Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On October 4, 2021, QUALCOMM Incorporated (“Qualcomm”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SSW HoldCo LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“SSW” and, together with Qualcomm, the “Acquiring Parties”), SSW Merger Sub Corp, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of SSW (“Merger Sub”) and Veoneer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veoneer”). Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Veoneer (the “Merger”), with Veoneer surviving the Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of SSW. Shortly after the consummation of the Merger, and pursuant to that certain Investment and Separation Matters Agreement (as defined below), Veoneer’s non-Arriver businesses (which are Tier-1 supplier businesses) will be extracted from Veoneer (the “Non-Arriver Extraction”) and thereafter the Arriver business will be sold to Qualcomm by way of a merger of Veoneer with and into a designated subsidiary of Qualcomm.

As a result of the Merger, except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Veoneer (“Veoneer Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be converted into the right to receive $37.00 per share in cash, without interest and subject to any tax withholding required by applicable law (the “Merger Consideration”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time:

each Veoneer stock option (whether or not vested) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to any tax withholding required by applicable law, equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the per-share exercise price for such Veoneer stock option multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Veoneer Common Stock underlying such Veoneer stock option, provided that if the exercise price per share of Veoneer Common Stock of such Veoneer stock option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Veoneer stock option will be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof;

each Veoneer time-based restricted stock unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to any tax withholding required by applicable law, equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Veoneer Common Stock underlying such Veoneer time-based restricted stock unit (including any shares of Veoneer Common Stock in respect of dividend equivalent units credited thereon) multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration;

each Veoneer performance-based restricted stock unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to any tax withholding required by applicable law, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Veoneer Common Stock underlying such Veoneer PSU (including any shares of Veoneer Common Stock in respect of dividend equivalent units credited thereon) determined based on the attainment of the applicable performance metrics at (x) the actual level of performance for any performance periods that have concluded prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, and (y) the greater of the target level of performance or actual level of performance measured through the date on which the closing of the Merger occurs (as determined by Veoneer’s Board of Directors), for any performance periods that would otherwise conclude following the date of the Merger Agreement, in each case, multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration;

If the Merger is consummated, the Veoneer Common Stock will be de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange and de-registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.

The parties intend that shortly after closing of the Merger, SSW will complete the sale of Veoneer’s Arriver business to Qualcomm and retain Veoneer’s other non-Arriver businesses (which are Tier-1 supplier businesses).

Conditions to the Merger and Closing

Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Veoneer Common Stock that are entitled to vote thereon at the Veoneer stockholder meeting, whether in person or by proxy (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and the expiration of applicable waiting periods or clearance of the Merger, as applicable, under the antitrust and foreign investment laws of certain other jurisdictions, (iii) the absence of any law or order, issued by certain governmental authorities of competent jurisdiction, prohibiting the Merger, (iv) no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement and (v) other customary closing conditions. Completion of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition nor the Acquiring Parties’ ability to implement Non-Arriver Extraction immediately following closing (unless an intentional and material breach by Veoneer of its Arriver/Non-Arriver Separation Planning (as defined in the Merger Agreement) cooperation covenant is the primary cause of such inability to implement the Non-Arriver Extraction at the time it otherwise would have been completed following the closing). The Merger Agreement also provides that Qualcomm and SSW will not be required to complete the merger prior to April 4, 2022 (6 months from the date of the Merger Agreement).

Termination and Fees

Either Veoneer or the Acquiring Parties may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, including if (i) the Merger has not been consummated on or before July 4, 2022 (as may be extended in certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement to a date no later than April 4, 2023) (“Outside Date”), (ii) a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final non-appealable law or order prohibiting the Merger or (iii) the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the stockholders’ meeting duly convened therefor.

Veoneer may terminate the Merger Agreement, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, if (i) any of the Acquiring Parties or Merger Sub materially breaches, and does not cure, any representation or covenant that would cause any conditions to Veoneer’s obligation to consummate the Merger not to be satisfied, or (ii) prior to receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, Veoneer’s Board of Directors has authorized Veoneer to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

The Acquiring Parties may terminate the Merger Agreement, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, if (i) Veoneer materially breaches, and does not cure, any representation or covenant that would cause any conditions to the Acquiring Parties and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Merger not to be satisfied, (ii) Veoneer’s Board of Directors has made an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement), which termination right will expire upon the Requisite Stockholder Approval having been obtained, or (iii) Veoneer has willfully breached, and does not cure, its obligations to comply with the non-solicitation provisions set out in the Merger Agreement and such breach has resulted in the receipt of a Competing Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by Veoneer.

Veoneer will be required to pay a termination fee of $110 million to the Acquiring Parties in certain circumstances, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Similarly, the Acquiring Parties will be required to pay a reverse termination fee of $225 million to Veoneer in certain circumstances, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement also provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, Veoneer will be required to reimburse the Acquiring Parties for the $110 million termination fee that was paid by the Acquiring Parties to Magna International Inc. (“Magna”) in connection with the termination of the previously announced agreement and plan of merger, dated as of July 22, 2021, by and among Magna, 2486345 Delaware Corporation and Veoneer.

Financing

The Acquiring Parties represented to Veoneer that as of the date of the Merger Agreement they have access to, and at the Effective Time will have sufficient funds available to fund all amounts required to be paid by the Acquiring Parties and/or Merger Sub for the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Qualcomm will provide for a loan facility from Qualcomm (or a third party and guaranteed by Qualcomm) providing financing to the extent requested by the Company for the quarter commencing April 1, 2022 and each of the two subsequent quarters of $120 million per quarter (up to $360 million in the aggregate) which amounts may in certain circumstances be forgiven with an additional $120 million (for Q1 2023) to be provided if either party extends the final Outside Date to April 4, 2023.

Other Terms of the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties. Veoneer has also agreed to various covenants, including, among others, (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business and comply with certain other operating covenants, (ii) to convene a meeting of its stockholders and use its reasonable efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Veoneer stockholders at such stockholder meeting, (iii) not to solicit alternative transactions to the Merger and (iv) to reasonably cooperate with the Acquiring Parties to separate Veoneer’s Arriver business from Veoneer’s Tier-1 supplier businesses, in each case, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. The Acquiring Parties have also agreed to certain covenants and agreements, including, among other things, to take certain actions that may be required in order to obtain required regulatory approvals with respect to the Merger, subject to certain limitations as provided in the Merger Agreement.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

This communication may be deemed to be solicitation material in connection with the proposed acquisition of Veoneer pursuant to a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) between Veoneer, Qualcomm, SSW and SSW Merger Sub Corp, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of SSW. In connection with the proposed merger, Veoneer intends to file relevant materials with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including a proxy statement which will be mailed or otherwise disseminated to Veoneer’s stockholders. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO, AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC, CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT VEONEER AND THE PROPOSED MERGER. Stockholders may obtain free copies of the definitive proxy statement, any amendments or supplements thereto and other documents containing important information about Veoneer or the proposed merger, once such documents are filed with the SEC, free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or from Veoneer at https://www.veoneer.com/en/investors or by directing a request to Veoneer’s Investor Relations Department at thomas.jonsson@veoneer.com.

Participants in the Solicitation

Veoneer, Qualcomm and SSW and certain of their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be “participants” in the solicitation of proxies from Veoneer’s stockholders in connection with the Merger. Information about Veoneer’s directors and executive officers and their direct or indirect interests in Veoneer, by security holdings or otherwise, is set forth in Veoneer’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A for its 2021 annual meeting of stockholders filed with the SEC on March 29, 2021. To the extent holdings of Veoneer’s securities by such participants (or the identity of such participants) have changed, such information has been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Forms 3 and 4 subsequently filed with the SEC. Information about Qualcomm’s directors and executive officers is set forth in Qualcomm’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A for its 2021 annual meeting of stockholders filed with the SEC on January 21, 2021. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be included in the definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC regarding the proposed Merger, if and when it becomes available.

This document does not constitute a solicitation of proxy, an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Qualcomm ForwardLooking Statements

Any statements contained in this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “project”, “predict”, “should” and “‘will” and similar expressions as they relate to Qualcomm, SSW, Merger Sub or Veoneer are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties concerning the approval of the transaction by Veoneer’s stockholders, the parties’ ability to close the proposed transaction, the expected closing date of the transaction, the anticipated benefits and synergies of the transaction, anticipated future combined businesses, operations, products and services, and liquidity, debt repayment and capital return expectations. Actual events or results may differ materially from those described in this document due to a number of important factors. These factors include, among others, the outcome of regulatory reviews of the proposed transaction; the ability of the parties to complete the transaction; the ability of SSW and Qualcomm to successfully complete the sale of Veoneer’s Arriver business to Qualcomm and retain Veoneer’s other businesses (which are Tier-1 supplier businesses); SSW’s and Qualcomm’s ability to integrate Veoneer’s businesses, assets, operations, sales and distribution channels, business and financial systems and infrastructures, research and development, technologies, products, services and employees; the ability of the parties to retain their customers and suppliers; the ability of the parties to minimize the diversion of their managements’ attention from ongoing business matters; and other risks detailed in Qualcomm’s and Veoneer’s filings with the SEC, including those discussed in Qualcomm’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and Veoneer’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, each of which is on file with the SEC and available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. SEC filings for Qualcomm are also available in the Investor Relations section of Qualcomm’s website at www.qualcomm.com, and SEC filings for Veoneer are available in the Investor Relations section of Veoneer’s website at https://www.veoneer.com/en/investors. Qualcomm is not obligated to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates.

