Section 2.5 Unassignable Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, to the extent that the assignment or attempted assignment to the Buyer or its designated Affiliate of any Acquired Asset (including any Contract or Seller Authorization) or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, is prohibited by any Law or Contract, or would require any consent, approval, waiver, authorization, or novation by a Governmental Entity or another Person and such consent, approval, waiver, authorization, or novation has not been obtained or made prior to the Closing (with respect to the applicable Closing Acquired Assets) or the RTP Fab Transfer Date (with respect to the applicable RTP Fab Acquired Assets), or with respect to which any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Seller Entity or the Buyer or its designated Affiliate thereunder (collectively, the “Unassignable Rights”), then neither this Agreement nor any other Transaction Document will constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof, and the same will not be assigned at the Closing or on the RTP Fab Transfer Date, as applicable; provided, however, that the Closing and the RTP Fab Transfer shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing without any adjustment to the Purchase Price as a result thereof, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Seller Entity or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any Liability whatsoever arising out of or relating to, and neither the Buyer nor any Buyer Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification under Article X based on, the Seller’s or the Buyer’s failure to obtain any consent, approval, waiver, authorization, or novation that may be required in connection with the Transactions or because of any circumstances resulting therefrom (including any default under or acceleration or termination of any Contract as a result thereof, or because of any termination for convenience) other than to the extent such failure constitutes a breach of the obligations set forth in this Section 2.5 or the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.3.

(b) After the Closing and the RTP Fab Transfer, as applicable, the Buyer and the Seller will each use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain, or to cause their respective Affiliates to promptly obtain, all consents, approvals, waivers, authorizations or novations that have not been obtained prior to the Closing or the RTP Fab Transfer, as applicable, in connection with the Unassignable Rights.

(c) Until such consent, approval, waiver, authorization, or novation that is necessary for the effective assignment to the Buyer or any designated Affiliate of the Buyer of any Unassignable Right is obtained, provided and to the extent that the Seller can (or can cause the applicable Seller Entity to) do so without breaching the terms of such Unassignable Right, the Seller shall (or shall cause the applicable Seller Entity to) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Buyer or its designated Affiliate, in all material respects, with, and the Seller shall (or shall cause the applicable Seller Entity to) hold in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Buyer or its designated Affiliate, all the economic (taking into account all burdens to the Seller and its Affiliates) operational and other benefits of such Unassignable Right, to the extent permitted, of obtaining or making such consent, approval, waiver, authorization, notice or novation, as the case may be. Without limitation of and subject to the foregoing, at the Buyer’s request the Seller shall (or shall cause the applicable Seller Entity to) (i) cooperate, in all reasonable respects, in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement proposed by the Buyer under which the Buyer or its

-28-

designated Affiliate would obtain the economic, operational and other benefits thereunder and would assume any related economic burden thereunder, (ii) enforce for the benefit of the Buyer or its designated Affiliate and as directed by the Buyer such Seller Entity’s rights under such Unassignable Right as if such Unassignable Right had been sold, conveyed, assigned and delivered to the Buyer or its designated Affiliate, including in the name of the Seller Entity party to such Unassignable Right or otherwise as the Buyer shall specify, including the right to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof, and (iii) permit the Buyer or its designated Affiliate to enforce any rights arising with respect thereto; provided, however, that, (1) the Buyer hereby agrees to promptly reimburse the Seller expenses incurred by each Seller Entity in complying with the Buyer’s or its designated Affiliate’s requests described above and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Entities to the full extent permitted by applicable Laws from and against any Liabilities arising from, or in connection with, such Unassignable Rights, and (2) the Buyer or its designated Affiliate shall assume the related economic burden with respect to such Unassignable Rights and the Buyer or its designated Affiliate shall, as agent or subcontractor for the applicable Seller Entity pay, perform and discharge fully as and when required the Liabilities of such Seller Entity with respect to such Unassignable Rights from and after the Closing or the RTP Fab Transfer, as applicable. Subject to the Buyer’s or its designated Affiliate’s compliance in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 2.5(c), the Seller Entity party to such Unassignable Right will promptly pay to the Buyer or its designated Affiliate all income, proceeds and other monies received by such Seller Entity from third parties to the extent related to the Buyer’s or its designated Affiliate’s intended rights under such Unassignable Right, as contemplated by this Section 2.5(c) and net of any applicable expenses of such Seller Entity. Once any such consent, approval, waiver, authorization or novation is obtained or notice is properly made, the applicable Seller Entity shall assign such Unassignable Right to the Buyer or its designated Affiliate at no additional cost to the Buyer. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to eliminate or otherwise minimize any Taxes that may be imposed on any Seller Entity with respect to the Unassignable Rights.

(d) This Section 2.5 shall not apply to Business Federal Contracts, which are the subject of Section 6.9.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Seller or any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay compensation to any third party, commence or participate in any Action or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, including any accommodation or arrangement to remain secondarily liable or contingently liable for any Assumed Liability) to any third party in connection with the Seller’s and its Affiliates’ obligations under this Section 2.5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) at any time upon the Buyer’s request, the Seller agrees to assign (or cause the applicable Seller Entity to assign) any Unassignable Right to the Buyer or its designated Affiliate for no additional consideration and (ii) once any consent, approval, waiver, authorization or novation referenced in this Section 2.5 is obtained or notice is properly made, the Seller or its applicable Affiliate shall assign the applicable Unassignable Right to the Buyer or its designated Affiliate for no additional consideration and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Unassignable Right shall thereafter be treated as an Acquired Asset for all purposes hereunder.

Section 2.6 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) will take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures on the second Business Day after the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted, waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to complete the Transactions (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) or such other date or time or in such other manner as the Parties may mutually determine (the actual date on which the Closing occurs being the “Closing Date”). The Closing will be effective as of 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on the Closing Date. Documents may be delivered at the Closing by facsimile or other electronic means, provided that executed documents with original signatures to the extent required for any regulatory filings contemplated by this Agreement will be delivered as soon as

-29-

reasonably practicable after the Closing. All actions to be taken and all documents to be executed or delivered at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken, executed and delivered simultaneously upon mutual release by the Parties, and no action will be deemed taken and no document will be deemed executed or delivered until all have been taken, delivered and executed, except in each case to the extent otherwise stated in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 2.7 Purchase Price. In consideration for the Acquired Assets, at the Closing, the Buyer shall (a) pay to the Seller an aggregate amount equal to the Closing Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Seller no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (b) assume the Assumed Liabilities, and (c) issue the Shares to the Seller. The Closing Payment is exclusive of any Transfer Taxes arising from the Transactions that are required to be paid or borne by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.8 Cash Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Cash Purchase Price. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a certificate of the Seller reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and executed on the Seller’s behalf by an authorized officer of the Seller that sets forth in reasonable detail the Seller’s reasonable good faith estimate of the Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”) and each component thereof for purposes of calculating the Closing Payment to be paid in connection with the Closing (which such calculations shall include reasonable supporting schedules); provided that if the Buyer objects in good faith to the Seller’s calculation of the Estimated Adjustment Amount by written notice to the Seller delivered at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall consider such objections in good faith, but the Seller’s determination of the Estimated Adjustment Amount shall be final and binding for purposes of calculating the Closing Payment.

(b) Calculation. No later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, at its expense, (i) cause to be prepared a statement (the “Closing Date Adjustment Amount Schedule”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Buyer’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount (and each component thereof) and (ii) deliver the Closing Date Adjustment Amount Schedule (together with reasonable supporting schedules) to the Seller.

(i) From and after the delivery of the Closing Date Adjustment Amount Schedule, the Buyer shall provide the Seller and any accountants or advisors retained by the Seller with reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the relevant books and records of the Buyer and its Affiliates used by the Buyer in the preparation of, or otherwise reasonably relevant to, the Closing Date Adjustment Amount Schedule for the purposes of (A) enabling the Seller and its accountants and advisors to calculate, and to review the Buyer’s calculation of, the Adjustment Amount, and (B) identifying any dispute related to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount. The fees and expenses of any such accountants and advisors retained by the Seller shall be paid by the Seller.

(ii) If the Seller disputes the calculation of the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Closing Date Adjustment Amount Schedule, then the Seller shall deliver a written notice (an “Adjustment Dispute Notice”) to the Buyer at any time during the thirty (30)-day period commencing upon receipt by the Seller of the Closing Date Adjustment Amount Schedule (the “Review Period”). The Adjustment Dispute Notice shall set forth the basis for the dispute of any such calculation in reasonable detail.

