Each grantee under a sublicense under this Section 2.7 will have the right to transfer the sublicense in connection with the transfer, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the grantee. For clarification, the provisions set forth in this Section 2.7 shall not limit the rights of the parties under Section 14.4 of this Agreement.

3. License Fees.

3.1 License Payment. In consideration for the License, Licensee shall make a payment to the Analog Parties equal to fifteen million US dollars ($US 15,000,000) (the “Licensee Fee”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the License Back is being granted in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement and that no additional value is attributable thereto.

3.2 Withholding Taxes. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any applicable withholding tax and obtain any available exemption, tax credit or refund in respect of any such withholding tax. Licensee will pay on a timely basis all amounts owed pursuant to any applicable withholding tax to the appropriate Taxing Authority (as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement) as required by Applicable Law; provided, however, that Licensee shall first submit to Analog for its approval all documents it proposes to provide to such Taxing Authority, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Licensee shall provide to Analog an official receipt or other evidence of payment of any applicable withholding tax reasonably satisfactory to Analog. Each of Analog and Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly pay to the other fifty percent (50%) of any cash refund received by it (or an Affiliate as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement) in respect of any applicable withholding tax. For tax and accounting purposes only, any such payment shall be treated as an increase of the License Fee if made by Licensee and a reduction of the License Fee if made by Analog. If Analog (or any Affiliate of the Analog) actually receives, after taking into account all other available tax assets, a net benefit from a tax credit in respect of any applicable withholding tax, it shall pay over to Licensee 50% of the net tax benefit received promptly after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the taxable year in which such net tax

benefit was received or (ii) the completion of an audit examination by the relevant Taxing Authority of the income tax returns for the taxable year in which such net tax benefit was received. Any such payment shall be treated as a reduction of the License Fee for tax and accounting purposes only.

4. Compliance with Laws. Licensee will comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders and other requirements of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over its exercise of the License. Some elements of the technology licensed under this Agreement are subject to governmental restrictions on exports and reexports; disclosures of such technologies to foreign persons; and the importation and/or use of such technologies outside of the United States. Licensee shall comply with all applicable U.S. and foreign export, customs and import laws and regulations (including without limitation the Export Administration Regulations of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations of the U.S. Department of State and the sanctions regulations of the U.S. Department of Treasury).

5. Proprietary Rights.

5.1 Ownership. The Analog Parties retain sole and exclusive ownership of the Analog Intellectual Property and Analog Technology. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no license right in or to the Analog Technology or Analog Intellectual Property is granted to Licensee pursuant to or by virtue of this Agreement. Nothing of this Agreement conveys or assigns to Licensee any ownership in or to the Analog Technology or Analog Intellectual Property. No licenses are granted by implication. The Analog Parties will not have any obligation to register, make any filing with respect to, enforce, defend or take any other action for the perfection, maintenance, preservation or protection of any Analog Technology or Analog’s Intellectual Property.

5.2 Licensee Modifications. Licensee Modifications (with respect to Intellectual Property therein created by or for Licensee) shall belong solely to Licensee; provided that this Section 5.2 grants no license, permission or immunity with respect to any Licensee Modifications under any Analog Intellectual Property beyond or in addition to the license grants stated in this Agreement that may otherwise apply.

The Analog Parties may grant three Transaction-Connected Sublicenses without Licensee’s consent (but must provide reasonably prompt notice to Licensee of the same) and thereafter, with Licensee’s consent, not to be unreasonably refused. Transaction-Connected Sublicenses under this Section 6.2 may only be granted in a bona fide transaction not designed for the purpose of immunizing the grantee from the assertion of the Transferred IP Rights by Licensee. Each grantee of such a Transaction-Connected Sublicense may grant one Transaction-Connected Sublicense without Licensee’s consent (but must provide reasonably prompt notice to Licensee of the same) subject, in all other respects, to the foregoing terms and conditions. No Transaction-Connected Sublicense may be granted except as provided above. Every sublicense under this Section 6.2 shall not include (and shall expressly exclude) any and all rights with regard to Cellular Semiconductor Products and moreover shall be subject to terms at least as restrictive as those described in Exhibit E-2. Each grantee under a sublicense under this Section 6.2 will have the right to transfer the sublicense in connection with the transfer, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the grantee. For clarification, the provisions set forth in this Section 6.2 shall not limit the rights of the parties under Section 14.4 of this Agreement.

6.3 Related Entities. The Analog Parties shall be entitled to exercise the licenses granted hereunder through Related Entities; provided that (a) each such Related Entity consents in writing to be bound by this Agreement, and (b) any such exercise shall cease immediately if such entity ceases to be a Related Entity.
