CRAY INC (Form Type: 8-K, Filing Date: 04/25/2012)

Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On April 24, 2012, Cray Inc. (“Cray”) announced that it entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Intel Corporation (“Intel”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Intel agreed to acquire from Cray certain intellectual property and other assets related to the research and development of hardware network interconnect technologies (the “Interconnect Technologies”) and is permitted to make offers of employment to approximately 74 of Cray’s employees who have been engaged in the research and development of the Interconnect Technologies (the “Transferred Employees”). Intel agreed to pay a purchase price of $140 million in cash at closing. The sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close quickly, but in any event during the second quarter of 2012.

Cray made customary representations and warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement, agreeing, among other things, for a period of up to three years following the sale, not to take certain actions that would compete with Intel’s commercialization of the Interconnect Technologies, and for a period of one year following the sale, not to solicit the Transferred Employees. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement each party agreed, subject to certain limitations, to indemnify the other for an agreed upon period following the sale for losses arising from, among other things, such party’s breach of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the sale, the parties will also enter into a transition services agreement designed to ensure a smooth transition of the Interconnect Technologies and Transferred Employees from Cray to Intel and to permit Cray to utilize the services of certain Transferred Employees for a limited period to complete certain of its development programs, and an agreement providing Cray with opportunities to leverage important differentiating features in certain future Intel products. Cray and Intel also will enter into intellectual property license agreements, which will permit Intel to use certain Cray intellectual property to utilize the Interconnect Technologies and Transferred Employees and permit Cray to use certain intellectual property that was sold to Intel to continue its primary business of selling high performance computing systems (with restrictions on certain uses of such intellectual property by Cray that would compete with Intel’s commercialization of the Interconnect Technologies).

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Cray or Intel. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties, including information contained in confidential schedules exchanged between the parties, were made only for the purposes of such agreement and as of specified dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement. Certain of the representations and warranties have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts and may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement or the date of the closing, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Cray’s public disclosures. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Cray or Intel or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

On April 24, 2012, Cray issued a press release announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Pursuant to the requirement of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

(a) the Personal Property listed on Schedule 1.1(a), and any services or maintenance Contracts with the manufacturers of any such Personal Property and any Software, programs and Databases used to operate such Personal Property;

(c) all copies of all books, files, papers, documentation and records (whether in paper or electronic form) to the extent directly and primarily related to the Purchased Assets and to the extent owned by, in the possession of, and reasonably available to Seller Parties, including any tangible embodiments of the Seller Licensed Intellectual Property that are delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the License Agreement for Seller Licensed Intellectual Property, but in each case excluding any Excluded Seller Interconnect Technology and any tangible embodiments thereof, and subject to Seller retaining (i) copies or originals of any of the same to the extent they do not solely relate to the Purchased Assets, if and as Seller so chooses, (ii) copies or originals of any of the same to the extent they solely relate to the Purchased Assets and Seller is required by Applicable Law or authorized in the Intellectual Property Agreement to retain such copies or originals, (iii) copies or originals of any of the same identified on Schedule 1.1(c) or (iv) copies or originals of any of the same for which Purchaser otherwise provides prior written consent for such retention; and

(d) the right to enforce all Intellectual Property Rights included in the Purchased Assets and the right to sue (and seek and retain damages) for infringement, misappropriation or other violation (including past infringement, misappropriation or other violation) of such Intellectual Property Rights.

Section 1.2 Excluded Assets. The Purchased Assets shall not include, and the Seller Parties shall retain, all of the properties, assets and rights of any kind, whether tangible or intangible, real or personal, of the Seller Parties other than the Purchased Assets (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”).

Section 1.3 No Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser shall not assume or be deemed to have assumed any Liabilities of Seller or its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor owner of all or part of Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ business or assets), including those Liabilities that would become Liabilities of Purchaser as a matter of Applicable Law in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions.

Section 1.4 Excluded Liabilities. “Excluded Liabilities” means any and all Liabilities of Seller and its Subsidiaries, including the Seller Employee Liabilities. The Seller Parties shall, and shall cause any successor to, retain and be responsible for the Excluded Liabilities.

(a) As consideration for the sale of the Purchased Assets and execution of the Transaction Documents, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, in the manner described herein, an amount (the “Purchase Price”) equal to $140,000,000.

(b) At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay Seller the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be specified in a written notice delivered by Seller to Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing.

Section 1.6 Retention Bonus Pool. Upon the Closing, Purchaser shall establish (without requirement to segregate funds therefor) an employee retention bonus pool for the Transferred Employees, with the general terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit B (the “Retention Bonus Pool”).

