The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the statements of Estimated Closing Capital Expenditures shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of the 1999 Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 6.5(a) hereof) and the related statements of operations and cash flows and shall take into account all actions taken or required to be taken by Seller or Parent on or prior to the Closing on the Closing Date, but without regard to actions taken by Buyer after the Closing on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Working Capital” means an amount equal to the difference (positive or negative) between (i) the Company’s current assets (which for purposes of this Agreement shall consist of sundry receivables, inventory and other current assets (but excluding, cash, cash equivalents and short term investments, foreign exchange contracts, finished goods inventories and inventories which have been consigned to the Company)) and (ii) the Company’s current liabilities (which for purposes of this Agreement shall consist of trade accounts payable, book (cash) overdrafts, accrued personnel expenses and other accrued expenses (but excluding any foreign exchange contracts)), all as determined in accordance with GAAP. Schedule 2.3 lists the components of Working Capital, it being agreed that in the event of any inconsistency between such schedule and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail. In no event will any determination of Working Capital include any asset or any liability for Taxes (which shall be paid or otherwise disposed of pursuant to Section 11.4), any asset or liability related to any Excluded Contract, any asset or liability related to the Chinese Subsidiaries, third party Indebtedness for Borrowed Money (which shall be repaid pursuant to Section 2.1) or intercompany accounts, which shall either be eliminated or canceled pursuant to Section 2.5. For purposes of this Section 2.3, capital expenditures will not include any lease termination payments or charges described in clause (iv) of the definition of Indebtedness for Borrowed Money. In making any computations pursuant to this Section 2.3, all proper accounting entries will be taken into account, all known errors and omissions will be corrected and all known proper adjustments will be made.
(b) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Seller: (i) an audited balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Closing Balance Sheet”), which Closing Balance Sheet will reflect actual Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Closing Working
-6-
Capital”) and (ii) an audited statement of capital expenditures made by the Company for the period beginning July 3, 1999 and ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Actual Capital Expenditures”). The Closing Balance Sheet and the statement of Actual Capital Expenditures are collectively referred to as the “Closing Financial Statements.” The Closing Financial Statements shall be audited by a PriceWaterhouseCoopers engagement team selected by Buyer and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of the 1999 Balance Sheet and the related statements of operations and cash flows. Seller shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to engage another international firm of independent public accountants to review the PriceWaterhouseCoopers workpapers prepared in connection with the audited Closing Financial Statements, so long as (i) such review does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of Buyer or the Company and (ii) Seller and its independent public accountants enter into a customary indemnification agreement with PriceWaterhouseCoopers with respect to any such workpaper review.
(c) At the Initial Working Capital Adjustment Date, (i) if Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than an amount equal to (A) the average month- end Working Capital for the period commencing on December 31, 1999 and ending on the Closing Date (assuming, for purposes hereof, that each of December 31, 1999 and the Closing Date is the end of a month) minus (B) $100,000 (the “Low-End Target”), then Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of such deficiency and (ii) if Estimated Closing Working Capital is greater than an amount equal to (A) the average month-end Working Capital for the period commencing on December 31, 1999 and ending on the Closing Date (assuming, for purposes hereof, that each of December 31, 1999 and the Closing Date is the end of a month) plus (B) $100,000 (the “High-End Target”), then Buyer shall pay Seller the amount of such excess. The dollar amount between the High-End Target and the Low-End Target is referred to herein as the “Relevant Range.” In addition, at the Initial Working Capital Adjustment Date, if Estimated Closing Capital Expenditures are less than the annualized agreed upon targeted spending amount of $15.1 million USD (prorated on a weekly basis for the period beginning July 3, 1999 and ending on the Closing Date), then Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of such shortfall (the “CAPEX Shortfall”).
