AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
 
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 1, 2011 by and among Compuware Corporation, a Michigan corporation (“Parent”), Compuware Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), dynaTrace software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Stockholders’ Representative designated herein.  Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Stockholders’ Representative are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties,” and individually as a “Party.”  Certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 7.1.
 
 
RECITALS
 
A.            The Boards of Directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company believe it is in the best interests of its corporation and its respective stockholders that Parent acquire the Company through a statutory merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company with the Company as the corporation surviving the merger (the “Merger”) and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger.
 
B.            Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Agreement.
 
C.            A portion of the consideration otherwise payable by Merger Sub in connection with the Merger shall be placed in escrow by Merger Sub as security for certain obligations set forth in this Agreement and to fund the Expense Fund.
 
D.            The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Merger.
 
E.            Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a material inducement to Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, certain key employees have entered into a confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and development agreement to be effective at the Effective Time.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and other premises set forth in this Agreement, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance of such agreements, covenants and other premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged and accepted, the Parties agree as follows:

 
1

 
 
ARTICLE I
 
THE MERGER
 
1.1           The Merger.  At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.  The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Surviving Corporation.”
 
1.2           Effective Time.  Unless another time and place is mutually agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Dykema Gossett PLLC, 400 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan, as of the date hereof.  The date upon which the Closing occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”  On the Closing Date, the Parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Certificate of Merger”), in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law (the time of such filing with the Delaware Secretary of State shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).
 
1.3           Effect of the Merger.  At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
 
 
1.4
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.  
 
(a)           Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article I of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read substantially as follows (or such other name as determined by Parent in its sole discretion):  “The name of the corporation is dynaTrace software, Inc.”
 
(b)           Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

 
2

 
 
1.5           Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation.  Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director or officer of the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as applicable.
 
1.6           Effect of the Merger on the Capital Stock of the Constituent Corporations; Rights of Dissenting Stockholders.  
 
(a)           The aggregate purchase price for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be $255,820,000 (the “Merger Consideration”).  At Closing, Parent shall make a capital contribution to Merger Sub and Merger Sub shall (i) pay or cause to be paid the Merger Consideration, less the Escrow Amount, less the Expense Amount, less the Third Party Expenses shown on Section 2.23(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, in accordance with the Closing Payment Spreadsheet; (ii) deposit, or cause to be deposited, an amount equal to $25,000,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) into the Escrow Fund; and (iii) deposit, or cause to be deposited, $150,000 (the “Expense Amount”) into the Expense Fund.  Merger Sub shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Paying Agent the Merger Consideration payable to the Stockholders and deliver, or cause to be delivered, Merger Consideration payable to Vested Optionholders to the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries which will distribute such Merger Consideration through their payrolls for Vested Optionholders who are employees and through their accounts payable functions for Vested Optionholders who are not employees.  The Company shall cause to be paid, prior to the Effective Time, the Third Party Expenses shown on Section 2.23(b) of the Disclosure Schedule.
 
(b)           At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Stockholders or the Optionholders:
 
(i)            each outstanding share of Company Common Stock and each outstanding share of Preferred Stock (on as converted basis) (other than a Dissenting Share) will be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive, without interest thereon, an amount of cash equal to approximately $5.3073 per share (the amounts payable to each holder of Company Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be set forth on the Closing Payment Spreadsheet);
 
(ii)           each Company Vested Option shall be cancelled and terminated and shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive, without interest thereon, an amount of cash equal to approximately $5.3073 per share, less the amount of any exercise price applicable thereto (the amount payable to each holder of Company Vested Options shall be set forth in the Closing Payment Spreadsheet);
 
(iii)           each Company Option that is not a Company Vested Option and is set forth on Schedule 1.6(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule shall be canceled and terminated as of the Effective Time and converted into options to acquire shares of common stock of Parent issued pursuant to the Compuware Corporation 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan as of the Effective Time, on the same economic, vesting and other terms as then applicable to such Company Option in accordance with the requirements of 26 C.F.R. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) and, for purposes of “incentive stock options” (as defined in Code Section 422), consistent with the conditions under Code Section 424(a) and the regulations thereunder, which shall be evidenced by an option agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Converted Award”).  The Converted Awards are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, as amended, and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder (“Code Section 409A”); and

 
3

 
 