(a) Allocation. The parties hereto intend that the purchase of the Purchased Assets shall be treated as a taxable transaction for all applicable Tax purposes, including for U.S. federal income tax and state income tax purposes. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, Purchaser and Seller and their respective Affiliates shall agree upon the final allocation of consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement among the Purchased Assets, which allocation shall be in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Allocation”). If Purchaser and Seller are not able to agree on the Allocation within ninety (90) days following the Closing, then the Allocation shall be determined by a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller. The Allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes, and the parties agree that all Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 8594) and all financial statements shall be prepared in a manner consistent with (and the parties shall not otherwise take a position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with) the Allocation unless required by the IRS or any other applicable Taxing Authority.

(b) Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. Tax Law or under any applicable legal requirement. 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.

(b) After the Closing, the Seller Parties shall, at Purchaser’s expense, use commercially reasonable efforts (including making any necessary payments to third parties or otherwise incurring expenses or costs) to provide Purchaser or its designee(s) with all of the rights and benefits of any Non-Transferable Assets after the Closing as if the appropriate Consent had been obtained.

Except as set forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure schedule attached hereto (each section of which (i) shall be deemed to qualify any other section or subsection of this Article to which the matter relates, so long as the applicability of such matter to such section is readily apparent on its face and (ii) shall be deemed for all purposes to be part of the representations and warranties made hereunder) (the “Seller Disclosure Schedule”), the Seller Parties hereby, upon the execution of this Agreement and at Closing, represent and warrant to Purchaser as follows:

(a) The execution, delivery and performance by Seller or Canada Sub of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which Seller or Canada Sub is or will be a party, and the consummation of the Transactions, do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of Seller or Canada Sub; (ii) conflict with or violate any Applicable Law; (iii) result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a breach of default) under, require any consent of or notice to any Person pursuant to, or result in the creation of an Encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on any of the Purchased Assets pursuant to, any Contract or Permit of Seller or Canada Sub, except, in each case, as would not be material to the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets, and except, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Seller’s or Canada Sub’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by Seller and Canada Sub of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which Seller or Canada Sub is or will be a party, and the consummation of the Transactions by Seller and Canada Sub do not, and the performance of this Agreement by Seller and Canada Sub will not, require any consent, approval, authorization, clearance, or permit of, or filing or registration with, or notification to, any Governmental Entity for such performance, except for any filings required to be made under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) and under any other applicable antitrust, competition, trade regulation or merger control Law (together with the HSR Act, the “Antitrust Laws”).

(a) Solely with respect to the Interconnect Program, (i) Seller and the Related Subsidiaries are, and have been, in compliance with all Applicable Laws in all material respects, (ii) neither Seller nor any Related Subsidiary has received any written notice, Order, complaint or other communication that either Seller or any Related Subsidiary have any material Liability under any Applicable Law which has not been fully discharged or extinguished, or that either Seller or any Related Subsidiary are not, or have not been, in material compliance with any Applicable Law and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there is no reasonable basis therefor, and (iii) neither Seller nor any Related Subsidiary has received any written notice of, and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there has not occurred, is not pending and is not threatened, any investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to either Seller or any Related Subsidiary regarding a violation of any Applicable Law by either Seller or any Related Subsidiary, which has subjected, or is reasonably likely to subject, either Seller or any Related Subsidiary to any material Liability and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there is no reasonable basis therefor.

(b) Seller and each of the Related Subsidiaries are in possession of, and in compliance with all material Permits necessary or appropriate for Seller and the Related Subsidiaries to lawfully own, lease and operate the Purchased Assets (the “Seller Permits”) . Neither Seller nor any Related Subsidiary has received any written notice of, and to the Knowledge of Seller, there has not occurred, is not pending and is not threatened, any suspension, cancellation, modification, revocation or nonrenewal of any Seller Permit which has subjected, or is reasonably likely to subject, either Seller or any Related Subsidiary to any material Liability and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there is no reasonable basis therefor.

Section 2.5 Absence of Changes. Since January 1, 2012, except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, there has not been any event, condition, circumstance, development, change or effect, that, individually or in the aggregate, is, or would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property.

(a) The Seller Parties have good and valid title to, or in the case of leased properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in, are the exclusive legal owners of, and, subject to obtaining the consents set forth on Section 2.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, have the unrestricted power and right to sell, assign and deliver the Purchased Assets. No Subsidiary of Seller other than Canada Sub has any right, title or interest in or to any of the Purchased Assets or the Seller Licensed Intellectual Property.

(b) No licenses or Consents from any other Person are or will be necessary for Purchaser to use any of the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property in substantially the manner in which the Seller Parties have used such Purchased Assets and Seller Licensed Intellectual Property prior to the Closing, except for such licenses and Consents that if not obtained would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property.

(c) The Purchased Assets are free and clear of all Encumbrances of any kind or nature, except (i) Encumbrances disclosed in Section 2.6(c)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule which will be removed and released at or prior to the Closing, and (ii) Permitted Encumbrances. Upon the Closing, Purchaser will acquire good and valid title to or a valid leasehold interest in (as the case may be) the Purchased Assets.

(d) Except for compliance with Applicable Law, upon the Closing, no restrictions will exist on Purchaser’s right to sell, resell or license any of the Purchased Assets, nor will any such restrictions be imposed on Purchaser as a consequence of the Transactions, except, in each case, for such restrictions that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property.

