          (b) Each of the Company and Purchaser shall give reasonably prompt notice to the other of (i) the occurrence or failure to occur of any event which occurrence or failure causes or is reasonably likely to cause any of the representations or warranties of the Company set forth in Article IV to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or, individually or in the aggregate, results in or is reasonably likely to result in, a Business Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) any material failure of any party to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any material covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such party hereunder prior to the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent the Company or Purchaser becomes aware of any such matter; provided, however, any breach of this Section 6.2(b) (unless willful and material) shall not be considered for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII or give rise to a right of termination under Article VIII. No notice delivered pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) shall be deemed by itself to (x) modify any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein or in the Company Disclosure Schedule, (y) cure or prevent any such inaccuracy or failure, or (z) limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to Purchaser or the Company, as applicable.
     Section 6.3 Access to Information.

42


 

(the foregoing, with respect to any Person, its “Representatives”), reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice from Purchaser to their respective properties, books and records and other information as Purchaser may reasonably request regarding the business, assets, liabilities, employees and other aspects of the Intel Companies. 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. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation or examination pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide access to, or cause the Intel Companies 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 (other than Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law) receiving material information which is competitively sensitive or (iv) breach any agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any third-party.
          (b) For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, the Company and Purchaser shall (i) provide the other and its professional advisors with reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to all the books and records relating to the operation of the Transferred Companies or Intel Business to the extent in the possession of or under the control of the Company or Purchaser, as the case may be, before the Closing Date if reasonably required in connection with any litigation, any Tax audit, the preparation of any Tax Returns or the preparation of any financial statements that include the financial results of all or part of the Transferred Companies or Intel Business for any period prior to the Closing and (ii) cooperate with and assist the other and its professional advisors in connection with the preparation of any audited financial statements that include the financial results of all or part of the Transferred Companies or Intel Business for any period prior to the Closing.
     Section 6.4 Employees; Employee Benefits.
               (a) Following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall provide Purchaser reasonable access to, and facilitate meetings with, the employees of the Transferred Companies for the purposes of making announcements concerning, and preparing for the consummation of, the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement.
          (b) Continuation of Employee Benefits.
          (i) For not less than twelve (12) months following the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Companies) shall pay to employees of the Transferred Companies base salary or wages that are, on an individual by individual basis, no less favorable than those provided as of immediately prior to the Closing, to the extent he/she continues his or her employment with Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Companies). Except in the case of any “Intel Incentive Plan” as defined in Section 6.4(b)(iv), Purchaser covenants and agrees that, for

43


 

not less than 12 months following the Closing, it will provide each current employee of the Transferred Companies, to the extent he/she continues his or her employment with any of the Transferred Companies or any Affiliate thereof from and after the Closing Date, with employee benefits, whether provided under the Employee Plans or Benefit Arrangements or otherwise, which in the aggregate are substantially comparable to those received by such employee immediately prior to the Closing, provided that nothing herein will (A) prevent the amendment or termination at any time of any specific plan or arrangement of Purchaser, (B) require that Purchaser provide or permit investment in the securities of Purchaser or any of the Transferred Companies (or securities exchangeable or exercisable or convertible therein) or (C) interfere with Purchaser’s right or obligation to make such changes as are necessary to comply with applicable Law. The plans and arrangements of Purchaser shall recognize the service of each current employee of any of the Transferred Companies that is recognized under Employee Plans or Benefit Arrangements for purposes of participation and vesting under the plans and arrangements of Purchaser. The Company shall provide such cooperation and assistance, including cooperation and assistance following the execution of this Agreement, as is necessary for Purchaser to provide the employee benefits described above.
          (ii) Notwithstanding the generality of Section 6.4(b)(i), for not less than twelve (12) months following the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Companies) shall provide to employees of the Transferred Companies (other than those employees whose severance pay and benefits shall be governed by the Intel Companies Special Employee Plan) severance pay and benefits that are no less favorable than the greater of (A) those provided by the Transferred Companies as of the date hereof and (B) those provided by Purchaser and its Affiliates to their similarly situated employees.
          (iii) In the case of any Intel Incentive Plan, the Purchaser covenants and agrees that, effective for the period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, it will establish, or will cause the Transferred Companies to establish, an Incentive Payment Program that will provide employees of the Transferred Companies who continue their employment with the Transferred Companies after December 31, 2010, with cash payments that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the payments that would have been earned and owing under the Intel Incentive Plans; provided, however, that (A) comparability of such payments shall exclude any consideration of any commission program or stock or equity investment plans maintained by or for the Transferred Companies or the Company prior to Closing; (B) nothing herein shall require Purchaser or the Transferred Companies to establish or maintain any commission program or any plan providing for the investment in stock or equities of the Purchaser or the Transferred Companies, or any Affiliate thereof; and (C) such Incentive Payment Program shall be established with reference to the targeted financial performance of the Transferred Companies set forth in Section 6.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule following consultation with senior management employees of the Transferred Companies.
          (iv) For the purposes of this Section 6.4(b), the term “Intel Incentive Plan” means any Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement that provides for (A) bonus payments; (B) payments based on commissions; (C) payments based on the performance