(iv)          each outstanding share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and are held by any Stockholder who has not consented to the approval of this Agreement and who has the right to demand, has properly demanded in writing, and has not effectively withdrawn or lost an appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware Law (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) shall not be converted into the right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration, but rather shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware Law.  If, after the Effective Time, such Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses any such right to appraisal, each such share of Company Capital Stock of such Dissenting Stockholder shall no longer be considered a Dissenting Share and shall be deemed to have converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration, without interest, as provided in Section 1.6(b), pursuant to the exchange procedures set forth in Section 1.8.  At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall automatically be canceled, cease to exist and no longer be outstanding, and each holder of a stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive either payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware Law or the portion of the Merger Consideration provided in Section 1.6(b), as the case may be, upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.8.  The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of the Company’s receipt of any demands for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the Delaware Law, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.  The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing except to the extent required by Delaware Law.
 
1.7           Cash-Out of Company Vested Options; Termination of Plans.  Prior to the Closing, the Board of Directors of the Company shall adopt such resolutions and take all such other actions as may be necessary to provide that:

 
4

 
 
(a)           to the extent determined by such Board, the vesting of one or more Company Options shall be accelerated as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in order that those Company Options shall be included in the Company Vested Options;
 
(b)           each Company Unvested Option listed in Section 1.6(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule shall be converted as specified in Section 1.6(b)(iii) and each Company Unvested Option that is not listed in Section 1.6(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule shall be terminated; and
 
 
(c)
the Plan shall be terminated as of the Effective Time.
 
1.8           Exchange and Payment Procedures.  JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall serve as the Paying Agent for the Merger (the “Paying Agent”).  At the Effective Time, Parent shall make a capital contribution to Merger Sub and Merger Sub shall make available or cause to be made available (a) to the Paying Agent in accordance with this Article I the portion of the Merger Consideration (less the pro rata portion of the Escrow Amount and the Expense Amount based on the aggregate amount payable pursuant to Section 1.6(b)) into which the Company Capital Stock converts pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i) and (b) to the Surviving Corporation in accordance with this Article I the portion of the Merger Consideration into which the Company Vested Options are convertible pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(ii) (less the pro rata portion of Escrow Amount and the Expense Amount based on the aggregate amount payable pursuant to Section 1.6(b)). Each Stockholder and each holder of Company Vested Options shall be deemed to have contributed a pro rata portion of the Escrow Amount attributable to the Merger Consideration to the Escrow Fund and a pro rata portion of the Expense Amount attributable to the Merger Consideration to the Expense Fund.
 
(a)           Company Capital Stock.  Upon surrender by a Stockholder to the Paying Agent of one or more certificates that represented shares of Company Capital Stock converted pursuant to Section 1.6(b) (“Company Stock Certificates”), together with (i) a letter of transmittal prepared by the Company (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Company Stock Certificates to the Paying Agent) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “Letter of Transmittal”), duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and (ii) a Stockholder release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, duly completed and validly executed by such Stockholder, the Paying Agent shall pay to such Stockholder, in exchange for such Company Stock Certificates, cash in an amount equal to that portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Stockholder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(b) (less the portion of such cash amount to be deposited in the Escrow Fund and the Expense Fund on such Stockholder’s behalf pursuant to Section 6.7), and each Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled as of the later of (i) the date of such surrender and (ii) the Effective Time.
 
(b)           Company Vested Options.  Promptly after the Effective Time, the Company shall send to each Optionholder any necessary instructions for converting their Company Vested Options into a portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.6(b), which instructions shall include a request for a release confirming that such Optionholder has no right to receive any other capital stock or capital stock-equivalents from the Company, including under any employment agreement or Plan, and agreeing to be bound by the indemnification provisions set forth herein in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Option Release”). Upon compliance by such Optionholder with any Company instructions, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries shall pay to such Optionholder, in exchange for the agreement representing such Company Vested Options and the Option Release, cash in an amount equal to that portion of the Merger Consideration that such Optionholder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(b) (less the portion of such cash amount to be deposited in the Escrow Fund and the Expense Fund on such Optionholder’s behalf pursuant to Section 6.7).   Each payment to an Optionholder pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to a properly surrendered agreement representing Company Vested Options, shall be made (i) as soon as reasonably practicable on or after July 6, 2011 and the receipt by the Company of such agreement and (ii) by check mailed to the address specified by such Optionholder in accordance with the instructions provided by the Company or through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system; provided, however, all payments to be made under this Section 1.8(b) (and not subject to the escrow requirements described in Section 6.7) shall be paid within the “short term deferral period” as described in 26 C.F.R. §1.409A-1(b)(4).

