RECITALS

A. The respective Boards of Directors of Verigy, Holdco, Merger Sub-1 and Merger Sub-2 (collectively, the “Verigy Parties”) and LTX-Credence have adopted, approved and declared the advisability of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger and the LTD LTX-Credence Merger.

B. Concurrently with the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the respective Boards of Directors of Verigy and Holdco have authorized a Scheme of Arrangement under Singapore law (in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, with such changes as may be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by Verigy and LTX-Credence, the “Scheme of Arrangement”) that provides for (a) the exchange of all issued ordinary shares in the capital of Verigy as of immediately prior to the effective time of the contemplated reorganization, on a one-for-one basis, for new ordinary shares in the capital of Holdco with the same rights, preferences and privileges as the Verigy Ordinary Shares (after giving effect to the Charter Amendment contemplated hereby) and (b) Verigy to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (collectively, the “Holdco Reorganization”), in each case prior to the consummation of the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger.

C. The parties desire that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the business combination of Verigy and LTX-Credence contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction”) shall be effected either through (a) the transactions contemplated by the Scheme of Arrangement and the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger, if the Scheme of Arrangement receives the requisite approval of the Verigy shareholders and the High Court of the Republic of Singapore, or (b) the LTD LTX-Credence Merger, if the Scheme of Arrangement does not receive one or more of the requisite approvals of the Verigy shareholders and the High Court of the Republic of Singapore.

D. The Board of Directors of LTX-Credence has resolved to recommend to its shareholders approval of this Agreement.

E. The respective Boards of Directors of Verigy and Holdco have authorized, and the Boards of Directors of Verigy and Holdco have resolved to recommend to their respective shareholders approval of, the issuance of Verigy Ordinary Shares in connection with the LTD LTX-Credence Merger or alternatively, Holdco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger (the “Share Issuance”).

F. Each of the Verigy Parties and LTX-Credence desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Transaction and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Transaction.

G. For United States federal income tax purposes, the parties intend that (i) if the Holdco Reorganization does not occur, then the LTD LTX-Credence Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) if the Holdco Reorganization occurs, then the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and/or the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger, taken together with the Holdco Reorganization (collectively, the “Combined Transaction”), will qualify as an exchange governed by Section 351 of the Code. The parties intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization for purposes of Section 368(a) of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

(b) Verigy or Holdco to Provide Issued Ordinary Shares. As promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) business days) after the Effective Time, Verigy or Holdco, as applicable, shall make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I the Issued Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock.

Any cash and Issued Ordinary Shares deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

(c) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Verigy or Holdco, as applicable, shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”), which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock, or non-certificated shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock represented by book entry (“Book Entry Shares”) whose shares were converted into the right to receive Issued Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 1.6(a), cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent) and shall otherwise be in customary form and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares in exchange for whole Issued Ordinary Shares, cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d).

No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date hereof with respect to Issued Ordinary Shares with a record date after the Effective Time and no payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(e) will be paid to the holders of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book Entry Shares with respect to the shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock formerly represented thereby until the holders of record of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall surrender such Certificates or Book Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 1.7. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, following surrender of any such Certificates or Book Entry Shares, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest (i) promptly after such surrender, the number of whole Issued Ordinary Shares issued in exchange therefor along with payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole Issued Ordinary Shares and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to such whole Issued Ordinary Shares.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If Issued Ordinary Shares are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Book Entry Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificates or Book Entry Shares so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Persons requesting such exchange will have paid to Verigy (if the LTD LTX-Credence Merger occurs), Holdco (if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs) or any agent designated by it or them any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of Issued Ordinary Shares in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares surrendered, or established to the reasonable satisfaction of Verigy (if the LTD LTX-Credence Merger occurs), Holdco (if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs) or any agent designated by it or them that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of Verigy (if the LTD LTX-Credence Merger occurs), Holdco (if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs), the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of LTX-Credence Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirements, and to collect IRS Forms W-8 or W-9, as applicable, or similar information from the recipients of payments hereunder. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, the amount of such consideration shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Issued Ordinary Shares or shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If

-7-

any Certificate or Book Entry Shares shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to such date on which any Issued Ordinary Shares, and any cash payable to the holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares pursuant to Section 1.6(e) or any dividends or distributions payable to the holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares pursuant to Section 1.7(d) would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Issued Ordinary Shares or cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares six months after the Effective Time shall, at the request of the Surviving Corporation, be delivered to the Surviving Corporation or otherwise according to the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares who have not surrendered such Certificates or Book Entry Shares in compliance with this Section 1.7 shall after such delivery to the Surviving Corporation look only to Verigy (if the LTD LTX-Credence Merger occurs) or Holdco (if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs) as a general unsecured creditor, for payment of its claim for Issued Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 1.6(a), cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d) with respect to the shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

1.8 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of the MBCA (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Issued Ordinary Shares, the cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(e), and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d) unless the holder’s right to appraisal shall have ceased in accordance with the MBCA. At the Effective Time, the Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of the MBCA. If such holder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Issued Ordinary Shares, the cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d) in respect of such shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock.

(b) LTX-Credence shall give Verigy (if the LTD LTX-Credence Merger occurs) or Holdco (if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs) (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments that relate to such demands received by LTX-Credence and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for

appraisal under the MBCA.

1.9 No Further Transfers of LTX-Credence Common Stock. All Issued Ordinary Shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash or dividends or other distributions paid in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 1.6(e) and 1.7(d)) shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such Issued Ordinary Shares, cash for fractional shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d); provided, however, that Verigy (if the LTD LTX-Credence Merger occurs) or Holdco (if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs) may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Verigy, Holdco, LTX-Credence or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of LTX-Credence and Merger Sub-1 or Merger Sub-2, as applicable, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of LTX-Credence and Merger Sub-1 or Merger Sub-2, as applicable, any other actions and things necessary or advisable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Transaction.

(b) Schedule. Section 2.12(b) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure Schedule contains an accurate and complete list of each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan and each LTX-Credence Employee Agreement (except for (i) contracts that provide for employment that is terminable at will and that are without severance, retention, or change of control pay or benefits, in which case only forms of such contracts shall be scheduled, (ii) employment contracts for employees hired and based in locations outside the U.S., in which case only forms of such contracts shall be scheduled, unless any such contract provides for notice of termination, retention, severance or change of control pay or benefits that are greater than required by applicable Legal Requirements, (iii) individual LTX-Credence Option, LTX-Credence Restricted Shares and LTX-Credence Restricted Share Unit agreements, in which case only forms of such individual agreements shall be scheduled, unless such individual agreements provide acceleration of vesting of awards in a manner not provided for under the applicable form(s) or that otherwise materially differ from such forms, and (iv) consulting contracts that are terminable without material cost or material liability, in which case only forms of such contracts shall be scheduled, unless any such contract provides severance, retention or change of control pay or benefits that are, in each case, greater than required by applicable Legal Requirements). Neither LTX-Credence nor any ERISA Affiliate has any plan or commitment to establish, adopt or enter into any new LTX-Credence Benefit Plan or LTX-Credence Employee Agreement or to modify any LTX-Credence Benefit Plan or LTX-Credence Employee Agreement (except to the extent required by Legal Requirements or to conform any such LTX-Credence Benefit Plan or LTX-Credence Employee Agreement to any applicable Legal Requirements, or as required by this Agreement) that would reasonably be expected to result in material liability to LTX-Credence and its ERISA Affiliates, taken as a whole.

