ARTICLE II
TRANSFERRED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND TECHNOLOGY
2.1 Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights. Agilent agrees to, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to, grant, assign and convey to Verigy IP Sub the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights are transferred subject to the licenses granted to Agilent in Article IV below, the competitive restrictions in Article IX, and all other licenses granted under any such Intellectual Property Rights existing and in force as of the Distribution Date (subject to the terms and conditions contained in each such license agreement). The Transferred Intellectual Property Rights include all of Agilent's and its Subsidiaries' right, title and interest in and to any and all proceeds, causes of action and rights of recovery against Third Parties for past and future infringement or misappropriation of any of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights. The Parties shall execute an Intellectual Property Assignment in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit B, and Agilent shall cause its Subsidiaries to do so as appropriate, to document the transfer of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights. Verigy shall have the sole responsibility, at its sole cost and expense, to file the Intellectual Property Assignment and any other forms or documents as required to record the assignment of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights from Agilent and its Subsidiaries to Verigy IP Sub; provided however, that, upon request, Agilent shall provide reasonable assistance to Verigy to record the assignment, at Verigy's sole cost and expense. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of Transferred Intellectual Property Rights under this Section 2.1 shall transfer, assign and convey all of Agilent's and its Subsidiaries' rights, title and interest in and to the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights.
(a) Assignment of Transferred Trademarks. As part of the assignment of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights, Agilent hereby agrees to, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to, assign to Verigy IP Sub all right, title and interest in all countries worldwide in and to the Transferred Trademarks and any applications and registrations related thereto, including all common law trademark or trade name rights in such Transferred Trademarks, together with the goodwill of the business symbolized by such Transferred Trademarks.
2.2 Assignment of Intellectual Property Licenses. Agilent agrees to, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to, assign and convey to Verigy IP Sub, the Transferred Licenses, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of each Transferred License. Verigy acknowledges and agrees that it shall have sole responsibility to seek and obtain the consent of any Third Party necessary for the transfer of any of the Transferred Licenses, and shall bear sole responsibility for any consideration necessary for their transfer, provided however that upon request Agilent will provide reasonable assistance in obtaining such consent, at Verigy's (or its Subsidiaries') sole expense. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Transferred Licenses, upon the assignment and conveyance of the Transferred Licenses to Verigy IP Sub, Verigy IP Sub shall succeed to all of the rights and responsibilities of Agilent and Agilent's Subsidiaries under each such Transferred License, including any liabilities arising under such Transferred License prior to the date of such assignment and conveyance, which liabilities shall be the responsibility of Verigy and/or Verigy IP Sub.
2.3 Transfer of Business Technology. Agilent agrees to, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to, grant, assign and convey to Verigy IP Sub the Business Technology. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of the Business Technology does not include the transfer of any Intellectual Property Rights in or to the Business Technology; such Intellectual Property Rights are either transferred to Verigy IP Sub as Transferred Intellectual Property Rights in Section 2.1 above or are licensed to Verigy IP Sub in Section 3.1 below.

ARTICLE V
ADDITIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RELATED MATTERS
5.1 Assignments and Licenses. No Party may assign or grant a license under any of such Party's Intellectual Property Right which it has licensed to the other Party in Article III or IV above, unless such assignment or grant is made subject to the licenses granted herein.
5.2 Assistance By Employees. Each Party agrees that its employees and contractors have a continuing duty to assist the other Party with the prosecution of the other Party's Patent applications and, accordingly, each agrees to make available to the other Party or its counsel inventors and other reasonably necessary persons employed by it for interviews and/or testimony to assist in good faith in further prosecution, maintenance or litigation of such Patent applications, including the signing of documents related thereto. Any actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance shall be borne by the Party that owns the Patent application, expressly excluding the value of the time of each Party's personnel.
5.3 Inventor Compensation. Each Party will be responsible for providing inventor incentive compensation to its employees under its own internal policies. To the extent that a Party bases an inventor's incentive compensation on a Patent or a Patent application of the other Party, the Parties will reasonably cooperate by providing to each other relevant information about their Patents for which one or more inventors are employees of the other Party. To the extent that inventor compensation is specified by local law, such as in Germany and Japan, the Parties will cooperate in providing reasonable information to each other in order to enable each Party to calculate inventor compensation. No Party shall have any obligation to provide any inventor incentive compensation to an employee of the other Party except as required by law.
5.4 Assistance with Litigation. In the case of assistance with Third Party litigation pertaining to any of the Intellectual Property Rights transferred in Article II or licensed in Articles III or IV above, the Parties shall agree on a case by case basis on reasonable compensation, for the value of the non-litigating Party's employee's time as reasonably required in connection with any such litigation.
5.5 No Implied Licenses. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any rights by implication, estoppel or otherwise, under any Intellectual Property Rights, other than as expressly granted in this Agreement.
