Conexant Purchase Agreement

On June 11, 2017, the Company entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Conexant Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, Lakestar Semi, Inc. (“Lakestar”), CNXT Holdings, Inc. (“Seller” and, together with Lakestar, the “Seller Parties”) and Conexant Systems, LLC (“Conexant”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Conexant Purchase Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Conexant (the “Conexant Acquisition”), resulting in Conexant becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The purchase price for the Conexant Acquisition will consist of (i) $300 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments for working capital (and assuming a cash-free, debt-free transaction) and (ii) 726,666 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Consideration”). The Stock Consideration will be issued at closing in an exempt private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Concurrently with the closing of the Conexant Acquisition, we intend to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC providing for the registered resale of the Stock Consideration.

The Conexant Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties. In addition, the Company and the Seller Parties have agreed to indemnify each other for certain losses, and $16.8 million of the purchase price will be held in escrow to secure the Seller Parties’ indemnification obligations under the Conexant Purchase Agreement.

The Conexant Acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The Company’s obligation to consummate the Conexant Acquisition is not subject to any condition related to the availability of financing.

The Conexant Purchase Agreement contains customary termination rights for the Company and Seller. The Conexant Purchase Agreement is subject to termination if the transaction is not completed on or before December 8, 2017.

The foregoing description of the Conexant Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Conexant Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Conexant Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any financial or other factual information about Conexant or the Company. In particular, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Conexant Purchase Agreement (i) were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, (ii) were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Conexant Purchase Agreement, (iii) may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Conexant Purchase Agreement instead of establishing those matters as facts and (iv) may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Conexant Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company. Accordingly, investors should read the representations and warranties in the Conexant Purchase Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about the Company and its subsidiaries that the Company includes in reports, statements and other filings it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Marvell Purchase Agreement

On June 11, 2017, the Company entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Marvell Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and Marvell International Ltd. (“Marvell”).

In addition, the Company and Marvell have agreed to indemnify each other for certain losses. The Marvell Purchase Agreement contains customary termination rights for the Company and Marvell and is subject to termination if the transaction is not completed before September 30, 2017, which may be extended to December 31, 2017 in the event the sole reason the parties have not completed the transaction by such earlier date is due to (a) a governmental authority enacting any law that would prohibit or restrain the transaction or (b) any required filing with or any consent or declaration from any governmental authority not having been made or obtained.

2.6 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within sixty (60) calendar days thereof, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a written statement (the “Closing Statement”), setting forth in good faith, together with reasonable supporting documentation: (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries calculated as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), (ii) a calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital, (iii) a calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, (iv) a calculation of Closing Date Cash, (v) a calculation of Closing Date Indebtedness, (vi) a calculation of Company Expenses, (vii) on such basis, a calculation of Closing Cash Consideration, and (viii) on such basis, a calculation of the Adjustment Amount. The Closing Balance Sheet and each of the other items included in the Closing Statement (such other items, the “Closing Adjustment Items”) shall be based upon the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, maintained in a manner consistent with the policies and practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to Closing, and shall in any event be prepared in accordance with GAAP and the definitions of such terms in this Agreement. The Closing Date Net Working Capital shall further be prepared in accordance with Annex A (and without any changes in reserves, or the introduction of any new items or reserves, from the items and reserves included in the calculation of the Estimated Closing Statement, provided, that the Estimated Closing Statement may change reserves or introduce new items or reserves from the items and reserves included in Annex A to the extent such item or reserve arose prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date but after the date of this Agreement when Annex A was initially prepared). Following the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Seller and its representatives reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to the records, properties and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Adjustment Items, and shall cause the personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with Seller and its representatives in connection with their review of the Closing Statement, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Adjustment Items.

“Closing Cash Consideration” means (i) the amount of the Cash Consideration, plus (ii) the Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, plus (iii) Closing Date Cash, minus (iv) Closing Date Indebtedness, minus (v) Company Expenses, minus (vi) the Seller Vested SARs Employer Tax Amount.

The “Adjustment Amount” means an amount (which may be positive or negative) equal to the sum of (i) Closing Cash Consideration, minus (ii) Estimated Closing Cash Consideration.

(b) If Seller shall disagree with the Purchaser’s calculation or determination of any of the Closing Adjustment Items, it shall notify Purchaser of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement, within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of the Closing Statement. In the event that Seller does not provide such a notice of disagreement within such forty-five (45) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement and the calculation and determination of the Closing Adjustment Items delivered by Purchaser, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided, Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculation and determination of the Closing Adjustment Items included within Seller’s notice of disagreement. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then Deloitte USA LLP (or such other independent accounting or financial consulting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Purchaser and Seller) (the “Independent Accountant”) shall resolve any remaining disagreements with respect to the Closing Adjustment Items included within Seller’s notice of disagreement. Purchaser and Seller agree to jointly enter into a customary indemnity agreement with the Independent Accountant in connection with the retention of such Independent Accountant. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall promptly provide their assertions regarding any disputes relating to the Closing Adjustment Items included within Seller’s notice of disagreement and, to the extent relevant thereto, the Closing Statement in writing to the Independent Accountant and to each other. The Independent Accountant shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to such disagreements as soon as reasonably practicable (which the parties hereto agree should not be later than thirty (30) days following the day on which the disagreement is referred to the Independent Accountant). The Independent Accountant shall (i) base its determination solely on the written submissions of the parties and shall not conduct an independent investigation and (ii) consider only those items or amounts relating to the Closing Adjustment Items as to which Seller disagreed within its notice of disagreement, in accordance with this Section 2.6(b), and (iii) use the definitions of the defined terms used in this Section 2.6 provided in this Agreement. With respect to each disputed item, the Independent Accountant’s determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Purchaser or Seller, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts presented in Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment Items pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or in Seller’s written disagreement of any such calculation pursuant to this Section 2.6(b). The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties and no party shall seek further recourse to any Governmental Authority other than to enforce the determination of the Independent Accountant. The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 2.6 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement. The date on which Closing Date Net Working Capital is finally determined in accordance with

this Section 2.6(b) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.” The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, on an inversely proportional basis, based upon the relative difference between the amounts in dispute that have been submitted to the Independent Accountant and the Independent Accountant’s calculation thereof. Solely by way of example, if Purchaser claims in the Closing Statement that the Adjustment Amount is $1,000,000, Seller claims in the notice of disagreement that the Adjustment Amount is $1,500,000, and the Independent Accountant determines that the Adjustment Amount is $1,100,000, then Purchaser shall pay twenty percent (20%) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses and Seller shall pay eighty percent (80%) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses.

(c) Once the Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, if the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Closing Cash Consideration shall be increased by the Adjustment Amount, and if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Closing Cash Consideration shall be decreased by the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount, and the Adjustment Amount shall be paid as follows.

