The written notice to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection shall set forth the applicable Exchange Rate and the amount of each Local Purchase Price to be paid at the Closing.

(c) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Inventory Statement”) in the form set forth on Schedule 1.5(c) setting forth the value of the Purchased Inventory as of the Closing (but determined immediately prior to giving effect to the Transactions) (the “Closing Inventory Value”). The Inventory Statement shall include a worksheet setting forth in reasonable detail how the Closing Inventory Value was calculated. For purposes of determining the Closing Inventory Value, the Purchased Inventory shall each be valued in accordance with the methodology used by Seller in the preparation of the Seller Financial Statements, except that the reserve for excess or obsolete inventory and variance and overhead revaluation shall not be netted against the gross inventory balance.

(d) During the thirty (30) Business Day period following Purchaser’s receipt of the Inventory Statement, Seller shall, at Purchaser’s expense, provide Purchaser and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the working papers of Seller and its Representatives relating to the Inventory Statement, and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and its Representatives to provide them with other information used in preparing the Inventory Statement reasonably requested by Purchaser and its Representatives, including, upon reasonable advance notice, access during normal business hours to relevant personnel and records of Seller. The Inventory Statement shall become final and binding on the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following delivery thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, Purchaser delivers to Seller written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of any disagreement. Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to all items and amounts in the Inventory Statement not specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review under subsection (f) below.

(e) During the ten (10) Business Day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by Purchaser to Seller, the parties shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified therein. During such ten (10) Business Day period, Purchaser shall provide Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the working papers of Purchaser and its Representatives relating to such Notice of Disagreement, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, cooperate with Seller and its

CONFIDENTIAL

Representatives to provide them with other information used in the preparation of such Notice of Disagreement reasonably requested by Seller or its Representatives, including, upon reasonable advance notice, access during normal business hours to relevant personnel and records of Purchaser. Any disputed items resolved in writing between Seller and Purchaser within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if Seller and Purchaser agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified in the Notice of Disagreement, the amount so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder.

(f) If Seller and Purchaser have not resolved all such differences by the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, Seller and Purchaser shall submit, in writing, to PricewaterhouseCoopers or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed in writing by Seller and Purchaser (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), statements detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute, the amount of the Closing Inventory Value, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item, the amount of the Closing Inventory Value, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be authorized to resolve only those items remaining in dispute between the parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section within the range of the difference between Purchaser’s position with respect thereto and Seller’s position with respect thereto. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Independent Accounting Firm that it reached such determination in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within twenty (20) Business Days following the submission thereof. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in any competent court. Subject to the following sentence, the costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to this subsection, including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative Dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each party incurred in connection with their preparation or review of the Inventory Statement and preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, shall be borne by such party.

(g) The Closing Cash Consideration shall be adjusted downwards by the amount (if any) by which the Closing Inventory Value, as finally determined pursuant to this Section, is less than the Target Closing Inventory Value. The adjustment to the Closing Cash Consideration shall be payable by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Inventory Value in accordance with this Section 1.5.

Section 1.6 Retention Bonus Pool. Following the Closing, Purchaser will distribute the Retention Bonus Pool to the Transferred Employees in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit B.

Section 1.7 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(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 the 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 may be 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, 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.

Section 1.8 Non-Transferable Assets.

(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 Seller’s rights or obligations under such Non-Transferable Asset (and such Non-Transferable Asset shall not be included in the Purchased Assets), and instead Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Consent as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and thereafter Seller shall transfer and assign to Purchaser such Non-Transferable Assets for no additional consideration. Following any such assignment or transfer, such Non-Transferable Assets shall be deemed Purchased Assets for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) After the Closing, Seller 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 (i) any Non-Transferable Assets after the Closing as if the appropriate Consent had

CONFIDENTIAL

been obtained and (ii) any Contract that is not an Assumed Contract that is necessary for the operation of the Business as currently conducted consistent with past practice, including if appropriate, by performing such services under a contract for the benefit of Purchaser. Seller shall advise Purchaser in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing with respect to any Assumed Contract which Seller knows or has substantial reason to believe will or may not be assignable or transferable to Purchaser hereunder at the Closing.