Veoneer Forward-Looking Statements

This document may include “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements relating to the completion of the merger. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “target,” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. The reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed merger and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, including the failure to consummate the proposed merger or to make any filing or take other action required to consummate such merger in a timely matter or at all. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that any plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on such statements. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) the merger may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including approval of the merger by Veoneer’s stockholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals on the terms or at the timing expected; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; (iv) operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients or suppliers) may be greater than expected; (v) risks related to diverting management attention from ongoing business operations; (vi) the business of Veoneer may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the merger or the potential adverse changes to business relationships resulting from the proposed merger; and (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Veoneer or Qualcomm related to the merger agreement or the transaction contemplated thereby. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Veoneer’s financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity.

You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties relating to Veoneer described in Veoneer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently completed fiscal year, and other reports and documents filed by Veoneer from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Copies of these filings are available online at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Veoneer assumes no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Veoneer does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, QUALCOMM and SSW have entered into an Investment and Separation Matters Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement (the “Investment and Separation Matters Agreement”) setting forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which, following the Closing of the Merger, the Non-Arriver Business will be extracted from the Company (the “Non-Arriver Extraction”) and immediately thereafter the Arriver Business will be sold to QUALCOMM by way of a merger of the Company with and into a designated Subsidiary of QUALCOMM, with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly owned Subsidiary of QUALCOMM (the “Arriver Sale”);

WHEREAS, QUALCOMM and SSW desire to effect the Non-Arriver Extraction as promptly as possible following Closing of the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Investment and Separation Matters Agreement, and the Company has agreed to reasonably cooperate in effecting the Non-Arriver Extraction and the Arriver Sale (the “Arriver/Non-Arriver Separation Planning”), in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and subject to applicable Law;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously (a) approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (b) determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, taken together, are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and (c) on the terms and subject to the conditions as set forth in this Agreement, resolved to recommend the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of QUALCOMM has unanimously (a) approved this Agreement, QUALCOMM’s acquisition of the Arriver Business and the other transactions contemplated hereby and (b) determined that the transactions contemplated hereby, taken together, are advisable and in the best interests of QUALCOMM and its stockholders;

WHEREAS, that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 22, 2021 (the “Magna Agreement”), by and among Magna International Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Magna”), 2486345 Delaware Corporation, a Delaware corporation and indirect, wholly owned Subsidiary of Magna, and the Company, has been validly terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company;

WHEREAS, concurrently with and as a condition to the effectiveness of such termination of the Magna Agreement, the Acquiring Parties, on behalf of the Company, have paid in full the termination fee in the amount of $110,000,000 to Magna by wire transfer of immediately available funds (the “Magna Termination Fee”) in accordance with the terms of the Magna Agreement, in full satisfaction of all of the Company’s remaining obligations under the Magna Agreement;

WHEREAS, the sole stockholder of Merger Sub has adopted this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger; and

WHEREAS, each of the Acquiring Parties, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties and covenants and subject to the conditions herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Article I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 Definitions. Defined terms used in this Agreement have the respective meanings ascribed to them by definition in this Agreement or in Appendix A.

Article II

THE MERGER

Section 2.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. At the election of the Acquiring Parties, any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of SSW, that is a Delaware corporation, may be substituted for Merger Sub as a constituent corporation in the Merger so long as such substitution has no impact on the transactions contemplated hereby. In such event, the parties hereto shall execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement in order to reflect the foregoing.

Section 2.2 The Closing. Subject to the provisions of Article VII, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third (3^rd) Business Day after the later of (a) the Inside Date and (b) the satisfaction or, to the extent not prohibited by Law, waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent not prohibited by Law, waiver of such conditions), and the Closing shall take place at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP; One Manhattan West; New York, New York 10001, or by the electronic exchange of documents, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the Company and the Acquiring Parties (such date being the “Closing Date”); provided, that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by QUALCOMM, the Closing shall not occur on a date that is during the last five (5) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of any fiscal quarter of QUALCOMM and shall in such case be deferred until the first Business Day of the immediately following fiscal quarter; provided, further, that if all of the conditions to the respective obligations of the Acquiring Parties and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger set forth in Article VII are satisfied or (to the extent not prohibited by Law) waived by the Acquiring Parties and the Closing would have occurred but for the Inside Date, then all such conditions shall be deemed to be satisfied from and after such date on which the Closing would have occurred but for the Inside Date (other than the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(c) and except where the Company’s Willful Breach after such date proximately caused the failure of the condition in Section 7.2(b) to be satisfied).

Section 2.3 Effective Time.

(a) Concurrently with the Closing, each of the Company, the Acquiring Parties and Merger Sub shall cause a certificate of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged, delivered to and filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary”) as provided under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective on the date and time at which the Certificate of Merger has been received for filing by the Secretary (such date and time of filing, or such later time as may be agreed to by the Acquiring Parties, Merger Sub and the Company and set forth in the Certificate of Merger, being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

(b) The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL, this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, and all of the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Subject to compliance with Section 6.6, at the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to be identical to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub, except that the name of the Merger Sub set forth therein shall be changed to the name of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and the DGCL, except that (i) in each case, the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Veoneer, Inc.” and (ii) the indemnity and exculpation provisions shall be the same as those under the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, respectively, in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 2.5 Board of Directors. The board of directors of the Surviving Corporation effective as of, and immediately following, the Effective Time shall consist of the members of the board of directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Article III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 3.1 Effect on Securities. At the Effective Time (or such other time specified in this Section 3.1), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, SSW, Merger Sub or any holder of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub or any other Person:

(a) Cancellation of Company Securities. Each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including shares held as treasury stock) or held, directly or indirectly, by SSW or Merger Sub or any of their wholly owned Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist as issued or outstanding shares, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.

(b) Conversion of Company Securities. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive $37.00 per share of Company Common Stock in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law. Each share of Company Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 3.1(b) shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates (the “Certificates”) or book-entry evidence of shares (“Book-Entry Evidence”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Evidence in accordance with Section 3.2, the Merger Consideration without interest thereon and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and become 1,000 fully paid, non-assessable shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only issued or outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur as a result of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or similar event, or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. Nothing in this Section 3.1(d) shall be construed to permit any party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 3.2 Payment for Securities; Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Designation of Paying Agent; Deposit of Exchange Fund. No later than ten (10) days prior to the Effective Time, the Acquiring Parties shall, at their sole cost and expense, designate a reputable bank or trust company (the “Paying Agent”) that is organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, the identity and the terms of appointment of which to be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as paying agent for the payment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, and shall enter into an agreement (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) relating to the Paying Agent’s responsibilities with respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. Concurrently with the filing of the Certificate of Merger, SSW shall, and QUALCOMM shall cause SSW to, deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent, cash constituting an amount equal to the Aggregate Merger Consideration (such Aggregate Merger Consideration as deposited with the Paying Agent, the “Exchange Fund”). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 3.1(b), SSW shall, and QUALCOMM shall cause SSW to, promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payments in full. The Acquiring Parties shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (i) held for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock and (ii) applied promptly to making the payments pursuant to Section 3.1(b). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 3.1, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) Procedures for Exchange.

(i) Certificates. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second (2nd) Business Day thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and which shall be in the form and have such other provisions as the Acquiring Parties and the Company may reasonably specify and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement (which instructions shall be in the form and have such other provisions as the Acquiring Parties and the Company may reasonably specify).

(ii) Book-Entry Evidence. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second (2nd) Business Day thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Book-Entry Evidence not held through The Depository Trust Company (and to deliver to The Depository Trust Company, in the case of holders of Book-Entry Evidence held through The Depository Trust Company) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall be in the form and have such other provisions as the Acquiring Parties and the Company may reasonably specify, and (B) instructions for returning such letter of transmittal in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Book-Entry Evidence shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement (which instructions shall be in the form and have such other provisions as the Acquiring Parties and the Company may reasonably specify). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of Book-Entry Evidence shall be required to deliver a Certificate or, in the case of holders of Book-Entry Evidence held through The Depository Trust Company, an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(b).

(c) Timing of Exchange. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Evidence for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with, in the case of Certificates and Book-Entry Evidence not held through The Depository Trust Company, a letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or, in the case of Book-Entry Evidence held through The Depository Trust Company, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Evidence shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Evidence upon the later to occur of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), Book-Entry Evidence or “agent’s message,” and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Evidence so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Paying Agent Agreement shall provide that the Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Evidence upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Evidence on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Evidence.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Evidence for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon written demand, and any such holders prior to the Merger who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation as a general creditor thereof for payment of their claims for Merger Consideration (without any interest thereon) in respect thereof, subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) No Liability. None of the Acquiring Parties, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash held in the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Evidence shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any cash in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Evidence would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Evidence shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent Agreement shall provide that the Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by the Acquiring Parties or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation; provided that (i) no such investment (including any losses thereon) shall relieve the Acquiring Parties or the Paying Agent from making, or causing to be made, the payments required by this Article III, and following any losses (or any diminishment of the Exchange Fund for any other reason below the level required to make prompt cash payment in full of the aggregate funds required to be paid pursuant to the terms hereof) SSW shall, and QUALCOMM shall cause SSW to, promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock in the amount of such losses, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) all such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or the Acquiring Parties, as directed by the Acquiring Parties.

(g) Withholding. The Acquiring Parties, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law. The Acquiring Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to notify or cause to be notified, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to making any such deduction or withholding, the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding is expected to be made of such deduction or withholding (except no such notification shall be required if such Person is receiving such consideration as compensation for services for purposes of applicable Tax Law), which notice shall be in writing and include the amount of and basis for such deduction or withholding. The Acquiring Parties or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall cooperate with such Person to reduce or eliminate any such requirement to deduct or withhold to the extent permitted by Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.3 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Option (whether or not vested) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the Company or the holder thereof, vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the per-share exercise price for such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option (the “Company Option Consideration”); provided that if the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof.

