---

related trade names, trademarks, service marks, corporate names and logos or any part, derivation, colorable imitation or combination thereof;



(f) transferable Governmental Authorizations and
Environmental Permits held by or issued to Seller relating to the Mountaintop Facility or primarily to the Business;



(g) all customer and vendor lists to the extent relating to the Business, and all files and documents (including credit information) to
the extent relating to customers and vendors of the Business, and other business and financial records, files, books and documents (whether in hard copy or computer format) to the extent relating to the Business;



(h) all rights of Seller under express or implied warranties
from vendors related to the Conveyed Assets;



(i) all goodwill related to the Business;



(j) any and all causes of action against third parties to the extent relating to the Conveyed Assets or Assumed Liabilities, including any claims for refunds, prepayments, offsets, recoupment, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards,
judgments, and the like, whether received as payment or credit against future liabilities or otherwise;



(k) all product efficacy data, advertising materials, marketing plans, distribution programs, cost and pricing information, customer lists
and other similar information primarily used or held for use in the Business;



(l) all agreements between Seller and any third party regarding confidentiality or non-disclosure of any information related to the Business, the Conveyed Assets or Assumed Liabilities; and

Agreement, Seller may retain copies of any contracts, books, ledgers, files, reports, plans, operating records, or any other document or materials (i) which also relate to the other businesses of Seller which do not constitute part of the Business

relating to the Business confidential pursuant to Section 7.9(b) hereof.



Section 2.2. Nonassignment of Assets.



(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the sale, assignment, lease, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, lease, sublease, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or delivery, to



- 11 -



---

Purchaser of any Environmental Permits or any asset that would be a Conveyed Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting
therefrom is prohibited by any Law or would require any authorization, approval, consent or waiver by any Governmental Authority or Person, and such authorization, approval, consent or waiver shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, the
Closing shall proceed, subject to Article IV, without the sale, assignment, lease, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such asset (and the failure to obtain such authorization, approval, consent or waiver and the failure to sell, assign,
convey or deliver such assets shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by Seller), and this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such asset or an attempt thereof. In the event that
the Closing proceeds without the transfer, sublease or assignment of any such asset, then following the Closing, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts and cooperate with each other to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or
waivers; provided, however, that Seller shall not compromise any rights not otherwise required by this Agreement to be compromised for any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver. Pending such authorization, approval, consent
or waiver, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Purchaser the benefits of use of such asset and to Seller the benefits, including any indemnities, that it
would have obtained had the asset been conveyed to Purchaser at the Closing. To the extent that Purchaser is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 2.2 of any contract, Purchaser shall perform for the benefit of the other Persons that are
parties thereto the obligations of Seller thereunder and pay, discharge and satisfy any related liabilities that, but for the lack of an authorization, approval, consent or waiver to assign such liabilities to Purchaser, would be Assumed
Liabilities. Once authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the sale, assignment, lease, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such asset not sold, assigned, leased, subleased, transferred, conveyed or delivered at the Closing is
obtained, Seller shall assign, lease, sublease, transfer, convey or deliver such asset to Purchaser at no additional cost to Purchaser. To the extent that any such asset cannot be transferred or the full benefits of use of any such asset cannot be
provided to Purchaser following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.2, then Seller and Purchaser shall enter into such arrangements (including leasing, subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the Parties the economic (taking
into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent, to the extent permitted, of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver and the performance by Purchaser of the obligations thereunder. Seller shall pay to Purchaser
promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller in connection with its use of any asset (net of any Taxes and any other costs imposed upon Seller) in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.2.



(b) To the extent that any Material Contract
constitutes an Excluded Contract solely as a result of the failure of such Material Contract to be included on Schedule 5.10, Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller to assist Seller in fulfilling Sellers obligations under such Material
Contract.



Section 2.3. Excluded Assets of the Business.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, Seller shall retain, with respect to the Business, the following (the Excluded Assets):



(a) Accounts Receivable, cash, Cash Equivalents and all prepaid expenses and other assets of the character that would be included in the

limited transitional rights provided in the IP Agreement, all rights, title and interests in or to the name INTERSIL, or any derivation thereof, as well as any related or similar name, and any other related trade names, trademarks,
service marks, corporate names and logos or any part, derivation, colorable imitation or combination thereof;



(i) any and all causes of action against third parties to the extent relating to Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities or not relating
to the Business or any of the Conveyed Assets or Assumed Liabilities, including any claims for refunds, prepayments, offsets, recoupment, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, judgments, and the like, whether received as payment or credit against
future liabilities or otherwise;



(j) all real
property, other than the Real Property;



(k)
any governmental licenses, permits and approvals (including Environmental Permits) issued to Seller, to the extent their transfer is not permitted by law;



(l) any rights in, to and under all contracts, arrangements, permits or licenses of any nature, of which the obligations of Seller
thereunder are not expressly assumed by Purchaser hereunder;

utility or any municipal, governmental or other public authority, wages and any other ongoing charges, if any, and all such payments, taxes and charges shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the Closing Date, and at the Closing the net amount
thereof shall be pro rata paid by Seller to Purchaser or paid by Purchaser to Seller, as the case may be. Any such apportionments and adjustments shall be subject to correction for any errors or omissions that subsequently may be discovered provided
that the Party discovering such error or omission provides written notice of same to the other Party. Such other Party shall, within 30 days after receipt of such notice, reimburse the Party delivering such notice for the full amount of such error
or omission.

