 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Reference is made to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in
accordance with the terms thereof, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between NXP Semiconductors N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands
(“Company”), and Qualcomm River Holdings B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Buyer”). 

 

	1.	QUALCOMM Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and together with Buyer, the “Parties”), hereby irrevocably covenants and agrees that it shall take any and all actions necessary
to ensure that Buyer performs, satisfies and discharges, and currently has and will continue to have the ability to perform, satisfy and otherwise discharge, (i) each and every agreement, covenant, term, condition or other obligation (both monetary
and non-monetary) to be performed or complied with by Buyer under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Purchase Agreement, as amended, from time to time and (ii) any of Buyer’s debts or other obligations as they become due (including
through providing direct or indirect monetary or other support to Buyer), from and after the date hereof (such obligations in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Buyer Obligations”). From and after the date
hereof, Parent shall (x) not permit Buyer to approve or adopt, and shall take any and all actions necessary to prevent Buyer from approving or adopting, a plan of complete or partial liquidation, or initiating any dissolution, consolidation,
recapitalization, bankruptcy, or any suspension of payments under any federal, state, provincial, foreign or local bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium laws or any other similar laws, statutes, codes, rules, regulations or treaties
of a Governmental Authority (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) affecting creditors’ rights generally and (y) ensure that Buyer is at all times solvent under the law and regulations of all applicable jurisdictions. 


 

	2.	Each Party represents, warrants and covenants to the other Party that: (a) this letter agreement is (i) a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, (ii) enforceable in accordance with its terms against such
Party and (iii) in full force and effect, and (b) the execution, delivery and performance by such Party of this letter agreement are within its corporate powers and have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such
Party. 









	3.	To the fullest extent permitted by law, Parent hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by Buyer or any
other person under this letter agreement. Parent hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of the Buyer Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer or any other person upon this letter agreement or
acceptance of this letter agreement. Parent hereby irrevocably and expressly waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this letter agreement and of any Buyer Obligation, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance,
default, dishonor and protest, notice of the incurrence of any Buyer Obligation and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,
any right to require the marshalling of assets of Parent or any other person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to the Buyer Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than as specifically set forth in the Purchase
Agreement). Parent will not exercise any rights of subrogation or contribution against Buyer, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under bankruptcy or insolvency laws) or
otherwise.

  

	4.	So long as this letter agreement is in effect, each Party hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause each of its affiliates not to institute, directly or indirectly, any action or bring any
other claim, asserting that this letter agreement is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms. 

  

	5.	Except as otherwise provided herein and without amending or limiting the other provisions of this letter agreement, the liability of Parent with respect to its obligations under this letter agreement shall, to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 

 (a) any change in the
corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent or Buyer or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar proceeding affecting Parent or Buyer or any of their respective assets; 

(b) any waiver, amendment or modification of the Purchase Agreement (including as a result of any assignment permitted pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement) or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Buyer Obligations in accordance with its terms, or change in the time, manner, place or terms of payment or performance, or any change or
extension of the time of payment or performance of, renewal or alteration of, any Buyer Obligation, any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any agreement entered into by Buyer and Parent in connection therewith; 

(c) the existence of any claim, set off or other right that Parent may have at any time against Buyer, whether in connection with any Buyer
Obligation or otherwise; 
 (d) the failure or delay on the part of Buyer to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy
against Parent; or 
 (e) the addition, substitution or release of any person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Buyer
Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, this letter agreement or any related agreement or document. 

  
 2 









	6.	The Parties shall not, and shall not agree to, resolve to or commit to, amend, modify, terminate or waive any term, provision, right or remedy under this letter agreement or under any provision hereof prior to the
Closing. 

  

	7.	This letter agreement and each of the Parties’ obligations hereunder will automatically terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect without the need for any further action by any Person upon (and only
upon) the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the satisfaction in full of all of the Buyer Obligations. Immediately upon termination of this letter agreement and without the need for any further action by any Person, no Party shall have any
further obligation or liability hereunder. This letter agreement will survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement to the extent any Buyer Obligations remain outstanding after such termination. 


 

	8.	The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, will occur in the event that Parent does not perform any of its obligations under the provisions
of this letter agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable
relief, to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this letter agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the Designated Courts (or, if necessary to enforce a judgment, the appropriate court in any other
jurisdiction) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific performance is an integral and essential part of the rights of Buyer under
this letter agreement and without that right, Buyer would not have entered into this letter agreement. Parent agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of any equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches
of this letter agreement by Parent on the basis that (i) Buyer has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason at law or equity. Buyer, when seeking
the remedies provided for under this paragraph 8, shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. 

