2.1.7. Cure Costs; Adequate Assurance; Efforts.

(a) Except for those Assumed and Assigned Contracts set forth on Section 2.1.7 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, to the extent that assumption and assignment of any Assumed and Assigned Contract entails the payment of any Cure Cost, NNI shall, or shall cause

the relevant U.S. Debtor to, pay or otherwise provide for payment of such Cure Cost as required by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and provided in the U.S. Sale Order.

(b) To the extent that assignment to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser of any Designated Non-365 Contract entails the payment of any Cure Cost, the relevant Main Sellers shall, or shall cause the relevant Seller to, pay such amounts directly to such counterparty, and shall offer to do so on or prior to Closing, in a manner agreed between such Main Seller or such relevant Seller, as applicable, and such counterparty or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

To the extent that the assignment, sublease or license to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser of any Non-365 Real Estate Leases or the Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Leases or Non-365 Licensed Real Estate Leases entails the payment of any amount to any party other than a Seller, the relevant Main Sellers shall, or shall cause the relevant Seller to, pay such amounts directly to such contracting party and shall offer to do so on or prior to Closing, in a manner agreed between such Main Seller or such relevant Seller, as applicable and such contracting party or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Prior to the hearing before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to approve the assumption and assignment of the Assumed and Assigned Contracts, the Purchaser shall provide, as necessary, adequate assurance of its and the relevant Designated Purchasers’ future performance under each Assumed and Assigned Contract to the parties thereto (other than the Sellers) in satisfaction of Section 365(f)(2)(B) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and to the extent required by the U.S. Sale Order.

(e) Sellers shall use reasonable efforts, both before and after Closing, to obtain all Consents in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser required to permit the assignment, sublease or license, as applicable, to the Purchaser (or, if specified by the Purchaser, a Designated Purchaser) of the Assigned Contracts in force as of the Closing Date, and the entry into Subleases and Licenses, as applicable, and the Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers to the extent necessary to obtain the same; provided, however, that the Sellers shall be under no obligation to seek any such Consent prior to the completion of the Auction or to compromise any right, asset or benefit (including relinquishment of rights in the Retained Field of Use, as defined in the Intellectual Property License Agreement) or to expend any amount or incur any Liability or provide any other consideration in seeking such Consents (other than the payment of Cure Costs pursuant to this Section 2.1.7); provided, further, that Sellers’ obligations under this Section 2.1.7 with respect to any Lease shall be subject to Purchaser’s obligation to provide the adequate assurances required by the relevant landlord and/or the U.S. Bankruptcy Code as necessary, and, for greater certainty, except as set forth in Section 8.3(d), the failure to obtain any or all of such Consents shall not in itself entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or fail to complete the transactions contemplated hereby or entitle the Purchaser to any adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(f) To the extent that the obtaining of a Consent required pursuant to Section 5.16 with respect to a Specified CDMA Contract entails the payment of any Cure Cost, the Main Sellers shall pay or cause the relevant Seller to pay or otherwise provide for the payment of such Cure Cost prior to the Closing.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, if reasonably requested in writing by the Purchaser to effect the Closing on the terms hereof, the relevant Sellers shall, and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the relevant Designated Purchasers to, enter into such agreements or instruments, including bills of sale and/or assignment and assumption agreements (the “Local Sale Agreements”), providing for (i) the sale, transfer, assignment or other conveyance to the Purchaser and relevant Designated Purchasers, in accordance with the requirements of applicable local Law, and (ii) the assumption by the Designated Purchasers of any Assumed Liability that the Purchaser intends to allocate to them. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Local Sale Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.

2.1.9. EMEA Debtors.

None of the EMEA Debtors or the Joint Administrators shall assume, or be deemed to assume, any Liability whatsoever under this Agreement and nothing in this Agreement shall apply to, or govern, the sale, assignment, transfer, retention or assumption of assets, rights, properties or Liabilities of, or by, any EMEA Debtors or the Joint Administrators in any manner whatsoever. Neither the Purchaser nor any Designated Purchaser shall be entitled to make any claim under this Agreement, or assert any right hereunder, against any Person other than the Sellers.

2.1.10. Non-Assignable Assets.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Consent of a Third Party (including a Government Entity) has not been obtained on or prior to Closing, then, unless such Consent is subsequently obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, transfer or assign, directly or indirectly, any Asset or any obligation or benefit arising thereunder if an attempted direct or indirect sale, transfer, lease, sublease or assignment thereof, without such Consent, would constitute a breach, default, violation or other contravention of the rights of such Third Party or would be ineffective with respect to any party to a Contract concerning such Asset; provided, however, that the Sellers shall use their reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with any commercially reasonable arrangement to provide the Purchaser the same interest, benefits and rights with respect to such Asset as the applicable Seller had immediately prior to the Closing; provided, further, that unless requested by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, the Purchaser shall not have any interest, benefits or rights with respect to the China Assets prior to the closing under the China Asset Sale Agreement.

Section 2.2. Purchase Price; Adjustment.

2.2.1. Purchase Price.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, in consideration of the sale of the Assets pursuant to the terms hereof, and of the rights granted by certain Sellers under the Intellectual Property License Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement, the Purchaser, on its own behalf and as agent for the relevant Designated Purchasers, shall (x) assume and become obligated to pay, perform and discharge, when due, the Assumed Liabilities and (y) pay to the Sellers an amount of cash (the “Purchase Price”) equal to one billion one hundred thirty million dollars ($1,130,000,000) as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.2.3.

(b) As used in this Agreement, “Estimated Purchase Price” means an amount equal to:

(i) one billion one hundred thirty million dollars ($1,130,000,000); minus

(ii) $2,600,000 for the China Assets; plus

(iii) an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to the Estimated Adjusted Net Working Capital plus $22,000,000; minus

(iv) the Estimated Employee Adjustment Amount (if any);

The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Calculation Principles and the terms hereof.

(b) If the Main Sellers disagree with the determination of the Closing Statement, the Main Sellers shall notify the Purchaser of such disagreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement (such notice, the “Disagreement Notice”).

Matters included in the calculations in the Closing Statement to which the Main Sellers do not object in the Disagreement Notice shall be deemed accepted by the Main Sellers and shall not be subject to

further dispute or review. Throughout the periods during which the Closing Statement is being prepared and any disputes that may arise under this Section 2.2.3 are being resolved, the Purchaser shall, promptly upon request, provide the Main Sellers and their accountants access to the books, records and personnel of the Business and all documents, schedules and workpapers used by the Purchaser in the preparation of the Closing Statement or that are otherwise reasonably necessary for the Main Sellers and their accountants to review the Closing Statement (provided that nothing herein shall require the Purchaser to disclose any information to the Main Sellers if such information disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or legal privilege or contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement, it being understood, that Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the Main Sellers or their Representatives to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement). The Main Sellers and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Closing Statement, and any resolution agreed to in writing by the Main Sellers and the Purchaser shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

(c) If the Main Sellers and the Purchaser are unable to resolve any disagreement as contemplated by Section 2.2.3.1(b) within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Disagreement Notice by the Main Sellers, the Independent Auditor shall serve as arbitrator (the “Accounting Arbitrator”) to resolve such disagreement. The Primary Parties shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator to consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement as to which the Primary Parties have not resolved their disagreement and to conduct such hearings as it considers necessary to resolve such disagreement. The Primary Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Arbitrator to deliver to the Primary Parties, as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than fifteen (15) days after its appointment), a written report setting forth the resolution of any such disagreement determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such report and the Closing Statement, as adjusted thereby, shall be final and binding upon the Sellers, the Purchaser and the Designated Purchaser. In the event the Accounting Arbitrator concludes that the Purchaser was correct as to a majority (by dollar amount) of the disputed items, then the Sellers shall pay the Accounting Arbitrator’s fees, costs and expenses.

Amount to the Sellers, in either case by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollar funds to an account designated by the party receiving payment, within (3) three Business Days after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price, plus interest on such amount, accrued from the Closing Date to the date of such payment in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the date hereof, the Sellers who are U.S. Debtors shall seek to obtain approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the sale of the Assets to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, the assumption by the U.S. Debtors and assignment to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser of the Assumed and Assigned Contracts and the Assumed Liabilities, and the assumption by the U.S. Debtors of the Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Leases and entry into Subleases with the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser under such Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Leases and, if applicable, the assumption of any Licensed Real Estate Leases and the entry into Licenses with a Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser under such Licensed Real Estate Leases, subject to the Sellers’ right to reject any such Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease or Licensed Real Estate Lease as specified in Section 2.1.5(b), 2.1.5(c), Section 5.26, Section 5.28 and the Real Estate Agreements Term Sheet, pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Sections 105, 363 and 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1 (the “U.S. Sale Order”). Any material changes to the U.S. Sale Order shall require the Purchaser’s prior approval in its reasonable discretion (it being understood that certain of such provisions must constitute findings of fact or conclusions of Law to be made by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court as part of the U.S. Sale Order).

Section 5.2. Canadian Bankruptcy Actions.

5.2.1. Canadian Approval and Vesting Order.

As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the date on which the U.S. Sale Order is granted, and subject to their rights and obligations set forth in the Canadian Sales

Process Order, the Canadian Debtors shall file with the Canadian Court one or more motions (the “Canadian Approval and Vesting Order Motion”) seeking to obtain entry of an order substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit 5.2.1 (with such changes thereto as the Parties shall reasonably approve, provided that material changes thereto shall require the Purchaser’s approval in its reasonable discretion) (such order as approved, the “Canadian Approval and Vesting Order”) of the Canadian Court approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

5.2.2. Additional Requests.

In connection with the foregoing, the Canadian Debtors shall seek in good faith in the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order Motion to (i) have the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order include a finding that, to the extent permitted by Law, neither the Purchaser nor any relevant Designated Purchaser is a successor to the Sellers or their bankruptcy estate by reason of any theory of law or equity, and neither the Purchaser nor any Designated Purchaser shall assume or in any way be responsible for any Liability of any of the Sellers and/or their bankruptcy estates, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; (ii) have the endorsement of the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order or the order itself, include a finding that the consideration provided by the Purchaser and any Designated Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Assets; and (iii) have the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order include a clause that prohibits the holders of any charges granted in the CCAA Cases from taking any steps under such charges that would adversely affect or interfere with the rights granted to the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser pursuant to its sublease of the Carling Property. For greater certainty, nothing herein shall require the items in the preceding sentence to be included in the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order or any endorsement thereof, notwithstanding that such provisions may be included in the form set forth of the order set forth in Exhibit 5.2.1.

Section 5.3. Consultation; Notification.

(a) The Purchaser and the U.S. Debtors shall cooperate with obtaining entry of the U.S. Sale Order, and the U.S. Debtors shall deliver to the Purchaser prior to filing, and as early in advance as is practicable to permit adequate and reasonable time for the Purchaser and its counsel to review and comment, copies of all proposed pleadings, motions, objections, responses to objections, notices, statements, schedules, applications, reports and other material papers to be filed by the U.S. Debtors in connection with such motions and relief requested therein and any challenges thereto.

