Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On September 16, 2002, the Registrant issued a press release, which is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, announcing that on that date, the Registrant completed its purchase of certain assets and liabilities of Philips Broadband Networks("PBN") from Royal Philips Electronics N.V., under the terms previously announced on July 8, 2002. PBN is a provider of broadband products, including transmission products, network optimizing technologies, and element management systems. PBN is supported by sales and services organizations worldwide, with a strong customer base in Europe and the Asia Pacific region. The purchase includes assets in various countries, cable infrastructure products, and a design and production facility in Manlius, New York. These assets and the facility became part of our Broadband Communications Products Division. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately 80.0 million Euros, subject to certain adjustments. The closing took place on September 16, 2002 with an effective date of the acquisition of August 26, 2002. The results of operations of PBN will be included in the Registrant's consolidated financial statements as of August 26, 2002. At closing on September 16, 2002, the Registrant made an initial payment of 75.0 million Euros, with any subsequent payments subject to certain adjustments. The nature and amount of consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was determined based on arms length negotiations between the Registrant and Royal Philips Electronics N.V., and the Registrant used its available working capital to fund the acquisition. The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase. Any excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of the acquired net assets of the business will be recorded as goodwill. Assets acquired by the Registrant consist primarily of inventory, fixed assets, contractual rights and obligations, intellectual property and equipment which were used by PBN in its global operations and the capital stock of Philips Broadband Networks, Inc. The Registrant will continue to use such assets in the same manner as the assets were used by PBN. Item 7.

Each Relocation Employee not placed by Seller in a position, which is not a part of the Business, with Seller or one of its Affiliates may be terminated and all severance payments and costs and liabilities (personnel and non-personnel) of any nature incurred as a result of such terminations shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. Section 5.3 Other Covenants. --------------- (a) Confidentiality. --------------- (i) Purchaser acknowledges that the information being provided to it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement between Purchaser and Seller (the "Confidentiality Agreement"), the terms of which are ------------------------- incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to information relating solely to the Business; provided, -------- however, that Purchaser acknowledges that, to the extent ------- applicable, any information provided to it by Seller, any Seller or any Local Seller or any of their officers, directors, employees, advisors or representatives concerning -38- Seller, PENAC or any Local Seller shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the date of the relevant Closing. (ii) Seller, PENAC and the Local Sellers shall keep confidential, and cause their Affiliates and officers, directors, employees, advisors and representatives to keep confidential, all confidential information primarily relating to the Business except (x) as required by Law or administrative process (provided that Seller, PENAC or the Local Sellers shall provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such requirement so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order), (y) for confidential information that is available to the public on the date of the relevant Closing, or thereafter becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 5.3(a), and (z) for confidential information that becomes known or available to Seller, PENAC or the Local Sellers without restrictions of confidentiality from a source other than Purchaser, provided that such source is not bound by an agreement prohibiting such disclosure to Seller, PENAC or the Local Sellers. The covenant set forth in this Section 5.3(a) shall survive indefinitely after the Closing. (b) Covenant Not to Compete; Nonsolicitation. (i) Seller, PENAC and the Local Sellers understand that Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the Business to the extent permitted by Law and that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 5.3 and, therefore, for a period of three years from the Closing Date, Seller, PENAC and the Local Sellers shall not, and shall cause each of their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (x) engage in any Competing Business in any jurisdiction in the world in competition with the Business; or (y) solicit or encourage any employee of the Business whose base salary at the date hereof is in excess of $75,000 in the United States ($45,000 in the rest of the world) to leave the employment of the Business, except for a person who responds to a public advertisement which is not solely aimed at such employee or who is first approached when no longer an employee of the Business. (ii) Section 5.3(b)(i) shall be deemed not breached as a result of the ownership by Seller, PENAC or the Local Sellers or any of their Affiliates of: -39- (x) less than an aggregate of 10% of any class of stock of a person engaged, directly or indirectly, in the Competing Business; or (y) less than 10% in value of any instrument of indebtedness of a person engaged, directly or indirectly, in the Competing Business.

