(iv) If, on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Pumatech Common Stock or Synchrologic capital stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, split-up, stock dividend or stock combination, then the Exchange Ratio, the Total Consideration Shares, the Minimum Consideration Shares and the Maximum Consideration Shares shall be correspondingly adjusted.
(d) Synchrologic Stock Options. At the Effective Time, all then outstanding options granted under the Synchrologic Stock Option Plans (as defined in Section 3.2(a) below), whether vested or unvested (“Synchrologic Options”), to purchase Synchrologic Common Stock issued by Synchrologic will be assumed by Pumatech in accordance with Section 6.3. Concurrently with the assumption of the Synchrologic Options by Pumatech, all Synchrologic Options that then remain unvested will immediately and fully vest, with no further action required by Synchrologic, Pumatech or the holders of such Synchrologic Options. All of the Synchrologic Options issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement are listed on, and are subject to the vesting schedules set forth on, Schedule 2.1(d) of the Synchrologic Disclosure Schedules.

Prior to the Closing Date, Synchrologic shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain termination agreements, effective as of the Effective Time, from each of the holders of outstanding warrants to purchase Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock issued by Synchrologic (“Synchrologic Warrants”) in consideration of cash payments (the aggregate amount of such cash payments being, the “Warrant Termination Consideration”). All of the Synchrologic Warrants issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement are listed on Schedule 2.1(e) of the Synchrologic Disclosure Schedules, which includes the allocation of the Warrant Termination Consideration among the holders of Synchrologic Warrants. An updated Schedule 2.1(e) of Synchrologic Warrants shall be delivered by Synchrologic to Pumatech on the Closing Date. Any Synchrologic Warrants not terminated as of the Effective Time pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.1(e) shall be assumed by Pumatech in accordance with Section 6.4.
(a) At the Effective Time or such later time as determined in accordance with Section 2.3(b), Pumatech will, on behalf of the holders of Synchrologic Common Stock and Synchrologic Preferred Stock deposit in escrow certificates representing seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the Total Consideration Shares. Such shares shall be held in escrow on behalf of the persons who are the holders of Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Former Synchrologic Shareholders”), in accordance with the portion of Total Consideration Shares allocable to each such Former Synchrologic Shareholder based upon the Exchange Ratio (“Pro Rata Portion”). Such shares (collectively, the “Escrow Shares”) shall be held and applied pursuant to the provisions of an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Escrow Agreement”) to be executed pursuant to Section 7.5. All calculations to determine the number of Escrow Shares to be delivered by each Former Synchrologic Shareholder into escrow as aforesaid shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(b) If, as of the Effective Time, more than ten percent (10%) of Synchrologic’s then issued and outstanding capital stock are Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.3(a) hereof), then Pumatech will, at the Effective Time, deposit in a separate escrow (the “Dissenters’ Escrow”), on behalf of the Former Synchrologic Shareholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, additional certificates representing the number of Total Consideration Shares determined by dividing (A) the Dissenters’ Excess Reserve Amount (as defined below) by (B) the Average Closing Price (the “Dissenters’ Escrow Shares”). After payment of $6,000,000 in aggregate cash consideration to the holders of Dissenting Shares, Pumatech shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to liquidate the Dissenters’ Escrow Shares at such times and in such amounts as it shall determine is necessary to pay to the holders of Dissenting Shares the fair market value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Article 13 of Georgia Law. Upon the earlier of (i) satisfaction in full of all the rights granted to holders of Dissenting Shares under Article 13 of Georgia Law,

or (ii) waiver or withdrawal of dissenters’ rights by one or more holders of Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock such that the number of Dissenting Shares is reduced to ten percent (10%) or less of Synchrologic’s outstanding capital stock as of the Effective Time, any shares of Pumatech Common Stock and/or any cash proceeds thereof remaining in the Dissenters’ Escrow shall be distributed to the Former Synchrologic Shareholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions of the Dissenters’ Escrow. For purposes of this Agreement, “Dissenters’ Excess Reserve Amount” means fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which (A) the Aggregate Dissenting Shares Transaction Value (as defined below) exceeds (B) $6,000,000. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Aggregate Dissenting Shares Transaction Value” shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Pumatech Common Stock that would have been issued in the Merger in consideration of the Dissenting Shares had the holders thereof not exercised their dissenters’ rights, in each case based on the Exchange Ratio applicable to each class and/or series of Synchrologic capital stock comprising the Dissenting Shares by (B) the Average Closing Price. At the Closing, Synchrologic shall provide Pumatech a schedule of Dissenting Shares, which shall reflect the names of the holders of such Dissenting Shares and Synchrologic’s calculation of the Aggregate Dissenting Shares Transaction Value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pumatech shall not enter into any settlement of dissenters’ rights or otherwise make any payment in consideration of Dissenting Shares without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Section 2.3 Dissenting Shares.