Seller shall not remove, and has not since the Balance Sheet Date removed, any asset identified on Section 2.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule other than the Excluded Assets. Subject to the immediately following sentence, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contribute the assets listed on Schedule VIII (the “Contributed Assets”) to QBT immediately prior to the Closing. To the extent any of the Contributed Assets cannot be assigned without consent of the parties thereto, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pass through the benefits to Buyer, and Buyer shall bear the burdens and obligations, of such Contributed Assets, and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such a consent as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing.

The Seller shall, as promptly as practicable but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement allocating the Purchase Price (and any assumed liabilities and other relevant items, to the extent properly taken into account under the Code) among the assets of QBT (the “Tax Allocation Schedule”).

ARTICLE 2

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, the Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer as of the date hereof as follows:

Section 2.1 Organization and Qualification.

QBT is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. QBT has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to own and lease the properties and assets it now owns and leases and to carry on QBT’s business as currently conducted, except for any failures of the foregoing that would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. QBT is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign limited liability company and is in good standing in the jurisdictions set forth in Section 2.1 to the Disclosure Schedule where such qualification is required by reason of the nature of the properties and assets currently owned or leased by it or the business currently conducted by it, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. True, accurate and complete copies of the Governing Documents of QBT, as currently in effect, are attached to Section 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 2.2 QBT Capital Structure.

(a) Other than the QBT Interest, QBT does not have any other membership interests or other equity interests of QBT authorized, issued or outstanding. The QBT Interest is held of record and beneficially by Qorvo. The QBT Interest has been duly authorized and validly issued and is not subject to preemptive rights or similar rights created by statute or the Governing Documents. There are no declared or accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to any of the QBT Interest. Except as set forth above, as of the date of this Agreement, no other membership interest, equity securities, partnership interests or similar equity ownership interests or other voting equity securities of QBT or any securities exchangeable or convertible into, or exercisable for such membership interest, other equity securities, partnership interests or similar equity ownership interests or other voting equity securities of QBT, were issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. There are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of QBT having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which the member of QBT may vote. Except as set forth on Section 2.2(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, QBT has never repurchased, redeemed or caused the repurchase or redemption of any membership interests or other securities of QBT, and there are no amounts owed or which may be owed to any person by QBT as a result of any repurchase or redemption of any membership interests or other securities of QBT. There is no claim or basis for such a claim to any portion of the Purchase Price by any current or former member, option holder or warrant holder of QBT.

(b) QBT does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock of or any other equity interest in any other Person, and QBT is not and has not otherwise been, a party to, member of or owner of any partnership, joint venture or similar business entity.

Section 2.3 Authority and Enforceability.

The Seller has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to consummate the Contemplated Transaction. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Contemplated Transaction has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Seller, if applicable, and no other proceeding on the part of the Seller is necessary to authorize the Seller’s execution of this Agreement or the Seller’s consummation of the Contemplated Transaction. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Seller and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer, constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) (the “Bankruptcy and Equitable Exceptions”).

Any Company Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is the subject of a favorable and current determination letter from the IRS. Buyer has been provided with the most recent IRS determination, notification, advisory, or opinion letter, if any, issued with respect to each such Company Employee Plan, and, nothing has occurred since the issuance of each such letter that could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of the tax-qualified status of any Company Employee Plan subject to Section 401(a) of the Code.

All contributions required to be made by any Company to any Company Employee Plan have been made on or before their due dates. No suit, administrative proceeding, action or other litigation has been brought or is pending, or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, is threatened, against or with respect to any such Company Employee Plan, including any audit or inquiry by the IRS, United States Department of Labor, or any other Governmental Entity, other than requests for payments in the ordinary course or requests for qualified domestic relations orders.

(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, by themselves or in conjunction with any other agreements of QBT in effect to Closing will (i) entitle any current or former employee or other service provider of QBT to severance benefits or any other payment by QBT, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in Section 2.12(d) of the Disclosure Schedule, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable by QBT or (iii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting of any benefit, or increase the amount of compensation due any such employee or service provider by QBT, except as provided in this Agreement or in Section 2.12(d) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(e) Each Company Employee Plan can be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued after the Closing in accordance with its terms, without material liabilities to Buyer.

(f) QBT does not maintain, sponsor, participate in or contribute to, nor has it ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in, or contributed to, any pension plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) which is subject to Section 302 of ERISA, Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code.

(g) QBT is not a party to, nor has it made any contribution to or otherwise incurred any obligation to contribute to, any “multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.

(h) QBT is not obligated to make reimbursement or gross-up payments to any Person in respect of excess parachute payments.

(i) Each Company Employee Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been operated in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and applicable IRS guidance. QBT does not have any obligation to gross up, indemnify, or otherwise reimburse any individual for any excise taxes, interest, or penalties incurred pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

Section 2.13 Prohibited Payments.

