and solely in accordance with the terms of, a confidentiality agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (which the Investors agree to execute and deliver to the Company simultaneously with the Investors execution and delivery of this Agreement). The Investors and the Investor Designee hereby acknowledge that they and their Affiliates are aware that United States securities laws may restrict any person who has material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling any securities of such company while in possession of such information. Accordingly, the Investors shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, purchase and sell securities of the Company only in compliance with the Companys insider trading policy, a copy of which has been provided to the Investors.
8. As used in this Agreement, the term (a) Affiliate shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act and shall include Persons who become Affiliates of any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement; provided that Affiliate shall not include any person that is a publicly held concern and is otherwise an Affiliate solely by reason of the fact that an employee or principal of the Investor serves as a member of the board of directors or similar governing body of such concern; (b) beneficially own, beneficially owned and beneficial ownership shall have the meaning set forth in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5(b)(l) promulgated under the Exchange Act and shall include any other economic exposure to Company common stock, including through any swap or other derivative transaction, that gives a Person the economic equivalent of ownership of Company common stock, including, without limitation, the notional number of shares subject to derivative agreements in the form of cash-settled swaps; (c) business day shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on
5
which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed; (d) Expiration Date means the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement; provided that, if the Investor Designee remains a director of the Company as of such anniversary date, then the Expiration Date shall be automatically extended until the earlier of (i) the date that the Board fails to re-nominate the Investor Designee as a director of the Company in connection with an Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which the Investor Designees term of office expires or (ii) the date that the Investor Designee resigns as a director of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the Board shall have no obligation to re-nominate the Investor Designee as a director of the Company [following the 2017 Annual Meeting]1); (e) Person shall be interpreted broadly to include, among others, any individual, general or limited partnership, corporation, limited liability or unlimited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, group, association or other entity of any kind or structure; (f) Third Party means any Person that is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate thereof, a member of the Board, a director or officer of the Company, or legal counsel to any party to this Agreement; and (g) Voting Securities shall mean the shares of common stock of the Company and any other securities of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors, or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such shares or other securities, whether or not subject to the passage of time or other contingencies.
9. Each of the Investors, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and is a valid and binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; (b) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has or will during the Restricted Period have, any agreement, arrangement or understanding, written or oral, with any member of the Board (other than the Investor Designee) pursuant to which such individual has been or will be compensated for his or her service as a director on, or nominee for election to, the Board; and (c) as of the date of this Agreement, (i) the Investors, together with all of their respective Affiliates, as of the Closing of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will collectively beneficially own, an aggregate of [ ● ] shares of Voting Securities and (ii) except as previously disclosed in writing to the Company prior to the execution of this Agreement, none of the Investors nor any of their respective Affiliates, is a party to any swap or hedging transactions or other derivative agreements of any nature with respect to the Voting Securities.
10. The Company represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms; (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not require the approval of the stockholders of the Company; and (c) the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not and will not violate any law, any order of any court or other agency of government, the Companys Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, each as amended from time to time, or any provision of any agreement or other instrument to which the Company or any of its properties or assets is bound, or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such agreement or other instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of, or give rise to, any material lien, charge, restriction, claim, encumbrance or adverse penalty of any nature whatsoever pursuant to any such indenture, agreement or other instrument.

11. The Company and each of the Investors each acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by it and that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach hereof, (a) the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief, without proof of actual damages; (b) the breaching party will not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; and (c) the breaching party agrees to waive any applicable right or requirement that a bond be posted by the non-breaching party. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
12. This Agreement (including its exhibits) constitutes the only agreement between the Investors and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party. Any purported transfer requiring consent without such consent shall be void. No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party affected thereby, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose stated therein. Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
13. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. The parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.
14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the Investors and the Company (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware; (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or otherwise in any court other than such courts; and (d) waives any claim of improper venue or any claim that those courts are an inconvenient forum. The parties agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in paragraph 20 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each of the
7
parties, after consulting or having had the opportunity to consult with counsel, knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any right that such party may have to a trial by jury in any litigation based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any related instrument or agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any course of conduct, dealing, statements (whether oral or written), or actions of any of them. No party shall seek to consolidate, by counterclaim or otherwise, any action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived.
15. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties and is not enforceable by any other Person.
16. All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and other communications provided for herein, and all legal process in regard hereto, will be in writing and will be deemed validly given, made or served when delivered in person, by electronic mail, by overnight courier or two business days after being sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows:

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement shall become effective upon the appointment of the Investor Designee to the Board of Directors (the Board) of LogMeIn, Inc. (the Company) pursuant to the other letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and you (the Cooperation Agreement). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Cooperation Agreement. Subject to the terms of, and in accordance with, this letter agreement, you and, subject to the restrictions in paragraph 1, your Representatives and Affiliates, may receive certain information about the Company and its subsidiaries, divisions and Affiliates from the Investor Designee that is confidential and proprietary and the disclosure of which could harm the Company and its subsidiaries. You understand and agree that disclosure of any such information by the Investor Designee shall be subject in all cases to his fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders and the Company Policies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Investor Designee shall not disclose to you or your Representatives or Affiliates (i) any information regarding the deliberations of the Board or its committees as a whole or of individual members of the Board or its committees or members of the Companys management (which the parties agree shall not include factual information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries, divisions and Affiliates), (ii) any confidential or proprietary information of any third party in the possession of the Company and its subsidiaries that either (x) is identified as such to the Investor Designee by or on behalf of the Company or (y) as to which it is reasonably apparent that the Company or any of its subsidiaries is obligated by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation prohibiting disclosure or (iii) any information that may constitute waiver of the Companys or any of its subsidiaries attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product privilege (both with respect to internal or external legal counsel) that is identified as such to the Investor Designee by or on behalf of the Company.
