2.12 Contingent Consideration

(a) Amount of Contingent Consideration. As additional consideration in connection with the Transaction (the “Contingent Consideration”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.9(h):

(i) Buyer shall pay to Sellers an aggregate amount equal to 0.01 multiplied by the Lenovo Systems BTO/CTO Business Revenue earned during the Measurement Period.

(ii) Buyer shall pay to Sellers an aggregate amount equal to 0.2 multiplied by the Lenovo Logistics Business Revenue earned during the Measurement Period provided that Buyer records gross margin of at least 20% (in accordance with U.S. GAAP as consistently applied by Sellers with respect to the Business prior to Closing in the preparation of Sellers’ annual and quarterly financial statements) with respect to logistics services performed for or on behalf of Lenovo at Szekesfehervar Facility, the Raleigh Facility and the Australia Facility during the Measurement Period.

(b) Contingent Consideration Definitions.

(i) “Lenovo Systems BTO/CTO Business Revenue” means revenue recorded by Buyer (in accordance with U.S. GAAP as consistently applied by Sellers with respect to the Business prior to Closing in the preparation of Sellers’ annual and quarterly financial statements) with respect to the sales of products and services that are manufactured or performed for or on behalf of Lenovo at Szekesfehervar Facility and the Raleigh Facility during the Measurement Period.

(ii) “Lenovo Systems Logistics Business Revenue” means revenue recorded by Buyer (in accordance with U.S. GAAP as consistently applied by Sellers with respect to the Business prior to Closing in the preparation of Sellers’ annual and quarterly financial statements) with respect to logistics services performed for or on behalf of Lenovo at the Szekesfehervar Facility, the Raleigh Facility and the Australia Facility during the Measurement Period. In the event Sellers continue to conduct the logistics systems business for Lenovo at Sellers’ facility in Tatabanya, Hungary (the “Tatabanya Facility”) as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and the Parties intend that Buyer shall continue to operate such business at the Tatabanya Facility following the Closing Date, the Parties hereby agree to amend the agreement such that the Lenovo Systems Logistics Business Revenue includes revenue recorded by Buyer (in accordance with U.S. GAAP as consistently applied by Sellers with respect to the Business prior to Closing in the preparation of Sellers’ annual and quarterly financial statements) with respect to logistics services performed for or on behalf of Lenovo at the Tatabanya Facility. For the avoidance of doubt, Lenovo Systems Logistics Business Revenue does not include actual pass-through material costs (regardless of whether such material has been purchased by Sellers.)

(iii) “Measurement Period” means the period beginning on the day following the Closing Date and ending on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event Buyer terminates all sales of products and services that are manufactured or performed for or on behalf of Lenovo at the Szekesfehervar Facility and/or Buyer terminates all logistics services performed for or on behalf of Lenovo at the Szekesfehervar Facility, the Raleigh

Facility and the Australian Facility earlier than the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (a “Lenovo Termination”) the Measurement Period shall end for the respective business on the date of such termination.

(c) Quarterly Reports. Within fifteen (15) days following the completion of each fiscal quarter of Buyer following the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a schedule setting forth a computation of the Contingent Consideration earned during such fiscal quarter and a copy of the financial information used in making such computation (each, a “Quarterly Report”).

(d) Determination of Contingent Consideration; Dispute Resolution. Within thirty (30) days following the completion of the Measurement Period, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a schedule (the “Computation Schedule”) setting forth the computation of the aggregate Contingent Consideration for the Measurement Period and a copy of the financial information used in making such computation (the “Measurement Period Report”). The Measurement Period Report shall be consistent with the Quarterly Reports for the periods covered by such Quarterly Reports. Buyer shall provide Sellers reasonable access to Buyer’s designated employees, books and records of Buyer as Sellers may reasonably request in order to verify such amounts. Buyer’s computation of any payment under this Section 2.12(d) shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto unless, within forty-five (45) days following Sellers’ receipt of the Measurement Period Report (the “Dispute Period”), Sellers notify Buyer in writing that they disagree with Buyer’s computation of the Contingent Consideration (a “Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice”).

