(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if such assignment, with or without the consent, approval or waiver of, or notice to, a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention of such Purchased Asset or violation of any Applicable Law or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer (or its designated Affiliate(s)) or Seller (or an Affiliate of Seller) thereunder unless and until any required consent, approval or waiver is obtained. Seller and Buyer shall use their reasonable best efforts (including the dedication of resources thereto, but without any obligation to expend money, commence litigation or offer or grant any financial or other accommodation to any third party) to obtain the consent, approval or waiver of, or provide the required notice to, such third parties to or of the assignment to Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) of any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or otherwise transfer the rights and benefits of any Non-assignable Asset (as defined below) to Buyer or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate, including, in the case of any non-transferable Permits, to cause the applicable Governmental Authority to issue a new Permit to Buyer or its Affiliate in place of such non-transferable Permit and with respect to prime Government Contracts, to obtain all necessary approval and consent of the applicable U.S. federal Governmental Authority to novate such prime Government Contracts in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.12. If such consent, approval or waiver is not obtained, or such notice is not made, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates thereunder so that Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) would not in fact receive all such rights, or if such asset is not transferable under Applicable Law with or without such consent, approval, waiver or notice (any assets so described, the “Non-assignable Assets”), Seller and Buyer will use their commercially reasonable efforts (but without any obligation to expend money, commence litigation or offer or grant any financial or other accommodation to any third party) to enter into a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Buyer would assume the obligations and Seller would provide to Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) the benefits of any Non-assignable Asset, including sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)), and with respect to the prime Government Contracts, entering into and taking commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required approvals or consents of any U.S. federal Governmental Authority to the Subcontract prior to the Closing Date), or under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)), with Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) assuming Seller’s (or such Affiliate’s) obligations under such Non-assignable Asset, any and all rights of Seller or such Affiliate against a third party thereto. In connection with any such arrangement, Buyer shall reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by

Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of any mutually agreeable arrangement or that otherwise would have been incurred by Buyer or its Affiliates had such Non-assignable Asset been assigned, transferred or conveyed as contemplated by this Agreement, including any Liability arising out of Buyer’s failure to perform thereunder (such costs and expenses, the “Alternative Arrangement Costs”). Prior to the amount of the deductible described in clause (B) of Section 11.02(a) being exceeded (whether pursuant to reimbursement under this sentence or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or a combination of the foregoing), Buyer will promptly reimburse Seller for all out-of pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Seller or its Affiliates (other than Alternative Arrangement Costs) relating to or arising from the failure to obtain a consent, approval or waiver for any Non-assignable Assets (such costs and expenses, the “Other Consent Costs”) and any such reimbursement shall be applied toward such deductible. After the amount of such deductible has been exceeded, Buyer will promptly reimburse Seller for 50% of Other Consent Costs. Seller will promptly pay to Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) when received all monies received by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller under any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder, except to the extent the same represents an Excluded Asset.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including anything in the foregoing Section 2.05(a)), with respect to the Transferred Software set forth on Schedule 1.01(a)(v), (i) if requested by Buyer in writing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek the Consent of any third party required to transfer such Transferred Software to Buyer; provided that in no event shall Seller be required to (w) expend money, (x) commence any litigation, (y) offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party in order to obtain such Consent or (z) diminish any rights of the Seller or its Affiliates in the Transferred Software (other than a reduction in the number of seat or user licenses); and (ii) if Seller is unable to obtain any Consent in accordance with clause (i) required to transfer any Transferred Software, Seller shall have no further obligation to Buyer under the Agreement or otherwise with respect to the transfer of such Transferred Software, except as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement. In the event the Transferred Software is transferred to Buyer, Buyer shall be responsible for any obligations with respect to such Transferred Software after the date of such transfer.

Section 2.06. Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) is equal to $675,000,000 in cash. The Purchase Price shall be paid as provided in Section 2.07 and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.08. Seller shall be treated as receiving a portion of the Purchase Price as agent for any of its Affiliates actually selling, transferring or conveying the Purchased Assets, consistent with the allocation of the Purchase Price pursuant to the Allocation Statement, and Buyer’s payment of the Purchase Price to Seller shall constitute payment by Buyer to any of Seller’s Affiliates actually selling, transferring or conveying the Purchased Assets hereunder.

(b) Within 60 days after the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Allocation Statement”) allocating the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities and transaction costs, to the extent properly taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. If, within five Business Days after delivery of the Allocation Statement, Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to the allocation set forth in the Allocation Statement, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within 20 days. In the event that Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute within 20 days, Buyer and Seller shall jointly retain KPMG LLP (the “Accounting Referee”) to resolve the disputed items in the manner described in Section 8.10.

(c) Each of Buyer and Seller shall (i) be bound by the Allocation Statement, as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 2.06(e), (ii) act in accordance with, and cause its Affiliates to act in accordance with, the Allocation Statement in the preparation, filing and audit of any Tax Return (including filing IRS Form 8594 with its federal Income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing) and (iii) take no position, and cause its Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement on any Tax Return, in any Contest or otherwise, unless required by a Final Determination.

(d) In the event that the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement is disputed by any Taxing Authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto, and Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to defend such allocation in any Tax audit or similar proceeding.

(e) If an adjustment is made with respect to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.08, the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and as mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller. In the event that an agreement is not reached within 20 days after the determination of the Final Closing Working Capital, any disputed items shall be resolved in the manner described in Section 8.10. Buyer and Seller shall file any additional information return required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code and to treat the Allocation Statement as adjusted in the manner described in Section 2.06(c).

(f) Not later than 30 days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to this transaction, each party shall deliver to the other party a copy of its Form 8594.

Section 2.07. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities hereunder shall take place at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell, 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, as soon as possible, but in no event later than three Business Days, after satisfaction (or to the extent permitted, the

waiver) of the conditions set forth in Article 10 (other than those conditions that by their nature may only be satisfied at the Closing and will in fact be satisfied at the Closing), or at such other time or place as Buyer and Seller may agree; provided, however, that the Closing may be delayed by Seller (x) for up to one month if the Tax Opinion has not been finalized by such date, to permit the Tax Opinion to be finalized or (y) the end of Seller’s applicable fiscal month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to exercise its right to delay the Closing under either (x) or (y) of the immediately preceding sentence if Seller would otherwise be obligated to complete the Closing between June 26, 2009 and July 3, 2009 (inclusive). If Seller exercises its right to delay the Closing as set forth in the second immediately preceding sentence, Seller shall deliver 5 Business Days’ notice to Buyer of Seller’s intent to close. The Closing shall be deemed to be effective for accounting and other computational purposes, and the parties will treat the Closing as if it had occurred, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date. All proceedings to be taken, and all documents to be executed and delivered by all parties at the Closing, shall be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously, and no proceedings shall be deemed to have been taken and no documents shall be deemed to have been executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed and delivered. At the Closing:

(a) Buyer shall deliver (or, subject to Section 13.05, cause one or more of its designated Affiliates to deliver) to Seller the Purchase Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account of Seller with a bank in New York City designated by Seller, by notice to Buyer, which notice shall be delivered not later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Seller shall deliver or cause its Affiliates to deliver, as applicable, to Buyer such deeds, bills of sale, endorsements, assignments, duly endorsed certificates, stock powers and other good and sufficient instruments of conveyance and assignment as reasonably necessary or appropriate to vest in Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate) all right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets other than the Irish Purchased Assets.

(c) Seller shall deliver or cause its Affiliates to deliver, as applicable, to Buyer such deeds, bills of sale, endorsements, assignments, duly endorsed certificates, stock powers and other good and sufficient instruments of conveyance and assignment as reasonably necessary or appropriate to vest in Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate) all right, title and interest in, to and under the Irish Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 2.10.

(d) Seller and Buyer shall enter into or cause their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to enter into the Transaction Documents (other than this Agreement), and Seller and Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each other their respective duly executed counterparts of each of the Transaction

Documents (other than this Agreement) to which it (or any of its Affiliates) is a party.

