Item 2.01     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On July 9, 2015, EMC Corporation (“EMC”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Virtustream Group Holdings, Inc. (“Virtustream”) pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among EMC, Embrace Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of EMC (“Merger Sub”), Virtustream and the Stockholder Representative listed therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Virtustream, with Virtustream continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the merger, Virtustream became a wholly owned subsidiary of EMC.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Virtustream capital stock and each vested option of Virtustream outstanding at the closing of the merger was converted into a right to receive a per share cash payment. Nonvested equity of Virtustream was assumed by EMC and converted into the right to receive nonvested equity of EMC, in each case subject to the same vesting schedule and restrictions as applied prior to the merger.

The total merger consideration was approximately $1.2 billion in cash, a portion of which was deposited in escrow to cover indemnification claims under the Merger Agreement for a period of 15 months following the completion of the merger, subject to extension for any unresolved indemnification claims.

The foregoing description of the merger is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms; however, it is not intended to provide any other factual information about Virtustream or EMC. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of each of Virtustream and EMC as of specified dates that are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules delivered in connection with signing the Merger Agreement. The assertions embodied in these representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating its terms. Moreover, certain representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that is different from certain standards generally applicable to stockholders or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts at the time they were made or otherwise.

Item 8.01     Other Events.

On July 9, 2015, EMC issued a press release announcing the completion of the acquisition of Virtustream Group Holdings, Inc., a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Immediately following the Effective Time, Parent, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders, shall deliver or cause to be delivered cash in an amount equal to the Escrow Amount plus the Representative Fund to SunTrust Bank, a Georgia banking corporation as depository agent for use by Acquiom Clearinghouse LLC, as escrow administrator (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to the provisions of the escrow agreement in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto, subject to any amendments to such form requested by the Escrow Agent and mutually agreed to by Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Company (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Agreement shall be entered into at the Closing, by and among Parent, the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders and the Escrow Agent, and shall provide Parent with recourse against amounts held in escrow by the Escrow Agent (excluding, in all instances, however, the Representative Fund) with respect to the Indemnifying Stockholders’ indemnification obligations under SECTION 15, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement and in SECTION 15 of this Agreement (the “Escrow Fund”). The Escrow Amount (or any portion thereof) shall be distributed to the Indemnifying Stockholders and Parent at the times, and upon the terms and conditions, set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are specific terms of the Merger, and the approval and adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Indemnifying Stockholders, the Stockholder Written Consents and the Joinder Agreements shall constitute approval by such Indemnifying Stockholders, as specific terms of the Merger, and the irrevocable agreement of such Indemnifying Stockholders to be bound by and comply with, the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto, including, the deposit of the Escrow Amount into escrow, the indemnification obligations set forth in SECTION 15 hereof and the appointment and sole authority to act on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders of the Stockholder Representative, as provided for herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

3.6    Representative Fund. Immediately following the Effective Time, cash in an amount equal to the Representative Fund shall be delivered by Parent, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders, to the depository agent to be held and distributed pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Representative Fund shall be a portion of the aggregate consideration to be received by the Indemnifying Stockholders pursuant to the Merger. The Representative Fund shall be used by the Stockholder Representative solely for payment of out-of-pocket expenses, in each instance incurred by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the performance of the Stockholder Representative’s duties and obligations hereunder and pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The Representative Fund shall be available to the Stockholder Representative in addition to any amounts paid to the Stockholder Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall (i) any Parent Indemnified Party have any rights in or to the Representative Fund or (ii) the Company (following the Closing), Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation have any obligation or incur any expense with respect to the Representative Fund or pay or otherwise be liable for any amounts owed to or incurred by the Stockholder Representative. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation shall have any responsibility or liability for the manner in which the Stockholder Representative uses the amount reserved for the Representative Fund. For Tax purposes, the Representative Fund shall be treated as having been received and then set aside by the Indemnifying Stockholders immediately following the Effective Time; provided, however, that to the extent practicable, any withholding in respect of the Representative Fund shall be satisfied from other sources owing to the Indemnifying Stockholders at the Effective Time. The Representative Fund, if any, shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Stockholder Representative to the Indemnifying Stockholders at the time, and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

(a)    Payments Administrator.

