----------------------
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, at the Closing, Intergraph will sell, transfer, assign
and deliver to SCI, and SCI will purchase, acquire and accept
from Intergraph, all of the right, title and interest of
Intergraph in and to the Assets, in each case free and clear of

Schedule will be updated upon preparation of the Adjustment

exclusively in the conduct of the Business which are separately
identifiable and are not integrated within the other Books and

warranties, representations and guarantees made by suppliers,
manufacturers and contractors, to the extent such warranties,
representations and guarantees relate to the Assets; and
(f) The Claims of Intergraph, whether arising before or after
the Closing, to the extent such Claims relate to the Assets or
the Business and are necessary to assure to SCI after the Closing
the full title, ownership, possession and benefit of the Assets.
1.2 Excluded Assets.
---------------
Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, SCI shall not acquire, and there shall be
excluded from the Assets, Intergraph's interest in the Excluded
Assets. The term "Excluded Assets" means all cash, real estate,
notes, accounts receivable, minute and stock records, Benefit
Plans, and any property of Intergraph which is not specifically
identified in Section 1.1 as an Asset. The term "Excluded
Assets" also includes all Claims of Intergraph related to the
Intel litigation (as described in Section 7.5(h)).
1.3 Limited Assumption of Liabilities.
---------------------------------
(a) Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, SCI agrees that, on the Closing Date, SCI shall
assume and hereafter pay, perform or discharge when due or
required to be performed, as the case may be, only the following
obligations and liabilities of Intergraph to the extent existing
on the Closing Date (the "Assumed Liabilities"):
(i) Obligations under Business Contracts. Those obligations of
Intergraph under the Business Contracts identified on Schedule
1.1(c) arising and to be performed on or after the Closing Date.
(ii) Employee Obligations. Those liabilities and obligations of
Intergraph expressly assumed by SCI pursuant to Section 7.5.
(iii)Obligations under Existing Purchase Orders.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.3(a)(i), only those
purchase orders which (a) Intergraph has issued to vendors for
materials and components matching the bills of materials for
Intergraph's Current Products and (b) are in quantities that
support the initial purchase order by Intergraph under the
Manufacturing Services Agreement less any equivalent materials
and components comprising part of the Inventory, such purchase
orders being identified on Schedule 1.3(a)(iii), (which the
Parties acknowledge has not been completed as of the Closing, but
which the Parties agree to use their reasonable best efforts to
agree to in good faith by not later than November 20, 1998 (and
effective as of the Closing Date)).
(b) Assignment of Defenses. In the event of any Claim against
SCI with respect to any of the Assumed Liabilities, SCI shall
have, and Intergraph hereby assigns to SCI, any defense,
counterclaim, or right of setoff which would have been available
to Intergraph if such Claim had been asserted against Intergraph.
(c) Third-Party Rights. The assumption by SCI of the Assumed
Liabilities, and the transfer thereof by Intergraph, shall in no
way expand the rights or remedies of any third party against SCI
or Intergraph or their respective officers, directors, employees,
stockholders and advisors as compared to the rights and remedies
which such third party would have had against such parties had
SCI not assumed such liabilities. Without limiting the generality
of the preceding sentence, the assumption by SCI of the Assumed
Liabilities and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents shall not create any third-party
beneficiary rights. Intergraph shall retain and shall pay and
discharge when due, or contest in good faith, all of those
liabilities of Intergraph which SCI has not specifically agreed
to assume pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.3.
1.4 Liabilities Not Assumed.

not assuming, and Intergraph shall remain solely liable for, the

environmental liabilities or contamination which arise or result,
directly or indirectly, from contamination existing at any
facility owned, operated, leased or used by Intergraph prior to
the Closing Date; (ii) all warranty Claims and all product
liability Claims for personal injury or property damage which
arise or result, directly or indirectly, from products sold or
delivered prior to the Closing Date; (iii) except to the extent
expressly set forth in Section 7.5, all liabilities of Intergraph
relating in any way to all Benefit Plans, including, without
limitation, post-retirement benefits and post-employment
benefits, if any, for employees of Intergraph who have retired,
resigned, or been terminated prior to the Closing Date; (iv)
except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 7.5, any
Claims or liability relating to employees of Intergraph relating
to the period prior to the Closing Date, including, without

foregoing, any other liability of Intergraph not expressly
assumed by SCI pursuant to Section 1.3.
ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Purchase Price.
--------------
The aggregate purchase price for the Assets (the "Purchase
Price") will be equal to (a) the combined Agreed to Value of the
Tangible Property plus the Preliminary Net Book Value of the
Inventory (combined, the "Preliminary Net Worth") plus (b)
$5,000,000 (the "Tax Basis Inventory Adjustment") plus (c) the
Contract Sales Price Adjustment plus (d) the amount of the
Inventory Value Protection Premium (if any) determined pursuant
to Section 2.3(e) minus (e) the Net Book Value of the Consigned
Property. The Purchase Price will be subject to the Purchase
Price Adjustment (if any) set forth in Section 2.3 and will be
reduced at Closing by the value of accrued vacation time for
Hired Employees as listed on Schedule 2.1 (the "Vacation
Accrual") and the SCI E&O Offset.
2.2 Payment of Purchase Price.
-------------------------
(a) At the Closing, SCI shall pay to Intergraph by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account specified by
Intergraph cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Tax
Basis Inventory Adjustment, plus (ii) the Agreed to Value of the
Tangible Property, plus (iii) 33.34% of the Preliminary Net Book
Value of the Inventory (the "First Inventory Payment"), minus
(iv) the Net Book Value of the Consigned Property, minus (v) the
amount of the Vacation Accrual, minus (vi) the SCI E&O Offset.
(b) On each of the thirtieth (30th) day following the Closing
Date and the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date, SCI
shall pay to Intergraph an amount equal to one-third of the
Preliminary Net Book Value of the Inventory; provided, however,
that if on or prior to either of such payment dates there has
been a final determination of the Final Net Book Value of the
Inventory under Section 2.3, the amount to be paid under this
Section 2.2(b) shall be adjusted to reflect the then remaining,
unpaid, difference between the Final Net Book Value of the
Inventory and the sum of (i) the amount of the First Inventory
Payment and (ii) the amount of any prior payments pursuant to
this Section 2.2(b).
(c) Following the Closing, SCI shall provide to Intergraph the
Contract Sales Price Adjustment as set forth in Section 10.1.
2.3 Determination of Final Net Worth, Purchase Price Adjustment
-----------------------------------------------------------
and Inventory Value Protection Premium.
--------------------------------------
(a) The Purchase Price due to Intergraph shall be ratably (i)
reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that the Final
Net Worth (as determined below) as of the commencement of
business on the Closing Date is less than the Preliminary Net
Worth, (ii) increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent
that the Final Net Worth as of the commencement of business on
the Closing Date exceeds the Preliminary Net Worth, and (iii)
increased by the amount, if any, of the Inventory Value
Protection Premium under Section 2.3(e). Any increase or
decrease in the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)
shall be referred to as a "Purchase Price Adjustment".
(b) Not later than 20 days after the Closing Date, SCI shall
cause to be prepared and delivered to Intergraph a schedule
setting forth the Final Net Worth determined as of the opening of
business on the Closing Date (the "Adjustment Schedule"). "Final
Net Worth" means the combined Agreed to Value of the Tangible
Property plus the Final Net Book Value of the Inventory. The
Final Net Worth shall be determined based upon the Books and
Records of Intergraph and in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied and shall take into account any net increase or net
decrease in the Net Book Value of the Inventory from the
Determination Date through the opening of business on the Closing
Date. In connection with SCI's preparation of the Adjustment
Schedule, Intergraph will provide SCI access during normal
business hours to all of the Books and Records of Intergraph
relating to the matters set forth in and necessary for SCI's
completion of the Adjustment Schedule. The Parties acknowledge
that in connection with its preparation of the Adjustment
Schedule, SCI intends to conduct a physical inventory with
respect to the items of Inventory identified as Documentation and
Other in Legacy Systems on Schedule 1.1(a). Additionally, the
Parties acknowledge that the Inventory contains certain inventory
identified as "blocked inventory" (the "Blocked Inventory"),
which Blocked Inventory is separately designated as "BLKD" on
Schedule 1.1(a). Following the Closing, and in connection with
its preparation of the Adjustment Schedule, SCI will make a
determination (subject to Intergraph's reasonable approval) as to
whether each item of the Blocked Inventory shall be treated as
scrap or defective inventory hereunder (valued at $0) or whether
such items of Blocked Inventory will be treated as Inventory and
included in the calculation of the Final Net Book Value of the
Inventory.
(c) Within 10 Business Days of Intergraph's receipt of the
Adjustment Schedule, Intergraph may deliver written notice (the
"Protest Notice") to SCI of any specific objections, and the
basis therefor, which Intergraph may have to the Adjustment
Schedule. In the absence of such Protest Notice within the 10
Business Day period, Intergraph shall be deemed to have accepted
the Adjustment Schedule and the calculation of Final Net Worth.
Upon receipt of the Adjustment Schedule and until the final
determination of the Final Net Worth, Intergraph will be given
reasonable access to all of the Books and Records in SCI's
possession directly relating to the Adjustment Schedule during
reasonable business hours for the purpose of verifying the
Adjustment Schedule.
(d) If Intergraph and SCI are unable to resolve any disagreement
with respect to the Adjustment Schedule within 15 Business Days
following SCI's receipt of the Protest Notice, then any items in
dispute will be referred to the Atlanta, Georgia office of
Deloitte & Touche, LLP (the "Accountants") for final
determination within 30 days after such referral, which
determination shall be final and binding on SCI and Intergraph.
Each Party shall bear its own expenses in connection with any
protest pursuant to this Section 2.3(d). The fees and expenses
of the Accountants shall be borne by the losing Party or, to the
extent each Party prevails in part, each Party shall pay the fees
and expenses to the extent it is the losing Party, as determined
by the Accountants.
(e) Within ten (10) Business Days following the final
determination of the Final Net Worth, (i) if the Final Net Worth
exceeds the Preliminary Net Worth, SCI shall pay to Intergraph
the amount of any such excess by wire transfer of funds as
specified in writing by Intergraph, and (ii) if the Final Net
Worth is less than the Preliminary Net Worth, Intergraph shall
pay to SCI the amount of any such deficit (the "Deficit") by wire
transfer of funds as specified in writing by SCI. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no further adjustment shall be made to the extent
that the amount due the respective Parties has been adjusted and
satisfied pursuant to Section 2.2(b). In addition to the
foregoing, if the Final Net Book Value of the Inventory is less
than $70,000,000, SCI shall pay to Intergraph by wire transfer of
funds as specified in writing by Intergraph (or credit as an
offset to any payment due from Intergraph with respect to a
Deficit) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the difference
between $70,000,000 and the Final Net Book Value of the Inventory
(the "Inventory Value Protection Premium").

