(i) all Liabilities relating to the Transferred Assets or the Business to the extent arising from or relating to any event, circumstance or condition occurring on or after the Closing;

(ii) all Liabilities under the Assumed Contracts and the Shared Contracts, excluding any Liability or obligation relating to or arising out of such Assumed Contracts or Shared Contracts, as applicable, as a result of (A) any breach of, or performance required under, such Assumed Contracts or Shared Contracts occurring prior to the Closing, or (B) any violation of Law, breach of warranty, tort or infringement occurring prior to the Closing;

(iv) any obligation or liability under any intercompany accounts payable to or intercompany obligations among Seller and its Affiliates, including those relating to the Business, except as provided in the Ancillary Agreements;

(v) any Liability in respect of Indebtedness, except for accounts payable relating to Assumed Contracts to the extent reflected in the Closing Statement;

(vi) any of Seller’s liabilities or obligations for which Purchaser may become liable as a result of or in connection with the failure by Purchaser or Seller to comply with any bulk sales or bulk transfers laws or as a result of any “de facto merger” or “successor-in-interest” theories of liability, to the extent that any such noncompliance results in Purchaser assuming or becoming responsible for any Liability not set forth in Section 2.02(a); and

(vii) any of Seller’s Liabilities not otherwise referred to in this Section 2.02(b) to the extent relating to any Action arising out of or in connection with Seller’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ conduct of the Business prior to the Closing, in each case other than Assumed Liabilities.

For purposes of this Section 2.02(b), “Seller” shall be deemed to include all Affiliates and Subsidiaries of Seller and any predecessors to Seller and any Person with respect to which Seller is a successor-in-interest (including by operation of law, merger, liquidation, consolidation, assignment, assumption or otherwise). Seller hereby acknowledges that it is retaining the Retained Liabilities.

SECTION 2.03. Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in consideration of the transfer of the Shares and the Transferred Assets under Section 2.01, Purchaser on its own behalf and, as applicable, as agent for its designated Subsidiaries, shall (i) pay to Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries an amount of cash (the “Purchase Price”) equal to $175,000,000 (the “Base

Purchase Price”), as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.03(c) and Section 2.04(b), and (ii) assume and become obligated to pay, perform and discharge the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of cash to be paid as the Estimated Purchase Price by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.07, Seller shall prepare and deliver, not less than five Business Days before the Closing Date, a good faith estimate of the Working Capital as of the Closing (such estimated amount, the “Estimated Working Capital”), which shall be calculated based on financial information for the Business as of the most recent financial quarter for which such financial information is available.

(c) As used in this Agreement, the “Estimated Purchase Price” shall mean an amount equal to the Base Purchase Price plus an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment (which may be positive or negative).

(d) The Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated among the Shares and the Transferred Assets in accordance with their fair market values as mutually determined by Purchaser and Seller (the “Allocation Schedule”) for all Tax purposes, including for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (but except as provided below in this Section 2.03(d) or in Section 7.05). Seller shall prepare an Allocation Schedule within fifteen (15) calendar days after the final Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities have been finalized pursuant to Section 2.04. Purchaser agrees that, within fifteen (15) days of receiving the Allocation Schedule, it shall sign it and return an executed copy thereof to Seller. If, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule, Purchaser notifies Seller in writing that Purchaser objects to the allocation set forth therein, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute. In the event that Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) calendar days, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties within ten (10) calendar days, the Accounting Arbitrator selected pursuant to Section 2.04(d) shall resolve the disagreement within thirty (30) calendar days after being selected. In the event the Accounting Arbitrator concludes that Seller was correct as to a majority (by dollar amount) of the disputed items, then Purchaser shall pay the Accounting Arbitrator’s fees, costs and expenses. In the event the Accounting Arbitrator concludes that Purchaser was correct as to a majority (by dollar amount) of the disputed items, then Seller shall pay the Accounting Arbitrator’s fees, costs and expenses. For all Tax purposes (except with respect to Tax Returns the timely filing of which may not be extended, without the imposition of penalties, until after the Allocation Schedule has been finalized), Purchaser and Seller agree (i) to report, and cause their respective Subsidiaries to report, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent in all material respects with the final Allocation Schedule, which shall be binding upon Purchaser and Seller and their respective Subsidiaries and (ii) not to take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, Tax filing (including filings required under Section 1060 of the Code), audit, refund claim or otherwise.

SECTION 2.04. Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Seller has prepared the attached Exhibit E, which lists the current asset and current liability accounts of the Business that are relevant for the determination of the Working Capital and sets forth the accounting principles, methodologies and policies to be used in such determination (the “Calculation Principles”) as well as a format for the Working Capital calculation. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted after the Closing in accordance with this Section 2.04 based upon the Working Capital as of the Closing (the “Final Working Capital”).

For purposes hereof, the statement of the Final Working Capital, together with the calculation of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.04, shall be referred to as the “Closing Statement.”

(b) If (i) the Purchase Price Adjustment as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.04 (i) is a positive number, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Purchase Price Adjustment, or (ii) is a negative number, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the Purchase Price Adjustment, in either case by wire transfer, within three Business Days after the final determination of the Purchase Price Adjustment, of immediately available funds to an account designated by the party receiving payment, plus interest on such amount accrued from the Closing Date to the date of such payment at the prime rate applicable from time to time as announced by Citibank, N.A. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchase Price Adjustment as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.04 is equal to $0.00, no payment shall be made by or to either party pursuant to this Section 2.04 and the final Purchase Price shall be the same as the Estimated Purchase Price.

(c) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 75 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and deliver to Seller the Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 2.04. If Seller disagrees with the determination of the Closing Statement, Seller shall notify Purchaser of such disagreement within 30 days after delivery of the Closing Statement (such notice, the “Disagreement Notice”). The Disagreement Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, any disagreement with, and any requested adjustment to, the Closing Statement. Matters as to which Seller may submit disagreements (and the Disagreement Notice) shall be limited to whether the Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser was prepared on the basis of, and using, the Calculation Principles, and Seller shall not be entitled to submit disagreements on any other basis (including as to whether such Calculation Principles are or were appropriate). If Seller fails to deliver the Disagreement Notice by the end of such 30-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser. Matters included in the calculations in the Closing Statement to which Seller does not object in the Disagreement Notice shall be deemed accepted by Seller and shall not be subject to further dispute or review. During the period prior to Seller’s delivery of any Disagreement Notice, Seller shall have reasonable access to all documents, schedules and workpapers used by Purchaser in the preparation of the Closing Statement. Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement with respect to the Closing Statement, and any resolution agreed to in writing by Purchaser and Seller shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(d) If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement as contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section 2.04 within 30 days after delivery of a Disagreement Notice by Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly select a partner at a mutually agreeable accounting firm to resolve such disagreement. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach agreement on the identity of such a partner within 20 days after the expiration of such 30-day period, either party may request that a partner at a nationally recognized accounting firm, other than a partner at either party’s current accounting firm, be appointed by the American Arbitration Association. The individual so selected shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Arbitrator.” The parties shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator to consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement as to which Purchaser and Seller have not resolved their disagreement. Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Arbitrator to deliver to the parties, as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than 30 days after his or her appointment), a written report setting forth the resolution

of any such disagreement determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties. In the event the Accounting Arbitrator concludes that Seller was correct as to a majority (by dollar amount) of the disputed items, then Purchaser shall pay the Accounting Arbitrator’s fees, costs and expenses. In the event the Accounting Arbitrator concludes that Purchaser was correct as to a majority (by dollar amount) of the disputed items, then Seller shall pay the Accounting Arbitrator’s fees, costs and expenses.

(e) Purchaser and Seller agree that any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the allocation referred to in Section 2.03(d).

SECTION 2.05. Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Shares and the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, all as contemplated hereby, shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 11:00 AM, Eastern time, on the first Business Day that is (a) at least two Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the obligations of the parties set forth in Article VIII (other than conditions to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the waiver or fulfillment of those conditions) and (b) mutually agreed upon in writing by Seller and Purchaser (the day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP located at One Liberty Plaza, New York, New York, or at such other place as Seller and Purchaser may mutually agree upon in writing. Legal title, equitable title and risk of loss with respect to the Shares and the Transferred Assets will transfer to Purchaser (or its designated Subsidiaries as allowed hereunder), and the Assumed Liabilities will be assumed by Purchaser (or its designated Subsidiaries as allowed hereunder), at the Closing, which transfer and assumption will be deemed effective for accounting and other computational purposes as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the Closing Date.

SECTION 2.06. Closing Deliveries by Seller. At the Closing, Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser:

(a) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser of the sale and transfer at the Closing of the Shares to Purchaser (or its designated Subsidiaries as allowed hereunder);

(b) letters of resignation, effective as of the Closing Date, from the directors and officers of ICX listed in Section 2.06(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule;

(c) a counterpart of each of the Ancillary Agreements, executed by each of Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries that is a party thereto, to the extent not delivered prior to the Closing; and

(d) any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement or reasonably requested by Purchaser.

SECTION 2.07. Closing Deliveries by Purchaser. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries:

(a) a counterpart of each of the Ancillary Agreements, executed by each of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries that is a party thereto, to the extent not delivered prior to the Closing;

(b) the Estimated Purchase Price by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account or accounts of Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries designated at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date by Seller in a written notice to Purchaser; and

SECTION 2.08. Accounting. To the extent that, after the Closing, (a) Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including ICX) receives any payment or instrument that is for the account of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries according to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly deliver such amount or instrument to Seller, and (b) Seller or any of the Seller Subsidiaries receives any payment or instrument that is for the account of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including ICX) according to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall promptly deliver such amount or instrument to Purchaser.

SECTION 2.09. Nonassignable Assets.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign or transfer any Transferred Asset (including any Assumed Contract or any Shared Contract) to Purchaser which by its terms or by Law is nonassignable without a Consent (a “Nonassignable Asset”), unless and until such Consent shall have been obtained. Seller shall advise Purchaser in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (a) of any Material Contract with a Material Customer with respect to which a Consent of the counterparty is required for assignment and (b) if, to the Knowledge of Seller, Seller has received written notice by letter, facsimile or email that such Material Customer will not agree to the assignment of any Material Contract described in clause (a) to Purchaser hereunder at the Closing. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and by the terms of the applicable Nonassignable Asset, such Nonassignable Asset shall be held, as of and from the Closing, by Seller (or the relevant Seller Subsidiary) for the benefit and burden of Purchaser and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be fully performed by Purchaser on Seller’s (or such Seller Subsidiary’s) behalf and all rights and Liabilities existing thereunder that would constitute Assumed Liabilities shall be for Purchaser’s account. For the avoidance of doubt, the designation of a Transferred Asset as a Nonassignable Asset does not render it an Excluded Asset. Subject to Section 5.08, after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Consents to assignment of Nonassignable Assets and/or to remove any other impediments to the transfer or assignment of each Nonassignable Asset or, in the case of a Vendor Shared Contract and to the extent the necessary Consent for transfer or assignment has not otherwise been obtained and Purchaser so requests, to encourage the relevant Vendor to enter into a separate Contract with Purchaser in respect of the relevant Vendor Shared Contract, and Seller will transfer or assign each Nonassignable Asset to Purchaser (or a Subsidiary designated by it) within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of Consent thereto and/or removal of such impediment.

