WHEREAS, Citrix and SpinCo intend that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Internal Reorganization, the Separation and the Distribution will be treated as contemplated by the Tax Matters Agreement and, accordingly, that the (a) Separation and the Distribution, taken together, qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code and that each of Citrix and SpinCo will be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and (b) the Distribution, as such, qualifies as a distribution of SpinCo Common Stock to Citrixs stockholders pursuant to Section 355 of the Code; and

and responsibilities of the Parties to seek the regulatory approvals or clearances contemplated by antitrust, competition or trade regulation filings, Section 7.06(f) of the Merger Agreement and Parent Stockholder Approval shall be governed by the Merger Agreement.
(b) If and to the extent that any Specified Consent with respect to any SpinCo Asset, SpinCo Liability, Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability has not been obtained prior to the Distribution Effective Time, then notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Transfer to the SpinCo Group of any such SpinCo Asset or SpinCo Liability, or to the Citrix Group of any such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, shall, unless the Parties shall mutually otherwise determine, be automatically deemed deferred, and any such purported Transfer or Assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Consent has been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Asset or Liability shall continue to constitute a SpinCo Asset, a SpinCo Liability, an Excluded Asset or an Excluded Liability, as applicable, and be subject to Section 2.4(c). If and when the legal or contractual impediments the presence of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or Liability pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) are removed or any Consents the absence of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or Liability pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) are obtained, the Transfer of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected promptly without further consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement(s) and shall, to the extent possible without the imposition of any undue cost on any Party and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be deemed to have become effective as of the Distribution Effective Time. The obligations set forth in this Section 2.4(b) shall terminate on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Distribution Date or, if earlier with respect to any Contract, upon the expiration of the term of the Contract (without any obligation to renew or extend).
(c) If the Transfer of any Asset or Liability intended to be Transferred is not consummated prior to or at the Distribution Effective Time as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason (including any misallocated transfers subject to Section 2.1(c)), then, insofar as reasonably possible (taking into account any applicable restrictions or considerations, in each case relating to the contemplated Tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby) and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Person retaining such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, (i) shall thereafter hold such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, in trust for the use and benefit and burden of the Person entitled thereto (and at such Persons sole expense) until the consummation of the Transfer thereof (or as otherwise determined by the Parties); and (ii) with respect to any deferred Assets or Liabilities, use reasonable best efforts to develop and implement mutually acceptable arrangements to place the Person entitled to receive such Asset or Liability, insofar as reasonably possible, in substantially the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, dominion, ability to enforce the rights under or with respect to and control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the Distribution Effective Time to the applicable member or members of the Citrix Group or the SpinCo Group entitled to the receipt of such Asset or required to Assume such Liability. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that to the fullest extent permitted by Law, (x) as of the Distribution Effective Time, each applicable member of Citrix Group and the SpinCo Group shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all
20
rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Person is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (y) each of Citrix and SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (A) treat for all Tax purposes the deferred Assets as Assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Person entitled to such Assets not later than the Distribution Effective Time, (B) treat for all Tax purposes the deferred Liabilities as having been Assumed by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Distribution Effective Time, and (C) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable Tax Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest). The obligations set forth in this Section 2.4(c) shall terminate on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Distribution Date or, if earlier with respect to any Contract, upon the expiration of the term of the Contract (without any obligation to renew or extend). Any Person retaining an Asset or a Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, shall not be required, in connection with the foregoing, to make any payments, incur any Liability or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, regardless of any provision to the contrary in any underlying Contract, including any requirements for the securing or posting of any bonds, letters of credit or similar instruments, or the furnishing of any guarantees) to any Third Party, except to the extent that the Person entitled to the Asset or responsible for the Liability, as applicable, agrees to reimburse and make whole the Person retaining an Asset or a Liability, to such Persons reasonable satisfaction, for any payment or other accommodation made by the Person retaining an Asset or a Liability at the request of the Person entitled to the Asset or responsible for the Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2.4(c), each of Citrix and SpinCo agrees that in the event that any Third Party requests that the Party holding such Asset or Liability make a payment or offer or grant an accommodation to obtain a Consent and the other Party provides notice in writing to the Party holding such Asset or Liability that such other Party does not agree to reimburse or make whole the Party holding such Asset or Liability in connection therewith, the other Party shall not be entitled to the benefits of the provisions in, and the Party holding such Asset or Liability will not be obligated to take any efforts under, this Section 2.4(c) in respect of any SpinCo Asset, SpinCo Liability, Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, as the case may be, which Transfer is subject to such Consent.
(d) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to separate the Shared Contracts into separate Contracts effective as of the Distribution Effective Time so that from and after such time, the SpinCo Group will be entitled to rights and benefits and shall Assume the related portion of Liabilities with respect to each Shared Contract to the extent related to the SpinCo Business and the Citrix Group will have the rights and benefits and shall Assume the related portion of Liabilities with respect to each Shared Contract to the extent related to the Citrix Business. Upon such separation of a Shared Contract, the separated Contract will be a SpinCo Asset or an Excluded Asset, as applicable. If the counterparty to any Shared Contract that is entitled under the terms of such Shared Contract to Consent to the separation of such Shared Contract has not provided such Consent, the terms of Section 2.4(c) shall apply to such Contract mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, Citrix shall not be required to seek or obtain any Consent with respect to a Shared Contract (i) that is not a Specified Consent, and (ii) unless receipt of such Consent would be necessary for the SpinCo Group to have rights and benefits under such Shared Contract; provided further, that if and when any Consent with respect
21
to a Shared Contract is obtained in accordance with this Section 2.4(d), such Shared Contract will be separated in accordance with this Section 2.4(d).