(5) years following the Closing, it shall not destroy or

intended disposition and by offering to deliver to the other
Parties, at the other Parties' expense, custody of such Books and
Records as such Party may intend to destroy.

of any required tax returns in connection with all of

shall reimburse Intergraph for Madison County, Alabama personal
property taxes in an amount determined by multiplying
Intergraph's total Madison County, Alabama personal property
taxes due on the Tangible Property on October 1, 1999 by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between

Claims or in connection with any audit. Such cooperation and
information shall include providing copies of all relevant Tax
Returns, and other documents and records, or portions thereof,
relating to the Business. Each Party will retain all returns,
schedules and work papers and all material records or other
documents relating to Tax matters of the Business for the taxable
year of Intergraph ending after the Closing Date and for all

limitations of the taxable years to which such Tax Returns and
other documents relate (and, to the extent notified by the other
Party in writing, any extensions thereof). Any information
obtained under this Section 7.3(b) shall be kept confidential,
except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the
filing of Tax Returns or Claims for refund or in conducting an
audit or other proceeding.

filed with governmental authorities or its financial statements,
it is necessary that either Party be furnished with additional
information relating to the Assets and such information is in the
possession of the other Party, such other Party agrees to use its
reasonable efforts to furnish such information in a timely manner
to the Party reasonably requiring such information, at the cost
and expense of the Party requiring such information.

necessary to minimize or obtain an exemption from any sales, use
or other transfer taxes that arise with respect to the Assets.

----------------------------
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, neither this
Agreement nor any document or instrument delivered pursuant
hereto shall constitute an assignment of any Business Contract or
any Claim or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting
therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof without the consent
of any other Person would constitute a breach thereof or in any
way adversely affect the rights to be assigned. Until such
consent is obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereunder
would be ineffective or would affect the rights of Intergraph
thereunder so that SCI would not in fact receive all such rights,
Intergraph and SCI will cooperate with each other to provide for
SCI the benefits of, and to permit SCI to assume all prospective
obligations under, any such Business Contract or Claim, including
enforcement at the request and expense of SCI for the benefit of
SCI of any and all rights of Intergraph against a third party
thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such
third party; and any transfer or assignment to SCI by Intergraph
of any property or property rights or any Commitment which shall
require the consent or approval of any third party shall be made
subject to such consent or approval being obtained.
7.5 Employee Matters.
----------------
(a) SCI shall offer employment to each Business Employee
effective as of the Closing Date at salaries and wages the same
as those provided by Intergraph as of the Closing, provided
however that those Business Employees who are on leaves of

return from leave of absence within twelve (12) weeks (or twenty-
six (26) weeks if the leave of absence is due to personal medical
disability) of the date their leave of absence began, and

employees under its benefit plans and arrangements while such
employees are on leave of absence in accordance with the terms of
such plans and arrangements. Effective as of the Closing Date,
SCI shall hire all Business Employees who accept SCI's offer of
employment. Each Business Employee who accepts employment and
becomes an employee of SCI is herein referred to as a "Hired

