If the Shareholders’ Representative does not deliver an Initial Objection Notice to Purchaser during the Initial Response Period, then the Purchaser’s calculation of the number or amount set forth in the Additional Share Purchase Price Statement shall be binding and conclusive on the Purchaser, the Selling Shareholders and the Shareholders’ Representative.

If the Shareholders’ Representative has requested additional information during the Initial Response Period and does not deliver a Final Objection Notice to Purchaser during the Final Response Period, then the Purchaser’s calculation of the number or amount set forth in the Additional Share Purchase Price Statement shall be binding and conclusive on the Purchaser, the Selling Shareholders and the Shareholders’ Representative. If the Shareholders’ Representative delivers an Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice, as the case may be, accompanied by a statement setting forth the Actual Revenues and the number of Additional Purchase Price Shares or cash amount, determined by the Shareholders’ Representative to

12

be correct to the Purchaser during either the Initial Response Period or the Final Response Period in accordance with this Section 2.4, and if the Shareholders’ Representative and the Purchaser are unable to agree upon the calculation of the number or amount set forth in the Additional Share Purchase Price Statement within 30 days after such Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice, as the case may be, is delivered to the Purchaser, the dispute shall be finally settled by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative. The determination by the independent accounting firm of the disputed number of Additional Purchase Price Shares or the cash amount, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Purchaser, the Selling Shareholders and the Shareholders’ Representative.

(b) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Selling Shareholders, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnitees, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Indemnitees or any of their Representatives, other than information disclosed in the Disclosure Letter.

(c) Nothing contained in Section 6.1 shall limit any rights or remedy of any Indemnitee for claims based on fraud.

6.2 Indemnification by Selling Shareholders. From and after the Closing (but subject to Section 6.1 and to the last paragraph of this Section 6.2), the Selling Shareholders (the “Indemnitors”) shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Indemnitees or the relevant Acquired Company (in each case without duplication) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Indemnitees or the relevant Acquired Company (in each case without duplication) for any Damages which are incurred by any of the Indemnitees or any of the Acquired Companies and which arise from or are a result of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by any Selling Shareholder in this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement (in each case without duplication of Damages where the circumstances or facts give rise to a breach of multiple representations and warranties);

35

(b) any Shareholders Transaction Expenses not paid by the Selling Shareholders prior to or at the Closing which any Acquired Company is obligated to pay; or

(c) any Post-Closing Payment Fees payable by the Selling Shareholders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (A) with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 4, a Selling Shareholder shall only have liability as to a breach of such representations and warranties as they relate to such Selling Shareholder (and not as they relate to any other Selling Shareholder); (B) if prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, an Indemnitee asserts a claim for indemnification under Section 6 (the “Applicable Claim”) for a breach of Specified Representations other than Section 4.1, such Indemnitee shall seek recourse with respect to such Applicable Claim against the Indemnification Escrow Amount before seeking recourse directly against the Selling Shareholders (it being understood, however, that if the amount of Damages claimed by such Indemnitee to be owing with respect to the Applicable Claim exceeds the portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount that is not subject to a prior indemnification claim and that is available for such Applicable Claim, then, subject to the other limitations contained in this Section 6, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek recourse directly against the Selling Shareholders for such excess amount); and (C) if prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, an Indemnitee asserts an Applicable Claim for a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1, such Indemnitee shall seek recourse with respect to such Applicable Claim against the Indemnification Escrow Amount before seeking recourse directly against such breaching Selling Shareholder (it being understood, however, that if the amount of Damages claimed by such Indemnitee to be owing with respect to the Applicable Claim exceeds the portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount attributable to such breaching Selling Shareholder that is not subject to a prior indemnification claim and that is available for such Applicable Claim, then, subject to the other limitations contained in this Section 6, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek recourse directly against such Selling Shareholder for such excess amount).