(ii) if a Citrix Indemnitee has made a determination that it is or may be entitled to indemnification in respect of any Citrix Claim, the Citrix Indemnitee shall so notify SpinCo as promptly as reasonably possible after becoming aware of the existence of such Citrix Claim (any such claim made pursuant to Section 5.4(a)(i) or this Section 5.4(a)(ii), a Direct Claim).
29
Each such notice shall be in writing and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for the claim for indemnification hereunder and set forth, to the extent known, the estimated amount of Indemnifiable Losses for which indemnification may be sought hereunder relating to such claim and, to the extent practicable, the method of computation thereof; provided, however, that the failure to provide (or delay in providing) such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay.
(b) Third Party Claims. If an Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion by any Third Party of any claim or demand or of the commencement by any Third Party of any Action as to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (a Third Party Claim), Citrix (on behalf of the Citrix Indemnitees) or SpinCo (on behalf of the SpinCo Indemnitees), as applicable (such claimant, the Claiming Party), shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the Third Party Claim in writing and in reasonable detail describing the basis for any claim for indemnification hereunder and including copies of all notices and documents received by the Claiming Party (and any or all of its Indemnitees) from Third Parties relating to the Third Party Claim (subject to any bona fide claims of attorney-client privilege) promptly (and in any event with twenty (20) days after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim); provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Claiming Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the receipt thereof by the Claiming Party (or any of its Indemnitees), copies of any and all additional written notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Claiming Party (or any of its Indemnitees) from Third Parties relating to the Third Party Claim, subject to any bona fide claims of attorney-client privilege.
(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.4(c), the Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Claiming Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Claiming Party pursuant to Section 5.4(b), to assume and conduct the defense (including settlement) of such Third Party Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the applicable Indemnitees. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense
30
of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 5.4(c), the Indemnitee may defend the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 5.4(c), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if (w) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, after consultation with outside counsel, there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s) in the defense of such Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party, (x) the party making such Third Party Claim is a Governmental Authority with regulatory or other authority over the Indemnitee or any of its material assets, (y) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or other nonmonetary relief that, if granted, would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Indemnitees business or (z) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, has the right to participate in (but, subject to the prior sentence, not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other Person is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim that (I) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (II) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, or for monetary relief with respect to which the Indemnitee and its Affiliates are not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or (III) in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, would otherwise materially and adversely affect the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates. The Indemnitee may consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d) The Claiming Party and the Indemnifying Party shall (and the Claiming Party shall cause the applicable Indemnitee(s) to) make reasonably available to each other and their respective agents and representatives all relevant information available to them that are necessary or appropriate for the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to any bona fide claims of attorney-client privilege, and each of the Indemnifying Party and the Claiming Party shall use its reasonable efforts to assist, and to cause the employees and counsel of such party to assist, in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If a Party asserts its right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Party controlling the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim shall act in good faith and reasonably consult and cooperate with the Indemnitee or the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, in connection with any appearances, briefs, arguments and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party in connection with the Third Party Claim (including considering in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by the Indemnitee or the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, in connection any filings made with any Governmental Authority or proposals to the Third Party claimant in connection therewith).
31
(e) With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Parties in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that, to the extent reasonably practicable, will preserve for all Parties any Privilege with respect thereto).
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.4, Citrix may elect to have exclusive authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of any Specified Claim regardless of whether the Specified Claim constitutes a SpinCo Liability. To the extent SpinCo or any of its Affiliates is named as a target or defendant in any Specified Claim, SpinCo shall provide prompt notice to Citrix of such Specified Claim. To the extent SpinCo may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or SpinCo or any of its Affiliates is named as a target or defendant with respect to any Specified Claim, (i) Citrix shall consult with SpinCo on a regular basis with respect to strategy and developments with respect to such Specified Claim, (ii) SpinCo shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of the Specified Claim and (iii) Citrix must obtain the written consent of SpinCo, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to such Specified Claim if such settlement, consent or judgment would (i) provide for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief against SpinCo or any of its Affiliates, or for monetary relief with respect to which the SpinCo and its Affiliate are not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of SpinCo, otherwise adversely affect SpinCo or any of its Affiliates. After any such compromise, settlement, consent to entry of judgment or entry of judgment with respect to any such Specified Claim, Citrix and SpinCo shall agree upon a reasonable allocation to SpinCo and SpinCo shall be responsible for or receive, as the case may be, SpinCos proportionate share of any such compromise, settlement, consent or judgment attributable to the SpinCo Business, the SpinCo Assets or the SpinCo Liabilities, including its proportionate share of the reasonable costs and expenses associated with defending same.
(g) The provisions of this Section 5.4 (other than this Section 5.4(g)) and Section 5.7 (other than Section 5.7(g)) shall not apply to Taxes (Taxes being governed by the Tax Matters Agreement).
Section 5.5 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.
(a) Any recovery by any Party (including any of its Indemnitees) for any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be calculated (i) net of Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Party (or any of its Indemnitees) with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss and (ii) net of any proceeds actually received by such Party (or any of its Indemnitees) from any Third Party with respect to any such Liability corresponding to the Indemnifiable Loss (Third Party Proceeds), in the case of (i) and (ii) net of the costs of collection thereof and any increase in premium attributable thereto under applicable Third Party Policies. Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article V to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article V shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore
32
actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee corresponding to the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party corresponding to any Indemnifiable Loss (an Indemnity Payment) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.
(b) Insurers and Other Third Parties Not Relieved. The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other Third Party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, and that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a windfall (e.g., a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any Indemnity Payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement.
Section 5.6 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article V is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnitee (other than failure to provide notice with respect to any Third Party Claims in accordance with Section 5.4(b)) in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section 5.6, contribute to the Indemnifiable Losses incurred, paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of SpinCo and each other member of the SpinCo Group, on the one hand, and Citrix and each other member of the Citrix Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss. Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 5.6: (i) any fault associated with the conduct of the Citrix Business prior to the Distribution Effective Time shall be deemed to be allocated to Citrix and the other members of the Citrix Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo or any other member of the SpinCo Group; and (ii) any fault associated with the conduct of the SpinCo Business prior to the Distribution Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Citrix or any other member of the Citrix Group.

Section 5.7 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.
(a) The agreements contained in this Article V shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to payment hereunder. The agreements contained in this Article V shall survive the Distribution.
(b) The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this Article V shall survive (i) the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its respective Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities and (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of the Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c) The Parties intend and hereby agree that this Article V sets forth the exclusive remedy of the Parties and the parties to the Conveyance and Assumption Instruments, as applicable, following the Distribution Effective Time for any Liabilities arising out of any breach of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (including with respect to Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, resulting from or related to Excluded Liabilities or SpinCo Liabilities, as the case may be) or any Conveyance and Assumption Instrument, except that nothing contained in this Section 5.7(c) shall impair any right of any Person (a) to specific performance under this Agreement or (b) to equitable relief as provided in Section 8.17 or in any other Transaction Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the other Parties in connection herewith or any Conveyance and Assumption Instrument or arising under or based upon any Law other than the right to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article V and the right to seek the relief described in clauses (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence. Each Party shall cause its Representatives to comply with this Section 5.7(c).
(d) Any amounts payable pursuant to this Article V shall be paid without duplication, and in no event shall any party be indemnified or receive contribution under different provisions of any Transaction Agreement for the same Liabilities (including to the extent specifically included in the calculation of the Final Net Adjustment Amount).
(e) Any amount to be paid or reimbursed by an Indemnifying Party (or a member of such Partys Group) to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Article V shall be paid in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.11.
(f) From and after the Distribution Effective Time, with respect to any Action where Citrix or SpinCo (or any member of such other Partys Group) is a defendant, when and if requested by such Party, the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to petition the applicable court or tribunal to remove the requesting Party as a defendant to the extent that such Action relates solely to Assets or Liabilities that the other Party (or any member of such other Partys Group) has been allocated pursuant to Article II, and the other Party shall cooperate and assist in any required communication with any plaintiff or other related Third Party.
34
(g) The Parties shall report for all Tax purposes any amounts payable pursuant to this Article V in accordance with Section 12.01 of the Tax Matters Agreement.
(h) No Party hereto shall have any right to set off any losses (including Indemnifiable Losses) under this Article V against any payments to be made by such Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, including the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.
(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Article V is intended to provide any rights of indemnification in respect of any other Transaction Agreement.

Each of Citrix and SpinCo agree to make their respective personnel available during regular business hours to discuss the information exchanged pursuant to this Article VI.

35
(c) Nothing in this Article VI shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any Third Party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information relating to that Third Party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party would be required under this Section 6.1 to disclose any such information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such Third Partys written consent to the disclosure of such information and to otherwise disclose any such information in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to violate such agreement.
(d) Neither Citrix nor SpinCo will have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement that is an estimate or forecast, or that is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate in the absence of willful misconduct by the providing Person.

