To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the proper Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Purchased Asset is not assignable or transferable (each, a “ Non-Transferable Asset ”) without a Consent, and any such Consent is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement and the related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of such Non-Transferable Asset, and Purchaser or its designee(s) shall not assume the Seller Parties’ rights or obligations under such Non-Transferable Asset (and such Non-Transferable Asset shall not be included in the Purchased Assets), and instead the Seller Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Consent as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and, if such consent is successfully obtained, the Seller Parties shall transfer and assign to Purchaser such Non-Transferable Asset for no additional consideration. Following any such assignment or transfer, all such Non-Transferable Assets shall be deemed Purchased Assets for purposes of this Agreement.

(a) List of Employee Plans . Section 2.8(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of the date hereof, a complete and correct list of all Employee Plans. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Employee Plan ” means:

(iv) any Contracts between Seller and any Identified Employee, including any Contracts relating in any way to a sale of Seller, the Interconnect Program or the Purchased Assets.

(b) Employee Plans Made Available . Seller has made available to Purchaser a complete and correct copy of each such Employee Plan (or, in the case of Employee Plans that are subject

Neither Seller nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has any commitment (A) to create, incur material Liability with respect to, or cause to exist any new employee benefit plan, program or arrangement that would be considered, an Employee Plan or (B) to modify, change or terminate any Employee Plan, other than with respect to a modification, change or termination required by Applicable Laws. Each Employee Plan is in writing and maintained only in the U.S. and is subject only to the Laws of the U.S. or a political subdivision thereof.

(c) Multiemployer, Title IV and Other Funded Plans . Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains, sponsors or contributes to, or has ever maintained, sponsored or contributed to, a multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA, a single employer pension plan within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA for which Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates could incur Liability under Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA), a plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or a “funded welfare plan” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code, with respect to which Purchaser could have any Liability.

Neither the execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents nor the consummation of the Transactions (either together with or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) will constitute an event under any Employee Plan or other Contract that will or may reasonably be expected to result in any payment (including severance or termination pay) or any acceleration, vesting, increase, funding (including the segregation of assets to fund) or provision of benefits thereunder, in each case, to any Identified Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof), whether or not any such payment or benefit would be an “excess parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code).

(e) Compliance with Law . Each Employee Plan is now and always has been operated in all material respects in accordance with its terms and the requirements of all Applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code. Seller and each of its ERISA Affiliates have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it and Seller does not have any Knowledge of any default or violation in any material respect by any other party to any Employee Plan. There are no Actions or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened in writing or reasonably anticipated or expected to be asserted with respect to any Employee Plan or any related trust or other funding medium thereunder.

To the Knowledge of Seller, no fact or event has occurred since the date of such determination, advisory and/or opinion letter or letters from the IRS that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Employee Plan or the exempt status of any such trust.

(f) WARN Act . The Seller and its Subsidiaries are in full compliance with the Worker Readjustment and Notification Act of 1988 (29 USC §2101), as amended, or any applicable state laws or other Applicable Laws regarding redundancies, reductions in force, mass layoffs, and plant closings, including all obligations to promptly and correctly furnish all notices required to be given thereunder in connection with any redundancy, reduction in force, mass layoff, or plant closing to affected employees, representatives, any state dislocated worker unit and local government officials, or any other Governmental Authority (collectively, the “ WARN Act ”). No reduction in the notification period under the WARN Act is being relied upon by the Seller or its Subsidiaries.

