The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into Articles, Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to any “Section” are to the corresponding Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

          (i) As promptly as possible, but in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Inventory Statement”) calculating the net book value of the Inventory as of the Closing Date (the “Inventory Amount”), which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and the policies and procedures as set forth in Section 3.16. After delivery of the Closing Inventory Statement, Seller shall be permitted reasonable access to review Buyer’s records used to prepare the Closing Inventory Statement. If Seller objects to the Closing Inventory Statement, then Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections to the calculation of the Inventory Amount in reasonable detail and stating Seller’s calculation of the amount believed by Seller in good faith to be correct. If Seller does not deliver such a statement within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Closing Inventory Statement, the Closing Inventory Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto.

If the parties do not reach a final resolution within fifteen (15) Business Days after the delivery of any objection statement, Seller and Buyer shall submit such dispute to an independent auditor. If any dispute is submitted to the independent auditor, each party will furnish to the independent auditor such work papers and other documents and information relating to the

-16-


 

disputed issues as the independent auditor may request and are available to that party. The independent auditor shall act as an auditor and not as an arbitrator and shall resolve matters in dispute and adjust and establish any disputed adjustment of the Purchase Price amount to reflect such resolution. It is the intent of Buyer and Seller that the process set forth in this Section 2.3(b) and the activities of the independent auditor in connection herewith are not intended to be and, in fact, are not arbitration and that no formal arbitration rules shall be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). The determination of the independent auditor shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto. The Closing Inventory Statement shall be modified if necessary to reflect such determination. The fees and expenses of the independent auditor shall be allocated to Buyer and Seller equally.
          (ii) If the Inventory Amount as finally determined is greater than Twenty-Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($27,500,000), Buyer shall make a cash payment to Seller in an amount equal to the amount of the excess over the Target Inventory Amount. If the Inventory Amount as finally determined is less than Twenty-Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($22,500,000), then Seller shall cause to be paid to Buyer a cash payment in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such shortfall from the Target Inventory Amount. The difference payable by either Buyer on the one hand or Seller on the other hand, shall be referred to herein as the “Inventory Adjustment Amount.” The Inventory Adjustment Amount shall be paid by the applicable party within ten (10) days after such amount is finally determined hereunder and calculated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
     (c) Contingent Payment.
          (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Payment Amount; provided, that in no event shall Buyer pay to Seller more than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) (the “Contingent Payment”).
          (ii) As promptly as possible, but in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the end of the Measurement Period, Buyer will deliver to Seller a statement (the “Contingent Payment Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Contingent Payment and reasonably supporting data for the calculation thereof.
          (iii) After delivery of the Contingent Payment Statement, Seller shall be permitted reasonable access to review Buyer’s records used to prepare the Contingent Payment Statement. If Seller objects to the Contingent Payment Statement, then Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth in writing its objections within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of the Contingent Payment Statement. If Seller does not deliver such a statement within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Contingent Payment Statement, the Contingent Payment Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve Seller’s objections with respect to the Contingent Payment Statement (and all such discussions related thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence (and any applicable similar state rule)). If the

-17-


 

parties do not reach a final resolution within fifteen (15) Business Days after the delivery of any objection statement, Seller and Buyer shall submit such dispute to an independent auditor to review the Contingent Payment Statement. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with the independent auditor, and Buyer shall provide the independent auditor access to such books and records of Buyer relating to the Measurement Amount used to calculate the Contingent Payment as may be reasonably necessary to permit a determination by the independent auditor of the accuracy of the Contingent Payment. The independent auditor shall act as an auditor and not as an arbitrator and shall resolve matters in dispute and adjust and establish the disputed Contingent Payment to reflect such resolution in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3(c) and deliver a report of its determination to Seller and Buyer (the “Auditor Contingent Payment Report”). The Auditor Contingent Payment Report shall be final and binding on Seller and Buyer. The fees and expenses of the independent auditor shall be allocated to Buyer and Seller equally.
          (iv) Buyer shall, within ten (10) days after such amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3 (c), make a cash payment to Seller in the amount of any Contingent Payment due hereunder and calculated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
          (v) During the Measurement Period, Buyer shall operate the Mobility Business relating to the Measurement Amount in the ordinary course of its business and in compliance with the policies set forth on Schedule 1.1(c).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Assumed Liabilities” means the liabilities and obligations set forth or described in paragraphs (a) through (f) below, whether or not any such liability or obligation has a value for accounting purposes or is carried or reflected on or specifically referred to in either Seller’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s books or financial statements:

