In connection with any such access, Buyer and its Representatives shall cooperate with Seller and the Sold Companies and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller and the Sold Companies shall not be required to disclose any information to Buyer if such disclosure would be reasonably likely to jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or conflict with any confidentiality obligations to which Seller or any of the Sold Companies is bound; provided, however, that Seller shall and shall cause the Sold Companies to, take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of any such confidentiality obligations upon Buyer’s reasonable prior written request (it being understood that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require any of Seller or the Sold Companies to pay any consideration to any third party or amend or modify any Contract).

Each of Seller and Buyer shall promptly inform the other party of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with, any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Entity regarding any such filings or any such transaction. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall independently participate in any meeting with any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. To the extent permissible under applicable Law, each of Seller and Buyer will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating to proceedings under the HSR Act.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 5.3, each of Seller and Buyer shall provide or cause to be provided as promptly as practicable to any Governmental Antitrust Authority all information and documents requested by such Governmental Antitrust Authority or necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including filing any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, and thereafter to respond promptly to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be made under the HSR Act.

(d) If any Action is instituted by any private party challenging this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any applicable Competition Law, each of Buyer and Seller, at the sole cost and expense of Buyer, use its reasonable best efforts to oppose or defend against such Action to prevent or enjoin consummation of this Agreement (and the transactions contemplated herein).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree and acknowledge that neither this Section 5.3 nor the “reasonable best efforts” standard shall require, or be construed to require Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in order to obtain any required approval from any Governmental Entity or any third party to (i) propose, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of businesses, product lines or assets of Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including the Sold Companies following the Closing), (ii) terminate existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including the Sold Companies following the Closing), (iii) terminate any venture or other arrangement of the Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including the Sold Companies following the Closing), (iv) otherwise take or commit to take actions that after the Closing Date would limit Buyer’s or its Subsidiaries’ (including the Sold Companies’ following the Closing) freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Sold Companies following the Closing), (v) subject to Section 5.3(d), oppose or defend against any Action to prevent or enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (vi) defend any Action brought by any Governmental Entity in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated, overturned or terminated, including by appeal if necessary, in order to resolve any such objections or challenge as such Governmental Entity or private party may have to such transactions under any applicable Competition Law so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.4 Third Party Consents. Each of Buyer and Seller shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain at the earliest practicable date all Consents required under any Contracts with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the consents and approvals referred to in Section 3.5(b) (or Section 3.5(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule) and Section 4.3(b) (or Section 4.3(b) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule); provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be obligated to pay (or cause to be paid) any consideration to any third party from whom any such consent or approval is requested under any Contract, other than fees and expenses required to be paid in connection with obtaining any such Consent pursuant to the express terms of any such Contract, which shall be paid by Seller at its sole expense; provided, further, that except as set forth in Section 6.2(i), each of Seller and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that obtaining any such Consents shall not be a condition to Closing.

(a) Seller and Buyer agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating directly to the Sold Companies (including access to books and records, employees, contractors and representatives) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any Action relating to any Tax Return. Seller and Buyer shall retain, all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Sold Companies until the expiration of all relevant statutes of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Seller and Buyer, as the case may be, any extensions thereof). At the end of such period, Seller shall provide the Buyer with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period Buyer can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records.

(b) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns in respect of the Sold Companies for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Sold Companies to the extent permitted by applicable Law and Buyer shall cause the Sold Companies to file such Tax Returns; provided, that Buyer may draw from the Escrow Account the amount of Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns of the Sold Companies at least two (2) Business Days before the date such Taxes are due, to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price Elements. Seller shall (x) provide Buyer with drafts of any such income Tax Returns for Buyer’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Tax Returns and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such non-income Tax Returns for Buyer’s review and comment at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such Tax Returns; provided, further, that Seller shall consider Buyer’s comments in good faith.

(c) Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any Tax Returns of the Sold Companies for all Straddle Periods in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Sold Companies to the extent permitted under applicable Law and Buyer may draw from the Escrow Account the amount of such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that is deemed to end on the close of business on the Closing Date at least two (2) Business Days before the date such Taxes are due, to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price Elements; provided, that Buyer shall (i) provide Seller with drafts of any such income Tax Returns for Seller’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Tax Returns and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such non-income Tax Returns for Seller’s review and comment at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such Tax Returns; provided, further, that Buyer shall consider Seller’s comments in good faith. For the purposes of this Section 5.5(c) and Section 8.2(a)(v), the Tax that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period constituting the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in the case of Property Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and (y) the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended at the close of business on the Closing Date.

(d) Buyer may, in its sole discretion, make an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the Sold Companies other than Storage AZ Buyer shall provide notice to Seller upon making any such election and Seller shall provide such notice to its shareholders pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.338-2(e)(4). Buyer shall not make any Tax election under the Code with respect to Storage AZ that would cause the sale of Storage AZ stock to be treated as an asset sale for Tax purposes, including an election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code.

(e) Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer, or, after the Closing, the Sold Companies, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer or the Sold Companies become entitled, with respect to Taxes paid by the Sold Companies for a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller, except as noted below. Buyer shall promptly pay over to Seller the amount of any such refund or any such credit, less any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or Taxes actually due as a result of such Tax refund, within five (5) days after the receipt or entitlement thereto, except to the extent such

refund arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other tax benefit from a Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or such refund was reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price Elements. To the extent there is a taxable loss shown on Storage AZ’s U.S. federal income Tax Return for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare, pursuant to the procedures set forth above in Section 5.5(b), a refund claim on IRS Form 1139 (or other applicable IRS Form and, to the extent possible, any corresponding state income Tax form or return) for the carryback of such loss. Upon reasonable request by Seller, and at the expense of Seller, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Sold Companies to seek refunds and credits described in this Section 5.5(e). To the extent any Tax refund or credit paid to Seller pursuant to this Section 5.5 or reflected in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price Elements is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Taxing Authority, Seller agrees promptly to repay the amount of such refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Taxing Authority, to Buyer.

Each Business Employee (including each Key Employee) who continues in employment with Buyer or an Affiliate thereof (including one of the Sold Companies) after the Closing shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Continuing Employee”. Subject to the terms of any Key Employee Offer Letter, with respect to all Continuing Employees, Buyer hereby agrees to maintain, or cause such applicable Affiliate to maintain, the annual base salary or annual wage level, as applicable, annual target bonus or commission opportunity, as applicable, and defined contribution pension and welfare benefits

that are collectively no less favorable in the aggregate than the annual base salary or annual wage level, annual target bonus or commission opportunity, defined pension and welfare benefits provided collectively to similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates for a period of no less than one (1) year following the Closing; provided, however, that, for Business Employees employed outside of the United States, the terms and conditions of employment shall be as required by applicable Law.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (and, with respect to any New Business Employee, as soon as reasonably practicable after such New Business Employee’s acceptance of an Offer Letter delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.6(a)), Buyer shall provide reasonable information to Business Employees regarding Buyer’s (or any of its applicable Affiliates’) employee benefit plans (to the extent such plans will be made available to Business Employees as contemplated by Section 5.6(a)) and employee orientation sessions with respect to the continued employment of the Business Employees after the Closing with Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies) (with such sessions to be held at the offices of the Sold Companies where such Business Employees are currently located during scheduled work hours at times reasonably agreed in writing by Seller and Buyer). During the Pre-Closing Period, (i) Seller shall allow Buyer to meet with Business Employees (either individually or in groups) during breaks, outside of scheduled work hours or as otherwise agreed to by the Seller and Buyer, in any case, as reasonably necessary in connection with the continued employment of the Business Employees after the Closing with Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies); provided, that Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during any such contact between Buyer and any Business Employees, and (ii) Buyer shall provide to Seller each material written communication (including all forms of Offer Letters), Buyer or any of its Affiliates intends to deliver to any of the Business Employees regarding his or her continued employment after the Closing at least 48 hours prior to the delivery of such communication to the Business Employee and shall consider in good faith any comments to such communication Seller may provide to Buyer prior to the expiration of such 48-hour period before delivering such communication to the Business Employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to encourage and facilitate each of the Business Employees entry into an Offer Letter as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of such Offer Letter to such Business Employee and to not revoke or repudiate such Offer Letter or otherwise cease to be employed by a Sold Company prior to the Closing Date, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall, and each of Seller and Buyer shall cause their Affiliates not to, make any communication to any Business Employee or engage in any other activity, in each case, that is intended to, or that would reasonably be expected to, discourage any Business Employee from promptly executing and delivering the Offer Letter delivered to such Business Employee pursuant to Section 5.6(a) or encourage any Business Employee or Key Employee to revoke or repudiate the Offer Letter or Key Employee Offer Letter, as applicable, of such Business Employee or Key Employee or otherwise cease to be employed by a Sold Company prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to recognize each Continuing Employee’s service with Seller, the Sold Companies, or any of their respective Affiliates or predecessors as of the Closing Date as service with Buyer, the Sold Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, for all purposes (including eligibility, vesting, eligibility waiting periods and benefit accruals but excluding benefit accruals

under any defined benefit pension plan and any equity incentive plans) in Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ employee benefit plans, agreements, policies or other arrangements in which such Continuing Employees participate following the Closing Date (the “Buyer Benefit Plans”) (unless such credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period). In addition, (i) to the extent pre-existing condition limitations have been met or are otherwise inapplicable with respect to Continuing Employees under each Company Benefit Plan or Seller Benefit Plan, as applicable, that is an employee welfare benefit plan as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any such pre-existing condition limitations under the corresponding Buyer Benefit Plans and (ii) Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize (or cause to be recognized) the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by Continuing Employees and their respective spouses, same-sex domestic partners or dependents during the plan year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying the deductibles and co-payment or out-of-pocket limitations for such plan year under the relevant Buyer Benefit Plans (to the extent such recognition would have been given under comparable Company Benefit Plans or Seller Benefit Plans prior to the Closing).

(d) Buyer shall, or shall cause its respective Affiliates to, credit each Continuing Employee with the accrued and unused vacation days and any personal and sickness days accrued in accordance with the vacation and personnel policies of Seller, the Sold Companies or any of their respective Affiliates in effect as of the Closing.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.5(e) are included for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights (x) in any other Person, including any current or former Business Employees, any participant in any Company Benefit Plan or any Seller Benefit Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or any other service provider of Seller or the Sold Companies, or (y) to employment or continued employment with Buyer, the Sold Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) prevent or restrict in any way the right of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any employee, consultant, director, manager or other service provider of the Sold Companies (or to cause any of the foregoing actions) at any time, or to change (or cause the change of) the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment or service of any such service providers at any time, (iii) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan, any Seller Benefit Plan, any Buyer Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or (iv) obligate Buyer or its Affiliates to adopt or maintain any particular plan or program or other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time or prevent Buyer or its Affiliates from modifying or terminating any such plan, program or other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause each Vested Business Employee Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Closing and has an exercise price per Seller Share that is equal to or greater than the Vested Per Share Portion of the Distributable Closing Date Consideration will be cancelled and terminated immediately prior to the Closing without consideration therefor.

(ii) As soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall pay (or caused to be paid to) each former holder of a Vested Business Employee Option (A) the Vested Business Employee Option Closing Consideration and (B) the Vested Business Employee Option Legacy Defense Consideration with respect to each Vested Business Employee Option formerly held by such holder, in each case, subject to all applicable withholdings and without interest.

Subject to the immediately following sentence, each Assumed Business Employee Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the Closing (including the vesting schedule and such

other terms and conditions as are set forth in the Seller Option Plan and the applicable stock option agreement with respect to such Assumed Business Employee Option, the forms of which have been previously provided to Buyer), except that such Assumed Business Employee Option thereafter shall be or become in accordance with its terms exercisable for that number of whole Buyer Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of Buyer Shares) of (i) the number of Seller Shares that would have been issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Business Employee Option immediately prior to the Closing (assuming, solely for this purpose, that such Assumed Business Employee Option was vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Closing) multiplied by (ii) the Option Exchange Ratio, and the per share exercise price for the Buyer Shares payable upon exercise of such Assumed Business Employee Option shall be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next whole cent) obtained by dividing (i) the per share exercise price of such Assumed Business Employee Option immediately prior to the Closing by (ii) the Option Exchange Ratio. At the Closing, the Seller Option Plan shall be deemed assumed by Buyer with respect to Assumed Business Employee Options.