W.A.R.N. Act and shall defend and indemnify Intergraph from any
liability thereunder which is caused by an action of SCI.
(b) Effective as of the Closing Date, each Hired Employee shall
be eligible for SCI's existing compensation, severance and
benefit plans and arrangements in accordance with the terms of
each respective plan, except as provided herein.
(c) Without limiting the foregoing, SCI and Intergraph agree as
follows: (i) SCI agrees that all service of a Hired Employee with
Intergraph shall be recognized by SCI for all employee benefits
purposes including, without limitation, participation, vesting,
and benefit accrual (other than for purposes of defined benefit
pension plans) according to the terms of the SCI employee benefit
plans, (ii) during the six (6) month period following the Closing
Date, SCI will offer employment at one of SCI's, or one of its
Affiliates', Huntsville, Alabama facilities to any Hired
Employees whose services SCI determines are in excess for use at
the Facility or in the Business; (iii) SCI will credit to each
Hired Employee the equivalent number of vacation hours that such
Hired Employee had accrued, but not used, as of the Closing Date;
provided however, that beginning two years from the Closing Date
all such unused and accrued vacation will be subject to SCI's
normal policies with respect to the carryover of unused and
accrued vacation from year to year; (iv) SCI will credit to each
Hired Employee the equivalent number of sick leave hours that
such Hired Employee has accrued, but has not used, as of the
Closing Date, up to a maximum of 80 hours; (v) SCI will waive all
waiting periods, limitations with respect to pre-existing
conditions and all other conditions applicable to Hired Employees
participating in Intergraph's existing medical benefit plans and
arrangements; and (vi) for purposes of the plan year which
includes the Closing Date, when calculating deductibles and
maximum coinsurance under SCI medical benefit plans, SCI will
consider all deductible and coinsurance payments made by Hired
Employees under the Intergraph medical benefit plans as though
they were made under the SCI medical benefit plans.
(d) Intergraph shall retain all COBRA and other Liability with
regard to (i) any Business Employees whose employment is
terminated prior to the Closing Date, (ii) any Business Employees
who do not accept SCI's offer of employment, (iii) any
contractors and temporary employees of the Business who do not
become Hired Employees; and (iv) any Business Employees who are
on leaves of absence on the Closing Date until such time as they
become employees of SCI.
(e) SCI will promptly review the qualifications of the
contractors and temporary employees of the Business identified on
Schedule 4.13(b) for potential employment and shall notify
Intergraph of the results of its review, but shall have no
obligation to offer employment to any such person and shall have
no Liability to such persons or to Intergraph with respect to
such persons.
(f) (i) As soon as practicable after the Closing
Date, Intergraph will, if necessary, amend its 401(k) Plan (the
"Intergraph 401(k)") to transfer to SCI's qualified savings plan
(the "Savings Plan") an amount in cash and in kind to the extent
participant loans have been made from the Intergraph 401(K),
unless otherwise agreed by Intergraph and SCI, equal to the
account balance of Hired Employees in the Intergraph 401(k),
valued as of the most recent valuation date preceding the date
the transfer is made to the Savings Plan (but not earlier than
the Closing Date). Until such valuation date occurs, the account
of each Hired Employee will continue to accrue, at the rate of
return of the investment option(s) selected by such Hired
Employee in accordance with the terms of the Intergraph 401(k).
Anything in this subsection (f)(i) to the contrary
notwithstanding, if SCI provides notice to Intergraph that SCI
has not, in good faith, been able to arrange for the "Transfer"
(as defined below in subsection (f)(ii) hereof) into the Savings
Plan, then such Transfer shall not be executed until appropriate
arrangements are made. Prior to the Transfer, SCI shall deliver
to Intergraph a copy of the most recently issued IRS
determination letter (or other evidence satisfactory to counsel
to Intergraph) that the Savings Plan is qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code.
(ii) If necessary, the Savings Plan will be amended to permit the
transfer of assets and liabilities from the Intergraph 401(k) to
the Savings Plan and to ensure, in accordance with Section
411(d)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), that
no Hired Employee will receive an accrued benefit less than the
accrued benefit the Hired Employee would be entitled to receive
under the Intergraph 401(k) as of the date immediately prior to
the date the Transfer occurs. Such transfer of plan assets and
liabilities and the acceptance of such assets and assumption of
such liabilities shall hereinafter be referred to as the
"Transfer".
(iii) The Transfer will be accomplished in full compliance
with the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), the Code, and
regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. Further,
Intergraph and SCI agree to cooperate fully and to file in a
timely manner whatever reports, forms and notices as are
necessary under applicable law as a result of, and to effect, the
Transfer. The Transfer will be accomplished by way of a single
transfer of plan assets (either cash and promissory notes or in
kind) and will not occur until the Hired Employees' account
balances under the Intergraph 401(k) have been determined, except
to the extent that subsequent transfers between the two trusts
are required to reconcile any errors in the calculations or data.
(iv) At the time of the Transfer and effective as of the Closing
Date, Intergraph will fully vest the unvested portion of
Intergraph's contributions to each Hired Employee's retirement
account.
(v) Following the Closing, except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement Intergraph shall have no further obligations to SCI
with respect to the Hired Employees.
(vi) Each Party acknowledges that nothing contained in this
Section 7.5 shall require the Parties to violate the terms of
their respective employee benefit plans or any applicable law.
(g) Intergraph agrees to provide to SCI in a timely manner all
information for each Hired Employee, including without
limitation, the account balance under the Intergraph 401(k) as of
the applicable valuation date, vesting service and any other
employee information required by SCI to determine benefits
payable from the Savings Plan. Intergraph shall deliver such
information to SCI by means of magnetic tape or other electronic
means as SCI may reasonably require.
(h) Following the Closing, SCI shall provide to Intergraph
reasonable access to any Hired Employee having knowledge of facts
relevant to that certain action of Intergraph Corporation v.
Intel Corporation, CV 97-N-3023-NE, and any Books and Records
related thereto, provided that such access does not cause any
material interruption to the performance by such Hired Employee
of his or her employment duties or cause any material
interruption of SCI's performance of its obligations under the
Manufacturing Services Agreement. Intergraph shall reimburse SCI
for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by SCI in connection with
this Section 7.5(h).
(i) Following the Closing, each Party shall promptly notify the
other Party when it receives notice from a Business Employee that
such Business Employee intends to accept SCI's offer of
employment or does not intend to accept SCI's offer of
employment.
7.6 Exclusive Manufacturing Services.
--------------------------------
Intergraph shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to
discontinue on a timely basis (but without need to cause any
breach or early termination of any binding outsourcing
agreements, in existence as of the date of this Agreement, each
of which, together with their respective expiration dates, is
listed on Schedule 7.6) using the services of any Person other
than SCI to provide those Products to be provided by SCI under
the Manufacturing Services Agreement, and shall use all
reasonable commercial efforts to transfer such work to SCI
promptly following the Closing.
ARTICLE 8
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
------------------------------------------
All representations and warranties of Intergraph and SCI
contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing until the
second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that
(a) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.3,
4.4, 4.9, 4.15, 4.20, 4.22, 5.2 and 5.3 shall survive until
thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable
statutes of limitations (including any extensions thereof), and
(b) any representation or warranty that would otherwise terminate
in accordance with this Section 8.1 will continue to survive if a
Claim Notice shall have been given under this Article 8 on or
prior to such termination date, until the related Claim for
indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as
provided in this Article 8.
8.2 Indemnification of SCI.
----------------------
Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 8,
Intergraph agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SCI and
its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors,
employees and shareholders, and their respective successors and
assigns, from and against any and all Liabilities which, directly
or indirectly, arise out of, result from or relate to:
(a) Any breach of any representation or warranty made by
Intergraph in the Transaction Documents or any Delivered Item
furnished by Intergraph pursuant to the Transaction Documents;
(b) Any breach by Intergraph of any covenant or obligation of
Intergraph contained in the Transaction Documents; or
(c) Any failure by Intergraph to satisfy when due the Excluded
Liabilities.
8.3 Indemnification of Intergraph.
-----------------------------
Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 8, SCI
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Intergraph and its
Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees
and shareholders, and their respective successors and assigns
from and against any and all Liabilities which, directly or
indirectly, arise out of, result from or relate to:
(a) Any breach of any representation or warranty made by SCI in
the Transaction Documents or any Delivered Item furnished by SCI
pursuant to the Transaction Documents;
(b) Any breach by SCI of any covenant or obligation of SCI
contained in the Transaction Documents; or
(c) Any failure by SCI to satisfy when due the Assumed
Liabilities.
8.4 Indemnification Procedure for Third-Party Claims.
------------------------------------------------
(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section
8.2 or 8.3, of notice of the commencement of any Action or
Proceeding against it, the indemnified party shall, if a Claim is
to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section 8.2
or 8.3, as applicable, give notice to the indemnifying party of
the commencement of such Claim, but the failure to notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any
Liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to
the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the
defense of such Action or Proceeding is materially prejudiced by
the indemnifying party's failure to give such notice.
(b) If any Action or Proceeding referred to in Section 8.4(a) is
brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the
indemnifying party of the commencement of such Action or
Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate in such Action or Proceeding and, to the extent that
it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to
such Action or Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in
good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or
(ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance
to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such
Action or Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to
such Action or Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Action
or Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party
and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified
party of its election to assume the defense of such Action or
Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it
diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified
party under this Section 8.4 for any fees of other counsel or any
other expenses with respect to the defense of such Action or
Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified
party in connection with the defense of such Action or
Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the
indemnifying party assumes the defense of an Action or
Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes
of this Agreement that the Claims made in that Action or
Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to
indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Claims
may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified
party's consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of
any violation of Law or Order or any violation of the rights of
any Person and no effect on any other Claims that may be made
against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided
is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying
party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no Liability
with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Claims
effected without its consent. If notice is given to an
indemnifying party of the commencement of any Action or
Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten (10)
days after the indemnified party's notice is given, give notice
to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of
such Action or Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound
by any determination made in such Action or Proceeding or any
compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party
determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability
that an Action or Proceeding may adversely affect it or its
affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which
it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the
indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party,
assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such
Action or Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be
bound by any determination of an Action or Proceeding so defended
or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent
(which may not be unreasonably withheld).
(d) Intergraph and SCI hereby consent to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any court in which an Action or Proceeding is
brought against any indemnified person for purposes of any Claim
that an indemnified person may have under this Agreement with
respect to such Action or Proceeding or the matters alleged
therein, and agree that process may be served on Intergraph or
SCI with respect to such a Claim anywhere in the world.
(e) The Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any third-
party Claim and shall furnish such records, information and
testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings,
hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in
connection with the provisions of this Article 8.
8.5 Indemnification Procedure for Other Claims.
------------------------------------------
A Claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a
third-party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from
whom indemnification is sought by giving written notice to the
Party describing in reasonable detail the basis for the Claim.
8.6 Limitations on Indemnification.
------------------------------
(a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
this Article 8, Intergraph shall not have any obligation to
indemnify SCI for any Liabilities relating to or caused by the
breach of any of Intergraph's representations or warranties
contained in this Agreement until SCI has suffered Liabilities in
the aggregate in excess of $25,000 (the "Basket") related to or
caused by such breaches. If the total Liabilities suffered by
SCI as a result of such breaches exceed the Basket, then
Intergraph shall be liable for all such Liabilities, including
the first dollar of loss.
(b) The amount which may be recovered from Intergraph pursuant
to Section 8.2 in respect of any breach of the representations
and warranties of Intergraph contained in this Agreement shall
not in the aggregate exceed $25,000,000.
(c) The limitations contained in this Section 8.6 shall not
apply to any Liabilities resulting from any breaches by
Intergraph of any representations and warranties (i) if
Intergraph knew at the time such representations and warranties
were made or on the Closing Date that such representations and
warranties were untrue, or (ii) related to Intergraph's title to
the Assets, and shall not apply to any breaches by Intergraph of
any of its covenants contained in this Agreement, including,
without limitation, Intergraph's covenants contained in Article
10.
ARTICLE 9
NON-COMPETITION PROVISIONS
9.1 Noncompetition.
--------------
In order to induce SCI to enter into this Agreement,
Intergraph expressly covenants and agrees that from and after the
Closing Date and during the term of the Manufacturing Services
Agreement, Intergraph will not, directly or indirectly, engage in
or have any interest in any Person, whether as a partner, agent,
security holder or consultant, that is engaged in the manufacture
of the Products in the United States of America and any other
countries in which Intergraph currently conducts the Business or
contemplates engaging in the Business; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Intergraph from
acquiring through market purchases and owning, solely as an
investment, less than five percent (5%) in the aggregate of the
equity securities of any class of any issuer whose shares are
registered under 13(b) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act,
and are listed or admitted for trading on any United States
national securities exchange or are quoted on the NASDAQ, or any
similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of
securities prices in common use, so long as neither of them is a
member of any "control group" (within the meaning of the rules
and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission) of any such issuer.
9.2 Non-Solicitation.
----------------
For a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date,
(i) Intergraph will not without the prior written approval of an
authorized officer of SCI, directly or indirectly, for itself or
for any other Person (other than SCI or any of its Affiliates),
solicit for employment any employee of SCI or its Affiliates
until such Person's employment with SCI or its Affiliates has
ended, and (ii) SCI will not without the prior written approval
of an authorized officer of Intergraph, directly or indirectly,
for itself or for any other Person (other than Intergraph or any
of its Affiliates), solicit for employment any employees of
Intergraph or its Affiliates until such Person's employment with
Intergraph or its Affiliates has ended. Each Party acknowledges
that, on an individual employee basis, SCI may with the prior
written approval of an authorized officer of Intergraph solicit
such Intergraph employees who are in the determination of the
Parties important to the conduct of the Business.
9.3 Scope, Consideration and Enforcement.
------------------------------------
(a) Each Party acknowledges that the other Party has agreed to
enter into this Agreement based, in part, on the Parties'
agreement to the restrictive covenants and other agreements
contained in this Article 9. Each Party also acknowledges that
the covenants contained in this Article 9 are reasonable in scope
and duration.
(b) If any covenant in this Article 9 is held to be
unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant
will be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time,
and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time or geographic
area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may
determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public
policy, will be effective, binding, and enforceable against the
Parties.
(c) The Parties agree and acknowledge that money damages may not
be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this
Article 9 and that the Party suffering harm may in its sole
discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent
jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in
order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of
this Article 9.
ARTICLE 10
INVENTORY MATTERS AND TERMINATION OF
MANUFACTURING SERVICES AGREEMENT
10.1 Contract Sales Price Adjustment.
-------------------------------
After the Closing, and in connection with SCI's re-sale of
the Inventory to Intergraph pursuant to the terms of the
Manufacturing Services Agreement, SCI shall discount all
Inventory purchased by SCI from Intergraph under this Agreement
by reducing the selling prices for such items of Inventory by ten
percent (10%) (collectively, the "Contract Sales Price
Adjustment") as further described in the Manufacturing Services
Agreement. The Contract Sales Price Adjustment will serve as an
additional part of the Purchase Price paid by SCI for the Assets
pursuant to Article 2.
10.2 Inventory Put Option.
--------------------
(a) Option. SCI shall have the option (the "Inventory Put
Option") to sell to Intergraph (i) all Inventory (other than the
Obsolete Inventory) purchased by SCI at Closing and (ii) all
Excess Purchase Order Inventory, which has not been utilized in
the manufacture and sale of finished goods (collectively, the
"Unused Inventory") within six (6) months from the Closing Date
(the "Inventory Put Period"); provided, however, that the Unused
Inventory shall be deemed to be reduced by:
(i) the amount of inventory of the same kind, or suitable for
the same purpose, if any, purchased by SCI following the Closing
Date and used in substitution for the Unused Inventory (other
than substitutions with respect to defective Inventory, which
shall not be deemed to reduce the Unused Inventory);
(ii) the amount of Inventory, if any, lost, stolen, destroyed or
otherwise damaged during the Inventory Put Period; and
(iii)the amount of Inventory, if any (the "Covered
Inventory"), to be utilized by SCI after the Inventory Put Period
pursuant to reasonable and bona fide firm purchase orders from
Intergraph received by SCI during the Inventory Put Period to be
shipped within ninety (90) days of the end of the Inventory Put
Period (the "Covered Period"); provided, further, that any
Covered Inventory which has not actually been utilized within the
Covered Period shall also be deemed Unused Inventory and subject
to SCI's Inventory Put Option at the conclusion of the Covered
Period.
(b) Identification of Unused Inventory. In identifying the
Unused Inventory for the purposes of the Inventory Put Option,
the purchased Inventory shall be deemed to be used prior to any
other inventory of the same kind, or suitable for the same
purpose, as the Inventory acquired by SCI for use in the
manufacture of the Products following the Closing Date.
(c) Exercise of Option. The Inventory Put Option may be
exercised by SCI within thirty (30) days after the expiration of
the Inventory Put Period (and, with respect to the Covered
Inventory, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the
Covered Period) by sending a notice in writing to Intergraph
specifying (i) the identity of the Unused Inventory, and (ii) the
original purchase cost of the Unused Inventory (the "Inventory
Put Purchase Price"), together with an officer's certificate,
signed by an officer of SCI, certifying that the Unused Inventory
has been calculated and determined in accordance with this
Section 10.2(c). Intergraph shall either (i) pay to SCI the
Inventory Put Purchase Price, within 10 Business Days of receipt
of each notice of exercise of the Inventory Put Option, or (ii)
send a written notice to SCI within ten (10) Business Days of
receipt of each notice of exercise of the Inventory Put Option
that it objects to the calculation of the Inventory Put Purchase
Price, failing which Intergraph shall be deemed to have accepted
the Inventory Put Purchase Price calculation. Any such written
notice of objection from Intergraph must state (a) the specific
items of Unused Inventory which Intergraph contends should not be
included within the Inventory to be repurchased, and (b) the
basis for its position with respect to each of such items of
Unused Inventory, which will be limited to matters of the nature
described in Section 10.2(a)(i) - (iii) above. In addition, any
such written notice of objection must be accompanied by payment
in full for the items of Unused Inventory which are not subject
to such written notice of objection. SCI will return to
Intergraph the items of Unused Inventory upon receipt from
Intergraph of payment of the Inventory Put Purchase Price for
such items.
(d) Objection to Inventory Put Purchase Price. If Intergraph
objects to the Inventory Put Purchase Price calculation pursuant
to Section 10.2(c), then either Party may refer the matter in
writing to the Accountants, who will promptly resolve the issue
after discussions with each Party and in consideration of the
concerns of each Party, and will prepare an Inventory Put
Purchase Price schedule which shall be final and binding on the
Parties. Intergraph shall pay to SCI the amount of the Inventory
Put Purchase Price determined by the Accountants within 10
Business Days of any such determination.
10.3 Payments in Connection with Termination of Manufacturing
--------------------------------------------------------
Services Agreement.
------------------
If Intergraph defaults in any material respect under or
terminates the Manufacturing Services Agreement without cause
prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, in addition
to any other remedies available to SCI under the Manufacturing
Services Agreement, SCI shall have the right to require
Intergraph to refund to SCI in cash the amount of the Premium
paid by SCI to Intergraph pursuant to this Agreement, along with
all other reasonable and customary start-up expenses incurred by
SCI in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Manufacturing Services
Agreement (which expenses shall include by way of example items
of the type identified on Schedule 10.3). All amounts paid to
SCI pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be prorated, based upon
the number of months completed from the Closing Date through the
date of the material default under or termination of the
Manufacturing Services Agreement. Thus, by way of example only,
if the Manufacturing Services Agreement is terminated after the
eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date and before the
nineteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date, then Intergraph
shall pay to SCI fifty percent (50%) of the Premium and the
reasonable and customary start-up expenses incurred by SCI in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the Manufacturing Services Agreement.
10.4 Post-Closing Purchase of Consigned Tangible Property.
----------------------------------------------------
Following the Closing, Intergraph shall, upon the
termination of its outsourcing arrangement with Solectron, Inc.,
as described on Schedule 7.6, transfer to SCI all of the tangible
property identified on Schedule 10.4 (the "Consigned Property").
SCI shall have the right to inspect the Consigned Property, and
provided that SCI finds the Consigned Property to be in good
working order and in operating condition at the time of transfer,
SCI shall pay to Intergraph in cash on the date of transfer the
Net Book Value of the Consigned Property.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned has served as counsel to Intergraph Corporation,
a Delaware corporation ("Intergraph"), in connection with the
negotiation, execution and delivery of that certain Asset
Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 13, 1998 (the "Asset
Purchase Agreement"), by and between Intergraph and SCI Technology, Inc.,
an Alabama corporation ("SCI"), and in connection with the
transactions provided for and contemplated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement and the Transaction Documents (collectively, the "Transactions").
This opinion letter is rendered to you pursuant to Section 6.1(k)
of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Asset Purchase Agreement.
In giving this opinion, the undersigned has examined
originals or documents certified or otherwise identified to his
satisfaction as copies of the following documents, and, to the
extent deemed appropriate by the undersigned, has relied on the
following documents:
1. Asset Purchase Agreement;
2. Transaction Documents;
3. Corporate proceedings of Intergraph relating to the authorization
and consummation of the Transactions;
4. Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of Intergraph, together
with all amendments thereto;
5. Certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware attesting
to the continued corporate existence of Intergraph; and
6. Such other documents, agreements and records and such other
investigations by the undersigned as deemed appropriate and
relevant by the undersigned in order to furnish the opinions set
forth below.
The documents referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above are
collectively referred to as the "Documents".
In connection with such examination, the undersigned has
assumed, without verifying such assumptions, the genuineness of
all signatures (other than the signatures of Intergraph), the
authenticity of all documents submitted to the undersigned as
original documents, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to the undersigned as certified, conformed,
photostatic or facsimile copies, and the authenticity of the
originals of such documents. The undersigned has also assumed,
without verifying such assumptions, that all documents executed
by a party other than Intergraph were duly and validly executed and
delivered by such party and are legal, valid and binding
obligations of such party, enforceable against such party in
accordance with their respective terms. As to certain questions
of fact that are material and relevant to this opinion, the
undersigned has relied upon certificates of appropriate state and
local officials.
The undersigned is admitted to practice only in the State of
Alabama, and expresses no opinion as to matters under or
involving laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the
State of Alabama and the laws of the United States of America.
To the extent that the undersigned expresses an opinion regarding
any document based upon any laws other than the State of Alabama
and the laws of the United States of America, the undersigned has
assumed, with your permission, that such laws are identical to
the laws of the State of Alabama.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is the opinion
of the undersigned that:
1. Intergraph is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has
full corporate power and authority to own its own properties and
carry on its business as it is now being conducted.
2. Intergraph is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign
corporation under the laws of the State of Alabama.
3. Intergraph has the full corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver each of the Documents to which it is a party and to
perform its obligations thereunder.
4. Intergraph has duly authorized the execution and delivery of each
of the Documents to which it is a party and all performance by
Intergraph thereunder.
5. Intergraph has duly executed and delivered each of the Documents to
which it is a party.
6. Each of the Documents to which Intergraph is a party constitutes
the valid and binding obligation of Intergraph, and each of such
Documents is enforceable against Intergraph in accordance with its
terms, except (a) as may be limited by, subject to or affected by
(i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, arrangement of debt, fraudulent conveyance, or
similar laws or decisions now or hereafter in effect relating to
or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally; (ii)
the application of public policy principles affecting the
enforcement of certain types of obligations; and (iii) the effect
of general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is considered in proceedings at law or in equity)
upon the enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or
other provisions of such Documents or upon the availability of
injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable
remedies; and (b) with respect to provisions of such Documents
that provide for the parties thereto to agree at some future
date, no opinion is expressed herein with respect to the validity
or enforceability of any agreements that may be made by such
parties at any such future date.
7. To the undersigned's knowledge, except as set forth in the
Documents or the Schedules thereto, and except for filings
required under the HSR Act, no approvals or consents by, or
filings with, any federal or State of Alabama governmental
authority are required in connection with the execution and
delivery by Intergraph of the Documents to which it is a party, or the
consummation of the Transactions.
Except as disclosed in the Documents or the Schedules
thereto, the execution and delivery by Intergraph of each of the
Documents to which it is a party do not, and if Intergraph were now to
perform its obligations under each of the Documents to which it
is a party such performance would not, result in any:
(1) violation of Intergraph's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws;
(2) subject to the obtaining of all required consents from
governmental entities having jurisdiction, any violation of any