(i) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the Determination Date, then (A) Purchaser and Seller shall immediately deliver joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and (B) Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Amount.

(ii) If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number (the absolute value of such amount, the “Deficit Amount”), then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the Determination Date, (A) in the event the Deficit Amount is less than the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, Purchaser and Seller shall immediately deliver joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to (I) pay to Purchaser an amount of Adjustment Escrow Funds equal to the Deficit Amount, and (II) pay to Seller the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and (B) in the event the Deficit Amount is greater than the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, (I) Purchaser and Seller shall immediately deliver joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser all of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and (II) Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the difference between the Deficit Amount and the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Funds paid to Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing Section 2.6(c)(ii)(B)(I) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by Purchaser. For purposes of clarity, Seller’s payment obligation under Section 2.6(c)(ii)(B)(II) will not be subject to any of the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 11.5(a) and Section 11.5(b).

2.7 Unvested SARs. Prior to the date that is the thirteenth (13^th) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written statement (the “Unvested SARs Statement”), together with reasonable supporting detail, setting forth a good faith (a) calculation of the actual amounts paid by the Company in settlement of the Closing Date Unvested SARs and the New Unvested SARs, (b) a calculation of the employer portion of all payroll and employment Taxes (including social security, Medicare and unemployment) related thereto, (c)

the amount of any Unvested SARs that were forfeited due to the failure to satisfy restrictions and vesting arrangements under the SARs Plan (the “Forfeited Unvested SARs Amount”), (d) on such basis, a calculation of the Unvested SARs Settlement Amount, and (e) on such basis, a calculation of the Seller Unvested SARs Employer Tax Amount, if any. In the event that (x) the actual amounts paid by the Company in settlement of the Closing Date Unvested SARs (excluding the employer portion of all payroll and employment Taxes (including social security, Medicare and unemployment) related thereto) after taking into consideration the Forfeited Unvested SARs Amount, is greater than $10,000,000 or (y) the Company pays any amounts owing in respect of any New Unvested SARs (including the employer portion of all payroll and employment Taxes (including social security, Medicare and unemployment) related thereto), Seller shall promptly deliver the amount of such excess (in case of (x)) and the amounts owing in respect of any New Unvested SARs (in respect of (y)), together with the applicable portion of the employer portion of all payroll and employment Taxes (including social security, Medicare and unemployment) related thereto, to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by Purchaser.

2.8 Withholding. Purchaser and the Company (and any Affiliate thereof) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (including payments of Purchase Price and releases of amounts from the Escrow Fund) such amounts as Purchaser or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof), such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5.3, subject to the receipt of the consents, approvals, authorizations and other requirements set forth in Section 5.5 or on Schedule 5.5, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (a) violate any provision of, or result in the breach of, (i) any applicable Law to which Purchaser is subject, (ii) the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of Purchaser or any Subsidiary of Purchaser, or (iii) any material Contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser may be bound, or (b) terminate or result in the termination of any such agreement, indenture or instrument, or (c) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Purchaser or (d) constitute an event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to result in any such violation, breach, termination or creation of a Lien, except, in each case of clauses (a)(i), (a)(iii), (b), (c) and (d), to the extent that the occurrence of the foregoing would not adversely affect or delay the ability of Purchaser to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.4 Litigation and Proceedings. There are no (and, during the three (3) years preceding the date hereof, there have not been any) material Actions, or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, material investigations, pending before or by any Governmental Authority or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened, against Purchaser which, if determined adversely, could adversely affect or delay the ability of Purchaser to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. There is no unsatisfied judgment or any open injunction binding upon Purchaser which could adversely affect or delay the ability of Purchaser to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.5 Governmental Authorities; Consents. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller contained in this Agreement, no consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is required on the part of Purchaser with respect to Purchaser’s execution or delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for (a) applicable requirements of the HSR Act, (b) any consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations or filings, the absence of which would not be material to Purchaser, and (c) as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 5.5.

5.6 Financial Ability. Purchaser is a party to Purchaser Credit Agreement.

The Purchaser Credit Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally

and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the Closing Date Borrowings other than conditions which are customary for borrowings to finance limited conditionality acquisitions including SunGard provisions or conditions set forth in Section 6.2 of the Purchaser Credit Agreement. Purchaser has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Closing Date Borrowings will not be satisfied or that the Closing Date Borrowings will not be available to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Purchaser acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are not in any way conditioned upon or subject to its receipt of the proceeds made available under the Purchaser Credit Agreement or any other financing.

5.7 Brokers’ Fees. Except fees described on Schedule 5.7 (which fees shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser), no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

5.8 Solvency; Company After the Closing. Purchaser is not entering into this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors. Assuming that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, and after giving effect to the purchase and sale of Units contemplated hereby, at and immediately after the Closing, each of Purchaser and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (a) will be solvent (in that both the fair value of its assets will not be less than the sum of its debts and that the present fair saleable value of its assets will not be less than the amount required to pay its probable liability on its recourse debts as they mature or become due), (b) will have adequate capital and liquidity with which to engage in its business and (c) will not have incurred and does not plan to incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature or become due.

Upon the Closing, the Purchaser Securities to be issued in accordance with Article II shall be (a) duly authorized, and when issued, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (b) issued without violation of any preemptive rights of any third party and (c) free and clear of all Liens (other than any restrictions under the Securities Act and state securities Laws). There are no Contracts to which Purchaser is a party restricting Purchaser’s ability to issue the Purchaser Securities as contemplated under Article II.

5.11 SEC Reports; Listing. Purchaser has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) all forms, reports and documents required to be filed by Purchaser since January 1, 2016 (collectively, the “Purchaser SEC Reports”). As of their respective dates, the Purchaser SEC Reports (a) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“SOX”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such Purchaser SEC Reports and (b) did not, at the time they were filed (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except to the extent set forth in the preceding sentence, Purchaser makes no representation or warranty whatsoever concerning any Purchaser SEC Report as of any time other than the date or period with respect to which it was filed. None of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries is required to file any forms, reports or other documents with the SEC. The chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of Purchaser have signed, and Purchaser has filed with the SEC, all certifications required by Section 906 of SOX and such certifications contain no qualifications or exceptions to the matters certified therein and have not been modified or withdrawn, and neither Purchaser nor any of its officers has received notice from any Governmental Authority questioning or challenging the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing of such certifications. As used in this Article V, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is filed with or furnished to the SEC. Purchaser is, and, since January 1, 2016, has been, in material compliance with the applicable listing rules and corporate governance rules and regulations of NASDAQ.

ARTICLE VII.

