Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Buyer shall assume, effective as of the Closing, and shall pay, perform and discharge when due, any and all obligations, liabilities and commitments of the Seller of any nature, whether known or unknown, express or implied, primary or secondary, direct or indirect, liquidated, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due, in each case to the extent arising out of and relating to the Transferred Loans, on and after the Closing (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”).
2.3 Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price (including the Assumed Liabilities) shall be allocated among (i) the Shares and (ii) the Transferred Loans, as set forth on Exhibit G. In the event an adjustment to the Purchase Price is made pursuant to Section 2.4 or otherwise under this Agreement, the allocation of the Purchase Price (including Assumed Liabilities) shall be revised to allocate such adjustment to the Shares, or the Transferred Loans, as the case may be, based upon the item to which such adjustment is attributable.

The balance sheet prepared in accordance with the foregoing is referred to as the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet.” The Seller shall also prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Buyer a worksheet showing the
-12-
SC1:4515121.14
difference, if any, between the Net Working Capital shown on the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) and the Net Working Capital Threshold.
(ii) The amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Threshold is referred to herein as the “Estimated Buyer Working Capital Payment”. The amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital Threshold exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital is referred to herein as the “Estimated Seller Working Capital Payment”.
(b) Final Net Working Capital Adjustment Procedures.
(i) Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, which balance sheet will be prepared in the same manner as the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Final Closing Date Balance Sheet”), together with a worksheet showing the difference, if any, between the Net Working Capital shown on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Final Net Working Capital”) and the Estimated Net Working Capital; provided that Buyer shall be entitled to take into account in its preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet any Inventory that has expired or is missing based on any stock counts performed in good faith by Buyer. From and after delivery of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, Buyer shall provide the Seller and its authorized representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the facilities, books and records, personnel and accountants of the Company.
(ii) For thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Seller shall have the right to object thereto. Any such objection made by the Seller shall be accompanied by materials showing in reasonable detail the Seller’s support for its position. The Seller shall be deemed to have waived any rights to object to the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet unless the Seller furnishes its written objections, together with supporting materials, to Buyer within such thirty (30) day period. Buyer and the Seller shall meet to resolve any differences in their respective positions with respect to the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet. If Buyer and the Seller are unable to agree on the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of the Seller’s written objections, then PricewaterhouseCoopers (or such other independent accounting firm of recognized international standing as may be mutually selected by Buyer and the Seller) shall resolve any remaining disagreements. If neither PricewaterhouseCoopers nor any such mutually selected accounting firm is willing and able to serve in such capacity, then each of the Seller and the Buyer shall select an accounting firm of recognized national standing in the United States and such two accounting firms shall mutually agree and select the third accounting firm of recognized international standing (such firm as is ultimately selected pursuant to the aforementioned procedures being the
-13-
SC1:0000000.14
“Accountant”). The Seller and Buyer shall execute any agreement reasonably required by the Accountant for its engagement hereunder. The Accountant shall be charged with determining as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which such dispute is referred to the Accountant, whether Final Net Working Capital and the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet were prepared in accordance with this Agreement and (only with respect to the disagreements as to the items set forth in the notice of disagreement and submitted to the Accountant and any other items affected by the resolution of those disputed items) whether and to what extent, if any, Final Net Working Capital and the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet require adjustment. The Accountant shall allocate its costs and expenses between Buyer and the Seller based upon the percentage of the contested amount submitted to the Accountant that is ultimately awarded to Buyer on the one hand or the Seller on the other hand, such that Buyer bears a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to the Seller and the Seller bears a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to Buyer. If there is no timely objection as provided above, the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet as determined by Buyer shall be binding and final for purposes of this Agreement. If there is a timely objection as provided above, the determination of the Accountant, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall be binding and final for purposes of this Agreement.
(iii) The difference between the Final Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital shall be referred to as the “Working Capital Difference”. Within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet as set forth in this Section 2.4(b)(iii), Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Working Capital Difference, if the Working Capital Difference is a positive number, and the Seller shall pay an amount to Buyer equal to the Working Capital Difference, if the Working Capital Difference is a negative number. Such amounts shall be paid, in immediately available funds, pursuant to the instructions previously delivered by Buyer or the Seller, as applicable. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(iii) shall, for tax purposes, be deemed to be an adjustment to the consideration payable to the Seller. The Seller and Buyer understand that the original currency of the Working Capital Difference is in NT$ and have agreed that such amount shall be paid in United States dollars using the agreed foreign exchange rate of 0.03333 United States dollars per NT$ 1.00.
2.5 Holdback.
(a) The Holdback Amount shall be available to satisfy any indemnity claims made by, and Finally Determined in favor of, the Buyer Indemnified Parties prior to the Release Date pursuant to Article X.
-14-
SC1:4515121.14
(b) On the date that is fifteen months after the Closing Date (the “Release Date”), Buyer shall release the then remaining Holdback Amount, if any, to the Seller in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller; provided, that, to the extent there are any pending and unresolved claims for indemnification under Article X for which written notice has been timely provided to the Seller in accordance with Section 10.5(i) and Buyer has filed a claim with the appropriate court in accordance with Section 11.4(b) in respect of such claim, a portion of the Holdback Amount in an amount equal to such pending and unresolved claims, which amount shall be estimated and determined in good faith by Buyer (such amount, the “Unreleased Amount”), shall be retained by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement until a Final Determination of the amount of Loss relating to such claims. If any such pending and unresolved claim is resolved in favor of the Seller, then Buyer shall pay to the Seller, as hereinabove provided, an amount equal to the Unreleased Amount plus the interest accrued on such Unreleased Amount from and including the Release Date to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. In the event that Buyer and the Seller have agreed in writing that (i) a specified amount shall be retained by Buyer in connection with a pending and unresolved claim and (ii) the Seller waives the requirement in this Section 2.5(b) that Buyer is obligated to file a claim with the appropriate court in accordance with Section 11.4(b) in respect of such claim, then such retained amount shall not be subject to the aforementioned interest payment.
(c) If Buyer fails to release the remaining Holdback Amount on the Release Date (other than pursuant to a claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(b)), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the MSA, the Seller shall have the right to terminate the MSA in Contract Years 2 and/or 3 without the payment of any termination fee (including the termination fee set forth in Section 11.4(b) or 11.4(c) of the MSA), and such termination shall be effective immediately upon the date of such termination notice.

