FORM OF
INTEL ASSET TRANSFER AGREEMENT1
     THIS INTEL ASSET TRANSFER AGREEMENT (the “Intel Asset Transfer Agreement” and, as referred to herein, this “Agreement”), dated as of                      ___, 200___, is by and between Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Intel”), and [NEWCO], a company with limited liability organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Newco”). Intel and Newco are sometimes referred to herein as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.”
     A. Intel desires to transfer, and to cause certain of its Affiliates to transfer (Intel and such Affiliates, collectively, the “Intel Transferors”) to Newco and its Affiliates, and Newco desires to acquire, and to cause its Affiliates to acquire, from Intel and such Intel Affiliates, the Intel Transferred Assets in consideration for the issuance by Newco of the Intel Newco Shares, the payment by Newco of the Intel Cash Consideration, and the assumption by Newco or its Affiliates of the Intel Transferred Liabilities, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
     B. Intel, ST, FP and FP Holdco entered into that certain Master Agreement, dated May 22, 2007, that provides, among other things, for the simultaneous consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the ST Asset Contribution Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such agreements and the Master Agreement.
     C. The Parties intend that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the transfer of the Intel Transferred Assets and issuance of the Intel Consideration, as contemplated by this Agreement, be treated as described on Schedule 2.6 to the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
     1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Appendix A to this Agreement.
     1.2 Defined Terms Generally. The definitions set forth or referred to in Appendix A shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed
 
1   Intel Transferors and Newco Affiliates to be added as Parties.

 


 

by the phrase “without limitation”. All references herein to Articles, Sections and Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed to be references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. Unless the context shall otherwise require, any reference to any contract, instrument, statute, rule or regulation is a reference to it as amended and supplemented from time to time (and, in the case of a statute, rule or regulation, to any successor provision). Any reference in this Agreement to a “day” or a number of “days” (without the explicit qualification of “Business”) shall be interpreted as a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days.
ARTICLE II
TRANSFER OF ASSETS
     2.1 Intel Transferred Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Newco (or, to the extent indicated on Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, an Affiliate of Newco) shall acquire from the Intel Transferors, and Intel shall transfer, assign and convey to Newco (or, to the extent indicated on Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, a Subsidiary of Newco), or cause to be transferred, assigned and conveyed by the other Intel Transferors to Newco (or an Affiliate of Newco, in each case, as set forth on Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter), free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, all right, title and interest of the Intel Transferors in, to and under the following assets, as the same shall exist at the Effective Time, after giving effect to any changes therein pursuant to Sections 4.9 and 4.12 of the Master Agreement (subject to the ultimate paragraph hereof with respect to assets transferred, assigned and conveyed to a Intel Transferred Entity prior to the Closing) (collectively, the “Intel Transferred Assets”):
     (a) the Intel Equipment;
     (b) the Intel Transferred Purchase Orders;
     (c) the Intel Transferred Sales Orders, including any rights that Intel or any Subsidiary of Intel may have in any Post-Closing Accounts Receivable of Newco and its Subsidiaries or the Intel Business (including those of the Intel Transferred Entities);
     (d) subject to Section 2.5, the Owned Intel Real Property, the Leased Intel Real Property, and the Intel Leases, in each case as and to the extent contemplated by the Intel Facility Transfer Term Sheets;
     (e) subject to Section 2.5, the Intel Transferred Contracts;
     (f) the Intel Prepayments;
     (g) the Intel Transferred Patents;
     (h) the Intel Transferred Trade Secrets;
     (i) the Intel Transferred Copyrights;
     (j) the Intel Transferred Trademarks;

2


 

     (k) the Intel Transferred Permits;
     (l) the Intel Books and Records;
     (m) the Intel Transferred Interests;
     (n) the Intel Transferred Inventory;
     (o) the Intel Transferred Claims;
     (p) the Intel Transferred Entity Books and Records;
     (q) the Intel Transferred Systems;
     (r) the licenses and other rights transferred by Intel to Newco pursuant to the Intel Intellectual Property Agreement; and
     (s) any assets or properties listed in any new schedule to the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter delivered to Newco pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Master Agreement;
     provided that in no event shall the Intel Transferred Assets include any Intel Excluded Asset.
     The Intel Transferred Intellectual Property shall be subject to any (i) licenses retained by Intel or its Affiliates or granted to Intel or its Affiliates pursuant to any Intel Ancillary Agreement, (ii) licenses and Contracts with use restrictions existing on the date hereof granted to or by Intel or its Subsidiaries and (iii) licenses and Contracts with use restrictions entered into by Intel or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business not in violation of this Agreement prior to the Closing Date. The Intel Transferred Intellectual Property may be further obligated (either prior to the date of the Master Agreement or in the ordinary course of business between such date and the Closing Date) to be non-exclusively licensed as a result of Intel’s or its Affiliate’s participation in various Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Standard Definition Organizations (SDOs), and similar organizations which may impose obligations to non-exclusively license Intel Transferred Intellectual Property to third parties. To the extent that Intel is required to ensure that successors with respect to the Intel Transferred Patents assume such obligations to license, Newco hereby assumes such obligations.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Intel Transferred Asset owned by a Intel Transferred Entity at the Effective Time, in lieu of transferring such Intel Transferred Asset, Intel shall transfer, assign and convey, or cause another Intel Transferor to transfer, assign and convey, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, all of the outstanding equity interests of such Intel Transferred Entity, which interests shall be included in the Intel Transferred Interests.
     2.2 Intel Excluded Assets. Newco and Intel expressly understand and agree that all assets of Intel and its Subsidiaries other than the Intel Transferred Assets (collectively, the “Intel Excluded Assets”), shall be excluded from the Intel Transferred Assets, including, but not limited to:

3


 

     (a) all assets, tangible or intangible, real or personal, that are not specifically identified under Section 2.1, including all of Intel’s Intellectual Property other than the Intel Transferred Intellectual Property;
     (b) all Contracts that are not Intel Transferred Contracts;
     (c) all Prepayments of Intel associated with Contracts that are not Intel Transferred Contracts or other obligations not assumed by Newco;
     (d) all Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable of Intel and its Subsidiaries;
     (e) all Cash and Cash Equivalents of Intel and its Subsidiaries;
     (f) all bank accounts of Intel and its Subsidiaries, other than bank accounts of the Intel Transferred Entities;
     (g) all Intel Employee Plans;
     (h) all Intel Excluded Claims;
     (i) all rights to or claims for refunds or credits of Taxes (including penalties) paid by Intel or any of its Subsidiaries, or any member of any consolidated, affiliated, combined or unitary group of which Intel is or has been a member, other than refunds of Taxes with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period paid by the Intel Transferred Entities or Newco or any of its Subsidiaries;
     (j) all rights, properties, and assets which have been used in the Intel Business and which shall have been transferred (including transfers by way of sale), licensed or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business (other than to Intel or any Subsidiary of Intel) prior to the Effective Time and not in violation of the terms of this Agreement or Section 4.9 of the Master Agreement;
     (k) except as expressly provided in Section 2.1(q), all enterprise software, database management systems and networks of Intel or its Subsidiaries, including all sales management, engineering, materials, business planning, manufacturing, logistics, finance and accounting systems utilized by the Intel Business;
     (l) the minute books, stock ledgers, accounting records, Tax Returns and others records relating to Taxes, in each case of Intel or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Intel Transferred Entities), other than the Intel Books and Records;
     (m) internal reports relating to the business activities of Intel and its Subsidiaries that are not Intel Transferred Assets;
     (n) insurance policies and rights, claims or causes of action thereunder, including Claims which Intel or any of its Affiliates may have under any insurance contracts or policies insuring the Intel Transferred Assets;

4


 

     (o) all of the assets specifically identified on Schedule 2.2(o) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter; and
     (p) any asset of the Intel Transferred Entities that is not a Intel Transferred Asset.
     On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Closing, each Intel Transferred Entity holding Intel Excluded Assets shall transfer, assign and convey all of its right, title and interest in and to such Intel Excluded Assets, including any and all intercompany Accounts Receivable of such Intel Transferred Entity, to Intel or a Subsidiary of Intel designated by Intel, such that no Intel Transferred Entity shall hold any Intel Excluded Asset as of the Closing Date.
     2.3 Intel Transferred Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Intel Ancillary Agreements, effective at the Effective Time, Newco (or, to the extent indicated on Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, a Subsidiary of Newco) shall assume, and shall fully pay, perform, fulfill and discharge when due, the following Liabilities of Intel or its Subsidiaries, it being understood that certain of the Liabilities set forth below may be a Liability of a Intel Transferred Entity, the interests in which are transferred to Newco (or a Subsidiary of Newco as indicated on Schedule 2.6 to the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter) (collectively, the “Intel Transferred Liabilities”):
     (a) all Liabilities under or arising out of the Intel Transferred Contracts that are required to be paid or performed on and after the Effective Time;
     (b) all Liabilities that are expressly assumed under this Agreement;
     (c) all Liabilities to the extent accruing, arising out of, or relating to the operation and ownership of the Intel Business and the Intel Transferred Assets by Newco and its Subsidiaries on and after the Effective Time;
     (d) all Liabilities (including any Intel Employee Agreements) that are assumed by operation of Applicable Law related to the Intel Transferred Employees;
     (e) any Taxes (x) of a Intel Transferred Entity, or arising from the Intel Transferred Assets or Intel Business, in either case allocable to a Post-Closing Tax Period, except to the extent otherwise allocated to Intel pursuant to Section 5.8 or as described in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 6.2(g) and (y) otherwise allocated to Newco, pursuant to Section 5.8;
     (f) the Intel Post-Closing Product Obligations; and
     (g) all Intel Post-Closing Environmental Liabilities;
     provided that in no event shall the Intel Transferred Liabilities include any Intel Excluded Liability.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Intel Transferred Liability owed by a Intel Transferred Entity at the Effective Time, in lieu of the assumption by Newco of such Intel

5


 