(i)    Immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with SunTrust Bank, a Georgia banking corporation as depository agent for use by Acquiom Clearinghouse LLC, as payments administrator (the “Payments Administrator”), for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock (other than holders of Nonvested Option Stock), holders of Company Preferred Stock, and the Warrant Holders, cash in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Total Stock Closing Payments plus the aggregate amount of all Warrant Closing Payments plus the aggregate amount of all Nonvested Cash. Such funds shall be invested as directed by Parent pending payment thereof by the Payments Administrator to the Company Stockholders, provided that, such investment shall be limited to a demand deposit account or a Federated Treasury Obligation Fund with the depository agent. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of the Company Securityholders.

(ii)    Prior to the Effective Time and in accordance with the requirements of the Payments Administrator, the parties hereto agree that the Company will deliver a revised version of the Final Securityholder Schedule to the Payments Administrator to facilitate the payment of the Total Stock Closing Payments to the holders of Company Common Stock and the holders of Company Preferred Stock, and the Warrant Closing Payments to the Warrant Holders, and the

23



Nonvested Cash payment to the former holders of Nonvested Stock, as the case may be (the “Payments Schedule”).

(b)    Surrender Procedures.

(i)    As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but no later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, Parent shall instruct the Payments Administrator to deliver to each Company Stockholder as of the Effective Time (i) the Company Stockholder Letter of Transmittal and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of certificate(s) representing all of the shares of Company Stock held by such Company Stockholder. The payment to a Company Stockholder of the Stock Closing Payment (less the applicable portion of Stockholder Debt of the Company Stockholder to be netted therefrom) with respect to each share of Company Stock underlying each such certificate is conditioned upon (A) the execution and delivery of the Company Stockholder Letter of Transmittal and (B) the delivery of such certificates related thereto (the “Required Documentation”). The issuance of Converted Nonvested Option Stock to holders of Nonvested Option Stock in accordance with Section 3.1(b)(iii) and the issuance of Nonvested Cash to holders of Nonvested Stock in accordance with Section 3.1(c) is conditioned upon the delivery to the Payments Administrator of any certificates representing shares of Nonvested Option Stock and Nonvested Stock, as applicable. As soon as practicable after receipt by the Payments Administrator, and in any event within three (3) Business Days following receipt, of certificate(s), properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and cancellation, together with such duly completed and validly executed Company Stockholder Letter of Transmittal, the Payments Administrator shall, in exchange therefor, pay to such Company Stockholder the Stock Closing Payment (less the applicable portion of Stockholder Debt of such Company Stockholder to be netted therefrom) payable in respect of the shares of Company Stock formerly represented by the certificate(s) surrendered (which payment, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any payment in respect of shares of Nonvested Option Stock and shares of Nonvested Stock represented by such surrendered certificates, which stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iii) and Section 3.1(c), as applicable), but without interest and less any applicable withholding Taxes, and the certificate(s) so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled (including with respect to all shares of Nonvested Option Stock assumed by Parent and converted pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iii) and all shares of Nonvested Stock converted pursuant to Section 3.1(c) represented by such certificates); provided, that the Payments Administrator shall pay the Stock Closing Payments (less the applicable portion of Stockholder Debt of such Company Stockholder to be netted therefrom) within one (1) Business Day following the Closing Date to each Company Stockholder that provides the Required Documentation with respect to such Company Stockholder’s Company Securities at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing, but only in the event the Payments Administrator is provided (1) the name, address, email address, stock certificate numbers and share amounts at least seven (7) days prior to the Closing, (2) the Payments Schedule at least one (1) day prior to the Closing and the amounts deliverable to the Payments Administrator pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(i) are received by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Closing Date. If payment of any portion of the applicable Stock Closing Payment (less the applicable portion of Stockholder Debt of such Company Stockholder to be netted therefrom) is to be made to an individual, firm, entity, partnership, association or any business organization or division thereof (each a “Person”) other than the Person in whose name the surrendered certificate(s) are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment (x) shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of those amounts to a Person other than the registered holder of the certificate(s) surrendered, and shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid, or (y) shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax is not applicable. From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.7(b), each certificate formerly representing shares of Company Stock shall be deemed to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable consideration as provided pursuant to Sections 3.1(b)(i), 3.1(b)(iii)

24



and 3.1(c), if any, in respect of such shares of Company Stock formerly represented thereby in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein or Dissenting Shares as provided in Section 3.2.

(ii)    As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but no later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, Parent shall instruct the Payments Administrator to deliver to each Warrant Holder a payment election form and any applicable Tax forms.  As soon as practicable after receipt by the Payments Administrator of a completed executed payment election form and any applicable Tax forms from such Warrant Holder, the Payments Administrator shall, in exchange therefor, pay to such Warrant Holder the Warrant Closing Payment payable in respect of the Warrant(s) held by the Warrant Holder prior to the Effective Time, but without interest and less any applicable withholding Taxes.  If payment of any portion of the applicable Warrant Closing Payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the terminated Warrant(s) are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment (x) shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of those amounts to a Person other than the registered holder of the Warrant(s) terminated, and shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid, or (y) shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax is not applicable.  From and after the Effective Time, until terminated, each Warrant shall be deemed to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable consideration as provided pursuant to Section 3.4.