(y) acquiring the whole or any part of a person which carries on the Competing Business or the whole or any part of a business which includes the carrying on of the Competing Business, except that where more than 10% of the revenues of the person or of the business acquired as set out in the latest available audited accounts of that person or business consists of the Competing Business, Seller, PENAC or the Local Sellers shall use its reasonable efforts to dispose of such Competing Business as promptly as practicable; -40- (z) acquiring or holding any interest in any joint venture (whether incorporated or unincorporated), except where such joint venture is a subsidiary of Seller, PENAC or the Local Sellers; provided that less than 10% of the turnover or the income of such joint venture is generated, directly or indirectly, by the Competing Business. (iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the remedy of indemnity payments pursuant to Article VII and other remedies at law would be inadequate in the case of any breach of the covenants contained in Section 5.3(b)(i). Purchaser shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including the remedy of specific performance, with respect to any breach or attempted breach of such covenants. (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 5.3 shall not apply to any transaction in which a third party is acquiring a majority equity interest in Purchaser or Purchaser is transferring or is otherwise combining all or a substantial portion of its business to or with a third party (regardless of the form of such transaction), and this Section 5.3 shall not apply to the ultimate Seller company following such transaction and its Affiliates; provided, however, that the provisions of this -------- ------- Section 5.3 shall continue to apply to Seller, PENAC or the Local Sellers and their subsidiaries and their legal successors. In addition, this Section 5.3 shall not apply to the activities of any Non-U.S. Assets held by Seller, PENAC or the Local Sellers, the Closing for which has not occurred. (c) Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as ------------------ Purchaser, Seller, PENAC, any Local Seller or the Company actively is contesting or defending against any charge, complaint, suit, hearing or investigation of a third party in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement, (ii) any fact, circumstance, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company or the Business or (iii) with respect to the NTL Paris Agreement, all Parties will cooperate, and Seller shall cause the Local Sellers to cooperate and Purchaser shall cause its Affiliates to cooperate with such Party and such Party's counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party except to the extent the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor hereunder.

Seller shall cause PHUSA to make a joint -------- election with Purchaser under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to the purchase of the Company Shares and under any similar provisions of state or foreign law. Such elections shall apply to the Company and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to each corporate subsidiary of the Company that is a member of Seller Group.

If the election is made, Seller and Purchaser shall, within 90 days after the Closing Date, exchange completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 8023, required schedules thereto, and any similar state and foreign forms. If any changes are required in these forms as a result of information which is first available after the Closing Date, the parties will promptly agree on such changes. (B) Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller and Purchaser will ---------------------------- agree to a purchase price for Tax purposes under the terms set forth in this Agreement and an allocation of that price among the Company Shares and the Non-U.S. Assets in a manner consistent with the allocation of Purchase Price set forth in Schedule 2.1 (Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in the preparation and finalization of such Schedule prior to the Closing Date). If an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code is made, Seller and Purchaser shall further agree as to the amounts of "ADSP" and of "AGUB" (as such terms are ---- ---- defined for purposes of Section 338(h)(10) of the Code) and to an allocation of the ADSP and AGUB among the assets of the Company that are deemed to have been acquired pursuant to elections made by Seller and Purchaser under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code or under any state or foreign law equivalent. Purchaser and Seller shall use the asset values determined from such allocation for purposes of all reports and returns with respect to Taxes, including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 or any equivalent statement. Seller and Purchaser shall submit any dispute as to the proper method of allocation to an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing selected by Seller and Purchaser, which firm shall not be the regular accounting firm of Seller or Purchaser.

(ii) Liability for Taxes and Related Matters. --------------------------------------- (A) Liability for Taxes. Seller shall be liable for and ------------------- indemnify Purchaser for all Taxes (including any obligation to contribute to the payment of a tax determined on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis with respect to a group of corporations that includes or included the Company and Taxes resulting from the Company ceasing to be a member of the Seller Group, or attributable to the election to be made under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any state or foreign law equivalents (including for this purpose a recognition by any such jurisdiction of an election under Section 338(g) but not Section 338(h)(10) of the Code)), (a) imposed on the Seller Group (or any member thereof other than the Company) for any taxable year, (b) imposed on the Company or for which the Company may otherwise be liable for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any taxable year or period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such taxable year ending on and including the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes of the Company received by the Company, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates for such periods. (B) Purchaser shall be liable for and indemnify Seller for the Taxes of the Company for any taxable year or period that begins after the Closing Date and, with respect to any taxable year or period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such taxable year beginning after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes of the Company received by the Seller or any of its Affiliates for such periods. (iii) Taxes for Short Taxable Year. For purposes of paragraphs (ii)(A) and (B), whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company for a portion -44- of a taxable year or period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date, the determination of