COVENANTS OF PURCHASER

7.1 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director, member, manager, unitholder and officer of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, would have been permitted under applicable Law and its respective certificate of formation, operating agreement or other organizational documents in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser shall cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (A) to maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Closing Date provisions in its certificate of formation, operating agreement and other organizational documents concerning the elimination of liability of directors and the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ former and current officers, directors, members, managers, employees, and agents that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of certificate of formation, operating agreement and other organizational documents of the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement and (B) not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law and (ii) Purchaser agrees that any indemnification and advancement of expenses available to any current or former director of the Company or its Subsidiaries by virtue of such current or former director’s service as a partner or employee of any investment fund that is an Affiliate of the Company prior to the Closing (any such current or former director, a “Sponsor Director”) shall be secondary to the indemnification and advancement of expenses to be provided by Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 7.1 and that Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries (A) shall be the primary indemnitors of first resort for Sponsor Directors pursuant to this Section 7.1, (B) shall be fully responsible for the advancement of all expenses and the payment of all Damages with respect to Sponsor Directors which are addressed by this Section 7.1 and (C) shall not make any claim for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of any other indemnification available to any Sponsor Director with respect to any matter addressed by this Section 7.1. Purchaser shall assume, and be jointly and severally liable for, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to honor, each of the covenants in this Section 7.1.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause coverage to be extended under the Company’s then-current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a non-cancellable “tail” policy for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date (the “D&O Tail Policy”), and Purchaser shall cause the Company to maintain in effect such D&O Tail Policy; provided, however, that if any claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.1 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof. Seller and Purchaser shall each be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the D&O Tail Policy.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.1 shall survive the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby indefinitely

and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Purchaser and the Company. In the event that Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all 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 Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.1.

7.2 Employee Matters.

(a) Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date to, use reasonable best efforts to take such action as may be necessary so that on and after the Closing and at all times prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (“Covered Employees”) are provided base salary or wages and annual cash bonus opportunities (excluding any stock appreciation rights awards) with at least reasonably equivalent value in the aggregate (with neither base salary nor wages and annual cash bonus opportunity individually being materially and adversely different) to those made available by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such officers and employees immediately prior to the Closing. For purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting in all employee benefits provided by Purchaser (other than for purposes of benefit accrual in any defined-benefit pension plan or scheme), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts so that the Covered Employees will be credited with their years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and prior employers (to the extent service with prior employers is taken into account under the plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries), except where such crediting would result in duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the eligibility of Covered Employees to participate in any welfare benefit plan or program of Purchaser, or any Subsidiary of Purchaser, shall not be subject to any exclusions or limitations for any pre-existing conditions except to the extent such individual was or would have been subject to such exclusion under similar benefit plans and programs of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Purchaser will also use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each such welfare benefit plan shall waive eligibility waiting periods and Covered Employees shall be given credit under the applicable plan for amounts paid during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums, as though such amounts have been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan. Nothing contained in this Section 7.2 (a) is intended to be or shall be considered to be an establishment, amendment or modification of any plan, program, agreement, arrangement or policy of the Company, Purchaser or any of their Subsidiaries, (b) shall require Purchaser, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries to continue to employ any particular Covered Employee following the Closing Date, or (c) shall restrict Purchaser, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries from terminating the employment of any Covered Employee at any time and for any reason. To the extent Purchaser offers employment commencing on the Closing Date to any Covered Employee, the Company shall confirm with such Covered Employee whether he/she accepts such employment by Purchaser, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Covered Employee to accept such offer of employment by Purchaser.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7.2(a), Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date to, deliver to each holder of Unvested SARs through payroll to each such holder (subject to withholding for Taxes, which amounts shall be disbursed by the Company to the applicable Taxing Authority, and any terms and conditions in the SARs Plan, including with respect to vesting of such Unvested SARs) the amounts set forth next to such holder’s name in the SARs Settlement Statement, such amounts to be paid (or caused to be paid) on or promptly after the corresponding dates set forth in the SARs Settlement Statement.

(c) The Company shall take all necessary actions to terminate the Conexant Systems, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) in accordance with its terms and applicable Law, effective as of immediately prior to, and contingent on, the Closing, and all documentation reflecting such actions shall be subject to the prior review and reasonable approval of Purchaser. Such actions shall include, without limitation, the adoption of resolutions by Seller, in its capacity as the sole member and managing member of the Company, (i) terminating the Company 401(k) Plan contingent on the Closing, (ii) causing all participants to be fully vested in their accounts (including with respect to employer matching contributions), and (iii) permitting each Covered Employee having an outstanding loan under such Covered Employee’s account under the Company 401(k) Plan to rollover such outstanding loan and such Covered Employee’s account balance to Purchaser’s 401(k) defined contribution plan. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Covered Employees to be eligible to participate in its 401(k) Plan. As soon as practicable following the Closing, subject to such reasonable procedural and other requirements and restrictions as Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its 401(k) plan to accept qualified direct rollovers of the participant accounts (including loans) maintained on behalf of any Covered Employee to Purchaser’s 401(k) plan. This Section 7.2 shall inure exclusively to the benefit of, and be binding solely upon, the parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, executors and legal representatives. Nothing in this Section 7.2, express or implied, shall be construed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person, including any Covered Employees, former employees, service providers, any participant or any beneficiary thereof in any compensation related obligation, Company Benefit Plan or any other plan or arrangement of Purchaser, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries or any such Person’s alternate payees, dependents or beneficiaries, whether in respect of continued employment or resumed employment, compensation, employee benefits or otherwise.

(d) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to terminate each of the Company Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 7.2(d) in accordance with its terms and applicable Law, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing.

7.3 Closing Date Borrowings. Purchaser shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain funds sufficient to fund the aggregate Cash Consideration and the funds otherwise necessary to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or prior to the date upon which the Closing is required to be consummated pursuant to the terms hereof. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as possible, all things necessary,

proper or advisable to obtain the Closing Date Borrowings on the terms and conditions described in the Purchaser Credit Agreement, including maintaining in effect the Purchaser Credit Agreement and using reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as possible, satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Purchaser obtaining the Closing Date Borrowings and consummate the Closing Date Borrowings no later than the Closing Date. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller true, complete and correct copies of any amendment or modification to the Purchaser Credit Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Closing Date Borrowings nor the Debt Financing is a condition to Closing and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Closing Date Borrowings or the Debt Financing, subject to fulfillment or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2.

7.4 Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Subject to Purchaser’s receipt of the Required Company Information, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file an automatic shelf registration statement (within the meaning of such term in Instruction I.D to Form S-3) with the SEC covering the resale of Purchaser Securities as soon as practicable following the Closing but in any event no later than the date which is later of (i) the Closing Date, and (ii) ten (10) days following Purchaser’s receipt from the Company of the Required Company Information.

ARTICLE VIII.