     (c) Seller and Buyer intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a severance of employment of any Transferred Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and that such employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall provide severance benefits substantially equivalent to the benefits listed on Schedule 5.4(c) to Transferred Employees whose employment is terminated involuntarily by Buyer on or before December 31, 2008 other than terminations in circumstances that would not require payments of severance benefits under Seller’s severance plan.
     (d) Buyer agrees that its and its Affiliate’s health and Welfare Plans shall waive any pre-existing condition exclusion (to the extent such exclusion was waived under applicable health and Welfare Plans offered to the Transferred Employees by Seller or a Subsidiary) and any proof of insurability.

401(k) of the Code (the “Buyer Savings Plan”) to provide for the receipt of Transferred Employees’ lump sum cash distributions, in the form of an eligible rollover distribution from the Agere Systems Inc. Management 401(k) Plan, provided such rollovers are made at the election of the Transferred Employees and in accordance with the terms of the Buyer Savings Plan. Seller shall cause the Agere Systems Inc. Management 401(k) Plan to permit the Transferred Employees to elect a lump sum cash distribution of benefits accrued through the Closing Date in accordance with the Code.
     (f) Seller shall make and be responsible for incentive compensation payments, if any, to Transferred Employees for the period from October 1, 2006 to and including the Closing Date in accordance with its short-term incentive plan in effect for any such period.

Buyer will be responsible for providing any notification that may be required under the WARN Act with respect to any Transferred Employees terminated after the Closing Date.
     (h) Nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer or a Buyer Designee to employ any Business Employees, to employ any Transferred Employee on anything other than an at-will basis, terminable at any time with or without cause, or to assume any collective bargaining agreements under this Agreement.

Equipment”), or (c) remain the property of Seller or a Subsidiary as of the Closing Date (the “Excluded Leased Equipment”).
     (c) Promptly after the date hereof, Buyer shall identify the Leases that Buyer elects to be assumed pursuant to a Lease Assignment rather than subleased pursuant to a Sublease and the parties will revise Schedule 3.7 to reflect the same.
     5.6 Regulatory Compliance; Post-Closing Cooperation
     (a) Subject to Section 5.6(b), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable commercial efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable commercial efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all acts necessary to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Bodies and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Bodies, if any) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by any Governmental Body, (iii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties including all Required Consents, (iv) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Body vacated or reversed, and (v) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements.

Seller and Buyer agree that their respective initial filings under the HSR Act and in respect of any foreign antitrust approval shall be made no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of this Agreement. Each party shall furnish to the other such necessary information and assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any necessary filings or submissions by it to any U.S. federal or state or foreign or multinational governmental agency, including any filings necessary under the provisions of the HSR Act.