Section 2.7 Litigation. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of, and there is not pending and, to the Knowledge of Seller, is not threatened, any Action against Seller’s or any Related Subsidiary’s interest in or use of any of the Purchased Assets or the Seller Licensed Intellectual Property, or any Employee of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in regards to their actions as such solely with respect to the Interconnect Program, and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there is no reasonable basis for any such Action. No Action is pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened, seeking to prevent, hinder, modify, delay or challenge the Transactions. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of, and to the Knowledge of Seller, there does not exist, any outstanding Order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of, or pending or threatened investigation by, any Governmental Entity against either Seller or Canada Sub relating to Seller’s or any Related Subsidiary’s interest in or use of any of the Purchased Assets, the Seller Licensed Intellectual Property, or any of the directors or officers of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in regards to their actions as such solely with respect to the Interconnect Program, or the Transactions. There is no Action related to the Purchased Assets or the Seller Licensed Intellectual Property initiated by Seller or any Related Subsidiary pending, or which Seller or any Related Subsidiary has commenced preparations to initiate, against any other Person.

(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:

(i) all employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) and all bonus, stock option, stock purchase, restricted stock, incentive, deferred compensation, retiree medical or life insurance, supplemental retirement, severance or other benefit plans, programs or arrangements, and all employment, consulting, termination, severance or other contracts or agreements with or covering (including eligibility to participate) any Identified Employee to which Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates is a party, with respect to which Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates has or could have any obligation or Liability in respect of any Identified Employee (or the dependent or beneficiary thereof) or which are maintained, contributed to or sponsored by Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates for the benefit of any Identified Employee (or the dependent or beneficiary thereof);

(ii) each employee benefit plan for which Seller could incur Liability under Section 4069 of ERISA in the event such plan has been or were to be terminated;

(iii) any plan in respect of which Seller could incur Liability under Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and

(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

to ERISA and made available to employees of the Seller and its Subsidiaries generally, summaries of the benefits provided under such plan) and, with respect to each such Employee Plan, has made available to Purchaser, to the extent applicable, a complete and correct copy of (i) the most recently received IRS determination letter; (ii) the most recently prepared actuarial report and financial statement; and (iii) all communications material to any Identified Employee. 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.

(d) Retiree Welfare and Change of Control Plans. No Employee Plan provides for or promises, or has ever provided for or promised, retiree medical, disability or life insurance benefits to any Person, including any Identified Employee or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, except as required by Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or similar applicable Law. 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.

(f) Determination Letters. Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code or Section 401(k) of the Code, and any related trust established in connection with such Employee Plan that is intended to be exempt under 501(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination, advisory and/or opinion letter from the IRS, covering all of the provisions applicable to the Employee Plan for which determination, advisory and/or opinion letters are currently available, that the Employee Plan is so qualified and the related trust is so tax exempt. 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.

(a) List of Identified Employees. Section 2.9(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule lists each Identified Employee, including such Identified Employee’s name and, as of March 31, 2012, work location, title or position, length of continuous service, base salary or wage rate, status as exempt or non-exempt, and participation in commission, severance, incentive or bonus arrangements, accrued but unused vacation and other paid leave; provided that, to the extent applicable privacy or data protection Laws would prohibit the disclosure of certain personally identifiable information without the individual’s consent, Seller shall specify such legal prohibition and may omit such information from Section 2.9(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. All of the Identified Employees are employed solely by Seller, and none of the Identified Employees has given written notice to Seller of his or her intention to go on leave of absence or terminate his or her employment or services to Seller. All of the Identified Employees are lawfully entitled to work or otherwise provide services for Seller, including with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Interconnect Program, without restriction or any visa, permit, export license or consent being required.

(b) At-Will Employment. All of the Identified Employees are employed on an at-will basis, which means that their employment can be terminated at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason at all. Section 2.9(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule lists each (i) Contract between Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and any Identified Employee that is not terminable upon notice by Seller without cost or other Liability, and (ii) obligation arising under any Applicable Law to provide notice prior to termination and/or payment upon termination to any Identified Employee; in either case except for wages or other benefits earned prior to the time of termination.

(c) Classification. All Identified Employees are or were correctly classified under all Applicable Laws by Seller as “employees” and at the Closing Date, such individuals will qualify for such classification. All Identified Employees are or were correctly classified under all Applicable Laws by Seller, as exempt or non-exempt, as the case may be.

