Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 26, 2016, Citrix Systems, Inc. (“Citrix”) announced that it has entered into definitive agreements with GetGo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“GetGo”), and LogMeIn, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LogMeIn”), with respect to a Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “RMT”). Pursuant to the RMT and subject to the terms and conditions of those definitive agreements, (1) Citrix will transfer its GoTo family of service offerings business (the “GoTo Business”) to GetGo, (2) after which, Citrix will distribute to its stockholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GetGo (the “GetGo Common Stock”) held by Citrix, at Citrix’s sole option, by way of a pro rata dividend or an exchange offer (the “Distribution”) and (3) immediately after the Distribution, Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of LogMeIn (“Merger Sub”), will merge with and into GetGo (the “Merger”) and each share of GetGo Common Stock will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of LogMeIn (“LogMeIn Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement. When the Merger is completed, GetGo (which at that time will hold the GoTo Business) will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of LogMeIn and holders of Citrix’s common stock prior to the Distribution will own approximately 50.1% of the outstanding shares of LogMeIn on a fully diluted basis. The Distribution and the Merger are expected to be tax-free to Citrix stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent that cash is paid to Citrix stockholders in lieu of fractional shares in the Distribution or Merger.

The definitive agreements entered into by the parties include (1) an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 26, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Citrix, LogMeIn, GetGo and Merger Sub, (2) a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2016 (the “Separation Agreement”), by and among Citrix, LogMeIn and GetGo, and (3) a Tax Matters Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2016 (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), by and among Citrix, LogMeIn and GetGo. In connection with the transactions, Citrix, LogMeIn and/or GetGo will enter into additional agreements, including, among others:

 

    an Employee Matters Agreement, which will govern the parties’ respective obligations with respect to current and former employees of the GoTo Business;

 

    an Intellectual Property License Agreement allocating rights and interests in certain intellectual property relating to the GoTo Business;

 

    a Credit Agreement pursuant to which LogMeIn may borrow up to $25.0 million from Citrix for a two-year period following the closing of the Merger; and

 

    certain commercial, transitional and other service agreements.

Merger Agreement. As described above, the Merger Agreement provides that, immediately following the consummation of the Distribution, Merger Sub will merge with and into GetGo, with GetGo becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of LogMeIn. As a result of the Merger, each share of GetGo Common Stock then outstanding will automatically be converted into one share of LogMeIn Common Stock, and such shares will represent approximately 50.1% of the outstanding shares of LogMeIn Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. Immediately following the Merger, LogMeIn’s existing stockholders will continue to hold the remaining approximately 49.9% of the outstanding shares of LogMeIn Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. The Merger Agreement provides that GetGo have at least $25.0 million of cash as of the closing of the Merger, and also includes a post-closing adjustment based on the net working capital and indebtedness of GetGo as of the closing of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement also provides that, as of immediately following the Merger, LogMeIn shall set the size of its board of directors (the “LogMeIn Board”) at nine members, including four individuals selected by Citrix (the “Citrix Board Designees”). The Citrix Board Designees are expected to include current Citrix directors, Robert Calderoni, Jesse Cohn and Peter Sacripanti, and Citrix’s Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, David Henshall. In connection with the Merger, the LogMeIn Board will form an Operating Committee, which will consist of two LogMeIn directors and two of the Citrix Board Designees, to design and oversee a plan to achieve the synergies expected to result from the Merger and undertake related activities.

Completion of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including, among other things, (1) approval of the issuance of the LogMeIn Common Stock by LogMeIn’s stockholders (the “Share Issuance”), (2) the effectiveness of registration statements to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (3) the completion of the Distribution in accordance with the Separation Agreement, (4) the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and approval by the Competition and Markets Authority in the United Kingdom, (5) consent of the Federal Communications Commission and certain other state communications authorities and (6) receipt by Citrix and LogMeIn of customary opinions from their respective tax counsel. In connection with the transactions, Citrix has entered into a Voting Agreement with Michael Simon, Chairman of the LogMeIn Board, pursuant to which Mr. Simon has agreed to vote his shares of LogMeIn Common Stock, which represent in excess of 3.0% of the currently outstanding shares of LogMeIn Common Stock, in favor of the Share Issuance.


Citrix, GetGo, LogMeIn and Merger Sub each make certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including covenants to conduct the GoTo Business and LogMeIn business in the ordinary course of business, and not to take certain actions, during the period between signing and closing of the Merger. LogMeIn also agreed (1) to hold a stockholder meeting to obtain the required LogMeIn stockholder approval, (2) not to solicit alternative transactions, (3) not to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, alternative transactions (except under limited circumstances described in the Merger Agreement), and (4) that the LogMeIn Board will recommend that stockholders of LogMeIn vote to approve the Share Issuance (with limited exceptions described in the Merger Agreement). Citrix also agreed to certain non-competition covenants in the Merger Agreement regarding the GoTo Business.

The Merger Agreement contains specified termination rights for Citrix and LogMeIn, and requires LogMeIn to pay Citrix a termination fee of $62.0 million under certain circumstances. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that LogMeIn will reimburse Citrix’s transaction-related expenses in an amount up to $10.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated because LogMeIn’s stockholders do not approve the Share Issuance. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Separation Agreement. The Separation Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions regarding the separation of the GoTo Business from Citrix, including, among others, the identification and transfer of assets by Citrix to GetGo and the assumption of liabilities by GetGo from Citrix related to the GoTo Business, with certain exceptions provided in the Separation Agreement.

The Separation Agreement also governs the rights and obligations of Citrix and GetGo regarding the distribution of GetGo Common Stock to Citrix’s stockholders. At Citrix’s sole election, the Distribution may be effected by means of a pro-rata distribution of GetGo Common Stock to Citrix’s stockholders or through an exchange offer of common stock of Citrix for GetGo Common Stock, followed by a pro rata, clean-up distribution of unsubscribed shares.

The Separation Agreement also sets forth other agreements between Citrix and GetGo related to the Distribution, including, among others, provisions concerning the issuance of shares of GetGo common stock to Citrix and the termination and settlement of intercompany accounts. The Separation Agreement governs certain aspects of the relationship between Citrix and GetGo after the Distribution, including, among others, provisions with respect to release of claims, indemnification, insurance, access to financial and other information, and access to and provision of records. The parties will have ongoing indemnification obligations under the Separation Agreement following the Distribution with respect to liabilities related to the GoTo Business and the Citrix business, as applicable.

Consummation of the Distribution is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions under the Merger Agreement. The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Separation Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Tax Matters Agreement. The Tax Matters Agreement will govern the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations of Citrix and LogMeIn after the Distribution and the Merger with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other matters regarding income taxes, other taxes and related tax returns. In general, Citrix will be responsible for all taxes of GetGo for periods before the Distribution, and LogMeIn will be responsible for all taxes of GetGo for periods after the Distribution.

Different rules apply to any tax liability arising as a result of the Distribution and certain related transactions. While those transactions are intended to be tax-free, significant tax liability could arise if they are not. The Tax Matters Agreement allocates this tax liability between Citrix and LogMeIn. In general, LogMeIn is liable for all or a portion of any resulting taxes if the Distribution is taxable as a result of any action or failure to act by LogMeIn that affects the tax-free status of the Distribution. Citrix is liable in all other cases. The foregoing description of the Tax Matters Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Tax Matters Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Letter Agreement with Investors. In connection with preserving the tax-free status of the RMT, Citrix, GetGo and LogMeIn entered into a letter agreement with Elliott Associates, L.P. and Elliott International, L.P. (collectively, the


Investors”). Jesse Cohn, a director of Citrix and a Citrix Board Designee, is Senior Portfolio Manager of Elliott Management Corp. Under the general terms of the letter agreement, the Investors agreed that, from the date of the agreement until the first anniversary of the Distribution, they would not enter into any transaction that would result in the Investors owning 5.0% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of any of Citrix, GetGo or LogMeIn (not including the Investors’ economic exposure to shares of Citrix, GetGo or LogMeIn by virtue of owning cash-settled swaps or similar investments). Such restrictions with respect to Citrix and LogMeIn shall terminate upon the earlier of (1) termination of the Merger Agreement or (2) the resignation of Mr. Cohn from the board of directors of Citrix or LogMeIn and receipt by Citrix or LogMeIn, as applicable, of a satisfactory legal opinion from the Investors’ tax counsel, and with respect to GetGo shall terminate upon termination of the Merger Agreement. This agreement is distinct from that letter agreement between Citrix and the Investors, dated as of July 28, 2015, which continues in full force and effect. The foregoing description of the letter agreement with the Investors does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the letter agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

The Separation Agreement, Merger Agreement and Tax Matters Agreement have been filed, and the above descriptions have been included, to provide investors and securityholders with information regarding the terms of such agreements. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Citrix, GetGo, LogMeIn, Merger Sub, their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, or the GoTo Business. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that Citrix, on the one hand, and LogMeIn and Merger Sub on the other hand, made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract between the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the contract. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, such representations and warranties should not be relied upon as statements of factual information.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

On July 26, 2016, Citrix and LogMeIn issued a joint press release in connection with the transaction. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

Forward-Looking Statements

This filing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained herein which do not describe historical facts, including, among others, statements about the proposed business combination transaction between Citrix and LogMeIn, in which Citrix will separate the GoTo Business and combine this business with LogMeIn in the RMT, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may affect Citrix’s operations, markets, products, services, future performance and financial condition, and which could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks relating to the completion of the transactions on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining stockholder and regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, the dependency of the split-off on market conditions and the value to be received in any split-off, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the new combined company’s operations, the ability to integrate the businesses successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies, and the risk that disruptions from the transactions will harm Citrix’s or LogMeIn’s business, as well as economic, competitive, legal, governmental and technological factors and other risks and uncertainties described in Citrix’s filings with the SEC, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in Citrix’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Citrix’s or LogMeIn’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included herein, as such statements are made as of the date hereof and Citrix undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement unless required to do so by securities or other applicable laws.

then (w) Citrix shall promptly provide notice to Parent setting forth in detail the reasons the condition set forth in Section 8.03(b) would be unable to be satisfied, (x) Citrix shall consider in good faith any comments provided by Parent, (y) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of SpinCo Common Stock are converted pursuant to Section 2.04(a) shall be increased such that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by the former holders of SpinCo Common Stock with respect to Qualified SpinCo Common Stock equals the Threshold Percentage, if and to the extent necessary after considering Parent’s comments pursuant to clause (x) of this Section 2.04(e), and (z) except if the condition set forth in Section 8.03(b) would be unable to be satisfied as a result of (1) a breach by Parent of its obligations under this Agreement, (2) solely any actions taken by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries after the signing hereof pursuant to a plan (or series of related transactions) that includes the Distribution (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) other than the Merger, or (3) the issuance, vesting, settlement or exercise of Parent Stock Awards after the date hereof, the SpinCo Target Cash Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of $63.92 multiplied by the number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock required to be issued pursuant to the true-up set forth in clause (y) of this Section 2.04(e).

(f) Issuance of Shares of SpinCo Common Stock. As contemplated by the Separation Agreement, and subject to the adjustments provided in Section 2.04(e) and Section 3.01(f), on or before the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall issue and deliver to Citrix a number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock equal to the difference of (i) 26,868,269, minus (ii) the number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock held by Citrix immediately prior to such issuance.

Section 2.05 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) The certificate of incorporation of SpinCo shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, SpinCo or the holders of the SpinCo Common Stock, be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Annex B and, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter duly amended in accordance with such certificate of incorporation and applicable Law (provided that no such amendment shall be in breach of Section 7.05 of this Agreement).

(b) The bylaws of SpinCo shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, SpinCo or the holders of the SpinCo Common Stock, be amended and restated in their entirety to read as set forth in Annex C and, as so amended and restated, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter duly amended in accordance with the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, such bylaws and applicable Law (provided that no such amendment shall be in breach of Section 7.05 of this Agreement).

Section 2.06 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of SpinCo immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until such officer’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 2.07 Board of Directors and Management of Parent.

(a) The Parent Board shall take all such action as may be necessary to cause the number of directors comprising the Parent Board as of immediately following the Effective Time to consist of nine (9) directors, including (i) four (4) individuals designated by Citrix and satisfactory to Parent (the “Citrix Board Designees”) and (ii) five (5) of the current members of the Parent Board designated by Parent. Each of the Citrix Board Designees shall qualify as an “independent director,” as such term is defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) and at least one (1) of the Citrix Designees shall meet the minimum requirements to serve on the Audit Committee of the Parent Board under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Parent acknowledges and agrees that (A) the individuals set forth on Schedule 2.07(a) of the Citrix Disclosure Letter are satisfactory to Parent as Citrix Board Designees and (B) after consideration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the other information regarding such individuals provided to Parent by Citrix prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date hereof such individuals

 

19


meet the qualifications set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the appointment of Jesse A. Cohn or any other director, officer, employee or other Affiliate of Elliott Associates, L.P., Elliott International, L.P. or Elliott International Capital Advisors Inc. (collectively, “Elliott”) to the Parent Board as a Citrix Board Designee shall be conditioned upon the prior execution and delivery to Parent by Elliott of the Cooperation Agreement, in substantially the form set forth as Annex D or as otherwise may be mutually agreed between Parent and Elliott. The Citrix Board Designees shall be assigned to Class I, Class II and Class III of the Parent Board, under the Parent Charter and applicable Law, as specified on Schedule 2.07(a) of the Citrix Disclosure Letter. For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, or, in the case of the Citrix Board Designee whose term of office expires at the second annual meeting of stockholders of Parent occurring after the Effective Time, the period ending on such second annual meeting of stockholders of Parent, if any of the Citrix Board Designees is unable or unwilling to serve or is otherwise no longer serving as a member of the Parent Board, then Citrix may designate a replacement individual satisfactory to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board (a “Replacement Citrix Board Designee”) and the Parent Board shall promptly appoint such Replacement Citrix Board Designee to fill the vacancy created thereby. In connection with the first annual meeting of stockholders of Parent occurring after the Effective Time, the Parent Board shall, subject to the reasonable exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, take all such action as may be necessary to include the Citrix Board Designees and/or Replacement Citrix Board Designees in such class up for re-election as a nominee recommended by the Parent Board for election by Parent’s stockholders and shall use no less rigorous efforts to support the election of each such Citrix Board Designee or Replacement Citrix Board Designee at such annual meeting than the manner in which Parent supports all other nominees of the Parent Board.

(b) The Parent Board shall take all such action as may be necessary to cause each of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee and any other standing committees of the Parent Board to include at least one (1) Citrix Board Designee as of immediately following the Effective Time (subject, to the extent required by the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, to qualification of such Citrix Designees to serve on such Committees).

(c) The Parent Board shall take all such action as may be necessary to cause the Parent Board to establish an Operating Committee of the Parent Board (the “Operating Committee”) as of immediately following the Effective Time. The Operating Committee shall have a mandate to design and oversee a plan to achieve the synergies expected to result from the Merger and undertake such other activities related thereto as may be delegated in accordance with applicable Law by the Parent Board, and shall be empowered to hire, compensate and direct the work of third-party advisors to assist therewith, with funding for such third-party advisors to be provided by Parent. The Operating Committee shall be composed of four (4) members reasonably agreed upon by Parent and Citrix, consisting of two (2) Citrix Board Designees and two (2) current members of the Parent Board. If any of the Citrix Board Designees is unable or unwilling to serve or is otherwise no longer serving as a member of the Operating Committee, then the Parent Board shall promptly appoint another Citrix Board Designee (or Replacement Citrix Board Designee) to fill the vacancy created thereby. For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, (x) the size of the Operating Committee shall not be increased by the Parent Board and (y) the Operating Committee shall not be disbanded by the Parent Board, in each case without the consent of the Citrix Board Designees and/or Replacement Citrix Board Designees then serving on the Operating Committee. At the second anniversary of the Closing Date, unless the Parent Board acts to extend the existence of the Operating Committee, the Operating Committee shall automatically be disbanded and shall cease to exist as a committee of the Parent Board.

(d) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Parent shall consult with, and consider the views of, Citrix regarding the roles and responsibilities of members of management of the SpinCo Business in the management of Parent and the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.

ARTICLE III

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

Section 3.01 Exchange Fund.

(b) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Citrix shall designate a nationally-recognized commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Parent to act as agent (the “Exchange

 

20


Agent”) for the benefit of the holders of Shares who exchange their Shares in accordance with this Article III. Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article III promptly after the Effective Time, book-entry shares representing the Merger Consideration issuable to holders of Shares as of the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.04(a) (such book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.01(c) and other amounts payable in accordance with Section 3.01(e), the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions from Parent, deliver the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided that (i) no such investment of or losses thereon shall relieve Parent from making the payments required by this Article III or elsewhere in this Agreement, or affect the amount payable in respect of the Shares, and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent in the amount of any such losses, and (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest or other income from such investments shall be paid to and become income of Parent. Except as contemplated by Section 3.01(g), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as specified in this Section 3.01(a).

