INTEL ASSET TRANSFER AGREEMENT
THIS INTEL ASSET TRANSFER AGREEMENT (the “Intel Asset Transfer Agreement” and, as
referred to herein, this “Agreement”), dated as of March 30, 2008, is by and between Intel
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Intel”), Numonyx Holdings B.V., a company with
limited liability organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Holdings”), and Numonyx
B.V., a company with limited liability organized under the laws of The Netherlands and wholly owned
subsidiary of Holdings (“Numonyx”). Intel, Holdings and Numonyx are sometimes referred to
herein as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.”
A. Intel desires to transfer, and to cause certain of its Affiliates to transfer (Intel and
such Affiliates, collectively, the “Intel Transferors”) to Holdings and its Affiliates, and
Holdings desires to acquire, and to cause its Affiliates to acquire, from Intel and such Intel
Affiliates, the Intel Transferred Assets in consideration for the Intel Consideration on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
B. Intel, ST and the FP Parties entered into that certain Amended and Restated Master
Agreement, dated March 30, 2008, that provides, among other things, for the simultaneous
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the ST Asset Contribution
Agreement, the FP Purchase Agreement and the Note Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in such agreements and the Master Agreement.
C. On the Closing Date, and subject to the Closing, Intel Singapore will purchase and accept
from Holdings the Intel Notes, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Note Agreement.
D. On the Closing Date, and subject to the Closing, Intel Singapore will exercise the Intel
Option, on the terms and conditions set forth therein.
E. Holdings, through one or more of its Affiliates, desires to use the proceeds from the
purchase of the Intel Notes and the exercise of the Intel Option to purchase the Intel Transferred
Assets on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
F. The Parties intend that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the transfer of the
Intel Transferred Assets and issuance of the Intel Consideration, as contemplated by this
Agreement, be treated as described on Schedule 2.6 to the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein,
the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE II
TRANSFER OF ASSETS
TRANSFER OF ASSETS
2.1 Intel Transferred Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, at the Closing, Holdings (or, to the extent
indicated on Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, a Subsidiary of Holdings)
shall acquire from the Intel Transferors, and Intel shall transfer, assign and convey to Holdings
(or, to the extent indicated on Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, a
Subsidiary of Holdings), or cause to be transferred, assigned and conveyed by the other Intel
Transferors to Holdings (or a Subsidiary of Holdings, in each case, as set forth on Schedule
2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter), free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted
Liens, all right, title and interest of the Intel Transferors in, to and under the following
assets, as the same shall exist at the Effective Time, after giving effect to any changes therein
pursuant to Sections 4.9 and 4.12 of the Master Agreement (subject to the ultimate
paragraph hereof with respect to assets transferred, assigned and conveyed to an Intel Transferred
Entity prior to the Closing) (collectively, the “Intel Transferred Assets”):
(a) the Intel Equipment;
(b) the Intel Transferred Purchase Orders;
(c) the Intel Transferred Sales Orders, including any rights that Intel or any
Subsidiary of Intel may have in any Post-Closing Accounts Receivable of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries or the Intel Business (including those of the Intel Transferred Entities);
(d) the Intel Transferred Real Property;
(e) the Intel Transferred Contracts;
(f) the Intel Prepayments;
(g) the Intel Transferred Patents;
(h) the Intel Transferred Trade Secrets;
7
(i) the Intel Transferred Copyrights;
(j) the Intel Transferred Trademarks;
(k) the Intel Transferred Permits;
(l) the Intel Books and Records;
(m) the Intel Transferred Interests;
(n) the Intel Transferred Inventory;
(o) the Intel Transferred Claims;
(p) the Intel Transferred Entity Books and Records;

of the Master Agreement;
provided that in no event shall the Intel Transferred Assets include any Intel Excluded Asset.
The Intel Transferred Intellectual Property shall be subject to any (i) licenses retained by
Intel or its Affiliates or granted to Intel or its Affiliates pursuant to any Intel Ancillary
Agreement, (ii) licenses and Contracts with use restrictions existing on the date hereof granted to
or by Intel or its Subsidiaries and (iii) licenses and Contracts with use restrictions entered into

prior to the Closing Date. The Intel Transferred Intellectual Property may be further obligated
(either prior to the date of the Master Agreement or in the ordinary course of business between
such date and the Closing Date) to be non-exclusively licensed as a result of Intel’s or its
Affiliate’s participation in various Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Standard Definition
Organizations (SDOs), and similar organizations which may impose obligations to non-exclusively
license Intel Transferred Intellectual Property to third parties. To the extent that Intel is
required to ensure that successors with respect to the Intel Transferred Patents assume such
obligations to license, Holdings hereby assumes such obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Intel Transferred Asset owned by an Intel
Transferred Entity at the Effective Time, in lieu of transferring such Intel Transferred Asset,
Intel shall transfer, assign and convey, or cause another Intel Transferor to transfer, assign and
convey, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, all of the outstanding equity
interests of such Intel Transferred Entity, which interests shall be included in the Intel
Transferred Interests.
8
2.2 Intel Excluded Assets. Holdings, Numonyx and Intel expressly understand and agree
that all assets of Intel and its Subsidiaries other than the Intel Transferred Assets
(collectively, the “Intel Excluded Assets”), shall be excluded from the Intel Transferred
Assets, including, but not limited to:
(a) all assets, tangible or intangible, real or personal, that are not specifically
identified under Section 2.1, including all of Intel’s Intellectual Property other
than the Intel Transferred Intellectual Property;
(b) all Contracts that are not Intel Transferred Contracts;
(c) all Prepayments of Intel associated with Contracts that are not Intel Transferred
Contracts or other obligations not assumed by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries;
(d) all Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable of Intel and its Subsidiaries;
(e) all Cash and Cash Equivalents of Intel and its Subsidiaries;
(f) all bank accounts of Intel and its Subsidiaries, other than bank accounts of the
Intel Transferred Entities;
(g) all Intel Employee Plans;
(h) all Intel Excluded Claims;
(i) all rights to or claims for refunds or credits of Taxes (including penalties) paid
by Intel or any of its Subsidiaries, or any member of any consolidated, affiliated, combined

respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period paid by the Intel Transferred Entities or Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries;
(j) all rights, properties, and assets which have been used in the Intel Business and
which shall have been transferred (including transfers by way of sale), licensed or
otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business (other than to Intel or any
Subsidiary of Intel) prior to the Effective Time and not in violation of the terms of this
Agreement or Section 4.9 of the Master Agreement;
(k) except as expressly provided in Section 2.1(q), all enterprise software,
database management systems and networks of Intel or its Subsidiaries, including all sales
management, engineering, materials, business planning, manufacturing, logistics, finance and
accounting systems utilized by the Intel Business;
(l) the minute books, stock ledgers, accounting records, Tax Returns and others records
relating to Taxes, in each case of Intel or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Intel
Transferred Entities), other than the Intel Books and Records;
9
(m) internal reports relating to the business activities of Intel and its Subsidiaries
that are not Intel Transferred Assets;
(n) insurance policies and rights, claims or causes of action thereunder, including
Claims which Intel or any of its Affiliates may have under any insurance contracts or
policies insuring the Intel Transferred Assets;
(o) all of the assets specifically identified on Schedule 2.2(o) of the Intel
ATA Disclosure Letter; and
(p) any asset of the Intel Transferred Entities that is not an Intel Transferred Asset.
On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Closing, each Intel Transferred Entity holding
Intel Excluded Assets shall transfer, assign and convey all of its right, title and interest in and
to such Intel Excluded Assets, including any and all intercompany Accounts Receivable of such Intel
Transferred Entity, to Intel or a Subsidiary of Intel designated by Intel, such that no Intel
Transferred Entity shall hold any Intel Excluded Asset as of the Closing Date.
2.3 Intel Transferred Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement and the Intel Ancillary Agreements, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties,
effective at the Effective Time (or, with respect to Section 2.3(d), the Intel Employee
Transfer Date), Holdings (or, to the extent indicated on Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA
Disclosure Letter, a Subsidiary of Holdings) shall assume, and shall fully pay, perform, fulfill
and discharge when due, the following Liabilities of Intel or its Subsidiaries, it being understood
that certain of the Liabilities set forth below may be a Liability of an Intel Transferred Entity,
the interests in which are transferred to Holdings (or a Subsidiary of Holdings as indicated on

(a) all Liabilities under or arising out of the Intel Transferred Contracts that are
required to be paid or performed on and after the Effective Time;

the extent otherwise allocated to Intel pursuant to Section 5.8 or as described in
clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 6.2(g) and (y) otherwise allocated to Holdings,
pursuant to Section 5.8;
(f) the Intel Post-Closing Product Obligations; and
10
(g) all Intel Post-Closing Environmental Liabilities;
provided that in no event shall the Intel Transferred Liabilities include any Intel Excluded
Liability.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Intel Transferred Liability owed by an
Intel Transferred Entity at the Effective Time, in lieu of the assumption by Holdings or a
Subsidiary of Holdings of such Intel Transferred Liability from such Intel Transferred Entity, such
Intel Transferred Liability shall be retained at the Effective Time by such Intel Transferred
Entity, and Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings shall, or shall cause such Intel Transferred
Entity, or successor thereto, to pay or otherwise satisfy and discharge such Intel Transferred
Liability on a timely basis after the Effective Time.
2.4 Intel Excluded Liabilities. Except for those Liabilities expressly assumed by

(c) all Pre-Closing Accounts Payable of Intel and its Subsidiaries;
(d) any and all Liabilities under Intel Employee Plans and Intel Employee Agreements,
including any Liabilities arising in connection with any change-in-control or similar

contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including any retention
bonus, stay bonus or similar payment (other than the Intel Transferred Employee Payment
Liabilities, the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amounts, or those Liabilities assumed by
Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings pursuant to Section 5.11(c));
(e) any Liabilities or obligations with respect to the Intel Business Employees
including the Intel Transferred Employees that arise prior to Intel Employee Liability Date
(other than the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities, the Intel Funded

Holdings pursuant to Section 5.11(c));
11
(f) except as otherwise set forth in the Intel Secondment Agreement, any Liabilities or