(d) Compliance with Laws. With respect to the Identified Employees : (i) Seller and each of its Subsidiaries are and have at all times been in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws regarding labor and employment, including those related to employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours, including calculation and payment of overtime compensation, leaves of absence, collective bargaining, equal opportunity, occupational health and safety, workers’ compensation, immigration, data protection, notice of termination and redundancy and the payment of social security and other Taxes; and (ii) neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any demand letters, civil rights charges, suits, drafts of suits, complaints or other written communications evidencing claims made by any Identified Employees or any other Person, whether before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Workers Compensation Appeals Board, or any comparable body outside the U.S., or any other Governmental Entity. There are no unresolved disputes, grievances or other Actions pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened between Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Identified Employee, on the other hand and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there is no reasonable basis therefor. The Seller does not have any Liability under any Applicable Law related to employment or retention of any Identified Employee and attributable to an event occurring or a state of facts existing prior to the date of this Agreement.

(e) Unions. With respect to the Identified Employees : (i) neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is or has at any time been a party to any collective bargaining agreement, shop agreement, works council agreement, or similar labor union or collective agreement and no such agreement is presently being negotiated; (ii) no labor strike, industrial dispute, trade dispute or other dispute, slow

down or stoppage has ever occurred, is pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened or contemplated against Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is involved in any negotiation regarding a claim with any trade union or other body representing employees or former employees of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is presently engaged and has never been engaged in any unfair labor practice (as defined under the National Labor Relations Act or any other Applicable Law) of any nature; (v) no Employee is or has ever been represented by any labor organization or otherwise covered by any collective bargaining agreement, shop agreement, works council agreement, or similar labor union or collective agreement in connection with their employment by or service to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; and (vi) there are and have been no activities or proceedings of any labor union or any employee or group of employees of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to organize any of the Employees. The Consent of, consultation of or the rendering of formal advice by any labor or trade union, works council or any other employee representative body is not required for Seller to enter into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or to consummate any of the Transactions.

(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. Neither Seller nor its Subsidiaries has taken any action that would constitute a plant closing or mass layoff within the meaning of, or otherwise trigger notice, compensation, or other obligations under the WARN Act. No restriction on restructuring exists with respect to the Identified Employees.

(i) Schedule 1.1(b) sets forth a complete and correct list of all Assigned Patents, in each case listing, as applicable, (1) the name of the applicant/registrant and current owner, (2) the jurisdiction where the application/registration is located, (3) the application or registration number, (4) the filing date and issuance/registration/grant date, and (5) the prosecution status.

(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.

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.

(b) Patents. None of the Assigned Patents has been or is now involved in any interference, reissue, reexamination or opposition proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any corresponding office, department, organization, agency or other Governmental Entity elsewhere, and to the Knowledge of Seller, no such action has been threatened. None of the Assigned Patents is subject to any compulsory license.

Seller and the

Related Subsidiaries have taken all reasonable steps to protect their rights in and to their Copyrights included in the Seller Assigned Intellectual Property, provided however that neither Seller nor any Related Subsidiary has registered Copyrights with the U.S. Copyright Office or any other Governmental Entity.

(d) Trademarks. To the Knowledge of Seller, there has been no prior use by any third party of any Assigned Trademark that confers upon such third party rights that are superior or senior to the rights of Seller or any Related Subsidiary in such Assigned Trademark, or which could threaten the validity of such Assigned Trademark, in any territory; provided, however that neither Seller nor any Related Subsidiary has registered any of the Assigned Trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any other Governmental Entity.

(e) Trade Secrets. Seller and the Related Subsidiaries have taken necessary and appropriate steps in accordance with generally-accepted industry standards and Applicable Law, in any event no less than reasonable steps, to protect their rights in, and to safeguard and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of, the information and materials that derive independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use included in the Seller Assigned Intellectual Property. Other than pursuant to a valid and enforceable confidentiality agreement with respect thereto, neither Seller nor any Related Subsidiary has authorized the disclosure of any Trade Secret included in the Seller Assigned Intellectual Property, nor has any such Trade Secret been disclosed.

(vi) Except as a result of any Contracts, duties or obligations that Purchaser or its Affiliates are subject to prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement nor the Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor any Contract to which Seller or any Related Subsidiary is a party or otherwise bound, will cause or require (or purports to cause or require) Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to (i) grant to any other Person any license, covenant not to sue, immunity or other right with respect to or under any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights owned by Purchaser or Affiliates independent of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) be obligated to pay any royalties or other amounts, or offer any discounts, to any other Person.

(h) No Infringement by Seller. The Seller Intellectual Property, as currently used, imported, made distributed or sold by Seller or any Related Subsidiary (i) does not infringe, misappropriate, dilute, use or disclose without authorization, or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party, and (ii) does not constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the Laws of any relevant jurisdiction; provided, however, that with respect to Seller Licensed Intellectual Property only, the foregoing representation is given to the Seller Parties’ Knowledge as to third party patent rights. No Action has been initiated or is pending, and no written notice of any Action has been received by Seller or any Related Subsidiary, alleging that Seller or any Related Subsidiary, or any Seller Interconnect Technology or Seller Assigned Intellectual Property has infringed, misappropriated, diluted, used or disclosed without authorization, or otherwise violated the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party or constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under the Laws of any relevant jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any correspondence asking or inviting Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into a Patent or other Intellectual Property Right license or similar agreement, to pay for or obtain a release for Patent or other Intellectual Property Right infringement, or otherwise to enter into other arrangements with respect to the Patents or other Intellectual Property Rights of any other Person relating to the Seller Intellectual Property.

