rights, powers and privileges incidental thereto, that such party is entitled to
acquire pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

instruments. It is also agreed and understood that there are no warranties
whatsoever, express or implied, given by either party to this Agreement, as to
the condition, quality, merchantability or fitness of any of the assets,
businesses or other rights transferred or retained by the parties, as the case
may be, and all such assets, businesses and other rights shall be "as is, where
is" and "with all faults" (provided that the absence of warranties given by the
parties shall not negate the allocation of Liabilities under this Agreement and
shall have no effect on any manufacturers, sellers, or other third party
warranties that are intended to be transferred
7
with such assets), and inSilicon shall bear the economic and legal risks that
any conveyance shall prove to be insufficient to vest in it good and
marketable title, free and clear of any security interest, pledge, lien,
charge, claim, option, right to acquire, covenant, condition, restriction on
transfer or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Phoenix represents and warrants to inSilicon that it has good and
marketable title to the Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 2.4(a).
(b) Each party hereto understands and agrees that no party hereto is,
in this Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated by this
Agreement or otherwise, representing or warranting in any way that the obtaining
of any Consents, the execution and delivery of any amendatory agreements and the
taking of any filings or applications contemplated by this Agreement will
satisfy the provisions of any or all applicable laws or judgments or other
instruments or agreements relating to such assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall use commercially
reasonable efforts in the United States (and best efforts in jurisdictions
outside the United States) to obtain all Consents (including such Consents as
may be required by any Governmental Authority). The parties shall also use
commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings and applications
contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all such further actions as shall
be deemed reasonably necessary to preserve for each of Phoenix and inSilicon, to
the greatest extent reasonably feasible, consistent with this Agreement, the
economic and operational benefits of the allocation of assets and liabilities
provided for in this Agreement.