(c) Documents. LTX-Credence has provided or made available to Verigy correct and complete copies of: (i) all documents embodying each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan and each LTX-Credence Employee Agreement required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 2.12(b) above including all amendments thereto and all related trust documents, administrative service agreements, group annuity contracts, group insurance contracts, and policies pertaining to fiduciary liability insurance covering the fiduciaries for each such LTX-Credence Benefit Plan; (ii) the most recent annual actuarial valuations, if any, prepared for each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan; (iii) the three (3) most recent annual reports (Form Series 5500 and all schedules and financial statements attached thereto), if any, required under ERISA or the Code in connection with each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan; (iv) if any LTX-Credence Benefit Plan is funded, the most recent annual and periodic accounting of LTX-Credence Benefit Plan assets; (v) the most recent summary plan description together with the summary(ies) of material modifications thereto, if any, required under ERISA with respect to each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan; (vi) all IRS determination, opinion, notification and advisory letters; (vii) all material communications from LTX-Credence or its ERISA Affiliates to any LTX-Credence Employee or LTX-Credence Employees relating to any LTX-Credence Benefit Plan and any proposed LTX-Credence Benefit Plans, in each case relating to any amendments, terminations, establishments, increases or decreases in benefits, acceleration of payments or vesting schedules or other events which would result in any liability material to LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (viii) all

-26-

material correspondence to or from any governmental agency relating to any LTX-Credence Benefit Plan; and (ix) the three (3) most recent plan years’ discrimination tests for each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan for which such tests are required.

(d) Benefit Plan Compliance.

(i) With respect to each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan and LTX-Credence Employment Agreement, no event has occurred and, to the Knowledge of LTX-Credence, there exists no condition or set of circumstances, in connection with which LTX-Credence or any of its ERISA Affiliates would be subject to any liability material to LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, under ERISA, the Code or any other applicable Legal Requirement.

(ii) Each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan and LTX-Credence Employment Agreement has been, in all material respects, administered and operated in accordance with its terms, with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other applicable Legal Requirements and the terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreements. Each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan, including any material amendments thereto, that is capable of approval by, and/or registration for and/or qualification for special tax status with, the appropriate taxation, social security and/or supervisory authorities in the relevant country, state, territory or the like (each, an “Approval”) has received such Approval or there remains a period of time in which to obtain such Approval retroactive to the date of any material amendment that has not previously received such Approval, except for the lack of such Approvals which, individually or in the aggregate, has not resulted in and would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to LTX-Credence and its Controlled Group Affiliates, taken as a whole. Except as required by Legal Requirements, no condition exists that would prevent LTX-Credence or Verigy from terminating or amending any LTX-Credence Benefit Plan or LTX-Credence Employment Agreement at any time for any reason without material liability to LTX-Credence and its ERISA Affiliates, taken as a whole (other than ordinary administration expenses or routine claims for benefits).

(iii) No material written representation or commitment with respect to any material aspect of any LTX-Credence Benefit Plan or LTX-Credence Employment Agreement has been made to an LTX-Credence Employee by an authorized LTX-Credence Employee that is not materially in accordance with the written or otherwise preexisting terms and provisions of such LTX-Credence Benefit Plans if such representation or commitment would reasonably be expected to result in material liability to LTX-Credence and its ERISA Affiliates, taken as a whole. Neither LTX-Credence nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether written or oral, with any trade union, works council or other LTX-Credence Employee representative body or any material number or category of its LTX-Credence Employees which would prevent, restrict or materially impede the implementation of any lay-off, redundancy, severance or similar program within its or their respective workforces (or any part of them).

(iv) There are no unresolved claims or disputes under the terms of, or in connection with, any LTX-Credence Benefit Plan or LTX-Credence Employment Agreement (other than routine claims for benefits), and no action, legal or otherwise, has been commenced

-27-

or, to the Knowledge of LTX-Credence, is threatened or reasonably anticipated (other than routine claims for benefits), with respect to any claim, which would reasonably be expected to result in material liability to LTX-Credence and its Controlled Group Affiliates, taken as a whole.

(e) Plan Funding. With respect to LTX-Credence Benefit Plans, there are no material benefit obligations for which required contributions have not been made or accrued to the extent required by GAAP or applicable Legal Requirements and there are no material benefit obligations which have not been accounted for by reserves, or otherwise properly footnoted in accordance with the requirements of GAAP, on the financial statements of LTX-Credence. The assets of each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan which is funded are reported at their fair market value on the books and records of such LTX-Credence Benefit Plan.

(f) No Pension or Funded Welfare Plans. Neither LTX-Credence nor any ERISA Affiliate of LTX-Credence has ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in or contributed to any (i) LTX-Credence Benefit Plan which is or was subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (ii) “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA), (iii) “multiple employer plan” as defined in ERISA or the Code, (iv) “funded welfare plan” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code or (v) a multiple employer welfare arrangement, as defined under Section 3(40)(A) of ERISA (without regard to Section 514(b)(6)(B) of ERISA), established or maintained for the purpose of offering or providing welfare plan benefits to the employees of two or more employers (including one or more self-employed individuals), or to their beneficiaries. No LTX-Credence Benefit Plan is funded by, associated with or related to a “voluntary employees’ beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. No LTX-Credence Benefit Plan provides health benefits that are not fully insured through an insurance contract. No capital stock of LTX-Credence is used as a funding vehicle or otherwise permitted as an investment option (other than via any personal brokerage account) with respect to any LTX-Credence Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

(g) Continuation Coverage. No LTX-Credence Benefit Plan provides post-termination or retiree welfare benefits (whether or not insured) with respect to any Person for any reason other than coverage mandated by applicable Legal Requirements, and neither LTX-Credence nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever contracted to any LTX-Credence Employee (either individually or to LTX-Credence Employees as a group) or any other Person that such LTX-Credence Employee(s) or other Person would be provided with post-termination or retiree welfare benefits, except to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or, individually or in the aggregate, as has not resulted or would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to LTX-Credence and its ERISA Affiliates, taken as a whole.