(c) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to distribute the shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of SpinCo Common Stock that were distributed in the Distribution have been converted pursuant to the Merger, which shares shall be distributed on the same basis as the shares of SpinCo Common Stock were distributed in the Distribution and to the Persons who received SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution. Each Person entitled to receive SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution shall be entitled to receive in respect of the shares of SpinCo Common Stock distributed to such Person a book-entry authorization representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Section 3.01(b) (and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, as contemplated by Section 3.01(e)) (and any dividends or distributions and other amounts pursuant to Section 3.01(c)). The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to Parent Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except as contemplated by Section 3.01(c).

(d) Distributions with Respect to Undistributed Shares of Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock that are not able to be distributed by the Exchange Agent promptly after the Effective Time, whether due to a legal impediment to such distribution or otherwise. Subject to the effect of abandoned property, escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following the distribution of any such previously undistributed shares of Parent Common Stock, there shall be paid to the record holder of such shares of Parent Common Stock, without interest, (i) at the time of the distribution, the amount of cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock; and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the distribution of such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and a payment date subsequent to the distribution of such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(e) No Further Rights in SpinCo Common Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the exchange of SpinCo Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article III (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued or paid, as the case may be, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of SpinCo Common Stock.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or book-entry credit of the same shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of SpinCo Common Stock, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote, or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. All fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that a holder of shares of SpinCo Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated by the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall cause the whole shares obtained thereby to be sold on behalf of such holders of shares of SpinCo Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, in the open market or otherwise, in each case at then-prevailing market

 

21


prices, and in no case later than five (5) Business Days after the time of the Distribution. The Exchange Agent shall make available the net proceeds thereof, subject to the deduction of the amount of any withholding Taxes as contemplated in Section 3.01(i) and brokerage charges, commissions and conveyance and similar Taxes, on a pro rata basis, without interest, as soon as practicable to the holders of SpinCo Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger.

(g) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or SpinCo Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or SpinCo Common Stock (other than, in the case of SpinCo Common Stock, to the extent contemplated in the Separation Agreement) with a record date occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, other than the issuance of stock by SpinCo in the Separation, the Special Dividend, or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Separation Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 3.01(f) shall be construed to permit SpinCo, Parent or Merger Sub to take any action with respect to its securities that otherwise is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including proceeds of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Shares on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any former holders of Shares who have not theretofore received shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(a), any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(e) and any dividends or other distributions with respect to the Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(c) (subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law).

(i) No Liability. None of Parent, Citrix, SpinCo, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund (or dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock) or other cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(j) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law or any other Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons otherwise entitled thereto in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.02 Stock Transfer Books. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of SpinCo shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of SpinCo.

Section 3.03 No Appraisal Rights. In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to holders of Shares in connection with the Merger.

Section 3.04 Citrix Equity Awards.

(a) Each Citrix Stock Option held by a SpinCo Employee that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, remain outstanding as an option to acquire shares of Citrix Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable award.

 

22


(b) Each Citrix RSU held by a SpinCo Employee that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and is subject to time-based vesting shall, after taking into account any accelerated vesting in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the applicable award, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease as of the Effective Time to represent the right with respect to Citrix Common Stock and shall be cancelled and a substitute Parent RSU with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock shall be granted on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Citrix RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting and forfeiture provisions), with the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Parent RSU equal to the number of shares of Citrix Common Stock subject to each Citrix RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Adjustment Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(c) Each Citrix RSU held by a SpinCo Employee that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and is subject to performance-based vesting shall be adjusted based on an interim performance assessment as if the applicable performance period ended as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and pro-rated based on the portion of the 36-month performance period which has elapsed as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share (each an “Adjusted Citrix RSU”). Each Adjusted Citrix RSU then shall, after taking into account any accelerated vesting in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the applicable award, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease as of the Effective Time to represent the right with respect to Citrix Common Stock and shall be cancelled and a substitute Parent RSU with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock shall be granted on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Adjusted Citrix RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that such awards shall thereafter be subject to cliff vesting as of the end of the applicable performance period and no longer subject to any performance-vesting criteria), with the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Parent RSU equal to the number of shares of Citrix Common Stock subject to each Adjusted Citrix RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Adjustment Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Citrix RSU held by a SpinCo Employee with respect to the 2014-2016 performance period that remains outstanding as of the Effective Time shall not be adjusted, prorated or cancelled and no Parent RSU shall be granted in substitution for such Citrix RSU as provided in this Section 3.04(c). Each Citrix RSU described in the immediately preceding sentence shall continue to constitute the right to earn shares of Citrix Common Stock based on the actual performance of Citrix during such performance period in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements (except that the Effective Time shall not constitute a termination of employment of any SpinCo Employee for purposes of such Citrix RSU).

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Citrix Board and/or the Compensation Committee of the Citrix Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and Citrix shall take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.04.

Section 3.05 Determination of Net Adjustment.

(a) Within two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Citrix shall prepare and deliver to Parent a report setting forth an estimate, prepared in good faith based on SpinCo’s and Citrix’s books and records and other information available at the time, of (i) the SpinCo Cash Amount (the “Estimated Cash Amount”), (ii) the total amount of SpinCo Indebtedness as of the Closing (the “Estimated SpinCo Indebtedness”), (iii) the SpinCo Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”) and the calculation by Citrix of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment (if any), (iv) the SpinCo Deferred Revenue (the “Estimated SpinCo Deferred Revenue”) and the calculation by Citrix of the Estimated SpinCo Deferred Revenue Surplus (if any), and (v) the calculation by Citrix of the Initial Net Adjustment Amount (if any), which, in the case of Estimated Working Capital and Estimated SpinCo Deferred Revenue, shall be prepared in a manner consistent in all respects with the Sample Working Capital Statement, including the line items set forth therein in accordance with GAAP (the report referred to in this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Statement”) together with any documentary materials used in the calculations thereof. If based on the Closing Statement, the Initial Net Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then immediately prior to the Closing, SpinCo shall distribute to Citrix an amount in cash equal to such Initial Net Adjustment Amount, and if based on the Closing Statement, the Initial Net Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then immediately prior to the Closing, Citrix shall contribute to SpinCo an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of such Initial Net Adjustment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Initial Net Adjustment Amount is zero (0), then no payments shall be made in connection therewith.

 

23


(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to Citrix a report that sets forth Parent’s good faith calculation of (A) the SpinCo Cash Amount, (B) the total SpinCo Indebtedness as of the Closing, (C) the SpinCo Working Capital, (D) the Final Working Capital Adjustment (if any), (E) the SpinCo Deferred Revenue, (F) the Final SpinCo Deferred Revenue Surplus (if any), and (G) the Final Net Adjustment Amount (if any) which, in the case of SpinCo Working Capital and SpinCo Deferred Revenue, shall be prepared in a manner consistent in all respects with the Sample Working Capital Statement, including the line items set forth therein in accordance with GAAP (the report referred to in this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “SpinCo Closing Report”). Citrix shall provide reasonable assistance, including reasonably requested documentation, to Parent in the preparation of the SpinCo Closing Report. Parent shall also deliver to Citrix documentary materials and analyses used in preparation of the SpinCo Closing Report reasonably requested by Citrix. The amounts set forth in the SpinCo Closing Report shall be determined in accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement.

(c) In the event that Citrix believes that (i) the SpinCo Closing Report prepared by Parent does not accurately reflect all or any portion of the SpinCo Cash Amount, SpinCo Working Capital, SpinCo Deferred Revenue or SpinCo Indebtedness at Closing, (ii) the Final Working Capital Adjustment, the SpinCo Deferred Revenue Surplus and/or the Final Net Adjustment Amount were incorrectly calculated by Parent, and/or (iii) the SpinCo Closing Report was not prepared in the manner required by this Agreement, Citrix shall, within thirty (30) days of the date on which Parent delivers the SpinCo Closing Report to Citrix, prepare and deliver to Parent a written notice of dispute (the “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the dispute. In the event that Citrix does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Parent within the time period required by the immediately preceding sentence, then the SpinCo Closing Report prepared by Parent, including the SpinCo Cash Amount, SpinCo Working Capital, SpinCo Deferred Revenue, SpinCo Indebtedness, Final Working Capital Adjustment, Final SpinCo Deferred Revenue Surplus and Final Net Adjustment Amount set forth therein, shall be deemed to be and shall become final, binding and conclusive on all of the parties hereto.

(d) In the event that Citrix timely delivers a Dispute Notice to Parent in accordance with the terms hereof, Parent and Citrix shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any such disputes shall be final, binding and conclusive on all of the parties hereto. If Citrix and Parent are unable to resolve any such dispute within ten (10) Business Days of Parent’s receipt of the Dispute Notice from Citrix, Parent and Citrix shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to KPMG LLP (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). Promptly following the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following such engagement, Parent and Citrix shall submit to such Independent Accounting Firm (and the other party) all documentary materials and analyses that Parent or Citrix, as the case may be, believes to be relevant to a resolution of the dispute set forth in the Dispute Notice. The Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items or amounts set forth in the SpinCo Closing Report as to which Citrix has disagreed in the Dispute Notice. The Independent Accounting Firm shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of all such submissions by Parent and Citrix, determine and deliver to Parent and Citrix a written report containing such Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of all disputed matters submitted to it for resolution, and such written report and the determinations contained therein shall be final, binding and conclusive on all of the parties hereto. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated to Citrix in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by Citrix (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted, and the balance shall be paid by Parent.

(e) If the Final Net Adjustment Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.05 is a negative number, then within two (2) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Net Adjustment Amount, Citrix shall pay to the Surviving Corporation via wire transfer in immediately available funds (in accordance with the wire instructions provided by the Surviving Corporation) an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of such Final Net Adjustment Amount. If the Final Net Adjustment Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.05 is a positive number, then within two (2) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Net Adjustment Amount, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to Citrix via wire transfer in immediately available funds (in accordance with the wire instructions provided by Citrix) an amount in cash equal to such Final Net Adjustment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Final Net Adjustment Amount is zero (0), then no payments shall be made in connection therewith.

Subject to Section 7.03(d), Parent shall solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the Parent Stockholder Approval and shall take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the Parent Stockholder Approval. Parent agrees that it shall not, prior to the termination of this Agreement, submit to a vote of the stockholders of Parent any Competing Parent Transaction or Competing Parent Transaction Agreement (in either case, whether or not a Superior Proposal) prior to the vote of Parent’s stockholders to obtain the Parent Stockholder Approval.

Section 7.03 No Solicitation of Transactions.

(a) Parent agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall cause each of its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of

(b) Parent shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after Parent attains knowledge thereof) notify Citrix, orally and in writing, after the receipt by Parent or any of its Representatives of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) with respect to a Competing Parent Transaction, including any request for discussions or negotiations and any request for information relating to Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection therewith or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect thereto. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry, offer or request and a description of such proposal, inquiry, offer or request, including the material terms and conditions (if any) of such proposed Competing Parent Transaction, and Parent shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt by Parent) provide to Citrix copies of any written materials received by Parent in connection with any of the foregoing. Parent agrees that it shall keep Citrix reasonably informed of the status and material details of (including discussions with respect to or amendments or proposed amendments to) (i) any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request; and (ii) any information requested of or provided by Parent pursuant to Section 7.03(c). Parent shall provide Citrix with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of any meeting of the Parent Board at which the Parent Board is reasonably expected to consider any proposal, inquiry, offer or request with respect thereto (or any lesser advance notice otherwise provided to members of the Parent Board in respect of such meeting). Parent agrees that it shall substantially simultaneously provide or make available to Citrix any nonpublic information concerning Parent that may be made available pursuant to Section 7.03(c) to any other Person in response to any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) unless such information has previously been provided or made available by Parent to Citrix.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.03, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, Parent may furnish information to, and enter into discussions and negotiations with, a Person who has made an unsolicited written, bona fide proposal or offer with respect to a Competing Parent Transaction that did not arise or result from a breach of this Section 7.03 if, prior to furnishing such information and entering into such discussions, the Parent Board has (i) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel) that such proposal or offer constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal; and, after consulting with outside legal counsel, that the failure to furnish such information to, or enter into such discussions with, the Person who made such proposal or offer would be a breach of the Parent Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (ii) provided written notice to Citrix of its intent to furnish information or enter into discussions with such Person prior to taking the first of any such action with respect to any given Person; and (iii) obtained from such Person an

 

58


Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision granting such Person exclusive rights to negotiate with Parent or having the effect of prohibiting Parent from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement) and, immediately upon its execution, delivered to Citrix a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 7.03(d), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify, modify, amend or fail to make, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify, modify or amend the Parent Recommendation; (ii) make any public statement inconsistent with the Parent Recommendation; or (iii) approve or adopt, or recommend the approval or adoption of, or publicly propose to approve or adopt, any Competing Parent Transaction (any of the actions described in (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Change in the Parent Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, in response to the receipt of an offer or proposal with respect to a Competing Parent Transaction that did not arise or result from a breach of this Section 7.03 or in response to an Intervening Event, the Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consulting with outside legal counsel), that the failure by the Parent Board to make a Change in the Parent Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and with respect to an offer or proposal, after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that such offer or proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Parent Board may, with respect to such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, make a Change in the Parent Recommendation; providedhowever, that the Parent Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Change in the Parent Recommendation pursuant to this Section 7.03(d) unless:

(i) Parent has provided written notice to Citrix advising Citrix that the Parent Board has received a Superior Proposal or that an Intervening Event has occurred promptly after the Parent Board determines to make a Change in the Parent Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, stating that the Parent Board intends to make a Change in the Parent Recommendation and describing the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal or the material facts and circumstances of such Intervening Event; and

(ii) Citrix does not, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice required by Section 7.03(d)(i) (the “Notice Period”), make a written offer or proposal to revise the terms of this Agreement (any such offer, a “Revised Transaction Proposal”) in a manner that the Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, to be at least as favorable to Parent’s stockholders as such Superior Proposal or, in the case of an Intervening Event, after consulting with outside legal counsel, permits the Board (consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law) to not make a Change in the Parent Board Recommendation; providedhowever, that, during the Notice Period, Parent shall negotiate in good faith with Citrix (to the extent Citrix desires to negotiate) regarding any Revised Transaction Proposal; and providedfurther, that any amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal or any material change to the facts and circumstances of the Intervening Event during the Notice Period shall require a new written notice from Parent describing such amendment or material change and an additional three (3) Business Day Notice Period that satisfies this Section 7.03(d)(ii), including with respect to Parent’s obligations to negotiate in good faith with Citrix.

(e) Any disclosure that the Parent Board may be required to make under applicable Law (including to the extent the Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law) with respect to the receipt of a proposal or offer with respect to a Competing Parent Transaction or under Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act will not constitute a violation of this Section 7.03providedhowever, that neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) make a Change in the Parent Recommendation in connection with such disclosure unless permitted by Section 7.03(d) and (ii) any public statement made that relates to a Competing Parent Transaction shall be deemed to be a Change in the Parent Recommendation unless the Parent Board references or otherwise reaffirms the Parent Recommendation in such public statement (it being understood that any “stop, look and listen” communication by or on behalf of Parent pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) shall not be considered a Change in the Parent Recommendation). Any Change in the Parent Recommendation shall not change the approval of the Parent Board for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state Law to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Citrix agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall cause each of its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to Parent’s stockholders), with respect to any Competing SpinCo Transaction; (ii) enter into, maintain, continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a proposal or offer with respect to a Competing SpinCo Transaction; (iii) agree to, approve, endorse, recommend or consummate any Competing SpinCo Transaction; (iv) enter into any Competing SpinCo Transaction Agreement; or (v) resolve, propose or agree, or authorize any Representative to do any of the foregoing. Citrix acknowledges and agrees that the doing of any of the foregoing by Citrix or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach by Citrix of this Section 7.03(f). Citrix shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Parent and its Affiliates) conducted prior to the execution of this Agreement by Citrix or any of its Representatives with respect to any Competing SpinCo Transaction. Citrix shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives to, release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or one of its Affiliates is a party in connection with any Competing SpinCo Transaction. Citrix shall promptly request each Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with Citrix in connection with such Person’s consideration of any Competing SpinCo Transaction (whether by merger, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), to return (or if permitted by the applicable confidentiality agreement, destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement. Citrix shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after Citrix attains knowledge thereof) notify Parent, orally and in writing, after the receipt by Citrix or any of its Representatives of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) with respect to a Competing SpinCo Transaction, including any request for discussions or negotiations and any request for information relating to Citrix or any of its Affiliates with respect to the SpinCo Business, or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of Citrix or any of its Affiliates with respect to the SpinCo Business.

61


Agreements; (ii) cooperate fully with the other parties in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals; and (iii) provide such other information to any Governmental Authority as such Governmental Authority may reasonably request in connection herewith.

None of the parties hereto shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of an investigation), litigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties hereto may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods, including under the HSR Act. Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (i) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Law; and (ii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns.

(e) Each party hereto agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any transaction, or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that might reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase the time required, by more than a de minimis extent, to (i) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, or any other applicable antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law, applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; (ii) avoid the entry of, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Loan Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; or (iii) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain the FCC Consent and (ii) obtain all approvals, authorizations, or consents and submit all notices listed on Schedule 4.05 of the Citrix Disclosure Letter.