Schedule 3.7 and the claims against Intel or its Subsidiaries set forth in
Schedule 3.11 to the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, in each case, to the extent
arising or accruing prior to the Effective Time, but in any event not including any
Liability to the extent arising or accruing after the Effective Time.
On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Closing, Intel, or a Subsidiary of Intel
designated by Intel and reasonably acceptable to Holdings shall assume, and shall thereafter pay,
perform, fulfill and discharge when due any Intel Excluded Liability of each Intel Transferred
Entity, including any and all Indebtedness of, and intercompany Accounts Payable to, Intel and its
Subsidiaries, pursuant to assumption of liability agreements in a form to be mutually agreed
between Intel and Holdings (each, an “Intel Entity Assignment and Assumption of Excluded Assets
and Excluded Liabilities Agreement”).
2.5 Assignment of Contracts and Rights; Delivery of Intel Equipment.
(a) Assignment of Contracts and Rights.
(i) Anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Intel
Transferred Contract, Intel Transferred Permit, or other Intel Transferred Asset, or any
claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment
thereof, without the consent of a party thereto or the receipt of any Governmental Approvals
or the satisfaction of any other requirement applicable to such assignment, would constitute
a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way result in the loss of any material
benefit under, or any material modification to, the rights of
Holdings, any of Holdings’ Subsidiaries, Intel or any of Intel’s Subsidiaries
thereunder. Intel and Holdings will use commercially reasonable efforts (but without any
payment of money by Intel) to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Intel
Transferred Contract, Intel Transferred Permit or other Intel Transferred Asset or any
claim, right or
12
benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Holdings or a
Subsidiary of Holdings as Holdings may reasonably request; provided, however, that except as
provided in Section 2.5 of the Intel Intellectual Property Agreement with respect to
the sublicensing of certain Third Party Claims to Holdings, Intel shall have no obligation
to transfer or assign any license of any Intellectual Property other than the Intel
Transferred Intellectual Property or any licenses granted by Intel in connection with the
sale, distribution and license of the Intel Products in the ordinary course of business that
are not Intel Transferred Contracts. Subject to the obligations of Intel set forth in
Section 5.6, Section 4.3 of the Master Agreement, Section 2.6 of the
Intel Intellectual Property Agreement, the Intel Transition Services Agreement, the Intel
Supply Agreement and the Intel Pudong Services Agreement, Holdings and Numonyx agree that
Intel shall not have any liability to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of or
relating to the failure to obtain any such consent or to satisfy any other such requirement
that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
the Intel Ancillary Agreements or because of any circumstances resulting from any such
failure; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5(a) is intended to
affect Intel’s representation in Section 3.8(b) regarding Intel Contractual
Consents.
(ii) If any such consent is not obtained, or any such other requirement is not
satisfied, prior to the Closing and as a result thereof Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall
be prevented by such third party from receiving the rights and benefits with respect to such
Intel Transferred Contract, Intel Transferred Permit or other Intel Transferred Asset
intended to be transferred hereunder, or if any attempted assignment intended to be effected
hereunder, at such time as such Intel Transferred Contract, Intel Transferred Permit or
other Intel Transferred Asset is intended to be transferred pursuant to the Transactions
Documents, whether at Closing or otherwise, would adversely affect the rights of Intel or
any of its Subsidiaries thereunder so that Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings would not in
fact receive all such rights or Intel or any of its Subsidiaries would forfeit or otherwise
lose the benefit of rights that Intel or any such Subsidiary is entitled to retain, Intel
and Holdings shall cooperate to discuss, determine and implement in good faith a mutually
agreeable reasonable arrangement to the extent practicable, under which (A) Holdings or a
Subsidiary of Holdings would obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under such
asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations with respect thereto in accordance
with this Agreement, including potentially by subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to
Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings (but not more extensive than the existing rights of
Intel and its Subsidiaries with respect to the Intel Business), or (B) Intel would enforce
for the benefit of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, with Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings
assuming Intel’s obligations, any and all rights of Intel and its Subsidiaries against a
third party thereto; provided, that Holdings shall or shall cause its Subsidiaries to
reimburse Intel for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are imposed on Intel and any
of its Subsidiaries in bearing such economic burdens and obligations that otherwise would
have been borne by Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings if the applicable asset had been
transferred to Holdings or a Subsidiary of
Holdings at the Effective Time. Holdings and Numonyx agree that neither Intel nor any of
its Subsidiaries shall have any liability to Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings arising
out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent, and no condition set forth in
the Master Agreement, other than the conditions set forth in Section 5.1(f) and
13
Section 5.2(f) shall be deemed not satisfied, as a result of (x) the failure to
obtain any such consent or any circumstances resulting therefrom or (y) any suit, action or
proceeding commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating
to the failure to obtain any such consent or any circumstances resulting therefrom;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5(b) is intended to affect Intel’s
representation in Section 3.8(b) regarding Intel Contractual Consents.
(iii) No other rights are granted hereunder, by implication, estoppel, statute or
otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any other Transaction
Document.
(b) Delivery of Intel Equipment.
(i) At the time that physical possession of Intel Equipment is delivered to Holdings or
one of its Subsidiaries, or promptly thereafter, whether at Closing or otherwise, Intel
shall deliver to Holdings a certificate of delivery that identifies the Intel Equipment to
which Intel or one its Subsidiaries is delivering physical possession (a “Delivery
Certificate”).
(ii) The Delivery Certificate shall be binding on Holdings and its Subsidiaries and the
Intel Equipment shall be deemed to have been physically delivered and accepted by Holdings
and its Subsidiaries unless Holdings presents to Intel a written notice of disagreement
which specifies, in reasonable detail, any Intel Equipment not so delivered, within 10
Business Days after the date that the relevant Delivery Certificate has been delivered.
(iii) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a notice of disagreement with
the Delivery Certificate, Intel and Holdings shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing
any differences which they may have with respect to the delivery of Intel Equipment.
2.6 Consideration The consideration payable at the Closing by Holdings and its
Affiliates to Intel and the other Intel Transferors for the Intel Transferred Assets shall consist
of:
(a) 101,427,831 Ordinary Shares of Holdings, reduced by the number of Intel Option
Shares (the “Intel Holdings Shares”). For purposes of clarification, if Intel
Signapore exercised the Intel Option in full, pursuant to the terms therein, the number of
Intel Holdings Shares issued hereunder in exchange for Intel Transferred Assets shall be
zero;
(b) the consideration paid by Intel Singapore for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Intel
Option (the “Intel Option Exercise Cash”), and (ii) the amount of the consideration
paid by Intel Singapore to purchase the Intel Notes pursuant to the Note
Agreement (the “Intel Note Purchase Cash”, and such amount, together with the
Intel Option Exercise Cash, the “Intel Aggregate Cash”);
(c) the assumption by Holdings and certain of its Subsidiaries of the Intel Transferred
Liabilities being assumed by Holdings and such Subsidiaries (together with
14
the Intel
Holdings Shares (if any) and the Intel Aggregate Cash, the “Intel Consideration”).
The Intel Consideration shall be allocated among Intel and the other Intel Transferors as
described in Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter (as such allocation shall be
determined pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Master Agreement and delivered by Intel to
Holdings within 30 days following the Closing Date), and shall be treated as having been paid by
Holdings on behalf of certain of its Subsidiaries also as provided in Schedule 2.6 of the
Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, which Schedule 2.6 shall be prepared in a manner consistent
with the Third Party Appraisal. Each of the Parties hereto agrees to report the transactions
contemplated hereby for U.S. federal, state and foreign Tax purposes in accordance with such
allocation of the Intel Consideration and as set forth on such schedule. Intel shall prepare
Schedule 2.6 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter subject to Holdings’ approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
2.7 Minimum Inventory.
(a) Promptly after the Closing Date, Intel will prepare and present to Holdings a
statement in reasonable detail of the Intel Inventory Value as of the end of Intel’s first
fiscal quarter of 2007 and as of the Effective Time (the “Preliminary Intel Inventory
Statement”). The Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement shall be delivered to Holdings
no later than 90 days after the Closing Date.
(b) Holdings and its accountants shall have the right to review the work papers of
Intel and its accountants utilized in preparing the Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement
and shall have full access to the books, records, properties and personnel of Intel for
purposes of verifying the accuracy and fairness of the presentation of the Intel Inventory
Value in the Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement. The Preliminary Intel Inventory
Statement shall be binding on Holdings and its Subsidiaries, unless Holdings presents to
Intel written notice of disagreement with the Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement
(“Intel Notice of Disagreement”) within 150 days after the Closing Date specifying
in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the disagreement.
(c) During the 30-day period following the delivery of an Intel Notice of Disagreement,
Intel and Holdings shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they
may have with respect to any amount specified in the Intel Notice of Disagreement. If
Holdings and Intel are unable to resolve any such disagreement within 30 days after Intel
receives the Intel Notice of Disagreement, the disagreement shall be referred for final
determination to Deloitte & Touche USA LLP or if Deloitte & Touche USA LLP is unable or
unwilling to make such final determination, to such other independent accounting firm as the
parties shall mutually designate. The accounting firm
so designated to make the final determination is hereinafter referred to as the
“Independent Accountants.”
(d) Intel Inventory Value as of the end of Intel’s first fiscal quarter of 2007 and as
of the Effective Time shall be deemed to have been finally determined upon the first to
occur of (i) acceptance of the Preliminary Intel Inventory Statement, (ii) Holdings’
15
failure
to object thereto within 150 days after the Closing Date, (iii) resolution by mutual
agreement of the parties after timely delivery of the Intel Notice of Disagreement or
(iv) notification by the Independent Accountants of their final determination thereof.
(e) If the Intel Inventory Value as of the Effective Time, as finally determined, is
less than the Minimum Committed Intel Inventory Value, Intel shall or shall cause one of its
Subsidiaries, as appropriate, to make a payment equal to such difference by the Intel
Transferor responsible for such reduction, as determined by Intel, to Holdings or one its
Subsidiaries within 10 days after such final determination. If the Intel Inventory Value as
of the Effective Time, as finally determined, is equal to or greater than the Minimum
Committed Intel Inventory Value, there shall be no such payment by Intel to Holdings or one
of its Subsidiaries.
(f) The fees and disbursements of the accountants of Holdings and its Subsidiaries
shall be paid by Holdings or one of its Subsidiaries, as appropriate. The fees and
disbursements of Intel’s accountants shall be paid by Intel. The fees and disbursements of
the Independent Accountants shall be paid based on a ratable allocation made as a part of
its determination, based on the proportion by which the amount in dispute was determined in
favor of Holdings or its relevant Subsidiary, or Intel.
2.8 Intel Transferred Employee Liabilities.
(a) Promptly after the Closing Date, Intel shall prepare a statement (the “Intel