(e) Seller shall cause each Selling Entity that is selling any Owned Real Property or assigning a Real Property Lease that is located, or with respect to property located, in the United States to deliver to Buyer a non-foreign person affidavit that satisfies the requirements of Section 1445 of the Code.

(f) Buyer and Seller shall each deliver to the other such other documents and instruments as the other may reasonably request to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as evidence that the conditions set forth in Article 10 have been satisfied.

Section 2.08. Closing Balance Sheet; Purchase Price Adjustment. (a) Promptly after the Closing Date, and in any event not later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer for its review a statement (the “Closing Statement”) of the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Cash as of the close of business on the Closing Date. “Closing Working Capital” means, as of the Closing, the current assets of the Business (excluding Closing Cash, State of Florida deferred costs phases 3,4,5 (recorded in SAP account number 1308015) and deferred Income Tax assets but including the long-term portion of any unbilled revenues or unbilled receivables) less the current liabilities of the Business (excluding all State of Florida deferred revenue liabilities (including SAP account numbers 2308010, 2308015 and 2308025), P7200 rework and related liabilities, deferred Income Tax liabilities and, for the avoidance of doubt, accrued Income Tax liabilities), in each case included in the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities or owned or owing by the Subsidiary, taken as a whole. Closing Working Capital and Closing Cash will be determined in a manner consistent with the policies, principles, practices and methodologies set forth on Exhibit D (the “Agreed Principles”). The calculation of the target closing working capital is set forth in Exhibit E. Buyer shall give Seller and its Representatives reasonable access to the premises, books and records, and appropriate personnel of the Business as necessary for purposes of the preparation of the Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 2.08(a) (and during the periods contemplated by Section 2.08(b)). Buyer shall instruct its employees (including the Transferred Employees) and Representatives to cooperate with, and promptly and completely respond to all reasonable requests and inquiries of, Seller and its Representatives, and, upon execution of a customary access letter if required by Buyer’s outside accountants, Seller and its Representatives shall have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, to all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by Buyer or its Representatives (including its outside accountants) to the extent such materials have been prepared by Buyer and its Representatives and relate to the calculation of Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash and are reasonably required by Seller or its Representatives in the calculation of Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Cash. At the Business’s facilities in Lynchburg, Virginia, Cork, Ireland, and additional locations which would reasonably be deemed necessary to achieve at

least 75% coverage of total inventory of the Business, whether raw materials, work-in-process or finished product (the “Inventory”), Seller will determine the quantities of Inventory located at such facilities as of the Closing Date for purposes of the Closing Working Capital calculation by taking a physical count or measurement of the Inventory located at such facilities commencing as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date. During such physical count or measurement, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that incoming shipments of materials from suppliers and shipments to customers do not affect such physical counts or measurements. Seller will conduct such physical counts or measurements of the Inventory using Business Employees and/or contractors. For finished product Inventory in transit to customers on the Closing Date, the physical count or measurement will exclude the invoiced quantities in transit to customers as supported by shipping records. Buyer will have the right to have its Representatives observe and check such physical inventory count or measurement.

(b) Buyer and its Representatives may make reasonable inquiries of Seller and/or its Representatives regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Closing Statement arising in the course of Buyer’s review. Seller shall give Buyer reasonable access to the premises, books and records, and its Representatives for purposes of reviewing the Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 2.08(b). Seller shall instruct its employees and Representatives and cause its Affiliates to instruct their respective employees and Representatives to cooperate with, and promptly and completely respond to all reasonable requests and inquiries of, Buyer and its Representatives, and, upon execution of a customary access letter if required by Seller’s outside accountants, Buyer and its Representatives shall have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, to all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by Seller or its Representatives (including its outside accountants) to the extent such materials relate to the calculation of Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash and are reasonably required by Buyer or its Representatives in the calculation of Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Cash. Buyer shall complete its review of the Closing Statement within forty-five (45) days after the delivery thereof to Buyer. Promptly following completion of its review (but in no event later than the conclusion of the forty-five (45) day period), Buyer may submit to Seller a letter regarding its concurrence or disagreement with the accuracy of the Closing Statement; provided that any such letter must specify (i) the items of the Closing Statement with which Buyer disagrees, (ii) the adjustments that Buyer proposes to be made to the Closing Statement and (iii) the specific amount of such disagreement and reasonable supporting documentation and calculations and provided, further, that Buyer may only disagree with the Closing Statement if Buyer’s proposed calculation will result in an adjustment to the Purchase Price. If Buyer does not deliver a letter disagreeing with the accuracy of the Closing Statement before the conclusion of such forty-five (45) day period, the Closing Statement shall be final and binding upon the parties and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement. If Buyer does deliver such a letter, following such delivery,

Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve promptly any disagreement as to the computation of any item in the Closing Statement. Any items to which there is no disagreement shall be deemed agreed. If a resolution of such disagreement has not been effected within fifteen (15) days (or longer, as mutually agreed by the parties) after delivery of such letter, notwithstanding the parties’ good faith efforts to resolve the disagreement, then Seller and Buyer shall jointly engage the Accounting Referee to resolve on a basis consistent with the Agreed Principles such disagreement regarding the Closing Statement (a “Disputed Item”). Each party shall cooperate with and make available to the other party and the Accounting Referee all information, records, data and working papers as may be reasonably requested by the Accounting Referee in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement and the resolution of any disagreements relating thereto and shall cause the Accounting Referee to render its determination with respect to any Disputed Item within thirty (30) days of submission of such Disputed Item to the Accounting Referee. The Accounting Referee shall adopt a position within the range of positions submitted by Seller and Buyer with respect to any Disputed Item. The Accounting Referee’s determination regarding any Disputed Item shall be based solely on whether Seller included such Disputed Item in or excluded such Disputed Item from the Closing Statement or calculated such Disputed Item, as the case may be, in a manner consistent with the Agreed Principles. All determinations made by the Accounting Referee shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto, and neither of the parties hereto, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall seek recourse in the courts or other tribunals, other than to enforce the Accounting Referee’s determination. Subject to Section 13.07, judgment may be entered to enforce such determination in any court of competent jurisdiction. Closing Working Capital as finally determined in accordance herewith shall be referred to as the “Final Closing Working Capital.” The Closing Cash as finally determined in accordance herewith shall be referred to as the “Closing Cash Amount.” The fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be shared as follows:

(i) if the Accounting Referee resolves all of the Disputed Items in favor of Buyer’s position (the Final Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, so determined is referred to herein as the “Low Value”), then Seller shall be obligated to pay for all of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee;

(ii) if the Accounting Referee resolves all of the Disputed Items in favor of Seller’s position (the Final Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, so determined is referred to herein as the “High Value”), then Buyer shall be obligated to pay for all of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee; and

(iii) if the Accounting Referee neither resolves all of the Disputed Items in favor of Buyer’s position nor resolves all of the Disputed Items in favor of Seller’s position (the Final Closing Working

Capital and/or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, so determined is referred to herein as the “Actual Value”), Seller shall be responsible for such fraction of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee for the Final Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, equal to (x) the difference between the High Value and the Actual Value over (y) the difference between the High Value and the Low Value, for the Final Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, and Buyer shall be responsible for the remainder of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee.

(i) is equal to or greater than an amount three percent (3%) below the target closing working capital set forth on Exhibit E (the “Lower Working Capital Limit”) and is equal to or less than an amount three percent (3%) above the target closing working capital set forth on Exhibit E (the “Upper Working Capital Limit”), then no adjustments will be made to the Purchase Price in respect of the Final Closing Working Capital;

(ii) exceeds the Upper Working Capital Limit, then Buyer shall be obligated to pay to Seller the amount by which the Final Closing Working Capital exceeds the Upper Working Capital Limit; or

(iii) is less than the Lower Working Capital Limit, then Seller shall be obligated to repay to Buyer the amount by which the Lower Working Capital Limit exceeds the Final Closing Working Capital.

(d) Buyer shall be obligated to pay to Seller the Closing Cash Amount, if any.