Section 7.07 Tax Matters.

(a) This Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3 and the parties hereto hereby adopt it as such. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure the Tax-Free Status of the External Transactions, including causing each of the Separation and the Merger to qualify, and will not knowingly take any action, cause or permit any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act could prevent the Tax-Free Status of the External Transactions, including preventing the Separation or the Merger from qualifying, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Following the Effective Time, none of Citrix, the Surviving Corporation, Parent nor any of their Affiliates shall knowingly take any action, cause or permit any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act could cause either the Separation or the Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or otherwise prevent the parties from achieving the Tax-Free Status of the External Transactions.

(b) Parent and Citrix shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts in order for (i) Parent to obtain the opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP (“Parent Tax Counsel”), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, dated as of the Closing Date to the effect that, on the basis of the facts and customary representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion and the Tax Representation Letters and on the assumption that the conclusion in clause (ii)(A) of this Section 7.07(b) is correct, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that each of Parent, Merger Sub and SpinCo will be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code (“Parent Merger Tax Opinion”); (ii) Citrix to obtain the opinion of Skadden, Arps,

 

63

As of the date hereof, Citrix and SpinCo do not know of any reason (i) why they would not be able to deliver the Tax Representation Letters at the applicable times set forth in Section 7.07(c); or (ii) why Citrix would not be able to obtain the opinion contemplated by Section 8.03(b)(i).

(e) Citrix (i) as of the date of this Agreement, does not know and has no reason to believe, that any SpinCo Common Stock to be exchanged for Parent Common Stock may not be Qualified SpinCo Common Stock; (ii) will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent any SpinCo Common Stock to be exchanged for Parent Common Stock from not being Qualified SpinCo Common Stock; and (iii) will promptly notify Parent if, before the Effective Time, it knows or has reason to believe that any SpinCo Common Stock to be exchanged for Parent Common Stock may not be Qualified SpinCo Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit Citrix or any Citrix Entity from (i) (x) engaging in the businesses conducted by the Citrix Entities (excluding the SpinCo Business) as of the date hereof including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Citrix products and services branded in whole or in part as XenApp, XenDesktop, XenServer, XenMobile, NetScaler, SD-WAN, ShareFile, Citrix Cloud or Octoblu; (y) engaging in the design, development, marketing, sale and support of new technologies, features, products and services to the extent related to any such business (and not any Competitive Business) or any other organic expansion of such business (and not any Competitive Business), through internal innovation or research and development (including, any and all technologies, features, products and services in the Citrix Cloud and internet-of-things initiatives); and (z) engaging in any combination and/or integration, merger, commercializing of currently owned-technologies, acquisition, partnership, license arrangement, joint venture or otherwise to the extent related to any such business (and not any Completive Business), (ii) owning no more than 5% in the aggregate of any class of capital stock or other equity interest of any Person engaged in a Competitive Business, (iii) performing their obligations under this Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (iv) (x) utilizing for any purpose the Intellectual Property licensed to Parent and its Subsidiaries by Citrix and its Subsidiaries pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the IP License Agreement or (y) utilizing the Intellectual Property licensed to Citrix and its Subsidiaries by Parent and its Subsidiaries pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the IP License Agreement, or (v) acquiring a Person which engages in a Competitive Business so long as (x) the total consolidated revenues of such Person from the Competitive Business for the fiscal year ended immediately prior to such acquisition do not exceed 15% of the total consolidated revenues of such Person for such fiscal year, and (y) if such revenues exceed 10% of the total consolidated revenues of such Person for such fiscal year, the Citrix Entities enter into a definitive agreement to divest such Competitive Business so acquired not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the closing of such acquisition.

Section 7.14 Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Parent agrees that, for at least one (1) year following the Effective Time, it shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, except as otherwise required under the Employee Matters Agreement, provide each SpinCo Employee, while such SpinCo Employee remains employed (a “Continuing SpinCo Employee”), with the opportunity to participate in the employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent and its Subsidiaries in substantially the same manner as similarly-situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the service of each Continuing SpinCo Employee to be recognized for purposes of eligibility to participate, levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) and vesting under (i) any severance policy or program of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates and (ii) for at least one (1) year after the Effective Time, each other compensation, retirement,

 

66


vacation, fringe or other welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, but not including any equity compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements in which any such employee is or becomes eligible to participate, but solely to the extent service was credited to such employee for such purposes under a comparable employee benefit plan, program or policy of Citrix and its Subsidiaries (each a “Citrix Plan”) immediately prior to the Effective Time and solely to the extent such credit would not result in a duplication of benefits.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to each Parent Plan that provides for dental, medical or vision benefits in which any Continuing SpinCo Employee participates, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Parent Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Parent Plan for such employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Citrix Plan in which such employee was a participant immediately prior to the Effective Time but, with respect to long-term disability and life insurance benefits and coverage, solely to the extent permitted under the terms and conditions of Parent’s applicable insurance contracts in effect as of the relevant time; provided, however, that for purposes of clarity, to the extent such benefit coverage includes eligibility conditions based on periods of employment, Section 7.14(a) shall control; and (ii) provide each Continuing SpinCo Employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and prior to the date that, such employee commences participation in such Parent Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Parent Plan for the applicable calendar year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable Citrix Plan. Citrix shall as promptly as reasonably practicable provide Parent or its designee with such information as Parent reasonably requests regarding the Citrix Plans and the participation of Continuing SpinCo Employee therein and shall otherwise provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Parent at Citrix’s expense to the extent reasonably necessary to allow Parent to satisfy its obligations under Sections 7.14(a) and (b).

(c) From time to time, upon Parent’s reasonable request, prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall provide Parent with (i) an updated SpinCo Employee Schedule to reflect changes to the information provided on the SpinCo Employee Schedule, including as result of new hires or employment terminations and (ii) an updated SpinCo Contractor Schedule. Upon Parent’s written notice to Citrix delivered at least five days prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall cause the employment of any individuals mutually identified by Citrix and Parent to be transferred to Citrix or one of its Subsidiaries (other than SpinCo and its Subsidiaries) effective prior to the Distribution Effective Time and any such transferred employee shall not be a SpinCo Employee for purposes of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.14 are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right in any other Person, or any right to continued employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 7.14 shall be deemed to amend or require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to continue or amend any particular benefit plan before or after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

Section 7.15 Takeover Statutes. If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination” or other form of antitakeover Law shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective boards of directors shall use all reasonable efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.16 Defense of Litigation. Parent shall keep Citrix apprised in the defense of any Action brought by stockholders of Parent or in the name of Parent against Parent and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger; provided that, prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall not compromise, settle, come to an arrangement regarding or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any Action arising or resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or

 

67


consent to the same, without the prior written consent of Citrix (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the extent (a) such Action includes Citrix or any of its Subsidiaries, or their directors or officers as named defendants or (b) such compromise, settlement or arrangement would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the parties to perform their respective obligations hereunder, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in a timely manner.

Section 7.17 SpinCo Authorized SharesPrior to the Distribution, Citrix and SpinCo shall take all such actions necessary to amend and restate SpinCo’s certificate of incorporation, in form reasonably acceptable to Parent, such that the authorized number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock shall exceed the number of Shares contemplated by Section 2.04(f) of this Agreement.

(a) by either Parent or Citrix, if the Closing shall not have occurred by the date that is twelve (12) months after the date hereof (the “Initial Termination Date”); provided that if the conditions set forth in Sections 8.01(e), 8.01(f) and 8.01(g) shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Termination Date, but all other conditions to Closing (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, then either Parent or Citrix may extend the Termination Date to the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date hereof (the “Extended Termination Date” and, together with the Initial Termination Date, as applicable, the “Termination Date”) by giving written notice of such extension to the other party; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(a) shall not be available to any party hereto whose action or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement or the Separation Agreement shall have been the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

Assignments:   The Lender shall be permitted to make assignments of the loans and commitments, subject to the consent of the Borrower, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided however, that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required (i) in connection with assignments to affiliates of the Lender, or (ii) if an event of default exists.

Expenses:   The Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by the Lender in connection with any amendments, restatements, supplements, consents, waivers, restructurings, refinancings, or other modifications with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), or in connection with any modifications to the senior loan documents, and as a point of clarification, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees and expenses incurred by the Lender with respect to the initial documentation for the Revolving Credit Facility. The Borrower also shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including reasonable and documented legal and accounting fees) of the Lender in

Section 2.7 Notice of Stockholders Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The written notice of any meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation.

Section 3.3 Powers. The property and business of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authorities by these Bylaws expressly conferred upon them, the Board may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

Section 3.7 Quorum. At all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the authorized number of directors shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum, shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. If only one director is authorized, such sole director shall constitute a quorum.

Section 3.8 Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

Section 3.9 Telephonic Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

Section 3.13 Indemnification.

(a) The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under the DGCL from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by the DGCL, and the indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

(b) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(c) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,

 

5


partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(d) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation shall be successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 3.13, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

(e) Any indemnification under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 3.13 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 3.13. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

(f) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

(g) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

(h) The Board of Directors may authorize, by a vote of a majority of a quorum of the Board of Directors, the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee

or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Section 3.13.

(i) For purposes of this Section 3.13, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 3.13 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(j) For purposes of this Section 3.13, references to “other enterprises” shall include any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plans or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Section 3.13.

(k) For purposes of this Section 3.13, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 3.13 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) hereof, as the case may be.

(l) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 3.13 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(m) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification

brought under this Section 3.13 or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).

(n) Any amendment, repeal, or modification of this Section 3.13 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a person entitled to rights or protection hereunder existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

Gentlemen:

This letter (this “Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between LogMeIn, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Elliott Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Elliott Associates”), Elliott International, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“Elliott International”), and Elliott International Capital Advisors Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with Elliott Associates and Elliott International, the “Investors”), with respect to the matters set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in paragraph 8 below.

1. Effective upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Citrix Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Carbon”), GetGo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Carbon (“SpinCo”), the Company, and Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), dated July [    ], 2016, Jesse Cohn shall be appointed as one of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) designated by Carbon pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Merger Agreement (the “Investor Designee”). [The Investor Designee shall be appointed as a Class [    ] Director with a term expiring at the Company’s [    ] Annual Meeting of Stockholders.]

2. In connection with the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (and any adjournments or postponements thereof) (the “2017 Annual Meeting”), so long as the Investor Designee has been nominated by the Board for re-election as a director or continues to serve as a director in a class whose term will not expire at such meeting, and at each subsequent Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (and any adjournments or postponements thereof) at which the Investor Designee has been nominated by the Board for re-election as a director or continues to serve as a director in a class whose term will not expire at such meeting, the Investors will cause to be present for quorum purposes and vote or cause to be voted all Company common stock beneficially owned by them or their controlling or controlled Affiliates and which they or such controlling or controlled Affiliates are entitled to vote on the record date for the 2017 Annual Meeting or such subsequent Annual Meeting of Stockholders in favor of (A) the election of directors nominated by the Board and (B) otherwise in accordance with the Board’s recommendation on any non-Extraordinary Transaction related proposals; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the obligations of the Investor in this paragraph 2 shall terminate automatically if the Investor Designee does not accept such nomination by the Board for re-election as a director, the Investor Designee resigns from the Board or a Company Event (as defined below) occurs.


3. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Investor Designee, upon election to the Board, will serve as a member of the Board and will be governed by the same protections and obligations regarding confidentiality, conflicts of interest, related party transactions, fiduciary duties, codes of conduct, trading and disclosure policies, director resignation policy, and other governance guidelines and policies of the Company (including, but not limited to, the policies with respect to management being responsible for managing communications with external constituencies) as other directors (collectively, “Company Policies”), and shall be required to preserve the confidentiality of Company business and information, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees, and shall have the same rights and benefits, including with respect to insurance, indemnification, compensation and fees, as are applicable to all independent directors of the Company. The Company represents and warrants that: (i) all Company Policies currently in effect are publicly available on the Company’s website or described in its proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 8, 2016 or have otherwise been provided to the Investors, and such Company Policies will not be amended prior to the appointment of the Investor Designee and (ii) during the Restricted Period, any changes to the Company Policies, or new Company Policies, will be adopted in good faith and not for the purpose of undermining or conflicting with the arrangements contemplated hereby.

4. The Company will take all action necessary to appoint the Investor Designee as a member of the Operating Committee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) upon the formation of such committee in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

5. From the date of this Agreement until the Expiration Date or until such earlier time as the restrictions in this paragraph 5 terminate as provided herein (such period, the “Restricted Period”), the Investors will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates and their respective principals, directors, general partners, officers, employees, and agents and representatives acting on their behalf (collectively, the “Restricted Persons”) not to, directly or indirectly, absent prior express written invitation or authorization by the Board:

(a) engage in any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the proxy rules of the SEC) of proxies or consents with respect to the election or removal of directors or any other matter or proposal or become a “participant” (as such term is used in the proxy rules of the SEC) in any such solicitation of proxies or consents;

(b) knowingly encourage or advise any other Person or knowingly assist any Person in so encouraging or advising any Person with respect to the giving or withholding of any proxy, consent or other authority to vote or in conducting any type of referendum (other than such encouragement or advice that is consistent with Company management’s recommendation in connection with such matter);

(c) form, join or act in concert with any “group” as defined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to any Voting Securities, other than solely with other Affiliates of the Investors with respect to Voting Securities now or hereafter owned by them;

(e) sell, offer or agree to sell, all or substantially all, directly or indirectly, through swap or hedging transactions or otherwise, voting rights decoupled from the underlying common stock of the Company held by the Investors to any Third Party;

(g) enter into a voting trust, arrangement or agreement or subject any Voting Securities to any voting trust, arrangement or agreement, in each case other than solely with other Affiliates of the Investors, with respect to Voting Securities now or hereafter owned by them and other than granting proxies in solicitations approved by the Board;

(l) institute, solicit, assist or join any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding against or involving the Company or any of its current or former directors or officers (including derivative actions) in order to effect or take any of the actions expressly prohibited by this paragraph 5; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt the foregoing shall not prevent any Restricted Person from (A) bringing litigation to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, (B) making counterclaims with respect to any proceeding initiated by, or on behalf of, the Company against a Restricted Person, (C) bringing bona fide commercial disputes that do not relate to the subject matter of this Agreement or the topics covered in the correspondence between the Company and the Restricted Persons prior to the date hereof, or (D) exercising statutory appraisal rights; provided, further, that the foregoing shall also not prevent the Restricted Persons from responding to or complying with a validly issued legal process;

(n) make any request or submit any proposal to amend or waive the terms of this Agreement, in each case which would reasonably be expected to result in a public announcement of such request or proposal;

provided, that the restrictions in this paragraph 5 shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) as a non-exclusive remedy for any such breach, upon five (5) business days’ prior written notice by the Investors following a material breach of this Agreement by the Company (including, without limitation, a failure to appoint the Investor Designee to the Board in accordance with paragraph 1 or to the Operating Committee in accordance with paragraph 4) if such breach has not been cured within such notice period, provided that the Investors are not in material breach of this Agreement at the time such notice is given, (ii) the announcement by the Company of a definitive agreement with respect to any Extraordinary Transaction that would result in the acquisition by any person or group of more than 50% of the Voting Securities, (iii) the commencement of any tender or exchange offer (by a person other than the Investors or their Affiliates) which, if consummated, would constitute an Extraordinary Transaction that would result in the acquisition by any person or group of more than 50% of the Voting Securities, where the Company files a Schedule 14D-9 (or any amendment thereto), other than a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that does not recommend that the Company’s stockholders reject such tender or exchange offer, (iv) such time as the Company issues a preliminary proxy statement, definitive proxy statement or other proxy materials in connection with the 2017 Annual Meeting that are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or (v) the adoption by the Board of any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company that would reasonably be expected to substantially impair the ability of a stockholder to submit nominations for election to the Board or stockholder proposals in connection with any future Company Annual Meeting

 

4


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

6. During the Restricted Period, the Company, the Investors and the Investor Designee shall each refrain from making, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and its and their respective principals, directors, members, general partners, officers and employees not to make or cause to be made any statement or announcement including in any document or report filed with or furnished to the SEC or through the press, media, analysts or other persons, that constitutes an ad hominem attack on, or otherwise disparages, defames, slanders, impugns or is reasonably likely to damage the reputation of, (a) in the case of statements or announcements by any of the Investors: the Company or any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries or advisors, or any of its or their respective current or former officers, directors or employees (including, without limitation, any statements or announcements regarding the Company’s strategy, operations, performance, products or services), and (b) in the case of statements or announcements by the Company: the Investors and the Investors’ advisors, their respective employees or any person who has served as an employee of the Investors and the Investors’ advisors. The foregoing shall not restrict the ability of any person to comply with any subpoena or other legal process or respond to a request for information from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought.