44


 

of the employee, the employee’s employer, or any or all of the Transferred Companies; (D) investments by or grants to employees of any stock or equities of the Transferred Companies or their Affiliates; or (E) any similar payments, investments or incentives.
          (v) To the extent not paid by the Company or the Transferred Companies prior to Closing in accordance with such plan, Purchaser shall cause the Transferred Companies to pay management incentive bonuses in respect of the 2010 year (the “2010 Bonuses”) at the time in February 2011 such bonuses would ordinarily be paid to the employees of the Transferred Companies, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Management Incentive Bonus Plan for the 2010 year, as in effect on the date hereof (and the Company shall have a reasonable opportunity to review such payments prior to the payment date). Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be limited to the amount accrued in respect of the 2010 Bonuses as of December 31, 2010. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and following the Closing through December 31, 2010, Purchaser shall, make accruals with respect to the 2010 Bonuses in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice.
          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall (i) create any right in any employee to continued employment by Purchaser, the Company, the Transferred Companies or any respective Subsidiary thereof, or preclude the ability of Purchaser, the Company, the Transferred Companies or any respective Subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason or (ii) require Purchaser, the Company, the Transferred Companies or any respective Subsidiary thereof to continue any Employee Plan or prevent the amendment, modification, or termination thereof in accordance with plan terms after the Closing Date.
          (d) This Section 6.4 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.4, 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 6.4 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 Purchaser, the Company, the Transferred Companies or any respective Subsidiary thereof.
          (e) The Company shall provide such cooperation and assistance, including cooperation and assistance following the execution of this Agreement, as reasonably requested by Purchaser for purposes of providing the employee benefits described in this Section 6.4.
          (f) At least thirty (30) days before the Closing Date, the Company shall provide its workpapers and analysis regarding whether any Contract, agreement, plan or arrangement covering or with respect to any employee, director or stockholder of any Transferred Company could, individually or collectively, give rise to the payment of any amount that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code.
          (g) During the period from the date hereof through the Closing, the Company shall pay and discharge, or shall cause the Transferred Companies to pay and discharge (on a basis consistent with past practice), all contributions and payments under each Employee Plan and Benefit Arrangement, in all events, not later than the date each such contribution and

45


 

payment is required to be paid by the terms of the applicable Employee Plan, Benefit Arrangement or Law.
     Section 6.5 Publicity. Neither the Company nor Purchaser (nor any of their respective Affiliates) shall issue any press release or make any other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior agreement of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (and none of Purchaser or its Affiliates shall issue or make any other press release or other public announcement with respect to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby without the prior agreement of the Company), except as otherwise 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 shall use its reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other party before making any such public announcements.
     Section 6.6 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.
          (a) Purchaser agrees that all rights to exculpation and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing (including any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers, managers or employees (“D&O Indemnified Parties”), as the case may be, of the Intel Companies as provided in their respective organizational documents or in any Contract shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect. Purchaser shall (and Purchaser shall cause the Intel Companies to) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to the D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Closing (including any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), to the fullest extent that the Company and the Intel Companies would be permitted by applicable Law and to the fullest extent required by the organizational documents of the Company or the Intel Companies as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Purchaser shall cause the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Intel Companies not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the D&O Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.6.
          (b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.6(a), during the period ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing, to the fullest extent that the Intel Companies would be permitted by applicable Law to do so, Purchaser shall (and shall cause the Intel Companies to): (i) indemnify and hold harmless each D&O Indemnified Party against and from any Losses in connection with any Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such Proceeding 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, manager or employee of the Intel Companies prior to the Closing; or (B) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such Proceeding the 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 neither Purchaser nor the Intel Companies shall be liable for any