decides in its discretion not to repair or restore the Premises
or in the event any mortgagee of Landlord's should require that
the insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty be
applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or in the event of
any material uninsured loss to the Premises, Landlord may, at its
option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of
such termination within thirty (30) days after the date of such

Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to
restore the Premises to substantially the same condition in which
it was immediately prior to the happening of the casualty, except
that Landlord shall not be required to spend for such work an
amount in excess of the insurance proceeds actually received by

rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall equitably xxxxx from the
date of such casualty until the completion of Landlord's required
restoration or until the date of cancellation of this Lease.

9.1 TENANT ASSIGNMENT: Tenant shall not assign, sublease,
transfer, pledge, or encumber this Lease or any interest therein

other transfer or encumbrance by Tenant in violation of the terms
and covenants of this paragraph shall be void. Notwithstanding
any provision contained in the Lease to the contrary, Tenant
shall have the right, without Landlord's consent, to assign this
Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises to any
"Affiliate" of Tenant, as defined in the Purchase Agreement.
Prior to any such assignment or sublease, other than to an
"Affiliate" of Tenant, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a
written notice specifying the name of the assignee or sublessee
and also providing Landlord with a copy of the instrument of
assignment or sublease. Consent of Landlord to one assignment,
subletting, or granting shall not constitute a waiver of
Landlord's rights with respect to any other assigning, subletting
or granting. In no event shall Tenant assign the Lease or permit
the use of any portion of the Premises for any use which will
conflict with the use rights of the Landlord in the Premises or
Common Areas. Any assigning, subletting or granting,
notwithstanding the consent of the Landlord, shall not in any
manner release the Tenant herein from its continued liability for
the performance of the provisions of this Lease and any
amendments or modifications then or thereafter a part of this
Lease. The acceptance of any rental payments by Landlord from
any alleged assignee shall not constitute approval of the
assignment of this Lease by the Landlord.
9.2 BANKRUPTCY, ETC.: Neither this Lease, nor any interest
therein, nor any estate created hereby, shall pass to any trustee
or receiver in bankruptcy, nor to any other receiver or assignee
for the benefit of creditors or otherwise by operation of law.
In the event of bankruptcy or assignment for the benefit of
creditors, Landlord shall be deemed a secured creditor as to the
next six months' rental to the extent permitted by the applicable
federal or state laws unless the rental is otherwise paid
hereunder. As to any additional loss of rent, Landlord shall be
entitled to file as a general creditor.
ARTICLE X: DEFAULT AND RE-ENTRY
10.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT BY TENANT: The happening of any one or
more of the following listed events ("Events of Default") shall
constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) The failure of Tenant to pay any rent or any other sums
of money within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice
from Landlord that such rent or other sum of money is due;
provided, however that Landlord shall only be required to notify
Tenant in writing of such failure to pay two (2) times during any
twelve month period, and after the second such written notice
within such twelve (12) month period, it shall be an Event of
Default if Tenant shall fail to pay any rent or any other sums of
money within ten (10) days of the date such amounts are due.
(b) Except for the payment of rent and other sums of money
hereunder, the failure of Tenant, within thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice from Landlord, to comply with any
provision of this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord
and Tenant, all of which terms, provisions and covenants shall be
deemed material; provided, however, that if the nature of
Tenant's failure is such that it cannot reasonably be cured
within such thirty (30) day period, the time for curing such
failure shall be extended for such period of time as may be
necessary to complete such cure provided Tenant shall proceed
promptly to cure the same and shall prosecute such cure
continuously, in good faith and with due diligence.
(c) If the Tenant shall (i) apply for or consent to the
appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Tenant or
of all or a substantial part of its assets, (ii) admit in writing
its inability to pay its debts as they come due, (iii) make a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) file a
petition or an answer seeking reorganization or arrangement with
creditors or to take advantage of any insolvency law other than
the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (v) file an answer admitting the
material allegations of a petition filed against the Tenant in
any reorganization or insolvency proceedings, other than a
proceeding commenced pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or
if any order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction, except for a bankruptcy court or a
federal court sitting as a bankruptcy court, adjudicating the
Tenant insolvent, or approving a petition seeking reorganization
of the Tenant, or appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of
the Tenant or of all or a substantial part of its assets.
10.2 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES FOR TENANT DEFAULT: Upon the occurrence
of any Event or Events of Default by Tenant, whether enumerated
in Section 10.1 or not, Landlord shall have the option, at
Landlord's election, to pursue any one or more of the following
remedies:
(a) Landlord may cancel and terminate this Lease and
dispossess Tenant;
(b) Landlord may without terminating or canceling this
Lease declare the "Present Value" of all amounts and rents due
under this Lease for the remainder of the existing term (or any
applicable extension or renewal thereof) to be immediately due
and payable; and thereupon all rents and other charges due
hereunder to the end of the initial term or any renewal term, if
applicable, shall be accelerated. In the event Landlord elects
to so accelerate, Tenant shall be responsible for paying, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the
present value of the Base Rental and any additional rent provided
in this Lease Agreement for the remainder of the stated term
hereof. For purposes of calculating the "Present Value" pursuant
to this Section 10.2(b), the Base Rental and any additional rent
for the remainder of the term of this Lease shall be discounted
at a rate equal to eight percent (8%). This payment is an agreed
upon sum in the face of unknown losses to Landlord which cannot
be ascertained with certainty by the parties at the present time,
and as such constitutes agreed upon liquidated damages;
(c) Landlord may elect to enter and repossess the Premises
and relet the Premises for Tenant's account, holding Tenant
liable in damages for all reasonable expenses incurred in any
such reletting and for any difference between the amount of rent
received from such reletting and the amount due and payable under
the terms of this Lease;
(d) Landlord may enter upon the Premises and do whatever
Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease (and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable
expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with
Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be
liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from such action
except for Landlord's negligence and willful misconduct).
10.3 LEGAL REMEDIES: Notwithstanding the provision of this
Lease, it is agreed between the parties that the remedies
provided for herein in the event of default are in addition to
and not in lieu of any other remedies or relief made available to
the Landlord or Tenant under the laws of the State of Alabama,
which latter remedies or relief shall be likewise available in
the event of a breach of any of the terms of this Lease.
10.4 ATTORNEY'S FEES: In the event that either party shall be
required to engage legal counsel for the enforcement of any of
the terms of this Lease, whether such employment shall require
institution of suit or other legal services required to secure
compliance on the part of a party hereto, the non-prevailing
party shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay the
prevailing party's reasonable attorney's fees and expenses.
ARTICLE XI: COMMON AREA
11.1 CONTROL OF COMMON AREA: All driveways, entrances and exits
thereto, sidewalks, ramps, landscaped areas, exterior stairways,
and all other Common Area provided by Landlord for the common use
of Tenant's and Landlord's officers, agents, employees and
customers, shall at all times be subject to the exclusive control
and management of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right
from time to time, and as often as desirable, to establish,
modify and enforce reasonable rights and regulations with respect
to the use of all the Common Area. Landlord shall have the
exclusive right at any and all times to close any portion of the
Common Area for any purpose including without limitation making
repairs, changes or additions thereto and may change the size,
area or arrangement of the parking areas, or the lighting thereof
within or adjacent to the existing areas and may enter into
agreements with adjacent owners for cross-easements for parking,
ingress or egress. In the event that the lighting controls for
the Common Area shall be located within the Premises, Landlord
shall have the right to enter the Premises of the Tenant for the
purpose of operating, maintaining and repair of such controls and
related wiring.
ARTICLE XII: EMINENT DOMAIN
12.1 SUBSTANTIAL TAKING: If the whole or substantially the whole
of the Premises or such portion thereof which renders the
Premises unusable by Tenant should be taken for any public or
quasi-public use, by right of eminent domain or otherwise or
should be sold in lieu of condemnation, then this Lease shall
terminate as of the date when physical possession of the Premises
is taken by the condemning authority. If less than the whole or
substantially the whole of the Premises is thus taken or sold
such that the Premises are unusable as a result of a condemnation
and Tenant will be prevented from carrying on its normal business
operations for a period of 60 days or more, either party may
terminate this Lease by providing written notice to the other
party. Upon such termination, the obligations of the parties
hereunder, including the obligation of the Tenant to pay rent,
shall cease as of the day the Premises became unusable as a
result of such condemnation or taking.
If this Lease is not so terminated upon any such partial
taking or sale, the rent payable hereunder shall be diminished by
an equitable amount based on the portion of the Premises taken,
if any, and Landlord shall, to the extent Landlord deems
feasible, restore the Premises to substantially their former
condition, provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to
spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by
Landlord as compensation for such damage. All amounts awarded
upon a taking of any part or all of the Premises shall belong to
Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to and expressly
waives all claim to any such compensation, including any award or
ascertainment for the value of Tenant's leasehold estate, which
value is hereby assigned to the Landlord.
12.2 AWARD: Tenant shall not be entitled to participate or
receive any part of the damages or award which may be paid to or
awarded Landlord by reason of a taking under this Article except
where said award shall provide for moving or other reimbursable
expenses for the Tenant under statute trade fixtures or Tenant's
lost profits, in which event the latter shall be received by
Tenant.
ARTICLE XIII: GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY: At reasonable times and, except