Without limitation of Section 6.1, from the Distribution Effective Time until the completion of each Partys audit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required by Law for Citrix to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for any period during which the financial results of the SpinCo Group were consolidated with those of Citrix), each of Citrix and SpinCo agrees to provide reasonable assistance and, subject to Section 6.6, reasonable access to its properties, books and records, other information and personnel, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Partys requests, in each case to enable (i) such other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and managements assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K, (ii) such other Partys accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements of such other Party, including, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditors audit of its internal control over financial reporting and managements assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SECs and Public Company Accounting Oversight Boards rules and auditing standards thereunder and (iii) such other Party to respond to any written request or official comment from a Governmental Authority, including in connection with responding to a comment letter from the SEC; provided, that in connection with this clause (iii), each Party shall provide reasonable access on the terms set forth in this Section 6.2 for a period of three years following the Distribution Date.

36
no conflict in the Action between the requesting Party and the other Party. A Party providing a witness to the other Party under this Section 6.3 shall be entitled to receive from the recipient of such witness services, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees who are witnesses or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees employer regardless of the employees service as witnesses), as may be reasonably incurred and properly paid under applicable Law.

No Party shall destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any information which the other Parties may have the right to obtain pursuant to this Agreement prior to the end of the retention period set forth in such Partys retention policies without first using its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other Parties of the proposed destruction and giving the other Parties the opportunity to take possession or make copies of such Information prior to such destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tax Matters Agreement will govern the retention of Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all material records or other documents relating thereto.
Section 6.6 Confidentiality.
(a) From and after the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall not, and shall cause each member of the Citrix Group and its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of SpinCo, disclose to any Third Party (other than to each other and their respective Representatives who need to know the information and who are advised of the confidential nature of such information) any Confidential Information related to the SpinCo Business; provided, that the foregoing restrictions shall not (i) apply to any information generally available to the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 6.6(a)) or (ii) prohibit disclosure required by applicable Law so long as, to the extent legally permissible, Citrix or such member of the Citrix Group provides SpinCo with reasonable prior notice of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to contest such disclosure at SpinCos sole expense. From and after the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall, and shall cause each member of the Citrix Group and its and their respective Representatives to, use such Confidential Information related to the SpinCo Business only in connection with the purpose for which such Confidential Information was retained by Citrix or such member of the Citrix Group in accordance with this Agreement, and for no other reason (and only for so long as such purpose continues to be applicable to Citrix or such member of the Citrix Group).
37
(b) From and after the Distribution Effective Time, LogMeIn shall not, and LogMeIn shall cause its Subsidiaries, including SpinCo and each other member of the SpinCo Group, and its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Citrix, disclose to any Third Party (other than to each other and their respective Representatives who need to know the information and who are advised of the confidential nature of such information) any Confidential Information related to the Citrix Business; provided, that the foregoing restrictions shall not (i) apply to any information generally available to the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 6.6(b)) or (ii) prohibit disclosure required by applicable Law so long as, to the extent legally permissible, SpinCo or such member of the SpinCo Group provides Citrix with reasonable prior notice of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to contest such disclosure at Citrixs sole expense. From and after the Distribution Effective Time, LogMeIn and SpinCo shall, and LogMeIn shall cause its Subsidiaries, including SpinCo and each other member of the SpinCo Group, and its and their respective Representatives to, use such Confidential Information related to the Citrix Business only in connection with the purpose for which such Confidential Information was retained by SpinCo or such member of the SpinCo Group in accordance with this Agreement, and for no other reason (and only for so long as such purpose continues to be applicable to SpinCo or such member of the SpinCo Group).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.6, (i) the sharing of Privileged Information shall be governed solely by Section 6.7, and (ii) information that is subject to any confidentiality provision or other disclosure restriction in any Ancillary Agreement shall be governed by the terms of such Ancillary Agreement.
Section 6.7 Privilege Matters.
(a) Pre-Distribution Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Distribution Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Citrix Group and the SpinCo Group, and that each of the members of the Citrix Group and the SpinCo Group and to the fullest extent permitted by Law should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-Distribution services for the purposes of asserting all privileges, immunities or other protections from disclosure which may be asserted under applicable Law, including attorney-client privilege, business strategy privilege, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege and protection under the work-product doctrine (Privilege). To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Citrix and SpinCo shall have a shared Privilege with respect to all information subject to Privilege (Privileged Information) which relates to such pre-Distribution services. For the avoidance of doubt, Privileged Information within the scope of this Section 6.7(a) includes, but is not limited to, services rendered by legal counsel retained or employed by any Citrix or SpinCo (or any member of such Partys respective Group), including outside counsel and in-house counsel.
(b) Post-Distribution Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Distribution Effective Time to each of Citrix and SpinCo. The Parties further recognize that certain of such post-Distribution services will be rendered solely for the benefit of Citrix or SpinCo, as the case may be, while other such
38
post-Distribution services may be rendered with respect to claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both Citrix and SpinCo. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, with respect to such post- Distribution services and related Privileged Information, the Parties agree as follows:
(i) All Privileged Information relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes or other matters which involve both Citrix and SpinCo shall be subject to a shared Privilege among the Parties involved in the claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes or other matters at issue; and
(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.7(b)(i), Privileged Information relating to post-Distribution services provided solely to one of Citrix or SpinCo shall not be deemed shared between the Parties; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed or interpreted to restrict the right or authority of the Parties (x) to enter into any further agreement, not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, concerning the sharing of Privileged Information or (y) otherwise to share Privileged Information without waiving any Privilege which could be asserted under applicable Law.
(c) The Parties agree as follows regarding all Privileged Information with respect to which the Parties shall have a shared Privilege under Section 6.7(a) or (b):
(i) Subject to Section 6.7(c)(iii) and (iv), neither Citrix nor SpinCo may waive, or allege or purport to waive, any Privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party has a shared Privilege, without the written consent of the other Party;
(ii) If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a Privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party and each of Citrix and SpinCo specifically agrees that it shall not withhold consent to waive for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests;
(iii) If, within fifteen (15) days of receipt by the requesting Party of written objection, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution to any dispute regarding whether a Privilege should be waived, and the requesting Party determines that a Privilege should nonetheless be waived to protect or advance its interest, the requesting Party shall provide the objecting Party fifteen (15) days written notice prior to effecting such waiver. Each Party specifically agrees that failure within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice to commence proceedings in accordance with Article VIII to enjoin such waiver under applicable Law shall be deemed full and effective consent to such waiver, and the Parties agree that any such Privilege shall not be waived by either party under the final determination of such dispute in accordance with Article VIII; and
(iv) In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either Citrix or SpinCo may waive a Privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared Privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided, that such waiver of a shared Privilege shall to the fullest extent permitted by Law be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared Privilege with respect to third parties.
39
(d) The transfer of all information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Citrix or SpinCo as set forth in Section 6.6 and this Section 6.7(d), to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain any applicable Privilege. The access to Information being granted pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 6.3, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 5.4 and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 6.8 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting a license or other rights to any Party with respect to any such Information, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
Section 6.9 Other Agreements. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of information set forth in any Transaction Agreement.
ARTICLE VII