(b) The Purchaser and the Canadian Debtors shall cooperate with filing and prosecuting the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order Motion and in obtaining entry of the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order, and the Canadian Debtors shall deliver to the Purchaser prior to filing, and as early in advance as is practicable to permit adequate and reasonable time for the Purchaser and its counsel to review and comment, copies of all proposed pleadings, motions, notices, statements, schedules, applications, reports and other material papers to be filed by the Canadian Debtors in connection with such motions and relief requested therein and any challenges thereto.

(c) If the U.S. Sale Order or any other order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement shall be appealed by any Person (or a petition for certiorari or motion for rehearing, re-argument or stay shall be filed with respect thereto), the U.S. Debtors agree to take all reasonable steps, and use their best efforts, including incurring reasonable expenses, to defend against such appeal, petition or motion, and the Purchaser agrees to cooperate in such efforts. Each of the Parties hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps, and use its best efforts, to obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal; provided, however, that, subject to the conditions set forth herein and assuming the Parties are not precluded pursuant to Section 5.3(d) from consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section shall preclude the Parties from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby if the U.S. Sale Order shall have been entered and shall not have been stayed, modified, revised or amended, in which event the Purchaser and the relevant Designated Purchasers shall be able to assert the benefits of Section 363(m) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and, as a consequence of which, such appeal shall become moot.

(d) If the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order or any other order of the Canadian Court relating to this Agreement shall be appealed by any Person (or a motion for rehearing, re-argument or stay shall be filed with respect thereto), the Canadian Debtors agree to, and to cause their Affiliates (other than any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries) to, take all reasonable steps, and use their best efforts, including incurring reasonable expenses, to defend against such appeal or motion, and the Purchaser agrees to cooperate in such efforts. Each of the Parties hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps, and use its best efforts, to obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal; provided, however, that, subject to the conditions set forth herein and assuming the Parties are not precluded pursuant to Section 5.3(c) from consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nothing in this Section shall preclude the Parties from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby if the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order shall have been entered and shall not have been stayed, modified, revised or amended.

Section 5.4. Pre-Closing Cooperation.

(a) Other than efforts to obtain any requisite Consent in respect of Contracts, which are covered by Section 2.1.7, prior to the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and cooperate with each other in order to do, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable and cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to the other Parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable efforts in connection with: (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Closing and the taking of such actions as are necessary to obtain any requisite Consent; provided, that the Sellers shall not be obligated to make any payment or deliver anything of value to any Government Entity in order to obtain any such Consent (other than filing and application fees to Government Entities), (ii) defending all lawsuits and other proceedings by or before any Government Entity challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Closing, (iii) causing to be lifted or rescinded any injunction, decree, ruling, order or other action of any Government Entity that would prohibit, prevent, restrict or

(b) Each Primary Party shall promptly notify the other Primary Party of the occurrence, to such Party’s knowledge, of any event or condition, or the existence, to such Party’s knowledge, of any fact, that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VIII not being satisfied.

Section 5.5. Antitrust and Other Regulatory Approvals.

(a) In furtherance and not in limitation of the provisions of Section 5.4, each of the Parties, as applicable, agrees to (i) prepare and file as promptly as practicable, and in any event by no later than ten (10) Business Days from the date of this Agreement an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act and a request for an advance ruling certificate pursuant to Section 102 of the Competition Act, and if deemed advisable by the Purchaser, acting reasonably, a pre-merger notification filing under the Competition Act and (ii) prepare and file as promptly as practicable all other necessary documents, registrations, statements, petitions, filings and applications for other Antitrust Approvals and any other Consent of any other Government Entities either required or that the Primary Parties mutually agree are advisable to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 8.1(a).

(b) If a Party or any of its Affiliates (other than any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries) receives a request for information or documentary material from any Government Entity with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, then such Party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other Party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

(c) The Parties shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining the Regulatory Approvals of each applicable Government Entity, including:

(i) cooperating with each other in connection with filings required to be made, or considered advisable to make, or information required to be provided by any Party under the applicable Antitrust Laws or any Laws regulating foreign investment of any jurisdiction (including the Investment Canada Act) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and liaising with each other in relation to each step of the procedure before the relevant Government Entities and as to the contents of all communications with such Government Entities. In particular, to the extent permitted by Law or Government Entity, no Party will make any notification or submission to any Government Entity in relation to the transactions contemplated

hereunder without first providing the other Parties or their outside counsel with a copy of such notification in draft form and giving such other party or counsel a reasonable opportunity to discuss its content before it is filed with the relevant Government Entities, and such first Party shall consider and take account of all reasonable comments timely made by the other Parties in this respect; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to provide the other Party with such portions of notifications or submissions that would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege (it being understood, however, that the Parties shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the other Parties to occur without so jeopardizing privilege); provided, further, that a Party may provide such portions of notifications or submissions solely to the other Party’s outside counsel pursuant to a common interest agreement and non-disclosure agreement, each to be negotiated by the Parties in good faith, if such Party determines, acting reasonably, that the provision to the other Party of such portions of notifications or submissions could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon it if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated;

(ii) furnishing to the other Primary Parties or their outside counsel all information within its possession that is required for any application or other filing to be made or information required to be provided by the other Party pursuant to the applicable Antitrust Laws or any Laws regulating foreign investment of any jurisdiction (including the Investment Canada Act), in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) no such information shall be required to be provided by a Party if it determines, acting reasonably, that such information is material and competitively sensitive or that the provision of such information could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon it if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement were not completed or that the provision of such information would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege (it being understood, however, that the Parties shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the other Parties to occur without so jeopardizing privilege), and (b) in any such case the Purchaser and the Main Sellers shall cooperate with a view to establishing a mutually satisfactory procedure for providing such information directly to the Government Entity requiring or requesting such information, and the relevant Main Seller or the Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser required to provide such information shall provide it directly to such Government Entity requiring or requesting such information;

(iii) promptly notifying each other of any communications from or with any Government Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and ensuring to the extent permitted by Law or Government Entity that each of the Primary Parties is entitled to attend any meetings with or other appearances before any Government Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv) consulting and cooperating with one another in connection with all analyses, appearances, presentations, representations, 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 Antitrust Laws or any Laws

regulating foreign investment of any jurisdiction (including the Investment Canada Act) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(v) without prejudice to any rights of the Parties hereunder, consulting and cooperating in all respects with the other in defending all lawsuits and other proceedings by or before any Government Entity challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) In addition, subject to any limitations set forth in Section 5.5(e), the Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of the Designated Purchasers to, use its reasonable efforts to satisfy (or cause the satisfaction of) the conditions precedent to the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder as set forth in Section 8.1(a) to the extent the same is within its control and to take, or cause to be taken, all other action and to do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable under all applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using its reasonable efforts to obtain all Regulatory Approvals required, or in the case of the CFIUS Approval, requested by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.5(f), in order for the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) The obligations of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.5(d) shall include committing, and causing the Designated Purchasers to use their respective reasonable efforts to commit, to any and all undertakings, divestitures, licenses or hold separate or similar arrangements with respect to their respective assets or the Assets or conduct of business arrangements or terminating any and all existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations as a condition to obtaining any and all Consents from any Government Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including taking any and all actions necessary in order to ensure the receipt of the necessary Consents and Regulatory Approvals; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require or be construed to require Purchaser or the Designated Purchasers to commit to any undertaking, divestiture, license or hold separate or similar arrangement or conduct of business arrangement or to terminate any relationships, rights or obligations or to do any other act, to the extent such commitment, termination or action would be reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the business, financial condition, or prospects of the Business or the Purchaser or the Designated Purchasers. This Section 5.5(e) shall not apply to the Investment Canada Act or any related Regulatory Approvals.

(f) Upon the Purchaser’s request, which may occur no later than the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any filing required to be made with CFIUS with regard to the transactions contemplated herein; provided that the Purchaser shall take primary responsibility for preparation and submission of any such filing, and the Sellers hereby agree to provide the Purchaser on a reasonably prompt basis all necessary information and otherwise to render reasonable assistance to allow the Purchaser to reasonably promptly complete preparation and submission of the filing and to respond to any inquiries from CFIUS or any other interested Government Entity.

(g) If the ICA Approval becomes a condition to Closing, upon the Purchaser’s request, the Sellers shall cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with any filings or submissions to be made by it under the Investment Canada Act with regard to the transactions

contemplated herein, and the Sellers hereby agree to provide the Purchaser on a prompt basis all necessary information and otherwise render assistance to allow the Purchaser to reasonably promptly complete preparation and submission of any such filings or submissions and to respond to any enquiries from any Government Entity responsible for or administering the Investment Canada Act, including at Purchaser’s request attending or participating in meetings or writing in support of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Business. The Purchaser shall keep the Sellers apprised of the status of matters related to obtaining the ICA Approval.

(h) Upon the Purchaser’s request, which may occur no later than the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with any filing required to be made with the Federal Communications Commission, or any other Government Entity with jurisdiction over authorization of telecommunications equipment, for any approvals or required notifications; provided that, the Purchaser shall take primary responsibility for preparation and submission of any such filing, and the Sellers hereby agree to provide the Purchaser on a reasonably prompt basis all necessary information and otherwise to render reasonable assistance to allow the Purchaser to reasonably promptly complete preparation and submission of the filing and to respond to any inquiries from the Federal Communications Commission or any such Government Entity.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, the covenants under this Section 5.5 shall not apply to any action, effort, filing, Consent, proceedings, or other activity or matter relating to the Bankruptcy Courts, the Bankruptcy Proceedings and/or the Bankruptcy Consents.

Section 5.6. Pre-Closing Access to Information.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Main Sellers shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries (other than the EMEA Debtors and their respective Subsidiaries) to, (i) give the Purchaser and its Representatives, upon any reasonable advance notice and during regular business hours, reasonable access to all books, records, personnel, officers, advisors, agents, bankers and other Representatives and other facilities and properties of the Business (including physical access to any Leased Real Property and/or Direct Lease Real Estate), (ii) permit the Purchaser and its Representatives to make such copies and inspections thereof, upon reasonable advance notice and during regular business hours, as the Purchaser may reasonably request and (iii) cause the officers of the Sellers to furnish the Purchaser with such additional financial and operating data and other information with respect to the Business as is regularly prepared in the Ordinary Course that the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that (A) any such access shall be conducted at Purchaser’s expense in accordance with Law (including any applicable Antitrust Law and Bankruptcy Law), under the supervision of the Sellers’ personnel and in such a manner as to maintain confidentiality and not to interfere with the normal operations of the businesses of the Sellers and their Affiliates and (B) the Sellers will not be required to provide to the Purchaser access to or copies of any Employee Records, unless consented to by such Employee.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Purchaser and the Sellers executed on or prior to the date hereof, the Sellers shall not have any obligation to make available to the Purchaser or its Representatives, or provide the Purchaser or its Representatives with, (i) any income Tax Return or any combined or

consolidated Tax Return filed by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates or predecessors, or any related material, or (ii) more generally, any information if making such information available would (A) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (B) potentially cause the Sellers to be found in contravention of any applicable Law or contravene any fiduciary duty or agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which the Sellers or any of their Affiliates is a party), it being understood that the Sellers shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the Purchaser to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement.

Section 5.7. Public Announcements.