Section 5.4 Tax Matters.

(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. At the Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any Property Tax properly allocable to the Post-Closing Tax Period and previously paid by Seller if Seller provides documentary evidence of such Property Tax payment, to the satisfaction of Purchaser, at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to Closing. 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 ▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇▇▇ to Purchaser who shall pay the same to the appropriate Taxing Authority; provided, that if such ▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇▇▇ 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 Section 5.4(a), 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. Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay when due seventy-five percent (75%) of any Transfer Taxes and Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay when due twenty-five percent (25%) of any Transfer Taxes; provided that, in the case of value added Taxes and similar Taxes (“VAT”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby for which Purchaser will be clearly entitled under Applicable Law to

CONFIDENTIAL

receive a full credit or refund, then one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of such VAT shall be validly invoiced by Seller to Purchaser and paid by Purchaser to Seller, at least five (5) Business Days before those amounts must be remitted by Seller to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. The parties hereto shall cooperate, to the extent reasonably requested and as permitted by Applicable Law, in minimizing any such Transfer Taxes. 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 the non-filing party shall promptly remit to the filing party the amount of any Transfer Taxes so payable by the filing party upon receipt of notice that such Transfer Taxes are payable by the filing party. In the event that a filing party shall make a payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 5.4(b), the non-filing 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 filing party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement. Any reimbursement payment required under this Section 5.4(b) and not made when due shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Each party shall indemnify, defend, and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims, charges, interest or penalties assessed, imposed or asserted in relation to each party’s obligations with respect to Transfer Taxes under this Section 5.4(b).

(c) Responsibility for Payment of Taxes. Taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets, Seller Licensed Intellectual Property or the Business other than those treated specifically in Section 5.4(a) and Section 5.4(b), 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, and each party shall indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against all Taxes for which such party is liable pursuant to this Section 5.4(c).

(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 Business, 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 Business, 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).

(e) Effect on Indemnity Rights of the Parties. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the rights of the parties hereto under Article VIII (Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Indemnification).

CONFIDENTIAL

Section 5.5 Further Actions.

(a) At any time or from time to time after the Closing, at the other party’s request, each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its 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; (ii) cooperate with the other party to enforce the terms of any Assumed Contract, including terms relating to confidentiality and Intellectual Property Rights, and to contest or defend against any Action relating to the Transactions or to the operation of the Business before the Closing Date; (iii) cooperate with the other party in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Purchaser those business relationships of Seller existing prior to the Closing and relating to the business to be operated by Purchaser after the Closing; (iv) satisfy the Excluded Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships; (v) assume the Assumed Liabilities; (vi) refer to Purchaser all inquiries relating to the Business; and (vii) promptly deliver to Purchaser (A) any mail, packages and other communications addressed to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Business and (B) any cash or other property that Seller or any of its Subsidiaries receives and that properly belongs to Purchaser, including any insurance proceeds, payments with respect to accounts receivable of the Business arising after the Closing, and interest payable thereon.

(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 falls in one of the categories set forth in Sections 1.1(d), 1.1(g), 1.1(h), 1.1(i), 1.1(j) or 1.1(k) 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.

CONFIDENTIAL

(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 Seller for and on behalf of Purchaser until such time as Purchaser is able to take possession thereof.

Section 5.6 Seller Intellectual Property.

(a) Unless specifically permitted in this Agreement or the Intellectual Property Agreement, Seller agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, it shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective 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 Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (or any assignee or successor of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) 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, Seller hereby grants, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, 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, Seller agrees to assign to Purchaser such rights as may be required by Purchaser to enforce such Seller Assigned Intellectual Property in its own name. If such assignment still does not permit Purchaser to enforce Seller Assigned Intellectual Property against the third party, Seller agrees to initiate or join proceedings against such third party at Purchaser’s request. Purchaser shall control such proceedings and shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of such proceedings (including Seller’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in participating in such proceedings at Purchaser’s request).

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 Business, the possession of which is retained by Seller or its Subsidiaries, as may be necessary or useful in connection with Purchaser’s conduct of the Business after the Closing. 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.

