(a) If Buyer determines, prior to the Closing, that it desires to acquire certain Excluded Tools, Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller at least six (6) months prior to the Closing setting forth an itemized list of each Excluded Tool that Buyer wishes to purchase at the Closing and Buyers determination of fair market value for each such Tool (such notice, the Additional Asset Notice).
(b) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, determine the Excluded Tools set forth on the Additional Asset Notice that may be acquired by Buyer at the Closing and the parties will negotiate in good faith the fair market value for each such Excluded Tool; provided that Seller shall have no obligation to sell, and Buyer shall have no obligation to acquire, any such Excluded Tool until such time as the fair market value is mutually agreed, and any such Excluded Tools for which the parties reach agreement as to fair market value prior to the Closing (the Additional Assets) shall irrevocably become Transferred Assets, and the Purchase Price shall be increased by the fair market value of the Additional Assets (the aggregate amount of such fair market value, the Additional Amount).
4
(c) In addition, Seller may, in its sole discretion, determine any Excluded Tools that Buyer may elect to acquire prior to Closing to be designated as Consigned Tools (as such term is defined in the FTSA Attachment No. 1), and the parties will negotiate in good faith the fair market value for each such Tool; provided that Seller shall have no obligation to sell, and Buyer shall have no obligation to acquire, any such Excluded Tool until such time as the fair market value is mutually agreed, and any such Excluded Tool for which the parties reach agreement as to fair market value and is acquired by Buyer prior to the Closing will be designated as Consigned Tools in accordance with the FTSA Attachment No. 1.
(d) In addition to the foregoing, (i) from time to time upon a written request from Buyer (but in no event more often than once every fiscal year) and (ii) in addition, upon a written request from Buyer delivered no earlier than six (6) months prior to the then-anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer (A) a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail (1) the Transferred Assets described in clauses (b), (d), (e), (g) and (i) of Section 2.01 and (2) any changes thereto from the date hereof, and the Steering Committee shall discuss and determine in good faith any appropriate modifications to Section 2.01 (including to any Sections of the Seller Disclosure Letter referenced therein or in the associated definitions in Exhibit A to this Agreement), at no further consideration, consistent with the understanding of the parties on the date of this Agreement, and (B) an updated Seller Disclosure Letter reflecting the modifications agreed to by the Steering Committee pursuant to clause (A) hereof, for informational purposes only (it being acknowledged and agreed that any updates to the Seller Disclosure Letter made following the date hereof shall be disregarded for all purposes of this Agreement other than to modify the definition of Transferred Assets in accordance with this Section 2.03(d)).
(e) Upon a written request from Buyer to Seller prior to the Closing, Seller agrees to provide to Buyer transition services on customary terms, for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months following the Closing, as may be reasonably necessary for Buyers ownership and operation of the Transferred Assets (including in connection with any of the Seller Parties rights in, to or under Closing Third Party IP and Technology that cannot be transferred to Buyer on or prior to the Closing), with the appropriate scope of such transition services to be discussed and determined in good faith by the Steering Committee. Upon a written request from Seller to Buyer prior to the Closing, Buyer agrees to provide to Seller transition services on customary terms, for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months following the Closing, as may be reasonably necessary for Sellers transfer of ownership and operation of the Transferred Assets, with the appropriate scope of such transition services to be discussed and determined in good faith by the Steering Committee; provided, that this Section 2.03(e) shall be in addition to any services provided under the Foundry Transition Services Agreement and nothing in this sentence shall alter the terms therein.

