The Consideration Fund shall not be used for any other purposes.
          (b) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (i) a letter of transmittal that shall specify that delivery of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed to have occurred, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof together with any required indemnity) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration, the form and substance of which letter of

15


 

transmittal and instructions shall be substantially as reasonably agreed to by the Company and Parent and prepared prior to the Closing.

No interest shall be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Book-Entry Shares or Certificates. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than a Person in whose name the Book-Entry Share or Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of such exchange that the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer and pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Book-Entry Share or Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

          (e) Any portion of the Consideration Fund (including any interest from or the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the applicable former stockholders of the Company nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation.

          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Paying Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any Person in respect of cash from the Consideration Fund

16


 

delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall not have been surrendered prior to the date on which any Merger Consideration in respect thereof would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, and any holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share who has not theretofore complied with this Article III with respect thereto shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration in respect thereof (if any).

          (h) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated hereby and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company in connection with this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to such Foreign Plan and no transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall cause such assets or insurance obligations to be less than such benefit obligations; and
          (iii) each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.

prosecution of any registrations or applications for registration of Company Intellectual Property Rights will not be deemed a breach of this Section 6.1(p); or

     Section 6.2 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any notice or other communication received from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (iii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Affiliates which relate to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth Section 7.2(a) or (b); provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall not have any effect on the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement for purposes of determining satisfaction of any condition contained herein.
     Section 6.3 Access to Information. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to afford to Parent, and to Parent’s directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors, agents and other representatives (the foregoing, with respect to any Person, its “Representatives”), reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice from Parent to their respective properties, books and records, and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, as promptly as practicable, furnish Parent and Merger Sub (i) a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or submitted by it pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws and a copy of any communication (including “comment letters”) received by the Company from the SEC concerning compliance with securities laws, and (ii) all other information as Parent may reasonably request regarding the business, assets, liabilities, employees and other aspects of the Post-Sale Company. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and the parties shall comply with, and shall cause their respective Representatives (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) to comply with, all of their respective obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide access to, or cause its Subsidiaries to provide access to, any information or documents which would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, (i) constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) otherwise violate any applicable Laws, (iii) result in a competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receiving material information which is competitively sensitive or (iv) breach any agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any third-party; provided, that with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), the Company shall use

45


 

its commercially reasonable efforts to, as applicable (A) develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters in a manner that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, (B) obtain the required consent of such third party to provide such access or disclosure, or (C) in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), enter into a joint defense agreement or implement such other arrangements to the extent the Company reasonably determines that doing so would permit the disclosure of such information without jeopardizing such privilege or violating applicable Law.
     Section 6.4 Acquisition Proposals.
          (a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall direct, and use best efforts to cause, its and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the Intel Buyer) conducted heretofore with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the return from all such Persons or cause the destruction of all copies of confidential information previously provided to such parties by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreements. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company will not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and will use its best efforts to cause its and their respective officers, directors, employees and other Representatives not to, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or knowingly induce or knowingly take any other action designed to or which would reasonably be expected to, directly or indirectly, lead to the making of any Acquisition Proposal or (ii) other than informing Persons of the provisions contained in this Section 6.4, participate or engage in negotiations or discussions with, or furnish any material nonpublic information to, any Person or take any action to knowingly facilitate any inquiries relating to, or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to notify parties to confidentiality agreements with the Company that Parent was a Process Participant (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and may respond to inquiries from such parties solely in respect of the same.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, in the event that the Company receives an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof in circumstances not involving a breach of this Agreement by the Company, the Company and its Board of Directors may engage in negotiations or substantive discussions (including, as a part thereof, making counterproposals) with, or furnish any information and other access to, any Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives or potential sources of financing if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result (including after the taking of any actions permitted by this Section 6.4(b) following such determination by the Company’s Board of Directors) in a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company

46


 

under applicable Law; provided that (x) prior to furnishing any material nonpublic information, the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood and agreed that such confidentiality agreement need not restrict the making of Acquisition Proposals (and related communications) to the Company or the Company’s Board of Directors, and shall contain provisions that expressly permit the Company to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.4); provided that such confidentiality agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with the Company; and (y) any such material nonpublic information so furnished has been previously provided to Parent or is provided to Parent substantially concurrently with it being so furnished to such Person or its Representatives. The Company shall provide Parent with a correct and complete copy of any confidentiality agreement entered into pursuant to this paragraph within twenty-four (24) hours of the execution thereof. The Company shall direct, and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 6.4(b). Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by the Company’s Subsidiaries or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.4(b) by the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company from taking or disclosing a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 or 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act, or otherwise making disclosure to comply with applicable Law; provided, that any such disclosure that constitutes a Change in Recommendation shall be subject to Section 6.4(c) (it being agreed that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or a factually accurate public statement by the Company that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed to be a Change in Recommendation).
          (c) Except as expressly provided or permitted by this Section 6.4(c), the Board of Directors of the Company shall not (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), or publicly propose to withdraw (or so modify), the recommendation by the Board of Directors of the Company of the Merger or this Agreement or (B) recommend, adopt or approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Acquisition Proposal (including, for these purposes (but subject to the parenthetical in the last sentence of Section 6.4(b), which disclosures shall not constitute the recommendation of an Acquisition Proposal), by taking no position with respect to the acceptance by the Company’s stockholders of a tender or exchange offer, which shall constitute the recommendation of an Acquisition Proposal) (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Change in Recommendation”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Affiliates to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.4(b)). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may make a Change in Recommendation if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under