(d) Promptly following the determination of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital and the amount of Actual Capital Expenditures, the consideration paid pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be adjusted as follows and payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be made by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, not later than five (5) business days following such determination:
(i) if Closing Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Working Capital, then Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of such shortfall, excluding the extent of the dollar amount of such shortfall, if any, attributable to the Relevant Range;
(ii) if Closing Working Capital is greater than Estimated Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay Seller the amount of such excess, excluding the extent of the dollar amount of such excess, if any, attributable to the Relevant Range;
-7-
(iii) if Actual Capital Expenditures are less than Estimated Closing Capital Expenditures, then Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of such shortfall; and
(iv) if Actual Capital Expenditures are greater than Estimated Closing Capital Expenditures, then Buyer shall pay Seller the lesser of (A) the amount of such excess or (B) the CAPEX Shortfall.
(e) The Closing Financial Statements (including the amount of Closing Working Capital and the amount of Actual Capital Expenditures) shall become final and binding upon each of the parties hereto unless Seller gives written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer within 30 days following receipt by Seller of the Closing Financial Statements. Any such Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any such disagreement so asserted. Buyer shall have 30 days following its receipt of the Notice of Disagreement to review the Notice of Disagreement and to give notice of any disagreement therewith (the “Counter-Notice of Disagreement”) to Seller. If Buyer does not give a Counter-Notice of Disagreement within such 30 day period, the Closing Financial Statements (including the amount of Closing Working Capital and the amount of Actual Capital Expenditures) shall be adjusted as set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, and, as so adjusted, shall be final and binding upon all parties. If Buyer gives timely Counter-Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve their disagreements. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the Closing Financial Statements or the amount of Closing Working Capital or the amount of Actual Capital Expenditures within 20 days following Buyer’s delivery to Seller of a Counter-Notice of Disagreement, they shall refer their remaining differences to the U.S. national office of an internationally recognized firm of independent accountants mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller (the “CPA Firm”), which shall, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, determine, and only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether, and to what extent, if any, the Closing Financial Statements or the amount of Closing Working Capital or Actual Capital Expenditures requires adjustment. The parties shall direct the CPA Firm to use its best efforts to render its determination within 30 days after the submission of any such dispute to the CPA Firm. The CPA Firm’s determination of the Closing Financial Statements (including the amount of Closing Working Capital and the amount of Actual Capital Expenditures) shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the parties. The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the remaining disputed items so submitted to the CPA Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each party as finally determined by the CPA Firm bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items.
(f) Seller shall cause the Company to settle and close all foreign exchange contracts to which the Company is a party, effective prior to the Closing. Any gains or losses with respect to such foreign exchange contracts that remain unsettled as of the Closing shall be for the account of the Seller and shall be treated as an adjustment to the Cash Portion pursuant to Section 2.2 when ultimately closed out, and in the event of any dispute, shall be subject to resolution pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 2.3(e) above.
(g) The parties shall cause the Company to take and complete a 100% physical inventory as soon as commercially practicable and as close in time to the Closing Date as
-8-
commercially practicable. Each of the parties hereto and their respective representatives shall be entitled to observe such physical inventory, and the parties shall jointly plan and execute such physical inventory in a manner which minimizes interference with the Company’s operations.
(h) Immediately prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the Company to transfer title of all of the Company’s finished goods inventory and all die and wafer inventories to Parent.

warranties contained in Section 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.8(b), 6.14, 6.15(b), 6.16, 6.17, 6.19 or Section 6.23, to the extent related to any of the aforementioned Article 6 representations and warranties, Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.5 or Section 7.6, to the extent related to any of the aforementioned Article 7 representations and warranties, Section 9.1 and any breaches of the covenants or agreements contained herein (other than the covenants of Seller and Parent contained in Article 5 hereof) shall survive the Closing until 30 days after the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations.