     (c) Buyer acknowledges that Seller is defending a legal proceeding as described in Schedule 3.9 relating to the Mobility Business (the “Retained Legal Proceeding”), and that Seller is retaining all liability and responsibility for, and control of, the Retained Legal Proceeding following the Closing Date. In connection with such proceeding, Buyer agrees (i) to use its reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate fully in the discovery and defense by Seller of the Retained Legal Proceeding by affording Seller and its representatives full and complete access to documents (as defined in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) and the Transferred Employees and (ii) to take such other actions reasonably requested by Seller (for which Seller does not have reasonably equivalent alternative) relating to the Purchased Assets and the Transferred Employees not determined by Buyer in its good faith judgment to materially and adversely impact Buyer.
     5.7 Contacts with Suppliers and Customers; Transfer of Information
     (a) Prior to the Closing, without the prior consent of Seller, Buyer shall not contact any suppliers to, or customers of, the Mobility Business in connection with or pertaining to any subject matter of this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements other than in the course of the conduct of Buyer’s businesses responding to customer inquiries by providing information about the subject matter of the Agreement or the Collateral Agreements previously approved by Seller. In contemplation of the Closing, Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate to prepare a communications plan for business partners of the Mobility Products Group, and in contacting any suppliers to, or customers of, the Mobility Business in connection with or pertaining to any subject matter of this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements and to facilitate the transition of the Mobility Business, including the preparation of letters to all customers, suppliers, distributors and other business partners of the Mobility Business to notify them of the Closing and provide information regarding the transition of the Mobility Business to Buyer.

     5.8 Use of the Seller Name
     (a) Buyer and Seller agree as follows:
          (i) Except as provided below, immediately after the Closing Date, Buyer and any Buyer Designee shall cease using “Agere,” “Agere Systems,” “LSI,” or “LSI Corporation”) or other similar mark (the “LSI Name”) and any other trademark, design or logo previously or currently used by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than those that are transferred pursuant to the Intellectual Property Agreement) in all invoices, letterhead, advertising and promotional materials, office forms or business cards;
          (ii) Except as provided below, within three (3) months after the Closing Date, Buyer shall (A) remove any other trademark, design or logo previously or currently used by Seller or any of its Affiliates from all buildings, signs and vehicles of the Mobility Business; and (B) cease using the Seller Name and any other trademark, design or logo previously or currently used by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than those that are transferred pursuant to the Intellectual Property Agreement) in electronic databases, web sites, product instructions, packaging (except as provided below) and other materials, printed or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Buyer Designees shall not be restricted in using any packaging materials that are in inventory as of the Closing Date;
          (iii) Buyer and Buyer Designees shall not be required at any time to remove the Seller Name and any other trademark, design or logo previously or currently used by Seller or any of its Affiliates from inventory of the Mobility Business that is in existence as of the Closing Date, nor shall Buyer nor Buyer Designees be required at any time to remove such Seller Name and any such other trademark, design or logo from schematics, plans, manuals, drawings, machinery, tooling including hand tools, and the like of the Mobility Business in existence as of the Closing Date to the extent that such instrumentalities are used in the ordinary internal conduct of the Mobility Business and are neither generally observed by the public nor intended for use as means to effectuate or enhance sales;
          (iv) Notwithstanding the above, Buyer and Buyer Designees shall have the right to sell existing inventory and to use existing packaging, labeling, containers, supplies, advertising materials, technical data sheets and any similar materials bearing the Seller Name or any other trademark, design or logo previously or currently used by Seller or any of its Affiliates until the earlier of (A) one year after the Closing Date or (B) the depletion of existing inventory;
          (v) Buyer and Buyer Designees shall use Reasonable Efforts (as defined below) to remove the Seller Name and any other trademark, design or logo previously or currently used by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than those that are transferred pursuant to the Intellectual Property Agreement) from those assets of the Mobility Business (such as, but not limited to, tools, molds, and machines) used in association with the products of the Mobility Business or otherwise reasonably used in the conduct of the Mobility Business

-49-


 