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock held by a holder who has exercised such holder’s dissenters’ rights in accordance with Article 13 of Georgia Law, and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenters’ rights (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive Pumatech Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1, but the holder of the Dissenting Shares shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted to dissenting shareholders by Georgia Law.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a), if any holder of shares of Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock who demands his, her or its dissenters’ rights with respect to such shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his, her or its rights to receive payment for the fair market value of such shares under Georgia Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive Pumatech Common Stock as provided in Section 2.1(c) upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares; provided that if such holder effectively withdraws or loses his, her or its right to receive payment for the fair market value of such shares after the Effective Time, then, at such time Pumatech will deposit in the escrow created pursuant to the Escrow Agreement additional certificates representing such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Shares.
(c) Synchrologic shall give Pumatech (i) prompt notice of any written demands for payment with respect to any shares of capital stock of Synchrologic pursuant to Article 13 of Georgia Law, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Georgia Law and received by Synchrologic and (ii) the opportunity to participate at its own expense in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for dissenters’ rights under Georgia Law. Synchrologic shall not, except with the prior written consent of Pumatech, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for dissenters’ rights with respect to Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock or offer to settle or compromise any such demands.

Certificates held by such holder a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Pumatech Common Stock (other than the Escrow Shares) into which the Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock evidenced by the Certificates so surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to the provisions of Article II of this Agreement. The surrender of Certificates shall be accompanied by duly completed and executed Letters of Transmittal in such form as may be reasonably specified by Pumatech. Until surrendered, each outstanding Certificate, which prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock, shall be deemed for all corporate purposes from and after the Effective Time to evidence ownership of the number of whole shares of Pumatech Common Stock into which the shares of Synchrologic Common Stock have been converted but shall, subject to applicable dissenters’ rights under Georgia Law and Section 2.3 of this Agreement, have no other rights. Subject to applicable dissenters’ rights under Georgia Law and Section 2.3 of this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Synchrologic Common Stock and Synchrologic Preferred Stock shall cease to have any rights in respect of such shares and their rights shall be solely in respect of the Pumatech Common Stock into which such shares of Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock have been converted. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of Synchrologic of shares of Synchrologic Common Stock and Synchrologic Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(b) If any shares of Pumatech Common Stock are to be issued in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate(s) surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of such shares that (i) the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be transferable, and shall be properly assigned, endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, (ii) such transfer shall otherwise be proper and (iii) the person requesting such transfer shall pay Pumatech, or its exchange agent, any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the satisfaction of Pumatech that such taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Pumatech nor Synchrologic shall be liable to a holder of shares of Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock for shares of Pumatech Common Stock issuable to such holder pursuant to the provisions of Article II of this Agreement that are delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
(c) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Pumatech shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Pumatech Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to the provisions of Article II of the Agreement. The board of directors of Pumatech may in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide to Pumatech an indemnity agreement or bond against any claim that may be made against Pumatech with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
Section 2.5 Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Pumatech Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Pumatech Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Pumatech Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid with respect to such whole shares of Pumatech 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 surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Pumatech Common Stock.

PRECLOSING AND OTHER COVENANTS OF PUMATECH AND SUB
Section 6.1 Reservation of Pumatech Common Stock. Pumatech shall prior to the Effective Time reserve for issuance, out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, the maximum number of shares of Pumatech Common Stock as may be issuable upon consummation of the Merger.