(b) all Liabilities relating to the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets before the Closing (or, if later, the date on which the applicable Transferred Assets are transferred to Buyer under this Agreement), including all Liabilities arising out of (i) goods sold or services rendered by or to the Seller Parties prior to the Closing (including goods sold or services rendered to Buyer or its Affiliates); (ii) any repair or other costs that are the basis for clause (b) of the definition of Permitted Exceptions; or (iii) any breach or default by any of the Seller Parties of or under any Transferred Contract prior to the date on which such Transferred Contract is transferred to Buyer under this Agreement;
6
(c) all Environmental Liabilities to the extent arising out of, attributable to or otherwise related to (i) the Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any Owned Properties or Well Fields Properties (including the continued migration thereof) or in connection with the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets or the Owned Properties or Well Fields Properties prior to the Closing, which includes Releases that are the subject of Remedial Action, (ii) any noncompliance with Environmental Law by any Seller Party or Blue in connection with the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets or the Owned Properties or Well Fields Properties prior to the Closing, or (iii) the offsite transportation storage, disposal, treatment or recycling of Hazardous Material generated by any Seller Party and taken offsite in connection with the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets or the Owned Properties or Well Fields Properties on or prior to the Closing; provided, however, that in no case shall any such Environmental Liabilities include any Liabilities arising out of or attributable to Buyer Decommissioning and Wind Down Activities or Tool Decommissioning.

(g) (i) all Liabilities of the Seller Parties under Transferred Contracts (including any leases for personal or real property) due to be paid or performed prior to the Closing (or, if later, the date on which such applicable Transferred Contracts are transferred to Buyer under this Agreement) and (ii) all Liabilities of the Seller Parties or Buyer under Transferred Contracts (including any leases for personal or real property) from and after the Closing (or, if later, the date on which such applicable Transferred Contracts are transferred to Buyer under this Agreement), in the case of clause (ii), solely to the extent such Liabilities arise from or relate to any breach or default by any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates of or under such Transferred Contracts (or any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing prior to such date that, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute or result in a breach or default of or under such Transferred Contracts).
7
Section 2.06. Assignment of Certain Assets.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, convey, assign, transfer or deliver to Buyer any Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery thereof, or an agreement to do any of the foregoing, without the consent, authorization or approval of a third party (including any Governmental Authority), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Law. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent, authorization or approval as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and Seller shall, and shall cause each of its applicable Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent, authorization or approval necessary for the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit to Buyer. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent, authorization or approval as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and Buyer shall, and shall cause each of its applicable Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates to obtain any such consent, authorization or approval necessary for the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit to Buyer. If, on the Closing Date, any such consent, authorization or approval is not obtained, or if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery thereof would constitute a breach or other contravention or a violation of Law, Seller will (and will cause the other applicable Seller Parties to): (i) continue to cooperate with Buyer and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent, authorization or approval; and (ii) implement a mutually acceptable arrangement under which Buyer would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits of, and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be in addition to the Assumed Liabilities) associated with, such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Buyer, or under which Seller would (or would cause the other applicable Selling Parties to) (A) enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of Buyer any and all of its or their rights against a third party associated with such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit, and (B) promptly pay to Buyer, when received, all monies received by it or them under any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit (net of any expenses incurred by it or them in connection with any arrangement contemplated by this Section 2.06(a)), and Buyer would assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated therewith (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be in addition to the Assumed Liabilities). Buyer shall promptly provide to any of the applicable Selling Parties whatever is required for such Selling Parties to meet their respective obligations on a timely basis in relation to any such Transferred Asset, claim, right or benefit.
(b) Buyer agrees and acknowledges that the Contracts that are not exclusively related to the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets (the Shared Contracts) shall not constitute Transferred Contracts and shall not be transferred by the applicable Seller Parties to Buyer. Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller Parties to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to (i) transfer to Buyer any transferable interest in such Shared Contract to the extent related to the ownership and operation of the Transferred Assets (a Transferred Contract Interest) or (ii) obtain the agreement of the other party or parties to any such Shared Contract to enter into a separate agreement with Buyer with respect to such Transferred Contract Interest on

52
set forth in this Agreement by Buyer or Seller, respectively, or any breach or failure by Buyer or Seller, respectively, to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

(a) Any disclosure with respect to a Section of this Agreement, including any Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter, shall be deemed to be disclosed for purposes of other Sections of this Agreement, including any Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter, to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably sufficient so that the relevance of such disclosure to such other Sections of this Agreement, including any such Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter, is readily apparent on its face to a reader of this Agreement and of such disclosure without reference to any document referenced therein or any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed.