Transferred Liability from such Intel Transferred Entity, such Intel Transferred Liability shall be retained at the Effective Time by such Intel Transferred Entity, and Newco shall, or shall cause such Intel Transferred Entity, or successor thereto, to pay or otherwise satisfy and discharge such Intel Transferred Liability on a timely basis after the Effective Time.
     2.4 Intel Excluded Liabilities. Except for those Liabilities expressly assumed by Newco pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 5.8, Newco shall not assume and shall not be liable for, and Intel shall retain and remain, as between Intel and Newco, solely liable for and obligated to discharge, all of the debts, expenses, contracts, agreements, commitments, obligations and other Liabilities of any nature of Intel or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Intel Excluded Liabilities”), including the following:
     (a) any Liability for breaches by Intel or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time of any Contract or any Liability for payments or amounts due under any Contract prior to the Effective Time;
     (b) any Liability for Taxes attributable to or imposed upon Intel or any of its Subsidiaries, or attributable to or imposed upon the Intel Business, the Intel Transferred Entities or the Intel Transferred Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period other than any Liability for Taxes allocated to Newco pursuant to Section 5.8 and any Liability for Taxes otherwise allocated to Intel pursuant to Section 5.8;
     (c) all Pre-Closing Accounts Payable of Intel and its Subsidiaries;
     (d) any and all Liabilities under Intel Employee Plans and Intel Employee Agreements, including any Liabilities arising in connection with any change-in-control or similar compensatory payment arrangement which is triggered in whole or in part by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including any retention bonus, stay bonus or similar payment (other than the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities, the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amounts, or those Liabilities assumed by Newco pursuant to Section 5.11(c));
     (e) any Liabilities or obligations with respect to the Intel Business Employees including the Intel Transferred Employees that arise prior to the Effective Time (or, with respect to each Intel Transferred Employee, such other date on which the Intel Transferred Employee ceases to be employed by Intel, if later) (other than the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities, the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amounts, or those Liabilities assumed by Newco pursuant to Section 5.11(c));
     (f) any Liabilities or obligations with respect to any Intel Business Employees who do not become Intel Transferred Employees and any Liabilities of the Intel Transferred Entities with respect to any employee who does not become a Intel Transferred Employee;
     (g) any Liability for or in respect of any Indebtedness, other than the Contemplated Financing;
     (h) any Liability to the extent arising out of the Intel Excluded Assets;

6


 

     (i) the Intel Pre-Closing Product Obligations;
     (j) any Liability of the Intel Transferred Entities that is not a Intel Transferred Liability;
     (k) any Intel Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities; and
     (l) any Liability of Intel or any of its Subsidiaries that is the subject of any existing Proceedings as of the Closing Date, including the Proceedings set forth in Schedule 3.7 and the claims against Intel or its Subsidiaries set forth in Schedule 3.11 to the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, in each case, to the extent arising or accruing prior to the Effective Time, but in any event not including any Liability to the extent arising or accruing after the Effective Time.
     On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Closing, Intel, or a Subsidiary of Intel designated by Intel and reasonably acceptable to Newco shall assume, and shall thereafter pay, perform, fulfill and discharge when due any Intel Excluded Liability of each Intel Transferred Entity, including any and all Indebtedness of, and intercompany Accounts Payable to, Intel and its Subsidiaries, pursuant to an assumption of liability agreement in a form to be mutually agreed between Intel and Newco (“Intel Assumption of Excluded Liabilities”).
     2.5 Assignment of Contracts and Rights.
     (a) Anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Intel Transferred Contract, Intel Transferred Permit, or other Intel Transferred Asset, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a party thereto or the receipt of any Governmental Approvals or the satisfaction of any other requirement applicable to such assignment, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way result in the loss of any material benefit under, or any material modification to, the rights of Newco, Intel or any of Intel’s Subsidiaries thereunder. Intel and Newco will use commercially reasonable efforts (but without any payment of money by Intel) to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Intel Transferred Contract, Intel Transferred Permit or other Intel Transferred Asset or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Newco as Newco may reasonably request; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 2.5 of the Intel Intellectual Property Agreement with respect to the sublicensing of certain Third Party Claims to Newco, Intel shall have no obligation to transfer or assign any license of any Intellectual Property other than the Intel Transferred Intellectual Property or any licenses granted by Intel in connection with the sale, distribution and license of the Intel Products in the ordinary course of business that are not Intel Transferred Contracts. Subject to the obligations of Intel set forth in Section 5.6, Section 4.3 of the Master Agreement, Section 2.6 of the Intel Intellectual Property Agreement, the Intel Transition Services Agreement and the Intel Supply Agreement, Newco agrees that Intel shall not have any liability to Newco arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent or to satisfy any other such requirement that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated

7


 

by this Agreement or the Intel Ancillary Agreements or because of any circumstances resulting from any such failure; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5(a) is intended to affect Intel’s representation in Section 3.8(b) regarding Intel Contractual Consents.
     (b) If any such consent is not obtained, or any such other requirement is not satisfied, prior to the Closing and as a result thereof Newco shall be prevented by such third party from receiving the rights and benefits with respect to such Intel Transferred Contract, Intel Transferred Permit or other Intel Transferred Asset intended to be transferred hereunder, or if any attempted assignment would adversely affect the rights of Intel or any of its Subsidiaries thereunder so that Newco would not in fact receive all such rights or Intel or any of its Subsidiaries would forfeit or otherwise lose the benefit of rights that Intel or any such Subsidiary is entitled to retain, Intel and Newco shall cooperate to discuss, determine and implement in good faith a mutually agreeable reasonable arrangement to the extent practicable, under which (i) Newco would obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under such asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement, including potentially by subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Newco (but not more extensive than the existing rights of Intel and its Subsidiaries with respect to the Intel Business), or (ii) Intel would enforce for the benefit of Newco, with Newco assuming Intel’s obligations, any and all rights of Intel and its Subsidiaries against a third party thereto; provided, that Newco shall reimburse Intel for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are imposed on Intel and any of its Subsidiaries in bearing such economic burdens and obligations that otherwise would have been borne by Newco if the applicable asset had been transferred to Newco at the Effective Time. Newco agrees that neither Intel nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any liability to Newco arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent, and no condition set forth in the Master Agreement, other than the conditions set forth in Section 5.1(f) and Section 5.2(f) shall be deemed not satisfied, as a result of (x) the failure to obtain any such consent or any circumstances resulting therefrom or (y) any suit, action or proceeding commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent or any circumstances resulting therefrom; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5(b) is intended to affect Intel’s representation in Section 3.8(b) regarding Intel Contractual Consents.
     (c) No other rights are granted hereunder, by implication, estoppel, statute or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document.
     2.6 Consideration. The consideration payable at the Closing by Newco and its Affiliates to Intel and the other Intel Transferors for the Intel Transferred Assets shall consist of:
     (a) [45.10% of the Shares] Ordinary Shares of Newco (the “Intel Newco Shares”), reduced by the number of Ordinary Shares purchased by Intel or its Affiliates pursuant to the Intel Option (the “Intel Option Shares”);

8


 

     (b) cash in the amount of $432,000,000, increased by the amount, if any, of the consideration paid by Intel or its Affiliates for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Intel Option (the “Intel Cash Consideration”); and
     (c) the assumption by Newco and certain of its Subsidiaries of the Intel Transferred Liabilities being assumed by Newco (together with the Intel Newco Shares, the Intel Option and the Intel Cash Consideration, the “Intel Consideration”).
Such consideration shall be allocated among Intel and the other Intel Transferors as described in Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter (as such allocation shall be determined pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Master Agreement and attached hereto at the Closing), and shall be treated as having been paid by Newco on behalf of certain of its Subsidiaries also as provided in Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, which Schedule 2.6 shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Third Party Appraisal. Each of the Parties hereto agrees to report the transactions contemplated hereby for U.S. federal, state and foreign Tax purposes in accordance with such allocation of the Intel Consideration and as set forth on such schedule. Intel shall prepare Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter subject to Newco’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such schedule shall be adjusted for any changes to the Intel Cash Consideration, in a manner consistent with the Third Party Appraisal and otherwise as Intel determines in its reasonable discretion.
     2.7 Inventory Adjustment to Consideration. The Intel Cash Consideration shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing Date in accordance with the following procedure:
     (a) Promptly after the Closing Date, Intel will prepare and present to Newco a statement in reasonable detail of the Intel Inventory Value as of the end of Intel’s first fiscal quarter of 2007 and as of the Effective Time (the “Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement”). The Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement shall be delivered to Newco no later than 90 days after the Closing Date.
     (b) Newco and its accountants shall have the right to review the work papers of Intel and its accountants utilized in preparing the Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement and shall have full access to the books, records, properties and personnel of Intel for purposes of verifying the accuracy and fairness of the presentation of the Intel Inventory Value in the Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement. The Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement shall be binding on Newco, unless Newco presents to Intel written notice of disagreement with the Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement (“Intel Notice of Disagreement”) within 120 days after the Closing Date specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the disagreement.
     (c) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Intel Notice of Disagreement, Intel and Newco shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to any amount specified in the Intel Notice of Disagreement. If Newco and Intel are unable to resolve any such disagreement within 30 days after Intel receives the Newco Notice of Disagreement, the disagreement shall be referred for final determination to Deloitte & Touche USA LLP or if Deloitte & Touche

9


 