and pursuant to the applicable requirements of the HSR Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Parties shall cause to be filed with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice all requisite
documents and notifications in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party shall inform the other Party of any material communication such Party has with the Federal Trade Communication or the Antitrust Division of
the Department of Justice. Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain an early termination of the applicable waiting period. Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to resolve diligently
and expeditiously any objections that may be asserted by the Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall cooperate fully and in good faith
in connection with overcoming any such objections and in expeditiously providing additional information or documentation pursuant to a request for additional information. Purchaser shall have no obligation to enter into any agreement or accept any
order requiring it to divest any assets or business and shall have no obligation to contest any order, ruling or other action conditioning approval of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such divestiture or any
conditions affecting Purchasers operation of its existing businesses or the Business after Closing.



(d) The Parties shall cooperate with one another (i) in determining whether any other action by or in respect of, or filing with, any

permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other the opportunity to attend and participate thereat, (iv) furnish the other with copies of all material correspondence, filing and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance
thereof) between it and any such Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement, and (v) furnish the other with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as Seller or Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with its
preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Authority. Seller and Purchaser may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under

directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be) or their or its legal counsel.



(f) Seller shall comply with and file all necessary notices and filings under Title 72, Section 1403 of the

Section
7.4. Employees and Employee Benefits.



(a) Employees - Offer of Employment; Continued Employment; Severance. Purchaser shall offer employment as of 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date to (i) each Employee at the Mountaintop Facility and (ii) those
other Employees listed on Schedule 7.4(a)(1) (the Non-Mountaintop Employees), at the same or comparable position and at a rate of pay at least equal to the Employees rate of pay in effect on the Closing Date and with
benefits which shall be comparable to the employee benefits provided to Purchasers similarly situated Employees as of the Closing Date, provided, however, that offers of employment to Inactive Employees shall, subject to Section
7.4(e), not be made until such time as such Employee returns to active status and provided, further, that as to those Non-Mountaintop Employees designated as Conditional on Schedule 7.4(a)(1), such offers shall be conditioned upon
such Employees agreement to relocate, at Purchasers expense in accordance with Purchasers relocation policy, to a Purchaser work location if requested by Purchaser. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to
assist Purchaser in hiring those Employees to whom Purchaser extends an offer of employment. For purposes of this Section 7.4, references to pay shall include base pay plus any commission, bonus or incentive pay, but exclude retention
and retention/performance allowances. With respect to Affected Employees at the Mountaintop Facility only, such employment shall be at a location within a 25-mile radius of the Affected Employees location of employment as of the Closing Date.
Schedule 7.4(a)(2) (which shall be updated by Seller on the Closing Date) shall set forth the name of each Employee, and his or her current rate of pay, position and date of hire. Purchaser shall have no obligation whatsoever with regard to
(i) former employees of the Business who are retired, or



- 37 -



---

who are not or shall have ceased to be Employees as of the Closing Date, (ii) Employees who do not accept the offer of employment or continuation of
employment given by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 7.4(a) or (iii) formerly active Employees of the Business who are on inactive status for any reason as of the Closing Date; except that Purchaser shall be obligated to offer employment to
those inactive Employees referenced in (iii) if and when they cease inactive status in accordance with Section 7.4(f) below. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all wages and other compensation (including bonuses, incentive payments and
commissions) accruing after the Closing Date with respect to the Affected Employees, as well as compliance with all legal duties owed to such Employees or their statutory bargaining representatives following the Closing Date. Purchaser may, at its
discretion but subject to any existing collective bargaining agreements, change the conditions of employment after the Closing Date except for (i) the location requirement described in this Section 7.4(a) and (ii) the pay and benefits comparability
requirements described in this Section 7.4(a). To the extent allowed by law, each Employee hired by Purchaser in connection with this transaction shall be provided credit, under each Purchaser Plan (including any severance plan) for which such
Employee is or becomes eligible, for all service with Seller and its Affiliates to the same extent as such service was credited for the same respective benefits purposes as of the Closing Date by Seller and its Affiliates, but nothing in this
sentence shall entitle any such Employee to commence participation in any Purchaser Plan as of any date prior to the Closing Date or to have any contribution made on his or her behalf to any Purchaser Plan with respect to any service credited for
any period prior to the Closing Date, or to duplicate any benefit provided under Sellers Benefit Plans.



(b) Savings Plans. Effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date, each participant in the Seller
Savings Plans (as defined in Section 7.4(b)(i) below) who is hired by Purchaser immediately in connection with this transaction shall (i) cease to be an active participant under each such Seller Savings Plan and (ii) become fully vested in such
Seller Savings Plans. Each such employee may become eligible to participate in Purchasers 401(k) plan after the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of said plan, taking into account any pre-Closing service credited under Section 7.4(a)
above. Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser such records and data concerning participants in Seller Savings Plans as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser for purposes of administering its 401(k) plan with respect to
Employees whom Purchaser employs after the Closing.