JOINT COVENANTS

8.1 Support of Transaction. Without limiting any covenant contained in Article VI or Article VII, including the obligations of Purchaser with respect to the notifications, filings, reaffirmations and applications described in Section 8.2, which obligations shall control to the extent of any conflict with the succeeding provisions of this Section 8.1, Purchaser and the Company shall each, and shall each cause their respective Subsidiaries to: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble, prepare and file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be reasonably necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and regulatory consents required to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all material consents and approvals of third parties that any of Purchaser, the Company, or their respective Affiliates are required to obtain in order to consummate the Closing, including the consents and approvals set forth on Schedule 3.4, and (c) take such other action as may reasonably be necessary or as another party may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article IX or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated to bear any material expense or pay any material fee or grant any material concession in connection with obtaining any consents, authorizations or approvals pursuant to the terms of any Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.2 HSR Act and Regulatory Approvals.

(a) In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and Purchaser shall (and, to the extent required, shall cause its Affiliates to) (i) comply

promptly but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof with the notification and reporting requirements of the HSR Act, and (ii) make other appropriate filings necessary to any Governmental Authority as disclosed on Schedule 5.5 as promptly as practicable; provided, that neither party shall request early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act without the prior written consent of the other party. The Company and Purchaser shall substantially comply with any Information or Document Requests as promptly as practicable.

(b) The Company and Purchaser shall exercise their respective reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain termination or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act, (ii) prevent the entry in any Action brought by a Regulatory Consent Authority or any other Person of any Governmental Order which would prohibit, make unlawful or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) if any such Governmental Order is issued in any such Action, cause such Governmental Order to be lifted. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Purchaser be obligated to propose or agree to accept any undertaking or condition, to enter into any consent decree, to make any divestiture, to accept any operational restriction, or take any other action that will in any way limit the right of Purchaser to own or operate all or any portion of its assets, properties or businesses or the assets, properties or businesses being acquired pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall not discuss, negotiate or commit to any divestiture transaction, or discuss or commit to alter their businesses or commercial practices in any way, or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits Purchaser’s freedom of action with respect Purchaser’s assets, properties or businesses or the assets, properties or businesses being acquired pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) The Company and Purchaser shall promptly furnish to the other copies of any notices or written communications received from any third party or any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company and Purchaser shall permit counsel to the other an opportunity to review in advance, and shall consider in good faith the views of such counsel in connection with, any proposed written communications to any Governmental Authority concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that neither the Company nor Purchaser shall extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority without the written consent of the other. Purchaser agrees to provide the Company and its counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone with any Governmental Authority concerning or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Seller and Purchaser shall each be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all filing fees payable to the Regulatory Consent Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.3 Potential IP Transaction. The parties agree and acknowledge that, to the extent the Company enters into a printer IP license agreement (or any substantially similar agreement) with the business entity set forth on Schedule 8.3 (or an Affiliate thereof) prior to the Closing Date, the Company may be entitled to receive aggregate cash payments of up to $5,000,000. The parties agree and acknowledge that twenty-five percent (25%) of any such payment shall be

delivered to the Company to be used for the benefit of the Company’s employees, with the remainder of any such payment (i.e., seventy-five percent (75%)) to be distributed to Seller prior to the Closing Date (or promptly paid directly to Seller by the Company if any portion of such payment is received by the Company within the twelve (12) months following the Closing Date).

8.4 Tax Matters.

(a) All Tax Returns of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries required to be filed for the periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be prepared and filed (or caused to be prepared and filed) by Seller, and Seller shall pay all Taxes due in connection with such Tax Returns. Unless otherwise required by Law, such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the most recent past practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All Tax Returns of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries required to be filed for the periods ending after the Closing Date for any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or prior to the Closing Date shall be prepared and filed (or caused to be prepared and filed) by Purchaser. Unless otherwise required by Law, such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the most recent past practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Purchaser shall deliver such Tax Returns to Seller, for Seller’s review and comment no later than twenty (20) days before the filing date for each such Tax Return. Purchaser shall incorporate any reasonable comments of Seller that are received by Purchaser within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s delivery of the applicable Tax Return to Seller into the final Tax Return prior to filing. No failure or delay of Purchaser in providing such Tax Returns for Seller’s review shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Seller pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent Seller is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure.

(b) Purchaser will timely file all Tax Returns and other documentation necessary with respect to all Transfer Taxes and, to the extent required by Law, the parties hereto will cooperate in the execution of such Tax Returns and other documentation. Seller and Purchaser shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of all Transfer Taxes incurred by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each party hereto agrees to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates and employees to, cooperate fully, as reasonably requested by the other parties, in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return of the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period, the conduct of any Tax Contest Claim and the provision of any information necessary or reasonably requested to allow Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws or to compute the amount of payroll or other employment Taxes due with respect to any payment made in connection with this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include the retention of and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to Tax matters and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information.

(d) Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt by any Purchaser Indemnified Party or any of their Affiliates of any written notice from a Taxing Authority of an Action with respect to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which may give rise to an Indemnification Claim relating to Taxes for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may be

entitled to indemnification under Section 11.2(a) (such Action, a “Tax Contest”). Such notice shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the relevant Taxing Authority. No failure or delay of Purchaser in providing such notice to Seller shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Seller pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent Seller is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure. Seller shall have the right to control any Tax Contest that is solely related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall promptly give notice of its intent to control such Tax Contest to Purchaser, (ii) Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and (iii) Seller shall not settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest if such settlement or other resolution would reasonably be expected to impact any Taxes (or Tax Returns) of Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a Post-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date) without the consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied). The Company or its applicable Subsidiary shall control all Tax Contests not controlled by Seller; provided, however, that (i) Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and (ii) Purchaser shall not allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest if such settlement or other resolution relates to Indemnified Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied).

(e) After the Closing, except with the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser agrees not to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates not to, (i) file any amended Tax Return, (ii) change any Tax election or any Tax accounting method, (iii) adopt any Tax accounting method or make any Tax election, in each case, inconsistent with past practices, (iv) change any annual Tax accounting period, (v) agree to extend any statute of limitations for Taxes, (vi) settle any right to a Pre-Closing Tax Refund or other Tax benefit, or (vii) initiate any voluntary disclosure with respect to Taxes, in each case, if such action is with respect to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and would increase the amount of entitlement of any Purchaser Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or would decrease the amount of entitlement of Seller with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Refund of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(f) Purchaser agrees to cause the Company to pay to Seller the amount of any Tax refund (without any interest except any interest paid or credited with respect thereto by the applicable Governmental Authority and net of (i) any Taxes (including any Taxes imposed on a distribution of any portion of such refund to the Company) and (ii) any out-of-pocket expenses that Purchaser, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates incur with respect to such refund (and related interest)) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) (x) promptly upon the receipt of such Tax refund or (y) when used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to credit an account with a Taxing Authority or to offset any Taxes of the Company for any Post-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date) (each of (x) and (y), a “Pre-Closing Tax Refund”). Purchaser agrees to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Pre-Closing Tax Refund. Purchaser agrees to permit Seller to participate (at its expense) in the efforts to obtain any Pre-Closing Tax Refund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.4(f) shall