-30-

(iii) If the Seller does not deliver an Adjustment Dispute Notice to the Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Buyer’s calculation of the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Closing Date Adjustment Amount Schedule shall be deemed final and binding on the Parties for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iv) If the Seller delivers an Adjustment Dispute Notice to the Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the Adjustment Amount. If the Seller and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement on the Adjustment Amount within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Adjustment Dispute Notice (or such longer period as shall be mutually agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller), either Party shall have the right to refer such dispute to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm jointly selected by the Seller and the Buyer (or if they cannot agree on such an accounting firm, a nationally recognized accounting firm without a business relationship with the Buyer or the Seller that is selected by an accounting firm designated by the Seller and an accounting firm designated by the Buyer) (such firm, or any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the “Accounting Firm”) after such thirtieth (30th) day for resolution. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Accounting Firm: (A) each of the Buyer and the Seller shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Accounting Firm to provide its views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount, provided that (1) each Party will provide the other Party with a copy of all materials provided to, and communications with, the Accounting Firm and (2) no Party will engage in any ex parte communication with the Accounting Firm at any time with respect to the Adjustment Amount, (B) the Accounting Firm shall determine the Adjustment Amount, including resolution of any issues relating to the application or requirements of the Working Capital Accounting Principles in connection therewith, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days of such referral and upon reaching such determination shall deliver a written copy of its determination to the Seller and the Buyer, and (C) the determination made by the Accounting Firm of the Adjustment Amount shall be conclusive, final and binding on the Parties for all purposes of this Agreement, absent fraud or manifest error. In calculating the Adjustment Amount, the Accounting Firm shall be limited to (x) addressing any particular disputes referred to in the Adjustment Dispute Notice and (y) choosing with respect to any particular item in dispute the Buyer’s position, the Seller’s position or a position in between the Seller’s position and the Buyer’s position. If the Accounting Firm’s final determination is in full agreement with the Buyer, then the Seller shall bear the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm. If the Accounting Firm’s final determination is in full agreement with the Seller, then the Buyer shall bear the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm. Otherwise, each of the Seller and the Buyer shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm; provided that if the Accounting Firm determines that one Party has adopted one or more positions with respect to the Closing Date Adjustment Amount Schedule or the calculation of the Adjustment Amount that are frivolous or clearly without merit, the Accounting Firm may, in its discretion, assign a greater portion of any such fees and expenses to such Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Accounting Firm’s authority to resolve any dispute shall be limited to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute. Any dispute among the Parties regarding the interpretation of this Agreement and the terms hereof shall be resolved, including through appropriate judicial resolution if necessary, prior to the selection of, and submission of the dispute to, the Accounting Firm.

(d) Payment Upon Final Determination of Adjustments.

(i) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.8(c), is less than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then the Seller shall pay to the Buyer the amount of such difference (i.e., (A) the Estimated Adjustment Amount minus (B) the Adjustment

-31-

Amount, as finally determined) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Buyer, no later than five (5) Business Days after such determination.

(ii) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.8(c), is greater than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the amount of such difference (i.e., (A) the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined, minus (B) the Estimated Adjustment Amount) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller, no later than five (5) Business Days after such determination.

Section 2.9 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) At least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing, the Seller shall provide to the Buyer an allocation of the Purchase Price as estimated by the Seller among the Acquired Assets and the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in Section 6.1 (such allocation, the “Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation”). The Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation shall be used to make all necessary preliminary determinations for Transfer Tax purposes pursuant to Section 6.4(a). The Buyer shall have twenty (20) days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Seller’s proposed schedule setting forth the Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation in which to deliver comments to the Seller in respect of the Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation. The Buyer and the Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in good faith any differences with respect to the Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation.

(b) Not later than forty-five (45) days after the Adjustment Amount has been finally determined pursuant to Section 2.8, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a proposed schedule allocating the Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets and the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in Section 6.1, which allocation shall be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation”). For purposes of preparing the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation, the Purchase Price will be calculated as the sum of the Cash Purchase Price and the fair market value of the Shares determined as of the Closing Date.

(c) The Seller shall have thirty (30) days after the Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s proposed schedule setting forth the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation in which to deliver comments to the Buyer with respect to the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation. The Buyer and the Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in good faith any differences with respect to the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation. If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to reach such agreement within thirty (30) days following the delivery of comments to the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation by the Seller to the Buyer (or such longer period as shall be mutually agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller), each of the Buyer and the Seller shall have the right to refer any disputed elements of the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation to an internationally recognized independent accounting firm, with sufficient international merger and acquisition experience, jointly selected by the Seller and the Buyer (or if they cannot agree on such an accounting firm, an internationally recognized accounting firm without a business relationship with the Buyer or the Seller that is selected by an accounting firm designated by the Seller and an accounting firm designated by the Buyer) (such firm, or any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the “Allocation Accounting Firm”) for resolution. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Allocation Accounting Firm, (i) the Allocation Accounting Firm shall determine the disputed elements of the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder within thirty (30) days of such referral and upon reaching such determination shall deliver a written copy of its determination to the Seller and the Buyer; and (ii) the determination made by the Allocation Accounting Firm of the disputed elements of the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation shall be conclusive, final and binding on the Parties for all purposes of this Agreement, absent Fraud or manifest error. In determining the Post-

-32-

Closing Purchase Price Allocation, the Allocation Accounting Firm shall be limited to (x) addressing any particular disputes referred to the Allocation Accounting Firm by the Buyer or the Seller and will not make any other determination, including any determination as to whether any undisputed items in the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation are correct, and (y) choosing with respect to any particular item in dispute the Buyer’s position, the Seller’s position or a position in between the Seller’s position and the Buyer’s position. Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Allocation Accounting Firm for such determination.

(d) The Buyer and the Seller agree to, and to cause their Affiliates to, (i) prepare and file each of their respective Tax Returns, and make all necessary final determinations for Transfer Tax purposes pursuant to Section 6.4(a), on a basis consistent with the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9 and (ii) take no position inconsistent with the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation on any applicable Tax Return or in any Audit before any Governmental Entity, in each case except to the extent otherwise required by Law.

(e) If the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation shall be adjusted as appropriate, and the Buyer and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate in making any such adjustments.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation will allocate the Purchase Price among the Closing Acquired Assets and the RTP Fab Acquired Assets, and will not be subject to adjustment or true-up merely as a result of any assumptions regarding the RTP Fab Acquired Assets to be transferred as reflected in the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation being incorrect. Unless the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.9(e), the Buyer and the Seller will not change the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation once it has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9.

Section 2.10 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Buyer and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any other Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Seller Entity or such other Person in respect of whom such withholding was made. If the Buyer believes it is required under the Code or any provision of any other Tax Law to deduct and withhold any Taxes with respect to any payment pursuant to this Agreement, the Buyer shall notify the applicable Seller Entity or other applicable Person at least three (3) days prior to making such payment and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Seller Entity or other applicable Person in taking such actions as may be reasonably requested by such Seller Entity or other applicable Person and permissible under applicable Tax Law for purposes of reducing or eliminating the amount required to be deducted and withheld.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER

The Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer that the following representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, except as disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

-33-

Section 3.1 Organization, Standing and Power.

(a) Each Seller Entity is an entity duly organized and in good standing or existence, as the case may be, under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization. Each Seller Entity has the requisite organizational power and authority to own, license or use the Acquired Assets and to carry on the Business as it has been and is now owned and being and is proposed to be conducted by such Seller Entity. Each Seller Entity is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing or existence, as the case may be, in each jurisdiction (other than its jurisdiction of organization) in which the ownership or leasing of the Acquired Assets or the conduct of the Business by such Seller Entity requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing or in existence would not have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Seller has made available to the Buyer correct and complete copies of the articles of incorporation or bylaws or other governing documents of each Seller Entity (each as amended to date).

(c) The Acquired Assets do not include any direct or indirect equity participation or similar interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other business association or entity.

Section 3.2 Authority. Each Seller Entity has all requisite organizational power to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to complete the Transactions. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the applicable Seller Entity is a party and the completion of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all requisite organizational action, and no other action on the part of any Seller Entity is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which such Seller Entity is a party or to complete the Transactions. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Seller, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Buyer, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, including the effect of statutory and other Laws involving fraudulent conveyances and preferential transfers, and (b) the limitations imposed by general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in any Action, whether at Law or in equity (collectively, the “Bankruptcy and Equity Principles”). Upon the execution and delivery by the applicable Seller Entity of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, such other Transaction Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Seller Entity, enforceable against such Seller Entity in accordance with their terms except as enforceability may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Principles.

Section 3.3 Consents and Approvals; No Violation. The execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement and by each Seller Entity of the other Transaction Documents to which such Seller Entity is a party and the performance of each such Seller Entity’s obligations hereunder and thereunder will not (a) violate any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws or similar governing documents of such Seller Entity; (b) violate any Law applicable to such Seller Entity; (c) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, result in the acceleration of obligations under, create in any party the right to terminate, modify or cancel, or require any notice, consent or waiver under, any Material Business Contract, (d) result in the imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any Acquired Asset, (e) require any filing with, or permit, consent or approval of, or the giving of any notice to, any Governmental Entity, other than (i) the Mandatory Regulatory Approval and (ii) the requirement to enter into a Novation Agreement with the U.S. Government in respect of each Business Federal Contract with respect to which

-34-

the U.S. Government is the counterparty, except in the case of each of clauses (b)–(e), as would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Business or the Acquired Assets, taken as a whole.

Section 3.4 Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities.

(a) The financial information set forth in Section 3.4(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule as of and for the periods set forth therein (the “Financial Information”) (i) is derived from the Files and Records of the Seller Entities, (ii) was prepared in good faith, and (iii) fairly presents in all material respects the financial condition or results of operations of the Business as of such respective times and for such respective time periods referred to therein, in each case as set forth in Section 3.4(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that (x) the Seller Entities do not maintain separate financial statements of the Business, (y) the assets and liabilities included in the Financial Information may differ from those that are within the scope of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities or otherwise used or incurred in the operation of the Business and (z) the Financial Information is presented on a carve-out basis and as set forth in Section 3.4(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and may differ materially from financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, including in that it does not include all year-end adjustments, audit adjustments, carve-out adjustments or footnote disclosures and other presentation items required for the presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.