(e) Any payments to be made pursuant to Sections 2.08(c) and 2.08(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Working Capital and the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, if either of the Final Closing Working Capital or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, is determined before the other, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall pay the other party any amount owed pursuant to Section 2.08(c) or 2.08(d) in respect of such determination within five (5) Business Days after such determination (notwithstanding that the other has not yet been determined). Any payment made pursuant to Section 2.08(c) or 2.08(d) shall be made with interest (such interest to be calculated on the actual number of days elapsed) on such amount from (i) the date of the delivery of a letter of disagreement, if there is a disagreement or (ii) 35 days from the Closing if there is no such letter of

disagreement (or if the Closing Statement has not yet been delivered by Seller), to the date of such payment at a rate equal to six percent (6%) per annum.

Section 2.09. GST and QST Elections. At the Closing, Seller and Buyer (or their respective Affiliates) shall jointly execute an election under section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and an election under section 75 of an Act respecting the Quebec sales tax (Quebec) in the prescribed form, such that no GST or QST shall be payable in connection with the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Buyer shall file the joint elections with the returns required to be filed by Buyer under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and an Act respecting the Quebec sales tax (Quebec) for the Buyer’s reporting periods in which the sale was made, in compliance with the requirements of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and an Act respecting the Quebec sales tax (Quebec).

Section 2.10. Irish Purchased Assets. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not convey title to any of the Irish Purchased Assets. Seller and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, in relation to the Irish Purchased Assets, appropriate documentation is entered into on the Closing Date to convey title to the Irish Purchased Assets so as to mitigate Irish Stamp Duty.

If any Governmental Authority determines that any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.04, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, it is the intention of the parties that such Governmental Authority shall have the power to modify any such provision, to the extent necessary to render the provision enforceable, and such provision as so modified shall be enforced.

Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in connection with making such claim and shall provide the other with all reasonably requested information necessary to make such claim. Nothing contained in this Section 5.06 shall require Buyer or its Affiliates to pursue their rights under this Section 5.06 in lieu of their rights under any other provision of this Agreement and nothing contained in this Section 5.06 shall affect the rights of Buyer and its Affiliates under any other provision of this Agreement, except that any amounts received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates for a loss under this Section 5.06 may offset recovery for the same loss under Article 11 to the extent of the amount paid and received by Buyer.

Section 6.03. Cooperation on SONY Litigation. In furtherance of its obligations under Section 6.02 and notwithstanding any limitations set forth therein, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer will provide and, as applicable, cause its employees and its Affiliates and their employees to provide, all such reasonable cooperation to Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives with respect to the SONY Litigation, which cooperation will include furnishing or causing to be furnished records, information and testimony as requested by Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives and causing Transferred Employees who possess knowledge pertaining to the SONY Litigation to make themselves available for consultation with respect to settlement discussions and to attend strategy sessions and judicial and arbitration proceedings, as requested by Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection therewith. In connection with the defense or prosecution by Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives of any lawsuit arising from the SONY Litigation, Buyer’s obligations under this Section 6.03 will include: (i) causing the Transferred Employees with the knowledge pertaining to the SONY Litigation to provide such information, recollections and explanations of events or documents as reasonably may be relevant or helpful in connection with any discussions, negotiations or litigation pertaining to the SONY Litigation; (ii) causing the Transferred Employees with the knowledge pertaining to the SONY Litigation to comply with requests for depositions and for testimony at trial and to make themselves available for deposition and trial testimony preparation by Seller’s counsel for such time periods as are reasonably appropriate; (iii) causing the individual who, prior to the Closing, acted as Vice President and General Manager of M/A-COM (John Vaughan), or another reasonably acceptable corporate designee of similar rank and responsibility, and other reasonably acceptable relevant Transferred Employees to assist with answering and to verify interrogatory responses; (iv) causing the individual who, prior to the Closing, acted as Vice President and General Manager of M/A-COM, or another reasonably acceptable corporate designee of similar rank and responsibility, to participate in weekly litigation strategy sessions for a maximum of 5 hours per session, to the extent such frequency and duration for such strategy sessions are reasonably appropriate, unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer; and (v) causing the individual who, prior to the Closing, acted as Vice President and General Manager of M/A-COM, or another reasonably acceptable corporate designee of

similar rank and responsibility, to be available to attend each day of any trial or arbitration proceeding; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.03, Buyer will only be obligated to cause any person to cooperate with Seller in the SONY Litigation pursuant to this Section 6.03 if and for so long as Buyer is capable of directing the actions of such person. Seller shall bear any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer, its Affiliates or their respective employees or Representatives as a result of complying with this Section 6.03. With respect to the SONY Litigation, Seller agrees to act in a commercially reasonable manner and not to take any action with the intent of harming the reputation of the Business, Buyer or any of its Affiliates. Seller and its Affiliates hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the SONY Litigation in such a manner, without compromising Seller’s position, to minimize disruption to the Business, including by providing, to the extent it is reasonably practicable, reasonable advance notice to Buyer and its Affiliates of the need to use the Transferred Employees as provided for in this Section 6.03, and scheduling events, to the extent it is reasonably practicable, to accommodate the schedules and reasonable requests of the Transferred Employees and Buyer and its Affiliates. The parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the SONY Litigation shall be an Excluded Liability retained by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, and that nothing in this Section shall in any way affect the treatment of the SONY Litigation under this Agreement as an Excluded Liability.

Section 6.04. Post-Closing Obligations for Leases. Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, exercise any right with regard to, or enter into, any amendment, renewal, modification or waiver of any Real Property Lease that extends the term thereof beyond its then-current term with respect to any Real Property Lease as to which Seller or one of its Affiliates remains the leasing party or a guarantor, or is otherwise secondarily liable for the obligations of the lessee, under such lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Real Property Lease that involves a month-to-month tenancy and with respect to which Seller or one of its Affiliates remains the leasing party or a guarantor or is otherwise secondarily liable, Buyer may extend such Real Property Lease (or otherwise continue or renew such month-to-month tenancy) so long as it is not later than the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent Buyer from seeking a novation of, or entering into a new lease for the real property relating to, any Real Property Lease as to which Seller remains the leasing party or a guarantor, or is otherwise secondarily liable for the obligations of the lessee under such lease, so long as such novation or new lease contains a full release of all obligations of Seller and/or its Affiliate, as the case may be, under such Real Property Lease with respect to periods after such novation or new lease.

Section 6.05. Replacement of Certain Obligations. (a) Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to, effective as of the Closing Date, (i) cause to be terminated each of the Parent Guarantees, (ii) replace the Seller Surety Bonds, and (iii) replace the Parent LofCs

and terminate any reimbursement obligations or other Contracts between and among Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Subsidiary), on the one hand, and the beneficiary of any such Parent Guarantee or the provider of any such Seller Surety Bond or any such Parent LofC, on the other hand, in each case that relates to any such Parent Guarantee, Seller Surety Bond or Parent LofC (each, a “Related Obligation or Contract”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of this Section 6.05, commercially reasonable efforts will not require Buyer or Seller to institute escrow arrangements or make any cash payments (other than to incur ordinary and reasonable costs and expenses to have issued new surety bonds and letters of credit to replace the Seller Surety Bonds and Parent LofCs) to any beneficiary to terminate or replace any such Parent Guarantees, Seller Surety Bonds or Parent LofCs.

(b) To the extent that any Parent Guarantee, Seller Surety Bond, Parent LofC or Related Obligation or Contract remains outstanding as of the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall have a continuing obligation after the Closing to use their commercially reasonable efforts to have any such Parent Guarantee, Seller Surety Bond, Parent LofC or Related Obligation or Contract terminated or replaced after the Closing as contemplated by Section 6.05(a). To the extent that Seller or any of its Affiliates has performance obligations under any such Parent Guarantee, Seller Surety Bond, Parent LofC or Related Obligation or Contract, Buyer and its Affiliates shall use their reasonable best efforts to perform such obligations on behalf of such party or otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by Seller so as to put such party in the same position as if Buyer (or its Affiliates), and not such party, had performed or were performing such obligations. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to extend the term, or otherwise agree to any amendment or waiver, of any Parent Guarantee, Seller Surety Bond, Parent LofC or any Related Obligation or Contract that remains outstanding after the Closing other than “change orders” entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice with a value of less than 25% of the original value of the relevant Parent Guarantee, Seller Surety Bond, Parent LofC or Related Obligation or Contract.