47


 

applicable Law either (i) based only upon any fact, event, circumstance, development or change that is unknown to the Company’s Board of Directors as of the date hereof but becomes known prior to the Company Special Meeting (or if known, the magnitude or consequences of which were not reasonably foreseeable by the Company’s Board of Directors as of the date hereof) (an “Intervening Event”), or (ii) if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) that the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal which constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that no Change in Recommendation may be made (A) until after the fifth (5th) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to make a Change in Recommendation (a “Notice of Adverse Recommendation”) and specifying the reasons therefor, including, if the basis of the proposed action by the Company’s Board of Directors is (x) an Intervening Event, details of such event or (y) a Superior Proposal, the terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation and a new five (5) Business Day period) and (B) provided, that, during the five (5) Business Day period following the date of receipt of the Notice of Adverse Recommendation, if requested by Parent, the Company shall engage in good-faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that (v) the Intervening Event is no longer a basis for a Change in Recommendation or (w) the Acquisition Proposal that was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal is no longer a Superior Proposal, as applicable. Any Notice of Adverse Recommendation shall be accompanied by a copy of the most current version of any written agreement (or draft thereof) relating to the transaction that constitutes the related Superior Proposal. In determining whether to make a Change in Recommendation or in determining whether an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent (which changes may be based on changes to the terms of the Intel Purchase Agreement proposed by Intel Buyer) in response to a Notice of Adverse Recommendation or otherwise. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event Parent receives a Notice of Adverse Recommendation, Parent may, during such five (5) Business Day period, engage in discussions with the Intel Buyer with respect to modifications to the Intel Purchase Agreement related to such good faith negotiations with Parent and enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding in furtherance thereof provided that such agreement, arrangement or understanding is not materially adverse to the Company; it being understood and agreed that any agreement, arrangement or understanding which limits or impairs the ability of the Intel Buyer to engage in discussions with or provide information to any Person shall be deemed materially adverse to the Company.
          (d) In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 6.4, the Company shall promptly advise Parent in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt, if any proposal, offer or inquiry is received by, any information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company in respect of any Acquisition Proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such proposal, offer or inquiry and the terms and conditions thereof (and shall include with such notice copies of any written materials received from or on behalf of such Person relating to any Acquisition Proposal). The Company shall (i) keep Parent promptly and reasonably informed of all material developments

48


 

affecting the status and material details (including any material change to the terms thereof) of any such Acquisition Proposal and any discussions and negotiations concerning the material terms and conditions thereof and (ii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all material written correspondence relating to any such Acquisition Proposal exchanged between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Person making the proposal, offer, inquiry or request, on the other hand.
     Section 6.5 Employee Benefits.
          (a) For eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time, subject to any requirements imposed by local Law, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to, provide to those individuals who are employed by the Post-Sale Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) and who remain in the employment of the Surviving Corporation (i) base salary or hourly wage rates that, on an individual-by-individual basis, are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time (ii) total incentive compensation opportunities (excluding any (A) equity or equity-based compensation opportunities and (B) retention and other incentives implemented in connection with the Transactions) that, on an individual-by-individual basis, are no less favorable than the total incentive compensation opportunities (excluding any (A) equity or equity-based compensation opportunities, except to the extent deemed appropriate by Parent, and (B) retention and other incentives implemented in connection with the Transactions) available to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iii) employee benefits (excluding defined benefit and other pension plans) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits (excluding defined benefit and other pension plans) provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall have no obligation to provide equity based incentives or defined benefit or other pension plans to the Continuing Employees following the Effective Time. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to, cause any employee benefit plans covering any of the Continuing Employees following the Effective Time (collectively, the “Post-Closing Plans”) to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee (to the extent such service was recognized by the Company and its Affiliates under Benefit Plans) for all purposes of vesting, eligibility and benefit entitlement (but excluding benefit accruals), except to the extent such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period. Parent shall cause each Post-Closing Plan to waive pre-existing condition limitations to the extent waived or not applicable under the analogous Benefit Plan, and Parent shall cause the Continuing Employees to be given credit under the applicable Post-Closing Plan for amounts paid prior to the Effective Time during the year in which the Effective Time occurs under a corresponding Benefit Plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Post-Closing Plan.
          (b) Parent and the Company hereby agree that the occurrence of the Effective Time shall constitute a “Change in Control” for purposes of all Benefit Plans in which the term is relevant.
          (c) For eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to,