  

	9.	Parent will cause any transferee of or successor to all or substantially all of the assets of Parent to assume Parent’s obligations under this letter agreement. 


 

	10.	Neither this letter agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this letter agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any Party without the prior written
consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Buyer shall be permitted to assign and pledge all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this letter agreement to the Company pursuant to the (i) Pledge, Assignment and
Security Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A and (ii) Disclosed Pledge of Receivables, attached hereto as Exhibit B (in each case, it being understood that no such assignment shall relieve Parent of any of its obligations pursuant
to the terms of this letter agreement). Subject to the preceding sentences, this letter agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

	11.	Buyer hereby notifies Parent of the Disclosed Pledge of Receivables attached hereto as Exhibit B, which it will enter into on the date of this letter agreement and in which it pledges to the Company all existing
and future receivables which Buyer has or may have under this letter agreement (the “Dutch Pledge”). Payments on the Receivables may be made to Buyer until such time following an Event of Default under the Dutch Pledge as the
Company has notified Parent to the contrary, after which they may be made only to the Company or otherwise as instructed by the Company in accordance with the Dutch Pledge. Parent confirms that the Dutch Pledge has been notified to it and agrees
that following an Event of Default as defined under the Dutch Pledge, the Company may exercise all rights of Buyer vis-à-vis Parent under this letter agreement. 


 

	12.	This letter agreement, and any action or controversy arising out of or relating to this letter agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to
choice or conflict of law principles thereof. Each party submits to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if such court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, then in the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware, or if jurisdiction is not then available in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (but only in such event), then in any Delaware state court sitting in New Castle County) and any
appellate court from any of such courts (the “Designated Courts”). 

  

	13.	This letter agreement may be executed (including by facsimile transmission, “.pdf,” or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which
when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (including
by facsimile transmission, “.pdf” or other electronic transmission) to each other Party. 

  

	14.	This letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

PLEDGE, ASSIGNMENT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated October 27, 2016 (this “Agreement”), made by QUALCOMM RIVER HOLDINGS
B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) organized under the Laws of The Netherlands (“Pledgor”), in favor of NXP SEMICONDUCTORS N.V., a public limited liability
company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the Laws of The Netherlands (“Pledgee”). 
 WHEREAS, Pledgor
and Pledgee have entered into that certain Purchase Agreement, dated October 27, 2016 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, Pledgor is the beneficiary to that certain letter agreement, dated October 27, 2016, by and between Pledgor and QUALCOMM
INCORPORATED (“Parent”), a Delaware corporation (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pledged Agreement”); and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Pledgor has agreed to pledge its rights under the Pledged Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Pledgor hereby agrees with Pledgee, as follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the
Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. 
 2. Security Interest. Pledgor
hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Pledgee a first priority security interest and lien in the “Collateral” (as hereinafter defined) to secure the payment and the performance of the “Secured Obligations” (as hereinafter
defined). 
 3. Collateral. The pledge and security interest described above are granted in respect of the following collateral,
whether now existing or hereafter from time to time acquired (the “Collateral”): 
 (a) All of
Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Pledged Agreement; and 
 (b) All proceeds from time to time
received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of Pledgor’s interest in any of the foregoing described in clause (a) above or this clause (b). 







 4. Secured Obligations. The following obligations (collectively, the “Secured
Obligations”) are secured by this Agreement: 
 (a) (i) The full and prompt payment and performance (both monetary
and non-monetary) when due of all obligations of Pledgor owing to Pledgee under the Purchase Agreement; and 
 (b) All
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Pledgee, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, to enforce this Agreement and maintain, preserve, collect and realize upon the Collateral. 

5. Procedure. Pledgor hereby authorizes Pledgee to file financing statements naming Pledgor as “debtor” and Pledgee as
“secured party” and describing the Collateral, which financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any
other manner as Pledgee may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to Pledgee herein, including describing such property as “all
assets” or “all personal property,” in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. 
 6. Representations and
Warranties. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Pledgee as follows: 
 (a) Existence. Pledgor (i)
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, has the same legal name as it appears in Pledgor’s organizational documents and (ii) has all powers and all governmental licenses,
authorizations, registrations, permits, consents and approvals required under all applicable laws and required in order to carry on its business as now conducted. 