(c)    Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in the Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Company Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates formerly evidencing ownership of the shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Legal Requirements. After the Effective Time, the Payments Administrator shall cancel and exchange, as provided in this SECTION 3, any presented certificate representing shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d)    No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payments Administrator shall be liable to any holder of a certificate formerly representing shares of Company Stock or a warrant for shares of Company Stock for any amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement.

(e)    Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Payments Administrator shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from payment of the Total Stock Closing Payment or the Warrant Closing Payment or any other amounts (or any portion thereof) payable pursuant to this Agreement to, or on behalf of, any Company Securityholder, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from payment of any amounts (or any portion thereof) otherwise payable pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to any Company Securityholder, such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other Tax Law. In addition, the aforementioned right to deduct and withhold Taxes shall be permitted with respect to Taxes required to be withheld in respect of the vesting of Vested Stock and Vested Option Stock to the extent the Company has not previously withheld and deposited such Taxes at the time of vesting. If Parent or the Payments Administrator determines that withholding is required on any payments to a Company Securityholder made with respect to Company Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(b), Parent or the Payments Administrator, as applicable, shall notify and consult with the Stockholder Representative prior to making such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Payments Administrator or the Escrow Agent, such withheld amounts shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority and, to the extent so remitted, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the

25



Company Securityholder to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. The Company shall cause each Company Securityholder, to the extent it, he or she is legally entitled to do so, to deliver to Parent all forms prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements necessary to reduce or eliminate any withholding Tax obligation in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

(f)    Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificate(s) which formerly represented shares of Company Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the Company Stockholder thereof in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, Parent shall instruct the Payments Administrator to pay such Company Stockholder the applicable Stock Closing Payment (less the applicable portion of Stockholder Debt of such Company Stockholder to be netted therefrom) or Parent shall issue the Converted Nonvested Option Stock or cause to be paid the Nonvested Cash to such Company Stockholder, as applicable, as provided in this SECTION 3; provided, however, that Parent or the Payments Administrator may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to issuing any such instruction to the Payments Administrator or making any issuance of Converted Nonvested Option Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s) to deliver an agreement of indemnification in a customary form reasonably satisfactory to Parent against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payments Administrator with respect to the certificate(s) alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(g)    Dissenting Shares. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall also apply to Dissenting Shares that lose their status as such, except that the obligations of Parent under this Section 3.7 shall commence on the date of loss of such status and the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such shares the applicable amounts provided in this SECTION 3.

3.8    Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Parent determines any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are hereby authorized in the name of the Company and Merger Sub or otherwise to take, and shall take, all such action.

(a)    Confidentiality. The Company and the Stockholder Representative shall, and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause each Company Securityholder that has executed and delivered the Stockholder Written Consent, the Joinder Agreement or a Warrant Termination Instrument, and each of their respective legal, financial, accounting and other representatives to, (i) treat and hold any Confidential Information as confidential and (ii) refrain from disclosing all Confidential Information to any third party (other than their legal, financial, accounting or other representatives that have a need to know and who are subject to a confidentiality obligation to the disclosing party or the Stockholder Representative). In the event that such Company Securityholder or the Stockholder Representative is requested or required to disclose any Confidential Information in connection with an Action, such Company Securityholder or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, will notify Parent promptly of the request or requirement so that Parent may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.2(a). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Company Securityholder or the Stockholder Representative is legally required to disclose any Confidential Information, such Company Securityholder or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent so required (but only to the extent so required); provided, however, that such Company Securityholder or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, shall permit, to the maximum extent possible, Parent to seek, prior to any such disclosure, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the