Section 6.2 Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. Pumatech and Sub will use their reasonable commercial efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied all the conditions precedent which are set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.3, and Pumatech and Sub will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to obtain all consents and authorizations of third parties and to make all filings with, and give all notices to, third parties which may be necessary or reasonably required on its part in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.
(a) At the Effective Time, each Synchrologic Option outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Pumatech and deemed to constitute an option (a “Pumatech Option”) to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Synchrologic Option (except for any right of first refusal or repurchase provisions contained in the Synchrologic Option which shall cease to apply after the Effective Time), the same number of shares of Pumatech Common Stock as the holder of such Synchrologic Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded down to the nearest whole number), at a price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Synchrologic Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Synchrologic Option divided by (ii) the number of full shares of Pumatech Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Pumatech Option in accordance with the foregoing; provided, however, that, in the case of any Synchrologic Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies (“incentive stock options”), the option price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424(a) of the Code. Concurrently with the assumption of the Synchrologic Options by Pumatech at the Effective Time, all Synchrologic Options that then remain unvested will immediately and fully vest, with no further action required by Synchrologic, Pumatech or the holders of such Synchrologic Options. In connection with the assumption by Pumatech of the Synchrologic Options pursuant to this Section 6.3(a), Synchrologic shall be deemed to have assigned to Pumatech, effective at the Effective Time, Synchrologic’s right, if any, to repurchase unvested shares of Synchrologic Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Synchrologic Options or previously issued upon the exercise of options granted under the Synchrologic Option Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Synchrologic Option Plan and the related stock option agreements and stock purchase agreements entered into under the Synchrologic Option Plan.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time and in any event no later than the date required by the applicable Synchrologic Option Plan, Pumatech shall deliver to the participants in the Synchrologic Option Plan appropriate notice setting forth such participants’ rights pursuant thereto and the grants pursuant to the Synchrologic Option Plans shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject
A-36
Table of Contents
to the adjustments required by this Section 6.4 after giving effect to the Merger). Pumatech shall comply with the terms of the Synchrologic Option Plans and the parties intend that, to the extent required by, and subject to the provisions of, such Synchrologic Option Plan and Sections 422 and 424(a) of the Code, that Synchrologic Options which qualified as incentive stock options prior the Effective Time continue to qualify as incentive stock options after the Effective Time, and this provision shall be interpreted consistent with that intent.
(c) Prior to the Closing Date, Pumatech shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Pumatech Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Synchrologic Options assumed in accordance with this Section 6.3. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time and in any event no later than ten (10) business days after the Closing Date, Pumatech shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms) under the Securities Act or another appropriate form with respect to the shares of Pumatech Common Stock subject to such options and shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding.
Section 6.4 Warrants. At the Effective Time, each Synchrologic Warrant outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Pumatech and deemed to constitute a warrant (a “Pumatech Warrant”) to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Synchrologic Warrant, the same number of shares of Pumatech Common Stock as the holder of such Synchrologic Warrant would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded down to the nearest whole number), at a price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Synchrologic Common Stock or Synchrologic Preferred Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Synchrologic Warrant divided by (ii) the number of full shares of Pumatech Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Pumatech Warrant in accordance with the foregoing.
Section 6.5 Certain Employee Benefit Matters. From and after the Effective Time, all employees of Synchrologic who continue as employees of Pumatech or a Subsidiary of Pumatech at the Effective Time will be provided with employee benefits by the Surviving Corporation or Pumatech which in the aggregate are no less favorable to such employees than those provided from time to time by Pumatech to its similarly situated employees.