40

Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions in connection with efforts to settle an Separation Agreement Dispute that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose, but shall be considered as to have been disclosed for settlement purposes.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR LIABILITY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR LIABILITY, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.16.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached and that any non-performance or breach of this Agreement by any Party could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at
45
law. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any Party may be entitled, at law or in equity (including monetary damages), such Party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

The Parties agree that they will not contest the appropriateness of specific performance as a remedy.
Section 8.18 Severability. If any term or other provision (or part thereof) of this Agreement is declared invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Governmental Authority, all other terms and provisions (or parts thereof) of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision (or part thereof) is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
Section 8.19 Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
Section 8.20 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances (including with respect to the rights, entitlements, obligations and recoveries that may arise out of one or more of Section 5.2, Section 5.3 and Section 5.4).
Section 8.21 No Admission of Liability. The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein (including on the Schedules hereto) is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between Citrix and SpinCo and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-à-vis any Third Party, including with respect to the Liabilities of any non-wholly owned subsidiary of Citrix or SpinCo.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Licensee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and permitted Sublicensees and Distributors to, at all times hold in strict confidence and not disclose, divulge or release in any manner or to any Person, or use except solely as and to the extent expressly permitted hereunder and at all times strictly in accordance with all terms and conditions hereof, any Software source code and associated documentation constituting, embodying or included in the Citrix Licensed IP or SpinCo Licensed IP licensed to such Licensee (collectively, the Proprietary Materials). Licensee shall protect and maintain the confidentiality of all Proprietary Materials using the same degree of care as it uses with respect to its own most sensitive confidential trade secrets and at all times with no less than the highest industry standards of confidentiality and information security.
(b) Licensee shall not disclose any Proprietary Materials except solely to such of its Sublicensees, Distributors, employees and contractors and customers who are bound by written confidentiality agreements no less protective than the terms of this Agreement and who strictly need to know such information for the purpose of exercising Licensees rights in accordance with this Agreement, and solely to the extent that they need to know the same for such purpose.

(e) In the event that Licensee is compelled by order of an applicable Governmental Authority to disclose Proprietary Materials, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor thereof and reasonably cooperate with and assist Licensor to obtain a protective order or otherwise limit such disclosure, and only if Licensee remains so compelled notwithstanding such efforts shall Licensee have the right to disclose to such Governmental Authority such specific items of Proprietary Materials solely to the extent so compelled, provided that Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of any such disclosed information. Notwithstanding any such disclosure, Licensee shall remain obligated under this Section 2.4 with respect to all Proprietary Materials.
(f) Licensee agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 2.4 are not performed in accordance with their specific terms. Accordingly, it is hereby agreed that Licensor shall have the right to seek specific performance, and injunctive or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 7.2, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
(g) Without limiting Licensees obligations under this Section 2.4 or under Section 6.6 of the Separation Agreement and Section 7.11(a) of the Merger Agreement, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that all information other than the Proprietary Materials constituting the Citrix Licensed IP or SpinCo Licensed IP licensed to Licensee that is confidential and proprietary to the Licensor (collectively, Confidential Information) shall be maintained by Licensee in confidence, using the same degree of care to protect and maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information that Licensee uses with respect to its own information of a similar nature and at all times with no less than a reasonable degree of care. Except as authorized in writing by Licensor, Licensee shall not disclose or permit to be disclosed any Confidential Information to any Person, (a) except as may be reasonably required in connection with the exercise of Licensees rights or licenses in accordance with this Agreement, and (b) except to Licensees Sublicensees, Distributors, employees, contractors and customers who are informed by Licensee of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are obligated to maintain its confidential nature. Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is in or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of Licensee, (ii) is obtained by Licensee without obligations of confidentiality from a Third Party having the legal
9
right to use and disclose such information, or (iii) is independently developed by Licensee without use of or reference to such information. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by any Governmental Authority, provided that Licensee shall notify Licensor of any such requirement and reasonably cooperate with Licensors efforts to obtain a protective order or otherwise limit such required disclosure.

SpinCo shall, or cause a SpinCo Group member to, offer (upon substantially comparable terms and conditions of employment) employment to each SpinCo LTD Employee when such SpinCo LTD Employee returns to work within the later of (i) the time period prescribed under applicable Law, (ii) the applicable leave policy governing such employee at the time the disability commenced or (iii) six (6) months, and shall hire each SpinCo LTD Employee who accepts such offer of employment and arrives to work for a SpinCo Group member. SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member, as the case may be, shall indemnify each Citrix Group member against any Liability with respect to a failure by SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member to (i) offer to hire such SpinCo LTD Employee or (ii) hire such SpinCo LTD Employee who accepts an offer of employment by SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member and arrives to work in accordance with this Section 2.1(b). To the extent that a SpinCo LTD Employee in the United States is on short-term disability leave as of the Distribution Effective
3
Time and subsequently becomes entitled to long-term disability benefits as a result of such disability (without having returned to work), such long-term disability benefits will be provided under the applicable Citrix Plan. Periodically following the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall calculate the cost of the compensation, benefits and other employment-related costs actually incurred by Citrix Group members in employing such SpinCo LTD Employees following the Distribution Effective Time (other than severance or other termination benefits and the costs of providing disability insurance coverage) and shall provide SpinCo with notice and reasonable documentation of such amount following SpinCos receipt of such notice, SpinCo shall reimburse such amount to Citrix. SpinCo LTD Employees shall be considered Citrix Employees unless and until either (a) their employment is terminated by the applicable Citrix Group member or (b) they return to active work and are hired by SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member pursuant to this Section 2.1(b).
(c) In the event that either Party reasonably determines following the Distribution Effective Time that any individual employed outside the United States who is not a SpinCo Employee has inadvertently become employed by a member of the SpinCo Group (due to the operation of transfer of undertakings or similar law or regulation), the Parties shall cooperate and take such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to cause the employment of such individuals to be promptly transferred to a member of the Citrix Group, and Citrix shall reimburse the members of the SpinCo Group for all compensation, benefits and other employment-related costs incurred by SpinCo Group members in employing such individuals.
(d) To the extent contractual or legal severance or other termination benefit becomes payable as a result of the transfers of employment described in Sections 2.1(a), (b) or (c), Citrix shall be responsible for the payment of such severance or termination benefit. LogMeIn shall be responsible for the payment of any severance or termination benefit incurred as a result of other employment terminations, transfers or other actions with respect to SpinCo Employees which are not undertaken in connection with the Internal Reorganization but which are either (1) undertaken by Citrix at the request of LogMeIn or (2) occurring upon or following the Distribution Effective Time.
(e) With respect to any employment agreements with SpinCo Employees that are not with SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member or which do not transfer to a SpinCo Group member by operation of applicable Law, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to assign the applicable Contract to a member of the SpinCo Group in the applicable jurisdiction (or such other SpinCo Group member as is designated by LogMeIn) and SpinCo shall, or shall cause a member of the SpinCo Group to, assume and perform such employment agreements. Prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each SpinCo Employee to enter into a new confidentiality, assignment and restrictive covenant agreement comparable to their current such agreements but with respect to the SpinCo Business, the beneficiary of which shall be SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member. To the extent that any SpinCo Employee does not enter into such a new confidentiality, assignment and restrictive covenant agreement, Citrix shall cause all rights and benefits of Citrix and any Citrix Group member under any confidentiality, assignment and restrictive covenant agreement with such SpinCo Employee to be assigned to the SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member, but only to the extent such rights and benefits relate to the SpinCo Business.
(f) With respect to any independent contractor agreements with SpinCo Contractors that are not with SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to assign the applicable Contract to a member of the SpinCo Group in the applicable jurisdiction (or such other SpinCo Group member as is designated by LogMeIn) and SpinCo shall,
4
or shall cause a member of the SpinCo Group to, assume and perform such independent contractor agreements. Prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall cause all rights and benefits of Citrix and any Citrix Group member under any confidentiality, assignment and restrictive covenant agreement with a SpinCo Contractor to be assigned to SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member, but only to the extent such rights and benefits relate to the SpinCo Business. To the extent that any SpinCo Contractor is not party to any confidentiality, assignment and restrictive covenant agreement with Citrix or any Citrix Group member, Citrix shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each such SpinCo Contractor to enter into a confidentiality, assignment and restrictive covenant agreement, the beneficiary of which shall be SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member.
(g) LogMeIn, SpinCo Group and SpinCo shall, or shall cause a member of the SpinCo Group to, provide each SpinCo Employee who incurs a termination of employment during the twelve (12) month period following the Distribution Effective Time with severance payments and severance benefits that are the same as the severance payments and severance benefits provided to similarly situated employees of LogMeIn under the LogMeIn Plans.