USA LLP is unable or unwilling to make such final determination, to such other independent accounting firm as the parties shall mutually designate. The accounting firm so designated to make the final determination is hereinafter referred to as the “Independent Accountants.”
     (d) Intel Inventory Value as of the end of Intel’s first fiscal quarter of 2007 and as of the Effective Time shall be deemed to have been finally determined upon the first to occur of (i) acceptance of the Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement, (ii) Newco’s failure to object thereto within 150 days after the Closing Date, (iii) resolution by mutual agreement of the parties after timely delivery of the Newco Notice of Disagreement or (iv) notification by the Independent Accountants of their final determination thereof.
     (e) If the Intel Inventory Value as of the Effective Time, as finally determined, is less than the Minimum Committed Intel Inventory Value, the Intel Cash Consideration shall be deemed reduced by such difference. Intel shall cause the amount of any such reduction in the Intel Cash Consideration to be refunded to Newco by the Intel Transferor responsible for such reduction, as determined by Intel, within 10 days after such final determination. If the Intel Inventory Value as of the Effective Time, as finally determined, is equal to or greater than the Minimum Committed Intel Inventory Value, there shall be no adjustment in the Intel Cash Consideration.
     (f) The fees and disbursements of the accountants of Newco shall be paid by Newco. The fees and disbursements of Intel’s accountants shall be paid by Intel. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountants shall be paid based on a ratable allocation made as a part of its determination, based on the proportion by which the amount in dispute was determined in favor of Newco or Intel.
     2.8 Intel Transferred Employee Purchase Price Adjustment. The Intel Cash Consideration shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing Date in accordance with the following procedure:
     (a) Promptly after the Closing Date, Intel shall prepare a statement (the “Intel Preliminary Closing Statement”) setting forth the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities as of the Effective Time, and containing reasonably detailed supporting information, documents and calculations. Intel shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such preparation and review to be completed and the Preliminary Closing Statement to be delivered to Newco within 150 days after the Closing Date. The Preliminary Closing Statement shall be prepared by Intel from the books and records of Intel consistent with past practice and the Intel Financial Information and in accordance with GAAP.
     (b) Newco and its accountants shall have the right to review the work papers of Intel and its accountants utilized in preparing the Intel Preliminary Closing Statement and shall have full access to the books, records, properties and personnel of Intel and its Subsidiaries for purposes of verifying the accuracy and fairness of the presentation of the information in the Intel Preliminary Closing Statement. The Intel Preliminary Closing Statement shall be binding on Newco, unless Newco delivers to Intel written notice of

10


 

disagreement with any Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities set forth therein (“Notice of Disagreement”) within 150 days the Closing Date specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the disagreement, in which case the Intel Preliminary Closing Statement shall be binding on Newco only in respect of the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities set forth therein which are not the subject of a Notice of Disagreement.
     (c) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Intel and Newco shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to any Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If Newco and Intel are unable to resolve any such disagreement within 30 days after Intel receives a Notice of Disagreement, the disagreement shall be referred for final determination to Deloitte & Touche USA LLP or if Deloitte & Touche USA LLP is unable or unwilling to make such final determination, to such other independent accounting firm as the parties shall mutually designate. The accounting firm so designated to make the final determination is hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.8 as the “Intel Cash Independent Accountants.”
     (d) The Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities shall be deemed to have been finally determined upon the first to occur of (i) Newco’s failure to deliver to Intel a Notice of Disagreement with respect to such Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities 150 days after the Closing Date, (ii) resolution by mutual agreement of the parties after timely delivery of a Notice of Disagreement or (iii) notification by the Intel Cash Independent Accountants of their final determination thereof. Within ten days after the date on which all of the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities (as they may be revised pursuant to this Section 2.8) shall have become final and binding (the “Final Payment Date”), Intel shall pay Newco an amount equal to the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities.
     2.9 Capital Expenditures.
     (a) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Intel shall deliver to Newco a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of all capital expenditures made by Intel in accordance with the Intel Business Capital Expenditures Plan between April 1, 2007 and the Closing Date (“Actual Intel Capital Expenditures”). For purposes hereof, “Planned Intel Capital Expenditures” means (i) the planned amount of capital expenditures set forth in the Intel Business Capital Expenditures Plan for each fiscal quarter completed during the period from April 1, 2007 through the end of the last full fiscal quarter ending prior to the Closing Date plus (ii) a prorated amount equal to the planned amount of capital expenditures set forth in the Intel Business Capital Expenditures Plan for the fiscal quarter in which the Closing Date occurs multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in such fiscal quarter through the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such fiscal quarter. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the expiration of the then current Intel Business Capital Expenditures Plan, the Parties will agree in good faith on the modification of such Intel Business Capital Expenditures Plan to add additional planned amounts of capital expenditures for the following fiscal quarter

11


 

or quarters. Newco shall have full access to the Intel Books and Records, for purposes of verifying the accuracy and fairness of the schedule of Actual Intel Capital Expenditures delivered by Intel to Newco hereunder.
     (b) The schedule of Actual Intel Capital Expenditures shall be binding on Newco, unless Newco presents to Intel written notice of disagreement with the schedule of Actual Intel Capital Expenditures (“Intel Cap Ex Notice of Disagreement”) within 150 days after the Closing Date specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the disagreement.
     (c) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Intel Cap Ex Notice of Disagreement, Intel and Newco shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to any amount specified in the Intel Cap Ex Notice of Disagreement. If Newco and Intel are unable to resolve any such disagreement within 30 days after Intel receives the Intel Cap Ex Notice of Disagreement, the disagreement shall be referred for final determination to Deloitte & Touche USA LLP or if Deloitte & Touche USA LLP is unable or unwilling to make such final determination, to such other independent accounting firm as the parties shall mutually designate. The accounting firm so designated to make the final determination is hereinafter referred to as the “Cap Ex Independent Accountants.”
     (d) Actual Intel Capital Expenditures as of the Effective Time shall be deemed to have been finally determined upon the first to occur of (i) acceptance of the schedule of Actual Intel Capital Expenditures, (ii) Newco’s failure to object thereto within 150 days after the Closing Date, (iii) resolution by mutual agreement of the parties after timely delivery of the Intel Cap Ex Notice of Disagreement or (iv) notification by the Cap Ex Independent Accountants of their final determination thereof.
     (e) In the event the Actual Intel Capital Expenditures are less than the Planned Intel Capital Expenditures for the period from April 1, 2007 through the Closing Date, Intel shall pay to Newco within 10 days after the final determination the amount of the difference.
     (f) The fees and disbursements of the accountants of Newco shall be paid by Newco. The fees and disbursements of Intel’s accountants shall be paid by Intel. The fees and disbursements of the Cap Ex Independent Accountants shall be paid based on a ratable allocation made as a part of its determination, based on the proportion by which the amount in dispute was determined in favor of Newco or Intel.
     2.10 Deliveries by Newco. Newco shall, on or before the Closing, execute and deliver or cause to be delivered to the civil law notary (“civil law notary”), who shall execute and deliver the notarial deed of issue in respect of the Intel Newco Shares (with a copy to Intel):

     2.12 Closing. At the Closing:
     (a) The Intel Transferors shall deliver to Newco and its Affiliates the Intel Bills of Sale and, Intel, through its officers, agents and employees, will, except as set forth on Schedule 2.12(a), put Newco and its Affiliates, as applicable, in possession of all tangible Intel Transferred Assets at the facilities where they are located as of the Effective Time (other than such Intel Transferred Assets that are already owned by Intel Transferred Entities);
     (b) Intel and Newco and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, each shall execute and deliver each of the Intel Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and shall make any deliveries required thereunder;

Each of the Intel Transferors is qualified to conduct business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it conducts the Intel Business (to the extent such concept is recognized in such jurisdiction) other than such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Intel Material Adverse Effect.

The Transaction Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Intel Transferor which is a party thereto and, assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by Newco (or a Subsidiary of Newco) and the other parties thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and each of the Transaction Documents to which a Intel Transferor is a party constitutes, the legal, valid and binding agreement of such Intel Transferor, enforceable against such Intel Transferor in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent (a) that their enforceability may be subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or to general principles of equity or (b) indemnification provisions contained in the Shareholders’ Agreement may be limited by applicable securities laws.
     3.3 Governmental Authorization. Other than the Intel Approvals and ST Approvals, the execution, delivery and performance by each Intel Transferor of the Transaction Document(s) to which it is a party, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby, require no Governmental Approval.

     (b) The execution, delivery and performance by Intel of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Intel is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not, as of the Closing Date, constitute a default under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification, acceleration of, or a loss of any material benefit under any Contract identified on Schedule 3.4(b) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.4(b) shall not be deemed to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect as a result of (i) any action or omission by Newco that constitutes or results in a default by Intel or any Intel Affiliate or gives rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification, acceleration of, or a loss of any material benefit under any such Contact; and (ii) any withdrawal or voiding after the Closing of any consent granted prior to the Closing by a party to such Contract, which withdrawal or voiding purports to have retroactive effect to the Closing.

No Intel Transferor, nor any Intel Transferred Entity, is in breach of, or default under, any Intel Lease to which it is a party, except for such breaches or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have a Intel Material Adverse Effect.

17


 

business operations and employees) and the Intel Transferred Interests, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Intel Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of Intel, no Intel Transferor is subject to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority directly relating to the Intel Transferred Assets. To the Knowledge of Intel, no Intel Transferred Entity is subject to any material order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority.
     (b) Intel and its Subsidiaries are in possession of all Permits, except where the failure to have, or the suspension or cancellation of, any of the Permits would not reasonably be expected to have a Intel Material Adverse Effect. Intel and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all Permits and no suspension or cancellation of any of the Permits is pending or, to the Knowledge of Intel, threatened in writing, except, in each case, where the failure to so comply, or the suspension or cancellation of, any of the Permits would not reasonably be expected to have a Intel Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Intel Material Adverse Effect, (i) none of the Intel Transferred Permits will, assuming the related Intel Approvals and Newco Approvals have been obtained prior to the Closing Date, be terminated or impaired or become terminable, in whole or in part, as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Intel Ancillary Agreements and (ii) upon consummation of such transactions, Newco or its Subsidiaries will, assuming the related Intel Approvals and Newco Approvals have been obtained prior to the Closing Date, have all of the right, title and interest in all of the Intel Transferred Permits.

     3.10 Tax Matters.
     (a) Intel has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes relating to the Intel Transferred Assets and Intel Business allocable (as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)) to the Pre-Closing Tax Period that could become a liability of Newco or its Subsidiaries by reason of the transfer of the Intel Transferred Assets to Newco or its Subsidiaries as described herein or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Lien on any Intel Transferred Assets, other than non-delinquent Taxes incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Intel Financial Information Date in amounts consistent with prior periods (as adjusted for changes in Tax rates and ordinary course fluctuations in operating results). None of the Intel Transferors has an actual or contingent liability for Taxes that will become a liability of Newco or its Subsidiaries by reason of the transactions described herein, other than such non-delinquent Taxes described in the immediately preceding sentence for which Newco or its Subsidiaries may become liable by reason of statutory successor liability (or similar liability) under Applicable Law.

