validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation
and has all corporate power and authority required to carry on its business as now conducted
and to own and operate its business as now owned and operated by it. Intel is qualified to
conduct business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it conducts
business other than such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not
reasonably be expected to have an Intel Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Authorization; Enforceability. Intel has all requisite corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to
which it is or will be a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and

3

 

delivery by Intel of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which Intel is a party, and
the performance by Intel of its obligations contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly
and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action. This Agreement has been and, when
executed at the Closing, the other Transaction Documents will have been, duly and validly
executed and delivered by Intel and, assuming the due execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the other parties
thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and as of the Closing, each of the Transaction
Documents to which Intel is a party will constitute, the legal, valid and binding agreement
of Intel, enforceable against Intel in accordance with their respective terms, except to the
extent (i) that their enforceability may be subject to any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating
to creditors’ rights generally or to general principles of equity or (ii) indemnification
provisions contained in the Shareholders’ Agreement may be limited by applicable securities
laws.

     (c) Governmental Authorization. Other than the Intel Approvals, the execution,
delivery and performance by Intel of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, require no Governmental Approval.

     (d) Non-Contravention; Consents.

     (i) The execution, delivery and performance by Intel of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which Intel is a party, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not: (A) contravene
or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational
documents of Intel; (B) assuming receipt of the Intel Approvals, the Newco Approvals
and the Intel Contractual Consents, contravene or conflict with or constitute a
material violation of any provision of any Applicable Law binding upon or applicable
to Intel, the Intel Transferred Assets; or (C) assuming receipt of the Intel
Approvals and of the Intel Contractual Consents, (1) constitute a default under,
give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification, acceleration of,
or a loss of any benefit under any Intel Contract, including the Intel Transferred
Contracts, (2) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than
Permitted Liens) on any Intel Transferred Asset or the assets of any Intel
Transferred Entity, or (3) constitute a breach, default or violation of any
settlement agreement, judgment, injunction or decree, except in the case of clause
(B) or (C), for matters that would not reasonably be expected to have an Intel
Material Adverse Effect (provided that in determining whether an Intel Material
Adverse Effect would result, any adverse effect
otherwise excluded by clause (C) of the definition of “Intel Material Adverse
Effect” shall be taken into account).

     (ii) The execution, delivery and performance by Intel of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which Intel is a party, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not, as of the Closing
Date, constitute a default under, give rise to any right of

4

 

termination, cancellation, modification, acceleration of, or a loss of any material benefit
under, any Contract identified on Schedule 3.1(d)(ii) of the Intel Master
Agreement Disclosure Letter; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the
Parties acknowledge and agree that the representations and warranties set forth in
this Section 3.1(d)(ii) shall not be deemed to be untrue or inaccurate in
any respect as a result of (A) any action or omission by Newco that constitutes or
results in a default by Intel or any Intel Affiliate or gives rise to any right of
termination, cancellation, modification, acceleration of, or a loss of any material
benefit under any such Contact; and (B) any withdrawal or voiding after the Closing
of any consent granted prior to the Closing by a party to such Contract, which
withdrawal or voiding purports to have retroactive effect to the Closing.

     (e) Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Proceeding or, to the
Knowledge of Intel, investigation pending or, to the Knowledge of Intel, threatened in
writing, by or against Intel or any of Intel’s Subsidiaries seeking to prevent, enjoin,
alter or delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents or encumber the Intel Transferred Interests.

     (f) Incorporation by Reference of Additional Representations and Warranties.
As of the date hereof (except that with respect to any representation and warranty that
specifies another date, such representation and warranty shall be made as of such specified
date), subject to the exceptions set forth in the Intel ATA Disclosure Letter, Intel hereby
represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.1-3.24 of the Intel Asset Transfer Agreement attached to
Schedule 2.1 of the Intel Master Agreement Disclosure Letter are true and correct.
Upon the consummation of the Closing, the provisions of this Section 3.1(f) shall
terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect, as if never made, and no action
may be brought based on the same, whether for indemnification, breach of contract, tort or
under any other legal theory.