-28-

any LTX-Credence Employee. No payment or benefit which will or may be made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) by LTX-Credence or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any LTX-Credence Employee or any other “disqualified individual” (as defined in Code Section 280G and the regulations thereunder) will be characterized as a “parachute payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code. There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to which LTX-Credence or any ERISA Affiliate is a party or by which it or its successor is bound to compensate any LTX-Credence Employee for excise taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. Section 2.12(h) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure Schedule lists all persons who LTX-Credence reasonably believes are “disqualified individuals” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) as determined as of the date hereof.

(i) Section 409A. Each “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) sponsored or maintained by LTX-Credence and each ERISA Affiliate has been operated since January 1, 2005 in applicable operational compliance with Section 409A of the Code and applicable IRS guidance (together, “Section 409A”). Since January 1, 2009, each such nonqualified deferred compensation plan has been in documentary and operational compliance with Section 409A, including the final Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. No nonqualified deferred compensation plan that was originally exempt from application of Section 409A has been “materially modified” (within the meaning of IRS Notice 2005-1) at any time after October 3, 2004. Except as set forth on Section 2.12(i)(1) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure Schedule, no compensation shall be includable in the gross income of any LTX-Credence Employee as a result of the operation of Section 409A of the Code with respect to any arrangements or agreements in effect on or prior to the Effective Time. Except as set forth on Section 2.12(i)(2) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure Schedule, to the extent required, LTX-Credence and each of its Subsidiaries has, in all material respects, properly reported and/or withheld and remitted on amounts deferred under any LTX-Credence nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Code. Except as set forth on Section 2.12(i)(3) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure Schedule, there is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to which LTX-Credence or any of its ERISA Affiliates is a party, including the provisions of this Agreement, covering any LTX-Credence Employee, which individually or collectively is reasonably likely to require LTX-Credence or any of its ERISA Affiliates to pay a Tax gross up payment to, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse, any LTX-Credence Employee for Tax-related payments under Section 409A, give rise to a Verigy, LTX-Credence, or Subsidiary Tax or other penalty or reporting obligations under Section 409A of the Code. No LTX-Credence Option or other LTX-Credence stock right (as defined in U.S. Treasury Department regulation 1.409A-1(l)) or other equity of LTX-Credence (y) has any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of such option or rights, or (z) has been granted after December 31, 2004, with respect to any class of stock of the Company that is not “service recipient stock” (within the meaning of applicable regulations under Section 409A).

(j) Stock Option Grant Practices. LTX-Credence’s past and current stock option grant practices (i) complied and comply with all applicable LTX-Credence Share Plans, stock exchange rules and applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) have been fairly presented in accordance with GAAP in the LTX-Credence Financials, and (iii) have resulted only in exercise

-29-

prices that are no less than the fair market value on the date that the grants were actually authorized under applicable Legal Requirements, in each case except for any such failures, individually or in the aggregate, that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. As of the date of this Agreement, LTX-Credence has no ongoing internal review of any past or current stock option practice, and LTX-Credence is not aware of the existence of any reports on any such reviews completed since August 1, 2008.

(k) Labor. Neither LTX-Credence nor any of its Subsidiaries is presently a party to, or bound by, any collective bargaining agreement, trade union agreement, works council, employee representative agreement, union contract, or information or consultation agreement, other than national or industry-wide agreements, with respect to employees and no collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated by LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries. To the Knowledge of LTX-Credence, there are no activities or proceedings of any labor union to organize any employees of LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries. There is no labor dispute, strike or work stoppage against LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the Knowledge of LTX-Credence, threatened or reasonably anticipated which would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the business activities of LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. None of LTX-Credence, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives or employees has committed any unfair labor practice in connection with the operation of the respective businesses of LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries, except, individually or in the aggregate, as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. There are no actions, suits, claims, labor disputes or grievances pending, or, to the Knowledge of LTX-Credence, threatened or reasonably anticipated relating to any labor, safety or discrimination matters involving any employee, including charges of unfair labor practices or discrimination complaints, which, if adversely determined, would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Neither LTX-Credence nor any of its Subsidiaries have incurred any liability or obligation under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any similar state or local law which remains unsatisfied that is material to LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(l) Employment Matters. LTX-Credence is in compliance with all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations respecting employment (including but not limited to the classification of any Person as an employee or independent contractor), employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, in each case, with respect to employees, except, individually or in the aggregate, as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(m) International Employee Matters.

(i) With respect to each LTX-Credence Benefit Plan that is maintained outside the jurisdiction of the United States or primarily covers LTX-Credence Employees residing or working outside the United States (a “LTX-Credence International Plan”), (A) the LTX-Credence International Plan has been established, maintained and

-30-

administered in all material respects in compliance with its terms and all applicable Legal Requirements, (B) all contributions and expenses that are required to be made have been made or properly accrued, (C) with respect to any such LTX-Credence International Plan that is intended to be eligible to receive favorable tax treatment under the Legal Requirements applying to such LTX-Credence International Plan, all requirements necessary to obtain such favorable tax treatment have been satisfied, and (D) the LTX-Credence International Plan has no unfunded liabilities that, as of the Effective Time, will not be offset by insurance or otherwise be fully accounted for on a basis which complies with International Accounting Standard 19 (IAS 19) (whether or not IAS 19 applies to LTX-Credence or, if relevant, any of its Subsidiaries). No promise has been made to any LTX-Credence Employee residing or working outside the United States that his or her defined contribution benefits under any funded LTX-Credence International Plan will at any point in the future equate to or not be less than any particular amount.

(ii) There is no term of employment for any LTX-Credence Employee residing or working outside the United States providing that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall entitle such LTX-Credence Employee (A) to treat the change of control as a breach of any contract, (B) to any payment, benefit or change of terms of employment (whether or not conditioned upon the occurrence of any other event) or (C) to treat himself or herself as redundant or released from any obligation to his or her employer.

