W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Sysorex is in the business of providing information technology and telecommunications solutions and services to commercial and government customers in the United States, Middle East and India;
WHEREAS, Shoom is in the business of providing cloud based enterprise solutions and services;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Sysorex (the “Sysorex Board”) and the Board of Directors of Shoom (the “Shoom Board”) have each determined that the Merger (defined below) is consistent with and in furtherance of their respective long-term business strategy and fair to, and in the best interests of the parties hereto and their respective stockholders;
WHEREAS, the Sysorex Board (on its own behalf and as the sole stockholder of MergerSub) and the Shoom Board have each adopted resolutions approving this Agreement and the Merger of MergerSub with and into Shoom (the “Merger”), resulting in the cancellation of all of the stock of MergerSub and with Shoom continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger in accordance with the California Corporations Code (“CCC”) and, in each such case, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
WHEREAS, all of the issued and outstanding shares of no par value Common Stock of Shoom (the “Shoom Shares”) shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration (as defined herein); and
WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger and the transactions contemplated herein shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(I)(A) and (a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants of the parties as hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Merger Transaction.
(a) The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Merger shall be consummated in accordance with the CCC. At the Effective Time (defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, MergerSub shall be merged with and into Shoom in accordance with the CCC and the separate existence of MergerSub shall thereupon cease and Shoom, as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of California as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sysorex.
(b) Closing; Effective.
(i) The Closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 8, 9 and 10,at the offices of Sysorex, 3375 Scott Blvd. Suite 440, Santa Clara, CA 95054, or at such other location as may be agreed to by the parties, or on such other date and time as may be agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Date”).
(ii) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the parties shall file with the Secretary of State of California an Agreement of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) in accordance with the CCC executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the CCC and shall make all other filings or recordings required under such law in order to complete the Merger. The Merger shall be completed at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of California (the “Effective Time”).
(c) Succession. At the Effective Time, Shoom shall succeed to all of the rights, privileges, debts, liabilities, powers, properties and contract rights of the MergerSub in the manner of and as more fully set forth in the CCC.
(d) Merger Consideration. The consideration for the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”), will be as follows:
(i) Issuance of Sysorex Shares. Sysorex shall issue 2,762,005 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to the Persons who are shareholders of Shoom as of the Effective Time (the “Shoom Stockholders”) (the shares of Sysorex common stock being issued to the Shoom Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement are the “Consideration Shares”; the shares common stock of Sysorex in general are the “Sysorex Shares”), pro rata in accordance with the number of Shoom shares held by them as of the Effective Time. No fractional shares will be issued and the number of Consideration Shares issued to each Shoom Stockholder shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(ii) Payment of Cash Consideration. Sysorex will pay cash to the Shoom Stockholders (the “Cash Consideration”), pro rata, in accordance with the number of Shoom shares held by each of them as of the Effective Time. The Cash Consideration shall be two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000), subject to adjustment as follows: (i) if the Net Worth of Shoom as of the end of the last business day immediately preceding the Closing Date is greater than $6,038,020 which was the Net Worth of Shoom as of July 31, 2013 (the “Baseline Date”), then the Cash Consideration shall be $2,500,000 plus such excess, or (ii) if the Net Worth of Shoom as of the end of the last business day immediately preceding the Closing Date is less than the Net Worth of Shoom as of the Baseline Date, then the Cash Consideration shall be $2,500,000 minus such shortfall. Notwithstanding the above, no adjustment to the Cash Consideration shall be made, either upward or downward, and the Cash Consideration shall remain $2,500,000, if the Net Worth of Shoom as of the end of the last business day immediately preceding the Effective Time differs from the Net Worth of Shoom as of the Baseline Date by $100,000 or less. For purposes of this Agreement “Net Worth” means (i) total Assets as determined in accordance with GAAP, minus (ii) total Liabilities determined in accordance with GAAP and shall include an accrual for the Profit Sharing Plan of Shoom through the Effective Time.
(iii) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, if there are Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1(f) below), Merger Consideration shall not be distributed to holders of such Dissenting Shares and the total Merger Consideration shall be reduced to account for Dissenting Shares, such that the Shoom Stockholders who do not hold Dissenting Shares receive the same Merger Consideration as they would have received had there been no Dissenting Shares.
