The Company Stockholders acknowledge that Parent and Merger Sub will be entitled to conclusively rely upon, without independent investigation, any act, notice, instruction or communication of the Stockholder Representative as provided in this Section 10.1 as the acts of the Company Stockholders and will not be liable in any manner whatsoever for any of Parent or Merger Sub’s actions, as applicable, taken or not taken in reliance upon the acts or omissions or communications or writings given or executed by the Stockholder Representative.
(b) The Company’s stockholders agree that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, and are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Stockholder Representative and will survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Company’s stockholder. All decisions and actions by the Stockholder Representative will be binding upon the Company’s stockholders, and no Company stockholder will have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Stockholder Representative will have no duties or obligations hereunder except those specifically set forth herein and such duties and obligations will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. The Company’s stockholders will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative against all Liabilities incurred by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the performance of his, her or its duties as the Stockholder Representative, including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding to which the Stockholder Representative is made a party by reason of the fact that the Stockholder Representative is or was acting as the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement.

Investment Representation Statement Unless the rights under this Warrant are exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Shares with respect to which the Warrant was exercised, it shall be a condition to any exercise of the rights under this Warrant that the Holder shall have confirmed to the satisfaction of the Company in writing, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, that the Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that the Holder shall have confirmed such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

In the event of the death, resignation or removal of the Shareholder Representative, a new Shareholder Representative shall be appointed by a vote of Majority Holders, such appointment to become effective upon the written acceptance thereof by the new Shareholder Representative. Any failure by the Majority Holders to appoint a new Shareholder Representative upon the death, resignation or removal of the Shareholder Representative shall not have the effect of releasing the Shareholders from any liability under this Agreement.
(b) The Shareholder Representative shall have such powers and authority as are necessary to carry out the functions assigned to the Shareholder Representative under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative will have no obligation to act on behalf of the Shareholders, except as expressly provided herein. The Shareholder Representative will at all times be entitled to rely on any directions received from the Majority Holders. The Shareholder Representative shall, at the expense of the Shareholders, be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as they shall deem necessary in connection with exercising their powers and performing their function hereunder and (in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Shareholder Representative) shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons.
(c) The Shareholder Representative shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of its services hereunder, but shall be entitled to the reimbursement by the Shareholders of all his, her or its fees and expenses incurred as the Shareholder Representative pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. In connection with this Agreement, and any instrument, agreement or document relating hereto or thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Shareholder Representative hereunder, the Shareholder Representative shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any Shareholder by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or any such other agreement, instrument or document, excepting only responsibility for any act or failure to act which represents willful misconduct. Each Shareholder shall indemnify, pro rata based upon such holder's percentage interest, the Shareholder Representative against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys', accountants' and other experts' or consultant's fees and the amount of any judgment against the Shareholder Representative, of any nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with any claim, investigation, challenge, action or proceeding or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of the Shareholder Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the event of any action or proceeding which finally adjudicates the liability of the Shareholder Representative hereunder for his or her gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event of any indemnification hereunder, upon written notice from Shareholder Representative to the Shareholders as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such indemnification amount, each such holder shall promptly deliver to the Shareholder Representative full payment of his or her ratable share of the amount of such deficiency, in accordance with such Shareholder's percentage interest. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any reimbursement or indemnification of the Shareholder Representative.
(d) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Shareholder Representative under this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Shareholder hereby acknowledges that the Company shall not have any responsibility or obligation whatsoever to any such Shareholder or to any other party with respect to or arising out of any actions taken or any inaction by the Shareholder Representative.
(f) The Company shall have the right to rely conclusively upon all instructions, requests, consents, elections and other actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement and any instrument, agreement or document relating hereto, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon all the Shareholders.

Effective upon the approval of this Agreement by the Stockholders, the Stockholders individually shall have no power or authority to take any actions against AvantGo or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and all actions of the Stockholders, whether pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, must be taken solely by the Stockholders' Representative. In the event of the death or written resignation (delivered to AvantGo and the Escrow Agent) as Stockholders' Representative of, or refusal to act as Stockholders' Representative by, Xxxxx Xxx-Xxxxxx, the Stockholders hereby appoint Xxxx Xxx- Xxxxxx to serve as the successor Stockholders' Representative hereunder.