18


 

     (c) No material issues have been raised in writing in any audits, examinations or disputes pertaining to Taxes arising from the Intel Transferred Assets that can reasonably be expected to be raised in similar examinations of Newco or its Subsidiaries following the Closing.
     (d) With respect to each of the Intel Transferred Entities:
     (i) Each Intel Transferred Entity has properly prepared and timely filed all Tax Returns required by law and has timely paid all Taxes due and payable (whether or not shown on any Tax Return). All such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects. Each Intel Transferred Entity has complied in all material respects with all Applicable Laws relating to Taxes. None of the Intel Transferred Entities (A) is a party to or bound by any closing agreement, offer in compromise, gain recognition agreement or any other agreement with any Governmental Authority, except for those agreements identified on Schedule 3.10(e) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, or any Tax indemnity or Tax sharing agreement with any Person, and (B) has actual or contingent liabilities for Taxes, other than (x) Taxes accrued as a liability in the Intel Financial Information, or (y) non-delinquent Taxes incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Intel Financial Information Date in amounts consistent with prior periods (if applicable), as adjusted for changes in Tax rates and ordinary course fluctuations in operating results.
     (ii) There are and have been no (A) proposed, threatened or actual assessments, audits, examinations or disputes as to Taxes relating to the Intel Transferred Entities, (B) accounting method adjustments with respect to the Intel Transferred Entities, or (C) waivers or extensions of the statute of limitations with respect to Taxes for which the Intel Transferred Entities would reasonably be expected to be held liable following the date hereof. No issues have been raised in any audits, examinations or disputes pertaining to the Intel Transferred Entities that can reasonably be expected to be raised in similar examinations following the Closing. To the Knowledge of Intel, there is no basis for the assertion by a taxing authority of a material Tax deficiency against the Intel Transferred Entities. None of the Intel Transferred Entities is liable for Taxes of any other Person.
     (iii) Schedule 3.10(d)(iii) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter sets forth, on an entity-by-entity basis, all jurisdictions in which each of the Intel Transferred Entities is subject to Tax and the type(s) of Tax.

     (vi) There is no taxable income or other measure of Tax of any of the Intel Transferred Entities that will be reportable in the Post-Closing Tax Period that is attributable to a transaction or event that occurred in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.
     (vii) No position has been taken on any Tax Return with respect to the Intel Business or the Intel Transferred Assets that is contrary to any publicly announced position of a Governmental Authority, or that is substantially similar to any position that a Governmental Authority has successfully challenged in the course of an examination of a Tax Return of the Intel Transferred Entities.
     (e) Schedule 3.10(e) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter sets forth in reasonable detail, as to each Intel Transferred Entity, the Intel Business and the Intel Transferred Assets, each applicable agreement, ruling or other arrangement with respect to Taxes entered into with or received from any Governmental Authority, including the terms of any agreement governing the pricing of products sold to Affiliates of Intel (each, an “Intel Tax Agreement”). Each of Intel, its Affiliates and the Intel Transferred Entities is in compliance with each Intel Tax Agreement in all material respects, and no Governmental Authority has claimed or is expected to claim that any material breach of a Intel Tax Agreement has occurred. None of Intel, its Affiliates or the Intel Transferred Entities currently has outstanding any requests for Tax rulings pertaining to the Intel Transferred Entities, the Intel Business or the Intel Transferred Assets that would reasonably be expected to affect the liability for Taxes of Newco or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date.
     (f) The representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.10 are the only representations and warranties being made with respect to compliance with or liability under Applicable Laws relating to the Tax matters contemplated by this Section 3.10.
     3.11 Intellectual Property.
     (a) All material Intel Transferred Intellectual Property is free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens. One of the Intel Transferors owns or, to Intel’s Knowledge, is licensed to use, all works of authorship and all associated Copyrights that are embodied in the Intel Products. One of the Intel Transferors has good and marketable sole title to the Intel Transferred Intellectual Property (other than with respect to any moral rights therein or relating thereto). With respect to the Intel Transferred Intellectual Property, Schedule 3.11(a) identifies all material exclusive licenses granted by Intel or its Subsidiaries.

To the Knowledge of Intel, Intel has not received any written claims currently pending from any Person claiming that the Intel Products infringe or misappropriate the Copyrights, Trade Secrets or Patents of such Person.
     (c) Intel has taken commercially reasonable steps to protect its rights in Trade Secrets of Intel embodied in the Intel Products including taking commercially reasonable steps to have all of its current and former employees, consultants and contractors employed in the Intel Business execute and deliver to Intel a proprietary information and invention assignment agreement. To the Knowledge of Intel, it has not received written notice of any violation of or non-compliance with such agreements.
     (d) To Intel’s Knowledge, neither Intel nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any outstanding decree, order, or judgment that (i) restricts in any material manner the use, transfer or licensing of the Intel Transferred Copyrights, the Intel Transferred Patents, the Intel Transferred Trade Secrets or the Intel Products, or (ii) adjudges any of the Intel Transferred Intellectual Property to be unenforceable or invalid.
     (e) All Intel Transferred Patents are currently in material compliance with formal legal requirements involving the payment of fees to Governmental Authorities (including the payment of filing, examination and maintenance fees).

None of the Intel Transferred Copyrights are registered Copyrights.
     (f) To Intel’s Knowledge, no software source code of material proprietary value to the Intel Business is subject to obligations of public disclosure or distribution, under any “open source license” or otherwise.

All Tax Returns with respect to the Intel Transferred Entities, Intel Transferred Assets or Intel Business prepared by Newco for taxable periods that include but do not end on the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior Tax Returns filed by the Intel Transferred Entities, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law. To the extent Intel would be liable for all or any portion of the Taxes shown on any Straddle Period Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be provided to Intel no later than 30 days prior to the filing thereof, and any disputes concerning the manner in which such Tax Returns are prepared shall be resolved as provided in Section 5.8(h). Newco shall not amend or permit to be amended any Tax Returns with respect to a Intel Transferred Entity to the extent such amendment could increase the liability of Intel hereunder.
     (b) Responsibility for Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.8:
     (i) Intel shall be liable for and shall indemnify, defend and hold Newco harmless from and against (A) all Taxes arising from the Intel Transferred Assets or the Intel Business with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, including all Taxes of the Intel Transferred Entities attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent not paid prior to the Closing, (B) all Taxes imposed on any Intel Transferred Entity as a result of being or having been a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary, fiscal unity or similar group of which Intel or any of its Affiliates is or was a member, other than Taxes arising from the income, assets or operations of Newco and its Subsidiaries during the Post-Closing Tax Period, and (C) all Taxes imposed on any Intel Transferred Entity as a result of being or having been party to any tax sharing, tax indemnity or tax allocation agreement or any other express or implied agreement to indemnify any other Person for Taxes that was entered into prior to the Closing, other than Taxes arising from the income, assets or operations of Newco and its Subsidiaries during the Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that Taxes arising on the Closing Date by reason of actions taken by or at the request of Newco out of the ordinary course of business following the Closing and without the consent of Intel shall be the responsibility of Newco.

33


 

     (ii) Newco shall be liable for and shall indemnify, defend and hold Intel harmless from and against all Taxes arising from the Intel Transferred Assets or the Intel Business with respect to the Post-Closing Tax Period, including all Taxes of the Intel Transferred Entities attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period, except to the extent that such Taxes are Intel’s obligation under Section 5.8(b)(i) or are subject to indemnification from Intel pursuant to Section 6.2(a) (but subject to Section 6.2(g)) and except for any Taxes imposed on Intel or its Affiliates by virtue of their ownership of equity in Newco.
     (iii) Taxes with respect to any of the Intel Transferred Entities for a Straddle Period shall be calculated by means of a closing of the books and records of such Intel Transferred Entity as of the close of the Closing Date, as if such Straddle Period ended as of the close of the Closing Date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions computed as if the Closing Date was the last day of the taxable period) shall be allocated between the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the period after such day in proportion to the number of days in each such period; and, provided, further, that personal property, ad valorem and other similar Taxes that are not based on income, revenue, expenses or any combination thereof (“Property Taxes”) for a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence). Property Taxes with respect to the Intel Transferred Assets other than those owned by the Intel Transferred Entities shall be allocated similarly. Intel shall be liable for the amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than to the extent of any increase in Property Taxes attributable to the transactions described herein), and Newco shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period (including any increase in Property Taxes attributable to the transactions described herein).
     (iv) Within a reasonable period after the Closing, and from time to time thereafter upon the receipt by a Party of a bill, assessment or other notice of Tax due, Intel and Newco shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 5.8(b), together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount owed. The amount owed shall be paid by the Party owing it to the other within 10 days after delivery of such statement or, if later, 3 days prior to the time such Taxes are required to be paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority. In the event that either Intel or Newco makes a payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 5.8(b), the other Party shall pay such reimbursement promptly, but in no event later than 30 days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting Party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement. Any payment required under this Section 5.8(b) and not made when due shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

34


 