If Sellers deliver a Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice to Buyer, the parties shall attempt in good faith to reach a resolution of such disagreement. If such disagreement is not resolved within thirty (30) days after delivery of Sellers’ Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice to Buyer, Independent Accountants agreed to by Buyer and Sellers shall be directed to compute the amount of the Contingent Consideration as promptly as practicable and such computation shall be binding upon the parties hereto. The expenses of such Independent Accountants in connection with the calculation of the Contingent Consideration in response to a Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice by Sellers shall be borne equally by Buyer and Sellers. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the amount of Contingent Consideration in dispute under Section 2.12 is or is reasonably likely to be more than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), either Sellers or Buyer may pursue a court action with respect to such claims in accordance with to Section 11.10.

(e) Final and Binding. If Sellers do not deliver to Buyer a Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice during the Dispute Period, the Computation Schedule shall be final and binding upon the termination of the Dispute Period. If Sellers deliver to Buyer a Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice during the Dispute Period, the Computation Schedule shall be final and binding at such time as Buyer and Sellers agree that the Computation Schedule shall be final and binding or, if Independent Accountants are engaged to resolve a dispute, upon a final and binding determination by such Independent Accountants.

(f) Payment.

(i) If the final and binding Contingent Consideration pursuant to Section 2.12(e) is greater than the final and binding Aggregate Severance Payment pursuant to Section 5.9(f), Buyer shall pay Sellers an amount equal to such Contingent Consideration less such Aggregate Severance Amount within twenty (20) days following the later of (x) the date the Contingent Consideration is final and binding pursuant to Section 2.12(e) or (y) the date the Aggregate Severance Amount is final and binding pursuant to Section 5.9(f), and Sellers shall have no obligation to make any further payments pursuant to Section 5.9. If the final and binding Contingent Consideration pursuant to Section 2.12(e) is less than the final and binding Aggregate Severance Amount pursuant to Section 5.9(f), Sellers shall pay Buyer an amount equal to such Aggregate Severance Amount less such Contingent Consideration within twenty (20) days following the later of (x) the date the Contingent Consideration is final and binding pursuant to Section 2.12(e) or (y) the date the Aggregate Severance Amount is final and binding pursuant to Section 5.9(f), and Buyer shall have no obligation to make any further payments pursuant to Section 2.12.

(ii) For purpose of this Agreement, “Severance Payment” shall mean any severance paid to a Terminated Employee that is required by an employment agreement with the Terminated Employee or applicable Law for any period of employment with Sellers prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Severance Payment shall not include any amount or severance liability that is payable as a result of, or that arises from, a Terminated Employee’s employment on or after the Closing Date.

(b) In the event Buyer terminates any Transferring Employee who is an IBM Business Employee (an “IBM Terminated Employee”) during the ninety (90) day period following the Closing Date (the “IBM Termination Deadline”), Buyer shall deliver to Sellers during the thirty (30) day period following the IBM Termination Deadline a notice (the “IBM Terminated Employee Notice”) setting forth the name of each such IBM Terminated Employee, the date on which each such IBM Terminated Employee was terminated and the amount of Severance Payment that was made to each such IBM Terminated Employee (individually and in the aggregate, the “IBM Severance Payment”).

(c) In the event Buyer terminates any Transferring Employee who is a Lenovo Business Employee (a “Lenovo Terminated Employee”) prior to the Lenovo Termination Deadline, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers during the thirty (30) day period following the Lenovo Termination Deadline a notice (the “Lenovo Terminated Employee Notice” and, together with the IBM Terminated Employee Notice, the “Terminated Employee Notice”) setting forth the name of each such Lenovo Terminated Employee, the date on which each such Lenovo Terminated Employee was terminated and the amount of Severance Payment that was made to each such Lenovo Terminated Employee (individually and in the aggregate, the “Lenovo Severance Payment” and, together with the IBM Severance Payment, the “Aggregate Severance Payment”).

(d) Buyer shall provide Sellers reasonable access to the officers, employees, books and records of Buyer as Sellers may reasonably request in order to verify the information in each Terminated Employee Notice and to verify whether any IBM Terminated Employee was rehired within the one year period following the Closing Date.

If Buyer disagrees with Sellers computation, the parties shall attempt in good faith to reach a resolution of such disagreement. If such disagreement is not resolved within thirty (30) days after delivery of Sellers’ notice, an independent arbitrator agreed to by Buyer and Sellers shall be directed to compute the amount of the Severance Payment as promptly as practicable and such computation shall be binding upon the parties hereto. The expenses of such independent arbitrator shall be borne equally by Buyer and Sellers. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the amount in dispute under clause 5.9 is or is reasonably likely to be more than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), either Sellers or Buyer may pursue a court action with respect to such claims in accordance with to Section 11.10.