(ii) Each current or former employee, officer, director, consultant and contractor of Seller or any Related Subsidiary who is or has been involved in the creation, development, writing, invention, conception or discovery of the Seller Intellectual Property has executed and delivered to Seller or the relevant Related Subsidiary enforceable proprietary information, confidentiality and assignment agreements that require each individual to maintain in confidence all confidential or proprietary information (as defined in such agreements) acquired by them in the course of their employment or service and assign to Seller or such Related Subsidiary all Intellectual Property Rights created, developed, written, invented, conceived or discovered by such employees, officers, consultants or contractors, as applicable, in the scope of such employment or service. There has been no disclosure by Seller or any Related Subsidiary or any of its or their employees, officers, directors, consultants, or contractors of any Trade Secrets included in the Seller Interconnect Technology that would compromise the confidentiality of such Trade Secrets or their status or protectibility under Applicable Law. In each case in which Seller or any Related Subsidiary has acquired ownership (or claimed or purported to acquire ownership) of any Seller Intellectual Property from any Person, including any employee, officer, director, consultant and contractor of Seller or any Related Subsidiary, Seller or the applicable Related

Subsidiary has obtained a valid and enforceable assignment sufficient to transfer ownership of and all rights (other than those not assignable under Law) with respect to such Seller Intellectual Property to Seller or such Related Subsidiary irrevocably. All assignments of Seller Intellectual Property to Seller or any Related Subsidiary that are or may be required to be filed or recorded in order to cause such assignment to be valid or effective against bona fide purchasers without notice of such assignment have been duly executed and filed or recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the U.S. Copyright Office, as applicable, and any applicable Governmental Entity elsewhere; provided however that neither Seller nor Related Subsidiary has registered Copyrights with the U.S. Copyright Office or any other Governmental Entity, nor filed or recorded any assignments of such unregistered Copyrights.

(iii) Neither Seller nor any of the Related Subsidiaries do owe any compensation or remuneration to a current or former employee, officer, director, consultant or contractor in relation to any Seller Intellectual Property (other than amounts owed as part of salaries for any such employees, officers or directors), including with respect to any Patent in the Seller Intellectual Property that is based on an invention of, or Copyright in the Seller Intellectual Property that is based on a work of, any current or former employee, officer, director, consultant or contractor of Seller or any Related Subsidiary. There is no Patent, Copyright, or other Intellectual Property Rights included in the Seller Intellectual Property that is owned, exclusively licensed, or otherwise held by a current or former employee, officer, director, consultant or contractor of Seller or any Related Subsidiary.

(iv) All of the Assigned Patents are valid, subsisting, and enforceable (other than pending applications thereof), and have not been abandoned or passed into the public domain. Seller or one of the Related Subsidiaries, as applicable, is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Seller Assigned Intellectual Property. To the Knowledge of Seller, there are no facts, circumstances, or information that would or reasonably could be expected to render any of the Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Seller Assigned Intellectual Property invalid or unenforceable. There are no facts, circumstances or information (except for any facts, circumstances or information that are particular to Purchaser, as to which Seller makes no representation) that would or reasonably could be expected to adversely affect, limit, restrict, impair, or impede the ability of Purchaser to use, practice and otherwise exploit the Intellectual Property Rights embodied in the Seller Intellectual Property upon the Closing in the same manner as currently used, practiced and otherwise exploited by Seller and the Related Subsidiaries. Neither Seller nor any of the Related Subsidiaries has received any written notice or claim (a) challenging Seller’s or any of the Related Subsidiary’s sole and exclusive ownership of any Seller Intellectual Property, or (b) suggesting that any other Person has any claim of legal or beneficial ownership with respect thereto or suggesting that any such Seller Intellectual Property is invalid or unenforceable or otherwise challenging or threatening such Seller Intellectual Property in any way.

None of the Assigned Patents is subject to any compulsory license.

(c) Copyrights . Neither Seller nor any of the Related Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action (including a failure to disclose required information to the U.S. Copyright Office, or any corresponding office, department, organization, agency or other Governmental Entity elsewhere where applicable), or used or enforced (or failed to use or enforce) any Copyrights included in the Seller Assigned Intellectual Property in a manner that would result in (or reasonably be expected to result in) the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Copyright, or that would result in (or reasonably be expected to result in) such Copyright passing into the public domain. Seller and the

(b) Each of the parties will hold, and will cause its Representatives to hold, in confidence all documents and information furnished to it by or on behalf of another party to this Agreement in connection with the Transactions pursuant to the terms of the CNDA and Section 5.1 ( Confidentiality ).