(a) From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 10.2, the Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates, each in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from, against and in respect of any Losses suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party, in each case net of any actual benefit, arising out of or relating to:

-43-
SC1:4515121.14
of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure timely to give a Claim Notice shall affect the rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder only to the extent that such failure has an adverse effect on the resolution or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnified Party shall participate in any such defense at its expense unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and counsel of the Indemnifying Party has identified a non-waivable conflict or actual differing interests between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (ii) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third Party Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of Section 10.4(c), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one separate counsel to the extent such Third Party Claim is subject to indemnification or reimbursement under Sections 10.2 or 10.3. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iii) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party (i) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise or (ii) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense and shall consult with the Indemnifying Party regarding the strategy for defense of such claim, including with respect to the Indemnified Party’s choice of legal counsel, it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying
-44-
SC1:4515121.14
Party shall have no liability with respect to a Third Party Claim settled without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third Party Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents and employees, it being understood that the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party relating thereto shall be considered Losses. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall keep each other fully informed with respect to the status of such Third Party Claim.
(e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.
(f) Each of Buyer and the Seller hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Third Party Claim is brought for purposes of any claim for indemnification or reimbursement with respect to such Third Party Claim or the matters alleged therein.
10.5 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Person shall be liable under this Article X for any consequential, punitive, special, exemplary, incidental or indirect damages, including lost profits or diminution in value. No “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or other valuation methodology shall be used in calculating the amount of any Losses unless such Losses were awarded to a third party pursuant to a Third Party Claim.
(b) Mitigation. Each Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate any indemnifiable Loss to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article X. In the event an Indemnified Party fails to so mitigate an indemnifiable Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any portion of such Loss that reasonably could have been avoided had the Indemnified Party made such efforts.
(c) Insurance. In calculating the amount of any Loss, the proceeds received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, in each case relating to the Third Party Claim or a claim for indemnification hereunder for a Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), shall be deducted; it being understood that the Indemnified Party shall seek to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement. In the event that an Indemnified Party has any rights against a third party with respect to any occurrence, claim or loss that results in a payment by an
-45-
SC1:4515121.14
Indemnifying Party under this Article X, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such payment; provided, that until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of the Loss related to any such Direct Claim, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims.
(d) Financial Statements. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Losses arising from a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein (and the amount of any Losses incurred in respect of such breach shall not be included in the calculation of any limitations on indemnification set forth herein) to the extent such Losses are specifically accrued or reserved for in the Financial Statements.
(e) Taxes. In calculating the amount of any Loss, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any Tax benefit actually realized (including the utilization of a Tax loss or Tax credit carried forward) as a result of such Loss by the Party claiming such Loss.
(f) Reimbursement. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of the Loss.
(g) Contingent Losses. No Indemnifying Party shall have any liability for an otherwise indemnifiable Loss that is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual Loss of the Indemnified Party and is due and payable, so long as the claim for such Loss was timely submitted pursuant to the provisions of this Article X.
(h) Changes in Law. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any Loss to the extent arising from (A) a change in accounting or taxation law, policy or practice made after the Closing, other than a change required to comply with any law, policy or practice in effect on the date hereof, or (B) any Law not in force on the date hereof or any change in Law which takes effect retroactively or occurs as a result of any increase in the rates of taxation in force on the date hereof.
(i) Claim Procedures. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any otherwise indemnifiable Loss arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such party unless a claim therefore is asserted with specificity and in writing by the Indemnified Party timely in accordance with this Article X, failing which such claim shall be waived and extinguished.
-46-
SC1:4515121.14
(j) Purchase Price Adjustment. In calculating the amount of any Loss for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the amount of any reserve or other negative provision reflected in the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet related to such Loss shall be deducted.
10.6 Payments.
(a) If a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from the Seller under this Article X, then such Losses shall first be satisfied from the Holdback Amount, and no amount shall be recovered by Buyer pursuant to this Article X unless and until the Holdback Amount has been exhausted or released pursuant to Section 2.5.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Article X, in immediately available funds, to an account specified by the Indemnified Party following receipt from an Indemnified Party of a xxxx, together with all accompanying reasonably detailed supporting documentation, for a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes the Loss, in which event it shall so notify the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder, in immediately available funds, to an account specified by the Indemnified Party no later than three (3) days following any Final Determination of such Loss and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor. A “Final Determination” shall exist, or a claim shall be “Finally Determined”, when (a) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing, (b) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable Order or judgment or (c) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party more than once in respect of the same Loss or series of Losses.
10.7 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. All payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to Sections 10.2 or 10.3 hereof shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration paid pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for Tax purposes.
10.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of Fraud, if the Closing occurs, this Article X shall provide the sole and exclusive remedies arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies available in this Article X following the Closing supersede any other remedies available at law or in equity including rights of rescission and claims arising under applicable Law. The Parties covenant not to xxx, assert any arbitration claim or otherwise threaten any claim following the Closing other than those described in this Article X as being available under the particular circumstances described in this Article X.