(e) Tender of Payment for Certificates.
(i) Exchange of Shoom Certificates; Conversion of Merger Sub Shares. In consideration of the Merger Consideration, the Shoom Stockholders shall surrender at or after the Effective Time certificates with powers endorsed in blank (the “Certificates”) for the Shoom Shares or, in the case of Shoom Stockholders who have lost such Certificates, an affidavit of loss reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1(e), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive its pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 1(d) hereof. Each Shoom Stockholder’s right to receive Merger Consideration shall be conditioned on such Shoom Stockholder executing such documents, making such representations and warranties, and giving such releases, as are provided for elsewhere in this Agreement. At the Effective Time, each share of Merger Sub common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(ii) Options, Warrants and Treasury Stock. All outstanding options, warrants and other securities owned and held in treasury by Shoom, shall be surrendered at or prior to the Effective Time and retired by Shoom. All securities of Shoom other than Shoom Shares shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.
(iii) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in the Stock. At the Effective Time, the transfer books of Shoom shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shoom Shares on the records of Shoom by the Shoom Stockholders. From and after the Effective Time the holders of Certificates evidencing ownership of Shoom Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shoom Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable law.
(f) Dissenting Shares.
(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Shoom capital stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected dissenters’ rights for such shares in accordance with the CCC 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 Merger Consideration, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the CCC.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (i) above, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s dissenters’ rights, then, as of the later of (a) the Effective Time or (b) the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender to the Company of the certificate representing such shares (or an affidavit of loss) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(g) Directors and Officers. Nadir Ali and Wendy Loundermon, the directors of MergerSub immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation. The officers of Shoom immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation. Wendy Loundermon shall have complete control of the accounting, finance and human resources departments of the Surviving Corporation.
(i) Other Effects of Merger. At and after the Closing Date, title to all property owned by each of Shoom and the MergerSub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation without reversion or impairment, and the Surviving Corporation shall automatically have all of the liabilities of each of Shoom and the MergerSub. The Merger shall have all further effects as specified in the applicable provisions of the CCC.
(ii) 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 MergerSub and Shoom, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of the Surviving Corporation to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.
(iii) Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws.
(1) At the Closing Date, the Articles of Incorporation of Shoom, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended, as provided by law.
(2) At the Closing Date, the By-laws of Shoom, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended.
(iv) Intent. The parties intend that, for federal income tax purposes, the Merger qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368 (a)(2)(E) of the Code, and that this Agreement constitutes a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code. Each party shall treat the Merger consistently with the foregoing, including filing the information and maintaining the records required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3, and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith. No party shall take any action that would cause the Merger not to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code.
(h) Post-Closing Cash Consideration Adjustment.
(i) At least two Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Shoom shall deliver to Sysorex a schedule of Shoom’s estimate of its Net Worth as of 11:59 p.m., California time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (without taking into account the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (“Estimated Net Worth”).
(ii) Shoom’s Estimated Net Worth shall become final and binding on Shoom and Sysorex (the “Final Net Worth”) unless Sysorex gives written notice (“Notice of Disagreement”) to Shoom of its disagreement with respect to the calculation of Estimated Net Worth within thirty (30) days after the delivery to Sysorex of audited 2012 financial statements and reviewed financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2013 for Shoom, specifying with reasonable detail each item of disagreement and the reasons for such disagreement, and providing its calculation of Net Worth. Shoom and Sysorex shall negotiate in good faith to resolve in writing all of the differences with respect to each matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement, in which case any such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties (in such instance, also the “Final Net Worth”). If Shoom and Sysorex have not resolved in writing all of the differences with respect to any such matter, then each unresolved matter (the “Disputed Adjustment Matter”) shall be submitted to and reviewed by a mutually agreed to independent certified public accountant (the “Neutral Accountant”). The Neutral Accountant shall consider only the Disputed Adjustment Matters, shall determine Net Worth in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Net Worth of Shoom was determined as of the Baseline Date, and shall act promptly to resolve in writing all Disputed Adjustment Matters, and its decisions with respect to the Disputed Adjustment Matters shall be final and binding on each of Shoom and Sysorex; provided, however, that no such resolution of the Disputed Adjustment Matters shall require payment of an amount greater than the highest amount based upon Shoom’s Estimated Net Worth or less than the lowest amount based upon Sysorex’s Notice of Disagreement, and such decision will also be the Final Net Worth. The Neutral Accountant shall promptly notify Shoom and Sysorex of its resolution of the Disputed Adjustment Matter. Sysorex shall be responsible for and shall pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Neutral Accountant. However, in the event the Neutral Accountant determines that the Disputed Adjustment Matter reflects in excess of ten (10%) percent less Final Net Worth, Shoom shall reimburse Sysorex in full for the costs of the Neutral Accountant. Once the Final Net Worth has been determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1(h), such calculation shall be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement.