(b) The Closing Assumed Liabilities do not, and as of the RTP Fab Transfer Date the RTP Fab Assumed Liabilities will not, include any Liabilities that would be required by GAAP to be presented on the face of a balance sheet, other than (i) Liabilities that are reflected on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 26, 2023 included in the Financial Information, if any, the “Latest Seller Balance Sheet”), (ii) Liabilities of the type reflected on the Latest Seller Balance Sheet that have arisen after the date of the Latest Seller Balance Sheet in the Ordinary Course of Business, (iii) Liabilities resulting from the obligations of a Seller Entity under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (iv) Liabilities pursuant to any Contract to which a Seller Entity is a party which did not result from any default, tort or breach of contract, (v) Liabilities that are included as current liabilities in the final Closing Net Working Capital Amount, and (vi) other Liabilities that would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Business.

(c) The Files and Records of each Seller Entity (to the extent related to the Business) have been maintained in all material respects in accordance with the Files and Records and policies of the Seller Entities. Each Seller Entity (to the extent related to the Business) maintains materially accurate books of account and other financial records reflecting its assets and liabilities and maintains proper and effective internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance (i) that transactions are executed with management’s authorization, (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements of the Business and to maintain accountability for the assets of the Business in accordance with GAAP, (iii) that access to the assets of the Business is permitted only in accordance with management’s authorization and (iv) regarding unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets of the Business. Each Seller Entity maintains effective controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that all material information concerning the Business is made known on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information.

(d) This Section 3.4 is qualified by the fact that the Business has not operated as a separate “stand alone” entity within the Seller; in certain operational areas, the Business is dependent upon centralized functional activities of the Seller, the costs of which have not been historically allocated to the Business; and the Financial Information are presented on a carve-out basis and may differ materially from financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, in that they do not include all year-end adjustments, audit adjustments, carve-out adjustments, or footnote disclosures and other presentation items required for the presentation of financial statement in conformity with GAAP. As a result, the

-35-

Business has been allocated certain internal charges and credits for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Information. Such allocations of charges and credits have been made in good faith with the intent of accurately presenting to the extent practicable the financial condition and results of operations of the Business for the time periods covered by the Financial Information, but may not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted from arms-length transactions or the actual costs that would be incurred if the Business operated as an independent enterprise.

Section 3.5 Absence of Certain Changes. From the date of the Latest Seller Balance Sheet through the date hereof, the (i) Business has been conducted in the Ordinary Course of Business in all material respects and (ii) there has not been any Seller Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, since the date of the Latest Seller Balance Sheet through the date hereof, no Seller Entity (with respect to the Business) has:

(a) amended its charter, bylaws or other organizational documents in a manner that reasonably would be expected to have an adverse effect on the Transactions;

(b) permitted or allowed any of the Closing Acquired Assets to be subjected to any Liens other than Permitted Liens or Liens that will be released prior to or in connection with Closing;

(c) changed its accounting methods, principles or practices, except insofar as required by a generally applicable change in GAAP or any other local accounting standards applicable to any Seller Entity;

(d) hired or engaged any Business Employee or independent contractor whose base compensation is at least $[***] annually or terminated the employment or engagement of any person who, if employed or engaged on the date hereof, would constitute a Business Employee or independent contractor whose base compensation is at least $[***] annually;

(e) amended in any material respect, terminated or canceled, or waived any material right under, any Material Business Contract other than in the Ordinary Course of Business;

(f) made capital expenditures or commitments or acquired any property, plant and equipment constituting Acquired Assets in each case for an aggregate cost in excess of $[***];

The Buyer is presently in compliance with all applicable laws relating to the privacy and security of the Buyer IT Systems and the Buyer Data.

Section 4.11 Financing. The Buyer has, and as of the Closing Date will have, sufficient cash on hand, available lines of creditor or other sources of immediately available funds to enable it to pay the Closing Payment in full and to operate the Buyer business (including the Business) for a period of at least twelve (12) months following the Closing.

Except as required or permitted by this Agreement, the Parties shall not knowingly take any action, or knowingly refrain from taking any action, the effect of which would be to materially delay or materially impede the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transactions; provided that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or other similar transaction of a Party as a whole. Any filing fees associated with the Regulatory Approvals shall be paid (or reimbursed to the Seller, as applicable) by the Buyer.

(c) The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, agrees (i) not to withdraw or refile any filing or extend any waiting period with respect to any Regulatory Approval or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the Transactions, except with the prior written consent of the other Party (except for a single pull and refiling of the HSR filing within two days of pulling the HSR filing), (ii) subject to applicable Law, to furnish to the other Party as promptly as reasonably practicable all information required for any application or other filing to be made by the other Party pursuant to any applicable Law in connection with any Regulatory Approval, (iii) to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries received from, and supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information or documentation that may be requested by, the DOJ, the FTC, or any other Governmental Entity in respect of any Regulatory Approval, this Agreement or the Transactions, (iv) to promptly notify the other Party of any material communication between that Party and any Governmental Entity in respect of any Regulatory Approval or any inquiry or Action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions and of any material communication received or given in connection with any Action, whether pending or threatened, by a private party relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, (v) subject to applicable Law, to discuss with and permit the other Party (and its counsel) to review in advance, and consider in good faith the other Party’s reasonable comments in connection with, any filing in connection with any Regulatory Approval or communication to any Governmental Entity or, in connection with any Action by a private party, to any other Person, relating to any Regulatory Approval, inquiry or Action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, (vi) to not participate or agree to participate in any substantive meeting, telephone call or discussion with any Governmental Entity or other Person in respect of any Regulatory Approval, inquiry or Action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions without consulting with the other Party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, giving the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, telephone call or discussion, (vii) subject to applicable Law, to furnish the other Party promptly with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications between them and their Affiliates on the one

The Parties may, as they deem advisable, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other Party pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and shall not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the disclosing Party. Any filing fees associated with the Regulatory Approvals shall be paid (or reimbursed to the Seller, as applicable) by the Buyer.

(d) The Buyer’s reasonable best efforts shall not require it to propose, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate Order, letter of assurance, mitigation agreement or otherwise, the sale, divesture, disposition or license, or to otherwise take or commit to take any actions that after the Closing Date would limit the Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ freedom of action, ownership or control with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, one or more of the assets, properties, businesses, product lines or services of the Buyer, or the Acquired Assets after giving effect to the Transactions, or any interest or interests therein to the extent and in the manner required by any Governmental Entity as a condition to granting any Regulatory Approval. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Seller’s obligations under this Section 5.2 shall not include any obligation on the part of the Seller or any of its Affiliates to (i) agree to sell, divest, license, dispose of or hold separate any assets or businesses, or otherwise take or commit to take any action that could limit its freedom with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its businesses, product lines or assets, or (ii) agree to any requirement providing for the expenditure of money to a third party (other than the Seller’s legal and other advisors, and related vendor costs), or (iii) litigate, pursue or defend against any Action (including any temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) by a Governmental Entity challenging the Transactions based upon the HSR Act or any other Law.

Section 5.3 Operation and Preservation of Business. Except as required by Law or as set forth on Section 5.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the Seller shall not, and shall cause the other Seller Entities not to, engage in any practice, take any action or enter into any agreement or transaction that, if taken prior to the date hereof, would be described in Section 3.5, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Seller shall, and shall cause each of the other Seller Entities to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain its Files and Records, purchase inventory, perform all required maintenance and repairs necessary to maintain the Acquired Assets in good operating condition (subject to normal wear and tear) and otherwise operate the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business in all material respects, (ii) maintain and preserve its existing relationships and goodwill with suppliers, customers, licensors, employees, officers and others having business dealings with the Business, and (iii) maintain and preserve the Acquired Assets, and (iv)

-60-

The Seller shall not, and shall cause the other Seller Entities not to, issue, sell, lease, sublease, transfer, pledge, assign or create any Lien (including by virtue of terminating, assigning, pledging, mortgaging, encumbering, amending or modifying in any material respect, or failing to exercise any renewal or extension option with respect to any Leased Real Property), other than Permitted Liens or Liens that will be released at or prior to the Closing, on any Leased Real Property or sell, lease, sublease or otherwise transfer the Leased Real Property.

Section 5.4 Exclusivity.

(a) The Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the Seller Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, seek, entertain, encourage, facilitate, endorse or otherwise support any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Transaction, or enter into discussions or negotiate with any Person in furtherance of such an inquiry, proposal or offer to obtain a Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Competing Transaction (including by furnishing non-public information concerning the Business or the Acquired Assets in connection with the foregoing).

(b) The Seller shall promptly notify any party with which discussions or negotiations of the nature described in Section 5.4(a) are pending as of the date hereof that the Seller is terminating such discussions or negotiations. If the Seller or any Seller Representative receives any inquiry, proposal or offer of the nature described in Section 5.4(a), the Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days after such receipt, notify the Buyer of such inquiry, proposal or offer and disclose to the Buyer the material terms thereof.