Preliminary Closing Statement”) setting forth the Intel Transferred Employee Payment
Liabilities as of the Intel Employee Transfer Date and the Intel Transferred Employee
Payment Liabilities that accrued prior to the Intel Employee Liability Date, and containing
reasonably detailed supporting information, documents and calculations. Intel shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such preparation and review to be completed and the
Preliminary Closing Statement to be delivered to Holdings and Numonyx within 210 days after
the Closing Date. The Preliminary Closing Statement shall be prepared by Intel from the
books and records of Intel consistent with past practice and the Intel Financial Information
and in accordance with GAAP.
(b) Holdings and its accountants shall have the right to review the work papers of
Intel and its accountants utilized in preparing the Intel Preliminary Closing Statement and
shall have full access to the books, records, properties and personnel of Intel and its
Subsidiaries for purposes of verifying the accuracy and fairness of the presentation of the
information in the Intel Preliminary Closing Statement. The Intel Preliminary Closing
Statement shall be binding on Holdings and its Subsidiaries, unless Holdings delivers to
Intel written notice of disagreement with any Intel Transferred
Employee Payment Liabilities set forth therein (“Notice of Disagreement”)
within 30 days following the delivery of the Intel Preliminary Closing Statement, specifying
in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the disagreement, in which case the Intel
Preliminary Closing Statement shall be binding on Holdings and its Subsidiaries only in
respect of the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities set forth therein which are
not the subject of a Notice of Disagreement.
16
(c) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Intel
and Holdings shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may
have with respect to any Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities specified in the
Notice of Disagreement. If Holdings and Intel are unable to resolve any such disagreement
within 30 days after Intel receives a Notice of Disagreement, the disagreement shall be
referred for final determination to Deloitte & Touche USA LLP or if Deloitte & Touche USA
LLP is unable or unwilling to make such final determination, to such other independent
accounting firm as the parties shall mutually designate. The accounting firm so designated
to make the final determination is hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.8 as
the “Intel Cash Independent Accountants.”
(d) The Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities shall be deemed to have been
finally determined upon the first to occur of (i) Holdings’ failure to deliver to Intel a
Notice of Disagreement with respect to such Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities
270 days after the Closing Date, (ii) resolution by mutual agreement of the parties after
timely delivery of a Notice of Disagreement or (iii) notification by the Intel Cash
Independent Accountants of their final determination thereof. Within ten days after the
date on which all of the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities (as they may be
revised pursuant to this Section 2.8) shall have become final and binding (the
“Final Payment Date”), Intel shall pay Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings, as
appropriate, an amount equal to the Intel Transferred Employee Payment Liabilities that
accrued prior to the Intel Employee Liability Date.
2.9 Capital Expenditures.
(a) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Intel shall deliver to Holdings a schedule
setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of all capital expenditures made by Intel in
accordance with the Intel Business Capital Expenditures Plan between April 1, 2007 and the
Closing Date (or for such period otherwise provided, the “Actual Intel Capital
Expenditures”). For purposes hereof, “Planned Intel Capital Expenditures” means
(i) the planned amount of capital expenditures set forth in the Intel Business Capital
Expenditures Plan for each fiscal quarter completed during the period from April 1, 2007
through the end of the last full fiscal quarter ending prior to the Closing Date (or for
such period otherwise provided) plus (ii) a prorated amount equal to the planned amount of
capital expenditures set forth in the Intel Business Capital Expenditures Plan for the
fiscal month in which the Closing Date occurs multiplied by a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of days elapsed in such fiscal month through the Closing Date and the
denominator of which is the total number of days in such fiscal month. In the event that
the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the expiration of the then current Intel
Business Capital Expenditures Plan, the Parties will agree in
good faith on the modification of such Intel Business Capital Expenditures Plan to add
additional planned amounts of capital expenditures for the following fiscal quarter or
quarters. Holdings shall have full access to the Intel Books and Records, for purposes of
verifying the accuracy and fairness of the schedule of Actual Intel Capital Expenditures
delivered by Intel to Holdings hereunder.
17
(b) The schedule of Actual Intel Capital Expenditures shall be binding on Holdings and
its Subsidiaries, unless Holdings presents to Intel written notice of disagreement with the
schedule of Actual Intel Capital Expenditures (“Intel Cap Ex Notice of
Disagreement”) within 150 days after the Closing Date specifying in reasonable detail
the nature and extent of the disagreement.
(c) During the 30-day period following the delivery of an Intel Cap Ex Notice of
Disagreement, Intel and Holdings shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any
differences which they may have with respect to any amount specified in the Intel Cap Ex
Notice of Disagreement. If Holdings and Intel are unable to resolve any such disagreement
within 30 days after Intel receives the Intel Cap Ex Notice of Disagreement, the
disagreement shall be referred for final determination to Deloitte & Touche USA LLP or if
Deloitte & Touche USA LLP is unable or unwilling to make such final determination, to such
other independent accounting firm as the parties shall mutually designate. The accounting
firm so designated to make the final determination is hereinafter referred to as the
“Cap Ex Independent Accountants.”
(d) Actual Intel Capital Expenditures as of the Effective Time shall be deemed to have
been finally determined upon the first to occur of (i) acceptance of the schedule of Actual
Intel Capital Expenditures, (ii) Holdings’ failure to object thereto within 150 days after
the Closing Date, (iii) resolution by mutual agreement of the parties after timely delivery
of the Intel Cap Ex Notice of Disagreement or (iv) notification by the Cap Ex Independent
Accountants of their final determination thereof.
(e) Within 10 days after the final determination of such amount, determined in
accordance with Section 2.9(d) above, in the event the Actual Intel Capital
Expenditures are less than the Planned Intel Capital Expenditures for the period from April
1, 2007 through the Closing Date, Intel shall pay the amount of any such difference to
Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings, as appropriate.
(f) The fees and disbursements of the accountants of Holdings shall be paid by
Holdings. The fees and disbursements of Intel’s accountants shall be paid by Intel. The
fees and disbursements of the Cap Ex Independent Accountants shall be paid based on a
ratable allocation made as a part of its determination, based on the proportion by which the
amount in dispute was determined in favor of Holdings or Intel.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INTEL
Subject to the exceptions that are disclosed in the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, Intel hereby
makes the following representations and warranties to Holdings and Numonyx. Such representations
and warranties are made to Holdings and Numonyx as if made and effective (a) on May 22, 2007
(except that with respect to any representation and warranty that specifies another date, such
representation and warranty shall be made as of such specified date) and (b) as of the date hereof
(except that with respect to any representation and warranty that specifies another date, such
representation and warranty shall be made as of such specified date), as follows:
3.1 Existence and Good Standing. Each of the Intel Transferors is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization (to the extent such concept is recognized
in such jurisdiction) and has all requisite power and authority required to carry on its business
as now conducted and to own and operate the Intel Business as now owned and operated by it. Each
of the Intel Transferors is qualified to conduct business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which it conducts the Intel Business (to the extent such
20
concept is recognized in
such jurisdiction) other than such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not
reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect.
3.2 Authorization and Enforceability. Each of the Intel Transferors has all requisite
power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Transaction Documents to which it is or will
be a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery by each Intel Transferor of each of
the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by each Intel Transferor of
its obligations contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary corporate action. The Transaction Documents have been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the Intel Transferor which is a party thereto and, assuming the due execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by Holdings
(or a Subsidiary of Holdings) and the other parties thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and each
of the Transaction Documents to which an Intel Transferor is a party constitutes, the legal, valid
and binding agreement of such Intel Transferor, enforceable against such Intel Transferor in
accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent (a) that their enforceability may be
subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or
hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or to general principles of equity or
(b) indemnification provisions contained in the Securityholders’ Agreement may be limited by
applicable securities laws.
3.3 Governmental Authorization. Other than the Intel Approvals, Numonyx Approvals and
ST Approvals, the execution, delivery and performance by each Intel Transferor of the Transaction
Document(s) to which it is a party, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated
thereby, require no Governmental Approval.
3.4 Non-Contravention.
(a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Intel Transferors of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby, do not and will not: (i) contravene or conflict with the certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, articles of association or other corporate organizational or
governing documents of any Intel Transferor or any Intel Transferred Entity; (ii) assuming
receipt of the Intel Approvals, contravene or conflict with or constitute a material
violation of any provision of any Applicable Law binding upon or applicable to any Intel
Transferor, the Intel Transferred Assets or the Intel Transferred Entities; or (iii)
assuming receipt of the Intel Approvals, the ST Approvals, the Numonyx Approvals and of the
Intel Contractual Consents, (A) constitute a default under, give rise to any right of
termination, cancellation, modification, acceleration of, or a loss of any benefit under any
Intel Contract, including the Intel Transferred Contracts or (B) result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any Intel Transferred Asset, or
(C) constitute a breach, default or violation of any settlement agreement, judgment,
injunction or decree, except in the case of clause (ii) or (iii), for matters that would not
reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect (provided that in
determining whether an Intel Material Adverse Effect would result, any adverse effect
otherwise excluded by clause (C) of the definition of “Intel Material Adverse Effect” shall
be taken into account).
21
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by Intel of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which Intel is a party, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not, as of the Closing Date, constitute a
default under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification,
acceleration of, or a loss of any material benefit under any Contract identified on
Schedule 3.4(b) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter; provided, however, that for the
avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 3.4(b) shall not be deemed to be untrue or
inaccurate in any respect as a result of (i) any action or omission by Holdings or a
Subsidiary of Holdings that constitutes or results in a default by Intel or any Intel
Affiliate or gives rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification,
acceleration of, or a loss of any material benefit under any such Contact; and (ii) any
withdrawal or voiding after the Closing of any consent granted prior to the Closing by a
party to such Contract, which withdrawal or voiding purports to have retroactive effect to
the Closing.
3.5 Personal Property. The Intel Transferors and Intel Transferred Entities together
have good and marketable title to, or a valid and subsisting leasehold interest in, all of the
tangible personal property that is an Intel Transferred Asset free and clear of any Lien, except