7. The Company hereby agrees that the Investor Designee may provide confidential information of the Company to the Investors and their Affiliates subject to, and solely in accordance with the terms of, a confidentiality agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (which the Investors agree to execute and deliver to the Company simultaneously with the Investors’ execution and delivery of this Agreement). The Investors and the Investor Designee hereby acknowledge that they and their Affiliates are aware that United States securities laws may restrict any person who has material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling any securities of such company while in possession of such information. Accordingly, the Investors shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, purchase and sell securities of the Company only in compliance with the Company’s insider trading policy, a copy of which has been provided to the Investors.

8. As used in this Agreement, the term (a) “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act and shall include Persons who become Affiliates of any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement; provided that “Affiliate” shall not include any person that is a publicly held concern and is otherwise an Affiliate solely by reason of the fact that an employee or principal of the Investor serves as a member of the board of directors or similar governing body of such concern; (b) “beneficially own”, “beneficially owned” and “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning set forth in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5(b)(l) promulgated under the Exchange Act and shall include any other economic exposure to Company common stock, including through any swap or other derivative transaction, that gives a Person the economic equivalent of ownership of Company common stock, including, without limitation, the notional number of shares subject to derivative agreements in the form of cash-settled swaps; (c) “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on

 

5


which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed; (d) “Expiration Date” means the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement; provided that, if the Investor Designee remains a director of the Company as of such anniversary date, then the Expiration Date shall be automatically extended until the earlier of (i) the date that the Board fails to re-nominate the Investor Designee as a director of the Company in connection with an Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which the Investor Designee’s term of office expires or (ii) the date that the Investor Designee resigns as a director of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the Board shall have no obligation to re-nominate the Investor Designee as a director of the Company [following the 2017 Annual Meeting]1); (e) “Person” shall be interpreted broadly to include, among others, any individual, general or limited partnership, corporation, limited liability or unlimited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, group, association or other entity of any kind or structure; (f) “Third Party” means any Person that is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate thereof, a member of the Board, a director or officer of the Company, or legal counsel to any party to this Agreement; and (g) “Voting Securities” shall mean the shares of common stock of the Company and any other securities of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors, or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such shares or other securities, whether or not subject to the passage of time or other contingencies.

9. Each of the Investors, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and is a valid and binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; (b) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has or will during the Restricted Period have, any agreement, arrangement or understanding, written or oral, with any member of the Board (other than the Investor Designee) pursuant to which such individual has been or will be compensated for his or her service as a director on, or nominee for election to, the Board; and (c) as of the date of this Agreement, (i) the Investors, together with all of their respective Affiliates, as of the Closing of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will collectively beneficially own, an aggregate of [ ● ] shares of Voting Securities and (ii) except as previously disclosed in writing to the Company prior to the execution of this Agreement, none of the Investors nor any of their respective Affiliates, is a party to any swap or hedging transactions or other derivative agreements of any nature with respect to the Voting Securities.

10. The Company represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms; (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not require the approval of the stockholders of the Company; and (c) the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not and will not violate any law, any order of any court or other agency of government, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, each as amended from time to time, or any provision of any agreement or other instrument to which the Company or any of its properties or assets is bound, or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such agreement or other instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of, or give rise to, any material lien, charge, restriction, claim, encumbrance or adverse penalty of any nature whatsoever pursuant to any such indenture, agreement or other instrument.

11. The Company and each of the Investors each acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by it and that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach hereof, (a) the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief, without proof of actual damages; (b) the breaching party will not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; and (c) the breaching party agrees to waive any applicable right or requirement that a bond be posted by the non-breaching party. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.

12. This Agreement (including its exhibits) constitutes the only agreement between the Investors and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party. Any purported transfer requiring consent without such consent shall be void. No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party affected thereby, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose stated therein. Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

13. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. The parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the Investors and the Company (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware; (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or otherwise in any court other than such courts; and (d) waives any claim of improper venue or any claim that those courts are an inconvenient forum. The parties agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in paragraph 20 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each of the

 

7


parties, after consulting or having had the opportunity to consult with counsel, knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any right that such party may have to a trial by jury in any litigation based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any related instrument or agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any course of conduct, dealing, statements (whether oral or written), or actions of any of them. No party shall seek to consolidate, by counterclaim or otherwise, any action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived.

15. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties and is not enforceable by any other Person.

16. All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and other communications provided for herein, and all legal process in regard hereto, will be in writing and will be deemed validly given, made or served when delivered in person, by electronic mail, by overnight courier or two business days after being sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement shall become effective upon the appointment of the Investor Designee to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of LogMeIn, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the other letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and you (the “Cooperation Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Cooperation Agreement. Subject to the terms of, and in accordance with, this letter agreement, you and, subject to the restrictions in paragraph 1, your Representatives and Affiliates, may receive certain information about the Company and its subsidiaries, divisions and Affiliates from the Investor Designee that is confidential and proprietary and the disclosure of which could harm the Company and its subsidiaries. You understand and agree that disclosure of any such information by the Investor Designee shall be subject in all cases to his fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders and the Company Policies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Investor Designee shall not disclose to you or your Representatives or Affiliates (i) any information regarding the deliberations of the Board or its committees as a whole or of individual members of the Board or its committees or members of the Company’s management (which the parties agree shall not include factual information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries, divisions and Affiliates), (ii) any confidential or proprietary information of any third party in the possession of the Company and its subsidiaries that either (x) is identified as such to the Investor Designee by or on behalf of the Company or (y) as to which it is reasonably apparent that the Company or any of its subsidiaries is obligated by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation prohibiting disclosure or (iii) any information that may constitute waiver of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product privilege (both with respect to internal or external legal counsel) that is identified as such to the Investor Designee by or on behalf of the Company.

As a condition of your being furnished such information, you agree to treat any information, whether written or oral, concerning the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or Affiliates that is furnished to you by or on behalf of the Investor Designee (herein collectively referred to as the “Confidential Information”) in accordance with the provisions of this letter agreement and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions herein set forth. The term “Confidential Information” includes, without limitation, all notes, analyses, data or other documents furnished to you or your Affiliates or Representatives or prepared by you or your Affiliates or Representatives to the extent such materials reflect or are based upon, in whole or in part, the Confidential Information. The term “Confidential Information” does not include information that (a) is or becomes available to you or the Investor Designee on a nonconfidential basis from a


source other than the Company or its Affiliates or representatives; provided that such source is not known by you or the Investor Designee to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to, the Company that prohibits such disclosure, (b) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by you or your Representatives or Affiliates in violation of this letter agreement, or (c) has been or is independently developed by you or your Representatives or Affiliates without the use of the Confidential Information or in violation of the terms of this letter agreement. For purposes of this letter agreement, the term “Representatives” shall include your and your Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and attorneys.

1. You hereby agree that the Confidential Information will be kept confidential and used solely for the purpose of monitoring and evaluating your investment in the Company; provided, however, that the Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) to your Affiliates and any of your Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of advising you on your investment in the Company, (ii) in accordance with paragraph 3 of this letter agreement, or (iii) as the Company may otherwise consent in writing. All such Affiliates and Representatives shall (A) be informed by you of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, (B) agree to keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential, and (C) be advised of the terms of this letter agreement. You agree to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this letter agreement by any of your Affiliates or Representatives as if they were party hereto (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy the Company may have against your Affiliates and Representatives with respect to such breach).

2. You hereby acknowledge that you, your Affiliates and your Representatives are aware that the Confidential Information may contain material, non-public information about the Company, and that the U.S. securities laws restrict any person who has material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling any securities of such company while in possession of such information, and further acknowledge your obligations and those of your Affiliates and Representatives under Section 7 of the Cooperation Agreement.

3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this letter agreement, in the event you or any of your Affiliates or Representatives receive a request or are required by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, regulation or the rules of any national securities exchange (as determined based on advice of outside legal counsel) to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information, agree to, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) promptly notify the Company of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand or other requirement, (b) consult with the Company on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) in the case of any External Demand, assist the Company, at the Company’s request and expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or not available or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, (i) you or your Affiliates or Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which you or your Affiliates or Representatives are advised by

SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 26, 2016, is entered into by and among CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Citrix”), GETGO, INC., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Citrix (“SpinCo”), and LOGMEIN, INC., a Delaware corporation (“LogMeIn”). “Party” or “Parties” means Citrix, SpinCo or LogMeIn, individually or collectively, as the case may be. Each capitalized term used and not defined herein has the meaning set forth in Section 1.1.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Citrix (the “Board”) has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Citrix and its stockholders to separate (the “Separation”) the SpinCo Business from the remaining business of Citrix and its Subsidiaries;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated of even date herewith (the “Merger Agreement”), among Citrix, SpinCo, LogMeIn and Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of LogMeIn (“Merger Partner Sub”), immediately following the Distribution, Merger Partner Sub will merge with and into SpinCo (the “Merger”) and, in connection with the Merger, SpinCo Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock of LogMeIn, par value $0.01 per share, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and to effect the Separation and the Merger, Citrix desires to reorganize the SpinCo Business so that it is conducted through SpinCo and its Subsidiaries;

WHEREAS, in connection with the reorganization of the SpinCo Business, Citrix desires to Transfer, or to cause the other members of the Citrix Group to Transfer, to the members of the SpinCo Group all SpinCo Assets, and to assign all SpinCo Liabilities, and the members of the SpinCo Group desire to receive such SpinCo Assets and Assume such SpinCo Liabilities;

WHEREAS, to implement the Separation, following the reorganization of the SpinCo Business and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Board has determined to either (a) distribute, without consideration, all of the then outstanding shares of SpinCo Common Stock to Citrix’s stockholders by way of a pro rata dividend (the “One-Step Spin-Off”), or (b) consummate an offer to exchange shares of SpinCo Common Stock for currently outstanding shares of Citrix Common Stock (the “Exchange Offer”) and, in the event that Citrix’s stockholders subscribe for less than all of the SpinCo Common Stock in the Exchange Offer, distribute, without consideration and pro rata to holders of Citrix Common Stock, any unsubscribed SpinCo Common Stock on the Distribution Date immediately following the consummation of the Exchange Offer so that Citrix may be treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as having distributed all of the SpinCo Common Stock to its stockholders (the “Clean-Up Spin-Off”);


WHEREAS, the disposition by Citrix of the SpinCo Common Stock to Citrix stockholders, whether by way of the One-Step Spin-Off or the Exchange Offer (followed by any Clean-Up Spin-Off, if necessary), is referred to as the “Distribution”;

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the Merger that, prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Internal Reorganization and the Distribution will have been completed;

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 Citrix’s stockholders pursuant to Section 355 of the Code; and

WHEREAS, the Parties intend this Agreement to be, and hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §§ 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3;

(a) The Parties shall, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Distribution Date, cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain: (i) the Transfer or reissuance to SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group of all licenses, permits, registrations, approvals and authorizations of any member of the SpinCo Group or the Citrix Group issued or granted by any Governmental Authority prior to the Distribution Effective Time to the extent required to operate the SpinCo Business following the Distribution Date in the same manner as currently conducted by Citrix and its Subsidiaries; (ii) all Consents of any landlord under any Transferred Leased Real Property required to consummate the Separation or the Distribution; and (iii) Consents from the Third Parties identified on Schedule 2.4(a) and such other material Consents as may be reasonably requested by LogMeIn after the date hereof, provided, in the case of any such Consent requested by LogMeIn, that (A) such Consent is required to be obtained in connection with the Separation or the Merger, and (B) the failure to obtain such Consent would result in the loss of a monetary benefit by SpinCo or would otherwise adversely affect the SpinCo Business following the Distribution (each, a “Specified Consent”); provided further, that no Party nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to make any payment, incur any Liability or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party, in each case, that is not otherwise required to be made by the applicable Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any existing 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 obtain any such Consent. For the avoidance of doubt, the required efforts

 

19


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 Person’s 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 Person’s 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). The obligations set forth in this Section 2.4(d) shall terminate on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Distribution Date or, if earlier with respect to any Shared Contract, upon the expiration of the term of the Shared Contract (without any obligation to renew or extend).

Section 2.5 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties.

(a) EACH OF CITRIX (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE CITRIX GROUP) AND SPINCO (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE SPINCO GROUP) UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT, AND EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF FRAUD WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED IN ARTICLE IV OR ARTICLE V OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT OR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, NO PARTY TO ANY SUCH AGREEMENT IS REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING IN ANY WAY, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, AS TO THE CONDITION OR THE VALUE OF ANY ASSETS OR BUSINESSES OR THE AMOUNT OF ANY LIABILITIES TRANSFERRED OR ASSUMED AS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, AS TO ANY CONSENTS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH, AS TO THE FREEDOM FROM ANY SECURITY INTERESTS OF ANY ASSETS OR LIABILITIES, AS TO NONINFRINGEMENT, VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY CONCERNING ANY ASSETS, OR AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFENSES OR RIGHT OF SETOFF OR FREEDOM FROM COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR OTHER ASSET, INCLUDING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, OR AS TO THE LEGAL SUFFICIENCY OF ANY CONTRIBUTION, ASSIGNMENT, DOCUMENT, CERTIFICATE OR INSTRUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY TRANSACTION AGREEMENT TO CONVEY TITLE TO ANY ASSET OR THING OF VALUE UPON THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND FILING HEREOF OR THEREOF. EXCEPT AS MAY EXPRESSLY BE SET FORTH HEREIN, THE MERGER AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT, ALL SUCH ASSETS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS (AND, IN THE CASE OF ANY REAL PROPERTY, BY MEANS OF A QUITCLAIM OR SIMILAR FORM DEED OR CONVEYANCE) AND THE RESPECTIVE TRANSFEREES SHALL BEAR THE ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISKS THAT (I) ANY CONVEYANCE SHALL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN THE TRANSFEREE GOOD TITLE, FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY SECURITY INTEREST AND (II) ANY NECESSARY CONSENTS ARE NOT OBTAINED OR THAT ANY REQUIREMENTS OF LAWS OR JUDGMENTS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH.

(b) Each of Citrix (on behalf of itself and each member of the Citrix Group) and SpinCo (on behalf of itself and each member of the SpinCo Group) further understands and agrees that if the disclaimer of express or implied representations and warranties contained in Section 2.5(a) is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason under the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or if, under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, both Citrix or any member of the Citrix Group, on the one hand, and SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, are jointly or severally liable for any

 

22


Excluded Liability or any SpinCo Liability, then the Parties intend that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under the Laws of such non-U.S. jurisdictions, the provisions of the Transaction Agreements (including the disclaimer of all representations and warranties, allocation of Liabilities among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, releases, indemnification and contribution of Liabilities) shall to the fullest extent permitted by Law prevail for any and all purposes among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 2.6 Cash Management. From the date of this Agreement until the Distribution, Citrix and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to use, retain or otherwise dispose of all cash generated by the SpinCo Business and the SpinCo Assets or otherwise held by any member of the SpinCo Group. Subject to Section 3.05 of the Merger Agreement, all cash and cash equivalents held by any member of the SpinCo Group as of the Distribution Effective Time shall be a SpinCo Asset and all cash and cash equivalents held by any member of the Citrix Group as of the Distribution Effective Time shall be an Excluded Asset.

Section 2.7 Insurance. SpinCo acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Distribution Effective Time, neither SpinCo nor any member of the SpinCo Group shall have any rights to or under any Policies of Citrix, other than (i) any insurance Policies acquired prior to the Distribution Effective Time directly by and in the name of SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group, (ii) as expressly provided in Section 5.5 or (iii) insurance Policies providing coverage on an occurrence basis, including defense and indemnity benefits attributable to or arising from or under such Policies (such policies or programs, the “Pre-Closing Policies”). Citrix, on behalf of itself and each member of the Citrix Group agrees that with respect to acts, omissions, events or circumstances relating to the SpinCo Business that occurred prior to the Effective Time and that are covered by Pre-Closing Policies under which the SpinCo Business was insured prior to the Effective Time, SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group may make claims under such Pre-Closing Policies subject to the terms and conditions of such Pre-Closing Policies and this Agreement; provided that the applicable member of the SpinCo group shall notify Citrix in writing of all such covered claims and shall be responsible for the amount of any deductibles, retentions, premium increases and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such claims and any uninsured or uncollectible amounts related to such claims. For the avoidance of doubt, except with respect to the Pre-Closing Policies, SpinCo acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Distribution Effective Time the SpinCo Group and not any member of the Citrix Group shall be responsible for establishing any and all insurance programs required to comply with the SpinCo Group’s contractual obligations and such other Policies required by Law or as necessary or appropriate to operate the SpinCo Business, including with respect to general liability, workers’ compensation, directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability.