Citrix and SpinCo agree that (A) employment-related Liabilities not otherwise allocated herein and associated with (1) Citrix Participants and (2) SpinCo Participants (to the extent incurred prior to or on the date of the Distribution Effective Time and not incurred under a SpinCo Plan) are to be retained or assumed by Citrix or a Citrix Group member and (B) employment-related Liabilities not otherwise allocated herein and that are (1) associated with SpinCo Participants and incurred following the date of the Distribution Effective Time or (2) are incurred under a SpinCo Plan (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any such Liabilities associated with individuals who are not current SpinCo Employees or SpinCo LTD Employees as of Distribution Effective Time) are to be assumed by SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member, in each case, except as specifically set forth herein. For purposes of this Agreement, the following claims and liabilities shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (x) medical, vision, dental and/or prescription drug benefits (excluding hospital expenses), upon provision of the services, materials or supplies comprising any such benefits, (y) hospital expenses upon the date of admission and (z) short-term and long-term disability, life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death, illness, injury or accident giving rise to such benefits.
Section 2.3 SpinCo Participation in the Citrix Plans; Citrix Participation in SpinCo Plans. Effective as of the day following the Distribution Effective Time, SpinCo and each SpinCo Group member shall cease to be participating companies in each Citrix Plan, and Citrix and SpinCo shall take all necessary action before the Distribution Effective Time to effectuate such cessation as a participating company. To the extent the terms of a Citrix Plan (or the terms of any service provider with respect to a Citrix Plan) provide for continued coverage for a period of time following the Distribution Effective Time, such continued coverage shall not violate this Section 2.3. Effective as of the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall cause all employees and other individual services providers of Citrix who are not SpinCo Employees to cease participating in, and to have no further rights under, the SpinCo Plans. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.3 and those of the Separation Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall govern.

Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any Party may be entitled, at law or in equity (including monetary damages), such Party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision (or part thereof) is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