(ii) As soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid to) each holder of an Assumed Business Employee Option an amount in cash equal to the product (A) the Fully Diluted Per Share Portion of the Legacy Defense Value, multiplied by (B) the number of Seller Shares subject to such Assumed Business Employee Option immediately prior to the Closing, in each case, subject to all applicable withholdings and without interest.

(iii) Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause the Buyer Shares issuable upon exercise of the Assumed Business Employee Options to be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing (and in any event no later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date), (B) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such Assumed Business Employee Options remain outstanding, and (C) maintain a sufficient number of reserved Buyer Shares for issuance upon exercise thereof.

(c) Reimbursement of Certain Costs and Expenses. The Seller Group agrees, to reimburse Buyer for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any allocation of Buyer’s overhead costs or the salary or benefits of any employees of Buyer or any of its Affiliates but shall include the costs and expenses of any independent contractors or other third parties engaged by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to the extent such engagement is directly related to administering the distribution of the payments contemplated by this Section 5.7(c)) incurred by Buyer in connection with administering the distribution of any payments received from Seller pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(iii) or Section 5.7(a)(iii) (including, without limitation, processing tax withholdings and payroll adjustments) to holders of the Vested Business Employee Options; provided, however, that the aggregate reimbursement obligation of the Seller Group pursuant to this Section 5.7(c) shall not exceed $100,000 without the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, each member of the Seller Group agrees that it will not, and will cause the other Remaining Entities not to, participate or engage in the design of, or to engage or direct any third party to design on behalf of any Remaining Entity, any Enterprise Storage Device. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.8(a) shall not (i) prohibit any member of the Seller Group or other Remaining Entity, directly or through any Affiliate, from hereafter (A) investing in or holding not more than 10% of the outstanding capital stock or other ownership interests of any Person or (B) acquiring and continuing to own and operate any Person that participates or engages in the manufacture, licensing, distribution, sale or design of any Enterprise Storage Device if such actions account for no more than 10% of such Person’s revenues for the trailing four quarters measured at the time of such acquisition; and (ii) apply to (A) any products that are manufactured by any of the Remaining Entities or any third parties that are bought and sold or otherwise handled by any of the Remaining Entities as a logistics provider, (B) any products for which any of the Remaining Entities is acting as a contract manufacturer, which products are manufactured based upon specifications, designs and software provided by third parties, (C) any products sold in Brazil that have a Serial ATA interface and the core performance and features of which have been designed by a third party, or (D) products for use in the Legacy Defense Business, the current part numbers of which are listed on Annex II of Exhibit A attached hereto. In the event that any member of the Seller Group or any of the other Remaining Entities shall sell to a Person any portion of their respective businesses (whether by means of acquisition, asset purchase, merger, consolidation, similar business combination or otherwise), the restrictions contained in this Section 5.8(a) shall not prohibit such sale and shall not apply to any such Person or such Person’s Affiliates (other than the Seller Group and the other Remaining Entities); provided, that the Seller Group shall continue to be bound by this Section 5.8(a) following such sale.

(b) For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, each member of the Seller Group agrees that it will not, and will cause the other Remaining Entities not to, directly or indirectly, hire or employ or solicit the employment of, or make or extend any offer of employment to, any Business Employee who is then employed by Buyer or the Sold Companies or their Affiliates, or any Person who is covered by the immediately following sentence. The restrictions of this Section 5.8(b) shall cease to apply to a Business Employee three (3) months after the later of the date of termination of his or her employment with Buyer, any of the Sold Companies or any of their Affiliates, without any solicitation or encouragement by any Remaining Entity or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.8(b) shall restrict or preclude any Remaining Entity or its Affiliates from, directly or indirectly, hiring or employing or soliciting the employment of, or making or extending any offer of employment to, any Business Employee (i) resulting from generalized searches for employees by the use of advertisements in the media (including trade media) or by engaging search firms that are not instructed to solicit the Business Employees or (ii) if such Business Employee approaches any Remaining Entity or any of its Affiliates on an unsolicited basis.

(c) Each of Buyer and the Seller Group mutually agree that this Section 5.8 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s and the Seller Group’s legitimate business interests and the value of the business of the Sold Companies, the Sold Shares and the

Seller Group’s other businesses, and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on any party and their respective successors.

(d) If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in this Section 5.8 is invalid or unenforceable, then each member of the Seller Group and Buyer agree that the court or tribunal will have the power (but without affecting the right of any member of the Seller Group or Buyer to obtain the relief provided for in this Section 5.8 in any jurisdiction other than such court’s or tribunal’s jurisdiction) to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. To the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, each member of the Seller Group and hereby waives on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors, any provision of Law which renders any provision of this Section 5.8 invalid, void or unenforceable in any respect.

(e) Each member of the Seller Group acknowledges and agrees that the remedy of indemnity payments pursuant to ARTICLE VIII and the other remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.8 would be inadequate, and agrees that without intending to limit any additional available remedies, temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief (including specific performance) may be granted to Buyer without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of legal remedy, and without posting any bond or other undertaking, in any Action which may be brought to enforce this Section 5.8.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of a payoff letter (subject to Seller’s receipt of the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant Section 2.2(b)), in customary form, from SMART Worldwide under the Revolving Credit Agreement. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver all notices (which notices may be subject to the consummation of the Closing) and take all other actions to facilitate the termination of all commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the repayment in full of all Obligations (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) then outstanding to SMART Worldwide, the release of any Liens and termination of all guarantees in connection therewith on the Closing Date (such repayment, release and termination, the “Revolving Credit Agreement Release”); provided, that in no event shall this Section 5.9 require the Seller or any of the Sold Companies or its other Subsidiaries to cause such Revolving Credit Agreement Release unless the Closing shall occur substantially concurrently and the Seller has received the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2(b). Upon receipt of the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2(b), Seller shall repay or cause to be repaid to SMART Worldwide all Obligations outstanding as of the Closing Date.

(b) Excluding (i) the Revolving Credit Agreement (which is addressed in Section 5.9(a) above) and (ii) each of the Closing Agreements (which shall remain in effect following the Closing in accordance with their terms), Seller shall cause (i) all Contracts (other than the Contracts set forth on Section 5.9(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Existing Shared Services Agreements”)) between the Sold Companies, on the one hand, and any of the

Remaining Entities, on the other hand, to be terminated at or prior to the Closing, and shall cause any amounts payable thereunder to be paid as required prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Seller shall also cause the Existing Shared Services Agreements to be terminated at or prior to the Closing, provided that any outstanding receivables or payables between the Sold Companies, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies), on the other hand, in each case arising under the Existing Shared Services Agreements (the “Interdivisional Payables and Receivables”) shall remain outstanding and shall be paid and satisfied by the party that is the obligor in accordance with the terms thereof (and the termination of the Existing Shared Services Agreements shall not otherwise relieve the obligor of such obligations under such Interdivisional Payables and Receivables); provided, that the termination of any such Contracts, is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, impair, alter, or change any of the Sold Companies’ or the Remaining Entities’ ownership rights in the assets of their respective businesses.

(c) Buyer agrees to take any and all actions necessary to cause Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies) to be absolutely and unconditionally relieved, on or prior to the Closing Date, of all liabilities and obligations arising out of the Westford LC. To the extent Seller and its Affiliates are not absolutely and unconditionally relieved of all such liabilities and obligations on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to continue to take any and all actions necessary to absolutely and unconditionally relieve Seller and its Affiliates of all such liabilities and obligations.

(a) After the Closing for a period of three years, each party agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other party and its Representatives, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor and at the requesting party’s sole expense, reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the other parties’ employees and to any books, records, documents, files and correspondence in the possession or under the control of such party, in each case if and to the extent relating to the Sold Companies prior to the Closing and that the requesting party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting party (including under applicable securities Laws) by any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the requesting party, including in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act, (ii) for use in any other Action or in order to satisfy Tax, audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements or (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and the Closing Agreements; provided, however, that no party shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate any Law or agreement, or waive any attorney client or other similar privilege, and each party may redact information regarding itself or its Subsidiaries or otherwise not relating to the Sold Companies prior to the Closing, and, in the event such provision of information could reasonably be expected to violate any Law or agreement or waive any attorney client or other similar privilege, the parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, each party agrees to use its reasonable commercial efforts to retain the books, records, documents, instruments, accounts,

correspondence, writings, evidences of title and other papers relating to the Sold Companies prior to the Closing (the “Books and Records”) in their respective possession or control for a commercially reasonable period of time, as set forth in their regular document retention policies, following the Closing Date or for such longer period as may be required by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may destroy or otherwise dispose of any Books and Records not in accordance with its retention policy, provided that, prior to such destruction or disposal (i) such party shall provide no less than 90 nor more than 120 days’ prior written notice to the other party of any such proposed destruction or disposal (which notice shall specify in detail which of the Books and Records is proposed to be so destroyed or disposed of), and (ii) if a recipient of such notice shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or disposal that any of the information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such recipient, such party proposing the destruction or disposal shall, as promptly as practicable, arrange for the delivery of such of the Books and Records as was requested by the recipient (it being understood that all reasonable out of pocket costs associated with the delivery of the requested Books and Records shall be paid by such recipient).

(c) In the case of a legal or other proceeding between one party or any of its Affiliates and a third party relating to the Sold Companies, this Agreement or any of the Closing Agreements (including any matters subject to indemnification hereunder or thereunder) or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other party, upon written request, the former (to the extent practicable), current (to the extent practicable) and future officers, employees, other personnel and agents of such party and its Subsidiaries as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available (other than materials covered by the attorney client privilege), to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceeding in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved. The requesting party shall bear all out of pocket costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing.

(d) Any information owned by a party that is provided to a requesting party pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing party. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information. No party shall have any liability to any other party in respect of this Section 5.10 in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Section 5.10 is found to be inaccurate. No party shall have any liability to any other party if any information is destroyed or lost after reasonable commercial efforts by such party to comply with the provisions of Section 5.10(d). Nothing in this Section 5.10 shall require any party to violate any agreement with any third parties regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information; provided, however, that in the event that any party is required under this Section 5.10 to disclose any such information, that party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s consent to the disclosure of such information and implement requisite procedures to enable the disclosure of such information.

(a) Neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue any press release or public announcement or comment concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless and only to the extent, in the judgment of such party upon the advice of its counsel, disclosure is required by applicable Law (including the periodic reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) or under the rules of any securities exchange on which the securities of such party or any of its Affiliates are listed; provided, that to the extent so required by applicable Law, the applicable party intending to make such release shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law to consult with the other party in advance of such release with respect to the text thereof.

(v) by either Seller or Buyer, if the Closing does not occur on or prior to 5:30 p.m. San Jose, California time on September 30, 2013 (as such date may be extended in accordance with this Section 7.1(a)(v), the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(a)(v) shall not be available to any party (A) whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has been a cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date or (B) in the event the other party has initiated proceedings to specifically enforce this Agreement while such proceedings are still pending; provided, further, that if the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(d) and Section 6.2(d) have not been satisfied or waived on or prior to such date, but all other conditions set forth Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 in have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), then the Termination Date may be extended by Seller or Buyer (by delivery of written notice to the other party prior to 5:30 p.m. San Jose, California time on the Termination Date) to a date no later than January 31, 2014.

(b) In the event of termination by Seller or Buyer, or both, pursuant to this Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other parties and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by any party. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are terminated as provided herein, Buyer shall return all documents and other material received from Seller relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, to Seller.