     (c) Sales and Use Taxes. All Sales Taxes incurred by Intel or its Affiliates in connection with the transfer of Intel Transferred Assets to a Intel Transferred Entity (whether such Sales Taxes arise upon such transfer or upon the transfer of the underlying Intel Transferred Interests to Newco or its Subsidiaries) shall be borne by Intel or its Affiliates (but not the Intel Transferred Entities) to the extent such Sales Taxes exceed the Sales Taxes that would have been incurred if the underlying Intel Transferred Assets were transferred directly by the historical owner thereof to Newco or a Subsidiary of Newco (located in the same jurisdiction as such Intel Transferred Entity) without the intervening transfer to such Intel Transferred Entity. All other Sales Taxes incurred by the Parties or their Affiliates as a consequence of the transfer of the Intel Transferred Assets (including the Intel Transferred Interests) to Newco shall be determined as soon as practicable after the Closing based on the allocation described in Section 5.9 and shall be borne 50% by Newco and 50% by Intel; provided, however, that in no event shall Newco’s share of such Sales Taxes exceed $5,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newco or its Subsidiaries shall pay 100% of all Sales Taxes to the extent the payment thereof by Newco or such Subsidiaries gives rise to a right to claim a refund of or credit against Taxes otherwise payable by Newco or its Subsidiaries under Applicable Law (and such amount shall not count toward the $5,000,000 cap in the preceding sentence). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Newco and Intel shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such Sales Taxes. To the extent a taxing authority provides notice to Intel or Newco of an audit of Sales Taxes for which the other Party has any responsibility hereunder, the Party receiving the notice shall promptly notify the other Party. The Parties shall cooperate as reasonably requested to defend any audit with respect to Sales Taxes described herein, and the Party responsible therefor shall pay when due any additional Sales Taxes ultimately assessed (together with any interest, penalties or additions to tax with respect thereto) in the ratios described above. Intel shall control all Sales Tax audits where Intel or its Affiliates bear 100% of the underlying Sales Tax, and Intel and Newco shall jointly control all other Sales Tax audits (and share equally all related professional fees, interest, penalties and additions to tax) pertaining to the transfer of the Intel Transferred Assets to Newco. With respect to Sales Taxes for which the Parties bear joint responsibility hereunder, neither Party shall settle any proposed adjustment to such Sales Taxes without the other Party’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
     (d) Cooperation. As to the Taxes for which Intel is liable hereunder or that arise in a Straddle Period, the Parties hereto agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to one another, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Intel Transferred Assets, the Intel Business and the Intel Transferred Entities as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim or Proceeding relating to any Tax Return. The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other Proceeding related to Taxes involving the Intel Business.
     (e) Allocation of Intel Consideration among the Intel Transferred Assets. The Intel Consideration (including the Intel Transferred Liabilities to the extent treated as “amount realized” for United States federal income tax purposes) shall be allocated

35


 

among the Intel Transferred Assets and the Intel Transferred Interests in accordance with Schedule 5.8(e) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter (as such allocation shall be determined prior to Closing and attached hereto immediately prior to the Closing). Such schedule shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Third Party Appraisal. Each of the Parties hereto agrees to report the transactions contemplated hereby for state, federal and foreign Tax purposes in accordance with such allocation of the Intel Consideration. Intel shall prepare Schedule 5.8(e) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter subject to Newco’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such schedule shall be adjusted for any changes to the Intel Cash Consideration, in a manner consistent with the Third Party Appraisal and otherwise as Intel determines in its reasonable discretion.
     (f) Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties shall treat all indemnification payments made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Intel Cash Consideration for applicable Tax purposes.
     (g) Tax Dispute Resolution. If the Parties are unable to resolve any disputes regarding the content of Tax Returns for which Intel has a right of review pursuant to Section 5.8(a), the issue or issues shall be referred for resolution to a partner at a “Big 4” accounting firm (or other nationally recognized accounting firm) reasonably acceptable to the Parties, who shall be requested to resolve open issues, on the basis of the position most likely to be sustained if challenged in a court having initial jurisdiction over the matter (which for federal income tax issues shall be deemed to be the United States Tax Court). The decision of such accounting firm shall be final and binding on the Parties, and the costs of such accounting firm shall be Newco costs. If such Tax Returns become due (taking into account extensions of time to file, which Newco shall seek as necessary to avoid the delinquent filing of its Tax Returns) they shall be filed as determined by Newco and shall be amended and re-filed as required by the outcome of the referral to the accounting firm as provided herein.
     5.9 Accounts Receivable. Following the Closing, (a) if Intel or any of its Subsidiaries receives any payment, refund or other amount that is a Intel Transferred Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Newco in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Intel promptly shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to Newco and (b) if Newco or any of its Subsidiaries receives any payment, refund or other amount that is a Intel Excluded Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Intel or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Newco promptly shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to Intel. Without limiting the foregoing, Newco shall forward to Intel, immediately upon receipt thereof, any payments of Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable of Intel or any of its Subsidiaries, and Intel shall forward to Newco, immediately upon receipt thereof, any payments of Post-Closing Accounts Receivable of Newco or any of its Subsidiaries unless otherwise set forth in the Intel Transition Services Agreement. Following the Closing, the Parties shall cooperate in promptly advising customers to direct to the appropriate Party any future payments by such customers. In determining whether a payment received by either Party is a payment of an Account Receivable of Intel or Newco, the receiving Party may rely on any invoice or contract number referred to on the payment or in correspondence accompanying such payment. To the extent any payment, refund or other amount received by Intel or Newco from a customer

36


 

or other account debtor does not specify which outstanding invoice or receivable it is in payment of, such payment shall be applied to the earliest invoice outstanding with respect to indebtedness of such customer or other account debtor, except for those invoices which are subject to a dispute to the extent of such dispute. Following the Closing, Newco will provide such cooperation as Intel shall reasonably request in connection with Intel’s collection of outstanding Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable of Intel and its Subsidiaries.
     5.10 Accounts Payable. To the extent that Newco receives any invoices for Pre-Closing Accounts Payable of Intel or any of its Subsidiaries or statements evidencing amounts owed by Intel or any of its Subsidiaries to another Person, Newco will promptly deliver such documents to Intel. To the extent that Intel receives any invoices for Accounts Payable of Newco or any of its Subsidiaries or statements evidencing amounts owed by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries to another Person, Intel will promptly deliver such documents to Newco unless otherwise set forth in the Intel Transition Services Agreement.
     5.11 Employees.
     (a) To the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Newco shall provide service credit for all periods of service by the Intel Transferred Employees under Newco’s employee policies and plans except to the extent such service credit would result in the duplication of benefit accrual for the same period of service. Newco shall be responsible for all Liabilities, salaries, benefits and similar employer obligations that arise after Closing under Newco’s compensation and benefit plans and policies for all Intel Transferred Employees or pursuant to Section 2.3(d). In particular, Newco shall be responsible for liabilities with respect to the termination of any Intel Transferred Employees by Newco after the Closing, including health care continuation coverage with respect to plans established or maintained by Newco after the Closing to the extent that the Intel Transferred Employees participate therein, and damages or settlements arising out of any claims of wrongful, constructive or illegal termination or dismissal by Newco following the Closing, and for complying with the requirements of all Applicable Laws with respect to any such termination by Newco after the Closing. Subject to Section 2.3(d), Intel shall be solely responsible for any liabilities or obligations with respect to Intel Transferred Employees under the Intel Employee Plans or the Intel Employee Agreements that arise following the Closing.
     (b) Non- U.S. Intel Business Employees. With respect to Intel Business Employees located outside the United States, each of Newco and Intel agrees to comply with all covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in Schedule 5.11(b) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter.
     (c) Funded Employee Plans. To the extent that Newco is required under Applicable Law to assume Liabilities with respect to a Intel Funded Employee Plan relating to service of Intel Transferred Employees prior to the Closing Date, and unless such obligations are not otherwise satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date among Intel, Newco and the relevant Intel Transferred Employees, Intel shall, or shall cause the applicable Intel Subsidiary to, pay to Newco an amount in cash or cash equivalents equal to such Liabilities as of the Closing Date as determined in accordance with this Section

37


 

5.11(c) (the “Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount”). Intel shall, or shall cause the applicable Intel Subsidiary to, cause the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount to be transferred to Newco as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event more than 15 days following the determination of the amount due hereunder. The Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount shall be determined in accordance with Applicable Law and the relevant provisions of the Intel Funded Employee Plan. To the extent required by Applicable Law or by the Intel Funded Employee Plan, Intel shall, or shall cause the applicable Intel Subsidiary to, require the actuary of each Intel Funded Employee Plan (each, an “Intel Actuary”) to determine, prior to the Closing Date, the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount for the relevant Intel Funded Employee Plan in accordance with FAS 158 on a projected benefit obligation basis based on actuarial assumptions no less favorable than those used in the most recent actuarial report prepared for the relevant Intel Funded Employee Plan. The actuarial calculations and assumptions of the Intel Actuary may be reviewed for accuracy by an actuary designated by Newco (the “Newco Actuary”). If the Intel Actuary and the Newco Actuary cannot reach an agreement as to the proper determination for the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount with respect to a Intel Funded Employee Plan, Intel and Newco shall refer such matter to an independent third-party actuary (which actuary shall be mutually agreeable to Intel and Newco) (the “Third Actuary”) for resolution. Promptly, but in no event later than 45 days after such referral, the Third Actuary shall review the Intel Actuary’s calculation of the relevant Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount and the Newco Actuary’s objection and calculations with respect thereto, and shall provide each of Intel and Newco a written statement of its decision as to the issues in dispute and the determination of the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount. Such determination shall be final and binding for all purposes. The fees and expenses of the Intel Actuary and the Newco Actuary shall be borne by Intel. The fees and expenses of the Third Actuary shall be borne equally by Intel and Newco.
     (d) Consultation Obligations. Intel and Newco shall where and to the extent required by Applicable Law or by an applicable collective bargaining, collective agreement, recognition arrangement or other similar agreement or arrangement inform and consult with employees, trade unions, works councils or other employee representative bodies regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the offers of employment made pursuant to the Master Agreement.
     (e) Non-Solicitation of Employees.
     (i) Subject to Applicable Law, for two years following the Closing, without the prior written consent of Newco, Intel shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, recruit or solicit any employee of Newco or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, for purposes of this Agreement, the “Newco Restricted Employees”) to leave his or her employment with Newco or such Subsidiary.
     (ii) Except as (A) may be otherwise provided herein, (B) otherwise agreed by Intel and Newco, or (C) prohibited by Applicable Law, for two years following the Closing Date, Newco shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, recruit or solicit (x) any employee of Intel