PROVISION OF THE SERVICES
2.1 Description of the Services. The Service Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, Transition Services (as defined below) and Additional Services (as defined below) in support of the SpinCo Business or the Citrix Business, as applicable. The Service Recipient shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance and resources as are required to receive the Services from the Service Provider, including without limitation the purchase of any software and hardware assets required to receive the Services, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that the Parties shall bear equally the costs and expenses incurred in connection with acquiring any such assets. The Service Provider shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent that (a) the Service Recipient fails to provide the assistance or resources referred to in the previous sentence, (b) such failure renders performance by the Service Provider of its obligations hereunder unlawful or (in the Service Providers reasonable determination) impracticable and (c) such failure (i) if reasonably capable of being cured, is not cured by the Service Recipient within thirty (30) days following written notice to the Service Recipient by the Service Provider of any such purported failure (it being understood and agreed that the Service Provider shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder during any such cure period), or (ii) is not reasonably capable of being cured. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no Services provided under this Agreement shall include, or shall be construed as constituting, accounting, legal or Tax advice or shall create any fiduciary obligations on the part of the Service Provider or any of its Affiliates to any Person, including to the Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates, or to any plan trustee or any customer of any of them.
2.1.1 Recent Historical Practice. As used herein, Recent Historical Practice shall mean the performance of services for the SpinCo Business or Citrix Business, as applicable, of the nature and at the level, volume and frequency of such services or similar services, in each case during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the date hereof, taking into account, where applicable, any inherent and material differences resulting from the Service Provider providing services outside of its organization.
3
2.1.2 Transition Services. The Service Provider or its designee shall provide the services (Transition Services) specified in Schedule I (with respect to Services to be provided by Citrix to SpinCo) or Schedule II (with respect to Services to be provided by SpinCo to Citrix) (such schedules, the Services Schedules), as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions for such Transition Services set forth in the applicable Services Schedule or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
2.1.3 Additional Services. The Service Recipient may request additional services to the extent such services reasonably relate to the transition of the SpinCo Business to SpinCo or the separation of the SpinCo Business from Citrix, as applicable (Additional Services); provided, however, that Additional Services shall be limited solely to services that were performed pursuant to Recent Historical Practice and that are reasonably necessary for the conduct of the SpinCo Business or the Citrix Business, as applicable, after the Distribution Effective Time, unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the Service Provider. Upon receipt of any such request, (a) if receipt of such request occurs within ninety (90) days after the date hereof, the Service Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such Additional Services, and (b) if receipt of such request occurs more than ninety (90) days after the date hereof, the Service Provider shall determine in its sole discretion whether to provide such Additional Services. If the Service Provider provides such Additional Services in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Parties shall: (x) negotiate in good faith the terms of the provision of such Additional Services, including the Fees for such Additional Services and the duration of such Additional Services, provided that the Fees shall, during the first six (6) months after the Effective Date, be equal to the Service Providers actual direct cost to provide the Additional Services, plus five percent (5%), and thereafter shall be equal to the Service Providers actual direct cost to provide the Additional Services, plus ten percent (10%); and (y) document the terms of such Additional Services in an addendum to the applicable Services Schedule.
2.1.4 Scope of Services. For the avoidance of doubt, when used in this Agreement, reference to Services as between a given Service Provider and Service Recipient shall include all of the services set forth on the applicable Services Schedule (including in any addenda thereto). All of the Services shall be for the sole use and benefit of the Service Recipient.
2.2 Performance Standards. The Service Provider shall perform the Services in a commercially reasonable manner (including as to timing, efficiency and workmanship) and in accordance with the standards, specifications and service levels and the acceptance criteria, if any, set forth in the applicable Services Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Services shall be provided at the same general level of service, with the same degree of care, with response times and in a manner as would reasonably and ordinarily be expected from a Person complying with applicable Law engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar circumstances and conditions, unless a higher standard for any particular Service is required by the applicable Services Schedule. The Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that in rendering Services hereunder, the Service Provider may be using and relying upon, without any independent investigation or verification thereof, information that is or will be furnished to the Service Provider by or on behalf of the Service Recipient, and the Service Provider will not in any respect be responsible for the accuracy or
4
completeness of any of the foregoing kinds of information, except as otherwise set forth in the Services Schedules. To the extent the Service Recipient shall provide any instruction with respect to the performance of a particular Service in writing to the Service Provider, the Service Provider shall be entitled to rely on such written instruction without liability hereunder to the extent directly arising or resulting from its performance of such Service in accordance with such instruction, except in the case of the Service Providers (or its Subcontractors) gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
2.3 Expansion of Services; Service Conflicts. Except as expressly provided herein, the Service Provider shall not be required to provide any Service (a) to the extent such Service was not provided in support of the SpinCo Business or the Citrix Business, as applicable, pursuant to Recent Historical Practice, or (b) at a level, volume or frequency greater than the level, volume or frequency of such Service as used by the SpinCo Business or the Citrix Business, as applicable, pursuant to Recent Historical Practice. If the Service Recipient requests that any Service be provided at a greater level, volume or frequency than the level, volume or frequency of such Service (or analogous services) as used by the SpinCo Business or the Citrix Business, as applicable, pursuant to Recent Historical Practice, and such requested greater level, volume or frequency results from the Service Recipients operation of its business in the ordinary course and not from any acquisition, purchase, merger or other business combination by the Service Recipient, then the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Service at such greater level, volume or frequency, except (i) to the extent that the Service Provider does not have adequate resources to provide such Service at such greater level, volume or frequency or (ii) if the provision of such Service at such greater level, volume or frequency would, in the Service Providers reasonable determination, unduly burden or disrupt the operation of the Service Providers business. The Fees for any Service shall be adjusted upward solely to the extent of the amount that the Service Providers actual direct cost of providing such Service at any greater level, volume or frequency increases. If there is a conflict between the immediate needs of Parties as to the use of or access to a particular Service, which conflict cannot reasonably be avoided, the Service Provider shall, in its reasonable discretion, establish reasonable priorities as between the Parties, provided that such priorities do not unduly burden or disrupt the operation of the Service Recipients business. The Service Provider shall provide notice to the Service Recipient as promptly as reasonably practicable prior to the establishment of such priorities.
2.4 Temporary Suspension; Modification or Termination of Services. The Service Provider shall have the right from time to time to shut down or temporarily suspend the operation of any systems or facilities necessary for the provision of any Service for modification, upgrade, maintenance or replacement or for legal, compliance or security purposes, whenever in its reasonable judgment such action is necessary, and shall be relieved of its obligations to provide Services during such shut-down or suspension. The Service Provider shall provide advance notice of any such scheduled shut-downs or suspensions and use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any other shut-down or suspension, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to the operation of the SpinCo Business or the Citrix Business, as applicable, in connection with any such shut-down or suspension.
5
2.5 Significant Service or System Changes. The Service Provider shall have the right, at its expense, to upgrade or replace its systems through which Services are provided to the Service Recipient as part of any upgrade or replacement made generally to the Service Providers shared systems. The Service Provider shall notify the Service Recipient in writing reasonably in advance of any such upgrade or replacement (other than routine software upgrades). In the event the Service Provider determines to upgrade or replace any of its systems through which Services are provided to the Service Recipient hereunder, then, any additional or incremental costs or expenses shall be borne by the Service Provider, including costs and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with such upgrade or replacement as a result of the need to purchase additional capacity to accommodate the SpinCo Business or the Citrix Business, as applicable, incremental license or similar fees required to be paid to Third Parties or installation of security hardware and software items necessary to enable the Service Provider to use such systems to provide Services to the Service Recipient hereunder.
2.6 Compliance with Laws. The Service Provider shall not be required to provide Services which violate any applicable Laws in connection with its performance of the Services.
2.7 Acknowledgment and Agreement. The Service Recipient acknowledges that the Services provided hereunder are transitional in nature and are furnished by the Service Provider solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement and the Merger Agreement. The Service Recipient acknowledges that the Service Provider is not in the business of providing the Services to Third Parties and that neither Party has any long-term interest in the Service Provider continuing the provision of any or all of the Services. The Service Recipient shall: (a) promptly (and in any event within sixty (60) days) following the Effective Date, provide to the Service Provider a plan and timeline, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Service Provider, for the migration to the Service Recipient or Third Party suppliers of each of the Services, and (b) as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, migrate the provision of each Service from the Service Provider to the Service Recipient or a Third Party supplier. Nothing in this Section 2.7 shall be deemed to extend any Service Termination Date in any manner.
2.8 Limitations on Services. The Service Recipient acknowledges that the Service Provider is agreeing to provide Services in order to facilitate the Service Recipients operation of the SpinCo Business or the Citrix Business, as applicable, as described in the Separation Agreement and the Merger Agreement and as otherwise provided herein. The Service Provider shall not be required to expand its facilities or maintain the employment of any specific Persons in order to provide the Services to the Service Recipient, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Service Provider shall not be required to incur any capital expenditures or employ additional personnel in order to provide the Services to the Service Recipient.
2.9 Subcontractors. The Service Provider may use contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other Third Parties (collectively, Subcontractors) to provide some or all of the Services, provided that the Service Provider (a) shall use reasonable care in selecting any such Subcontractors to perform Services hereunder, (b) shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of the use of any Subcontractors, (c) shall remain liable and responsible for the acts and omissions of its Subcontractors in providing, or failing to provide, the Services under this Agreement, (d) shall specify in the Services Schedules which Services will be subcontracted and (e) shall comply with the terms and conditions of Schedule 2.9 attached hereto.
6
2.10 Supervision and Compensation of Personnel. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Service Provider shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, select, employ, supervise and direct all of its personnel providing the Services hereunder and shall be solely responsible for the payment of all wages, bonuses, commissions, benefits (including employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements) and any other direct and indirect compensation for its personnel assigned to perform the Services under this Agreement, including workers compensation insurance, employment taxes and other employer liabilities relating to such personnel as required by Law to be provided or otherwise provided by the Service Provider and its Affiliates. The Service Provider shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, be independent contractors with respect to the Service Recipient in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder and none of the Service Providers or its Affiliates employees performing services in connection therewith shall be deemed employees of the Service Recipient.
ARTICLE 3

With respect to any Required Consents not obtained prior to the date of this Agreement, from and after the date hereof, the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Required Consents, and the Service Recipient shall provide such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by the Service Provider in connection with its efforts to obtain any such Required Consents; provided, that the Parties shall bear equally any costs and expenses incurred in connection with seeking or obtaining any Required Consents.

In connection with the performance of the Services hereunder, either Party may have access to or use of certain Intellectual Property disclosed or licensed by Third Parties to the other Party or its Affiliates that is not Licensed IP (as defined in the IP License Agreement) (Third Party Intellectual Property), as well as certain Intellectual Property owned by the other Party that is not Licensed IP (Other Intellectual Property). To the extent necessary or appropriate to protect any such Third Party Intellectual Property or Other Intellectual Property, the Service Recipient shall enter into non-disclosure agreements with Third Parties or take other reasonable actions (at the Service Providers expense) with respect to such Third Party Intellectual Property or Other Intellectual Property as may be reasonably requested by the Service Provider (with respect to the Other Intellectual Property) or such Third Parties (with respect to the Third Party Intellectual Property) from time to time.