(b) Treatment of Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU (including any shares of Company Common Stock in respect of dividend equivalent units credited thereon) multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration (the “Company RSU Consideration”).

(c) Treatment of Company PSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company PSU (including any shares of Company Common Stock in respect of dividend equivalent units credited thereon) determined based on the attainment of the applicable performance metrics at (x) the actual level of performance for any performance periods that have concluded prior to the date hereof, and (y) the greater of the target level of performance or actual level of performance measured through the Closing Date (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company), for any performance periods that would otherwise conclude following the date hereof, in each case, multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration (the “Company PSU Consideration”).

(d) Delivery of Company Equity Award Consideration; Withholding; Section 409A. The Acquiring Parties shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation (to the extent applicable) to each holder of a Company Equity Award the Company Option Consideration, Company RSU Consideration and Company PSU Consideration, as applicable, less any required withholding Taxes and without interest, within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, subject to any requirements under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) with respect to any Company Equity Award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that the Company determines prior to the Effective Time is not eligible to be terminated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B), such payment will be made at the earliest time permitted under the applicable Company Equity Plan that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code and (ii) with respect to Company Equity Awards held by individuals subject to Taxes imposed by the Laws of a country other than the United States, the parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith prior to the Effective Time to minimize the Tax impact of the provisions set forth in this Section 3.3.

(e) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board or the Compensation Committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Acquiring Parties and the Company, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article III; provided, however, that the Paying Agent or the Acquiring Parties may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide a bond in a customary amount.

Section 6.2 Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) As soon as practicable (and, in any event, within twenty (20) Business Days) following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement on Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act related to the matters to be submitted to the Company stockholders (including holders of SDRs in accordance with the rules and regulations of Nasdaq Stockholm) at the Company Stockholders Meeting (including any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”) in preliminary form. Each of the Acquiring Parties shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement, and shall furnish all information concerning it, Merger Sub, and any of their respective Affiliates that is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement, and provide such other assistance, in each case, as may be reasonably requested in the connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto and to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as practicable after the preliminary filing. The Company shall notify each of the Acquiring Parties promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information, and shall supply each of the Acquiring Parties with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Merger. The Company shall give each of the Acquiring Parties the opportunity to participate in any discussions or meetings such party has with the SEC in connection with the Proxy Statement or the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before filing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company (i) shall provide each of the Acquiring Parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response), (ii) shall consider in good faith such document or response all comments reasonably proposed by each of the Acquiring Parties and (iii) shall not file or mail such document or respond to the SEC prior to receiving the approval of the Acquiring Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) If, before the Effective Time, any event occurs with respect to the Company, QUALCOMM, SSW, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, or any change occurs with respect to other information supplied to or by the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, which is required to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement, the Company or the relevant Acquiring Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify such other party of such event, and the Company and the Acquiring Parties shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement and, as required by law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the Company’s stockholders.

(c) The Company shall, as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC, mail the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, under the DGCL, at the Company Stockholders Meeting. Unless the Company Board has made an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.5(f), the Proxy Statement shall include the Company Recommendation. Except as required by applicable Law, the Company shall not submit any other proposal to its stockholders at the Company Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of the Acquiring Parties. The Company shall conduct one or more “broker searches” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act and establish a record date for the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and take all actions necessary to comply with this Section 6.2. The record date and meeting date of the Company Stockholders Meeting shall be selected by the Company after reasonable consultation with the Acquiring Parties. Once the Company has established the record date for the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date without the prior written consent of the Acquiring Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required to do so by applicable Law. Unless the Company Board has made an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.5(f), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies from its stockholders in accordance with Section 6.2 in favor of the adoption of this Agreement. The Company shall actively work with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) (“SEB”) (in its capacity as SDR custodian) to ensure that SEB facilitates the SDR holders’ rights to vote at the Company Stockholders Meeting. The Company shall convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting as soon as practicable following the date of mailing of the definitive Proxy Statement (and in any event shall convene such meeting no later than forty-five (45) days after mailing of the definitive Proxy Statement, or such later date as the parties may reasonably agree).

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its reasonable discretion, adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting after consultation with the Acquiring Parties, only (i) to the extent necessary, in the judgment of the Company Board, to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel is required under applicable Law is provided to the stockholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Stockholders Meeting or (ii) if as of the time for which the Company Stockholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) or is scheduled to reconvene following an adjournment thereof, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders Meeting or to the extent that at such time the Company has not received proxies sufficient to allow the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholders Meeting; provided, however, that the Company Stockholders Meeting shall not be adjourned for more than twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate from the originally scheduled date of the Company Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of the Acquiring Parties. The Company shall advise each of the Acquiring Parties upon request prior to the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting (and any reconvening thereof) as to the aggregate tally of proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Stockholder Approval and whether such proxies have been voted affirmatively or negatively with respect to each of the proposals to be presented at the Company Stockholders Meeting.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall not be affected by (i) the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Competing Proposal or (ii) an Adverse Recommendation Change.

In taking the foregoing actions, each of the Company and the Acquiring Parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, obtaining any Third Party Consents or waivers pursuant to Section 6.3(a)(ii) above or otherwise, including any Consents required in connection with the Non-Arriver Extraction or the Arriver Sale, shall not be a condition to the obligations of any party to consummate the Merger.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time after the date hereof and prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, in the event that (x) the Company receives an unsolicited Competing Proposal from any Person that did not result from or follow a breach of this Section 6.5 and (y) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Competing Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, and that the failure to take the actions described in the subsequent clauses (i) or (ii) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, then the Company and the Company Board and their respective Representatives may (i) contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions of such Competing Proposal and (ii) engage in negotiations or discussions with, or furnish any information and other access to, any Person making such Competing Proposal and its Representatives or potential sources of financing pursuant to customary confidentiality arrangements if the Company Board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Competing Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; provided that (A) prior to furnishing any nonpublic information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company receives from such Person, to the extent such Person is not already subject to a confidentiality agreement with the Company as of the date hereof, an executed confidentiality agreement with such Person that is not less favorable in any material respect to the Company than in the Confidentiality Agreement (including with respect to non-solicitation of employees and standstill provisions) and, if commercially sensitive information is to be provided to such Person, and such person is a competitor of the Company, a clean team agreement appropriate to address the competitive sensitivities of such competitor (such confidentiality agreement, and, if applicable, clean team agreement, together an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and (B) any such material nonpublic information so furnished shall be promptly made available to the Acquiring Parties to the extent it was not previously made available to the Acquiring Parties or its Representatives. Information that was made available to the Acquiring Parties pursuant to the “Clean Team” section of the VDR shall not be made available to such Person that is a competitor of the Company except pursuant to a clean team agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Acquiring Parties.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.5, the Company Board (including any committee thereof) shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to the Acquiring Parties or Merger Sub, or fail to make, the Company Recommendation, (ii) authorize, adopt, approve or recommend, to the Company’s stockholders or otherwise, or otherwise declare advisable, any Competing Proposal, (iii) fail to publicly recommend against any Competing Proposal or fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation, in each case, within five (5) Business Days after the Acquiring Parties so requests in writing; provided, however, that (1) such five (5) Business Day period shall be extended for an additional five (5) Business Days following any material modification to any Competing Proposal occurring after the receipt of the Acquiring Parties’ written request and (2) the Acquiring Parties shall be entitled to make such a written request only once for each Competing Proposal and once for each modification to the financial terms or other material modification to such Competing Proposal, (iv) upon the written request of the Acquiring Parties, fail to recommend against any Competing Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Competing Proposal, or make any other recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the equity securities of the Company other than a “stop, look and listen” statement pursuant to Section 6.5(g) provided, however, that the Acquiring Parties shall be entitled to make such a written request only once for each Competing Proposal and once for each modification to the financial terms or other material modification to such Competing Proposal, (v) approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute, approve or enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement or (vi) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing (any action described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change if:

(i) in response to an Intervening Event, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; or

(ii) (x) the Company receives an unsolicited Competing Proposal from any Person that did not result from or follow a breach of this Section 6.5 and has not been withdrawn or otherwise expired, and (y) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Competing Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

provided, however, that no Adverse Recommendation Change may be made and, in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii), unless and until: (i) after the fourth (4th) Business Day (the “Notice Period”) following the Acquiring Parties’ receipt of a written notice from the Company advising the Acquiring Parties that the Company Board intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change (a “Notice of Adverse Recommendation”), including specifying the Intervening Event or Superior Proposal and, in the case of a Superior Proposal, the identity of the Third Party making such a Superior Proposal, the terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal and a true and complete copy of the most current version of such Superior Proposal (including any proposed agreement or other offer documents), (ii) during the Notice Period, the Company and its Representatives negotiate in good faith with the Acquiring Parties and its Representatives (to the extent the Acquiring Parties desire to negotiate) to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that either the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would no longer be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable law or such Competing Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal and (iii) in determining whether to make such Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall take into account, in good faith, any changes to the terms of this Agreement timely proposed by the Acquiring Parties in response to a Notice of Adverse Recommendation. Any change to any of the financial terms (including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or any other material change to the terms of such Competing Proposal shall require a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation and commence a new Notice Period, and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.5(f) to the extent all references to four (4) Business Days shall be revised to two (2) Business Days.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company or the Company Board from taking or disclosing a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 or 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act, or otherwise making disclosure to comply with applicable Law with regard to a Competing Proposal (it being agreed that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the board of directors to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or a factually accurate public statement by the Company that solely describes the Company’s receipt of a Competing Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change or give rise to a termination right exercisable by the Acquiring Parties pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii)). Nothing in this Section 6.5(g) shall permit the Company to make an Adverse Recommendation Change not otherwise expressly permitted by this Section 6.5.