Section 10.4 Damage Threshold.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Former Synchrologic Shareholders shall have any liability under Section 10.1 and Pumatech may not receive any shares from the Escrow Fund unless and until an Officer’s Certificate or Certificates (as defined in Section 10.6 below) for an aggregate amount of Pumatech’s Damages in excess of $500,000 (the “Damages Threshold”) has been delivered to the Shareholders’ Agent and to the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that after an Officer’s Certificate or Certificates for an aggregate of $500,000 in Damages has been delivered, Pumatech shall be entitled (subject to the provisions of this Article X) to receive Escrow Shares equal in value to the full amount of Damages identified in such Officer’s Certificate or Certificates; and provided further, however, that the $500,000 threshold amount contemplated by this Section 10.4 shall not be applicable to claims made against the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.1(b) above, which claims shall be subject to indemnification and reimbursement on a first dollar basis. Additionally, claims made against the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.1(b) shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether the aggregate amount of Pumatech’s Damages exceeds the Damages Threshold.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Pumatech nor the Surviving Corporation shall have any liability under Section 10.2 and the Synchrologic Indemnified Parties may not receive any indemnification or reimbursement of Damages unless and until an Agent’s Certificate or Certificates (as defined in Section 10.6 below) for an aggregate amount of Damages suffered by the Synchrologic Indemnified Parties in excess of the Damages Threshold have been delivered to Pumatech; provided, however, that after an Agent’s Certificate or Certificates for an aggregate amount exceeding the Damages Threshold has been delivered, the Synchrologic Indemnified Parties shall be entitled (subject to the provisions of this Article X) to receive indemnification or reimbursement in cash equal to the full amount of Damages identified in such Agent’s Certificate or Certificates.

(a) With respect to claims for Damages made by a Pumatech Indemnified Party, at the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Certificate shall concurrently be delivered to the Shareholders’ Agent (as defined in Section 10.10 below) and for a period of at least thirty (30) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery of Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 10.5 or 10.6, as applicable, unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholders’ Agent to make such delivery. After the later of (i) the expiration of the Escrow Period or (ii) the expiration of such minimum thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of the Escrow Shares in the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 10.6. If the Shareholders’ Agent shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent and to Pumatech prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following delivery of the Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders’ Agent, the disputed claim shall be resolved pursuant to Section 10.9 hereof.
(b) With respect to claims for Damages made by a Synchrologic Indemnified Party, after the later of (i) the expiration of the Escrow Period or (ii) the expiration of thirty (30) days following delivery of any Agent’s Certificate to Pumatech, Pumatech shall reimburse the Damages in accordance with Section 10.6.

A-49
Table of Contents
good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Shareholders’ Agent and Pumatech should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of claims against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. In the case of claims by a Pumatech Indemnified Party, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and shall distribute the Escrow Shares from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the memorandum. In the case of claims by a Synchrologic Indemnified Party, Pumatech shall pay or cause to be paid the agreed amount of such claim within two (2) business days of the parties’ execution of the memorandum.
(b) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Pumatech or the Shareholders’ Agent may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter. The parties agree that all disputed claims for Damages shall be resolved in a single arbitration commenced promptly following the date the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 10.9(a) above have been exhausted, unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days after the date the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 10.9(a) above have been exhausted, Pumatech (on the one hand) and the Shareholders’ Agent (on the other hand) shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate or Agent’s Certificate, as applicable, shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Section 10.5, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance with such decision.
(c) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Wilmington, Delaware under the commercial rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association, and the expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the prevailing party to the arbitration.
Section 10.10 Shareholders’ Agent.
(a) In the event that the Merger is approved by the shareholders of Synchrologic, effective upon such vote, and without further act of any stockholder of Synchrologic, Grotech Advisory Services, Inc. shall be appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Shareholders’ Agent”) for each stockholder of Synchrologic (except such shareholders of Synchrologic, if any, as shall have perfected their appraisal or dissenters’ rights under Georgia Law). The Shareholders’ Agent shall have the authority to act for and on behalf of the Former Synchrologic Shareholders, including, without limitation, to give and receive notices and communications, to act on behalf of the Former Synchrologic Shareholders with respect to any matters arising under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, to authorize delivery to Pumatech of the Escrow Shares or other property, including shares of Pumatech Common Stock, from the Escrow Fund, and any other funds and property in its possession in satisfaction of claims by Pumatech, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and commence, prosecute, participate in, settle, dismiss or otherwise terminate, as applicable, lawsuits and claims, mediation and arbitration proceedings, and to comply with orders of courts and awards of courts, mediators and arbitrators with respect to such suits, claims or proceedings, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Shareholders’ Agent shall for all purposes be deemed the sole authorized agent of the Former Synchrologic Shareholders until such time as the agency is terminated. Such agency may be changed by the Former Synchrologic Shareholders from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Pumatech; provided, however, that the Shareholders’ Agent may not be removed unless holders of a two-thirds interest in the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted Shareholders’ Agent. Any vacancy in the position of Shareholders’ Agent may be filled by

approval of the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the Shareholders’ Agent, and the Shareholders’ Agent shall not receive compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholders’ Agent shall constitute notice to or from each of the Former Synchrologic Shareholders during the term of the agency.