SECTION 5.02. Access to Information; Advice of Changes.

Seller shall also cooperate with Purchaser’s reasonable requests in transition and integration planning for the Business, subject to compliance with applicable Laws and at Purchaser’s risk and expense.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this or any other agreement between Purchaser and Seller executed on or prior to the date hereof, Seller shall not have any obligation to make available to Purchaser or its representatives, or provide Purchaser or its representatives with, (i) any Tax Return filed by Seller or any of its Affiliates or predecessors, or any related material, except to the extent relating solely to the Transferred Assets, or (ii) any information if making such information available would (A) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (B) contravene any applicable Law or agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which Seller or any its Affiliates is a party), so long as Seller has taken all commercially reasonable steps (including requests for waivers) to enable otherwise required disclosure to Purchaser to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement. If any material is withheld by such party pursuant to the preceding sentence, Seller shall inform Purchaser as to the general nature of what is being withheld.

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party of the failure of the other party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by the other party pursuant to this Agreement of which the notifying party becomes aware and which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of the other party to effect the transactions provided for in this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) (i) shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter at or prior to the execution of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice and (ii) shall not be given any effect for the purpose of (x) determining the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by the party providing such notice or (y) determining whether any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII has been satisfied.

(a) The terms of the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2007, as amended on June 3, 2008, between Seller and Syniverse Technologies (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect and survive the Closing, except that the non-disclosure and non-use obligations of Purchaser under the Confidentiality Agreement in respect of information about ICX and the Business shall terminate at the Closing. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in all respects.

(b) Seller covenants that, from and after the Closing Date, without the prior consent of Purchaser, it will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents to, disclose to any Person information to the extent relating to or concerning the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities in each case obtained by or in the possession of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing (the “Business Confidential Information”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Business Confidential Information may be disclosed without the consent of Purchaser (i) to any Person to the extent such Persons need to know such information for purposes of the Transactions contemplated, Taxes, accounting, litigation, audits and other matters reasonably necessary in respect of the ownership by Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries prior to the Closing of the Transferred Assets or the Business, (ii) if required to be made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other Law or the rules of any relevant securities exchange.

(c) In the event that Seller or any of its Affiliates is requested or required by documents subpoena, civil investigative demand, interrogatories, requests for information, or other similar process to disclose any Business Confidential Information which otherwise may not be disclosed except as set forth in Section 5.04(b), Seller or such Affiliate will, to the extent permitted, provide reasonable notice to Purchaser of such request or demand or other similar

process so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or, if such request, demand or other similar process is mandatory, Purchaser shall waive compliance with the provisions of Section 5.04(b), as appropriate.

(d) Neither of the parties shall issue any press release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of (i) Seller, in the event the disclosing party is Purchaser, or (ii) Purchaser, in the event the disclosing party is Seller, in each case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except each party may make such disclosure to the extent so required pursuant to an applicable requirement of Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, provided that each party shall give the other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such disclosure to the extent practicable.

SECTION 5.04. Efforts and Actions to Cause the Closing to Occur.

(a) Prior to the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do or cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.03 to be satisfied, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do or cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 to be satisfied. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser shall (i) prepare and file all forms, registrations and notices that Purchaser and Seller mutually agree are appropriate and necessary to be filed with Governmental Authorities and other Persons necessary to consummate the Closing and take such actions as are necessary to obtain any requisite Consent, (ii) seek to prevent the initiation of any Action by any Governmental Authority and defend any Actions by or before any Governmental Authority challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Closing and (iii) appeal or otherwise cause to be lifted or rescinded any Governmental Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the Closing. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Purchaser and Seller agrees to make or cause to be made an appropriate filing of any Notification and Report Form required pursuant to the HSR Act and any filings or applications that Purchaser and Seller mutually agree are appropriate and necessary under the Laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction, including the European Union or any member state thereof, as soon as practicable after the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.04(a) to the contrary, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be obligated to make any payment or deliver anything of material value to any third party (other than filing and application fees to Governmental Authorities) in order to obtain any Consent.

(b) If any party hereto or Affiliate thereof receives a request for information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, then such party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such information and/or documentary request.

(c) The parties shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining the requisite Consents of each applicable Governmental Authority, including:

(i) cooperating with each other in connection with filings under the HSR Act, other antitrust or trade regulation Laws of any jurisdiction, and any Laws regulating foreign investment of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) furnishing to the other party all information within its possession that is required for any application or other filing to be made by the other party pursuant to the HSR Act, other competition Laws of any jurisdiction, or any Laws regulating foreign investment of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) promptly notifying each other of any communications from or with any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(v) consulting and cooperating with one another in connection with all analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act, competition Laws of any jurisdiction, or Laws regulating foreign investment of any jurisdiction, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.04 shall be deemed to require Purchaser or any Subsidiary of Purchaser to agree to (i) dispose of or transfer any asset or business; (ii) license or otherwise make available to any Person any technology or other intellectual property rights associated with any such asset or business; (iii) hold separate any assets or operations (either before or after the Closing Date) or (iv) change or modify any course of conduct or otherwise making any commitment (to any Governmental Authority or otherwise) regarding future operations of Purchaser’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ businesses.

(e) Prior to deciding whether to provide any commitment to any antitrust, competition or similar Governmental Authority granting an additional time period to review the Transactions or committing not to close the Transactions during such review period or to deciding whether to withdraw and refile any filing made under the HSR Act (any such commitment or decision, an “Antitrust Extension Decision”), each of Purchaser and Seller will consult with and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection therewith. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) during the period from the date hereof until June 30, 2010, Purchaser shall have the sole right to make any Antitrust Extension Decision without Seller’s consent and (ii) from and after June 30, 2010, any Antitrust Extension Decision shall require the consent of each of Purchaser and Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 5.08. Further Action.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, each of the parties shall execute and deliver such documents and other papers and take such further actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and give effect to the Transactions, including the execution and delivery of such assignments, deeds and other documents as may be necessary to transfer any Transferred Assets as provided in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Closing (i) Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries shall do all things necessary, proper or advisable as reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to put Purchaser in effective possession, ownership and control of the Transferred Assets, and Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller for such purpose, including obtaining consents from any third parties to the extent necessary to transfer any Assumed Contract to Purchaser (or its designated Affiliates) and (ii) Purchaser shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) do all things necessary, proper or advisable as reasonably requested by Seller (A) to transfer to Seller (or such other Person as Seller shall indicate) any Excluded Assets that Purchaser may possess and (B) to assure that Purchaser, rather than Seller or any Seller Subsidiary, is the obligor in respect of all Assumed Liabilities, including by novating any Assumed Contract that is a Nonassignable Asset to Purchaser and seeking to cause the counterparty to any Shared Contract to enter into a new agreement with Purchaser with respect to the matters addressed in such Shared Contract, and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser for such purposes, provided that neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be obligated to make any payment or deliver anything of value to any third party (other than filing and application fees to Governmental Authorities, which shall be split equally between Seller and Purchaser) in order to obtain any Consent to the transfer of Transferred Assets or the assumption of Assumed Liabilities. If, at any time within six (6) months after the Closing, any party discovers any material right, service, property or assets used or held for use by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with owning and operating the Business prior to the Closing that is not an Excluded Asset and was not transferred or provided to Purchaser as of the Closing, (i) if such right, service, property or asset was used or held for use by Seller prior to the Closing exclusively in connection with owning and operating the Business, the parties shall take all commercially reasonable actions to effect the transfer thereof to Purchaser, (ii) if such right, service, property or asset was used or held for use by Seller prior to the Closing primarily in connection with owning and operating the Business, the parties shall take all commercially reasonable actions to effect the transfer thereof to Purchaser and the parties shall arrange for Purchaser to provide Seller the benefit of such right, service, property or asset for use in Seller’s

retained business following the Closing, and (iii) in all other cases, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for Seller to provide Purchaser the benefit of such right, service, property or asset for use in the Business following the Closing pursuant to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement; provided that (x) upon the transfer to Purchaser under clause (i) or (ii) above of any right, service, property or asset, Purchaser shall assume any corresponding liability and (y) neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be obligated to make any payment or deliver anything of value to any third party (other than filing and application fees to Governmental Authorities, which shall be split equally between Seller and Purchaser) in order to effect any transfer described in this sentence.

(b) Purchaser shall, upon the request of Seller, and at no cost to Seller (other than reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses), make the Transferred Employees available at reasonable times and cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries in the preparation for, and defense of, any lawsuit, arbitration or other Action (whether disclosed or not disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Schedule) filed or claimed against Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of the respective agents, directors, officers and employees of Seller and its Affiliates, whether currently pending or asserted in the future, concerning the operation or conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date (including any Retained Litigation), except with respect to any Actions between Seller and Purchaser that may arise as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 5.09. Ancillary Agreements; ATLAS Sublicense.

(a) On the Closing Date, each of Purchaser and Seller shall (and, if applicable, each shall cause its Subsidiaries) execute and deliver each of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party if such Ancillary Agreement has not been executed on the date hereof. Seller and ICX shall not amend or waive any term of the Contribution Agreement without Purchaser’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) From and after the date hereof, Purchaser shall execute and deliver the ATLAS Sublicense to Seller, and Seller shall deliver such executed ATLAS Sublicense to TNS and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause TNS to execute and deliver the ATLAS Sublicense to Purchaser as soon as practicable. In the event TNS fails to deliver an executed ATLAS Sublicense to Purchaser within five (5) days prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide to TNS a written waiver of TNS’s obligation to obtain an ATLAS Sublicense and Seller and Purchaser agree to execute a license between themselves, effective as of the Closing, providing for substantially similar rights and obligations as contained in the ATLAS Sublicense to the extent necessary for Purchaser to utilize the services being provided to Purchaser by TNS using ATLAS. In the event that TNS purports to terminate the ATLAS Sublicense to Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01 of the ATLAS Sublicense prior to May 1, 2012 and there is no independent right of TNS to terminate the ATLAS Sublicense pursuant to Section 7.02 thereof, Seller and Purchaser agree to enter into a license agreement that provides Purchaser with substantially similar rights and obligations as are set forth in the Atlas Sublicense, to the extent necessary for Purchaser to utilize the services being provided to Purchaser by TNS using ATLAS.