49


 

pay to any Continuing Employee whose service with Parent and its Affiliates is terminated during such eighteen (18) month period severance benefits that are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee under the terms of the Company severance plan or program in which such individual is eligible to participate as of the date hereof.
          (d) Following the date hereof, Parent and the Company shall cooperate, and the Company shall take all actions reasonably requested by Parent, on or prior to December 31, 2010, as are necessary to reduce and/or avoid the application of Section 280G of the Code to the payments to be made to the individuals whose names are set forth on Section 6.5(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (which actions may include, for example, accelerating the vesting or payment of equity awards or accelerating the payment of 2010 bonuses); provided, that in determining whether a Parent request is reasonable, the Company shall take into account potential material financial effects on the executives as well as the Company’s ability to retain the executives in the event the Closing does not occur.
          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall (i) create any right in any employee to continued employment by Parent, the Company, the Post-Sale Company, the Surviving Corporation or any respective Subsidiary thereof, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any respective Subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason or (ii) require Parent, the Company, the Post-Sale Company, the Surviving Corporation, or any respective Subsidiary thereof, to continue any Benefit Plan or prevent the amendment, modification, or termination thereof in accordance with plan terms after the Closing Date.
          (f) This Section 6.5 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.5, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.5 or is intended to be, shall constitute or be construed as an amendment to or modification of any employee benefit plan, program, arrangement or policy of Parent, the Company, the Post-Sale Company, the Surviving Corporation or any respective Subsidiary thereof.
          (g) Immediately following the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to terminate the employment of the individuals listed on Section 6.5(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Parent agrees that such terminations shall be treated as terminations of employment by the Surviving Corporation without “cause” for purposes of the employment agreements entered into between the Company and such individuals. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay each such individual all amounts contemplated for payment to such individual by his or her employment agreement, in each case in the manner and as determined by the terms of his or her employment agreement in effect on the date hereof, and in each case consistent with the methodologies utilized by the Company in the calculations previously delivered by the Company to Parent on September 14, 2010.
     Section 6.6 Publicity. Neither the Company nor Parent (nor any of their respective Affiliates) shall issue any press release or make any public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior agreement of the other party (and none of Parent or its Affiliates shall issue or make any press release or other

50


 

public announcement with respect to the Intel Purchase Agreement or the Intel Transaction without the prior agreement of the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any communications to be delivered orally, including by conference call or webcast, this Section 6.6 shall be deemed satisfied if, to the extent practicable, the disclosing party gives advance notice of such disclosure to the other party, including copies of any talking points, scripts or similar documents, and consults with the other party and considers in good faith any comments by such other party with respect thereto; provided, however, the prior agreement of the other party shall be required with respect to such disclosures to the extent that the non-disclosing party reasonably determines that any such disclosure would be materially adverse to the non-disclosing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences of this Section 6.6, (i) each party shall be permitted to issue any press release or make any public announcement or disclosure as provided by this Agreement or as may be required by Law or by any listing agreement with a national securities exchange, in which case the party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement or disclosure shall use its reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other party before making any such public announcements, and (ii) either party may make any oral or written public announcements, releases or statements without complying with the foregoing procedures if the substance of such announcements, releases or statements was publicly disclosed and previously subject to the foregoing requirements for agreement and/or consultation and consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will no longer be required to consult with Parent in connection with any such press release or public announcement if the Company’s Board of Directors has effected any Change in Recommendation or shall have resolved to do so.
     Section 6.7 Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance and Indemnification.
          (a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the Transactions), now existing in favor of the Company Indemnified Parties as provided in the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries or in any Contract, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, accurate and complete copies of which (or forms thereof) have been provided to Parent (except as provided herein), shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. Parent shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) (A) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the Transactions), to the fullest extent that the Company or its Subsidiaries would be permitted by applicable Law and (B) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to Company Indemnified Parties with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the Transactions) to the fullest extent required by the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that in the case of clauses (A) and (B), the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides a customary undertaking to repay such advances if it is finally determined that such Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to the applicable act or omission. Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitation of

director, officer, member of board of managers and employee liability that are no less favorable to the Company Indemnified Parties than those set forth in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions thereafter shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Company Indemnified Parties, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law.
          (b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.7(a), to the fullest extent that the Company would be permitted by applicable Law to do so, Parent shall (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to): (i) indemnify and hold harmless each D&O Indemnified Party against and from any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to: (A) any action or omission or alleged action or omission taken or not taken in such D&O Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time; or (B) this Agreement, the Intel Purchase Agreement and any of the Transactions; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any D&O Indemnified Party upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such D&O Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such D&O Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.7(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent shall not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all of the D&O Indemnified Parties covered by the claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.
          (c) Parent shall provide or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the D&O Indemnified Parties who are insured under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policies (a correct and complete copy of which has been made available to Parent) with insurance and indemnification policies, or “tail policies,” in each case, that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is no less favorable than the existing policies of the Company or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance (or an amount for any such “tail policy”) in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance prior to the date hereof; provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage (or cost of such tail policy) exceed such amount, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain policies (or a “tail policy”) with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. The D&O Indemnified Parties may be required to make reasonable application and provide reasonable and