Each representation and warranty contained in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV shall survive the Closing and shall terminate on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, except that (a) Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.13 (the “Seller IP Reps”) shall survive the Closing and shall terminate on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date and (b) the Seller Fundamental Reps and Buyer Fundamental Reps shall survive the Closing and shall terminate ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(ii) any breach of any representations or warranties of Seller set forth in ARTICLE III, Exhibit A hereto or the certificate delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to Section 6.2(c) on and as of the Closing Date ((x) except in the cases of Section 3.6, Section 3.16(a) and the definition of “Material Contracts” for purposes of clause (i) of Section 3.17(b), without giving effect to references to any “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representations and warranties for purposes of determining any such breach or the calculation of Losses that the Buyer Indemnified Persons may incur arising out of or resulting from any such breach, (y) in the cases of Section 3.6, Section 3.16(a) and the

definition of “Material Contracts” for purposes of clause (i) of Section 3.17(b), without giving effect to references to any “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representations and warranties solely for purposes of determining the calculation of Losses that the Buyer Indemnified Persons may incur arising out of or resulting from any such breach and not for purposes of determining any such breach and (z) in the case of Section 3.13(g), without giving effect to the reference to “Knowledge of the Seller”); provided, that this Section 8.2(a)(ii) shall not apply to any Losses arising out of or resulting from a breach of any Seller IP Rep if such Losses arise out of or result from third party claims or third party counterclaims in connection with, or as a result of, any claims first made against such third parties by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Sold Companies);

(iii) any failure of Seller to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement or in Exhibit A hereto;

(vi) the conduct and operation of the Legacy Defense Business before and following the Closing; and

(vii) the conduct and operation of the Remaining Entities before and following the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, even if any of the Buyer Indemnified Persons would otherwise be entitled to recover a Loss pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) none of the Buyer Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to any indemnification for a Loss pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(a)(ii) (in each case, other than with respect to breaches of Seller Fundamental Reps (excluding Section 3.12))

if, with respect to any individual item of Loss, such item (together with any related series of items of Loss) is less than $75,000 (each, a “De Minimis Claim”);

(ii) none of the Buyer Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to any indemnification for a Loss pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(a)(ii) (in each case, other than with respect to breaches of Seller Fundamental Reps) unless the aggregate of all indemnifiable Losses (excluding all De Minimis Claims) pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(a)(ii) (in each case, other than with respect to breaches of Seller Fundamental Reps) would exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to the product of (A) the Final Purchase Price multiplied by (B) 0.6% (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible;

(iii) the maximum amount of, and the sole and exclusive resource with respect to, indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons in the aggregate pursuant to (A) Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(a)(ii) (in each case, other than (x) with respect to breaches of Seller IP Reps or Seller Fundamental Reps or (y) claims for actual fraud) and (B) Section 8.2(a)(iii) with respect to a breach of a Pre-Closing Covenant (in each case, the “Escrow Limited Claims”) shall be the balance of the Escrow Account (if any) at the time of such recovery;

(iv) the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons in the aggregate pursuant Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(a)(ii) with respect to breaches of Seller IP Reps (including any amounts recovered from the Escrow Account) shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the Final Purchase Price multiplied by (B) 20%;

(v) the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons in the aggregate pursuant to this Agreement (including any claim for actual fraud as contemplated by Section 8.11) shall be the Final Purchase Price; and

(vi) for purposes of indemnification under Section 8.2(a), Losses shall not include any reduction in any net operating loss carryover, capital loss carryover, or Tax credit carryover of the Sold Companies with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(i) any payment of indemnifiable Losses a Seller Indemnifying Person is obligated to make to a Buyer Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be paid first, to the extent of any funds remaining in the Escrow Account, by release of funds to Buyer (on behalf of the applicable Buyer Indemnified Persons) from the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and shall accordingly reduce the Escrow Amount; and

(ii) only with respect to any remaining indemnifiable Losses a Seller Indemnifying Person is obligated to make to a Buyer Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 8.2 (other than the Escrow Limited Claims), then the Seller Group members shall

be required to pay such additional indemnifiable Losses (subject to the express limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII) due and owing to any such Buyer Indemnified Person by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Seller, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Buyer Indemnified Persons, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Buyer Indemnified Persons or any of their Representatives.

Section 8.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, each of its Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives and Affiliates (the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and in respect and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Seller Indemnified Persons for any and all Losses that they may incur arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any breach of any representations or warranties of Buyer set forth in ARTICLE IV;

(b) any failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement;

(d) the conduct and operation of the businesses of the Sold Companies (excluding the Legacy Defense Business) before and following the Closing;

(e) any severance obligations payable to any Continuing Employee arising after the Closing due to any actions or inactions taken by, or at the direction of, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Sold Companies), other than any severance obligations that constitute Unpaid Sold Company Transaction Expenses.

Section 8.4 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party hereto in respect of a breach of representation or warranty, covenant or agreement shall terminate on the applicable survival termination date (as set forth in Section 8.1), unless an Indemnified Party shall have incurred a Loss prior to such applicable survival termination date and made a proper claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VIII, prior to such survival termination date, as applicable, including by delivering an Officer’s Claim Certificate to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 8.9. If an Indemnified Party has made a proper claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 and in accordance with Section 8.9 prior to such survival termination date, then such claim for such Loss incurred (and only such claim for such Loss incurred), if then unresolved, shall not be extinguished by the passage of the deadlines set forth in Section 8.1.

Section 8.5 Notice and Opportunity to Defend. Other than with respect to Tax Claims (which shall be governed by Section 8.6), if there occurs an event which a party asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, the party or parties seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the other party or parties obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly. If such event involves any claim or the commencement of any Action by a third Person (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to provide prompt notice as provided herein will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only if, and to the extent that, such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In the event of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may only assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if (a) it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing and without reservation of rights (subject to the limitations in this ARTICLE VIII) that there exists an indemnification obligation relating to such claim, (b) if such claim is an Escrow Limited Claim, the amount claimed in such claim is less than or equal to the current balance of the Escrow Account, (c) such claim does not primarily seek as a remedy the imposition of an equitable remedy that is binding upon Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any of the Sold Companies), (d) such claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal claim brought by a Governmental Entity, (e) such claim does not involve a Top Customer or Top Supplier and (f) an adverse resolution of such claim would not reasonably be expected to have material adverse effect on the business or operations of Buyer. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of such election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal costs or expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with such participation. In either case, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to cooperate fully with each other and their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. In no event may the Indemnifying Party consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third Party Claim (other than a judgment or settlement that (A) is on exclusively monetary terms with such monetary amounts paid by the Indemnifying Party concurrently with the effectiveness of the settlement, (B) does not involve any finding or admission of violation of Law or admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and (C) provides a complete and unconditional release of, or dismissal with prejudice of, all claims against any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim for all matters asserted in connection with such Third Party Claim) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 8.6 Procedures for Tax Claims. If a tax audit or other claim shall be made against Buyer, the Sold Companies or their Affiliates by any Taxing Authority, which, if successful, would result in an indemnity payment by Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(a)(ii) with respect to a breach of Seller’s representations or warranties in Section 3.8

or pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(v) (a “Tax Claim”), Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such Tax Claim stating the nature and basis of such Tax Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known by Buyer; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Buyer to so notify Seller shall not limit any indemnification obligations of Seller under ARTICLE VIII (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of the Tax Claim). If such Tax Claim is with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any Straddle Periods), Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to control, at its own expense, the conduct and resolution of such Tax Claim, provided that Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis and Buyer shall have the right to participate in such Tax Claim and, at its own expense, employ counsel of its choice for purposes of such participation. Seller shall not compromise or settle such Tax Claim without the Buyer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a Tax Claim is not controlled by Seller pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 8.6, Buyer shall control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Claim, provided that Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis and Seller shall have the right to participate in such Tax Claim and, at its own expense, employ counsel of its choice for purposes of such participation. Buyer shall not compromise or settle such Tax Claim without the Seller’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 8.7 Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the amount of any Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be calculated net of (a) any insurance proceeds actually received in cash (net of any applicable deductibles, co-payments, “retro premium” adjustments and similar costs or payments) by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates on account of such Loss, (b) any Tax Benefits inuring to the Indemnified Party on account of such Loss and (c) any indemnification, contribution or other payment actually received in cash (net of any applicable costs of recovery or collection thereof) from any third Person with respect to such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) seek full recovery from any third parties and under all insurance policies covering, and all right to indemnification and/or contribution from third Persons in respect of, any Loss and (B) mitigate any actual or potential Loss, in each case to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII (including, for example, Buyer’s judgment regarding the impact such actions might have on customers and other third parties having material continuing business relationships with the Sold Companies). In the event that an insurance, indemnification, contribution or other recovery is made or a Tax benefit described in this Section 8.7(b) is realized by the Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which it has been indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery or benefit shall be paid promptly in immediately available funds to the Indemnifying Party that provided such indemnification to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party receives a Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is realized by the Indemnified Party. For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean, with respect to any applicable Loss, any cash Tax savings or refunds that are received and actually recognized by the Indemnified Party in the tax year of the respective Loss, and any amounts actually credited against cash Taxes payable of the Indemnified Party in the tax year of the respective Loss, in each case determined on a with and without basis (comparing the actual

cash Tax liability of the Indemnified Party for the applicable year against the hypothetical cash Tax liability of the Indemnified Party had such Loss not been incurred); provided, that no Tax Benefit shall be taken into account with respect to a Loss to the extent such Loss (or the receipt of an indemnity payment in respect of such Loss) would result in a reduction of Tax basis in depreciable or amortizable property; provided, further, that in no event shall the Tax Benefit be deemed to exceed the amount of any indemnification payment paid to the Indemnified Party. The Seller Indemnified Persons or the Buyer Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to recover more than once for the same Loss. No Seller Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover any Loss if and to the extent such Loss is reflected in the calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Unpaid Sold Company Transaction Expenses or Closing Net Working Capital.

Section 8.8 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(a) If at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period for a representation or warranty in Section 8.1, an Indemnified Party (or Seller or Buyer, as applicable, on behalf thereof) determines in good faith that it has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, such Indemnified Party may deliver to the Indemnifying Party a certificate signed by any officer of the Indemnified Party (any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.9(a), an “Officer’s Claim Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII;

(ii) to the extent possible, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to receive as a claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, which shall be the amount of Losses such Indemnified Party claims to have so incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer; and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by the Indemnified Party) the material facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim.

No delay in providing such Officer’s Claim Certificate prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period for a representation or warranty in Section 8.1 shall affect an Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Claim Certificate to the Indemnifying Party, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party in good faith objects to any claim made by an Indemnified Party in any Officer’s Claim Certificate, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Officer’s Claim Certificate. A duplicate copy of such Claim Dispute Notice shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail, if and to the extent that such detail is available based upon the information available to such Indemnifying Party at such time, the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by the Indemnified Party in the Officer’s Claim Certificate. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then (i) each claim for indemnification set forth in such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the Indemnified Party’s favor for purposes of this ARTICLE VIII on the terms set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificate and (ii) if cash remains in the Escrow Account, then the Indemnified Party may direct the Escrow Agent to deliver cash from the Escrow Account to the Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 8.9(c).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Indemnifying Party in such Claim Dispute Notice. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, if cash remains in the Escrow Account, promptly delivered to the Escrow Agent, together with a Joint Direction (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) from Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement directing the Escrow Agent to distribute cash from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.

(e) If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with Section 9.1 and Section 9.13.

(a) On the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall deliver a Joint Direction to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement to release an amount from the Escrow Account to Seller equal to (i) the balance of the Escrow Account (if any) at such date less (ii) the aggregate amount of any outstanding unresolved claims of Buyer Indemnified Persons for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 set forth in a Claim Dispute Notice (each such claim, an “Unresolved Claim”). The aggregate amount of any Unresolved Claims retained in the Escrow Account in accordance with the preceding sentence is referred to as the “Retained Escrow Amount”).

(b) In the event and to the extent that (i) all or any portion of the amount of an Unresolved Claim is resolved against the relevant Buyer Indemnified Persons (such amount, a “Seller Favorable Outcome”) and (ii) the aggregate Retained Escrow Amount at such time

exceeds the amount of the aggregate Unresolved Claims after giving effect to such Seller Favorable Outcome (such excess, if any, the “Retained Escrow Excess”), Buyer and Seller shall deliver a Joint Direction to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement to release an amount from the Escrow Account to Seller equal to such Retained Escrow Excess.