after the Closing. For the purposes of this Section 5.8(a)(v), “Reasonable Efforts” means Buyer and Buyer Designees shall remove the Seller Name from such assets but only at such time when such asset is not operated or otherwise is taken out of service in the normal course of business due to regular maintenance or repair (but only for such repairs or maintenance where such removal could normally be undertaken, for example, repair or maintenance of a mold cavity) whichever occurs first; provided that, in no event shall Buyer or any Buyer Designee use the Seller Name after the date which is one (1) year from the Closing Date. Buyer and Buyer Designees shall not be required to perform such removal on such assets that are not or are no longer used to manufacture the products of the Mobility Business or other parts, or if discontinuance of use of such assets is reasonably anticipated during such time period, or from assets stored during that period provided that such marks are removed upon such asset’s return to service or prior to their sale or other disposition.
          (vi) Seller hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer Designees a limited right to use the Seller Name and associated trademarks, designs and logos as specified in, and during the periods, if any, specified in clauses (i) – (v) above.
          (vii) Buyer and its Affiliates shall also have the right to use (in a factual manner that constitute fair use pursuant to applicable Law) the Seller Name solely to the extent necessary to communicate that the Products were formerly owned by Seller.
     (b) In no event shall Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer advertise or hold itself out as LSI or Agere or an Affiliate of Agere or LSI after the Closing Date.
     5.9 Non-Solicitation or Hiring of Transferred Employees
     None of Seller, any of its representatives or any of its Affiliates will at any time prior to the date which is one year after the date hereof, directly or indirectly, solicit the employment of or hire any Transferred Employee without Buyer’s prior written consent. The term “solicit the employment” shall not be deemed to include generalized searches for employees through media advertisements, employment firms or otherwise that are not focused on or directed to Transferred Employees. This restriction shall not apply to any employee whose employment is involuntarily terminated other than for cause by Buyer, or its successors, after the Closing.
     5.10 No Negotiation or Solicitation
     Prior to the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates will not (and Seller will take all action necessary to cause each of its employees, officers, representatives and agents or advisors not to and shall cause its Affiliates to cause employees, officers, representatives and agents or advisors not to) directly or indirectly (a) solicit, initiate, entertain, encourage or accept the submission of any proposal, offer or any discussions relating to or that might reasonably be expected to lead to or result in any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the direct or indirect acquisition of the Mobility Business or any portion of the Purchased Assets (other than purchases of Products or services from the Mobility Business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), or (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations

-50-


 

regarding the Mobility Business, furnish any information with respect thereto, or assist or participate in, or facilitate or encourage in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Seller will notify Buyer if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to any of the foregoing within one (1) Business Day after receipt of any such offer or proposal, including the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and all material terms thereof.
     5.11 Non-Competition
     (a) Seller agrees that, as part of the consideration for the payment of the Purchase Price, for a period of two (2) years immediately following the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, as a principal, stockholder, joint venturer, or otherwise, operate, perform or have any ownership interest in any business that engages in research and design, develops, manufactures, sells, installs or distributes products in competition with the Mobility Business, except that Seller may (i) purchase or otherwise acquire by merger, purchase of assets, stock, controlling interest or otherwise any Person or business or engage in any similar merger and acquisition activity with any Person the primary business of which is not in competition with the Mobility Business, or (ii) invest as a minority shareholder in any Person. For the purposes of this Section 5.11(a), ownership of securities of a company whose securities are publicly traded under a recognized securities exchange not in excess of 10% of any class of such securities shall not be considered to be competition with the Mobility Business, and a Person shall not be considered to be in the “primary business” of competing with the Mobility Business if such Person derives less than 20% of its revenues, up to a maximum aggregate amount of Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000), from products that compete with the Mobility Business. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the agreements and limitations set forth in this Section 5.11 shall not apply to any entity that acquires all or part of Seller in any transaction.
     (b) Seller acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in Section 5.11(a) constitute a material inducement to Buyer’s entering into and performing this Agreement. Seller further acknowledges, stipulates and agrees that a breach of such obligation could result in irreparable harm and continuing damage to Buyer for which there may be no adequate remedy at Law and further agrees that in the event of any breach of said obligation, Buyer may be entitled to injunctive relief and to such other relief as is proper under the circumstances.
     (c) If any provision contained in this Section shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 5.11, but this Section 5.11 shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent

-51-


 

jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 5.11 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.
     5.12 Post Closing Remittances
     If on or after the Closing Date, either Party receives a payment from a Third Party (including a customer of the Business) that, pursuant to the terms hereof, should have been paid to the other Party, the Party who receives the payment agrees to hold in trust and remit such payment to the Party entitled thereto within five (5) Business Days of such receipt.
     5.13 Prorations and Adjustments
     (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all ordinary course expenses for (i) rents and other charges or amounts payable included in the Purchased Assets and transferred to Buyer hereunder and (ii) gas, electricity, water, sewer, rent and telephone charges at the Leased Premises, in each case, for the period prior to the Closing Date, will be for the account of Seller and for the period on and after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer. If any Party actually makes any payments that are, in whole or in part, designated as payments for the period allocated to the other Party under this Section 5.13, such other Party shall promptly reimburse such amounts to the Party so making such payments.
     (b) For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to own the Purchased Assets, and, therefore be responsible for the expense thereof, as of 12:01 a.m. local time on the day after the Closing Date. All prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the month that shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date and based upon a 365-day year. The amount of the prorations shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available, and the Parties agree to cooperate and use their good faith efforts to make such adjustments.
     5.14 Post-Closing Warranty Arrangements.
     Seller shall satisfy all warranty obligations of the Mobility Business for products sold by the Mobility Products Group on or prior to the Closing Date as if the Mobility Business were continued to be owned by Seller. Buyer agrees that it shall perform warranty services with respect to such Products as requested by Seller at Seller’s cost and expense on terms to be mutually agreed.
     5.15 Financial Statements of the Business.
     (a) As soon as practicable, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Seller will provide to Buyer and its accounting advisors such financial information related to the Business as Buyer reasonably requests in writing to enable it to determine whether Buyer is or would be required to include separate financial

-52-


 

statements of the Business for any periods prior to Closing in the reports filed by Buyer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or in a registration statement filed by Buyer with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X; provided that Seller has such financial information in its possession or is able to derive such financial information from the books and records of Seller. The information so provided will include an internally prepared unaudited statement of revenues and direct operating expenses and a statement of acquired assets and liabilities as of and for the year ended September 30, 2006 (the “Financial Information”). The Financial Information will be certified by an officer of Seller that (i) the financial data reflected therein was derived from the books and records of Seller, (ii) the revenues of the Mobility Business reflected therein are presented on a basis consistent with GAAP and Seller’s standard accounting policies and procedures, and (iii) the costs reflected therein constitute the costs of Seller directly involved in and specifically identifiable to the revenue producing activity of the Mobility Business, as determined in the reasonable judgment of Seller and, as applicable, based on the allocation methodologies referenced in the notes to the Financial Information. Seller will also provide to Buyer and its accounting advisors a written explanation of Seller’s good faith determination that the preparation of a statement of operations and balance sheet of the Mobility Business for the year ended September 30, 2006 is impracticable.
     (b) Following delivery of the Financial Information to Buyer, Seller will provide to Buyer reasonable access to the records used by Seller, and Seller’s independent registered public accounting firm, will be available to address any questions of Buyer and Buyer’s accounting advisors pertaining to the Financial Information and the basis of preparation thereof.
     (c) If Buyer determines in good faith that Buyer is required to file the financial statements identified in this clause (c) with the SEC and Seller has delivered the explanation identified in Section 5.15(a), Buyer shall promptly file with the SEC a request for the SEC’s concurrence with filing certain abbreviated financial statements (such financial statements to include audited statement of revenues and direct operating and an audited statement of acquired assets and liabilities) in lieu of the full financial statements otherwise required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. Such abbreviated financial statements and such other information required by the SEC in response to the waiver letter are referred to herein as the “Audited Financial Statements”. Seller shall as promptly as practicable (i) retain its independent auditors to provide to Buyer the Audited Financial Statements, and (ii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such auditors to consent to the inclusion of such financial statements in the Buyer’s filings with the SEC, including on Form 8-K, Form 20-F (or any amendments thereto) or such other form reasonably determined by Buyer, including by providing such auditors with a reasonable and customary representation letter in connection therewith. In the event that Buyer is required to comply with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Seller will use its reasonable commercial efforts to assist Buyer and provide such financial information related to the Mobility Business as Buyer reasonably deems to be necessary to enable Buyer to comply with such regulation.