(i) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall, if necessary, file IRS Form 5310-A for each of their respective tax qualified 401(k) plans, giving 30 days advance notice of a transfer of assets from the
Intersil Corporation Retirement Plans (the Seller Savings Plans) to the Purchaser Savings Plans which are 401(k) plans (the Purchaser Savings Plans). As soon as practicable after the 30-day periods from the dates of filing of
the IRS Forms 5310-A have been completed, or if such filings are unnecessary, as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 180 days after Closing, Seller shall cause the Seller Savings Plans to transfer the account balances of all Affected
Employees to the Purchaser Savings Plans. The assets of the account balances to be transferred shall consist of cash, including the proceeds of any necessary liquidation of shares held in the Harris Stock Fund under Seller Savings Plans, notes
reflecting loans from Seller Savings Plans to the Affected Employees held in those accounts, and such other assets as the trustee(s) of Purchaser Savings Plans shall agree to accept. Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, each
agree to use its



- 38 -



---

reasonable efforts and to cooperate with the other to effect as promptly as possible the transfers of assets contemplated under this Section 7.4(b)(ii),
subject to Sellers receipt of satisfactory evidence that the Purchaser Savings Plans are in compliance with all relevant Tax and labor Laws; such evidence shall include, but not be limited to, a current determination letter from the IRS, if
available, and satisfactory representations from the administrators of the Purchaser Savings Plans concerning Tax qualifications under Section 401 of the Code. If a current determination letter has not been obtained, Purchaser shall provide an
opinion of legal counsel that the Purchaser Savings Plans are reasonably believed to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, together with a copy of the latest IRS determination letter (if such a letter was ever received), and a
representation that a timely application for a determination letter will be filed or is pending and that Purchaser will take all reasonable steps necessary to secure a determination letter. Prior to any transfer of assets from the Seller Savings
Plans to the Purchaser Savings Plans, Seller shall provide Purchaser with satisfactory evidence that the Seller Savings Plans are in compliance with all relevant Tax and Labor Laws; such evidence shall include, but not be limited to a current
determination letter from the IRS and satisfactory representations from the administrators of the Seller Savings Plans concerning tax qualification of those Plans under Code Section 401(a). If a current determination letter is not available, then
Seller shall provide an opinion of legal counsel that the Seller Savings Plans are reasonably believed to be tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, together with a copy of the latest IRS determination letter for each such Plan (if such a
letter was ever received) and a representation that a timely application for a determination letter will be filed, or is pending, and that Seller will take all reasonable steps necessary to secure a determination letter.



(ii) Seller will give Purchaser reasonable access to and at
Purchasers request a copy of the records of Seller necessary to administer the retirement benefits of Affected Employees transferred to the Purchaser Savings Plans. The Affected Employees initially shall be enrolled (automatically, if
feasible) in the appropriate Purchaser Savings Plan at the same salary deferral contribution level in effect at the Closing Date for that participant under the Seller Savings Plans, subject to the Affected Employees right to change that
contribution level after his or her enrollment in the Purchaser Savings Plan according to the terms of that Plan. The Purchaser Savings Plans also shall honor (to the extent feasible) any beneficiary designations and other administrative elections
in effect under the Seller Savings Plans for Affected Employees as of the Closing Date, but such elections shall be administered according to the terms of the Purchaser Savings Plans thereafter. Purchaser shall amend the Purchaser Savings Plans as
needed to preserve any benefit rights from the Seller Savings Plans that must be protected in accordance with Code Section 411(d)(6) with respect to each Affected Employee transferred account, and to vest the transferred accounts to the same
respective extent they were vested under the Sellers Savings Plans.



(c) Accrued Entitlements. Purchaser shall be responsible for all accrued entitlements to the extent and up to the amounts reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet, including, but not limited to, vacation days,
for Affected Employees as of the Closing Date, consistent with Sellers policy in respect thereof. Seller shall give Purchaser reasonable access to and a copy of the records of Seller necessary to determine and administer the vacation and other
accrued entitlements of Affected Employees as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet.



- 39 -



---

(d) Success Sharing and Leadership Incentive Plans. At or reasonably promptly
after Closing, Seller shall pay to the Affected Employees any Success Sharing, Leadership Incentive or Deferred Profit Sharing payments due, but unpaid, to any such affected Employees with respect to the year 2000. In addition, Seller will also pay
to those Affected Employees who would reasonably have expected to receive Success Sharing or Leadership Incentive Plan payments for 2001 a pro rata portion of those bonuses. That pro rata portion will be the portion of the reasonably expected
bonuses, as calculated by Seller in accordance with its applicable plans, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days beginning January 1, 2001 and ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is 365. Purchaser
shall have no obligation to provide for the Affected Employees any benefits comparable to the Success Sharing, Leadership Incentive or Deferred Profit Sharing benefits maintained by Seller. However, to the extent any Affected Employees would be
eligible, by virtue of job position, salary level or other plan eligibility criteria, to participate in any similar type of incentive plan currently maintained by Purchaser, after pre-Closing service is credited under Section 7.4(a), then such
Affected Employees participation in such Purchasers incentive or similar plan shall not be precluded due to the Employees job location or prior affiliation with Seller; provided, however, that to avoid duplication no benefit shall
be paid to such Affected Employees under any such Purchaser Plan based on any part of year 2001 for which the Employee received a benefit from Seller in accordance with this Section 7.4(d).