SECTION 5.10. Maintenance of Books and Records. After the Closing Date, each of the parties hereto shall, and Purchaser shall cause ICX to, preserve, until at least the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, all pre-Closing Date records to the extent relating to the

Business possessed or to be possessed by such Person. After the Closing Date and up until at least the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any reasonable request from a party hereto or its representatives, the party holding such records shall (a) provide to the requesting party or its representatives reasonable access to such records during normal business hours and (b) permit the requesting party or its representatives to make copies of such records, in each case at no cost to the requesting party or its representatives (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require either party to disclose any information to the other if such disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement (it being understood that each party shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the other party to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement) or require either party to disclose its Tax records. Such records may be sought under this Section 5.10 for any reasonable purpose, including to the extent reasonably required in connection with accounting, litigation, federal securities disclosure or other similar needs of the party seeking such records (other than claims between Seller and Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any and all such records may be destroyed by a party if such destroying party sends to the other party hereto written notice of its intent to destroy such records, specifying in reasonable detail the contents of the records to be destroyed; such records may then be destroyed after the 60^th day following such notice unless the other party hereto notifies the destroying party that such other party desires to obtain possession of such records, in which event the destroying party shall transfer the records to such requesting party and such requesting party shall pay all reasonable expenses of the destroying party in connection therewith and (ii) no party shall be required to provide the other party access to, or copies of, any Tax Returns.

SECTION 5.11. Deletion of Non-Transferred Software. Purchaser agrees that, on and following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not use and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to use any software or computer databases loaded on the Transferred Equipment or on the equipment of ICX as of the Closing Date, unless licenses to such software or computer databases are included in the Transferred Assets or ICX or Purchaser otherwise have the right to use them pursuant to the Intellectual Property License Agreement or Transition Services Agreement or otherwise. Purchaser shall, and shall cause ICX to, as soon as is reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than 45 days following the Closing Date, delete all such software and computer databases from any of the Transferred Equipment and ICX’s equipment on which it is installed.

SECTION 5.12. Use of Seller’s Trademarks and Logos. Except as expressly provided in the Intellectual Property License Agreement, Purchaser shall not have the right to use, and shall promptly cease and desist from all use of, the name “VeriSign” or any trade names, trademarks, identifying logos or service marks owned by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than as part of the Transferred Intellectual Property) or employing the word “VeriSign” or any part or variation of any of the foregoing or any confusingly similar trade names, trademarks or logos to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller’s Trademarks and Logos”) and will use Purchaser’s existing (prior to the Closing Date) trade names, trademarks, identifying logos and services marks or adopt new trade names, trademarks, identifying logos and service marks related thereto which are not confusingly similar to Seller’s Trademarks and Logos. Without prejudice to Purchaser’s obligation to cease and desist from the use of Seller’s Trademarks and Logos, Purchaser shall not use Seller’s Trademarks and Logos in any manner that might dilute, tarnish, disparage or reflect adversely on Seller or Seller’s Trademarks and Logos or result in any Liability to Seller.

SECTION 5.13. Seller Guarantees and Other Credit Support of the Business. Following the Closing, Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure the release by the applicable counterparty, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than 60 days after the Closing Date, of any continuing obligation of Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller with respect to any Assumed Contract, Shared Contract or Contract binding ICX (including any guarantee or credit support provided by, or any letter of credit posted by, Seller or any such Seller Subsidiary), provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to make any payment or deliver anything of value to any such counterparty or other third party in order to procure such release, and, unless otherwise indemnifiable by Seller under Section 10.01(a), will indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Subsidiaries of Seller from and against any Loss resulting from or relating to any such obligation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following the Closing, Purchaser will (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts (except for the payment or delivery of anything of value) to procure the release by the applicable counterparty of any continuing obligation of Seller or any such Subsidiary of Seller with respect to the guarantees or other credit support set forth in Section 5.13 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (b) unless otherwise indemnifiable by Seller under Section 10.01(a), indemnify and hold harmless Seller and each such Subsidiary of Seller from and against any Loss resulting from or relating to any continuing obligation of Seller or any such Subsidiary of Seller with respect to any such guarantee or other credit support.

SECTION 5.14. Release of Outgoing Directors and Officers. Purchaser shall cause ICX to irrevocably release and discharge, effective as of the Closing Date, the directors and officers of ICX who will have resigned from their offices as contemplated in Section 2.06(b) from and against any and all past, existing or future, claims, demands, obligations and Liabilities, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, at law or in equity, arising from or related to any act or omission by any of those individuals in their capacity of directors or officers of ICX prior to the Closing Date; provided, that such release and discharge shall be without prejudice to any rights of Purchaser under Article X.

SECTION 5.15. Retained Litigation.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall retain full control and responsibility for the defense, negotiation or settlement of, and any other action or decision relating to the Actions pending against Seller, Subsidiaries of Seller and/or ICX in relation to the Business that are listed in Section 5.15(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Retained Litigation”). The Retained Litigation includes the “Picturemail Retained Litigation”, the “MDG Retained Litigation” and the “Other Retained Litigation”, in each case as specified on Section 5.15(a) of such Schedule, and, immediately prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a supplement to Section 5.15(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule adding any Actions commenced after the date hereof that included claims substantially similar to the claims in such Actions that have been commenced prior to the date hereof (and “Retained Litigation” shall be deemed to include any such additional Actions). Notwithstanding the foregoing (or other provision of this Agreement), Seller shall not settle any Retained Litigation without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the relief provided by such settlement would not (i) impose any material obligations or restrictions on the Business or (ii), in the case the MDG

Retained Litigation and Other Retained Litigation, impose any Loss on Purchaser or the Business after the Closing Date that is not indemnifiable by Seller under Section 10.01(a) or (iii), in the case of the Picturemail Retained Litigation, impose any Loss on Purchaser or the Business after the Closing Date in excess of the amount set forth in Section 10.01(b)(v) that is not indemnifiable by Seller under Section 10.01(a). For the purposes of determining the indemnification obligations of Seller and Purchaser under Section 10.01(a)(vi) and Section 10.01(b)(v), respectively, Seller shall make a reasonable allocation between the pre-Closing and post-Closing periods of any Loss arising from any settlement of the Picturemail Retained Litigation. Purchaser may at any time elect to retain separate counsel of its choice to represent Purchaser and/or any of its Subsidiaries, including ICX, in connection with any Retained Litigation, and Purchaser shall pay the fees, charges and disbursements of such counsel; provided that (i) Seller shall have the right to approve the identity of such counsel, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) such counsel shall have a passive and advisory role only and shall not have the right to control any aspect of the defense or counterclaim (if any) in respect of any Retained Litigation.

(b) In addition, and without prejudice to Purchaser’s obligations under Section 5.08(b) and Section 5.10, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, including ICX, subject to reimbursement of all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates, to:

(i) cooperate and/or provide assistance, as reasonably requested by Seller, in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Retained Litigation;

(ii) cooperate with Seller’s requests to modify the operation of the Picturemail Business as Seller may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to minimize potential liability under the Picturemail Retained Litigation, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any unreimbursed Losses incurred by Purchaser as a result of doing so shall be taken into account for purposes of Section 10.01(a)(vi) and Section 10.01(b)(v);

(iii) make available to Seller individuals that are employed by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries in a timely manner to provide testimony through declarations, affidavits, depositions, or at hearing or trial and to assist Seller in preparation for such events consistent with deadlines dictated by particular Retained Litigation; and

(iv) provide Seller with such documents and data relating to the Business, consistent with deadlines dictated by a particular matter, as required by legal procedure or court order, or if reasonably requested by Seller, in relation to any Retained Litigation.

(c) In the event that a final non-appealable judgment is entered in connection with any Picturemail Retained Litigation (a “Picturemail Judgment”) and such judgment restricts Purchaser or any Subsidiary of Purchaser from continuing to operate the Picturemail Business in substantially the manner that the Picturemail Business is operated on the date hereof, Seller shall, at its option and within ninety (90) days from entry of such judgment, either (i) pay

to Purchaser [***] or (ii) deliver to Purchaser a fully paid up transferable perpetual license (or such other intellectual property rights) that would permit Purchaser (or such Subsidiary) to continue to operate the Business in such manner. Purchaser’s rights under this Section 5.15(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Purchaser Indemnified Person in respect of Losses that arise out of any such restriction.

SECTION 5.16. Non-Solicitation. Seller agrees that for a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (other than Affiliates that are natural persons) not to, directly or indirectly, solicit to hire or hire any Transferred Employee, unless such Person ceased to be an employee of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries prior to such action by Seller or its Affiliates, or, in the case of such Person’s voluntary termination of employment with Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, at least three months prior to such action by Seller or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.16 prohibiting solicitation of employment shall not apply to bona fide general solicitations of, or advertisements for, employment placed by Seller or its Affiliates that are not specifically targeted at such Persons. In addition, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (other than Affiliates that are natural persons) shall directly, or indirectly through another Person, for so long as Seller shall have continuing obligations under Section 5.17 below, call on, solicit or service any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in order to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing business with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Business, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation with respect to the Business and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including making any negative statements or communications with respect to the Business about Purchaser or any of its Affiliates). For purposes of this Section 5.16, the term Affiliate (when used in the context of Seller) shall not include any Person that, after the Closing Date, acquires control of Seller (an “Acquiring Person”) or any Subsidiary of an Acquiring Person (other than Seller and its Subsidiaries at the time of such acquisition of control) (an “Acquiring Person Subsidiary”) that does not use information regarding the identities of Transferred Employees for purposes of taking action that would otherwise be prohibited by this Section 5.16.

SECTION 5.17. Noncompetition.

(a) Subject to Section 5.17(b) below, in consideration of Purchaser entering into this Agreement and in order that Purchaser may enjoy the full benefit of the Transferred Assets and the Business, for a period from and after the Closing Date until June 30, 2013 (the “Noncompetition Period”), neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (other than Affiliates that are natural persons) shall, directly or indirectly, carry on, or participate in, a business which is directly in competition with the Business (any such restricted activity, a “Competitive Business”); provided, that for purposes of this Section 5.17, the term Affiliate shall not include any Acquiring Person or any Acquiring Person Subsidiary so long as neither the Acquiring Person, any Acquiring Person Subsidiary nor their respective directors, officers or employees use any Business Confidential Information in any material respect in connection with any Competitive Business.