Section 5.8 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) From and after the date hereof and until three (3) years after the Closing, Seller, its successors and their Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on such Person’s own behalf or on behalf of some other Person (i) participate, sponsor, organize,

CONFIDENTIAL

encourage, or invest, or attempt to do any of the foregoing, in any Person or activity that is competitive with the Business, (ii) cause, induce, solicit or encourage any contractor, vendor, service provider, strategic partner or actual or prospective customer of the Business (the “Covered Persons”) to terminate such status or advise any Person against entering into such status; (iii) solicit business that is primarily related to the Business from or provide services that are primarily related to the Business to, any Person who was a Covered Person within the twenty-four (24) months preceding the date thereof; (iv) otherwise intentionally disrupt or interfere with, or attempt to disrupt or interfere with, the relations of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with any Covered Person in connection with the Business; or (v) 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 Covered Person regarding Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the Business; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller, its successors and their 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 of the Business 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 the Business 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 and to hire 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.

(c) From the date of this Agreement until the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date, Purchaser’s Datacenter and Connected Systems Group (“DCSG”) will not directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Seller, solicit any Seller Retained Business Employee, any employee of Seller’s Fibre Channel group (other than any employee located in Minnesota) or any Seller employee located at Seller’s facility in Pune, India (other than any employee that is a Business Employee that is offered employment by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.3), for employment by its Communications & Networking Group; provided, however, that DCSG will be permitted to solicit for employment and to hire 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 employees.

(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 5.8 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. The duration of the restrictions set forth in clauses (a), and (b) of this Section shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days, if any,

CONFIDENTIAL

during which Seller or any of its Affiliates is in breach thereof. The duration of the restrictions set forth in clause (c) of this Section shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days, if any, during which Purchaser is in breach thereof.

Section 5.9 Cooperation with Warranty Claims. Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to process and handle all warranty claims arising in respect of products of the Business shipped or sold prior to the Closing. Purchaser agrees to provide to Seller a written statement setting forth the nature and amount of any warranty claims being processed under this Section 5.9 and any supporting documentation therefor. Seller agrees to promptly and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days after being provided a written invoice reimburse Purchaser for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in performing its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.9 that are set forth in the written statement required by this Section 5.9.

Section 5.10 Transition Services. 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 K. The revised schedules to the Transition Services Agreement will be subject to Seller’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 5.11 Inventory.

(a) On the day preceding the Closing Date, Seller shall, at its expense, conduct a physical count of the Purchased Inventory on hand after the close of business on such day. The parties will mutually agree in advance on a plan for the physical count of the Inventory (including a determination of the scope thereof), and Purchaser or its Representatives shall be entitled to observe the physical count of the Inventory pursuant to such plan.

(b) Seller shall retain all Inventory that, as of the Closing Date, is located in the consignment stock locations outside of the U.S. (the “Non-U.S. Consignment Stocks”) of Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ customers or is in transit from a distribution center to a Non-U.S. Consignment Stock (all such Inventory, collectively the “Non-U.S. Consignment Inventory”).

(c) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including, prior to the Closing, the agreements set forth in Section 4.1 (Conduct of Business) and Section 4.2 (Restrictions on Conduct of Business), Seller shall sell the Non-U.S. Consignment Inventory for Purchaser’s account, as set forth in the applicable schedule to the Transition Services Agreement. The restrictions set forth in Section 5.8(a) (Non-Competition) shall not apply to sales of the Non-U.S. Consignment Inventory by Seller and its Affiliates in accordance with the preceding sentence, to the extent that such restrictions would otherwise prevent Seller and its Affiliates from selling the Non-U.S. Consignment Inventory.

CONFIDENTIAL

(d) After the Closing, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not deliver Inventory into the Non-U.S. Consignment Stocks (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Inventory that is in transit to a Non-U.S. Consignment Stock on the Closing Date and that constitutes Non-U.S. Consignment Inventory). The applicable customers shall be served from the Non-U.S. Consignment Stocks in accordance with the first-in-first-out principle.