(e) Medical and Welfare Plan Obligations. (i) Any
Employees of Seller or its Affiliates who are hired by Purchaser immediately after the Closing, shall become eligible for such medical and welfare benefit plans as Purchaser then maintains in accordance with the terms of each such respective plan,
taking into account for eligibility purposes any pre-Closing service credited to such employees under Section 7.4(a) above. Purchaser shall have no obligation to provide welfare benefit coverage for any Employees of Seller or its Affiliates other
than as provided in this Section 7.4(e) and shall not assume any liabilities arising under or with respect to any medical or other welfare benefit plans maintained by Seller or its Affiliates and attributable to matters arising before or existing at
Closing or arising in connection with this transaction. Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser such records and data concerning participants in Sellers medical and other welfare benefits plans as shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Purchaser for purposes of administering its medical and welfare benefits plans with respect to Employees whom Purchaser employs after the Closing.



(i) Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to contract with the two existing HMOs that cover Affected
Employees at the Mountaintop Facility to provide uninterrupted medical coverage (as a new coverage option under Purchasers group medical plan) to those Affected Employees immediately after the Closing Date on substantially the same terms and
conditions as coverage had been provided as of the Closing Date. Affected Employees for whom such uninterrupted HMO coverage is arranged shall continue such coverage after the Closing Date, without the need to re-enroll (if feasible), subject to any
future change of enrollment rights under Purchasers group medical plan. Any Affected Employees who are not covered by either of those two HMOs as of the Closing Date shall be eligible to enroll in any applicable coverage options available
under Purchasers group medical plan, subject to the terms of such coverage options. Coverage under Purchasers existing CIGNA group medical insurance policy shall be the automatic default coverage option for any Affected Employees who are
not eligible for continuing uninterrupted coverage immediately after the Closing Date under one of



- 40 -



---

Sellers two HMOs referenced above, subject to such Employee having sufficient eligibility service after crediting pre-Closing service under Section
7.4(a). Affected Employees shall be credited under Purchasers group medical plan for the year 2001 with any deductibles and co-payments they have made and satisfied under Sellers group medical plan as of the Closing Date. Dental coverage
for Affected Employees shall be handled the same as group medical coverage under this Section 7.4(e).



(ii) Purchaser shall not assume or have any liability or responsibility for providing or funding health coverage for any individual who
retired from employment with Seller on or prior to the Closing Date.



(f) Inactive Employees - Offer of Employment; Continued Employment; Severance. When an Inactive Employee seeks to return to active employment within any deadline imposed by Seller, Purchaser or applicable Law,
Purchaser shall offer immediate employment to such Employee in the same or a comparable position to that which the Employee occupied before such absence but only at such time that the Employee is capable of performing the essential functions of the
position occupied immediately before such absence. In addition, immediate employment in the same (or, where permissible under the statute to which leave was taken, comparable) positions will be offered to those Employees returning from authorized
leaves of absence such as parental, family and medical, and military leaves or other leaves where return to work is subject to statutory requirements. Such Employees shall be deemed Affected Employees upon their commencement of employment with
Purchaser and, from the date of their employment with Purchaser, will be subject to the same pay, benefits, severance and all other policies, plans, programs and arrangements as stipulated in this Section 7.4 for similarly situated Employees.
Purchaser shall have no obligation or liability to provide any pay, work or benefits for any such Inactive Employees with respect to any period prior to the time such Inactive Employee actually commences employment with Purchaser under this Section
7.4(f).



(g) Inactive Employees on Short
Term Disability. Any Inactive Employee, as described in Section 7.4(f) above, who is on short term disability leave on the Closing Date, and who subsequently, without having again become capable of performing the essential functions of the
position held by such employee immediately prior to such leave, so as to be entitled to an offer of employment from Purchaser under Section 7.4(f), qualifies for long term disability benefits in accordance with the applicable terms of Sellers
Long Term Disability Benefit Plan (Seller LTD Plan) shall be entitled to such benefits under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Seller LTD Plan.



(h) Stock Purchase Plan. Contributions by Affected Employees to Sellers Employee Stock Purchase
Plan shall be frozen as of the Closing Date. Any such contributions not applied, as of the Closing Date, to the purchase of Seller stock under that Plan will be so applied at the end of the Plans purchase period that includes the Closing Date
and, as soon as practicable thereafter, in accordance with the terms of Sellers Employee Stock Purchase Plan, all shares of Seller stock so purchased, and any remaining contributions by the Affected Employees, will be distributed to those
Affected Employees. Purchaser shall have no obligation to offer or maintain any stock purchase plan for any Affected Employees after the Closing Date.



- 41 -



---

(i) Employee Loans. Effective upon Closing, Seller will forgive those unpaid
loans, made to Affected Employees in 1988, in the amount of one 1988 weeks pay. With respect to the amount of the forgiven loan, Seller will effect any legally required tax withholding and either (1) Seller will include the amount of the
forgiven loan in the final Form W-2 (and any equivalent state or local reports) issued to such Affected Employees by Seller, or (2) if the parties elect the application of the Alternate Procedure set forth in Rev. Proc. 96-60, 1996-2 C.B. 399,
Purchaser will include such amount in all such required reports.