46


 

settlement effected without either Purchaser’s or the Intel Companies’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.6(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor the Intel Companies shall (and Purchaser shall cause the Intel Companies not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any such Proceeding against a D&O Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of such D&O Indemnified Party from all Liability arising out of such Proceeding.
          (c) On or prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) the Merger Date and (ii) the expiration of coverage under the Company’s applicable directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policies (after giving effect to the renewal of such policies as contemplated by Section 6.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule), the Company shall provide or cause a Subsidiary of the Company (other than the Intel Companies) to provide, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Closing, the D&O Indemnified Parties who are insured under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policies with insurance and indemnification policies, or “tail policies,” in each case, that provide coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Closing (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 the Company shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance 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 exceed such amount, the Company shall be obligated to obtain policies with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. Any indemnification and other payments by Purchaser under this Section 6.6 to or for any D&O Indemnified Party for Losses shall be paid net of (i) any insurance proceeds actually recovered by such D&O Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses so indemnified and (ii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the D&O Indemnified Party from any third-party with respect to such Losses, minus the amount of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred and necessary to recover such third-party payment. In the event that an applicable insurance or other recovery is received by any D&O Indemnified Party with respect to any indemnification payment for which he or she has been indemnified under this Section 6.6, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of such applicable recovery with respect to such indemnification payment shall be made promptly to Purchaser by such D&O Indemnified Party.
          (d) The D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.6 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.6. The provisions of this Section 6.6 are intended to be for the benefit of each D&O Indemnified Party and his or her successors, heirs or representatives. Purchaser shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party in enforcing its indemnity and other rights under this Section 6.6.
          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing indefinitely and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Purchaser, and shall be enforceable by the D&O Indemnified Parties and their successors, heirs or representatives. In the event that Purchaser or the Intel Companies or any of their successors

47


 

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, Purchaser shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser or the Intel Companies shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.
     Section 6.7 Appropriate Actions.
          (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall (and shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to) use its respective commercially reasonable efforts promptly to (i) take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the most expeditious manner practicable; (ii) obtain from any Governmental Entities any actions, non-actions, clearances, waivers, consents, approvals, permits or orders required to be obtained by the Company or Purchaser or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) make all registrations, filings, notifications or submissions (“Filings”) (in each case, promptly after the date of this Agreement) which are necessary or advisable, and thereafter promptly make any other required submissions and responses, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, required under (A) the HSR Act and any other applicable antitrust laws (except as otherwise agreed by the parties, such Filings shall be made no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement) and (B) any other applicable Law; (iv) furnish all information reasonably required for any Filings to be made pursuant to any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (v) act in good faith and reasonably cooperate with the other party in connection with any Filings (including, to provide copies of all such Filings to outside counsel for the non-filing party and, if requested by the other party, to accept all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by the other party); (vi) keep the other party informed in all material respects of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Entity and of any material communication received or given in connection with any Proceeding by a private party, in each case, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (vii) provide the other party with prior notice of any communication with, and any proposed understanding, undertaking or agreement with, any Governmental Entity regarding any such Filings; (viii) consult and cooperate with each other party in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party in connection with proceedings relating to or arising out of such Filings; (ix) obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers under Contracts with third parties (provided that neither the Company nor Purchaser shall be required to make any payments to any such third parties or concede anything of value to obtain such consents, approvals or waivers); (x) avoid the entry of, or have vacated or terminated, any Judgment that would restrain, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (xi) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

          (c) The Company and Purchaser agree that promptly after the execution of this Agreement, they will submit a joint filing and any requested supplemental information (collectively, the “Joint Filing”) to CFIUS pursuant to 31 C.F.R. Part 800 with regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Purchaser each agree promptly to provide to the other all requisite information in order for the parties to complete preparation and submission of the Joint Filing in accordance with this Section 6.7(c). Each of Purchaser and the Company will keep the other party generally apprised of developments with CFIUS and any interested U.S. Government agency with regard to the Joint Filing. Requests for supplemental information from any interested U.S. Government agency pertaining to the Company or any of the Transferred Companies in connection with the Joint Filing shall be coordinated in advance between Purchaser and the Company, provided that the Company shall promptly cooperate with Purchaser to ensure a timely response to such request in compliance with applicable regulations and, in any event, Company shall furnish to Purchaser within one (1) Business Day from receipt of the request all requested information pertaining to, accessible to, or within the control of, the Company.