52


 

customary representations and warranties to applicable insurance carriers for the purpose of obtaining such insurance.
          (d) The D&O Indemnified Parties and Company Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.7 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7.

Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party in enforcing its indemnity and other rights under this Section 6.7.
          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and shall be enforceable by the D&O Indemnified Parties and Company Indemnified Parties and their successors, heirs or representatives. In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger, or transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.
          (f) From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor the director and officer litigation reimbursement policy in effect as of the date hereof, a copy of which is set forth in Section 6.7(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.
     Section 6.8 Company Special Meeting; Proxy Statement.
          (a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare with Parent and file with the SEC a preliminary Proxy Statement and furnish the information required to be provided to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the DGCL and any other applicable Laws. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff and cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement has been cleared by the SEC for mailing to the stockholders of the Company. Each of the Company and Parent shall supply such information specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement necessary so that, at the date it is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders or at the time of the Company Special Meeting, the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Each of the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts so that the Proxy Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Parent or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors should become known to Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy

53


 

Statement, so that such document would not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. The Company agrees to provide Parent and its counsel any comments or communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement promptly after receipt of such comments or communications. Prior to the filing or mailing of the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect thereto, Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or any proposed responses to such comments or communications, and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent and its counsel.
          (b) The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC for mailing to the stockholders of the Company, in accordance with applicable Law and its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Company Special Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall not be diminished or otherwise affected by (i) the receipt, disclosure or commencement of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) or (ii) any proposed or actual change, qualification, withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation.
          (c) The Company shall, through the Board of Directors of the Company (in the case of clauses (i) and (ii)), but subject to the right to make a Change in Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.4, (i) recommend to the stockholders of the Company that such stockholders adopt this Agreement and give the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Board Recommendation”), (ii) include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to solicit the Company Stockholder Approval. If there shall have been a Change in Recommendation, the Company shall nevertheless submit this Agreement and the Merger to a vote of its stockholders, and the Proxy Statement and any and all accompanying materials (including, if the Change in Recommendation occurs after the mailing of the Proxy Statement to stockholders of the Company, the proxy card, which shall provide that signed proxies which do not specify the manner in which the Shares subject thereto are to be voted shall be voted “FOR” adopting this Agreement) shall be identical in form and content to proxy materials that would have been prepared by the Company had no Change in Recommendation been made, except for appropriate changes to the disclosure in the Proxy Statement stating that such Change in Recommendation has been made and, if applicable, describing matters relating to the Superior Proposal or Intervening Event giving rise to the Change in Recommendation to the extent required by applicable Law, and provided that the Company shall not be obligated to recommend to its stockholders the adoption of this Agreement or the approval of the Merger at the Company Special Meeting if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have made a Change in

54


 

Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.4. Prior to any Change in Recommendation, the Company shall provide Parent with such information with respect to the solicitation of the Company Stockholder Approval as Parent may reasonably request.

No parties to this Agreement shall consent to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby at the behest of any Governmental Entity without the consent of the other parties to this Agreement, it being understood that withdrawal of a Filing and subsequent refiling thereof by a party shall require the consent of the other party.
          (b) Notwithstanding Section 6.9(a), or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent, commit to any divestiture transaction or, subject to the terms of Section 6.9(c), agree to any restriction on its business, and nothing in this Section 6.9 shall (i) limit any applicable rights a party may have to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 so long as such party has up to then complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.9, or (ii) require Parent to offer, accept or agree to (A) sell, divest, dispose of, or, subject to the terms of Section 6.9(c), hold separate any part of its or the Company’s businesses, operations, assets or product lines (or a combination of Parent’s and the Company’s respective businesses, operations, assets or product lines), (B) not compete in any geographic area or line of business, and/or (C) subject to the terms of Section 6.9(c), restrict the manner in which, or whether, Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates may carry on business in any part of the world.

          (c) In connection with and without limiting anything in this Agreement, as soon as practicable after the date hereof, Parent and the Company shall prepare, prefile and file with CFIUS a joint voluntary notice of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Exon-Florio.