(c) If the termination or replacement of a particular Parent Guarantee, Seller Surety Bond, Parent LofC or Related Obligation or Contract would in and of itself (with or without notice or lapse of time) violate, conflict with, result in a breach or default of, or otherwise give any Person additional rights or compensation under, or the right to terminate or accelerate, any Contract of the Business, such Parent Guarantee, Seller Surety Bond, Parent LofC or Related Obligation or Contract shall not be required to be terminated or replaced pursuant to this Section 6.05. Nothing in this Section 6.05(c) shall excuse either Buyer or Seller from any of its other obligations under this Section 6.05.

(d) Nothing in Section 6.05(b) affects Buyer’s right to seek indemnification under Section 11.02.

Section 6.06. Targeted Technology Obligation. Buyer agrees to comply with its obligations set forth on Schedule 6.06 at the times, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such Schedule.

(b) Buyer shall timely prepare and file all Tax Returns of or relating to the Subsidiary, the Non-Entity Business or the Purchased Assets that are required to be filed after the Closing Date.

Buyer shall permit Seller to review and comment on any such Tax Return for which Seller or any of its Affiliates has any indemnification obligation under this Agreement, and Buyer shall make such

Buyer shall also cause its Affiliates not to file any such Tax Returns or claims for refund of Taxes.

Section 8.05. Tax Contests. (a) Each of Seller and Buyer shall provide notice to the other of any claim or potential claim for Taxes for which it may seek indemnification pursuant to Section 8.06.

The party seeking indemnification shall provide such notice within 15 Business Days of the earlier to occur of (i) its receipt of a written communication from the Taxing Authority and (ii) personal contact between an agent of the Taxing Authority and an employee of such party who is responsible for Taxes, in each case with respect to such Taxes. If the party seeking indemnification fails to give the other party notice within such period, then (x) if the indemnifying party is precluded from

contesting the asserted Tax Liability in any forum as a result of such failure, the indemnifying party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax Liability, and (y) if the indemnifying party is not precluded from contesting such asserted Tax Liability in any forum, but such failure results in a monetary detriment to the indemnifying party, then any amount that the indemnifying party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified party pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

(b) Seller or its designee shall have the right, upon written notice to Buyer within 30 days after delivery by Buyer to Seller of the notice described in Section 8.05(a), to control the conduct, including settlement or other disposition thereof, of any Contest relating to a Tax matter to the extent such Contest is in connection with any Taxes for which Seller may be liable pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense in such Contest.

(c) Buyer shall have the right to control the conduct of any Contest not described in Section 8.05(b). Seller shall have the right, at Seller’s own expense, to consult with Buyer regarding any Contest that might affect a taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date). Buyer may settle or otherwise dispose of any such Contest only with the consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 8.06. Indemnification. (a) The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 8.06 are the exclusive remedy for obligations of the parties arising under this Agreement that relate to Taxes, and Article 11 of this Agreement shall not apply to such obligations, except (i) that Article 11 of this Agreement shall apply to breaches of Section 3.15 and (ii) as specifically set forth in Section 11.04.

(ii) for Seller’s Taxes.

(c) Buyer shall be liable for, and covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against, any and all Liabilities incurred by any of Seller or its Affiliates:

(d) If a party (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) determines that it or any of its Affiliates is entitled to indemnification by another party (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”) under Section 8.06(b) or Section 8.06(c) hereof, the Tax Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Tax Indemnifying Party a written notice and demand therefor (the “Tax Notice”) specifying the basis for indemnification and the amount for which the Tax Indemnified Party requests indemnification (a “Tax Claim”), together with any supporting documentation (including, if applicable, any relevant notice from any Taxing Authority). The Tax Notice must be received by the Tax Indemnifying Party no later than 60 days before the expiration of the applicable Tax statute of limitations; provided, however, that if the Tax Indemnified Party does not receive notice from the applicable Taxing Authority (“Taxing Authority Notice”) that an item exists that could give rise to a Tax Claim more than 30 days before the expiration of the applicable Tax statute of limitations, then the Tax Notice must be received by the Tax Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable after the Tax Indemnified Party receives the Taxing Authority Notice (but in no event more than five Business Days after the Tax Indemnified Party receives the Taxing Authority Notice). If the Tax Indemnifying Party objects to the Tax Claim in the manner set forth in Section 8.06(e) hereof or if either the Tax Indemnifying Party or the Tax Indemnified Party exercises Contest rights as contemplated by Section 8.05, then the Tax Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to make an indemnification payment to the Tax Indemnified Party until there is a determination by the Accounting Referee or a Final Determination regarding the Tax Claim, as the case may be. In all other cases, the Tax Indemnifying Party shall pay the Tax Indemnified Party the amount set forth in the Tax Notice within 30 days after receipt of the Tax Notice.

(e) The Tax Indemnifying Party may object to any Tax Claim by giving the Tax Indemnified Party, within 30 days following receipt of the related Tax Notice, written notice setting forth the Tax Indemnifying Party’s grounds for so objecting (the “Tax Objection Notice”). If the Tax Indemnifying Party does not give the Tax Indemnified Party the Tax Objection Notice within such 30-day period, the Tax Indemnifying Party shall be treated as having agreed to all elements of the Tax Claim and shall satisfy it in the manner provided in Section 8.06(d).

(f) If the Tax Indemnified Party and the Tax Indemnifying Party are unable to settle a dispute regarding a Tax Claim within 30 days after receipt of the

Tax Objection Notice, the Tax Indemnified Party and the Tax Indemnifying Party shall jointly request that the Accounting Referee to resolve the dispute in the manner provided in Section 8.06.

(g) Failure by the Tax Indemnified Party to promptly deliver to the Tax Indemnifying Party a Tax Notice in accordance with Section 8.06(d) hereof shall not relieve the Tax Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent the Tax Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

Section 8.07. Refunds. (a) Buyer shall and shall cause its Affiliates to pay over the amount of any refund of Seller’s Taxes (together with any interest thereon received from a Taxing Authority) (“Seller’s Refunds”) within five Business Days after receipt thereof or credit against Tax Liability for another taxable period.

Buyer shall return the amount of such refund (and any interest received thereon) or credit within five Business Days of written demand by Seller if Seller is required to return the refund to the Taxing Authority.

(c) Upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall file, or cause an Affiliate to file, claims for Seller’s Refunds, in such form as Seller may reasonably request; provided, however, that the filing of any such claim will not result, in Buyer’s reasonable determination, in any prejudice to Buyer or its Affiliates. Seller shall have the sole right to prosecute any claims for Seller’s Refunds (by suit or otherwise) at Seller’s expense and with counsel of Seller’s choice.

(d) Upon the request of Buyer, Seller shall and shall cause its Affiliates to file, claims for Buyer’s Refunds, in such form as Buyer may reasonably request; provided, however, that the filing of any such claim will not result, in Seller’s reasonable determination, in any prejudice to Seller or its Affiliates. Buyer shall have the sole right to prosecute any claims for Buyer’s Refunds (by suit or otherwise) at Buyer’s expense and with counsel of Buyer’s choice.

(e) Any refunds of Taxes other than Seller’s Refunds and Buyer’s Refunds shall be the property of the payee of such refunds and no other party or its Affiliates shall have any right to such refunds.