2.13 Title to Properties.

(a) Leases. Section 2.13(a) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all real property leases or other agreements for the occupancy of real property to which LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound as of the date hereof, and all amendments, guaranties and modifications thereof (each, a “LTX-Credence Lease”). Except as set forth in the LTX-Credence Leases, no party has a right to occupy any of the premises subject to an LTX-Credence Lease (“LTX-Credence Leased Property”) except for LTX-Credence or its Subsidiaries. LTX-Credence has made available to Verigy a true and complete copy of leases for all material LTX-Credence Leased Property. All such LTX-Credence Leases are valid and in full force and effect against LTX-Credence or any Subsidiary of LTX-Credence party thereto and, to the Knowledge of LTX-Credence, each other party thereto, except that such enforceability (i) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, and, with respect to LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries, under any of such leases, no rental payments are past due and there is no existing default or event of default (or event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default), except, individually or in the aggregate, as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) Properties. Section 2.13(b) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all real property owned by LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries (the “LTX-Credence Owned Property” and collectively with LTX-Credence Leased Property, the “LTX-Credence Real Property”). With respect to LTX-Credence Owned Property, LTX-Credence has made available to Verigy copies of the deeds and other instruments (as recorded) by which LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries acquired such parcel of property, and copies

-31-

of all title insurance policies, opinions, abstracts and surveys in the possession of LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries relating thereto. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of LTX-Credence, threatened condemnation or eminent domain actions or proceedings, or any special assessments or other activities of any public or quasi-public body that are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect LTX-Credence’s title to LTX-Credence Real Property. To the Knowledge of LTX-Credence, there are no facts or conditions which would, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the transferability, financability, ownership, leasing, use, development, occupancy or operation of any LTX-Credence Real Property. Neither LTX-Credence nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice from any insurance company of any defects or inadequacies in any LTX-Credence Real Property or any part thereof which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the insurability of such property or the premiums for the insurance thereof, nor has any written notice been given by any insurer of any such property requesting the performance of any repairs, alterations or other work with which compliance has not been made. There are no leases, subleases, licenses or agreements, written or oral, granting to any party or parties (other than LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries) the right of use or occupancy of any portion of the LTX-Credence Real Property. There are no outstanding options or rights of first refusal to purchase the LTX-Credence Real Property or any portion thereof or interest therein.

(c) Valid Title. LTX-Credence and each of its Subsidiaries has good and valid title to, or, in the case of leased properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in, all of its tangible properties and assets, real, personal and mixed, used or held for use in its business that are material to LTX-Credence and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, free and clear of any Liens, except for, (i) Liens imposed by law in respect of obligations not yet due which are owed in respect of Taxes, (ii) Liens which are not material in character, amount or extent, and which do not materially detract from the value, or materially interfere with the present use, of the property subject thereto or affected thereby, (iii) statutory or common law landlord Liens or (iv) Liens upon the underlying fee interest of LTX-Credence Leased Property.

(h) Effect of Transaction. The execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) constitute an event under any Verigy Benefit Plan or Verigy Employee Agreement that will or may result in any material payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration of any material payment, forgiveness of material indebtedness, vesting (except as required under Section 411(d)(3) of the Code), distribution, material increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Verigy Employee. No payment or benefit which will or may be made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) by Verigy or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Verigy Employee or any other “disqualified individual” (as defined in Code Section 280G and the regulations thereunder) will be characterized as a “parachute payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code. There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to which Verigy or any ERISA Affiliate is a party or by which it or its successor is bound to compensate any Verigy Employee for excise taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. Section 3.12(h) of the Verigy Disclosure Schedule lists all persons who Verigy reasonably believes are “disqualified individuals” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) as determined as of the date hereof.

(i) Section 409A. Each “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) sponsored or maintained by Verigy and each ERISA Affiliate has been operated since January 1, 2005 in applicable operational compliance with Section 409A. Since January 1, 2009, each such nonqualified deferred compensation plan has been in documentary and operational compliance with Section 409A, including the final Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. No nonqualified deferred compensation plan that was originally exempt from application of Section 409A has been “materially modified” (within the meaning of IRS Notice 2005-1) at any time after October 3, 2004. Except as set forth on Section 3.12(i)(1) of the Verigy Disclosure Schedule, no compensation shall be includable in the gross income of any Verigy Employee as a result of the operation of Section 409A of the Code with respect to any arrangements or agreements in effect on or prior to the Effective Time. Except as

-56-

set forth on Section 3.12(i)(2) of the Verigy Disclosure Schedule, to the extent required, Verigy and each of its Subsidiaries has, in all material respects, properly reported and/or withheld and remitted on amounts deferred under any Verigy nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Code. Except as set forth on Section 3.12(i)(3) of the Verigy Disclosure Schedule, there is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to which Verigy or any of its ERISA Affiliates is a party, including the provisions of this Agreement, covering any Verigy Employee, which individually or collectively is reasonably likely to require Verigy or any of its ERISA Affiliates to pay a Tax gross up payment to, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse, any Verigy Employee for Tax-related payments under Section 409A, give rise to a Verigy, LTX-Credence, or Subsidiary Tax or other penalty or reporting obligations under Section 409A of the Code. No Verigy Option or other Verigy stock right (as defined in U.S. Treasury Department regulation 1.409A-1(l)) or other equity of Verigy (y) has any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of such option or rights, or (z) has been granted after December 31, 2004, with respect to any class of stock of the Company that is not “service recipient stock” (within the meaning of applicable regulations under Section 409A).

(j) Stock Option Grant Practices. Verigy’s past and current stock option grant practices (i) complied and comply with all applicable Verigy Share Plans, stock exchange rules and applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) have been fairly presented in accordance with GAAP in the Verigy Financials, and (iii) have resulted only in exercise prices that are no less than the fair market value on the date that the grants were actually authorized under applicable Legal Requirements, in each case except for any such failures, individually or in the aggregate, that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Verigy and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. As of the date of this Agreement, Verigy has no ongoing internal review of any past or current stock option practice, and Verigy is not aware of the existence of any reports on any such reviews completed since November 1, 2008.

(k) Labor. Neither Verigy nor any of its Subsidiaries is presently a party to, or bound by, any collective bargaining agreement, trade union agreement, works council, employee representative agreement, union contract, or information or consultation agreement, other than national or industry-wide agreements, with respect to employees and no collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated by Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries. To the Knowledge of Verigy, there are no activities or proceedings of any labor union to organize any employees of Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries. There is no labor dispute, strike or work stoppage against Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the Knowledge of Verigy, threatened or reasonably anticipated which would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the business activities of Verigy and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. None of Verigy, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives or employees has committed any unfair labor practice in connection with the operation of the respective businesses of Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries, except, individually or in the aggregate, as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Verigy and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. There are no actions, suits, claims, labor disputes or grievances pending, or, to the Knowledge of Verigy, threatened or reasonably anticipated relating to any labor, safety or discrimination matters involving any employee, including charges of unfair labor practices or discrimination complaints, which, if adversely determined, would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Verigy and its

-57-

Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Neither Verigy nor any of its Subsidiaries have incurred any liability or obligation under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any similar state or local law which remains unsatisfied that is material to Verigy and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(l) Employment Matters. Verigy is in compliance with all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations respecting employment (including but not limited to the classification of any Person as an employee or independent contractor), employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, in each case, with respect to employees, except, individually or in the aggregate, as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Verigy and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(m) International Employee Matters.