56


 

reasonable best efforts to take all steps advisable, necessary or desirable to finally and successfully complete the Exon-Florio review process as promptly as practicable and to make any and all commercially reasonable undertakings necessary to obtain a written notification issued by CFIUS that it has concluded its review (or, if CFIUS deems a forty-five (45) day investigation necessary, its investigation) and determined that there are no unresolved national security concerns with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby so as to enable the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event, with the consummation of the Merger to occur no later than the Termination Date).

          (b) Without the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not (i) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Intel Purchase Agreement in a manner that materially and adversely affects Parent’s rights and obligations; it being understood and agreed that any amendment, modification or waiver which (A) decreases the price paid by the Intel Buyer for the Intel Business, (B) materially increases the conditionality of the closing of the Intel Transaction (including with respect to the related acquisition financing, if any), (C) increases the potential liability of such transaction to Parent or the Post-Sale Company (including through a modification to Section 9.2 or 9.3 of the Intel Purchase Agreement) or (D) amends, modifies or waives Section 6.10, Annex A, 6.12, 6.16 or 6.17 of the Intel Purchase Agreement or materially amends or modifies Section 2.3 of the Intel Purchase Agreement, in each case, shall be deemed, without exclusion of other amendments, modifications or waivers, to materially and adversely affect Parent’s rights and obligations, or (ii) terminate the Intel Purchase Agreement by the mutual written agreement of the Company and Intel Buyer.

Upon written request of Parent delivered within the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the date hereof or (ii) ten (10) days after obtaining the necessary information, to the extent such information reasonably is available and in accordance with Section 6.3, that is reasonably required for Parent to determine whether it is advantageous to it from a U.S. federal income tax perspective to convert any of the Conversion-Eligible Subsidiaries into a limited liability company, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Conversion-Eligible Subsidiaries specified in such request to limited liability companies, provided, that Parent shall be liable for the payment of any and all costs or expenses related to the conversion of the Conversion-Eligible Subsidiaries into limited liability companies, and shall remit such payment to the Company prior to any such conversion. In no event shall the Company be required to effect any such conversion prior to one day before the Effective Time. In the event that a conversion is effected, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, refrain from making any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 to treat the resulting domestic limited liability company as an association taxable as a corporation.

The information that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide to the Basis Study Firm shall be governed by Section 6.3, and solely for purposes of the application of Section 6.3 to the provision of information to the Basis Study Firm, the Basis Study Firm shall be deemed to be a “Representative” of Parent. The Basis Study Firm shall be directed to provide its final report, and any interim drafts of such report, to each of the Company and Parent. Parent shall pay the costs, fees and expenses of the Basis Study Firm under the terms of the engagement contemplated by this Section 6.20. The engagement letter with the Basis Study Firm shall not impose any completion date on the Company that is related to the Basis Study Firm’s work thereunder, and in no event shall the Closing be impeded or delayed as a result of the timing of the completion of the Basis Study Firm’s work thereunder.

          (e) The Company shall have received at least $295,833,000 in purchase price by reason of the occurrence of the Intel Closing;
          (f) Completion of novation, assignment, termination, or expiration (and receipt of written notice from the Company thereof) of all 6.9(a)(1) Contracts and all contracts listed in Section 6.9(a)(2) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; and
          (g) Since the date of this Agreement, no Contracts, assets (other than cash and cash equivalents as expressly permitted in the Intel Agreement) or liabilities primarily relating to the Intel Business or the Intel Companies shall have been assigned or novated (or otherwise transferred) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Intel Companies).
     Section 7.3 Additional Conditions to Obligations of the Company to Effect the Merger. The obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger are further subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Company, if permissible under applicable Law) of the following conditions at or prior to the Closing:
          (a) (i) Each representation or warranty of Parent and Merger Sub contained in Sections 5.2, 5.4, 5.7 and 5.11 shall be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Closing with the same force and effect as if made at and as of the Closing (other than those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date or only with respect to a specific period of time, which need only be true and correct as of such date or with respect to such period) and (ii) the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub contained in any other section of this Agreement shall be true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as to materiality or Parent Material Adverse Effect set forth therein) as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Closing with the

62


 

same force and effect as if made at and as of the Closing (other than those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date or only with respect to a specific period of time, which need only be true and correct as of such date or with respect to such period), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct would not have a Parent Material Adverse Effect; and
          (b) Parent and Merger Sub shall have performed in all material respects all of their material obligations under this Agreement to be performed by each of them at or prior to the Closing.
     Section 7.4 Frustration of Conditions. None of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to act in good faith or use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as required by and subject to Section 6.9.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
     Section 8.1 Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and the Merger contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned as follows:
          (a) at any time, by the mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent;
          (b) by either the Company or Parent:
          (i) if the Merger has not been consummated on or prior to the nine (9) month anniversary of the date hereof (the “Termination Date”) by delivering written notice to the other party no earlier than five (5) Business Days following such nine (9) month anniversary; provided, however, that if, as of the Termination Date, (A) any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 7.1(b) (to the extent related to regulatory approvals), Section 7.1(c), Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.2(f) have not been satisfied or waived, but all other conditions to the Merger have been satisfied or waived (other than (1) those conditions which by their nature can only be satisfied at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, which conditions would be satisfied if the Closing Date were the Termination Date, or (2) the condition in Section 7.2(e) to the extent that the failure of such condition to be satisfied is the result of the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 of the Intel Purchase Agreement) or (B) the Company has delivered to Parent a Substitution Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, then either the Company or Parent, in such party’s sole discretion, may extend the Termination Date for up to three (3) additional months by delivering written notice to the other party at any time prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date which is nine (9) months after the date hereof; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose failure to