     (g) Reliance. Intel has conducted such investigation and inspection of the ST
Transferred Assets, the ST Transferred Liabilities, the ST Business and the ST Products that
Intel has deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of entering into this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby. In executing this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is
a party, Intel is relying on its own investigation and on the provisions set forth herein
and therein and not on any other statements, presentations, representations, warranties or
assurances of any kind made by ST, FP, any of their representatives or any other Person.
Intel acknowledges that (i) the representations and warranties of (A) ST contained in
Section 3.2 hereof and (B) FP and FP Holdco
contained in Section 3.3 hereof, constitute the sole and exclusive
representations and warranties of each such Party to Intel in connection with this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) all other representations and warranties
are specifically disclaimed and may not be relied upon or serve as a basis for a claim
against ST or FP. INTEL ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ST DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE
EXPRESSLY CONTAINED IN SECTION 3.2 AS TO THE ST TRANSFERRED ASSETS, WHETHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR

5

 

WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR WARRANTY FOR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED
EXPRESSLY IN SECTION 3.2 , NEWCO WILL ACQUIRE THE ST TRANSFERRED ASSETS ON AN “AS
IS, WHERE IS” BASIS. FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING, INTEL SHALL HAVE NO RIGHTS OR REMEDIES FOR
OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH BY ST OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN
SECTION 3.2(f) OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND INTEL SHALL HAVE NO RIGHTS OR REMEDIES FOR OR
WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OF ANY PROVISION OF THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE ST ASSET
CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES SET FORTH
IN SUCH AGREEMENTS); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT NEWCO’S RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES FOR OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OF SUCH AGREEMENTS.

     3.2 ST Representations. Except as set forth in the ST Master Agreement Disclosure
Letter, ST represents and warrants to Intel, FP and FP Holdco, as of the date of this Agreement, as
follows:

     (a) Existence and Good Standing. ST is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has
all corporate power and authority required to carry on its business as now conducted and to
own and operate its business as now owned and operated by it. ST is qualified to conduct
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it conducts business other
than such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be
expected to have an ST Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Authorization; Enforceability. ST has all requisite corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to
which it is or will be a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery by
ST of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which ST is a party, and the
performance by ST of its obligations contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary corporate action. This Agreement has been and, when
executed at the Closing, the other Transaction Documents will have been, duly and validly
executed and delivered by ST and, assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the other parties thereto,
this Agreement constitutes, and as of the Closing, each of the Transaction Documents to
which ST is a party will constitute, the legal, valid and binding
agreement of ST, enforceable against ST in accordance with their respective terms,
except to the extent (i) that their enforceability may be subject to any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in
effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or to general principles of equity or (ii)
indemnification provisions contained in the Shareholders’ Agreement may be limited by

determining whether an ST Material Adverse Effect would result, any adverse effect
otherwise excluded by clause (C) of the definition of “ST Material Adverse Effect”
shall be taken into account).

     (ii) The execution, delivery and performance by ST of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which ST is a party, and the consummation of the

any such Governmental Authority regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to (x)
sell or hold separate, or agree to sell or hold separate, before or after the Closing Date, any
assets or businesses or any interests in any assets or businesses of such Party or any of its

Parties, except as may be required by Applicable Law, or by the rules and regulations of, or
pursuant to any agreement with, the Nasdaq National Market, the New York Stock Exchange or any
other U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange on which any securities of such Party are then listed or
quoted. If any Party determines, with the advice of counsel, that it is required by Applicable Law
to publicly disclose this Agreement, any of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, it shall, a reasonable
time before making any public disclosure, consult with the other Parties regarding such disclosure
and seek confidential treatment for such information to be so disclosed, as may be reasonably
requested by any other Party. If any Party determines to make any public statements with respect
to this Agreement, any of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then each other Party shall be entitled
to make a public statement following such public statement; provided it coordinates the timing
thereof with each other Party and obtains such other Party’s prior written approval of the contents
thereof, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Parties agree to announce the execution
of this Agreement to the employees, customers, vendors and strategic partners of the Intel Business
and the ST Business at such time and in such form as is mutually agreed upon by all of the Parties.
Any disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement, any of the Transaction Documents or
any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to any person from whom consent shall be
required, to whom notice shall be provided or from whom waiver shall be sought in order to comply
with the requirements of this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents shall be made at such time and in such form and with such content as is
mutually agreed upon by all of the Parties.