(i) With respect to each Verigy Benefit Plan that is maintained outside the jurisdiction of the United States or primarily covers Verigy Employees residing or working outside the United States (a “Verigy International Plan”), (A) the Verigy International Plan has been established, maintained and administered in all material respects in compliance with its terms and all applicable Legal Requirements, (B) all contributions and expenses that are required to be made have been made or properly accrued, (C) with respect to any such Verigy International Plan that is intended to be eligible to receive favorable tax treatment under the Legal Requirements applying to such Verigy International Plan, all requirements necessary to obtain such favorable tax treatment have been satisfied, and (D) the Verigy International Plan has no unfunded liabilities that, as of the Effective Time, will not be offset by insurance or otherwise be fully accounted for on a basis which complies with International Accounting Standard 19 (IAS 19) (whether or not IAS 19 applies to Verigy or, if relevant, any of its Subsidiaries). No promise has been made to any Verigy Employee residing or working outside the United States that his or her defined contribution benefits under any funded Verigy International Plan will at any point in the future equate to or not be less than any particular amount.

(ii) There is no term of employment for any Verigy Employee residing or working outside the United States providing that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall entitle such Verigy Employee (A) to treat the change of control as a breach of any contract, (B) to any payment, benefit or change of terms of employment (whether or not conditioned upon the occurrence of any other event) or (C) to treat himself or herself as redundant or released from any obligation to his or her employer.

3.13 Title to Properties.

(a) Leases. Section 3.13(a) of the Verigy Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all real property leases or other agreements for the occupancy of real property to which Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound as of the date hereof and all amendments, guaranties and modifications thereof (each, a “Verigy Lease”). Except as set forth in the Verigy Leases, no party has a right to occupy any of the premises subject to a Verigy Lease (“Verigy Leased Property”) except for Verigy or its Subsidiaries. Verigy has made

-58-

available to LTX-Credence a true and complete copy of leases for all material Verigy Leased Property. All such Verigy Leases are valid and in full force and effect against Verigy or any Subsidiary of Verigy party thereto and, to the Knowledge of Verigy, each other party thereto, except that such enforceability (i) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, and, with respect to Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries, under any of such leases, no rental payments are past due and there is no existing default or event of default (or event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default), except, individually or in the aggregate, as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Verigy and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) Properties. Section 3.13(b) of the Verigy Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all real property owned by Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Verigy Owned Property” and collectively with Verigy Leased Property, the “Verigy Real Property”). With respect to Verigy Owned Property, Verigy has made available to LTX-Credence copies of the deeds and other instruments (as recorded) by which Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries acquired such parcel of property, and copies of all title insurance policies, opinions, abstracts and surveys in the possession of Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries relating thereto. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Verigy, threatened condemnation or eminent domain actions or proceedings, or any special assessments or other activities of any public or quasi-public body that are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect Verigy’s title to Verigy Real Property. To the Knowledge of Verigy, there are no facts or conditions which would, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the transferability, financability, ownership, leasing, use, development, occupancy or operation of any Verigy Real Property. Neither Verigy nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice from any insurance company of any defects or inadequacies in any Verigy Real Property or any part thereof which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the insurability of such property or the premiums for the insurance thereof, nor has any written notice been given by any insurer of any such property requesting the performance of any repairs, alterations or other work with which compliance has not been made. There are no leases, subleases, licenses or agreements, written or oral, granting to any party or parties (other than Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries) the right of use or occupancy of any portion of the Verigy Real Property. There are no outstanding options or rights of first refusal to purchase the Verigy Real Property or any portion thereof or interest therein.

(c) Valid Title. Verigy and each of its Subsidiaries has good and valid title to, or, in the case of leased properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in, all of its tangible properties and assets, real, personal and mixed, used or held for use in its business that are material to Verigy and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, free and clear of any Liens, except for (i) Liens imposed by law in respect of obligations not yet due which are owed in respect of Taxes, (ii) Liens which are not material in character, amount or extent, and which do not materially detract from the value, or materially interfere with the present use, of the property subject thereto or affected thereby, (iii) statutory or common law landlord Liens or (iv) Liens upon the underlying fee interest of Verigy Leased Property.

(1) Its Shareholders’ Meeting has not occurred;

(2) It shall have (A) provided the other party hereto with written notice of its intention to effect a Change of Recommendation (a “Change of Recommendation Notice”) at least five business days prior to effecting a Change of Recommendation that relates to (i) a Superior Offer or (ii) any material change to the terms of a Superior Offer to which a previous Change of Recommendation Notice applies, which shall state expressly (I) that it has received a Superior Offer, (II) the material terms and conditions of the Superior Offer and the identity of the Person or group making the Superior Offer, and (III) that it intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and the manner in which it intends to do so (it being understood and agreed that such notice and such statement shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation), (B) provided to the other party hereto a copy of all materials and information delivered or made available to the Person or group making the Superior Offer it has received and (C) provided the other party has the opportunity to meet and discuss a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected and so that the transaction theretofore determined to be a Superior Offer no longer constitutes a Superior Offer;

(3) Either (A) on or before the expiration of the five business day period following the delivery to the other party hereto of any Change of Recommendation Notice, the other party hereto does not make a written offer, which shall be binding and enforceable against the other party and capable of acceptance by Verigy or LTX-Credence, as the case may be (a “Matching Bid”), in response to such Superior Offer, or (B) following

-80-

receipt of a Matching Bid within the five business day period following the delivery to the other party hereto of any Change of Recommendation Notice, the Board of Directors of Verigy or LTX-Credence, as the case may be, determines in good faith (at a meeting of the Board of Directors of Verigy or LTX-Credence, as the case may be, at which it consults prior to such determination with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) that after taking into account the Matching Bid, that the Superior Offer to which the Change of Recommendation Notice applies continues to be a Superior Offer;

(4) Its Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Offer and after taking into consideration the Matching Bid, if any, the failure of the Board of Directors to effect a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; and

(5) It shall not have materially breached any of the provisions set forth in Section 5.2 or this Section 5.3 (including Section 5.3(b)) in connection with such Acquisition Proposal.

(ii) In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, at any time prior to obtaining, in the case of the shareholders of Verigy, approval of the Share Issuance, and the Charter Amendment, or in the case of the shareholders of LTX-Credence, the approval of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of LTX-Credence or Verigy, as the case may be, may, in response to a material development or change in circumstances occurring, arising or coming to the attention of such Board of Directors after the date hereof (and not relating to any Acquisition Proposal) (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), make a Change of Recommendation if such Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of such Board of Directors to effect such a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that (A) such party shall send to the other party hereto written notice of its intention to effect a Change of Recommendation, specifying in reasonable detail the reasons therefor, at least five business days prior to effecting a Change of Recommendation, (B) such party shall provide the other an opportunity to meet and discuss the basis for a Change of Recommendation, the other party’s reaction thereto and any possible modification to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in response thereto so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected and (C) after such discussions, the board of directors of the party proposing to take such action concludes, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements.