require that Purchaser make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds shall be for the benefit of Purchaser, the Company, and its Subsidiaries) that is with respect to (A) any refund of Tax that is the result of the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or Tax credit incurred in a Post-Closing Period (or the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date); (B) any refund of an Indemnified Tax paid after the Closing Date to the extent Seller has not indemnified Purchaser, Company, or the applicable Subsidiary for such Indemnified Taxes; (C) any refund for Tax that is reflected as a current asset (or offset to a current liability) on the Closing Date Net Working Capital, as finally determined; or (D) any refund for Tax that gives rise to a payment obligation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person under applicable Law or pursuant to a provision of a contract or other agreement entered (or assumed) by the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) on or prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Within ninety (90) days following the final determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a purchase price allocation in accordance with the requirements of Section 1060 of the Code and the allocation methodologies on Schedule 8.4(g) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) for Seller’s review and comment. Such Purchase Price Allocation shall (i) first allocate value among (x) the assets of the Company (other than equity in the Company’s Subsidiaries) and (y) each of the Company’s Subsidiaries, and (ii) second, with respect to such Company Subsidiaries that are disregarded for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and with respect to Conexant Systems Worldwide, Inc. for which the Section 338(h)(10) Election is made) further allocate the value allocated to such entity among the assets of such entity. In the event Seller does not provide Purchaser with comments to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule within forty-five (45) calendar days from its receipt thereof, such allocation shall be deemed final and agreed by the parties hereto. In the event that Seller provides comments within such forty-five (45) day period, the parties will negotiate in good faith to agree on a final allocation schedule. If the parties cannot agree on a final allocation schedule within such forty-five (45) day negotiation period, then the parties hereto shall each prepare their own allocation. If, and only if, the parties agree on a Purchase Price Allocation pursuant hereto, the parties shall report such Purchase Price Allocation with their Tax Returns and agree not to take a position inconsistent therewith in any filing, reporting, proceeding, audit or similar dispute unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” as described in Section 1313 of the Code. If the parties do not agree on a Purchase Price Allocation pursuant hereto, then each party may take any position it desires in connection with any Tax Return, filing, reporting, proceeding, audit or similar dispute.

(h) For purposes of determining the amount of Taxes that are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date) the parties agree as follows:

(i) In the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis for a Straddle Period, the amounts that are attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period;

(ii) In the case of Taxes in the form of interest or penalties, all such Taxes shall be treated as attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) to the extent relating to a Tax for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before or after the Closing Date.

(iii) In the case of Taxes imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of income of any Flow-Thru Entity realized prior to the Closing Date (such income being computed assuming the Flow-Thru Entity had a year that ends on the Closing Date and closed its books), such Taxes shall be treated as Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(iv) In the case of all other Taxes for a Straddle Period (including income Taxes, employment Taxes, and sales and use Taxes) the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company or its applicable Subsidiary filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of clause this clause (iv), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the mechanics set forth in clause (i) for periodic Taxes.

(i) Code Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(i) Seller shall join, in an appropriate and timely manner, with Purchaser in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any corresponding election permitted under the applicable Laws of any local, state or non-U.S. jurisdiction (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to Purchaser’s indirect acquisition of the shares of Conexant Systems Worldwide, Inc. (the “Worldwide Shares”).

(ii) Purchaser and each Seller shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to effect and preserve a timely Section 338(h)(10) Election with respect to Purchaser’s indirect acquisition of the Worldwide Shares, including, but not limited to, participating in the timely filing of IRS Form 8023 and related or comparable forms for state, local, or non-U.S. Law purposes (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Forms”).

(iii) Purchaser shall prepare all Section 338(h)(10) Forms and shall provide them to Seller for execution prior to the Closing. Seller shall provide Purchaser with all of the information required to prepare all Section 338(h)(10) Forms, including, with respect to the IRS Form 8023, (A) the information regarding the common parent of Seller in Section C of the IRS Form 8023, and (B) the information regarding Conexant Systems Worldwide, Inc. in Section B. Seller shall promptly and properly complete and execute all of the forms Purchaser provides and return the appropriately executed copies to Purchaser for timely filing by Purchaser with the applicable Governmental Authority.

(j) Except as otherwise required by Law, the parties hereto agree to treat for all Tax purposes all payments under this Section 8.4 and all indemnification payments under Article XI as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

8.5 Non-Solicitation; No Hire; Non-Disparagement.

(a) During the period of one (1) year commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), neither Lakestar nor Seller shall, and each shall cause their respective controlled Affiliates operating in the semiconductor industry and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit for hiring or hire any employee of Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person who was an employee of Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the ninety (90) days immediately preceding such solicitation or hire (unless such employee’s employment or business relationship with Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, was terminated by Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), or (ii) knowingly encourage any employee of Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the ninety (90) days immediately preceding such encouragement, to discontinue employment with Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (unless such employee’s or independent contractor’s employment or business relationship with Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, was terminated by Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); provided, that neither Lakestar nor Seller shall be prevented from soliciting or hiring, or taking any other action with respect to any such individual who responds to general or public solicitation not targeted at employees of Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or is referred by search firms, employment agencies or similar entities so long as such entities have not been instructed by Seller or Lakestar to target employees of Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, further, that neither Lakestar nor Seller shall be restricted from engaging in general or public solicitations or advertising not targeted at any such Persons described above or from using search firms, employment agencies or similar entities so long as such entities have not been instructed by Seller or Lakestar to target employees of Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) During the Restricted Period, neither Lakestar nor Seller shall, and shall instruct their respective Affiliates operating in the semiconductor industry not to, directly or indirectly, knowingly induce or knowingly attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation of Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to cease doing business with Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or in any way knowingly and intentionally interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 8.5 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

(b) prior to the Closing, by written notice to the Company from Purchaser if (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Lakestar, Seller or the Company set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “Terminating Company Breach”), except that, if such Terminating Company Breach is curable by Lakestar, Seller or the Company, as applicable, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then, for a period of up to fifteen (15) days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Purchaser provides written notice of such violation or breach and the Termination Date) after receipt by the Company of notice from Purchaser of such breach, but only as long as Lakestar, Seller or the Company, as applicable, continues to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Terminating Company Breach (the “Company Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective until, and such termination shall become effective only if, the Terminating Company Breach is not cured within the Company Cure Period, (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before December 8, 2017 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (ii) shall not be available if Purchaser’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement in any manner has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date, or (iii) there shall be any Law that shall make illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or a Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated or entered a Governmental Order prohibiting, enjoining or restraining the transactions contemplated hereby and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable;

Agreement in any manner has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that a breach by Lakestar, Seller or the Company of Section 6.3 shall not be deemed to be the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur before the Termination Date unless the Debt Financing has not been obtained as a direct result of an intentional and willful material breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 6.3, or (iii) there shall be any Law that shall make illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or a Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated or entered a Governmental Order prohibiting, enjoining or restraining the transactions contemplated hereby and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable; and

(d) by the Company by giving written notice to Purchaser at any time prior to the Closing if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 (other than conditions which are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) have been satisfied, (ii) the Company has indicated in writing to Purchaser that all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.3 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) have been satisfied or have been waived by the Company, (iii) the Company is prepared to consummate the Closing, and (iv) Purchaser fails to consummate the Closing when the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.4.