(j) Assumption of Labor Contracts. Purchaser shall, as of the Closing Date, assume, be solely responsible for, and hold Seller harmless (pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof) from, all liabilities arising under the
collective bargaining agreements listed on Schedule 7.4(j) hereto; provided, however, that it is acknowledged and understood that subject to the results of any negotiations or collective bargaining with applicable bargaining representatives
over changes in benefits for bargaining unit members in connection with the assumption by Purchaser of the aforesaid collective bargaining agreements, Purchaser shall make all reasonable efforts to provide, immediately following the Closing,
comparable employee benefits for bargaining unit members hired by Purchaser. Purchaser shall execute such agreements with the labor organizations listed as signatories to such agreements listed on Schedule 7.4(j) to effect the assumption of
such labor agreements pursuant to the National Labor Relations Act and in accordance with this Section 7.4(h). Purchaser shall recognize and bargain with such labor organizations as required by the National Labor Relations Act and/or any other
applicable law.



(k) No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Employee of Seller any benefits under any benefit plans, programs, policies or other arrangements, including, but not limited to, severance benefits or
right to employment or continued employment with Purchaser for any period by reason of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement, in particular this Section 7.4, are for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and are
not for the benefit of any third party.



Section 7.5. Bulk
Transfer Laws. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has not taken, and does not intend to take, any action required to comply with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer laws or similar laws.



Section 7.6. Compliance with WARN, Etc. Purchaser shall be solely
responsible for compliance with any notice obligations under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act), 29 U.S.C. § 2101 et seq. (and all state and local analogues of said Act) arising from its failure
to hire and retain any of the Employees that it is required to hire pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof; and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless, pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof, for any claims arising from its failure to hire any of the
Employees that Purchaser is obligated to hire hereunder or arising from any action resulting in employment loss of any such Employees after the Closing Date. Seller shall be solely responsible for compliance with any notice obligations under the
WARN Act (and all state and local analogues of said Act) arising from any action resulting in employment loss of any Employees prior to or on the Closing Date; and Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless, pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof,
for any claims arising from any action resulting in employment loss of any Employees prior to or on the Closing Date or arising from any action resulting in employment loss prior to or on the Closing Date of any Employee that Purchaser is not
required to hire hereunder.

Section 7.7. Insurance. As of the Closing Date, the coverage under all insurance policies related
to the Business shall continue in force only for the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates and not for the benefit of Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Business covering all periods and agrees
not to seek, through any means, to benefit from any of Sellers or its Affiliates insurance policies which may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the Business on or prior to the Closing Date.



Section 7.8. Names and Logo. Except as provided in the IP Agreement,
as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, revise product literature, change signage and stationery, and discontinue the use of any name or logo set forth in Section 2.3(h).



Section 7.9. Covenant Not to Compete; Confidentiality.



(a) Seller agrees that, during the four year
period immediately following the Closing, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in, or have any financial or other interest in, or manage or operate, or provide or arrange any financing for any Person or business
(whether as director, officer, employee, agent, representative, security holder, equity owner, partner, member, consultant or otherwise) involving or engaged in any firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other business entity that engages
in the business of manufacturing, selling or distributing Discrete Devices as being conducted by Seller on the date hereof (a Competing Business); provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this Section 7.9 for
Seller or any of its Affiliates (i) to own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person that are traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market (or a recognized securities exchange outside the
United States) if Seller or any of its Affiliates (x) is not a controlling Person or a member of a group that controls such Person and (y) does not, directly or indirectly, own more than 7.5% or more of the voting securities of such Person, (ii) to
directly or indirectly acquire any Person, provided that not more than 25% of the revenues of such acquired Person for the twelve months preceding the acquisition were derived from the Competing Business and provided that Seller disposes of such
Competing Business within eighteen months after the closing date of such acquisition, (iii) to continue operating existing lines of business, other than the Business, or any of the Excluded Assets or (iv) any business permitted to be engaged in by
Seller pursuant to the terms of the IP Agreement.



(b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the Conveyed Assets include information concerning the Business which had been previously delivered by Seller to Purchaser prior to the Closing (Confidential Information),
such Confidential Information effective at the Closing will be acquired by Purchaser and will become the property of Purchaser. Effective upon the Closing, at no time from the Closing Date to the tenth anniversary thereof shall Seller or any
Affiliate of Seller disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever other than to Purchaser, nor shall any Seller or any Affiliate of Seller make use of any Confidential Information for its own
benefit or for the benefit of any other Person or entity unless the prior written consent to such disclosure or use is obtained from Purchaser. The foregoing restriction shall not apply to any disclosure of Confidential Information at any time after
the Closing to the extent that (i) such Confidential Information subsequently becomes publicly available without breach of any obligation of



- 43 -



---

confidentiality; (ii) such Confidential Information becomes available to Seller or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a third party that is, to
the Knowledge of Seller or its Affiliates, not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or subject to any obligation or duty of confidentiality; (iii) disclosure of Confidential Information is required to Harris Corporation, a governmental
authority or any other party in connection with a claim for environmental indemnification by Purchaser, including any claim for environmental indemnification made by Seller against Harris Corporation under the Harris Agreement; or (iv) such
disclosure is required by applicable law or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, provided that Seller or its Affiliates shall provide Purchaser with prompt notice of any such order prior to disclosure so that appropriate
protective orders may be sought.