 
5

 
 
(c)           Rights Until Surrendered.  Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 1.8, each outstanding Company Stock Certificate and each Company Vested Option will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.6(b).
 
(d)           No Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, neither the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any Party shall be liable to a Stockholder or an Optionholder for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
 
(e)           Withholding Taxes.  The Company and its Subsidiaries and, on their respective behalf, Parent, the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Merger Consideration otherwise payable or deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Stockholder or any Optionholder such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement of a Governmental Entity.  To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
 
(f)           No Further Ownership Rights.  The portion of the Merger Consideration paid in respect of the conversion of shares of Company Capital Stock or Company Vested Options and the deposit of the related pro rata Escrow Amount into the Escrow Fund and the related pro rata Expense Amount into the Expense Fund in accordance with the terms hereof, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock and such Company Vested Options (as the case may be), and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates or agreements representing Company Vested Options are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and converted as provided in this Section 1.8.

 
6

 
 
(g)           Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.
 
(i)            In the event any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay to the record holder of such Company Stock Certificate the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Company Stock Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i), upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by such record holder.
 
(ii)           In the event any agreement representing Company Vested Options shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to the holder of such Company Vested Options the Merger Consideration for which such Company Vested Options are converted pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(ii), upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by such holder.
 
(iii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of any such Merger Consideration pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), require the holder to provide an indemnification agreement with respect to the lost certificate (in form and substance included in the Letter of Transmittal or such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to Parent), against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to a Company Stock Certificate or agreement representing Company Vested Options.
 
1.9           Rounding Adjustments.  The aggregate amount of cash into which all shares of Company Capital Stock held by a Stockholder are convertible pursuant to Section 1.6(b) and the aggregate amount of cash for which all Company Vested Options held by an Optionholder are convertible pursuant to Section 1.6(b) shall be subject to rounding by the Company to the nearest one cent, in connection with the preparation of the Closing Payment Spreadsheet, in order that the aggregate amount of cash into which all Company Capital Stock is convertible and for which all Company Vested Options are exercisable shall, in the aggregate, equal the Merger Consideration.  In addition, the amount of Merger Consideration paid to, and the amounts deposited in the Escrow Fund and the Expense Fund on behalf of, a Stockholder and a holder of Company Vested Options pursuant to Section 1.8 shall be subject to rounding by the Company to the nearest one cent, in connection with the preparation of the Closing Payment Spreadsheet in order that the amounts of cash deposited pursuant to the Escrow Agreement on behalf of all Stockholders and all holders of Company Vested Options shall result in (a) an aggregate amount equal to $25,000,000.00 being deposited in the Escrow Fund and (b) an aggregate amount of $150,000.00 being deposited in the Expense Fund.
 
1.10         Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action.  If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and the officers and directors of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

ARTICLE II
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
 
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule furnished to Parent specifically identifying the corresponding numbered section of this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub, as set forth in this Article II.  Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, for purposes of this Article II, references to the “Company” include the Company and its Subsidiaries.  The Disclosure Schedule will be arranged to correspond to the representations and warranties in Article II, and the disclosure in any portion of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the corresponding provision in this Article II and any other provision of this Article II to which it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure relates.
 
2.1           Organization of the Company.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  The Company has all requisite corporate power to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted and as currently contemplated to be conducted as set forth in the Company’s development plan attached to Section 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Development Plan”).  The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of its assets or properties (whether owned, leased or licensed) or the nature of its business make such qualifications necessary, except where failures to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the ability of the Company to operate in the Ordinary Course.  Each such jurisdiction in which the Company is so qualified or licensed and is in good standing is set forth in Section 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule.  The Company has delivered a true and correct copy of its certificate of incorporation, as amended to date (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and bylaws, as amended to date, each in full force and effect on the date hereof (collectively, the “Charter Documents”), to Parent.  Section 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule lists the directors and officers of the Company as of the date hereof.  The operations now being conducted by the Company are not now and have never been conducted by the Company under any other name.  Section 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule also lists every state or foreign jurisdiction in which the Company has employees or facilities.

