This Agreement and Plan
of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”)
contains representations and warranties that XenSource, Inc.
(“XenSource”) and Citrix Systems, Inc.
(“Citrix”) made to each other. These representations
and warranties were made only for the purposes of the Merger
Agreement and solely for the benefit of XenSource and Citrix as of
specific dates, may be subject to important limitations and
qualifications agreed to by XenSource and Citrix and included in
confidential disclosure schedules provided by XenSource to Citrix
in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement, and may not
be complete. Furthermore, these representations and warranties may
have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk
between XenSource and Citrix instead of establishing these matters
as facts, and may or may not have been accurate as of any specific
date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of the filing
of the Merger Agreement by Citrix with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, you should not rely upon the
representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement as

XenSource.

- 18 -
Sheet shall be substantially in the form

policies as those used in preparing the Company Balance Sheet. The
Closing Date Balance Sheet shall set forth Working Capital (the
“ Closing Working Capital ”) and Debt (the
“ Closing Debt ”) as of the Closing, each as

Closing Debt by notifying Parent in writing of each disputed item,
specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within 30 days of
Parent’s delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet pursuant
to clause (i) above. If the Stockholder Representative
delivers a notice of disagreement within such 30-day period, the
Stockholder Representative and Parent shall, during the 45 days
following such delivery, each use good faith efforts to reach
agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to finally
determine the Closing Date Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital
and/or Closing Debt. If the Stockholder Representative and Parent
are unable to reach agreement concerning the Closing Date Balance
Sheet, Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Debt during such
45-day period, they shall promptly thereafter submit the dispute to
the Accounting Referee for resolution pursuant to
Section 2.6(g).
(iii) The Closing Date
Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital and Closing Debt shall be
deemed conclusively determined for purposes of this Agreement upon

forth in clause (ii) above, (y) the written resolution of
all disputes pursuant to clause (ii) by Parent and the
Stockholder Representative, and (z) the resolution of all
disputes by the Accounting Referee pursuant to Section 2.6(g).
Within three Business Days of such conclusive determination, if
(x) the Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated
Working Capital, and/or (y) the Closing Debt is greater than
the Estimated Debt (the absolute value of the amount by which
(A) the Estimated Working Capital minus the Estimated
Debt exceeds (B) the Closing Working Capital minus the
Closing Debt, the “ Adjustment Amount ”), then
Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct
the Escrow Agent in writing to transfer from the Escrow Amount to
Parent an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount, and the Adjustment
Amount shall be deemed a decrease to the Merger
Consideration.
(g) Adjustment Dispute
Resolution . If the Stockholder Representative and Parent are
unable to reach agreement concerning the Closing Date Balance
Sheet, Closing Working Capital, and/or Closing Debt pursuant to
Section 2.6(f), they shall submit such dispute to
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, or such other nationally recognized
independent accounting expert selected by Parent and reasonably
acceptable to the Stockholder Representative (the “
Accounting Referee ”) for resolution pursuant to this
Section 2.6(g) and instruct the Accounting Referee to review
the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of final
determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the calculation of
Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Debt, as the case may be. In
making such determination and calculations, the Accounting Referee
shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Date
Balance Sheet and/or Parent’s
- 19 -
calculation of Closing Working Capital
and/or Closing Debt as to which the Stockholder Representative has
disagreed in writing, and shall apply the same principles,
practices and policies utilized by the Company in its preparation
of the Company Balance Sheet. Parent and the Stockholder
Representative shall instruct the Accounting Referee to use its
best efforts to deliver to the Stockholder Representative and
Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 30
days after submission) a report setting forth the Accounting
Referee’s calculation of the disputed amounts. Such report
shall be final and binding upon the Stockholder Representative, the
Stockholders, Parent and the Interim Surviving Corporation and the
resulting Closing Date Balance Sheet and calculation of Closing
Working Capital and Closing Debt shall be final for all purposes of
this Agreement. Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder
Representative on behalf of the Stockholders, on the other hand,
shall each pay their own fees and expenses and one-half of the
costs and charges of the Accounting Referee’s review and
report. The Stockholders’ share of these costs will be
deducted from the Escrow Amount, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 10.5(b).
(h) Fractional Shares
. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued, but
in lieu thereof, each Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled
to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (based on the
aggregate number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such
Stockholder) shall be entitled to receive from Parent an amount of
cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of
(i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the
Parent Average Closing Price.
(i) Withholding and
Deductions . Each of Parent, the Company, the Interim Surviving
Corporation, the Final Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent and the
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the
consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, the
Transaction Bonus Plan or any Related Agreement to any Person
(i) such amounts as Parent, the Company, the Interim Surviving
Corporation, the Final Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent or the
Escrow Agent may determine it is required to deduct and withhold
with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any
other provision of Tax Law and (ii) the amount of any
outstanding loans (including any accrued but unpaid interest
thereon and any amounts in respect thereof) owed by such Person to
the Company at the Effective Time. To the extent that amounts are
so withheld pursuant to clause (i) above, such withheld
amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been
paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and
withholding was made and Parent shall timely deposit such withheld
amounts with the applicable Tax Authority. Parent, the Interim
Surviving Corporation and the Final Surviving Entity are hereby
authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of at fair market value
such portion of the Stock Consideration as is necessary to provide
sufficient funds to Parent or the Interim Surviving Corporation, as
the case may be, in order to enable it to comply with such
deduction or withholding requirements to the extent that there is
not sufficient cash consideration in connection with any such
payment to make such payment fully in cash.

provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company

Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost
such

dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or the CGCL, then, as of
the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event,
such holder’s shares that were Dissenting Shares shall
automatically be converted into and represent only the right to
receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to and subject to
Section 2.6 (subject to the escrow contribution provisions of
Section 2.6(d) and the indemnification provisions set forth in
Article X hereof) without interest thereon upon surrender of the
certificate representing such shares.

Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal
of any shares of Company Capital Stock, withdrawals of such
demands, and any other instruments or notices served pursuant to
the DGCL or the CGCL, as applicable, on the Company and
(ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL or

record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of
Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest,

against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Interim

Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed and make any processing fee payments to the
Exchange Agent.

the Company does not implicate any rights or obligations under the

holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Stock Rights have been