(c) In the event and to the extent that all or any portion of the amount of an Unresolved Claim is resolved in favor of the relevant Buyer Indemnified Persons (such amount, a “Buyer Favorable Outcome”), Buyer and Seller shall deliver a Joint Direction to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement to release an amount from the Escrow Account to Seller equal to such Buyer Favorable Outcome.

Section 8.11 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.5, Section 2.6 and, the indemnification provided in this ARTICLE VIII, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any party in connection with any Losses arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 8.11 shall limit or restrict the ability or right of any party hereto (x) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for any breach or alleged breach of any provision of ARTICLE II, ARTICLE V, ARTICLE VIII or ARTICLE IX or (y) to pursue claims for actual fraud (without duplication for any Losses recovered pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE VIII); provided, that (i) any procedures in respect of and limitations on Losses or liabilities in this ARTICLE VIII shall in no event be diminished or circumvented by such relief and (ii) any such claim for actual fraud shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Section 8.2(b)(v). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer Indemnified Persons may not avoid any limitation on liability by (A) seeking damages, subject to the foregoing clause (y), for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived or (B) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party hereto (or a successor to a party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement. EACH OF THE BUYER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE WHICH LIMITS THE EFFECT OF A RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS. EACH OF THE BUYER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF STATUTORY PROTECTION AGAINST A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS. EACH OF THE BUYER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT. The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the Buyer Indemnified Persons’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Section 8.2 and Section 8.3) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder.

Section 9.1 Governing Law. This Agreement and all Actions (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any Action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

Section 9.2 Materiality; Disclosure Schedules. As used in this Agreement, unless the context would require otherwise, the term “material” and the concept of the “material” nature of an effect upon the Sold Companies shall be measured relative to the Sold Companies, taken as a whole. There have been included in the Seller Disclosure Schedule and/or the Buyer Disclosure Schedule and may be included elsewhere in this Agreement items which are not “material” within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence for informational purposes and in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an agreement or admission by Seller or Buyer that such items are “material” or to further define the meaning of such term for purposes of this Agreement. With respect to the Seller Disclosure Schedule and Buyer Disclosure Schedule hereto, the disclosures made on any Schedule with respect to any representation or warranty shall be deemed to be made with respect to any other representation or warranty to which it relates or to which such matter’s application or relevance is reasonably apparent.

(a) Whether or not the Closing takes place, and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Closing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

(b) All Transfer Taxes applicable to the conveyance and transfer from Seller to Buyer of the Sold Shares or the Sold Companies and any other transfer or documentary Taxes in connection therewith shall be borne by Seller.

Section 9.4 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto.

Section 9.5 Waiver. Any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, which may be lawfully waived, may be waived in writing at any time by each party which is entitled to the benefits thereof. Any waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any party hereto shall be binding only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of such party making specific reference to this Agreement. No failure to enforce or delay in enforcing any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of such

provision and no waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Person to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 9.14 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an Affiliate of Seller, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by Seller.

Section 9.15 Provision Respecting Legal Representation. It is acknowledged by Buyer that each of the Seller Group members, the Sold Companies, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and certain of their respective Affiliates have retained STB to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that STB has not acted as counsel for any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that none of the other parties has the status of a client of STB for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Each of Seller and Buyer hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or any of the Sold Companies, on the one hand, and any of the Seller Group members, on the other hand, STB may represent such Seller Group member in such dispute even though the interests of such Seller Group member may be directly adverse to Buyer or any of the Sold Companies, and even though STB formerly may have represented each of the Seller Group members, the Sold Companies, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and certain of their respective Affiliates in a matter substantially related to such dispute; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if STB, at the time of such dispute, is handling ongoing matters for Buyer or any of the Sold Companies. Buyer further agrees that, in connection with any future dispute between Buyer, any of the Sold Companies and/or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Seller Group members, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and/or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as to all communications among STB, the Seller Group members, the Sold Companies, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and their respective Affiliates that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the applicable Seller Group member, the applicable Sold Company, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and/or the applicable Affiliate, as the case may be, and may be controlled by the applicable Seller Group member, the applicable Sold Company, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and/or the applicable Affiliate, as the case may be, and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

Section 9.16 Enforcement of Agreement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by any party could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone.

provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or inadequacy of legal remedy, and without posting any bond, security or other undertaking. The pursuit of specific enforcement by any party hereto will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such party may be entitled at any time.

Section 9.17 Non-Recourse. Except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Nondisclosure Agreement, all claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as parties in the preamble to this Agreement (the “Contracting Parties”).

Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Nondisclosure Agreement, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any other Contracting Party’s Nonparty Affiliate in respect of this Agreement, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any other Contracting Party’s Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.

Buyer hereby waives presentment, protest, notice, dishonor or default, demand for payment and any other notices to which Buyer might otherwise be entitled and any legal or equitable defenses to the enforcement of this guarantee.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officer, in each case as of the date first above written.

In order to induce Buyer and BuyerSub to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each member of the Seller Group, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenants and agrees, effective from and after the Closing, as follows:

4. Severability of Provisions.

(a) This letter and all claims or causes of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this letter or the negotiation, execution or performance of this letter (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this letter) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware located in Dover, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof), or if such court does not have (or declines to accept) jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof) for the purposes of any Action arising out of or relating to this letter or any transaction contemplated hereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware located in Dover, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof), or if such court does not have (or declines to accept) jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware (and any appellate court thereof).

Each of the parties hereto further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document to such party’s respective address listed above in one of the manners set forth in Section 9.7 of the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process in any such Action.

(a) Each of the undersigned on its own behalf and on behalf of each of the Associated Parties, hereby absolutely, generally, irrevocably, unconditionally and completely releases, acquits and forever discharges each of the Releasees from any Claim, that any of the Associated Parties may have had in the past, may now have or may have in the future against any of the Releasees, in each case that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to (x) the negotiation, execution, performance, breach or otherwise related to or arising out of, the Existing Shared Services Agreements, and (y) against any of the Releasees (as applicable), to extent acting in its capacity as controlling equityholder of the Sold Companies (as applicable), in each case prior to, or contemporaneous with the Closing; provided, however, that none of the Associated Parties are releasing any Claim of the Associated Parties under the Purchase Agreement (including with respect to the Interdivisional Payables and Receivables under any Existing Shared Service Agreement, which, pursuant to Section 5.9(b) of the Purchase Agreement shall remain outstanding and shall be paid and satisfied in accordance with the terms of such Existing Shared Service Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter) or under any of the Closing Agreements.

(i) “Associated Parties” means each of the undersigned’s (A) predecessors and successors and (B) past, present and future assigns;

(iii) “Releasees” means: (A) each member of the Seller Group; and (B) the successors and past, present and future assigns, and directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents and other representatives of the respective entities identified or otherwise referred to in clause “(A)”, in each case, solely in their capacity as such.

6. Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This letter and the Purchase Agreement (including the Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules thereto) contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No amendment, supplement, modification, rescission or waiver of this letter shall be binding unless consented to in writing by each member of the Seller Group, on the one hand, and each of the undersigned, on the other hand.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2013 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), by and between SMART Storage Systems (Global Holdings), Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Seller”), SanDisk Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), SanDisk Manufacturing, a Republic of Ireland company (“BuyerSub”), and solely for purposes of Section 5.7(c), Section 5.8, Article VIII and Article IX of the Agreement, Saleen Holdings, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Saleen Holdings”), Saleen Intermediate Holdings, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saleen Holdings (“Saleen Intermediate”), and SMART Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saleen Intermediate (“SMART Worldwide” and together with Seller, Buyer, Saleen Holding and Saleen Intermediate, the “parties”).

The account balances comprising Closing Net Working Capital shall be derived from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Sold Companies (excluding the Legacy Defense Business) as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date after giving effect to the Restructuring (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Exhibit C, the Closing Balance Sheet shall prepared using the same accounting methods, historical policies, practices, principles and procedures with consistent classifications and estimation methodologies as were used in the preparation of the Enterprise Financial Statements as of, and for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013. The Closing Balance Sheet shall entirely disregard (x) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Sold Companies as a result of (A) the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or the Closing Agreements (other than giving effect to the Restructuring), or (B) any transaction entered into by any of Buyer and/or its Subsidiaries (including the Sold Companies after the Closing) in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or the Closing Agreements, and (y) any of the plans, transactions, or changes which Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Sold Companies after the Closing) intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made at or after the Closing with respect to any of the Sold Companies or the businesses or assets of any of the Sold Companies, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to any of Sold Companies or any of their respective assets or liabilities. Valuations and estimates for the Closing Balance Sheet shall not reflect or take into account developments between the date thereof and the date of preparation or completion of the Closing Balance Sheet except for those developments that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed on the date of the Closing Balance Sheet, but without taking into account any of the transactions to occur on the Closing Date.

The following accounting methods and provisions will be utilized for purposes of preparing and determining the Closing Balance Sheet, regardless of whether or not such accounting methods and provisions are in accordance with the past practices of the Sold Companies:

Day immediately preceding the Closing Date and (B) the number of significant goal targets for fiscal six-months under the 2013 Seller Annual Bonus Plan achieved through the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date as a percentage of the total number of significant goal targets for such fiscal six-months under the 2013 Seller Annual Bonus Plan. To the extent the Closing Date occurs after August 31, 2013 and the Board of Directors of Seller adopts a Seller Annual Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2014 in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(xvi) of the Agreement, semi-annual bonus accruals for non-executive Business Employees under such 2014 Seller Annual Bonus Plan for the fiscal six-months ended February 28, 2014 will be accrued in similar methods to the above for such fiscal six-months through the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

Current Assets shall be comprised solely of the following current assets, consistent with the classification of balances presented in the Enterprise Financial Statements for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013, except in any event to the extent otherwise indicated below:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the following are Current Assets:

(iii) assets associated with costs or expenses related to Closing Indebtedness; and

Current Liabilities shall be comprised solely of the following current liabilities, consistent with the classification of balances presented in the Enterprise Financial Statements for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013, except in any event to the extent otherwise indicated below:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the following are Current Liabilities:

(v) any accrual for non-cash compensation expenses incurred in connection with the granting or vesting of any equity.

For illustration purposes only, attached as Schedule A hereto is a calculation of Closing Net Working Capital as of May 31, 2013, derived from the Enterprise Financial Statements.

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated as of [ ] (this “Agreement”), by and among SMART STORAGE SYSTEMS (GLOBAL HOLDINGS), INC., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Seller”), SALEEN HOLDINGS, INC., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Saleen Holdings”), SALEEN INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Saleen Holdings (“Saleen Intermediate”), SMART WORLDWIDE HOLDINGS, INC. a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saleen Intermediate (“SMART Worldwide” and together with Seller, Saleen Holdings and Saleen Intermediate, the “Seller Group”), SANDISK CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and Bank of America, National Association, a national banking association duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, having an office in Chicago, Illinois (the “Escrow Agent” and, together with each of the Seller Group members and Buyer, sometimes referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, Seller, Buyer, SanDisk Manufacturing, a Republic of Ireland company (“BuyerSub”), and, solely for the purposes set forth therein, the other members of the Seller Group have entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2013 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller will sell certain Sold Shares to Buyer and BuyerSub (as applicable). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in United States dollars to an escrow account hereby established by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”), an amount equal to $30,498,134.31 to be held in the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Buyer and the Seller Group desire to appoint the Escrow Agent to act as escrow agent hereunder, and the Escrow Agent has agreed to so act upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, the Stock Purchase Agreement provides for payments out of the Escrow Account to Seller and Buyer (or their respective designees), respectively, under circumstances described therein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Buyer and the Seller Group hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their agent to hold in escrow, and to administer the disposition of, the Escrow Amount (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent accepts such appointment.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Escrow Agent an amount equal to $$30,498,134.31 in cash for deposit into the Escrow Account, and such amount, together with any interest, income or other proceeds earned thereon from and after the date on which such funds have been deposited in the Escrow Account, are collectively referred to herein as the “Escrow Amount”.