5.6 No Field Restrictions For Patent Licensing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Parties shall be free to grant licenses of any sort under any of their owned Verigy Patents or Agilent Patents (as the case may be) to any Third Party without restriction as to field of use.
5.7 No Obligation to Prosecute Patents. No Party shall have any obligation to seek, perfect or maintain any protection for any of its Intellectual Property Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Party shall have any obligation to file any Patent application, to prosecute any Patent or secure any Patent rights or to maintain any Patent in force. Agilent and Verigy will agree on a reasonable list of Patent families retained by Agilent but of interest to Verigy and Agilent will use good faith efforts to track those families in its patent management database and to offer to assign to Verigy IP Sub any granted patents in such families if Agilent decides to abandon or lapse such granted patent. Agilent's offer will be under reasonable conditions (including, for example, acknowledgement of prior third party rights, license back to Agilent without restriction as to field of use, and similar conditions consistent with this Agreement). Agilent's tracking and offer obligation is personal to Verigy IP Sub and will not extend to any successor in interest to Verigy IP Sub and, in any event, will expire five (5) years after the Separation Date unless Verigy IP Sub makes an annual written request to Agilent
8
thereafter to continue. For the avoidance of doubt, Agilent will have no liability for any failure to track, offer or assign any patent under this paragraph.
5.8 Reconciliation. In accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8 of the General Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that, as part of the transfer of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights, the Transferred Licenses and the Business Technology, Agilent or its Affiliates may inadvertently retain Technology or Intellectual Property Rights that should have been transferred to Verigy IP Sub pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, and Verigy IP Sub may inadvertently acquire Technology or Intellectual Property Rights that should not have been transferred. Each Party agrees to negotiate, in good faith the transfer to the other of any such later identified Technology or Intellectual Property Rights, subject to the licenses set forth in Articles III and IV above, at the reasonable written request of the other Party.
5.9 Technical Assistance. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any other mutually executed agreement between the Parties, no Party shall be required to provide the other Party with any technical assistance or to furnish any other Party with, or obtain on their behalf, any documents, materials or other information or Technology.
5.10 Third-Party Infringement. No Party shall have any obligation hereunder to institute or maintain any action or suit against Third Parties for infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights in or to any Technology licensed to the other Party hereunder, or to defend any action or suit brought by a Third Party which challenges or concerns the validity of any of such Intellectual Property Rights or which claims that any Technology licensed to the other Party hereunder infringes or constitutes a misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights of any Third Party. Each Party (the "Notifying Party") has the continuing obligation to promptly notify the other Party in writing upon learning of a Third Party likely infringing upon or misappropriating any Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party which are licensed to the Notifying Party in this Agreement. Such notification shall set forth in reasonable specificity the identity of the suspected infringing Third Party and the nature of the suspected infringement.
5.11 Trademark License. No licenses under the Trademarks of either Party are granted in Articles III or IV of this Agreement. Any such licenses are as stated in the Manufacturing Trademark License Agreement.

6.3 RF10X Trade Secrets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement, the term of Verigy's and Verigy IP Sub's confidentiality obligations with respect to the Trade Secrets contained within the RF10X IPR shall extend through July 31, 2012 unless stated otherwise in the RF10X Project Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII
TRANSFERABILITY AND ASSIGNMENT
8.1 No Assignment Or Transfer Without Consent(a). Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, no Party may assign or transfer any of the Intellectual Property Rights licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement, nor this Agreement as a whole, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the non-transferring Party. The non-transferring Party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, grant or withhold such consent. Any purported assignment or transfer without such consent shall be void and of no effect. Unless otherwise agreed in connection with consent to an assignment or transfer, no assignment or transfer made pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall release the transferring Party from any of its liabilities or obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 8.2, rather than this Section 8.1, shall apply to any assignment, transfer or sublicensing of the Intellectual Property licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement, or this Agreement as a whole, in connection with a Change Of Control.
10
8.2 Change Of Control.
(a) No Party (nor their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates) may assign, sublicense or transfer any of the Intellectual Property Rights licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement, nor this Agreement as a whole, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to a Third Party in connection with a Change of Control without the prior written consent of the non-transferring Party. The non-transferring Party may not unreasonably withhold its consent unless, in its sole and absolute discretion, it reasonably determines that the Third Party (including any Affiliate of the Third Party) is substantially engaged in business activities within the non-transferring Party's Primary Field. Any purported assignment or transfer without such consent shall be void and of no effect.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2(a) above, in the event that a Party engages in a Change Of Control involving a Third Party that is (or if any Affiliate or Subsidiary of such Third Party is) engaged in, or becomes engaged in, litigation, arbitration or other formal dispute resolution proceeding with a non-transferring Party covering Patent infringement (pending in any court, tribunal or administrative agency, or before any appointed or agreed upon arbitrator in any jurisdiction worldwide) at the time that the assignment or transfer occurs, or within one hundred twenty-one days thereafter if the proceedings are initiated by the acquiring Third Party, then the licenses transferred to the Third Party will be immediately terminable by the non-transferring Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, upon notice to the transferring Party.