-53-


 

     (d) In the event that the SEC makes any review or inquiry to Buyer with respect to financial information of the Mobility Business, including any such inquiry regarding audited financial statements of the Mobility Business as set forth in Section 5.15(a), or requires any such audited financial statements to be filed, as promptly as practicable after being notified by Buyer of such review or inquiry, Seller will provide such reasonable cooperation and assistance as may be required by Buyer in responding to such review, inquiry or requirement in a manner consistent with this Section 5.15.
     5.16 Updates
     From time to time prior to the Closing Date, Seller will promptly notify Buyer of any fact, circumstance, change or effect arising that could reasonable be expected to constitute a material breach of a representation or warranty of Seller hereunder or would constitute a Seller Material Adverse Effect, or any action, claim, suit or investigation threatened against a party or the parties relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6. Confidential Nature of Information
     6.1 Confidentiality Agreement
     Buyer agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to (a) all documents, materials and other information that it shall have obtained regarding Seller or its Affiliates during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement), any investigations made in connection therewith and the preparation of this Agreement and related documents and (b) all analyses, reports, compilations, evaluations and other materials prepared by Buyer or its counsel, accountants or financial advisors that contain or otherwise reflect or are based upon, in whole or in part, any of the provided information; provided, however, that subject to Section 6.2(a), the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate as of the Closing and shall be of no further force and effect thereafter with respect to information of Seller or its Affiliates the ownership of which is transferred to Buyer or a Buyer Designee.

If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) is in the opinion of Buyer’s counsel compelled to disclose the Proprietary Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Buyer (or its Affiliate) may disclose only so much of the Proprietary Information to the party compelling disclosure as is required by Law.

If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller (or any of its Affiliates) is in the opinion of Seller’s counsel compelled to disclose the Proprietary Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Seller (or its Affiliate) may disclose only so much of the Proprietary Information to the party compelling disclosure as is required by Law.

     9.2 General Agreement to Indemnify
     (a) Seller and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party hereto, and Affiliates thereof, and any director, officer, employee or agent of such other party or Affiliates thereof (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, investigations of Governmental Bodies, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, Taxes, losses, and damages, amounts paid in settlement, interest, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party that arise by reason of, or result from (i) subject to Section 9.1, any breach or any failure of any representation or warranty of such

-60-


 

party contained in this Agreement to have been true when made and at and as of the Closing Date, or (ii) the breach by such party of any covenant or agreement of such party contained in this Agreement to the extent not waived by the other party.
     (b) Seller further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and any Buyer Indemnified Party from and against any Losses incurred by Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (i) the Excluded Liabilities and any failure of Seller to discharge any of the Excluded Liabilities; and (ii) Buyer’s waiver of any applicable Bulk Sales Laws.
     (c) Buyer further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any Seller Indemnified Party from and against any Losses incurred by Seller or any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (i) any failure of Buyer to discharge any of the Assumed Liabilities; (ii) any medical, health or disability claims of any Transferred Employee or such Transferred Employee’s employment with Buyer accruing after the Closing Date; and (iii) any claim, demand or liability for Taxes relating to, pertaining to, or arising out of the Mobility Business or the Purchased Assets for any Post-Closing Tax Period (other than Excluded Taxes).
     (d) Amounts payable in respect of the parties’ indemnification obligations shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) chooses to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim (as defined below), both parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith or as provided in Section 5.1, the costs thereof constituting Losses of an Indemnified Party in connection with an indemnifiable claim.
     (e) The amount of the Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Agreement shall be net of any applicable insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party. The indemnification obligations of each party hereto under this Article 9 shall inure to the benefit of the directors, officers and Affiliates of the other party hereto on the same terms as are applicable to such other party.
     (f) The Indemnifying Party’s liability for all claims made under Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for such claims pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of the Losses incurred shall exceed Four Million Five Hundred Thousand ($4,500,000) in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the full amount of such Losses, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party’s aggregate liability for all such claims shall not exceed Ninety Million Dollars ($90,000,000). The Indemnified Party may not make a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) after the expiration of the survival period specified in Section 9.1 in the absence of notification in writing (with reasonably sufficient detail so as to enable a Party to determine the basis of any such claim) by the Indemnified Party of such a claim, or basis therefore as a result of a Third Party Claim, prior to the expiration of such survival period.