Section 5.5 Full Access and Cooperation; Confidentiality.

(a) The Seller will permit the Buyer and the Buyer Representatives to have reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Seller Entities, to all premises, (including the Leased Real Property and Licensed Real Property), properties, personnel, Files and Records (including Tax records and Patent application files), Contracts and documents of or to the extent pertaining to the Business or any of the Acquired Assets and permit the Buyer and the Buyer Representatives to make such copies and inspections thereof as may reasonably be requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Seller may defer providing access to Assigned Technology (as defined in the IPALA) that the Seller in its sole discretion deems particularly sensitive until after the Closing when such delivery, subject to applicable Laws, shall be accomplished in conjunction with the Parties’ technology transfer thereunder, and (ii) the Seller shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure could waive the attorney-client privilege of any Seller Entity or contravene any Law provided, however, that the Seller shall, and shall cause the other Seller Entities to, use commercially reasonable efforts to enable such information to be disclosed, furnished or made available to the Buyer, if and as applicable, so that the Buyer may have access to such information without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, including by entering into a customary joint defense agreement or common interest agreement with the Buyer.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Buyer nor any of the Buyer Representatives shall have access to (i) personnel records of the Business Employees, including records relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories, individual employee benefit information

-61-

or other information which in the Seller’s opinion is sensitive or the disclosure of which could subject the Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives to risk of Liability, (ii) any real property of the Seller or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries for purposes of conducting any environmental sampling or testing of any environmental media (including soil, sediment, groundwater, soil vapor, ambient air, and building material), (iii) any information to the extent relating to the Retained Businesses, the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities, in each case except to the extent the same relates to the Business, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities or (iv) any Tax Return for any Seller Entity or any affiliated group of which any Seller Entity is a member or any work papers related thereto.

(c) The Seller shall have the right to have one or more Seller Representatives present at all times during any inspection, interview or examination pursuant to this Section 5.5. The Buyer shall hold in confidence all information provided to it by the Seller or any of its Affiliates or any Seller Representative, whether before or after the date hereof, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the non-disclosure and restricted use agreement, dated August 1, 2022 (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time), between the Buyer (or an Affiliate of the Buyer) and the Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and such information shall not be used by the Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives, other than in connection with the Transactions or as otherwise expressly permitted by the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Buyer shall not contact, and shall prohibit their Affiliates from contacting, any Business Employees or any vendors or suppliers to, or customers, subcontractors or prime contractors of, the Seller Entities regarding the Business, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the Transactions.

Section 5.6 Notice of Developments.

(a) The Seller will give prompt written notice to the Buyer of (a) any fact, action, circumstance, breach or event that would be reasonably likely to result in, or does result in, a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, such that the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) would be reasonably unlikely; (b) the occurrence of any material damage to or loss or destruction of any Acquired Asset with a net book value in excess of $[***]; (c) any breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement such that the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 8.2(b) would be reasonably unlikely; or (d) the occurrence of, or the receipt of any written notice threatening, any event or condition which would result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Buyer will give prompt written notice to the Seller of (a) any fact, action, circumstance, breach or event that would be reasonably likely to result in, or does result in, a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, such that the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) would be reasonably unlikely; (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement such that the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 8.3(b) would be reasonably unlikely; or (c) the occurrence of, or the receipt of any written notice threatening, any event or condition which would result in a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.7 Ancillary Agreements.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in any event within [***] of the date hereof, the Seller will provide the Buyer with initial drafts of each of the Deferred Ancillary Agreements (other than the RTP Fab Lease Agreement, the initial draft of which Buyer will provide to Seller within such [***] period) reflecting the terms set forth in each corresponding Exhibit. Beginning promptly thereafter, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to reach final forms of the Deferred Ancillary Agreements on mutually acceptable terms and conditions conforming to and consistent with those

-62-

specified in each corresponding Exhibit. The Parties will use commercially reasonably efforts to complete the Deferred Ancillary Agreements as soon as reasonably practicable following delivery of initial drafts by the Seller.

(b) Should the Parties not finalize a particular Deferred Ancillary Agreement within [***] after delivery of the initial draft thereof by the Seller, and unless such period is extended by the written agreement of the Parties, then the Parties shall escalate negotiation of the matters in the applicable Deferred Ancillary Agreement as to which the Parties have not yet reached agreement (collectively, the “Open Matters”) to their respective Chief Executive Officers, who shall meet within [***] of receipt of notice of escalation of the Open Matters and negotiate reasonably and in good faith. If after [***] following their initial meeting, the Chief Executive Officers are unable to reach an agreement, then either the Seller or the Buyer Parties, following the end of such period, may refer the Open Matters to arbitration by submitting a written notice of such request to the other Party. The matters (if any) in the applicable Deferred Ancillary Agreement that the Parties have agreed in writing as being resolved prior to such notice shall be referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters.” Such arbitration shall be “baseball” arbitration pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Promptly following the receipt of such notice, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after such date, the Parties will meet and discuss in good faith the selection and engagement of and select and engage one arbitrator mutually agreed to by the Parties (or if they cannot agree on such an arbitrator, an arbitrator proposed by the arbitrator proposed by the Seller and the arbitrator proposed by the Buyer) for arbitration of the Open Matters. The Parties agree that each proposed or selected arbitrator must be neutral and independent of the Parties and their respective Affiliates and must be an experienced attorney familiar with semiconductor supply arrangements and practicing with a nationally recognized law firm. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the same individual will serve as the arbitrator to determine the final forms of each of the Deferred Ancillary Agreements, if and as necessary.

(ii) Within five (5) Business Days after the arbitrator is engaged with respect to the applicable Deferred Ancillary Agreement, each of the Seller and the Buyer Parties will submit to the arbitrator its proposed final form for the applicable Deferred Ancillary Agreement (“Proposed Terms”), together with any written commentary in support thereof. The Parties will also provide the arbitrator a copy of this Agreement and the Resolved Matters (if any). Promptly upon receipt of both initial sets of Proposed Terms from the Seller and the Buyer Parties, the arbitrator will concurrently deliver both initial sets of Proposed Terms to each of the Seller and the Buyer Parties. Within ten (10) Business Days after such delivery by the arbitrator, each of the Seller and the Buyer Parties may submit to the arbitrator a written rebuttal of the Proposed Terms of the other Party one time and may also submit to the arbitrator an amended set of its own Proposed Terms one time. For the avoidance of doubt, if either of the Seller or the Buyer Parties does not timely submit an amended set of its own Proposed Terms, then the initial set of Proposed Terms submitted by such Party shall be deemed the final set of Proposed Terms of such Party. Neither Party may have any other communications (either written or oral) with the arbitrator other than for the sole purpose of engaging the arbitrator or as expressly permitted herein; provided, however, that the arbitrator may initiate and hold a joint meeting with the Seller and the Buyer Parties to discuss any matter that, in the arbitrator’s reasonable discretion, is necessary or convenient in furtherance of carrying out the remainder of the arbitration process provided for in this Agreement with respect to the applicable Deferred Ancillary Agreement. The arbitrator shall not deliver any submitted amended set of Proposed Terms to, or confirm or deny the submission of an amended set of Proposed Terms by, any of the Parties or otherwise, except in accordance with carrying out the remainder of the arbitration process provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, that, once further submissions of sets of Proposed Terms are no longer

-63-

permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the arbitrator will promptly deliver both final sets of Proposed Terms to each of the Seller and the Buyer Parties.

(iii) Within ten (10) Business Days after the submission (or deemed submission) of both final sets of Proposed Terms, the arbitrator will select either final set of Proposed Terms, in full and without modification, provided by one of the Parties that, in his or her professional opinion, is most consistent, taken as a whole together with the Resolved Matters, with (y) the agreed principles set forth in this Agreement (including in the corresponding Exhibit) and, otherwise, (z) the commercially reasonable and customary terms for transactions of a similar nature, taking into account the Parties’ relative bargaining power. For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitrator shall prioritize the agreed principles set forth in this Agreement (including in the corresponding Exhibit) in making his or her selection. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and unappealable, and shall definitively establish the final form of the applicable Deferred Ancillary Agreement. For clarity, the arbitrator must select as the only method to resolve all of the matters at issue one of the two final sets of Proposed Terms, and may not combine elements of the two final sets of Proposed Terms (or any of the initial sets of Proposed Terms) or award any other relief or take any other action. If either the Seller or the Buyer Parties fail to submit an initial set of Proposed Terms within the time frame set forth above, then the arbitrator shall select the initial set of Proposed Terms of the other Buyer Parties or the Seller, respectively, which shall definitively establish the terms and conditions of the applicable Deferred Ancillary Agreement.

(c) The fees and expenses of the arbitrator with respect to each applicable Deferred Ancillary Agreement will be paid by the Party whose Proposed Terms are not selected by the arbitrator.

Section 5.8 IT Integration and Transition Activities. The Seller shall assist and cooperate with the Buyer in good faith to complete the IT integration and transition milestones set forth on Schedule 5.8 prior to the Closing; provided, however, the Seller shall not be required to pay any compensation or other out-of-pocket costs to any third party in connection with its obligation under this Section 5.8.