(h) As soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, as applicable, (i) terminate all solicitation efforts with respect to the proxy statement on Schedule 14A initially filed by the Company with the SEC on August 19, 2021 and take all reasonable action to withdraw such proxy statement, and (ii) cancel the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders contemplated by the Magna Agreement and provide notice of such cancellation to the Company’s stockholders, as required by law or reasonably requested by the Acquiring Parties.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Competing Proposal” shall mean any proposal or offer made by any Person (other than the Acquiring Parties, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates) or group of Persons as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act (A) to purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of transactions, (x) beneficial ownership (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of more than twenty percent (20%) of any class of equity securities of the Company (by vote or value) pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction or (y) any one or more assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries that constitute more than twenty percent (20%), of the revenues, earnings or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (B) with respect to the issuance, sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly, to any Person (other than the Acquiring Parties, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or group of Persons as used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), of securities (or options, rights, or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities) representing more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting power of the Company or (C) with respect to any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other transaction involving the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to which any Person or group of Persons would have beneficial ownership (as defined pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of securities representing more than twenty percent (20%) of the total outstanding equity securities of the Company (by vote or value) after giving effect to the consummation of such transaction.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” shall mean a bona fide unsolicited written Competing Proposal (with all references to “twenty percent (20%)” increased to “fifty percent (50%)”) made by a Third Party on terms that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, and considering all legal, regulatory and financing aspects and risks of such Competing Proposal and such other factors as the Company Board considers to be appropriate, are more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to by the Acquiring Parties to the Company in writing in response to such Competing Proposal under the provisions of Section 6.5(f)).

(iii) “Intervening Event” means an event, occurrence, change, effect, condition, development or state of facts or circumstances that materially affects the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (other than related to a Competing Proposal or Superior Proposal, or any proposal which constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Proposal or Superior Proposal) occurring after the date hereof that did not result from a breach of this Agreement and that was neither known to, nor reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement (or if known, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Company Board of directors as of the date of this Agreement) (where, for the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not be taken into account in determining whether an Intervening Event has occurred (x) the fact in and of itself that the Company meets or exceeds projections, earnings guidance, forecasts or estimates and (y) changes in and of themselves in the price of the Company Common Stock or the trading volume thereof).

Section 6.6 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) The Acquiring Parties and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification, contribution and advancement of expenses for facts, events, acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby), now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees of (or in a comparable role with) the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any person serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer or employee of (or in a comparable role with) another Person (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), as the case may be, in each case, as provided in the respective organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any indemnification or similar agreements in effect as of the date hereof that have been made available to the Acquiring Parties or that are in substantially the form included in the Company SEC Documents filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Company on or after the Spin Date and prior to the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms (it being agreed that after the Closing such rights shall be mandatory rather than permissive, if applicable), and SSW shall and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to perform such obligations thereunder. SSW shall cause the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to exculpation, indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitation of director, officer and employee (or comparable) liability that are no less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties than those set forth in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents as of the Closing Date, which provisions thereafter shall not, for a period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the D&O Indemnified Parties, except as required by applicable Law.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Acquiring Parties shall (and SSW shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, the D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to all facts, events, acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to and including the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby), to the fullest extent that the Company or its Subsidiaries would be permitted by applicable Law; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any Action against any D&O Indemnified Party the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any D&O Indemnified Party upon receipt, if required by the DGCL, the Surviving Corporation’s organizational documents or any applicable indemnification agreement, of a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that such D&O Indemnified Party is not permitted to be indemnified under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.6(b). or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Acquiring Parties shall not (and the Acquiring Parties shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any Action to which any D&O Indemnified Parties are parties, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all of the D&O Indemnified Parties covered by the Action from all liability arising out of such Action.

(c) For at least six (6) years after the Effective Time, SSW shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect the coverage provided by the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the Closing Date and maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable (the “Existing D&O Insurance Policies”), or provide substitute policies (with the Company’s current insurance carriers or other insurance carriers having an A.M. Best financial strength rating of least an “A”) for the Company and the D&O Indemnified Parties who are currently covered by such Existing D&O Insurance Policies, in either case, with limits and on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties than the Existing D&O Insurance Policies, covering claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated hereby (provided, that the Acquiring Parties or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall not be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual premium currently paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the Existing D&O Insurance Policies (the “Maximum Amount”), but in such case shall purchase as much of such coverage as possible for such amount) and the Acquiring Parties shall not, and shall not permit the Surviving Corporation or its other Subsidiaries to, take any action that would intentionally prejudice the rights of, or otherwise impede recovery by, the beneficiaries of any such insurance, whether in respect of claims arising before or after the Effective Time (unless such beneficiary is not entitled to such recovery as a result of a final, non-appealable judicial determination under such insurance as a result of such beneficiary’s conduct). In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase prepaid, non-cancellable six (6) year “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (“Tail Coverage”), effective as of the Effective Time, with limits and on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties than the Existing D&O Insurance Policies, covering claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated hereby (provided that the Company shall consult with the Acquiring Parties regarding the proposed terms and premium for such Tail Coverage and the premium for such Tail Coverage shall not exceed the Maximum Amount), and SSW shall cause the Surviving Corporation (or its applicable Subsidiaries) to maintain such Tail Coverage in full force and effect, without any modification, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder, in which event each of the Acquiring Parties shall cease to have any obligations under the first sentence of this Section 6.6(c).

(d) In the event that any of the Acquiring Parties, the Surviving Corporation, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge or amalgamate into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation, merger or amalgamation or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Acquiring Parties shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successor and assign of the Acquiring Parties, the Surviving Corporation, any such Subsidiary or all or substantially all of its or their properties and assets, as the case may be, assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

(e) The D&O Indemnified Parties are third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.6. The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Party and his or her successors, heirs or representatives. SSW and the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable, documented attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party in enforcing its indemnity and other rights under this Section 6.6. The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other applicable rights such D&O Indemnified Party may have under the respective organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, applicable Law or otherwise.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any claim (whether arising before, at or after the Closing) is made against any of the D&O Indemnified Parties on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the provisions of this Section 6.6 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim.

Section 6.7 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to the Acquiring Parties, and the Acquiring Parties shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of the Acquiring Parties, and (b) any Action commenced against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relates to this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.8 Public Announcements. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 6.5 or in connection with any Action among the parties regarding this Agreement, the Company, QUALCOMM, SSW and Merger Sub shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the parties hereto or their respective Affiliates shall issue any such press release or make any public statement prior to obtaining the other parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that no such consent shall be necessary to the extent disclosure may be required by Law, Order or applicable stock exchange rule or any listing agreement of any party hereto (in which case, the disclosing party shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party prior to such disclosure). In addition, the Company may, without the Acquiring Parties’ or Merger Sub’s consent, and each of the Acquiring Parties and Merger Sub may, without the Company’s consent, communicate to their employees, customers, suppliers and consultants; provided that such communication is consistent with prior communications of the Company, the Acquiring Parties or Merger Sub or any communications plan, in each case agreed to by the Acquiring Parties and the Company. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release in the form mutually agreed by the Company and the Acquiring Parties prior to the execution of this Agreement.

Section 6.9 Employee Matters.

(a) Employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time who remain employees of SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable), the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates following the Effective Time are hereinafter referred to as the “Continuing Employees”. For the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending twelve (12) months from the Effective Time, or such longer time as required by applicable Law (such period, the “Continuation Period”), SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable) shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, provide for each Continuing Employee (i) at least the same base salary and wage rate provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any equity or equity-based incentives) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than incentive compensation opportunities provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) employee benefits, as determined by SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable) in its reasonable discretion, that are either (A) substantially comparable in the aggregate (other than defined benefit pension plans and retiree medical or other post-termination welfare benefits (unless required pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement or applicable Law) and retention or change in control payments or awards) to the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, or (B) substantially similar to the employee benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Continuation Period, SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable) shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to provide, severance payments and benefits to each Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated during such period that are no less favorable than the severance payments and benefits as set forth in Section 6.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.9(a) or as set forth in the remaining subsections of Section 6.9, to the extent a Continuing Employee is employed in a jurisdiction where applicable Law requires different treatment of such Continuing Employee’s compensation or benefits entitlements, or such Continuing Employee’s terms of employment are governed by a collective bargaining, works council or similar agreement, SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable) shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to comply with the requirements of any such applicable Laws or collective bargaining, works council or similar agreements.