If any Acquired Company incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any breach of any representation and warranty, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Purchaser as an Indemnitee but always without duplication) the Purchaser shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the shares of the Acquired Companies, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such breach.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties agree that any particular indemnification Claim pursuant to this Section 6.2 may only be brought against the Selling Shareholders by MIPS, or a person designated by MIPS as a person being entitled to act on behalf of all other Indemnitees seeking to assert an indemnification Claim against a Selling Shareholder).

6.3 Limitations; Exclusivity; Other Considerations.

(a) No Damages arising from any individual breach of a representation and warranty shall count toward the satisfaction of the Deductible (as defined below) or otherwise be counted towards Damages unless the breach of such representation or warranty set forth in Section 3 (or multiple breaches of the

36

same representation and warranty all of which are based on similar circumstances or facts, including where such circumstances or facts give rise to claims by multiple parties (without double counting)), without regard to any materiality qualifiers contained therein (including the word “Material” before “Contract” in Section 3.10(d) and the word “material” before other words or phrases contained in Section 3, but excluding the reference to “Material” before the word “Contract” in the first sentence of Section 3.10(c)) and without regard to the reference to EUR 10.000 in Section 3.5(a), results in Damages in excess of $10,000 individually (a “Qualified Claim”).

(b) The Indemnitors shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 6.2 until such time as the total amount of all Damages arising from Qualified Claims that have been incurred by any one or more of the Indemnitees exceeds, and only to the extent that such Damages exceed, $500,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”);

(c) In the event that any Indemnitee or any Acquired Company incurs Damages resulting from an IP Breach (as defined below), and provided that such Damages would, in accordance with Sections 6.2, 6.3(a) and 6.3(b), entitle an Indemnitee to a claim for indemnification hereunder, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for all such Damages in excess of $500,000 and less than or equal to $2,500,000, the Indemnitees shall be entitled to receive indemnification up to 50% of the Damages to which the Indemnitees are otherwise entitled pursuant to Section 6.2. If Damages (for which Indemnitees are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2) incurred as a result of IP Breaches are in excess of $2,500,000, the Indemnitees shall be entitled to receive payment under Section 6.2 of up to $1,000,000 plus the amount by which such Damages incurred are greater than $2,500,000; it being understood that, except in the case of fraud, under no circumstances shall Indemnitors ever have any liability under any IP Breach for Damages that exceed the amounts remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account. For the purposes of the foregoing “IP Breach” means a breach of a representation and warranty related to Intellectual Property and/or to Intellectual Property Rights (whether made under Section 3.9 or otherwise).

(d) Recourse by the Indemnitees to the Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be the Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive remedy for Damages resulting from the matters referred to in Section 6.2 or 6.3; therefore, the Purchaser expressly agrees and accepts to exclude any other right, action, remedy defense, exception, claim or means of protection otherwise available in connection therewith and hereby expressly renounces to the fullest extent permitted by law to the rights it may have under law or contract to seek the rescission of this Agreement.

(e) The limitations set forth in Sections 6.3(a), (b), (c) and (d), (as may be applicable) shall not apply: (i) in the case of fraud; (ii) to a breach of any of the Specified Representations; or (iii) to the matters referred to in Sections 6.2(b) and 6.2(c).

(f) The limitations set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and (b) shall not apply to a breach of the representation and warranty made under Section 3.4(i).

(g) When assessing the Damages claimed by the Indemnitee(s) or the Acquired Companies and finally to be indemnified by the Indemnitors pursuant to

37

Sections 6.2 and 6.3, an arbitrator may take into account, all evidence that such arbitrator may consider to be fair and just, including, among other things, in reducing Damages, evidence relating to:

(i) the amounts recoverable by such Indemnitee from any insurer or third party in respect of such Damage net of the costs incurred in connection recovering such amount such as, insurance premium increases;

(ii) any benefit consisting of an actual reduction in Taxes or social security charges resulting from such Damage for the Indemnitee or any Acquired Company net of any increase in Taxes such as a corresponding reduction in Tax deductions or other tax detriments;

(iii) any action or omission taken after the Closing by any of the Indemnitees, any Acquired Company, any other current or future affiliate of MIPS or any Representative of the Indemnitees, any Acquired Company or any such current or future affiliate, in any case to the extent that such action or omission increases or decreases the amount of Damages resulting from a particular matter; and

(iv) the fact that an amount of Damage in respect of Taxes or social security charges corresponds only to a change in the time when an amount of Taxes or social security charges should have been paid.