59



Confidential Information required to be disclosed. Such Company Securityholder and the Stockholder Representative will cooperate with Parent in seeking such treatment at Parent’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Company Securityholders and the Stockholder Representative, and their respective legal, financial, accounting or other representatives, may use and/or disclose that portion of Confidential Information included as part of subsection (b) of the definition thereof (a) as and to the extent disclosure is required by such Person to his, her or its Tax or financial advisors for purposes of complying with such Person’s Tax obligations or other reporting obligations under Legal Requirements arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) to his, her or its legal counsel or accountants, (c) to the extent disclosure is made by such Person that is an investment fund to its current or prospective partners, members or stockholders, and is limited to the results of such Person’s investment in the Company and such other information as is required to be disclosed by such Person pursuant to its partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or comparable organizational agreement, subject in each of the foregoing cases set forth in subsections (a) through (c) to a duty or agreement of confidentiality, and (d) to the Stockholder Representative. In addition, the Stockholder Representative is permitted to share Confidential Information with the Company Securityholders and its employees, advisors or consultants (in each case who have a need to know such information), provided that such persons either (A) agree to observe the terms of this Section 7.2(a) or (B) are bound by obligations of confidentiality to the Stockholder Representative of at least as high a standard as those imposed on the Stockholder Representative under this Section 7.2(a). The Company is permitted to share Confidential Information included as part of subsection (a) of the definition thereof of the sort typically disclosed in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and provided that the Company obtains obligations of confidentiality with respect thereto from the recipient of any such information prior to disclosure.

In addition, any information obtained from the Company pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.2(b) shall constitute “Confidential Information” under the Non-Disclosure Agreement between Parent and the Company, dated May 1, 2015 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(c)    From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall afford the Stockholder Representative and its accountants and legal counsel, upon reasonable notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to make inspection of the pre-Closing books and records of the Surviving Corporation (subject to the execution of any customary access letters) to allow the Stockholder Representative and its accountants and legal counsel to obtain information in the Surviving Corporation’s possession to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the Stockholder Representative to perform its duties under this Agreement or to comply with applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that Parent or the Surviving Corporation may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that in its good faith judgment (after consultation with legal counsel) any applicable Legal Requirements or Contract requires Parent or the Surviving Corporation to restrict or prohibit access to any such books or records or would reasonably be expected to violate or compromise any attorney-client privilege of Parent,

60



the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Any information obtained by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.2(c) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(a).

7.5    Advise of Changes. During the Pre-Closing Period, Parent and the Company shall promptly advise the other party in writing to the extent it has knowledge of (a) any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure by it (and, in the case of Parent, by Merger Sub) to comply in any material respect with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement prior to or at the

62



Effective Time, (b) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (c) with respect to the Company only, any Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that no such notification will be deemed to prevent or cure any breach of, or inaccuracy in, amend or supplement any Section of the Disclosure Schedule, or otherwise disclose an exception to, or affect in any manner, the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties or the Indemnifying Stockholders under this Agreement.

From the Closing Date until December 31, 2015, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Employees who are employed by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time base salaries and cash incentive compensation opportunities that are at least equal to those provided to such Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, that in no event shall this sentence limit the ability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to make reductions to the base salaries or cash incentive compensation

63



opportunities of such Employees in connection with an across-the board reduction of compensation applied to all similarly situated employees of Parent and/or one of its Subsidiaries. With respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy or arrangement maintained by Parent in which current Employees subsequently participate, for purposes of determining eligibility, vesting and entitlement to benefits, including for severance benefits and vacation entitlement, service with the Company or a Company Subsidiary (or predecessor employers to the extent the Company provides past service credit) shall be treated as service with Parent; provided that, such service shall not be recognized for purpose of accruals of benefits or to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or to the extent that such service was not recognized under the applicable Company Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon any Employee any right with respect to continuance of employment by or other service with the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the right of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent to terminate or change any Employee’s or Service Provider’s employment or other association, compensation or benefits at any time, or require the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary to continue the employment or services of any Employee or Service Provider following the Effective Time and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an amendment of, or interfere in any way with, the right of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary to amend, terminate or otherwise discontinue any or all plans, practices or policies of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any Subsidiary in effect from time to time.

Any such notice of an Acquisition Proposal shall include the name of the proposed purchaser, the dollar amount, if any, of the purchase price of the Acquisition Proposal, its composition (i.e., cash, securities, etc.), any material contingencies (e.g., earn-out or other conditions) and any other material terms and provisions thereof.

72



contrary (i) the provisions set forth in Sections 1.1, 1.3, 7.2(a), the last sentence of 7.2(b), 7.2(d), 7.3, this Section 13.2, SECTION 14 and SECTION 19, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for fraud or willful misrepresentation or intentional breach of this Agreement or willful failure to fulfill any condition set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination.