(a) Neither QBT nor, to its Knowledge, any of its Representatives, in carrying out or representing the business of QBT anywhere in the world, has violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, or the anti-corruption laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 2.14 Environmental, Health, and Safety Matters.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.14 of the Disclosure Schedule or as would not be material to QBT:

(i) The business of QBT is in full compliance with all Environmental Laws. QBT has not received any Order, notice or other communication of any actual or potential violation or failure by QBT to comply with any Environmental Law, or of any actual or threatened obligation to undertake or bear the cost of any Environmental, Health and Safety Liabilities with respect to the operations, property or assets of QBT.

(ii) QBT is not the subject of any pending or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, threatened claims or Liens resulting from any Environmental, Health and Safety Liabilities or arising under or pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to or affecting any operations, property or assets of QBT, which would be material to QBT taken as a whole.

(iii) To the Seller’s Knowledge, no property or Facility at which QBT operates its business contains a Hazardous Material in a quality or concentration requiring investigation or remediation by QBT under applicable Environmental Law or which could reasonably be expected to result in QBT incurring Environmental, Health, and Safety Liabilities.

(b) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.14 are the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Seller relating to Environmental Laws or Environmental, Health and Safety Liabilities contained in this Agreement.

(e) No later than sixty (60) days following the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with a schedule that sets forth (i) the name of each employee of QBT and (ii) the amount (if any) of the cash bonus that Seller has determined in its sole discretion such employee is entitled to receive for the bonus period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, under the applicable bonus arrangements of the Seller or its Affiliates. Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates, to pay each such employee the amount set forth on such schedule (less applicable Tax withholding) not later than twenty (20) days following receipt from Seller of such schedule. Seller shall, no later twenty (20) day following the applicable payment date, reimburse Buyer for an amount equal the sum of (A) the aggregate amount set forth on such schedule and (B) an additional amount equal to the employer-paid portion of the employment Taxes paid by Buyer and its Affiliates in respect of amount set forth on such schedule.

All claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or Contemplated Transaction, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as Seller and Buyer in the preamble to this Agreement (the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, equityholder, subsidiary, parent company, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Party”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transaction or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transaction or the negotiation, execution, performance, or breach of this Agreement (other than as set forth in this Agreement), and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such claims, causes of action, obligations and liabilities against any such Non-Recourse Party. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impute or extend the liability of a Contracting Party to any Non-Recourse Party, whether based on statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (i) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Non-Recourse Party with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court within the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding shall be exclusively heard and determined in any such court. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought.

Section 8.7 Exhibits and Schedules; Construction; Interpretation.

Each Schedule in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to qualify only to the corresponding Section of this Agreement or such other section of this Agreement to which its relevance is remotely apparent. The Disclosure Schedule is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth herein. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an article, section, paragraph, clause, schedule or exhibit, such reference shall be deemed to be to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The text of all schedules is incorporated herein by reference. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” As used herein, words in the singular will be held to include the plural and vice versa (unless the context otherwise requires), words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender (or the neuter) as the context requires, and the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The phrase “made available to Buyer” or similar phrases as used in this Agreement shall mean that the subject documents were posted to the data room. The phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or thing extends, and shall not simply mean “if”. The word “or” is not exclusive. The word “will” shall have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”.

Section 8.8 Parties in Interest.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.9 Severability.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

Section 8.10 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, portable document format or other electronic means, including DocuSign or similar electronic signature, shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 8.11 Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 8.12 Specific Performance.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, so that a Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled, at law or in equity. No limitation herein shall restrict any Party from seeking and obtaining equitable relief.

Section 8.13 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Nonassertion of Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) Buyer waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, QBT, to waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Representation”), of Seller, any of its Affiliates or any stockholder, officer, employee or director of Seller or any of its Affiliates (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, by any legal counsel currently representing Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (the “Current Representation”).

(b) Buyer waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, QBT, to waive and not to assert, any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection with respect to any communication between any legal counsel and any Designated Person occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute with Buyer or its Affiliates, and following the Closing, with QBT (including in respect of any litigation by Buyer or its Affiliates), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all such rights to such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection and to control such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection shall be retained by Seller and that Seller, and not Buyer, its Affiliates or QBT, shall have the sole right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection. Accordingly, from and after Closing, none of Buyer, its Affiliates or QBT shall have any access to any such communications or to the files of the Current Representation, all of which shall be and remain the property of Seller and not of Buyer, its Affiliates or QBT, or to internal counsel relating to such engagement, and none of Buyer, its Affiliates, QBT or any Person acting on their behalf shall seek to obtain the same by any process, with it being understood and agreed that the privilege and protection attaching to such communications and files belongs to Seller.