(h) The Indemnitors shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitees against Damages which would not have occurred but for either: (i) a change, after the date hereof, of applicable law or Legal Requirements or of its interpretation or application by Governmental Body; or (ii) a change, after the Closing Date, of the accounting or Tax methods applied by the Acquired Companies or any restructuring of the Acquired Companies.

(i) If: (i) there is a provision reflected in the Unaudited Interim Account; (ii) an Indemnitee or an Acquired Company incurs Damages a result of a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3; and (iii) the provision referred to in clause “(i)” of this sentence relates directly to the circumstances giving rise to the breach referred to in clause “(ii)” of this sentence, Damages resulting from such breach shall be reduced by the amount of such provision to the extent and only to the extent that such provision has not been extinguished by prior reduction of such provision as a result of its use for its intended purpose (e.g., if a provision exists as an allowance for doubtful accounts and Acquired Company customers fail to pay their obligations to the Acquired Companies, such failure to pay shall reduce such provision and only after, and to the extent that, the provision has been fully utilized, shall a Claim for an Acquired Company customer’s failure to pay its obligations to the Acquired Companies arise).

6.4 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against any of the Acquired Companies, MIPS, the Purchaser or any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnitor may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 6, the Purchaser shall have the right to, and shall, at the Shareholders’ Representative’s request, proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Shareholders’ Representative. If the Purchaser so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding:

(a) each Indemnitor shall make available to the Purchaser any documents and materials in his possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding; and

38

(b) the Purchaser shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that if the Purchaser settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the Shareholders’ Representative, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by MIPS, the Indemnitee, MIPS’ current or future affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) or any of their respective Representatives (excluding the Selling Shareholders) in connection with such claim or Legal Proceeding (it being understood that if the Purchaser requests that the Shareholders’ Representative consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Shareholders’ Representative shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent).

The Purchaser shall give the Shareholders’ Representative prompt notice of the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding against the Purchaser or any of the Acquired Companies; provided, however, that any failure on the part of the Purchaser to so notify the Shareholders’ Representative shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitors under Section 6 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding). If the Purchaser does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Shareholders’ Representative may proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Shareholders’ Representative may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event that the Purchaser does not defend a claim or matter subject to indemnification as provided above, any costs or expenses incurred or amounts paid by the Indemnitor in connection with such matter shall be deemed Damages paid by the Indemnitor in satisfaction of any indemnity obligation hereunder.

6.5 No Setoff. Subject to the other provisions of Section 6, the Indemnitees shall not have the right to withhold and deduct any sum that may be owed to any Indemnitee under Section 6 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement referred to herein or attached hereto from any amounts payable by the Purchaser to any Selling Shareholder, in any capacity, other than from the Indemnification Escrow Amount as provided in the Indemnification Escrow Agreement.

7. ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY

The Parties further agree as set forth on Schedule XIII.

8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

8.1 No Consequential, Incidental, Indirect, Special or Punitive Damages.

In no event shall any party be liable to any other party for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages under this Agreement, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

39

8.2 Several Liability of the Selling Shareholders.

Other than in respect of the rights of the Indemnitees to the Indemnification Escrow Account, the liability of the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is several and not joint.

8.3 Shareholders’ Representative.

(a) The Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Shareholders’ Representative on all matters relating to Sections 2, 6 and 7, and Schedule XII, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Selling Shareholder by the Shareholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Selling Shareholder by the Shareholders’ Representative, as fully binding upon such Selling Shareholder.