(i) Delivery of Consideration Shares and Cash Into Escrow. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(d)(i) and 1(d)(ii) above, at Closing, Sysorex shall deposit in escrow (the “Indemnity Escrow Account”) with Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP as escrow agent (the “Indemnity Escrow Agent”), an aggregate of 500,000 of the Consideration Shares (the “Escrow Shares”) and five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) of the Cash Consideration (the “Escrow Cash” and, together with the Escrow Shares, the “Escrow Collateral”). The Escrow Collateral shall be held in escrow by the Indemnity Escrow Agent pursuant to, and released from the Indemnity Escrow Account, in accordance with, the provisions hereinafter set forth and the escrow agreement to be entered into at the Closing by and among Sysorex, the Shareholder Representative and the Indemnity Escrow Agent, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1(i) (the “Indemnity Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Collateral is to be held by the Indemnity Escrow Agent as partial security against the payment and performance of Shoom’s and the Shoom Stockholders’ obligations with respect to the indemnification provisions of Section 5(b). All of the Escrow Shares shall be released from the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Shoom Stockholders, on a pro-rata basis, on the date one (1) year after the Closing Date in the event there are no Claims (defined in Section 5(b) hereof) for indemnification submitted by any Person (other than Shoom) within one year following the Closing Date. If the aggregate amount of Claims during the one-year period is less than the value of the Escrow Shares (determined pursuant to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 5(c)), then Escrow Shares having a value (determined pursuant to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 5(c)) exceeding the amount of such Claims shall be delivered to the Shoom Stockholders on a pro-rata basis on the date one (1) year after the Closing Date (seven (7) years for the tax obligations of Shoom). If there are any claims during the first year after the Closing Date, then the Escrow Shares shall be applied first to the value of such claims, and if the value of the claims exceeds the value of the Escrow Shares, then the Escrow Cash shall be applied. After one (1) year after the Closing Date the escrow Cash shall apply only to claims related to the tax liabilities of Shoom, and shall be released to the Shoom Stockholders, on a pro-rata basis, on each of the seven (7) anniversary dates of the Closing Date in seven equal installments, with interest accrued through each release date. In the event that the aggregate Claims by Sysorex exceed the Escrow Cash and the value of the Escrow Shares (determined pursuant to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 5(c)), the Shoom Stockholders shall remain liable, severally but not jointly, and on a pro-rata basis, to Sysorex for such excess payment, subject to the limitations imposed in Section 5(c) below. Any Escrow Collateral not released to the Shoom Stockholders shall be forfeited by the Shoom Stockholders and released and transferred to Sysorex in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement.
Section 2. Other Agreements.
(a) Lock-Up of Consideration Shares.