73



(c)    any amount of Company Transaction Expenses, except to the extent that such Company Transaction Expenses have been included in the calculation of Closing Total Equity Consideration in the Final Securityholder Schedule;

(e)    any fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional breach of this Agreement by the Company or the Stockholder Representative;

(f)    any amount paid by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation to any Company Stockholder with respect to Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL in excess of the value such Person would have received in the Merger for such Dissenting Shares had such shares been converted pursuant to SECTION 3, and all interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by the Company, Parent or the Surviving Corporation in connection with the exercise of all dissenters’ rights under the DGCL;

(g)    any amounts that a Company Securityholder is entitled to receive in connection with the Merger pursuant to the Company Organizational Documents, the Warrants, any written or oral agreement with the Company or any other Legal Requirements in excess of the amount indicated on the Final Securityholder Schedule as the amount such Company Securityholder is entitled to receive in connection with the Merger or due to any inaccuracy therein;

(h)    any (i) Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to any Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and for the portion of any Straddle Period ending at the close of business on the Closing Date (determined as provided in Section 16.1) other than (A) as a result of any actions taken or elections made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates on the Closing Date, following the Closing, that are outside of the ordinary course of business, or (B) any Vested Option Employer Tax Obligation (ii) Transfer Taxes for which the Company Stockholders are responsible pursuant to Section 16.2, (iii) Tax of any predecessor entity of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, (iv) payment of any Tax under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) as a result of being a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group for any period beginning on or prior to the Closing Date (including any arrangement for group or consortium Tax relief or similar arrangement), (v) payment of any Tax with reference to the Tax liability of another Person in each case as a result of any obligation to indemnify any other Person or as a result of any obligation under any agreement or arrangement entered into on or prior to the Closing Date, (vi) any Taxes imposed on Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Corporation resulting from the Merger to the extent not withheld pursuant to Section 3.7(e) and (vii) amounts due in respect of all Reports of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (TD F 90-22.1), Foreign Bank Account Reports FinCEN 114, similar reports, and successor forms or reports to any of the foregoing (each an “FBAR Report”) required to be filed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any period beginning on or before the Closing Date, including, in the case of each of (i) through (vii), for the avoidance of doubt, all Damages associated with the investigation, review, remediation and resolution of any of the foregoing;

(i)    any claim or actions by Persons who are or were Company Securityholders, in their capacities as Company Securityholders, arising out of the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby); and

15.2    Remedy; Essential Terms.

(a)    Except for indemnification in respect of Parent Claims related to the Unlimited Claims, the aggregate amount of indemnification available to the Parent Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall be restricted to the amount of the Escrow Fund, which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent in respect of such Parent Claims; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of indemnification available to the Parent Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, the Joinder Agreements and the Stockholder Written Consents in respect of Parent Claims related to Section 4.19 (Intellectual Property) shall be limited to $200,000,000 (which amount will include any amounts paid to the Parent Indemnified Parties from the Escrow Amount if such amounts are solely in respect of Parent Claims related to Section 4.19). The liability of the Indemnifying Stockholders for indemnification hereunder shall be (x) joint and several to the extent of the Escrow Amount, and (y) thereafter, with respect to the Indemnifying Stockholders only, shall be several but not joint up to each Indemnifying Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of any indemnifiable Damage (which Pro Rata Portion in respect of this clause (y) shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be calculated in accordance with subsection (b) of the definition of Pro Rata Portion set forth in this Agreement). Except for indemnification in respect of Parent Claims related to fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional breach by an Indemnifying Stockholder, such Indemnifying Stockholder shall not be individually liable hereunder (and pursuant to any indemnification provided for in his, her or its Joinder Agreement and/or Stockholder Written Consent) for more than the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration or Warrant Closing Payment, as applicable, actually received by such Indemnifying Stockholder (including amounts deemed to have been received by such Indemnifying Stockholder from the Escrow Fund and the Representative Fund, if any, and any Stockholder Debt deducted from amounts that would have been paid to any Company Stockholder but for such Stockholder Debt under Section 3.1(e)). During the Escrow Period, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery first from the Escrow Fund for any Parent Claim. Following the Escrow Period, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery from the Participating Holders for any Parent Claim that is an Unlimited Claim in accordance with the terms and conditions and subject to the limitations of this SECTION 15. Any indemnification provided for in Section 7 of an Indemnifying Stockholder’s Joinder Agreement, other than indemnification with respect such Indemnifying Stockholder’s obligations under Section 15.1, shall be several and not joint, and no other Indemnifying Stockholder shall have any Liability for any breach. The limitation provided in Section 15.1(b) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification with respect to an Indemnifying Stockholder’s obligations under Section 7 of such Indemnifying Stockholder’s Joinder Agreement to the extent such indemnification is in respect of claims for breaches of representations and warranties of the Indemnifying Stockholder set forth in such Joinder Agreement or breaches of any obligations set forth in such Joinder Agreement, other than indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Stockholder under Section 15.1.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 15 to the contrary, the Parent Indemnified Parties may not recover Damages in respect of any Parent Claim unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds $500,000 (the “Basket”), after which, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Damages (including the amount of the Basket); provided, however, that any Parent Claim that is an Unlimited Claim shall not be subject to the Basket.