other than Permitted Liens. Each of the Intel Leases (i) is valid and binding on the Intel
Transferor or Intel Transferred Entity which is party thereto and, to the Knowledge of
Intel, on the counterparties thereto, and is in full force and effect and (ii) upon
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Intel Ancillary
Agreements, except to the extent that any Intel Contractual Consents are not
obtained, shall continue in full force and effect without penalty or other adverse
consequence. No Intel Transferor, nor any Intel Transferred Entity, is in breach of, or
default under, any Intel Lease to which it is a party, except for such breaches or defaults
that would not reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect. Except as
would not reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect, to the Knowledge
of Intel, no other party to any Intel Lease is in breach thereof or default thereunder and
neither Intel nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of termination,
cancellation, breach or default under any Intel Lease.
22
3.7 Litigation. There is no Proceeding or to the Knowledge of Intel, investigation
pending or, to the Knowledge of Intel, threatened in writing, by or against Intel or any of its
Subsidiaries relating to the Intel Business or any Intel Transferred Asset (a) seeking to prevent,

Document or to materially encumber any Intel Transferred Asset, or (b) that would otherwise
reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect. There is no Proceeding pending
or, to the Knowledge of Intel, threatened by or against any Intel Transferred Entity, except as
would not reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect.
3.8 Intel Transferred Contracts and Consents.
(a) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse
Effect, each Intel Transferred Contract (i) is valid and binding on the Intel Transferor or
the Intel Transferred Entity which is party thereto and, to the Knowledge of Intel, the
counterparties thereto, and is in full force and effect and (ii) upon consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that any Intel Contractual
Consents are not obtained, shall continue in full force and effect without penalty or other
adverse consequence. No Intel Transferor, nor any Intel Transferred Entity is in breach of,
or default under, any Intel Transferred Contract to which it is a party, except for such
breaches or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse
Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse
Effect, to the Knowledge of Intel, no other party to any Intel Transferred Contract is in
breach thereof or default thereunder and neither Intel, nor any of its Subsidiaries, has
received any notice of termination, cancellation, breach or default under any Intel
Transferred Contract.
(b) Schedule 3.8(b) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter lists each material
Intel Transferred Contract that requires the consent of the other party or parties thereto
to be obtained by Intel or one of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to
avoid the loss of any material benefit under, or any material modification to, such Intel
Transferred Contract (the “Intel Contractual Consents”).
3.9 Compliance with Applicable Laws.
(a) Intel and its Subsidiaries have complied with any Applicable Laws relating to the
Intel Business or the operation and use of the Intel Transferred Assets (including, in the
case of the Intel Transferred Entities, Applicable Laws relating to their business
operations and employees) and the Intel Transferred Interests, except where the failure to
comply would not reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect. To the
Knowledge of Intel, no Intel Transferor is subject to any order, writ, injunction or decree
of any Governmental Authority directly relating to the Intel Transferred Assets. To the
Knowledge of Intel, no Intel Transferred Entity is subject to any material order, writ,
injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority.
(b) Intel and its Subsidiaries are in possession of all Permits, except where the
failure to have, or the suspension or cancellation of, any of the Permits would not
23
reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect. Intel and its Subsidiaries
are in compliance with all Permits and no suspension or cancellation of any of the Permits
is pending or, to the Knowledge of Intel, threatened in writing, except, in each case, where
the failure to so comply, or the suspension or cancellation of, any of the Permits would not
reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not
reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect, (i) none of the Intel
Transferred Permits will, assuming the related Intel Approvals and Numonyx Approvals have
been obtained prior to the Closing Date, be terminated or impaired or become terminable, in
whole or in part, as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Intel
Ancillary Agreements and (ii) upon consummation of such transactions, or at such other time
as agreed by the Parties, Holdings or its Subsidiaries will, assuming the related Intel
Approvals and Numonyx Approvals have been obtained prior to the Closing Date, have all of
the right, title and interest in all of the Intel Transferred Permits.
(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse
Effect, the Intel Transferred Permits constitute all material Governmental Approvals
necessary for the ownership, lease or use of the Intel Transferred Assets and the operation
of the Intel Business after the Closing Date.
3.10 Tax Matters.
(a) Intel has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes relating to the Intel
Transferred Assets and Intel Business allocable (as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii))
to the Pre-Closing Tax Period that could become a liability of Holdings or its Subsidiaries
by reason of the transfer of the Intel Transferred Assets to Holdings or its Subsidiaries as
described herein or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Lien on any Intel
Transferred Assets, other than non-delinquent Taxes incurred in the ordinary course of
business since the Intel Financial Information Date in amounts consistent with prior periods
(as adjusted for changes in Tax rates and ordinary course fluctuations in operating
results). None of the Intel Transferors has an actual or contingent liability for Taxes
that will become a liability of Holdings or its Subsidiaries by reason of the transactions
described herein, other than such non-delinquent Taxes described in the immediately
preceding sentence for which Holdings or its Subsidiaries may become
liable by reason of statutory successor liability (or similar liability) under
Applicable Law.
(b) No Governmental Authority has claimed that the Intel Transferred Assets are subject
to Tax in a jurisdiction in which the required Tax Returns have not been filed by the Intel
Transferors.
(c) No material issues have been raised in writing in any audits, examinations or
disputes pertaining to Taxes arising from the Intel Transferred Assets that can reasonably
be expected to be raised in similar examinations of Holdings or its Subsidiaries following
the Closing.
(d) With respect to each of the Intel Transferred Entities:
24
(i) Each Intel Transferred Entity has properly prepared and timely filed all
Tax Returns required by law and has timely paid all Taxes due and payable (whether
or not shown on any Tax Return). All such Tax Returns are true, correct and
complete in all material respects. Each Intel Transferred Entity has complied in
all material respects with all Applicable Laws relating to Taxes. None of the Intel
Transferred Entities (A) is a party to or bound by any closing agreement, offer in
compromise, gain recognition agreement or any other agreement with any Governmental
Authority, except for those agreements identified on Schedule 3.10(e) of the
Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, or any Tax indemnity or Tax sharing agreement with any
Person, and (B) has actual or contingent liabilities for Taxes, other than (x) Taxes
accrued as a liability in the Intel Financial Information, or (y) non-delinquent
Taxes incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Intel Financial
Information Date in amounts consistent with prior periods (if applicable), as
adjusted for changes in Tax rates and ordinary course fluctuations in operating
results.
(ii) There are and have been no (A) proposed, threatened or actual assessments,
audits, examinations or disputes as to Taxes relating to the Intel Transferred
Entities, (B) accounting method adjustments with respect to the Intel Transferred
Entities, or (C) waivers or extensions of the statute of limitations with respect to
Taxes for which the Intel Transferred Entities would reasonably be expected to be
held liable following the date hereof. No issues have been raised in any audits,
examinations or disputes pertaining to the Intel Transferred Entities that can
reasonably be expected to be raised in similar examinations following the Closing.
To the Knowledge of Intel, there is no basis for the assertion by a taxing authority
of a material Tax deficiency against the Intel Transferred Entities. None of the
Intel Transferred Entities is liable for Taxes of any other Person.
(iii) Schedule 3.10(d)(iii) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter sets
forth, on an entity-by-entity basis, all jurisdictions in which each of the Intel
Transferred Entities is subject to Tax and the type(s) of Tax. No Intel Transferred
Entity has engaged (or been treated as engaged) in the conduct of a trade or
business or had a
permanent establishment (as defined in applicable tax treaty) in a jurisdiction
with respect to which the required Tax Returns have not been filed.
(iv) Each Intel Transferred Entity has complied with all information reporting
and record keeping requirements under all Applicable Laws, including retention and
maintenance of required records with respect thereto.
(v) None of the Intel Transferred Entities is a party to any joint venture,
partnership, other arrangement or which could be treated as a partnership for any
applicable income Tax purposes.
(vi) There is no taxable income or other measure of Tax of any of the Intel
Transferred Entities that will be reportable in the Post-Closing Tax Period that is
attributable to a transaction or event that occurred in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.
25
(vii) No position has been taken on any Tax Return with respect to the Intel
Business or the Intel Transferred Assets that is contrary to any publicly announced
position of a Governmental Authority, or that is substantially similar to any
position that a Governmental Authority has successfully challenged in the course of
an examination of a Tax Return of the Intel Transferred Entities.
(e) Schedule 3.10(e) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter sets forth in
reasonable detail, as to each Intel Transferred Entity, the Intel Business and the Intel
Transferred Assets, each applicable agreement, ruling or other arrangement with respect to
Taxes entered into with or received from any Governmental Authority, including the terms of
any agreement governing the pricing of products sold to Subsidiaries of Intel (each, an
“Intel Tax Agreement”). Each of Intel, its Subsidiaries and the Intel Transferred
Entities is in compliance with each Intel Tax Agreement in all material respects, and no
Governmental Authority has claimed or is expected to claim that any material breach of an
Intel Tax Agreement has occurred. None of Intel, its Affiliates or the Intel Transferred
Entities currently has outstanding any requests for Tax rulings pertaining to the Intel
Transferred Entities, the Intel Business or the Intel Transferred Assets that would
reasonably be expected to affect the liability for Taxes of Holdings or its Subsidiaries
after the Closing Date.
(f) The representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.10 are the
only representations and warranties being made with respect to compliance with or liability
under Applicable Laws relating to the Tax matters contemplated by this Section 3.10.
3.11 Intellectual Property.
(a) All material Intel Transferred Intellectual Property is free and clear of any Liens
other than Permitted Liens. One of the Intel Transferors owns or, to Intel’s Knowledge, is
licensed to use, all works of authorship and all associated Copyrights that are embodied in
the Intel Products. One of the Intel Transferors has good and marketable sole title to the
Intel Transferred Intellectual Property (other than with respect to any
moral rights therein or relating thereto). With respect to the Intel Transferred
Intellectual Property, there are no material exclusive licenses granted by Intel or its
Subsidiaries. Except as provided in the Intel Intellectual Property Agreement or other
Transaction Documents, upon the Closing hereof, neither Intel nor any of its Affiliates
shall retain any material rights under the Intel Transferred Intellectual Property.