(e) by Purchaser by giving written notice to the Company at any time prior to the Closing if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.3 (other than conditions which are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) have been satisfied, (ii) Purchaser has indicated in writing to the Company that all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) have been satisfied or have been waived by Purchaser, (iii) Purchaser is prepared to consummate the Closing, and (iv) the Company fails to consummate the Closing when the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.4.

10.2 Effect of Termination.

The indemnification and reimbursement obligations under Section 6.3 (Required Company Information; Cooperation) and the provisions of this Section 10.2 (Effect of Termination), Section 12.4 (Rights of Third Parties), Section 12.5 (Expenses), Section 12.6 (Governing Law), Section 12.11 (Publicity), Section 12.13 (Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury), and Section 12.16 (Acknowledgement and Waiver) (collectively, the “Surviving Provisions”) and the Confidentiality Agreement, and any other Section or Article of this Agreement referenced in the Surviving Provisions which are required to survive in order to give appropriate effect to the Surviving Provisions, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI.

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Except as provided below, each representation and warranty and any certificate related to any such representation and warranty shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on September 30, 2018; provided, however, that (a) the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date, (b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.18 (Environmental Matters) (the “Environmental Representations”) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, (c) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.21 (Intellectual Property) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (d) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.14 (Taxes) and, to the extent related to Tax matters, Sections 3.12(c), (d), (i), (j), and (m) (Company Benefit Plans) (each, a “Tax Representation” and, collectively, the “Tax Representations”) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the sixtieth (60^th) day after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations with respect to the liability or obligation in question (giving effect to any tolling, mitigation, extensions or waivers thereof).

All other covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive until such covenant is performed, except to the extent of any fixed duration set forth therein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the fixed duration of the covenants relating to certain of Seller’s indemnification obligations specified in the immediately preceding sentence). No Indemnification Claim may be asserted pursuant to this Agreement unless (x) on or before the applicable Survival Expiration Date, such claim is asserted by proper written notice in accordance with this Article XI, specifying, in reasonable detail, the basis of the claim, and (y) such claim is made in respect of Damages specified, in reasonable detail, and incurred prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date or, to the extent arising out of an Indemnification Claim asserted in writing prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date, such Indemnification Claim is made in respect of a reasonably estimated amount of Damages reasonably expected to arise in connection with such claim.

11.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 11.1 and Section 11.5, from and after the Closing, Lakestar and Seller shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, members, equityholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assignees (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) for any and all Damages to the extent arising from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty the Company has made in Article III of this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any representation or warranty Lakestar or Seller has made in Article IV of this Agreement, (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement requiring performance by Seller or the Company prior to or at the Closing or by Seller after the Closing, (iv) solely to the extent not accounted for in the calculation of Closing Cash Consideration, the Vested SARs Settlement Amount or Seller Proceeds, in each case, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6, any of (A) the New Unvested SARs, plus any amount for employer Taxes related directly to the New Unvested SARs or (B) solely to the extent not previously paid by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.7, the amount, if any, of the Unvested SARs Settlement Amount as set forth in the Unvested SARs Statement (reduced by the Forfeited Unvested SARs Amount) in excess of $10.0 million (without taking into consideration the employer portion of all payroll and employment Taxes (including social security, Medicare and unemployment) related thereto in the calculation of such $10.0 million), plus the Seller Unvested SARs Employer Tax Amount, if any, (v) solely to the extent not accounted for in the calculation of Closing Cash Consideration, any amount of liability arising from the Closing Date Indebtedness, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6, (vi) solely to the extent not accounted for in the calculation of Closing Cash Consideration, any amount of liability arising from Company Expenses, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6, (vii) any Indemnified Taxes, (viii) fifty percent (50%) of any amount of any investigation, remediation, monitoring and operation and maintenance costs arising from the Known Environmental Conditions in excess of $2,300,000, but not including Damages related to Third Party Claims arising from toxic tort claims for alleged property or personal injury arising from the Known Environmental Conditions, (ix) fifty percent (50%) of any amount of any Damages related to Third Party Claims arising from the Known Environmental Conditions other than Third Party Claims arising from toxic tort claims for alleged property or personal injury arising from the Known Environmental Conditions, (x) fifty percent (50%) of any Damages arising from the Known Litigation Matters, but solely to the extent that such Damages exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate, or (xi) fifty percent (50%) of any Damages (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude damages based on loss of enterprise value, damage to reputation, loss relating to lost opportunity or loss of goodwill or lost revenue or lost profits) solely related to Third Party Claims directly related to the Known Potential Litigation. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any liability related to Unvested SARs, Purchaser shall be responsible for the first $10.0 million (without taking into consideration the employer portion of any and all payroll and employment Taxes (including social security, Medicare and unemployment) related thereto in the calculation of such $10.0 million) of the Unvested SARs Settlement Amount (after taking into consideration the Forfeited Unvested SARs Amount) plus the employer portion of all payroll and employment Taxes (including social security, Medicare and unemployment) related to the payment of such first $10.0 million of the Unvested SARs Settlement Amount, and Seller shall be responsible for any amount of the Unvested SARs Settlement Amount (after taking into consideration the Forfeited Unvested SARs Amount) in excess of $10.0 million (without taking into consideration the employer portion of any and all payroll and employment Taxes (including social security, Medicare and

unemployment) related thereto in the calculation of such amount in excess of $10.0 million) plus the Seller Unvested SARs Employer Tax Amount, if any.

(b) Subject to Section 11.5, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lakestar, Seller and their respective Affiliates, members, equityholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) for any and all Damages to the extent arising from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty Purchaser has made in this Agreement, or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement requiring performance by Purchaser prior to or at the Closing or by Purchaser or the Company after the Closing.