(b) The Shareholders’ Agent shall not incur any liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by it or omitted hereunder as Shareholders’ Agent. The Shareholders’ Agent may, in all questions arising hereunder, rely on the advice of counsel and other professionals and for anything done, omitted or suffered by the Shareholders’ Agent based on such advice and the Shareholders’ Agent shall not be liable to anyone. The Shareholders’ Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no other covenants or obligations shall be implied under this Agreement against the Shareholders’ Agent; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not act as a limitation on the powers of the Shareholders’ Agent determined by it to be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of its obligations. The Former Synchrologic Shareholders shall severally and pro rata, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, indemnify the Shareholders’ Agent and hold him or her harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred on the part of the Shareholders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his or her duties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.
(c) The Shareholders’ Agent shall have reasonable access to information about Synchrologic and Pumatech and the reasonable assistance of Synchrologic’s and Pumatech’s officers and employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder, provided that the Shareholders’ Agent shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about Synchrologic or Pumatech to anyone (except on a need to know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially).
(d) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent shall constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all of the Former Synchrologic Shareholders for whom shares of Pumatech Common Stock otherwise issuable to them are deposited in the Escrow Fund and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Former Synchrologic Stockholder, and the Escrow Agent. Pumatech may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of every such stockholder of Synchrologic. The Escrow Agent and Pumatech are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent.
(e) The Shareholders’ Agent shall be reimbursed for any fees or expenses payable or incurred by the Shareholders’ Agent in connection with the Merger Agreement or any claim for indemnification under the Merger Agreement (including any disputes with respect to such claims) and any loss, liability or expense of the Shareholders’ Agent that is subject to the indemnification obligations of the Former Synchrologic Shareholders pursuant to Section 10.10(b) hereof, up to an aggregate amount of $500,000, and such fees and expenses shall be payable to the Shareholders’ Agent by the delivery of the number of Escrow Shares having a value, based on the Average Closing Price, equal to the amount of such fees, losses, liabilities or expenses, and such delivery shall rank senior to the delivery of any Escrow Shares to the Pumatech Indemnified Parties. Any such fees, losses, liabilities or expenses in excess of $500,000 shall be payable to the Shareholders’ Agent directly by the Former Synchrologic Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10.9(c) and 10.10(b) hereof.
(a) In the event Pumatech becomes aware of a third-party claim which Pumatech believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund, Pumatech shall promptly notify the Shareholders’ Agent of such claim, and the Shareholders’ Agent and the Former Synchrologic Shareholders for whom shares of Pumatech Common Stock otherwise issuable to them are deposited in the Escrow Fund shall be entitled, at their expense, to participate in any defense of such claim. Pumatech shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any such claim; provided, however, that Pumatech may not effect the settlement of any such claim
A-51
Table of Contents
without the written consent of the Shareholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Shareholders’ Agent has consented in writing to any such settlement, the Shareholders’ Agent shall have no power or authority to object to the amount of any claim by Pumatech against the Escrow Fund for indemnity with respect to such settlement in the amount agreed to.
(b) In the event the Shareholders’ Agent becomes aware of a third-party claim which the Shareholders’ Agent or any Synchrologic Indemnified Party believes may result in Damages indemnified pursuant to Section 10.2, the Shareholders’ Agent shall promptly notify Pumatech of such claim, and Pumatech or the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled, at their expense, to participate in any defense of such claim. The Shareholders’ Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any such claim; provided, however, that the Shareholders’ Agent may not effect the settlement of any such claim without the written consent of Pumatech or the Surviving Corporation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