63


 

fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to be consummated on or prior to such date;
          (ii) if any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Company, Parent or Merger Sub shall have issued a Restraint permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and such Restraint shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, such order, decree, ruling or action, and provided, further, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall have used reasonable best efforts to cause any such order, decree, ruling or action to be vacated or lifted or to ameliorate the effects thereof to the extent required to do so by the terms of this Agreement;
          (iii) if the Intel Purchase Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall not be available to Parent until the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date that the Intel Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, further, that, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall not be available to Parent in the event that the Company delivers a Substitution Exercise Notice to Parent prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date that the Intel Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms;
          (iv) if the Intel Purchase Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms and the Company has entered into a Substitute Intel Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iv) must be exercised by Parent by written notice to the Company within three (3) Business Days of Parent’s receipt of notice that the Substitute Intel Agreement has been executed; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iv) shall not be available to Parent if the Substitute Intel Buyer and Substitute Intel Agreement would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Parent’s rights or obligations (as compared with the Intel Buyer and Intel Purchase Agreement), taking into account all relevant factors, including the terms and conditions of the Substitute Intel Agreement and the financial position of the Substitute Intel Buyer (the “Substitute Determination”); provided that the Company and Parent agree that it would not be unreasonable for Parent to exercise its termination right pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(iv) if (A) the purchase price in such Substitute Intel Agreement is less than the Purchase Price (as defined in the Intel Purchase Agreement), (B) there was materially increased conditionality imposed on the Transactions (including by reason of the identity and nature of the Substitute Intel Buyer and/or its financing arrangements), including the Intel Transaction, (C) there is an increase in the potential liability to Parent or the Post-Sale Company pursuant to the Substitute Intel Agreement from the Intel Purchase Agreement (including through failure to replicate Section 9.2 or 9.3 of the Intel Purchase Agreement) or (D) there are one or more failures to replicate

64


 

Section 2.3, 6.10, 6.12, 6.16 or 6.17 of the Intel Purchase Agreement which failure is materially adverse to Parent or the Post-Sale Company;
          (v) if the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Company Special Meeting duly convened therefor or at any adjournment or postponement thereof; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(v) shall not be available to the Company if it has failed to comply in all material respects with its obligations under Sections 6.4 and 6.8; or
          (c) by the Company if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) and (B) has not been waived by the Company and is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, within forty-five (45) days following receipt of a written notice of such breach from the Company; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to the Company if it has materially breached any of its material obligations under this Agreement; or
          (d) by Parent:
          (i) if the Company shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b), and (B) has not been waived by Parent and is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by the Company within forty-five (45) days following receipt of a written notice of such breach from Parent; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d)(i) shall not be available to Parent if it or Merger Sub has materially breached any of their material obligations under this Agreement; or
          (ii) if (A) a Change in Recommendation shall have occurred, (B) the Company shall have breached its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a failure to call the Company Special Meeting or a failure to prepare and mail to its stockholders the Proxy Statement in all material respects in accordance with Section 6.8, (C) the Company shall have failed to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or (D) the Company shall have violated or breached in any material respect any of its material obligations under Section 6.4.
     Section 8.2 Effect of Termination.
          (a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or such party’s Affiliates or its or their directors, officers, employees, Representatives or stockholders) to the other parties hereto other than, with respect to Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, the obligations pursuant to this Section 8.2 and Article IX, provided, however, that no party shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages (i) arising out of any breach of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) fraud by either party or any breach by Parent or Merger Sub of the representations and warranties in Section 5.6 (Sufficient Funds). Neither the preceding sentence