***	Note: Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the information contained within the [***] marking. Such portions have been omitted from this filing and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) Nothing in this Section 5.17 shall restrict the right of Seller and its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly:

(i) continue to operate each of the businesses of Seller other than the Business (the “Existing Businesses”) in substantially the same manner as the Existing Businesses are currently conducted (including any business substantially similar to an Existing Business acquired by Seller or any of its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date to the extent such business is thereafter conducted in substantially the same manner as the Existing Businesses are currently conducted);

(ii) transfer any Existing Business to any third party (including any third party engaged in a Competitive Business);

(iii) provide any service or carry out any activity that Seller or its Subsidiaries will be required to provide or carry out as a result of the adoption of any consensus policy by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers;

(iv) acquire or hold securities of any Person that is engaged in a Competitive Business, provided that such acquisition or holding of securities represents a passive investment that does not exceed 20% of the outstanding voting shares of such Person for Seller or any of its Affiliates and does not give Seller or any of its Affiliates the right to appoint directors or management of such Person or to otherwise exercise control over the management of such Person; or

(v) acquire the majority of the voting securities of any Person, or acquire the assets of a business, that is engaged in a Competitive Business, provided that such Competitive Business (A) is terminated or disposed of within twelve months after completion of such acquisition and (B) represents less than 10% of the revenues generated by such acquired Person or business.

(c) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 5.17 will be inadequate and, accordingly, Seller covenants and agrees that Purchaser shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have at Law, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and to seek the remedy of specific performance with respect to any breach or threatened breach of such covenant, as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction. Seller hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with seeking any such equitable relief. In addition, Seller and Purchaser agree that the terms of the covenant in this Section 5.17 are fair and reasonable in light of Purchaser’s plans for the Transferred Assets and the Business and are necessary to accomplish the full transfer of the goodwill and other intangible assets contemplated hereby. In the event that any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.17 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then any such provision or provisions shall not be deemed void, and the parties hereto agree that said limits may be modified by the court and that said covenant contained in this Section 5.17 shall be amended in accordance with said modification, it being specifically agreed by the parties that it is their continuing desire that this covenant be enforced to the full extent of its terms and conditions or if a court finds the scope of the covenant unenforceable, the court should redefine the covenant so as to comply with applicable Law.

SECTION 5.18. UCC Termination Statements. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Purchaser UCC-3 termination statements or similar documents evidencing the termination of all Liens on the Transferred Assets, other than Permitted Liens.

SECTION 5.19. Direct Connects. Seller shall take all actions as specified in Section 5.19 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to establish independent “group 1” direct connections for Mobile Enterprise Solutions. In addition, Purchaser and Seller shall, and Seller shall cause mQube to, enter into the Connectivity Services Agreement, pursuant to the terms specified in Section 5.19 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. The obligations of the parties under this Section 5.19 shall expire twenty-four (24) months after the Closing.

ARTICLE VI

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

SECTION 6.01. Offers and Terms of Employment.

(a) Seller shall, and shall cause the relevant Subsidiaries of Seller to, terminate, effective as of the Closing Date, the employment of all the Employees listed in Part I of Section 6.01(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (such schedule to be updated no later than two weeks prior to the Closing). No later than three days prior to, and effective as of, the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its applicable Subsidiaries to, offer employment to each such Employee (each such Employee, an “Offeree”). Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, for any such Employee (an “Inactive Employee”) who is inactive on the Closing Date because of a short-term disability or by reason of a leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (an “FMLA Leave”) such termination of employment and offer of employment shall be effective as of the date such Employee returns to active status, and shall be subject to such Employee returning to active status not later than the expiration of such short-term disability benefits or FMLA Leave. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01(a), for employees located in non-US jurisdictions for whom the transfer of employment mechanism described above would be inconsistent with local requirements (each, a “Non-US TE”), employment shall transfer through assumption of employment contracts or otherwise in compliance with such requirements. Part II of Section 6.01(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth the manner in which the employment of each Non-US TE is intended by the Purchaser and Seller to be transferred. In the event employment of the Non-US TEs cannot be transferred as outlined on Section 6.01(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, then an agreement outlining the actual method of transfer and the allocation of any associated Liabilities shall be created and negotiated in good faith between Seller and Purchaser, but in all events shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Each Offeree who accepts Purchaser’s or one of its Subsidiaries’ offer of employment, together with each non-U.S. Employee whose employment continues as provided in Section 6.01(a), shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee.” An Offeree who performs work at his then applicable place of employment in the Business on the first Business Day immediately following the Closing Date shall be deemed to have accepted the offer of

employment and to be a Transferred Employee for all purposes of this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall have no obligation to any Transferred Employee who fails to take such action as may be required of him by local law to commence or continue employment with Purchaser. Immediately following the Closing, all Transferred Employees employed in the U.S. will be employed by ICX. Purchaser shall, upon the request of Seller, promptly advise Seller in writing of the terms of employment that were offered to any Offeree who does not become a Transferred Employee. For the avoidance of any doubt any Person, who is not an Offeree and who performs services on behalf of Seller, Seller Subsidiaries, or their Affiliates, for Purchaser and the Business as part of the Transition Services Agreement shall not be a deemed a Transferred Employee.

(c) The Parties agree that offers of employment to Transferred Employees may be subject to such reasonable background and drug screen checks as the Purchaser shall determine, which checks shall be performed following the Closing Date (or initial date of employment for Inactive Employees). Neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall have any Liability or responsibility in respect of any such Employee who fails such checks, and no such Employee shall be treated as a Transferred Employee hereunder, except that Purchaser shall bear full responsibility for any Liability relating to the conduct of the checks or any alleged improprieties in the conduct thereof or in the Purchaser’s decision to revoke any offer of employment as a result thereof.

(d) With respect to Employees located in the U.S., Purchaser shall cause each offer of employment pursuant to Section 6.01(a) to provide for an annual base salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable), that is the same as such salary or rate (as applicable) of, or made available to, the relevant Offeree immediately prior to the Closing Date plus, in the case of Employees located in the U.S., a one-time increase in such salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable) equal to the excess of (x) the amount contributed by such Offeree towards the premium for medical benefits provided by Purchaser in the first pay period immediately following the Closing Date, over (y) the amount contributed by such Offeree towards the premium for medical benefits provided by Seller in the last pay period immediately prior to the Closing Date, multiplied by twenty-six (the number of pay periods in one fiscal year), and (i) annual and long-term bonus and incentive compensation opportunities (other than incentive compensation opportunities related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), (ii) employee and retirement benefits, and (iii) other terms and conditions of employment (the items in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are referred to collectively, as the “Employment Terms”) that are the same as those of a similarly situated employee of Purchaser; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall restrict the ability of Purchaser to implement changes to any such Employment Terms, so long as such changes do not have a materially disproportionate impact on Transferred Employees as compared to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser; and provided further, that in the case of any Offeree whose terms and conditions of employment are subject to collective bargaining or other collective labor representation (as identified in Section 3.11(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule), Purchaser shall cause each such offer of employment (or, where applicable, the continuation of employment) to have such Employment Terms as may be required under applicable Law or any applicable collective bargaining or other collective labor agreement.

(e) (i) During the six-month period immediately following the Closing Date or any longer period required by applicable Law (such period, the “Coverage Period”), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, continue to provide each Transferred

Employee located in the U.S. with the annual base salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable) and Employment Terms in accordance with Section 6.01(d).

(ii) Section 6.01(e)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule shall list the employment terms and conditions currently provided to all Transferred Employees located in non-U.S. jurisdictions. During the Coverage Period, Purchaser shall, and shall cause any of its Subsidiaries that employs a Transferred Employee located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, to provide such Transferred Employees with the same employment terms and conditions as specified on Section 6.01(e)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

(iii) Nothing in this Section 6.01(e) shall restrict the right of Purchaser or a Subsidiary of Purchaser to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee, provided any such termination is effected in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of any applicable Purchaser Benefit Plan or applicable collective agreement or collective bargaining agreement (as identified in Section 3.11(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule).

(f) With respect to any Transferred Employee (other than a Transferred Employee who is covered by a change of control agreement set forth on Section 6.02(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule) who, during the Coverage Period, is terminated without cause, Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to provide, severance benefits in an amount equal to no less than the greater of (i) six weeks’ base pay of such Transferred Employee, (ii) the severance benefits such Transferred Employee would be entitled to receive under Purchaser’s or such Subsidiary’s severance policies in effect at the time of the Transferred Employee’s termination of employment with Purchaser or such Subsidiary, and (iii) the severance benefits including applicable notice periods such Transferred Employee would be entitled to receive under (A) Seller’s or such Subsidiary’s severance policies or (B) if applicable, Seller’s written agreement with such Transferred Employee, in either case, in effect at the time of the Closing Date. In the event that the greatest of such three amounts paid to any such Transferred Employee (other than a Transferred Employee who is covered by a change of control agreement set forth on Section 6.02(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule) is described in clause (iii) above, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser promptly upon the presentation of appropriate documentation evidencing such payment and the circumstances thereof, the excess of the amount (plus the amount of employment taxes actually required to be paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates, excluding, for the purposes of clarity, amounts withheld from the payments themselves, in respect of such amounts) described in clause (iii) over the greater of the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii).

(g) If any Transferred Employee identified in Section 6.01(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule as requiring a visa, work permit or employment pass or other approval for his employment to commence with, or to transfer to or continue with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall promptly file any and all necessary applications or documents and shall take all actions needed to secure the necessary visa, permit, pass or other approval, and Seller shall provide such assistance as reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection therewith.

(h) Not later than ten days after the end of each month in the six-month period following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Seller with the information set forth in Section 6.01(h) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule with respect to each Transferred Employee whose employment with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries terminated during such month,

provided that the information provided following the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date shall cover the entire period since the Closing Date. In addition, Purchaser shall promptly provide Seller with such information as Seller shall reasonably request regarding the circumstances related to the termination of employment of any such Transferred Employee.

SECTION 6.02. Assumption of Liabilities.