(i) The resale of Consideration Shares shall be pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements, in the form of Exhibit 2(a) attached hereto (the “Lock-Up”) in compliance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and according to the following terms and conditions:
Provided that all executive officers and directors of Sysorex have agreed to the same restriction, as a condition to receipt of the Consideration Shares, Shoom Stockholders holding at least a majority of the underlying shares of Shoom will be required to agree that all of the Consideration Shares received by such Shoom Stockholders shall not be eligible for sale until six months (the “Lock-up Period”) after the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-1, for an underwritten public offering (the “Secondary”). Sysorex will prepare and file the Registration Statement at its expense, to register for resale all Consideration Shares held by the Shoom Stockholders (the “Registration Statement”), as promptly as practicable following the effective date of the Secondary Registration Statement. Sysorex shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after filing and to keep such Registration Statement effective for at least eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date of the Secondary Registration Statement. After the Lock-up Period, there shall be no restrictions or limitations imposed by Sysorex on the selling of shares by the Shoom Stockholders, or their assigns. Sysorex may elect to waive this restriction from time to time based upon the then current market conditions and the desires of the Shoom Stockholders; provided, however, that Sysorex may not waive this restriction for any other holder of Sysorex Shares unless Sysorex also waives this restriction with regard to the Shoom Stockholders, on a pro-rata basis with such other holders of Sysorex Shares.
(ii) Sysorex may permit and assist Shoom Stockholders in making sales of shares during the Lock-Up Period if they so desire, if and when opportunities are available as set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement.
(iii) The limitations set forth in the Lock-Up shall apply to the Shoom Stockholders individually, and not as a group. Any sales of Consideration Shares in violation of the Lock-Up by any Shoom Stockholder shall constitute an event of default under the Lock-Up only as to such individual Shoom Stockholder and all proceeds in excess of the Merger Consideration from the sale of all Consideration Shares by such Shoom Stockholder prior to expiration of the Lock-Up shall be paid to Sysorex.
(iv) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2(a)(i) above, Sysorex reserves the right to waive the Lock-Up limitations and/or resale limitations set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement, in whole or in part.
(b) Stock Options. After Closing, all employees of Shoom as of the Effective Time shall be eligible to receive options to purchase shares of Common Stock of Sysorex under the Sysorex 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan. Promptly after the Effective Time, Sysorex shall issue incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 Sysorex Shares to such employees, in the respective amounts set forth opposite their names on Schedule A attached hereto, pursuant to Sysorex’s 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “Sysorex Options”), in the form of option attached hereto as Exhibit 2(b). The Sysorex Options will be exercisable for ten (10) years at a price equal to the fair market value of the Sysorex Shares as of the date the Sysorex Options are issued, and will be 25% vested on the Closing Date, with the remainder vesting in three equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Closing Date. If an employee of Shoom listed on Schedule A does not accept employment with the Surviving Corporation prior to the Effective Time (but not thereafter), the number of Sysorex Shares that were to have been covered by such employee’s option shall be added to the Sysorex Shares covered by options to be issued to employees of Shoom listed on Schedule A who do accept employment with the Surviving Corporation, on a pro-rata basis.
(c) Shareholder Approval. Shoom shall immediately after the date hereof take all action necessary in accordance with the CCC and its articles of incorporation and bylaws to convene a special meeting of Shoom’s shareholders to consider the approval of this Agreement and the Merger (the “Shoom Stockholders Meeting”) or to secure the written consent of its shareholders with respect thereto within no more than thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement. Shoom shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the vote or consent of its shareholders required to effect the Merger.
(d) William Freschi (CEO/CFO) and Dan Cole (President/COO), Michael Lynch (Executive VP/GM), and Sharon Ryoji (Senior VP, Customer Services) shall each enter into an employment agreement with the Surviving Corporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2(d).

As a condition to receipt of the Consideration Shares, each Shoom Stockholder will be required to acknowledge that if the number of Sysorex Shares acquired by such Shoom Stockholder, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock of Sysorex owned by such Shoom Stockholder at such time would result in Shoom Stockholder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding Sysorex Shares and the Sysorex Shares are then registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, such Shoom Stockholder shall comply with the disclosure requirements of Schedule 13D and, if such amount exceeds 9.99%, such Shoom Stockholder shall also comply under the reporting obligations of Sections 16(a) and 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

(i) Listing and Disclosure Documents. Except as set forth in Schedule 4(i) of the Sysorex Disclosure Schedule attached hereto, as of the Signing Date, Sysorex does not have and has never had securities of any class registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the only filings that Sysorex has made with the Securities and Exchange Commission include an S-1 Registration Statement filed on August 12, 2013 and Notices of Exempt Offering of Securities on Form D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sysorex Shares are listed for trading on the OTC Markets maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

Sysorex has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Sysorex Shares on the OTC Markets. As of its respective filing date, each Disclosure Document complied in all material respects with the rules and regulations of FINRA, and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Sysorex has filed its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 (the “Sysorex Financials”), all of which comply with the rules and regulations of FINRA and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated financial position of Sysorex and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods shown (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

(l) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except as set forth on Schedule 4(l) of the Sysorex Disclosure Schedule attached hereto, Sysorex and MergerSub are in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to occupational health and safety and the environment, except for instances of noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change on Sysorex. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents, Sysorex or MergerSub have not received any written communication during the past two years from a Governmental Entity that alleges that Sysorex or MergerSub is not in compliance in any material respect with any applicable Law.