ARTICLE VI

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) For a period of [***] following the Closing Date, the Seller shall, and the Seller shall cause its Subsidiaries (together with the Seller, the “Seller Restricted Parties”) not to, anywhere that any Seller Entity conducts, or is actively planning to conduct, all or any portion of the Business or where any customers or employees of the Business are located (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is anywhere in the world since the Seller’s business is global), directly or indirectly, whether or not alone or in association or in connection with or on behalf of any Person now existing or hereafter created (other than the Buyer and its Affiliates), whether or not for its own account or for the benefit of others (other than the Buyer and its controlled Affiliates) engage in, or undertake any material steps in planning to engage in, the Business or invest in, consult for, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any Person engaged in the Business; provided, however, that (i) nothing in Section 6.1 shall limit any Seller Restricted Party from engaging in, or undertaking any material steps in planning to engage in, any Retained Business or investing in, consulting for, owning, managing, operating, controlling or participating in the ownership, management, operation or control of any Person engaged in any Retained Business and (ii) a Seller Restricted Party may passively invest in the securities of any such Person (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such Person) if the Seller Restricted Party

-64-

does not beneficially own (as defined Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) in excess of five percent (5%) of the outstanding equity of such Person. The foregoing shall not prevent any of the following: (A) (x) a Seller Restricted Party from being acquired pursuant to a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or other similar transaction, (y) the acquisition by any Person of some, a majority or all of a Seller Restricted Party’s issued and outstanding voting equity interests, or (z) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of some, all or substantially all of the Seller’s direct or indirect assets; and, for the avoidance of doubt, in each case ((x), (y) and (z)), this provision shall not restrict such acquiring Person or its Affiliates from engaging in the Business; (B) the acquisition by a Seller Entity, pursuant to a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or other similar transaction, of (i) some, a majority or all of a Person’s issued and outstanding voting equity interests or (ii) all or substantially all of a Person’s assets, if such Person engages in the Business, so long as (w) the principal purpose of such acquisition is not to engage in the Business or otherwise contravene the prohibitions set forth in this Section 6.1, (x) the acquired Person is not primarily engaged in the Business, and (y) (1) the revenues of such Person (or, in the event of multiple acquisitions by Seller Entities, all the revenues of such Persons in the aggregate) for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such acquisition derived from the Business was less than $[***] or (2) the Seller or its relevant Affiliate either ceases conducting such Business within [***] after the acquisition thereof or enters into a definitive agreement to divest such Business within [***] after the acquisition thereof (for clarity, such time periods shall be measured beginning from the completion of the acquisition that causes the revenue threshold to be exceeded during the relevant twelve (12) month period), with such divestiture closing within a commercially reasonable time period thereafter; or (C) the performance under any Transaction Document by any applicable Seller Restricted Party. Without limiting the remedies available to the Buyer, the Seller agrees that damages at Law would be an insufficient remedy in the event of breach of this Section 6.1(a) by any Seller Restricted Party and that the Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such breach without the necessity of posting a bond or other form of financial assurance.

(b) The Seller agrees that, during the [***] period following the Closing Date (or, solely with respect to the RTP Fab Transferred Employees, the [***] period following the RTP Fab Transfer Date) (each period, as applicable, the “Restricted Period”), it will not, and it will cause each other Seller Restricted Party not to, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or consulting, encourage the resignation of, enter into any employment or consulting agreement (conditional or otherwise) with or employ or engage as a consultant any Transferred Employee with an annual salary above $[***], except that the Seller Restricted Parties shall not be precluded from hiring any Transferred Employee who has ceased to be employed by the Buyer or its Affiliates at least [***] prior to such hiring, provided such hiring is consistent with such employee’s contractual obligations to the Buyer or its Affiliates. The placing of an advertisement of a position by a Seller Restricted Party to members of the public generally, such as through newspapers, radio or television, or a general mass mailing to the public, shall not by itself constitute a breach of this Section 6.1(b) provided such general methods of solicitation are not specifically directed to any particular Transferred Employee.

(c) Other than in accordance with Article VII, the Buyer agrees that, during the Restricted Period, it will not, and it will cause each of its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the Seller, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or consulting or enter into any employment or consulting agreement (conditional or otherwise) with or employ any employee of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, except that the Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be precluded from hiring an employee who has been terminated by the Seller or its Affiliates, (x) due to a termination by the Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, at least [***] prior to such hiring or (y) due to a voluntary termination by such employee at least [***] prior to such hiring, provided such hiring is consistent with such employee’s contractual obligations to the Seller and its Affiliates. The placing of an advertisement of a position by a Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer to members of the public generally, such as through newspapers, radio or television, or a general mass mailing to the public shall not by itself constitute a breach of this Section

-65-

6.1(c) provided such general methods of solicitation are not specifically directed to any particular employee of the Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(d) In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.1, in addition and not in the alternative to any other remedies available to it, each Party shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond, to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, including by obtaining a temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction restraining such breach without the necessity of posting a bond or other form of financial assurance. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting any Party from pursuing any other remedy available to it for such breach or threatened breach. In the event of an Action involving this Section 6.1, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any such Action, including any appeal therefrom. The existence of any Action by any Party or any of its Affiliates against any other Party or any of its Affiliates, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by each Party of the provisions of this Section 6.1, which such this Section 6.1 will be enforceable notwithstanding the existence of any breach of this Agreement by any Party or its Affiliates. In addition, the Restricted Period applicable to a Party in this Section 6.1 shall be tolled, and shall not run, until such breach or violation is cured if a court determines that any Party or its Affiliates violated the terms of this Section 6.1.

(e) The nature and scope of this Section 6.1 have been carefully considered by the Parties. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the duration, scope and geographic areas applicable to such provisions are fair, reasonable and necessary and that adequate compensation has been received by each Party for such obligations. If any of the provisions of this Section 6.1 are held to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, as to such jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by Law or, if such provision cannot be modified as a matter of Law, such provision shall be ineffective solely to the extent of its unenforceability in such jurisdiction, without affecting the remaining provisions of this Section 6.1 in such jurisdiction, or affecting in any other jurisdiction the validity or enforceability of such provision or of this Section 6.1.

Section 6.2 Press Releases and Public Announcements. Prior to Closing, except as may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any national securities exchange, in each case upon the advice of counsel, none of the Seller, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public disclosure with respect to the Transactions without the prior written consent of the Buyer and the Seller, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that no such consent shall be required in connection with any press release, announcement or other disclosure by a Party or an Affiliate of a Party if the contents of such press release, announcement or other disclosure that relate to the Transactions are limited to information that previously has been publicly disclosed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except in cases of any press release, announcement or other disclosure for which consent of the other Party is not required pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Buyer and the Seller shall furnish the other with drafts and provide reasonable opportunity for comment. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall consult in good faith with the other Party on the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to be redacted in any filings that may be made by any Party or any of their respective Affiliates with the SEC or as otherwise required by Law, including any copy of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document that will be filed with the SEC via EDGAR. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Seller and the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the other Party will file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC via EDGAR if required by Law.

(a) Promptly after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify, or cause to be notified, on a mutually agreed basis with the Seller, counterparties to the Closing Assumed Contracts that such Contracts have been assigned by the applicable Seller Entity to the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer, and the Seller shall provide, at the [***] expense, commercially reasonable assistance reasonably requested by the Buyer in connection therewith. Promptly, and in any event within [***] following the Closing, the Buyer shall cease all usage of the Wolfspeed Name anywhere in the world, except as otherwise permitted herein. Subject to such [***] grace period, and except as otherwise permitted herein, following the Closing, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, use the Wolfspeed Name anywhere in the world.

During the [***] grace period following the Closing, the Buyer may use the Wolfspeed Name in connection with the use, distribution, display, performance and other exploitation of any marketing or promotional videos relating to the Business that include the Wolfspeed Name and exist as of the Closing Date. Any use, distribution, display, performance and other exploitation of the Wolfspeed Name permitted under this Section 6.3 shall be consistent in all respects with the Seller’s conduct of the same prior to the Closing Date and consistent with all style and quality standards requested by the Seller (and the Seller shall have reasonable rights to inspect the Buyer’s conduct and activities with respect to same).

(b) The Seller shall promptly remit (or cause to be remitted) to the Buyer all payments and invoices received after the Closing Date and the RTP Fab Transfer Date, as applicable, to the extent related to the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, and the Buyer shall promptly remit (or cause to be remitted) to the Seller all payments and invoices received after the Closing Date to the extent related to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities.

If required by applicable Law, the other party will join, and will cause its Affiliates to join, in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation following review and approval of such Tax Returns and other documentation by the Seller. The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable efforts to minimize Transfer Taxes, including, to the extent applicable and permissible, delivery by the Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of Transfer Taxes applicable to the sale of the RTP Fab Acquired Assets, on or before the RTP Fab Transfer Date) of (i) North Carolina Form E-595E certifying that any inventory located in North Carolina is being purchased by the Buyer for resale and that the purchase of equipment is for manufacturing, (ii) California Form CDTFA-230, General Resale Certificate, certifying that any inventory located in California is being purchased by the Buyer for resale, (iii) California Form CDTFA-230-M, Partial Exemption Certificate for Manufacturing and Research & Development Equipment, certifying that certain qualified tangible personal property located in California

(b) All real and personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Closing Acquired Assets (“Closing Property Taxes”) for any Closing Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the portion of such Closing Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of such Closing Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date based on the relative numbers of days in such portions of such Closing Straddle Period. The Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay the amount of such Closing Property Taxes apportioned to the portion of the applicable Closing Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, and the Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay the amount of such Closing Property Taxes apportioned to the portion of the applicable Closing Straddle Period beginning on the date after the Closing Date; provided that positive adjustments to the Closing Payment contemplated by subclause (i) of clause (b) of the definition of “Closing Payment” shall be treated as payments by the Buyer of Closing Property Taxes for which it is responsible; and provided further that negative adjustments to the Closing Payment contemplated by subclause (ii) of clause (b) of the definition of “Closing Payment” shall be treated as payments by the Seller of Closing Property Taxes for which it is responsible and the Buyer shall pay the Seller’s share of such Closing Property Taxes to the extent of such negative adjustment.