(a) Subject to Section 6.02(b) and Section 6.02(c), effective from and after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall assume and be solely responsible for all employment and employee benefits-related Liabilities that arise on or after the Closing Date and that relate to Purchaser’s employment, from and after the Closing Date, of any Transferred Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary of such Transferred Employee) and, except as expressly provided herein, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any Liability with respect to any such Transferred Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary of such Transferred Employee) that relates to such Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

(b) Seller and its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not assume, honor, pay, perform, or reimburse Seller and its Subsidiaries for, any Liabilities of Seller, or any of its Subsidiaries, that have accrued, been incurred, or arise before the Closing Date, to or in respect of any Transferred Employee, including, but not limited to, earned but unpaid salaries, bonuses (including annual and transaction stay bonuses), vacation pay, sick pay, holiday pay, severance pay and other like obligations and payments, Seller equity awards (all of the foregoing which Seller shall have the sole obligation to extinguish as applicable, and pay out to any Transferred Employee); provided, however, that Purchaser shall assume all Liability for (i) accrued but unused vacation time where such Liability is required to be assumed by operation of Law, (ii) under any change in control agreements with Transferred Employees set forth on Section 6.02(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, (iii) as provided in Part II of Section 6.01(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

(c) (i) Subject to compliance by Purchaser with its obligations under Section 6.01 hereof, as applicable to non-U.S. Transferred Employees and U.S. Employees respectively, from and after the Closing, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for any and all Liabilities arising in connection with any actual or threatened claim by any non-U.S. Transferred Employee or U.S. Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee, that his employment in connection with the Business or otherwise with Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has been actually or constructively terminated as a direct or indirect result of or otherwise in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any and all Liabilities arising in connection with any actual or threatened claim by any U.S. Transferred Employee that his employment in connection with the Business or otherwise with Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has been actually or constructively terminated as a direct or indirect result of or otherwise in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article VI, effective from and after the Closing Date, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall remain responsible for any and all employment and employee benefits-related Liabilities of Seller, any of its Subsidiaries or any Seller Benefit Plan incurred or arising out of any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, to or in respect of any current or former employee of the Business (or any dependent or beneficiary of such employee).

(e) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, pay the Transferred Employees in respect of annual bonus for the period prior to the Closing Date such amounts as are determined by Seller to be payable, as set forth in a schedule to be provided by Seller to Purchaser, net of any tax withholdings required in respect of such payments. Seller shall, not later than 5 Business Days prior to the date such payments are to be made (as specified by Seller in such schedule), pay to Purchaser the aggregate of such amounts plus the amount of employment taxes actually required to be paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates (excluding, for the purposes of clarity, amounts withheld from the payments themselves) in respect of such amounts. (For the avoidance of doubt, in determining the “employment taxes actually required to be paid,” if an amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 6.02(e) is in excess of the wages subject to employment taxes already paid in the applicable year (such as amounts required to be paid in excess of wages subject to the non-HI portion of FICA taxes), such amount will not be treated as subject to an employment tax.).

(f) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, pay the Transferred Employees in respect of any of Seller’s Sales Compensation Plans for the calendar quarter commencing prior to the Closing Date and ending after the Closing date such amounts as are determined by Seller to be payable, as set forth in a schedule to be provided by Seller to Purchaser, net of any tax withholdings required in respect of such payments. Seller shall, not later than 5 Business Days prior to the date such payments are to be made (as specified by Seller in such schedule), pay to Purchaser the aggregate of such amounts plus the amount of employment taxes actually required to be paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates (excluding, for the purposes of clarity, amounts withheld from the payments themselves) in respect of such amounts.

SECTION 6.03. Union Employees and Plans.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, (i) recognize each collective bargaining or other labor representative identified in Section 3.11(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule then representing any of the Transferred Employees, and (ii) assume each collective bargaining or other collective labor agreement identified in Section 3.11(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule covering any Transferred Employees or the terms and condition of employment of any Transferred Employees. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, assume, honor, pay and perform all of the Liabilities and obligations under or in respect of each such collective bargaining or other collective labor agreement in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or as the same may thereafter be amended in accordance with its terms, including all such Liabilities and obligations of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and take all reasonably necessary or appropriate actions with respect to any requirement under applicable Law or any applicable agreement to notify the collective bargaining or other labor representatives of the Employees of this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any applicable works council, and to provide such information and engage in such notifications, discussions or negotiations with such representatives as may be required by applicable Law or any applicable agreement.

SECTION 6.04. Participation in Purchaser Benefit Plans.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, each Transferred Employee shall cease to participate in any Seller Benefit Plan (other than as a former employee of Seller and its Subsidiaries to the extent, if any, permitted by the terms of such Seller Benefit Plan). Effective from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, establish or have in effect Benefit Plans for the benefit of the Transferred Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) in accordance with the requirements of this Article VI and Purchaser’s and its Subsidiaries’ offers of employment.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, recognize the service of the Transferred Employees prior to the Closing Date with Seller or any of its Affiliates and any of their respective predecessors as service with Purchaser for all purposes under Purchaser Benefit Plans, including eligibility to participate, vesting, level of benefits and, for purposes of severance and vacation benefits, benefit accrual, except to the extent the recognition of such service would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service. From and after the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee shall immediately be eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Purchaser Benefit Plans. With respect to any Purchaser Benefit Plan that is a medical, dental, or other health plan, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) waive or cause to be waived any pre-existing condition exclusions and requirements that would result in a lack of coverage of any pre-existing condition of a Transferred Employee (or any dependent thereof) that would have been covered under the Seller Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Employee (or eligible and enrolled dependent thereof) was a participant immediately prior to the Closing Date, and credit or cause to be credited any time accrued against applicable waiting periods relating to such pre-existing condition and (ii) waive any health eligibility, actively-at-work or medical examination requirements under such plans.

(c) Purchaser agrees to cause its tax-qualified defined contribution plan for U.S. employees to allow each Transferred Employee who has one or more account balances in Seller’s tax-qualified 401(k) plan to make a “direct rollover” of such account balances (including promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans) from Seller’s defined contribution plan if such Transferred Employee elects to make such a rollover.

SECTION 6.05. WARN Act Compliance. The parties agree to cooperate in good faith to determine whether any notification may be required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended (the “WARN Act”), and any similar Law. Purchaser agrees to provide any required notice under the WARN Act, and any similar Law, and to otherwise comply with the WARN Act and any such other similar Law with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting Transferred Employees (including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and occurring from and after the Closing. Seller shall comply with the WARN Act or any similar Law with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting Employees (including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and occurring prior to the Closing. During the 90-day period immediately following the Closing, Purchaser agrees to not take and to cause its Subsidiaries not to take, any action that would, alone or in the aggregate, cause the termination of any Employee that occurs on or before the Closing Date to constitute a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” or group termination under the

WARN Act or any similar Law, or creates any Liability or penalty to Seller for any employment terminations under applicable Law. On the Closing Date, Seller shall notify Purchaser of any “employment loss” (as that term is defined in the WARN Act) of any Employees in the 90-day period prior to the Closing.

SECTION 6.06. No Amendments or Third-Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute or be deemed to be an amendment to any Purchaser Benefit Plan or Seller Benefit Plan or (ii) require Purchaser to amend, modify, affect, or terminate any Purchaser Benefit Plan (other than as may be required to reflect the obligations of Purchaser set forth in Article VI).

(b) The provisions of this Article VI are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt any Employee), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Article VI) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

SECTION 7.01. Transfer Taxes. Seller and Purchaser agree that all Transfer Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Transactions, shall be borne equally by Seller (or its applicable Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and Purchaser (or its applicable Subsidiaries), on the other hand, whether levied on Seller, Purchaser or any of their Subsidiaries. In the event that any such Transfer Taxes are required under applicable Law to be collected, remitted or paid by one party or any of its Subsidiaries or any agent thereof (as requested by such party or any of its Subsidiaries), the other party shall (on behalf of itself and of its applicable Subsidiaries) pay half the amount of such Transfer Taxes to the first mentioned party, any of its Subsidiaries or any such agent, as applicable, at the Closing or thereafter, as applicable, as requested of or by the first mentioned party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments due to Seller shall be made without any deduction or withholding on account of any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law in which case the sum payable by Purchaser in respect of which such deduction or withholding is to be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after making such deduction or withholding, Seller receives and retains (free from any Liability in respect thereof) a net sum equal to the sum it would have received but for such deduction or withholding being required.

SECTION 7.02. Tax Characterization of Adjustments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat, and cause their respective Subsidiaries to treat, all payments made either to or for the benefit of the other under any indemnity provisions of this Agreement and for any misrepresentations or breach of warranty or covenants as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof.

SECTION 7.03. Parties’ Responsibility. Subject to Section 7.01, Seller, or a relevant Subsidiary of Seller, as applicable, is and shall remain solely responsible for all Tax

matters arising from or relating to the Business, ICX and/or the Transferred Assets through the Closing. Purchaser, or a relevant Subsidiary of Purchaser, as applicable, shall be solely responsible for all Tax matters arising from or relating to the Business, ICX and/or the Transferred Assets after the Closing. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Business, ICX and/or the Transferred Assets for the portion of the Straddle Period up to and through the Closing shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as though the Taxable period of the Business ended on the Closing. The amount of other Taxes of the Business for the portion of the Straddle Period up to and through the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. The parties shall cooperate with each other concerning all Tax matters.

SECTION 7.04. Tax Returns.

(a) Seller shall be responsible for the timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant tax authorities) of all Tax Returns required by Law to be filed by, or with respect to, ICX in respect of any period ending on or before the Closing. Such Tax Returns shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects, and all Taxes indicated as due and payable on such Tax Returns shall be paid or will be paid by Seller as and when required by Law.

(b) Purchaser shall be responsible for the timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant Tax authorities) of all Tax Returns required by Law to be filed by, or with respect to, ICX in respect of any period ending after the Closing Date, it being understood that all taxes indicated as due and payable on such Tax Returns shall be the responsibility of Purchaser, except for such Taxes which are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to Section 7.03. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by an intervening change in Law.

(c) Seller shall be entitled to review and comment on any Tax Return for ICX for any taxable period that is a Straddle Period before it is filed. Purchaser shall submit a draft of any such Tax Return to Seller at least 90 days before the date such Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Tax authority. Seller shall have 30 days after the date of receipt thereof to submit to Purchaser in writing Seller’s comments with respect to such Tax Return. Purchaser shall notify Seller within 15 days after receipt of such comments of (a) the extent, if any, to which Purchaser accepts such comments and will file such Tax Return in accordance therewith and (b) the extent, if any, to which Purchaser rejects such comments.

(d) To the extent Purchaser rejects comments of Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall, within 10 days, appoint an independent public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing that does not then audit the books of Purchaser, Seller or any relevant Subsidiary to determine the correct manner for reporting the items that are in dispute. Seller and Purchaser agree promptly to provide to such accounting firm all relevant information, and such accounting firm shall have 30 days to submit its determination. The determination of such accounting firm shall be binding upon the parties and Purchaser shall file such Tax Return in accordance therewith. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser.

(e) Except as required by Law, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates will amend, re-file, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of, or in respect of, ICX or the Transferred Assets with respect to a pre-Closing Tax period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.02(b), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct the defense of and settle any third party claims related to Taxes.