Subject to (a) the provisions of ARTICLE VII with respect to communications and announcements to the Employees and the employees of the Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers and (b) each Party’s disclosure obligations imposed by Law or stock exchange regulation (including any obligations under any Bankruptcy Laws), during the period from the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Purchaser and the Main Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (other than any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries) to, (i) cooperate with the other Primary Party in the development and distribution of all news releases, other public information disclosures and announcements, including announcements and notices to customers, suppliers and Employees, with respect to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (ii) not issue any such announcement or statement prior to consultation with, and the approval of, the other Primary Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that approval shall not be required where the disclosing Primary Party determines, based on advice of counsel and after consultation with the other Primary Parties, that such disclosure is required by Law or stock exchange regulation.

Section 5.8. Post-Closing Cooperation.

From and after the Closing Date, each of the Parties shall execute and deliver such documents and other papers and take such further actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and give effect to the transactions contemplated herein and therein, including (i) the execution and delivery of such assignments, deeds and other documents as may be necessary to transfer any Assets as provided in this Agreement and, unless executed and delivered prior to Closing, including the execution and delivery of such notices of lease/sublease in registrable form to be registered against the applicable Leased Real Property and Direct Lease Real Estate to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the applicable Lease and (ii) the assumption and assignment of 365 Contracts and the assignment of Non-365 Contracts, in each case, that were not previously assumed and assigned to the Purchaser prior to Closing.

(iii) required by Law (including any applicable Bankruptcy Law or by any order of a Bankruptcy Court entered as of the date hereof), or (iv) relates solely to Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities, the Sellers shall and shall cause their Affiliates (other than the EMEA Debtors and their respective Subsidiaries) to (A) conduct the Business and maintain the level of operations and maintenance expenses at an adequate level, all in the Ordinary Course and (B) abstain from any of the following actions:

(d) grant any lease, sublease, license, sublicense or other occupancy rights under or with respect to any portion of Leased Real Property or the Direct Lease Real Estate used in the Business or amend any Real Estate Leases in any material respect or in any manner which would impose on the assignee thereof any financial obligation thereunder that does not currently exist or terminate or surrender or agree to a release of any such Real Estate Lease, in whole or in part;

(i) waive, release, assign, settle or compromise any material claim, litigation or arbitration relating to the Business to the extent that such waiver, release, assignment, settlement or compromise imposes any binding obligation, whether contingent or realized, on the Business that will bind any of the Designated Purchasers after the Closing Date and is materially adverse to the Business;

Section 5.11. Confidentiality.

The Parties acknowledge that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, which are incorporated herein by reference, and the Parties agree to be bound thereby in the same manner and to the same extent as if the terms had

been set forth herein in full, except that the Sellers shall be at liberty to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any court or to any liquidator or in connection with any auction process approved by the Bankruptcy Court and show appropriate figures in their administration records, accounts and returns; provided, that after the Closing Date, the Purchaser’s confidentiality obligations under this Section 5.11 and the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to information and data relating to the Business and/or the Assets shall terminate. Any Business Information or copies thereof retained by the Sellers pursuant to Section 5.24(c) shall be deemed to constitute “Evaluation Material” as such term is defined under the Confidentiality Agreement and, from and after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall treat such Business Information on the same terms and conditions applicable to the Purchaser’s treatment of “Evaluation Material” as such term is defined under the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 5.12. Disclosure Schedules and Certain Information.

(a) The Sellers shall submit to the Purchaser, every two weeks, written updates to Section 4.11(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule. The Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to submit to the Purchaser, as promptly as reasonably practicable, written updates to the Sellers Disclosure Schedule in respect of ARTICLE IV disclosing any events or developments that occurred or any information learned between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date that reflect any matters hereafter arising which, if existing, occurring or known to the Sellers at the date hereof, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule in relation to ARTICLE IV; provided, that such updates shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether or not the condition contained in Section 8.3(a) has been fulfilled.

(b) The Sellers shall give prompt notice to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the Sellers, upon obtaining knowledge of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event that, individually or in the aggregate, would make the timely satisfaction of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VIII impossible or unlikely.

(c) The delivery of any update or notice pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to any party receiving such notice. This Section 5.12 shall not constitute a covenant or agreement for purposes of ARTICLE VIII or ARTICLE IX.

Section 5.13. Certain Payments or Instruments Received from Third Parties.

To the extent that, after the Closing Date, (a) the Purchaser and/or any Designated Purchaser receives any payment or instrument that is for the account of a Seller according to the terms of any Transaction Document or relates primarily to any business or business segment of the Sellers other than the Business, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to, promptly deliver such amount or instrument to the relevant Seller, and (b) any of the Sellers receives any payment that is for the account of the Purchaser, any of the Designated Purchasers according to the terms of any Transaction Document or relates primarily to the Business, the relevant Main Sellers shall, and shall cause the other Sellers to, promptly deliver such amount or instrument to the Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser, as applicable.

All amounts due and payable under this Section 5.13 shall be due and payable by the applicable Party in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account designated in writing by the relevant Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party hereby undertakes to use its reasonable efforts to direct or forward all bills, invoices or like instruments to the appropriate Party.

Section 5.14. Non-Assignable Contracts.

(a) To the extent that any Assigned Contract or any Seller Consent is not capable of being assigned under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or, if inapplicable, pursuant to other applicable Laws or the terms of such Contract or Consent) to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at the Closing, (i) without the Consent of the issuer thereof or the other party thereto or any Third Party (including a Government Entity), and such Consent cannot be obtained pursuant to Section 2.1.7 or (ii) whether or not Consent is required, without Sellers’ and their Affiliates’ compromising any right, asset or benefit (including, with respect to licenses of Intellectual Property, relinquishment of rights in the Retained Field of Use, as defined in the Intellectual Property License Agreement) or expending any amount or incurring any Liability or providing any other consideration other than as provided in Section 2.1.7 (collectively, the “Non-Assignable Contracts”), this Agreement will not constitute an assignment thereof, or an attempted assignment, unless and until any such Consent is obtained; provided, however, that the Sellers will use their reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with any commercially reasonable arrangement to provide the Purchaser the same interest, benefits and rights under any such Non-Assignable Contracts that are not licenses of Intellectual Property or Real Estate Leases as the applicable Seller had immediately prior to the Closing, including entering into one or more mutually agreed commercially reasonable subcontract agreements, and (ii) facilitate Purchaser’s negotiation with the other party to each Non-Assignable Contract that is a license of Intellectual Property to provide the Purchaser the same interest, benefits and rights under any such Non-Assignable Contracts as the applicable Seller had immediately prior to the Closing (including paying Cure Costs in order to obtain such Consent). Provided, and only for so long as, the arrangements described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence are made such that Purchaser has obtained the same interest, benefits and rights under any such Non-Assignable Contracts, then, as between the Sellers and the Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser), such Non-Assignable Contracts shall be deemed to be assigned and the Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) shall perform all obligations and covenants thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences, nothing in this Section 5.14 shall require any Seller to renew, modify or amend any Non-Assignable Contract once it has expired. Any Non-Assignable Contract assigned pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.14 shall, when assigned, constitute an Assigned Contract hereunder for all purposes, except under Section 8.3(d), from and after such date.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement (including Section 5.14(a) and Section 8.3(d)) and all representations and warranties of the Sellers contained herein), the relevant Sellers shall be deemed to have obtained all required Consents in respect of the assignment of any Assumed and Assigned Contract if, and to the extent that, pursuant to the U.S. Sale Order, the Sellers are authorized to assume and assign to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser such Seller Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and any applicable Cure Cost has been satisfied as provided in Section 2.1.7.

Section 5.15. Inbound License Agreements.

Each of the Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and the Purchaser shall cause any relevant Designated Purchaser and the Sellers shall cause any Affiliate (other than the EMEA Debtors) to, use reasonable efforts and work cooperatively in good faith to facilitate the Purchaser’s negotiation with the licensor under any Inbound License Agreement that is not assigned to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to obtain rights for the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to use the Intellectual Property that is licensed under that Inbound License Agreement, or, if that negotiation is unsuccessful, the Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to provide the same interests, benefits and rights under such Inbound License Agreement, in each case, as reasonably necessary to effectively operate the Business from and after Closing, including in the case of the Sellers requesting Consent to the grant of these rights from the relevant third party; provided, however, that the Sellers shall be under no obligation to seek any such Consent prior to the completion of the Auction or to compromise any right, asset or benefit (including relinquishment of rights in the Retained Field of Use, as defined in the Intellectual Property License Agreement) or to expend any amount or incur any Liability or provide any other consideration in complying with its obligations under this Section 5.15.

Section 5.16. Bundled Contracts.

(a) Each of the Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and the Purchaser shall cause any relevant Designated Purchaser, as applicable, to use its reasonable efforts to, prior to the Closing Date, enter into arrangements with the counterparty to each Contract of a Seller that is listed in Section 5.16 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (a “Bundled Contract”), to amend such Bundled Contract so as to delete all obligations and Liabilities therefrom as they relate to the CDMA Products and the CDMA Services and enter into a new Contract (effective as of, and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Closing) with the applicable counterparty and which only relates to CDMA Products and CDMA Services, on substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect for the sale or provision of CDMA Products and/or CDMA Services under the Bundled Contract or as otherwise acceptable to Purchaser, in which event such new Contract shall be deemed to be an Assigned Contract, and such Bundled Contract shall cease to be a Bundled Contract. Seller shall generally be responsible for all administrative costs, fees and expenses connected with the amendment of a Bundled Contract and entry into a new Contract to replace a Bundled Contract as provided in the preceding sentence (other than Cure Costs and consent fees in respect of Bundled Contracts that are not Specified CDMA Contracts or the costs, fees and expenses of Purchaser or any counsel to Purchaser); provided, however, that the Sellers shall be under no obligation to compromise any right, asset or benefit in obtaining such arrangements and the failure to enter into such arrangements with respect to any Bundled Contract shall not entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement, not to complete the transactions contemplated hereby (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3(d)) or reduce the Purchase Price payable hereunder (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2.1). Except with respect to the Specified CDMA Contracts, which must be separated, in the event Sellers’ efforts do not result in the separation of a Bundled Contract, then Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to enter into reasonable arrangements to provide the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser, as applicable, the same interest, benefits, rights and obligations under such Bundled Contract, only to the extent relating to the CDMA Business. In particular, with respect to the Master Agreements ( as defined in Exhibit F), the Sellers shall comply with their obligation to

enter into a subcontract agreement relating to those Master Agreements if requested by the Purchaser, by entering into the Flextronics Back-to-Back Agreement at Closing. In connection with the efforts required of the Sellers, the Purchaser and any relevant Designated Purchaser hereunder agrees, at the request of the Main Sellers, to assume all Liabilities relating to CDMA Products and CDMA Services supplied to Verizon Services Corporation and Verizon Wireless (collectively, “Verizon”) under the General Purchaser Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2007, between NNI and Verizon, whether such Liabilities arise before, as of or after Closing, in connection with the assignment to the Purchaser of a new contract between NNI and Verizon in respect of CDMA Products and CDMA Services.

