2.2 AvantGo Indemnitees' Claims.
---------------------------
(a) At any time (or from time to time), an AvantGo Indemnitee may give
written notice (a "Claim Notice") to the Stockholders and the Escrow Agent that
------------
such AvantGo Indemnitee claims all or any part of the Escrow Fund (each a
"Claim") in satisfaction of any Damages suffered by such AvantGo Indemnitee,
-----
prior to the second anniversary of the date hereof (the "Second Anniversary"),
------------------
for which the Stockholders are obligated to indemnify an AvantGo Indemnitee
pursuant to Article VI of the Merger Agreement. The Claim Notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail (i) a statement that AvantGo has paid or incurred or
reasonably anticipates (by reason of receipt of notice from a third party
regarding a potential claim) that it will incur Damages relating to Claims that
arose prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and, in the case where
AvantGo has paid or incurred Damages, any evidence reflecting the
-2-
payment or incurrence of such Damages; (ii) a description of any evidence
supporting the item or items of Damages giving rise to the Claim and the date
each such Damage was paid or incurred, or the basis for such anticipated
liability prior to the expiration of the Survival Period; (iii) if applicable,
the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant in the
Merger Agreement or Ancillary Document or AvantGo Ancillary Document to which
such item or items are related; (iv) the amount of the Claim (hereinafter
referred to as the "Claim Amount"); and (v) whether or not AvantGo is claiming
------------
that any of the Stockholders had actual knowledge of the factual basis giving
rise to the Claim to which the Claim Notice relates.
(b) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, the Stockholders' Representative
shall thirty (30) days to dispute the Claim by delivering written notice to
AvantGo and the Escrow Agent specifying in reasonable detail the basis for the
dispute (a "Dispute Notice").
--------------
(c) If (i) the Stockholders' Representative approves all or a part of
the Claim Amount and the determination as to whether or not any of the
Stockholders had actual knowledge of the factual basis giving rise to the Claim,
or (ii) upon the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to in Section
2.2(b), a Dispute Notice has not been delivered to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow
Agent shall release to AvantGo that number of Escrow Shares equal to a quotient,
(x) the numerator of which shall equal the Claim Amount (or such part thereof
which is approved by the Stockholders' Representative and not disputed) and (y)
the denominator of which shall equal the Common Price Per Share (as defined in
Section 2.2(f)). The Escrow Agent shall give written notice to AvantGo and the
Stockholders' Representative of the number of Escrow Shares released to AvantGo.
The Escrow Agent shall deliver to AvantGo the Escrow Shares so released.
(d) If, within the thirty (30) day period referred to in Section 2.2(b),
the Stockholders' Representative shall, in good faith, deliver a Dispute Notice
to AvantGo and the Escrow Agent, AvantGo and the Stockholders' Representative
shall undertake to obtain as promptly as possible a final resolution of such
Claim. If AvantGo and the Stockholders' Representative are unable to resolve a
dispute within thirty (30) days after the delivery to AvantGo and the Escrow
Agent of a Dispute Notice, then AvantGo and the Stockholders' Representative
shall jointly submit their dispute to J.A.M.S. Endispute (the "Arbitrator") in
----------
New York, New York (or another neutral jurisdiction mutually agreeable to
AvantGo and the Stockholders' Representative) for resolution. If the Arbitrator
is unwilling to act as arbitrator for such dispute, a substitute arbitrator (the
"Substitute") shall be selected as follows: AvantGo shall select an appointing
----------
arbitrator and the Stockholders' Representative shall select an appointing
arbitrator, and the two appointing arbitrators so selected shall mutually
appoint the Substitute who shall be a nationally recognized arbitration
association not acting for AvantGo or any of the Stockholders; provided,
--------
however, that if either party fails to select an appointing arbitrator within
-------
thirty (30) days after the expiration of the second thirty (30) day period
referred to in this Section 2.2(d), the appointing arbitrator selected by the
other party shall serve as the Substitute if such arbitrator is a nationally
recognized arbitration association; otherwise, such arbitrator shall select the
Substitute. The Arbitrator's or Substitute's determination, as the case may be,