SECTION 7.05. Section 338(h)(10) Election. Seller and Purchaser shall effect, or cause to be effected, the timely filing of a completed Form 8023 and shall take such other steps, including those required by Form 8023 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1, as may be necessary to make effective elections pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state or local law) with respect to ICX. Seller shall prepare Form 8883 and similar forms for purposes of state and local taxation concurrently with the preparation of the Allocation Schedule in accordance with Section 2.03(d), and the parties shall take such other actions required pursuant to the Treasury Regulations under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code to report the allocation of the portion of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities with respect to the Shares as allocable thereto in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 2.03 (the “ICX Purchase Price Allocation”). The procedures set forth in Section 2.03(d), including the use of an Accounting Arbitrator, shall also govern any dispute and the resolution thereof with respect to the final ICX Purchase Price Allocation. For all Tax purposes (except with respect to Tax Returns the timely filing of which may not be extended, without the imposition of penalties, until after the ICX Purchase Price Allocation has been finalized), Purchaser and Seller agree (i) to report, and cause their respective Subsidiaries to report, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent in all material respects with the final ICX Purchase Price Allocation, which shall be binding upon Purchaser and Seller and their respective Subsidiaries and (ii) not to take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, Tax filing (including filings required under Sections 1060 and 338 of the Code), audit, refund claim or otherwise.

SECTION 7.06. Refunds and Tax Benefits. Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller an amount equal to any refund or credit (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) received by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Transferred Assets, the Business or ICX (i) relating to Taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date or (ii) attributable to any Tax pre-paid by Seller, or its Affiliates, for Taxable periods, or the portions thereof, ending after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall, if requested, by Seller and at Seller’s expense, cause the relevant entity to file for and obtain any refund or credit which would give rise to a payment under this Section 7.06. Purchaser shall permit Seller to control the prosecution of any such refund claim, and shall cause the relevant entity to authorize by appropriate power of attorney such person as Seller shall designate to represent such entity with respect to such refund claim.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 9.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (except as limited as to time in the case of paragraph (b) below):

(a) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

(b) by Seller or Purchaser, upon prior written notice to the other party, if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to June 30, 2010 (the “Termination Date”); except that if, as of such date, any one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(a), 8.01(b) or 8.01(c) shall not have been satisfied but all other conditions set forth in Article VIII shall have been satisfied or, for those conditions intended to be satisfied at the Closing, shall be capable of being satisfied, the Termination Date may be extended once by either party until October 31, 2010, in which case all references to the Termination Date shall be to the Termination Date as so extended;

(c) by Seller, upon prior written notice to Purchaser, in the event a condition set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 has not been satisfied, is not reasonably capable of being satisfied and has not been waived by Seller, on or prior to the Termination Date; or

(d) by Purchaser, upon prior written notice to Seller, in the event a condition set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 has not been satisfied, is not reasonably capable of being satisfied and has not been waived by Purchaser, on or prior to the Termination Date.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.01 to the contrary, the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) above shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the event or condition purportedly giving rise to a right to terminate this Agreement under such paragraph prior to the Closing.

SECTION 9.02. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article IX, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, except as set forth in this Section 9.02, Section 9.03 and Article XI (other than Section 11.13), all of which shall survive any such termination, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party, except with respect to any Losses incurred or suffered by a party that were the result of fraud or intentional breach of this Agreement prior to termination.

SECTION 9.03. Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by (i) Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.01(d) as a result of either or both of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(b) not being satisfied or becoming incapable of being satisfied when all other conditions set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied or, for those conditions intended to be satisfied at the Closing, shall be capable of being satisfied, (ii) Seller pursuant to Section 9.01(c) as a result of (A) a material uncured breach by Purchaser of its obligations under Section 5.04 and/or (B) either or both of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(b) not being satisfied or becoming incapable of being satisfied when all other conditions set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied or, for those conditions intended to be satisfied at the Closing, shall be capable of being satisfied or (iii) either Purchaser or Seller pursuant to Section 9.01(b) and, at the time of such termination pursuant to this clause (iii) either or both of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(b) shall not have been satisfied but all other conditions set forth in Article VIII shall have been satisfied or, for those conditions intended to be satisfied at the Closing, shall be capable of being satisfied, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the fifth (5^th) Business Day following such termination a termination fee of $17,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 9.03(a), a party shall not be entitled to assert that a condition precedent set forth in Article VIII has not been satisfied or has become incapable of being satisfied (and such party therefore shall not be entitled to receive the Termination Fee or shall be required to pay the Termination Fee, as the case may be) if the event or condition causing the condition precedent not to be satisfied is caused by or the result of such party’s bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or material uncured breach of any covenant set forth herein, including without limitation the covenant set forth in Section 5.04(b) as well as any other covenant in Section 5.04.

(b) Each of the parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that the amounts (if any) payable pursuant to Section 9.03(a) are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller in the circumstances in which such termination fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, Seller would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Purchaser fails to timely pay the Termination Fee, when due in accordance with this Section 9.03, and, in order to

obtain such payment, Seller commences a suit that results in a judgment against Purchaser for the amounts set forth in this Section 9.03, Purchaser shall pay to Seller its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit.

(ii) there shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 10.01(a)(i) or solely with respect to covenants required to be performed prior to Closing, Section 10.01(a)(ii) (A) unless the aggregate of all Losses for which Seller, but for this clause (A), would be liable under Section 10.01(a)(i) and solely with respect to covenants required to be performed prior to Closing, Section 10.01(a)(ii) exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $750,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess; or (B) for any amount, once the aggregate indemnification paid by Seller under Section 10.01(a)(i) and solely with respect to covenants performed prior to Closing, Section 10.01(a)(ii) exceeds $17,500,000; provided that the Deductible shall not apply to a breach of any Fundamental Representation or Section 3.12 (Environmental Matters);

***	Note: Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the information contained within the [***] marking. Such portions have been omitted from this filing and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(iii) there shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 10.01(a) to the extent the Loss (A) consists of a liability that was included in the determination of the Final Working Capital, or (B) relates to any breach of representation, warranty, or covenant expressly and specifically waived, in writing, by Purchaser;

(iv) there shall be no obligation to indemnify under Section 10.01(b) to the extent the Loss relates to any breach of representation, warranty, or covenant expressly and specifically waived, in writing, by Seller;

SECTION 10.02. Notice of Claim; Defense.

(a) If (i) any third party or Governmental Authority institutes, threatens or asserts any Action that may give rise to Losses for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable for indemnification under this Article X (a “Third-Party Claim”) or (ii) any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) shall have a claim to be indemnified by an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying the nature of such claim and a good faith estimate of the amount of all related Losses (a “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its indemnification obligations under this Article X only if (and then only to the extent that) it is actually prejudiced by the failure of the Indemnified Parties to provide a timely and adequate Claim Notice.

(b) In the event of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect to retain counsel of its choice to represent such Indemnified Parties in connection with such Action and shall pay the fees, charges and disbursements of such counsel so long as the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense against (or settlement of) such Third Party Claim and will indemnify the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim in its name or, if necessary, in the name of the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms and limitations of this Article X; provided, that (i) the Indemnified Parties and their counsel shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in connection with such Action and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the conduct and control of such settlement and defense if (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (B) the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel chosen by it that there are one or more defenses available to the Indemnified Party which the Indemnifying Party has not or cannot assert on behalf of the Indemnified Party, (C) the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim, or (D) a conflict exists with respect to the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Action without the relevant Indemnified Parties’ prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless (1) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are entirely paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party, (2) there is no finding or admission of any violation of applicable law and (3) such settlement includes an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party elects not to retain counsel and assume control of such

defense or is otherwise not entitled to do so in accordance with this Section 10.02, then the Indemnified Parties shall assume control of the defense in connection with such Action, and the fees, charges and disbursements of no more than one such counsel per jurisdiction selected by the Indemnified Parties shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. Under no circumstances will the Indemnifying Party have any liability in connection with any settlement of any Action that is entered into without its prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The foregoing provisions of this Section 10.02(b) shall not apply to any Third-Party Claim that alleges conduct for which both Seller and Purchaser would be an “Indemnifying Party” under Section 10.01(a)(iii) or (iv) (with respect to Seller) and Section 10.01(b)(iii) or (iv) (with respect to Purchaser). In any such case, each of Seller and Purchaser shall, at its cost and expense, assume and control the defense of the portion of such Third-Party Claim related to conduct for which such party would be so required to provide indemnity.

(c) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, experts and representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the books, records, personnel and properties of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the Claim Notice at no cost to the Indemnifying Party (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Parties).

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.02 are subject to the terms of Section 5.15 and Section 7.04(f).

SECTION 10.03. No Duplication; Exclusive Remedy. (a) Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a Transferred Asset, an Assumed Liability, an Excluded Asset, a Retained Liability or a Liability relating to the Retained Litigation, or a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, as applicable.

(b) From and after the Closing, the exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Persons in connection with this Agreement, the Contribution Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (whether under this contract or arising under common law or any other Law) shall be as provided in this Article X; provided, however, that nothing in this Article X shall limit in any way either party’s remedies in respect of intentional fraud by the other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.03(b) shall operate to interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Section 2.04, Section 5.15, Article VII or the Parties’ right to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) to enforce Section 5.03, Section 5.15, Section 5.16 and Section 5.17.

SECTION 10.04. Limitation on Set-off. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any right to set off any unresolved indemnification claim pursuant to this Article X against any payment due pursuant to Article II.

SECTION 10.05. Mitigation. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party under this Article X, including by making reasonable best efforts to mitigate, whether by seeking claims against a third party, an insurer or otherwise.

ARTICLE II

TRANSITION SERVICES

SECTION 2.01. Transition Services; Term.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in consideration of the fees payable by ICX and/or Purchaser pursuant to Article III, VeriSign shall provide, cause its Subsidiaries to provide, or otherwise make available, to ICX and/or Purchaser, and ICX and/or Purchaser shall receive, the Transition Services for the term indicated in Section 2.01(b). A detailed description of each Transition Service to be provided by Seller to ICX and/or Purchaser hereunder is set forth in the relevant Transition Service Schedule contained in the Schedule identified opposite such Transition Service in the table of Transition Services set forth in Appendix A. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise provided in the relevant Transition Service Schedule, Seller’s provision of Transition Services to Purchaser shall include the

provision of such Transition Services to any of Purchaser’s Affiliates (including Subsidiaries) that reasonably require such Transition Services for the operation of the Business.

(b) Subject to Section 2.06(c), Seller shall provide, and ICX and/or Purchaser shall receive, each Transition Service for a period of 90 days following the Closing Date or for such shorter or longer period as it is specified for each Transition Service in the relevant Transition Service Schedule (each such period, a “Term”). The Term for each Transition Service may be extended or shortened by mutual agreement of the Parties, without affecting the Term of any other Transition Service, such amended Term to be reflected in each applicable Transition Service Schedule.