bearing Intel Retained Marks (a) unless requested to do so by Intel, (b) except to the extent
displayed on the hardcopy (non-electronic) form of such materials delivered to Holdings or a
Subsidiary of Holdings at the Closing, (c) except as required under Intel Transferred Contracts
with customers or (d) except on Intel Transferred Inventory, product instructions, labeling,
containers, data sheets, specifications and any similar materials directly related to the Intel
Transferred Inventory in existence as of the Closing Date. Further, (i) dies manufactured by or
for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries using mask sets included in the Intel Transferred Assets
may bear Intel Retained Marks only to the extent that it is not commercially reasonable to
manufacture dies using such mask sets that do not bear such Intel Retained Marks, and (ii) Holdings
and its Subsidiaries may include the block “I” trademark (the “Block “I” Trademark”) on the
packaging of any product that has been or will be marked with the Block “I” Trademark by Intel
prior to the termination of the Intel Transition Services Agreement and product instructions,
labeling, containers, data sheets, specifications, JEDEC codes, and any other materials directly
related to such products. The foregoing rights are subject to Intel’s standard Trademark usage
guidelines, a copy of which has been provided to Holdings and Numonyx, to any applicable provisions
of the Intel Transition Services Agreement, and to
any applicable provisions of the Intel Intellectual Property Agreement, and Intel reserves the
right to practice quality control with regard to its marks and any products or services marketed or
sold thereunder. Holdings shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with any reasonable
instructions of which it is notified by Intel relating to Intel’s exercising of such quality
control rights. Upon the expiration of the foregoing license, all materials bearing any Intel
Retained Xxxx in the possession or control of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
agents shall be promptly destroyed. Prior to any distribution of any materials bearing Intel
Retained Marks, Holdings shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable
efforts to redact or modify such materials in order to minimize or eliminate the use of the Intel
Retained Marks.
5.4 Cooperation in Third Party Litigation. Each Party shall provide such assistance
and cooperation as the other Party or its counsel may reasonably request in connection with any
claims, Proceedings or investigations relating to the Intel Business or the Intel Transferred
Assets, Intel Transferred Liabilities, Intel Transferred Entities; provided, that the Party making
such request shall reimburse each such other Party for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses in providing such assistance; provided, that such assistance shall not
unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of any such other Party.
5.5 Assignments
(a) Intel will reasonably cooperate with Holdings and its Subsidiaries in transferring
applications and registrations for the Intel Transferred Copyrights, Intel Transferred
Trademarks and the Intel Transferred Patents to the extent that Intel has applied for or
obtained registrations therefor; provided, however, that following the Closing, subject to
Section 5.4, Intel shall not have or incur any further obligations or
38
expenses in
connection therewith, and it shall be the sole responsibility of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries to pursue, protect or perfect any such rights as it may see fit in its sole
discretion.
(b) Following the Closing, in the event that (i) Intel identifies Intel Excluded Assets
that have been erroneously identified for delivery or delivered to Holdings or a Subsidiary
of Holdings, Holdings shall or shall cause such Subsidiary to use commercially reasonable
efforts to return such Intel Excluded Assets to Intel at Intel’s expense or (ii) Holdings or
a Subsidiary of Holdings identifies Intel Transferred Assets that any Intel Transferor has
failed to deliver to Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings or an Intel Transferred Entity,
such Intel Transferor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Intel
Transferred Assets to Holdings or such Subsidiary of Holdings at Intel’s expense.
5.6 Reasonable Efforts. Each of Holdings, Numonyx and Intel will cooperate and use
its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate actions (and to
make, or cause to be made, all filings and notifications necessary, proper or advisable under
Applicable Law) to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Transaction Documents, including its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly
as practicable, all licenses, permits,
consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Authorities and
parties to contracts, as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
5.7 Allocation of Non-Tax Operating Expenses. All utility charges, gas charges,
electric charges, water charges, water rents and sewer rents, if any, shall be apportioned between
Holdings and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Intel, on the other hand, as of the Closing
Date, computed on the basis of the most recent meter charges or, in the case of annual charges, on
the basis of the established fiscal year. All Prepayments (including lease expenses but excluding
Taxes and Intel Prepayments) paid by Intel prior to the Closing Date and all other operating
expenses paid by Holdings or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Intel Business shall be
apportioned between Holdings and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Intel, on the other hand,
as of the Closing Date computed on the basis of the applicable time period to which expenses apply.
Within 90 days after the Closing, each Party shall present a statement to the other Party setting
forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 5.7,
together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration
amount. Such amount shall be paid by the Party owing it to the other within 10 days after delivery
of such statement.
5.8 Tax Matters.
(a) Tax Returns. Intel shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns
with respect to the Intel Transferred Assets and the Intel Business for the Pre-Closing Tax
Period, other than the Tax Returns of the Intel Transferred Entities for taxable periods
that end following the Closing Date. Holdings shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax
Returns with respect to the Intel Transferred Assets and the Intel Business for the
Post-Closing Tax Period and of the Intel Transferred Entities for taxable periods ending
39
after the Closing Date. All Tax Returns with respect to the Intel Transferred Entities,
Intel Transferred Assets or Intel Business prepared by Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings
for taxable periods that include but do not end on the Closing Date (each such period, a
“Straddle Period”) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior Tax Returns
filed by the Intel Transferred Entities, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law. To
the extent Intel would be liable for all or any portion of the Taxes shown on any Straddle
Period Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be provided to Intel no later than 30 days prior to
the filing thereof, and any disputes concerning the manner in which such Tax Returns are
prepared shall be resolved as provided in Section 5.8(h). Holdings shall not amend
or permit to be amended any Tax Returns with respect to an Intel Transferred Entity to the
extent such amendment could increase the liability of Intel hereunder.
(b) Responsibility for Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section
5.8:
(i) Intel shall be liable for and shall indemnify, defend and hold Holdings and
its Subsidiaries harmless from and against (A) all Taxes arising from the Intel
Transferred Assets or the Intel Business with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period,
including all Taxes of the Intel Transferred Entities
attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent not paid prior to the
Closing, (B) all Taxes imposed on any Intel Transferred Entity as a result of being
or having been a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary, fiscal
unity or similar group of which Intel or any of its Affiliates is or was a member,
other than Taxes arising from the income, assets or operations of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries during the Post-Closing Tax Period, and (C) all Taxes imposed on any
Intel Transferred Entity as a result of being or having been party to any tax
sharing, tax indemnity or tax allocation agreement or any other express or implied
agreement to indemnify any other Person for Taxes that was entered into prior to the
Closing, other than Taxes arising from the income, assets or operations of Holdings
and its Subsidiaries during the Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that
Taxes arising on the Closing Date by reason of actions taken by or at the request of
Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings out of the ordinary course of business
following the Closing and without the consent of Intel shall be the responsibility
of Holdings and its Subsidiaries.
(ii) Holdings shall be liable for and shall indemnify, defend and hold Intel
harmless from and against all Taxes arising from the Intel Transferred Assets or the
Intel Business with respect to the Post-Closing Tax Period, including all Taxes of
the Intel Transferred Entities attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period, except
to the extent that such Taxes are Intel’s obligation under Section 5.8(b)(i)
or are subject to indemnification from Intel pursuant to Section 6.2(a) (but
subject to Section 6.2(g)) and except for any Taxes imposed on Intel or its
Affiliates by virtue of their ownership of equity in Holdings.
(iii) Taxes with respect to any of the Intel Transferred Entities for a
Straddle Period shall be calculated by means of a closing of the books and records
40
of such Intel Transferred Entity as of the close of the Closing Date, as if such
Straddle Period ended as of the close of the Closing Date; provided, that
exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis
(including depreciation and amortization deductions computed as if the Closing Date
was the last day of the taxable period) shall be allocated between the portion of
the period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the period after such day
in proportion to the number of days in each such period; and, provided, further,
that personal property, ad valorem and other similar Taxes that are not based on
income, revenue, expenses or any combination thereof (“Property Taxes”) for
a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the
Post-Closing Tax Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period
(except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence). Property Taxes with
respect to the Intel Transferred Assets other than those owned by the Intel
Transferred Entities shall be allocated similarly. Intel shall be liable for the
amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than
to the extent of any increase in Property Taxes attributable to the transactions
described herein), and Holdings shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such
Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period (including any increase in
Property Taxes attributable to the transactions described herein).
(iv) Within a reasonable period after the Closing, and from time to time
thereafter upon the receipt by a Party of a xxxx, assessment or other notice of Tax
due, Intel and Holdings shall present a statement to the other setting forth the
amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 5.8(b),
together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the
amount owed. The amount owed shall be paid by the Party owing it to the other
within 10 days after delivery of such statement or, if later, 3 days prior to the
time such Taxes are required to be paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority.
In the event that either Intel or Holdings makes a payment for which it is entitled
to reimbursement under this Section 5.8(b), the other Party shall pay such
reimbursement promptly, but in no event later than 30 days after the presentation of
a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting Party
is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to
calculate the amount of reimbursement. Any payment required under this Section
5.8(b) and not made when due shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
(c) Sales and Use Taxes. All Sales Taxes incurred by Intel or its Affiliates
in connection with the transfer of Intel Transferred Assets to an Intel Transferred Entity
(whether such Sales Taxes arise upon such transfer or upon the transfer of the underlying
Intel Transferred Interests to Holdings or its Subsidiaries) shall be borne by Intel or its
Affiliates (but not the Intel Transferred Entities) to the extent such Sales Taxes exceed
the Sales Taxes that would have been incurred if the underlying Intel Transferred Assets
were transferred directly by the historical owner thereof to Holdings or a Subsidiary of
Holdings (located in the same jurisdiction as such Intel Transferred Entity) without the
intervening transfer to such Intel Transferred Entity. All other Sales Taxes incurred by
the Parties or their Affiliates as a consequence of the transfer of the Intel Transferred
41
Assets (including the Intel Transferred Interests) to Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings
shall be determined as soon as practicable after the Closing based on the allocation
described in Section 5.9 and shall be borne 50% by Holdings and 50% by Intel;
provided, however, that in no event shall Holdings’ share of such Sales Taxes exceed
$5,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings or its Subsidiaries shall pay 100% of
all Sales Taxes to the extent the payment thereof by Holdings or such Subsidiaries gives
rise to a right to claim a refund of or credit against Taxes otherwise payable by Holdings
or its Subsidiaries under Applicable Law (and such amount shall not count toward the
$5,000,000 cap in the preceding sentence). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
Holdings and Intel shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such
Sales Taxes. To the extent a taxing authority provides notice to Intel or Holdings of an
audit of Sales Taxes for which the other Party has any responsibility hereunder, the Party
receiving the notice shall promptly notify the other Party. The Parties shall cooperate as
reasonably requested to defend any audit with respect to Sales Taxes described herein, and
the Party responsible therefor shall pay when due any additional Sales Taxes ultimately
assessed (together with any interest, penalties or additions to tax with respect thereto) in
the ratios described above. Intel shall control all Sales Tax audits where Intel or its
Affiliates bear 100% of the underlying Sales Tax, and Intel and Holdings shall jointly
control all other Sales Tax audits (and share equally all related professional fees,
interest, penalties and additions to tax) pertaining to the transfer of the Intel
Transferred Assets to Holdings. With respect to Sales Taxes for which the Parties
bear joint responsibility hereunder, neither Party shall settle any proposed adjustment
to such Sales Taxes without the other Party’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
(d) Cooperation. As to the Taxes for which Intel is liable hereunder or that
arise in a Straddle Period, the Parties hereto agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to
one another, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance
relating to the Intel Transferred Assets, the Intel Business and the Intel Transferred
Entities as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the preparation for
any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim or Proceeding
relating to any Tax Return. The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in the
conduct of any audit or other Proceeding related to Taxes involving the Intel Business.
(e) Allocation of Intel Consideration among the Intel Transferred Assets. The
Intel Consideration (including the Intel Transferred Liabilities to the extent treated as
“amount realized” for United States federal income tax purposes) shall be allocated among
the Intel Transferred Assets and the Intel Transferred Interests in accordance with
Schedule 5.8(e) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter (as such allocation shall be
determined following Closing and delivered by Intel to Holdings within 30 days following the
Closing Date). Such schedule shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Third Party
Appraisal. Each of the Parties hereto agrees to report the transactions contemplated hereby
for state, federal and foreign Tax purposes in accordance with such allocation of the Intel
Consideration. Intel shall prepare Schedule 5.8(e) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter
subject to Holdings’ approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
42
(f) Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties shall treat all
indemnification payments made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Intel
Consideration for applicable Tax purposes.
(g) Tax Dispute Resolution. If the Parties are unable to resolve any disputes
regarding the content of Tax Returns for which Intel has a right of review pursuant to
Section 5.8(a), the issue or issues shall be referred for resolution to a partner at
a “Big 4” accounting firm (or other nationally recognized accounting firm) reasonably
acceptable to the Parties, who shall be requested to resolve open issues, on the basis of
the position most likely to be sustained if challenged in a court having initial
jurisdiction over the matter (which for federal income tax issues shall be deemed to be the
United States Tax Court). The decision of such accounting firm shall be final and binding
on the Parties, and the costs of such accounting firm shall be Holdings costs. If such Tax
Returns become due (taking into account extensions of time to file, which Holdings shall
seek as necessary to avoid the delinquent filing of its Tax Returns) they shall be filed as
determined by Holdings and shall be amended and re-filed as required by the outcome of the
referral to the accounting firm as provided herein.
5.9 Accounts Receivable. Following the Closing, (a) if Intel or any of its
Subsidiaries receives any payment, refund or
other amount that is an Intel Transferred Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to
Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Intel promptly
shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to Holdings or such Subsidiary and (b) if
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any payment, refund or other amount that is an Intel
Excluded Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Intel or any of its Subsidiaries in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Holdings promptly shall remit, or shall cause to be
remitted, such amount to Intel. Without limiting the foregoing, Holdings shall forward, or cause a
Subsidiary of Holdings to forward, to Intel, immediately upon receipt thereof, any payments of
Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable of Intel or any of its Subsidiaries, and Intel shall forward to
Holdings, immediately upon receipt thereof, any payments of Post-Closing Accounts Receivable of
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries unless otherwise set forth in the Intel Transition Services
Agreement. Following the Closing, the Parties shall cooperate in promptly advising customers to
direct to the appropriate Party any future payments by such customers. In determining whether a
payment received by either Party is a payment of an Account Receivable of Intel, on the one hand,
or Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings, on the other hand, the receiving Party may rely on any
invoice or contract number referred to on the payment or in correspondence accompanying such
payment. To the extent any payment, refund or other amount received by Intel or Holdings or a
Subsidiary of Holdings from a customer or other account debtor does not specify which outstanding
invoice or receivable it is in payment of, such payment shall be applied to the earliest invoice
outstanding with respect to indebtedness of such customer or other account debtor, except for those
invoices which are subject to a dispute to the extent of such dispute. Following the Closing,
Holdings will and will cause its Subsidiaries to provide such cooperation as Intel shall reasonably
request in connection with Intel’s collection of outstanding Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable of
Intel and its Subsidiaries.
5.10 Accounts Payable. To the extent that Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
receives any invoices for Pre-Closing Accounts Payable of Intel or any of its Subsidiaries or
statements evidencing amounts owed by Intel or any of its Subsidiaries to another Person, Holdings
will or will cause such Subsidiary to promptly deliver such documents to Intel. To the extent that
Intel receives any invoices for Accounts Payable of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or
statements evidencing amounts owed by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to another Person, Intel
will
43
promptly deliver such documents to Holdings unless otherwise set forth in the Intel Transition
Services Agreement.
5.11 Employees.
(a) Employees. To the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Holdings
shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide service credit for all periods of service
by the Intel Transferred Employees under Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ employee policies
and plans except to the extent such service credit would result in the duplication of
benefit accrual for the same period of service. Holdings shall and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to be responsible for all Liabilities, salaries, benefits and similar employer
obligations that arise after Closing under Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ compensation and
benefit plans and policies for all Intel Transferred Employees or pursuant to
Section 2.3(d). In particular, except as otherwise provided in the Intel Secondment
Agreement, Holdings shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to be responsible for liabilities
with respect to the termination of any Intel Transferred Employees by Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries after the Intel Employee Liability Date, including health care
continuation coverage with respect to plans established or maintained by Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries after the Intel Employee Liability Date to the extent that the Intel
Transferred Employees participate therein, and damages or settlements arising out of any
claims of wrongful, constructive or illegal termination or dismissal by Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries following the Intel Employee Liability Date, and for complying with the
requirements of all Applicable Laws with respect to any such termination by Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries after the Intel Employee Liability Date. Subject to the Intel
Secondment Agreement and to Section 2.3(d) hereof, Intel shall be solely responsible
for any liabilities or obligations with respect to Intel Transferred Employees under the
Intel Employee Plans or the Intel Employee Agreements that arise following the Intel
Employee Transfer Date.
(b) Non- U.S. Intel Business Employees. With respect to Intel Business
Employees located outside the United States, each of Holdings and Intel agrees to comply,
and to cause its respective Subsidiaries to comply, with all covenants, agreements and
obligations set forth in Schedule 5.11(b) of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter.
(c) Funded Employee Plans. To the extent that Holdings or a Subsidiary of
Holdings is required under Applicable Law to assume Liabilities with respect to an Intel
Funded Employee Plan relating to service of Intel Transferred Employees prior to the Intel
Employee Liability Date, and unless such obligations are not otherwise satisfied at or prior
to the Intel Employee Liability Date among Intel, Holdings (or a Subsidiary of Holdings) and
the relevant Intel Transferred Employees, Intel shall, or shall cause the applicable Intel
Subsidiary to, pay to Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings, as appropriate, an amount in
cash or cash equivalents equal to such Liabilities as of the Intel
44
Employee Liability Date
as determined in accordance with this Section 5.11(c) (the “Intel Funded
Employee Plan Amount”). Intel shall, or shall cause the applicable Intel Subsidiary to,
cause the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount to be transferred to Holdings or such Subsidiary
of Holdings as soon as practicable following the Intel Employee Liability Date, but in no
event more than 15 days following the determination of the amount due hereunder. The Intel
Funded Employee Plan Amount shall be determined in accordance with Applicable Law and the
relevant provisions of the Intel Funded Employee Plan. To the extent required by Applicable
Law or by the Intel Funded Employee Plan, Intel shall, or shall cause the applicable Intel
Subsidiary to, require the actuary of each Intel Funded Employee Plan (each, an “Intel
Actuary”) to determine, as of the Intel Employee Liability Date, the Intel Funded
Employee Plan Amount for the relevant Intel Funded Employee Plan in accordance with FAS 158
on a projected benefit obligation basis based on actuarial assumptions no less favorable
than those used in the most recent actuarial report prepared for the relevant Intel Funded
Employee Plan. The actuarial calculations and assumptions of the Intel Actuary may be
reviewed for accuracy by an actuary designated by Holdings (the “Holdings Actuary”).
If the Intel Actuary and the Holdings Actuary cannot reach an agreement as to the proper
determination for the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount with respect to an Intel Funded
Employee Plan, Intel and Holdings shall refer such matter to an independent third-party
actuary (which actuary shall be mutually agreeable to Intel and Holdings) (the “Third
Actuary”) for
resolution. Promptly, but in no event later than 45 days after such referral, the
Third Actuary shall review the Intel Actuary’s calculation of the relevant Intel Funded
Employee Plan Amount and the Holdings Actuary’s objection and calculations with respect
thereto, and shall provide each of Intel and Holdings a written statement of its decision as
to the issues in dispute and the determination of the Intel Funded Employee Plan Amount.
Such determination shall be final and binding for all purposes. The fees and expenses of
the Intel Actuary and the Holdings Actuary shall be borne by Intel. The fees and expenses
of the Third Actuary shall be borne equally by Intel and Holdings.
(d) Consultation Obligations. Intel and Holdings shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, where and to the extent required by Applicable Law or by an applicable
collective bargaining, collective agreement, recognition arrangement or other similar
agreement or arrangement, inform and consult with employees, trade unions, works councils or
other employee representative bodies regarding the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including the offers of employment made pursuant to the Master Agreement.
(e) Non-Solicitation of Employees.
(i) Subject to Applicable Law, for two years following the Closing, without the
prior written consent of Holdings, Intel shall not, nor shall it permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, recruit or solicit any employee of Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, for purposes of this Agreement, the
“Numonyx Restricted Employees”) to leave his or her employment with Holdings
or such Subsidiary.
(ii) Except as (A) may be otherwise provided herein, (B) otherwise agreed by
Intel and Holdings, or (C) prohibited by Applicable Law, for two years following the
Closing Date, Holdings shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, recruit or solicit (x) any employee of Intel or any of its
Subsidiaries other than those Intel Business Employees who become
45
employed by
Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings in accordance with the terms of the Master
Agreement, (y) any Intel Business Employee who declines an offer of employment from
or objects to his or her transfer to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or (z) any
employee of IM Flash Technologies, LLC, IM Flash Singapore, LLP, or any of their
respective Subsidiaries, to leave his or her employment with Intel, IM Flash
Technologies, LLC, IM Flash Singapore, LLP, or any such Subsidiary (collectively,
for purposes of this Agreement, the “Intel ATA Restricted Employees”).
(iii) Neither the placement of employment advertisements or other general
solicitation for employees not specifically targeted to any Numonyx Restricted
Employee or Intel ATA Restricted Employee, as the case may be, by any means,
including through the use of hiring agencies or through employees of each Party who
are unaware of the prohibitions against the solicitation of the Numonyx Restricted
Employees or Intel ATA Restricted Employees, as the case may be, shall be a
recruitment or solicitation prohibited by this Section 5.11(e)
provided that any such hiring agencies and employees are not instructed by
persons who knew about the prohibition on the solicitation of such Restricted
Employees to solicit for hire such Restricted Employees. If a Party (or any
Subsidiary thereof) inadvertently violates the prohibition against the solicitation
of Restricted Employees, such Party shall (or it shall cause its applicable
Subsidiary to), as soon as it is aware it has committed a violation of this section,
notify the other Party who formerly employed such Restricted Employee and either
withdraw any offer to the solicited individual or ensure that such person, if hired,
is restricted from working on, consulting on, or having any knowledge with respect
to matters which are designated by written notice by the Party that formerly
employed such employee in its reasonable discretion as competitively sensitive
matters, in which event such inadvertent action shall not be deemed to be a breach
of this Section 5.11(e) so long as there is no repetitive pattern of such
actions.
(f) Holdings Employee Recruitment. For a period of six months following the
Closing Date, Holdings agrees to notify Intel of any employment opportunities at Holdings or
a Subsidiary of Holdings within a reasonable period of time before the placement of
employment advertisements or other general solicitation, including the use of hiring
agencies, with respect to such employment opportunities.
5.12 Protection of Privacy. The Customer Data of Intel has been collected by Intel
over the Internet under the conditions set forth in the Intel Privacy Policy attached to
Schedule 5.12 of the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter (the “Intel Privacy Policy”) and
is transferred to Holdings and its Subsidiaries subject to the obligations set forth in the Intel
Privacy Policy. Holdings covenants and agrees that it will not use, and will cause its
Subsidiaries not to use, such Customer Data in any manner that conflicts with the terms of the
Intel Privacy Policy.
5.13 Export Compliance. From and after the Closing Date, Holdings and each of its
Subsidiaries shall comply at its own expense with all conditions and requirements imposed on
Holdings and its Subsidiaries required to comply with all applicable U.S. Export Administration
46
Regulations and such other similar regulations, including any applicable export regulations of
foreign jurisdictions, that are imposed on the Intel Transferred Assets. Holdings agrees that it
will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, export, either directly or indirectly, any Intel
Product or associated technology or systems incorporating such Intel Product without first
obtaining any required license or other approval from the appropriate host Governmental Authority
with appropriate authority.
5.14 Satisfaction of Intel Pre-Closing Product Obligations. After the Closing,
Holdings agrees to satisfy and to cause its Subsidiaries to satisfy any and all Intel Pre-Closing
Product Obligations. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in the Transaction Documents, Holdings
shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Holdings to, on a monthly basis, following the month in which
the transactions occur, or any other periodic basis as agreed by the Parties, deliver to Intel a
written statement of costs reasonably incurred by Holdings and its Subsidiaries in satisfying any
such Intel Pre-Closing Product Obligations, which statement shall set forth all such Intel
Pre-Closing Product
Obligations satisfied by Holdings and its Subsidiaries during such period. Promptly following
receipt of such statement, Intel shall reimburse Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings, as
appropriate, for all such costs.
5.15 Additional Intel Financial Statements.
(a) For 12 months following the Closing Date (or if later, the date of completion of
the audit of the Intel annual financial statements for the year in which the Closing Date
occurs), Intel shall, in good faith, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Holdings
or Numonyx with its preparation of such financial statements, for such periods prior to the
Closing Date as may be required for Holdings or Numonyx, as the case may be, to undertake a
registered public offering of debt securities or Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, it
being understood that in connection with any such registered offering Holdings or Numonyx,
as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers from certain
financial statement requirements, provided that any failure by Holdings or Numonyx, as the
case may be to obtain any such waiver shall not relieve Intel from its obligations under
this Section 5.15(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate
Intel to provide any audited financial statement or information to Holdings or a Subsidiary
of Holdings or to submit to an audit by Holdings’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ auditors of
any financial statement or information or books and records of Intel.
(b) By the earlier of (i) 18 months after the Closing Date and (ii) as reasonably
required in connection with the refinancing of the Contemplated Financing, Intel shall
deliver to Numonyx an audited statement of selected assets and an audited statement of
revenues and direct expenses for the Intel Business as of and for the year ended December
29, 2007 (the “Intel Business 2007 Financial Statements”). The Intel
Business 2007
Financial Statements shall be prepared to report the Intel Business as it has been reported
in Intel’s consolidated financial statements applying applicable GAAP and following the
presentation basis adopted by Intel in its consolidated financial statements.
5.16 Settlement of Claims. Intel shall not settle, or make any binding offer to
settle, any material Claim or Proceeding relating to the Intel Business unless such settlement
would not
47
encumber any assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, impose any obligation or
other Liability on Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, impose any restriction that would apply to
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct of Holdings’ or its Subsidiaries’ business, or
include any acknowledgment of validity, enforceability, infringement, or Claim interpretation with
regard to any of the Intellectual Property relating to such Claim or Proceeding.
5.17 Retained Equipment; D2 Equipment; Pudong Equipment.
(a) From and after the Closing Date, Intel shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to:
(i) retain physical possession of the D2 Equipment until the earlier of (A) the date upon
which such D2 Equipment is removed therefrom pursuant to a Numonyx
Removal Notice (as defined below) and (B) 60 days after completion of sorted wafer
manufacturing for Holdings and its Subsidiaries using the D2 Equipment and the receipt by
Holdings from Intel of written notice of such completion (such date, the “D2 Removal
Date”); (ii) retain physical possession of the Retained Equipment at the facilities
where they are located, and to store, for the benefit of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, such
Retained Equipment, or portion thereof, until removed by Holdings or one of its Subsidiaries
at such time as is mutually agreed by the Parties (the “Retained Equipment Removal
Date” and the D2 Removal Date each may be referred to herein as a “Removal
Date”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein; and (iii) retain
(A) legal title of the Intel Pudong Option Property until such title is transferred pursuant
to and in accordance with the terms of the Intel Pudong Services Agreement and (B) both
physical possession of and legal title to the Pudong Equipment until possession is
transferred pursuant to and accordance with the terms of the Intel Pudong Services
Agreement; legal title to the Pudong Equipment shall be transferred in accordance with
Schedule 2.1(a)(ii) as soon as practicable upon written request of Numonyx, in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that in the event that
any Governmental Approval is required for the removal of any of such D2 Equipment, Holdings
and Intel shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Governmental
Approval as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and in the event that such
Governmental Approvals are not obtained within 45 days prior to the D2 Removal Date set
forth above, the D2 Removal Date shall be extended to that date which is 45 days after all
such Governmental Approvals have been obtained; provided, further, that in the event that
any Governmental Approval is required for the removal of any of such Retained Equipment,
Holdings and Intel shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such
Governmental Approval as soon as practicable after the Closing Date or as otherwise agreed
by Intel and Holdings.
(b) Holdings shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable
efforts to make all arrangements necessary to ensure that (i) the Retained Equipment is
removed from the premises of Intel and its Subsidiaries as soon as reasonably practicable
after the Closing, unless otherwise agreed by Intel and Holdings, (ii) the D2 Equipment is
removed from the premises of Intel and its Subsidiaries as soon as reasonably practicable
following the completion of the applicable sorted wafer manufacturing set forth in
Section 5.17(a) and the receipt of notice thereof from Intel and in any event prior
to the D2 Removal Date; and (iii) the Pudong Equipment is removed from the premises of Intel
48
and its Subsidiaries, as appropriate, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the
Intel Pudong Services Agreement.
(c) From and after the Closing Date until 15 days prior to each applicable Removal
Date, Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings may notify Intel in writing of Holdings’ or such
Subsidiary’s intention to remove the D2 Equipment or the Retained Equipment from the
premises of Intel or its Subsidiaries. Each such notice (a “Numonyx Removal
Notice”) shall describe in reasonable detail the arrangements for the removal and
transportation of the D2 Equipment or the Retained Equipment, as the case may be, including
(i) the dates on which Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings proposes to begin and complete
the removal of the D2 Equipment or the Retained Equipment, (ii) the identity of any third
party contractors that Holdings or such Subsidiary of Holdings
proposes to engage in connection therewith and (iii) with respect to any D2 Equipment,
a reasonable estimate of the third party costs expected to be incurred by Holdings or such
Subsidiary in connection therewith.
(d) All reasonable and documented third party costs of removing D2 Equipment from the
premises of Intel or its Subsidiaries and transporting D2 Equipment to the premises of
Holdings or its Subsidiaries shall be borne by Intel. Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings
shall remove the D2 Equipment in its entirety from the premises of Intel and its
Subsidiaries prior to the Removal Date applicable thereto. The removal of the D2 Equipment
shall be effected during regular business hours in a manner reasonably intended to minimize
disruption and without causing damage to the affected Intel facility. Intel shall have the
right to approve in advance (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
any third party contractors that Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings proposes to engage to
complete such removal or transportation. In the event that any D2 Equipment is not removed
from the premises of Intel or its Subsidiaries prior to the Removal Date applicable thereto,
Intel may treat such D2 Equipment as abandoned property and may have such D2 Equipment
removed from the applicable Intel facility or may sell such D2 Equipment and remit the
proceeds of such sale (net of all direct and indirect costs of sale and expenses incurred by
Intel and its Subsidiaries) to Holdings.
(e) As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, Holdings shall or shall
cause one of its Subsidiaries to label or otherwise clearly identify all Retained Equipment
as equipment that is owned by Holdings or such Subsidiary. Intel shall provide Holdings and
its Subsidiaries reasonable access to the Retained Equipment in order to allow Holdings and
its Subsidiaries to so label the Retained Equipment.
(f) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Intel Ancillary Agreements, Holdings and
its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for any and all maintenance or repair of the Retained
Equipment required on and after the Closing Date. Intel shall provide Holdings and its
Subsidiaries reasonable access to the Retained Equipment in order to inspect it and to
perform such maintenance or repair.
(g) Risk of loss or damage to the Retained Equipment shall transfer to Holdings and its
Subsidiaries effective as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Intel shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to prevent damage to the Retained Equipment and to
49
provide
reasonable notice to Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings of any damage to the Retained
Equipment of which Intel becomes aware.
(h) All reasonable and documented third party costs of removing Retained Equipment from
the premises of Intel or its Affiliates and transporting Retained Equipment to the premises
of Holdings or its Subsidiaries shall be borne by Holdings or one of its Subsidiaries. The
removal of the Retained Equipment shall be effected during regular business hours in a
manner reasonably intended to minimize disruption and without causing damage to the affected
Intel facility. Intel shall have the right to approve in advance (which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any third party contractors that Holdings or a
Subsidiary of Holdings proposes to engage to complete such removal or transportation.