(a) Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, and to cooperate with each other party hereto, to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including, subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Section and other provisions of this Agreement, causing the

satisfaction of the respective conditions set forth in Article VI (Conditions to Closing) and executing and delivering such other instruments and doing and performing such other acts and things as may be necessary or reasonably desirable for effecting the consummation of the Transactions. Without prejudice to the foregoing, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, to the extent required, each of the parties hereto (i) shall file any required notifications with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) in accordance with the HSR Act, and (ii) shall file any required antitrust notification in any other jurisdiction in accordance with any other applicable Antitrust Law, as determined by Purchaser in its reasonable judgment after consultation with Seller. Each of the parties hereto shall furnish promptly to the FTC, the Antitrust Division and any other requesting Governmental Entity any additional information reasonably requested by any of them pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws in connection with such filings. Each party will notify the other promptly upon the receipt of any comments from any officials of any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings made pursuant to this subsection. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and subject to all applicable privileges (including the attorney-client privilege), each of the parties hereto shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law. Each of the parties hereto shall cooperate reasonably with each other in connection with the making of all such filings or responses.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including the other provisions of this Section), (i) if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, it is expressly understood and agreed that: (1) Purchaser shall not have any obligation to litigate or contest any administrative or judicial action or any decree, judgment, injunction or other Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent brought by or before an administrative tribunal, court or other similar tribunal or body; (2) Purchaser shall be under no obligation to make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to orders providing for a Divestiture; and (3) the Seller Parties may not conduct or agree to conduct a Divestiture without the prior written consent of Purchaser and (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to refrain from making, or agreeing to make, any acquisitions of any assets, business or any Person, whether by merger, consolidation or by any other manner. “Divestiture” shall mean (x) the sale, license or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property, (y) the imposition of any limitation or restriction on the ability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to freely conduct their businesses or own and operate the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property, or (z) any other action that would reasonably be expected to be material to the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property.

(c) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall pay half of any applicable filing fee under the HSR Act and any other filing made pursuant to any other applicable Antitrust Law

(a) From and after the date hereof until the Closing or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX (Termination), Seller will not, nor will it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries, or its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, seek, entertain, intentionally encourage, intentionally facilitate, support or induce the making, submission or announcement of any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer concerning the sale or other conveyance of the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property (whether by way of merger,

purchase of capital stock, purchase of assets or otherwise) (an “Acquisition Proposal”); (ii) hold or participate in any negotiations or discussions or enter into any agreements with any Person concerning, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) deliver or make available to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action regarding, any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. Seller shall (x) immediately cease, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to immediately cease, and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted prior to or on the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (y) not amend, terminate, waive or fail to enforce any provisions of any confidentiality agreement with respect to any potential Acquisition Proposal and (z) promptly request, in accordance with the terms of any such confidentiality agreement, the return or destruction of any confidential information previously furnished pursuant thereto. If any Representative of Seller or its Subsidiaries takes any action that Seller is obligated pursuant to this Section to cause such Representative not to take, then Seller shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have breached this Section.

(b) Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing after receipt by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (or, to the Knowledge of Seller, by any of its or their respective Representatives), of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any request for non-public information directly and primarily related to the Purchased Assets or for access to any of the properties, books or records of the Seller Parties by any Person other than Purchaser not in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or that the Seller Parties reasonably believe would be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall describe (1) the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer, and (2) the identity of the Person or Group making any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer. Seller shall keep Purchaser promptly and fully informed of the status and details of, and any modification to, any such inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer and any correspondence or communications related thereto and shall provide to Purchaser a complete and correct copy of each such inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer and any amendments, correspondence and communications related thereto, if it is in writing, or a reasonable written summary thereof, if it is not in writing. Seller shall provide Purchaser with forty-eight (48) hours’ prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of Seller’s board of directors) of any meeting of Seller’s board of directors at which Seller’s board of directors is reasonably expected to discuss any Acquisition Proposal.

(a) During the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing, promptly following receipt of a written request by Purchaser therefor (i) the Seller Parties shall, at Purchaser’s expense, afford Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access during business hours to (A) all of the Seller Parties’ premises, properties, personnel, books, records (including Tax records), Contracts, and documents of or pertaining to the Seller Parties, in each case to the extent related to the Purchased Assets, Seller Licensed Intellectual Property and Identified Employees and (B) all other information concerning the Purchased Assets, Seller Licensed Intellectual Property and the Identified Employees as Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Seller Parties to provide any such access or disclose any information to the extent the provision of such access or such disclosure would contravene applicable confidentiality obligations related to the trade secrets or proprietary information of any other Person or any Applicable Law.

(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).