     4.6 Certain Deliveries and Notices. From the date of this Agreement through the

occurrence that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its ability to
perform its or their obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, and (b) any breach that
cannot or will not be cured by the time of the Closing or failure to satisfy any condition or
covenant contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document by such Party, if such
failure cannot or will not be cured by the time of the Closing.

     4.7 Non-Solicitation of Employees.

     (a) Prior to the Closing and until the earlier of the date that is two years following
the Closing Date or two years following termination of this Agreement, without the prior
written consent of Intel, ST shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, recruit or solicit any employee of Intel or any of its

13

 

Subsidiaries identified on Schedule 4.7(a) to the Intel Master Agreement Disclosure Letter
(collectively, for purposes of this Agreement, the “Intel Restricted Employees”) to
leave his or her employment with Intel or such Subsidiary.

     (b) Prior to the Closing and until the earlier of the date that is two years following
the Closing Date or the date that is two years following termination of this Agreement,
without the prior written consent of ST, Intel shall not, nor shall it permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, recruit or solicit any employee of ST or any of its
Subsidiaries identified on Schedule 4.7(b) to the ST Master Agreement Disclosure
Letter (collectively, for purposes of this Agreement, the “ST Restricted Employees”)
to leave his or her employment with ST or any such Subsidiary.

     (c) Neither the placement of employment advertisements or other general solicitation
for employees not specifically targeted to any Restricted Employee by any means, including
through the use of hiring agencies or through employees of each Party who are unaware of the
prohibitions against the solicitation of the Restricted Employees shall be a recruitment or
solicitation prohibited by this Section 4.7; provided that any such hiring agencies
and employees are not instructed by persons who knew about the prohibition on the
solicitation of the Restricted Employees to solicit for hire Restricted Employees. If a
Party (or any Subsidiary thereof) inadvertently violates the prohibition against the
solicitation of Restricted Employees, such Party shall (or it shall cause its applicable
Subsidiary to), as soon as it is aware it has committed a violation of this section, notify
the other Party who formerly employed such Restricted Employee and either withdraw any offer
to the solicited individual or ensure that such person, if hired, is restricted from working
on, consulting on, or having any knowledge with respect to matters which are designated by
the Party who formerly employed such employee in its reasonable discretion as competitively
sensitive matters, in which event such inadvertent
action shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.7 so long as there
is no repetitive pattern of such actions.

     4.8 Tax Matters.

     (a) Each Party hereto shall cooperate as reasonably requested by any other Party and at
the requesting Party’s sole cost, liability and expense, to maximize the tax efficiency of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the
structure of each of Intel’s (and/or its Affiliates), ST’s (and/or its Affiliates) and FP’s
(or FP Holdco’s) investment in Newco, subject to the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement.
Requests made pursuant to this Section 4.8(a) shall not be deemed to be reasonable
if they result in costs, liabilities and expense to any non-requesting Party (other than in
insignificant amounts) that are not determinable with accuracy at the time of the request or
that involve costs (other than in insignificant amounts) that will be incurred by any
non-requesting Party in years following the year the first of such actions (or the first in
a series of related actions) is requested.

     (b) Upon the occurrence of a Consolidation, the successor to an entity that merges out
of existence or liquidates in connection with such Consolidation shall succeed to all of
such entity’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, and shall

14

 

execute such joinders and other documents reasonably requested by the other Shareholders to evidence the
same.