(c) Defense of Claims. If a party hereto seeks indemnification under this Section 11.2, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice as soon as reasonably practicable to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim. In that regard, if any suit, action, claim, liability or obligation (a “Proceeding”) shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Section 11.2, the Indemnified Party shall within 30 days notify the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in detail the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto; provided that the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party, if it so elects, shall assume and control the defense of such Proceeding or permit its predecessors (a “Permitted Designee”) to assume such defense if the Indemnifying Party is required to permit such Permitted Designee to assume and control such defense pursuant to any agreement it has made with such Permitted Designee (provided that, in either case, the Indemnifying Party and, if applicable, its Permitted Designee shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto and keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised of such defense), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of expenses; provided that in the event any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would not entitle the Indemnified Party to full indemnity pursuant to Section 11.2, the Indemnified Party may elect to participate in a joint defense of such Proceeding (a “Joint Defense Proceeding”) for which the expenses of such joint defense will be shared by such parties in proportion to each party’s liability and the employment of counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to both parties; provided further that if the participation of such Indemnified Party would void any indemnity to which any Indemnifying Party may be entitled to receive from any third party, upon receipt of an unconditional written undertaking from the Indemnifying Party to compensate the Indemnified Party for any and all Losses in connection with such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party may elect to exclude the Indemnified Party from participation in such Proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume and control the defense of a Proceeding (either directly or through its Permitted Designee), it will provide notice thereof within 30 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter and if such Proceeding is not a Joint Defense Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party or its Permitted Designee, as the case may be, in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless
-42-
(i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party or its Permitted Designee, as the case may be, in writing or (ii) the Indemnifying Party or its Permitted Designee, as the case may be, has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding, the defense of which it (either directly or through its Permitted Designee) has elected to assume, which settlement is effected without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided that no settlement of a Joint Defense Proceeding may be effected without the written consent of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. If there shall be a settlement to which the Indemnifying Party consents or a final judgment for the plaintiff in any Proceeding, the defense of which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to the settlement or judgment. If the Indemnifying Party (either directly or through its Permitted Designee) elects to assume and control the defense or in the event of a Joint Defense Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable efforts necessary to assist the Indemnifying Party in such defense.
(d) Payments. Any payment pursuant to a claim for indemnification shall be made not later than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of written notice from the Indemnified Party stating the amount of the claim, unless the claim is subject to defense as provided in Section 11.2(c) or is a dispute, claim or controversy which is the subject of an unresolved arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 11.11, in which case payment shall be made not later than 30 days after the amount of the claim is finally determined. Any payment required under this Section 11.2(d) which is not made when due shall bear interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, compounded monthly.
(e) Mitigation. Each of the parties shall take, and Buyer shall cause the Company to take, all commercially reasonable steps within their control to mitigate any Losses as soon as reasonably practicable after such party becomes aware of any event which does, or could reasonably be expected to, give rise to any such Losses.
(f) Losses Net of Insurance Proceeds, Etc. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11.2 shall be net of (i) any amount previously paid or otherwise settled among the parties pursuant to the Consideration Adjustment procedures of Section 2.3, (ii) any amounts, as and when recovered, by an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party, including any insurer or any other sources of cash proceeds available to offset such Loss (it being agreed that nothing in this Agreement shall impair any right of subrogation to which such third party may be entitled) (any such third party referred to in this clause (ii), a “Collateral Source”) and (iii) any Tax benefits attributable to any such Loss, as and when realized. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required pursuant to this Section 11.2 is determined after such payment, the Indemnified Party shall repay the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Section 11.2 had such determination been made at the time of such payment.
-43-
(g) Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provided in this Section 11.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Date for monetary damages available to Buyer, ChipPAC, Parent and Seller for breaches of any of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement. As between Seller and Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer and ChipPAC, including without limitation after the Closing, the Company, on the other hand, the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement will be the exclusive rights and obligations with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the events giving rise to this Agreement and the transactions provided for in this Agreement (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, any of the subject matter, events giving rise to or transactions provided for in any of the Ancillary Agreements). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, as a material inducement to the other parties hereto entering into this Agreement, and in light of, among other factors, the acknowledgments contained in this Section 11.2(g), each of the parties to this Agreement hereby waives any claim or cause of action, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exists or may arise in the future, or which it otherwise might assert, including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities laws, trade regulation laws, Environmental Health and Safety Requirements or other laws, by reason of this Agreement or its subject matter, the events giving rise to this Agreement and the transactions provided for in this Agreement, except for (i) claims or causes of action brought under and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) injunctive relief or other equitable relief (other than for rescission).