(c)    Nothing in this Section 15.2 shall limit any remedy Parent may have against any Person for fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional breach by such Person.

75



(d)    The terms and conditions of this SECTION 15 constitute essential terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger, and approval of this Agreement by the Company Securityholders shall constitute the express agreement of each Indemnifying Stockholder with respect to the obligations of Indemnifying Stockholders pursuant to this SECTION 15.

(e)    The amount of Damages recoverable by a Parent Indemnified Party under this SECTION 15 shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by any amounts actually recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred in procuring such recovery) by the Parent Indemnified Parties under third-party insurance policies (but for the avoidance of doubt, not self-insurance policies or policies issued by fronting insurance companies) or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement ) with respect to such Damages; provided, that the amount actually recovered under insurance policies or other collateral sources shall be net of costs of collection resulting from making a claim thereunder.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Securityholders make no representations or warranties in respect of the existence, amount or usability of the net operating losses, capital loss carry forwards, foreign tax credit carry forwards, research and development credits, assets bases and depreciation periods of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, in taxable periods, or portions thereof, beginning after the Closing Date. In addition, the Company Securityholders shall not be liable with respect to Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary attributable to Tax periods beginning after the Closing Date with respect to breaches of representations and warranties contained in Section 4.13(a), 4.13(b), 4.13(c), 4.13(d), 4.13(e), 4.13(i), 4.13(m), the first sentence of 4.13(o), 4.13(p), 4.13(s), 4.13(t), 4.13(u) (other than to the extent the breach of such representation results in the requirement of Parent, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to repay or remit a Tax benefit received by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date), or 4.13(v).

(g)    Except as expressly provided for herein, Parent acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Parent Indemnified Parties, that, should the Closing occur, its and their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims arising under or based upon this Agreement and any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith (including any Company Stockholder Letter of Transmittal, but specifically excluding any of the Employment Agreements, the Escrow Agreement, any Joinder Agreements and any Warrant Termination Instruments), shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this SECTION 15.

(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, absent fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional breach, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall give rise to any right on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or any Parent Indemnified Party, after the consummation of the Merger, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i)    Any Damages for which any Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this SECTION 15 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Damage constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant. No Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for any Damage arising from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein (and the amount of any Damage incurred in respect of such breach shall not be included in the calculation of any limitations on indemnification set forth herein) to the extent such Damage was already reflected in the calculation of the Closing Total Equity Consideration.

76



15.3    Notification of Claims. If a Parent Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that any Parent Claim has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur, an authorized officer or representative of such Parent Indemnified Party, as applicable, may so notify the Stockholder Representative. Each such notice shall be in writing and shall describe with reasonable specificity, and to the extent known by the applicable Parent Indemnified Party, the nature and amount of such Parent Claim.

15.4    Third Party Actions. In the event any Action is instituted by any third party against a Parent Indemnified Party which involves or appears reasonably likely to involve a Parent Claim for which indemnification may be sought, Parent will, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Action, notify the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Stockholder, such Indemnifying Stockholder) of the commencement thereof (a “Third-Party Action”). The failure to so notify the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Stockholder, such Indemnifying Stockholder) of the commencement of any such Third-Party Action will not relieve the Indemnifying Stockholders from liability in connection therewith, except to the extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Indemnifying Stockholders to defend their interests in such Third- Party Action. Except with respect to Third-Party Actions related to Taxes (“Tax Actions”), the Stockholder Representative shall have the right in its sole discretion to assume and control the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Action if (x) the remedies sought with respect to such Third-Party Action are limited solely to monetary damages and (y) the aggregate amount of monetary damages recoverable in the Third Party Action are reasonably anticipated at the time of the Stockholder Representative’s assumption of the defense of such Third-Party Action to be less than then remaining amounts in the Escrow Fund; provided that, Parent and its counsel (at Parent’s sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Third-Party Action; provided further that, except with the consent of Parent, (1) the Stockholder Representative shall not settle any such Third-Party Action and (2) no settlement of any such Third-Party Action shall be determinative of the amount of Damages with respect to a Parent Claim relating to such Third-Party Action. In the event that Parent has consented to any such settlement, Parent will not be entitled to make any claim under SECTION 15 for any additional amount of Damages against the Escrow Fund, or against the Indemnifying Stockholders directly, as the case may be, with respect to any such amounts paid in settlement of such Third-Party Action. For all Third-Party Actions other than as described in the foregoing sentence, including Tax Actions, Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to assume and control the defense or settlement of such Action; provided that, the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Stockholder, such Indemnifying Stockholder) and its counsel (at such party’s sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of ) the defense of such Third-Party Action; provided further that, except with the reasonable consent of the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Stockholder, such Indemnifying Stockholder), no settlement of any such Third-Party Action shall be determinative of the amount of Damages with respect to a Parent Claim relating to such matter. In the event that the Stockholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, the Indemnifying Stockholders shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this SECTION 15 to the amount of any such Parent Claim against the Escrow Fund, or against the Indemnifying Stockholders directly, as the case may be, with respect to such settlement.