(b) The Escrow Amount contemplated by this Section 2 shall be delivered by Buyer to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds in United States dollars to the Escrow Account. The Escrow Amount shall be held, administered and disposed of by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

(a) The Escrow Amount, including earnings thereon, shall be invested in a Bank of America Institutional Deposit Account as described on Schedule 1 hereto. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible to any party hereto or to any other Person for any loss or liability arising in respect of the investment made in accordance with this Section 3 except in the case of the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence. The Escrow Agent shall furnish, until otherwise instructed in writing by Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, monthly reports to Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, showing the monthly activity, including the amount of interest that has been earned and paid on the Escrow Amount since the Closing.

(b) Seller shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Amount for all income tax purposes, until distributed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and all interest and other income earned on the Escrow Amount (the “Escrow Income”) shall be allocated to Seller for all federal, state, local and foreign tax reporting purposes as income earned from the Escrow Account whether or not said income has been distributed during such year. The Escrow Agent shall timely report all Escrow Income allocated to Seller for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to this Section 3(b) to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form in accordance with applicable legal requirements). For the avoidance of doubt, the allocations in this Section 3(b) are for federal, state, local and foreign tax reporting purposes only, and any interest, income or other proceeds earned on Buyer’s initial deposit into the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2(a) as part of the Escrow Amount shall be released as part of the Escrow Amount in accordance with terms of Section 4.

(a) Upon receipt of a notice (a “Claim Expiration Notice”) executed by an Authorized Representative of Buyer (i) instructing the Escrow Agent to release funds from the Escrow Account to Buyer or another Buyer Indemnified Person; (ii) specifying the applicable Officer’s Claim Certificate previously delivered by Buyer to which such Claim Expiration Notice relates (the “Relevant Claim Certificate”) and (iii) certifying that: (A) the Relevant Claim Certificate was delivered by Buyer to Seller and the Escrow Agent pursuant to, and in accordance with, Sections 8.4, 8.9(a) and 8.9(b) of the Stock Purchase Agreement; (B) the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by Seller of the Relevant Claim Certificate has expired

without delivery of a Claim Dispute Notice to Buyer and the Escrow Agent pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 8.9(c) of the Stock Purchase Agreement; (C) the amount of funds to be released as specified in such Claim Expiration Notice is equal to or less than the amount specified in the Relevant Claim Certificate; and (D) Buyer is entitled to so instruct the Escrow Agent and to recover such funds specified in such Claim Expiration Notice from the Escrow Account pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 8.9(c) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Claim Expiration Notice) deliver to Buyer from the Escrow Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount of cash equal to the amount of funds specified to be released from the Escrow Account as set forth in such Claim Expiration Notice. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon such Claim Expiration Notice delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder in determining whether the amount specified in the Claim Expiration Notice shall be paid out of the Escrow Amount. Buyer and the Seller Group members recognize and agree that Escrow Agent is not responsible for any calculations contemplated under this Agreement.

(b) Upon receipt of (i) a joint written instruction signed by an Authorized Representative of each of Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group (a “Joint Direction”), with respect to the Escrow Amount or a portion thereof directing delivery of such Escrow Amount or (ii) a final, nonappealable order, decision or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction, or a final, nonappealable Award (as defined below) stating that such order, decision or ruling is the final, nonappealable order, decision or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, with respect to the Escrow Amount or a portion thereof directing delivery of such Escrow Amount (collectively, a “Final Determination”), the Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Amount specified in such Joint Direction or Final Determination from the Escrow Account specified in such Joint Direction or Final Determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to each of the Persons specified in the Joint Direction or Final Determination, as applicable, to be released to such Person or their respective designee’s accounts as specified therein. The Escrow Agent will act upon the Joint Direction or Final Determination, as applicable, on the Business Day such Joint Direction or Final Determination, as applicable, is received; provided, that the Joint Direction or Final Determination, as applicable, is communicated within a sufficient amount of time to allow the Escrow Agent to make the specified distributions (the “Distribution Cutoff Deadline”). If the Escrow Agent receives the Joint Direction or Final Determination, as applicable, after the Distribution Cutoff Deadline, such Joint Direction or Final Determination will be treated as being received by the Escrow Agent on the next Business Day, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from the inability to distribute the appropriate Escrow Amount on the day the Joint Direction or Final Determination, as applicable, is received. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Joint Direction and/or Final Determination delivered to the Escrow Agent hereunder in determining whether the amount specified in the Joint Direction or Final Determination, as applicable, shall be paid out of the Escrow Amount. Buyer and the Seller Group members recognize and agree that Escrow Agent is not responsible for any calculations contemplated under this Agreement.

(c) All instructions, including any instructions setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Amount, must be in writing, executed by Buyer and/or Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, as evidenced by the signatures of the Person or persons signing this Agreement or one of their designated persons as set forth in Schedule 2 (each an “Authorized Representative”), and delivered to the Escrow Agent only by confirmed facsimile on a Business Day only at the fax number set forth in Section 8 below. No instruction for or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Amount shall be deemed delivered and effective unless the Escrow Agent actually shall have received it on a Business Day by facsimile at the fax number set forth in Section 8 and as evidenced by a confirmed transmittal to the Party’s or Parties’ transmitting fax number and the Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as may be required hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to Buyer, the Seller Group members or any other Person for refraining from acting upon any instruction for or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Amount if delivered to any other fax number. Buyer and the Seller Group members acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is authorized to use the following funds transfer instructions to disburse any funds due to Buyer and/or Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, respectively, without a verifying call-back as set forth in Section 4(d) below:

(d) In the event any other funds transfer instructions are set forth in a permitted instruction from Buyer and/or Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, in accordance with Section 4(a) or Section 4(b), the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such funds transfer instructions by telephone call-back to one of the Authorized Representatives, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be that Authorized Representative. The persons and telephone numbers designated for call-backs may be changed only in a writing executed by an Authorized Representative of the applicable Party and actually received by the Escrow Agent via facsimile. Except as set forth in Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) above, no funds will be disbursed until an Authorized Representative is able to confirm such instructions by telephone callback. The Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Buyer and/or Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, and confirmed by an Authorized Representative of the Party providing such account numbers or similar identifying numbers.

Section 5. Withholding Taxes. In the absence of proper tax documentation, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to withhold taxes on payments from the Escrow Account or any portion of the respective Escrow Amount to the extent required by applicable Law. The Parties acknowledge that payment of any Escrow Income, or the distribution of any other amounts from the Escrow Account, may be subject to withholding (including backup withholding) unless a properly completed IRS Form W-8 or W-9 is submitted to the Escrow Agent by Seller, the other Persons entitled to receive such payment, and/or any signatory to this Agreement.

Section 6. The Escrow Agent. To induce the Escrow Agent to act hereunder, it is further agreed by Buyer and the Seller Group that:

(a) This Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with the provisions of any agreement, including but not limited to the Stock Purchase Agreement (each, an “Underlying Agreement”) except as provided in this Agreement, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of any Underlying Agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only to perform the duties described in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any conduct or default of any other bank in which the Escrow Amount is deposited. The Escrow Agent may rely on any instrument or signature delivered pursuant to this Agreement and reasonably believed in good faith by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by an Authorized Representative of the proper Party or Parties duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or error of judgment or for any action suffered or omitted to be taken by it of any kind unless caused by the bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence of the Escrow Agent. In the event of any dispute or question as to the duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, at the Escrow Agent’s option, without liability to any Person having any claim to the Escrow Amount (or any portion thereof), to refuse to perform any act other than to retain the Escrow Amount (or any portion thereof) until the Escrow Agent shall have received (i) a Final Determination directing delivery of the Escrow Amount (or any portion thereof), (ii) a Joint Direction directing delivery of the Escrow Amount (or any portion thereof) or (iii) a Claim Expiration Notice directing delivery of the Escrow Amount (or any portion thereof). Any order, judgment or decree presented to the Escrow Agent as the basis for a disbursement of amounts held in the Escrow Account shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by the Party requesting the disbursement to the effect that such order, judgment or decree is a Final Determination, upon which certificate the Escrow Agent shall conclusively rely. The Escrow Agent shall not consider any order, judgment or decree to constitute a Final Determination unless accompanied by such a certificate. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall any Party be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if such Party has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(c) The Escrow Agent is not a party to, and is not bound by or charged with notice of, the Stock Purchase Agreement or any other agreement out of which this Agreement may arise.

(d) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely in good faith upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder and reasonably believed in good faith by the Escrow Agent to be genuine without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof. The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature

reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to Buyer, the Seller Group members or any beneficiary or other Person for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Account or any portion thereof, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3 above and the Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as may be required thereunder. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request.

(e) The Escrow Agent may at its sole cost and expense consult with and act pursuant to the advice of counsel with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement.

(f) The Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrow Amount but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession thereof. It is understood that the Escrow Agent shall be responsible for income reporting only with respect to income earned on investment of each Escrow Amount and is not responsible for any other reporting. This Section 6(f) shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the resignation of the Escrow Agent.

(g) The Escrow Agent (and any successor escrow agent) may at any time resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving sixty (60) days advance notice in writing of such resignation to Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect and by delivering the Escrow Amount to any successor escrow agent jointly designated by Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, in writing or to any court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Agreement. The resignation of the Escrow Agent will take effect on the earlier to occur of: (i) the date of the appointment of a successor escrow agent (including a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) the date which is sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of its written notice of resignation to Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group (the “Resignation Date”). The resignation of the Escrow Agent and the appointment of a successor escrow agent shall be effectuated by an instrument in writing executed by the Escrow Agent, the successor escrow agent, Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, which shall vest the successor escrow agent with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the Escrow Agent as if originally named as escrow agent. Upon delivery of such instrument, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement. If at the Resignation Date the Escrow Agent has not received a designation of a successor escrow agent after such thirty-day notice period, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, or appoint a successor escrow agent of its own choice and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon Buyer and each Seller Group member, the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after the Resignation Date shall be to safe keep the Escrow Amount until receipt of a designation of successor escrow agent or a Joint Direction or in accordance with the directions of a Final Determination, at which time of delivery the Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 11.

(h) Any entity into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity to which all or substantially all the escrow business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.

(i) In the event of any disagreement between or among Buyer and the Seller Group members resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the Escrow Amount, or in the event that the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to retain the portion of the Escrow Amount that is the subject of such adverse claim or demand until the Escrow Agent shall have received a Final Determination or Joint Direction directing delivery of such portion of the Escrow Amount, in which event the Escrow Agent shall disburse such portion of the Escrow Amount in accordance with such Final Determination or Joint Direction. The Escrow Agent shall act on such Final Determination or Joint Direction with respect to such portion of the Escrow Amount without further question or inquiry. Furthermore, and, without limitation, if the Escrow Agent receives a demand from Buyer or any member of the Seller Group or the legal counsel of any such Party with respect to the Escrow Amount and is advised by legal counsel that complying with such demand will expose Escrow Agent to liability or litigation, the Escrow Agent, at its option, file an action of interpleader at the sole cost and expense of the Escrow Agent requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves.

(j) The compensation of the Escrow Agent for the services to be rendered by the Escrow Agent hereunder, as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto shall be paid 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, upon execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, together with, to the extent not included by the compensation set forth on Exhibit A, reimbursement for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement, including those levied by any governmental authority which the Escrow Agent may impose, charge or pass through in performance of its duties hereunder (including reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of its outside legal counsel in connection therewith).

(k) No Party hereto (or any Person on such Party’s behalf) shall issue any prospectuses, press releases, public reports, promotional material, or other similar materials, which mention in any language the name or the rights, powers or duties of the other Parties hereto unless the other Parties hereto mentioned therein shall first have given its specific written consent thereto.

(l) Buyer and the Seller Group hereby authorize the Escrow Agent, for any securities held hereunder, to use the services of any United States central securities depository it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the Depositary Trust Company and the Federal Reserve Book Entry System.