if any, of the licensee under the respective license agreements
accruing from and after the Closing Date. In connection with
this transfer, Intergraph shall deliver to SCI all tangible
embodiments of the TTPS (including those recorded on magnetic,
optical, or other media) in Intergraph's possession at the
Facility.
3. No Transfer of DTAs. Intergraph will neither transfer
nor sublicense to SCI any of its rights as licensee under its
licenses to the DTAs. Intergraph will deliver to SCI the
computers on which the DTAs are installed without deleting the
DTAs, for the convenience of the parties (e.g., the installed
DTAs may be specially configured and may be intertwined with
needed Associated Files). SCI shall be responsible for obtaining
licenses from the third-party licensors for any DTAs which SCI
wishes to use.
4. License of Manufacturing Support Applications.
4.1 General. Intergraph hereby grants to SCI,
effective as of the Closing Date, a nonexclusive, royalty-free
license under all of Intergraph's Intellectual Property Rights to
use the Manufacturing Support Applications for the limited
purpose of manufacturing Products for Intergraph under the
Manufacturing Agreement, for so long as the Manufacturing
Agreement is in effect. It is understood that the Manufacturing
Support Applications may be accessed (to the extent necessary)
through Intergraph's existing network connections between the
Facility and any other facility where the servers containing the
Manufacturing Support Applications are located. It is anticipated
that standalone Manufacturing Support Applications will be moved
to SCI's manufacturing facility, but that other systems that are
integrated with Intergraph's other information systems will not
be moved. Accordingly, after the manufacturing has been
relocated from the Facility, SCI shall have the right to access
any Manufacturing Support Applications which remain installed at
the Facility or other Intergraph facilities and are not relocated
to the SCI facility, through remote network connections, the cost
of which will be reimbursable as tooling or NRE costs under the
Manufacturing Agreement. Intergraph will furnish SCI with all
reasonable cooperation in the establishment of any such remote
network connection as part of the transition to the new location.
4.2 Specific Provisions. The following specific
provisions supplement or modify the general provisions of Section
4.1:
(a) The above license includes a sublicense
under all licenses from third parties to Intergraph of
Manufacturing Support Applications or components thereof, subject
to SCI's compliance from and after closing with restrictions in
such agreements as to use, copying and disclosure. As to these
third party applications or components, Intergraph warrants that
it either has the right to grant this sublicense or will promptly
obtain the same following the Closing with no interruption of, or
third-party licensor interference with, SCI's use of the software
in question, and at no expense to SCI. Furthermore, if any such
third-party licenses contain location or CPU-specific
restrictions, network access or time-sharing prohibitions, or
other similar restrictions that would prevent or interfere with
SCI's move of the manufacturing operations to a location of its
choice and use of the software after such move, Intergraph will
at its sole expense obtain a waiver of those restrictions in
favor of SCI's use of the software in connection with
manufacturing under the Manufacturing Agreement.
(b) In addition to the Manufacturing Support
Applications, Intergraph uses SAP Software and a Work
Authorization ("WA") System to generate, store or process data
needed in manufacturing operations. While the manufacturing
continues in the Facility, Intergraph will provide data from
these systems as reasonably necessary to facilitate SCI's
manufacturing under the Manufacturing Agreement; unless otherwise
agreed this data will be provided in printed hardcopy form.
(c) With respect to Manufacturing Support
Applications that are Intergraph proprietary applications, if SCI
desires to use those applications to manufacture products for
third parties, Intergraph shall, if SCI so requests, negotiate in
good faith with SCI with respect to granting a further license
thereunder to SCI for manufacture of products for third parties,
at a reasonable royalty and on reasonable terms, to be negotiated
in good faith between the parties based on available market
information on arms-length licenses for comparable technologies.
(d) As of the date hereof it has not been
finally determined whether the In-Circuit Tools will be needed by
SCI in connection with its duties under the Manufacturing
Agreement. Accordingly, it is agreed that the In-Circuit Tools
will be licensed to SCI under Section 4.1 only if and to the
extent the use of these tools is necessary or expedient in order
for SCI to meet in-circuit testing or development tasks or
specifications under the Manufacturing Agreement.
5. License of Physical Processes. Intergraph hereby
grants to SCI, effective as of the Closing Date, a perpetual,
nonexclusive, royalty-free license under all of Intergraph's
Intellectual Property Rights (if any) in the Physical Processes,
to use the Physical Processes (and SCI modifications thereof) in
the manufacture, assembly, and testing of products of every kind
and description (including products made for third parties) at
the Facility and at any other facility to which the manufacturing
operations under the Manufacturing Agreement may be transferred.
In connection with this license, Intergraph shall deliver to SCI
all (if any) documentation of the Physical Processes and related
know-how in its possession.
6. License of Manufacturing Rights. Intergraph hereby
grants to SCI, effective as of the Closing Date, a nonexclusive,
royalty-free license under all of Intergraph's Manufacturing
Rights, for so long as the Manufacturing Agreement is in effect,
to manufacture, assemble, and test Products at the Facility and
any other facility to which the Facility operations may be
transferred, and to sell the Products to Intergraph as
contemplated by the Manufacturing Agreement. This license
specifically includes rights under the two patents mentioned in
the preceding section, to the extent SCI needs such a license to
manufacture, assemble and test Products as contemplated by the
Manufacturing Agreement. As to any trademark rights of
Intergraph included in the Manufacturing Rights, SCI acknowledges
that the Product quality criteria in the Manufacturing Agreement
are applicable to the use of such marks.
Intergraph has identified two patents, a board stiffening
patent and an impedance patent, in which Intergraph claims rights
and which may be Manufacturing Rights. Like other Manufacturing
Rights, these rights are licensed royalty-free only for the
manufacture of Products under the Manufacturing Agreement.
However, Intergraph shall, if SCI so requests, negotiate in good
faith with SCI with respect to granting a further license
thereunder to SCI for manufacture of products for third parties,
at a reasonable royalty and on reasonable terms, to be negotiated
in good faith between the parties based on available market
information on arms-length licenses for comparable technologies.
7. Warranties.
7.1 Adequacy. Intergraph warrants to SCI that
the licenses, sublicenses and other Intellectual Property Rights
granted in this Agreement:
(a) Are all of the Intellectual Property
Rights necessary to manufacture, assemble and test the Products
in accordance with practices in effect at the Facility or by
Intergraph during the ninety (90) day period prior to the Closing
Date; and
(b) Are free of any material defect or error
which significantly adversely affects the manufacturing, assembly
and testing process as presently conducted by Intergraph.
Intergraph has identified Year 2000 compliance problems with the
systems identified in Schedule A attached; except as disclosed on
Schedule A, Intergraph has no actual knowledge of Year 2000
compliance problems with respect to any of the software systems
being licensed or sublicensed to SCI hereunder or with respect to
any hardware systems being transferred to SCI under the Asset
Purchase Agreement; however, Intergraph has not fully
investigated the matter and does not warrant against the
existence of additional Year 2000 problems.
7.2 Status of Intergraph's Rights. Intergraph
warrants to SCI that:
(a) Intergraph has valid licenses to use (a)
the TTPS and (b) any of the Manufacturing Support Applications or
components thereof, the Intellectual Property Rights to which are
owned by any Party other than Intergraph; provided, however, that
with respect to the Informix database, if Intergraph is unable to
document its license prior to Closing, then Intergraph will
promptly after Closing obtain from Informix a confirmation of its
license, or a new license, as appropriate, with no interruption
of, or third-party interference with, SCI's use of the Informix
database, and at no expense to SCI.
(b) All of Intergraph's licenses to the
foregoing software products are fully paid-up, and to the best of
Intergraph's knowledge (i) there is no existing claim by any
licensor that Intergraph is in breach of any such license, and
(ii) Intergraph is not in breach in any material respect of any
such license;
(c) Intergraph has the right to transfer the
TTPS to SCI and to allow SCI to use the Manufacturing Support
Applications as contemplated by this Agreement; and
(d) Intergraph owns, or has, or will obtain
in accordance with Section 4.2(a), sufficient rights in all the
Intellectual Property Rights licensed to SCI hereunder, to
license or sublicense the same to SCI as provided for herein and
otherwise to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
7.3 Non-Infringement; Indemnity.
(a) Intergraph warrants that the use by SCI
after Closing, in accordance with this Agreement, of the TTPS,
the Manufacturing Support Applications and the Physical
Processes, in the manner used by Intergraph prior to the Closing
Date, and the exercise of the Manufacturing Rights in accordance
herewith, will not infringe any Intellectual Property Right of
any third party.
(b) Intergraph agrees to indemnify and hold
SCI harmless in respect of any claim or action for infringement
of third-party Intellectual Property Rights, so far as the claim
or action arises out of SCI's performance of its obligations
under the Manufacturing Agreement and is related to (i) any use
of the TTPS or the Manufacturing Support Applications in
accordance with this Agreement at the Facility; or (ii) any use
of the TTPS or Manufacturing Support Applications at another
facility in accordance with this Agreement; or (iii) any use of
the Physical Processes, or (iv) the exercise of the
Manufacturing Rights or the manufacturing and assembly from
purchased component parts of Products for sale to Intergraph as
contemplated by the Manufacturing Agreement. SCI shall promptly
notify Intergraph in writing of any such claim or action and
provide Intergraph with authority, information and assistance, at
Intergraph's expense, to handle the claim or the defense of the
action. In addition, in the event a claim is made against
Intergraph or SCI arising out of an alleged violation by
Intergraph of any third-party license relating to such
Intellectual Property Rights prior to closing, or a violation by
reason of Intergraph's grant of sublicenses to SCI pursuant
hereto, Intergraph will indemnify and hold SCI harmless against
such claim.
(c) If, in an action described in the
preceding paragraph (b), SCI's activities as contemplated under
the Manufacturing Agreement are held to constitute an
infringement of any third-party Intellectual Property Rights and
the use of such rights or of a product embodying such rights is
enjoined, Intergraph shall, at its own expense and at its option,
either procure for SCI the right to continue use or, if
applicable, replace the same with non-infringing software or
physical processes of equivalent function and performance, or
modify the software or Physical Processes so they become non-
infringing without detracting from their function or performance.
Any failure or inability of SCI to perform under the
Manufacturing Agreement as a result of any claim of infringement
described above, or any injunction, judgment or other remedy
issued pursuant to any such claim, shall be excused and SCI shall
have no liability to Intergraph in respect of such failure or