15.5    Definition of Damages. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Damages” shall mean the amount of any loss, claim, Tax, demand, compensatory damage, deficiency, lost profits, liability, judgment, royalty, fine, penalty, diminution in value, cost or expense (including costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses and interest and penalties awarded or imposed by a Governmental Authority) incurred, paid, accrued or sustained by the Parent Indemnified Parties, including any costs (including costs of investigation and reasonable

77



attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) of defending any Actions or enforcing the Parent Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement.

15.6    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Company Securityholders, the Stockholder Representative and Parent agree to treat and report (and cause their Affiliates to treat and report) any payments received pursuant to this SECTION 15 as adjustments to the Total Equity Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Total Equity Consideration will be treated as having been paid in full to the Company Securityholders immediately following the Effective Time, and any payments from the Escrow Fund to Parent will be treated as a refund of the excess amount paid by Parent over the reduced Total Equity Consideration.

15.7    Investigation; No Company Recourse.

(a)    The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company or the Stockholder Representative in this Agreement, or any document, certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by the Company or Stockholder Representative under this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by any Parent Indemnified Party of any other Person at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any Parent Indemnified Party or any other Person at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Effective Time, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b)    An Indemnifying Stockholder shall have no right of contribution or other recourse against Parent Indemnified Parties, the Surviving Corporation, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, assigns or successors, for any indemnification claims asserted by any Parent Indemnified Parties, it being acknowledged and agreed that the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company are solely for the benefit of the Parent Indemnified Parties.

SECTION 16
TAXES

16.1    Pre-Closing Tax Period; Straddle Period.

(a)     All Tax Returns of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date and any Straddle Period, to the extent filed or required to be filed after the Closing Date, shall be prepared and filed by Parent. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with the past practice of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements or as could not adversely affect the Company Stockholders. In the event any Tax Return reflects any amount for which the Indemnifying Stockholders could be liable under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, such Tax Return, if due (including any extensions of time to file) more than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, shall be submitted to the Stockholder Representative for the Stockholder Representative’s review and comment (which comment shall be considered by Parent in good faith).

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after consultation with the Stockholder Representative, Parent may file or cause to be filed any FBAR Reports required to be filed with respect to the Company and each Company Subsidiary for any period.

(c)    Neither the Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall make or change any Tax election, adopt or change any accounting method, file or amend any Tax Return, initiate discussions with

78



Taxing authorities, participate in voluntary disclosure agreements, or take any other action if such election, adoption, change, amendment, discussion, participation or action could reasonably be expected to have the effect of increasing the Tax liability that the Indemnifying Stockholders are required to indemnify under this Agreement, unless, in any case, Parent has first consulted with the Stockholder Representative regarding such election, adoption, change, amendment, discussion, participation or action, and has given the Stockholder Representative reasonable opportunity to participate in connection therewith.

(d)    The Company and each Company Subsidiary will, unless prohibited by applicable Tax Law, close its taxable period as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Tax Law does not permit the Company or a Company Subsidiary to close its taxable year on the Closing Date, or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (a) to the Company Stockholders for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date and (b) to the Parent for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company and each Company Subsidiary as of the close of the Closing Date; provided that, exemptions, allowances, deductions or periodic Taxes (such as property or similar ad valorem Taxes) that are calculated on an annual or other periodic basis (including, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period ending after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

16.2    Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, transfer, gains, stamp, duties, recording and similar Taxes incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by Parent and 50% by the Company Stockholders. Parent shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes (the “Transfer Tax Returns”) and timely remit all such Transfer Taxes; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that Parent may seek indemnification with respect to the Transfer Taxes for which the Company Stockholders are liable pursuant to the preceding sentence. If required by applicable Tax Law, the Company Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative will join in the execution of any Transfer Tax Return.