(b) If the Shareholders’ Representative shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities hereunder, the Selling Shareholders shall within ten days after such death, disability or inability, appoint a successor to the Shareholders’ Representative and immediately thereafter notify the Purchaser of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Shareholders’ Representative as Shareholders’ Representative hereunder. If for any reason there is no Shareholders’ Representative at any time, all references herein to the Shareholders’ Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Selling Shareholders.

8.4 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.5. Fees and Expenses. Subject to Section 6, Section 7, Schedule XII and Schedule XIII, each party to this Agreement shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses that have been incurred or that are incurred in the future by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Selling Shareholders shall bear and pay all Shareholders Transaction Expenses (it being understood that all fees and expenses payable to ABN AMRO Bank N.V. shall be fees and expenses of the Selling Shareholders).

8.6. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received: (a) when delivered by hand; (b) on the day sent by facsimile provided that the sender has received confirmation of transmission as of or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York time on such day; (c) the first business day after sent by facsimile (to the extent that the sender has received confirmation of transmission after 5:00 p.m. New York time on the day sent by facsimile); or (d) the third business day after sent by registered mail or by courier or express delivery service, in any case to the address or facsimile telephone number set forth beneath the name of such party below (or to such other address or facsimile telephone number as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto):

8.7. Counterparts and Exchanges by Electronic Transmission or Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.

8.8. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the laws of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws, save for those maters which are mandatory governed by Portuguese law.

(b) Any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in accordance with paragraph (f) of Schedule XII (it being understood that nothing in this Section 8.8(b) shall prevent the Purchaser from seeking preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 6 (and, at the option of the Indemnitee, any other claim for a monetary remedy, such as in the case of a claim based upon fraud, relating to this Agreement after the Closing) shall be brought and resolved exclusively in accordance with Schedule XII (it being understood that nothing in this Section 8.8(c) shall prevent the Purchaser from seeking preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction).

8.9. Successors and Assigns. No party hereto may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the consent of the Purchaser (in the case of an assignment or delegation by any Selling Shareholder) or the Shareholders’ Representative (in the case of an assignment or delegation by the Purchaser or MIPS), except that any party hereto that is an entity may assign its rights or delegate its obligations: (a) to an affiliate thereof in connection with any internal restructuring; or (b) to any Person that acquires at least a majority of the equity interests of such party (whether through a share purchase, merger or otherwise). This Agreement shall be binding upon: (i) each Acquired Company and its successors and permitted assigns (if any); (ii) each of the Selling Shareholders and his or her personal representatives, executors, administrators, estates, heirs, successors and permitted assigns (if any); and (iii) the Purchaser and its successors and assigns (if any). This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of: (A) each Acquired Company; (B) the Selling Shareholders; (C) the Purchaser; (D) the other Indemnitees; (E) MIPS; and (F) the respective successors and assigns (if any) of the foregoing.

42

8.10. Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative). The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party to this Agreement of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement, for the benefit of any other party to this Agreement: (a) such other party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision; and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach; and (b) such other party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or Legal Proceeding.

8.11. Waiver. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Person shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

8.12. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented other than by means of a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative (for and on behalf of the Selling Shareholders).

8.13. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8.14. Parties in Interest. Except for the expressly set forth in this Agreement including the provisions of Section 6, none of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (if any).

8.15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules) and the other agreements referred to herein set forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among or between any of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

8.16. Disclosure Letter. The Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained herein permitting such disclosure, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only: (i) the particular representation or warranty set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered section herein permitting such disclosure and (ii) any other representation or warranty to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that the disclosure applies to such other representation or warranty.

43

8.17. Consent and Waiver; Termination of Existing Agreements. Each of the Selling Shareholders hereby gives any Consents (including any waivers of applicable notice periods) that are required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether such Consents are required under the terms of any Contract to which such Selling Shareholder is a party (including the Shareholders’ Agreement entered into ay and between the Selling Shareholders in their capacity as shareholders of the Company, dated as of May 13, 2005, as amended (the “Shareholders Agreement”), under any Charter Document, under any Legal Requirement or otherwise. If and to the extent a Selling Shareholder is a party to the Shareholders Agreement or to an investment and subscription agreement with the Company, such Selling Shareholder agrees to the termination of each and every of such Agreements, such termination to be effective immediately prior to the Closing.