38


 

or any of its Subsidiaries other than those Intel Business Employees who become employed by Newco in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement, (y) any Intel Business Employee who declines an offer of employment from or objects to his or her transfer to Newco, or (z) any employee of IM Flash Technologies, LLC, IM Flash Singapore, LLP, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, to leave his or her employment with Intel, IM Flash Technologies, LLC, IM Flash Singapore, LLP, or any such Subsidiary (collectively, for purposes of this Agreement, the “Intel ATA Restricted Employees”).
     (iii) Neither the placement of employment advertisements or other general solicitation for employees not specifically targeted to any Newco Restricted Employee or Intel ATA Restricted Employee, as the case may be, by any means, including through the use of hiring agencies or through employees of each Party who are unaware of the prohibitions against the solicitation of the Newco Restricted Employees or Intel ATA Restricted Employees, as the case may be, shall be a recruitment or solicitation prohibited by this Section 5.11(e) provided that any such hiring agencies and employees are not instructed by persons who knew about the prohibition on the solicitation of such Restricted Employees to solicit for hire such Restricted Employees. If a Party (or any Subsidiary thereof) inadvertently violates the prohibition against the solicitation of Restricted Employees, such Party shall (or it shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to), as soon as it is aware it has committed a violation of this section, notify the other Party who formerly employed such Restricted Employee and either withdraw any offer to the solicited individual or ensure that such person, if hired, is restricted from working on, consulting on, or having any knowledge with respect to matters which are designated by written notice by the Party that formerly employed such employee in its reasonable discretion as competitively sensitive matters, in which event such inadvertent action shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.11(e) so long as there is no repetitive pattern of such actions.
     (f) Newco Employee Recruitment. For a period of six months following the Closing Date, Newco agrees to notify Intel of any employment opportunities at Newco within a reasonable period of time before the placement of employment advertisements or other general solicitation, including the use of hiring agencies, with respect to such employment opportunities.
     5.12 Protection of Privacy. The Customer Data of Intel has been collected by Intel over the Internet under the conditions set forth in the Intel Privacy Policy attached to Schedule 5.12 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter (the “Intel Privacy Policy”) and is transferred to Newco subject to the obligations set forth in the Intel Privacy Policy. Newco covenants and agrees that it will not use such Customer Data in any manner that conflicts with the terms of the Intel Privacy Policy.
     5.13 Export Compliance. From and after the Closing Date, Newco shall comply at its own expense with all conditions and requirements imposed on Newco required to comply with all applicable U.S. Export Administration Regulations and such other similar regulations,

39


 

including any applicable export regulations of foreign jurisdictions, that are imposed on the Intel Transferred Assets. Newco agrees that it will not export, either directly or indirectly, any Intel Product or associated technology or systems incorporating such Intel Product without first obtaining any required license or other approval from the appropriate host Governmental Authority with appropriate authority.
     5.14 Satisfaction of Intel Pre-Closing Product Obligations. After the Closing, Newco agrees to satisfy any and all Intel Pre-Closing Product Obligations. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in the Transaction Documents, Newco shall, on a monthly basis, following the month in which the transactions occur, or any other periodic basis as agreed by the Parties, deliver to Intel a written statement of costs reasonably incurred by Newco in satisfying any such Intel Pre-Closing Product Obligations, which statement shall set forth all such Intel Pre-Closing Product Obligations satisfied by Newco during such period. Promptly following receipt of such statement, Intel shall reimburse Newco for all such costs.
     5.15 Additional Intel Financial Statements. For 12 months following the Closing Date (or if later, the date of completion of the audit of the Intel annual financial statements for the year in which the Closing Date occurs), Intel shall, in good faith, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Newco with Newco’s preparation of such financial statements, for such periods prior to the Closing Date as may be required for Newco to undertake a registered public offering of debt securities or Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, it being understood that in connection with any such registered offering Newco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers from certain financial statement requirements, provided that any failure by Newco to obtain any such waiver shall not relieve Intel from its obligations under this Section 5.15. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate Intel to provide any audited financial statement or information to Newco or to submit to an audit by Newco’s auditors of any financial statement or information or books and records of Intel.
     5.16 Settlement of Claims. Intel shall not settle, or make any binding offer to settle, any material Claim or Proceeding relating to the Intel Business unless such settlement would not encumber any assets of Newco, impose any obligation or other Liability on Newco, impose any restriction that would apply to Newco or the conduct of Newco’s business, or include any acknowledgment of validity, enforceability, infringement, or Claim interpretation with regard to any of the Intellectual Property relating to such Claim or Proceeding.
     5.17 Back-end Equipment.
     (a) From and after the Closing Date, Intel shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, retain physical possession of the D2 Equipment until the earlier of (i) the date upon which such D2 Equipment is removed therefrom pursuant to a Newco Removal Notice (as defined below) and (ii) 60 days after completion of sorted wafer manufacturing for Newco using the D2 Equipment and the receipt by Newco from Intel of written notice of such completion; provided, however, that in the event that any Governmental Approval is required for the removal of any of such D2 Equipment, Newco and Intel shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such Governmental Approval as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and in the event that such Governmental Approvals are not obtained within 45 days prior to the Removal

40


 

Date set forth above, the Removal Date shall be extended to that date which is 45 days after all such Governmental Approvals have been obtained.
     (b) Newco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make all arrangements necessary to ensure that the D2 Equipment is removed from the premises of Intel and its Subsidiaries as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the applicable sorted wafer manufacturing set forth in Section 5.17(a) and the receipt of notice thereof from Intel and in any event prior to the Removal Date applicable thereto.
     (c) From and after the Closing Date until 15 days prior to each applicable Removal Date, Newco may notify Intel in writing of Newco’s intention to remove the D2 Equipment from the premises of Intel or its Subsidiaries. Each such notice (a “Newco Removal Notice”) shall describe in reasonable detail the arrangements for the removal and transportation of the D2 Equipment, including (i) the dates on which Newco proposes to begin and complete the removal of the D2 Equipment, (ii) the identity of any third party contractors that Newco proposes to engage in connection therewith and (iii) a reasonable estimate of the third party costs expected to be incurred by Newco in connection therewith.
     (d) All reasonable and documented third party costs of removing D2 Equipment from the premises of Intel or its Subsidiaries and transporting D2 Equipment to the premises of Newco or its Subsidiaries shall be borne by Intel. Newco shall remove the D2 Equipment in its entirety from the premises of Intel and its Subsidiaries prior to the Removal Date applicable thereto. The removal of the D2 Equipment shall be effected during regular business hours in a manner reasonably intended to minimize disruption and without causing damage to the affected Intel facility. Intel shall have the right to approve in advance (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any third party contractors that Newco proposes to engage to complete such removal or transportation. In the event that any D2 Equipment is not removed from the premises of Intel or its Subsidiaries prior to the Removal Date applicable thereto, Intel may treat such D2 Equipment as abandoned property and may have such D2 Equipment removed from the applicable Intel facility or may sell such D2 Equipment and remit the proceeds of such sale (net of all direct and indirect costs of sale and expenses incurred by Intel and its Subsidiaries) to Newco.
     5.18 Master Agreement Covenants. Newco agrees to be bound by and shall be a third party beneficiary of the following Sections of the Master Agreement: Section 4.5 (Press Releases), Section 4.8 (Tax Matters), Section 4.9 (Operations of the Intel Business Prior to the Closing), Section 4.10 (Operations of the ST Business Prior to the Closing), Section 4.12 (Additions to and Modifications of the Schedules), Section 4.14 (Notices of Certain Intel Events), Section 4.15 (Notices of Certain ST Events), Section 4.17 (Newco Tax Election), Section 4.19 (Cooperation with Financing), Section 4.21 (Hynix JV Matters), Section 4.22 (Facility Transfer Term Sheets), Section 4.25 (ST Litigation), Section 4.26 (Intel Litigation) and Section 4.28 (Further Assurances) of the Master Agreement as though it were a party thereto.
     5.19 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to

41


 

take, or cause to be taken, such other commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
     5.20 Outstanding Checks; Bank Accounts.
     (a) Intel shall cause all checks written but not cashed before the Closing in respect of obligations of any Intel Transferred Entity to be paid.
     (b) Intel shall cause all bank accounts of the Intel Transferred Entities to have zero balances on the Closing Date.
     5.21 Release of Liens. On the Closing Date, the Intel Transferors shall deliver the Intel Transferred Assets to Newco and its Subsidiaries free and clear of Liens, other than Permitted Liens, except as otherwise provided herein.
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION
     6.1 General Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement and the covenants set forth in Section 4.9 of the Master Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of 12 months after the Closing Date; provided, however that (a) representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.10 (Tax Matters) shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations for the collection of the Tax that is the subject of such representation or warranty, (b) representations and warranties set forth in each of Section 3.2 (Authorization and Enforceability), Section 3.12(a) (Pension Plans), and Section 3.22(a) and (b) (Organization and Capitalization of the Intel Transferred Entities) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (c) representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15 (Environmental Matters) shall survive until the date that is 10 years following the Closing Date, and (d) any claim arising out of the fraudulent misrepresentation of Intel contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. In addition, any indemnity with respect to any Intel Pre-Closing Environmental Liability described in Section 2.4(k) hereof shall survive until the date that is 10 years following the Closing Date and shall thereupon expire. Upon such expiration, unless written notice of a claim for indemnification based on such representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity specifying in reasonable detail the facts on which the claim is based shall have been delivered to the Indemnitor prior to the expiration of such representation, warranty, covenant, or indemnity, such representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity shall be deemed to be of no further force or effect, as if never made, and no action may be brought based on the same, whether for indemnification, breach of contract, tort or under any other legal theory. All covenants and agreements of the Parties otherwise set forth in this Agreement with respect to Excluded Liabilities or actions of the Parties following the Closing shall survive indefinitely to the extent necessary to give effect to their terms.
     6.2 Indemnification.
     (a) Indemnification Provisions for Newco. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, from and after the Closing Date, the Newco Indemnitees shall be

     (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any of Intel’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in the certificates furnished to Newco pursuant to Sections 5.2(a) and 5.3(a) of the Master Agreement (disregarding the qualifications as to Intel Material Adverse Effect expressly set forth in such certificates in accordance with Sections 5.2(a) and 5.3(a));
     (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Intel pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Sections of the Master Agreement set forth in Section 5.18 of this Agreement;