(m) Buyer and Seller, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Seller Group, each hereby agrees on a joint and several basis to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its Affiliates and their respective successors, directors, officers, employees and agents (“Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, penalties, judgments, litigation (including, without limitation, the reasonable, documented and out-of-

pocket fees and expenses of outside legal counsel), expenses, obligations and liabilities (collectively “Losses”) of every kind and nature which the Escrow Agent, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, may incur, sustain or be required to pay in connection with or arising out of (i) the Escrow Agent’s execution and good faith performance of this Agreement, tax reporting or withholding, the enforcement of any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement, or as may arise by reason of any good faith act, omission or error of the Indemnities, except in the case of any Indemnitee to the extent that such Losses have been caused by the bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence of such Indemnitee, or (ii) its good faith following of any instructions or directions, whether joint or singular, from Buyer and/or Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, that the Escrow Agent reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine, except to the extent that its following any such instruction or direction is expressly forbidden by the terms hereof. Solely as between Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, it is agreed that each shall severally and not jointly be responsible to pay contribution to each other such that Buyer and Seller shall be responsible respectively for 50% of such payment obligations; provided, that if the actions of either such Party are the cause of any Losses of any Indemnitee resulting in such payment obligations, such Party shall be responsible for 100% of such payment obligations. The Escrow Agent shall be paid on demand the amount of all such reasonable and documented costs, damages, judgments, attorneys’ fees, expenses, obligations and liabilities (subject to the Escrow Agent’s agreement to repay any such amounts against which it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified). The reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of enforcing this right of indemnification also shall be borne jointly and severally by each of Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group (as between each other each of Buyer and Seller agreeing to be responsible for 50% of such costs and expenses; provided, that if the actions of either such Party are the cause of any Losses of any Indemnitee resulting in such costs and expenses, such Party shall be responsible for 100% of such costs and expenses). The foregoing indemnities in this paragraph shall survive the resignation or substitution of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will any Party be liable for or otherwise be obligated to indemnify for any lost profits or other indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages which the parties may incur or experience by reason of having entered into or relied on this Agreement or arising out of or in connection with such Party’s duties hereunder.

Section 7. Stock Purchase Agreement. Solely as among Buyer and the members of the Seller Group, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement shall govern.

Section 8. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and, except for communications from Buyer and/or Seller, on behalf of the Seller Group, setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to or in any way related to the transfer or distribution of funds, including but not limited to funds transfer instructions (all of which shall be specifically governed by Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) above), shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when sent by facsimile (with facsimile confirmation of transmission) or (c) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address

or facsimile number as a Party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this provision):

For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which the Escrow Agent located at the notice address set forth above is authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

Section 9. Waivers; Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented or changed, in each case, by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by all Parties hereto.

3.4 Data Usage. To the extent applicable, Service Provider hereby agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of Schedule F (Data Usage and Protection) that are not more onerous than Buyer’s own privacy policies as of the Effective Date. The purpose of Schedule F (Data Usage and Protection) is to establish conditions in the event that any Service Provider is engaged in the collection, use, retention, and disclosure of Personal Data (as such term is defined in Schedule F) from Buyer or BuyerSub that is related to Buyer’s or BuyerSub’s employees, customers, prospective customers, online visitors and business partners. Service Provider and all of its applicable personnel, wherever located in the world, engaged in operations, activities and functions which collect, retain, use, receive, or distribute Buyer’s or BuyerSub’s Personal Data shall adhere to Schedule F. Personal Data may not be added to any database of Service Provider unless it is collected in accordance with Schedule F.

3.5 Cooperation. Each Service Recipient shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Service Provider and its Affiliates and Approved Subcontractors in order to facilitate the provision of the Services. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Service Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to follow the policies, procedures and practices in place at the Service Provider from time to time, including (x) making available any information and documentation reasonably necessary to enable the Service Provider and its Affiliates and Approved Subcontractors to perform the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (y) making available sufficient resources and ensuring timely decisions, approvals and acceptances and otherwise taking all reasonable actions such that the Service Provider and its Affiliates and Approved Subcontractors may perform the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including any applicable Schedule), for the applicable Transition Periods, each Service Provider shall provide (or cause to be provided) to the Service Recipient reasonable access, during regular business hours and at such other times as reasonably requested, to the applicable facilities of such Service Provider identified in the Schedules (each, a “Service Provider Facility”).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including any applicable Schedule), for the applicable Transition Periods, Service Recipient shall permit (and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to permit) the Service Provider and its Affiliates and Approved Subcontractors reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, (i) to the premises of Service Recipient and such Affiliates (each, a “Service Recipient Facilities”) and; (ii) to such data, records and personnel designated by the Service

Recipient as involved in receiving or overseeing the Services as the Service Provider and its Affiliates and Approved Subcontractors may reasonably request solely for the purposes of providing the Services to the Service Recipient; provided, however, that such access under (ii) shall be subject to any restrictions on disclosure or use arising from any legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation of the Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates or Approved Subcontractors.

3.7 General Transition Assistance. As part of the Services, each Service Provider and Service Recipient will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, provide such consultation, assistance, and information as reasonably requested in order to facilitate the orderly transfer of responsibility for the Services from the Service Provider to the Service Recipient or one or more of its Affiliates. During the term of this Agreement, each Service Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assume the responsibility for the Services provided by the Service Providers as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the expiration of the applicable Transition Periods for the Services. All data and reports supplied to Buyer or BuyerSub pursuant to any of the Services shall be provided in such format as reasonably requested by Buyer or BuyerSub, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Service Provider or any of its Affiliates be obligated to deliver, or cause to be delivered, any data or other information that is both proprietary to the Service Provider or any of its Affiliates and of a type and nature that was not provided to the Sold Companies prior to the date hereof or reasonably expected to be privileged or subject to any restrictions on disclosure or use arising from any legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation of the Service Provider or any of its Affiliates.

3.8 Additional Services. If Buyer (on behalf of itself or BuyerSub) reasonably requests that the SMART Parties perform any additional service not included within the scope of the Services, which scope shall extend to the tasks identified on the relevant Schedule whether or not all steps required to perform such tasks have been specified, and such service was provided by the SMART Parties or their Affiliates (including any member of the Seller Group (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) to the Sold Companies during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date hereof, or, if the SMART Parties request that the Sold Companies perform any additional service not included within the scope of the Services, which scope shall extend to the tasks identified on the relevant Schedule whether or not all steps required to perform such tasks have been specified, and such service was provided by the Sold Companies to the Legacy Defense Business during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date hereof (any of the foregoing services, an “Additional Service”), the Parties will promptly negotiate in good faith to add such Additional Service as a new Schedule hereunder (or as an addition to an existing Schedule) on the same terms and conditions as are set forth in this Agreement, with the fees for such Additional Service to be determined on a basis consistent with the methodology used by the parties hereto in determining the fees set forth in the Schedules, and all references to Services herein shall be deemed to include such Additional Services.

3.9 Third Party Licensors and Vendors. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Service Provider shall be obligated to provide any Services (including any access to any of the Service Provider Facilities) for which consent from a third party licensor or vendor is required until such consent has been obtained in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Parties or a reasonable alternative arrangement acceptable to the Parties has been obtained. Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such third party licensor or vendor consent or find a reasonable alternative arrangement. If the

Service Provider can demonstrate to the Service Recipient that any fees, costs and expenses associated with the foregoing were not included in the Fees being paid by the Service Recipient, then the Service Provider may request compensation for the direct, reasonable, out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses associated with the foregoing by the applicable Service Recipient and the parties will negotiate in good faith to increase the Fees accordingly. No Party shall enter into any new agreement after the date of this Agreement or amend or terminate any agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement, in each case, such that the agreement would require any such consent from a third party licensor or vendor to provide any Services (including any access to any Service Provider Facilities). The Service Recipient shall comply with any applicable terms and conditions that have been disclosed in writing to the Service Recipient and are reasonably imposed by third party licensors or vendors in relation to the Services (including any access to any of the Service Provider Facilities). Service Recipient shall not unreasonably do or omit to do anything which such Service Recipient knows or reasonably should know may cause any third party licensor or vendor to refuse to grant or to terminate or revoke any licensor or vendor consent in relation to the Services (including access to any of the Service Provider Facilities) to be received by the Service Recipient, unless Service Recipient has notified the Service Provider thereof that it is terminating such Service in compliance with Section 10.2.

3.10 Force Majeure. The obligations of any Service Provider to provide Services, shall be suspended during any period in which and to the extent that a Service Provider is prevented or hindered from complying therewith by any Law or Order, or by acts of god, natural disasters or other weather conditions, civil disturbances, labor disputes or strikes, accidents, acts of terrorism and acts of war or conditions arising out of or attributable to war (whether declared or undeclared) and any similar matters outside the reasonable control of the Service Provider and its Affiliates (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). The Service Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cure the Force Majeure Event as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances. Until the Force Majeure Event has been cured and Service has been restored to the levels required in the Schedules, the Service Recipient, in its sole discretion, may opt to pro-rate the fees to account for the period of time during which a degraded level of Service was provided. In such event, the Service Provider experiencing the Force Majeure Event shall give notice of suspension as soon as reasonably practicable to the Service Recipient for the applicable Service stating the date and extent of such suspension and the cause thereof, and the Service Provider shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable following cessation of the Force Majeure Event. During any period of any such suspension, the Service Provider shall consult with such Service Recipient regarding the status of the Force Majeure Event. Until the Force Majeure Event has been cured and Service has been restored to the levels required in the Schedules, the Service Recipient, in its sole discretion, may opt to pro-rate the fees to account for the period of time during which a degraded level of Service was provided. The Parties acknowledge and agree that a Service Provider shall not be required to provide, or cause to be provided, Services beyond the applicable Transition Periods for the Services due to any suspension of Services related to a Force Majeure Event.

4.1 SMART Manager. The SMART Parties will appoint and maintain during the term of the Agreement an employee reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the “SMART Manager”) to have overall responsibility during the term of this Agreement for managing and coordinating the delivery and receipt of Services by the SMART Parties and one employee for each category of Services. The SMART Manager and each of the sub-managers will coordinate and consult with the Buyer Manager (as defined in Section 4.2) and the applicable Buyer sub-managers with respect to the Services. The SMART Parties may, at its discretion, designate other individuals to serve in these capacities during the term of this Agreement.

4.2 Buyer Manager. Buyer will appoint and maintain during the term of the Agreement an employee reasonably acceptable to the SMART Parties (the “Buyer Manager”) to have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery and receipt of Services by the Sold Companies and one of its employees for each category of service. The Buyer Manager and each of the Buyer sub-managers will coordinate and consult with the SMART Manager and each of the applicable SMART Party sub-managers with respect to the Services.

(a) Without limiting any Party’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement, if a Service Recipient believes in good faith that a Service Provider has failed to perform its obligations with respect to a particular Service, the applicable Manager will notify in writing the other Manager and upon receipt of such notice, the Managers will promptly discuss, in person or by telephone, the extent (if at all) that the applicable Service Provider agrees such a failure has occurred and, if such a failure has occurred, a corrective action plan with respect to such failure and, as part of such discussions, attempt in good faith to reach an agreement with respect to such issues, including a mutually acceptable corrective action plan (if necessary). If and to the extent the Managers cannot agree upon such issues (including any necessary corrective action plan) within five (5) days of the original notice date, such issues will be escalated in accordance with Section 4.3(b) below.

(b) If any issue is not resolved in accordance with Section 4.3(a) above, either the Buyer Manager or the Service Provider Manager may elevate such issue by written notice to senior management of Buyer and the SMART Parties. For Buyer, escalation will be made to Judy Bruner (or such other member of senior management of Buyer that Buyer shall specify in writing to the SMART Parties from time to time). For the SMART Parties, escalation will be made to Jack Pacheco (or such other member of senior management of the SMART Parties that the SMART Parties shall specify in writing to Buyer from time to time). Such respective senior management representatives will promptly discuss the issue in person or by telephone and the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the issue for a period of five (5) days. If the issue is not resolved, as agreed by the Parties, within such five (5) day period, either of such management representatives may escalate such issue by written notice to the chief executive officers of the Parties.