(b) For those Bundled Contracts for which the arrangements mentioned in Section 5.16(a) could not be entered into prior to the Closing Date, the relevant Sellers shall either: (i) continue to use their reasonable efforts to facilitate the entry by the Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser and the other party to each such Bundled Contract into a new Contract that only relates to CDMA Products and/or CDMA Services, on substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect for the sale or provision of CDMA Products and/or CDMA Services under the Bundled Contract or as otherwise acceptable to Purchaser, and/or (ii) use their reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Purchaser in any commercially reasonable arrangement to provide the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser, as applicable, the same interest, benefits and rights under any such Bundled Contract only to the extent relating to CDMA Products and/or CDMA Services as the applicable Seller had immediately prior to the Closing, including using its reasonable efforts to enter into one or more mutually agreed commercially reasonable subcontract agreements with respect to such Bundled Contracts; provided, that (A) nothing in this Section 5.16 shall require the Sellers to renew any Bundled Contract once it has expired, (B) the Sellers shall have the right, any time after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, to exercise any right to terminate any Bundled Contract, and (C) the Sellers shall be under no obligation to compromise any right, asset or benefit or incur any Liability in order to comply with its obligations under this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall not take any action to terminate or reject any Bundled Contract, or take any action or fail to take any action that would permit the other party to any Bundled Contract to terminate such Bundled Contract, in each case, prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

Section 5.17. Post-Closing Assistance for Litigation.

(a) After the Closing, the Purchaser shall, upon the request of the Sellers and at the Sellers’ cost (including reimbursement of out of pocket expenses of the Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers and payment of a reasonable per diem to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser which per diem shall be based on the total compensation of the affected Transferring Employees at the time), require the Transferring Employees to make themselves reasonably available at reasonable times and cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Sellers and their Affiliates in the preparation for, and defense of, any lawsuit, arbitration or other Action (whether disclosed or not disclosed in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule) filed or claimed against the Sellers or any of their Affiliates or any of the respective agents, directors, officers and employees of the Sellers and their Affiliates, whether currently pending or asserted in the future, concerning the operation or conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder shall only extend to the Transferring Employees who remain employed by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser as of the date of the Seller’s

request and shall not apply to former employees no longer employed by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser as of such date and shall not require the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to continue the employment of any such employee.

(b) After the Closing, the Sellers shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, and at the Purchaser’s cost (including reimbursement of out of pocket expenses of the Sellers and payment of a reasonable per diem to the Sellers which per diem shall be based on the total compensation of the affected employees at the time), require their employees that were not Transferring Employees to make themselves reasonably available and cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers and their Affiliates in the preparation for, and defense of, any lawsuit, arbitration or other Action filed or claimed against the Purchaser, any of the Designated Purchasers, any of their Affiliates or any of the respective agents, directors, officers and employees of any of the foregoing, whether currently pending or asserted in the future, concerning the operation or conduct of the Business; provided, that the obligations of the Sellers or their Affiliates under this Section 5.17(b) shall only extend to the employees of such Sellers or Sellers’ Affiliates as of the date of Purchaser’s request and shall not apply to former employees no longer employed by such Sellers or Seller’s Affiliates as of such date and shall not require Sellers or Seller’s Affiliates to continue the employment of any such employee.

Section 5.18. Delivery of Assets.

(a) To the extent not provided for in the Transition Services Agreement or the Real Estate Agreements Term Sheet, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the relevant Designated Purchasers to, within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, relocate at the Purchaser’s cost all tangible Assets and Purchaser’s activities from all premises owned or leased by the Sellers or their Affiliates after the Closing other than those premises to be occupied by the Purchaser or any Designated Purchasers after the Closing Date pursuant to the provisions of the Real Estate Agreements, the Direct Leases or the Assumed and Assigned Contracts.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable, and in no event more than thirty (30) days, after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser copies of filings, prosecution files, dockets and certifications relating to the filing, prosecution, issuance, renewal and enforcement of the Business Registered IP; provided, that all items to be delivered hereunder shall be delivered solely by remote telecommunication to the extent the Purchaser may so request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, within thirty (30) days of Closing, the Sellers shall and shall cause their Affiliates (other than any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries) to, instruct their current attorneys and agents to deliver to the Purchaser, or attorneys designated by Purchaser, any and all records in the possession of such attorneys and agents relating to the prosecution of any applications, registrations and renewals of any Business Registered IP.

Section 5.19. Termination of Overhead and Shared Services.

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement, effective as of the Closing Date (i) all Overhead and Shared Services provided to the Business (except the Transferred Overhead and Shared

Services) shall cease and (ii) the Sellers or their Affiliates shall have no further obligation to provide any Overhead and Shared Services to the Business.

Section 5.20. Insurance Matters.

(a) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that coverage of the Covered Assets and Persons under the Seller Insurance Policies shall cease as of the Closing Date and the Covered Assets and Persons (other than assets used in, and Persons engaged in, the provision of services under the Transition Services Agreement, except as otherwise set forth therein) will be deleted in all respects as insured (or additional insured, as the case may be) under all Seller Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Sellers shall retain any rights to, including any right to any proceeds received in respect of, any claim pending as of the date hereof or made after the date hereof under any Seller Insurance Policy.

(b) If after the Closing Date the Purchaser or the Sellers (or any of their respective Affiliates) reasonably require any information regarding claim data or other information pertaining to a claim or an occurrence reasonably likely to give rise to a claim (including any pre-Closing claims under the Seller Insurance Policies that are to be covered under the retrospective component of the new insurance policy) in order to give notice to or make filings with insurance carriers or claims adjustors or administrators or to adjust, administer or otherwise manage a claim, then the Sellers or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall cause such information to be supplied to the other (or their designee), to the extent such information is in their possession and control or can be reasonably obtained by the Sellers or the Purchaser (or their respective Affiliates (other than, in the case of the Sellers, any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries)), as applicable, promptly upon a written request therefore. If the Purchaser desires access to, and utilization of, claims data or information maintained by an insurance company or other Third Party in respect of any claim (including any pre-Closing claims under any Seller Insurance Policies that are covered under the retrospective component of the new insurance policies), the Purchaser shall be exclusively responsible for acquiring from such insurance company or Third Party, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, the rights necessary to permit them to obtain access to and utilization of such claims data or information, provided that Sellers and their Affiliates (other than any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries) shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser’s efforts. If any Third Party requires the consent of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries) to the disclosure of such information, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 5.21. Deposits, Guarantees and Other Credit Support of the Business.

Following the Closing, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Designated Purchaser to, cooperate with the Sellers to procure the return and/or release by the applicable counterparty, as soon as reasonably practicable, of any lease security deposits given by the Sellers under any Leases that are Assigned Contracts or any deposits, bonds or other security posted in connection with Assigned Contracts (the “Security Deposits”), including where required by the applicable counterparty, offering to post such Security Deposits on terms and conditions no less favorable than offered to such Seller by such counterparty; provided, that neither the Purchaser nor any Designated Purchaser shall have any obligation under this

Section 5.21 if any of the Sellers shall be in breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.9(b) with respect to such Security Deposits or any portion thereof. Purchaser shall in no event be required to provide any replacement financial security or any financial security or other deposits with respect to any premises leased pursuant to a Sublease or leased pursuant to a Direct Lease, all of which shall be the sole responsibility of the Sellers.

Section 5.22. Use of Trademarks.

Except as expressly provided in the Trademark License Agreement, as of the Closing Date, neither the Purchaser nor any Designated Purchaser shall have the right to use the name “Nortel” or any other Trademarks owned by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates or any other Trademark employing the word “Nortel” or any confusingly similar Trademarks to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Sellers’ Trademarks”).

Section 5.23. Sellers’ Accessible Information; Cooperation.

(a) After the Closing, the Purchaser shall have the right to reasonably request from the Main Sellers copies of all books, records, files, documentation and sales literature in the possession or under control of the Sellers and held or used in the Business (other than Tax records or Employee Records where prohibited by applicable Law), to which the Purchaser in good faith determines it needs access for bona fide business or legal purposes. The Sellers shall, or cause their Respective Affiliates (other than any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries) to, provide such copies to the Purchaser (at the Purchaser’s expense) as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, that the Sellers shall be allowed to redact any such requested document in order to delete any information and data relating to business segments of any such Seller and its Respective Affiliates (other than any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries) not included in the Business; provided, further, that nothing herein shall (i) require the Sellers to disclose any information to the Purchaser if such information disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or legal privilege or (ii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which the Sellers or any of their Affiliates is a party); it being understood, that Sellers shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the Purchaser to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement).

(b) Purchaser and the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliate (except, in the case of Sellers, the EMEA Debtors), officers, employees, agents, auditors and other Representatives to reasonably cooperate in preparing and auditing, as applicable, at Purchaser’s expense, any financial statements that the Purchaser may request in connection with its future financing requirements, such financial statements to be compliant with any applicable regulations regarding financial statements of businesses acquired or to be acquired.

Section 5.24. Maintenance of Books and Records.

(a) After the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to, preserve, until at least the greater of the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date or as otherwise provided in Purchaser’s applicable document retention policies, all pre-Closing

Date records to the extent relating to the Business possessed or to be possessed by such Person. After the Closing Date and up until at least the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any reasonable advance notice and during regular business hours, the Purchaser shall, and/or shall cause the Person holding such records to, (a) provide to the Sellers or their Representatives reasonable access to such records during normal business hours and (b) permit the Sellers or their Representatives to make copies of such records; provided, however, that (A) any such access shall be conducted at Sellers’ expense, in accordance with Law (including any applicable Antitrust Law and Bankruptcy Law), under the supervision of the Purchaser’s personnel and in such a manner as to maintain confidentiality and not to interfere with the normal operations of the businesses of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, and (B) the Purchaser will not be required to provide to the Sellers access to or copies of any Employee Records where prohibited by applicable Laws.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Purchaser and the Sellers executed on or prior to the date hereof, the Purchaser shall not have any obligation to make available to the Sellers or its Representatives, or provide the Sellers or its Representatives with (i) any income Tax Return or any combined or consolidated Tax Return filed by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or predecessors, or any related material, or (ii) more generally, any information if making such information available would (A) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (B) potentially cause the Purchaser to be found in contravention of any applicable Law or contravene any fiduciary duty or agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party), it being understood that the Purchaser shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the Sellers to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement.

(c) In addition to the above, the Sellers shall have the right to retain, following the Closing, copies of any book, record, literature, list and any other written or recorded information constituting Business Information or any Employee Records to which the Sellers in good faith determine they are reasonably likely to need access for bona fide Tax, financial or legal purposes.

Section 5.25. Ancillary Agreements.

The Primary Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to promptly negotiate and finalize in good faith the Ancillary Agreements to which it is contemplated they will be parties (including the Real Estate Agreements, in accordance with and as provided by the terms of the Real Estate Agreements Term Sheet). The Sellers shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the parties to the license agreements referred to in Exhibit H to terminate and replace those license agreements as contemplated in Exhibit H on or before Closing, failing which the Sellers shall file a motion with the Canadian Court to have those license agreements terminated on Closing and shall take all steps necessary both before and after the Closing to have those license agreements terminated. If requested by the Joint Administrators, the Purchaser agrees that it will negotiate in good faith with the Joint Administrators the terms and conditions upon which the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser will supply the EMEA Debtors with services and products necessary to enable the EMEA Debtors to perform under their customer contracts existing at Closing.