Section 4.6 Notification. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of (i) any material change, occurrence or event relating to the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property not in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions; (iii) any notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions; (iv) any Action commenced or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property or that relates to the consummation of the Transactions; (v) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement, or of any change, occurrence or event which, individually or in the aggregate with any other changes, occurrences and events, would reasonably be expected to be adverse to the Seller Parties in any material respect or cause any of the conditions to closing set forth in Article VI (Conditions to Closing) not to be satisfied or (vi) any matter that, if existing or occurring prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Seller Disclosure Schedule on the date of this Agreement or that is necessary to correct any information in the Seller Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby promptly following discovery thereof, including a reference to the specific section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to which such matter relates (provided that no information provided pursuant to this Section shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereunder).

(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.

Section 5.7 Records and Documents. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, at Purchaser’s request, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide, at Purchaser’s expense, Purchaser and its Representatives with access to and the right to make copies of those records and documents related to the Purchased Assets, the possession of which is retained by Seller or its Subsidiaries as may be necessary or useful in connection with Purchaser’s ownership and use of the Purchased Assets after the Closing, subject to and except as may be prohibited by any applicable confidentiality obligations pertaining to proprietary information of any other Person that is contained or embodied in such records or documents. 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

containing Seller Interconnect Technology regarding Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the Interconnect Program or Seller Interconnect Technology; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller and its Affiliates from, collectively, owning as a passive investment ten percent (10%) or less of the equity of any publicly-traded entity. For purposes of the foregoing, a Person who is not a customer for products containing Seller Interconnect Technology shall be considered a “prospective customer” if, to the Knowledge of Seller, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries made a presentation or written proposal to such Person primarily related to products containing Seller Interconnect Technology during the twenty-four (24) month period preceding the date hereof or was preparing to make such a presentation or proposal on the date hereof.

(b) From the date of this Agreement until the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date, Seller and its Subsidiaries will not directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, solicit any Transferred Employee for employment by Seller or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Seller and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to solicit for employment, engage as a consultant or otherwise recruit Identified Employees who are not offered employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date or who at any time are no longer employed by Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of termination by Purchaser or its Affiliates and any such employees who are contacted as a result of the use of general newspaper or online advertisement and other general non-targeted recruitment techniques in the ordinary course of business, as opposed to targeted solicitations of any one or more of such Transferred Employees. From the date of this Agreement until the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date, Purchaser’s Communications and Networking Group will not directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Seller, solicit any employee of Seller that is not a Transferred Employee for employment by Purchaser’s Communications and Networking Group; provided, however, that Purchaser’s Communications and Networking Group will be permitted to solicit for employment any such employees who are contacted as a result of the use of general newspaper or online advertisement and other general non-targeted recruitment techniques in the ordinary course of business, as opposed to targeted solicitations of any one or more of such employee of Seller that is not a Transferred Employee.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of this Section would be inadequate and that, in addition to any other remedies available, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such breach.

(a) Purchaser will notify Seller if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser reasonably determines that it may require additional Transition Services to be provided by Seller in addition to those already to be provided under the terms of the Transition Services Agreement. This notice will include (a) a description of such additional Transition Services and any terms upon which these services are to be provided, including the cost to be paid by the Purchaser, if any, and (b) a correspondingly revised set of schedules to the Transition Services Agreement to replace the schedules included in the form of Transition Services Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D. The revised schedules to the Transition Services Agreement will be subject to Seller’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) The Personal Property listed on Schedule 5.9(b) will be retained by Seller until the termination or expiration of the Post-Production Phase (as such term is defined in the Transition Services Agreement), at which time, Seller shall transfer and assign such Personal Property to Purchaser or its designee for no additional consideration.

Section 5.10 Security Clearances. Subject to the limitations of Applicable Laws, Schedule 5.10 sets forth a complete list of all Identified Employees that, to the Knowledge of Seller, hold security clearances granted by any Governmental Entity, indicating the type of security clearance held by such Identified Employee. Consistent with the requirements set forth in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, DOD 5220.22-M, and any supplements, amendments or revised editions thereof, the parties will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts for such Identified Employees that are Transferred Employees to retain their respective security clearances.

Section 5.11 Aries Commercial Availability. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, license or otherwise make commercially available, Aries to any Person, other than Seller and its Subsidiaries, without the prior written consent of Seller (in its sole discretion). For the purpose of this Section, “Aries” shall mean the original general availability version of the integrated circuit known by the Seller code name “Aries” and any (i) re-spin thereof or (ii) modified or improved version thereof to the extent the modifications and improvements are not, in the aggregate, substantial. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Aries technology integrated into, or packaged with, a Purchaser processor (that itself is not a stand-alone interconnect) be considered “Aries” for the purpose of this Section.