11.3 Third Party Claim Procedures.

(a) Upon receipt of any notice of an Action by a third party that may give rise to an Indemnification Claim by a Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnitor and (ii) deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice (A) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Action, (B) including a copy of all papers served with respect to such Action, (C) including the Indemnified Party’s best estimate of the amount of Damages that may arise from such Action (to the extent practicable), and (D) describing in reasonable detail the basis for the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to notify the Indemnitor in accordance with this Section 11.3(a) will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent (1) the defense of such Action is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice or (2) the Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnitor of such Indemnification Claim in accordance with this Section 11.3(a) prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

(b) An Indemnitor may elect at any time to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of any Action subject to any Indemnification Claim relating to a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) (except for any Tax Contest Claim, which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.3, shall be exclusively governed by Section 8.4(d)) with counsel of the Indemnitor’s choice; provided, that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense shall constitute Damages hereunder (i) if the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action, indictment or allegation; (ii) with respect to the defense of the Known Litigation Matters (provided, that Purchaser agrees that the outside legal counsel currently representing the Company with respect to the Known Litigation Matters will not be removed or replaced without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied) or any Third Party Claim involving the Known Potential Litigation; (iii) if the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iv) if, for the avoidance of doubt, the Third Party Claim involves the Known Environmental Conditions in which case Purchaser shall have sole control and management authority over the resolution of such claim, subject to Purchaser complying with the conditions set forth in Section 11.4(b); (v) if upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnitor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim; or (vi) if the Indemnified Party shall have

reasonably concluded (in the opinion of counsel) that there is an actual conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor in the conduct of such defense. In the event the Indemnitor elects to conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 11.3, the Indemnitor may settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim, and each Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all respects with the conduct of such defense by the Indemnitor (including the making of any related claims, counterclaim or cross complaint against any Person in connection with the Third Party Claim) and/or the settlement of such Third Party Claim by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not agree to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), unless the terms of such settlement (i) do not involve injunctive or other equitable relief shall be imposed against the Indemnified Party, (ii) provide for a complete and unconditional release of the claims that are the subject of such Third Party Claim in favor of the Indemnified Party without any liabilities or obligations (including continuing liabilities or obligations) with respect to such claims, without prejudice. If the Indemnified Party gives an Indemnitor notice of an Indemnification Claim and the Indemnitor does not thereafter promptly assume such defense or is not permitted to assume such defense pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.3(b), then the Indemnified Party may conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, (x) until the later of the applicable Survival Expiration Date or the date upon which the Indemnitor has no further potential indemnification obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed of any material developments and, on a reasonably regular basis, the status of any such Third Party Claim, and (y) the Indemnified Party will not agree to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Third Party Claim (other than with respect to the adoption or implementation of the existing “pilot” remediation plan arising from the Known Environmental Conditions with respect to which Seller shall have no consent rights) without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied).

(c) In circumstances where the Indemnitor is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 11.3(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. To the extent there is a conflict between this Section 11.3 and Section 8.4(d), the provisions of Section 8.4(d) shall control with respect to any Tax matter.

(d) At the reasonable request of the Indemnitor, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnitor and its representatives all reasonable access to the books, records, employees and properties of such Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the applicable Indemnification Claim relates (including Indemnification Claims made pursuant to Section 11.4). All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under the conditions which shall not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Indemnified Party.

11.4 Direct Claim Procedures; Remediation.

(a) In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 11.2 against an Indemnitor that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnitor. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification together with any documents, communications or calculations supporting, relating to, or forming the basis of, such Indemnification Claim. Failure to notify the Indemnitor in accordance with this Section 11.4 will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent (i) such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnitor or (ii) the Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnitor of such Indemnification Claim in accordance with this Section 11.4 prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

(b) With respect to the investigation, remediation, monitoring and operation and maintenance relating to the Known Environmental Conditions, Purchaser agrees that (i) it will not seek to remove or replace the consultants, including Geosyntec Consultants, Inc., or agency responsible for overseeing same (the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board), (ii) nor will it seek to terminate the pilot field test currently in process that will ultimately assist in determining the groundwater remedy, (iii) nor will it initiate voluntary contact with any other Governmental Authority with regard to the Known Environmental Conditions unless required by Environmental Laws, in each case (i), (ii) and (iii), without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied). In addition, until the later of the applicable Survival Expiration Date or the date upon which the Indemnitor has no further potential indemnification obligations with respect to the Known Environmental Conditions, Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed of any material developments and, on a reasonably regular basis, the status of the investigation, remediation, monitoring and operation and maintenance relating to the Known Environmental Conditions.

11.5 Limitations on Indemnification Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any claims an Indemnified Party makes under this Article XI will be limited as follows:

(a) Indemnification Cap. Except with respect to indemnification for Damages that relate to any breach of a Fundamental Representation, Tax Representation or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12(l) (SARs Schedule) or Section 3.12(m) (Transaction Bonuses), or Fraud or willful misconduct of Lakestar or Seller, the aggregate amount of Damages for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i), Section 11.2(a)(ii), Section 11.2(a)(viii), Section 11.2(a)(ix), Section 11.2(a)(x) and Section 11.2(a)(xi) will not exceed the Indemnification Escrow Amount. The Indemnification Escrow Amount then remaining in escrow shall serve as the sole and exclusive source of payment of any Indemnification Claim pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) and Section 11.2(a)(ii), except with respect to indemnification for Damages that relate to any breach of a Fundamental Representation, a Tax Representation or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12(l) (SARs Schedule) or Section 3.12(m) (Transaction Bonuses), or Fraud or willful misconduct of Lakestar or Seller; provided, that, any claim made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article XI related to a breach of a Fundamental Representation, a Tax Representation, or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12(l) (SARs Schedule) or Section 3.12(m) (Transaction Bonuses) or Fraud or willful misconduct of Lakestar or Seller shall be (i) paid first from the Indemnification Escrow Amount

then remaining in escrow and (ii) then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11.5, paid directly by Seller. Any claim made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(viii), Section 11.2(a)(ix), Section 11.2(a)(x) and Section 11.2(a)(xi) shall be (i) paid first from the Indemnification Escrow Amount then remaining in escrow and (ii) then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11.5, paid directly by Seller (solely to the extent that all or part of the Escrow Funds have been released to Seller pursuant to Section 11.7 and only as it relates to such released Escrow Funds). Disregarding any payments of Indemnification Escrow Funds to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the total amount of indemnification payments that Seller shall be required to make to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not exceed the amount of the Seller Proceeds actually received by Seller as of the date of determination. For the avoidance of doubt, the total amount of indemnification payments that Seller shall be required to make to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, inclusive of any amounts paid from the Indemnification Escrow Funds, in respect of Section 11.2(a)(i), Section 11.2(a)(ii), Section 11.2(a)(viii), Section 11.2(a)(ix), Section 11.2(a)(x) and Section 11.2(a)(xi), shall not exceed the Indemnification Escrow Amount.