(c) For clarity, the escalation process above does not apply to a Service Recipient written notification to Service Provider with respect to Service Provider Personnel in accordance with Section 3.2.

5.1 Fees. Each Service Recipient agrees to pay the applicable Service Provider the fees for the Services set forth in each Schedule (the “Fees”). Subject to Section 6, Service Recipient will not be required to pay any amounts to Service Provider in connection with the Services other than the Fees set forth on the Schedules and the Expenses. Throughout the term of this Agreement, each Party shall use reasonable efforts to identify cost savings in providing the Services that have not terminated (or for which no notice of termination has been provided) and, if such cost savings are identified, negotiate in good faith with respect to commercially reasonable steps to reduce the Fees accordingly. All other reasonable pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable pre-approved travel expenses) that arise directly out of the provision of the Services and are incurred by any Service Provider (collectively, the “Expenses”) will be reimbursed by the applicable Service Recipients. The Service Recipients also agree to reimburse the applicable Service Providers for any other pre-approved expenses specified on any Schedule hereto.

5.2 Invoicing and Payment. Unless otherwise specified on a Schedule, Service Provider will invoice the applicable Service Recipient monthly at the end of each month for the Fees due under this Agreement from such Service Recipient for that month. Such invoices will clearly specify amounts due for each of the Services. Each such invoice will be accompanied by such supporting documentation and vouchers as the Service Recipient may reasonably require. The Service Recipient will pay the amounts on each invoice within fifteen (15) days after Service Recipient’s receipt of the invoice. Service Recipient will be responsible for value added tax, sales, services and any similar non-income taxes applicable to the fees paid by Service Recipient to Service Provider hereunder. If Service Recipient is required by law to withhold any tax from its payment of fees hereunder, Service Recipient may withhold such amounts and will provide documentation showing that the amount withheld was paid to the appropriate tax authorities; provided, however, that prior to withholding any amounts hereunder, Service Recipient will provide Service Provider notice of the amounts subject to withholding and a reasonably opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would reduce or eliminate such withholding.

6.1 Warranty. Service Provider represents and warrants to Service Recipient that (i) Service Provider will act in good faith to assign Service Provider personnel of appropriate skills and background to perform the Services for Service Recipient and in no event of lesser skills and background than personnel who perform comparable services for Service Provider, (ii) unless otherwise provided in the Schedules, Service Provider will provide (and cause its Affiliates and Approved Subcontractors to provide) the Services with at least the same level of skill, quality, and timeliness as the Services were performed for the Sold Companies or the Legacy Defense Business, as applicable, during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the Closing Date, and in any event, if Service Provider provides a similar Service for itself and its Affiliates, in a manner consistent with the manner in which it provides such Service to itself and such Affiliates, (iii) the Services and related deliverables shall comply with the Schedules, (iv) the performance of the Services and any related deliverables provided to Service Recipient under this Agreement do not infringe upon or violate any intellectual property right, patent, mask work rights, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other proprietary right of any third party and (v) all deliverables created or provided by Service Provider for Service Recipient pursuant to this Agreement shall include all authorizations, licenses, permissions and other usage rights necessary for Service Recipient’s intended use as outlined in any applicable Schedule under this Agreement.

6.2 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, AND SERVICE PROVIDER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SERVICES OR ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OR ASSETS USED TO PROVIDE SUCH SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, AND ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

(a) Each SMART Party shall indemnify Buyer, BuyerSub, the Sold Companies and their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, and employees and agents (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) and hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, obligations or out-of-pocket costs or expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees (“Losses”), arising out of or resulting from any SMART Party’s (x) breach of this Agreement or (y) its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Services. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to the extent that a claim is subject to indemnification by Buyer, BuyerSub and the Sold Companies pursuant to Section 6.3(b) below or pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Losses arose as a result of any Buyer Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or, if and to the extent, such Losses were, directly or indirectly, caused in whole or in part by any actions or omissions of the Buyer, BuyerSub or any of their Affiliates.

(b) Buyer, BuyerSub and each of the Sold Companies shall indemnify each of the SMART Parties, their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, and employees and agents (each, a “SMART Indemnified Party”) and hold them harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from Buyer’s, BuyerSub’s or any Sold Company’s (x) breach of this Agreement or (y) its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to the extent that a claim is subject to indemnification by a SMART Party pursuant to Section 6.3(a) above or pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Losses arose as a result of any SMART Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or, if and to the extent, such Losses were, directly or indirectly, caused in whole or in part by any actions or omissions of the SMART Parties or any of their Affiliates.

(c) If the Buyer Indemnified Party or the SMART Party Indemnified Party (as applicable, the “Indemnified Party”) shall receive notice of any action, demand or assessment made by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or its Affiliates against it which may give rise to a claim for Losses under this Section 6.3 (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), such

Indemnified Party shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) days after receipt of such notice) give written notice of such Third-Party Claim to the applicable Party subject such claim for Losses (the “Indemnifying Party”), stating in reasonable detail the nature and basis of the Third-Party Claim and, to the extent known, the amount thereof along with copies of the relevant documents received by the Indemnified Party evidencing the Third-Party Claim and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within thirty (30) days after receipt of the particular notice from the Indemnified Party. At its own expense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to hire counsel with respect to the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party all relevant books and records of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates relating to such Third Party Claim, and shall render, at its own expense, such assistance as reasonably may be requested to ensure a proper and adequate defense. The Indemnifying Party will have sole control of the defense and settlement of any Third Party Claims for which it assumes the defense hereunder, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of such Third Party Claim without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement (A) is on exclusively monetary terms with such monetary amounts paid by the Indemnifying Party concurrently with the effectiveness of the settlement, (B) does not involve any finding or admission of violation of law or admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and (C) provides a complete and unconditional release of, or dismissal with prejudice of, all known or unknown claims against any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim for all matters asserted in connection with such Third Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party refuses or does not agree to timely assume control of the defense and settlement of any Third Party Claim for which it has an indemnity obligation hereunder, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to defend such Third Party Claim and obtain reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party for all Losses, including but not limited to, reasonable costs and expense and attorneys’ fees. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except with respect to breaches of confidentiality obligations, and Losses arising from failure to comply with applicable laws, willful misconduct, fraud, personal injury or death, the maximum aggregate liability of any Service Provider, with respect to the Service provided pursuant to this Agreement (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the greater of three million dollars ($3,000,000) or one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fees actually paid to the Service Providers, taken together, for all of the Services pursuant to this Agreement. Except in the case of any Third-Party Claim in which an Indemnified Party pays such an amount to a third party in respect of a Third-Party Claim, and except with respect to breaches of confidentiality obligations, and Losses arising from failure to comply with applicable laws, willful misconduct, fraud, personal injury or death, no party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, consequential, special or indirect

damages, including loss of future revenue or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement. Subject to the aggregate limits and exclusions set forth above, a Service Provider shall not be liable for a breach of this Agreement (other than with respect to Section 5) if the Losses resulting from such breach are less than $50,000

(e) With respect to the Services, the remedies set forth in this Section 6.3 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for damages and shall be in lieu of any other remedies for damages that may be available to the Indemnified Parties under any other agreement or pursuant to any law with respect to any Losses of any kind or nature incurred directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out of this Agreement.

7.1 Confidential Information. Service Providers or Service Recipients (each, as applicable, a “Receiving Party”) will maintain in confidence in accordance with this Section 7 all Confidential Information disclosed to it by other Service Providers or Service Recipients, (as applicable, a “Disclosing Party”), in connection with the provision and receipt of Services pursuant to this Agreement. Each Receiving Party agrees to (a) disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to its Affiliates and their respective employees, directors, officers, customers, contractors, consultants, agents or subcontractors (each, a “Representative”) who need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of the provision or receipt of Services pursuant to this Agreement, (b) instruct its Representatives to whom such disclosure is to be made to hold such Confidential Information in confidence in accordance with this Section 7 and not make use of such Confidential Information for any purpose other than those permitted by this Agreement and (c) be liable for any failure of its Representatives to whom such disclosure is to be made to hold in confidence such Confidential Information in accordance with this Section 7 or to not make use of such Confidential Information for any purpose other than those permitted by this Agreement. The Receiving Party agrees to use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature to ensure that its Representatives do not disclose or make any such Confidential Information in a manner not authorized by this Section 7, but in no event less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon its discovery of any use or disclosure of the Confidential Information by it or its Representatives not authorized by this Section 7. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all technical and non-technical information one party provides the other hereunder that is either indicated to be proprietary or confidential information of the disclosing party or which by its nature the Receiving Party would reasonably deem such information to be confidential or proprietary, regardless of marking, including trade secret, know-how and proprietary information, firmware, mask works, designs, schematics, techniques, software code, technical documentation, plans or any other information relating to any research project, work in process, future development, scientific, engineering, manufacturing, marketing or business plan or financial or personnel matter relating to the disclosing party, its present or future products, its sales, suppliers, customers, employees, investors or business, whether in written, oral, graphic or electronic form (for the avoidance of doubt, including, without limitation, the books and records made available pursuant to Section 8).

7.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Confidential Information” does not include, and the restrictions of this Section 7 shall not apply to, information that: (i) was obtained by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives from a third party free to disclose it to the Disclosing Party or such Representative without restrictions on use or disclosure; (ii) is or becomes publicly known, through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party or its Representatives; (iii) the Receiving Party or its Representatives can demonstrate was developed independently by such Party or Representatives without reference to or reliance on proprietary or Confidential Information received hereunder; or (iv) is lawfully required to be disclosed to any governmental agency or is otherwise required to be disclosed by law; provided that, except to the extent not otherwise permitted by such governmental agency or law, before making such disclosure, the Receiving Party shall give the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to interpose an objection and/or take action to ensure confidential handling of such Confidential Information (which expense shall be borne by the Disclosing Party).

8.1 Records. Service Provider will maintain (and, as applicable, cause its Affiliates to maintain) accurate and complete records regarding its activities relating to this Agreement and the means of calculating the amounts billed to any Service Recipient hereunder. Such books and records will, at all times, be kept in a manner consistent with Service Provider’s practices prior to the Closing and, in any event, in accordance with good administrative practice and generally accepted accounting principles. Service Provider will retain (and, as applicable, cause its Affiliates to retain) all such records until at least two (2) years after any termination or expiration of this Agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.

8.2 Audit. At any time prior to the 2-year anniversary of the termination of this Agreement, upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Service Provider, Service Recipient will have the right to inspect and audit all the relevant records and books of account of Service Provider and its Affiliates to verify the accuracy of all payments made or to be made by Service Recipient connection with this Agreement and Service Provider’s compliance with this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) such right to such access may only be exercised once per fiscal quarter of the Service Provider and (b) Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, provide Service Recipient such access only by a mutually acceptable nationally recognized accounting firm, at Service Recipient’s cost and expense (except as otherwise set forth below). Any audit by Service Recipient or such accounting firm will be conducted during regular business hours at the Service Provider Facilities, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business activities of Service Provider or its Affiliates. If any audit reveals an overpayment by Service Recipient, Service Provider will promptly refund any overpayment. In addition, if any audit reveals an overpayment by Service Recipient exceeding five percent (5%) during the audited period, Service Provider will reimburse Service Recipient for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of conducting the audit.

8.3 Data. Upon a Party’s request from time to time, with respect to any particular data in another Party’s (or its Affiliates’) possession or control that is not already in the possession or control of such Party or its Affiliates, the Party possessing such data will promptly provide a copy of all such data to the requesting Party in the format maintained by such Party in the ordinary course of business (or another mutually-agreed format, if reasonably requested by a

Party, the cost of any format changes to be borne solely by the requesting Party). Upon any Party’s request, the Party in possession or control of such data, shall destroy (and, as applicable, cause its Affiliates to destroy) all copies of such data, to the extent it is not needed for such Persons to perform Services, subject to Law and bona fide internal document retention and compliance policies designed to comply with Law.