Section 2.8 Ancillary Agreements. In furtherance of the Separation, at or prior to the Distribution Effective Time each Party agrees that, from the date hereof through the Distribution Effective Time, it shall cooperate fully and negotiate in good faith with the other Parties in finalizing the schedules to and services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement. Each of Citrix, SpinCo and LogMeIn shall deliver executed copies of the Transition Services Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement and the IP License Agreement to the other Parties and use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all

 

23


things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to execute and deliver such other documents and other papers as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, prior to the Distribution Effective Time. The Appendices to the Employee Matters Agreement set forth the additional and/or different agreements of the parties thereto with respect to compensation, benefits, employees, and related matters outside of the United States. From and after the date hereof, the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to effect the provisions of the Employee Matters Agreement with respect to employees and employee-related matters outside of the United States. Prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall complete such schedules in good faith, and otherwise consistent with the principles of the Employee Matters Agreement, subject to the approval of LogMeIn, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. To the extent required by applicable Law, SpinCo, a member of the SpinCo Group or LogMeIn, as appropriate, shall become a party to the applicable collective bargaining, works council, or similar arrangements with respect to SpinCo Employees outside the United States and shall comply with obligations thereunder from and after the Distribution Effective Time. Prior to the Distribution Effective Time, the Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to engage in separation and integration planning with respect to the SpinCo Business; provided that no Party shall be required to take any such actions to the extent they would reasonably be expected to (A) jeopardize, or result in the loss or waiver of, any attorney-client or other legal privilege, (B) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or Third Party Contract or (C) result in the loss of protection of any proprietary information or Trade Secrets (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of such Party.

The terms and conditions of any Clean-Up Spin-Off shall be as determined by Citrix, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(a), mutatis mutandis, and in compliance with all applicable Laws and the rules and regulations of NASDAQ.

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 Indemnitee’s 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, SpinCo’s 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.

 

33


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 Party’s 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 Party’s 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 Party’s 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.

ARTICLE VI

PRESERVATION OF RECORDS; ACCESS TO INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY; PRIVILEGE

Section 6.1 Generally.

(a) Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article V (in which event the provisions of Article V shall govern) or for matters related to provision of Tax Records (in which event the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern), and subject to appropriate restrictions for Privileged Information or Confidential Information, from and after the Distribution Effective Time and until the later of (x) the sixth anniversary of the Distribution Effective Time and (y) the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations period, if applicable, and subject to compliance with the terms of the Transaction Agreements, upon the prior written reasonable request (i) by Citrix or SpinCo for Shared Information or (ii) by (A) SpinCo for Retained SpinCo Information or (B) Citrix for Retained Citrix Information, the applicable Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate access or, to the extent such information is reasonably practicable to identify and extract, copies of such information in the possession or control of such applicable Party, but only to the extent are not already in the possession or control of the requesting Party or any of its Affiliates; provided, that in connection with the provision of information under this Section 6.1(a), Citrix shall be entitled to redact any portion of the Retained SpinCo Information to the extent related to any matter other than the SpinCo Business, and SpinCo shall be entitled to redact any portion of the Retained Citrix Information to the extent related to any matter other than the Citrix Business; provided further, that in the event that any Shared Information, Retained SpinCo Information or Retained Citrix Information, as the case may be, constitutes Privileged Information, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access to such information in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to violate any such privilege. 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.

(b) Each of Citrix and SpinCo shall inform their respective Representatives who have or have access to the other Party’s Confidential Information or other information provided pursuant to this Article VI of their obligation to hold such information confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

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 Party’s 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.

Section 6.2 Financial Statements and Accounting. Without limitation of Section 6.1, from the Distribution Effective Time until the completion of each Party’s 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 Party’s requests, in each case to enable (i) such other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and management’s 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 Party’s 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 auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s 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.

Section 6.3 Witness Services. At all times from and after the Distribution Effective Time, each of Citrix and SpinCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon reasonable written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and agents (taking into account the business demands of such individuals) as witnesses to the extent that (i) such Persons may reasonably be required to testify in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved (except for claims, demands or Actions in which one or more members of one Group is adverse to one or more members of the other Group) and (ii) there is

 

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.

Section 6.4 Reimbursement. Except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party requesting information or services pursuant to this Article VI agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, actually incurred in connection with delivering such information or services, to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of the requesting Party.

Section 6.5 Retention. Each Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to retain all information that relates to the operations of the SpinCo Business in its respective possession or control at the Distribution Effective Time in accordance with the policies of Citrix or LogMeIn, as applicable, as in effect on the Distribution Date or such other policies as may be adopted by either Party in good faith thereafter (provided, that each Party shall notify the other Party of any such change). 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 Party’s 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 SpinCo’s 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 Citrix’s 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 Party’s 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

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 7.1 Dispute Resolution Procedures.

(a) Each Party shall appoint a representative who shall be responsible for administering this dispute resolution provision (the “Appointed Representative”). The Appointed Representative shall have the authority to resolve any such disputes.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, in the event of a controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity, termination or breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby

 

40


(collectively, the “Separation Agreement Disputes”), the Appointed Representatives shall negotiate in good faith for a reasonable period of time to settle such Separation Agreement Dispute; provided, however, that: (i) such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed to by the relevant Parties in writing, exceed twenty (20) days from the time of receipt by a Party of written notice of such Separation Agreement Dispute; and (ii) the relevant employees from both Parties with knowledge and interest in the dispute shall first have tried to resolve the differences between the Parties. 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.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 Complete Agreement; Construction.

Section 8.15 Governing Law.

All Actions that, directly or indirectly, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that if such court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware state court or United States federal court sitting in the State of Delaware.

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.

Section 8.17 Specific Performance. 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.

Section 2.4 Confidentiality of Proprietary Materials.

(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 Licensee’s rights in accordance with this Agreement, and solely to the extent that they need to know the same for such purpose. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall at all times restrict access to the Proprietary Materials only to such of its employees and contractors with clearance levels at least sufficient to be granted access to the most sensitive source code of Licensee, and to customers pursuant to source code escrow agreements with reputable source code escrow agents, and

(c) Licensee shall immediately notify Licensor upon Licensee becoming aware of any misuse of or unauthorized access to or disclosure of any Proprietary Materials, and Licensee shall fully cooperate with Licensor and comply with all requests of Licensor in connection therewith, without limiting any other rights of Licensor or obligations of Licensee hereunder.

(d) Licensee shall be released from the foregoing obligations with respect to a specific item of Proprietary Materials only if and at such time as Licensor notifies Licensee in writing that such item is no longer proprietary or confidential material of Licensor or has become publicly available through no fault of Licensee.

(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 Licensee’s 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 Licensee’s rights or licenses in accordance with this Agreement, and (b) except to Licensee’s 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 Licensor’s efforts to obtain a protective order or otherwise limit such required disclosure.

(h) The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement in perpetuity.

Section 2.5 No Disclosure Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and without limitation to any obligations under the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement, neither Licensor shall have any obligation hereunder to provide to the Licensee any tangible or intangible embodiments of or other materials relating to any Licensed IP of such Licensor or its Affiliates.

Section 2.6 Reservation of Rights. Each Party reserves its and its Affiliates’ rights in and to all Intellectual Property that is not expressly licensed hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement and the licenses and rights granted herein do not, and shall not be construed to, confer any rights upon any other Party, its Affiliates, or its Sublicensees or Distributors by implication, estoppel, or otherwise as to any of the other Parties’ or their respective Affiliates’ Intellectual Property, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

Section 2.7 Third Party Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the licenses granted under Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 are subject to any rights of or obligations owed to any Third Parties with respect to the applicable Licensed IP pursuant to agreements existing as of the Effective Time between the applicable Licensor or its Affiliates and such Third Parties.

In the event that SpinCo decides to forego prosecution or maintenance of any SpinCo Licensed Patent specifically set forth in Schedule C, or Citrix decides to forego prosecution or maintenance of any Citrix Licensed Patent specifically set forth in Schedule B, each of SpinCo or Citrix, as Licensor, shall notify Licensee thereof at least sixty (60) days prior to the deadline for taking a necessary step to continue to prosecute or maintain the applicable Licensed Patent. Upon receipt of such notice, Licensee will have the option of assuming responsibility for such prosecution and maintenance at its sole expense. If Licensee elects to assume responsibility for prosecution and maintenance pursuant to this Section 4.2, Licensee shall notify Licensor thereof at least ten (10) days prior to the final deadline, and, if Licensor notifies Licensee within five (5) days following such notice from Licensee that Licensor will not continue such prosecution or maintenance, Licensor shall assign, and hereby does irrevocably assign, its entire right, title, and interest in such Patent to Licensee, and as of such assignment such Patent shall cease to be a Licensed Patent of such Licensor hereunder; provided, that, such Patent shall thereafter be deemed a Licensed Patent of the assignee Party hereunder and licensed to the assigning Party in accordance with Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 (and with such scope and additional terms and conditions as the Parties may mutually agree upon in writing).

The applicable Licensor (the “Enforcing Party”) shall control such Action or settlement discussions (as applicable).

Section 5.2 Cooperation.

Section 5.3 Costs, Expenses, and Damages. Any and all amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party in any Action regarding a Third Party Infringement or Invalidity Allegation or settlement thereof shall, unless otherwise agreed, including in an agreement in connection with obtaining consent to settlement, be allocated first to reimbursing the Enforcing Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including any costs and expenses that the Enforcing Party must reimburse to the applicable Licensee), then to reimbursing such Licensee’s costs and expenses to the extent provided in this Article V, and any remaining amounts shall be retained by the Enforcing Party.

Licensee shall have all rights, elections and protections under the United States Bankruptcy Code and all other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws with respect to this Agreement and the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensor acknowledges and agrees that, if Licensor becomes subject to any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, subject to Licensee’s rights of election under Section 365(n), all rights, licenses and privileges granted to Licensee under this Agreement will continue subject to the respective terms and conditions hereof, and will not be affected, even by Licensor’s rejection of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

TRANSFER OF SPINCO EMPLOYEES; GENERAL PRINCIPLES

Section 2.1 Transfer of Employment to SpinCo of SpinCo Employees; SpinCo LTD Employees; Post-Effective Time Transfers; SpinCo Contractors.

(a) Section 4.14(a) of the Citrix Disclosure Letter, as updated from time to time prior to the Distribution Effective Time in accordance with the Merger Agreement, identifies each individual who is a SpinCo Employee and, Citrix and SpinCo have caused the employment of each SpinCo Employee to be transferred, pursuant to the Internal Reorganization, to a SpinCo Group member in the applicable jurisdiction.

(b) Citrix shall, or shall cause a Citrix Group member to, employ or retain the employment of each SpinCo LTD Employee until such SpinCo LTD Employee returns to active work or ceases to have a right to reemployment under the applicable Citrix Health and Welfare Plan. 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 SpinCo’s 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.

Section 2.2 Assumption and Retention of Liabilities. 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.

 

5


Section 2.4 Sponsorship of the SpinCo Plans; Transfer of SpinCo Plan Assets. As of the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix and SpinCo shall have taken such actions (if any) as are required to cause (a) LogMeIn, SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member to assume sole sponsorship of, and all Liabilities with respect to, each SpinCo Plan and (b) all assets of any SpinCo Plan to be transferred to LogMeIn or a SpinCo Group member in the applicable jurisdiction.

Section 2.5 Coordination with Merger Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to modify the obligations of the Parties set forth in the Merger Agreement with respect to labor, employment, compensation, and related matters, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 3.04 and Section 7.14 thereof.

Section 2.6 Reimbursements. From time to time after the Distribution Effective Time, the Parties shall promptly reimburse one another, upon reasonable request of the Party requesting reimbursement and the presentation by such Party of such substantiating documentation as the other Party shall reasonably request, for the cost of any Liabilities satisfied or assumed by the Party requesting reimbursement or its Affiliates that are made, pursuant to this Agreement, the responsibility of the other Party or any of its Affiliates.

Section 2.7 Labor Relations. To the extent required by applicable Law or any agreement with a labor union, works council, or similar employee organization representing any SpinCo Employee, the Parties shall cooperate to provide notice, engage in consultation, and take any similar action which may be required on its part in connection with the Distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Citrix shall, and shall cause any Citrix Group member to, comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws and the terms of any agreement with a labor union, works council or similar employee organization representing any SpinCo Employee, including all notification and/or consultation requirements, necessary in connection with the Distribution with respect to SpinCo Employees in accordance with applicable Law.

ARTICLE III

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION AND NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

Section 3.1 401(k) Plan. Citrix shall cause each SpinCo Employee to become fully vested as of the Distribution Effective Time in the SpinCo Employee’s account under the Citrix Defined Contribution Plan, including with respect to any employer contributions to such plan for the period occurring prior to the Distribution Effective Time (which such contributions Citrix shall cause to be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the Distribution Effective Time). Citrix shall (i) cause the Citrix Defined Contribution Plan to permit, if elected by a SpinCo Employee, the rollover of such SpinCo Employee’s account balance (including loans), to the LogMeIn 401(k) Plan, to extent permitted by law, and (ii) to the extent any SpinCo Employee has a loan outstanding as of the Distribution Effective Time under the Citrix Defined Contribution Plan, cause such loan to remain outstanding (and not go into default) until the first to occur of the end of the first full calendar quarter following the Distribution Effective Time or the earlier rollover of the SpinCo Employee’s account balance and loan note to the LogMeIn 401(k) Plan.

ARTICLE IV

HEALTH AND WELFARE PLANS; PAYROLL; COBRA AND VACATION

Section 4.1 Cessation of Participation in Citrix Health and Welfare Plans. As of the day following the date of the Distribution Effective Time, SpinCo Employees shall cease to participate in the Citrix Health and Welfare Plans (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.3). LogMeIn shall cause SpinCo Participants who participate in Citrix Health and Welfare Plans immediately before the Distribution Effective Time to be automatically enrolled or offered participation, as of the Distribution Effective Time, in LogMeIn Health and Welfare Plans corresponding to the Citrix Health and Welfare Plans in which the SpinCo Participants participated immediately before the Distribution Effective Time or in which similarly situated employees of LogMeIn participate; provided, that for SpinCo Employees employed primarily in (or, in the case of any expatriate SpinCo Employee, whose home country is) the United States, or as may be required under applicable Law for SpinCo Employees employed primarily outside of the United States, such LogMeIn Health and Welfare Plans shall be substantially similar to the Citrix Health and Welfare Plans in which such SpinCo Participants participated immediately prior to the Distribution Effective Time.

Section 4.2 Allocation of Health and Welfare Plan Liabilities. All outstanding Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from health and welfare coverage or claims incurred by or on behalf of SpinCo Participants under the Citrix Health and Welfare Plans on or before date of the Distribution Effective Time shall be retained by Citrix.

Section 4.3 Flexible Spending Plan Treatment. Prior to the Distribution Effective Time, LogMeIn shall establish or designate a dependent care spending account and a medical care spending account (the “LogMeIn FSAs”). The Parties shall take all steps reasonably necessary or appropriate so that the account balances (positive or negative) under the Citrix FSAs of each SpinCo Employee who has elected to participate therein in the year in which the Distribution Effective Time occurs shall be transferred on, or as soon as practicable after, the Distribution Effective Time from the Citrix FSAs to the corresponding LogMeIn FSAs. The LogMeIn FSAs shall assume responsibility as of the Distribution Effective Time for all outstanding dependent care and medical care claims under the Citrix FSAs of each SpinCo Employee for the year in which the Distribution Effective Time occurs and shall assume the rights of and agree to perform the obligations of the analogous Citrix FSA from and after the day following the date of the Distribution Effective Time. The Parties shall cooperate to provide that the contribution elections of each such SpinCo Employee as in effect immediately before the Distribution Effective Time remain in effect under the LogMeIn FSAs following the Distribution Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall transfer to SpinCo an amount equal to the total contributions made to the Citrix FSAs by SpinCo Employees in respect of the plan year in which the Distribution Effective Time occurs, reduced by an amount equal to the total claims already paid to SpinCo in respect of such plan year. From and after the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall (subject to applicable Law) provide SpinCo with such information such entity may reasonably request to enable it to verify any claims information pertaining to a Citrix FSA.

 

7


Section 4.4 Workers’ Compensation Liabilities. All workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by SpinCo Employees that result from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred before or on the date of the Distribution Effective Time shall be retained by Citrix. SpinCo and each SpinCo Group member shall be solely responsible for all workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by a SpinCo Employee that results from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred after the date of the Distribution Effective Time. A claim for workers compensation benefits shall be deemed to be incurred when the event giving rise to the claim (the “Workers Compensation Event”) occurs. If the Workers Compensation Event occurs over a period both preceding and following the date of the Distribution Effective Time, the claim shall be, to the extent not covered by insurance, the joint responsibility of LogMeIn and Citrix (allocated as appropriate between LogMeIn and Citrix based upon the relative periods of time that the Workers Compensation Event transpired preceding and following the Distribution Effective Time). The Parties shall cooperate with respect to any notification to appropriate governmental agencies of the disposition and the issuance of new, or the transfer of existing, workers’ compensation insurance policies and contracts governing the handling of claims.

Section 4.5 COBRA and HIPAA. Citrix or the applicable Citrix Group member shall remain responsible for all Liabilities incurred pursuant to COBRA and for administering compliance with the health care continuation requirements of COBRA, the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA, and the corresponding provisions of the Citrix Health and Welfare Plans with respect to COBRA qualifying events occurring on or before the date of the Distribution Effective Time. SpinCo, LogMeIn or an applicable Affiliate shall be responsible for all Liabilities incurred pursuant to COBRA and for administering compliance with the health care continuation requirements of COBRA, the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA, and the corresponding provisions of the SpinCo Health and Welfare Plans with respect to SpinCo Participants who incur a COBRA qualifying event at any time after the date of the Distribution Effective Time.