8.3 Sale of Part of Business.
(a) If any Party (the "Transferring Party"), after the Distribution Date, transfers a going business (but not all or substantially all of such Party's business or assets), and such transfer includes at least one marketable product and tangible assets having a net value of at least ten million U.S. dollars ($10,000,000), regardless of whether such transfer is part of (i) an asset sale to any Third Party, (ii) a sale of shares or securities in an Affiliate to a Third Party such that (A) the Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate and (B) the Third Party owns at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares or securities representing the right to vote for the election of directors or other managing authority, or (iii) a sale of shares or securities in an Affiliate of a Party such that (A) the Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate and (B) no single Third Party owns at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares or securities representing the right to vote for the election of directors or other managing authority of such ex-Affiliate; then, upon the joint written request of the Transferring Party and the Transferee (as defined below) to the other Party (the "Non-Transferring Party") at the closing of the transfer or as soon as practicable thereafter, but not later than sixty (60) days following the closing of the transfer, the Non-Transferring Party shall grant a royalty-free license to the Transferee under the same terms as the license granted to the Transferring Party under this Agreement subject to all of the following conditions and restrictions:
(i) the effective date of such license shall be the closing date of such transfer,
(ii) the products, services and processes of the Transferee that are subject to such license shall be limited to the products, services and processes of the transferred Affiliate or the products, services and processes in the transferred business that are commercially released or for which substantial steps have been taken to commercialization as of the closing date of the transfer by the Transferring Party, and for new versions of such products, services and processes,
(iii) the Intellectual Property Rights of the Non-Transferring Party that are subject to such license shall be limited to Intellectual Property Rights licensed pursuant to Articles III or IV above, as the case may be,
(iv) the Transferee shall have no right to grant sublicenses except that the Transferee shall have the right to grant sublicenses to any Person at least eighty percent (80%) of whose outstanding shares or securities representing the right to vote for the election of directors or other
11
managing authority are, directly or indirectly, owned by the Transferee ("Transferee Subsidiaries"), only for so long as such ownership exists, and the license to be granted by the Non-Transferring Party to the Transferee pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall not contain this provision or a provision containing terms comparable to this Section 8.3; and
(v) the Transferee shall grant to the Non-Transferring Party a royalty-free license under the same terms as the licenses granted to the Non-Transferring Party by the Transferring Party in Articles III and IV of this Agreement (as the case may be), such license (A) to be effective as of the closing date of the transfer, (B) to apply to all the products, services and processes of the Non-Transferring Party that are subject to the license from the Transferring Party to the Non-Transferring Party as of the closing date of the transfer, and (C) to include all Intellectual Property Rights of the Transferee (other than design patents) that are entitled to a First Effective Filing Date on or before the closing date of such transfer and under which, at any time commencing with the closing date of the transfer, the Transferee or any of the Transferee Subsidiaries has ownership or control or otherwise has the right to grant such license without the obligation to pay royalties or other consideration to Third Parties;
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no Party, as a Non-Transferring Party, shall have any obligation to enter into a license with any Transferee that the Non-Transferring Party reasonably determines to be a competitive threat for the Non-Transferring Party, unless the Non-Transferring Party in its sole discretion determines that the terms of such license provide sufficient protection for the Licensed Agilent IPR or Licensed Verigy IPR, as the case may be, and (ii) in the event that the Non-Transferring Party and the Transferee are engaged in litigation, arbitration or other formal dispute resolution proceedings covering Patent infringement (pending in any court, tribunal, or administrative agency or before any appointed or agreed upon arbitrator in any jurisdiction worldwide), then the Non-Transferring Party shall have no obligation to enter into a license with the Transferee under this Section 8.3.
(c) Each of Agilent and its Affiliates on the one hand, and Verigy IP Sub and its Affiliates on the other hand, may exercise its rights as the Transferring Party under this Section 8.3 no more than eight (8) times unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Non-Transferring Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, however, in any license granted by a Non-Transferring Party to a Transferee under this Section 8.3, the Transferring Party may elect to relinquish its license under this Agreement in the field of use covered by the license granted to the Transferee, and such license shall not count toward the limit. In making such election, the Transferring Party shall promptly notify the Non-Transferring Party, and the Transferring Party and the Non-Transferring party shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement with such effect.
(d) As used above in this Section 8.3, "Transferee" in the case of Sections 8.3(a)(i) and (ii) means the Third Party acquiring the going business or eighty percent (80%) of the Subsidiary and in the case of Section 8.3(a)(iii) means the ex-Subsidiary only.