Section 7.10. Further
Assurances. At any time after the date hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances or documents reasonably requested by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and necessary for Seller or
Purchaser, as the case may be, to satisfy its obligations hereunder.



Section 7.11. Books and Records. Seller and Purchaser agree that from and after the Closing, each Party shall make available to the other Party (at such other Partys expense), during normal business hours and upon reasonable
notice, and subject to any applicable privileges, the Partys respective books and records, but only to the extent that such books and records pertain to (a) any Taxes owed to a taxing authority or information necessary to complete a Tax
Return; (b) compliance with reporting, filing or other requirements related to the conduct of the business imposed on such Party by the Government Authority or taxing authority; or (c) the assertion or defense of any claims or allegations in any
arbitration or in any administrative or legal proceeding related to the conduct of the Business other than claims or allegations which one Party to the Agreement has asserted against the other.



Section 7.12. Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. After the
Closing Date, Seller shall collect the Accounts Receivable and shall pay its trade payables relating to the Business (to the extent not included in the Assumed Liabilities) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.



Section 7.13. Supply Agreement. Purchaser and Intersil
shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a supply agreement pursuant to which Purchaser will supply to Intersil after the Closing MOSFET die. Such supply agreement shall be in substantially the form of the Supply Agreement to the extent
applicable.



Section 7.14. Cooperation and Exchange of
Information. Seller and Purchaser will provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them may reasonably request of the other in preparing and filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining or
contesting a liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes, or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes. Seller and Purchaser shall make their respective officers, employees, agents and representatives
available on a basis mutually convenient to Purchaser and Seller to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Seller and Purchaser shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in
its possession relating to Tax matters with regard to the Conveyed Assets for each taxable period first ending after the Closing Date and for



- 44 -



---

all prior taxable periods until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other
documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods, or (ii) six years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns.



Section 7.15. Conveyance Taxes. Purchaser and Seller
shall be responsible and liable for and shall indemnify and hold the other harmless against one-half of any realty transfer, sales, use, transfer, value added and other similar Taxes, and any transfer, recording, registration and other fees which
become payable in connection with or by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (Conveyance Taxes). Purchaser, after reasonable review and consent by Seller, shall file such applications and documents as shall permit
any such Tax to be assessed and paid on or prior to the Closing Date in accordance with any available pre-sale filing procedure. Seller shall execute and deliver all instruments and certificates reasonably necessary to enable Purchaser to comply
with the foregoing. Purchaser shall timely complete and execute any available resale or other exemption certificates with respect to the inventory or other items sold hereunder, and shall provide Seller with executed copies thereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (a) Seller shall not be responsible for more than $250,000 of Pennsylvania state and local realty transfer tax imposed in connection with the transfer of the Real Property to Purchaser (as well as any interest and/or penalties
relating thereto) and if the Pennsylvania state and local realty transfer tax (and interest and/or penalties, if any) exceeds $500,000, Purchaser shall pay 100 percent of such excess and (b) to the extent that Purchaser is entitled to receive a
credit of or a refund of any of the foregoing Conveyance Taxes upon Purchasers disposition of the property upon which such tax was imposed, Purchaser shall pay 100 percent of any such tax. No tax for which Seller may be liable hereunder shall
be paid without first obtaining Sellers consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Seller will not be liable for any state sales or use tax if Purchaser could have
supplied an appropriate exemption form thereto. Purchaser and Seller shall agree prior to the Closing Date as to any amount (or reasonable estimate thereof) for which Purchaser is and is not entitled to receive a credit or refund, such agreement not
to be unreasonably withheld. Additionally, where appropriate and required to minimize or eliminate any Conveyance Tax, the Parties shall provide to each other certificates or other documents such as sale for resale certificates.



Section 7.16. Mountaintop Lease. Seller and Purchaser covenant and
agree that prior to the Closing, the Commercial Lease from Intersil (PA), LLC (successor by merger to Harris Semiconductor (PA), Inc.) to Intersil, Inc. (as assignee of Harris Corporation acting through its semiconductor sector) dated as of April 7,
1998, as heretofore amended (as so amended, the Mountaintop Lease) shall be either (i) terminated, or (ii) amended to provide that the rents due thereunder during any renewal term thereof would be at current fair market rents determined
at the time such renewal/extension option is exercised.

ARTICLE VIII

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION



Section 8.1. Survival; Knowledge of Breach.



(a) (i) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, other than those contained in Section 5.9 (Environmental), Section 5.11 (Intellectual Property), the first sentence of Section 5.13 (Assets),
Section 5.16 (Taxes), Section 5.19 and Section 6.9 (Brokers) (such representations and warranties hereinafter referred to as the Special Representations), shall survive the Closing until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the
Closing Date; (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.11 (Intellectual Property) shall survive the Closing until the date which is three (3) years after the Closing Date; (iii) the representations and warranties contained in
Section 5.16 (Taxes) shall survive until 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; (iv) the representations and warranties contained in the first sentence of Section 5.13 (Assets), and Sections 5.19 and 6.9 (Brokers)
shall survive the Closing indefinitely; (v) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.9 (Environmental Matters) shall survive the Closing until the date which is five (5) years after the Closing Date; and (vi) the covenants contained
in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely except the covenant set forth in Section 7.2 (Conduct of Business) which shall survive the Closing until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.