(c) All real and personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the RTP Fab Acquired Assets (“RTP Fab Property Taxes”) for any RTP Fab Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the portion of such RTP Fab Straddle Period ending on the RTP Fab Transfer Date and the portion of such RTP Fab Straddle Period beginning on the day after the RTP Fab Transfer Date based on the relative numbers of days in such portions of such RTP Fab Straddle Period. The Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay the amount of such RTP Fab Property Taxes apportioned to the portion of the applicable RTP Fab Straddle Period ending on the RTP Fab Transfer Date, and the Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay the amount of such RTP Fab Property Taxes apportioned to the portion of the applicable RTP Fab Straddle Period beginning on the date after the RTP Fab Transfer Date.

(d) Except to the extent included in the determination of the Closing Payment, to the extent that the Seller pays or has paid any amounts for which the Buyer is responsible under Section 6.4(a), Section 6.4(b) or Section 6.4(c), the Buyer shall reimburse the Seller within thirty (30) days after the Seller’s written request for reimbursement (which written request shall include such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate such amount to be reimbursed).

(e) The Buyer and the Seller will cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by either of them, in connection with the filing and preparation of Tax Returns relating to the Acquired Assets or the Business for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, any Closing Straddle Period and any RTP Fab Straddle Period, and any Audit related thereto. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Audit and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, such cooperation shall also include promptly forwarding copies of notices and forms or other communication received from or sent to any Governmental Entity which relate to Tax Returns for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, any Closing Straddle Period or any RTP Fab Straddle Period and providing copies of all relevant Tax Returns for any such period which either Party may possess.

(a) If at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of the Transaction Documents and the Transactions, each Party shall take (or cause to be taken) such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party reasonably may request, all at the requesting Party’s cost and expense (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article X). Prior to and following the Closing, each Party agrees to (and to cause its Affiliates to) cooperate with the other Party (and its Affiliates) and to take such actions and execute such further instruments, documents and agreements, and to give such further written assurances, that may be reasonably requested by the other Party to evidence and reflect better the Transactions and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Acquired Assets will be delivered to the Buyer “where is,” and except as provided in this Section 6.6(b) the Seller shall have no obligation to decommission or move any of the Acquired Assets for pickup by the Buyer. Upon the written request of the Buyer, the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Acquired Assets specified by the Buyer available for pickup by the Buyer, it being acknowledged and agreed that (i) the Acquired Assets at the Leased Real Property or the RTP Fab shall remain at the Leased Real Property or RTP Fab, as applicable, and the Seller shall have no obligation to move or otherwise make available for pickup any such Acquired Assets, (ii) any assets to be picked up by the Buyer or the Buyer’s common carrier shall be picked up at the applicable facilities where such Acquired Assets are located on the Closing Date (F.O.B. the Seller Entities’ applicable facilities where such Acquired Assets are located on the Closing Date), and (iii) the Buyer shall pay all costs of and bear all risks associated with the physical removal, decommissioning, removal, moving, shipping and transfer of any Acquired Assets to the Buyer; provided that the Parties agree to cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner with respect to such removal, shipping, transfer and move.

(b) The Seller shall (i) at its own expense, preserve and keep the Files and Records constituting Excluded Assets, to the extent relating to the Business, Acquired Assets, Licensed Intellectual Property or Assumed Liabilities, for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Closing Date, or for any longer periods as may be required by any Governmental Entity or as may be made prudent by the circumstances of any ongoing Action, (ii) at the [***] expense, provide the Buyer and the Buyer Representatives with reasonable access to (and the right to make copies of) the foregoing upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours during such period, and (iii) at the [***] expense, furnish to the Buyer such assistance relating to the Acquired Assets, Licensed Intellectual Property and Assumed Liabilities as is reasonably necessary for financial reporting and accounting matters, the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns, or the defense of any Audit, assessment or Action or providing any information in response to a requirement or request of any Governmental Entity or securities exchange or market; provided that the Seller may delete certain Files and Records relating to periods prior to the Closing in accordance with the Seller’s document retention policy (which document retention policy, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to e-mails (unless applicable Law mandates otherwise) contemplates deletion on a rolling basis and, with respect to other Files and Records, contemplates deletion in accordance with applicable Law) if complete copies of such Files and Records are maintained by the Seller or have previously been provided to the Buyer.

(c) In the event and for so long as any Party is actively contesting or defending against any Action in connection with (i) the completion or performance of the Transactions or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Business, the Closing Acquired Assets, or the Closing Assumed Liabilities or on or prior to the RTP Fab Transfer Date involving the RTP Fab Acquired Assets or the RTP Fab Assumed Liabilities, the Seller and the Buyer will reasonably cooperate with such Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make reasonably available the Buyer Representatives, and provide such testimony and reasonable access to its Files and Records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2 and unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article X).

-70-

(the “Pre-Closing Occurrences”), (i) the Buyer shall promptly give notice to the Seller, and (ii) at the Buyer’s request the Seller and its Affiliates shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly report any and all Pre-Closing Occurrences and collect any amounts payable under any relevant insurance policies in connection therewith and (B) remit such amounts, if any (calculated net of any deductibles and collection costs incurred in collecting such recovery), to the Buyer promptly following receipt thereof.

(b) With respect to matters as to which the Acquired Assets include rights under the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies under Section 2.1(a)(vi)(B), upon the Buyer’s written request, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall and shall cause its Affiliates to make claims under such policies to the extent such coverage is available under such policies and any net insurance proceeds received with respect thereto shall be promptly delivered to the Buyer as provided therein. The Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all such claims; provided that the Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for its out-of-pocket costs incurred in such pursuit; and provided further that the Buyer shall exclusively bear (and the Seller shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse the Buyer for) the amount of any deductibles associated with claims made under such policies. The Buyer and the Seller shall (at the Buyer’s sole expense) cooperate in connection with making any such claim and each shall provide the other with all reasonably requested information necessary to make such claim.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.8 will (i) obligate the Seller or any of its Affiliates to maintain any insurance policy in effect, (ii) restrict the Seller or any of its Affiliates from amending any insurance policy or (iii) obligate the Seller or any of its Affiliates to commence or maintain any Action against any insurance carrier or otherwise.

Section 6.9 Business Federal Contracts. The following provisions shall apply to Business Federal Contracts in lieu of Section 2.5:

(a) Following the Closing, and in accordance with applicable Law, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Subpart 42.12, and applicable requirements of each Business Federal Contract, the Seller shall promptly (i) prepare and submit in writing a request to each responsible contracting officer or other responsible officer of the Governmental Entity party thereto or, for any Business Federal Contract of the type described in clause (b) or clause (c) of the definition of Federal Contract, of the counterparty thereto (each such counterparty or Governmental Entity, a “Counterparty”) to recognize the Buyer as the successor in interest to such Business Federal Contract, (ii) if required, enter into a novation agreement or, for Business Federal Contracts with a Counterparty other than the U.S. Government, an agreement of similar import (either, a “Novation Agreement”) in substantially the form contemplated by such regulations or other applicable Laws, and (iii) seek any consents required under any Business Federal Contract. In connection with the actual or requested assignment, transfer, or novation of any Business Federal Contract, the Buyer shall promptly prepare and provide to the Seller all documents and information within their care, custody or control required by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Seller or a Counterparty. The Buyer shall promptly obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required to promptly process, enter into, and complete all such Novation Agreements, and to take all other actions reasonably necessary to execute and complete such Novation Agreements.

(b) For any Business Federal Contract that requires consent to assign or novation and for which consent, novation or transition agreement is not received at or prior to the Closing, effective upon the Closing, the Buyer and the Seller shall enter into the subcontract agreement with commercially reasonable and customary terms for transactions of a similar nature (the “Subcontract Agreement”). In the event that any Governmental Entity affirmatively declines in writing to novate any such Business Federal Contract, the Seller, in accordance with the termination provisions of such Business Federal Contract, and so as not to cause an event of default or breach pursuant to such Business Federal Contract, shall provide prior written notice to the relevant Governmental Entity, informing such Governmental

-71-

Entity that the applicable Seller Entity wishes to discontinue performing thereunder, provided the Seller shall have provided the Buyer with prior written notice of its intent to issue a discontinuation notice to such Governmental Entity. The Seller shall cooperate reasonably, and at the Buyer’s expense, with any efforts by the Buyer to enter into a contract with such Governmental Entity. Should such proposed discontinuation be reasonably likely, or be indicated by the relevant Governmental Entity, to cause an event of default or breach pursuant to such Business Federal Contract, performance under such contract will continue under a subcontract agreement as permitted by the Governmental Entity until contract completion.