SANDISK CORPORATION

By:
	Name:	Judy Bruner
	Title:	Executive Vice President, Administration and CFO

We are pleased to extend you an offer of employment with SanDisk Corporation (“SanDisk” or the “Company”), contingent upon and effective at the closing of the transactions (collectively, the “Acquisition”) contemplated by that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, SMART Storage Systems (Global Holdings), Inc. (“SMART Storage”) and certain other parties. This offer letter agreement (“Offer Letter”) embodies the terms of our offer. Your acceptance of this Offer Letter is a material inducement and condition to the Company’s execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement. If all of the contingencies of this offer of employment are satisfied then, on the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing Date”), you will become an employee of the Company or, if the Company elects to operate the acquired businesses as one or more subsidiaries, an employee of the applicable subsidiary (whichever case applies, the “Company”) on the following terms. In the event that the Acquisition is not consummated, this Offer Letter and all attachments will automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Offer Letter shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

Your title will be [ ] reporting to [ ]. Your starting base compensation will be $[ ] on an annual basis, paid bi-weekly and subject to applicable tax withholding. You shall devote your full efforts and energies to performing all services and acts necessary or advisable to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of your position, and you shall render such services on the terms set forth herein; provided, however, the Company may in its sole discretion change your job title, duties and responsibilities. By signing this Offer Letter, you confirm with the Company that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from accepting this offer of employment or performing your duties with the Company.

On the Closing Date, your vested options (after giving effect to the acceleration described in the preceding paragraph) to purchase SMART Storage common stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, payable at such time or times as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Your unvested options to purchase SMART Storage common stock will be assumed by SanDisk and will become exercisable to purchase SanDisk common stock, with the number of shares of common stock and the exercise price adjusted to reflect differing values of SMART Storage and SanDisk common stock. Your assumed options will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the SMART Storage (Global Holdings), Inc. 2011 Share Incentive Plan and the award agreement(s) evidencing such SMART Storage Options (including terms relating to vesting), except that each reference to SMART Storage will be deemed to be a reference to SanDisk and as otherwise amended by this Offer Letter.

Following your commencement of employment with the Company, you will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Bonus Plan (the “Plan”). Your target bonus under the Plan is [ ] of your eligible non-equity based compensation following the Closing Date. Payment of this discretionary bonus will be pro-rated for the year in which the Acquisition closes (calculated from the commencement of your employment with the Company) and is subject to the Company’s performance against profit and other strategic objectives and your individual performance for the Company’s relevant fiscal year, and therefore your actual bonus payout may differ from your bonus target. The Plan replaces any existing SMART Storage bonus plans after the Closing Date, and you will not be eligible to receive any payments from SanDisk under any SMART Storage bonus plans in which you participated prior to the Closing Date. In addition, you must be employed with the Company at the time bonuses are distributed to be eligible to receive any bonus payment under the Plan.

As soon as administratively feasible after you start your employment, SanDisk will recommend to the duly authorized committee of SanDisk’s Board of Directors that you be granted [ ] Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), which represent the right to receive [ ] shares of SanDisk common stock if the applicable vesting requirements are satisfied. RSU shares typically vest 25% per year over four years subject to the satisfaction of the applicable vesting requirements, including without limitation, your continued employment with the Company. Upon approval, specific terms and conditions of the RSU grant will be set forth in a definitive RSU agreement.

Any information contained in this letter that relates to the terms and vesting of an equity award is provided for your convenience only. If you have been provided with an equity award, please refer to your equity award agreement(s), once available, for complete terms and conditions. In the event of a conflict between the information contained in this letter and your equity award agreement(s), the terms contained in your equity award agreement(s) shall prevail.

In addition, as soon as administratively feasible following the date on which your employment with the Company commences, you will be eligible to participate in the Company’s benefits programs available to U.S. employees, including medical, dental, vision, employee assistance, paid time off, life insurance and disability programs, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans or programs. You will also be eligible to participate in SanDisk’s 401(k) Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), subject to the terms and conditions of the respective plans. In order to participate in the ESPP, you must be employed on and enroll by the 15^th business day of the month in February or August to enroll for an applicable six-month time period. The actual date on which you will become eligible to participate in other plans and programs will be determined following the Closing Date.

Upon your commencement of employment with the Company, you will receive full credit for your length of service as an employee of SMART Storage for purposes of paid time off and benefits eligibility under the Company’s benefit plans, subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of the respective plans. This means, for example, with regard to paid time off, your accrual rate at the Company will be determined based on your hire date as an employee with SMART Storage (and not based on the date you become an employee of the Company). Please note that your SMART Storage benefits will continue until you are eligible to enroll and participate in the Company’s benefits.

In addition to the closing of the Acquisition, your employment with the Company is contingent upon the following:

Please understand your employment is “at will,” voluntarily entered into and is for no specific period. As a result, you are free to resign at any time, for any reason or for no reason. Similarly, the Company is free to conclude its at-will employment relationship with you at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. This at-will relationship cannot be altered unless specifically set forth in writing and signed by both you and the CEO of the Company.

In the event that the Acquisition is not consummated, this Offer Letter and all attachments will automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Please indicate acceptance of this offer by emailing a pdf of this entire document with your signature to your immediate manager or to Cheryl Glynn at cheryl.glynn@smartstoragesys.com.

I agree to and accept the enclosed offer of employment with the Company. My start date will be the date of closing of the Acquisition.

This employment relationship is a voluntary one, and you and the Company can terminate this relationship at any time with or without cause and with or without notice.

We are pleased to extend you an offer of employment with SanDisk Corporation (“SanDisk” or the “Company”), contingent upon and effective at the closing of the transactions (collectively, the “Acquisition”) contemplated by that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, SMART Storage Systems (Global Holdings), Inc. (“SMART Storage”) and certain other parties. This offer letter agreement (“Offer Letter”) embodies the terms of our offer. Your acceptance of this Offer Letter is a material inducement and condition to the Company’s execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement. If all of the contingencies of this offer of employment are satisfied then, on the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing Date”), you will become an employee of the Company or, if the Company elects to operate the acquired businesses as one or more subsidiaries, an employee of the applicable subsidiary (whichever case applies, the “Company”) on the following terms. In the event that the Acquisition is not consummated, this Offer Letter and all attachments will automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Offer Letter shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

Immediately prior to the Closing Date, each stock option to purchase ordinary shares of SMART Storage (the “SMART Storage Options”) held by you immediately prior to the Closing Date will be deemed amended, to the extent necessary, to provide that the vesting of such SMART Storage Option shall retroactively be applied at a rate of l/48^th per month from the original vesting commencement date thereof. For example, if you were granted an option to purchase 4,800 SMART Storage shares with a vesting commencement date that was 23 months prior to the Closing Date, then immediately prior to the Closing Date, the option would vest with respect to 2,300 SMART Storage shares and the remaining shares would vest at a rate of 100 shares per month (prior to the adjustments covered in the next paragraph). By accepting this offer of employment with the Company, you acknowledge and agree that, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and except as provided in the preceding sentence, you irrevocably waive any and all known and unknown rights to receive any accelerated vesting of SMART Storage Options, whether in connection with a corporate transaction, a change in control and/or a termination of employment (including,

without limitation, a termination of employment without cause or for good reason, a termination of employment in connection with death or disability, or any involuntary termination of employment), and whether pursuant to the terms of any plan, policy or agreement in which you participate or which you have entered into with SMART Storage prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the applicable stock option agreement, retention incentive letter, employment agreement, offer letter, or other agreement with SMART Storage or any of its affiliate or subsidiaries) (collectively, the “SMART Storage Arrangements”). [For the avoidance of doubt, you shall retain the right to receive accelerated vesting of SMART Storage Options that are assumed by the Company upon certain terminations of your employment during the one year period immediately following the Closing to the extent, and on the terms and conditions, provided in your SMART Storage Arrangements, as amended by this Offer Letter.]¹

On the Closing Date, your vested options (after giving effect to the acceleration described in the preceding paragraph) to purchase SMART Storage common stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, payable at such time or times as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Your unvested options to purchase SMART Storage common stock will be assumed by the Company and will become exercisable to purchase Company common stock, with the number of shares of common stock and the exercise price adjusted to reflect differing values of SMART Storage and Company common stock. Your assumed options will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the SMART Storage (Global Holdings), Inc. 2011 Share Incentive Plan and the award agreement(s) evidencing such SMART Storage Options (including terms relating to vesting), except that each reference to SMART Storage will be deemed to be a reference to the Company and as otherwise amended by this Offer Letter.

As soon as administratively feasible after you start your employment, the Company will recommend to the duly authorized committee of the Company’s Board of Directors that you be granted [ ] Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), which represent the right to receive [ ] shares of the Company’s Common Stock if the applicable vesting requirements are satisfied. RSU shares typically vest 25% per year over four years subject to the satisfaction of the applicable vesting requirements, including without limitation, your continued employment with the Company. Upon approval, specific terms and conditions of the RSU grant will be set forth in a definitive RSU agreement.

¹ Only for employees who have acclerated vesting under current SMART Storage Arrangements.

In addition, as soon as administratively feasible following the date on which your employment with the Company commences, you will be eligible to participate in the Company’s benefits programs available to U.S. employees, including medical, dental, vision, employee assistance, paid time off, life insurance and disability programs, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans or programs. You will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan and in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), subject to the terms and conditions of the respective plans. In order to participate in the ESPP, you must be employed on and enroll by the 15^th business day of the month in February or August to enroll for an applicable six-month time period. The actual date on which you will become eligible to participate in other plans and programs will be determined following the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in your SMART Storage Arrangements, if you are entitled to receive severance payments and/or benefits under any SMART Storage Arrangement prior to the Closing, then during the one (l)-year period immediately following the Closing (the “Post-Closing Period”), you will continue to be eligible to receive the same severance benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment that you would have received prior to the Closing, except as otherwise amended by this paragraph. You hereby agree that the changes to your employment described in this Offer Letter shall not provide grounds for your resignation for “good reason” (or any term of similar effect) and shall not constitute a termination without “cause” (or any term of similar effect) under the terms of the SMART Storage Arrangements. In addition, on and following the Closing Date, a resignation of employment by you shall only constitute “good reason” (or any term of similar effect) under any SMART Storage Arrangement if such resignation is due to (i) a material reduction in your base salary (as set forth in this Offer Letter) or (ii) a relocation of your principal office to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the location of such office as of the Closing Date. Moreover, you further agree that your entitlement to any severance compensation under the SMART Storage Arrangements will expire in accordance with the specified duration following the Closing Date, after which time you may be eligible for severance compensation under the SanDisk Corporation Severance Pay Plan (“SanDisk Severance Plan”) according to the terms of the SanDisk Severance Plan and as so notified by the plan administrator. During the period in which you are entitled to severance compensation under the SMART Storage Arrangements, you will not be eligible to participate in the SanDisk Severance Plan. Effective immediately prior to the Closing Date, the SMART Storage Arrangements will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to reflect this paragraph and to provide that the SMART Storage Arrangements shall terminate automatically upon the expiration of the Post-Closing Period (or, if earlier, upon your termination of employment with the Company).

In addition to the closing of the Acquisition, your employment with the Company is contingent upon the following:

This letter (together with its attachment(s)) is the complete agreement regarding your employment terms, and with the exception of agreements relating to proprietary information and assignment of intellectual property rights, will supersede and replace any prior agreements with respect to or in connection with your employment with SMART Storage and/or the Company (written or verbal) between you and SMART Storage and/or you and the Company, including, without limitation, any agreements which may have provided for equity awards, fringe benefits, severance or other termination benefits that may have existed at any time prior to closing of the Acquisition and you hereby waive your right to any such equity awards, fringe benefits, severance or other termination benefits.

In the event that the Acquisition is not consummated, this Offer Letter and all attachments will automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

We look forward to having you join our team. We think you will find that the Company provides a unique, rewarding work experience.

Please indicate acceptance of this offer by faxing or emailing a .pdf of this form and its attachments with your signature(s) to the attention of Tom Baker at tom.baker@sandisk.com or 408-801-8544.

I agree to and accept the enclosed offer to continue employment with the Company. My start date will be the date of closing of the Acquisition.

This employment relationship is a voluntary one, and you and the Company can terminate this relationship at any time with or without cause and with or without notice.