SECTION 2.02. Additional Transition Services. Within 45 Business Days from the date hereof, Purchaser may identify and request Seller to provide additional transition services that relate to the Business and that Purchaser deems necessary to effectuate the orderly transition of the Business under the Acquisition Agreement. If Seller, in its sole discretion, agrees to provide any such additional service requested by Purchaser, each of Purchaser and ICX, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and execute as soon as reasonably practicable a new transition service schedule in the form of Appendix B. Upon execution of such schedule, the additional service described in such schedule shall become a Transition Service under this Agreement and shall be included in the list of Transition Services set forth in Appendix A and the new schedule shall become a Transition Service Schedule for the purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. Seller’s Affiliates and Third-Party Providers. In providing, or otherwise making available, the Transition Services to ICX and/or Purchaser, VeriSign may (i) use its own personnel or the personnel of any of its Subsidiaries and/or (ii) employ the services of contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other third-party providers (each, a “Third-Party Provider”). Each of Seller, its Subsidiaries, any Third-Party Provider and any other Person used by Seller to provide Transition Services shall be referred to as a “VeriSign Party”. Whenever Seller, as applicable, utilizes a VeriSign Party to perform the Transition Services pursuant to this Agreement, such VeriSign Parties shall at all times remain subject to the direction and control of Seller, and Purchaser shall have no liability to such VeriSign Parties for their salaries, fringe benefits, legally required employer contributions and or tax obligations by virtue of the provision of such Transition Services.

SECTION 2.04. Nature and Quality of Transition Services. ICX and Purchaser understand and agree that Seller is not in the business of providing Transition Services to third parties and that, in general, the standard of care to which Seller and any other VeriSign Party performing Transition Services hereunder shall be accountable for shall be the standard of care used by Seller in furnishing these Transition Services to its own internal organization, provided however, that, as applicable, the standard of care for the provision of Transition Services as otherwise indicated in the applicable Transition Service Schedules shall be as stated therein. Under no circumstances shall the relevant VeriSign Party or its employees or agents be held accountable for a greater standard of care with respect to the provision of a Transition Service other than as provided for pursuant to this Section 2.04; provided, however, that VeriSign shall not be liable under this Agreement (i) for any failure of a Third-Party Provider in the provision of a Transition Service so long as VeriSign shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to

cause such Third-Party Provider to perform the relevant Transition Service in a manner consistent with the Third-Party Provider’s contract and the standards by which such service is or was provided prior to the Closing Date or (ii) for failing to provide or make available Transition Services as set forth herein if such failure was the result of personnel of the relevant VeriSign Party performing the services in accordance with instructions provided by ICX and/or Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any VeriSign Party’s repeated noncompliance with the applicable standard of care requirements as set forth herein or in a Transition Service Schedule, ICX and/or Purchaser, as applicable, shall provide notice to Seller of such repeated noncompliance, and Seller shall provide a plan for restoring compliance or modifying such standard of care as appropriate.

SECTION 2.05. Seller’s Policies and Procedures. The Transition Services will be provided by a VeriSign Party in accordance with Seller’s policies and procedures as provided pursuant to Schedule IV, and with those policies and procedures set by other Persons that are applicable to the VeriSign Party providing the Transition Services, if any, and as will provided to ICX and/or Purchaser, and/or the premises where the Transition Services are performed, as provided pursuant to Schedule V (collectively, the “Seller Policies and Procedures”). If ICX and/or Purchaser act in a manner that is inconsistent with Seller Policies and Procedures, Seller shall so inform ICX and Purchaser and simultaneously provide a copy of any relevant Seller Policies and Procedures to ICX and Purchaser, and ICX and Purchaser shall then conform to the requirements of such Seller Policies and Procedures. The Seller Policies and Procedures may be amended, modified or otherwise changed from time to time upon reasonable notice to ICX and Purchaser, and in the event of such amendment, modification or change, Seller reserves the right to make corresponding changes to the Transition Services provided hereunder. Any such amendment modification or change shall be further evidenced as soon as practicable by an amendment to the relevant Transition Service Schedule, to the extent an amendment is deemed necessary by Seller or ICX and Purchaser. When changes permitted under this Section 2.05 are made to any Transition Service, such Transition Service, as changed, shall immediately be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and deemed to be a “Transition Service” for all purposes hereunder.

SECTION 2.06. Limitations to Seller’s Obligations. In addition to any other limitation or exclusion of Seller’s obligations or liability hereunder, the Parties agree as follows:

(a) ICX and Purchaser as Sole Beneficiaries. ICX and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that access to and use of the Transition Services is provided solely for the use of ICX and/or Purchaser, and solely for the operation of the Business, during the Term. ICX and Purchaser shall not allow access to or use of Transition Services by any other Person or for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.

(b) Other Limitations. Seller shall not be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any Transition Service (i) in a volume or quantity or at a level of service which exceeds (A) in the case of Transition Services set forth in Schedule II, the volumes, quantities or levels of service set forth in Schedule II and (B) in the case of any other Transition Service, the volumes, quantities or levels of service provided to the Business or ICX as of the Closing Date, (ii) if to do so would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Seller’s other businesses or

operations in a manner materially inconsistent with Seller’s past practice (provided that VeriSign shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or procure the provision of, such Transition Service without causing any such interference), (iii) in a jurisdiction where, in the sole judgment of Seller, a license or permit from a Governmental Authority is required to perform the Transition Service in such jurisdiction and Seller does not hold such license or permit, or (iv) if to do so would oblige the relevant VeriSign Party to provide, or procure the provision of, office accommodation in a location not occupied by VeriSign or the relevant VeriSign Party at the time the Transition Service is required to be provided.

(c) Seller’s Termination of Transition Services. If (i) Seller shall cease to provide for itself or its Affiliates a particular service analogous to a Transition Service or shall lower the service level of any such analogous service for itself or its Subsidiaries from the service level existing as of the date first above written, (ii) the applicable Transition Service is provided by a Third-Party Provider and Seller’s contract with such Third Party Provider expires or terminates for a reason not attributable to Seller or (iii) the applicable Transition Service requires Seller to make available to ICX and/or Purchaser office space within premises leased by a VeriSign Party from a third-party lessor and the relevant lease agreement expires or terminates for a reason not attributable to Seller, Seller may, as applicable, cease to provide such analogous Transition Service to ICX and/or Purchaser or lower the service level of such Transition Service, effective as of (A) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the date on which Seller’s contract with such Third-Party Provider or lease agreement with the relevant third-party lessor expires or terminates, provided that Seller shall provide ICX and Purchaser with at least 30 days prior notice of such expiration or termination and (B) in the case of clause (i) above, the later of (x) the date on which Seller ceases to generally provide such Transition Service or generally lowers the service level of such Transition Service and (y) the earlier of (I) six (6) months from the date on which Seller gives written notice thereof to ICX and Purchaser and (II) a date proposed by Seller and consented to by Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that promptly following the date on which Seller ceases to generally provide such Transition Service or generally lowers the service level of such Transition Service, Purchaser and/or ICX, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries receiving such Transition Service to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take any requisite actions (including obtaining the equivalent service and/or level of service from a third party) in order to enable Purchaser to promptly give (and thereafter Purchaser shall promptly give) its consent pursuant to clause (II) above.

SECTION 2.07. Force Majeure. The obligations of Seller to provide Transition Services shall be suspended during the period and to the extent that Seller (or the other relevant VeriSign Party) is prevented or hindered from providing such Transition Services by any Law or other cause beyond the control of Seller (or the other relevant VeriSign Party), including acts of God, strikes, lock-outs, other labor and industrial disputes and disturbances, civil disturbances, accidents, acts of war or conditions arising out of or attributable to war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, rebellion, insurrection, riot, invasion, fire, storm, flood, earthquake, shortage of necessary equipment, materials or labor, or restrictions thereon or limitations upon the use thereof, and delays in transportation. In such event, Seller shall give notice of suspension to ICX and Purchaser, as soon as reasonably practicable, stating the date and extent of such suspension and the cause thereof. Upon notice to ICX and Purchaser, Seller (or the relevant VeriSign Party) shall resume the provision of such Transition Services as soon as reasonably

practicable after the removal of such cause if and to the extent that the applicable Term for the provision of such Transaction Services has not expired.

SECTION 2.08. Information. During the Term, ICX and Purchaser shall provide Seller or the other relevant VeriSign Party with all information available to ICX and Purchaser reasonably requested by Seller or the other relevant VeriSign Party as reasonably necessary or desirable for the performance of the Transition Services. Seller shall be under no obligation to provide or make available any Transition Service to the extent that ICX and/or Purchaser have not provided information that Seller or the other relevant VeriSign Party, in its reasonable judgment, determines is reasonably necessary for the performance of such Transition Service.

SECTION 2.09. Access. To the extent reasonably required for VeriSign or the other relevant VeriSign Party to perform, or otherwise make available, the Transition Services, ICX and Purchaser shall (a) provide VeriSign or the other relevant VeriSign Party with reasonable access, on an as needed basis, to ICX’s and Purchaser’s equipment and licensed software (subject to Section 2.10), office space, plants, telecommunications and computer equipment and systems (subject to Section 6.17) and any other areas, (b) perform any tasks and provide any materials specified to be provided by ICX and/or Purchaser in a Transition Service Schedule and (c) cooperate with VeriSign or the other relevant VeriSign Party in the provision of the Transition Services.

SECTION 2.10. Use of Equipment. Seller or the other relevant VeriSign Party shall at all times during the relevant Term have the right to use any equipment owned or leased by ICX and/or Purchaser and software licensed by ICX and/or Purchaser solely for the purposes of providing the Transition Services hereunder, provided that Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all of Purchaser’s applicable policies and procedures related to the use of such equipment and software.

SECTION 2.11. Intellectual Property; Software Licenses. Except as included in the assets (i) owned by ICX, (ii) transferred to Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiaries pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, or (iii) otherwise licensed to Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiaries pursuant to the Intellectual Property License Agreement, as of the Closing, Seller shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all its intellectual property rights and nothing herein shall be deemed to grant to ICX and/or Purchaser any such rights; provided, however, that Seller hereby agrees to grant to ICX and/or Purchaser the nonexclusive right and license to use the software identified in the Transition Service Schedules for the Term set forth in each such Transition Service Schedule. ICX and Purchaser agree and acknowledge that certain services to be provided hereunder will require that Seller utilize software licensed to Seller. In the event ICX and Purchaser desire Seller to provide any Transition Service during the term of this Agreement that requires the use by Seller of software other than software used by Seller as of the Closing, where Seller does not then hold a license permitting Seller to use such software in order to provide such Transition Services, ICX and Purchaser further agree to secure from an appropriate software vendor such necessary software license. ICX and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the foregoing requirement is an express condition to Seller’s obligation to provide any Transition Service requiring the use of software other than the software used by Seller as of the Closing. Any determination by Seller to abide by the terms of any demand or other conditions received from a software vendor relating to the use of any vendor software to provide Transition Services shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement, provided that Seller notifies ICX and Purchaser of such demand or conditions.