Section 4.6 Vacation and Paid Time Off. As of the Distribution Effective Time, the applicable SpinCo Group member shall credit each SpinCo Employee with the unused vacation days and personal and sickness days that such individual has accrued immediately prior to the Distribution Effective Time, to the extent included as a SpinCo Current Liability in SpinCo Working Capital (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement), in accordance with the vacation and personnel policies applicable to such employee immediately prior to the Distribution Effective Time (unless such vacation and paid time off is required under applicable Law to be paid out to the SpinCo Employee in connection with the Distribution and the transactions contemplated hereby, in which case such payment shall be made by Citrix as of or prior to the Distribution Effective Time).

Section 4.7 Payroll. On the applicable Citrix Group member’s first ordinary payroll date occurring on or after the Distribution Effective Time, Citrix shall cause to be paid to all SpinCo Employees all unpaid wages and other compensation earned or accrued through the Distribution Effective Time, including the amounts required to be paid under Sections 5.1 through 5.3.

At the Distribution Effective Time, the participation by each SpinCo Employee in any cash bonus plan of Citrix or a Citrix Group Member shall end, and Citrix shall pay to each such SpinCo Employee a prorated cash bonus under any cash bonus plan of Citrix or a Citrix Group Member, as determined in good faith by Citrix in a manner consistent with past practices and based on the target level of performance (without regard to any requirement for continued employment following the Distribution Effective Time). The participation by any SpinCo Employee in a sales plan of Citrix or a Citrix Group Member shall end as of the Distribution Effective Time, and Citrix shall pay to each such SpinCo Employee the applicable commission under such sales plan for any transactions that have closed prior to the Distribution Effective Time, provided and only to the extent that such SpinCo Employee would have been entitled to receive such commission pursuant to the terms of such sales plan if the Distribution Effective Time had not occurred.

ARTICLE VI

NON-U.S. EMPLOYEES

Section 6.1 Special Provisions for Employees Outside of the United States. The Appendices to this Agreement set forth the additional and/or different agreements of the Parties with respect to compensation, benefits, employees, and related matters outside of the United States. From and after the date hereof, the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to effect the provisions of this Agreement with respect to employees and employee-related matters outside of the United States.

SpinCo and its respective authorized agents shall, subject to applicable laws on confidentiality, be given reasonable and timely access to, and may make copies of, all information relating to the subjects of this Agreement in the custody of the Citrix Group, to the extent reasonably necessary for such administration. Citrix Group members shall be entitled to retain copies of all SpinCo Records relating to the subjects of this Agreement in the custody of the Citrix Group, subject to the terms of the Separation Agreement and applicable Law.

Section 7.2 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement shall be construed to create any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any future, present, or former employee of Citrix, a Citrix Group member, SpinCo, or a SpinCo Group member under this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, any Citrix Plan or SpinCo Plan or otherwise. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude SpinCo or any SpinCo Group member, at any time after the Distribution Effective Time, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any respect any SpinCo Plan, any benefit under any SpinCo Plan or any trust, insurance policy, or funding vehicle related to any SpinCo Plan (in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable arrangement); except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Citrix or any Citrix Group member, at any time after the Distribution Effective Time, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any respect any Citrix Plan, any benefit under any Citrix Plan or any trust, insurance policy, or funding vehicle related to any Citrix Plan (in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable arrangement); and except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude LogMeIn from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any respect any LogMeIn Plan, any benefit under any LogMeIn Plan or any trust, insurance policy, or funding vehicle related to any LogMeIn Plan (in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable arrangement).

Section 7.3 Audit Rights with Respect to Information Provided. Each of Citrix and SpinCo, and their duly authorized representatives, shall have the right to conduct reasonable audits with respect to all information provided to it by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate to determine the procedures and guidelines for conducting audits under this Section 7.3, which shall require reasonable advance notice by the auditing Party. The auditing Party shall have the right to make copies of any records at its expense, subject to applicable Law.

Section 7.4 Fiduciary Matters. Citrix and SpinCo each acknowledge that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable Law, and no Party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good faith determination (as supported by advice from counsel experienced in such matters) that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard. Each Party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other Party for any Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility.

Section 7.5 Consent of Third Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor or Governmental Authority), Citrix and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent, and if such consent is not obtained, to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the full extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, Citrix and SpinCo shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner. The phrase “commercially reasonable efforts” as used herein shall not be construed to require the incurrence of any non-routine or unreasonable expense or liability or the waiver of any right.

Section 7.6 Taxes. Citrix shall cause to be timely withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority all Taxes (including employer payroll Taxes) required to be withheld or remitted in respect of any compensation paid by any Citrix Group member to a SpinCo Employee on or after the date of the Distribution Effective Time (“Citrix Post-Closing Compensation”). Citrix shall reimburse SpinCo (or its designee) for any Taxes any SpinCo Group member is required to pay or withhold with respect to any Citrix Post-Closing Compensation, following receipt by Citrix of SpinCo’s request for such payment and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Citrix of the payment of such Taxes by a SpinCo Group Member. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 7.6 and those of the Tax Matters Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7.6 shall govern.

Section 7.7 Sponsored Employees. The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective members, to cooperate in good faith with each other and the applicable Governmental Authorities with respect to the process of obtaining work authorization for each Sponsored Employee to work with SpinCo or a SpinCo Group member, including but not limited to, petitioning the applicable Governmental Authorities for the transfer of each Sponsored Employee’s (as well as any spouse or dependent thereof, as applicable) visa or work permit, or the grant of a new visa or work permit, to SpinCo or any SpinCo Group member. Citrix agrees to promptly pay all costs and expenses related to the obtainment of work authorization of such Sponsored Employee (as well as any spouse or dependent thereof, as applicable) that are incurred in connection with the Internal Reorganization. LogMeIn agrees to promptly pay such costs and expenses that are otherwise incurred in connection with the Separation, Distribution or Merger. In the event that it is not legally permissible for a Sponsored Employee to continue work with SpinCo, or a SpinCo Group member, as applicable, following the Distribution Effective Time, such Sponsored Employee shall be treated as a SpinCo LTD Employee hereunder and the parties shall reasonably cooperate to provide for the services of such Sponsored Employee to be made available exclusively to the SpinCo Group under an employee secondment or similar arrangement under which a SpinCo

 

11


Group member shall be responsible for the actual costs incurred by the Citrix Group for such individual’s compensation and benefits during the period of such secondment or similar arrangement (except to the extent such costs are otherwise allocated to a Citrix Group member hereunder) until the applicable visa or work permit is obtained (for the avoidance of doubt, and pursuant Section 2.1(b) such period shall not last longer than six (6) months); provided, however, that the Parties shall continue to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the applicable visa or work permit.

ARTICLE VIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 8.1 General.

(b) Except as set forth in Article V of the Separation Agreement or as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Transaction Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement (and any amount billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that is not paid within sixty (60) days of such bill, invoice, or other demand) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, from time to time in effect, plus two percent (2%), calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment.

(c) Without the consent of the party receiving any payment under this Agreement specifying otherwise, all payments to be made by either Citrix or SpinCo under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. dollars.

Section 9.13 Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Subject to the prior written consent of the other Parties, each Party shall be entitled to update the Schedules from and after the date hereof until the Distribution Effective Time.

Section 9.14 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof that might lead to the application of Laws other than the Laws of the State of Delaware. All Actions that, directly or indirectly, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; providedhowever, that if such court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware state court or United States federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the Parties hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any Action brought by any party hereto that, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement; (b) agrees that service of process in such Action will be validly effected by sending notice in accordance with Section 9.6; (c) irrevocably waives and releases, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in or with

Section 9.16 Specific Performance. 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 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. For the avoidance of doubt, LogMeIn shall, during the term of this Agreement, have the right to enforce specifically the obligations of Citrix and SpinCo set forth herein. The Parties agree that they will not contest the appropriateness of specific performance as a remedy.

Section 9.17 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.

 

16

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 9.19 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.

Section 9.20 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.

ARTICLE 2

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 Provider’s 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 Provider’s actual direct cost to provide the Additional Services, plus five percent (5%), and thereafter shall be equal to the Service Provider’s 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

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.

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.

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.

9.4.2 By Service Recipient. Without limiting the rights of the Service Provider under any other Transaction Agreement, the Service Recipient shall indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider, 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 Damages arising or resulting from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Service Recipient in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

16


9.4.3 Procedure. A Party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.4 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim, action or demand (a “Claim”) for which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification under this ARTICLE 9. 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 Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend or settle such Claim is actually prejudiced by such delay. Notice of a Claim shall be accompanied by all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party relevant to the investigation, assessment, defense and settlement of such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall, at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party, take such actions as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with the investigation, assessment, defense and settlement of any Claim.

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 Recipient’s obligations hereunder to make payment for any Fees, Expenses or other costs.

ARTICLE 10

GENERAL

10.1 Confidential Information. The rights and obligations under this Agreement are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of information set forth in the Separation Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent any Confidential Information concerning or belonging to the Service Recipient or its Affiliates is disclosed to any member of the Service Provider’s Group in connection with providing Services under this Agreement, then such Confidential Information shall be used by the applicable member of the Service Provider’s Group only in connection with the provision of such services.

10.2 Relationship of the Parties. The Service Provider, in performance of its obligations under this Agreement, is acting as an independent contractor to the Service Recipient, and not as a partner, joint venture or agent, nor do the Parties intend to create by this Agreement an employer-employee relationship as between the Service Provider and the Service Recipient. Each of the Parties retains control over its respective personnel (including, as between the Parties, the exclusive right to select, hire, utilize and discharge its employees), and the employees of the Service Provider shall not be considered employees of the Service Recipient nor shall the employees of the Service Recipient be considered employees of the

 

17


Service Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall, and the provision of Services by the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement shall not, (a) restrict the Service Provider’s ability to make any changes in its personnel, including its ability to terminate the employment of or reassign any Person providing any Service to the Service Recipient under this Agreement or (b) modify, terminate or otherwise affect the status of any Person employed by the Service Provider as an at-will employee, who shall remain an at-will employee of the Service Provider. Neither Party shall be bound by any representation, act or omission of the other Party. Neither Party has any right, power or authority to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party.

10.3 Survival. The provisions of Section 1.1, Section 3.5, ARTICLE 6, SECTION 8.3, ARTICLE 9 and this ARTICLE 10 shall survive termination or expiration of the Service Performance Period and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their applicable terms.

10.4 Schedules. The Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein.

10.5 Complete Agreement; Construction. This Agreement, the Disclosure Letters (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the other Transaction Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. If there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and a provision in any of the other Transaction Agreements (other than the Separation Agreement or the Merger Agreement), the provision of this Agreement shall control unless (i) with respect to any Ancillary Agreement other than the Tax Matters Agreement, as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement or in such other Ancillary Agreement, (ii) with respect to the Tax Matters Agreement, the provision relates to matters addressed by the Tax Matters Agreement, in which case the Tax Matters Agreement shall control, or (iii) with respect to the Employee Matters Agreement, the provision relates to matters addressed by the Employee Matters Agreement, in which case the Employee Matters Agreement shall control. If there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and a provision in the Separation Agreement, the provision in the Separation Agreement shall control, and if there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and a provision in the Merger Agreement, the provision of the Merger Agreement shall control. Neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall govern Tax matters (including any administrative, procedural, and related matters thereto, “Tax Matters”), except to the extent expressly provided herein or therein. Tax Matters shall be exclusively governed by the Tax Matters Agreement.

10.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof that might lead to the application of Laws other than the Laws of the State of Delaware. All Actions that, directly or indirectly, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that if such court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware state court or United States federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the Parties

 

18


hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any Action brought by any party hereto that, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement; (b) agrees that service of process in such Action will be validly effected by sending notice in accordance with Section 10.9; (c) irrevocably waives and releases, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in or with respect to any such Action, any claim that (i) such Action is not subject to the subject matter jurisdiction of at least one of the above-named courts; (ii) its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution in the State of Delaware; (iii) such Action is brought in an inconvenient forum; (iv) that the venue of such Action is improper; or (v) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts; and (d) agrees not to move to transfer any such Action to a court other than any of the above-named courts.

10.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. 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 10.7.

Citrix shall be responsible for all Taxes reported, or required to be reported, on any Joint Return that any member of the Citrix Group files or is required to file under the Code or other applicable Tax Law; provided, however, that to the extent any such Joint Return includes any Tax Item attributable to any member of the SpinCo Group or to the SpinCo Business for any Post-Distribution Period, SpinCo shall be responsible for all Taxes attributable to such Tax Items, computed in a manner reasonably agreed by Citrix and RMT Parent.

(b) Allocation of Taxes for Separate Returns.

(i) Citrix shall be responsible for all Taxes reported, or required to be reported, on (x) a Citrix Separate Return or (y) a SpinCo Separate Return with respect to a Pre-Distribution Period, in each case including any increase in such Tax as a result of a Final Determination.

(ii) SpinCo shall be responsible for all Taxes reported, or required to be reported, on a SpinCo Separate Return with respect to a Post-Distribution Period, including any increase in such Tax as a result of a Final Determination.

Section 2.03 Allocation Conventions.

(a) All Taxes allocated pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be allocated in accordance with the Closing of the Books Method; provided, however, that if applicable Tax Law does not permit a SpinCo Group member to close its Tax Period on the Distribution Date, the Tax attributable to the operations of the members of the SpinCo Group for any Pre-Distribution Period shall be the Tax computed using the Closing of the Books Method; provided further, that any and all Taxes reported, or required to be reported, on a SpinCo Separate Return, or a Tax Return of a member of the LogMeIn Group to the extent attributable to a member of the SpinCo Group, under Section 951(a) of the Code that, in either case, are attributable to items recognized for a Pre-Distribution Period (determined as though the Tax Period of each controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code) giving rise to such items ended on the Distribution Date) shall be allocated to Citrix, and that any such Taxes that, in either case, are attributable to items recognized for a Post-Distribution Period (determined as though the Tax Period of each controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code) giving rise to such items ended on the Distribution Date) shall be allocated to SpinCo;

(b) Any Tax Item of SpinCo, RMT Parent, or any member of their respective Groups arising from a transaction engaged in outside of the ordinary course of business on the Distribution Date after the Distribution Effective Time shall be properly allocable to SpinCo and any such transaction by or with respect to SpinCo, RMT Parent, or any member of their respective Groups occurring after the Distribution Effective Time (including the Merger) shall be treated for all Tax purposes (to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law) as occurring at the beginning of the day following the Distribution Date in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-76(b).

Section 2.04 Transfer Taxes. Any Transfer Taxes attributable to the Internal Reorganization or the Contribution, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Taxes that are triggered as a result of the Distribution, shall be allocated solely to Citrix.

Section 3.01 Joint Returns.

(a) Citrix shall prepare and file, or to cause to be prepared and filed, all Joint Returns, and each member of the SpinCo Group to which any such Joint Return relates shall execute and file such consents, elections and other documents as Citrix may determine, after consulting with RMT Parent in good faith, are required or appropriate, or otherwise requested by Citrix (unless such an election would be binding on any member of the LogMeIn Group for any Tax Period beginning on or after the Distribution) in connection with the filing of such Joint Return.

With respect to any Straddle Period Tax Return that RMT Parent has the obligation and right to prepare, or cause to be prepared, under this Section 3, such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with Past Practices used by the members of the Citrix Group and the members of the SpinCo Group prior to the Distribution Date with respect to such Tax Return (unless the

 

14


Parties jointly determine that there is not at least “substantial authority,” within the meaning of Section 6662(d)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) (“Substantial Authority”), for the use of such Past Practices); provided, however, that, to the extent any items, methods or positions are not covered by Past Practices (or in the event the Parties jointly determine that there is not Substantial Authority for the use of such Past Practices), such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by RMT Parent.

(b) Consistency with Tax-Free Status.

(i) The Parties shall report the Internal Reorganization in the manner determined by Citrix; provided that Citrix communicates its treatment of the Internal Reorganization to RMT Parent, determined after considering in good faith any reasonable comments received in writing from RMT Parent relating thereto, no fewer than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account any applicable extensions) for filing an applicable Tax Return that reflects the Internal Reorganization; provided further that the Parties shall report the Internal Transactions consistent with the treatment thereof in a Tax Opinion if such Tax Opinion is at a comfort level of “more likely than not” or higher, in each case unless, and then only to the extent, an alternative position is required pursuant to a Final Determination.

(ii) The Parties shall report the Contribution, the Distribution and the Merger consistent with the treatment thereof in the Tax Opinions, taking into account the jurisdiction in which such Tax Returns are filed, unless, and then only to the extent, an alternative position is required pursuant to a Final Determination.

(c) SpinCo Separate Returns and Joint Returns.