Purchaser shall have a period of 30 days beginning at such

49

The Company shall return such forms to Purchaser at least seventy-five (75) days prior to the applicable due date.
          (ii) The parties shall treat the purchase of the McClendon Interests contemplated hereunder as a purchase by Purchaser of all of the assets and liabilities of McClendon for federal, state and local income Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Company and Purchaser shall file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment, and shall take no position inconsistent with that characterization for federal, state or local income Tax purposes, including in any audit or judicial or administrative Proceeding.

               (2) To the extent the Company reasonably determines necessary, the Company shall have the right, at its own cost, to amend the federal and state income Tax Returns filed by the Company Affiliated Group or any Company State Group for any year in which SpecTal has been a member of the Company Affiliated Group or any Company State Group to reflect SpecTal as a corporation and as a member of the affiliated group for income Tax purposes, and shall have the right, at its own cost, to file any separate entity Tax Returns for such years for SpecTal that should have been filed (such Tax Returns described in this clause (2), whether or not the Company amends such Tax Returns, “SpecTal Tax Returns”). To the extent the Company chooses to exercise its right under this Section 6.9(b)(i)(2) to amend or file any SpecTal Tax Returns, such SpecTal Tax Returns will be filed in accordance with applicable Law.
With respect to Tax Returns in this Section 6.9(b)(i), the Company shall deliver to Purchaser copies of the portions of such Tax Returns applicable solely to the Transferred Companies or, to the extent this is not reasonably practicable, a pro forma Tax Return relating solely to the Transferred Companies, in either case no later than forty (40) calendar days before filing of such Tax Returns. Purchaser shall provide its comments in writing (together with all supporting documents) at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Returns, and the Company shall incorporate any reasonable comments provided by Purchaser. In the event of a dispute with respect to such Tax Returns the parties shall resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 6.9(b)(iii). The Company shall be liable for and shall timely pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Governmental Entities all Taxes shown to be due on any Tax Returns required to be filed or caused to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.9(b)(i). The Company shall within ten (10) Business Days after filing any such Tax Return provide copies to Purchaser of the relevant portion of any such Tax Return (to the extent applicable), in each case with proof of full payment of all liabilities shown thereon and evidence of timely filing thereof.

Purchaser shall be liable for and shall timely pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Governmental Entity all Taxes shown to be due on any such Tax Returns. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be responsible for the preparation of any Tax Returns of or regarding Patriot.
          (iii) In the event of a dispute with respect to any Tax Return, Purchaser and the Company shall negotiate in good faith, for a period of no more than ten (10) days (or such shorter period as is practicable under the circumstances in order to permit timely filing of the applicable Tax Return), to resolve such dispute. In the event that Purchaser and the Company are unable to fully resolve such dispute within such period, they shall refer their remaining differences to the Independent Accounting Firm, and shall request that the Independent Accounting Firm resolve any such differences at least two (2) days prior to the due date for the filing (including extensions) of the applicable Tax Return, in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. If the Independent Accounting Firm does not reach a determination with respect to such dispute at least two (2) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner that the party responsible for preparing such Tax Return deems correct, and the party not responsible for filing such Tax Return shall pay to the filing party its portion of the Taxes that are due on such Tax Return in accordance with Section 6.9(c). Following the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination, if needed, such party shall file an amended Tax Return, and the parties shall follow the Independent Accounting Firm’s resolution in determining each party’s liability in accordance with Section 6.9(c).

Each such party shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
     Section 8.1 Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned as follows:
          (a) at any time, by the mutual written agreement of the Company and Purchaser;

65


 

immediately prior to the Closing, which conditions would be satisfied if the Closing Date were the Intel Termination Date), then either the Company or Purchaser may extend the Intel Termination Date for up to two (2) additional months by delivering written notice to the other prior to the four (4) month anniversary of the date hereof or (ii) as of the Intel Termination Date any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 7.2(h) or Section 7.2(i) have not been satisfied or waived, but all other conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived (other than (A) 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 Intel Termination Date and (B) Section 7.1), then the Company may extend the Intel Termination Date for up to two (2) additional months by delivering written notice to Purchaser prior to the four (4) month anniversary of the date hereof; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to be consummated on or prior to such date;

     Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. 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

66


 

the other party hereto other than, with respect to Purchaser and the Company, the obligations pursuant to this Section 8.2 and Article X; provided, however, that no party shall be relieved or released from any Liabilities (which the parties acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs) arising out of any breach of its obligations under this Agreement or fraud.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