the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the year or period ending on, and the portion of the year or period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Company had a taxable year or period which ended at the close of the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned on a time basis. (iv) Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any payment by ---------------------------- Purchaser or Seller under this Section 5.3(e) will be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price determined for Tax purposes and allocated in a manner consistent with the allocations made pursuant to Section 5.3(e)(i)(B) of this Agreement. (v) Tax Returns. Seller shall file or cause to be filed ----------- when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date and shall pay any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns, and Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for taxable years or periods ending after the Closing Date and shall remit any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Seller shall pay Purchaser the Taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 5.3(e)(ii)(A) (but which are payable with Tax Returns to be filed by Purchaser pursuant to the previous sentence) no later than 10 days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Returns. (vi) Contest Provisions. Purchaser shall promptly notify ------------------ Seller in writing upon receipt by Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or the Company of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign income or franchise tax audits or assessments which may materially affect the tax liabilities of the Company for which Seller would be required to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.3(e)(ii)(A). Seller shall have the sole right to represent the Company's interests in any tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any claim for Taxes which would adversely affect the liability for Taxes of Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates for any period after the Closing Date to any extent (including, but not limited to, the imposition of income tax deficiencies, the reduction of asset basis or cost adjustments, the lengthening of any amortization or depreciation periods, the denial of amortization or depreciation deductions, or the reduction of loss or credit carryforwards) without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Such consent shall not be unreasonably -45- withheld, and shall not be necessary to the extent that Seller has indemnified Purchaser against the effects of any such settlement. Seller shall be entitled to participate at its expense in the defense of any claim for Taxes for a year or period ending after the Closing Date which may be the subject of indemnification by Seller pursuant to Section 5.3(e)(ii)(A) and, at its sole expense and with the written consent of Purchaser, may assume the entire defense of such tax claim. Neither Purchaser nor the Company may agree to settle any tax claim for the portion of the year or period ending on the Closing Date which may be the subject of indemnification by Seller under Section 5.3(e)(ii)(A) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (vii) Transfer Taxes. Seller shall be liable for all -------------- transfer taxes arising from the sale of the Company Shares. Purchaser and Seller shall evenly split all transfer taxes (including, without limitation, stamp duties and real estate transfer tax) arising from the sale of the Non-U.S. Assets. In the event any transaction pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is subject to value added tax ("VAT"), --- such VAT shall be borne by Purchaser. The Parties consider that the transfers of the Non-U.S. Assets in each relevant jurisdiction should be treated as a transfer of going concern exempt from VAT. If, however, such transfers are subject to VAT in a jurisdiction, Seller shall invoice such VAT to Purchaser or its Affiliate and Purchaser or its Affiliate, as the case may be, shall pay to Seller in immediately available funds within 10 business days of receipt of Seller's invoice the total amount of such VAT. The parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, cooperate and take all commercially reasonable actions to minimize VAT required to be paid for the transfer of the Non-U.S. Assets, including filing applications to the applicable VAT authorities to obtain an exemption for VAT or a refund of any VAT which has been paid. (viii) Assistance and Cooperation.

After the expiration of such period, no such Books and Records shall be destroyed by Purchaser without first advising Seller in writing and giving Seller or the Local Sellers a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof, any costs of transferring such Books and Records to be paid by Seller. (g) Access to Seller Books and Records. Following the Closing, ---------------------------------- if required by Purchaser or the Company in connection with any Tax Return, the preparation of tax filings, or financial reporting and Seller agrees, and shall cause its Affiliates and the Local Sellers to agree, to use reasonable efforts to provide or arrange access to all relevant books and financial records of Seller directly relating to the Company and the Business prior to the Closing and, to the extent the information contained therein is not also contained in the Books and Records transferred to Purchaser at the Closing, shall allow Purchaser or the Company, on such reasonable terms and conditions determined by Seller, to make and keep copies of the portions of such books and financial records directly related to the Business prior to the Closing at Purchaser's sole expense; provided that (in addition to any such terms and conditions -------- established by Seller) any information contained in such books and financial records which does not relate to the Company and the Business prior to the Closing need not be made available and in the event of disclosure shall remain and be treated as confidential by Purchaser and the Company in accordance with the terms applicable to confidential information set forth in Section 5.2(g).