(b) The right to indemnification, payment of damages or
other remedy based on the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether
before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the
accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of damages or other remedy based on such representation, warranties, covenants
or obligations.



Section 8.2. Indemnification.



(a) From and after the Closing Date and
subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.4, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents and stockholders (collectively, Buyer Indemnitees) against and in
respect of any and all Environmental Losses resulting or arising from or relating to any Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities or the failure to have obtained any authorization, consent, order, approval, or notification required under Environmental
Laws prior to the Closing. In addition, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnities against and in respect of any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal
fees and expenses, but excluding any amount that was included in the Closing Date Liabilities as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6 (Losses), resulting or arising from or otherwise relating to (i) any breaches of Sellers
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, or in the certificates contemplated by Section 4.2(c), (ii) any nonfulfillment of or failure to comply with any covenant set forth in this Agreement by Seller or (iii) any Retained
Liability.



- 46 -



---

(b) From and after the Closing Date and subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.4, Purchaser shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and Sellers respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents and stockholders against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting or arising from or otherwise relating
to (i) any breaches of Purchasers representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, or in the certificate contemplated by Section 4.3(c), (ii) any nonfulfillment of or failure to comply with any covenant set forth in this Agreement
by Purchaser, (iii) the operation of the Business or the Conveyed Assets or actions relating thereto taken by or on behalf of Purchaser after the Closing, or (iv) any Assumed Liability.



(c) Any payments pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.



Section 8.3. Method of Asserting Claims, etc. All
claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 8.3.



(a) In the event that an Indemnified Party obtains knowledge of any claim as to which recovery may be sought against Indemnifying Party
pursuant to the indemnity provided for in Section 8.2, or of the commencement of any legal proceedings against an Indemnified Party by any third party as to which such recovery may be sought under Section 8.2, the Indemnified Party shall promptly,
but in no event later than 15 days after obtaining such knowledge, give notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim or proceedings, including the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be
conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) (the Claim Notice). Failure to give the Claim Notice in accordance with the foregoing terms shall relieve Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder only to the extent that
Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the Notice Period) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it desires
to defend (or permit any of its predecessors (a Permitted Designee) to defend) the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. Failure by the Indemnifying Party to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to defend the
Indemnified Party within the Notice Period shall be deemed a waiver by Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such action. An election to assume the defense of such claim or demand shall be deemed to be an admission that the claim or demand
relating thereto is within the scope of indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or proceedings or litigation resulting therefrom only so long as (i) the
Indemnifying Party is represented by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and (ii) such claim is solely for monetary damages (except with respect to Remedial Actions, as set forth below). All costs and expenses incurred by the
Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the amount of such expenses shall be a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder,
subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend or permit a Permitted Designee to defend or conduct Remedial Action
for, as the case may be, the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings. If Indemnifying Party undertakes a
Remedial Action at the Site, such actions shall be taken in a manner which minimizes any adverse impact



- 47 -



---

to the operations of Purchasers business at the Site. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense or settlement for which the
Indemnifying Party has elected, pursuant to the prior sentence to defend, or permit its Permitted Designee to defend or conduct Remedial Action for, as the case may be, the Indemnified Party may do so at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnified
Party shall not settle a claim or demand without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the
Indemnified Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a claim or demand for which the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation hereunder, whether by not
giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the amount of any such claim or demand, or, if the same shall be contested by the Indemnified Party, then that portion thereof as to which such contest is unsuccessful
(and the reasonable costs and expenses pertaining to such contest) shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall control or
participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party, its counsel and any Permitted Designee (with respect to any liability for which the Indemnifying Party may have an
indemnity claim pursuant to any agreement it had made with such Permitted Designee as in effect as of the date hereof), access to, during normal business hours, the property and relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to
consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall use its best efforts in the defense of all such claims. Any notice of a claim by reason of any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in
this Agreement shall state specifically the representation, warranty, or covenant with respect to which the claim is made, the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the claim, and the amount of the liability asserted against the Indemnifying
Party by reason of the claim.



(b) With
respect to any Loss for which any Indemnified Party is indemnified under Section 8.2 of this Agreement, the resolution of which involves Remedial Action, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon timely written notice, to conduct or control
the Remedial Action, or permit their Permitted Designee to conduct or control such Remedial Action (if the Indemnifying Party is required to permit such Permitted Designee to assume and control such Remedial Action pursuant to any agreement it has
made with such Permitted Designee as in effect as of the date hereof), and any such Remedial Action shall only be required to meet the Minimum Cleanup Standard. For purposes of this Agreement, the Minimum Cleanup Standard
shall mean the least stringent standard acceptable under applicable Environmental Laws. Seller shall not be responsible for Losses with respect to Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities as a result of the aggravation or exacerbation of any
Pre-Closing Environmental Liability resulting from any negligence of the Purchaser, any agent or invitee after the Closing Date. It is intended that the scope of the indemnity for Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities with respect to the time period
prior to the Sellers acquisition of the Business from Harris Corporation shall be no greater than the indemnity given by Harris Corporation to Seller in the Harris Agreement; provided however that any failure of Harris to pay or failure of
Harris to agree to their responsibility with respect to a claim between Seller and Harris shall not be dispositive of any claim under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other