ARTICLE 9
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Section 9.01. U.S. Business Employees and Employee Benefits. (a) Transfer and Terms and Conditions of Employment. Within a reasonable period of time prior to the Closing Date, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall offer employment to each U.S. Business Employee, commencing as of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any U.S. Business Employee not actively at work as of the Closing Date, as of the date that such U.S. Business Employee returns to active employment; provided that such U.S. Business Employee returns to active employment within six months following the Closing Date), in the same job or position, at the same location (or within 50 miles of such location) and at the same (or a higher) rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. For clarity, (i) “rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation” for this purpose and for the purposes of Section 9.02, Section 9.03 and Section 9.04 shall exclude commissions, variable pay, target bonus, incentive compensation (including equity incentives), premium pay, overtime, shift differentials, perquisites, retirement, welfare or other benefits, retention amounts, change in control amounts and any similar payments and (ii) Buyer shall have no obligation to employ a U.S. Business Employee who is not actively at work as of the Closing Date and who does not return to active employment within six months following the Closing Date. Buyer, at the time such employment offers are so extended, shall provide to Seller appropriate information regarding employment terms and conditions offered to the U.S. Business Employees, which shall conform in all respects to the provisions of this Section 9.01. Buyer shall communicate with Seller prior to the extension of employment offers with respect to communicating the offers to the U.S. Business Employees. Each U.S. Business Employee who accepts such offer of employment and commences employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer is referred to as a “Transferred U.S. Employee,” and all such employees collectively are referred to as the “Transferred U.S. Employees.” For a period of at least 12 months following the Closing Date, Buyer covenants and agrees to (or to cause its Affiliates to) maintain compensation and benefits for the benefit of the Transferred U.S. Employees that are, in the aggregate, not substantially less favorable, as reasonably determined in good faith by Buyer, than the Benefit Plans as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. For a period of at least 12 months following the Closing Date, Buyer covenants and agrees that each Transferred U.S. Employee’s rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date shall not be reduced; provided that this provision shall not preclude Buyer’s implementation of any reduced hours arrangement, furlough program or similar arrangements to

the extent Transferred U.S. Employees are treated no less favorably than similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates. Subject to the Transfer Regulations (to the extent relevant), no provision in this Agreement shall (i) give any Transferred U.S. Employee any right to continued employment with Buyer or impair in any way the right of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer to terminate or change the terms of the employment (other than the rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation as provided above) of any employee, including any Transferred U.S. Employee, after the Closing Date or (ii) preclude Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer from altering, amending or terminating any of its employee benefit plans (including any Assumed Plan), or the participation of any of its employees in such plans, at any time. Effective as of the Closing, Seller or its applicable Affiliate shall terminate the employment of all U.S. Business Employees actively at work as of immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) COBRA. Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for compliance with the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code and part 6 of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, or similar state statutes (“COBRA”), including the provision of continuation coverage, with respect to all Former Employees and all Business Employees who do not become Transferred U.S. Employees, and, in each case, their spouses and dependents, and with respect to Transferred U.S. Employees, and their spouses and dependents, for whom a qualifying event occurs on or prior to the date they become Transferred U.S. Employees. Buyer and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for compliance with the requirements of COBRA with respect to qualifying events with respect to Transferred U.S. Employees, and their spouses and dependents, that occur after the date such employees become Transferred U.S. Employees. For purposes of this Section 9.01(b), the terms “continuation coverage” and “qualifying event” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in COBRA.

(c) Severance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, have in effect for at least 12 months following the Closing Date severance plans, practices and policies applicable to each Transferred U.S. Employee that are not less favorable in the aggregate, as reasonably determined by Buyer in good faith, than such plans, practices and policies in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date with respect to such Transferred U.S. Employee as identified on Schedule 9.01(c). For the avoidance of doubt, Seller will be liable for (i) any retention, change in control, bonus or other amount described in Section 2.04(f) (including the employer portion of any payroll, social security, unemployment or similar Taxes) and (ii) any severance Liabilities with respect to Former Employees.

(d) Assumed Compensation and Benefits. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, assume, honor and be solely responsible for paying, providing and satisfying when due all Assumed Compensation and Benefits for the benefit of Transferred U.S. Employees.

(e) Tax-Qualified Plans. Each Transferred U.S. Employee who is a participant in the Tyco Electronics Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (the “Tyco Electronics Savings Plan”) shall cease to be an active participant under such plan effective as of the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall have, or shall cause its Affiliates to have, in effect a defined contribution plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Buyer Savings Plan”) in which Transferred U.S. Employees who meet the eligibility criteria thereof shall be eligible to participate. Effective as of the Closing Date, each Transferred U.S. Employee shall become fully vested in his or her account balance in the Tyco Electronics Savings Plan. Buyer agrees to cause the Buyer Savings Plan to accept rollovers by Transferred U.S. Employees from the Tyco Electronics Savings Plan, including promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans. Buyer agrees that it will be solely responsible for amounts charged by the third-party administrator of the Tyco Electronics Savings Plan and paid by Seller in connection with rollovers by Transferred U.S. Employees from the Tyco Electronics Savings Plan to the Buyer Savings Plan that exceed the amounts that would have been charged by the third-party administrator of the Tyco Electronics Savings Plan and paid by Seller had the accounts of Transferred U.S. Employees in the Tyco Electronics Savings Plan been transferred to the Buyer Savings Plan in a mandatory trust-to-trust transfer. Seller agrees that it will use good faith efforts to avoid or mitigate charges by the third-party administrator of the Tyco Electronics Savings Plan in connection with the rollovers contemplated by this Section 9.01(e), including consulting with Buyer prior to authorizing such charges and permitting Buyer or the third-party administrator of the Buyer Savings Plan to assume responsibility for actions for which the third-party administrator of the Tyco Electronics Savings Plan would asses charges, including drafting and sending participant communications regarding the availability of such rollovers (which communications shall be mutually acceptable in form and substance to both Seller and Buyer). Buyer agrees that it will cause the third-party administrator of the Buyer Savings Plan to accept any rollover contemplated pursuant to this Section 9.01(e) no later than sixty days following the latest date that Buyer receives the documentation from the Transferred U.S. Employee and the third-party administrator of the Tyco Electronics Savings Plan necessary for the third-party administrator of the Buyer Savings Plan to process such rollover.

(f) Certain Welfare Plan Matters. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall maintain or cause its Affiliates to maintain a group health plan in which Transferred U.S. Employees, and their respective spouses and dependents, who meet the eligibility criteria thereof may participate. Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall use, or shall cause its Affiliates to use, its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to ensure that no waiting periods, exclusions or limitations with respect to any pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability or good health or actively-at-work exclusions are applicable to any Transferred U.S. Employees covered by a welfare benefit plan maintained by Seller or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date, or their dependents or beneficiaries, under

any similar welfare benefit plans maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates in which such Transferred U.S. Employees may be eligible to participate (except to the extent that such a waiting period, exclusion or limitation was in effect and had not been satisfied under the Benefit Plan in which such employee, dependent or beneficiary was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing Date, and without regard to any such waiting period, exclusion or limitation that applies solely to employees who do not elect welfare benefit plan coverage upon initial eligibility for the plan) and (ii) to provide that any costs or expenses incurred by the Transferred U.S. Employees (and their respective dependents and beneficiaries) under the Benefit Plans with respect to the plan year that includes the Closing Date, up to (and including) the Closing Date, shall be specifically applied for purposes of satisfying any similar deductible, co-payment, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket provisions and like adjustments or limitations on coverage under any such welfare benefit plans. Except as provided in Section 9.01(b), Section 9.01(h) or Section 9.01(j), Buyer shall be responsible under the employee welfare benefit plans of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer for all amounts payable by reason of claims incurred by Transferred U.S. Employees and their eligible dependents and beneficiaries after the date they become Transferred U.S. Employees.