     (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any of Newco’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement other than any such inaccuracy or breach that results from any action that (A) Newco is required to take hereunder or (B) Intel has approved under the Master Agreement;
     (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Newco pursuant to this Agreement;
     (iii) any failure of Newco to satisfy any Intel Transferred Liabilities, other than the Intel Excluded Liabilities; and
     (iv) any Taxes or expenses required to be paid by Newco under this Agreement.
     (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Indemnitee” shall mean either a Newco Indemnitee or a Intel Indemnitee, as the case may be, and the term “Indemnitor” shall mean either Newco or Intel, as the case may be.
     (d) Notwithstanding the above, Losses shall not include expenses incurred in connection with investigations unless a claim is made by a third party against the Indemnitee.
     (e) No Newco Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses covered by Section 6.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses of the Newco Indemnitees shall exceed $15,000,000 (the “Intel ATA Basket”), at which time all such

43


 

Losses incurred in excess of the Intel ATA Basket shall be subject to indemnification by the relevant Indemnitor hereunder. The Intel ATA Basket shall not apply to Losses covered by Section 3.2 (Authorization and Enforceability), Section 3.10 (Tax Matters), Section 3.12(a) (Pension Plans), Section 3.15 (Environmental Matters), Section 3.22(a) and (b) (Organization and Capitalization of the Transferred Entities) or Sections 6.2(a)(ii)-(iv). No Intel Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses covered by Section 6.2(b)(i) until the aggregate amount of all such losses of the Intel Indemnitees shall exceed $15,000,000 (“Newco ATA Basket”), at which time all such losses incurred in excess of the Newco ATA Basket shall be subject to indemnification by the relevant Indemnitor hereunder. The Newco ATA Basket shall not apply to Losses covered by Sections 6.2(b)(ii)-(iv).
     (f) The amount of any Losses otherwise recoverable under this Section 6.2 shall be reduced by (i) any amounts which the Indemnitees actually receive under insurance policies, net of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of recovery, the Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing that as soon as practicable after becoming aware of such Losses and in any event prior to payment of any amount of Losses otherwise recoverable under this Section 6.2, the Indemnitee must first seek reimbursement for any and all Losses from any applicable insurance coverage (and that any compensation provided under this Agreement is not to be deemed insurance for any purpose), and (ii) any reduction in Tax otherwise actually payable by the Indemnitees (or their Subsidiaries) (net of related Tax and out of pocket costs incurred in connection with such reduction) with respect to the taxable year of such Persons in which the payment of such indemnity is due or a prior taxable year, including refunds of Taxes (net of such Tax and other out-of-pocket costs) previously paid by such Persons with respect to such taxable years to the extent the claim for refund may be filed in such years.
     (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2(a), Losses for which Newco may claim indemnification under this Agreement shall not include Taxes arising in Post-Closing Tax Periods, determined in the manner provided in Section 5.8(b), except for (i) interest, penalties and additions to Tax accrued with respect to Taxes arising in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) Losses arising from a breach of the representation set forth in Section 3.10(d)(vi), and (iii) Losses for Taxes that are allocated to Intel pursuant to Section 5.8.
     (h) For any additions or modifications to the schedules to the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter made by Intel under Section 4.12(d) of the Master Agreement (i) to correct inaccuracies of the Specified Intel Representations (including those representations and warranties which are expressed with respect to a date prior to the date of the Master Agreement) for facts, events or circumstances occurring prior to or existing on and as of the date of the Master Agreement, and, in the case of a representation or warranty made to the Knowledge of Intel, of which Intel had Knowledge on such date), (ii) to reflect any facts, events or circumstances which resulted from a breach of Section 4.9 of the Master Agreement, or (iii) to update, correct or otherwise modify any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 (Authorization and Enforceability), Section 3.4 (Non-contravention), Section 3.7 (Litigation), Section 3.9 (Compliance with Applicable Laws), Section 3.10 (Tax Matters), Section 3.11 (Intellectual Property),

44


 

Section 3.13 (Financial Information), Section 3.14 (Absence of Certain Changes), Section 3.17 (Intel Transferred Assets), Section 3.20 (Inventories), Section 3.21 (Advisory Fees), Section 3.22 (Transferred Entities and Transferred Interests), and Section 3.23 (Investment Representations), for any reason, then, in each case, Newco shall be entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to, and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, to the same extent as if such additions and modifications had not been made.
     6.3 Manner of Indemnification.
     (a) Each indemnification claim shall be made only in accordance with this Article VI.
     (b) If an Indemnitee wishes to make a claim for Losses under Article VI of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall deliver a Notice of Claim to the applicable Indemnitor promptly after becoming aware of the facts giving rise to such claim. The Notice of Claim shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of the claim being made, and (ii) state the aggregate dollar amount of such claim.
     (c) Following receipt by an Indemnitor of a Notice of Claim, the Parties shall promptly meet to agree on the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Parties and amounts agreed upon shall be promptly paid. Any unresolved dispute between the Parties shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.10 and Section 7.11 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement.
     6.4 Third-Party Claims. If Newco becomes aware of a claim of a third party (including for all purposes of this Section 6.4, any Governmental Authority) that Newco believes, in good faith, may result in a claim by it or any other Newco Indemnitee against Intel, Newco shall notify Intel of such claim as promptly as practicable; provided, that any failure to so notify Intel shall not relieve Intel of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially adversely prejudiced Intel. Intel shall have the right, but not the duty, to assume and conduct the defense of such claim at its expense; provided, however, that Intel may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding involving criminal liability. Intel shall conduct such defense in a commercially reasonable manner, and shall be authorized to settle any such claim without the consent of Newco, provided, however, that: (a) Intel shall not be authorized to encumber any assets of Newco or agree to any restriction that would apply to Newco or the conduct of Newco’s business; (b) Intel shall have paid or caused to be paid any amounts arising out of such settlement; (c) a condition to any such settlement shall be a complete release of Newco and any other Newco Indemnitee against whom such claim has been made with respect to such third party claim; and (d) Intel shall not be authorized to settle any claim that would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on a Tax liability of Newco that is not subject to indemnification by Intel hereunder without Newco’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. With respect to any claim for which Intel assumes the defense of Newco, Newco shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such third party claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense, and Newco shall take such action as Intel shall reasonably request to assist Intel in the defense of any such third party claim, provided that Intel shall reimburse Newco for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in

45


 

taking any such requested action. If Intel does not assume the defense of any third party claim in accordance with the provisions hereof, Newco may defend such third party claim in a commercially reasonable manner and may settle such third party claim after giving written notice of the terms thereof to Intel, and such legal expenses shall be indemnifiable Losses hereunder to the extent that Newco is determined to be entitled to indemnification hereunder for such third party claim.
     6.5 Exclusive Remedy and Waiver and Release of Certain Claims.
     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages of the Indemnitees from and after the Closing Date for any Losses arising under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including claims of breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any covenant set forth in Section 4.9 of the Master Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any Party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief but shall be deemed a waiver of any rights of rescission. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) the maximum aggregate liability of Intel to Newco Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VI or otherwise under this Agreement, Applicable law or otherwise (other than Uncapped Intel Losses) shall be limited to $86,400,000 (the “Intel ATA Cap”); and (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of Newco to the Intel Indemnitees for Losses pursuant to this Article VI or otherwise under this Agreement (other than with respect to Losses pursuant to a breach of Section 4.2 (Authorization and Enforceability) and Section 4.6 (Capitalization) and Losses pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(iii)), Applicable Law or otherwise shall be limited to the Intel ATA Cap. Nothing in this Agreement limits or otherwise affects in any way the rights and remedies of either Party with respect to causes of action arising under the Intel Intellectual Property Agreement, the Intel Facility Transfer Agreements and the Intel Transition Services Agreement, or any rights and remedies of Intel or Newco vis-à-vis any Person other than Intel or Newco or their respective Affiliates with respect to any infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property of Intel or Newco, as the case may be (including any right of Intel or Newco to seek equitable or injunctive relief in connection therewith), all of which rights and remedies are expressly reserved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the existence of this Section 6.5 and the rights and restrictions set forth in this Article VI do not limit any other potential remedies of the Indemnitees with respect to fraud by any Party.
     (b) Except with respect to the specific remedies identified in Section 6.5(a) above, the Parties hereby waive and release any and all claims, causes of action, and rights as against one another for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the assets and liabilities that are allocated herein, based upon statute or common law. This waiver and release specifically includes, without in any way limiting the scope of the foregoing waiver and release, any claims the Parties may have against one another based upon the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq. or any other Applicable Law under which the Parties or their Affiliates would otherwise have any cause of action against one another.

46


 

     6.6 Subrogation. If the Indemnitor makes any payment under this Article VI in respect of any Losses, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to the rights of the Indemnitee against any insurer or third party with respect to such Losses; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not have any rights of subrogation with respect to the other Party hereto or any of its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors, agents or employees.
     6.7 Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Party (or its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable to the other Party (or its Affiliates) for any consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of revenue or income, cost of capital, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not seek punitive damages as to any matter under, relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
     6.8 Environmental Indemnification Procedures.
     (a) Intel and Newco agree that the Indemnitor shall have the sole right to disclose, report, further investigate, negotiate, perform and settle any Intel Facility Environmental Liability or conduct any Remedial Action in connection therewith for which such Indemnitor may have liability hereunder, and the Indemnitee will provide the Indemnitor access and any other rights, as necessary, to the Owned Intel Real Property, the Leased Intel Real Property, or any other real property under the Indemnitee’s control for purposes of investigating and performing any such Remedial Action. Such terms of access shall provide for reasonable protections to the Indemnitee’s operations to minimize disruption and protect its employees. Nonetheless, if at any time following the Closing Date, the Indemnitor has not taken action to disclose, report, further investigate, negotiate, perform and settle any Intel Facility Environmental Liability or conduct any Remedial Action in connection therewith for which such Indemnitor may have liability hereunder, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee will have the right, after first providing written notice to the Indemnitor and a reasonable period for the Indemnitor to respond (at a minimum 30 days) and subject to the rights of the Indemnitor set forth in Section 6.8(c) below, to disclose, report, further investigate, negotiate, perform and settle any Intel Facility Environmental Liability or conduct any Remedial Action in connection therewith, provided that the Indemnitor’s duty to indemnify under Section 6.1 of the Agreement for Intel Facility Environmental Liabilities shall not apply to the extent that the Indemnitee’s actions fail to comply with paragraph (b), below. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with any action taken pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 6.8(a) the Indemnitee will, subject to the rights of the Indemnitor pursuant to the terms of Section 6.8(c) below, have the right to: report the results of any testing to the appropriate Governmental Authorities if required by an applicable Environmental Law; enter the property into a voluntary remediation or similar program; take whatever steps are necessary to obtain a NFA Letter from the appropriate Governmental Authorities or, in the event such Governmental Authorities do not provide a NFA Letter in comparable situations or in the event they refuse to do so, comply with any obligations of any Applicable Law, including any Environmental Law, in effect at the time; and respond to any claim by any third party