Seller’s obligation to assume an Assumed and Subleased Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Subleased Real Estate Lease shall be conditioned upon receipt of consent to the related Sublease from the master landlord to the extent required by the terms of the related 365 Real Estate Lease or Non-365 Real Estate Lease (as applicable).

Section 5.27. Direct Leases.

For each of the properties owned in fee or ground leased by the Sellers identified on Section 5.27 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule or, in the case of the Carling Property, ground leased by Seller (collectively, the “Direct Lease Real Estate”) to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of the related ground lease (as applicable) and applicable Law, Purchaser agrees that the relevant Seller and Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser will enter into a lease in accordance with, and as provided by the Real Estate Agreements Term Sheet (each such lease, a “Direct Lease”). With respect to the Carling Property, Sellers’ obligation to enter into a Direct Lease shall be conditioned upon receipt of consent to such Direct Lease from the ground landlord under the related ground lease (to the extent required by the terms thereof).

Section 5.29. Hazardous Materials at the Carling Property.

(a) The Sellers acknowledge that the Purchaser and any Designated Purchaser did not cause or contribute to, and shall not be liable or responsible for, any currently or formerly existing Hazardous Materials contamination in, under, at, near or migrating from, to or through the Carling Property prior to or at the Closing Date.

(b) The Sellers that own and lease the Carling Property and the Purchaser agree that the relevant Seller and the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall include in the

License, Direct Lease or Sublease (as the case may be): (i) an acknowledgement that the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser did not cause or contribute to, and shall not be liable or responsible for, the currently or formerly existing Hazardous Materials contamination in, under, at, near or migrating from, to or through the Carling Property prior to or at the commencement of the License, Direct Lease or Sublease (as the case may be); (ii) an indemnity by the relevant Seller in favor of the Purchaser and any Designated Purchaser for (A) any Liabilities, including any Order, arising (directly or indirectly) out of or relating to any currently or formerly existing Hazardous Materials contamination in, under, at, near or migrating from, to or through the Carling Property prior to or at the commencement of the License, Direct Lease or Sublease (as the case may be) with respect to the Carling Property and (B) if and to the extent caused by Sellers, any Liabilities, including any Order, arising (directly or indirectly) out of or relating to any Hazardous Materials contamination in, under, at, near or migrating from, to or through the Carling Property; and (iii) an indemnity by the relevant Purchaser in favor of Sellers for, if and to the extent caused by the Purchaser, any Liabilities, if and to the extent caused by Purchaser, including any Order, arising (directly or indirectly) out of or relating to any Hazardous Materials contamination in, under, at, near or migrating from, to or through the Carling Property after the commencement of the License, Direct Lease or Sublease (as the case may be) with respect to the Carling Property.

Section 5.30. Transition Services Agreement

(a) The Parties acknowledge that Schedule 1 attached to the form of Transition Services Agreement contained in Exhibit Q (the “General Scope of Included Services”) reflects the general scope of services anticipated by the Parties to be provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, but may not be sufficiently refined to define all such services in detail. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, from and after the execution of this Agreement, they will negotiate in good faith to refine the description of the services included within the General Scope of Included Services so as to provide sufficient operational detail (as mutually agreed or as determined by arbitration in accordance with clause (d), the “Included Services”). The Parties agree that Included Services will be finally determined by such negotiation or by arbitration in accordance with this Section 5.30; provided that the Included Services will be consistent with, and will omit any services not reasonably within the service description categories contained in the General Scope of Included Services. The Parties further agree that such negotiation and arbitration will be subject to the following general limitations and conditions (the “Scope Guidelines”): (i) if and to the extent that employees of any Seller or Provider are Transferring Employees under this Agreement, then the human tasks formerly undertaken by such Transferring Employees will no longer be required to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement (but equipment, licenses and other resources not transferred shall, in accordance with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, continue to be made available as necessary to perform such tasks under the Transition Services Agreement as contemplated by this Section 5.30), and (ii) the Included Services will be limited to those reasonably necessary to carry on the Business after the Closing in a manner consistent with the operation of the Business during the twelve month period prior to the Closing Date (and will be limited to services provided internally by the applicable Seller, or sourced from a third party by the applicable Seller, during such period).

(b) If, between the time of execution of this Agreement and Closing, Purchaser identifies services not reasonably within the service description categories contained in the General Scope of Included Services which are reasonably advisable in order to assist with the orderly transition of the Business to Purchaser and which are consistent with the Scope Guidelines, then the Parties agree that such additional services (defined in operational detail as described herein) will be provided under the Transition Services Agreement, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts expeditiously to refine such additional services in operational (as mutually agreed or as determined by arbitration in accordance with clause (d), the “Type 1 Extra Services”). If, between the time of the execution of this Agreement and Closing, Purchaser identifies services not described within the General Scope of Included Services which are reasonably necessary to carry on the Business and which are not consistent with the Scope Guidelines, but which can reasonably be provided by the applicable Seller without hiring new employees and without materially changing or burdening the operations of such Seller, then the Parties agree that such additional services (defined in operational detail as described herein) will be provided under the Transition Services Agreement, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts expeditiously to define such additional services in operational detail (as mutually agreed or as determined by arbitration in accordance with clause (h), “Type 2 Extra Services,” together with Type 1 Extra Services, the “Extra Services”).

(c) It is the expectation of the Parties that the Included Services and any Extra Services will be specified in accordance with the mechanisms described in Sections 5.30(a) and 5.30(b) prior to the Closing. However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, finalization and mutual approval of the Included Services and the Extra Services shall not be a condition to, or delay, the Closing, or permit any Party to rescind or terminate this Agreement. In the event the Included Services and any Extra Services have not been finalized and mutually approved by the Closing Date, then the following will apply: (i) at Closing, the applicable parties will execute and deliver the Transition Services Agreement in the form of Exhibit Q, (ii) the Parties will continue to use good faith efforts after the Closing to finalize the Included Services and any Extra Services (subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section), (iii) pending such finalization, the Sellers will (a) provide Included Services (subject to the Scope Guidelines), and any Extra Services as are not in dispute in accordance with the pricing and other provisions of the Transition Services Agreement and (b) use reasonable efforts, with the cooperation of Purchaser, to provide such other services, subject to the Scope Guidelines, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser on an interim basis reasonably to support the Business in a manner materially consistent with the operation of the Business during the twelve months prior to the Closing Date (any such services provided to be in accordance with the pricing and other provisions of the Transition Services Agreement).

(d) If the Parties have not finalized the Included Services or the Extra Services forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, then any affected Party shall have the right but not the obligation to submit the associated disagreements to binding arbitration for resolution, which arbitration proceeding will be initiated by notice delivered by such Party (the “Complaining Party”) to the applicable counterparty, which notice shall specify the name of a person who shall serve as such Complaining Party’s arbitrator. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of such notice, the applicable counterparty (the “Responding Party”) shall notify the Complaining Party of such Responding Party’s choice of a person to act as an arbitrator (if such Responding Party

does not so notify the Complaining Party, then the arbitration shall be conducted by the Complaining Party’s arbitrator alone). If two arbitrators are so selected, they will attempt to resolve the matter within thirty (30) days, failing which they shall jointly appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be unaffiliated with any of the Parties (a “Qualified Arbitrator”), to serve as arbitrator. (If the two arbitrators are unable jointly to appoint a third arbitrator, such third arbitrator, who must be a Qualified Arbitrator, shall be appointed either by the American Arbitration Association or upon application to the Supreme Court for the State of New York sitting in New York County). Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in the English language by such three arbitrators (except as expressly provided above), and shall take place in New York City in accordance with the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. In rendering a decision, the arbitrators shall abide by the provisions of this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement (and in particular, the arbitrators shall be engaged and directed by the Parties to define the Included Services and any Extra Services in operational detail in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.30(a) and (b)). The decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be in writing, shall be final and conclusive on the Parties, and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to all of the Parties not later than sixty (60) days of initiation of the date of the submission of the associated disagreements to binding arbitration for resolution. Judgment may be had on the decision of the arbitrators so rendered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Purchaser shall bear the fees and expenses of the arbitrator it designates, the applicable Seller shall bear the fees and expenses of the arbitrator it designates, and the Purchaser and the applicable Seller shall equally share the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator.

(e) The Sellers and Purchaser shall respectively use all commercially reasonable efforts, and take all reasonable steps, to obtain the consents and approvals listed in Section 5.30(e) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, which such consents and approvals are required to enable the Providers to perform the Included Services in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement. The costs for obtaining such third-party consents will be shared equally by Purchaser and the applicable Seller; provided, that to the extent the aggregate of such costs exceeds $8 million, the Sellers shall bear all of such excess. The Parties will reasonably cooperate to mitigate such costs.

Section 5.31. Casualty.

At Closing the Sellers shall assign to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, any and all claims and proceeds the Sellers may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies with respect to any Assets which related to a casualty occurring after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing, and the Purchaser shall have the right to proceed against any insurance company to recover any such items and will have the right prior to the Closing to participate in all negotiations and discussions regarding the adjustment and settlement of any insurance claims with respect to any property or group of properties having a value in excess of $500,000. The Sellers shall promptly after learning of same notify Purchaser in writing of the occurrence of any casualty or similar event with respect to any of the Assets.

Section 5.32. Set-Off.

The Parties agree that in addition to any other remedy available, (i) the Purchaser and any Designated Purchaser will have the right, at any time and from time to time, with reasonable prior notice, to set-off any payment obligation (whether matured or unmatured) owed by a Seller to the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser, as applicable, that arises under any Ancillary Agreement (other than the Transition Services Agreement and the Real Estate Agreements) against any payment obligation owed by the Purchaser (or any Designated Purchaser) under the same or any other Ancillary Agreement (other than the Transition Services Agreement and the Real Estate Agreements) to the same Seller, and (ii) any Seller will have the right, at any time and from time to time, with reasonable prior notice, to set-off any payment obligation (whether matured or unmatured) owed by the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser, as applicable, to the Seller that arises under any Ancillary Agreement (other than the Transition Services Agreement and the Real Estate Agreements) against any payment obligation owed by the same Seller under the same or any other Ancillary Agreement (other than the Transition Services Agreement and the Real Estate Agreements) to the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser. Any such set-off will automatically satisfy and discharge the relevant obligation of the respective Persons; provided that, if an obligation exceeds the amount of the related set-off, such obligation will be novated and replaced by an obligation to pay the applicable Person only such excess. The currency of one obligation shall be converted into another currency at the then-current exchange rate prescribed by Section 1.2.4. Each Seller or Purchaser (or Designated Purchaser) that is a party to an Ancillary Agreement shall be jointly and severally liable with each other Seller or Purchaser (or Designated Purchaser), respectively, that is a party to an Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.33. Good Faith Deposit.

Subject to the U.S. Bidding Procedures Order, Sellers shall hold the Good Faith Deposit in escrow in a non-interest-bearing account maintained by the Sellers and the Good Faith Deposit shall not become property of the Sellers’ bankruptcy estates. Subject to the U.S. Bidding Procedures Order, the Sellers shall retain the Good Faith Deposit until the earlier to occur of (a) the Closing or (b) the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1. Transfer Taxes.