Section 5.12 Software Escrow Deposit. Pursuant to the Software Escrow Agreement, at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall deposit in escrow a full, complete and functional copy of the following (including any Seller Interconnect Technology and Third Party Aries/Pisces Technology contained therein): (i) the Verilog RTL code for the Aries and Pisces Seller Interconnects, and (ii) any documentation, libraries, tools, utilities and other related materials reasonably necessary for the installation, testing, deployment, operation, modification or use of such Verilog RTL code that are not otherwise delivered to Purchaser or its designee on or before Closing (collectively, “Technology Deposit Materials”) with Iron Mountain Incorporated (the “Escrow Agent”). The Technology Deposit Materials shall be released to Purchaser as set forth in the Software Escrow Agreement. The Software Escrow Agreement shall terminate as set forth in the Software Escrow Agreement, including upon written notice from Purchaser to the Escrow Agent or upon Purchaser’s receipt of all such Technology Deposit Materials. All fees and expenses payable to the Escrow Agent for the establishment and maintenance of such escrow arrangement shall be borne and paid by Purchaser.

Section 5.13 Post-Closing Delivery of Seller Proprietary Aries/Pisces Technology. No later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, subject to Purchaser’s provision of services as required in Section 1(a)(iii) of Schedule B-2.1 of the Transition Services Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or its designees the Seller Interconnect Technology included within the Technology Deposit Materials (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Third Party Aries/Pisces Technology) (the “Seller Proprietary Aries/Pisces Technology”), in the manner and form, and to the locations, reasonably specified by Purchaser or its designees.

Section 5.14 Jointly-Owned Patents. From and after the Closing, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser for Purchaser to enter into an agreement with Stanford University for the joint ownership by Stanford University and Purchaser of certain Patents included in the Purchased Assets and, upon written notice from Purchaser, Seller will use its reasonable efforts to terminate the Agreement between Seller and the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, dated as of June 16, 2008, with respect to such jointly-owned Patents.

(b) HSR Act; Other Required Approvals. Any required waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law applicable to the Transactions shall have expired or shall have been terminated.

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller Parties contained in Article II of this Agreement (provided that for the sole purpose of determining Losses (and not for determining whether or not any breaches or representations of warranties have occurred), the representations and warranties of the Seller Parties shall not be deemed qualified by reference to materiality);

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Article III of this Agreement (provided that for the sole purpose of determining Losses (and not for determining whether or not any breaches or representations of warranties have occurred), the representations and warranties of Purchaser shall not be deemed qualified by reference to materiality);

(ii) any breach by Purchaser of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; and

(iii) the ownership, use or operation of the Purchased Assets by Purchaser or its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (A) no Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses arising solely from a claim for indemnification pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above until the aggregate amount of all Losses under all claims of all Purchaser Indemnitees for all such breaches exceeds $1,400,000 (the “Basket”), at which time all Losses incurred shall be subject to indemnification hereunder (subject to subsection (c)(ii) below) including the amount of the Basket; and (B) Seller’s aggregate Liability for indemnification pursuant to

subsection (a)(i) above shall not exceed $17,500,000; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth above in this subsection shall not apply with respect to any claim for indemnification based on (1) fraud or intentional misrepresentation, for which Seller’s Liability for indemnification is not limited, (2) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation, for which Seller’s Liability for indemnification pursuant to subsections (a)(ii) through (a)(vi), together with any Liability otherwise pursuant to subsection (a)(i), in the aggregate, shall not exceed the Purchase Price, and (3) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Extended Representation, for which Seller’s Liability for indemnification, together with any Liability otherwise pursuant to subsection (a)(i), in the aggregate, shall not exceed $29,750,000.

(ii) Seller’s Liability for indemnification pursuant to subsections (a)(i) through (vi), in the aggregate, shall not exceed the Purchase Price, unless the claim is of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, in which case it is not limited.

(iii) A Purchaser Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article based on any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall not be diminished or otherwise affected in any way as a result of such Purchaser Indemnitee’s knowledge of such inaccuracy, breach or untruth as of the date hereof or as of Closing, regardless of whether such knowledge exists as a result of the Purchaser Indemnitee’s investigation or as a result of disclosure by Seller or any of its Affiliates, unless such disclosures were set forth in this Agreement or in all applicable Schedules hereto.

(iv) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article shall be net of the amounts of any insurance proceeds which an Indemnitee actually receives with respect to any such Losses (net of cost of recovery, deductibles and premium increases). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Seller have any Liability to any Purchaser Indemnitee for the same Losses under more than one provision of this Article.

(v) Each party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate any of its Losses, including evaluation of any insurance policies and other collateral sources that would reasonably be applicable to such Loss.

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller and its Affiliates shall not be responsible for, or have an indemnification obligation with respect to, any Taxes (other than those allocated or attributable to Seller and its Affiliates in Section 5.4(a), Section 5.4(b) and Section 5.4(c)) imposed on Purchaser or any of its Affiliates arising from or attributable to Purchaser’s use or ownership of the Purchased Assets or Seller Licensed Intellectual Property in a Post-Closing Tax Period.