5.11 Non-Solicitation Of Employees. Sellers agrees that during the period ending one year following the Closing Date, Sellers will not directly solicit or attempt to solicit any of the Transferring Employees to leave his or her employment with Buyer to become employed with Sellers other than with the written consent of the Buyer; provided, however, that (i) non-directed newspaper or internet help wanted advertisements and search firm engagements shall not be considered solicitations hereunder and (ii) the restrictions of this paragraph shall not apply to Sellers with respect to employees of Buyer that initiate contact with Sellers.

In the event a Phase I indicates there are no “Recognized Environmental Conditions”, no further work shall be required.

(b) In the event that a Phase I indicates a Recognized Environmental Condition, the Buyer and Seller shall mutually agree on the scope of work for a Phase II Environmental Assessment. Seller shall contract for the work and the terms of the engagement shall indicate that the results shall be certified to both Buyer and Seller (“Phase II”).

(c) Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall share equally the cost for the Phase I and Phase II.

(d) In the event either party seeks indemnity for any Environmental Claim involving environmental conditions on any of the Facilities under Sections 9.1(a), 9.1(b) or 9.2(a) hereof, such environmental conditions shall be deemed to be those demonstrated in the Environmental Baseline.

and expenses, net of insurance proceeds received or Tax benefits realized by the Buyer Indemnittee with respect thereto (collectively, “Damages”) suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee which is caused by, resulting from or arising out of:

(a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, or other agreement, certificate, instrument or other document entered into or delivered by the Sellers at the Closing in connection herewith (it being understood and agreed that solely for purposes of determining the amount of Damages for purposes of the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article IX, all qualifications as to “materiality,” and all “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications, contained in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded and have no force or effect);

subject to the Buyer Indemnitee’s right to make a claim for Damages in respect of such cost and expense if appropriate); provided, however, that Buyer shall not compromise or settle any such action, suit, proceeding, claim, liability or assessment without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the absence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation (a “Fraud Claim”), the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and Sellers with respect to, arising out of or resulting from the subject matter of this Agreement shall be restricted to the indemnification rights set forth in this Article IX.

9.5 Certain Limitations. The liability of Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, for claims under this Agreement shall be limited by the following:

(a) At any time after the applicable Survival Date for a representation and warranty, (i) Sellers shall have no further obligations under this Article IX for breaches of such representations and warranties of Sellers, except for Damages with respect to which Buyer Indemnitee has timely given Sellers written notice prior to such date in accordance with Sections 8.1 and 9.3 and (ii) Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Article IX for breaches of such representations and warranties of Buyer, except for Damages with respect to which Seller Indemnitee has given Buyer written notice prior to such date in accordance with Sections 8.1 and 9.3.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except with respect to Fraud Claims, any claim by a Buyer Indemnitee against Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(a) shall be payable by Sellers only in the event that Damages for any single breach of the representations, warranties and covenants exceeds Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) (the “Per Occurrence Threshold”) and the accumulated amount of Damages in respect of Sellers’ obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees under this Agreement shall exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate (the “Seller Indemnification Threshold”); provided, however, that at such time as the aggregate amount of Damages in respect of the indemnity obligations of Sellers shall exceed the Seller Indemnification Threshold, Seller shall thereafter be liable for all Damages suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees in excess of such Seller Indemnification Threshold, subject to the maximum aggregate liability cap set forth in Section 9.5(c) below. The foregoing notwithstanding, for purposes of determining the Per Occurrence Threshold, a breach of a representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.16 related to Inventory shall be considered a single breach if such breach arises from the same root cause even if such breach affects more than one item of Inventory.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except with respect to Fraud Claims (for which there shall be no limitation), in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of Sellers in respect of any claims by Buyer Indemnitees against Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(a) for Damages suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitees exceed Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000) of the value of the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.4).

(d) Except with respect to Fraud Claims, a Buyer Indemnitee’s right to make a claim for indemnification under Sections 9.1(b), 9.1(c), 9.1(d) and 9.1(e) shall expire with respect to such claims which are not made on or prior to the date five (5) years following the Closing Date.

(e) IN NO EVENT THAT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, AN EXCLUDED LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, INDEMNITY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER TORT. FURTHERMORE, ANY DAMAGES PURSUANT TO ARTICLE IX RELATED TO INVENTORIES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR SUCH INVENTORIES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