As a condition of your being furnished such information, you agree to treat any information, whether written or oral, concerning the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or Affiliates that is furnished to you by or on behalf of the Investor Designee (herein collectively referred to as the Confidential Information) in accordance with the provisions of this letter agreement and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions herein set forth. The term Confidential Information includes, without limitation, all notes, analyses, data or other documents furnished to you or your Affiliates or Representatives or prepared by you or your Affiliates or Representatives to the extent such materials reflect or are based upon, in whole or in part, the Confidential Information. The term Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is or becomes available to you or the Investor Designee on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Company or its Affiliates or representatives; provided that such source is not known by you or the Investor Designee to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to, the Company that prohibits such disclosure, (b) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by you or your Representatives or Affiliates in violation of this letter agreement, or (c) has been or is independently developed by you or your Representatives or Affiliates without the use of the Confidential Information or in violation of the terms of this letter agreement. For purposes of this letter agreement, the term Representatives shall include your and your Affiliates directors, officers, employees and attorneys.
1. You hereby agree that the Confidential Information will be kept confidential and used solely for the purpose of monitoring and evaluating your investment in the Company; provided, however, that the Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) to your Affiliates and any of your Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of advising you on your investment in the Company, (ii) in accordance with paragraph 3 of this letter agreement, or (iii) as the Company may otherwise consent in writing. All such Affiliates and Representatives shall (A) be informed by you of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, (B) agree to keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential, and (C) be advised of the terms of this letter agreement. You agree to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this letter agreement by any of your Affiliates or Representatives as if they were party hereto (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy the Company may have against your Affiliates and Representatives with respect to such breach).
2. You hereby acknowledge that you, your Affiliates and your Representatives are aware that the Confidential Information may contain material, non-public information about the Company, and that the U.S. securities laws restrict any person who has material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling any securities of such company while in possession of such information, and further acknowledge your obligations and those of your Affiliates and Representatives under Section 7 of the Cooperation Agreement.
3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this letter agreement, in the event you or any of your Affiliates or Representatives receive a request or are required by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an External Demand) or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, regulation or the rules of any national securities exchange (as determined based on advice of outside legal counsel) to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information, agree to, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) promptly notify the Company of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand or other requirement, (b) consult with the Company on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) in the case of any External Demand, assist the Company, at the Companys request and expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or not available or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, (i) you or your Affiliates or Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which you or your Affiliates or Representatives are advised by
2
counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to the extent you or your Affiliates or Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required, and, in the case of any External Demand, you or your Affiliates or Representatives shall, at the Companys request and expense, exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information, and (ii) you or your Affiliates or Representatives shall not be liable for such disclosure, unless such disclosure was caused by or resulted from a previous disclosure by you or your Affiliates or Representatives in violation of this letter agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case of an External Demand, you and your Affiliates and Representatives may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to this paragraph 3 if but only if such disclosure requirement does not arise from a breach of paragraph 9 of the Cooperation Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that there shall be no applicable law, regulation or rule requiring you or your Affiliates or Representatives to disclose any Confidential Information solely by virtue of the fact that, absent such disclosure, you or your Affiliates or Representatives would be prohibited from purchasing, selling or engaging in derivative or other voluntary transactions with respect to the securities of the Company or you or your Affiliates or Representatives would be unable to file any proxy materials in compliance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder.
4. Upon the Companys demand, you shall either promptly (at your option) (a) destroy the Confidential Information and any copies thereof, or (b) return to the Company all Confidential Information and any copies thereof, and, in either case, confirm in writing to the Company that all such material has been destroyed or returned, as applicable, in compliance with this letter agreement, provided that (i) you and your Affiliates and Representatives shall be permitted to retain Confidential Information to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or such persons document retention policies designed to ensure compliance with applicable law and (ii) the foregoing shall not require the deletion of Confidential Information from computer archives maintained in the ordinary course (provided that you and your Affiliates and Representatives shall continue to be bound by the obligations of confidentiality hereunder with respect to such Confidential Information for such period of time as you and such Affiliates or Representatives retain such Confidential Information).
5. You acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this letter agreement by you or your Affiliates or Representatives and that the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this letter agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
6. You agree that (a) none of the Company or their respective Affiliates or representatives shall have any liability to you or any of your Affiliates or Representatives resulting from the selection, use or content of the Confidential Information by you or your Affiliates or Representatives and (b) none of the Company or their respective Affiliates or representatives makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any Confidential Information.