     4.11 Employee Matters.

     (a) Employment Offers. Subject to Applicable Law, within 10 days following
Newco’s formation pursuant to Section 4.16 (Newco Formation and Preparation), or
such other period of time after the date hereof as may be reasonably agreed by Newco, Intel,
ST and FP, Newco may make offers of employment to Intel Business Employees (other than any
Intel Excluded Employees) and ST Business Employees (other than any ST Excluded Employees),
to be effective as of the Closing or on such later date specified in the offer as may
reasonably be agreed by Newco, Intel, ST and FP, provided that to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, the offers to any inactive Intel Business Employee or ST Business Employee
shall be effective on the date such Business Employee returns to active employment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, ST Designated Employees (to the extent employed by ST
immediately prior to the Closing) shall automatically transfer to Newco on the Closing (or
if such ST Designated Employee is inactive, at such time as specified by Applicable Law).
Schedule 4.11(a) of the ST Master Agreement Disclosure Letter sets forth the ST
Designated Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no
event shall the acceptance of employment by any Intel Business Employee or ST Business
Employee be a condition to the Closing. The offers of employment for each such Intel
Business Employee (other than Intel Excluded Employees) and ST Business Employee (other than
ST Excluded Employees) will (i) be subject to requirements of Applicable Law for the
jurisdiction in which the Intel Business Employee or ST Business Employee is located and
include employment terms reasonably determined by Newco, and (ii) supersede, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law any prior agreements regarding the terms and conditions of
employment with such Intel Business Employee or ST Business Employee as in effect prior to
the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall any prior agreement with respect
to Intellectual Property be superseded, except that unless otherwise agreed by Intel and
Newco or ST

20

 

and Newco, as the case may be, all Intel Transferred Employees and ST
Transferred Employees shall be permitted to disclose to Newco all information in their
possession or otherwise known by them which is directly related to the Intel Business or ST
Business, as applicable, and not related to Patents or Confidential Information of Intel or
ST, respectively, in each case, to the extent not an Intel Transferred Asset or ST
Transferred Asset. As of the Closing Date, the Intel Transferred Entities shall employ only
Intel Transferred Employees, and the ST Transferred Entities shall employ only ST
Transferred Employees.

     (b) Excluded Employees; Allocated Positions. Prior to the Closing, the Parties
shall cooperate in good faith, and in accordance with the provisions set forth in
Schedule 4.11(b) of each of the Intel Master Agreement Disclosure Schedule and the
ST Master Agreement Disclosure Schedule, to (i) identify those Intel Business Employees to
whom an employment offer shall not be made pursuant to Section 4.11(a)
(collectively, the “Intel Excluded Employees”) and those ST Business Employees to
whom an employment offer shall not be made pursuant to Section 4.11(a)
(collectively, the “ST Excluded Employees”), (ii) identify such other employees of
Intel and ST who shall be offered Newco Allocated Positions and (iii) avoid any transfer of
employees to Newco or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of the number of employees
reasonably necessary to operate the Newco Business at the Closing.

     (c) Executive Agreements. Intel, ST, FP, and FP Holdco agree to recommend to
Newco that, within 10 days following the formation of Newco, Newco should (i) negotiate in
good faith offers of employment with the individuals identified in Schedule 4.11(c)
of each of the Intel Master Agreement Disclosure Letter and ST Master Agreement Disclosure
Letter for the positions identified on such Schedule; and (ii) adopt and execute employment
and severance agreements with such individuals in substantially the forms attached to
Schedule 4.11(c) to each of the Master Agreement Disclosure Letters, to be effective
on the Closing Date as of the Effective Time.

     (d) Employee Information and Access. Each of Intel and ST agrees to provide to
each other and to FP and Newco certain general information concerning their respective
compensation and benefit programs and specific information relating to individual Business
Employees, subject to Applicable Law and, to the extent required, any such employee’s proper
consent, solely for the purpose of Newco formulating offers of employment to such employees;
provided, however, that neither Intel nor ST will make personnel records available for
inspection or copying except with respect to Intel Transferred Employees who are employed by
an Intel Transferred Entity as of the Closing Date and ST Transferred Employees who are
employed by an ST Transferred Entity as of the Closing Date.