(a) The parties understand and agree that this Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the certain Corporate Non-Disclosure Agreement No. 7025920 entered into between Purchaser and Seller, dated August 7, 2008, as amended, and attached hereto as Exhibit C (as may be further amended, the “ CNDA ”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, following the Closing (i) all Trade Secrets included in the Purchased Assets shall constitute confidential information of Purchaser (and not of the Seller Parties), irrespective of whether such Trade Secrets were identified or otherwise designated as “confidential,” and the Seller Parties shall be deemed the “receiving party” and Purchaser the “disclosing party” with respect thereto; (ii) Purchaser shall have no obligations whatsoever under the CNDA with respect to such Trade Secrets; and (iii) with respect to such Trade Secrets, the Seller Parties’ obligations pursuant to the CNDA shall apply (except to the extent such obligations are modified or superseded by, or otherwise inconsistent with, the provisions of the Intellectual Property Agreement or any other Transaction Document) until such Trade Secrets become publicly known other than through negligence or any other wrongful act or omission of Seller or any of its Affiliates.

Section 5.2 Public Announcements . Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other party, except as such release or statement may be required by Applicable Law, including the rules or regulations of any U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange, in which case each of Seller and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance and will consider in good faith the advice of such other party with respect thereto.

(a) Section 2.9(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of those Employees, as mutually agreed between Seller and Purchaser, to whom Purchaser may elect to offer employment following the Closing with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (the “ Identified Employees ”). Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such designees enter into compensation profiles and/or offers with Purchaser or a Subsidiary thereof (each, a “ Purchaser Employer ”), as soon as practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the Closing Date, which compensation profiles and/or offers shall become effective upon the Closing and shall provide terms and conditions deemed by Purchaser to be reasonably attractive to the Identified Employees. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to make an offer of employment to any employee of Seller or its Subsidiaries. Effective no later than immediately prior to the Closing, Seller shall terminate, at its own expense, the employment of each of those Identified Employees who has received but not accepted an offer of employment with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have no obligation to terminate the employment of any Identified Employee who has not received an offer of employment from a Purchaser Employer prior to the Closing Date and Seller may, in its sole discretion, continue to employ any such Identified Employee. Identified Employees who accept compensation profiles and/or offers of employment from a Purchaser Employer shall be entitled to the benefits and such other terms and conditions of employment described in their respective compensation profiles and/or offers as the case may be, as determined in the sole discretion of Purchaser; provided that Transferred Employees will generally be eligible to participate in the employee benefit and compensation plans of the applicable Purchaser Employer that are generally available to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser Employer, and in accordance with the terms of such plans from time to time with credit given for years of service at Seller for select programs in accordance with Purchaser’s standard human resources policies and practices and consistent with past practice.

(b) The timing and content of any announcement or notification to the Identified Employees with respect to the Transactions (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any press release or other public statement (which are separately addressed in Section 5.2 ( Public Announcements )) or any compensation profiles and/or offers of employment or independent contractor agreements or related communications to the Identified Employees) shall be subject to the approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of each of Purchaser and Seller. Seller will consult with Purchaser (and will consider in good faith the advice of Purchaser) prior to sending any notices or other communication materials relating to the Transactions to employees or independent contractors of Seller and its Subsidiaries.

(c) As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall notify the Identified Employees that all claims for expenses which qualify for coverage under the terms of the Employee Plans and which are incurred on or prior to the Closing Date must be submitted within the time limit provided by the Employee Plans and no later than five (5) days after the Closing Date.