(b) Authority and Compliance. Pledgor has full power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement
and the Pledged Agreement and to incur and perform the obligations provided for herein and therein. The execution, delivery and performance by Pledgor of this Agreement and the Pledged Agreement, as applicable, has been duly authorized by all
necessary action pursuant to its organizational documents, and a true, correct and complete copy of such authorization has been delivered to Pledgee.

(c) Binding Agreement. Each of this Agreement and/or the Pledged Agreement is duly authorized, executed and
delivered by Pledgor and is enforceable against Pledgor in accordance with its terms. 
 (d) Ownership. Pledgor
owns the Collateral free and clear of any setoff, claim, restriction, pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance or other charge of any type, except for the security interests created hereunder or under the Dutch Pledge (as defined in the Pledged
Agreement). 







 (e) No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
or the Pledged Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor the fulfillment of, nor the compliance with, the terms, conditions or provisions hereof or thereof, will conflict with, result in a breach of, or
constitute a default under (i) any relevant statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Pledgor or the Collateral, (ii) any of Pledgor’s organizational documents or (iii) assuming compliance with the matters referred to
in Section 4.03 of the Purchase Agreement, cause or result in any breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of
any obligation or to the loss of a benefit or right under, or result in the creation of any Lien in or upon any of the properties, assets or rights of Pledgor under, or require any consent, waiver or approval of any Person. 

(f) Security Interest. The pledge of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid security interest in
the Collateral and a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral, including without limitation the Pledged Agreement, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations.

(g) Financing Statements. No financing statement or similar instrument covering the Collateral (other than in favor
of Pledgee) is or will be on file in any public office, and no security interest, other than the one herein created, has attached or been perfected in the Collateral or any part thereof 

(h) No Authorization Required. No authorization, approval, or other action by Parent is required either (a) for the
pledge by the Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Pledgor or (b) for the exercise by the Pledgee of the rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in
respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. 
 7. Pledgor’s Covenants. Until full payment and performance of all
of the Secured Obligations, unless Pledgee otherwise consents in writing: 
 (a) Rights to Collateral. Pledgor
shall defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to Pledgee. Pledgor shall keep the Collateral free from all claims, restrictions, encumbrances, security interests,
pledges, liens, demands or charges of any type, except the security interest hereby created. 







 (b) Sale or Assignment. Except as contemplated by this Agreement and
the Pledged Agreement, Pledgor shall not sell, assign, transfer, lease, lend or assign the Collateral or any interest therein nor reduce Pledgor’s interest in any of the Collateral.

(c) Pledgee’s Costs. Pledgor shall pay all costs necessary to enforce the security interest created by this
Agreement and collect the Secured Obligations, including but not limited to taxes, assessments, reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and expenses of sales. Whether the Collateral is or is not in Pledgee’s possession, and without
any obligation to do so and without waiving Pledgor’s default for failure to make any such payment, Pledgee at its option may pay any such reasonable costs and expenses and discharge encumbrances on the Collateral, and such payments shall be a
part of the Secured Obligations and bear interest at the applicable rate provided in the Pledged Agreement. Pledgor agrees to reimburse Pledgee on demand for any costs so incurred. 

(d) No Changes. Without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Pledgee, Pledgor shall not change its
residence, domicile, jurisdiction of organization, corporate structure or name. 
 (e) Additional
Documents. Pledgor shall sign and deliver, at the sole cost of Pledgor, any instruments furnished by Pledgee, including, without limitation, financing statements and continuation statements, which are necessary or desirable in the
reasonable judgment of Pledgee to obtain, create, maintain and perfect the security interest hereunder and to enable Pledgee to comply with any federal or state law in order to obtain, create or perfect Pledgee’s interest in the Collateral or
to obtain proceeds of the Collateral. 
 (f) Power of Attorney. Pledgor appoints Pledgee and any officer thereof
as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact with full power in Pledgor’s name and on Pledgor’s behalf, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined herein), to do every act which Pledgor is
obligated to do or may be required to do hereunder; provided, however, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to obligate Pledgee to take any action hereunder nor shall Pledgee be liable to Pledgor for failure to take any action
hereunder. This appointment shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and shall not be terminable as long as the Secured Obligations are outstanding. 