(b) The Acquiring Parties hereby acknowledges that consummation of the Merger will constitute a “change in control” (or similar term) of the Company under the terms of the Company Benefit Plans listed on Section 6.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable) shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to, assume and honor all obligations under the change in control agreements and employment agreements listed on Section 6.9(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) For purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits, where length of service is relevant under any benefit plan or arrangement of SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable), the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries providing benefits to a Continuing Employee after the Effective Time (collectively, the “New Plans”), such Continuing Employee shall receive service credit for service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (and any respective predecessors) to the same extent such service credit was granted under a corresponding benefit plan or arrangement (other than any defined benefit or retiree medical or other post-termination welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which such Continuing Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent any such service credit would result in the duplication of benefits. In addition and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable) shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to cause: (i) each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time or satisfaction of any other eligibility requirements, in any and all New Plans to the extent that (A) coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a benefit plan or arrangement in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (collectively, the “Old Plans”) and (B) each such Continuing Employee is treated as having satisfied all waiting time and other eligibility requirements under the Old Plan being replaced by the New Plan and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable) shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonably efforts to cause (A) all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such conditions were previously satisfied, inapplicable or waived under the comparable Old Plan and (B) any expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account to the same extent as under such corresponding Old Plan under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(e) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, unless otherwise requested by the Acquiring Parties at least five (5) days prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors that are reasonably satisfactory to the Acquiring Parties, the Company shall terminate the Company 401(k) Plan, and provide that participants in the Company 401(k) Plan shall become fully vested in any unvested portion of their Company 401(k) Plan accounts as of the date such plan is terminated. As of the Closing Date, SSW shall designate and provide coverage under a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan with a cash or deferred arrangement that is sponsored by SSW or one of its Subsidiaries (the “SSW 401(k) Plan”) for the participants in the Company 401(k) Plan. In connection with the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, to the extent permitted by the SSW 401(k) Plan, SSW shall cause the SSW 401(k) Plan to accept from the Company 401(k) Plan the “direct rollover” of the account balance (including the in-kind rollover of promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans) of each employee who participated in the Company 401(k) Plan as of the date such plan is terminated who elects such direct rollover in accordance with the terms of the Company 401(k) Plan and the Code.

(f) SSW or QUALCOMM (as applicable) shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor the terms of each collective bargaining agreement and works council agreement until such collective bargaining agreement or works council agreement expires pursuant to its terms or is modified by the parties thereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.9 to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall (i) cause any of the Acquiring Parties or any of their respective Affiliates to be obligated to continue to employ any Person, including any Continuing Employees, for any period of time following the Effective Time, (ii) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan, New Plan or any other employee benefit plans of the Company or any of the Acquiring Parties (including the requirement to adopt or establish any such plans) or as a guarantee of employment for any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) create any third party beneficiary rights in any director, officer, employee or individual Person, including any present or former employee, officer, director or individual independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent of any such individual).

(h) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Section 6.9(h) of the Company Disclosure Letter, which (if provided more than five (5) days prior to the Closing) shall be updated through Closing, lists all “employment losses,” as defined in WARN, occurring during the ninety (90) day period prior to the Closing Date, stating for each such employment loss the date the loss occurred, the location, and the position(s) involved.

(d) Each of the Company, on the one hand, and the Acquiring Parties, on the other hand, agrees to, within five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, following reasonable prior consultation with the other party, appoint an individual Representative (each such Representative, a “Chief Integration Planning Officer”) to have overall responsibility for overseeing and managing the Arriver/Non-Arriver Separation Planning and other integration planning matters on behalf of the Company and the Acquiring Parties, respectively, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including this Section 6.10. Each party may change its designated Chief Integration Planning Officer at any time following reasonable prior consultation of the other party. The Chief Integration Planning Officers shall regularly meet with each other regarding the Arriver/Non-Arriver Separation Planning, at least weekly and otherwise on a frequency to be mutually determined by the Chief Integration Planning Officers, during the period from and after the execution of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1.

(e) The Acquiring Parties shall, promptly upon request by the Company, advance or reimburse the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses to be incurred or incurred by such Persons in connection with such requested cooperation, and the Acquiring Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives against any and all costs, expenses, judgments, fines, claims, losses, penalties, damages, interest, awards and liabilities other than Tax Action Costs (which shall be governed solely by Section 6.10(b)) directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by them as a result of any Action against them arising out of any action taken by them prior to Closing with respect to the Arriver/Non-Arriver Separation Planning (including any acts performed by them under this Section 6.10) and any information utilized in connection therewith, except, in each case, to the extent such costs, expenses, judgments, fines, claims, losses, penalties, damages, interest, awards or liabilities result from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Representatives.

(f) All non-public, confidential information obtained by the Acquiring Parties or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.10 or otherwise in connection with the Arriver/Non-Arriver Separation Planning and Non-Arriver Extraction shall be kept confidential in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and this Agreement.

(g) In no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be in breach of this Agreement because of the failure by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.10 after use of reasonable efforts to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood and agreed that the condition precedent set forth in Section 7.2(b) as applied to the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.10 shall be deemed satisfied unless the Non-Arriver Extraction is unable to be completed at the time it otherwise would have been completed following the Closing as a direct result of the Company’s intentional material breach of its obligations under this Section 6.10 (provided, that any action taken at the written request of the Acquiring Parties shall not constitute such breach) to the extent such breach is the primary cause of the Non-Arriver Extraction being unable to be completed at the time it otherwise would have been completed following the Closing. None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives shall have any obligations under this Section 6.10 following the Effective Time.

(h) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Non-Arriver Extraction is not a condition to the Closing. If the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII of this Agreement have been satisfied or, to the extent not prohibited by Law, waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent not prohibited by Law, irrevocable waiver of such conditions), but it is expected that the Non-Arriver Extraction cannot be consummated immediately following the Closing, the parties to this Agreement shall nevertheless proceed with the Closing if and when required in accordance with Section 2.2.

(i) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file any 2021 Tax Returns in accordance with Section 6.10(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 6.11 Repayment of Indebtedness; Treatment of Convertible Notes.

(a) Immediately after the Effective Time, the Acquiring Parties shall (or shall cause an Affiliate to) provide and make available to the Company in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount necessary for the Company and its Subsidiaries to repay and discharge in full all amounts outstanding or otherwise due and owing pursuant to the terms of the financing arrangements set forth on Section 6.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Company Debt”), including accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations (including penalties or other charges or amounts that become payable thereunder as a result of the prepayment thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated at the Closing or that may become due and payable at the Effective Time) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries thereunder (collectively, the “Debt Payoff Amount”). Subject to the Acquiring Parties’ compliance with the previous sentence, the Company shall pay the Debt Payoff Amount to the counterparties under the Company Debt as promptly as practicable following the date the Company receives such Debt Payoff Amount. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, or prior to the Closing Date, provide the Acquiring Parties with a customary payoff letter (the “Payoff Letter”) from the agent under the credit agreements set forth in Section 6.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter, which Payoff Letter shall set forth the aggregate amount required to satisfy in full all such indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be discharged at the Closing.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take such actions as may be required in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture including, without limitation, delivery, issuance or entry into, as applicable, of any notices, certificates, press releases, supplemental indentures, officers’ certificates or other documents or instruments required to comply with the Convertible Notes Indenture as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall provide the Acquiring Parties and their respective counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any notices, certificates, press releases, supplemental indentures, legal opinions, officers’ certificates or other documents or instruments deliverable pursuant to the Convertible Notes Indenture as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the dispatch or making thereof, and the Acquiring Parties shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith. At the Closing, the Company shall take all necessary action to perform and comply with all obligations of the Company pursuant to the Convertible Notes Indenture within the time periods (but at or prior to the Closing) required by the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture and the Acquiring Parties shall take all necessary action to perform and comply with its obligations, if any, under the Convertible Notes Indenture and any supplemental indenture entered into by any of the Acquiring Parties at Closing and such obligations to be performed thereafter; provided that any opinions of counsel required by the Convertible Notes Indenture, or as shall be required by the trustee pursuant to the Convertible Notes Indenture, shall be delivered by the Acquiring Parties and their respective counsel in each case to the extent required by the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture to be delivered at Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.12 Integration Planning. Without limiting Section 6.4 (Access to Information; Confidentiality) or Section 6.10 (Arriver/Non-Arriver Separation Planning and Cooperation), from and after the execution of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, except as may be required by Law (including Antitrust Laws), (a) upon the reasonable advance written request of the Acquiring Parties, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with the Acquiring Parties and their respective Representatives to plan for the integration of the parties hereto, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective businesses following the Closing and (b) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (a), the Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, reasonably assist the Acquiring Parties with respect to integration planning (including providing support for IT Systems, IT equipment and other Company Technology, and benefits support services (including retention plans), and, in its reasonable discretion, affording the Acquiring Parties a reasonable opportunity to interview Company employees and executives), and prepare for customer communications and notices to be sent upon Closing reasonably required to result in a successful transition and integration following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to take such actions if: (A) it would cause a material violation of any Contract to which Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (B) the Company believes in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and taking into account whether privilege cannot be protected by the Company or its Subsidiaries through exercise of its or their reasonable efforts (such as redaction of certain information), it would reasonably be expected to cause a risk of a loss of privilege to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or would constitute a violation of any applicable Law.

Section 6.13 Merger Sub; Acquiring Parties’ Affiliates.

(a) The Acquiring Parties shall take all actions necessary to (i) cause Merger Sub and any other applicable Affiliates of the Acquiring Parties to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and, in the case of Merger Sub, to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (ii) ensure that, prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall not conduct any business, or incur or guarantee any indebtedness or make any investments, other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

In furtherance of the foregoing and the delegation designated in the power of attorney as set forth in the Investment and Separation Matters Agreement, if (x) either SSW or Merger Sub has failed to perform any of the obligations applicable to such party in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and (y) the Company has delivered written notice (the “Company POA Notice”) to QUALCOMM of any such failure to perform by SSW or Merger Sub, as applicable, then, promptly after its receipt of such Company POA Notice, QUALCOMM shall take all action necessary to satisfy (on behalf of SSW and/or Merger Sub) such obligations, including, if required, making any necessary payments in satisfaction of the Required Merger Payments when due and payable and delivering the Merger Consideration when required in accordance with Article II, in each case, on behalf of SSW and Merger Sub.