Section 5.12 Service Provider Agreements. From the date of this Agreement and, as applicable, continuing after the Closing, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent or agreement of each Service Provider under a Service Provider Agreement to split such Service Provider Agreement so that the portion of the Service Provider Agreement pertaining to the Business will be assigned or novated to Purchaser, in such a manner that Purchaser will not lose the benefit of any prepayments made by Seller to the Service Provider under the Service Provider Agreement with respect to Seller Products. In the event that, at Closing, the Business portion of a Service Provider Agreement cannot be assigned or novated, Seller will provide, or cause to be provided, to Purchaser the services relating to the Business under each such Service Provider Agreement pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement for the term of the applicable Service Provider Agreement or until such Service Provider Agreement has been assigned or novated to Purchaser in accordance with the first sentence of this Section. Such Transition Services shall be provided to Purchaser in such a manner that Purchaser will have the benefit of any prepayments made by Seller to the Service Provider under the Service Provider Agreement with respect to Seller Products.

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller 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 Seller shall not be deemed qualified by reference to materiality or to Material Adverse Effect);

CONFIDENTIAL

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

(ii) any and all Assumed Liabilities; and

(iii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller 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);

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, 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 shall exceed One Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000) (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.

CONFIDENTIAL

(iii) A Purchaser Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article based on any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Article II (which constitute the only representations and warranties made by Seller in connection with the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Business) 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, 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 any applicable Schedule 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 or recovery, deductibles and premium increases).

(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall have no Liability under this Article to any Purchaser Indemnitee for a breach of Section 2.18(b) to the extent that the Losses that result from such breach constitute warranty obligations that are Excluded Liabilities and that are subject to Section 5.9 and are actually paid by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.9.

Section 8.3 Third Party Actions.

(a) If Purchaser becomes aware of a third party Action that Purchaser believes, in good faith, may result in a claim of indemnification for a Purchaser Indemnitee

CONFIDENTIAL

under this Article (a “Purchaser Indemnification Claim”), other than a Purchaser Indemnification Claim relating to any Excluded Liability, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of such Action, shall conduct the defense of such Action 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 any such defense at its 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 Purchaser becomes aware of a third party Action that Purchaser believes, in good faith, may result in a Purchaser Indemnification Claim relating to any Excluded Liability, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of such Action. Seller shall conduct the defense of such Action 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 any such defense at its sole cost and expense. Seller may agree to any settlement or compromise of any such third party Action in its sole discretion, so long as such settlement or compromise (A) does not obligate any Purchaser Indemnitee to take or refrain from taking any action and (B) provides for a complete release of the Purchaser Indemnitee by such third party. Any such settlement or compromise by Seller shall represent the agreement of Seller that the Losses incurred in connection therewith shall be indemnifiable hereunder.

(c) If Seller becomes aware of 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”) relating to any Assumed Liability, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such Action. Purchaser shall conduct the defense of such Action 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 any such defense at its sole cost and expense. Purchaser may agree to any settlement or compromise of any such third party Action in its sole discretion, so long as such settlement or compromise (A) does not obligate any Seller Indemnitee to take or refrain from taking any action and (B) provides for a complete release of the Seller Indemnitee by such third party. Any such settlement or compromise by Purchaser shall represent the agreement of Purchaser that the Losses incurred in connection therewith shall be indemnifiable hereunder.

(d) If Seller becomes aware of a third party Action that Seller believes, in good faith, may result in a Seller Indemnification Claim other than a Seller Indemnification Claim relating to any Assumed Liability, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such Action. Purchaser shall have the right (exercisable within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt by Purchaser of Seller’s notice), but not the obligation to conduct the defense thereof. The party conducting such defense (the “Defending Party”) shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the

CONFIDENTIAL

other party from time to time, give updates as to the status of such Action. The party not conducting such defense shall be entitled to participate in any such defense at its sole cost and expense. The Defending Party may agree to any settlement or compromise of any such third party Action in its sole discretion, so long as such settlement or compromise (A) does not obligate any Indemnitee to take or refrain from taking any action and (B) provides for a complete release of the Indemnitee by such third party. If Purchaser is the Defending Party, any such settlement or compromise by Purchaser shall represent the agreement of Purchaser that the Losses incurred in connection therewith shall be indemnifiable hereunder.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(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 the Claim Amount to Seller (on behalf of any other

CONFIDENTIAL

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 therefore 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.