(a) This Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State without giving regard to any conflict of laws provisions that would require or permit the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.
(b) Subject to Section 12.10, all claims, disputes and other matters in controversy (a Dispute) arising directly or indirectly out of or related to this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be resolved exclusively according to the procedures set forth in this Section 12.09. From and after the date hereof, no party to this Agreement shall commence a lawsuit as set forth in Section 12.09(f) unless such party shall first deliver written notice (a Dispute Notice) to the other party to this Agreement and to any other parties to the Dispute, which Dispute Notice shall set forth with reasonable specificity the nature of the Dispute. Upon the delivery of the Dispute Notice, the parties shall first escalate the Dispute to the Steering Committee.
57
(c) Seller and Buyer shall each appoint two representatives (each, an Appointee) to a steering committee (the Steering Committee) to serve as decision making body and initial point of dispute resolution on this Agreement and all other Transaction Agreements and matters related thereto. Each party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to replace its Appointees by giving notice in writing to the other party setting forth the name of (i) the Appointee to be replaced and (ii) the replacement, and certifying that the replacement Appointee is authorized to act in such capacity. The initial Appointees for Seller and Buyer shall be as set forth on Section 12.09 of the Seller Disclosure Letter.
(d) The Appointees on the Steering Committee shall work cooperatively and in good faith to resolve any Disputes between the parties regarding all such matters. At least one Appointee from each of Seller and Buyer must be present for the Steering Committee to take any action. Within five (5) Business Days of the matter first being referred to the Steering Committee, the Appointees shall meet, confer and discuss in person or by telephone conference any matter in an attempt to resolve such matter, and within twenty (20) Business Days after such first discussion in accordance herewith (or, if mutually agreed by the Appointees, a longer period of time), the Steering Committee shall attempt to resolve such matter (such period, the Steering Committee Discussion Period). In addition, the Steering Committee shall discuss and oversee, among other matters, matters related to the management and assignment of Transferred Contracts and material employee related matters.
(e) If the Steering Committee cannot resolve the Dispute pursuant to Section 12.09(d) within the Steering Committee Discussion Period the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute identified in the Dispute Notice by mediation pursuant to the American Arbitration Associations Commercial Mediation Procedures, including Rule M-4 of the American Arbitration Associations Commercial Mediation Procedures if the parties cannot agree on the selection of a mediator. The parties shall mediate in Palo Alto, California, unless the parties mutually agree to an alternate location, and shall complete the mediation within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the mediation, unless the parties mutually agree to a longer period of time. The parties shall bear their respective costs incurred in connection with the procedures set forth in this Section 12.09(e), except that the parties to the Dispute shall share equally the fees and expenses of the neutral mediator, if any, and the cost of the facility for the mediation. The parties hereto agree that the role of the mediator is to assist in negotiating a resolution of a Dispute, and that a mediator may not make a binding decision on any party to the Dispute except if such party agrees in writing.
(f) If the parties hereto are unable to resolve any Dispute following the procedures set forth in Section 12.09(d) and Section 12.09(e), the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court located in the Southern District of the State of New York or, if there is no jurisdiction in any such court, before a state court in New York County, over any Dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such Dispute or any suit, action or proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
58
any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such Dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such Dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
(g) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02.
Section 12.10. Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur, damages would be difficult to determine and would be an insufficient remedy and no adequate remedy other than specific performance would exist at law or in equity in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (or any party hereto threatens such a breach). Therefore, it is agreed that each party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions in any court set forth in Section 12.09(f) to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach or that Buyer or Seller otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.
Section 12.11. Rules of Construction.

59
next succeeding Business Day; and (l) a reference to any legislation or to any provision of any legislation will include any modification, amendment or re-enactment thereof, any legislative provision substituted therefor, and all rules, regulations and statutory instruments issued or related to such legislation. Further, prior drafts of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or the fact that any clauses have been added, deleted or otherwise modified from any prior drafts of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements shall not be used as an aid of construction or otherwise constitute evidence of the intent of the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of such prior drafts.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.13.
Section 12.14. Non-Recourse. All claims or causes of action (whether at law, in contract, tort or otherwise, or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements), may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and thereto.