Without affecting the terms of this ------------------ Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, at any time after the Closing Date, -47- Seller and Purchaser shall, and Seller shall cause the Local Sellers to promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, any other assurances or documents reasonably requested by Seller, the Local Sellers, Purchaser or its designees, as the case may be, and necessary for Seller, the Local Sellers, Purchaser or its designees, as the case may be, to give effect to this Agreement, including such additional instruments of conveyance and transfer as Purchaser may reasonably request or may otherwise be reasonably necessary to more effectively convey or transfer to, or invest in, Purchaser or put Purchaser in possession of, any of the Non-US Assets. Purchaser shall permit Seller reasonable access at reasonable times and following reasonable notice to the records or employees of the Business as required by Seller to perform its obligations under the NTL Paris Agreement. (i) Equitable Assignment. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to Purchaser or its designee, as required hereunder, of any Non-U.S. Assets is prohibited by any applicable Law or would require any governmental or third party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers and such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, or (B) to the extent that Purchaser, following its reasonable best efforts to do so, is unable to establish prior to the Closing benefit arrangements for Non-U.S. Employees in a particular country or jurisdiction to replace the benefit arrangements maintained by Sellers with respect to such Non-U.S. Employees, and Sellers and Purchaser agree that, providing that Purchaser continues to use its reasonable best efforts to establish such arrangements following the Closing, the transfer of Non-U.S. Assets with respect to the Business employing such Non-U.S. Employees should be delayed until such benefit arrangements have been put in place, the Closing shall occur without any adjustment to the Purchase Price and this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, of that portion of such Non-U.S. Assets. Non-U.S. Assets and Non-U.S. Liabilities held by Seller and the Local Sellers for the benefit of Purchaser pursuant to this Section shall be included in the Final Statement of Net Operating Capital. (ii) Following the Closing, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers referenced in clause (i)(A) above and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to establish the benefit arrangements referred to in clause (i)(B); provided, -------- however, that none of Seller, the Company or Purchaser or any ------- of their Affiliates shall be required to make any payment -48- therefor, other than filing, recordation or similar fees payable to any governmental authority, which fees shall be paid by Purchaser. Pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements, to be effective from and after the Closing Date, designed to effectively transfer to Purchaser or its designee the rights and benefits of, and entitlements to exercise Seller's or each Local Seller's rights under, and effectively cause Purchaser to assume all liabilities and costs with respect to, such Non-U.S. Assets. Once such authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any Non-U.S. Assets not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered at the Closing is obtained, Seller shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver, or cause to be assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered, such Non-U.S. Assets to Purchaser or its designee for no additional consideration. To the extent that any such Non-U.S. Assets cannot or will not be transferred or the full benefits of, rights to use and liabilities of use of any such Non-U.S. Assets cannot be provided to Purchaser or its designee following the Closing pursuant to this Section 5.3(i), Purchaser, Seller, and the Company shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, enter into such arrangements, to be effective from and after the Closing Date, as permitted by law (including subleasing or subcontracting, if permitted) to provide to Purchaser the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the performance by Purchaser or its designee of the obligations thereunder and the effective transfer to Purchaser or its designee of the rights and benefits of, and entitlements to exercise Seller's or the Local Seller's rights under, and the effective assumption by Purchaser or its designee of all liabilities and costs with respect to, such Non-U.S. Assets. Seller and its Affiliates shall hold in trust for and pay to Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof such Non-U.S. Assets and all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with its use of any such Non-U.S. Assets in connection with the arrangements under this Section 5.3(i). Seller and its Affiliates shall be permitted to set off against such amounts any direct costs (it being understood that Seller does not waive any claim for indirect costs) associated with the retention and maintenance of such Non-U.S. Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and its Affiliates shall have no obligation whatsoever to retain any portion of the Business, other than any individual asset or Contract (but only until such time as the transfer thereof may be effected in accordance with this Agreement), in order to obtain any such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers referred to in this Section 5.3(i) or elsewhere in this Agreement. -49- (j) Seller and Purchaser Cooperation Regarding Payables and Receivables. (i) Any amounts (A) paid by Seller or any Local Seller to satisfy Accounts Payables which are Non-U.S. Liabilities after the Closing Date, and (B) received by Seller or a Local Seller in satisfaction of Accounts Receivable with respect to operation of the Business after the Closing Date (to the extent such amounts have not already been transferred to Purchaser), shall be determined by Seller every 30 days following the Closing Date on an ongoing basis by netting any such amounts paid with any such amounts received, as applicable, and such net amount shall be the "Seller Corrected Receivable and Payable Amount". (ii) Any amounts (A) paid by Purchaser or the Company in respect of any Seller business to satisfy Accounts Payables which are not Non-U.S. Liabilities and (B) received by Purchaser or the Company in satisfaction of Accounts Receivable in respect of any Seller business which do not comprise the Business, shall be determined by Purchaser every 30 days following the Closing Date on an ongoing basis by netting any such amounts paid with any such amounts received, as applicable, and such net amount shall be the "Purchaser Corrected Receivable and Payable Amount". (iii) On an ongoing basis following the Closing Date, unless otherwise agreed, Seller and Purchaser shall net and promptly settle as between each of them the Seller Corrected Receivable and Payable Amount and the Purchaser Corrected Receivable and Payable Amount. Purchaser's and Seller's obligations under subsections 5.3(b) through (j) shall terminate in all respects 12 months from the Closing Date except as otherwise expressly set forth in any of such Sections. (k) NTL Warranties. Purchaser shall provide warranty and -------------- repair services pursuant to the NTL Paris Agreement for and on behalf of Seller at actual cost reasonably documented and Purchaser and Seller agree to negotiate in good faith towards an agreement with respect to the performance by the Business following the Closing of any such warranty obligations or service. (l) Guarantees. As soon as practicable but no later than four ---------- weeks following the Closing Date, Purchaser will replace any performance bond, guarantee or similar instrument issued by Seller or its Affiliates on behalf of the Company or for the benefit of the Business (the "Instruments") with a ----------- performance bond, guarantee or similar instrument that releases or is capable of releasing Seller and its Affiliates from