     (e) Equity Plan. The Parties shall cause Newco to implement the Equity Plan at
or prior to the Closing.

Liabilities on any such schedule which have, in the ordinary course of the Intel Business or
the ST Business, as the case may be, ceased to exist or which have been disposed of or
extinguished by the Intel Business or the ST Business, as applicable, in the ordinary course
of business between the Determination Date (or, if such schedule was prepared as of an

on and as of the date hereof, and, in the case of a representation or warranty made to the
Knowledge of a Party, of which such Party had Knowledge on and as of the date hereof, (ii)
to reflect any facts, events or circumstances which resulted from

case, Newco shall be entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to, and subject to the
limitations set forth in, Article VI of the Intel Asset Transfer Agreement or ST
Asset Contribution Agreement, as applicable, to the same extent as if such additions and
modifications had not been made.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any addition or
modification to the Specified Intel Schedules and/or the Specified ST Schedules shall be
disregarded for purposes of determining whether (i) the conditions set forth in Section

excluding the portion deemed to be unenforceable, the remaining terms shall provide for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in substantially the same manner as originally
set forth at the later of the date this Agreement was executed or last amended.

     7.10 Dispute Resolution.

     (a) With the exception of disputes involving intellectual property ownership and
infringement issues, any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be finally resolved by
arbitration. The Parties waive their right to any form of appeal to a court on any questions
of law arising out of the arbitration award. Any dispute or claim between the Parties which
is beyond the scope of this Section shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of New York and the Federal courts of the United States of America
located in the State of New York. The Parties hereby consent to and grant any such court
jurisdiction over such Parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that
mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the
manner provided in Section 7.1 or in such other manner as may be permitted by
Applicable Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

     (b) Mediation. Prior to arbitration, however, the Party making the original
claim shall provide the other Party with a written description of the dispute or claim and
the senior executives of the Parties shall meet in an attempt to resolve such dispute or
claim. If the disagreements cannot be resolved by the senior management after 90 days from
the date any Party made a written demand for resolution, a binding arbitration shall be
held.

     (c) Arbitration Rules. The rules of the arbitration shall be agreed upon by
the Parties prior to the arbitration and shall be based upon the nature of the disagreement.
To the extent that the Parties cannot agree on the rules of the arbitration after 30 days
from the date any party makes a written demand for resolution, then, subject to Section
7.10(d), the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC in effect as of the Closing Date shall
apply.

     (d) Mandatory Rules. As a minimum set of rules in the arbitration the Parties
agree as follows:

     (i) The arbitration shall be held by one arbitrator appointed by mutual
agreement of the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator within
15 days from the date written demand for arbitration has been received by the other
Party, each Party shall identify one independent individual. The individuals
appointed by the Parties shall then meet to appoint a single arbitrator. If an
arbitrator still cannot be agreed upon within an additional 15 day period, he or she
shall be appointed by the ICC.

     (ii) The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. Hearings and
meetings shall be held in New York or at such other place as the Parties may agree.

44

 

     (iii) The English language shall be used in the proceedings. Documents and
written testimonies may be submitted in any language provided that the Party
submitting such documents and testimonies shall provide, at its own expense, a
translation of the same in the English language.

     (iv) The arbitrator shall specify the basis for the award, the basis for the
damages award and a breakdown of the damages awarded, and the basis of any other
remedy authorized under this section. The award shall be considered as a final and
binding resolution of the dispute or claim.