16.3    Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy, or claim between Parent, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to the provisions of this Agreement that relate to Taxes that cannot be resolved by negotiations between Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall be submitted to the Boston office of BDO USA, LLP (or if BDO USA, LLP cannot or will not serve, such other nationally recognized firm reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative, the “Accounting Firm”) for resolution. The Accounting Firm shall control the proceedings related to the dispute resolution and may request such evidence and information as it deems necessary. The Accounting Firm shall promptly determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Accounting Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Parent and the Stockholder Representative, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of any Tax, fee, deduction or other amount in dispute which, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on Parent, the Stockholder Representative, the Indemnifying Stockholders and their respective Affiliates. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Parent and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders, based on the

79



inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total an amount equal to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Stockholder Representative’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Parent and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders.

SECTION 17

17.1    Powers of the Stockholder Representative.

(a)    The Stockholder Representative shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred upon him, her or it pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, including:

(i)    The Stockholder Representative has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to carry out his, her or its obligations hereunder and thereunder;

(ii)    This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Stockholder Representative, enforceable against the Stockholder Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions; and

(iii)    At or prior to the Closing, the Escrow Agreement will be duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement by Parent and the Escrow Agent, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Stockholder Representative, enforceable against the Stockholder Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions.

17.2    Claims by Parent.

(a)    Upon receipt or notice of any Parent Claim pursuant to Sections 15.3 or 15.4, the Stockholder Representative shall give prompt notice of the amount and details thereof (to the extent of the information in his, her or its possession) to the Indemnifying Stockholders.

(b)    The Stockholder Representative shall have the discretion to take such action as he, she or it shall determine to be in the best interest of all of the Indemnifying Stockholders, taken as a whole, including authorizing the distribution to any Parent Indemnified Party of any portion of the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that, in any event, all Indemnifying Stockholders are treated in substantially the same manner with respect to amounts to be paid from the Escrow Fund.

17.3    Notices. Any notice given to the Stockholder Representative will constitute notice to each and all of the Indemnifying Stockholders at the time notice is given to the Stockholder Representative. Any action taken by, or notice or instruction received from, the Stockholder Representative will be deemed to be action by, or notice or instruction from, each and all of the Indemnifying Stockholders. Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation may, and the Escrow Agent will, disregard any notice or instruction received from any one or more individual Indemnifying Stockholders.

17.4    Agreement of the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative hereby agrees to do such acts, and execute further documents, as shall be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

17.5    Reimbursement and Liability of Stockholder Representative.

(a)    Each Indemnifying Stockholder agrees to reimburse the Stockholder Representative for such Indemnifying Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in the performance of his, her or its duties hereunder. Each Indemnifying Stockholder agrees that such Indemnifying Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses may be distributed to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders, from the Representative Fund and, to the extent the Representative Fund is exhausted, from the Escrow Fund, if any portion is remaining prior to the final release of the Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Stockholders. The Representative Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent for reimbursements payable to the Stockholder Representative at the request of the Stockholder Representative in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(b)    The Stockholder Representative shall not be personally liable as the Stockholder Representative to any Indemnifying Stockholder for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith and without gross negligence. The Indemnifying Stockholders shall severally (but not jointly) based on each such Indemnifying Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion indemnify and defend the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Indemnifying Stockholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Representative Fund, and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Indemnifying Stockholders; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the Representative Fund and the Escrow Fund, this does not relieve the Indemnifying Stockholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders or otherwise. The Indemnifying Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

17.6    Reliance on Stockholder Representative. Parent, Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of Shareholder Representative Services LLC as Stockholder Representative, effective as of the Effective Time, and treat such Stockholder Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Indemnifying Stockholder and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. None of Parent, Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) or the Escrow Agent shall be liable to any Indemnifying Stockholder for any actions taken or omitted by them in reliance upon any instructions, notice or other instruments delivered by the Stockholder Representative. No resignation of the Stockholder Representative shall become effective unless at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the replacement or resignation of such Stockholder Representative shall be provided to Parent and the Escrow Agent. Parent, Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time,

82



the Surviving Corporation) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely at any time after receipt of any such notice on the most recent notice so received. If the Stockholder Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, his, her or its successor who shall serve and exercise the powers of the Stockholder Representative hereunder shall be appointed by a written instrument signed by Indemnifying Stockholders who would represent the Indemnifying Stockholder Threshold.