(a) The Parties agree that the Purchase Price is exclusive of any Transfer Taxes. The Purchaser shall (on behalf of itself and the Designated Purchasers) promptly pay directly to the appropriate Tax Authority all applicable Transfer Taxes that may be imposed upon or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or that may be imposed upon or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with the execution of any other Transaction Document; provided, that if any such Transfer Taxes are required to be collected, remitted or paid by a Seller or any Subsidiary, Affiliate, Representative or agent thereof, such Transfer Taxes shall be paid by the Purchaser to such Seller, Subsidiary, Affiliate, Representative or agent, as applicable, at the Closing or thereafter, as requested of or by the applicable Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall remain liable in respect of any Transfer Taxes regardless of the date that the Assets are removed from the premises of a Seller or any Seller’s supplier. All other Closing expenses will be paid by the Party incurring such expenses. Upon request from a Seller, the Purchaser shall provide to such Seller an original receipt (or such other evidence as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Seller) evidencing the payment of Transfer Taxes by the Purchaser to the applicable Tax Authority under this Section 6.1(a).

(b) If the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser wishes to claim any exemption relating to, or a reduced rate of, or make an election with the effect of reducing, Transfer Taxes, in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or in connection with the execution of any other Transaction Document, the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser, as the case may be, shall be solely responsible for ensuring that such exemption, reduction or election applies and, in that regard, shall provide the Sellers prior to Closing with its permit number, GST, VAT or other similar registration numbers and/or any appropriate certificate of exemption and/or other document or evidence to support the claimed entitlement to such exemption or reduction by the Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser, as the case may be. All Parties shall make reasonable efforts to cooperate to the extent necessary to obtain any such exemption or reduction.

(c) Provided that, in the opinion of the relevant Purchaser or Designated Purchaser, acting reasonably, the sale qualifies for such an election, the Purchaser and the relevant Designated Purchasers shall jointly execute with the applicable Seller(s) an election under section 167(1) of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and any equivalent election provided under provincial Laws, in the forms prescribed for such purposes, such that the sale of the Assets will take place without payment of any GST. The Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser, as the case may be, shall file within the prescribed filing period all forms

supporting such election with the relevant Tax Authority, together with its Tax Returns for the applicable reporting periods during which the sale of the Assets contemplated herein occurs and shall provide the Seller with a copy of such filed election. The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Sellers harmless with respect to any Tax, interest or penalties assessed against the Sellers as a result of making such election or the Purchaser’s or Designated Purchaser’s failure to timely file such an election.

Section 6.2. Tax Characterization of Payments Under This Agreement.

The Sellers and the Purchaser agree to treat all payments made either to or for the benefit of the other Party under this Agreement (other than payment of the Estimated Purchase Price and any interest payments) as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof to the extent permitted under applicable Tax Law.

Section 6.3. Apportionment of Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE VI, (i) the Sellers shall, and shall cause the other Sellers (to the extent such Sellers are their Subsidiaries), as the case may be, to bear all Taxes of any kind relating to the Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business for all Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and (ii) the Purchaser shall and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to bear all Taxes relating to the Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business for all Tax periods or portions thereof beginning after the Closing Date.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, any Taxes for a “Straddle Period” (a Tax period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date) shall be apportioned between the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers, on the other hand, based on the portion of the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the portion of the period beginning after the Closing Date, respectively. The amount of Taxes shall be allocated between portions of a Straddle Period in the following manner: (i) in the case of a Tax imposed in respect of property (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any income Tax) and that applies ratably to a Straddle Period, the amount of Tax allocable to a portion of the Straddle Period shall be the total amount of such Tax for the period in question multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in such portion of such Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of sales, value-added and similar transaction-based Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes allocated under Section 6.1), such Taxes shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period in which the relevant transaction occurred.

Section 6.4. Withholding Taxes.

The Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price such amounts as the Purchaser or Designated Purchasers, as the case may be, are required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent such amounts are so withheld by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, as the case may be, such

withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as having been paid to the relevant Seller in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by such Purchaser or Designated Purchaser. None of the Parties is aware of any obligation to deduct and withhold any amounts from the Purchase Price under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. If any of the Parties learns of any such obligation on or prior to the Closing Date, then (i) in the case of a Seller, such Seller shall promptly provide reasonable notice of such obligation to the Purchaser, and (ii) in the case of the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall promptly provide reasonable notice of such obligation to the Sellers. In the event that a Tax withholding obligation arises with respect to payment of the Purchase Price, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to minimize the amounts that the Purchaser or Designated Purchasers, as the case may be, are required to deduct and withhold.

Section 6.5. Records.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.23 or Section 5.24, but subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, (i) after the Closing Date, the Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, will make available to the other, as reasonably requested, and to any Tax Authority, all information, records or documents relating to liability for Taxes with respect to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, or the Business for all periods prior to or including the Closing Date (including Straddle Periods), and will preserve such information, records or documents until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof, and (ii) in the event that one party needs access to records in the possession of a second party relating to any of the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business for purposes of preparing Tax Returns or complying with any Tax audit request, subpoena or other investigative demand by any Tax Authority, or for any other legitimate Tax-related purpose not injurious to the second party, the second party will allow Representatives of the other party access to such records during regular business hours at the second party’s place of business for the sole purpose of obtaining information for use as aforesaid and will permit such other party to make extracts and copies thereof as may be necessary or convenient. The obligation to cooperate pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall terminate at the time the relevant applicable statute of limitations expires (giving effect to any extension thereof).

(b) On or prior to Closing, the Sellers shall cause copies of Restricted Technical Records to be placed into escrow with the Records Custodian, who shall hold such Restricted Technical Records for ten (10) years in accordance with an escrow agreement between the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Records Custodian, in form satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Main Sellers. The escrow agreement will provide for access to the copies of the Restricted Technical Records only by the relevant Canadian Tax Authority or by Tax advisors of any purchaser (“Tax Credit Purchaser”) of the scientific research and experimental development tax credits of the Sellers under the Income Tax Act (Canada), and only if such advisors have executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement in form satisfactory to the Purchaser. The access permitted by the escrow agreement shall be only for the limited purpose of defending any audit, claim or action by any Canadian Tax Authority in respect of the characterization of expenditures by NNL or Nortel Networks Technology Corporation (“NNTC”) as qualified expenditures on scientific research and experimental development for

purposes of the applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (“Qualified Expenditures”).

(c) The Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to make available to the relevant Tax Authority or Tax advisors of the Tax Credit Purchaser, those former employees of NNL or NNTC, as the case may be, with direct knowledge of the Qualified Expenditures who are then employed by the Purchaser and whose cooperation is necessary for the purpose of defending any audit, claim or action by any Tax Authority of the characterization of expenditures by NNL or NNTC, as the case may be, as Qualified Expenditures, and provided such advisors have executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement satisfactory to the Purchaser.

(d) The Purchaser shall have no obligation to provide any access under this provision unless the Seller (if there is no Tax Credit Purchaser in respect of the request for access) or the Tax Credit Purchaser pays all the Purchaser’s reasonable expenses in connection with the foregoing provisions, including a reasonable per diem rate for access to former employees of NNL or NNTC, as the case may be (based on the total compensation of the employee at the time access is provided).

(e) At the request of the Purchaser, the Sellers shall provide reasonable access to records and employees of the Sellers to assist the Purchaser in claiming any future scientific research and experimental development Tax credits for Qualified Expenditures.

(f) The Sellers shall have no obligation to provide any access under this provision unless the Purchaser pays all of the Sellers’ reasonable expenses in connection with the foregoing provisions, including a reasonable per diem rate for access to employees of the Sellers (based on the total compensation of the employee at the time access is provided).

Section 6.6. Tax Returns.

(a) The Sellers shall be responsible for the preparation and timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant Tax Authorities) of all Tax Returns in respect of the Assets or the Business, for all Pre-Closing Taxable Periods (other than any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes (“Transfer Tax Returns”) described below in Section 6.6(b)). Such Tax Returns shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Taxes indicated as due and payable on such Tax Returns shall be paid by (or shall be caused to be paid by) Sellers as and when required by Law.

(b) Each Transfer Tax Return with respect to Transfer Taxes imposed in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein or in respect of the execution of any other Transaction Document shall be prepared by the Party that customarily has primary responsibility for filing such Transfer Tax Return pursuant to the applicable Tax Laws. Any Transfer Tax Returns prepared by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.6(b) shall be made available to the Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days before such Tax Returns are due to be filed. The Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers any amount of Transfer Taxes payable in respect of Transfer Tax Returns to be filed by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.6(b) at least five (5) Business Days before such Transfer Tax becomes due and payable.

(c) The Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall be responsible for the preparation and timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant Tax Authorities) of all Tax Returns with respect to the Assets or the Business for all Straddle Periods. Such Tax Returns shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes indicated as due and payable on such Tax Returns shall be paid by (or shall be caused to be paid by) the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser as and when required by Law.

(d) The Sellers shall be entitled to review and comment on any Tax Return (other than a Transfer Tax Return described in Section 6.6(b)) prepared by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser for any Straddle Period before any such Tax Return is filed. The Purchaser shall submit a draft of any such Tax Return to the Main Sellers at least thirty (30) days before the date such Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Tax Authority. The Main Sellers shall have ten (10) days after the date of receipt thereof to submit to the Purchaser, in writing, the Main Sellers’ written comments with respect to such Tax Return. The Purchaser shall notify the Main Sellers within five (5) days after receipt of such comments of (a) the extent, if any, to which the Purchaser accepts such comments and will file such Tax Return in accordance therewith and (b) the extent, if any, to which the Purchaser rejects such comments. To the extent the Purchaser rejects the comments of the Main Sellers, the Purchaser and the Main Sellers promptly shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their disagreements; if no agreement has been reached within five (5) days, the Parties immediately shall appoint an Independent Auditor to determine the correct manner for reporting the items that are in dispute and shall provide to the Independent Auditor all relevant information. The Independent Auditor shall have ten (10) days to submit its determination, which shall be binding upon the Parties, and the Purchaser shall file such Tax Return in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Independent Auditor shall not have submitted its determination on or before the date such Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Tax Authority (giving effect to any valid extensions), the Purchaser shall file its original draft of such Tax Return and shall, upon receiving the Independent Auditor’s later determination and to the extent permitted under applicable Law, promptly file an amended return in accordance therewith. The fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be paid by the Party whose position is deemed to be least correct by the Independent Auditor.

(e) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this ARTICLE VI, each Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of its liability for Taxes shown to be due on any Tax Return for a Straddle Period at least three (3) Business Days prior to the due date thereof, giving effect to valid extensions; provided, however, that (i) if such Seller and the Purchaser are unable to agree as to the amount of such liability prior to such due date, such Seller shall pay to the Purchaser such amount as it in good faith believes that it owes, and (ii) to the extent the Independent Auditor determines that the amount of such liability is greater than the amount actually paid to the Purchaser prior to such due date, such Seller shall pay to the Purchaser such excess within three (3) Business Days after receiving the Independent Auditor’s determination.

(f) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this ARTICLE VI, the Sellers shall not be entitled to any Tax-related information, including any Tax Return, that includes assets or operations of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in addition to the Assets; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall provide the Sellers with a copy of a pro forma Tax Return relating solely to the Assets for any Straddle Period.

Section 6.7. Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties shall (i) allocate to the tangible Assets a portion of the Purchase Price equal to the net book value of such Assets as of the Closing Date, and (ii) allocate to the intangible Assets the balance of the Purchase Price.