Shoom has no plan or intention to acquire or redeem (and no related person to Shoom within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e)(3) has any plan or intention to acquire) any of the Sysorex stock issued in the Merger, other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, either directly or through any transaction agreement or arrangement with another person.

Section 5. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Indemnification. All representations and warranties made by Shoom, the Shoom Stockholders, MergerSub and Sysorex in this Agreement, including without limitation all representations and warranties made in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto or certificate delivered hereunder, shall survive the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”); provided, however, that all representations and warranties made by Shoom and the Shoom Stockholders in Section 3(r) hereof, and all representations and warranties made by the MergerSub and Sysorex in Section 4(i) hereof, shall survive the Closing until and through one (1) month after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (the “Extended Survival Date”); provided, however, that representations which are the basis for claims asserted under this Agreement, of which an Indemnitee notifies the indemnifying party prior to the expiration of such applicable time periods, shall also survive until the final resolution of those claims. Covenants and other executory obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing. The right to indemnification, payment of damages and other remedies based on representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.
(a) Indemnity by the Shoom Stockholders. Provided that the Merger contemplated by this Agreement is closed, the Shoom Stockholders shall, severally but not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the MergerSub and Sysorex and their respective Affiliates, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives (collectively, the “Sysorex Parties”) from and against all liabilities, losses, costs or damages whatsoever (including expenses and reasonable fees of legal counsel) (“Claims”) arising out of or relating to Claims of which Sysorex notifies the Shareholder Representative prior to the Survival Date or the Extended Survival Date, if applicable, in the event that it is determined that such Claims arise out of or from or are based upon (i) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3 made by Shoom, (ii) the non-performance by Shoom in any material respect of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Shoom under this Agreement, (iii) the assessment of any material federal, state, local or other tax liabilities due and payable by Shoom for all periods through August 31, 2013 or (iv) the assessment of any federal, state or local fines resulting from the provision of services or shipment of any product of Shoom to and including through the Closing Date; or (v) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation or warranty made by a Shoom Stockholder in the Shareholder Representation Statement delivered by such Shoom Stockholder (in which case only such individual Shoom Stockholder shall have such indemnification obligation).
(b) Indemnification by MergerSub and Sysorex. Provided that the Merger contemplated by this Agreement is closed, the MergerSub and Sysorex hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shoom Stockholders from and against all Claims arising out of or from or based upon (i) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4 by the MergerSub and/or Sysorex; (ii) the non-performance by the MergerSub and/or Sysorex in any material respect of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the MergerSub and/or Sysorex under this Agreement; and (iii) any liabilities arising out of the operation of the business of Shoom by the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time.
(c) Defense of Claims. Whenever any Claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing within 30 days after the Indemnitee has actual knowledge that it is entitled to indemnification of such Claim constituting the basis for such Claim (the “Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim shall specify all facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such indemnification claim and the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom.
If the facts giving rise to any such indemnification shall involve any actual, threatened or possible claim or demand by any person against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled (without prejudice to the right of the Indemnitee to participate at its expense through co-counsel of its own choosing) to contest or defend such claim at his expense and through counsel of his own choosing if he gives written notice of his intention to do so to the Indemnitee within 10 days after receipt of the Notice of Claim; provided that Indemnitor diligently prosecutes or defends such claim.