all its and their obligations under such Instruments. If a replacement of the Instruments is not possible for reasons beyond the control of Purchaser, Purchaser will, not later than four -50- weeks following the Closing Date, put in place an arrangement the effect of which will be that Seller or any of its Affiliates is released from its obligations under the Instruments. Section 5.4 Employee Relations and Benefits. ------------------------------- (a) The parties hereto intend that there shall be continuity of employment with respect to all Transferred Employees as follows; (i) where local employment laws provide for an automatic transfer of employees upon the transfer of a business as a going concern, the employment of the employees shall not be terminated upon the Closing and the rights, powers, duties, liabilities and obligations of Seller (or a Local Seller) to or in respect of the employees in respect of any contract of employment with the employees in force immediately before the Closing shall be transferred to Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates in accordance with those local employment laws, and (ii) where the local employment laws do not provide for the automatic transfer of employees upon the transfer of a business or part of a business as a going concern (or in any jurisdiction where the local employment laws do provide for the automatic transfer of employees upon the transfer of a business or part of a business as a going concern but for any reason any employee does not transfer by operation of law), Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates shall offer employment to the Transferred Employees commencing on the Closing Date or upon the return of any such Transferred Employee to active employment, provided that the terms of such employment may differ from base salary, benefits, location, position and other terms provided to such employees by Seller or a Local Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date (the "Current Employment Terms"). Purchaser shall cause such ------------------------ Transferred Employees who are U.S. Employees to be eligible to participate in such employee benefit plans of Purchaser in which similarly situated employees of Purchaser are generally eligible to participate, provided that nothing herein shall prevent Purchaser from terminating the employment of any such Transferred Employee or modifying or terminating such plans from time to time. Seller shall not engage in any activity intended to discourage any Transferred Employee from accepting an offer of employment from Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that Transferred Employees (other than Transferred Employees who have applied for a position outside the Business prior to the date hereof) will not be offered employment by businesses of Seller (other than the Business) after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller and its Affiliates shall be -------- ------- permitted to take any action they are legally required to take in order to comply with local employment laws. Nothing herein shall obligate Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to provide the Transferred Employees with the Current Employment Terms or retiree medical benefits unless required to do so by local laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, starting on the Closing Date, for purposes of determining severance pay, Purchaser shall give each Transferred Employee credit for service with Seller and severance pay equal to that of similarly situated persons within Purchaser. Purchaser shall comply with Applicable Employee Benefits Laws or other applicable local laws and regulations, with respect to the terms and -51- conditions of employment, including employee benefits, it offers to Non-U.S. Employees on and after the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees, in jurisdictions where applicable, to negotiate or consult in good faith with works counsel organizations or agencies with respect to the initial terms and conditions of employment of the Non-U.S. Employees. Purchaser contemplates offering initial compensation and benefit packages for Non-U.S. Employees which are comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and benefit packages provided by Seller prior to the Closing, provided however, that Purchaser reserves the right to vary the type and amount of particular benefits, to offer certain benefits and not to offer others, within the overall framework of providing a comparable initial compensation and benefit package consistent with the requirements of applicable local law. Purchaser and Seller agree that the foregoing shall not prevent Purchaser from terminating the employment of any such Non-U.S. Employees or modifying and/or terminating the compensation and benefit packages for such Non-U.S. Employees from time to time, subject to the requirements of applicable local Law. (b) Seller shall retain responsibility and liability for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee, or former employees of the Business, with respect to claims incurred by such Transferred Employees, or former employees of the Business or their respective covered dependents prior to the Closing Date except to the extent such liabilities are reflected in the Final Statement of Net Operating Capital. Seller and Purchaser agree that Purchaser shall assume none of said responsibilities or liabilities and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser with respect to any such liabilities. Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Transferred Employees or their covered dependents on or after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. For purposes of this paragraph, a claim is deemed incurred: in the case of medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of long-term disability benefits, when the disability occurs; and in the case of workers compensation benefits, when the event giving rise to the benefits occurs. (c) With respect to any plan that is a "welfare benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) maintained by Purchaser, Purchaser shall (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition and waiting periods and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, Transferred Employees with respect to similar plans maintained by Seller and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date. (d) For purposes of any eligibility and vesting requirements under the employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained or to be established by Purchaser in which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate, Purchaser shall ensure that service by such Transferred Employees with Seller shall be deemed to have been service with Purchaser. -52- (e) Except as required by applicable law or as may be agreed to by Seller and Purchaser, or as reflected otherwise in the Actuarial Memorandum, as of the Closing Date the Transferred Employees shall cease to accrue further benefits under the employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by Seller and its Affiliates and shall commence participation in the employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained or to be established by Purchaser. Seller shall take all necessary actions to fully vest the Transferred Employees in their account balances under the Philips Electronics North America Corporation Employee Savings Plan ("Seller's 401(k) Plan") or any other -------------------- qualified profit-sharing plan maintained by Seller and allow such Transferred Employees to rollover any associated loan notes to the extent permitted under the applicable Seller Plan. Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to permit each such Transferred Employee who has received an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from Seller's 401(k) Plan, if any, to roll such eligible rollover distribution, including any associated loans, as part of any lump sum distribution to the extent permitted by Seller's 401(k) Plan into an account under Purchaser's Employee Savings Plan ("Purchaser's 401(k) Plan"). With regard to Non-U.S. Employees, in the event of ----------------------- any conflict between the terms of the Actuarial Memorandum and the terms of this Section 5.4 and Section 5.5, the terms of the Actuarial Memorandum shall prevail. (f) With respect to any accrued but unused vacation time (including flexible time-off and sick pay) to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation policy applicable to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (the "Vacation Policy"), Purchaser shall --------------- assume the liability for such accrued vacation and allow such Transferred Employee to use such accrued vacation to the extent such liability is provided for in the Final Statement of Net Operating Capital. (g) Seller agrees to provide any required notice filings and payments under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ("WARN") ---- and any other applicable U.S. Law and to otherwise comply with any such statute with respect to any "plant closing" or "mass layoff" (as defined in WARN) or similar event affecting Transferred Employees and occurring on or prior to the Closing (other than employment terminations and other events resulting from the affirmative action of Purchaser or its Affiliates). Purchaser agrees to provide any required notice filings and payments under WARN and any other applicable U.S. Law and to otherwise comply with any such statute with respect to any "plant closing" or "mass layoff" (as defined in WARN) or similar event affecting Transferred Employees and occurring on or after the Closing. To the extent that Purchaser or Seller incurs obligations under WARN due to the combined actions of Seller and Purchaser (or their Affiliates), Seller and Purchaser agree to evenly split the costs incurred in complying with the obligations imposed by WARN. (h) (i) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Local Sellers with respect to any liability under COBRA or other applicable U.S. law, or pursuant to the requirements of Section 701 et seq. of ERISA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") arising ----- -53- from the actions (or inactions) of Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing Date. Seller shall retain all liabilities, including with respect to any Qualifying Event (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 54.4980B-4, Q&A-1), under COBRA, or pursuant to the requirements of Section 701 et seq. of ERISA or HIPAA, incurred on or prior to the Closing Date or arising as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether with respect to the Transferred Employees, former employees of the Company, or any of their dependents, and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser with respect to any such liabilities. (ii) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall pay any and all accruals owed with respect to Transferred Employees under the terms of any Seller Plan maintained in the U.S. (including any such Seller Plan with a "last day of the quarter" requirement) for any plan year that commenced prior to the Closing Date. (i) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and PENAC shall take all necessary steps to vest the Transferred Employees in their accrued benefit with respect to service up to the Closing Date under each of the Philips Electronics North America Corporation Pension Plan and the Philips Electronics North America Corporation Pension Plan for Hourly Employees (each, a "Seller Domestic Defined ----------------------- Benefit Plan"). Seller, PENAC and Purchaser agree that Purchaser shall succeed - ------------ to no obligations or liabilities of Seller, PENAC or the Company with respect to Transferred Employees, or any other former employees of the Business or their beneficiaries, under any Seller Domestic Defined Benefit Plan, and Seller and PENAC shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser with respect to such liabilities. (j) For a period of 24 months following the Closing Date, Seller, the Local Sellers, Purchaser and their Affiliates will reasonably cooperate in promoting the voluntary transfer of expatriate Transferred Employees in whose favor there exists return guarantees by Seller or any Local Seller, to the Purchaser's organization. (k) Following the execution of this Agreement, Seller will reasonably cooperate to provide to Purchaser (i) true and complete information regarding the name, current annual compensation rate (including bonuses and commissions), title, current base salary rate, accrued bonus, accrued sick leave, accrued severance pay and accrued vacation pay of each Transferred Employee and (ii) descriptive materials regarding each Benefit Plan sufficient to permit Purchaser to ascertain the level of benefits and other material terms and conditions of such Benefit Plans as they pertain to the Transferred Employees. (l) Schedule 5.4(l) sets forth the preliminary identities of the Transferred Employees, as identified by Seller based on information as of the date of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall agree on the employees to be listed on Schedule 5.4(l) as Transferred Employees. -54- Section 5.5 Non-U.S. Employees. ------------------ This Section 5.5 applies only to Non-U.S. Employees and former Non-U.S. Employees ("Non-U.S. Former Employees"). ------------------------- (a) Seller and Purchaser shall comply with all obligations either under the Transfer Regulations or other national laws to provide information to the other party for onward transmission to Non-U.S. Employees or employee representatives and/or to provide such information directly to Non-U.S. Employees or employee representatives. Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify each other against all Losses resulting from any failure to provide such information in a timely manner. (b) Seller shall indemnify and keep indemnified Purchaser against all Losses ("Purchaser Losses"), arising out of or in connection with ---------------- any claim by a Non-U.S. Employee (whether in contract or in tort or under statute for any remedy including for breach of contract, unfair dismissal, redundancy, statutory redundancy, equal pay, sex, race or disability discrimination, unlawful deductions from wages or for breach of statutory duty or of any nature) as a result of anything done or omitted to be done by Seller and its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date except to the extent that any such Losses are reflected in the Final Statement of Net Operating Capital. (c) Purchaser shall indemnify and keep indemnified Seller against all Losses ("Seller Losses"), arising out of or in connection with any ------------- claim by a Non-U.S. Employee (whether in contract or in tort or under statute for any remedy including for breach of contract, unfair dismissal, redundancy, statutory redundancy, equal pay, sex, race or disability discrimination, unlawful deductions from wages or for breach of statutory duty or of any nature) as a result of anything done or omitted to be done by Purchaser and its Affiliates arising prior to or following the Closing Date. (d) Schedule 5.5(d) describes certain information regarding Seller's defined benefit and defined contribution pension arrangements for Transferred Employees who are Non-U.S. Employees. These arrangements, plus similar arrangements provided by or contributed to by Seller in such other non-U.S. countries in which Transferred Employees are employed, are the "Seller ------ Foreign Pension Plans". Purchaser agrees to provide defined benefit and/or - --------------------- defined contribution pension arrangements for Transferred Employees following the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 5.4(a). With respect to this commitment, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows: (i) With respect to each funded Seller Foreign Pension Plan in which Transferred Employees may obtain a premium free policy for the provision of accrued benefits earned up until the Closing Date in accordance with the Actuarial Memorandum, Seller agrees to arrange to obtain such a policy on a fully paid-up basis and reflecting all pension obligations accrued based on service through the Closing Date. Such insurance policy(ies) shall be delivered to each applicable Transferred Employee for application toward the past service component of -55- the pension arrangement to be sponsored by Purchaser with respect to such Transferred Employee in accordance with the provisions of the Actuarial Memorandum. (ii) With respect to each Seller Foreign Pension Plan under which liabilities are reflected by means of a book reserve, and for which the provision of a paid-up insurance policy reflecting pre-Closing Date accrued benefits is not available, Seller will include in the local balance sheet an amount equal to the actuarial present value of accrued pension benefits as of the Closing Date, as calculated under the relevant local book reserve system, using, as applicable, the actuarial assumptions and other terms described in Schedule 5.5(d). (iii) With respect to each funded Seller Foreign Pension Plan not described in subparagraph (i) or (ii), if Purchaser chooses or is required by Applicable Employee Benefits Law to assume responsibility for the payment of the pension based on past service prior to the Closing Date, there shall be a transfer of assets and liabilities from the funding vehicle of the Seller Foreign Pension Plan to the funding vehicle of the successor plan established by Purchaser, with respect to the accrued benefits of Transferred Employees (whether or not vested) earned prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the Actuarial Memorandum. Assets shall be transferred in an amount equal to the actuarial present value of such liabilities, as determined under the terms and rules of the applicable fund and relevant local law, in accordance where applicable with the actuarial assumptions described in Schedule 5.5(d). Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate with each other to effectuate the intent of this Section 5.5(d). (e) Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against all Seller Losses which arise from the employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates of Non-U.S. Employees on or after the Closing Date or are attributable to any act, omission, breach or default by Purchaser or its Affiliates in relation to any of the Non-U.S. Employees. This shall include, but shall not be limited to Seller Losses arising out of the termination or dismissal of any Non-U.S. Employee after the Closing, any failure by Purchaser or its Affiliates to offer, in contravention of any applicable Law or regulation, any Non-U.S. Employee terms and conditions of employment and working conditions which are no less favorable than those which applied to the relevant Non-U.S. Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and any failure by Purchaser or its Affiliates to comply with its or their obligations under any local employment laws. Section 5.6 Insurance Matters. ----------------- (a) Purchaser acknowledges that the policies and insurance coverage maintained on behalf of the Business are part of the corporate -56- insurance program maintained by Seller (the "Seller Corporate Policies"), and such coverage will not be available or transferred to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees not to and to cause each of its Affiliate not to bring any claim for recovery under any of the Seller Corporate Policies, whether or not such Person may be so entitled in accordance with the terms of such Seller Corporate Policies. Furthermore, Purchaser agrees that if at any time in the future it shall sell, directly or indirectly, the shares of capital stock of any entity into which it transfers the Non-U.S. Assets or the Non-U.S. Liabilities, it shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the express agreement of the direct or indirect purchaser of such entity to the matters set forth in this Section 5.6. Seller agrees to make available to Purchaser such information, to the extent reasonably available, as shall be reasonably necessary for Purchaser to obtain insurance coverage for the Business. (b) To the extent that Seller has, prior to the date hereof, filed a claim under a Seller Corporate Policy (which, for purposes of clarity, shall not include any self-insurance policy or balance sheet reserve) or elects to file such a claim after the date hereof and (i) such claim primarily relates to a Loss incurred by the Business and (ii) Seller has not yet, as of the date hereof, recovered any amounts pursuant to such claim, Seller will pay to the Company any proceeds recovered from such claim, less the actual costs and expenses incurred by Seller in obtaining such recovery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor the Company may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VII hereof for Losses for which it has received such insurance proceeds. Section 5.7 Names Following Closings. ------------------------ (a) Purchaser acknowledges that the Philips name is and shall remain the property of Seller and that nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall transfer or shall operate as an agreement to transfer any right, title or interest in the Philips name to Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser.

Section 5.8 Special Dividend.