SECTION 2.12. Contract Manager. Seller, on the one hand, and ICX and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall each appoint an individual to act as its primary point of operational contact for the administration and operation of this Agreement, as follows: each individual appointed by Seller or ICX and Purchaser, as applicable, as such Party’s primary point of operational contact pursuant to this Section 2.12 (each, a “Contract Manager”) shall have overall responsibility for coordinating for the Party he or she represents all activities undertaken by such Party hereunder, for the performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder, for coordinating the performance of the Transition Services, for acting as a day-to-day contact with the other Party and for making available to the other Party the data, facilities, resources and other support services required for the performance of the Transition Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Party may change its respective Contract Manager from time to time upon prompt written notice to the other Party.

SECTION 2.13. ICX Acknowledgment and Representation. ICX and/or Purchaser understand that the Transition Services provided hereunder are transitional in nature and are furnished by Seller solely for the purpose of accommodating the transfer of the Business from Seller to Purchaser’s group. ICX and/or Purchaser understand that Seller is not in the business of providing Transition Services to third parties and that Seller has no interest in continuing this Agreement beyond the stated Final Term. As a result, the Parties have allocated responsibilities and risks of loss and limited liabilities of Seller as stated in this Agreement based on the recognition that Seller is not in the business of providing Services to third parties. Such provisions are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between ICX and/or Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, and Seller would not be able or willing to provide the Transition Services without the protections provided to Seller by ICX and/or Purchaser by such provisions. During the term of this Agreement, ICX and/or Purchaser agree to make a transition to their own internal organization or other third party suppliers for the Transition Services.

ARTICLE III

COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES

SECTION 3.01. Fees. As compensation for each Transition Service to be provided pursuant hereto, ICX and/or Purchaser shall pay VeriSign and/or the relevant Subsidiary of VeriSign actually providing the Transition Services (as identified in the relevant Transition Service Schedule) the fees specified in the Transition Service Schedule relating to such Transition Service.

SECTION 3.02. Third-Party Charges. ICX and/or Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay or reimburse VeriSign for any third-party costs, fees, expenses, levies or charges VeriSign or its Subsidiaries may incur in connection with the provision of the Transition Services, including, but not limited to, charges from vendors, suppliers, carriers and contractors (the “Third-Party Charges”), regardless of whether such Third-Party Charges are specified in a Transition Service Schedule.

SECTION 3.03. Payments of Fees and Charges. Payment of the amounts due by ICX and/or Purchaser hereunder shall be made monthly, based on invoices issued by VeriSign and/or its relevant Subsidiaries to ICX and/or Purchaser in the manner set forth in Section 3.04. Any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made within 30 calendar days of the date of receipt by ICX and/or Purchaser of the relevant invoice. Without limiting other available remedies, Seller reserves the right to suspend performance under this Agreement upon failure of ICX and/or Purchaser to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement, unless ICX and/or Purchaser, in good faith, disputes such invoice.

SECTION 3.04. Invoices; Documentation. VeriSign shall, or shall cause its relevant Subsidiaries to, invoice ICX and/or Purchaser promptly after the end of each fiscal month for all charges for all Transition Services provided to ICX and/or Purchaser in the preceding fiscal month pursuant to this Agreement. From time to time on written request by ICX and/or Purchaser in respect of a Transition Service, VeriSign shall provide to ICX and/or Purchaser such information in VeriSign’s possession with respect to such invoices as ICX and/or Purchaser may reasonably request for the purpose of supporting the fees represented by such invoices and VeriSign shall make its personnel available to answer such questions as ICX and/or Purchaser may reasonably ask for such purpose.

SECTION 3.05. Taxes. The amounts set forth herein with respect to fees, charges, expenses and other amounts due hereunder are exclusive of all Taxes (other than taxes based on net income). ICX and Purchaser shall be responsible for and pay any Tax imposed as a result of its receipt of the Transition Services or with respect to the payments due to VeriSign or any VeriSign Subsidiary hereunder (other than VeriSign’s Taxes based on its net income). All payments due to VeriSign and any VeriSign Subsidiary shall be made without any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax except as required by Law in which case the sum payable by ICX and/or Purchaser in respect of which such deduction or withholding is to be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after making such deduction or withholding, VeriSign or the relevant VeriSign Subsidiary receives and retains (free from any liability in respect thereof) a net sum equal to the sum it would have received but for such deduction or withholding being required. Any Taxes required to be paid by VeriSign and any VeriSign Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement or the performance hereof (other than VeriSign’s Taxes based on its net income) will be promptly reimbursed to VeriSign and such VeriSign Subsidiary, as applicable, by ICX and/or Purchaser and such reimbursement shall be in addition to the amounts required to be paid by ICX and/or Purchaser as set forth in Section 3.01 and Section 3.02.

ARTICLE IV

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 4.01. Limitation of Liability.

(a) Unless a breach with respect to the performance or non-performance by Seller pursuant to this Agreement arises out of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, Seller’s maximum, cumulative and sole liability (based on breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort or any other legal or equitable theory) to ICX and/or

Purchaser for direct damages shall be an amount up to the total fees paid (as of the date of the performance or non-performance giving rise to the damage) by ICX and/or Purchaser to Seller pursuant to the Transition Services Schedule under which the performance or non-performance of any Transition Service resulted in direct damages to ICX and/or Purchaser. ICX and Purchaser acknowledge that such payment constitutes fair and reasonable compensation for any such damages. Notice of any claim for direct damages must be made within one month of the date of termination or expiration of the Transition Service which gave rise to the claim and such claim must specify the damage amount claimed and a description of the action and the service giving rise to the claim.

(b) Seller will in no event be liable to ICX and/or Purchaser, any of their Affiliates or any third party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, special or exemplary damages (even if it has been advised of the possibility of such damages) such as, but not limited to, loss of revenue or anticipated profits, loss of data or lost business, suffered by ICX and/or Purchaser arising out of this Agreement, regardless of whether the damages or other relief sought are based on breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort or any other legal or equitable theory.

SECTION 4.02. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN ANY APPLICABLE TRANSITION SERVICES SCHEDULE, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE NATURE OR QUALITY OF THE TRANSITION SERVICES OR THE RESULTS THAT WILL BE OBTAINED BY USING OR APPLYING THE TRANSITION SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ANY TRANSITION SERVICE COMPLIES WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION OR GOVERNMENT ORDER.

SECTION 4.03. Indemnification. Subject to Section 4.01 and 4.02, ICX and Purchaser agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless on an after tax basis each VeriSign Party and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “VeriSign Indemnitees”) from any and all claims, actions, demands, judgments, losses, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities (including attorneys fees and other expenses of litigation) arising out of or connected with the Transition Services supplied under this Agreement or in any way related to this Agreement, regardless of the legal theory asserted, including any claims by third parties relating to the Transition Services or claims by third parties that the provision of Transition Services breaches the terms or conditions of any agreement or the rights of any third party. This indemnity applies to claims, actions and demands for which the VeriSign Indemnitees may be, or may be claimed to be, partially or solely liable; provided that this indemnity will not, as to any VeriSign Indemnitee, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such VeriSign Indemnitee.

Exhibit E

Asset and Liability Accounts Included in the Working Capital;

Calculation Principles; Estimated and Final Working Capital (Adjustment)

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Acquisition Agreement dated August 24, 2009, to which this Exhibit is attached (the “Agreement”).

This Exhibit sets forth:

1)	a list of certain asset and liability accounts of the Business that will be taken into account in determining the Working Capital for the purposes of the Agreement; and

2)	the accounting principles, methodologies and policies used in the determination of such accounts (the “Calculation Principles”); and

3)	a form to be used for calculating the Estimated and Final Working Capital and the Estimated and Final Working Capital Adjustment.

1. Working Capital

For purposes of determining the Estimated and Final Working Capital, the Working Capital of the Business shall be calculated as of the Closing Date, prior to the application of purchase accounting and without giving effect to the impact of the Transactions, as an amount equal to (i) the sum of the balance of each asset account included in Transferred Assets or the assets of ICX identified in Paragraph 1.A below minus (ii) the sum of the balance of each liability account included in Assumed Liabilities or the Liabilities of ICX identified in Paragraph 1.B below. The Working Capital may be a negative number. The asset and liability accounts listed below shall be determined in accordance with US GAAP with the exception of specific policies as detailed in the Calculation Principles set forth in Paragraph 2 below.

2. Calculation Principles

Trade Accounts Receivable and Receivable Reserves

Trade accounts receivable are equal to a gross amount of receivables, which is based on the total recorded amounts invoiced to customers. Trade receivables may also include estimated unbilled receivable. Unbilled receivables will be determined and valued consistent with past practices of the Business.

Receivable reserves include (i) a reserve for doubtful accounts which will be applied to trade accounts receivable and is based upon both specific and general reserves ( specific reserves are for specific doubtful accounts greater than $5,000 and over 61 days past due; general reserves are applied at 10 percent for accounts that are 91-270 days past due and at 40% for accounts that are over 270 days past due), and (ii) a reserve against revenue consisting of (a) an amount related to specific customer issues consistent with past practice and (b) a [***] of [***] representing the maximum obligation under the [***] contract with [***].

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses are the costs of assets acquired by and paid for by the Business in one period and expensed in a future period over future periods according to US GAAP.

Trade and Other Accounts Payable

Trade accounts payable ledger represents balances owed by VeriSign or its Affiliates for goods and/or services purchased for the Business. The accounts payable ledger is supported by vendor invoices.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues represent balances that have been invoiced to customers of the Business for contracted services in which VeriSign or its Affiliates has not fully recognized the revenue for GAAP accounting purposes and are primarily for setup fees, licensing fees, and PICS services. Revenues of the Business are recognized ratably over the period in which the services are provided.

For purposes of calculating the Working Capital, only 10% of the reported deferred revenue amount shall be included.

3. Format for Calculation of Estimated and Final Working Capital and Estimated and Final Working Capital Adjustment

Below is the form for the calculation of the Estimated and Final Working Capital and the Estimated and Final Working Capital Adjustment.


Account		Amount as of Closing (In $)
Trade Accounts Receivable, net of Receivable Reserves Prepaid Expenses


Total Current Asset Accounts

Trade accounts payable Accrued Expenses Deferred Revenues


Total Liability Accounts (current and non-current portion)


[Estimated][Final] Working Capital [Estimated][Final] Working Capital Adjustment:

• If [Estimated][Final] Working Capital is between $20,500,00 and $21,500,000, the [Estimated][Final] Working Capital Adjustment is equal to zero.

Exhibit E-3


• If [Estimated][Final] Working Capital is greater than $21,500,000, the [Estimated][Final] Working Capital Adjustment is equal to [Estimated][Final] Working Capital *minus* $21,500,000.