Intergraph that SCI has, or shall have obtained from the third
party vendors on a timely basis, sufficient rights in the DTAs to
perform its obligations under the Manufacturing Agreement. SCI
agrees to indemnify and hold Intergraph harmless in respect of
any claim or action for infringement of third-party Intellectual
Property Rights so far as the claim or action relates to a use of
the TTPS, the DTAs, the Manufacturing Support Applications, the
Physical Processes or the Manufacturing Rights (a) in a manner
not authorized by this Agreement, or (b) in the case of the DTAs,
not authorized by the third-party owners or licensors thereof.

cost to SCI. Until SCI assumes this function, Intergraph shall
be responsible, at Intergraph's expense, for loading any third-
party software and/or data onto the Products which Intergraph
desires to have loaded. Similarly, SCI shall have the right to
cease the loading function with respect to any third-party
software or data product as to which SCI's Loading Rights are
withdrawn or cancelled.

this Agreement to the extent that performance of its obligations
or attempts to cure any breach are delayed or prevented by reason
of any act of God, fire, natural disaster, accident, act of
government, or an act that is beyond the reasonable control of

reasonable efforts to implement the required changes in a timely manner
which is mutually agreeable to both Parties.
8.3 Emergency Changes. If Intergraph submits an emergency ECO clearly
identified as such, SCI will strive to implement such ECO within 24 hours;

forty-five (45) days if delivered into the Distribution Center) in
accordance with the agreed RMA procedure. In the event the Parties
mutually agree that the Product is "no trouble found" after return to SCI,
then Intergraph shall pay for the shipping costs.
9.3 Agency Approvals. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, Intergraph
will be responsible for obtaining agency and regulatory approvals;
provided, however, that SCI will provide Intergraph all information and
assistance reasonably requested by Intergraph for the purpose of obtaining