(d) Seller shall, at its own expense, give all notices and other information required to be given to the Identified Employees, any labor or trade union, works council or any other employee representative body, and any applicable Governmental Entity under the WARN Act, the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, the Code, COBRA and other Applicable Laws in connection with the execution of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the consummation of the Transactions. Neither Seller nor its Subsidiaries will take any action prior to the Closing that would or could reasonably be expected to constitute a plant closing or mass layoff within the meaning of, or otherwise trigger notice, compensation, or other obligations under the WARN Act.

(a) Property Taxes . All real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets (“ Property Taxes ”) for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such taxable period included in the Post-Closing Tax Period. Following the Closing, Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Purchaser shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Seller shall notify Purchaser upon receipt of any bill for such Property Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets, part or all of which are attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period, and shall promptly deliver such bill to Purchaser who shall pay the same to the appropriate Taxing Authority; provided, that if such bill covers any part of the Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall also remit prior to the due date of such Property Taxes to Purchaser payment for the proportionate amount of such bill that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period. In the event that either Seller or Purchaser shall thereafter provide the other party with evidence of having made a payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this subsection, the other party shall make such reimbursement promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

(b) Transfer Taxes . Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay when due any U.S. federal or state or Canadian federal, provincial or territorial Transfer Taxes imposed on the transfer, pursuant to this Agreement, of the Purchased Assets which are located in the U.S. or Canada. Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable proof of payment. The parties hereto shall cooperate, to the extent reasonably requested and as permitted by Applicable Law, in minimizing any such Transfer Taxes. Purchaser agrees to accept by electronic transfer or transfer in another manner reasonably calculated and legally permitted to minimize or avoid the incurrence of Transfer Taxes, all intangible property included within the Purchased Assets. The party required by Applicable Law to file a Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall do so within the time period prescribed by Applicable Law, and Seller shall promptly remit to Purchaser the amount of any Transfer Taxes for which it is responsible pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) so payable by Purchaser upon receipt of notice that such Transfer Taxes are payable. In the event that Purchaser shall make a payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this subsection, Seller shall make such reimbursement promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which Purchaser is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

(c) Responsibility for Payment of Taxes . Taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets and Seller Licensed Intellectual Property other than those treated specifically in subsections (a) and (b) above, shall be borne by Seller with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and by the Purchaser with respect to the Post-Closing Tax Period as if the taxable year of Seller ended on the Closing Date.

(d) Cooperation in Tax Matters . The parties hereto agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to one another, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim or proceeding relating to any Tax Return. In the event any Taxing Authority informs Seller or Purchaser of any notice of proposed audit, claim, assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of Taxes related to the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property with respect to which the other party may incur Liability hereunder, the party so informed shall promptly

notify the other party of such matter; provided that, failure to promptly notify shall not reduce the other party’s indemnity obligation hereunder, except to the extent such party’s ability to defend against such matter is actually prejudiced thereby; and provided further, that resolution of such audit, claim, assessment or other dispute shall be governed by Section 8.3 ( Third Party Actions ).

(a) At any time or from time to time after the Closing, at the other party’s request, at no cost to the requesting party and without further consideration, each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to (i) execute and deliver to the other party such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as the requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to effectively transfer, convey and assign to Purchaser, and to confirm Purchaser’s title to, all of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law or contract, to put Purchaser in actual possession and operating control of the Purchased Assets, and to cause the parties to fulfill their respective obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; and (ii) cooperate with the other party to contest or defend against any Action relating to the Transactions.

(b) If after the Closing, either Purchaser or Seller in good faith identifies any asset of Seller or its Subsidiaries properly transferrable as a Purchased Asset that was not included in the Purchased Assets transferred at the Closing (any such asset, a “ Later Identified Asset ”), then either Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, will provide written notice to the other party identifying such Later Identified Asset and Seller will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, as promptly as practicable after written notice by Purchaser, transfer, convey, assign, deliver, or cause to be transferred, conveyed, assigned, or delivered to Purchaser, all right, title and interest of Seller and its Subsidiaries in and to such Later Identified Asset which is transferable, and such Later Identified Assets shall be deemed to be Purchased Assets for purposes of this Agreement and any applicable Transaction Document, effective as of the date of transfer, conveyance, assignment, or delivery. If within thirty (30) days after the Closing, Seller specifically identifies in writing to Purchaser an Excluded Asset that was transferred, conveyed, assigned, or delivered inadvertently by Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, then Purchaser will as promptly as practicable after written notice by Seller, transfer, convey, assign, or deliver back to Seller all such transferred right, title and interest of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries in and to such Excluded Asset which is transferable.