(h) Collateral Sources. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from any Collateral Source in connection with any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11.2, it being agreed that nothing in this Agreement shall require such Indemnified Party to proceed against such Collateral Source prior to making a demand for indemnification from the Indemnifying Party. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, and so long as any such assignment is permitted pursuant to the terms of any agreement between the Indemnified Party and its Collateral Source, the Indemnified Party shall assign to the Indemnifying Party the right of such Indemnified Party to assert a claim against such Collateral Source. In the event of such an assignment, the Indemnifying Party may pursue such claim at its own expense.
(i) Adjustments. Amounts paid as indemnification shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration paid for the Company Stock.
(j) Environmental Procedures.
(i) With respect to any Loss for which any of the Buyer Indemnitees is indemnified under Section 11.2 of this Agreement, the resolution of which involves environmental investigation, cleanup, remedial action or other response action (“Remediation”) on any real property used or occupied at any time by the Company in connection with its business, Seller or Parent shall have the right, upon timely written notice, to conduct or control the Remediation, or permit their Permitted Designee to conduct or control such Remediation (if either Seller or Parent is required to permit such Permitted Designee to assume and control such defense pursuant to any agreement it had made with such Permitted Designee as in effect as of the date hereof), and such Remediation shall only be required to meet the “Minimum Cleanup Standard.” For purposes of this Agreement,
-44-
the “Minimum Cleanup Standard” shall mean the least stringent standard acceptable under all Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements (for this purpose as in effect upon completion of the Remediation) and all enforceable requirements of governmental authorities with jurisdiction (“Governmental Authorities”) or, if no such standard has been adopted, promulgated or imposed by the applicable Governmental Authority or by Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements (for this purpose as in effect upon the completion of the Remediation) as of the date such Remediation is being conducted, the standard to which the parties, in good faith, agree; provided, however, that in none of the foregoing cases shall the Minimum Cleanup Standard be at or below a standard for which (A) Buyer or the Company would be required to impose or implement controls or restrictions which would impair the use of the affected property as used as of the Closing Date, (B) for which additional Remediation would be required in the future to achieve and maintain compliance with Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements or to meet the requirements of Governmental Authorities, as such Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements and requirements exist as of the date of the completion of the Remediation or (C) which does not fully resolve any liability of the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to such matter; provided further that with respect to any Remediation at any property leased by the Company, the Minimum Cleanup Standard shall also meet the requirements of the landlord/lessor of such property.
(ii) Remediation conducted by Seller or Parent or a Permitted Designee shall be conducted in a manner which minimizes interference to the business of the Company after the Closing Date, and if and to the extent various Remediation alternatives are available, Seller and Parent shall, and shall cause any Permitted Designee to, implement or pay for the implementation, as the case may be, of such Remediation which imposes the least interruption, interference or disruption (taking into account the cost effectiveness, regulatory and legal constraints) unless (A) the Buyer Indemnitees consent to a different alternative or (B) Seller and Parent indemnify and reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for all Losses arising from such interruption, interference or disruption.
(iii) With respect to Remediation performed by Seller, Parent or a Permitted Designee, Seller and Parent shall, and shall cause any Permitted Designee to: (A) diligently and expeditiously perform or cause to be performed such Remediation to completion; (B) provide the Buyer Indemnitees reasonable prior notice of their access requirements and obtain the Company’s consent before commencing or performing any Remediation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); (C) keep the Buyer Indemnitees reasonably informed of the progress of the on-site activities and provide the Buyer Indemnitees with copies of any results of sampling and analytical data (including any status reports of work-in-progress or reports required to be submitted to any Governmental Authorities in connection with conducting the Remediation); (D) provide the Buyer Indemnitees a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any submittal to Governmental Authorities and consider in good faith the Buyer Indemnitees’ reasonable comments which must be expeditiously provided (and Seller and Parent acknowledge that any comments, which relate to the interruption, interference or disruption with the operation of the business of the Company, damage to the Company’s property, the safety of Company personnel or compliance with Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements shall be deemed reasonable); (E) provide the Buyer Indemnitees with the opportunity to observe all of the activities undertaken by or on behalf of Seller,
-45-
Parent or any Permitted Designee in implementing the Remediation; (F) provide reasonable advance notice to the Buyer Indemnitees of any meetings with any Governmental Authorities concerning the Remediation and permit the Buyer Indemnitees to attend such meetings; (G) comply with all applicable Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements and other laws and Buyer’s and the Company’s reasonable health and safety requirements; and (H) promptly upon completion of any on-site activities, restore any adversely affected portions of the property to its predisturbed condition such that Buyer and the Company can continue the operation of the Company’s business in the manner in which such business was conducted prior to the commencement of the on-site activities.