4.12(c) of the Master Agreement, Intel and Holdings shall execute and deliver, or shall cause its
respective applicable Subsidiary to execute and deliver, such instruments of transfer and
assignment and assumption agreements as are reasonably necessary to effect the transfer of such
Intel Transferred Assets or Intel Transferred Liabilities, or to reflect the removal of an asset
which is not an Intel Transferred Asset or Intel Transferred Liability, as the case may be.

warranty, covenant or indemnity specifying in reasonable detail the facts on which the claim is
based shall have been delivered to the Indemnitor prior to the expiration of such representation,
warranty, covenant, or indemnity, such representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity shall be
deemed to be of no further force or effect, as if never made, and no action may be brought based on
the same, whether for indemnification, breach of contract, tort or under any other legal theory.
All covenants and agreements of the Parties otherwise set forth in this Agreement with respect to
Excluded Liabilities or actions of the Parties following the Closing shall survive indefinitely to
the extent necessary to give effect to their terms.
6.2 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification Provisions for Holdings and Numonyx. Subject to the
provisions of Section 6.1, from and after the Closing Date, the Holdings Indemnitees
shall be indemnified and held harmless by Intel from and against and in respect of any and
all Losses (as defined below) incurred by any Holdings Indemnitee resulting from:

contained in this Agreement, the Intel Entity Capitalization and Assignment
Agreement, or in the certificates furnished to Holdings pursuant to Sections
5.2(a) and 5.3(a) of the Master Agreement (disregarding the
qualifications as to Intel Material Adverse Effect expressly set forth in such
certificates in accordance with Sections 5.2(a) and 5.3(a));

all Losses (as defined below) incurred by any Intel Indemnitee, resulting from:
(i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representations or warranties made by
Holdings or Numonyx in this Agreement or the Intel Entity Capitalization and
Assignment Agreement, other than any such inaccuracy or breach that results from any
action that (A) Holdings or any of its Affiliates is required to take hereunder or
thereunder or (B) Intel has approved under the Master Agreement;
(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by
Holdings or Numonyx pursuant to this Agreement or the Intel Entity Capitalization

(iii) any failure of Holdings or an Affiliate of Holdings to satisfy any Intel
Transferred Liabilities, other than the Intel Excluded Liabilities; and
(iv) any Taxes or expenses required to be paid by Holdings, Numonyx or any of
their Affiliates under this Agreement.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Indemnitee” shall mean either a
Holdings Indemnitee or an Intel Indemnitee, as the case may be, and the term
“Indemnitor” shall mean either Holdings or Intel, as the case may be.
(d) Notwithstanding the above, Losses shall not include expenses incurred in connection
with investigations unless a claim is made by a third party against the Indemnitee.
(e) No Holdings Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses covered
by Section 6.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses of the Holdings
Indemnitees shall exceed $15,000,000 (the “Intel ATA Basket”), at which time all
such Losses incurred in excess of the Intel ATA Basket shall be subject to indemnification
by the relevant Indemnitor hereunder. The Intel ATA Basket shall not
apply to Losses
covered by Section 3.2 (Authorization and Enforceability), Section 3.10 (Tax
Matters), Section 3.12(a) (Pension Plans), Section 3.15 (Environmental
Matters), Section 3.22(a) and (b) (Organization and Capitalization of the
Transferred Entities) or Sections 6.2(a)(ii)-(iv). No Intel Indemnitee shall be
entitled to indemnification for any Losses covered by Section 6.2(b)(i) until the
aggregate amount of all such losses of the Intel Indemnitees shall exceed $15,000,000
(“Holdings ATA Basket”), at which time all such losses incurred in excess of the
Holdings ATA Basket shall be subject to indemnification by the relevant Indemnitor
hereunder. The Holdings ATA Basket shall not apply to
52
Losses covered by Sections
6.2(b)(ii)-(iv).
(f) The amount of any Losses otherwise recoverable under this Section 6.2 shall
be reduced by (i) any amounts which the Indemnitees actually receive under insurance
policies, net of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of recovery, the Parties
hereby acknowledging and agreeing that as soon as practicable after becoming aware of such
Losses and in any event prior to payment of any amount of Losses
otherwise recoverable under this Section 6.2, the Indemnitee must first seek
reimbursement for any and all Losses from any applicable insurance coverage (and that any
compensation provided under this Agreement is not to be deemed insurance for any purpose),
and (ii) any reduction in Tax otherwise actually payable by the Indemnitees (or their
Subsidiaries) (net of related Tax and out of pocket costs incurred in connection with such
reduction) with respect to the taxable year of such Persons in which the payment of such
indemnity is due or a prior taxable year, including refunds of Taxes (net of such Tax and
other out-of-pocket costs) previously paid by such Persons with respect to such taxable
years to the extent the claim for refund may be filed in such years.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2(a), Losses for
which a Holdings Indemnitee may claim indemnification under this Agreement shall not include
Taxes arising in Post-Closing Tax Periods, determined in the manner provided in Section
5.8(b), except for (i) interest, penalties and additions to Tax accrued with
respect to Taxes arising in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) Losses arising from a breach of
the representation set forth in Section 3.10(d)(vi), and (iii) Losses for Taxes that
are allocated to Intel pursuant to Section 5.8.
(h) For any additions or modifications to the schedules to the Intel ATA Disclosure
Letter made by Intel under Section 4.12(d) of the Master Agreement (i) to correct
inaccuracies of the Specified Intel Representations (including those representations and
warranties which are expressed with respect to a date prior to the date of the Master
Agreement) for facts, events or circumstances occurring prior to or existing on and as of
the date of the Master Agreement, and, in the case of a representation or warranty made to
the Knowledge of Intel, of which Intel had Knowledge on such date), (ii) to reflect any
facts, events or circumstances which resulted from a breach of Section 4.9 of the
Master Agreement, or (iii) to update, correct or otherwise modify any of the representations
and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 (Authorization and Enforceability),
Section 3.4 (Non-contravention), Section 3.7 (Litigation), Section
3.9 (Compliance with Applicable Laws), Section 3.10 (Tax Matters), Section
3.11 (Intellectual Property), Section 3.13 (Financial Information), Section
3.14 (Absence of Certain Changes), Section 3.17 (Intel Transferred Assets),
Section 3.20 (Inventories), Section 3.21 (Advisory Fees),
Section
3.22 (Transferred Entities and Transferred Interests), and Section 3.23
(Investment Representations), for any reason, then, in each case, the Holdings Indemnitees
shall be entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to, and subject to the limitations
set forth in this Article VI, to the same extent as if such additions and
modifications had not been made.
6.3 Manner of Indemnification.
53
(a) Each indemnification claim shall be made only in accordance with this
Article VI.
(b) If an Indemnitee wishes to make a claim for Losses under Article VI of this
Agreement, Indemnitee shall deliver a Notice of Claim to the applicable Indemnitor promptly
after becoming aware of the facts giving rise to such claim. The Notice of
Claim shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of the claim being made, and
(ii) state the aggregate dollar amount of such claim.
(c) Following receipt by an Indemnitor of a Notice of Claim, the Parties shall promptly
meet to agree on the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims.
If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared
and signed by both Parties and amounts agreed upon shall be promptly paid. Any unresolved
dispute between the Parties shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.10 and
Section 7.11 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement.
6.4 Third-Party Claims. If Holdings or Numonyx becomes aware of a claim of a third
party (including for all purposes of this Section 6.4, any Governmental Authority) that
Holdings or Numonyx believes, in good faith, may result in a claim by it or any other Holdings
Indemnitee against Intel, Holdings or Numonyx shall notify Intel of such claim as promptly as
practicable; provided, that any failure to so notify Intel shall not relieve Intel of its
obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially adversely prejudiced
Intel. Intel shall have the right, but not the duty, to assume and conduct the defense of such
claim at its expense; provided, however, that Intel may not assume control of the defense of a suit
or proceeding involving criminal liability. Intel shall conduct such defense in a commercially
reasonable manner, and shall be authorized to settle any such claim without the consent of any
Holdings Indemnitee, provided, however, that: (a) Intel shall not be authorized to encumber any
assets of any Holdings Indemnitee or agree to any restriction that would apply to any Holdings
Indemnitee or the conduct of any Holdings Indemnitee’s business; (b) Intel shall have paid or
caused to be paid any amounts arising out of such settlement; (c) a condition to any such
settlement shall be a complete release of Holdings and any other Holdings Indemnitee against whom
such claim has been made with respect to such third party claim; and (d) Intel shall not be
authorized to settle any claim that would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on a Tax
liability of Holdings or Numonyx, as the case may be, that is not subject to indemnification by
Intel hereunder without the consent of Holdings or Numonyx, as the case may be, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. With respect to any claim for which Intel assumes the
defense of Holdings or Numonyx, Holdings or Numonyx, as applicable, shall be entitled to
participate in (but not control) the defense of such third party claim, with its own counsel and at
its own expense, and Holdings or Numonyx, as the case may be, shall take such
action as Intel shall
reasonably request to assist Intel in the defense of any such third party claim, provided that
Intel shall reimburse Holdings or Numonyx, as applicable, for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in taking any such requested action. If Intel does not assume the defense of any third
party claim in accordance with the provisions hereof, Holdings and Numonyx may defend such third
party claim in a commercially reasonable manner and may settle such third party claim after giving
written notice of the terms thereof to Intel, and such legal expenses shall be indemnifiable Losses
hereunder to the extent that Holdings or Numonyx is determined to be entitled to indemnification
hereunder for such third party claim.
54
6.5 Exclusive Remedy and Waiver and Release of Certain Claims.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for monetary
damages of the Indemnitees from and after the Closing Date for any Losses arising under this
Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including claims
of breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any covenant set forth in
Section 4.9 of the Master Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of
this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any Party of any right to specific performance
or injunctive relief but shall be deemed a waiver of any rights of rescission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) the maximum aggregate liability
of Intel to Holdings Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VI or otherwise under this
Agreement, Applicable law or otherwise (other than Uncapped Intel Losses) shall be limited
to $86,400,000 (the “Intel ATA Cap”); and (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries to the Intel Indemnitees for Losses pursuant to this
Article VI or otherwise under this Agreement (other than with respect to Losses
pursuant to a breach of Section 4.2 (Authorization and Enforceability) and
Section 4.4 (Capitalization) and Losses pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(iii)),
Applicable Law or otherwise shall be limited to the Intel ATA Cap. Nothing in this
Agreement limits or otherwise affects in any way the rights and remedies of either Party
with respect to causes of action arising under the Intel Intellectual Property Agreement,
the Intel Facility Transfer Agreements and the Intel Transition Services Agreement, or any
rights and remedies of Intel or Holdings or their respective Affiliates vis-à-vis any Person
other than Intel or Holdings or their respective Affiliates with respect to any infringement
or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property of Intel or Holdings or any Affiliate of
Holdings, as the case may be (including any right of Intel or Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries to seek equitable or injunctive relief in connection therewith), all of which
rights and remedies are expressly reserved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the existence of
this Section 6.5 and the rights and restrictions set forth in this Article
VI do not limit any other potential remedies of the Indemnitees with respect to fraud by
any Party.
(b) Except with respect to the specific remedies identified in Section 6.5(a)
above, the Parties hereby waive and release any and all claims, causes of action, and rights
as against one another for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the
assets and liabilities that are allocated herein, based upon statute or common law. This
waiver and release specifically includes, without in any way limiting the scope of the
foregoing waiver and release, any claims the Parties may have against one another based upon
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section
9601 et seq. or any other Applicable Law under which the Parties or their Affiliates would
otherwise have any cause of action against one another.
6.6 Subrogation. If the Indemnitor makes any payment under this Article VI in
respect of any Losses, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to the
rights of the Indemnitee against any insurer or third party with respect to such Losses; provided,
however, that the Indemnitor shall not have any rights of subrogation with respect to the other
Party hereto or any of its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors, agents
or employees.
55
6.7 Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, no Party (or its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable to the
other Party (or its Affiliates) for any consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss
of revenue or income, cost of capital, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to
the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not seek punitive
damages as to any matter under, relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
6.8 Environmental Indemnification Procedures.
(a) Intel, Holdings and Numonyx agree that the Indemnitor shall have the sole right to
disclose, report, further investigate, negotiate, perform and settle any Intel Facility
Environmental Liability or conduct any Remedial Action in connection therewith for which
such Indemnitor may have liability hereunder, and the Indemnitee will provide the Indemnitor
access and any other rights, as necessary, to the Intel Transferred Owned Real Property, the
Intel Transferred Leased Real Property, or any other real property under the Indemnitee’s
control for purposes of investigating and performing any such Remedial Action. Such terms
of access shall provide for reasonable protections to the Indemnitee’s operations to
minimize disruption and protect its employees. Nonetheless, if at any time following the
Closing Date, the Indemnitor has not taken action to disclose, report, further investigate,
negotiate, perform and settle any Intel Facility Environmental Liability or conduct any
Remedial Action in connection therewith for which such Indemnitor may have liability
hereunder, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee will have
the right, after first providing written notice to the Indemnitor and a reasonable period
for the Indemnitor to respond (at a minimum 30 days) and subject to the rights of the
Indemnitor set forth in Section 6.8(c) below, to disclose, report, further
investigate, negotiate, perform and settle any Intel Facility Environmental Liability or
conduct any Remedial Action in connection therewith; provided that the Indemnitor’s duty to
indemnify under Section 6.1 of the Agreement for Intel Facility Environmental
Liabilities shall not apply to the extent that the Indemnitee’s actions fail to comply with
paragraph (b), below. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with
any action taken pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 6.8(a) the
Indemnitee will, subject to the rights of the Indemnitor pursuant to the terms of
Section 6.8(c) below, have the right to: report the results of any testing to the
appropriate Governmental Authorities if required by an applicable Environmental Law; enter
the property into a voluntary remediation or similar program; take whatever steps are
necessary to obtain a NFA Letter from the appropriate Governmental Authorities or, in the
event such Governmental Authorities do not provide a NFA Letter in comparable situations or
in the event they refuse to do so, comply with any obligations of any Applicable Law,
including any Environmental Law, in effect at the time; and respond to any claim by any
third party with respect to any Intel Facility Environmental Liability; provided that the
Indemnitor’s duty to indemnify under Section 6.1 of the Agreement for Intel Facility
Environmental Liabilities shall not apply to the extent that the Indemnitee’s actions fail
to comply with paragraph (b), below.
(b) The
Parties agree that any Remedial Action undertaken by Intel or Holdings or any
Subsidiary of Holdings to obtain any NFA Letter (to the extent permitted by the
56
Governmental
Authority issuing such NFA Letter) or comply with any Applicable Law, including any
Environmental Law, in effect at the time: shall employ a reasonably cost-effective method
under the circumstances, based on the use of the property for industrial (as opposed to
residential or commercial) purposes, shall not exceed the least stringent requirement
imposed by any clearly applicable Environmental Laws in effect at the time, including as
applicable, within the context of obtaining a NFA Letter or complying with Applicable Law,
shall make reasonable use of institutional and engineering controls reasonably acceptable to
both Holdings and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand and Intel, on the other hand, such as
deed restrictions, signs, fencing, buffers, and controls, to the extent permitted by
Governmental Authorities; provided that such institutional and engineering controls shall
not (i) unreasonably restrict or limit the industrial activities currently being performed
and those which Intel or Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings expects to perform on any
Intel Transferred Owned Real Property or any Intel Transferred Leased Real Property or
associated services shared in any fashion between Intel and Holdings or an Affiliate of
Holdings, or (ii) fail to address a material risk of off-site migration of any Hazardous
Substances, and shall take advantage of applicable risk assessment principles, where
practicable, set forth in applicable Environmental Laws in effect at the time.
(c) After the Closing, on any Remedial Action that either Party undertakes pursuant to
the third sentence of Section 6.8(a), the acting Party shall:
(i) cooperate with the other Party as much as possible, including, but not
limited to, keeping the other Party reasonably informed related to the progress of
such matters (including, providing the other Party with copies of material plans,
reports and external correspondence), permitting the other Party to be present at
the property during, and providing Intel reasonable advance notice prior to, the
execution of any significant Remedial Actions (including testing), and ensuring that
the other Party is provided reasonable advance notice of any scheduled voice or
in-person conferences with regulators or other third parties;
(ii) ensure that such conferences are held on dates, and at places and times,
mutually convenient to the other Party, that the other Party is provided all
relevant information relating to such conferences, as and when generated or received
by the acting Party (but in all events reasonably far in advance of any conference
to permit the other Party’s informed participation therein), and that
Intel and its
agents are afforded a reasonable opportunity to participate therein. The Parties
shall use reasonable efforts, including by making their respective agents available
on a mutually convenient basis, to work together on the strategy and conduct of such
conferences; and
(iii) ensure that the other Party is given the opportunity to obtain duplicate
soil, groundwater and other samples if such samples are taken in connection with any
Remedial Action (including testing).