65


 

nor any other provision of this Agreement shall limit the right of any party to seek damages based on what such party believes to be an appropriate theory of damages, including on whose behalf such damages may be sought.
          (b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) prior to the Company Special Meeting or (ii) (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) or by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) (only if at such time Parent would not be prohibited from terminating this Agreement by application of the proviso of Section 8.1(b)(i)) or Section 8.1(b)(v), (B) after the date hereof (but prior to the Company Special Meeting in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(v)), an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced and (C) within nine (9) months after such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates an Acquisition Proposal, then, in such event, the Company shall pay to Parent a termination fee of $25,000,000 in cash (the “Company Termination Fee”) minus any amounts paid by the Company to Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(d), (x) concurrently with any termination of this Agreement (in the case of a payment required by clause (i) above) or (y) on the date of consummation of the transaction referred to in clause (ii)(C) (in the case of a payment required by clause (ii) above). For purposes of clause (ii)(C) of the immediately preceding sentence, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.1, except that the references to “twenty percent (20%)” therein shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%)”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the fee referred to in this Section 8.2(b) (X) on more than one (1) occasion or (Y) if, at the time this Agreement is terminated, this Agreement could have been terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii) or Section 8.1(c). The parties agree that the payment of the Company Termination Fee (minus any amounts paid by the Company to Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(d)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent and Merger Sub with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event any such payment becomes due and payable, and, upon payment of the Company Termination Fee (minus any amounts paid by the Company to Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(d)), the Company (and the Company’s Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders and Representatives) shall have no further liability to Parent and Merger Sub hereunder.
          (c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) or Section 8.1(b)(ii) (to the extent related to regulatory approvals) and, at the time of such termination, any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 7.1(b) (to the extent related to regulatory approvals), Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.1(d) have not been satisfied or waived, and all other conditions to the Merger (including the condition set forth in Section 7.2(f)) (other than those conditions which by their nature can only be satisfied at or immediately prior to the Closing, which conditions would be satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of termination) have been satisfied or waived, then, in such event, Parent shall pay to the Company the Parent Termination Fee, concurrently with any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be required to pay the fee referred to in this Section 8.2(c) (X) on more than one (1) occasion or (Y) if, at the time this Agreement is terminated, this Agreement could have been terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i). The parties agree that the payment of the Parent Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Company with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event any such payment becomes due and payable, and, upon

66


 

payment of the Parent Termination Fee, Parent and Merger Sub (and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders and Representatives) shall have no further liability to the Company hereunder.
          (d) If this Agreement is terminated by (x) the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) and at the time of such termination, the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 7.1(b) (to the extent related to regulatory approvals), Section 7.1(c) and Section 7.1(d) have been satisfied or (y) Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iv) or (z) Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii), and in each case, no Company Termination Fee is payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.2(b) at the time of such termination, then the Company shall pay to Parent, within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of Parent’s demand therefor, an amount equal to the Parent Expenses (as defined below). The parties agree that, subject to the Company’s obligation to pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee (minus the amount of Parent Expenses previously actually paid to Parent pursuant to the preceding sentence) if the Company Termination Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b), the payment of the Parent Expenses shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent and Merger Sub with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event any such payment becomes due and payable, and, upon payment of the Parent Expenses, the Company (and the Company’s Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders and Representatives) shall have no further liability to Parent and Merger Sub hereunder. “Parent Expenses” shall mean all documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, financial advisors and investment bankers) up to an aggregate amount of $12,500,000 incurred by or on behalf of Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the filing of any required notices under (i) applicable U.S. or foreign antitrust or competition Laws or other regulations or (ii) Exon-Florio or NISPOM.
          (e) The payments contemplated by Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(c) and Section 8.2(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent and the Company, respectively, and shall be reduced by any amounts required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Law in respect of Taxes.
     Section 8.3 Certain Substitution Rights. If, at any time prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after termination of the Intel Purchase Agreement, the Company notifies Parent in writing that the Company is exercising its rights under this Section 8.3 (a “Substitution Exercise Notice”):
          (a) The Company may initiate, solicit and encourage the making of a proposal or offer from, engage in negotiations or discussions with, and furnish any material nonpublic information to, any Person with respect to the potential acquisition by such Person, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of the Intel Business (a “Substitute Intel Transaction”).
          (b) If requested by the Company, Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any discussions and negotiations in respect of any potential Substitute Intel Transaction.

67


 

          (c) The Company shall promptly advise Parent orally or in writing of any negotiations or discussions with any Person (a “Substitute Intel Buyer”) with respect to a potential Substitute Intel Transaction, the material terms and conditions of any such Substitute Intel Transaction and the identity of the Substitute Intel Buyer. The Company shall (i) keep Parent reasonably informed of the status and material details (including any material change to the terms thereof) of any such negotiations or discussions and (ii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all material written correspondence relating to any such Substitute Intel Transaction exchanged between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Substitute Intel Buyer, on the other hand.
          (d) In the event that, following delivery of the Substitution Exercise Notice, the Company determines to enter into an agreement or agreements (a “Substitute Intel Agreement”) with a Substitute Intel Buyer providing for a Substitute Intel Transaction (the “Failed Intel Buyer Substitution Right”), the Company shall, no later than four (4) Business Days prior to entry into such Substitute Intel Agreement, deliver written notice (the “Failed Buyer Substitution Notice”) to Parent of the Company’s intention to exercise the Failed Intel Buyer Substitution Right, which notice shall include (i) a substantially final draft of the Substitute Intel Agreement and (ii) a statement by the Company as to the Substitute Determination; it being agreed that Parent shall be deemed to accept the Substitute Determination unless Parent provides written notice of disagreement to the Company within three (3) Business Days of Parent’s receipt of the Failed Buyer Substitution Notice. The Company shall notify Parent in writing within two (2) Business Days following execution of the Substitute Intel Agreement.
          (e) For all purposes of this Agreement, upon execution and delivery of the Substitute Intel Agreement, all references herein to the “Intel Transaction,” “Intel Purchase Agreement,” and “Intel Buyer” shall become references to the Substitute Intel Transaction, Substitute Intel Agreement and Substitute Intel Buyer, respectively.