Buyer and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Parent against any Losses to the extent arising out of or relating to Buyer’s or the Company’s interference with or disruption of Seller’s or Parent’s Remediation, or any release or violation caused by Buyer or the Company after the Closing Date.
11.3 Mutual Assistance. Each of the parties hereto agrees that they will mutually cooperate in the expeditious filing of all notices, reports and other filings with any governmental authority required to be submitted jointly by any of the parties hereto in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

11.4 Tax Matters.
(a) Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Seller and Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Malaysian income Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or for which the date of measurement for such Tax occurs on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date (any such period, a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the Company, and Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax returns (other than Malaysian income Tax returns) for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Parent. Subject to Seller’s and Parent’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, the Company shall pay all Taxes shown on all Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Buyer shall provide, or shall cause the Company to provide, any documents reasonably requested by Seller or Parent in order to enable Seller and Parent to complete such Malaysian income Tax Returns. Seller and Parent shall permit Buyer to review and comment on each such Malaysian income Tax Return described in this Section 11.4(a) prior to filing. Seller and
-46-
Parent shall reimburse Buyer and the Company for, and shall indemnify and hold Buyer and the Company harmless against and from, all Taxes of the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods within fifteen (15) days prior to any payment by Buyer or the Company of such Taxes and Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller any refund of any Taxes with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such refund.
(b) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Seller and Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Malaysian income Tax Returns for the Company for all Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (any such period, a “Straddle Tax Period”), which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the Company, and Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns (other than Malaysian income Tax returns) for all Straddle Tax Periods, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Parent.

Seller and Parent shall permit Buyer to review and comment on each such Malaysian income Tax Return described in this Section 11.4(b) prior to filing. Any portion of any Tax which must be paid in connection with any Straddle Tax Period, to the extent attributable to any period or portion of a period ending after the Closing Date, shall be referred to herein as “Post-Closing Taxes.” Buyer shall pay, or cause the Company to pay, an amount equal to the Post-Closing Taxes due with any Tax Returns for any Straddle Tax Period upon the filing of any such Tax Return with the appropriate governmental authorities, and Buyer and the Company shall indemnify and hold Seller and Parent harmless against and from all Post-Closing Taxes. Any Taxes due related to any Straddle Tax Period other than Post-Closing Taxes are referred to herein as “Pre-Closing Taxes.” Seller and Parent shall pay an amount equal to the Pre-Closing Taxes due with any Tax Return for any Straddle Tax Period upon the filing of any such Tax Return with the appropriate governmental authorities, and Seller and Parent shall indemnify and hold Buyer and the Company harmless against and from all Pre-Closing Taxes. Where the Post-Closing Taxes involve a period which begins before and ends after the Closing Date, such Post-Closing Taxes shall be calculated as though the taxable year of the Company terminated as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided that in the case of any Tax not based on income or receipts, such Post- Closing Taxes shall be equal to the amount of such Tax for the taxable year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the day after the Closing Date through the end of the taxable year and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the taxable year.
-47-
(c) Cooperation on Tax Matters.
(i) Each of the parties hereto shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 11.4 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include signing any Tax Return, amended Tax Returns, claims or other documents necessary to settle any Tax controversy, the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Following the Closing, Seller and Parent shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority.
(ii) Seller and Parent shall have the right to direct any audit or other Tax proceeding with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, at their sole cost and expense. Buyer shall cause the Company to execute powers of attorney and any other documents necessary to allow the Seller and Parent to direct such Tax proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and the Company shall have the right to participate in any Tax proceeding related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company which may have the effect of increasing Buyer’s or the Company’s Tax liability, and neither Seller nor Parent shall settle or compromise any such proceeding without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Buyer hereby agrees to consent if Seller and Parent fully indemnify Buyer and the Company for any increase in Buyer’s or the Company’s Tax liability resulting from such Tax proceeding.