(b) To the extent necessary to file Transfer Tax Returns, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine an allocation of the Purchase Price (and, to the extent properly taken into account under the applicable Tax Laws, the Assumed Liabilities) among the Assets in accordance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and other applicable Tax Laws, which allocation shall be subject to the principles of Section 6.7(a) (such allocation, a “Partial Allocation”). If the Parties do not reach agreement on a Partial Allocation after negotiating in good faith, the Partial Allocation shall be submitted to the Independent Auditor, which shall prepare a final Partial Allocation; provided, however, that if a different Partial Allocation is required by a Government Entity (including as a result of the Bankruptcy Proceedings), then the Partial Allocation shall be modified as necessary to be consistent with the required allocation but in all cases shall be subject to the principles of Section 6.7(a). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Parties have not reached agreement on the Partial Allocation and the Independent Auditor has not submitted its determination on or before the date that a Transfer Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Tax Authority (giving effect to any valid extensions) pursuant to Section 6.6(b), then such Tax Return shall be timely filed in the manner that the Party with primary responsibility for filing such return reasonably determines and shall, upon receiving the Independent Auditor’s later determination and to the extent permitted under applicable Law, promptly file an amended return in accordance therewith. The Parties agree (i) to be bound by the final Partial Allocation accepted by the Parties or prepared by the Independent Auditor (as modified to be consistent with the allocation required by a Government Entity, as described above), as applicable, and (ii) to act in accordance with the allocations contained in such final Partial Allocation for all purposes relating to Transfer Taxes, including the preparation, filing and audit of any Transfer Tax Returns.

ARTICLE VII

EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

Section 7.1. Employment Terms.

(a) Immediately following the completion of the Auction, but in any event prior to Closing (or otherwise in accordance with applicable Law), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause a Designated Purchaser to, extend a written offer of employment to the Employees as set forth on Section 7.1 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, such offer being contingent (x) in each case, in the discretion of the Purchaser, on such Employee passing a background check and, if such Employee is located in the United States, drug screening, in all cases, to the extent permitted and consistent with applicable Law and (y) in the case of Inactive Employees, upon

their return to active status (other than Employees set forth on Section 7.1 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule whose employment transfers automatically by operation of Law to the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser. The Sellers shall have the right to review any offer of employment made pursuant to this Section 7.1 prior to it being sent to any Employee. Such offer of employment shall provide for an employee consideration period of at least one week, or such longer period as required by applicable Law. Such offers (and, with respect to Employees whose employment transfers by operation of Law, such continued employment) shall be consistent with the requirements of applicable Law and on terms and conditions no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those the Employees currently have, but subject to certain adjustments to conform to the Purchaser’s standard employment policies where legally possible. The Sellers shall provide the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser with such additional information as the Purchaser may reasonably require in order to comply with its obligations under this ARTICLE VII. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as a condition to the transfer of employment (except as prohibited by applicable Law) the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser may require Employees to provide evidence they are legally permitted to be employed by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, as required by applicable Law. Any Employee who accepts such offer of employment and commences employment with the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, and any Employees whose employment transfers by operation of Law, shall be deemed to be a Transferring Employee for all purposes of this Agreement, effective as of the Employee Transfer Date.

(b) For the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date (or for such shorter period as a Transferring Employee remains employed by Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser), such Transferring Employee, subject to applicable Law, shall be employed on terms and conditions of employment not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, than the terms and conditions of employment provided to such Employees immediately prior to the Closing, subject, following the Employee Transfer Date, to certain adjustments to conform to the Purchaser’s standard employment policies where legally possible; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of the Transferring Employee Agreement, neither this Section 7.1 nor Section 7.2 restricts the right of the Sellers, the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to terminate the employment of any Transferring Employee after the Closing; provided, further, that, following the Employee Transfer Date, except as provided in Section 7.2(c), nothing shall prohibit the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser from amending or terminating, in whole or in part, any Purchaser Employee Plan or from making changes to such terms and conditions of employment that are generally applicable and broadly based across the Purchaser’s or Designated Purchaser’s employee population; and provided, further, that for purposes of clarity the Purchaser shall not be required to offer in any offer made pursuant to this ARTICLE VII any (i) equity, (ii) retiree medical or other retiree welfare arrangement or (iii) defined benefit pension plan, in each case, unless required by applicable Law.

(c) The Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts from the date hereof until the expiration of the Transferring Employee Agreement with respect to Visa Employees to obtain, at its cost, such visas or permits as are required for it to employ Visa Employees.

Section 7.2. Employee Benefits.

(a) The Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser shall, and shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, recognize the service date of each Transferring Employee as set out in the Employee Information for all purposes other than benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan and except as would result in a duplication of benefits.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, provide the following benefits to Transferring Employees:

(i) The Sellers shall: (x) with respect to each Transferring Employee located in the United States and Mexico, pay to such Transferring Employee upon his or her Employee Transfer Date the amount of compensation with respect to the unused vacation days that is due and owing to such Transferring Employee, up to his or her Employee Transfer Date; and (y) with respect to each Transferring Employee located in Canada, pay to such Transferring Employee upon his or her Employee Transfer Date the amount of compensation with respect to the accrued and unused vacation days that is due and owing to such Transferring Employee up to his or her Employee Transfer Date (other than the Accrued Vacation Amount accrued and unused by such Transferring Employee in the year in which the Employee Transfer Date occurs); in each case by the date required under applicable Law in exchange for, with respect only to those Transferring Employees located in Canada, an acknowledgement and consent by each such Employee that he or she has received full compensation from the Sellers for such accrued and unused vacation days and has no entitlement to the vacation time associated therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 7.2(b)(i) shall be construed to amend or modify any provision in the Transferring Employee Agreement providing for any payment or transfer of paid vacation days with respect to Transferring Employees’ vacation time associated with the period between the Closing Date and the Employee Transfer Date.

(ii) Section 7.2(b)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule sets forth the amount of the Accrued Vacation Amount that is due and owing to each Transferring Employee as of the date hereof and updated by the Sellers as of the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to, grant each Transferring Employee located in Canada or China paid time off in an amount equal to the accrued unused vacation days for such Transferring Employee that are not paid upon the Employee Transfer Date pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i)(y). If such Transferring Employee terminates employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser prior to receiving such paid time off, as described above, the Purchaser shall pay such Transferring Employee an amount equal to any such unused paid time off upon such employment termination.

(iii) With respect to each Transferring Employee (and their eligible dependents, as applicable), the Purchaser or the relevant Purchaser’s Affiliates shall cause the Purchaser Employee Plans to (i) waive any eligibility periods, evidence of insurability or pre-existing condition limitations to the extent such limitations no longer apply to such Transferring Employees under the comparable Seller Employee Plan and (ii) honor any deductibles, co-payments, co-insurance or out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by such employees, including with respect to their dependents, under

comparable Seller Employee Plans during the Purchaser Employee Plan year in which the relevant Employment Transfer Date occurs; provided, that such employee provides an explanation of benefits or similar documentation of such expenses paid or incurred to the Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(c) As of the Closing Date, the Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser shall establish or otherwise provide a registered pension plan for Transferring Employees employed in Canada and maintain such plan for a period of at least five (5) years following the Closing Date and each such Transferring Employee’s participation shall commence on such Transferring Employee’s Employee Transfer Date.

(d) The Sellers shall be solely responsible for any required notice under the WARN Act with respect to terminations of employment of Employees that occur on or prior to the Closing Date provided that Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser, as applicable, has satisfied their obligations set out in Section 7.1. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any required notice under the WARN Act with respect to terminations of employment of Transferring Employees that occur on or after the Closing Date.

Section 7.3. Other Employee Covenants.

(a) After the date hereof, and subject to each Party’s disclosure obligations imposed by Law or by Government Entities and each Party’s obligations hereunder, neither the Purchaser, the Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates shall issue any announcement or communication to their respective employees or the Employees, prior to consultation with, and the approval of, the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. If requested, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in respect of the development and distribution of any announcement and communication to the employees of the Sellers, including Employees, with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Prior to the Employee Transfer Date (for Transferring Employees) and before and after the Closing Date for all other Employees, the Purchaser undertakes to keep the Employee Information in confidence including taking the following actions:

(i) the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to, restrict the disclosure of the Employee Information only to such of its employees, agents and advisors as is reasonably necessary for the purposes of complying with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii) the Employee Information shall not be disclosed to any Person other than those set forth in Section 7.3(b)(i) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other employee of the Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser or other Affiliate of the Purchaser) without the consent of the Main Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld;

(iii) the Employee Information shall not be used except for the purposes of complying with the obligations of the Purchaser and the Designated

Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement and shall be returned to the Sellers or destroyed, at the Sellers’ election, if this Agreement is terminated; and

(iv) the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to, comply with such additional obligations as may be reasonably required in any particular jurisdiction to comply with any applicable data privacy Laws.

(c) Within fourteen (14) days following the Employee Transfer Date, except to the extent prohibited by applicable data privacy Laws and subject to consent by such Employee in his or her written offer of employment, or as otherwise required by Law, the Sellers shall provide the Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser with the Employee Records (or a copy thereof).

(d) During the Non-Solicitation Period, the Sellers shall not, without the advance written consent of Purchaser, either directly or indirectly solicit for employment or hire any Transferring Employee unless the employment of such Transferring Employee is involuntarily terminated without cause by the Purchaser or Designated Purchaser prior to such action by the Sellers (other than any termination in connection with such Transferring Employee seeking employment with Sellers); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.3(d) shall prevent the Sellers from (i) employing the Transferring Employees pursuant to the terms of the Transferring Employee Agreement, (ii) conducting generalized employment searches, including placing bona fide public advertisements, that are not specifically targeted at such Transferring Employees or (iii) hiring such Transferring Employees identified through such employment searches.

(e) During the Non-Solicitation Period, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers not to, either directly or indirectly solicit for employment or hire any employee of the Sellers who is not an Employee unless (i) the employment of such employee is involuntarily terminated without cause by the Seller prior to such action by the Purchaser or Designated Purchasers (other than any termination in connection with such employee seeking employment with Purchaser or Designated Purchasers), or (ii) otherwise permitted by the Transition Services Agreement.

(f) During the Non-Solicitation Period, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers not to, either directly or indirectly solicit for employment or hire any Employee who has rejected an offer of employment from the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, or to whom the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser did not make an offer of employment pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that this Section 7.3(f) shall not apply if the Purchaser gives the Sellers prior notice of such solicitation or hire and such employee, if applicable, returns to the Sellers any severance payments paid by the Sellers to such employee and, if applicable, releases the Sellers from any right to severance payments.

(g) During the Non-Solicitation Period, neither Party shall, except as specifically set out in this Agreement or without the other Parties’ written consent or as expressly permitted by this Agreement, either directly or indirectly solicit for employment or hire any of the employees with whom the Party has had personal contact, or who became known to the Party in the course of its negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that nothing in

this Section 7.3(g) shall restrict or preclude the Party, without such consent, from employing any employee Party who (x) contacts such Party directly at his or her own initiative without any direct or indirect solicitation by or encouragement from such party, (y) responds to a mass media solicitation or advertisement consistent with such Party’s past practices, as applicable, that is not directed at the employees, or (z) is contacted by a third party executive search firm or employment agency, so long the Party did not provide guidance as to such employee to the third party firm or agency.