The Indemnitee shall not settle any claim that would give rise to liability on the part of the Indemnitor under the indemnity contained in this Section without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. If a firm offer is made to settle a claim or litigation defended by the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor refuses to accept such offer within 20 days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnitee of the terms of such offer, then, in such event, the Indemnitee shall continue to contest or defend such claim and shall be indemnified pursuant to the terms hereof. If a firm offer is made to settle a claim or litigation and the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing that the Indemnitor desires to accept and agree to such settlement, but the Indemnitee elects not to accept or agree to it, the Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such claim or litigation and in such event, the total maximum liability of the Indemnitor to indemnify or otherwise reimburse the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to such claim or litigation shall be limited to and shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer, plus reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to the date of notice that the Indemnitor desires to accept such settlement.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Shoom Stockholders’ nor MergerSub’s maximum liability for indemnification shall exceed a total of five million five hundred thousand dollars ($5,500,000). Further, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Shoom Stockholder shall have any liability for indemnity obligations in excess of such Shoom Stockholder’s pro-rata portion of the total liability for such indemnity, based upon the relative numbers of Shoom Shares held by the Shoom Stockholders. For example, if the total aggregate indemnity liability of the Shoom Stockholders as a group is $1,000,000, and a Shoom Stockholder held 10% of the Shoom Shares, such Shoom Stockholder’s maximum liability for indemnification shall be $100,000.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 by the Indemnitee shall be asserted or claimed except for the amount of such Claim in excess of the aggregate, the sum of $25,000 (the “Shoom Stockholders’ Basket”). Any Loss suffered by MergerSub for payment of any insurance deductible in connection with any proceedings shall be excluded from the Shoom Stockholders’ Basket.
All claims for indemnification against the Shoom Stockholders shall be satisfied by the Shoom Stockholders on a pro-rata basis first by forfeiture of Escrow Shares and Escrow Cash held pursuant to Section 1(i) and if not satisfied thereby, by forfeiture of additional Consideration Shares. For purposes of determining the number of Escrow Shares or other Consideration Shares to be forfeited in order to satisfy a claim for indemnity, any Escrow Shares or Consideration Shares that are forfeited in satisfaction of indemnity obligations shall be deemed to have a value of the greater of (i) two dollars ($2.00) per share, or (ii) the average closing price of such Sysorex Shares for the ten (10) trading days preceding the date on which such shares are forfeited in satisfaction of indemnity obligations. Notwithstanding the above, any Shoom Stockholder shall be entitled to elect to satisfy some or all of such Shoom Stockholder’s indemnity obligations hereunder in cash rather than through forfeiture of Escrow Shares or other Consideration Shares.
(d) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the remedies available to the Sysorex Parties under this Section 5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Sysorex Parties against the Shoom Stockholders in relation to this Agreement.
(e) Shareholder Representative. In the event that the Merger is approved by the Shoom Stockholders, effective upon such vote, and without further act of any stockholder, William Freschi shall be deemed appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Shareholder Representative”) for each Shoom Stockholder (except such shareholders, if any, as shall have perfected their dissenters’ rights under the CCC), for and on behalf of the Shoom Stockholders, to give and receive notices and communications, to object to Claims for indemnification, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to Claims for which indemnification is sought, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Shareholder Representative while acting in good faith. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative shall constitute a decision of all the Shoom Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Shoom Stockholders, and the Sysorex Parties may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of every such Shoom Stockholder. The Shareholder Representative may be removed and replaced by the Shoom Stockholders from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Sysorex; provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority of the Consideration Shares agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted Shareholder Representative. Any vacancy in the position of Shareholder Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of a majority in interest of the Consideration Shares. In the event that a vacancy in the position of Shareholder Representative is not filled by a majority in interest of the Consideration Shares, Sysorex may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to such position. No bond shall be required of the Shareholder Representative, and the Shareholder Representative shall not receive compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Shoom Stockholders. Notwithstanding the above, the Shareholder representative shall not have the power to settle or compromise any Claim relating to the inaccuracy of representations or warranties made by a Shoom Stockholder in the Shareholder Representation Statement delivered by such Shoom Stockholder for which only such individual Shoom Stockholder has indemnification obligations.