(a) If any Purchaser Indemnitee is made party to a third party Action that Purchaser believes, in good faith, may result in a claim of indemnification for a Purchaser Indemnitee under this Article (a “Purchaser Indemnification Claim”), Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of such Action, shall conduct the defense of any such Action with respect to Purchaser or such other Purchaser Indemnitee and its or their respective rights and shall, to the extent reasonably requested by Seller from time to time, give updates as to the status of such Action. Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Action with respect to Seller and its rights at Seller’s sole cost and expense. 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.

(b) If any Seller Indemnitee is made party to a third party Action that Seller believes, in good faith, may result in a claim of indemnification for a Seller Indemnitee under this Article (a “Seller Indemnification Claim”), Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such Action, shall conduct the defense of any such Action with respect to Seller or such other Seller Indemnitee and its or their respective rights and shall, to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser from time to time, give updates as to the status of such Action. Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Action with respect to Purchaser and its rights at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. 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”).

(b) If the Indemnifying Party wishes to object to the allowance of some or all Indemnification Claims made in a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party must deliver a written objection to Purchaser (on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnitee) or Seller (on behalf of any Seller Indemnitee), as the case may be, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Notice expressing such objection and explaining in reasonable detail and in good faith the basis therefor. Following receipt by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, of the Indemnifying Party’s written objection, if any, 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 shall promptly, and within ten (10) Business Days, meet to agree on the rights of the respective parties with respect to each Indemnification Claim that is the subject of such written objection. 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

Indemnifying Party shall pay to Purchaser (on behalf of any other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) in cash the aggregate Dollar amount of Losses payable to Purchaser (or such other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) pursuant to such memorandum and (iii) with respect to any Seller Indemnification Claim, as promptly as practicable and within ten (10) Business Days following execution of such memorandum, subject to subsection (d) below, Purchaser shall pay to Seller (on behalf of any other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable) in cash the aggregate Dollar amount of Losses payable to Seller (or such other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable) pursuant to such memorandum. 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. If not paid, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, may seek enforcement of the obligation with respect to the Indemnification Claim in any court available therefor in accordance with the terms of Section 10.6 (Submission to Jurisdiction) and Section 8.2(c) (Indemnification).

(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.

Section 8.5 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as expressly provided otherwise, this Article shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees from and after the Closing Date for any claims arising under this Agreement, including claims of inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief, or any right or remedy arising by reason of any claim of fraud or intentional misrepresentation with respect to this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes, including for U.S. federal income tax and for state tax purposes.

Section 9.1 Termination. At any time prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be terminated:

(b) by either Purchaser or Seller, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 2012 or such other date that Purchaser and Seller may agree upon in writing (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection shall not be available to Seller if a breach of this Agreement by Seller has resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur before the Termination Date; and provided further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection shall not be available to Purchaser if the breach of this Agreement by Purchaser has resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur before the Termination Date;

(c) by either Purchaser or Seller, if any Law prohibiting or otherwise preventing the consummation of the Transactions shall have become final and nonappealable;

(e) by Purchaser, if (i) the Seller Parties shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein and such breach shall not have been cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Seller of written notice of such breach (provided, however, that no such cure period shall be available or applicable to any such breach which by its nature cannot be cured) and if not cured within such fifteen (15) Business Day period and at or prior to the Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 (Conditions to Obligations of Purchaser) to be satisfied, or (ii) Seller shall have breached Section 4.4 (Exclusivity) in any material respect; or

(f) by Seller, if Purchaser shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein and such breach shall not have been cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Purchaser of written notice of such breach (provided, however, that no such cure period shall be available or applicable to any such breach which by its nature cannot be cured) and if not cured within such fifteen (15) Business Day period and at or prior to the Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 (Conditions to Obligations of the Seller Parties) to be satisfied.

The party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section (other than subsection (a)) shall give written notice of such termination to the other party.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1 (Termination), this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and there shall be no Liability or obligation on the part of Purchaser, the Seller Parties or their respective officers, directors, stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives; provided, however, that (a) the provisions of this

This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Purchaser, but no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations. Any purported assignment of this Agreement in contravention of this Section shall be null and void and of no force or effect.

Seattle, WA – April 24, 2012 – Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (Nasdaq: CRAY) today announced it signed a definitive agreement to sell its interconnect hardware development program and related intellectual property to Intel Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) for $140 million in cash.

“This agreement is evidence of the leadership position we’ve established in high performance computing, and is an exciting win for our customers, our company and our shareholders,” said Peter Ungaro, president and CEO of Cray. “By broadening our relationship with Intel, we are positioned to further penetrate the HPC market and expand on our industry-leading technologies in support of our Adaptive Supercomputing vision. Our product roadmap remains intact as we continue to build the highly differentiated, tightly integrated supercomputers that our customers have come to expect from Cray. This agreement also dramatically strengthens our balance sheet and increases our options for further growth, profitability and creating shareholder value.”

Cray anticipates that the lower headcount resulting from this transaction will yield cost savings in future periods from what they would have been, with a relatively modest amount of the benefit expected in 2012.