(i) With respect to any SpinCo Separate Return or Joint Return for which Citrix is responsible for preparing pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that the positions taken on such Tax Return would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Tax position of any member of the LogMeIn Group, Citrix shall submit a draft of the portion of such Tax Return that relates solely to the business of any SpinCo Group member to RMT Parent at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions), and RMT Parent shall have the right to review such portion of such Tax Return, and to submit to Citrix any reasonable changes to such portion of such Tax Return no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Citrix from timely filing (or causing to be timely filed) such Tax Return. The Parties agree to consult and to attempt to resolve in good faith any issues arising as a result of the review of any such Tax Return.

(ii) With respect to any SpinCo Separate Return for a Straddle Period, that RMT Parent is responsible for preparing pursuant to this Agreement, RMT Parent shall submit a draft of such Tax Return to Citrix at least thirty (30) days

 

15


prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions), and Citrix shall have the right to review such Tax Return, and to submit to RMT Parent any reasonable changes to such Tax Return no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent RMT Parent from timely filing (or causing to be timely filed) such Tax Return. The Parties agree to consult and to attempt to resolve in good faith any issues arising as a result of the review of any such Tax Return.

Section 3.05 Protective Section 336(e) Election.

(a) The Parties hereby agree to make a timely protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code and Treasury Regulations § 1.336-2(j) (and any similar provision of applicable state or local Tax Law) for each member of the SpinCo Group that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes with respect to the Distribution (the “Protective Section 336(e) Election”) in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.336-2(h). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) this Section 3.05(a) is intended to constitute a written, binding agreement to make the Protective Section 336(e) Election within the meaning of Treasury Regulations § 1.336-2(h)(1)(i), and (ii) it is intended that the Protective Section 336(e) Election will have no effect unless, pursuant to a Final Determination, the Distribution is treated as a “qualified stock disposition” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations § 1.336-1(b)(6).

(b) Cooperation and Reporting. Citrix and the LogMeIn Parties shall cooperate in making the Protective Section 336(e) Election, including filing any statements, amending any Tax Returns or undertaking such other actions reasonably necessary to carry out the Protective Section 336(e) Election. Citrix and RMT Parent shall jointly determine the “Aggregate Deemed Asset Disposition Price” and the “Adjusted Grossed-Up Basis” (each as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations) and the allocation of such Aggregate Deemed Asset Disposition Price and Adjusted Grossed-Up Basis among the disposition date assets of SpinCo and its Subsidiaries, each in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 336(e) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (the “Section 336(e) Allocation Statement”). To the extent the Protective Section 336(e) Election becomes effective, each Party agrees not to take any position (and to cause each of its Affiliates not to take any position) that is inconsistent with the Protective Section 336(e) Election, including the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement, on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Contest or for any other Tax purposes (in each case, excluding any position taken for financial accounting purposes), except as may be required by a Final Determination.

(c) Tax Benefit Payment by RMT Parent. In the event that the Contribution and/or the Distribution fail to qualify for Tax-Free Status and Citrix is not entitled to indemnification for one hundred percent (100%) of any Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses arising from such failure, Citrix shall be entitled to quarterly payments from RMT Parent equal to the Section 336(e) Tax Benefit Percentage of the actual Tax savings if, as and when realized by the LogMeIn Group arising from the step up in Tax basis (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such step up attributable to payments made pursuant to this Section 3.05(c)) resulting from the Protective Section 336(e) Election, determined on a “with and without” basis (treating any deductions or amortization attributable to the step up in Tax basis resulting from the Protective 336(e) Election,

 

16


or any other recovery of such step up, as the last items claimed for any taxable year, including after the utilization of any available net operating loss carryforwards); provided, however, that such payments: (i) shall be reduced by all reasonable costs incurred by any member of the LogMeIn Group to amend any Tax Returns or other governmental filings related to such Protective Section 336(e) Election; and (ii) shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the amount of any Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses incurred by Citrix (not taking into account this Section 3.05(c)) as a result of such failure for which Citrix is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and (B) the amount of any Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses that Citrix would have incurred for which Citrix would not have been entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if this Section 3.05 had not existed and no Protective Section 336(e) Election had been made.

Section 3.06 Consolidated or Combined Tax Returns. SpinCo will elect and join, and will cause its respective Affiliates to elect and join, in filing any Joint Returns that Citrix determines are required to be filed or that Citrix elects to file, in each case pursuant to Section 3.01(a) and subject to the limitations therein.

Section 3.07 SpinCo Carrybacks and Claims for Refund.

(a) The LogMeIn Parties hereby agree that, unless Citrix consents in writing (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) or as required by Law, (i) no SpinCo Entity (nor its successors) shall file any Adjustment Request with respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period and (ii) any available elections to waive the right to claim in any Pre-Distribution Period with respect to any Tax Return any SpinCo Carryback arising in a Post-Distribution Period shall be made, and no affirmative election shall be made to claim any such SpinCo Carryback. In the event that SpinCo (or the appropriate member of the SpinCo Group) is prohibited by applicable Law from waiving or otherwise forgoing a SpinCo Carryback or Citrix consents to a SpinCo Carryback (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), Citrix shall cooperate with SpinCo, at SpinCo’s expense, in seeking from the appropriate Tax Authority such Tax Benefit as reasonably would result from such SpinCo Carryback, to the extent that such Tax Benefit is directly attributable to such SpinCo Carryback, and shall pay over to SpinCo the amount of such Tax Benefit within ten (10) days after such Tax Benefit is recognized; provided, however, that SpinCo shall indemnify and hold the members of the Citrix Group harmless from and against any and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such SpinCo Carryback, including, without limitation, the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by a member of the Citrix Group if (i) such Tax Attributes expire unused, but would have been utilized but for such SpinCo Carryback, or (ii) the use of such Tax Attributes is postponed to a later Tax Period than the Tax Period in which such Tax Attributes would have been used but for such SpinCo Carryback.

(b) Citrix hereby agrees that, unless RMT Parent consents in writing (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) or as required by Law, no member of the Citrix Group shall file any Adjustment Request with respect to any Tax Return for a SpinCo Entity if the result could reasonably be expected to change the Tax liability of any member of the LogMeIn Group for any Tax Period.

 

17


Section 3.08 Apportionment of Tax Attributes.

(a) Tax Attributes arising in a Pre-Distribution Period will be allocated to (and the benefits and burdens of such Tax Attributes will inure to) the members of the Citrix Group and the members of the SpinCo Group in accordance with the Code, Treasury Regulations, and any other applicable Tax Law, and, in the absence of controlling legal authority or unless otherwise provided under this Agreement, Tax Attributes shall be allocated to the legal entity that created such Tax Attributes.

(b) On or before the first anniversary of the Distribution Date, Citrix shall deliver to RMT Parent its determination in writing of the portion, if any, of any earnings and profits, Tax Attributes, overall foreign loss or other affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary, fiscal unity or other group basis Tax Attribute which is allocated or apportioned to the members of the SpinCo Group under applicable Tax Law and this Agreement (“Proposed Allocation”). RMT Parent shall have sixty (60) days to review the Proposed Allocation and provide Citrix any comments with respect thereto. If RMT Parent either provides no comments or provides comments to which Citrix agrees in writing, such resulting determination will become final (“Final Allocation”). If RMT Parent provides comments to the Proposed Allocation and Citrix does not agree, the Final Allocation will be determined in accordance with Section 13. All members of the Citrix Group and LogMeIn Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance the Final Allocation. In the event of an adjustment to the earnings and profits, any Tax Attributes, overall foreign loss or other affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary, fiscal unity or other group basis attribute, Citrix shall promptly notify RMT Parent in writing of such adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, Citrix shall not be liable to any member of the LogMeIn Group for any failure of any determination under this Section 3.08(b) to be accurate under applicable Tax Law; provided such determination was made in good faith.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent that the amount of any Tax Attribute is later reduced or increased by a Tax Authority or Tax Proceeding, such reduction or increase shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was allocated pursuant to Section 3.08(a), as agreed by the Parties.

Section 3.09 Citrix Equity Awards. To the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, Income Tax deductions with respect to the exercise, vesting or settlement after the Distribution Date of Citrix Equity Awards (including Citrix Equity Awards held by any current or former director, officer, employee or consultant of the LogMeIn Group) shall be claimed solely by Citrix; provided, however, that if Citrix is not permitted under applicable Tax Law to claim Income Tax deductions with respect to the exercise, vesting or settlement after the Distribution Date of Citrix Equity Awards held by any current or former director, officer, employee or consultant of the LogMeIn Group, SpinCo or RMT Parent or one of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall claim such Income Tax deductions and promptly pay Citrix an amount equal to the Tax Benefit realized or reasonably expected to be realized within the current Tax Period attributable to such Income Tax deductions. Citrix shall (i) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, all applicable Tax reporting obligations of any member of the Citrix Group or the LogMeIn Group with respect to the exercise, vesting or settlement after the Distribution Date of Citrix Equity Awards, and (ii) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, all liabilities for Taxes of any member of the Citrix Group or the LogMeIn Group imposed in connection with the exercise, vesting or settlement after the Distribution Date of Citrix Equity Awards (including the employer portion of any employment Taxes).

Section 4.02 Adjustments Resulting in Underpayments. In the case of any adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination with respect to any Tax, the Party to which such Tax is allocated pursuant to this Agreement shall pay to the applicable Tax Authority when due any additional Tax required to be paid as a result of such adjustment.

Section 4.03 Indemnification Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01 with respect to SpinCo Separate Returns prepared by Citrix but required to be filed by a member of the LogMeIn Group under applicable Tax Law or as provided in Section 6.05(b), if any Party (the “Payor”) is required under applicable Tax Law to pay to a Tax Authority a Tax that another Party (the “Required Party”) is liable for under this Agreement, the Required Party shall reimburse the Payor within twenty (20) Business Days of delivery by the Payor to the Required Party of an invoice for the amount due, accompanied by evidence of payment and a statement detailing the Taxes paid and describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. The reimbursement shall include interest on the Tax payment computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the date of the Payor’s payment to the Tax Authority to the date of reimbursement by the Required Party under this Section 4.03.

If and to the extent any Distribution Taxes are determined regarding the failure of the Tax-Free Status of the Internal Transactions, the Contribution or the Distribution, the Party allocated responsibility for Tax-Related Losses associated with such Distribution Taxes under Section 2.01 shall pay such Tax-Related Losses to Citrix (if such responsible Party is RMT Parent) or RMT Parent (if such responsible Party is Citrix) within 5 (five) days after written demand therefor.

(b) All indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be made by Citrix directly to RMT Parent and by RMT Parent directly to Citrix; provided, however, that if the Parties mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification payment, any member of the

 

19


Citrix Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any member of the LogMeIn Group, on the other hand, and vice versa. All indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be treated in the manner described in Section 12.

Section 5. Tax Refunds. Citrix shall be entitled (subject to the limitations provided in Section 3.07) to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for which Citrix is liable hereunder, and RMT Parent shall be entitled (subject to the limitations provided in Section 3.07) to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for which the LogMeIn Parties are liable hereunder. A Party receiving a refund to which another Party is entitled hereunder shall pay over such refund to such other Party within twenty (20) Business Days after such refund is received (together with interest computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the date the refund was received to the date the refund was paid over).

(a) If RMT Parent notifies Citrix that it or SpinCo desires to take one of the actions described in Section 6.02(b) (a “Notified Action”), Citrix shall cooperate with RMT Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain a Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting RMT Parent or SpinCo, as applicable, to take the Notified Action unless Citrix shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. If such a Ruling is to be sought, Citrix shall apply for such ruling and Citrix and RMT Parent shall jointly control the process of obtaining such Ruling. In no event shall Citrix be required to file any request for a Ruling under this Section 6.04(a) unless RMT Parent represents that (i) it has read such request, and (ii) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the LogMeIn Group, contained in such request documents are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete. RMT Parent shall reimburse Citrix for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Citrix Group in connection with such cooperation within thirty (30) Business Days after receiving an invoice from Citrix therefor.

(b) Citrix shall have the right to obtain a Ruling or tax opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If Citrix determines to obtain a Ruling or tax opinion, the LogMeIn Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate with Citrix and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Citrix in connection with obtaining the Ruling or tax opinion (including, without limitation, by making any reasonable representation or covenant or providing any materials or information requested by the IRS or any Tax Advisor; provided that the LogMeIn Parties shall not be required to make (or cause any member of the LogMeIn Group

 

23


to make) any representation or covenant that is untrue or inconsistent with historical facts, or as to future matters or events over which they have no control). Citrix shall reimburse RMT Parent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the LogMeIn Group in connection with such cooperation within thirty (30) Business Days after receiving an invoice from RMT Parent therefor.

(c) Except as provided in Sections 6.04(a) and (b), following the Distribution Effective Time, neither of the LogMeIn Parties shall, nor shall either of the LogMeIn Parties permit any of their respective Affiliates to, seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Tax Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, or the Distribution (including the impact of any transaction on the Tax-Free Status of the Internal Transactions, the Contribution or the Distribution) without obtaining Citrix’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 6.05 Liability for Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or the Merger Agreement to the contrary (and in each case regardless of whether a Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion or waiver described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 6.02(b) may have been provided), the LogMeIn Parties shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Citrix and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses that are attributable to or result from any one or more of the following: (A) the acquisition following the Merger of all or a portion of either or both of the LogMeIn Parties’ stock and/or of the SpinCo Group’s assets by any means whatsoever by any Person, (B) any negotiations, understandings, agreements or arrangements by either or both of the LogMeIn Parties or any other member of their respective Groups with respect to transactions or events (including stock issuances, whether pursuant to the exercise of stock options or otherwise, option grants, capital contributions or acquisitions, or a series of such transactions or events), other than the Merger, that cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan (which plan may include the Merger) pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of either or both of the LogMeIn Parties representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest therein, as applicable, (C) any action or failure to act by either or both of the LogMeIn Parties or any other member of their respective Groups after the Distribution (including any amendment to any such Person’s certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), whether through a shareholder vote or otherwise) affecting the voting rights of either or both of the LogMeIn Parties’ stock (including through the conversion of one class of Capital Stock of SpinCo or RMT Parent into another class of Capital Stock of SpinCo or RMT Parent, but not including the composition of the Parent Board (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as contemplated by Section 2.07 of the Merger Agreement), (D) any act or failure to act by either or both of the LogMeIn Parties or any other member of their respective Groups that would affect the Tax-Free Status (regardless whether such act or failure to act may be covered by a Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion or waiver described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 6.02(b)), other than entering into the Merger, or (E) any breach or inaccuracy by either or both of the LogMeIn Parties or any other member of their respective Groups of their covenants and representations herein; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an acquisition described in clause (A) of this

 

24


Section 6.05(a) that neither of the LogMeIn Parties nor any other member of their respective Groups had the right to prohibit from occurring, the LogMeIn Parties shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Citrix and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, only fifty percent (50%), instead of one hundred percent (100%), of any Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses attributable to or resulting from such acquisition.

(b) RMT Parent shall pay Citrix the amount of any Distribution Taxes for which the LogMeIn Parties are responsible under this Section 6.05 as a result of a Final Determination no later than two (2) Business Days after the date such Distribution Taxes are determined as a result of a Final Determination to be due.

Section 7. Assistance and Cooperation.

Section 7.01 Assistance and Cooperation.

(a) The Parties shall cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) with each other and with each other’s agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to the Parties and their Affiliates including (i) preparation and filing of Tax Returns, (ii) determining the liability for and amount of any Taxes due (including estimated Taxes) or the right to and amount of any refund of Taxes, (iii) examinations of Tax Returns, and (iv) any administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of Taxes assessed or proposed to be assessed. Such cooperation shall include making all information and documents in their possession relating to any other Party and its Affiliates reasonably available to such other Party as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement. Each of the Parties shall also make available to any other Party, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, directors, employees and agents of the Parties or their respective Affiliates) responsible for preparing, maintaining, and interpreting information and documents relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. The LogMeIn Parties and each other member of their respective Groups shall cooperate with Citrix and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Citrix in connection with obtaining the Tax Opinions (including, without limitation, by making any new representation or covenant, confirming any previously made representation or covenant or providing any materials or information requested by any Tax Advisor; provided that none of SpinCo, RMT Parent or any other member of their respective Groups shall be required to make or confirm any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control).