Section 7.4 Third Party Claim Indemnification Procedures. -------------------------------------------- Subject to Section 5.3(e) with respect to Taxes, with respect to third party claims, all claims for indemnification by any Person that may be entitled to indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") shall be asserted and ----------------- resolved as set forth in this Section 7.4. In the event that any written claim or demand for which a Party may be required to pay an indemnity hereunder (such Party, an "Indemnifying Party") is asserted against or sought to be collected ------------------ from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than 15 Business Days following such Indemnified Party's receipt of such claim or demand or knowledge thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) (the "Claim Notice"); ------------ provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the - -------- ------- indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have 45 Business Days from its receipt of the Claim Notice (the "Notice Period") to notify the Indemnified Party (a) whether or not ------------- the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim or demand and (b) whether or not it will defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the amount of such costs and expenses that shall be a - -------- ------- -61- liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII. Except as hereinafter provided, in the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it will defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense it may do so, provided that unless there is a conflict of interest or there shall exist additional defenses solely applicable to such Indemnified Party, (i) it shall comply with reasonable instructions from the Indemnifying Party, and (ii) its participation shall be at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle a claim or demand without the consent of the Indemnified Party to the extent a settlement imposes a material future, non-monetary obligation on the Indemnified Party, and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense and that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful (and the reasonable costs and expenses pertaining to such defense) shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII; provided that in any -------- case the Indemnified Party shall not settle a claim or demand without the consent of the Indemnifying Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the -------- ------- Indemnifying Party is not defending the relevant claim as permitted hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for Losses of the Indemnified Party as contemplated by this Article VII to the extent reasonably incurred in, and as the result of, a diligent defense by the Indemnified Party of such third party claim or demand. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall direct, control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party. Regardless of which Person assumes control of the defense of any claim, each Party shall cooperate and provide the other Party reasonable assistance in the defense thereof. Section 7.5 Computation of Losses Subject to Indemnification. ------------------------------------------------ Losses for which an Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be quantified on an after-Tax basis and otherwise determined net of: (i) any insurance proceeds recovered or recoverable by such Indemnified Party; (ii) indemnity payments to which such party or its Affiliates is entitled from parties other than the Indemnifying Party hereunder in respect of such matter; (iii) aggregate reserves reflected in the Final Statement of Net Operating Capital or adjustments to the Purchase Price which relate to the Loss being determined hereunder; and (iv) any other economic benefit (including any Tax savings and benefits of Tax losses and deferrals) realized by such party or its Affiliates by the receipt of cash, cash equivalents or other customarily quantifiable property by such party in respect of such matter, or any other direct demonstrable economic gain, except that with respect to Losses in the -62- nature of additional Taxes, (a) such economic benefit need not be in the form of cash, cash equivalents or customarily quantifiable property, and (b) with respect to adjustments relating to the timing of Tax deductions and similar items, such losses shall be limited to the time value of the Loss. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Losses shall not include any damages to the extent attributable to a failure to mitigate damages after the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates became aware of the event or omissions which caused such damages (it being understood that the concept of mitigation of damages shall be applied with regard to what is commercially reasonable under the circumstances). Section 7.6 Threshold for Recovery; Aggregate Limit on ------------------------------------------ Indemnity. Seller and PENAC shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser - --------- Indemnified Party, and Seller and PENAC shall not have any liability pursuant to this Article VII (a) for any individual items where the Loss relating thereto is less than EUR 25,000 and (b) unless the aggregate for all such Losses for which Seller and PENAC would, but for this clause (b), be liable thereunder exceeds EUR 2,400,000, and then only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such threshold, except for Losses relating to Excluded Liabilities which shall be recoverable in their entirety. The maximum aggregate liability of Seller (on behalf of itself and as agent for the Local Sellers) and PENAC to all Purchaser Indemnified Parties taken together for all Losses by all Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not exceed EUR 40,000,000; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no limitation of the maximum aggregate liability of Seller and PENAC to any Purchaser Indemnified Party relating to the Excluded Liabilities. Section 7.7 Knowledge . If prior to the Closing (i) Purchaser --------- has knowledge of any breach by Seller or PENAC of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement as a result of supplemental disclosure pursuant to Section 5.2(f), (ii) Seller or PENAC has specifically acknowledged in writing to Purchaser that the effect of such breach is a failure of any condition to Purchaser's obligations set forth in Article VI, and (iii) Purchaser does not terminate this contract pursuant to Section 8.1(f), Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such breach and Purchaser and its successors, assigns and Affiliates shall not be entitled to sue for damages or to assert any other right or remedy for any Losses arising from any matters relating to such condition or breach, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto. Section 7.8 Exclusive Remedy; Limitation on Liability. ----------------------------------------- Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise, Purchaser Indemnified Parties' sole and exclusive remedy against Seller, PENAC and the Local Sellers and Seller Indemnified Parties' sole and exclusive remedy against Purchaser and the Company, excluding claims prior to the Closing for specific performance of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or other equitable remedy and claims arising out of or relating to alleged fraudulent conduct, and subject always to any additional remedies contemplated in the Ancillary Agreements, shall be a claim for indemnification made pursuant to this Article VII. -63- Section 7.9 Recovery for Lost Profits. Subject to the other ------------------------- provisions of this Agreement, including Sections 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6 hereof, a Purchaser Indemnified Party may be entitled to recover pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof for any special, incidental or consequential damages (such as loss of anticipated profits, prospective profits or savings) directly related to a breach of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.13, 3.21, 3.25 and 3.30.