-61-


 

     (g) The indemnification provided in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Date for damages available to the parties to this Agreement for breach of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein or any right, claim or action arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a party from bringing an action for (i) specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement or (ii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation.
     (h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall be liable to the other party for indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage (including any loss of revenue or profit) arising out of this Agreement, provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by the Indemnified Party in respect of Losses directly incurred from Third Party Claims (including, if applicable, punitive damages). Both parties shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate their damages.
     (i) The rights to indemnification under this Section 9.2 shall not be subject to set-off for any claim by the Indemnifying Party against any Indemnified Party, whether or not arising from the same event giving rise to such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.
     (j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article 9 shall not limit the indemnification obligations of an Indemnifying Party with respect to fraud or intentional misrepresentation.
     9.3 General Procedures for Indemnification
     (a) The Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall promptly notify the party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any audit or investigation of a Governmental Body, action, suit or proceeding by any Third Party, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and shall give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure). If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any claim, action, suit or proceeding (including an audit or investigation of a Governmental Body) by a Third Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third-Party Claim”), to assume the defense and control the settlement of such Third-Party Claim that (i) involves (and continues to involve) solely money damages, or (ii) involves (and continues to involve) claims for both money damages and equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that cannot be severed, where the claims for money damages are the primary claims asserted by the Third

-62-


 

Party and the claims for equitable relief are incidental to the claims for money damages. If the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify in full the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense or the settlement against such Third Party Claim. In the event that any party exercises its right to undertake any such defense against any Third Party Claim as provided above, then the other parties shall cooperate in such defense and make available at such cooperating party expense all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such party’s possession and control relating thereto as is reasonably required to by the party conducting the defense.
     (b) The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other is defending, as provided in this Agreement.
     (c) The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement or judgment relates solely to monetary damages which are indemnified Losses the Indemnifying Party will fully satisfy. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement that (i) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action, or (ii) does not provide for a complete release by such Third Party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third-Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third-Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party, and shall have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim involving money damages for which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 9.4 for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Losses relating thereto (including the costs of defense thereof) with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
     (d) In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party; but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure). Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation thereof, all with reasonable particularity and shall contain a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such a claim shall be incurred. Such notice shall be given promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the basis for each such a claim as provided in Section 9.4(a). The Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice of an indemnified Loss, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3, (i) pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnified Party the amount of such Loss specified in such notice which the Indemnifying Party does not contest, or (ii) notify the Indemnified Party if it wishes to

-63-


 

contest the existence or amount of part or all of such a Loss or the basis of a claim for a Loss in an amount that is not yet known by stating with particularity the basis upon which it contests the existence or amount thereof.

The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any one or more provisions are deemed illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect unless the deletion of such provision shall cause this Agreement to become materially adverse to either party, in which event the parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to arrive at an accommodation that best preserves for the parties the benefits and obligations of the offending provision.

     Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall (a) confer on any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns any rights (including Third-Party beneficiary rights), remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or (b) constitute the parties hereto as partners or as participants in a joint venture.

No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
     11.4 Amendment of Agreement
     This Agreement may be amended with respect to any provision contained herein at any time prior to the Closing Date by action of the parties hereto taken by their Boards of Directors or by their duly authorized officers or employees, whether before or after such party’s action; provided, however, that such amendment shall be evidenced by a written instrument duly executed on behalf of each party by its duly authorized officer or employee.