writing, SCI will have no obligation to collect and pay separate royalties
to any third party (except those royalties contained within a vendor's
product price). SCI shall be responsible for paying royalties associated
with its manufacturing processes or its own designs. In the event SCI is
required to pay royalties for the use of Lemelson patents, the Product
prices will be appropriately adjusted.
10.8 Intergraph Equipment Loaner Program. There are two types of
Product loans from the Distribution Center:
(A) Loans within Intergraph for a specific promotional purpose such as
a trade show, etc. or for quality testing purposes. For Products loaned
on this basis, SCI will retain title and ownership, up through forty-five
(45) days from the date the Product was received in the Distribution
Center. Intergraph shall purchase from SCI at the then current pricing, any
loaned equipment which is damaged to the point of not being eligible for
refurbishment for any reason not caused by SCI.
(B) All other loans within Intergraph or all Products loaned to a third
party for any reason. For Products loaned on this basis, SCI shall invoice
Intergraph on the date the Product is removed from the Distribution Center
and Intergraph shall have title to the Products while it is on loan.
(C) Intergraph represents and warrants that Exhibit G contains a
complete and accurate list of the Initial Inventory on loan by Intergraph
and conveyed but not physically transferred to SCI at Closing. With
respect to each item of Initial Loaned Inventory, unless such item of
Initial Loaned Inventory is returned to SCI prior to forty-five (45) days
following the Closing Date, SCI shall invoice Intergraph for such item on
the earlier of (i) the date such item is sold or (ii) forty-five (45) days
from the Closing.
In all cases, upon the return of loaned equipment to the Intergraph
Distribution Center, SCI shall charge Intergraph on a time and materials
basis based on mutually agreed standards and terms for the refurbishment of
such loaned equipment.
11. FORECASTS, ORDERS & ADJUSTMENTS
11.1 Forecasts. Intergraph will provide SCI, every calendar month
during the Term, a forecast covering the period of six (6) calendar months
beginning with the month in which such forecast is provided. Such forecast
will specify the number of units of the Products which Intergraph
anticipates purchasing during such six (6) month period. Such forecasts
will be non-binding and will not be regarded as a commitment to purchase by
either Party.
11.2 Master Purchase Orders. The Initial Master Purchase Order shall be
for a minimum of ninety (90) days. Subsequent Master Purchase Orders will
be issued on a rolling monthly basis so that at any time SCI will have no
less than sixty (60) days Lead Time to Delivery. Master Purchase Orders
will be issued by Intergraph and will be issued in writing or by electronic
means, in accordance with the applicable Lead Time(s). Intergraph will
issue a written authorization to allow SCI to procure long-lead materials
that are beyond the Master Purchase Order coverage in quantities consistent
with the forecast. To be effective, all Master Purchase Orders must
contain the following terms:
( a ) description of the Products to be purchased, including
Intergraph part number;
( b ) quantity to be purchased;
( c ) anticipated manufacturing schedule; and
( d ) confirmation of price.
SCI will accept or reject Intergraph Master Purchase Orders in writing
within five (5) working days after its receipt and shall target to provide
such notice within three (3) working days. Failure to deliver an
acknowledgment to Intergraph within such five (5) day period will be deemed
acceptance. Only terms (a) - (d), above, and the terms of this Agreement
will apply to orders for Products, even if Intergraph's Purchase Order
and/or SCI's acknowledgment form contains other terms and conditions,
preprinted or otherwise inserted.
11.3 Authorized Purchasing Locations. SCI agrees to accept and act upon
only those Master Purchase Orders and Sales Orders received from the
following authorized purchasing location:
Intergraph Corporation
Corporate Procurement
Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
The above list of authorized purchasing locations may be revised from time
to time upon the Parties' mutual written consent.
11.4 Order Adjustments.
(a) Intergraph may increase, decrease or reschedule the quantity of
Products previously set forth in a Master Purchase Order or Sales Order in
accordance with the rescheduling chart set forth below. SCI shall utilize
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the incurring of any vendor
special charges or premiums in providing Products within the parameters set
forth in the chart. In the event a special charge or premium is required
for rescheduling (increases or decreases within the parameters of the
chart) then Intergraph shall pay or reimburse SCI for such vendor premiums
or special charges; provided that, SCI shall not incur any premium or
special charge without advance notice to, and written approval by,
Intergraph. SCI shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate
any expense to Intergraph arising out of a change in production quantities.
The following chart defines the percentage of change allowable by period:
Periods covered by Master Purchase Orders:
Adjustments Made Permissible Adjustment**
Within 30 Days* As Negotiated on a case by case basis
31 to 45 Days + 30%/ - 50%
46 to 60 Days + 50%/ - 70%
61+ Days Up to 100%+
* "Days" means the number of calendar days between Intergraph order
adjustment and the Delivery Date.
**"Adjustment" means the percentage of any Product ordered for Delivery
on such Delivery Date that Intergraph may add to the order, delete from the
order or reschedule for later delivery.
Contingent on availability of materials and labor and with commercially
reasonable efforts, SCI will supply increased quantities of Products on
the originally scheduled Delivery date.
If Intergraph reschedules the Delivery Date under a particular Master
Purchase Order or Sales Order by more than forty-five (45) days after the
original Delivery date, Intergraph will pay SCI an inventory carrying
charge equal to one percent (1%) of the actual cost of affected inventory
held by SCI on the last day of each month thereafter, provided that SCI
will use every reasonable effort to mitigate such carrying charges to
Intergraph by, without limitation, canceling or delaying orders, returning
components and utilizing components in other products currently produced by
SCI at any of its sites.
If due to requests or changes by Intergraph, Intergraph will be responsible
for:
(i) any overtime charges required to meet Intergraph's needs where
Intergraph requires greater flexibility than is permitted above,
provided that SCI shall advise Intergraph in advance of the need for
overtime activity; provided SCI will use every reasonable effort to
minimize such charges;
(ii) any vendor premiums required to meet Intergraph flexibility needs
when Intergraph requires greater flexibility than is permitted above,
provided that such premiums are incurred due to circumstances beyond
SCI's control; provided that SCI will use every reasonable effort to
minimize such charges or premiums and will advise Intergraph of any
such charges or premiums in advance so that Intergraph may choose
whether to incur the additional cost in order to achieve the desired
flexibility.
11.5 Sales Orders. SCI will assemble finished Products in accordance
with the instructions contained in Sales Orders. Sales Orders will be
issued by Intergraph pursuant to a Master Purchase Order. SCI will build
and ship as directed by Sales Orders. SCI will notify Intergraph of
exceptions to scheduled ship dates within one (1) Working Day of receiving
a Sales Order. SCI will confirm actual shipment on-line within a time
frame consistent with agreed-upon EDI download frequencies.
11.7 Cancellation or Modification.
(a) Sales Orders. Intergraph may cancel or modify any Sales Order
prior to shipment of Product upon written notice to SCI. Sales Orders
shall be modified by cancellation of the original Sales Order followed by
the issuance of a new Sales Order reflecting the modification.
Modifications shall be limited to changes in the Sales Order configuration
(including quantity changes), changes in Customer name or ship to address
or postponement of shipment date. SCI shall strive to implement all
cancellations or modifications on a commercially reasonable basis, given
the availability of manpower and materials. Intergraph has the right to
cancel a Sales Order provided that Intergraph will reimburse SCI for costs
actually and reasonably incurred by SCI, including the actual cost of labor
expended, materials and components for the ordered quantity which are not
otherwise usable on another Sales Order and material xxxx-up therefore (as
set forth in Exhibit D,), as the result of such cancellation, but no profit
or lost opportunity cost shall be allowed. Both Parties will undertake
reasonable measures to mitigate the costs of cancellation.
(b) Master Purchase Orders. Within the parameters of the
Schedule, Intergraph may modify any Master Purchase Order prior to shipment
of Product upon delivery to SCI of a Change Order (as defined below).
Intergraph may only cancel a Master Purchase Order in accordance with the
terms set forth in Xxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxxxxx.
11.8 Change Orders. Intergraph shall confirm in a writing delivered to
SCI any changes ("Change Order") to a Master Purchase Order, and SCI shall
target to acknowledge such changes in writing within three days, which
shall include an estimate of the cost and /or schedule impact of
implementing the change. SCI shall not be required to implement any change
in a Master Purchase Order which is delivered to SCI at intervals less than
the normal thirty day rolling update until the Parties have agreed on the
impact, if any, of the change.
11.9 Timing; Quantities in Sales Orders. Intergraph shall issue Sales
Orders not less than five (5) Working Days prior to the required shipment
date. SCI shall comply with the terms of the Sales Order, provided that
the weekly production quantity is not less than 20%, nor more than 30%, of
the total forecasted production quantity for the current month as set forth
in the latest Master Purchase Order. In the event that the production
quantity exceeds 30% of the total forecasted production quantity for the
current month, then SCI's obligation to ship by the shipment date specified
in the Sales Order shall be on a commercially reasonable basis.
11.10 Obsolete/Excess Materials. If due to Master Purchase Order
adjustments in 11.4 above, cancellations, modification or push out of a
Sales Order, or an Engineering Change Order, if SCI has any components or
material on hand more than sixty (60) days which it can not mitigate with
the vendor and which have substantially less demand as reflected in the
current three month Purchase Order and six month forecast, such inventory
shall be considered obsolete/excess material by the Parties. Within thirty
(30) days of such material being designated as obsolete/excess, Intergraph
shall either purchase such materials at the standard price paid by SCI plus
material xxxx up (plus labor if an SCI manufactured subassembly or at the
latest Purchase Order price if a completed Product) or shall authorize SCI
to obtain liquidation offers from third parties. SCI shall advise
Intergraph if the liquidation value is less than that Intergraph would
otherwise owe SCI, and Intergraph shall approve the liquidation price in
writing, preferably within five (5) working days, and shall be liable for
the difference in price, which shall be invoiced by SCI upon the sale of
the obsolete/excess materials to the third party. Intergraph shall receive
the benefit if the materials are sold at a price higher than that owed to
SCI. Until disposed of and any difference reconciled by Intergraph or
purchased by Intergraph, the one percent (1%) carrying charge per month in
11.4 shall apply to the cost of the excess/obsolete material.
11.11 Lead Time Reduction Program. SCI and Intergraph will meet
quarterly to discuss options to effect reductions in Lead Times to allow
improved flexibility in ordering and delivery. The agenda for each meeting
will include identification of such options, schedules for determination of
associated cost and schedules for implementation.
12. DELIVERY, TITLE, CARRIER & RISK OF LOSS
12.1 Delivery. SCI will Deliver the total number of units ordered in a
particular Sales Order to the Delivery Point on or before the date
specified in such Sales Order, subject to the provisions of Section 11.4
above. Delivery is considered on time if delivered zero (0) days late and
up to three (3) days early. In computing the above delivery date, each
Sales Order for other than complicated Servers or Systems shall have a
manufacturing lead time of five (5) days from the date of the Sales Order
and a mutually agreed manufacturing lead time for all complicated Servers
or Systems, to be agreed on a case by case basis. The above manufacturing
lead time assumes that the materials required to manufacture the Products
have been previously ordered and received in accordance with the Master
Purchase Order and the Sales Orders support the mix, quantity, and
scheduling reflected in the Master Purchase Order. If the required
materials are not available to support an on time delivery of a Sales
Order, SCI shall target to notify Intergraph within one (1) working day of
the receipt of the Sales Order of the estimated date delivery can be made
to satisfy the requirements of the Sales Order. Such delay shall not be
considered the fault of SCI, provided SCI has not otherwise caused the
delay.
12.2 Carrier; Risk of Loss. SCI will use Intergraph's Preferred
Carrier(s) for Delivery, provided that if Intergraph does not designate a
preferred carrier, SCI may select a common carrier at its discretion. In
the event SCI were to be directed to deliver Product directly to an
Intergraph customer or to any other location, in all cases the FOB point
shall be SCI's dock. For shipment of Products to the Intergraph
Distribution Center, carrier selection and risk of loss shall remain with
SCI.
12.3 Distribution Center Inventory. Except for the Product loan
conditions in Section 10.8 above, SCI will consign Products to
Intergraph's Distribution Center for a maximum of forty-five (45) days. On
the forty-sixth (46th) day, SCI will invoice Intergraph for any Products
which resides within, or is under the control of, the Distribution Center,
including any Products on loan from the Distribution Center if loaned under
the conditions described in Section 10.8 (A). SCI will invoice Intergraph
a one percent (1%) inventory carrying charge for any inventory which
resides within, or remains under the control of, the Distribution Center
for longer than forty-eight (48) hours. The Parties will review on a
quarterly basis the weighted average time Products remain in the
Distribution Center, and such percentage will be reasonably adjusted by SCI
on a forward basis if the data indicates a substantial sustained reduction
in the average time Products reside in the Distribution Center.
13. PAYMENTS
Intergraph will pay SCI for quantities of Product shipped to Intergraph net
thirty (30) days from the date of SCI's invoice. Product will be invoiced
at the earlier of: (a) the time of shipment directly to Intergraph's
customer; (b) upon the Product being removed by Intergraph for resale from
Intergraph's Distribution Center or for loan under the conditions described
in Section 10.8 (b) above; or (c) the forty-fifth (45th) day after the
Product has been placed within Intergraph's Distribution Center. Any
payment not received by day forty-five (45) from the date of the invoice
will be considered late. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties,
Intergraph's payment will be made by telegraphic transfer to a bank account
designated by SCI. Neither Party will have the right of off set or set
off. At SCI's option, SCI may impose a late payment fee of up to 1 percent
(1%) per month on all amounts past due. Both Parties agree to work
diligently to resolve any discrepancies involving invoices. All payments
shall be in U.S. dollars.
14. WARRANTIES, REMEDIES, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
14.1 Warranty Period. SCI warrants to Intergraph that each Product
shall be free from defects in workmanship and materials for twelve (12)
months from the Product invoice date (the "Product Warranty"). SCI will
offer Intergraph an Extended Warranty period of up to two (2) additional
years for an additional one percent (1%) per year of the Product price.
Intergraph shall indicate on its Purchase Order the length of the desired
warranty and shall compute the Product Price accordingly.
(A) SCI PCBA FRUs. FRUs under warranty which are designed and/or
manufactured by SCI will be returned freight prepaid to SCI for repair,
refund, full credit or replacement at SCI's option. If a repair or
replacement is performed, SCI will repair or replace the FRU and ship the
FRU at SCI's expense to the shipping location requested by Intergraph.
Warranty repair FRUs will be unpacked, devirussed, tested for the failure
or non-conformity, repaired, have new software loaded (if applicable) and
have the Bios reflashed (if applicable) before shipment to Intergraph.
Intergraph shall only return complete Product units when the failed
component can not be readily removed from the Product unit.
(B) Vendor FRU Pass Through Warranty. If a FRU is purchased by SCI
from a vendor, then Intergraph shall have the option to select either
repair, replace, refund or credit remedies, provided and to the extent such
remedies are contained in the purchase order between SCI and the vendor.
Additionally, to the extent any vendors warrant their component or assembly
for longer than twelve (12) months, SCI shall pass through such warranties
to Intergraph (to the extent authorized by the vendor and to the extent
permitted by applicable purchase order or laws), and Intergraph may obtain
warranty remedies directly from the vendor, provided such direct action
between Intergraph and the vendor does not create any additional liability,
cost or expense to SCI. Intergraph may request that SCI process pass
through warranty claims after the initial twelve (12) month warranty period
on Intergraph's behalf for an agreed-to processing fee. Intergraph shall be
responsible for all transportation costs if a vendor FRU is returned to
SCI for processing after the initial twelve (12) months. During the
initial twelve (12) months of warranty, Intergraph shall pay transportation
costs to return the defective Product to SCI, and SCI shall pay the
transportation cost to return the repaired or replaced item to Intergraph
or Intergraph's customer.
14.2 DOA Warranty and Corrective Actions. In the event any Product
received by an Intergraph customer is dead on arrival "DOA", then upon
notice from Intergraph, the Parties shall mutually agree on the most cost
effective means of remedying the situation with the customer on an
expedited basis. Such immediate actions may include expedited shipping of
replacement FRU if diagnostic tests indicate an FRU has failed or, as a
last resort, replacing the entire Product, if a replacement is reasonably
available. After the failed FRU or Product is returned to SCI, an
inspection/test of the failed item will be performed, a report will be
issued by SCI identifying the root cause or causes of the failure and
appropriate corrective, if necessary to prevent a recurrence of the DOA.
If the cause of failure is not covered by SCI's warranty, or the failure
can not be duplicated or if the failed item is not returned within thirty
days, then SCI shall be reasonably reimbursed its added expenses of
correcting the DOA situation. In all cases both Parties will work in good
faith to correct the problem at minimum cost while responding to the
customer in a manner which recognizes the need for quick action.
14.3 Exclusions. The materials portion of the Product Warranty shall
not apply to (i) Intergraph supplied materials for which the vendor will
not honor at no cost a pass through by SCI of Intergraph's warranty rights,
(ii) Product that is abused, damaged, altered or misused after title passes
to Intergraph other than by SCI, or (iii) Product damaged after title
passes to Intergraph by external causes not directly contributed to by SCI;
(iv) if the original name and/or serial number and/or identification
markings have been defaced, altered or removed, or (v) use in violation of
operational instructions furnished with each Product.
14.4 Free From Defects. Products shall be considered free from defects
in workmanship if they are manufactured in accordance with SCI's
manufacturing workmanship standards, which shall be mutually agreed to by
the Parties, conform to the Product specifications, and successfully
complete any mutually agreed upon Product Acceptance Tests. Intergraph
may perform acceptance testing which measures a different array of
performance criteria but the Parties agree that the mutually agreed upon
Product Acceptance Test will be the measurement standard to determine if
the Product meets specifications. Intergraph shall have the right to
observe any tests performed by SCI and shall have the right to review and
inspect all test record, provided that such actions are reasonably
requested and do not impede SCI's manufacturing and testing schedule.
14.5 Claims. All claims for breach of warranty must be received by SCI
no later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the warranty period
for the product.
14.6 DISCLAIMERS. THE PRODUCT WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WARRANTY GIVEN BY
SCI. SCI MAKES, AND INTERGRAPH RECEIVES, NO OTHER WARRANTY EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE FOR ANY
CONSIGNED OR INTERGRAPH SUPPLIED MATERIALS, ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND
EXCLUDED HERE FROM.
14.7 Certifications and Approvals. Unless expressly agreed to by SCI in
writing, SCI makes no warranty that the Products will meet any
specification not made known to and agreed to by SCI. Except if
separately contracted for in Section 9.3 above, SCI makes no warranty that
the Products will receive the approval of or be certified by Underwriters
Laboratory, any federal, state, local or foreign government agency
(including without limitation the federal communications commission) or any
other person or entity. SCI assumes no responsibility for obtaining such
approvals or certifications, or meeting such specifications except as
dictated by the manufacturing process unless such dictation is required by
Intergraph.
14.8 Remedy. Intergraph's exclusive remedy for any breach of the
Product Warranty shall be, at SCI's option, repair by SCI at a facility
of its choice, replacement of the defective Product with a functionally
equivalent product, or return of the Purchase Price.
14.9 Warranty Termination. SCI's warranty obligations will cease upon
the earlier of the agreed upon warranty period or upon SCI's fulfillment
of Intergraph's request to return any Intergraph-owned test equipment
and fixtures which would be required by SCI to provide warranty services
for a Product.
14.10 Outside the Warranty Period. SCI will repair Products which are
outside the warranty period on mutually agreed prices and terms and
conditions. Additionally, SCI shall offer such repair services to
Intergraph for products produced by Intergraph prior to the Closing Date.
14.11 Intergraph's Warranty. Intergraph warrants the accuracy and
completeness of the drawings, specifications and documentation provided to
SCI for the manufacture of components and products.
15. INDEMNIFICATION
15.1 Indemnity by SCI. SCI will at SCI's expense, indemnify, hold
harmless and, defend Intergraph, any of its subsidiaries, affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, agents and independent contractors, from and
against any and all loss, cost, liability or expense (including costs and
reasonable fees of attorneys and other professionals) arising out of or in
connection with a third party claim that SCI's manufacturing process
infringes any patent, copyright, license, trademark right, trade secret,
mask work right or other proprietary right of any kind of any third party;
provided that SCI will have no liability under this Section 15 to the
extent such infringement is attributable to Intergraph's written
instructions. Intergraph will provide prompt written notice of any claim
or the assertion of a claim by a third party. Upon such notice, SCI shall
have the right to defend against such claim or assertion and to select
counsel for such defense. Intergraph shall cooperate reasonably with SCI
in supporting the defense against the claim or assertion. Notwithstanding
the above, the Parties have agreed that the Lemelson patents shall be
excluded from SCI's indemnity to Intergraph. However, in the event the
Lemelson patents become applicable to either of the Parties with respect to
SCI's manufacture of the Products, (a) SCI will exert commercially
reasonable efforts to negotiate a reasonable license and royalty for the
use of Lemelson technology in the manufacture of the Products and (b) to
the extent any claim arises with respect to the Lemelson patents which
relates to SCI's manufacturing processes used in the manufacture of the
Products, SCI shall, between the Parties, take the lead, without any
indemnification obligation or additional responsibility as to cost, in the
defense of any such claim.
15.2 Indemnity by Intergraph. Intergraph will, at Intergraph's
expense, indemnify, hold harmless and, defend SCI, any of its subsidiaries,
affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and independent
contractors, from and against any and all loss, cost, liability or expense
(including costs and reasonable fees of attorneys and other professionals)
arising out of or in connection with a third party claim or other
proprietary right of any third party that a Product infringes any patent,
copyright, license, trademark right, trade secret, mask work right or other
proprietary right of any third party to the extent that such claim is
attributable to SCI's incorporation of designs or materials provided by
Intergraph into the Product. Intergraph shall also to the same extent as
stated above indemnify SCI in connection with any third party claim based
on Intergraph's design, distribution, sales, and use of Products, including
refurbishment of loaned Products or components for sale as new. SCI will
provide prompt written notice of any claim or the assertion of a claim by a
third party. Upon such notice, Intergraph shall have the right to defend
against such claim or assertion and to select counsel for such defense.
SCI shall cooperate reasonably with Intergraph in supporting the defense
against the claim or assertion.
15.3 Legal Compliance. Each Party will defend, indemnify, and hold
the other Party harmless from any loss, cost, or expense directly resulting
from the first Party's violation of any law, rule, regulation or ordinance
of the United States, any State, or any other government agency in the
performance of this Agreement.
15.4 Conditions. A Party's obligation to indemnify the other under this
Section 15 is conditioned upon and subject to: (a) the indemnified Party
giving the indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice in writing of any
such suit and permits the indemnifying Party through counsel of its choice,
to answer the charge of infringement and defend such claim or suit; (b) the
indemnified Party provides the indemnifying Party information, assistance
and authority, at the indemnifying Party's expense, to enable such Party to
defend the suit; and (c) the indemnifying Party will not be responsible for
any settlement made by indemnified Party without its prior written consent.
The indemnifying Party agrees not to disclose or publicize the terms of any
settlement of a suit against the indemnified Party without first obtaining
the such Party's written permission.
16. CONFIDENTIALITY
Each Party will protect the other's Confidential Information from
unauthorized dissemination and use with the same degree of care that each
such Party uses to protect its own like information, but at a minimum, with
a reasonable degree of care. Neither Party will use the other's
Confidential Information for purposes other than those necessary to perform
this Agreement and only employees of the receiving Party who have a need to
know such Confidential Information will have access thereto. Neither Party
will disclose to third parties the other's Confidential Information without
the prior written consent of the other Party. Upon termination or
expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall return the other Party's
Confidential Information or obtain written approval for the destruction of
the other Party's Confidential Information.
17. TERMINATION
17.1 Termination with Cause. Either Party may, by written notice,
terminate and/or suspend its performance under this Agreement, without
penalty other than as set forth in this Section 17 if: (1) the other Party