This Section 9.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that by its terms is to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing.
     Section 9.2 Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the terms of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, the Company shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Intel Companies) and each of its and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of Losses arising out of or resulting from:
          (a) subject to Section 9.2(b), the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement occurring after the Closing or the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in Section 6.9(b) (solely with respect to the filing of Tax Returns and the payment of the Taxes specified for payment therein), 6.12(b), 6.17, or 6.20 occurring prior to or at the Closing;
          (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in Section 6.18 (provided, that notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no claims may be made under this Section 9.2(b) at any time after the Merger Date); or

Subject to the terms of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates (other than the Intel Companies) and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties” and together with the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties,” and the party obligated to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless any such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, the “Indemnifying Party”) from, against and in respect of Losses arising out of or resulting from the breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement occurring after the Closing or the breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser set forth in Section 6.9(b) (solely with respect to the filing of Tax Returns and the payment of the Taxes specified for payment therein) or Section 6.20.

67


 

     Section 9.4 Claims.
          (a) With respect to any claims for Losses made by third parties against an Indemnified Party (“Third-Party Claim”) which the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article IX, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
          (i) The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that (A) failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure; and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, after it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, to undertake the defense thereof by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense;
          (ii) Within thirty (30) Business Days following the receipt of notice of a Third-Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim or has declined to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim in writing, the Indemnified Party shall (upon further written notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof; and
          (iii) Notwithstanding any provision in this Article IX to the contrary, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Indemnifying Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto, except in the case of any settlement that (A) includes as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a written unconditional release from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (B) provides solely for monetary relief as to which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified in full (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5) and does not otherwise involve or purport to bind or limit the Indemnified Party. In addition, if the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any such admission, settlement, compromise, discharge or consent to Judgment made by an Indemnified Party without such prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

68


 

          (b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, as promptly as practicable after discovery of such claim, deliver written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure.
     Section 9.5 Certain Limitations and Other Indemnification Provisions.
          (a) Each of Purchaser and the Company acknowledges and agrees that, if the Closing occurs, their sole and exclusive monetary remedy (other than for fraud or knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement) following the Closing with respect to any and all claims (whether Third-Party Claims or otherwise) relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Article IX, Section 6.9 and Section 6.10; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent any party from pursuing non-monetary remedies as may be available to such party under applicable Law in the event of a party’s failure to comply with its obligations hereunder.
          (b) Any indemnification payments under this Agreement for indemnifiable Losses shall be paid net of (i) any insurance proceeds actually recovered by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates with respect to such Losses and (ii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates from any third-party with respect to such Losses, minus the amount of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred and necessary to recover such third-party payment. In the event that an applicable insurance or other recovery is received by any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates with respect to any indemnification payment for which any such Person has been indemnified under this Agreement, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of such applicable recovery with respect to such indemnification payment shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party.
     Section 9.6 Characterization of Indemnification Payments; Exclusivity of Tax Provisions(a) . Unless otherwise required by Law, any payment made pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all matters relating to indemnification in respect of Taxes shall be governed by Section 6.9 (except with respect to Sections 9.2(a) and 9.3). With respect to Tax matters, any conflict between the terms of Section 6.9 and any other provision of this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of Section 6.9, unless such other provision expressly provides that it shall be given priority over such provisions.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 10.3 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall together be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when all such counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. 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 10.5 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule and the exhibits hereto, together with the other instruments referred to herein) and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their permitted successor and assigns, and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and such successors and assigns, any legal or equitable rights, remedies or claims hereunder; provided, however, that it is specifically intended that the D&O Indemnified Parties (with respect to Section 6.6 from and after the Closing) and the Indemnified Parties (with respect to Article IX from and after the Closing) are third-party beneficiaries.
     Section 10.6 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, 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. Upon such a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that

71


 

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be carried out and construed as originally contemplated by the parties to the greatest extent possible.
     Section 10.7 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 10.8 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 contemplated by this Agreement, (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 Proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement 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 the other party shall have the right to bring any 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 Purchaser and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any 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 10.9 Service of Process. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 10.8 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 10.2. 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 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF PURCHASER 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 CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF PURCHASER OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
     Section 10.11 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 otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties agree that, if for any reason Purchaser 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

72


 

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 10.12 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by either party hereto (whether by operation of law or in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all the assets, stock or membership interests of such party) without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
     Section 10.13 Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of 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 Purchaser 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.
     Section 10.14 Waivers. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of either party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the party 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.