(c) In connection with any negotiations or other discussions which take place in connection with any Business Federal Contracts for which novation is required by Law or by the responsible contracting officer, and which require the Seller to provide performance or payment guarantees pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Sections 42.1204(i)(b)(8) and 42.1204(h)(3), the Buyer agrees to cooperate with the Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Governmental Entity to approve any novation, assignment, or transfer sought by Seller, and the Seller and the Buyer will agree to the novation terms and conditions as set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation 42.1204 for any Business Federal Contract. The Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Entities to the full extent permitted by applicable Law from and against any Liabilities arising from, or in connection with, any guaranty provided by the Seller Entities in the Novation Agreement. At the request of the Seller, the Buyer shall provide the Seller or any of its Affiliates with letters of credit in an amount equal to the Seller’s and any of its Affiliates’ entire potential Liability in respect of any such guaranty.

(d) The Buyer acknowledges that consents to assignment or novation of the Business Federal Contracts listed on Schedule 2.1(a)(iv), Schedule 2.1(b)(iii) or otherwise have not been as of the date hereof and may not be obtained, and that the Business Federal Contracts listed on Schedule 2.1(a)(iv), Schedule 2.1(b)(iii) or otherwise may be terminated by the Counterparty or approvals withheld by a Governmental Entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees that neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever arising out of or relating to, and neither the Buyer nor any Buyer Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification under Article X based on, the Seller’s or the Buyer’s inability to obtain any consents or approvals that may have been or may be required with respect to the Business Federal Contracts listed on Schedule 2.1(a)(iv), Schedule 2.1(b)(iii) or otherwise or otherwise in connection with the Transactions or any circumstance resulting therefrom (including the default under or acceleration or termination of any such contract as a result thereof, or because of any termination by the Counterparty thereto or approval withheld by a Governmental Entity) other than as a result of a breach of the representations contained in Section 3.3.

Not later than ninety (90) days prior to the RTP Fab Transfer Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the RTP Fab Transfer Notice, and no later than ten (10) days prior to the RTP Fab Transfer Date the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a final form of the RTP Fab Bill of Sale and the RTP Fab Lease Agreement. Upon receipt of the RTP Fab Transfer Notice, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the RTP Fab Transfer, including (i) duly executing the RTP Fab Bill of Sale and the RTP Fab Lease Agreement following their delivery by the Seller, (ii) identifying, at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed RTP Fab Transfer Date, the Business Employees at the RTP Fab to whom the Buyer intends to make offers of employment and otherwise complying with their obligations under Article VII, and (iii) taking all other actions reasonably requested by the Seller in connection with the foregoing.

(b) From the Closing Date until the RTP Fab Transfer Date, the Seller will have sole discretion regarding the operation of the RTP Fab as set forth in the MSA and the RELA; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Seller shall not:

(i) permit or allow any of the RTP Fab Acquired Assets to be subjected to any Liens other than Permitted Liens or Liens that will be released on or prior to the RTP Fab Transfer Date;

(ii) hire or engage any RTP Fab Business Employee whose base salary is at least $[***] annually or terminate the employment or engagement of any person (other than an RTP Fab Business Employee set forth on Schedule 7.1(a)(ii)) who, if employed or engaged on the date hereof, would constitute an RTP Fab Business Employee whose base salary is at least $[***] annually;

(vi) except as otherwise required by Law, negotiate, enter into, amend or extend any Collective Bargaining Agreement; or

(vii) except as required by Law, or as reasonably necessary to avoid a violation of Law, not transfer internally (including in response to a request for transfer by a RTP Fab Business Employee), or otherwise materially alter the duties and responsibilities of, any RTP Fab Business Employee in a manner that would affect whether such individual is or is not classified as an RTP Fab Business Employee, other than such actions that are taken in order to fill a vacancy in the Ordinary Course of Business.

(c) The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts prior to the RTP Fab Transfer Date to cooperate with the Buyer, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in the Buyer’s efforts to enter into a new Contract related to the Business with the counterparty to each RTP Fab Shared Contract on substantially the same terms as exist under such RTP Fab Shared Contract, in each case as of the RTP Fab Transfer Date (each, an “RTP Fab Replacement Contract”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) the Seller shall not be required to pay compensation to any third party, commence or participate in any Action or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, including any accommodation or arrangement to be secondarily liable or contingently liable under any Contract) to any third party in connection with the Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.12(c) and (ii) the completion of the RTP Fab Transfer shall not be conditioned upon or subject to the Buyer’s entry into any new RTP Fab Replacement Contract.

(d) In the event that the RTP Fab Transfer has not occurred by the RTP Fab Transfer Outside Date (an “RTP Fab Transfer Failure”), the Seller agrees to deliver, or cause its applicable Affiliate to deliver, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares (the “Buyer Clawback Shares”) to the Buyer as liquidated damages for the failure of the RTP Fab Transfer to be completed (the “Buyer Share Clawback”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer Share Clawback shall not occur, the Seller shall

-75-

have no obligation to deliver the Buyer Clawback Shares to the Buyer, and the Buyer Clawback Shares shall remain the sole property of the Seller or its applicable Affiliate, if the RTP Fab Transfer Failure is attributable, in whole or in part, to any breach by the Buyer of its obligations in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the Buyer’s failure to execute the RTP Fab Bill of Sale. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 6.12(d) are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. In particular, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Buyer Share Clawback is not a penalty, but rather liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Buyer in the circumstances in which the Buyer Share Clawback is applicable for the Damages associated with the failure of the RTP Fab Transfer to occur by the RTP Fab Transfer Outside Date.

(e) Until the RTP Fab Transfer Date, the Seller agrees that it will hold and will not, directly or indirectly, without the Buyer’s prior approval, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Shares, or otherwise make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale of the Shares (any such transaction, a “Transfer”); provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Seller from transferring any Shares to (A) any Affiliate of the Seller or (B) the Buyer; (ii) the disposition of Shares pursuant to (A) any merger, consolidation or similar transaction to which Buyer is a constituent corporation or (B) a bona fide tender offer or exchange offer made to all of the holders of Buyer Common Stock by a Person other than the Seller (or any of its Affiliates or any Person acting on behalf of or as part of a group or in concert with the Seller or any of its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Shares transferred in accordance with (i) of the immediately preceding sentence will continue to be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transfer restrictions and the right to claw back shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect on the RTP Fab Transfer Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Buyer Share Clawback be triggered on more than one occasion, and in circumstances where the Buyer Share Clawback has been triggered, the Buyer Share Clawback shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer and its Affiliates against the Seller and its Affiliates as a result of any failure to complete the RTP Fab Transfer by the RTP Fab Transfer Outside Date.

Section 6.13 RTP Fab Right of First Offer.

(a) If at any time beginning on the date of the Closing and extending until the last day of the “Lease Term” (as defined in the RTP Fab Lease Agreement but excluding any extensions thereof and including any early termination of the Lease Term subject to the RTP Fab Lease Agreement) (such period, the “ROFO Period”), the Seller shall desire to sell the premises leased pursuant to the RTP Fab Lease Agreement (the “RTP Fab Leased Premises”), the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a one-time right of first offer with respect to the RTP Fab Leased Premises such that the Seller shall first offer the RTP Fab Leased Premises to the Buyer (the “Right of First Offer”) by delivering to the Buyer a written notice specifying the purchase price and other substantive terms of such sale upon which the Seller desires to sell the RTP Fab Leased Premises (the “Sale Notice”).

Should no binding agreement for the purchase and sale of the RTP Fab Leased Premises to the Buyer be signed by the parties within [***] after the initial Sale Notice, the Buyer shall be deemed to have refused the Seller’s offer for the Buyer to purchase the RTP Fab Leased Premises and the Right of First Offer shall become null and void without further right of the Buyer and the Seller shall have no further obligations to the Buyer under this Section 6.13.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 6.13(a) to the contrary, the Right of First Offer will not apply to:

(c) This Right of First Offer is conditional upon the fulfillment of the following conditions: (i) the Buyer will not be at the relevant time in breach of its covenants under this Agreement in any material respect and such breach remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days and (ii) the Buyer will not be at the relevant time in material default in the performance of its obligations under the RTP Fab Lease Agreement (including any payment default) after the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods. In the event that any of such conditions are not satisfied at any time, the Right of First Offer to purchase will be deemed null and void and never to have existed and the Seller will have no obligation to the Buyer under the provisions of this Section 6.13 or of anything done in consequence or furtherance of such rights.

(d) The Right of First Offer may not be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise alienated to or inure to the benefit of anyone other than the Buyer or its Affiliates.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer’s rights under this Section 6.13 (including the Right of First Offer) shall terminate and be of no force or effect upon the expiration of the ROFO Period.

A Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person claiming indemnification hereunder (a “Claiming Party”) shall give to the Seller for claims under Section 10.1 or to the Buyer for claims under Section 10.2 (as applicable, the “Responding Party”) prompt written notice (such notice, the “Claim Notice”) of any good faith claim for indemnification (including as a result of a Third Party Claim, a “Claim”), but in any event (i) prior to the expiration of the applicable time period for such Claim as provided in Section 10.4(a) and (ii) if such Claim relates to the assertion against the Claiming Party of any claim or dispute by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), promptly after the assertion in writing by or on behalf of such third party of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no defect or delay in the information provided in the Claim Notice in accordance with the terms hereof (other than the failure to give notice prior to the expiration of the applicable time period for such Claim, as specified in Section 10.4(a)) shall affect a Claiming Party’s rights hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Responding Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Claim Notice

-86-

shall describe the nature of the Claim, the amount of Damages sought thereunder if then known, provision or provisions of this Agreement on which the Claim is based, and the Claiming Party shall otherwise make reasonably available to the Responding Party any other relevant information which is material to the Claim and which is in the possession of the Claiming Party. Unless the Claim described in the Claim Notice is contested by the Responding Party by written notice to the Claiming Party of the amount of the Claim that is contested, given within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”), the Claiming Party may recover such undisputed amount of the Claim described in the Claim Notice, if any, from the Responding Party, subject to the terms and limitations of this Article X. In the event the Responding Party timely delivers a Dispute Notice, (A) the Claiming Party shall have ten (10) days to respond thereto in a written statement and (B) the Claiming Party and the Responding Party shall attempt in good faith for ten (10) days after receipt the Responding Party’s receipt of a written response to resolve the objections set forth therein. If no settlement can be reached between the Claiming Party and the Responding Party with respect to a Claim after good faith negotiation during the ten (10)-day period after the Claiming Party’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, the Parties will no longer be bound by the dispute resolution procedures in this Section 10.3(a) and either Party may commence an Action to resolve such dispute. The Parties agree that all discussions, negotiations and other information exchanged between the Parties during the foregoing dispute resolution proceedings will be without prejudice to the legal position of a Party in any subsequent Action.

(b) Third Party Claims. If any Claim is a Third Party Claim, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) Within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, the Responding Party will, upon written notice thereof to the Claiming Party, have the right to assume control of the defense of the Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) with counsel of the Responding Party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party, subject to the following provisions:

(1) The Responding Party must conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently and must keep the Claiming Party reasonably informed of the status of the Third Party Claim.

(2) The Responding Party may not, except as set forth in Section 10.3(b)(iv) or Schedule 10.1(e), assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in which equitable relief is sought against the Claiming Party or any of its Subsidiaries. The Claiming Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in (but not control) the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Responding Party shall consider in good faith the views of the Claiming Party and its counsel.

(3) In conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Responding Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the Responding Party, does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Claiming Party, does not include any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Claiming Party or its Affiliates and includes the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Claiming Party of a release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

(4) Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall not, and shall cause the other Seller Entities not to, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, enter into any

-87-

settlement, consent to the entry of any judgment, or any other resolution with respect to any Third Party Claim relating to Intellectual Property (“Third Party Claim Disposition”), where such Third Party Claim Disposition involves the grant of license, grant of immunity, covenant not to sue, release, injunction or other rights to or encumbrance upon the Assigned Intellectual Property or Assigned Technology, except to the extent permitted in Schedule 10.1(d).

(ii) In the event that the Responding Party does not elect (or is not permitted by the terms of this Agreement) to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Claiming Party shall assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, provided that the Claiming Party must conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently and must keep the Responding Party reasonably informed of the status of the Third Party Claim. In conducting the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Claiming Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Responding Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(iii) Subject to the terms and limitations of this Article X, the indemnifiable fees and expenses of counsel to the Claiming Party incurred in connection with a Third Party Claim shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (A) the Claiming Party controls the defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.3(b) or (B) the Responding Party assumes control of such defense and the Claiming Party reasonably concludes upon advice of legal counsel that the Claiming Party and the Responding Party have material conflicting interests or material different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(iv) With respect to a Third Party Claim within the subject matter of Section 3.9, Section 2.4(l) or Section 10.1(d) brought no later than the [***] of the Closing Date in which equitable relief is sought against the Claiming Party or any of its Subsidiaries, the Responding Party shall, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, notify the Claiming Party whether it intends to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Responding Party notifies the Claiming Party that it intends to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Claiming Party shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice from the Responding Party, notify the Responding Party regarding whether the Claiming Party consents to the Responding Party’s assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim, and a failure of the Claiming Party to respond within such period shall be deemed consent. Any such notice shall reference and include the language in this Section 10.3(b)(iv). If the Claiming Party consents to the Responding Party’s assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Responding Party shall assume the defense of such Third Party Claim subject to the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement. If the Claiming Party does not consent to the Responding Party’s assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Responding Party shall be relieved of all Liability with respect to such Third Party Claim under this Article X and otherwise. If following the Responding Party’s assumption of the defense of such Claim the Claiming Party desires to assume the defense of such Claim in a circumstance other than as permitted under this Section 10.3, the Claiming Party shall have the right to do so, provided it notifies the Responding Party in writing of such election. If the Claiming Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim as described in the preceding sentence, the Responding Party shall be relieved of all Liability with respect to such Third Party Claim under this Article X and otherwise.

(c) Cooperation. The Buyer and the Seller as the Responding Party or the Claiming Party, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the defense of any Third Party Claim hereunder and shall make available to the Party defending such Third Party Claim such materials and assistance relating thereto as is reasonably requested by such Party.

For each Claim for indemnification hereunder regarding a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is properly made in writing in accordance with the terms hereof before the expiration of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is the basis for such Claim shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the final determination and satisfaction of such Claim.

Section 11.2 Counterparts. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signatures delivered by facsimile transmission or other electronic means (e.g., PDF or DocuSign) shall be binding for all purposes hereof.

Section 11.3 Entire Agreement; Nonassignability; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.3 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Buyer may, without the prior written consent of the Seller, assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to one or more of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the Buyer of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Except as set forth in Article X, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 11.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application

-93-

of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. Except as provided in Section 6.1, the Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 11.5 Amendment; Waiver. No amendment, modification, waiver, termination or discharge of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by the Parties from any provision hereof, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Parties (or by the Party providing the waiver, in the case of a waiver), and each such amendment, modification, waiver, termination or discharge shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay on the part of either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of either Party of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

Section 11.6 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Any and all claims, controversies, and causes of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws rule that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its assets and properties, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any state or federal court sitting in Delaware), and each of the Parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such Action and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any Action referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any Party anywhere in the world using any of the means described in Section 11.1, which the Parties agree shall constitute effective service of process. The Parties expressly disclaim the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

Section 11.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, whether or not the Transactions are completed, all costs and expenses arising out of, relating to or incidental to the discussion, evaluation, negotiation and documentation of this Agreement and the Transactions (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and financial advisors and accountants, if any) (in the aggregate, “Transaction Expenses”) shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses; provided, however, that, in the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the obligation of each Party to bear its own costs and expenses will be subject to any rights of such Party arising from a breach of this Agreement by the other Party prior to such termination.

Section 11.8 Equitable Remedies.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Section 10.6), the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Parties may otherwise have at law or in equity.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that any breach of this Agreement would not be adequately compensated by monetary Damages. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 11.8, including the limitations set forth herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall, in the event of any

-94-

breach or threatened breach by the Seller, on the one hand, or the Buyer, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, be entitled to obtain equitable relief, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other Party, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to enforce compliance with the covenants and agreements of the other Party under this Agreement. The Parties have specifically bargained for the right to specific performance of the obligations hereunder, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 11.8.

(c) Each Party hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance when available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by such Party (other than challenging the existence of a breach or threatened breach), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to enforce compliance with the covenants and agreements of such Party under this Agreement. A Party seeking an injunction or other Order or to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or other Order. Each Party further agrees that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 11.8, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such Party under this Agreement, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 11.8 shall require any Party to institute any Action for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any Action for) specific performance under this Section 11.8 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article IX, nor shall the commencement of any Action pursuant to this Section 11.8 or anything set forth in this Section 11.8 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article IX or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

Section 11.9 Currency. Whenever any payment hereunder is to be paid in “cash,” payment shall be made in the legal tender of the United States and the method for payment shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In the event there is any need to convert U.S. dollars into any foreign currency, or vice versa, for any purpose under this Agreement the exchange rate shall be that published by the Wall Street Journal on the date an obligation is paid (or if the Wall Street Journal is not published on such date, the first date thereafter on which the Wall Street Journal is published).

Section 11.10 Local Agreements.

(a) The Parties do not intend this Agreement to transfer title to any Acquired Assets or to cause the assumption of any Assumed Liabilities in any jurisdiction in which such transfer or assumption is required to be made pursuant to a Local Agreement, and any such Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities, as applicable, shall only be transferred by the applicable Local Agreement. The Local Agreements shall not provide for any additional rights or obligations of the Seller Entities, on the one hand, or the Buyer, on the other hand, not provided for in this Agreement. The Seller and the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in the preparation of such Local Agreements, which shall be prepared in a manner consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement with only such changes as necessary to comply with applicable Law of such foreign jurisdictions.

(b) To the extent that the provisions of a Local Agreement are inconsistent with or (except to the extent they implement a transfer in accordance with this Agreement) additional to the provisions of this Agreement:

(i) the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail; and

-95-

(ii) so far as permissible under applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction, the Seller and the Buyer shall cause the provisions of the relevant Local Agreement to be adjusted, to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement.