failure or delay by a Party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude

privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights or remedies provided under Applicable Law.
7.3 Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 5.8(c) hereof and Section

benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and
permitted assigns. No Party hereto may transfer or assign either this Agreement or any of its
rights, interests or obligations hereunder, whether
directly or indirectly, by operation of law, merger or otherwise, without the prior written
approval of each other Party. No such transfer or assignment shall relieve the transferring or
assigning Party of its obligations hereunder if such transferee or assignee does not perform such
obligations.
7.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and this
Agreement and any disputes or controversies related hereto shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof that

excluding the portion deemed to be unenforceable, the remaining terms shall provide for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in substantially the same manner as originally
set forth at the later of the date this Agreement was executed or last amended.
7.10 Dispute Resolution.
(a) With the exception of disputes involving Intellectual Property ownership and
infringement issues, and disputes governed by Section 2.7, Section 2.8,
Section 2.9
or Section 5.8(g) hereof, any dispute arising under this
Agreement shall be finally resolved by arbitration. The Parties waive their right to any
form of appeal to a court on any questions of law arising out of the arbitration award. Any
dispute or claim between
the Parties which is beyond the scope of this Section shall be submitted to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the Federal courts of the
United States of America located in the State of New York. The Parties hereby consent to and
grant any such court jurisdiction over such Parties and over the subject matter of such
dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action
or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 7.1 or in such other manner as may
be permitted by Applicable Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
(b) Mediation. Prior to arbitration, however, the Party making the original
claim shall provide the other Party with a written description of the dispute or claim and
one or more of the senior executives of each Party shall meet in an attempt to resolve such
dispute or claim. If the disagreements cannot be resolved by the senior management after 90
days from the date any Party made a written demand for resolution, a binding arbitration
shall be held.
62
(c) Arbitration Rules. The rules of the arbitration shall be agreed upon by
the Parties prior to the arbitration and shall be based upon the nature of the disagreement.
To the extent that the Parties cannot agree on the rules of the arbitration after 30 days
from the date any Party makes a written demand for resolution, then, subject to Section
7.10(d), the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC in effect as of the Closing Date shall
apply.
(d) Mandatory Rules. As a minimum set of rules in the arbitration the Parties
agree as follows:
(i) The arbitration shall be held by one arbitrator appointed by mutual
agreement of the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator within
15 days from the date written demand for arbitration has been received by the other
Party, each Party shall identify one independent individual. The individuals
appointed by the Parties shall then meet to appoint a single arbitrator. If an
arbitrator still cannot be agreed upon within an additional 15 day period, he or she
shall be appointed by the ICC.
(ii) The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. Hearings and
meetings shall be held in New York or at such other place as the Parties may agree.
(iii) The English language shall be used in the proceedings. Documents and
written testimonies may be submitted in any language provided that the Party
submitting such documents and testimonies shall provide, at its own expense, a
translation of the same in the English language.
(iv) The arbitrator shall specify the basis for the award, the basis for the
damages award and a breakdown of the damages awarded, and the basis of any other
remedy authorized under this section. The award shall be considered as a final and
binding resolution of the dispute or claim.
(v) The Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the arbitral
proceedings, the existence of the same and the status of the hearings. In addition,
the Parties undertake to maintain the confidentiality of any document exchanged
in, produced in, or created by the Parties for the arbitration proceedings as well
as the confidentiality of the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
disclosure of the arbitral proceedings, or of any of the documents exchanged in,
produced in or created for the arbitration proceedings or if the disclosure of the
award is required by Applicable Law or is compelled by a court or Governmental
Authority: (A) the Parties shall use the legitimate and legal means available to
minimize the scope of their disclosure to third parties; and (B) the Party compelled
to make the disclosure shall inform the other Party and the arbitrator at least 20
Business Days in advance of the disclosure (or if 20 Business Days’ notice is not
practicable because the Party is required to make the disclosure less than 20
Business Days after becoming aware of the event or occurrence giving rise to such
disclosure requirement, then notice to the other Party and the arbitrator shall be
provided as soon as practicable after such event or occurrence).
63
(vi) The duty of the Parties to arbitrate any dispute or claim within the scope
of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for
any reason. The Parties specifically agree that any action must be brought, if at
all, within two years from discovery of the cause of action.
(vii) The discretion of the arbitrator to fashion remedies shall be no broader
than the legal and equitable remedies available to a court (unless the parties
expressly agree otherwise prior to the start of arbitration). In no event, however,
shall the arbitrator award a remedy which enjoins a Party or its customers to stop
manufacturing, using, marketing, selling, offering for sale, or importing such
Party’s products. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no event, shall the arbitrator award a remedy which enjoins a Party to license to
the other Party any of its intellectual property rights of whatever nature. The
arbitrator will have no authority to award damages in excess of compensatory damages
and each Party expressly waives and foregoes any right to punitive, exemplary or
similar damages, except as such damages may be required by statute. In no event
shall the amount of damages awarded to the prevailing Party exceed or otherwise be
inconsistent with any of the applicable limitations on damages set forth in this
Agreement, including Sections 6.2 and 6.5.
(viii) The arbitrator may not order any conservatory or interim relief measures
of any kind. In any event, however, either Party may apply for conservatory or
interim relief measures to the courts of the State of New York or the Federal courts
of the United States of America located in the State of New York which shall have
exclusive jurisdiction to grant such injunctive relief.
(ix) The Parties shall agree upon what, if any, disclosure to the other parties
to the arbitration shall be permitted. If the Parties can not agree on the form of
disclosure within 30 days after the appointment of the arbitrator, then the Parties
agree that in addition to the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC, the arbitrators shall
apply the IBA Rules of Evidence. In case of conflict between Rules of
Arbitration of the ICC and the IBA Rules of evidence, the Rules of Arbitration
of the ICC shall prevail. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no
event shall anything verbally or in writing used strictly for settlement purposes
between the Parties be permitted by the arbitration to be used as evidence for
either Party’s case.
(x) The Parties shall equally bear the costs of the arbitration. Each Party
shall bear the fees and expenses of its appointed experts and shall bear its own
legal expenses. For the purpose of this clause, the term “costs of arbitration”
includes only: (A) the fees and expenses of the arbitrator; (B) in the case of an
arbitration governed by the ICC Rules, the ICC administrative expenses fixed by the
Court of Arbitration of the ICC; and (C) the fees and expenses of any experts
appointed by the arbitrator.
64
7.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY
WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND
THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY
HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY
CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE
IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (d) EACH SUCH
PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.11.
7.12 Third Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement
to the contrary, neither ST nor FP shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary under this
Agreement for any purpose. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary
rights in any other Person, including any employee or former employee of Intel or ST or any of
their respective Affiliates (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof).
7.13 Specific Performance. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure
of any Party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all
actions as are necessary on its part to the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein,
may cause irreparable injury to the other Parties, for which damages, even if available, may not be
an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief
by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such Party’s obligations and to the
granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder.
7.14 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Intel, Holdings and Numonyx acknowledge
that Intel and each of the other shareholders of Holdings have been represented by counsel in
connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of
any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is
expressly waived.