6.4
Third Party Claims.  
 
(a)           If any legal proceedings shall be instituted or any claim is asserted by any third party (the “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which any Party may have an obligation pursuant to this Article VI to pay for the Losses of another Party, the Party asserting such right to payment for incurred Losses (the “Damaged Party”) shall give the Party from whom such right is sought (the “Responsible Party”) written notice thereof as promptly as possible, but any failure to so notify the Responsible Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Damaged Party other than to the extent the Responsible Party is materially prejudiced thereby.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Representative shall serve as the Responsible Party with respect to any assertion by a Parent Damaged Party of a right to payment for incurred Losses and, at the request of a Stockholder Indemnified Party asserting a right to payment for incurred Loss, the Stockholders’ Representative may assume and perform some or all of the rights and responsibilities of a Damaged Party that otherwise would be attributable to such Stockholder Indemnified Party.
 
(b)           The Responsible Party may assume control of the defense of the Damaged Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Damaged Party if:

 
47

 
 
(i)            within 15 days after receipt of such written notice, the Responsible Party confirms in writing that the Responsible Party will defend the Damaged Party from and against the Losses the Damaged Party may incur as a result of or arising out of the Third Party Claim (which confirmation shall not be deemed an admission that indemnification is required pursuant to this Article VI);
 
(ii)            the Responsible Party provides the Damaged Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Damaged Party that the Responsible Party has the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and to fulfill its obligations to pay for Losses hereunder with respect to all Losses that are reasonably likely to result from or arise out of the Third Party Claim;
 
(iii)           the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Damaged Party (in the case of Parent, acting reasonably through its Board of Directors), reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the Damaged Party’s reputation or its relationships with its employees, stockholders, or any of its significant customers or business partners;
 
(iv)           the Third Party Claim does not seek an order, injunction, non-monetary or other equitable relief against the Damaged Party which the Damaged Party (in the case of Parent, acting reasonably through its Board of Directors) determines reasonably and in good faith could, if successful, have a Material Adverse Effect; and
 
(v)           the Responsible Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently and keeps the Damaged Party informed of material developments with respect to the Third Party Claim and consults with the Damaged Party prior to making material strategic decisions with respect to the defense of the Third Party Claim.
 
(c)           So long as the Responsible Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim and the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b) hereof are being met:
 
(i)            the Damaged Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim; provided, however, that the employment of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Responsible Party if the Damaged Party determines in good faith that such participation is appropriate in light of conflicts of interest;
 
(ii)            the Responsible Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Damaged Party before agreeing to the entry of any judgment arising from such claim, entering into any settlement of such claim or ceasing to defend against such claim (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) provided, however, that the Responsible Party shall not require such prior written approval if such settlement or judgment (A) includes as an unconditional term thereof be given by each claimant or plaintiff to each Damaged Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim and (B) involves only the payment of money damages that are covered in full by the payment obligations of the Responsible Party; and
 
(iii)           the Responsible Party shall not be liable to such Damaged Party hereunder for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Damaged Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Responsible Party shall be liable for such legal expenses if the Damaged Party determines in good faith that the incurrence of the same is appropriate in light of defenses not available to the Responsible Party, or in light of conflicts of interest.

 
48

 
 
(d)           If any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b) above becomes unsatisfied, the Damaged Party shall, after reasonable written notice to the Responsible Party, have the right to defend such claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the cost and expense of the Responsible Party; provided that the Damaged Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Responsible Party before agreeing to the entry of any judgment arising from such claim, entering into any settlement of such claim or ceasing to defend against such claim (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Responsible Party will promptly reimburse the Damaged Party to the extent the Damaged Party is entitled to payment of Losses hereunder, provided that, in the event that the Damaged Party is a Parent Damaged Party, such Losses shall be paid out of the Escrow Fund.
 