8.18. Efforts by MIPS. In consideration of MIPS being also an Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement, MIPS undertakes to use its best efforts to ensure that the Purchaser (or any successor or assign of the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) shall have available all means required to and shall perform its obligations under Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

8.19. Registration. As promptly as practicable following the issuance of Additional Purchase Price Shares to the Selling Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.5, MIPS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the United States Securities Exchange Commission and have declared effective a registration statement on Form S-3 or another form with respect to such Additional Purchase Price Shares, in any case only if (and to the extent that) such Additional Purchase Price Shares are not eligible for resale in the United States immediately after issuance pursuant to an exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If it will be necessary to register the Additional Purchase Price Shares pursuant to this Section 8.19, then, prior to the issuance of the Additional Purchase Price Shares, MIPS shall enter into a customary form of registration rights agreement, containing customary “black out” and other provisions with the Shareholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Selling Shareholders).

8.20. Board Membership. MIPS shall appoint Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xx Xxxxxx to the Board of Directors of MIPS promptly after the Closing.

8.21. Branding. After the Closing, MIPS shall develop the Company as a business unit focused on Analog IP within the MIPS group of companies, leveraging the Company brand “Chipidea” under the primary brand MIPS. This shall include such activities as selling the products from the Analog business unit under the Chipidea brand. Additionally, to maintain the Chipidea brand in Portugal, the legal entity in Portugal shall be named “MIPS Chipidea” promptly after the Closing. Other branding activities may be determined after the Closing.

8.22. Personal Guarantees. MIPS undertakes to obtain the release of all personal guarantees issued by the Founders listed on Schedule IXX within 90 (ninety) days after Closing and to keep the Founders fully indemnified for any amounts which the Founders are required to pay under those personal guarantees as a result of a breach by any of the Acquired Companies of their payment obligations guaranteed thereunder; provided, however, that the failure by MIPS to obtain the release of a personal guarantee will not be considered as a breach of this Section 8.22 if the beneficiary of such personal guarantee or other third party at issue finally does not agree to grant such release.

44

8.23. Directors & Officers Insurance. MIPS undertakes to all the Selling Shareholders to cause the current insurance policy covering directors and officers liability engaged by the Company with AIG Europe S.A., with offices in Portugal at Xxxxxxx xx Xxxxxxxxx 000X, 0^xx, Xxxxxx, Taxpayer 980051070, with number 23071042 (the “Existing Policy”) to be kept in full force for a period of 24 months after the Closing Date to cover all persons who are covered under the Existing Policy immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with its terms and conditions; provided, however, that MIPS may substitute the Existing Policy with a policy or policies of comparable coverage or a “tail” policy with comparable coverage.

8.24. Construction.

(b) The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

(c) As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(d) Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Sections of and Schedules to this Agreement.

(e) Where monetary thresholds set forth in Sections 1, 2 and 3 are denominated in United States dollars and not in any non-United States dollar currency, applicable expenditures, revenues, payments or other matters to be used in determining whether such threshold has been attained or exceeded shall include the amounts of all such expenditures, payments, revenues or costs made, earned, paid or otherwise denominated in non-United States dollar currencies, as such amounts are converted into United States dollars at the applicable exchange rate reported in the Wall Street Journal, East Coast Edition on: (i) with respect to thresholds set forth in Section 3, the date of this Agreement; and (ii) with respect to thresholds set forth in Sections 1 and 2, the date that the applicable expenditure or payment is made.

(f) All references to “$” or “dollars” in this Agreement shall mean dollars of the United States of America. All references to “EUR” in this Agreement shall mean Euros. All references to “business days” shall mean days on which banks are open for business in New York and in Portugal.