     (v) The Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the arbitral
proceedings, the existence of the same and the status of the hearings. In addition,
the Parties undertake to maintain the confidentiality of any document exchanged in,
produced in, or created by the Parties for the arbitration proceedings as well as
the confidentiality of the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the disclosure
of the arbitral proceedings, or of any of the documents exchanged in, produced in or
created for the arbitration proceedings or if the disclosure of the award is
required by applicable law, rule or regulation or is compelled by a court or
governmental agency, authority or body: (A) the Parties shall use the legitimate and
legal means available to minimize the scope of their disclosure to third parties;
and (B) the Party compelled to make the disclosure shall inform the other Party and
the arbitrator at least 20 Business Days in advance of the disclosure (or if 20
Business Days’ notice is not practicable because the Party is required to make the
disclosure less than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of the event or
occurrence giving rise to such disclosure requirement, then notice to the other
Party and the arbitrator shall be provided as soon as practicable after such event
or occurrence).

     (vi) The duty of the Parties to arbitrate any dispute or claim within the scope
of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for
any reason. The Parties specifically agree that any action must be brought, if at
all, within two years from discovery of the cause of action.

     (vii) The discretion of the arbitrator to fashion remedies shall be no broader
than the legal and equitable remedies available to a court (unless the parties
expressly agree otherwise prior to the start of arbitration). In no event, however,
shall the arbitrator award a remedy which enjoins a Party or its customers to stop
manufacturing, using, marketing, selling, offering for sale, or importing such
Party’s products. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no event, shall the arbitrator award a remedy which enjoins a Party to license to
the other Party any of its intellectual property rights of whatever nature. The
arbitrator will have no authority to award damages in excess of compensatory damages
and each Party expressly waives and foregoes any right to punitive, exemplary or
similar damages, except as such damages may be required by statute. In no event
shall the amount of damages awarded to the prevailing Party exceed or otherwise be
inconsistent with any of the applicable

45

 

limitations on damages set forth in this
Agreement, including Sections 6.2 and 6.4.

     (viii) The arbitrator may not order any conservatory or interim relief measures
of any kind. In any event, however, either Party may apply for conservatory or
interim relief measures to the courts of the State of New York or
the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of New
York which shall have exclusive jurisdiction to grant such injunctive relief.

     (ix) The Parties shall agree upon what, if any, disclosure to the other parties
to the arbitration shall be permitted. If the Parties can not agree on the form of
disclosure within 30 days after the appointment of the arbitrator, then the Parties
agree that in addition to the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC, the arbitrators shall
apply the IBA Rules of Evidence. In case of conflict between Rules of Arbitration of
the ICC and the IBA Rules of evidence, the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC shall
prevail. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall anything
verbally or in writing used strictly for settlement purposes between the Parties be
permitted by the arbitration to be used as evidence for either Party’s case.

     (x) The Parties shall equally bear the costs of the arbitration. Each Party
shall bear the fees and expenses of its appointed experts and shall bear its own
legal expenses. For the purpose of this clause, the term “costs of arbitration”
includes only: (A) the fees and expenses of the arbitrator; (B) in the case of an
arbitration governed by the ICC Rules, the ICC administrative expenses fixed by the
Court of Arbitration of the ICC; (C) the fees and expenses of any experts appointed
by the arbitrator.

     7.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY
WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND
THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY
HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY
CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE
IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (d) EACH SUCH
PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.11.

     7.12 Third Party Beneficiaries. Effective on the Closing Date, Newco shall be deemed
a third party beneficiary of the covenants set forth in the Sections referenced in Section
5.18 (Master Agreement Covenants) of each of the Intel Asset Transfer Agreement and ST Asset

46

 

Contribution Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary
rights in any other Person, including
any employee or former employee of Intel or ST or any of their respective Affiliates
(including any beneficiary or dependent thereof).

     7.13 Specific Performance. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure
of any Party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all
actions as are necessary on its part to the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein,
may cause irreparable injury to the other Party, for which damages, even if available, may not be
an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief
by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such Party’s obligations and to the
granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder.

     7.14 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Intel, ST, FP and FP Holdco acknowledge
that each of the Parties hereto has been represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation
and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Accordingly, any rule of law
or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this
Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.