     Section 9.2 Nonsurvival of Representations and Warranties.

     Section 9.4 Interpretation. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. Disclosure of any fact, circumstance or information in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosure of such fact, circumstance or information with respect to any other Sections of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, respectively, if it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure relates to one or more or all of such Sections. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of materiality of such item, nor shall it establish any standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.
     Section 9.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall together be considered one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
     Section 9.6 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the exhibits hereto, together with the other instruments referred to herein), the Confidentiality Agreement and, when referenced herein, the Intel Purchase Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that it is specifically intended that (A) the D&O Indemnified Parties and Company Indemnified Parties (with respect to Section 6.7 from and after the Effective Time) and (B) the Company’s stockholders and holders of Company Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Company Deferred Stock Units and Company Warrants (with respect to their rights under Article III of this Agreement from and after the Effective Time) are third-party beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first sentence of paragraph 3 of the Co-Buyer Disclosure Agreement (which amends the Confidentiality Agreement) shall be superseded by this Agreement.
     Section 9.7 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void,

70


 

unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated and the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
     Section 9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
     Section 9.9 Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby (a) expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the Transactions, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware and (d) agrees that each of the other parties shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding for enforcement of a judgment entered by the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
     Section 9.10 Service of Process. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 9.9 in any such action or proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to Section 9.3. However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of a party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available method.
     Section 9.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, MERGER SUB OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
     Section 9.12 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the parties agree that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would occur for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are

71


 

otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties agree that, if for any reason Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then the party seeking to enforce this Agreement against such nonperforming party under this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and the issuance of immediate injunctive and other equitable relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, and the parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the parties. Each of the parties hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement shall not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief and agrees that in the event of any action by the other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at Law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds. Any such remedies, and any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement, shall be cumulative in nature and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever which any party may otherwise have.
     Section 9.13 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that Parent and Merger Sub may assign their rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent so long as Parent continues to remain primarily liable for all of such rights and obligations. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
     Section 9.14 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, provided that Parent shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the filings of the notification and report forms under the HSR Act in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the notice to CFIUS of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Exon-Florio. Other than Taxes imposed upon a holder of Shares, Company Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Company Deferred Stock Units or Company Warrants, Parent shall pay all Taxes incident to preparing for, entering into and carrying out this Agreement (including (i) transfer, stamp and documentary Taxes or fees and (ii) sales, use, gains, real property transfer and other or similar Taxes or fees). For the avoidance of doubt, none of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall be responsible for the payment of income Taxes imposed upon a holder of Shares which result from the transactions contemplated herein.

72


 

     Section 9.15 Waivers. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived at any time prior to the Effective Time by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party expressly granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

     The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by and in accordance with Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as that Section may be amended and supplemented from time to time, indemnify any director, officer or trustee which it shall have power to indemnify under that Section against any expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by that Section; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to any person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such person. The Corporation may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by and in accordance with Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as that Section may be amended and supplemented from time to time, any other employee or agent of the Corporation (i.e., an employee or agent who is not a director, officer or trustee of the Corporation) which it shall have power to indemnify under that Section against any expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by that Section. The indemnification provided for in this Article (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office or position, (ii) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, trustee, or other employee or agent and (iii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The Corporation’s obligation to provide indemnification under this Article shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Corporation or any other person.
     To assure indemnification under this Article of all such persons who are determined by the Corporation or otherwise to be or to have been “fiduciaries” of any employee benefit plan of the Corporation which may exist from time to time, such Section 145 shall, for the purposes of this Article, be interpreted as follows: an “other enterprise” shall be deemed to include such an employee benefit plan, including, without limitation, any plan of the Corporation which is governed by the Act of Congress entitled

“Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,” as amended from time to time; the Corporation shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the Corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to such Act of Congress shall be deemed “fines”; and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such person’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
ARTICLE XIV
Amendments

Bylaws adopted by the Board of Directors may be repealed or changed, and new Bylaws made, by the stockholders, and the stockholders may prescribe that any Bylaw made by them shall not be altered, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.