Without limiting the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Service Recipient shall not have any rights in or access to, and the Service Provider shall ensure that no copies are provided to the Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates of, any source code with respect to any Third Party Intellectual Property or Other Intellectual Property. The Service Recipient shall not, through reverse engineering or any other means, attempt to access any such source code and shall use the Third Party Intellectual Property and the Other Intellectual Property only for its intended use hereunder.

The Service Provider, in its sole discretion, may limit access to and the right to use software in connection with the Services solely to those employees of the Service Recipient who need such access and right to use in connection with the provision of the Services. Citrix, in its capacity as the Service Provider, shall also grant access to and the right to use software in connection with the Services to employees of LogMeIn who need such access, provided that SpinCo shall be responsible for any breaches of this ARTICLE 5 by any employee of LogMeIn.
5.2 Data. The Service Provider is authorized to have access to and make use of all data provided by the Service Recipient or created by the Service Provider solely on behalf of the Service Recipient after the Effective Date (New Data), as necessary and appropriate for the performance by the Service Provider of its obligations under this Agreement. The Service Provider may not use any New Data for any purpose other than providing the Services.

5.3 System Security.
5.3.1 Security Policy. The Service Recipient shall comply with all of the Service Providers system security policies, procedures and requirements relating to the Service Providers computer systems or software (Systems) which have been provided in writing to the Service Recipient (collectively, Security Regulations), and shall not tamper with, compromise or circumvent any security or audit measures employed by the Service Provider. The Service Recipient shall access and use only those Systems of the Service Provider for which the Service Recipient has been expressly granted the right to access and use.
5.3.2 Personnel Access. The Service Recipient shall limit access to the Systems to those personnel who are specifically authorized to have such access, and to prevent unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of information contained therein. The Service Recipient shall notify its own personnel of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.3.2 and of the Security Regulations.
5.3.3 Unauthorized Access. If, at any time, the Service Recipient determines that any of its personnel have sought to circumvent, or have circumvented, the Security Regulations, that any unauthorized personnel have accessed the Systems or that any of its personnel have engaged in activities that may lead to the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of data, information or software, the Service Recipient shall promptly terminate such personnels access to the Systems and promptly notify the Service Provider. In addition, the Service Provider shall have the right to deny personnel of the Service Recipient access to its Systems upon notice to the Service Recipient (with such notice given, in any event, within one business day of such termination) in the event that the Service Provider reasonably believes that such personnel have engaged in any of the activities set forth above in this Section 5.3.3 or otherwise pose a security concern. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to the Systems.
ARTICLE 6
FEES AND PAYMENT
6.1 Fees. The fees for each of the Services (the Fees) are as set forth in the Services Schedules and shall, during the first six (6) months after the Effective Date, be equal to the Service Providers actual direct cost to provide the Services, plus five percent (5%), and thereafter shall be equal to the Service Providers actual direct cost to provide the Services, plus ten percent (10%). All Fees are exclusive of any applicable Service Taxes (as defined below) (which shall be paid by the Service Recipient in accordance with Section 6.5). Either Party, in its capacity as the Service Recipient, may apply an offset against Fees solely for monies owed by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement.
6.2 Expenses. Unless otherwise expressly set forth on the applicable Services Schedule, the Fees are exclusive of expenses related to travel (including long-distance and local transportation, accommodation and meal expenses and other incidental expenses) by the Service Providers personnel or any Subcontractor in connection with performing the Services. All of the costs and expenses described in this Section 6.2 (Expenses) shall be charged by the
11
Service Provider to the Service Recipient on a straight pass-through basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Expenses described in this Section 6.2 shall be consistent with the Service Providers general approach with respect to such types of costs and expenses; provided, that with respect to any Service, the Service Recipients prior written approval shall be required to the extent that Expenses exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Fees paid and payable to the Service Provider for such Service in any month.
6.3 Payment and Invoices. The Service Provider shall invoice the Service Recipient for all Fees and Expenses, in each case in arrears on a monthly basis. The Service Provider shall include with each invoice a reasonably detailed description of the Services performed, the Fees and Expenses charged, any Service Taxes collected, and available reasonable supporting documentation with respect to the foregoing including copies of any invoices of Subcontractors with respect to the Services performed. The Service Recipient shall pay each undisputed invoice within the United States and in immediately available funds, in each case within forty five (45) days after receipt. Any payments owing to the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement that are not paid within forty five (45) days after receipt of the applicable invoice shall bear interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum (or such lesser amount as shall be the maximum amount permitted by Law) from the due date until paid; provided, that the Service Recipient shall not be in default of this Agreement for failing to pay all or any portion of an invoice within forty five (45) days of receipt of such invoice if the Service Recipient reasonably disputes the unpaid portion of such invoice in accordance with Section 6.4.
6.4 Billing Disputes. In the event that the Service Recipient disputes any invoice, the Service Recipient shall provide written notice of such dispute and the basis therefor to the Service Provider and pay the undisputed portion, if any, as provided in Section 6.3. If there is a disputed amount, the Parties shall, in good faith, seek to resolve such dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 4.4. The Service Recipient shall pay the Service Provider the unpaid portion then owed under any invoice promptly upon resolution of the dispute or completion of the dispute resolution procedures provided for herein.
6.5 Service Taxes; Withholding.
6.5.1 In addition to the amounts described in Section 6.1, the Service Recipient shall pay, and hold the Service Provider harmless against, any sales, use, value added, transfer, service, service use, and other similar Taxes, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any income, franchise or similar Taxes (Service Taxes) applicable to the provision of the Services. The Service Provider shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, collect from the Service Recipient and remit any such Service Taxes to the extent required to do so by applicable Law.
6.5.2 The Service Provider shall cooperate with the Service Recipient and take any reasonably requested action in order to minimize any Service Taxes imposed on the sale of the Services provided by the Service Provider, including timely providing resale or other applicable Tax exemption certificates or other documentation necessary to support Tax exemptions. If the Service Provider (or any of its Affiliates) receives a refund of Service Taxes paid by the Service Recipient, it shall remit to the Service Recipient, within 30 days, the amount of such refund net of any Taxes incurred by the Service Provider (or any of its Affiliates) in connection with such refund. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party such information and
12
data as reasonably requested from time to time, and to fully cooperate with the other Party, in connection with (a) the reporting of any Service Taxes payable pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any audit relating to any such Service Taxes, or (c) any assessment, refund, claim or proceeding relating to any such Service Taxes.
6.5.3 The Service Recipient or any applicable Affiliate of the Service Recipient, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment under applicable Law, and such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made; provided, however, that the Service Recipient shall reasonably cooperate with the Service Provider in obtaining any available exemption from or reduction of such withholding. The Service Recipient shall provide the Service Provider with reasonable evidence of payment to, or receipts from, the relevant Governmental Authority, if available, evidencing the payment of such Taxes.
6.6 Audits. During the Service Performance Period and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, the Service Provider shall keep and maintain materially complete and accurate records of any costs that it is entitled to charge to the Service Recipient hereunder, and shall allow, at the Service Recipients sole expense, a mutually agreed independent auditor, during business hours and no more than once, to inspect and make extracts or copies of such records solely for the purpose of ascertaining the correctness of such statements. If any such examination and audit shall disclose any overcharges or overpayment of ten per cent (10%) or more, the Service Provider shall (a) promptly refund to the Service Recipient the amount of any such overcharges or overpayment, and (b) pay the costs of such audit.
