Seller and Buyer are sometimes referred to as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.”
WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of September 7, 2007, as amended (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Buyer shall acquire the Transferred Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities; and
WHEREAS, it is a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement that Buyer and Seller will enter into this Agreement under which Buyer will provide certain warranty services and support to assist Seller in fulfilling its Product warranty obligations and Seller will compensate Buyer for such services, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements and covenants contained herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
| 1. | Definitions. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The definitions set forth in this Agreement shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. All references herein to Sections and Exhibits shall be deemed to be references to Sections of, and Exhibits to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. Unless the context shall otherwise require, any reference to any contract, instrument, statute, rule or regulation is a reference to it as amended and supplemented from time to time (and, in the case of a statute, rule or regulation, to any successor provision). Any reference in this Agreement to a “day” or a number of “days” (without the explicit qualification of “Business”) shall be interpreted as a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days. The following terms, as used herein, have the following meanings: |

| 2. | Warranty Services. |
| 2.1. | Pre CD Product Warranty Responsibility. Seller shall be responsible for the product warranty services and returns for Products shipped by Seller to end customers, its distributors or other third party customers, prior to the Changeover Date associated with each such Product (each a “Pre-CD Product”). Seller shall perform warranty services and returns for Pre-CD Products pursuant to Article 4 of the Transition Services Agreement (and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement then in effect between the Parties). As set forth below, Seller will compensate Buyer for the costs incurred by Buyer in the event that Buyer performs product warranty services on behalf of Seller with respect to Pre-CD Products. |
| 2.2. | Post-CD Product Warranty Responsibility. Buyer shall be responsible for product warranty services and returns for Products shipped or sold by Buyer and its distributors to end customers or other third party customers and for Products shipped or sold by Seller on behalf of Buyer to Buyer’s or Seller’s distributors, end customers or other third party customers on or after the Changeover Date (each a “Post CD Product”). Buyer shall use all of its commercially reasonable efforts (performing its respective obligations under the Transition Services Agreement and Changeover Plan) to ensure that, prior to the Changeover Date for any given Product Line, Buyer has Repair Services Capability with respect to such Product Line. In the event that the Buyer does not have Service Repair Capability with respect to a Product Line prior to the Changeover Date therefor, Seller shall continue to perform product warranty services with respect to Post-CD Products within such Product Line and Seller shall be reimbursed by Buyer at Seller’s Cost of Sales or Seller’s Repair Costs (depending on whether a Product has been replaced or repaired, respectively) plus *** of such costs for such Products. |
| 2.3. | Buyer’s Reimbursement for Pre-CD Product Replacements. To the extent that warranty services and return obligations must be fulfilled by Seller with respect to a Pre-CD Product, and the applicable Product Line has already been transferred to Buyer (i.e., the Changeover Date for such Product Line has already occurred), Buyer shall promptly provide to Seller the applicable replacement Product requested by Seller and Buyer shall be reimbursed by Seller at Buyer’s Cost of Sales plus *** of such costs for such Pre-CD Products (as further set |