(c) To the extent that Purchaser cannot be granted physical possession of any Purchased Asset as of the Closing Date, such Purchased Asset shall be held by the Seller Parties for and on behalf of Purchaser until such time as Purchaser is able to take possession thereof.

(a) Unless specifically permitted in the Transaction Documents, Seller agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, it shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives not to, retain (other than as retained through automated retention or backup processes) or use any copy of any of the Seller Assigned Intellectual Property. Without limitation of Section 5.5 ( Further Actions ), if any of the Seller Parties (or any assignee or successor of the Seller Parties) retains any right or interest in any Seller Assigned Intellectual Property that cannot be, or for any reason is not, assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, each of the Seller Parties hereby grants, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns (and agrees to so grant or cause to be so granted) to Purchaser, effective as of the Closing, a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free and fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple levels), exclusive, worldwide right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform

(whether publicly or otherwise), prepare derivative works of and otherwise modify, make, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise use and exploit, and exercise and practice all rights under, all or any portion of such Seller Assigned Intellectual Property.

(b) If Purchaser is unable to enforce any of the Seller Assigned Intellectual Property against a third party as a result of any Applicable Law that prohibits enforcement of such rights by a transferee of such rights, at Purchaser’s request and subject to the applicable Seller Party’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) the Seller Party shall initiate or join proceedings against such third party. Purchaser shall control such proceedings and shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of such proceedings (including the Seller Party’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in participating in such proceedings at Purchaser’s request).

(c) Without limitation of Section 5.5 ( Further Actions ), to the extent any disclosures, elections, and/or notices are required by applicable regulations and contract terms to protect ownership of inventions developed, conceived or first actually reduced to practice under Government Contracts related to the Assigned Patents or Assigned Technology (including where the creation of the invention was in progress at the time of the Closing but where the initial disclosures, elections, and/or notices were not yet required), Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to timely execute and deliver such disclosures, elections and/or notices as may be required to protect Purchaser’s interest in the Assigned Patents and Assigned Technology.

If during such period Seller or any of its Subsidiaries elects to dispose of such records and documents, Seller shall give Purchaser sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, during which period Purchaser shall have the right to take such records and documents without further consideration.

(a) From and after the date hereof and until the earlier of three (3) years after the Closing and the lapsing pursuant to Section 1.7(b) of the Intellectual Property Agreement of the noncompete and other exclusions, limitations and restrictions of the licenses granted to Seller under the Intellectual Property Agreement, Seller and its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on such Person’s own behalf or on behalf of some other Person (i) acquire an ownership interest in, sponsor, organize, or invest in, or attempt to do any of the foregoing, any Person that commercializes or sells Interconnect Products on a stand-alone or substantially stand-alone basis (except for the purpose of modifying or optimizing an Interconnect Product, or developing, modifying or optimizing a commercial product other than an Interconnect Product, in each case if such product is exclusively acquired by Seller or its Affiliates and is not commercialized by Seller or its Affiliates in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 5.8(a) ); (ii) commercialize or sell Interconnect Products on a stand-alone or substantially stand-alone basis, except as authorized by the Transaction Documents; (iii) commercialize or sell Interconnect Products (not on a stand-alone or substantially stand-alone basis) that are primarily developed by Seller or its Affiliates except as authorized by the Transaction Documents; (iv) disparage or make any false statements (whether in oral, written, electronic or other form) to any media source, industry member-company or group, financial institution or actual or prospective customer for products