Intergraph, stop all work on outstanding Purchase Orders, incur
no further direct costs, and protect all property in which
Intergraph has or may acquire an interest. Intergraph will have
the option to request that SCI complete work in progress pursuant
to any Purchase Orders open on the date of termination; for
remaining work-in-process, Intergraph will pay a reasonable pro
rata percentage of the finished Product's purchase price;
(ii) Intergraph will compensate SCI for all Product delivered to

Inventory."
17.4.2 SCI will make every reasonable effort to use the Termination
Inventory on other current customer programs, will cancel all
outstanding material orders with vendors, and will attempt to return
piece parts to vendors with Intergraph prior approval. Intergraph
will be responsible for costs, charges and fees actually incurred by
SCI to cancel or return any portion of the Termination Inventory to
vendors and, upon mutual agreement, the cost to modify the procured
materials for other programs.
17.4.3 Within thirty (30) days from termination or cancellation, SCI

remaining after vendor cancellations and returns and after other
program use, as follows: (I) for Procured Material Inventory and
authorized long lead time components, at SCI's standard cost, plus
material xxxx up; (ii) for work-in-process, at a mutually agreed
reasonable cost pro rata percentage of the finished Product purchase
price; and (iii) for finished Product, at the purchase price in effect
at termination or cancellation. Intergraph will be responsible for any
substantiated negative price differential between the price SCI paid
for the Procured Material and authorized long lead time components and
the price at which SCI was able to return and/or utilize the items on
other programs.
17.4.4 In addition to the above, should Intergraph default in any
material respect under this Agreement or terminate this Agreement
without cause prior to the end of the Initial Term, SCI shall be
entitled to receive a refund of its Premium and startup expenses
pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned has served as counsel to SCI Technology,
Inc., an Alabama corporation ("SCI"), in connection with the
negotiation, execution and delivery of that certain Asset
Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 13, 1998 (the "Asset
Purchase Agreement"), by and between SCI and Intergraph
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Intergraph"), and in
connection with the transactions provided for and contemplated by
the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Documents
(collectively, the "Transactions"). This opinion letter is
rendered to you pursuant to Section 6.2(m) of the Asset Purchase
Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Asset
Purchase Agreement.
In giving this opinion, the undersigned has examined
originals or documents certified or otherwise identified to his
satisfaction as copies of the following documents, and, to the
extent deemed appropriate by the undersigned, has relied on the
following documents:
(a) the Asset Purchase Agreement;
(b) the Transaction Documents;
(c) Corporate proceedings of SCI relating to the authorization
and consummation of the Transactions;
(d) the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of SCI, together
with all amendments thereto;
(e) a certificate of the Secretary of State of Alabama attesting
to the continued corporate existence of SCI; and
(f) Such other documents, agreements and records and such other
investigations by the undersigned as deemed appropriate and
relevant by the undersigned in order to furnish the opinions set
forth below.
The documents referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above are
collectively referred to as the "Documents."
In connection with such examination, the undersigned has
assumed, without verifying such assumptions, the genuineness of
all signatures (other than the signatures of SCI), the
authenticity of all documents submitted to the undersigned as
original documents, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to the undersigned as certified, conformed,
photostatic or facsimile copies, and the authenticity of the
originals of such documents. The undersigned has also assumed,
without verifying such assumptions, that all documents executed
by a party other than SCI were duly and validly executed and
delivered by such party and are legal, valid and binding
obligations of such party, enforceable against such party in
accordance with their respective terms. As to certain questions
of fact that are material and relevant to this opinion, the
undersigned has relied upon certificates of appropriate state and
local officials.
The undersigned is admitted to practice only in the State of
New York, and expresses no opinion as to matters under or
involving laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the
State of New York and the laws of the United States of America.
To the extent that the undersigned expresses an opinion regarding
any document based upon any laws other than the State of New York
and the laws of the United States of America, the undersigned has
assumed, with your permission, that such laws are identical to
the laws of the State of New York.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is the opinion
of the undersigned that:
1. SCI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Alabama, and has
full corporate power and authority to own its own properties and
carry on its business as it is now being conducted.
2. SCI has the corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver each of the Documents to which it is a party and to
perform its obligations thereunder.
3. SCI has duly authorized the execution and delivery of each
of the Documents to which it is a party and all performance by
SCI thereunder.
4. SCI has duly executed and delivered each of the Documents to
which it is a party.
5. Each of the Documents to which SCI is a party constitutes
the valid and binding obligation of SCI, and each of such
Documents is enforceable against SCI in accordance with its
terms, except (a) as may be limited by, subject to or affected by
(i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, arrangement of debt, fraudulent conveyance, or
similar laws or decisions now or hereafter in effect relating to
or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally; (ii)
the application of public policy principles affecting the
enforcement of certain types of obligations; and (iii) the effect
of general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is considered in proceedings at law or in equity)
upon the enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or
other provisions of such Documents or upon the availability of
injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable
remedies; and (b) with respect to provisions of such Documents
that provide for the parties thereto to agree at some future
date, no opinion is expressed herein with respect to the validity
or enforceability of any agreements that may be made by such
parties at any such future date.
6. To the undersigned's knowledge, except as set forth in the
Documents or the Schedules thereto, and except for filings
required under the HSR Act, no approvals or consents by, or
filings with, any federal or State of Alabama governmental
authority are required in connection with the execution and
delivery by SCI of the Documents to which it is a party, or the
consummation of the Transactions.
7. Except as disclosed in the Documents or the Schedules
thereto, the execution and delivery by SCI of each of the
Documents to which it is a party do not, and if SCI were now to
perform its obligations under each of the Documents to which it
is a party such performance would not, result in any:
(a) violation of SCI's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws;
(b) subject to the obtaining of all required consents from
governmental entities having jurisdiction, any violation of any
federal or State of Alabama law, rule, regulation, commitment,
order, judgment or decree applicable to SCI or by which any of
its property is bound or affected; or
(c) to the best of the undersigned's knowledge, violation of any
other agreement or instrument to which SCI is a party or to which
SCI or any of its property is subject that would materially
adversely affect the purchase of the Assets in accordance with
the Asset Purchase Agreement or the consummation of the
Transaction.
Based on the limitations and qualifications set forth
herein, the undersigned confirms to you that to his knowledge no
litigation or other proceeding against SCI or any of its
properties with respect to the Transactions is pending or overtly
threatened by a written communication to SCI before any
Governmental or Regulatory Body.
The undersigned expresses no opinion as to any matter other
than is expressly set forth above, and no other opinion is
intended to be implied nor may be inferred herein. This opinion
is given as of the date hereof, and it should be noted that
material changes regarding matters of fact and applicable law may
hereafter occur. The undersigned disclaims any undertaking to
revise or supplement the foregoing opinions or to advise you of
any change in the law, whether by legislative or regulatory
action, judicial interpretation or otherwise, or of any change of
facts as they currently exist or which may subsequently be
brought to the attention of the undersigned. This opinion is
being furnished only to the addressee hereof and is solely for
its benefit and use in connection with the Transactions. This
opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or entity or
for any other purpose without the prior written consent of the
undersigned.
Very truly yours,
SCI Technology, Inc.