ARTICLE 7
FORCE MAJEURE
7.1 Force Majeure. Provided the Service Provider has in place commercially reasonable disaster recovery and business continuity measures intended to mitigate the effects of any of the following events, the Service Provider shall be excused from performing any Services in the event that war (whether declared or not), fire, explosion, earthquake, storm, flood, strike, riot, act of governmental authority, act of God, act of terror or sabotage, technology disruption to the extent beyond the reasonable control of the Service Provider or other contingency beyond the reasonable control of the Service Provider, or any failure of a Third Party to provide services necessary for the performance of the Services to the extent not caused by the Service Provider (each, a Force Majeure Event), causes cessation or interruption of the Service Providers performance of such Services, for the duration of such Force Majeure Event. If the Service Provider is unable to provide any Services as a result of a Force Majeure Event: (a) the Service Provider shall promptly notify the Service Recipient and describe in reasonable detail the circumstances causing the inability to perform; (b) the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance of its obligations hereunder with minimal delay; and (c) the Service Recipient shall be free to acquire such Services from an alternative source, at the Service Recipients sole cost and expense, and without liability to the Service Provider, for the period and to the extent reasonably necessitated by such non-performance. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service Recipient shall not be obligated to pay the Service Provider for Services with respect to the period during which such Services are not provided due to a Force Majeure Event.
13
ARTICLE 8
TERM AND TERMINATION
8.1 Term.
8.1.1 Term of Services. The Service Provider shall provide each of the Services beginning on the Service Commencement Date for such Service set forth in the Services Schedule and continuing until the Service Termination Date for such Service set forth in the Services Schedule, unless extended or sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The period commencing on the first to occur of the Service Commencement Dates and ending on the last to expire or terminate of the Service Termination Dates is hereinafter referred to as the Service Performance Period.
8.1.2 Extension of Service Termination Date. The Service Recipient may request an extension of the Service Termination Date applicable to any Service by delivering a written request to the Service Provider not less than sixty (60) days prior to the applicable Service Termination Date; provided, however, that a Service Termination Date may only be extended pursuant to this Section 8.1.2 (a) if such extension would not result in any Liabilities payable by, attributable to or the responsibility of the Service Provider or (b) in the event such extension would result in Liabilities payable by, attributable to or the responsibility of the Service Provider, the Service Recipient shall have expressly agreed in writing to fully reimburse and indemnify the Service Provider with respect to such Liabilities. The Service Provider shall consider in good faith any request for the extension of a Service Termination Date pursuant to this Section 8.1.2. If the Service Provider agrees, in its sole discretion, to such extension, the Parties shall (x) negotiate the terms of such extension, including the revised Service Termination Date, and (y) document the terms of such extension in an amendment to the applicable Services Schedule, and the Fees payable by the Service Recipient in respect of the applicable Service through such revised Service Termination Date shall be one hundred ten percent (110%) of the amount of the Fees payable in respect of the applicable Service during the period immediately preceding such extension
8.2 Termination.
8.2.1 Early Termination of Services. The Service Recipient may terminate any Service, in whole or in part, prior to the applicable Service Termination Date by delivering to the Service Provider advance written notice of such termination no later than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable Service Termination Date (unless the terms set forth in the applicable Services Schedule designate a longer advance notice period for termination of such Service, in which case the Service Recipient shall provide written notice in accordance with such terms). In the event of any such termination of any Service, in whole or in part, the Fees payable by the Service Recipient for such Service will be reduced to reflect the terminated Service or the portion thereof that is terminated, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination of any Service shall relieve the Service Recipient of any of its obligations hereunder to pay the Service Provider all applicable Fees and Expenses incurred prior to such termination.
14
8.2.2 Termination for Breach. If either Party materially breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party, then the non-breaching Party may, at its option, terminate all, but not less than all, of the Services in the affected line of Services, or all Services in their entirety, by providing written notice of termination to the breaching Party, which termination shall be effective immediately or as of such later date as may be specified in the notice of termination.
8.2.3 Bankruptcy Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice if the other Party is declared insolvent or bankrupt, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver is appointed or any proceeding is demanded by, for or against the other under any provision of the federal bankruptcy Laws. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2.3 shall be without prejudice to any rights or obligations of the Parties accruing prior to such termination, including the right to payment of unpaid amounts owing for Services performed prior to termination.
8.2.4 General Termination. If not earlier terminated, this Agreement shall terminate on the expiration or termination of the last Service performed hereunder, and thereafter all rights and obligations hereunder shall be terminated, except for the payment by the Service Recipient of any Fees, Expenses and other costs due and payable hereunder, and except as otherwise provided in Section 10.3.
8.3 Obligations on Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with the termination of any Service or Services in accordance with this Section 8.3, (a) the Fees payable by the Service Recipient for such Service(s) will be reduced to reflect the terminated Service(s) or the portion thereof that is terminated, as the case may be; and (b) the Service Recipient shall pay to the Service Provider, within thirty (30) days following such termination, all Fees and Expenses payable pursuant to ARTICLE 6 through the date of such termination. In the event any Service is terminated prior to the applicable Service Termination Date, the Service Recipient shall be liable to the Service Provider for actual non-cancellable costs incurred by the Service Provider resulting from such termination, including any cancellation or similar costs payable to Third Parties by the Service Provider.
ARTICLE 9
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICE PROVIDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE), WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
15
9.2 Cap on Direct Damages. Except for a Partys breach of its confidentiality obligations or such Partys fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, under no circumstances shall the aggregate liability of such Party, its Affiliates and any of their respective representatives under this Agreement exceed the amount of fees paid and payable to it as Service Provider by the other Party as Service Recipient under the Agreement during the six (6) month period following the Effective Date.

EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ON BEHALF OF ITSELF, ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES.
9.4 Indemnification.
9.4.1 By Service Provider. Without limiting the rights of the Service Recipient under any other Transaction Agreement, the Service Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless the Service Recipient, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners, principals, employees and agents (together with their respective successors and permitted assigns) from and against any and all assessments, losses, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, judgments, awards, fines, sanctions, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement, including reasonable costs, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other agents or representatives of any of them (collectively, Damages) arising or resulting from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Service Provider or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of their obligations under this Agreement.

If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Claim within thirty (30) days after notice of any such Claim, or such shorter period as is reasonably required under the circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk, and at the expense, of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof. Notice of any Claim shall be given promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the Claim, but no delay in giving such notice shall affect the Indemnified Partys right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Partys ability to defend or settle such Claim is actually prejudiced by such delay.

9.4.4 For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this ARTICLE 9 shall be deemed to eliminate or limit, in any respect, the Service Recipients obligations hereunder to make payment for any Fees, Expenses or other costs.
ARTICLE 10

10.2 Relationship of the Parties.