Purchaser shall seek the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed by Seller in its sole discretion) in connection with Purchaser’s agreement to any settlement or compromise of any such third party Action. Any such written consent by Seller shall represent the agreement of Seller that the Losses incurred in connection therewith shall be indemnifiable hereunder. In

the event that Purchaser shall fail to obtain such written consent of Seller, Purchaser may agree to any such settlement or compromise, and may make a Purchaser Indemnification Claim therefor, but the resolution of such claim (including whether and to what extent Purchaser or any other Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for such Purchaser Indemnification Claim) shall remain subject to this Article.

Seller shall seek the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed by Purchaser in its sole discretion) in connection with Seller’s agreement to any settlement or compromise of any such third party Action. Any such written consent by Purchaser shall represent the agreement of Purchaser that the Losses incurred in connection therewith shall be indemnifiable hereunder. In the event that Seller shall fail to obtain such written consent of Purchaser, Seller may agree to any such settlement or compromise, and may make a Seller Indemnification Claim therefor, but the resolution of such claim (including whether and to what extent Seller or any other Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for such Seller Indemnification Claim) shall remain subject to this Article.

(a) In the event that an Indemnitee seeks a recovery in accordance with the terms of this Article, in respect of a Purchaser Indemnification Claim or Seller Indemnification Claim (as applicable, an “ Indemnification Claim ”), Purchaser (on behalf of such other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) or Seller (on behalf of such other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable) shall deliver a written notice (a “ Claim Notice ”) to Seller or Purchaser (such party obligated to provide indemnification under this Article, the “ Indemnifying Party ”), as the case may be. Each Claim Notice shall, with respect to each Indemnification Claim set forth therein, (i) specify in reasonable detail and in good faith the nature of the Indemnification Claim being made and (ii) state the aggregate Dollar amount of Losses to which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article that have been incurred, or a good faith estimate of the aggregate Dollar amount of such Losses reasonably expected to be incurred, by such Indemnitee pursuant to such Indemnification Claim (the “ Claim Amount ”).

If the parties should so agree, (i) a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and executed by Purchaser (on behalf of any other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) or Seller (on behalf of any other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable), as the case may be, and the Indemnifying Party and (ii) with respect to any Purchaser Indemnification Claim, as promptly as practicable and within ten (10) Business Days following execution of such memorandum, subject to subsection (d) below and Section 8.2(c) ( Indemnification ), the

In the event that the parties do not prepare and sign such a memorandum or such memorandum does not address in full the written objections timely delivered, within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt by Purchaser (on behalf of any other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) or Seller (on behalf of any other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable), as the case may be, from the Indemnifying Party of the written objection, then Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, may commence an Action to resolve such dispute and enforce its rights with respect thereto in any court available therefor.

(c) If Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, does not receive a response from the Indemnifying Party with respect to any Indemnification Claim set forth in a Claim Notice by the end of the twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in subsection (b) above, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to object to such Indemnification Claim and to have agreed that Losses in the amount of the applicable Claim Amount are indemnifiable hereunder and (ii) with respect to any Purchaser Indemnification Claim, as promptly as practicable and within five (5) Business Days following expiration of such period, subject to subsection (d) below and Section 8.2(c) ( Indemnification ), Seller shall pay the Claim Amount to Purchaser, or (iii) with respect to any Seller Indemnification Claim, as promptly as practicable and within five (5) Business Days following expiration of such period, subject to subsection (d) below, Purchaser shall pay the Claim Amount to Seller.

(d) Any amount payable by the Indemnifying Party to Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) above shall be paid promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the applicable payment obligation accrues) by the Indemnifying Party by wire transfer of Dollars in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated in writing by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be. Any amounts paid to Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, in respect of any Indemnification Claim asserted on behalf of an Indemnitee other than Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be received by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, on behalf of such other Indemnitee.