(b) Claims Basket. Except with respect to indemnification for Damages that relate to any breach of a Fundamental Representation, Tax Representation or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12(l) (SARs Schedule) or Section 3.12(m) (Transaction Bonuses), or Fraud or willful misconduct of Lakestar or Seller, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i), Section 11.2(a)(ii) and Section 11.2(a)(ix) unless and until the amount of Damages (excluding costs and expenses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties incurred in connection with making such claim under this Agreement) incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds $3,000,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i), Section 11.2(a)(ii) and Section 11.2(a)(ix) (other than with respect to indemnification for Damages that relate to any breach of a Fundamental Representation, Tax Representation or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12(l) (SARs Schedule) or Section 3.12(m) (Transaction Bonuses), or Fraud or willful misconduct of Lakestar or Seller) to the extent the aggregate amount of all Damages (excluding costs and expenses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties incurred in connection with making such claim under this Agreement) incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i), Section 11.2(a)(ii) and Section 11.2(a)(ix) exceeds such Deductible Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification for any Damages pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i), Section 11.2(a)(ii) or Section 11.2(a)(ix) (other than with respect to indemnification for Damages that relate to any breach of a Fundamental Representation, Tax Representation or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12(l) (SARs Schedule) or Section 3.12(m) (Transaction Bonuses), or Fraud or willful misconduct of Lakestar or Seller), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will only be entitled to indemnification under this Article XI in respect of such Damages to the extent the aggregate amount of such Damages exceeds the Deductible Amount, and in that case, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will only be entitled to indemnification for such Damages in excess of Deductible Amount.

(c) Damages Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Third-Party Recoveries. All Damages for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under

this Article XI shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds, indemnification payments and other third-party recoveries to which any Indemnified Party is actually paid in respect of any Damages incurred by such Indemnified Party. In the event any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates is entitled to any insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or any third-party recoveries in respect of any Damages (or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto) for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, receive or realize such proceeds, benefits, payments or recoveries. In the event that any such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries are obtained, received or realized by an Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries relate, appropriate refunds shall be made promptly by the relevant Indemnified Parties of all or the relevant portion of such indemnification payment.

(d) Assignment of Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article XI and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, at the election of the Indemnitor, such Indemnified Party shall assign to the Indemnitor all of its claims for recovery against any Potential Contributor as to such Damages, whether by insurance coverage, contribution claims, subrogation or otherwise.

(e) Consequential, Punitive and Certain Other Damages. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any (i) consequential, indirect, incidental special, punitive or exemplary damages (except to the extent actually paid by such Indemnified Party to a third party), or (ii) diminution in value of any business. In valuing Damages, the parties agree that no adjustment shall be made as a result of any multiple, increase factor, or any premium over fair market, book, or historical value that may have been factored into Purchaser’s decisions relating to the Purchase Price, regardless of whether or not such multiple, increase factor or other premium had been used by Purchaser at the time of, or in connection with, calculating its Purchase Price or any proposal or bid relating thereto.

(f) Damages Reserved for on the Closing Balance Sheet or Included in Purchase Price. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Damages (i) in respect of any liability or obligation accrued or reserved for on the Closing Balance Sheet, or (ii) in respect of any liability included in the calculation of Closing Cash Consideration or Seller Proceeds (or, in each case, the components thereof).

(g) No Duplicate Claims. In the event a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, recovers Damages in respect of an Indemnification Claim, no other Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, may recover the same Damages in respect of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement.

(h) Limitations on Tax Indemnification. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for Damages for Taxes to the extent of any Taxes attributable to any breach of any covenant hereunder by Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(i) Materiality. For purposes of determining the amount of any indemnifiable Damages under Section 11.2(a)(i), Section 11.2(a)(ii) and Section 11.2(b)(i) resulting from the breach of any representation and warranty (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any such representation or warranty) the terms “Material Adverse Effect,” “materiality,” or other terms of similar import or effect in any such representation and warranty shall be disregarded and given no effect.

11.6 Indemnification Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, claims under this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (x) in the case of Fraud in connection with making the representations and warranties of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, (y) in connection with a dispute or payment obligations under Section 2.6 (Post-Closing Adjustment) (such dispute or payment obligation to be governed exclusively by Section 2.6), or (z) in connection with a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of Section 7.1 (Indemnification and Insurance), Section 7.2 (Employment Matters), Section 7.4 (Resale Shelf Registration Statement), Section 8.3 (Potential IP Transaction), Section 8.4 (Tax Matters), Section 8.5 (Non-Solicitation; No Hire; Non-Disparagement) and Section 11.7 (Release of Escrow) (in which case it is accordingly agreed that the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or cure a breach or threatened breach of such provisions and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.14 (Enforcement)) (the foregoing (x) – (z), the “Exclusive Remedy Exceptions”). In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, and Seller, on behalf of itself and each of the Seller Indemnified Parties, hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims, and causes of action it may have against any indemnifying party relating to the subject matter of this Agreement based upon predecessor or successor liability, contribution, tort, strict liability or any Law or otherwise (except with respect to the Exclusive Remedy Exceptions). All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth in this Article XI (except with respect to the Exclusive Remedy Exceptions). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(b) after the Closing Date, none of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may seek the rescission of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(d) the parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement;

(e) the sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any representations and warranties set forth herein, made in connection herewith or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be those remedies available at Law or in equity for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement); and

(f) the parties hereto each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and the parties hereto specifically acknowledge that no party hereto has any special relationship with another party hereto that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction.

For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments made to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6 shall not be considered “remedies” for purposes of this Section 11.6 and shall not be limited by the terms of this Section 11.6.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Forward-looking statements involve uncertainties, risks, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are outside Synaptics Incorporated’s control that may cause actual results to differ materially from those described in or implied by any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and speak only as of the date on which they are made.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Synaptics Incorporated 1251 McKay Dr., San Jose, CA 95131, USA | Phone: +1-408-904-1100 | www.synaptics.com

divided by the weighted average of the number of shares of the company’s common stock outstanding during the applicable period. The company refers to this Non-GAAP financial measure because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance because it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences in earnings caused by the existence and timing of share-based compensation charges, acquisition related costs, and certain other non-cash or recurring and non-recurring items. Non-GAAP earnings per share has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s GAAP earnings per share. Further, Non-GAAP earnings per share, as determined and presented by Synaptics, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

This website contains forward-looking statements that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business, and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements may include words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "target," "strategy," "continue," "may," "will," "should," variations of such words, or other words and terms of similar meaning. All forward-looking statements reflect our best judgment and are based on several factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the risks as identified in the "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our most recent fiscal year, and other risks as identified from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. Forward-looking statements are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we do not have, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to publicly release any updates or any changes in our expectations, or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of the date of this filing.