(b) Any information or documents provided under this Section 7 shall be kept confidential by the Party receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (i) neither Citrix nor any Citrix Affiliate shall be required to provide SpinCo, RMT Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person access to or copies of any information, documents or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information, documents or procedures that relate solely to a member of the SpinCo Group or to the SpinCo Business, (ii) neither

 

25


SpinCo, RMT Parent nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to provide Citrix or any Citrix Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information, documents or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information, documents or procedures that relate solely to a member of the Citrix Group or to the Citrix Business, (iii) in no event shall Citrix or any Citrix Affiliate be required to provide SpinCo, RMT Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person access to or copies of any information or documents if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege and (iv) in no event shall SpinCo, RMT Parent or any of their respective Affiliates be required to provide Citrix or any Citrix Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information or documents if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In addition, in the event that Citrix determines that the provision of any information or documents to SpinCo, RMT Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, or SpinCo or RMT Parent determines that the provision of any information or documents to Citrix or any Citrix Affiliate, could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit each other’s compliance with its obligations under this Section 7 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

Section 7.02 Tax Return Information. Each of Citrix, SpinCo and RMT Parent, and each member of their respective Groups, acknowledges that time is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made pursuant to Section 7.01 or this Section 7.02. Each of Citrix, SpinCo and RMT Parent, and each member of their respective Groups, acknowledges that failure to conform to the reasonable deadlines set by the Party making such request could cause irreparable harm. Each Party shall provide to the other Parties information and documents relating to its Group reasonably required by the other Parties to prepare Tax Returns, including any pro forma returns required by the Responsible Party for purposes of preparing such Tax Returns. Any information or documents the Responsible Party requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such form as the Responsible Party reasonably requests and at or prior to the time reasonably specified by the Responsible Party so as to enable the Responsible Party to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis.

Section 7.03 Reliance by Citrix. If any member of the LogMeIn Group supplies information to a member of the Citrix Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the Citrix Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the Citrix Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of RMT Parent (or any officer of SpinCo or RMT Parent as designated by the chief financial officer of RMT Parent), shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

Section 7.04 Reliance by the LogMeIn Parties. If any member of the Citrix Group supplies information to a member of the LogMeIn Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the LogMeIn Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the LogMeIn Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of Citrix (or any officer of Citrix as designated by the chief financial officer of Citrix) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

 

26


Section 7.05 Internal Transactions. The LogMeIn Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) reasonably cooperate with Citrix and take any and all commercially reasonable actions requested by Citrix to minimize any Taxes otherwise payable by the Citrix Group in connection with the Internal Transactions.

Section 8. Tax Records.

Section 8.01 Retention of Tax Records. Each of Citrix and SpinCo shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and activities of its Group for Pre-Distribution Periods, and Citrix shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Citrix and SpinCo Groups for Pre-Distribution Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may be or become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) seven (7) years after the Distribution Date (such later date, the “Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each of Citrix and SpinCo may dispose of such Tax Records upon sixty (60) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Parties. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) Citrix or SpinCo reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section 8 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Parties agree, then such first Party may dispose of such Tax Records upon sixty (60) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Parties. Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Parties shall have the opportunity, at their cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such sixty (60) Business Day period, all or any part of such Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, a Party or any of its Affiliates determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then such program or system may be decommissioned or discontinued upon ninety (90) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Party and the other Party shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy, within such ninety (90) Business Day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system.

Section 8.02 Access to Tax Records. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession pertaining to (i) in the case of any Tax Return of the Citrix Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the SpinCo Group or the LogMeIn Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) in the case of any Tax Return of the SpinCo Group or the LogMeIn Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the Citrix Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement, and shall permit the other Parties and their Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Tax Authority or other Tax auditor direct access, at the cost and expense of the requesting Party, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Party in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement.

 

27


Section 8.03 Preservation of Privilege. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall not provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing prior to the Distribution Date to which Privilege may reasonably be asserted without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 9. Tax Contests.

Section 9.01 Notice. Each of Citrix, SpinCo and RMT Parent shall provide prompt notice to the other Parties of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware related to Taxes for Tax Periods for which it is indemnified by another Party hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify another Party hereunder, or otherwise relating to the Tax-Free Status or the Internal Reorganization (including the resolution of any Tax Contest relating thereto). Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters. If an indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such Party fails to give the indemnifying Party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability and the indemnifying Party is entitled under this Agreement to contest the asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the indemnifying Party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if the indemnifying Party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a material monetary detriment to the indemnifying Party, then any amount which the indemnifying Party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

Section 9.02 Control of Tax Contests.

(a) Citrix Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Citrix shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to any Tax matters relating to (i) a Joint Return, (ii) any member of the Citrix Group, (iii) any member of the SpinCo Group relating to a Pre-Distribution Period and (iv) Distribution Taxes. Subject to Sections 9.02(c) and (d), Citrix shall have reasonable discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any such Tax Contest relating to a SpinCo Separate Return for a Straddle Period, and absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any other such Tax Contest.

(b) RMT Parent Control. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02, RMT Parent shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to any member of the SpinCo Group to the extent related solely to any Post-Distribution Period. Subject to Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(d), RMT Parent shall have absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any such Tax Contest.

 

28


(c) Settlement Rights. The Controlling Party shall have the sole right to contest, litigate, compromise and settle any Tax Contest without obtaining the prior consent of the Non-Controlling Party; provided, that to the extent any such Tax Contest may give rise to a claim for indemnity by the Controlling Party or its Affiliates against the Non-Controlling Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement, the Controlling Party shall not settle any such Tax Contest without the Non-Controlling Party’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed and, in the case of a Tax Contest relating to Distribution Taxes, must take into account the reasonable likelihood of success of such Tax Contest on its merits without regard to the ability of the LogMeIn Parties to pay). Subject to Section 9.02(e), and unless waived by the Parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement: (i) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (ii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party copies of any written materials relating to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest received from any Tax Authority; (iii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (iv) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party and offer the Non-Controlling Party a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; and (v) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party. In the case of any Tax Contest described in this Section 9, “Controlling Party” means the Party entitled to control the Tax Contest under such Section and “Non-Controlling Party” means (x) Citrix if RMT Parent is the Controlling Party and (y) RMT Parent if Citrix is the Controlling Party.

(d) Tax Contest Participation. Subject to Section 9.02(e), and unless waived by the Parties in writing, the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with Tax Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest pursuant to which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement. The failure of the Controlling Party to provide any notice specified in this Section 9.02(d) to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

 

29


(e) Citrix Consolidated Federal Income Tax Return. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, in the case of a Tax Contest related to a Citrix Federal Consolidated Income Tax Return, the rights of the LogMeIn Parties and their Affiliates under Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(d) shall be limited in scope to the portion of such Tax Contest relating to Taxes for which the LogMeIn Parties may reasonably expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to Citrix under this Agreement.

(f) Power of Attorney. Each member of the LogMeIn Group shall execute and deliver to Citrix (or such member of the Citrix Group as Citrix shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by Citrix (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which Citrix is the Controlling Party) described in this Section 9. Each member of the Citrix Group shall execute and deliver to RMT Parent (or such member of the LogMeIn Group as RMT Parent shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by RMT Parent (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which RMT Parent is the Controlling Party) described in this Section 9.

Section 10. Effective Date. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, as between Citrix and SpinCo, this Agreement shall become effective upon the consummation of the Distribution, and as between Citrix, SpinCo and RMT Parent, this Agreement shall become effective upon the consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that solely for purposes of the definition of “SpinCo Business” on Schedule I, this Agreement shall become effective among Citrix and RMT Parent on the date hereof.

Section 11. Survival of Obligations. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.

Section 12. Tax Treatment of Payments.

Section 12.01 General Rule. Except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax Law or as otherwise agreed to among the Parties, any payment (other than interest thereon) made by Citrix or any member of the Citrix Group to RMT Parent or any member of the LogMeIn Group, or by RMT Parent or any member of the LogMeIn Group to Citrix or any member of the Citrix Group, pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that relates to Taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Distribution Date shall be treated by the Parties for all Tax purposes as a distribution by SpinCo to Citrix, or a capital contribution from Citrix to SpinCo, as the case may be, occurring immediately before the Distribution; provided, however, that any such payment that is made or received by a Person other than Citrix or SpinCo, as the case may be, shall be treated as if made or received by the payor or the recipient as agent for Citrix or SpinCo, in each case as appropriate; provided further that the treatment described in this Section 12.01 shall apply in each case only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws). No Party shall take any position inconsistent with the treatment described in the preceding sentence, and in the event that a Tax Authority asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such challenge.

 

30


Section 12.02 Interest. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent one Party makes a payment of interest to another Party under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Party receiving the interest payment made a payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date that the Party making the interest payment reimbursed the Party receiving the interest payment for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Party making such payment (deductible to the extent provided by Law) and as interest income by the Party receiving such payment (includible in income to the extent provided by Law). The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Party making such payment or increase in Tax to the Party receiving such payment.

Section 13. Dispute Resolution. Any and all Disputes arising hereunder shall be resolved through the procedures provided in Article VII of the Separation Agreement.

Section 14. General Provisions.

Section 14.01 Complete Agreement; Construction. This Agreement, together with the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; for the avoidance of doubt, the preceding clause shall apply to all other agreements, whether or not written, in respect of any Tax between or among any member or members of the Citrix Group, on the one hand, and any member or members of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, which agreements shall be of no further effect between the parties thereto and any rights or obligations existing thereunder shall be fully and finally settled, calculated as of the date hereof. Except as expressly set forth in the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement: (i) all matters relating to Taxes and Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, to the extent such matters are the subject of this Agreement, shall be governed exclusively by this Agreement; and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, with respect to such matters, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 14.02 Other Agreements. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 14.03 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in two or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise of any other right hereunder.

Exhibit 99.1

LogMeIn Announces Merger with Citrix’s GoTo Family of Products to Create Billion Dollar Industry Leader

Combined Entity will be a Leading SaaS Company with a Diverse and Innovative Product Portfolio

Expected First Year Post Close Pro Forma Revenue of $1+ Billion, Anticipated Adjusted EBITDA Margins of 35% in 2017, Anticipated Pro Forma 35%+ Free Cash Flow Accretion over Standalone LogMeIn after Realizing Run Rate Synergies

Run Rate Cost Synergies of $65 Million Expected in Year One and More than $100 Million Expected in Year Two

Bill Wagner, LogMeIn President and CEO, to Lead Combined Company

Citrix and LogMeIn Shareholders to Each Own Approximately 50% of Combined Company

LogMeIn Plans to Issue $1.50 per Share in Dividends to its Shareholders Prior to the Closing

BOSTON and SANTA CLARA, CA – July 26, 2016 – LogMeIn, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOGM) and Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) today announced that the companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement for LogMeIn to combine with Citrix’s GoTo business in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. The transaction is valued at approximately $1.8 billion based on shares to be issued and LogMeIn’s closing price of $65.31 as of July 25, 2016. The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of Citrix and LogMeIn, is expected to be tax-free to Citrix and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The combined company is expected to have annual revenues in excess of $1 billion with more than two million customers in virtually every country around the globe. Upon completion of the transaction, the combined company is expected to achieve run rate cost synergies for the benefit of both Citrix and LogMeIn shareholders of $65 million within the first year post-close, and run rate cost synergies of more than $100 million in year two.

The combination brings together proven innovators with a shared belief in simplifying the way people connect to customers, colleagues and the world around them. The GoTo family of products delivers collaborative communication solutions for small and medium sized businesses and has strong global brand recognition through leading products including GoToAssist, GoToMeeting, GoToMyPC, GoToTraining, GoToWebinar, Grasshopper and OpenVoice. LogMeIn, a leading provider of cloud-based connectivity, has rapidly attracted millions of users and thousands of leading businesses to its popular and disruptive products, including join.me, LastPass, LogMeIn Rescue and BoldChat, among others.

Bill Wagner, President and CEO of LogMeIn, who will lead the combined company as President and CEO, commented, “We are extremely excited about this transformative merger and the profound benefits it will bring to our customers, our people and our shareholders. Both companies have passionate employees who are committed to developing easy-to-use software that simplifies the way we connect with people, devices, apps and products. The additional scale of the combined company will allow us to accelerate innovation in order to deliver better outcomes for our customers and also creates a compelling financial model that will reward our shareholders.”


Kirill Tatarinov, President and Chief Executive Officer of Citrix, said, “We believe this combination is a winning outcome for all parties. Both LogMeIn and GoTo have a shared goal of developing innovative solutions to exceed customer expectations by simplifying business and personal communications. Given that we have already been working towards a spinoff of GoTo, we expect this to be a smooth transition for the business. From Citrix’s perspective, this transaction will allow us to further enhance our strategic focus, operational efficiency and accelerate execution of our strategy to provide the world’s best integrated technology services for secure delivery of apps and data.”

“We have great respect for Bill, the LogMeIn team and the company’s commitment to building great products that simplify how people connect,” said Bob Calderoni, Executive Chairman of Citrix. “When we announced plans to spin off our GoTo family of products last November, we emphasized the value creation opportunity for our shareholders. We believe this combination will accelerate that opportunity, further enhancing value for Citrix shareholders through the ownership of shares in the combined company. I also want to thank Chris Hylen, whose leadership as SVP and GM of the GoTo business, along with the tireless work of his team, has positioned GoTo for continued growth and success following its separation from Citrix.”

  A Leading SaaS Company With A Diverse Product Portfolio – Assets from both companies fill gaps in the respective product lines, resulting in better experiences and outcomes for our customers. In addition, the scale and stability of the combined company enables accelerated growth of the businesses in emerging verticals, which include cloud-based telephony and identity, as well as IoT.

 

  A Shared Focus On Innovation That Is Enhanced by Scale – The merger brings together the combined resources of each company to address the challenges customers face in the wake of compelling secular trends, including workforce mobility, rapid adoption of cloud-based applications and the proliferation of connected products.

 

  Talented Team Positioned To Capture Exciting Growth Opportunities Through a commitment to retaining the best talent from both companies, the new company will have a seasoned management team with a track record of driving growth, innovation, and shareholder value. The combined company’s Board will be comprised of experienced directors from both LogMeIn and Citrix who share a commitment to customer satisfaction and shareholder value creation.

 

  Powerful Financial Profile That Drives Long-Term Shareholder Value Shareholders are expected to benefit from the significant free cash flow generated as a result of synergy capture, and the scale of the combined company would enable us to take advantage of operational efficiencies over the longer term to continuously improve the company’s financial profile.

Financial Benefits of the Transaction

LogMeIn expects the combined company to have a strong financial profile, including:

 

    Pro Forma revenue of more than $1 billion

 

    Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 35%, after realizing year one run rate cost synergies of $65 million

 

    Pro Forma Free cash flow of more than $250 million (after year one run rate cost synergies)

 

    Anticipated Pro Forma 35%+ Free Cash Flow Accretion over Standalone LogMeIn (after year one run rate cost synergies)


The combined company is expected to achieve run rate cost synergies of more than $100 million within two years post-close.

Management, Governance and Headquarters

LogMeIn’s Bill Wagner will continue in his role as President and CEO, and LogMeIn’s Ed Herdiech will serve as Chief Financial Officer. Certain members of the GoTo management team are expected to join the combined company as well. The combined company will be headquartered in Boston.

Upon closing, the combined company’s Board of Directors will consist of nine directors: five current LogMeIn directors and four Citrix director appointees. Citrix’s four director appointees have proven expertise in driving operational efficiency and will include current Citrix directors Bob Calderoni, Jesse Cohn, and Peter Sacripanti, as well as Citrix’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, David Henshall. Michael Simon, former CEO and current Chairman of the Board of LogMeIn, will remain in place as Chairman of the combined company’s Board. Bill Wagner will also retain his Board seat. LogMeIn’s other three directors will be named at a later date.

The Board will form an Operating Committee upon the close of the transaction, which will consist of two LogMeIn directors and two Citrix directors, all of whom will be named at a later date, to oversee the realization of the full value of the identified synergies. Management and the Operating Committee intend to retain the services of a globally recognized consulting firm to advise on the capture of synergies.

Transaction Details

The combination of LogMeIn and Citrix’s GoTo family of products will be effected through a Reverse Morris Trust (RMT) transaction, pursuant to which Citrix has created a wholly owned subsidiary, or GetGo, to hold the GoTo business. Citrix will distribute that subsidiary to Citrix shareholders in either a spin-off or split-off transaction. Immediately thereafter, the GetGo subsidiary will be merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of LogMeIn, with GetGo surviving the merger and remaining as a wholly owned subsidiary of LogMeIn. The combination will result in Citrix equityholders receiving an aggregate of approximately 27.6 million LogMeIn shares on a fully diluted basis. Under the RMT structure, the transaction is expected to be tax-free to Citrix and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Immediately following the transaction, Citrix shareholders will own approximately 50.1% of all outstanding shares of the combined company on a fully diluted basis, while existing LogMeIn shareholders will own approximately 49.9% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

The issuance of shares by LogMeIn in connection with the transaction requires approval by LogMeIn shareholders, and the transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, including receipt of opinions of counsel with respect to the tax-free nature of the proposed transaction. In connection with the definitive agreement, Michael Simon, LogMeIn’s Chairman of the Board, who currently owns more than 3% of LogMeIn’s shares, has agreed to vote in favor of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2017.


In connection with approving the transaction, on July 26, 2016, LogMeIn’s Board of Directors also declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock. The special dividend will be paid on August 26, 2016 to shareholders of record on August 8, 2016. LogMeIn currently has approximately 25.3 million shares of common stock outstanding. As contemplated by the definitive agreement, the Company announced that it currently expects to declare an additional dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock prior to the consummation of the transaction and a final dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock subject to the consummation of the transaction, on or about the date of such consummation.