(iii) Neither the Board of Directors of LTX-Credence nor the Board of Directors of Verigy shall make any Change of Recommendation other than in compliance with and as permitted by this Section 5.3(d).

(e) Continuing Obligation to Call, Hold and Convene Shareholders’ Meeting; No Other Vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligation of Verigy or LTX-Credence, as the case may be, to call, give notice of, convene and

-81-

hold its Shareholders’ Meeting, and to take a vote, in the case of Verigy, on the Share Issuance, the Charter Amendment and the Holdco Reorganization (unless the Holdco Reorganization is withdrawn or abandoned in accordance with Section 5.19 hereof) and, in the case of LTX-Credence, on the approval of this Agreement, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to it of any Acquisition Proposal, or by any Change of Recommendation. Neither Verigy nor LTX-Credence shall submit to the vote of its shareholders any Acquisition Proposal, or publicly propose to do so.

(f) Compliance with Tender Offer Rules; Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Verigy or LTX-Credence or their respective Boards of Directors from taking and disclosing to the shareholders of Verigy or LTX-Credence, as the case may be, a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any other disclosure to its shareholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Verigy Board of Directors or the LTX-Credence Board of Directors, as the case may be, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that neither LTX-Credence (with respect to statements made by the LTX-Credence Board of Directors) nor Verigy (with respect to statements made by the Verigy Board of Directors) shall, pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14(d)-9 under the Exchange Act or as required by applicable Legal Requirements, make disclosures that would amount to a Change of Recommendation, other than pursuant to Section 5.3(d).

5.9 LTX-Credence Equity Awards and Employee Benefits.

(a) Assumption of Stock Options and Plans. At the Effective Time, all LTX-Credence Assumed Plans and each then outstanding LTX-Credence Option, whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time and regardless of the respective exercise prices thereof, will be assumed by Verigy or Holdco, as applicable, in respect of only the remaining term of each outstanding LTX-Credence Option (which shall comprise the option period commencing from the Effective Time and ending at the original expiration date of the term of the relevant LTX-Credence Option) (the “Remaining Term”); provided, however, that no LTX-Credence Option shall be assumed to the extent that (i) with respect to an LTX-Credence Option holder who is an employee of LTX-Credence or its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time, has a Remaining Term in excess of 10 years, or (ii) with respect to an LTX-Credence Option holder who is a non-employee of LTX-Credence or its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time, has a Remaining Term in excess of five years. Subject to the foregoing, and except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.9(a)(i) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure Schedule, each LTX-Credence Option so assumed by Verigy or Holdco, as applicable, under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable LTX-Credence Option (including any applicable stock option agreement or other document evidencing such LTX-Credence Option) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting or exercisability provisions and including the Remaining Term), except that (A) each LTX-Credence Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole Issued Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such LTX-Credence Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Issued Ordinary Shares and (B) the per share exercise price for the Issued Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such assumed LTX-Credence Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of LTX-Credence Common Stock at which such LTX-Credence Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each assumed LTX-Credence Option shall be vested immediately following the Effective Time as to the same percentage of the total number of shares subject thereto as it was vested as to immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such LTX-Credence Option by its terms in effect prior to the date hereof and not otherwise amended prior to the Effective Time provides for acceleration of vesting. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Verigy or Holdco, as applicable, will deliver to each Person who holds an assumed LTX-Credence Option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such LTX-Credence Option by Verigy or Holdco. It is the intention of the parties that the assumption of the LTX-Credence Options shall be effected in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A and 424(a) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and under other applicable Legal Requirements. LTX-Credence shall take all steps necessary to cause the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.9(a) to occur, including but not limited to obtaining all necessary consents and delivering all required notices. Verigy, Holdco and LTX-Credence will cooperate and coordinate with respect to any materials to be submitted to the holders of LTX-Credence Options in connection with any notice or consent required under this Section 5.9(a). By virtue of the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger or the LTD LTX-Credence Merger, as applicable, and without any action by any holders of equity awards, Holdco or Verigy, as applicable, shall, subject to the foregoing, assume all LTX-Credence stock plans set forth in Section 5.9(a)(ii) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure Schedule

-89-

(the “LTX-Credence Assumed Plan(s)”), with such assumption to be effective at the Effective Time. Upon and following the Effective Time, Holdco or Verigy, as applicable, will be able to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible by applicable Legal Requirements and applicable stock exchange listing regulations, under the terms of the LTX-Credence Assumed Plan(s), to issue the reserved but unissued shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock under such LTX-Credence Assumed Plan(s) and the shares that would otherwise return to the LTX-Credence Assumed Plan(s) pursuant to the terms thereof, except that (i) shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock covered by such awards will be Issued Ordinary Shares and (ii) immediately upon the Effective Time, all references to a number of shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock will be (A) changed to reference Issued Ordinary Shares and (B) converted to a number of Issued Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Issued Ordinary Shares. The board of directors of Holdco or Verigy, as applicable, (or a committee thereof) shall, effective as of the Effective Time, become the administrator of the LTX-Credence Assumed Plan(s).

(b) Incentive Stock Options. The conversion of LTX-Credence Employee Options provided for in Section 5.9(a) with respect to any options which are intended to be “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code, and the conversion of LTX-Credence Employee Options provided for in Section 5.9(a) with respect to all such LTX-Credence Employee Options shall be effected in a manner intended to satisfy the requirements of Sections 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) LTX-Credence Restricted Share Units. At the Effective Time, each LTX-Credence Restricted Share Unit then outstanding shall be assumed by Verigy or Holdco, as applicable. Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the applicable LTX-Credence Stock Plan and any applicable award or other agreement, each LTX-Credence Restricted Share Unit shall be converted into the right to receive the number of Issued Ordinary Shares (or an amount in respect thereof for cash settled LTX-Credence Restricted Share Units) equal to the number of shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock subject to the LTX-Credence Restricted Share Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Issued Ordinary Shares). Each LTX-Credence Restricted Share Unit shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. LTX-Credence shall not take or permit any action which would accelerate vesting, settlement or delivery of any LTX-Credence Restricted Share Unit, except to the extent required by their terms as in effect on the date hereof. Copies of the relevant agreements governing such LTX-Credence Restricted Share Unit and the vesting thereof have been provided to Verigy. LTX-Credence shall take all steps necessary to cause the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.9(c) to occur, including but not limited to obtaining all necessary consents and delivering all required notices. Verigy, Holdco and LTX-Credence will cooperate and coordinate with respect to any materials to be submitted to the holders of LTX-Credence Restricted Stock Units in connection with any notice or consent required under this Section 5.9(c).