47


 

with respect to any Intel Facility Environmental Liability, provided that the Indemnitor’s duty to indemnify under Section 6.1 of the Agreement for Intel Facility Environmental Liabilities shall not apply to the extent that the Indemnitee’s actions fail to comply with paragraph (b), below.
     (b) The Parties agree that any Remedial Action undertaken by Intel or Newco to obtain any NFA Letter (to the extent permitted by the Governmental Authority issuing such NFA Letter) or comply with any Applicable Law, including any Environmental Law, in effect at the time: shall employ a reasonably cost-effective method under the circumstances, based on the use of the property for industrial (as opposed to residential or commercial) purposes, shall not exceed the least stringent requirement imposed by any clearly applicable Environmental Laws in effect at the time, including as applicable, within the context of obtaining a NFA Letter or complying with Applicable Law, shall make reasonable use of institutional and engineering controls reasonably acceptable to both Newco and Intel, such as deed restrictions, signs, fencing, buffers, and controls, to the extent permitted by Governmental Authorities, provided that such institutional and engineering controls shall not (i) unreasonably restrict or limit the industrial activities currently being performed and those which Intel or Newco expects to perform on any Owned Intel Real Property or any Leased Intel Real Property or associated services shared in any fashion between Intel and Newco, or (ii) fail to address a material risk of off-site migration of any Hazardous Substances, and shall take advantage of applicable risk assessment principles, where practicable, set forth in applicable Environmental Laws in effect at the time.
     (c) After the Closing, on any Remedial Action that either Party undertakes pursuant to the third sentence of Section 6.8(a), the acting Party shall:
     (i) cooperate with the other Party as much as possible, including, but not limited to, keeping the other Party reasonably informed related to the progress of such matters (including, providing the other Party with copies of material plans, reports and external correspondence), permitting the other Party to be present at the property during, and providing Intel reasonable advance notice prior to, the execution of any significant Remedial Actions (including testing), and ensuring that the other Party is provided reasonable advance notice of any scheduled voice or in-person conferences with regulators or other third parties;
     (ii) ensure that such conferences are held on dates, and at places and times, mutually convenient to the other Party, that the other Party is provided all relevant information relating to such conferences, as and when generated or received by the acting Party (but in all events reasonably far in advance of any conference to permit the other Party’s informed participation therein), and that Intel and its agents are afforded a reasonable opportunity to participate therein. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts, including by making their respective agents available on a mutually convenient basis, to work together on the strategy and conduct of such conferences; and

48


 

     (iii) ensure that the other Party is given the opportunity to obtain duplicate soil, groundwater and other samples if such samples are taken in connection with any Remedial Action (including testing).

     7.2 Amendments; Waivers.
     (a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by all Parties, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.
     (b) No waiver by a Party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of a warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of a warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent occurrence. No failure or delay by a Party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided under Applicable Law.

51


 

     7.3 Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 5.8(c) hereof and Section 7.3 of the Master Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and in closing and carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense.
     7.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and permitted assigns. No Party hereto may transfer or assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder, whether directly or indirectly, by operation of law, merger or otherwise, without the prior written approval of each other Party; provided, however, that Newco may assign, delegate or transfer in whole or in part its rights and interests under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to any of its lenders for collateral assignment purposes. No such transfer or assignment shall relieve the transferring or assigning Party of its obligations hereunder if such transferee or assignee does not perform such obligations.
     7.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and this Agreement and any disputes or controversies related hereto shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.
     7.6 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts and the signatures delivered by telecopy, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures were upon the same instrument and delivered in person. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties.
     7.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits referred to herein, which are hereby incorporated by reference), the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, express or implied, between and among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No representation, warranty, promise, inducement or statement of intention has been made by either Party that is not embodied in this Agreement or such other documents, and neither Party shall be bound by, or be liable for, any alleged representation, warranty, promise, inducement or statement of intention not embodied herein or therein.
     7.8 Captions. The captions herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof.
     7.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person, place or circumstance, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions as applied to other Persons, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect only if, after excluding the portion deemed to be unenforceable, the remaining terms shall provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in substantially the same manner as originally set forth at the later of the date this Agreement was executed or last amended.

52


 

     7.10 Dispute Resolution.
     (a) With the exception of disputes involving intellectual property ownership and infringement issues, and disputes governed by Section 2.7, Section 2.8, Section 2.9 or Section 5.8(g) hereof, any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be finally resolved by arbitration. The Parties waive their right to any form of appeal to a court on any questions of law arising out of the arbitration award. Any dispute or claim between the Parties which is beyond the scope of this Section shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York. The Parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over such Parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 7.1 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
     (b) Mediation. Prior to arbitration, however, the Party making the original claim shall provide the other Party with a written description of the dispute or claim and the senior executives of the Parties shall meet in an attempt to resolve such dispute or claim. If the disagreements cannot be resolved by the senior management after 90 days from the date any Party made a written demand for resolution, a binding arbitration shall be held.
     (c) Arbitration Rules. The rules of the arbitration shall be agreed upon by the Parties prior to the arbitration and shall be based upon the nature of the disagreement. To the extent that the Parties cannot agree on the rules of the arbitration after 30 days from the date any party makes a written demand for resolution, then, subject to Section 7.10(d), the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC in effect as of the Closing Date shall apply.
     (d) Mandatory Rules. As a minimum set of rules in the arbitration the Parties agree as follows:
     (i) The arbitration shall be held by one arbitrator appointed by mutual agreement of the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator within 15 days from the date written demand for arbitration has been received by the other Party, each Party shall identify one independent individual. The individuals appointed by the Parties shall then meet to appoint a single arbitrator. If an arbitrator still cannot be agreed upon within an additional 15 day period, he or she shall be appointed by the ICC.
     (ii) The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. Hearings and meetings shall be held in New York or at such other place as the Parties may agree.
     (iii) The English language shall be used in the proceedings. Documents and written testimonies may be submitted in any language provided that the Party submitting such documents and testimonies shall provide, at its own expense, a translation of the same in the English language.

53


 

     (iv) The arbitrator shall specify the basis for the award, the basis for the damages award and a breakdown of the damages awarded, and the basis of any other remedy authorized under this section. The award shall be considered as a final and binding resolution of the dispute or claim.
     (v) The Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the arbitral proceedings, the existence of the same and the status of the hearings. In addition, the Parties undertake to maintain the confidentiality of any document exchanged in, produced in, or created by the Parties for the arbitration proceedings as well as the confidentiality of the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the disclosure of the arbitral proceedings, or of any of the documents exchanged in, produced in or created for the arbitration proceedings or if the disclosure of the award is required by applicable law, rule or regulation or is compelled by a court or governmental agency, authority or body: (A) the Parties shall use the legitimate and legal means available to minimize the scope of their disclosure to third parties; and (B) the Party compelled to make the disclosure shall inform the other Party and the arbitrator at least 20 Business Days in advance of the disclosure (or if 20 Business Days’ notice is not practicable because the Party is required to make the disclosure less than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of the event or occurrence giving rise to such disclosure requirement, then notice to the other Party and the arbitrator shall be provided as soon as practicable after such event or occurrence).
     (vi) The duty of the Parties to arbitrate any dispute or claim within the scope of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. The Parties specifically agree that any action must be brought, if at all, within two years from discovery of the cause of action.
     (vii) The discretion of the arbitrator to fashion remedies shall be no broader than the legal and equitable remedies available to a court (unless the parties expressly agree otherwise prior to the start of arbitration). In no event, however, shall the arbitrator award a remedy which enjoins a Party or its customers to stop manufacturing, using, marketing, selling, offering for sale, or importing such Party’s products. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event, shall the arbitrator award a remedy which enjoins a Party to license to the other Party any of its intellectual property rights of whatever nature. The arbitrator will have no authority to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each Party expressly waives and foregoes any right to punitive, exemplary or similar damages, except as such damages may be required by statute. In no event shall the amount of damages awarded to the prevailing Party exceed or otherwise be inconsistent with any of the applicable limitations on damages set forth in this Agreement, including Sections 6.2 and 6.5.
     (viii) The arbitrator may not order any conservatory or interim relief measures of any kind. In any event, however, either Party may apply for conservatory or interim relief measures to the courts of the State of New York or

54


 

the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York which shall have exclusive jurisdiction to grant such injunctive relief.
     (ix) The Parties shall agree upon what, if any, disclosure to the other parties to the arbitration shall be permitted. If the Parties can not agree on the form of disclosure within 30 days after the appointment of the arbitrator, then the Parties agree that in addition to the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC, the arbitrators shall apply the IBA Rules of Evidence. In case of conflict between Rules of Arbitration of the ICC and the IBA Rules of evidence, the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC shall prevail. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall anything verbally or in writing used strictly for settlement purposes between the Parties be permitted by the arbitration to be used as evidence for either Party’s case.
     (x) The Parties shall equally bear the costs of the arbitration. Each Party shall bear the fees and expenses of its appointed experts and shall bear its own legal expenses. For the purpose of this clause, the term “costs of arbitration” includes only: (A) the fees and expenses of the arbitrator; (B) in the case of an arbitration governed by the ICC Rules, the ICC administrative expenses fixed by the Court of Arbitration of the ICC; and (C) the fees and expenses of any experts appointed by the arbitrator.
     7.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (d) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.11.
     7.12 Third Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither ST nor FP shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement for any purpose. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any other Person, including any employee or former employee of Intel or ST or any of their respective Affiliates (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof).
     7.13 Specific Performance. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any Party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein,

55


 

may cause irreparable injury to the other Party, for which damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such Party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder.
     7.14 No Presumption Against Drafting Party.