(g) Cafeteria Plan. Buyer shall have in effect, or cause to be in effect, as of the Closing Date, flexible spending reimbursement accounts under a cafeteria plan qualifying under Section 125 of the Code (the “Buyer Cafeteria Plan”) in which Transferred U.S. Employees who meet the eligibility criteria thereof may participate. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be transferred to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the excess of the aggregate accumulated contributions to the flexible spending reimbursement accounts under the cafeteria plans in which such Transferred U.S. Employees participate (the “Tyco Electronics Cafeteria Plan”) made during the year in which the Closing Date occurs by the Transferred U.S. Employees over the aggregate reimbursement payouts made for such year from such accounts to such Transferred U.S. Employees. Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall cause the balance of each Transferred U.S. Employee’s accounts under the Tyco Electronics Cafeteria Plan as of the Closing Date to be credited to the Transferred U.S. Employee’s corresponding accounts under the Buyer Cafeteria Plan in which such employees participate following the Closing Date. On and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims for reimbursement by Transferred U.S. Employees, whether incurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date, that have not been paid in full as of the Closing Date, which claims shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of the Buyer Cafeteria Plan, and Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from any and all claims by or with respect to Transferred U.S. Employees for reimbursement under the Tyco Electronics Cafeteria Plan that have not been paid in full as of the Closing Date. Buyer agrees to cause the Buyer Cafeteria Plan to honor and continue through the end of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs the elections made by each Transferred U.S. Employee under the Tyco Electronics Cafeteria Plan in

respect of the flexible spending reimbursement accounts that are in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(h) Supplemental Life and Disability. Seller shall be solely responsible for supplemental life and disability (whether long-term or short-term) coverage of Former Employees and Business Employees on short-term disability immediately prior to the Closing Date who do not return to active employment within six months following the Closing Date. Buyer shall be solely responsible for supplemental life and disability (whether long-term or short-term) coverage of all Transferred U.S. Employees after the date that such employees commence employment with Buyer and its Affiliates, even if the incident or circumstance giving rise to such coverage occurred prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall be solely responsible for any Liabilities (calculated in the manner set forth on Schedule 9.01(h)) with respect to short-term disability coverage provided to any Transferred U.S. Employee on and after the Closing Date but prior to his or her active employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer; provided that such Transferred U.S. Employee returns to active employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer within six months following the Closing Date.

(j) Workers’ Compensation. Seller shall retain the obligation and Liability for any workers’ compensation, occupational disease or illness, state or other disability or similar workers’ protection claims with respect to each U.S. Business Employee reported prior to or on the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for any such claim reported after the Closing Date even if the injury or illness giving rise to such claim originates prior to or on the Closing Date.

Section 9.02. Canadian Business Employees. Transfer and Terms and Conditions of Employment. Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall offer employment effective as of the Closing Date to each Canadian Business Employee, other than a Quebec Business Employee, at the same rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation, and under reasonably comparable employee benefits in the aggregate as are made available to such Canadian Business Employee immediately before the Closing Date. With respect to any Canadian Business Employee employed in the Province of Quebec (a “Quebec Business Employee”), Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall continue the employment of each Quebec Business Employee at the same rate of base salary,

wages or other base compensation, and under reasonably comparable employee benefits in the aggregate as are made available to such Quebec Business Employee immediately before the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any Canadian Business Employee who is on short-term disability, pregnancy or parental leave, or other authorized leave of absence on the Closing Date, other than a Quebec Business Employee, the terms of the offer made to any such Canadian Business Employee by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall specify that the offer is conditional upon the Canadian Business Employee’s return to active employment, and the date on which such Canadian Business Employee returns to active employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall be the effective date of employment for the Canadian Business Employee. Until such Canadian Business Employee accepts Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment, as applicable, and reports to active employment (the date that such Canadian Business Employee reports to active employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer being the “Canadian Deferred Hire Date”), he or she shall remain in Seller’s or its Affiliate’s employ and continue to participate in Seller’s or its Affiliate’s Benefit Plans and Seller or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall retain all Liabilities in respect of such Canadian Business Employee until the Canadian Deferred Hired Date. Each Canadian Business Employee who accepts an offer of employment made pursuant to this Section 9.02 and commences employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, or continues employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer is referred to as a “Transferred Canadian Employee.” For a period of at least 12 months following the Closing Date, Buyer covenants and agrees that each Transferred Canadian Employee’s rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date shall not be reduced; provided that this provision shall not preclude Buyer’s implementation of any reduced hours arrangement, furlough program or similar arrangements in accordance with Applicable Law to the extent Transferred Canadian Employees are treated no less favorably than similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates. No provision in this Agreement shall (i) give any Transferred Canadian Employee any right to continued employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer or impair in any way the right of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer to terminate or change the terms of the employment (other than the rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation as provided above) of any employee, including any Transferred Canadian Employee, after the Closing Date in accordance with Applicable Law or (ii) preclude Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer from altering, amending or terminating any of its employee benefit plans (including any Assumed Plan), or the participation of any of its employees in such plans, at any time.

Section 9.03. Irish Business Employees. Transfer and Terms and Conditions of Employment. The parties hereto accept for the purposes of this Agreement that the Transfer Regulations apply in Ireland. With respect to any Irish Business Employee, effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall take over each Irish Business Employee on terms and conditions not less favorable on an individual basis in the aggregate than the terms and conditions provided immediately prior to the Closing Date, except as otherwise

required or sufficient to comply with Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations). For a period of at least 12 months following the Closing Date, and subject to Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations) to the extent relevant, Buyer covenants and agrees that each Irish Business Employee’s rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date shall not be reduced; provided that, subject to Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations), this provision shall not preclude Buyer’s implementation of any reduced hours arrangement, furlough program or similar arrangements to the extent Irish Business Employees are treated no less favorably then similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates. Subject to Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations), no provision in this Agreement shall (i) give any Irish Business Employee any right to continued employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer or impair in any way the right of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer to terminate or change the terms of the employment (other than the rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation as provided above) of any employee, including any Irish Business Employee, after the Closing Date or (ii) preclude Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer from altering, amending or terminating any of its employee benefit plans (including any Assumed Plan), or the participation of any of its employees in such plans, at any time.

Section 9.04. Other Business Employees. Transfer and Terms and Conditions of Employment. With respect to any Business Employee who is not a U.S. Business Employee, a Canadian Business Employee or an Irish Business Employee (an “Other Business Employee”), effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall offer employment to or otherwise accept into employment each Other Business Employee at the same rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation, and under reasonably comparable employee benefits in the aggregate as are made available to such individual immediately before the applicable Closing Date, save as otherwise required or sufficient to comply with Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations), in respect of any Other Business Employee who is on a short-term disability, pregnancy, parental or other authorized leave of absence on the Closing Date, the effective date of employment shall not be the Closing Date but rather the terms of an offer made to any such Other Business Employee shall specify that the offer is conditional upon the Other Business Employee returning to active employment and the date on which such employee returns to active employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall be the effective date of employment. Until such Other Business Employee accepts Buyer or its Affiliate’s offer of employment, as applicable, and reports to active employment (the date that such Other Business Employee reports to active employment being the “Deferred Hire Date”), he or she shall remain in Seller’s or its Affiliate’s employ and continue to participate in Seller’s or its Affiliate’s Benefit Plans and Seller or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall retain all Liabilities in respect of such Other Business Employee until the Deferred Hire Date. Each Other Business Employee who accepts such offer of employment and commences employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer or