(d) Service Recognition. From and after the Effective Time, Verigy or Holdco, as applicable, will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, recognize the prior

-90-

service with LTX-Credence or its Subsidiaries of each employee of LTX-Credence or its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (the “LTX-Credence Current Employees”) in connection with all employee benefit plans, programs or policies (including vacation) of Verigy or Holdco, as applicable, or its affiliates in which LTX-Credence Current Employees are eligible to participate following the Effective Time, for purposes of eligibility (but not for purposes of benefit accruals or benefit amounts under any defined benefit pension plan or vesting of or eligibility for future equity based awards, or to the extent that such recognition would result in duplication of benefits). From and after the Effective Time, Verigy, Holdco or the Surviving Corporation shall provide LTX-Credence Current Employees health and welfare benefits pursuant to employee benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements maintained by Verigy, Holdco, the Surviving Corporation, or any Subsidiary of Verigy or Holdco that provide coverage and benefits which are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to employees of LTX-Credence immediately preceding the Effective Time, which comparable coverage shall continue until at least the earlier of December 31, 2011 or such time as the LTX-Credence Current Employees are provided with coverage and benefits which are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to persons with Verigy holding comparable positions. From and after the Effective Time, Verigy or Holdco, as applicable, will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods (to the extent that such waiting periods would be inapplicable, taking into account service with LTX-Credence) under any group health plans of Verigy, Holdco or its affiliates to be waived with respect to LTX-Credence Current Employees and their dependents to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which such LTX-Credence Current Employees participated immediately prior to the Effective Time or, if more favorable, the plan in which they participate after the Effective Time.

(e) Termination of LTX-Credence Purchase Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, LTX-Credence shall take all action that may be necessary to cause all participants’ rights under all current offering periods under the LTX-Credence Purchase Plan to terminate on or prior to the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and to allow all participants to purchase prior to the Effective Time shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock based on any purchase rights accrued as of such date as provided by the terms of the LTX-Credence Purchase Plan. To the extent shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock are not purchased as provide in the preceding sentence, on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date all accumulated payroll deductions allocated to each participant’s account under the LTX-Credence Purchase Plan shall be returned to each participant as provided by the terms of the LTX-Credence Purchase Plan and no shares of LTX-Credence Common Stock shall be purchased under the LTX-Credence Purchase Plan for such final offering period. As of the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, LTX-Credence shall have terminated the LTX-Credence Purchase Plan and provided such notice of termination as may be required by the terms of the LTX-Credence Purchase Plan. The form and substance of any such notice regarding the LTX-Credence Purchase Plan termination shall be subject to the review and approval of Verigy, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) Termination of 401(k) Plans. Unless otherwise requested by Verigy in writing prior to the Effective Time, LTX-Credence shall cause to be adopted at least one day prior to the Closing Date resolutions of LTX-Credence’s Board of Directors to cease all contributions to any and all 401(k) plans maintained or sponsored by LTX-Credence or any of its

-91-

Subsidiaries (collectively, the “401(k) Plans”), and to terminate the 401(k) Plans, effective on the day preceding the Closing Date, but conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the review and approval of Verigy, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

5.10 Verigy Equity Awards.

(a) Assumption of Stock Options and Plans. If the Holdco Reorganization occurs, then at the Effective Time each then outstanding Verigy Option, including Verigy Options under the Verigy Employee Shares Purchase Plan, as amended, whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time and regardless of the respective exercise prices thereof, will be assumed by Holdco. Each Verigy Option so assumed by Holdco under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Verigy Option (including any applicable stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Verigy Option) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting or exercisability provisions), except that each Verigy Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for the same number of whole Holdco Ordinary Shares. Each assumed Verigy Option shall be vested immediately following the Effective Time as to the same percentage of the total number of shares subject thereto as it was vested as to immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such Verigy Option by its terms in effect prior to the date hereof and not otherwise amended prior to the Effective Time provides for acceleration of vesting. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Holdco will deliver to each Person who holds an assumed Verigy Option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Verigy Option by Holdco. It is the intention of the parties that the assumption of the Verigy Options shall be effected in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A and 424(a) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and under other applicable Legal Requirements.

The board of directors of Holdco (or a committee thereof) shall, effective as of the Effective Time, become the administrator of the Verigy Assumed Plan(s).

-92-

(b) Incentive Stock Options. The conversion of Verigy Options provided for in Section 5.10(a) with respect to any options which are intended to be “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code, and the conversion of Verigy Options provided for in Section 5.10(a) with respect to all such Verigy Options shall be effected in a manner intended to satisfy the requirements of Sections 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Each Verigy Restricted Share Unit shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Verigy shall not take or permit any action which would accelerate vesting, settlement or delivery of any Verigy Restricted Share Unit, except to the extent required by their terms as in effect on the date hereof. Copies of the relevant agreements governing such Verigy Restricted Share Unit and the vesting thereof have been provided to Holdco. Verigy shall take all steps necessary to cause the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10(c) to occur, including but not limited to obtaining all necessary consents and delivering all required notices.

5.11 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnity. From and after the Effective Time, Verigy (or if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs, Holdco) shall, and shall, subject to applicable Legal Requirements, cause the Surviving Corporation to (Verigy, Holdco, and/or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, being referred to in this Section as the “Obligor”), jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor entity (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer or director of LTX-Credence or any of its Subsidiaries, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, according to the indemnification provisions of LTX-Credence’s articles of organization and bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, subject to applicable Legal Requirements, (i) Verigy (or if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs, Holdco) shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of LTX-Credence pursuant to any indemnification agreement existing prior to the date hereof between LTX-Credence and any Indemnified Party (the “Indemnification Agreements”), true and correct copies of which have been provided to

-93-

Verigy prior to the date hereof and (ii) articles of organization and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation, advancement of expenses and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the articles of organization and bylaws of LTX-Credence as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by applicable Legal Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, each of Verigy and Holdco acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, that:

(1) (A)(I) the Indemnified Parties may have certain rights to insurance obtained on their own behalf (collectively, the “Individual Insurance”), (II) the Obligor is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., the Obligor’s obligations to the Indemnified Parties are primary and any obligation of the providers of the Individual Insurance to advance expenses or to provide indemnification/insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties are secondary), (III) the Obligor shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Indemnified Parties and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of the Indemnification Agreements and the articles of organization and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, without regard to any rights the Indemnified Parties may have against the providers of the Individual Insurance, (IV) the Obligor irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the providers of the Individual Insurance from any and all claims against the providers of the Individual Insurance for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind, (V) no advancement or payment by the providers of the Individual Insurance on behalf of the Indemnified Parties with respect to any claim for which any of the Indemnified Parties has sought indemnification from any Obligor shall affect the foregoing and to the extent consistent with the terms of the Individual Insurance the providers of the Individual Insurance shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of any such Indemnified Parties against any Obligor; and

(2) the Indemnification Agreements provide for the advancement of expenses through a final non-appealable adjudication, and that no Obligor may commence litigation or any other proceeding seeking to limit such right of advancement.