- 48 -



---

provision of this Section 8.3(b) or of the Agreement, and notwithstanding any response which Harris may give Seller regarding Sellers claims against
Harris under the Harris Agreement, it is understood that Purchaser shall be entitled under Section 8.2 of the Agreement to indemnification from Seller for any and all costs to negotiate or to document with a Governmental Authority a response to the
requirements of any Governmental Authority to address, or to obtain, install or modify, but not operate, any equipment needed to comply with the requirements of any Governmental Authority to address: (1) wastewater discharges having pH of less than
5.0 as described in a December 1, 2000 letter from the United States Environmental Protection Agency to Seller; (2) treatment in the wastewater treatment plant of fluoride in the wastewater; or (3) treatment of suspended solids in wastewater as
described in a December 5, 2000 letter from the Mountaintop Area Joint Sanitary Authority to Seller.



Section 8.4. Indemnification Amounts. No Indemnifying Party shall have liability under Sections 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b)(i) until the aggregate amount
of Losses to an Indemnified Party exceeds $2,625,000 (the Basket Amount), in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to Losses in an amount up to 25% of the Purchase Price (the Cap) in the aggregate;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable only for the amount by which all Losses exceed the Basket Amount and provided, further that the Cap shall be unlimited in respect of all claims for indemnification
hereunder other than those under Section 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket Amount shall be zero ($0) and the Cap shall equal the Purchase Price with respect to an Indemnifying Partys obligations to indemnify an
Indemnified Party under Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(b)(i) solely with respect to the Special Representations made by the Indemnifying Party.



Section 8.5. Losses Net of Insurance, Etc. The amount of any Losses or Environmental Losses for which indemnification is provided under this
Agreement shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from third parties (including amounts actually recovered under insurance policies, but only to the extent any recovered insurance proceeds exceed costs of collecting
such proceeds and premium increases, whether retrospective or prospective, that are certified by the underwriter to result from the claim for such proceeds) with respect to such Losses. Any Indemnifying Party hereunder shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Indemnified Party upon payment in full of the amount of the relevant indemnifiable loss. An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue
of the indemnification provision hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. If any Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third-party in respect of an indemnifiable loss for which indemnification is provided in this Agreement
after the full amount of such indemnifiable loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such indemnifiable loss and the amount received from the third-party exceeds the remaining unpaid
balance of such indemnifiable loss, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess of (A) the sum of the amount theretofore paid by such Indemnifying Party in respect of such indemnifiable loss plus the amount
received from the third-party in respect thereof, less (B) the full amount of such Losses.



Section 8.6. Sole Remedy/Waiver. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be the Parties sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the subject matter
of this Agreement.



- 49 -



---

Section 8.7. No Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Indemnifying Party shall be liable to or otherwise responsible to any Indemnified Party for punitive damages that arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the performance or breach thereof or any liability retained or assumed hereunder.



Section 8.8. Scope of Damages. The Indemnified Party
shall use its reasonable business judgment in minimizing any Loss upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.



Section 8.9. No Set-Off. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any right to set-off any Losses against any payments
to be made by either of them pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.



ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION



Section 9.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:



(a) by written agreement of Seller and Purchaser;



(b) by either Seller or Purchaser, by giving
written notice of such termination to the other Party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to March 21, 2001 (the Drop Dead Date) (unless the failure to consummate the Closing by such date shall be due to the failure of
the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to have fulfilled any of its obligations under this Agreement); provided, however, if any consent required from a Governmental Authority has not been obtained on or prior to the Drop Dead Date, the Drop
Dead Date shall be automatically extended to the third Business Day after all such consents have been obtained but in no event shall the Drop Dead Date be extended beyond July 19, 2001;



(c) by either Seller or Purchaser if any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental
Authority shall have issued a statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such statute, rule,
regulation, order, decree or injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; and



(d) by the non-breaching Party, by giving written notice of such termination to the other Party, if there has been a material breach by
such other Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement and such breach is not cured by the earlier of the Closing Date and fifteen Business Days after the breaching Partys receipt of written notice of such
breach.



Section 9.2. Effect of Termination. In the
event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no Party hereto shall have any liability to the other Party hereto or their respective Affiliates,
directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the Parties hereto contained in this Section 9.2 and in Sections 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 and 10.11 hereof, and except that nothing herein will relieve any Party from liability for any breach
of any covenant set forth in

this Agreement prior to such termination, including liability for attorneys fees reasonably incurred by the terminating Party in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.8. Return of Information. If for any reason
whatsoever the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller all books and records furnished by Seller, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective agents, employees, or

the Conveyed Assets shall be paid by Purchaser, except as set forth in Section 7.15 and (ii) Seller shall be responsible for all filing, recordation and software transfer fees and any other payments required to obtain any consent required to convey