transfers under the Transfer Regulations is referred to as a “Transferred Other Employee.” For a period of at least 12 months following the Closing Date, and subject to Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations) to the extent relevant, Buyer covenants and agrees that each Transferred Other Employee’s rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date shall not be reduced; provided that this provision shall not preclude Buyer’s implementation of any reduced hours arrangement, furlough program or similar arrangements to the extent Transferred Other Employees are treated no less favorably then similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates. No provision in this Agreement shall (i) give any Other Business Employee any right to continued employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer or impair in any way the right of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer to terminate or change the terms of the employment (other than the rate of base salary, wages or other base compensation as provided above) of any employee, including any Transferred Other Employee, after the Closing Date or (ii) preclude Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer from altering, amending or terminating any of its employee benefit plans (including any Assumed Plan), or the participation of any of its employees in such plans, at any time. To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations), Seller or its applicable Affiliate shall terminate the employment of all Other Business Employees actively at work as of immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 9.05. Benefits Obligations. (a) Seller’s Obligations. With respect to each Benefit Plan under which benefits are provided to Canadian Business Employees and Irish Business Employees, Seller and its Affiliates shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, administer each such Benefit Plan in all material respects in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law. Seller shall retain the obligation and Liability for any workers’ compensation, occupation disease or illness or similar workers’ protection claims with respect to each Canadian Business Employee and Irish Business Employee, reported on or prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer’s Obligations. With respect to each Transferred Canadian Employee and each Irish Business Employee, Buyer shall recognize all service with Seller or its Affiliates for purposes of those employee benefits plans maintained or provided by the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer in which the Transferred Canadian Employees or the Irish Business Employees are enrolled by Buyer after the Closing Date (other than a defined benefit pension plan), to the extent the recognition of such service credit affects the provision of benefits under such plans; provided that no service credit will be granted to the extent that any duplication of benefits results. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the waiver of any waiting periods, exclusions or limitations with respect to any pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability or good health or actively-at-work restrictions under any of its or any Buyer Affiliate’s health and welfare plans in which Transferred Canadian Employees or the Irish Business Employees (or each of their dependents or beneficiaries) are or will be enrolled (except to the extent that such a waiting period, exclusion or limitation was in

effect and was not satisfied under the Benefit Plan in which such employee, dependent or beneficiary was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing Date). Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide that any costs or expenses incurred by the Transferred Canadian Employees and the Irish Business Employees (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) under the health and welfare benefit plans in which the Transferred Canadian Employees and the Irish Business Employees are enrolled with respect to the plan year that includes the Closing Date, up to (and including) the Closing Date, shall be specifically applied for purposes of satisfying any similar deductible, co-payment, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket provisions and like adjustments or limitations on coverage under any such health and welfare plans. Buyer shall be responsible for all obligations and Liability for any workers’ compensation, occupational disease or illness or similar workers’ protection claims with respect to each Transferred Canadian Employee and Irish Business Employee, reported after the Closing Date, regardless of whether the events giving rise to such claims occurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller hereby agree that on or before, or as soon as reasonably practicable following, the Closing Date legal responsibility for the Irish Benefit Plan shall be transferred to Buyer, or an Affiliate of Buyer, and Seller and the Buyer hereby agree to do all such things and execute all such documentation as is legally required to effect such a transfer and in particular (i) the execution of deed of substitution of principal employer of the Irish Benefit Plan to appoint the Buyer, or an Affiliate of Buyer as the principal employer of the Irish Benefit Plan; (ii) (where the Buyer deems this necessary) the removal of the existing trustees of the Irish Benefit Plan to be replaced by such persons as the Buyer in its absolute discretion shall decide; (iii) to make all necessary notifications to the Irish Revenue Commissioners, the Pensions Board and the members of the Irish Benefit Plan where appropriate; and (iv) the assignment of any relevant insurance policies in respect of Irish Business Employees to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 9.06. Indemnity. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates from any and all Damages incurred on or after the Closing Date as a result of, arising out of, or in connection with the Canadian Business Employees, the Irish Business Employees and the Other Business Employees before the Closing Date in respect of any breach of the information and consultation provisions of any Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations) by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from any and all Damages incurred on or after the Closing Date as a result of, arising out of, or in connection with the Canadian Business Employees, the Irish Business Employees and the Other Business Employees before the Closing Date in respect of any breach of the information and consultation provisions of any Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations) by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, honor, pay, perform and satisfy any and all Liabilities, obligations and responsibilities to, or in respect of, any breach of Applicable Law (including the Transfer Regulations) by Buyer or any Affiliate

arising on or after the Closing Date with respect to the Canadian Business Employees, the Irish Business Employees and Other Business Employees. The indemnity provided in this Section 9.06 shall not duplicate any obligation of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, pursuant to Article 11, and shall be governed by the provisions of such Article 11 to the extent applicable.

Section 9.07. Transferred Employees. Each Transferred U.S. Employee, Transferred Canadian Employee, Irish Business Employee and Transferred Other Employee is referred to as a “Transferred Employee,” and all such employees collectively are referred to as “Transferred Employees.”

Section 9.08. Consultations. Seller and the Affiliates of Seller shall take all steps, on a timely basis, as are required by Applicable Law to notify, consult with, or negotiate the effect, impact, terms or timing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with each works council, union, labor organization, employee representative group, employee, Person or Governmental Authority prior to the Closing. Neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall inform, notify, represent, imply or communicate in any way to any works council, union, labor organization, employee representative group, employee, Person or Governmental Authority that any particular Applicable Law applies or does not apply in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Transfer Regulations or any other legislation dealing with the transfer by operation of law of the employment of employees from one employer to another, save where otherwise agreed by Seller and Buyer in writing that the Transfer Regulations do apply.

Section 9.09. Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to reasonably cooperate) with each other and with each other’s agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with any Legal Proceeding as a result of, in connection with or with respect to Buyer’s assumption of Liabilities under Sections 2.03(e) through 2.03(g).

Section 9.10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 13.05, no provision of this Article shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of Seller or of any of its Affiliates in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) with either Buyer or the Business or any of their respective Affiliates and no provision of this Article 9 shall create any such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Benefit Plan or any plan or arrangement that may be established by Buyer or any of its Affiliates. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on rights to amend, modify or terminate after the Closing Date any such plans or arrangements of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, except with respect to the period during which and the level at which compensation and benefits have been agreed to be provided to Transferred Employees under this Article 9.

(i) any inaccuracy in, misrepresentation or breach of warranty (each such inaccuracy in, misrepresentation and breach of warranty, a “Warranty Breach”) made by Seller pursuant to this Agreement (provided that the determination of whether there has been any inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach, and the calculation of Damages, shall be made without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifiers contained therein other than those qualifiers specified on Schedule 10.02(a)(ii) hereto);

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate liability of Seller under this Agreement with respect to Damages to Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under this Section 11.02 (other than under Section 11.02(a)(v) and Section 11.02(a)(vi) for which the following limitation shall not apply) shall not be in excess of the total amount of the Purchase Price.

Section 11.04. Damages Net of Insurance, Etc. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.06, 11.02 or 11.03 shall be net of (i) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third party, (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement actually received by the Indemnified Party as an offset against such Damages (each Person named in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Collateral Source”), net of all costs and expenses actually incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with recovering such Damages from the Collateral Source, and (iii) an amount equal to the present value of the net Tax benefit, if any, attributable to such Damages. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from all Collateral Sources; provided that commercially reasonable efforts will not require the Indemnified Party to pursue litigation against any insurance carrier, customer, supplier, employee, officer, or Affiliate. If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under Section 8.06, 11.02 or 11.03 is received by an Indemnified Party after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 11, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party (net of all costs and expenses actually incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with recovering such Damages from the Collateral Source), as soon as reasonably practical after the receipt from such Collateral Source of such payment, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article 11 had such Collateral Source payment been received by the Indemnified Party prior to or at the time of such indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party.

Section 11.05. Procedures; Third Party Claims. (a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 11.02, 11.03 or, with respect to this subsection (a) only, 11.07 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give notice to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Legal Proceeding in respect of which

indemnity may be sought under such Section promptly following any determination to assert such a claim, or as soon as reasonably practical after receipt of notice by the Indemnified Party of the assertion of such claim by a third party or the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding; provided that any failure or delay on the party of the Indemnified Party to give such notice to the Indemnifying Party will not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to recover on or under any such Legal Proceeding unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, any Legal Proceeding brought by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”); provided that the Indemnifying Party will only be entitled to assume and conduct the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent that (i) the Third Party Claim does not primarily seek non-monetary relief and (ii) prior to the commencement of such Third Party Claim, the applicable cap on recovery by the Indemnified Party has not been exceeded . If the Indemnifying Party elects to conduct and control any Third-Party Claim, it shall, within 30 days of receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to conduct and control any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may conduct and control any Third-Party Claim and keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such Legal Proceeding which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control or conduct the defense or prosecution of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall nevertheless keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the right to participate in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.05(b) to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim unless the settlement or compromise involves only the payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.05(b) to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim.