(iii) Seller and Parent shall have the right to direct any audit or other Tax proceeding with respect to a Straddle Tax Period, and the cost thereof shall be shared by Seller and Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer and the Company, on the other hand, in proportion to their respective liability for Taxes ultimately determined to be owing with respect to such Straddle Tax Period. Buyer shall cause the Company to execute powers of attorney and other documents necessary to allow the Seller and Parent to direct such Tax proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and the Company shall have the right to participate in any Tax proceeding related to a Straddle Tax Period which may have the effect of increasing Buyer’s or the Company’s Tax liability, and neither Seller nor Parent shall settle or compromise any such proceeding without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Buyer hereby agrees to consent if Seller and Parent fully indemnify Buyer and the Company for any increase in Buyer’s or the Company’s Tax liability resulting from such Tax proceeding.
(iv) The parties further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
-48-
(v) Without the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Buyer, Seller shall not make or change any election, change an annual accounting period, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment relating to the Company, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, or take any other similar action, or omit to take any action relating to the filing of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax, if such action or omission would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability of the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, with respect to any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. Seller shall notify Buyer of any consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment relating to the Company within 15 days of making such consent or waiver.
(vi) Without the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Seller, neither Buyer nor the Company shall make or change any election, change an annual accounting period, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment relating to the Company, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, or take any similar action, or omit to take any action relating to the filing of any Tax Return or the Payment of any Tax, if such action or omission would have the effect of increasing the liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates under this Section 11.4 with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or with respect to any Pre-Closing Taxes.
(d) Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby nor shall it have any liability thereunder.
(e) Certain Taxes. Except as set forth in Section 11.16, each of Seller and Parent shall be jointly and severally liable for, and shall indemnify each Buyer Indemnitee against, any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) as transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise.
(f) Transfer Pricing Agreements. Parent will supply Buyer with a copy of all closing or other agreements in its possession or control related to the Company entered into with the Internal Revenue Service, the Malaysian taxing authority or any other state, local or foreign taxing authorities relating in whole or in part to Code Section 482 or any other comparable transfer pricing provision set forth under state, local or foreign tax law that arise from any transaction between (i) the Company with (ii) Parent or any of its Affiliates or their respective predecessors, and Parent will use its best efforts to supply, with respect thereto, any supporting documentation including, but not limited to, any transfer pricing or economic studies obtained for, or in anticipation of, any such proceeding.
11.5 Books and Records. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.4(c)(i) hereof, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Seller or Buyer (as the case may be), Seller will not, and Buyer shall not permit the Company to, for a period of seven (7) years following the date hereof, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of the Company retained by the Company or Seller as of the Closing without first offering to surrender to Seller or Buyer such
-49-
books and records or any portion thereof of which Seller or Buyer may intend to destroy, alter or dispose. Without limiting the provisions of Section 11.4(c)(i) hereof, Seller will, and Buyer will cause the Company to, allow the other party’s representatives, attorneys and accountants access to such books and records, upon reasonable request and during such party’s normal business hours, for the purpose of examining and copying the same in connection with any matter arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
11.6 Press Release and Announcements. Unless required by law or any rule or regulation of any securities exchange upon which the securities of any party or any of its Affiliates are registered (in which case each of the parties agrees to use reasonable efforts to consult with the others prior to any such disclosure as to the form and content of such disclosure), after the date hereof, through and including the Closing Date, no press releases, announcements to the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company or other releases of information related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be issued or released without the consent of both Buyer and Parent.
11.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Buyer and ChipPAC, on the one hand, and Seller and Parent, on the other hand, shall bear its own expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, investment bankers, brokers, finders or other representatives and consultants) incident to its obligations under and in respect of this Agreement, each of the other agreements contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.
11.8 Restructuring Expenses. On October 1, 2000, Parent shall pay ChipPAC $1,500,000.00 USD in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to assist ChipPAC in the restructuring of the Company’s operations (including, without limitation, the restructuring of the Hermetic and MOV and other product lines).

Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees that Buyer and ChipPAC shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement which would prevent or delay the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to enforce such obligations of Seller and Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in any action instituted in any court having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which Buyer or ChipPAC may be entitled pursuant hereto.
-50-
11.11 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that they will attempt to settle any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement through good faith negotiations in the spirit of mutual cooperation between senior business executives with authority to resolve the controversy.
(b) Any dispute, claim or controversy that cannot be resolved by the parties through good faith negotiations within 30 days of the notification to the other party of the commencement of the dispute resolution procedures of this Section 11.11 will then, upon the written request of any party hereto, be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a sole arbitrator. Such arbitrator shall be mutually agreeable to the parties. If the parties cannot mutually agree upon the selection of an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the then effective Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. To the extent not governed by such rules, such arbitrator shall be directed by the parties to set a schedule for determination of such dispute, claim or controversy that is reasonable under the circumstances. Such arbitrator shall be directed by the parties to determine the dispute in accordance with this Agreement and the substantive rules of law (but not the rules of procedure or evidence) that would be applied by a federal court required to apply the internal law (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of New York. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language in New York, New York. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
(c) Nothing contained in this Section 11.11 shall prevent any party hereto from resorting to judicial process if injunctive or other equitable relief from a court is necessary to prevent injury to such party or its Affiliates. The use of arbitration procedures will not be construed under the doctrine of laches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of any party hereto to assert any claim or defense.
11.12 Further Transfers. Each of the parties hereto will execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as any other party may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to Buyer of the Company Stock and any other transactions contemplated hereby.
11.13 Transition Assistance. Neither Parent nor Seller will, nor will they permit the Company to, in any manner take any action which is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging customers, suppliers, lessors, licensors and other business associates from maintaining the same business relationships with the Company after the date of this Agreement as were maintained with the Company prior to the date of this Agreement.
-51-
11.14 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. As condition precedent to each of Buyer and ChipPAC to enter into and perform their respective obligations under this Agreement, Parent agrees, on behalf of Intersil Holding Corporation and each of Intersil Holding Corporation’s controlled Affiliates (any of Intersil Holding Corporation or Intersil Holding Corporation’s controlled Affiliates hereafter referred to as a “Restricted Person”) that:
(a) except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), no Restricted Person shall, directly or indirectly, either for itself or for any other Person, (i) engage in any Competing Business or (ii) own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any Person who or which at any relevant time during such period is engaged in any Competing Business or permit its name to be used in connection with any Competing Business. As used herein, “Competing Business” means the provision of products or services in the semiconductor packaging or test business anywhere in the world, excluding (i) the provision of such assembly and test services for Parent’s current military product line serviced at Parent’s Palm Bay, Florida facility or (ii) the provision of such products or services for prototypes (in non-production quantities). Nothing in this Section 11.14 shall prevent any Restricted Person from acquiring and operating any business, a portion of which may consist of the business of providing back-end packaging or test services for the internal use of such acquired business (as opposed to providing such services to third parties); it being agreed that such acquired business may continue to provide such packaging or test services, but only for the internal use of such acquired business (and not for any Restricted Person or any third party).
(b) During the Non-Competition Period, no Restricted Person will, directly or indirectly, offer employment to or hire (in any capacity) any employee of the Company as of the Closing Date or any person who was an employee of the Company at any time during the six-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Buyer.
(c) If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 11.14, a court shall hold that the duration, scope, geographic area or other restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope, geographic area or other restrictions deemed reasonable under such circumstances by such court shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope, geographic area or other restrictions.