Section 7.4. Excluded Employee Liabilities.

None of the Purchaser or the Designated Purchasers shall assume or be deemed to have assumed any Liabilities of the Sellers or their Affiliates relating to Employees other than the Assumed Liabilities (the “Excluded Employee Liabilities”). The Excluded Employee Liabilities shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

(d) Liabilities resulting from any Action (i) with respect to any Employee relating to his/her employment or termination of employment with any of the Sellers, or (ii) with respect to an applicant with respect to potential employment with any of the Sellers in the Business; and

(e) any Liabilities relating to the Employees or any former employees employed in the Business by the Sellers (with respect only to such employee’s employment with the Sellers), including payments or entitlements that Sellers or any of their Affiliates may owe or have promised to pay to any current or former Employee (whether or not becoming a Transferring Employee prior to or in connection with the Closing, (including any Employee who does not accept an offer of employment with the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser)), including wages, other remuneration, holiday, bonus, severance pay (statutory or otherwise), commission, post-employment medical or life obligations, pension contributions or benefits, Taxes, ERISA Affiliate Liability, any obligation, liability or expense relating to any employment agreement or contract, any former Collective Labor Agreement, the employment practices of Sellers or any of their Affiliates prior to the Closing Date and any other liability, payment or obligations related to current or former Employees, including any WARN Act Liabilities relating to actions of the Sellers arising on or prior to the Closing Date, any workers compensation, labor,

Section 7.5. Sole Benefit of Sellers and Purchaser.

The terms and provisions of this ARTICLE VII are for the sole benefit of the Sellers and the Purchaser.

(ii) if the Closing does not take place by September 30, 2009 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that if the Closing does not take place by the Termination Date solely due to the condition set forth in Section 8.1(a) not being fulfilled, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended to October 31, 2009;

provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to the Party seeking to terminate if such Party or one of its Affiliates is then in breach of this Agreement and such breach has been the cause of, or has resulted in, the event or condition giving rise to a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b).

(c) by the Purchaser if any of the Sellers withdraw or seek authority to withdraw the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order Motion or the U.S. Bidding Procedures and Sale Motion, or publicly announce any stand alone plan of reorganization or liquidation (or support any such plan filed by any other Person) in respect of the Business;

(d) by the Purchaser in the event of a material breach by the Sellers of the Sellers’ representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement, which breach would result in a failure to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1(a), Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), as applicable, and, in each case, which, if capable of being cured, is not cured within ten (10) days (or such lesser number of days remaining prior to the Termination Date) from receipt of a written notice from the Purchaser; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available to the Purchaser where a breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser has been the cause of, or has resulted in, the event or condition giving rise to a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such clause;

(e) by the Main Sellers in the event of a material breach by the Purchaser of the Purchaser’s representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement, which breach would result in a failure to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.2 of this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) shall not be available to the Main Sellers where a breach of this Agreement by any of the Sellers has been the cause of, or has resulted in, the event or condition giving rise to a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such clause; or

(f) by the Purchaser in the event the Sellers fail to consummate the Closing in breach of Section 2.3, within five (5) Business Days of written demand by the Purchaser to consummate the Closing.

Section 9.2. Effects of Termination.

(b) except as required by applicable Law, the Purchaser shall return to the Sellers or destroy all documents, work papers and other material of any of the Sellers relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof; and

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1. No Survival of Representations and Warranties or Covenants.

No representations or warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive beyond the Closing Date, except for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms.

Section 10.2. Remedies.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement by any Party will operate as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, remedy, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 10.3. No Third Party Beneficiaries.

Except for any acknowledgments, rights, undertakings, representations or warranties expressed to be for the benefit of the EMEA Debtors or the Joint Administrators, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.4. Consent to Amendments; Waivers.

No Party shall be deemed to have waived any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents unless such waiver is in writing, and then such waiver shall be limited to the circumstances set forth in such written waiver. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not be amended, altered or qualified except by an instrument in writing signed by all the parties hereto or thereto, as the case may be.

Section 10.5. Successors and Assigns.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements by or on behalf of the parties hereto or thereto will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the Main Sellers in case of an assignment by Purchaser or Purchaser in case of an assignment by any Seller, which consent may be withheld in such party’s sole discretion, except for the following assignment which shall not require consent (i) assignment to an Affiliate of a Party (provided (A) that such Party remains liable jointly and severally with its assignee Affiliate for the assigned obligations to the other Parties and (B) any such assignment by Purchaser complies with Section 2.4 if applicable), (ii) assignment by a U.S. Debtor to a succeeding entity following such U.S. Debtor’s emergence from Chapter 11, and (iii) assignment by any of the Canadian Debtors pursuant to any plan of arrangement approved by the Canadian Court, which will not require the consent of the Purchaser.

Section 10.6. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Any questions, claims, disputes, remedies or Actions arising from or related to this Agreement, and any relief or remedies sought by any Parties, shall be governed exclusively by the Laws of the State of New York applicable to Contracts made and to be performed in that State and without regard to the rules of conflict of laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party: (i) agrees that any claim, Action, proceeding by such Party seeking any relief whatsoever arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought only in (a) either the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, if brought prior to the entry of a final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases, or the Canadian Court, if brought prior to the termination of the CCAA Cases, provided that if (X) a final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases has not been entered and (Y) the CCAA Cases have not terminated, the U.S. Debtors or the Canadian Debtors may, in accordance with the Cross-Border Protocol, request that the Bankruptcy Court or the Canadian Court, as case may be, to hold a joint hearing of the Bankruptcy Court and the Canadian Court to determine the appropriate jurisdiction for such claim, Action or proceeding, and (b) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, if brought after entry of a final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases and termination of the CCAA Cases, and shall not be brought, in each case, in any other court in the United States of America, Canada or any court in any other country; (ii) agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the Canadian Court, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York and the Canadian Court, as applicable, pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) and (b) for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) waives and agrees not to assert any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of such Action brought in any such court or any claim that any such Action brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum;

(iv) agrees that the mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10.7 or any other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof; and (v) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

(c) Section 10.6(b) shall not limit the jurisdiction of the Accounting Arbitrator set forth in Section 2.2.3.1(c) and 5.30, although claims may be asserted in the courts referred to in Section 10.6(b) for purposes of enforcing the jurisdiction and judgments of the Accounting Arbitrator.

(d) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.6.

Any such demand, notice, communication or report shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to this Agreement when delivered personally, when confirmed if by facsimile transmission, or on the second calendar day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier service, as applicable.

Section 10.8. Exhibits; Sellers Disclosure Schedule.

(a) The Sellers Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits attached hereto constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.

(b) The inclusion of any information in any section of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule or other document delivered by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

Section 10.9. Counterparts.

The Parties may execute this Agreement in two or more counterparts (no one of which need contain the signatures of all Parties), each of which will be an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterparty of this Agreement

Section 10.10. No Presumption; Mutual Drafting.

The parties hereto are sophisticated and have been represented by lawyers who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not intend that the presumptions of any Laws relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement and therefore waive the effects of such Laws.

Section 10.11. Severability.

If any provision, clause, or part of this Agreement, or the application thereof under certain circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in any jurisdiction, (i) as to such jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision, clause or part under other circumstances, and (ii) as for any other jurisdiction, all provisions of this Agreement, shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect, unless, in each case, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in such jurisdiction materially impairs the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon such determination that any clause or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in such jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible even in such jurisdiction.

Section 10.12. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement set forth the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter thereof, and all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, whether written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and

100

the Confidentiality Agreement, and all such prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties are hereby terminated. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict between this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents or the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail, regardless of the fact that certain other Transaction Documents, such as the Local Sale Agreements (if any), may be subject to different governing Laws.

Section 10.13. Availability of Equitable Relief.

The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief to prevent or remedy breaches of this Agreement, without the proof of actual damages, calculation of which the Parties agree would be uncertain and difficult to ascertain, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions or orders for specific performance in respect of such breaches.

Section 10.14. Bulk Sales Laws.

Subject to the entry of the U.S. Sale Order and the Canadian Approval and Vesting Order, each Party waives compliance by the other Party with any applicable bulk sales Law.

Section 10.15. Main Sellers as Representatives of Other Sellers.

(a) For all purposes of this Agreement:

(i) each Other Seller listed in Section 10.15(a)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule hereby irrevocably appoints NNC as its representative;

(ii) each Other Seller listed in Section 10.15(a)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule hereby irrevocably appoints NNL as its representative; and

(iii) each Other Seller listed in Section 10.15(a)(iii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule hereby irrevocably appoints NNI as its representative.

(b) Pursuant to Section 10.15(a), each of NNC, NNL and NNI shall expressly have the power to, in the name and on behalf of each of its Respective Affiliates (as defined below), (i) take all decisions and carry out any actions required or desirable in connection with this Agreement, (ii) send and receive all notices and other communications required or permitted hereby, and (iii) consent to any amendment, waivers and modifications hereof.

(c) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Respective Affiliates” means: (i) with respect to NNC, each Other Seller listed in Section 10.15(a)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule; (ii) with respect to NNL, each Other Seller listed in Section 10.15(a)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, and (iii) with respect to NNI, all the other U.S. Debtors and each Other Seller listed in Section 10.15(a)(iii) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, but in all cases other than any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries.

101

(d) Each Respective Affiliate shall indemnify the Main Seller that acts as representative of such Respective Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.15(d) for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such Main Seller without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, for serving in the capacity of representative of such Respective Affiliate hereunder.

Section 10.16. Execution by Other Sellers.

The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Other Sellers are not executing this Agreement as of the date hereof. This Agreement shall be binding on all parties that have executed this Agreement from the time of such execution, regardless of whether all Sellers have done so. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Main Sellers hereby agree that they shall cause each Other Seller to execute a counterpart to this Agreement no later than the day prior to the Closing Date, agreeing to be bound as a Seller under this Agreement and authorizing NNC, NNL or NNI, as applicable, to act as its representative under Section 10.15 hereof.

Section 10.17. Obligations of the Sellers.

When references are made in this Agreement to certain Sellers causing other Sellers or other Affiliate(s) to undertake (or to not undertake) certain actions, or agreements are being made on behalf of certain other Sellers or other Affiliates, “Sellers” for purposes of such clause shall be deemed to mean, respectively, NNI (in the case of a U.S. Debtor) and NNL (in the case of a Canadian Debtor other than NNC and a Non-Debtor Seller) and Affiliates of any Sellers shall in no event include any EMEA Debtors or their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 10.18. Limitation on Losses.

Except as provided in Section 5.32 or except in the case of a Liability arising from a cash payment obligation due to a party in respect of which the party seeking set-off has received a final judgment in an Action or Proceeding in accordance with Section 10.6, no party shall be entitled to set-off any Liabilities or Losses under this Agreement against any amounts due to such party under any other agreement with the other parties or any Affiliate thereof. In no event shall any party be responsible or liable for any Losses that are consequential, in the nature of lost profits, diminution in the value of property, special or punitive or otherwise not actual damages.