(c) The Acquiring Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations, decisions of, and actions taken or omitted to be taken by, QUALCOMM relating to this Agreement as statements, representations, decisions of, and actions taken or omitted to be taken by, the Acquiring Parties, SSW or Merger Sub.

Section 6.14 No Control of the Company’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give any of the Acquiring Parties, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ operations.

Section 6.15 Rule 16b-3 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may take such further actions, if any, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to ensure that the dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including any derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.16 Stock Exchange Matters.

Section 6.17 Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Law shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Laws on the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.18 Investment and Separation Matters Agreement; Obligations of Acquisition Parties. Without the prior written consent of the Company, none of QUALCOMM, SSW nor Merger Sub shall (i) terminate the Investment and Separation Matters Agreement, (ii) change, modify, amend or waive any conditions to the Investment and Separation Matters Agreement in any manner that is adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock or that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent the consummation of the Merger or prevent or impair the ability of QUALCOMM, SSW or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement the Investment and Separation Matters Agreement in any manner adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock or in any manner that unreasonably interferes with, hinders or impairs the consummation of the Merger or would delay it beyond the date that the Merger would otherwise be required to occur in accordance with Section 2.2.

Section 6.19 Financing Arrangements. The parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company may request that QUALCOMM provide financing to enable the Company and its Subsidiaries to satisfy ongoing cash needs, and, upon such request, QUALCOMM shall provide, or cause to be provided, such financing, in each case in the amount, at the times and on the terms and conditions set forth on Section 6.19 of the Company Disclosure Letter. Promptly following the date of this Agreement (and in no event later than December 31, 2021), QUALCOMM and the Company and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall enter into definitive documentation evidencing such financing reflecting the terms set forth on Section 6.19 of the Company Disclosure Letter and such other terms as QUALCOMM and the Company mutually agree, it being understood that QUALCOMM and the Company shall consider any requests with respect to such terms made by the other party in good faith.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated and the Merger abandoned pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no effect without liability on the part of any party hereto (or any of its Representatives), and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3, Section 8.7 or in any other provision of this Agreement, no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages (which the parties hereto acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of Expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and, in the case of liabilities or damages payable by the Acquiring Parties and Merger Sub, would include the benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement lost by the Company’s stockholders, taking into consideration all relevant matters, including lost stockholder premium, other combination opportunities and the time value of money), which shall be deemed in such event to be damages of such party, resulting from any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination, in which case, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3, the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity; provided, further, that the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of Section 6.4(b) (Confidentiality Agreement), Section 6.10(e) and Section 6.10(f) (Arriver/Non-Arriver Separation Planning and Cooperation), Section 8.2 (Effect of Termination), Section 8.3 (Termination Fees; Expenses), Section 8.6 (Expenses; Transfer Taxes), Section 8.7 (Magna Payment) and Article IX (General Provisions) shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 (Termination) in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 8.3 Termination Fees; Expenses.

(a) In the event that:

(i) (A) a Third Party shall have made to the Company or directly to the Company’s stockholders a Competing Proposal after the date of this Agreement, (B) this Agreement is subsequently terminated (x) by either party pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) (Outside Date) (at a time when the Company Stockholder Approval has not been obtained or the Acquiring Parties have the right to terminate pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) (Company Breach)), (y) by either party pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) (Company Stockholder Approval) or (z) by the Acquiring Parties pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) (Company Breach) or Section 8.1(d)(iii) (Breach of Non-Solicitation Covenants) and at the time of such termination in the case of clauses (x) and (y) (or at the time of such breach in the cause of clause (z)) a Competing Proposal has been publicly announced (or privately made to the Company in the case of clauses (x) and (z)) after the date of this Agreement and has not been withdrawn, and (C) within twelve (12) months of such termination of this Agreement, the Company consummates a transaction involving any Competing Proposal or enters into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement regarding any Competing Proposal and any Competing Proposal is subsequently consummated; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 8.3(a)(i), the references to “twenty percent (20%)” in the definition of Competing Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%)”;

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by the Acquiring Parties pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) (Adverse Recommendation Change);

(iii) (A) the Company Board shall have made an Adverse Recommendation Change and (B) this Agreement is terminated (1) by either party pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) (Outside Date) (at a time when the Company Stockholder Approval has not been obtained or the Acquiring Parties have the right to terminate pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) (Company Breach) or Section 8.1(b)(iii) (Company Stockholder Approval)), or (2) by the Acquiring Parties pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) (Company Breach);

(iv) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) (Superior Proposal);

(v) this Agreement is terminated by the Acquiring Parties pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(iii) (Breach of Non-Solicitation Covenants); or

(vi) this Agreement is terminated by the Company or the Acquiring Parties (A) pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) if, as of the time of such termination, (1) the only conditions to Closing that have not been satisfied or waived (to the extent such waiver is not prohibited by applicable Law and other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided, that such conditions were then capable of being satisfied if the Closing had taken place) are any one or more of the Regulatory Conditions and (2) no breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 6.3 has been a principal cause of the failure of any one or more of the Regulatory Conditions to be satisfied or (B) pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii) if (1) the relevant Law or Order or other action taken relates to Antitrust Laws or Investment Screening Laws and (2) no breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 6.3 has been a principal cause of the imposition of such Law or Order or the taking of any such other action;

then (1) the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to or at the direction of the Acquiring Parties, (x) in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, one hundred percent (100%) of the Termination Fee (reduced by the portion of the Termination Fee previously paid pursuant to the immediately succeeding clause (y), if any) and (y) in the case of clause (v) above, an amount equal to the Acquiring Parties’ Expenses (provided that such amount shall not exceed $15 million) (it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay more than one hundred percent (100%) of the Termination Fee), (A) in the case of clause (i) above, on the date of the consummation of such transaction involving a Competing Proposal, (B) in the case of clauses (ii) or (v), or if the Acquiring Parties are the terminating party in the case of clause (iii), no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination and (C) in the case of clause (iv), or if the Company is the terminating party in the case of clause (iii), prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination, or (2) the Acquiring Parties shall pay, or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to or at the direction of the Company, in the case of clause (vi) above, one hundred percent (100%) of the Reverse Termination Fee, no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination or, if the Acquiring Parties are the terminating party, prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination (it being understood that in no event shall the Acquiring Parties be required to pay more than one hundred percent (100%) of the Reverse Termination Fee). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, the Acquiring Parties shall pay, or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to or at the direction of the Company no later than five (5) Business Days after the date of such termination, any amounts owed pursuant to Section 6.10(e) that have not already been advanced or reimbursed by the Acquiring Parties at the time of such termination.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to Section 9.9, the Acquiring Parties’ receipt in full of (i) the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3 and (ii) Magna Termination Fee Refund pursuant to Section 8.7, in circumstances where the Termination Fee is owed pursuant to Section 8.3, shall constitute the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Acquiring Parties and Merger Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective direct or indirect, former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates or assignees of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except that the Company shall also be obligated with respect to Section 8.3(c), Section 8.6 and Section 8.7, as applicable).

(c) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 and Section 8.7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Acquiring Parties in the circumstances in which such fee is payable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision and (iii) without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement. The parties further acknowledge that the Magna Termination Fee Refund shall not constitute a penalty, but is a refund of amounts previously paid by the Acquiring Parties on behalf of the Company. Accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3 or Section 8.7 and, in order to obtain such payment, the Acquiring Parties commence a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 8.3 or Section 8.7, the Company shall pay the Acquiring Parties their costs and expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate of two percent (2%) plus the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.

Section 8.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the Company, the Acquiring Parties and Merger Sub at any time before or after the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however that after the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, there shall be no amendment that by Law or in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange requires further approval of the stockholders of the Company. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

Section 8.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable Law, any party hereto may, in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party, (a) extend the time for the performance for its benefit of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties made to it by another party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement or condition for its benefit contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall only be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, the Acquiring Parties or Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 8.6 Expenses; Transfer Taxes. Except as expressly set forth herein (including the following sentence) and for the Magna Termination Fee, which the Acquiring Parties have caused to be paid on behalf of the Company, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such Expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated; provided that the Acquiring Parties shall pay all costs and Expenses in connection with the filings of the notification and report forms under any Antitrust Laws and Investment Screening Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company shall pay all costs and Expenses in connection with the filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement. Except as provided in Section 3.6, the Acquiring Parties, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall timely and duly pay all stock transfer, real estate transfer, stamp, documentary and other similar Taxes or fees arising out of or in connection with entering into and implementing this Agreement and consummating the transactions contemplated herein. The Company shall cooperate with the Acquiring Parties, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation in the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns, questionnaires or other documents with respect to such Taxes.

Section 8.7 Magna Payment. The Acquiring Parties agree that, at or prior to the time at which the Magna Termination Fee became due and payable by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Magna Agreement, the Acquiring Parties shall have made (or shall have caused to be made) such payment (the “Magna Payment”), and the Company agrees that it shall have validly terminated the Magna Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Magna Agreement. If the Merger does not occur, upon the termination of this Agreement (a) pursuant to (1) Section 8.1(c)(ii) (Superior Proposal), (2) Section 8.1(d)(i) (Company Breach), (3) Section 8.1(d)(ii) (Adverse Recommendation Change), (4) Section 8.1(d)(iii) (Breach of Non-Solicitation Covenant) or (b) in any circumstance where the Termination Fee is owed pursuant to Section 8.3 (for the avoidance of doubt, in any of the circumstances contemplated by Section 8.3(a)(i)), then, in each case, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days of such termination, pay, or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to or at the direction of the Acquiring Parties an amount equal to $110,000,000 as reimbursement for the Magna Payment made by the Acquiring Parties (the “Magna Termination Fee Refund”); it being understood that (x) the Magna Termination Fee Refund shall be paid in addition to any payment of the Termination Fee and (y) in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Magna Termination Fee Refund on more than one occasion.