(b) Insurance. For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Verigy (or if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs, Holdco) shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect LTX-Credence’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “D&O Insurance”) covering those Persons who are covered by the D&O Insurance as of the date hereof, a complete and accurate copy of which has been provided to Verigy, for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herby, to the extent that such acts or omissions are covered by the D&O Insurance) on terms and in amounts at least as favorable to such Persons as provided in the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year in excess of 200% of the annual premium currently paid by LTX-Credence for such coverage (which LTX-Credence represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 5.11(b) of the LTX-Credence Disclosure

-94-

Schedule) (and to the extent the annual premium would exceed 200% of the annual premium currently paid by LTX-Credence for such coverage, Verigy (or if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs, Holdco) shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain the maximum amount of coverage as is reasonably available for such 200% of such annual premium). To the extent that a six year “tail” policy to extend LTX-Credence’s existing D&O Insurance is available at or prior to the Closing such that the lump sum payment for such coverage does not exceed 250% of the annual premium currently paid by LTX-Credence for such coverage, LTX-Credence may, at its option, obtain such “tail” policy. In the event that LTX-Credence purchases such “tail” policy prior to the Closing, Verigy shall not take any action to cause the “tail” policy to cease to be in full force and effect and such “tail” policy shall satisfy Verigy’s obligation under this Section 5.11.

(c) Third–Party Beneficiaries. This Section 5.11 is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on Verigy (or if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs, Holdco) and the Surviving Corporation and its successors and assigns. The obligations under this Section 5.11 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 5.11(b) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Party or other person. In the event Verigy (or if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs, Holdco) or the Surviving Corporation or its successor or assign (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successor and assign of Verigy (or if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs, Holdco) or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, honors the obligations set forth with respect to Verigy (or if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs, Holdco) or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, in this Section 5.11.

5.12 Form S-8. Verigy (or if the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger occurs, Holdco) agrees to file with the SEC, no later than ten business days after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) relating to the Issued Ordinary Shares issuable with respect to assumed LTX-Credence Options and issuable upon settlement of LTX-Credence Restricted Share Units eligible for registration on Form S-8 and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement thereafter for so long as any of such options or other rights remain outstanding.

5.13 Tax Consequences.

(a) None of the Verigy Parties or LTX-Credence shall, and they shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take any action (or fail to take any action) prior to or following the Closing that (i) if the Holdco Reorganization does not occur, would reasonably be expected to cause the LTD LTX-Credence Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or to be subject to tax as a result of the application of Section 367(a) of the Code, or (ii) if the Holdco Reorganization occurs, would reasonably be expected to cause the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or the Combined Transaction to fail to qualify as an

-95-

exchange governed by Section 351 of the Code, or the Holdco LTX-Credence Merger or the Combined Transaction to be subject to tax as a result of the application of Section 367(a) of the Code.

(b) Verigy, on its behalf and on behalf of each of the other Verigy Parties, and LTX-Credence shall execute and deliver to each of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, Professional Corporation (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx”), counsel to the Verigy Parties, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxx LLP, counsel to LTX-Credence (“WilmerHale”), tax representation letters, in customary form, at such time or times as reasonably requested by each such law firm in connection with its delivery of the tax opinions referred to in Section 6.1(g) and tax opinions satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Scheme of Arrangement shall provide that the Holdco Charter Documents upon consummation of the Holdco Reorganization shall be in the form of the Verigy Charter Documents, after giving effect to the Charter Amendment.

5.19 Holdco Reorganization; Selective Capital Reduction. As of the date hereof, Verigy’s Board of Directors and Holdco’s Board of Directors have each approved the Holdco Reorganization and the Selective Capital Reduction, and each intends to effect both such transactions. Subject to compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and receipt of the requisite shareholder approvals, (a) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Shareholders’ Meeting of Verigy, Verigy and Holdco shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take such actions as may be necessary or advisable to effect the Holdco Reorganization (including making the requisite filings with, and obtaining the approval of, the High Court of the Republic of Singapore) and (b) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, Verigy (or Holdco, if the Holdco Reorganization occurs) shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as may be necessary or advisable to effect the Selective Capital Reduction (including making the requisite filings with, and obtaining the approval of, the High Court of the Republic of Singapore). However, if following the date hereof, Verigy reasonably determines that it does not wish to pursue either or both of the Holdco Reorganization or the Selective Capital Reduction, Verigy shall consult with LTX-Credence regarding the reasons for such determination and thereafter Verigy may withdraw or abandon such transaction(s) with the prior written consent of LTX-Credence, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Verigy Board of Directors may change its recommendation (if any) to the Verigy shareholders regarding the Holdco Reorganization and/or the Selective Capital Reduction at any time, provided that it has complied with its obligations to consult with, and has obtained consent from, LTX-Credence as required under this Section 5.19, and (ii) the withdrawal or abandonment of either or both of the Holdco Reorganization or the Selective Capital Reduction shall not under any circumstance constitute a Triggering Event hereunder or give LTX-Credence any rights (to terminate this Agreement or otherwise) under this Agreement other than the right to enforce Verigy’s obligations to consult LTX-Credence and obtain its consent set forth in the second sentence above. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Selective Capital Reduction” shall mean:

(1) if the Holdco Reorganization does not occur, a selective capital reduction exercise pursuant to Singapore Law for purposes of effecting an odd lot reduction program by Verigy covering holders of fewer than 100 Verigy Ordinary Shares for a total amount of up to US $35 million; or

-99-

(2) if the Holdco Reorganization occurs: (x) a pro rata capital reduction exercise pursuant to Singapore law to return up to US $35 million by Verigy to Holdco, as the sole shareholder of Verigy following the Holdco Reorganization; and (y) followed thereafter by a selective capital reduction exercise pursuant to Singapore law for purposes of effecting an odd lot reduction program by Holdco covering holders of fewer than 100 Holdco Ordinary Shares for a total amount equal to such amount received by Holdco from Verigy pursuant to clause (x),

provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the capital reduction shall be subject to reduction to the extent necessary to prevent the LTD LTX-Credence Merger from being subject to tax as a result of the application of Section 367(a) of the Code or from failing to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or, if the Holdco Reorganization occurs, to prevent the Combined Transaction from being subject to tax as a result of the application of Section 367(a) of the Code, in each case as reasonably determined by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and WilmerHale.