as to a dispute shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. AvantGo shall
pay the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator.
-3-
(e) Upon the delivery of any of the following to the Escrow Agent, the
Escrow Agent shall promptly release to AvantGo from the Escrow Fund that number
of shares of AvantGo Stock equal to the following (valuing each share of AvantGo
Stock at the Common Price Per Share):
(i) a joint direction executed by AvantGo and the Stockholders'
Representative directing the Escrow Agent to pay a specified number of shares of
AvantGo Stock to AvantGo; or
(ii) a direction letter executed by the Arbitrator or the
Substitute, as the case may be, directing the Escrow Agent to pay a specified
number of shares of AvantGo Stock to AvantGo.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Common Price Per Share"
----------------------
shall mean: (i) with respect to any Claim, if it is conceded or uncontested by
the Stockholders' Representative, or if it is determined by the Arbitrator or
the Substitute (after taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances),
that any Stockholder, on or prior to the Closing Date, had actual knowledge of
the factual basis giving rise to such Claim, the Common Price Per Share shall
equal $8.36; and (ii) with respect to any Claim, if it is conceded or unalleged
in the Claim Notice by AvantGo, or if it is determined by the Arbitrator or the
Substitute (after taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances),
that none of the Stockholders, on or prior to the Closing Date, had actual
knowledge of the factual basis giving rise to such Claim, the Common Price Per
Share shall be determined as follows: (A) if the AvantGo Stock is traded on a
national securities exchange or quoted in a national inter-dealer quotation
system, (I) the Common Price Per Share shall be an amount equal to the Primary
Rolling Average (as defined below); provided, however, that if the spread
-------- -------
between the Primary Rolling Average and the Secondary Rolling Average (as
defined below) exceeds 20% of the Primary Rolling Average, then the Common Price
Per Share shall equal the average of the Primary Rolling Average and the
Secondary Rolling Average; or (II) if the AvantGo Stock has not been publicly
traded for 20 trading days, the Common Price Per Share shall be an amount equal
to the Interim Rolling Average; provided, however, that if the spread between
-------- -------
the Interim Rolling Average and the Secondary Rolling Average exceeds 20% of the
Interim Rolling Average, then the Common Price Per Share shall equal the average
of the Interim Rolling Average and the Secondary Rolling Average; or (B) if the
AvantGo Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange or quoted in
a national inter-dealer quotation system, the Common Price Per Share shall be an
amount equal to the average of the fair market value of one share of AvantGo
Stock on the date of the Claim Notice and the fair market value of one share of
AvantGo Stock on the date on which the Escrow Agent received a direction
pursuant to Section 2.2(e) herein, both as reasonably determined in good faith
by AvantGo's Board of Directors. With respect to a particular Claim, (x) the
"Primary Rolling Average" shall mean the average of the Quoted Prices for the
------------------------
AvantGo Stock for the 20 consecutive trading days commencing 22 trading days
before the date of the Claim Notice; (y) the "Secondary Rolling Average" shall
-------------------------
mean the average of the Quoted Prices for the AvantGo Stock for the 20
consecutive trading days commencing 22 trading days before the date on which the
Escrow Agent receives a direction pursuant to Section 2.2(e) herein; and (z) the
"Interim Rolling Average" shall mean the average of the Quoted Prices for each
-----------------------
of the trading days ending two trading days before the date of the Claim Notice.
The "Quoted Price" of the AvantGo Stock
------------
-4-
for each day is the last reported sales price of the Common Stock on such day as
reported by NASDAQ, or, if the AvantGo Stock is listed on a securities exchange,
the last reported sales price of the AvantGo Stock on such exchange (which shall
be for consolidated trading if applicable to such exchange) on such day, or if
neither is so reported or listed, the average of the last reported bid and asked
prices of the AvantGo Stock on such day.
2.3 Release and Transfer of Escrow Fund.
-----------------------------------
(a) On the first anniversary of the date hereof, the Escrow Agent is
hereby authorized and directed to release to the Stockholders according to their
Proportionate Interest (as defined herein) all shares of AvantGo Stock remaining