Section 9.3 Interpretation; Certain Definitions.

(a) The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Disclosure of any fact, circumstance or information in any Section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosure of such fact, circumstance or information with respect to any other Section of the Company Disclosure Letter, if it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure relates to any such other Section; provided that no such disclosure shall qualify Section 4.1 (Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries), Section 4.2(a) (Capitalization) or Section 4.3 (Authority Relative to Agreement) unless it is set forth or specifically cross referenced in the corresponding Section of the Company Disclosure Letter. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment that the information is required to be disclosed or admission or evidence of materiality of such item, nor shall it establish any standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

(c) The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. References to articles, sections, clauses, paragraphs, exhibits, annexes and schedules are to the articles, sections, clauses and paragraphs of, and exhibits, annexes and schedules to, this Agreement, unless otherwise specified, and the table of contents and headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Words describing the singular number shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, words denoting any gender shall be deemed to include all genders, words denoting natural persons shall be deemed to include business entities and vice versa and references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. The phrases “the date of this Agreement” and “the date hereof” and terms or phrases of similar import shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the Preamble, unless the context requires otherwise. When used in reference to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the term “material” shall be measured against the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. References to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute as amended from time to time and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (provided that for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are made as of a specific date or dates, references to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute, as amended, and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as of such date). Terms defined in the text of this Agreement have such meaning throughout this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement, and all terms defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor Laws (provided that for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are made as of a specific date or dates, references to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute, as amended, and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as of such date). All references to “dollars” or “$” refer to currency of the United States of America. All references to “U.S.” or the “United States” are to the United States of America, including its territories and possessions. Any reference to “days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. Unless otherwise specified, the words “made available to,” “delivered to” or “disclosed to” the Acquiring Parties or Merger Sub (or words of similar import) means the documents (x) posted to (and not removed from) the VDR, or otherwise provided to the Acquiring Parties or their respective Representatives in response to a diligence request from the Acquiring Parties or their Representatives, prior to 12:00 pm (New York City time) on September 30, 2021 or (y) included as an exhibit to the Company SEC Documents filed with, or furnished to, the SEC by the Company on or after the Spin Date and prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 9.4 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Merger be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend that the remedies and limitations thereon contained in Section 8.3(b) be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases a party’s liability or obligations hereunder.

Section 9.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to SSW or to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of SSW, but no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement or impose any delay or cause any detriment in the parties ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 9.5 shall be null and void.

Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits, annexes and appendices hereto) constitutes, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, Investment and Separation Matters Agreement, the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that it is specifically intended that (A) the D&O Indemnified Parties (with respect to Section 6.6 from and after the Effective Time) and (B) the Company Related Parties (with respect to Section 8.3) are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

Section 9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and all Actions (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of each of the Acquiring Parties, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 9.9 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of each party hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the right of a party hereto to cause the other parties hereto to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or any other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to show proof of actual damages or provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order.

(b) To the extent any party hereto brings an Action to specifically enforce the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an Action to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives the termination of this Agreement), the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the resolution of such Action or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

Section 9.10 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby (i) expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state courts of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (v) agrees that each of the other parties hereto shall have the right to bring any Action for enforcement of a judgment entered by the state courts of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Each of the Acquiring Parties, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 9.10(a) in any such Action by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to Section 9.2. However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of a party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available method.

Section 9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall together be considered one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE ACQUIRING PARTIES, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER, ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF EACH OF THE ACQUIRING PARTIES, MERGER SUB OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

For the avoidance of doubt, Investor shall have no right to challenge any determination of QUALCOMM with respect to the Arriver/Non-Arriver Separation Planning or with respect to which assets, liabilities, contracts, Intellectual Property Rights and employees shall comprise Arriver Assets or Non-Arriver Assets, Arriver Liabilities or Non-Arriver Liabilities, Arriver Contracts or Non-Arriver Contracts, Arriver IP or Non-Arriver IP, and Arriver Employees or Non-Arriver Employees, as long as such determination is made in good faith. QUALCOMM and Investor further acknowledge and agree that if, notwithstanding the foregoing, there is a dispute regarding any such determination of QUALCOMM made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements that Investor alleges was not made in good faith, (x) Investor shall not have any right or ability to challenge such determination until after the Merger Closing and (y) QUALCOMM’s determination shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Investor’s challenge is adjudicated in accordance with Sections 11.13 and 11.14 or otherwise resolved following Merger Closing; provided, in each case, that if the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing and the Arriver Sale Closing occur immediately after the Merger Closing, no such challenge shall be made or adjudicated in accordance with Sections 11.13 and 11.14 or otherwise resolved until after completion of the Merger Closing, the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing and the Arriver Sale Closing.

(c)            For any Shared Contract that QUALCOMM has determined shall be a Non-Arriver Shared Contract, Investor and QUALCOMM shall use their respective reasonable best efforts prior to the Non-Arriver Extraction Effective Time to cause the counterparty to each Non-Arriver Shared Contract to consent to the assignment of those rights under such Non-Arriver Shared Contract that relate to the Non-Arriver Business to the applicable member of the Investor Group and the retention of those rights under such Non-Arriver Shared Contract that relate to the Arriver Business by the applicable member of the Veoneer Group, and otherwise reasonably cooperate in good faith in respect of efforts for an applicable member of the Veoneer Group to enter into a new Contract with the counterparty to the Non-Arriver Shared Contract on substantially the same terms as exist under such Non-Arriver Shared Contract as of the Non-Arriver Extraction Effective Time; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.7(c) shall require Investor or any of its Affiliates to make any payment or other concession to such counterparty, or commence or participate in any Action, in each case, in connection with such Non-Arriver Shared Contract.

3.8      Shared Leases. Prior to the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing, QUALCOMM shall determine, with respect to each Shared Lease, whether (a) the real property theretofore leased, licensed or occupied by Veoneer and its Subsidiaries pursuant to such Shared Lease will be made available exclusively to the Arriver Business from and after the Non-Arriver Extraction Effective Time (subject to the use, if any, of such real property by the Non-Arriver Business as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement), in which case such Shared Lease shall be deemed to be an “Arriver Lease” for purposes of this Agreement, (b) the real property theretofore leased, licensed or occupied by Veoneer and its Subsidiaries pursuant to such Shared Lease will be made available exclusively to the Non-Arriver Business from and after the Non-Arriver Extraction Effective Time (subject to the use, if any, of such real property by the Arriver Business as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement), in which case such Shared Lease shall be deemed to be a “Non-Arriver Lease” for purposes of this Agreement, or (c) the real property theretofore leased, licensed or occupied by Veoneer and its Subsidiaries pursuant to such Shared Lease will be made available to both the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business from and after the Non-Arriver Extraction Effective Time, in which case (i) such real property shall be allocated between the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business and separated accordingly (by demising walls or otherwise), (ii) the leasing arrangements with respect to such real property shall be modified or supplemented (by way of assignment, replacement, sublease, license or otherwise) such that the Arriver Business is entitled to use the portion of such real property allocated to the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business is entitled to use the portion of such real property allocated to the Non-Arriver Business (it being understood that the resulting leasing arrangements may bind and benefit (x) the Arriver Group even though the same do not constitute Arriver Leases for purposes of this Agreement and/or (y) the Investor Group even though the same do not constitute Non-Arriver Leases for purposes of this Agreement), and (iii) the costs of such separation and such modification or supplement shall be equitably allocated between the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business, as determined (in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii)) by QUALCOMM. QUALCOMM shall make each of the determinations described in the immediately preceding sentence in good faith in order to best effectuate the intended separation of the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business and the intent of Section 3.1.3.9      Insurance. QUALCOMM shall determine in good faith the allocation of all claims and other rights of Veoneer and its Subsidiaries under any insurance policies in effect as of the Merger Closing as between the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business following the completion of the Arriver Sale in order to effectuate the intended separation of the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business, including to make available to Investor, to the extent reasonably practicable, insurance proceeds and related rights under such insurance policies to the extent relating to claims with respect to the Non-Arriver Business.

QUALCOMM is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and (to the extent applicable) in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has the requisite entity power and authority to conduct its business as it is now being conducted, except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to prevent, materially impair, delay or impede the ability of QUALCOMM to effect the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Merger Agreement, including the Merger Transactions and the Non-Arriver Extraction. QUALCOMM is duly qualified or licensed to do business and (to the extent applicable) is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and (to the extent applicable) in good standing would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to prevent, materially impair, delay or impede the ability of QUALCOMM to effect the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Merger Agreement, including the Merger Transactions and the Non-Arriver Extraction. QUALCOMM has made available to Investor a copy of QUALCOMM’s Organizational Documents, as currently in effect, and QUALCOMM is not in violation of any provision of such documents applicable to it.

(b)            No Consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to QUALCOMM or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than (i) such items required solely by reason of the participation of Veoneer in the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) compliance with and filings or notifications under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws and Investment Screening Laws and (iii) such other Consents, registrations, declarations, filings or notices the failure of which to be obtained or made would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to prevent, materially impair, delay or impede the ability of QUALCOMM to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.

All covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement that by their terms contemplate performance in whole or in part after the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing shall survive the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing in accordance with their respective terms, and all covenants and agreements of Investor, on the one hand, and of QUALCOMM, on the other, set forth in this Agreement to the extent their terms contemplate performance at or prior to the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing shall terminate at the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing; provided that this Article X shall survive the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing in accordance with its terms. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (or any certificate to be delivered in connection with this Agreement) shall terminate at and not survive the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing, and there shall be no liability after the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing in respect thereof, except to the extent resulting from Fraud. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, from and after the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing (other than in the case of Fraud and other than obligations relating to periods from and after the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing as provided for in the Transaction Documents), each Party hereto, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and Representatives, hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (and discharges and releases the other Parties (and their respective Affiliates and Representatives) from) any and all Actions, causes of action, debts, damages, obligations, liabilities and rights whatsoever, at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, now existing or which may hereafter accrue, directly or indirectly, arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements (and, in each case, claims for breach thereof) that expressly survive the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing pursuant to this Section 10.1.

(iii)            any breach by QUALCOMM or any member of the Arriver Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

10.3            Indemnification Claim Process.

(a)            All claims for indemnification by either a Non-Arriver Indemnitee or an Arriver Indemnitee under this Article X against the applicable indemnifying party pursuant to Section 10.2 (an “Indemnitor”) shall be asserted and resolved in accordance with Sections 10.3 and 10.4.

(b)            If an Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article X in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall promptly, but in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days following such Indemnitee’s knowledge of the basis for making a claim hereunder, notify the Indemnitor in writing of such claim, describing such claim in reasonable detail and the amount or estimated amount of Losses (the “Claims Notice”); provided, that failure to give such notification on a timely basis will not waive the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that such failure to give such notification results in (i) the forfeiture by the Indemnitor of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim or (ii) prejudice to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim.

(c)            The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Indemnitor received the Claims Notice to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor desires to control the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not be entitled to assume or continue the defense thereof if the Third Party Claim (i) seeks, in addition to or lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief (other than such relief that is incidental to the award of money damages), (ii) presents, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor or (iii) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action, indictment, allegation or investigation (such Third Party Claim in the case of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), an “Excluded Third Party Claim”; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Third Party Claim in the case of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) relates exclusively to the Arriver Business or QUALCOMM, it shall not be an Excluded Third Party Claim); provided, further, that in no event shall such control of the defense be deemed to be an admission or assumption of liability on the part of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of such claim in accordance herewith: (x) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnitor shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; (y) the Indemnitee shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (z) the Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee unless (A) such judgment or settlement does not provide for any admission of liability by any Indemnitee, (B) the judgment or settlement provides solely for the payment of money by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor makes such payment and (C) the Indemnitee receives an unconditional release with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with Third Party Claims, and cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d)            If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claims Notice, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume such defense upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor and will be entitled recover the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense from the Indemnitor to the extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article X; provided, however, that the Indemnitor (i) shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense; and (ii) shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

10.4            Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Arriver Indemnitee or Non-Arriver Indemnitee, as applicable, will deliver a Claims Notice to the Indemnitor promptly upon its discovery of any matter for which the Indemnitor may be liable to the Indemnitee hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim; provided, that failure to promptly give such notification will not waive the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that such failure to give such notification results in (a) the forfeiture by the Indemnitor of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim or (b) prejudice to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim. The Arriver Indemnitee or Non-Arriver Indemnitee, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitor in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnitee and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters, all at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense.

10.5            Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except with respect to claims for equitable relief, claims arising from Fraud or claims for breaches of any payment obligation under this Agreement (except the indemnification obligations under this Article X), the indemnification provisions of this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parties following the Arriver Sale Closing for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties in this Agreement or in any certificate to be delivered in connection with this Agreement.

10.6            Calculation of Losses; Limitations.

(a)            The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be (i) net of any reserves, liability accruals or other provisions that are specifically identifiable as being for such Loss on the face of the financial statements of the Indemnitee (including the notes thereto), (ii) net of any amounts (net of all Liabilities incurred in connection with insurance recovery) actually recovered by any Indemnitee from third parties under insurance policies (which for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude self-insurance) (and each Indemnitee shall use reasonable best efforts to recover such amounts under applicable third party insurance policies), (iii) (A) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnitee or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the incurrence of any such Loss and (B) increased to take account of any net Tax detriment actually realized (including as a result of the taxability of any indemnity payment) by the Indemnitee or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the incurrence of any such Loss, in each case determined on a “with-and-without” basis. If the Indemnitee subsequently recovers any such amounts after having received indemnification payments hereunder, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay such amounts over to the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall pay to the Indemnitee the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account specified by the Indemnitee no later than five (5) Business Days following any Final Determination of the claims set forth in the related Claims Notice.

(b)            Under no circumstances shall any Indemnitee be entitled to be indemnified for speculative, consequential, lost profit or punitive damages except to the extent either (i) such Losses were payable pursuant to a Third Party Claim; or (ii) such Losses were reasonably foreseeable.

(c)            The party seeking indemnification under this Article X shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss which forms the basis of an indemnification claim hereunder.

Qualcomm and SSW Partners Reach Definitive Agreement to Acquire Veoneer

• All-cash transaction at $37.00 per share provides superior value to Veoneer shareholders

• Acquisition agreement structure positions all of Veoneer’s businesses for success

• Augments Qualcomm’s ability to create an open and competitive ADAS platform for the global auto industry

• SSW Partners to acquire Veoneer’s RCS and Active Safety businesses and lead the process to find long-term strategic partners

SAN DIEGO, NEW YORK and STOCKHOLM, October 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) and SSW Partners, a New York-based investment partnership (“SSW Partners”), today announced they have reached a definitive agreement to acquire Veoneer, Inc. (NYSE: VNE; SSE: VNE SDB) for $37.00 per share in an all-cash transaction, representing a total equity value for Veoneer of $4.5 billion. Veoneer has terminated its prior acquisition agreement with Magna International Inc. (“Magna”) and canceled its October 19, 2021, special meeting that was previously scheduled to approve that agreement.

At closing, SSW Partners will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Veoneer, shortly after which it will sell the Arriver business to Qualcomm and retain Veoneer’s Tier-1 supplier businesses. SSW Partners will lead the process of finding strong, long-term strategic partners. This transaction structure facilitates the long-term success of all Veoneer’s businesses.

Having already demonstrated a successful partnership with Arriver, Qualcomm believes that the Arriver business will thrive at Qualcomm. Upon close of the transactions, Qualcomm will incorporate Arriver’s Computer Vision, Drive Policy and Driver Assistance assets into its leading Snapdragon Ride™ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) solution. This will augment Qualcomm’s ability to deliver an open and competitive ADAS platform for automakers and Tier-1s at scale.

SSW Partners will work with Veoneer’s management to ensure the pursuit of Veoneer’s existing business plan and to identify strong, long-term strategic partners for the Restraint Control Systems (RCS) and Active Safety businesses. The principals of SSW Partners have substantial investing, operating and transaction experience internationally, as well as a track record of success in collaborating with management teams in multiple geographies and industries. They are experienced investors and advisors in both Europe and the automotive sector and will prioritize the smooth continuation of business activities for the customers and employees of the RCS and Active Safety businesses. SSW Partners’ investment in Veoneer will represent its first capital commitment as a partnership since its founding at the beginning of the year.

“Qualcomm is the natural owner of Arriver. By integrating these assets, Qualcomm accelerates its ability to deliver a leading and horizontal ADAS solution as part of its digital chassis platform,” said Cristiano Amon, president and CEO of Qualcomm Incorporated. “We believe that this transaction and structure benefits both Qualcomm’s and Veoneer’s shareholders, positions all of Veoneer’s businesses for success and provides a compelling opportunity to customers and employees.”

“This transaction creates superior value for our shareholders,” said Jan Carlson, Chairman, President and CEO of Veoneer. “It also provides attractive opportunities to our Arriver team at Qualcomm and allows our other businesses to find long-term industrial partners where they can continue to develop.”

Mr. Carlson continued, “Our board and management team remain focused on delivering on our objectives, driving continuous improvements across the organization and launching new technologies and programs for our customers. Despite significant industry-wide challenges, our team has done an outstanding job positioning Veoneer for success, building on our leading ecosystem of partners, cutting-edge technology and a strong order book.”

“We are excited to partner with Qualcomm to acquire Veoneer,” said Antonio Weiss and Josh Steiner of SSW Partners. “While Qualcomm focuses on the Arriver business, we will focus on finding strong, long-term strategic homes for the rest of Veoneer’s businesses – we are committed to ensuring that Veoneer’s employees prosper, the businesses continue to innovate and grow and customers continue to have uninterrupted access to the outstanding service and quality for which Veoneer is known. We have high regard for Veoneer’s management team and look forward to partnering with them to ensure a successful outcome for all stakeholders.”

Transaction Details

The cash purchase price of $37.00 per share represents an 18% premium to Veoneer’s prior agreement with Magna, and an 86% premium to the unaffected share price prior to the announcement of the Magna agreement. The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of Qualcomm and Veoneer and is subject to approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 in the United States, certain European foreign direct investment approvals, approval by Veoneer stockholders and other customary conditions. The transaction is expected to close in 2022.

The announcement follows the Veoneer board’s determination, with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, that a formal acquisition offer Veoneer received from Qualcomm and SSW Partners on October 1, 2021 constitutes a “Superior Proposal” under the terms of Veoneer’s merger agreement with Magna dated July 22, 2021. Magna has waived its right to submit a revised proposal to Veoneer.

Centerview Partners LLC and Evercore Group L.L.C. acted as financial advisors to Qualcomm and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP acted as legal counsel. Davis Polk & Wardwell acted as legal counsel to SSW Partners. Morgan Stanley and Rothschild & Co. acted as financial advisors to Veoneer, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP acted as legal counsel.