(g) Other Parties and Other Collateral. No renewal or extensions of or any other indulgence with respect to the
Secured Obligations or any part thereof, no modification of the Pledged Agreement, no release of any security, no release of any person (including any maker, indorser, guarantor or surety) liable on the Secured Obligations, no delay in enforcement
of payment, and no delay or 







 
omission or lack of diligence or care in exercising any right or power with respect to the Secured Obligations or any security therefor or guaranty thereof or under this Agreement shall in any
manner impair or affect the rights of Pledgee under any law, hereunder or under the Pledged Agreement. Pledgee shall not be required to file suit or assert a claim for personal judgment against any person for any part of the Secured Obligations
or seek to realize upon any other security for the Secured Obligations, before foreclosing or otherwise realizing upon the Collateral. Pledgor waives any right that can be waived to the benefit of or to require or control application of any
other security or proceeds thereof, and agrees that Pledgee shall have no duty or obligation to Pledgor to apply to the Secured Obligations any such other security or proceeds thereof. Pledgor waives any right to require that any action be brought
against any other person or to require that resort be had to any other security. Pledgor further waives any right of subrogation or to enforce any right of action against any other obligor on any Secured Obligation or other pledgor to Pledgee of
collateral for the Secured Obligations until the Secured Obligations are paid in full. 
 8. Pledgee Demands; Assignment of
Rights.
 (a) In the event that Pledgee determines that Parent has breached obligations under the Pledged Agreement,
Pledgee shall have the right to make a written demand (the “Initial Demand”) that Pledgor directly enforce it rights and interest against Parent under the terms of the Pledged Agreement. 

(b) If Pledgor has not taken action satisfactory to Pledgee to enforce Pledgor’s rights against Parent under the Pledged
Agreement following receipt of the Initial Demand, then Pledgee shall have the right to make a subsequent written demand on Buyer (the “Default Demand”) and, effective upon, and conditioned upon the occurrence of, delivery of such
Default Demand and with no further action required on the part of Pledgee, an “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred under this Agreement and Pledgor’s rights to enforce the Pledged Agreement against Parent shall be
automatically and unconditionally assigned to Pledgee, with full rights of enforcement thereunder. 
 (c) From and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Collateral,
including, without limitation, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC then in effect, and Pledgee shall be entitled to sell, or instruct any agent to sell, all or any part of the Collateral, and direct such agent
to deliver all proceeds thereof to Pledgee, and apply all proceeds to the payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations in such order and 







 
manner as Pledgee shall, in its discretion, choose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein shall grant Pledgee the right to sell, assign or dispose of the
Collateral, other than a sale, assignment or other disposition of rights to receive cash proceeds of the Collateral, in accordance with the terms hereof. 

(d) Pledgor specifically understands and agrees that any sale or redemption by Pledgee of all or part of the Collateral
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be effected by Pledgee at times and in manners which could result in the proceeds of such sale or redemption being significantly and materially less than might have been received if such sale or redemption
had occurred at different times or in different manners, and Pledgor hereby releases Pledgee and its officers and representatives from and against any and all obligations and liabilities arising out of or related to the timing or manner of any such
sale or redemption. 
 9. General. 

(a) Parties Bound. The provisions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Pledgor and its successors
and assigns and Pledgee and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no assignment or other transfer of Pledgor’s rights or obligations hereunder shall be made or be effective without Pledgee’s prior written
consent, nor shall it relieve Pledgor of Pledgor’s obligations hereunder. All representations, warranties and agreements of Pledgor shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of Pledgor. 

(b) Waiver. No delay of either party hereto in exercising any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver by either party hereto of any right hereunder shall be binding upon such party unless
in writing, and no failure by either party to exercise any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other or further exercise of such right or power or of any further default. Each right, power and remedy of either party hereto
as provided for herein or in the Pledged Agreement, or which shall now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or
remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by either party hereto of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such party of any or all other such rights, powers or
remedies. 
 (c) Notice. Notices to be provided under this Agreement shall be delivered in accordance with
Section 9.01 of Purchase Agreement. 







 (d) Modifications. No provision hereof shall be modified or limited
except by a written agreement expressly referring hereto and to the provisions so modified or limited, which shall be signed by Pledgor and Pledgee. The provisions of this Agreement shall not be modified or limited by course of conduct. 

(e) Partial Invalidity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. 
 (f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and any
action or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles thereof; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any matters concerning or implicating Pledgee’s Board’s fiduciary duties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable fiduciary duty Laws of The Netherlands. Each party submits to the
jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if such court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, then in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or if jurisdiction is not then
available in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (but only in such event), then in any Delaware state court sitting in New Castle County) and any appellate court from any of such courts (the “Designated
Courts”).
 (g) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO
REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED AND UNDERSTANDS THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER,
(C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9(G).