shall be required to satisfy the sum of all Claims made in good faith then
pending, whether or not payment of such Claims is being disputed by the
Stockholders' Representative; (ii) that portion of any unpaid reimbursement
expenses payable to AvantGo pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof; and (iii) 50% of the
Total Escrow Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Proportionate
-------------
Interest" of each Stockholder shall be as set forth on Exhibit A.
-------- ----------
(b) On the Second Anniversary, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and
directed to release to the Stockholders according to their Proportionate
Interest (as defined herein) all shares of AvantGo Stock remaining in the Escrow
Fund after the satisfaction of AvantGo's Claims pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof
less the aggregate of: (i) that portion of the Escrow Fund as shall be required
to satisfy the sum of all Claims made in good faith then pending, whether or not
payment of such Claims is being disputed by the Stockholders' Representative;
and (ii) that portion of any unpaid reimbursement expenses payable to AvantGo
pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.
(c) The Escrow Agent shall release to the Stockholders according to
their Proportionate Interests that portion of the Escrow Fund which was withheld

effect from AvantGo and the Stockholders' Representative or (ii) a letter
executed by the Arbitrator with respect to the final determination of any
pending Claim.
(d) After the Second Anniversary and promptly upon final resolution and
payment of all Claims outstanding as provided in Section 2.2 hereof, the balance
of the Escrow Fund then remaining, if any, shall be released to the Stockholders
according to their Proportionate Interests. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, all portions of the Escrow Fund that, upon the
Second Anniversary, are being withheld for a pending Claim that (i) is based
solely on AvantGo's receipt of written notice from a third party regarding a
potential suit, shall be released to the Stockholders in accordance with their
Proportionate Interests if, within three months after the Second Anniversary,
such third party has not yet filed a lawsuit against AvantGo; or (ii) is
otherwise based solely on AvantGo's reasonable anticipation that it will incur
damages relating to Claims that arose prior to the expiration of the Survival
Period, shall, if no written notice from a third party regarding a potential

-5-
Anniversary, be released to the Stockholders in accordance with their

Escrow Agent is authorized and directed pursuant to this Agreement to release
any Escrow Shares that are Restricted Shares that have not yet vested pursuant
to the terms of the Stockholders' Employment Agreements (the "Restricted Escrow

Anniversary, the Escrow Agent shall instead deliver such Restricted Escrow
Shares (not including the dividends and distributions made thereon and all
interest earned thereon, which shall still be released to the Stockholders) to
AvantGo to be deposited in escrow with AvantGo and held by AvantGo on behalf of
the Stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(g) of each of

shares shall be subject only to the restrictions set forth in Section 5 of each
Stockholder's Employment Agreement, and shall no longer be subject to any
restrictions in this Agreement.

which the Escrow Agent will distribute the property then held hereunder, less
the Escrow Agent's fees, costs and expenses. If a successor escrow agent has
not been appointed and has not accepted such appointment by the end of the

jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent, and the costs,

negligence. The Escrow Agent is not responsible for any of the terms and/or
conditions of the Merger Agreement and may rely exclusively on the directions of
the parties as set forth in this Agreement to satisfy its role as Escrow Agent.
Neither AvantGo nor the Escrow Agent shall be liable to the Stockholders for any
portion of the Escrow Fund properly distributed to the Stockholders pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for

action.
3.5 Controversies. If any controversy arises between AvantGo and the
-------------
Stockholders' Representative or with any third person with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to
determine the same or take any action with respect thereto, but may await the
final resolution of any such controversy, anything in the instructions delivered
by the parties hereto to the contrary notwithstanding, and in such event it
shall not be liable for interest or damage.
3.6 Discharge of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent agrees that AvantGo
-----------------------------

Escrow Agent shall thereafter be discharged from all liability hereunder.

------------
levied upon pursuant to any court order, or the delivery of the Escrow Fund
shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or any court order shall be made
or entered into affecting the Escrow Fund, or any part thereof, the Escrow Agent
is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole direction, to obey and comply with
any court order so entered or issued, which it is advised by legal counsel of
its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction, and
in case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any court order, it shall not be
liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation,
by reason of such compliance notwithstanding such court order be subsequently
reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

------
converted, or into which it may be consolidated, or any company resulting from
such merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party, or any
company to which the Escrow Agent may sell or transfer all or substantially all