(e)           A claim for payment of Losses for any matter not involving a third-party claim shall be asserted by the Damaged Party to the Responsible Party in writing as promptly as possible, setting forth specifically the obligation with respect to which the claim is made, the facts giving rise to and the alleged basis for such claim (to the extent known) and, if known, the amount of the Losses asserted or which may be asserted by reason thereof, but any failure to so notify the Responsible Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Damaged Party other than to the extent the Responsible Party is materially prejudiced thereby.  The Responsible Party shall be entitled to contest any such claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
 
6.5           Limitations on Payment for Losses.  
 
(a)           Neither the Parent Damaged Parties nor the Stockholder Indemnified Parties may assert any claim for Losses under Sections 6.2(a), 6.2(e) or 6.3(a), as applicable, until the aggregate amount of Losses in respect of all such claims equals or exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Threshold”).  Thereafter, liability shall be for the full amount of such Losses without regard to the Threshold.  No claims for individual Losses of less than $50,000 may be asserted at any time or shall be included in determining whether the Threshold has been met; provided, however, the foregoing clause shall not apply to Losses under Sections 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d) or 6.3(b).  After the Closing, subject to Sections 6.6 and 6.7(b), claims against the Escrow Fund in accordance with the provisions of this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties with regard to any Loss arising out of or related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
(b)           No Damaged Party shall be entitled to recover consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or other special Losses, or Losses based on a multiplier or lost profits, with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty or non-performance of any obligation under this Agreement (or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated hereby), and under no circumstances shall such damages be considered “Losses” under this Agreement; provided, however, Losses shall include such consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or other special Losses in the event that the Damaged Party is liable to a third party for such Losses pursuant to a Third Party Claim.

 
49

 
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to  claims for Losses pursuant to this Article VI, in the event it is determined either by mutual agreement or by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Damaged Party is not entitled to payment for Losses hereunder, Damaged Party shall promptly reimburse all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Responsible Party in defense of such claim.
 
6.6           Fundamental Representations.  Subject to the other provisions of this Article VI, a Parent Damaged Party shall be entitled to payment for Losses, incurred or sustained by such Parent Damaged Party arising out of, related to, or resulting from or based upon any breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation as follows:
 
(a)           first, the Parent Damaged Party will be required to make claims against the Escrow Fund rather than against the Stockholders and the Vested Optionholders (collectively, the “Escrow Fund Participants”) individually, until the funds contained in the Escrow Fund have been fully exhausted or distributed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (except for Losses arising from the breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation made solely with respect to a specific Escrow Fund Participant which shall be allocated solely to such Escrow Fund Participant);
 
(b)           then, allocated pro rata and severally among the Escrow Fund Participants according to the portion of the Merger Consideration paid to such Escrow Fund Participant (except for Losses arising from the breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation made solely with respect to a specific Escrow Fund Participant which shall be allocated solely to such Escrow Fund Participant).
 
(c)           In no event will the aggregate liability of any Escrow Fund Participant under this Agreement exceed the portion of the Merger Consideration received by such Escrow Fund Participant pursuant to this Agreement.
 
 
6.7
Escrow and Expense Funds; Escrow Period; Remedy.  
 
(a)           As of the Effective Time, the Parent, the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement, and Merger Sub shall deposit with the Escrow Agent (i) the Escrow Amount, such deposit of the Escrow Amount to constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) to satisfy the payment obligations provided for in Section 6.2, and (ii) the Expense Amount, such deposit of the Expense Amount to constitute a fund for use of the Stockholders’ Representative to pay the costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in accordance with Section 6.9 (the “Expense Fund”). The Escrow Amount shall be available to compensate the Parent Damaged Parties for any claims by such Parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article VI for a period beginning on the date hereof and ending June 29, 2012 (the “Escrow Period”).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Sections 6.6 and 6.7(b), the right of Parent’s Indemnified Parties to seek compensation shall be limited solely and exclusively to the Escrow Fund and no current or former stockholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate or advisor of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall have any liability of any nature to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of either Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

 
50

 
 
(b)           If any claims for payment of Losses have been made pursuant to this Article VI and the same are still pending or unresolved at the expiration of the Escrow Period, such claims will continue to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of any Person (and such Person’s pro rata share of the Escrow Fund shall not be the exclusive remedy) in respect of Losses arising out of common law fraud committed by such Person.
 
 
6.8
Mitigation; Insurance.
 
(a)           Parent agrees that in the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article VI, Parent shall take and cause its Affiliates to take, or cooperate with the Stockholders’ Representative, if so requested, in order to take, all reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of the related breach (including taking reasonable measures to prevent any contingent liability from becoming an actual liability).
 
(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Damaged Parties’ Loss shall be limited to the amount of Losses incurred by such Damaged Parties, net of insurance recoveries actually received by such Damaged Parties as a result of such Losses and indemnification payments actually received by such Damaged Parties with respect to such Losses and tax benefits actually received by such Damaged Parties with respect to such Losses.