(c) The parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention and the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim and (ii) the making available of employees on a mutually convenient

basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Section 11.06. Calculation of Damages. Except with respect to Damages payable to a third party in connection with a Third-Party Claim, in no event shall any party or its Affiliates be liable under this Article 11 for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages or damages for lost profits arising out of its performance or non-performance of any provision of this Agreement regardless of the nature of the claim or whether such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Section 11.07. Environmental Indemnity for Transferred New York Tower Sites. Seller agrees that if any Buyer Indemnitee incurs or suffers Damages relating to the Transferred New York Tower Sites (“Buyer Environmental Damages”) for which Seller is reasonably likely to have a claim for indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 9.6 of the Com-Net Agreement (the “Com-Net Indemnity”), upon receipt of written request of Buyer, Seller shall seek to assign to such Buyer Indemnitee its rights to such Com-Net Indemnity with respect to such Buyer Environmental Damages. If Seller is able to assign such rights, Seller shall have no further obligations with respect to such Buyer Environmental Damages, except with respect to any such Buyer Environmental Damages otherwise subject to indemnification under Section 11.02 or as provided in the last sentence of this Section 11.07. If Seller is not able to procure such assignment, Seller agrees to directly pursue the Com-Net Indemnity with respect to such Buyer Environmental Damages and Seller shall indemnify Buyer Indemnitee for such Buyer Environmental Damages to the extent it received payment therefor under the Com-Net Indemnity. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Buyer’s or Seller’s claim, as applicable, under the Com-Net Indemnity is not successful with regard to any Buyer Environmental Damages, then each of Buyer and Seller shall continue to have whatever rights and obligations relating to such Buyer Environmental Damages it would otherwise have pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.08. Environmental Procedures. With respect to any claims involving the investigation, remediation, removal, corrective action, containment, monitoring or other response action relating to the existence of environmental contamination, including claims made under Section 11.02(a)(i) with respect to Section 3.19, under Section 11.02(a)(v) with respect to any Excluded Environmental Liability, under Section 11.03(c) or (d) with respect to environmental matters or under Section 11.07 (collectively, “Environmental Claims”), Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, shall act in a Commercially Reasonable Manner. Seller shall have no obligation for any Damages arising out of any Environmental Claim to the extent such Damages result from or are the consequence, in whole or in part, of any intrusive sampling, testing or monitoring of soil or groundwater performed by or on behalf of Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, unless (and only to the extent) such action is (a) required by an Environmental Law, order, injunction,

decree or ruling of any Governmental Authority or a Permit in effect at the time such action is taken; (b) subject to Section 11.05, reasonably necessary in connection with the defense or resolution of a Third-Party Claim; (c) reasonably necessary to investigate conditions that indicate an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health as reasonably determined by Buyer; (d) required pursuant to any applicable Real Property Lease as in effect as of the Closing Date or, if less restrictive, as amended thereafter; (e) reasonably necessary to obtain financing or a mortgage, or in connection with a potential sale of any Real Property or the Business; (f) conducted in connection with construction or maintenance projects at any Real Property provided that such projects serve a legitimate business purpose unrelated to conducting intrusive sampling, testing or monitoring of the Environment for purposes of seeking indemnification hereunder; or (g) conducted in connection with properly maintaining any production or drinking water wells that are the responsibility of Buyer and that exist at any Real Property on the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller agree that, with respect to any Environmental Claim arising out of a Release of any Hazardous Substance, the issuance of a no further action letter or the equivalent indicia of completion issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Releases or remediation (“NFA Letter”) shall fully resolve any investigation, remediation, removal, corrective action, containment, monitoring or other response obligation of Seller with respect to such Environmental Claim and such Release; provided, that this sentence shall not apply to the extent any Environmental Claim arising out of a claim brought by any third party is not settled as a result of the receipt of an NFA Letter; provided, further, that Seller may not invoke the receipt of the NFA Letter as a reason to avoid fulfilling any remaining obligations with respect to such Environmental Claim in the event (x) the NFA Letter contains re-openers or other provisions that reserve the right of the issuing Governmental Authority to require additional investigation, remediation, removal, corrective action, containment, monitoring or other response action with respect to Hazardous Substances (“Re-Opener”), (y) the Re-Opener is not triggered through any action or omission of Buyer, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives (other than any action described in clauses (a) through (g) of this Section 11.08) and (z) in the case of any Environmental Claim made under Section 11.02(a)(i), the Re-Opener is triggered before the fifth anniversary of the NFA Letter. In no event shall Seller be obligated to pay any Damages arising out of any Environmental Claim to the extent such Damages arise due to a change in the use of the relevant Real Property to any use other than commercial or industrial use after the Closing Date.

Section 11.09. Parent Guarantee. Immediately prior to the occurrence of a Guarantee Trigger Event, Seller Parent, on behalf of itself and its permitted successors and assigns, shall enter into a guarantee in favor of Buyer and each Buyer Indemnitee in respect of each and every covenant, agreement and other obligation in effect at such time of Seller and/or any of its Affiliates and permitted assigns under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document in substantially the form attached as Exhibit G hereto. For purposes of this Section 11.09, a “Guarantee Trigger Event” means (a) Seller ceasing to hold, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the ownership interests in all of the material

100

operating subsidiaries that are material to Seller Parent’s consolidated financial results taken as a whole and held, directly or indirectly, by Seller Parent, as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Operating Subsidiaries”) or (b) the taking of any action by Seller Parent that results in Seller Parent owning, directly or indirectly, any Operating Subsidiaries other than through its ownership of its equity interest of Seller (or in other words if Seller will cease to own directly or indirectly all of the Operating Subsidiaries owned indirectly or directly by Seller Parent).

Section 11.10. Exclusive Remedy/Waiver. The parties acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, Article 8 and this Article 11 shall provide the exclusive remedy for any party for any type of claim for which such party is indemnified pursuant to Article 8 or this Article 11. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereby waive, effective upon the occurrence of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to any Environmental Law or any Hazardous Substance) for breach of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing shall not apply to any deliberate breach of this Agreement by Buyer or Seller or to claims for specific performance or injunctive relief or claims based on fraud.

ARTICLE 12
TERMINATION

Section 12.01. Grounds for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Seller and Buyer;

(b) by either Seller or Buyer if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before the nine-month anniversary of the date hereof (unless the failure to consummate the Closing by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to have fulfilled any of its obligations under this Agreement);

(c) by either Seller or Buyer if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction;

(d) by Buyer if any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement are inaccurate or untrue to the extent that any such inaccuracy or untruth would cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 10.02(a)(ii) or if Seller has failed to discharge and fulfill any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement to the extent that any such failure would

101

cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 10.02(a)(i), and, if such inaccuracy or failure is capable of being cured, such inaccuracy or failure has not been cured within 30 days after written notice of such failure, inaccuracy or untruth has been given to Seller; or

(e) by Seller if any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement are inaccurate or untrue to the extent that any such inaccuracy or untruth would cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 10.03(a)(ii) or if Buyer has failed to discharge and fulfill any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement to the extent that any such failure would cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 10.03(a)(i), and, if such inaccuracy or failure is capable of being cured, such inaccuracy or failure has not been cured within 30 days after written notice of such failure, inaccuracy or untruth has been given to Buyer.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 12.01(b) – (e) shall give notice of such termination to the other party.

Section 12.02. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 12.01, such termination shall be without liability of either party (or any stockholder or Representative of such party) to the other party to this Agreement; provided that if such termination shall result from the (i) willful failure of either party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other party, (ii) failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement or (iii) willful breach by either party hereto of any representation or warranty contained herein, such party shall be fully liable for any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure or breach. The provisions of Sections 6.01, 13.04, 13.06, 13.07, 13.08, 13.09, 13.10, 13.12, 13.13, 13.14, and this Section 12.02 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 12.01.