(d) Parent recognizes and affirms that in the event of breach by any Restricted Person of any of the provisions of this Section 11.14, money damages would be inadequate and none of ChipPAC, Buyer or the Company would have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Parent agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Restricted Person, that each of ChipPAC, Buyer and the Company shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor, to enforce their rights and the Restricted Persons’ obligations under this Section 11.14 not only by an action or actions for damages, but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations (whether anticipatory, continuing or future) of the provisions of this Section 11.14 (including, without limitation, the extension of the Non-Competition Period by a period equal to (i) the length of the violation of this Section 11.14 plus (ii) the length of any court proceedings necessary to stop such violation). In the event of a breach or violation by any Restricted Person of any of the provisions of this Section 11.14, the running of the Non-Competition Period (but not of the Restricted Persons’ obligations under this Section 11.14) shall be tolled with respect to each Restricted Person during the continuance of any actual breach or violation.
-52-
11.15 Confidentiality. After the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, continue to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information, documents and materials relating to the Company or relating to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent disclosure of any such information is required by law or regulation (including any regulation of any securities exchange on which any such Person’s securities are traded) or authorized by Buyer. After the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, continue to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information, documents and materials relating to Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than, for avoidance of doubt, the Company) which has been disclosed to any of them, except to the extent disclosure of any such information is required by law or regulation (including any regulation of any securities exchange on which any such Person’s securities are traded) or authorized by Parent. In the event that any party reasonably believes after consultation with counsel that it is required by law to disclose any confidential information described in this Section 11.15 the disclosing party will (a) provide the other party with prompt notice before such disclosure in order that any party may attempt to obtain a protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such confidential information and (b) cooperate with the other party in attempting to obtain such order or assurance. The provisions of this Section 11.15 shall not apply to any information, documents or materials which are, as shown by appropriate written evidence, in the public domain or, as shown by appropriate written evidence, shall come into the public domain, other than by reason of breach by the applicable party bound hereunder or its Affiliates.
11.16 Taxes; Recording Charges. All documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, conveyance or similar transfer Taxes arising out of the sale of the Company Stock or otherwise incurred in connection with this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all charges for or in connection with the recording of any document or instrument contemplated hereby shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer, including, without limitation, the cost of the 0.3% stamp duty required to transfer the Company’s capital stock from Seller to Buyer. Buyer shall cause the Company to file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation in connection with the Taxes encompassed in this Section 11.16 and, if required by law, any of the other parties hereto will execute and join in any such filing.
11.17 Ancillary Agreements. Following the Closing Date, Parent and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, perform their respective obligations under the Ancillary Agreements.
11.18 Chinese Subsidiaries.
(a) The Company and certain Affiliates of Xxxxxx Corporation (collectively, “Xxxxxx”) are parties to three separate purchase agreements regarding the transfer of the beneficial interests in, and transfer of title to, the Chinese Subsidiaries (as the same are in effect as of the date hereof, the “Chinese Purchase Agreements”). As of the date of this Agreement, none of the transfers of the Chinese Subsidiaries to Xxxxxx contemplated by the Chinese Purchase Agreements has been consummated. Buyer shall cause the Company to comply with its obligations under the Chinese
-53-
Purchase Agreements. Parent agrees that it will arrange for and consummate the sale, liquidation or other disposition of all of the Chinese Subsidiaries or the assets thereof or the transfer to Xxxxxx of title to the shares of such Chinese Subsidiaries as soon as commercially practicable.
(b) In consideration of the covenants undertaken pursuant to Section 11.18(a), each of Parent and Seller, jointly and severally, agree to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, Buyer, ChipPAC and each of their Affiliates from all costs, losses, liabilities, claims and expenses, including any fees and expenses of attorneys or other advisors (but excluding any loss of investment value in the Chinese Subsidiaries) related to, or in any way resulting from, (i) the ownership or transfer by the Company of any Chinese Subsidiary or (ii) the ownership or operation or transfer by any Chinese Subsidiary of any of its assets or liabilities, including any and all Taxes incurred by the Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with such ownership, operation or transfer (including all Transfer taxes) and any contributions or payments the Company or any of its Affiliates are required to make in connection with such ownership provided that any Taxes or other expenses or Losses arising as a result of the sale of any Chinese Subsidiary or the distribution of funds from any Chinese Subsidiary as a result of liquidation or otherwise shall be paid, in the first instance, from such proceeds or distributions. The indemnification obligations of Parent and Seller under this Section 11.18 shall be in addition to those obligations set forth in Section 11.2 of this Agreement.