| forth in Section 2.6). Any such replacement Product provided by Buyer shall be provided to Seller with Buyer’s standard warranty for such Products. In addition, if Buyer also has Repair Service Capability with respect to the applicable Product Lines, Seller may request, in lieu of such replacement Product, that Buyer provide warranty services in accordance with the provisions set forth below for such Pre-CD Product. |
| 2.4. | Buyer Warranty Processing of Pre-CD Products. After Buyer has achieved Repair Services Capability with respect to a given Product Line, Buyer agrees to accept all valid warranty claims for Pre-CD Products within such Product Line that are still under Seller’s warranty pursuant to the terms of such sales (the “Applicable Warranty Terms”); provided, however, that Seller has provided Buyer with appropriate information to enable Buyer to determine whether such Pre-CD Product (and the applicable warranty defect) is covered by the Applicable Warranty Terms (including, without limitation, any warranty registration information pertaining to such Product). Buyer will provide to Seller’s customer a return material authorization number in response to each such warranty claim. With respect to any valid warranty claim for a Pre-CD Product returned to Buyer in accordance with the Applicable Warranty Terms, Buyer will repair such Product, provide a replacement product (a “Buyer Replacement Product”), or credit Seller’s customer the amounts paid to Seller for such in warranty Pre-CD Product, in accordance with the Applicable Warranty Terms or Seller’s written instructions regarding the warranty services to be provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a specific Product cannot be repaired or replaced and there is a migration path to another Buyer product, Buyer may offer to customer such different Buyer product as a Buyer Replacement Product. For clarity, in the event that Seller has not provided written instructions with regard to the warranty services to be provided, Buyer may pursue any of the foregoing options (i.e., repair, replacement or credit) with respect to an in-warranty Pre-CD Product, in its sole discretion, provided Buyer does so pursuant to the Applicable Warranty Terms. |
| 2.5. | Quarterly Report. |
| (a) | With respect to warranty services performed by Buyer under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 above, subject to the terms above, Buyer shall submit to Seller a detailed quarterly report that includes, among other things, a list of Products within warranty that were returned along with serial numbers and confirmation that Buyer successfully repaired or replaced such Product. These quarterly reports will be delivered to: |

11
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.
| and neither Party shall be bound by, or be liable for, any alleged representation, warranty, promise, inducement or statement of intention not embodied herein or therein. |
| 8.13. | Headings and References; Interpretation. The division of this Agreement into sections, subsections, paragraphs, schedules and exhibits and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. All uses of the words “hereto”, “herein”, “hereof”, “hereby”, and “hereunder” and similar expressions refer to this Agreement as a whole, unless otherwise specifically stated in this Agreement. |
| 8.14. | Taxes. Fees and prices payable under this Agreement do not include Taxes. In addition to the fees and prices payable under this Agreement, the paying Party shall pay the amount of any present or future customs duties or sales, use, excise, or other similar Tax applicable to the sale of goods or performance of services covered by this Agreement, or in lieu thereof, the paying Party shall supply the other Party with an appropriate tax exemption certificate or provide sufficient proof of tax exemption. In the event that the paying Party is prohibited by law from making payments to the other Party unless the paying Party deducts or withholds Taxes therefrom and remits such Taxes to the local taxing jurisdiction, then the paying Party shall duly withhold and remit such Taxes and shall pay to the other Party the remaining net amount after the Taxes have been withheld. The paying Party shall promptly furnish the other Party with a copy of an official tax receipt or other appropriate evidence of any Taxes imposed on payments made under this Agreement. When property is delivered and/or services are provided or the benefit of services occurs within jurisdictions in which the other Party’s collection and remittance of Taxes is required by law, the other Party shall have sole responsibility for payment of said Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. In the event the other Party does not collect Tax from the paying Party, and is subsequently audited by any tax authority, liability of the paying part will be limited to the tax assessment, with no reimbursement for penalty or interest charges. Each Party is responsible for its own respective income taxes or Taxes based upon gross revenues, including but not limited to business and occupation taxes. The Parties understand that the Warranty Services will be performed by the Parties and/or their Affiliates, and therefore, they contemplate that, to the extent the Warranty Services are performed by one or more Affiliates of a Party for the benefit of the other Party and/or its Affiliates, purchase orders and invoices will be issued and processed between the Party and/or its Affiliates and the other Party and/or its Affiliates, as may be appropriate. The Parties will cause their Affiliates to cooperate with each other in order to minimize taxes subject to this Section 8.12 and to carry out the intent of this Agreement. |
| 8.15. | Specific Performance. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.4 above, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any Party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, may cause irreparable injury to the other Party, for which damages, even if |
12
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.
| available, may not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such Party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder. |
| 8.16. | Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts and the signatures delivered by telecopy, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures were upon the same instrument and delivered in person. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties. |
