(c) Headings. The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to any “Section” are to the corresponding Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(d) Herein. The words such as “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereof”, and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.

(j) Materiality Threshold. Wherever in this Agreement the term “material”, “materiality” or “Seller Material Adverse Effect” or any variation thereof appears, no monetary threshold set forth in any provision of this Agreement shall be considered in connection with the interpretation thereof unless specifically and explicitly tied thereto.

Each party shall submit to the Independent Expert its proposed resolution of the disputed items, and the Independent Expert shall decide only on the specific items in dispute. The parties agree not to engage in any ex parte communication with the Independent Expert. The final decision of the Independent Expert shall not fall beyond or outside the positions taken by the parties. The Independent Expert shall make its determination in accordance with Seller’s principles for valuing inventory which are set forth on Schedule 2.5(d) and shall give the parties an adequate opportunity to present their views in writing and at a hearing or hearings to be held in the presence of Buyer and Seller and their advisors. The decision of the Independent Expert (the “Decision”) shall give reasons for the Independent Expert’s determination of the value of the Purchased Inventory Value and the Purchased Liabilities Value and shall address the specific items in dispute between Buyer and Seller. The Independent Expert shall use Reasonable Commercial Efforts to complete its review within thirty (30) Business Days following its engagement. The Independent Expert’s fees and expenses shall be allocated based on the inverse of the percentage its determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount in dispute as originally submitted to the Independent Expert. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to € 1,000 and the Independent Expert awards € 600 in favor of Seller’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and the remaining 40% of the costs would be borne by Seller. The value of the Purchased Inventory Value and the Purchased Liabilities Value as determined by the Independent Expert shall be final and binding on the parties.

For the final calculation of the Purchase Price, the Purchased Inventory Value and the Purchased Liabilities Value shall be the relevant amounts as shown in the Notice delivered by Buyer, if no objection against such amounts is delivered within the relevant time period pursuant to this Section 2.5(f) or, if and to the extent an objection has been delivered, either as agreed between the parties or, in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Decision delivered by the Independent Expert pursuant to this Section 2.5(f).

2.6 Taxes

(a) The Purchase Price is meant to be a net amount that does not include any VAT. To the extent that the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement is subject to VAT, such VAT shall — to the extent it is not owed to the competent Tax authority by Buyer pursuant to § 13b UStG or any similar provision under the Tax Laws of another jurisdiction (“Reverse Charge Mechanism”) — be paid by Buyer or the relevant Buyer Designee in addition to the Purchase Price on the Closing Date. The determination (x) to what extent the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement is subject to VAT and (y) to what extent such VAT is not owed to the competent Tax authority by Buyer (or a Buyer Designee) pursuant to a Reverse Charge Mechanism, shall be agreed, in accordance with applicable laws, between Seller and Buyer prior to Closing. Based on the Purchase Price Allocation and considering the VAT basis under applicable VAT Laws as agreed between Seller and Buyer, Seller shall issue, or cause the relevant Subsidiary to issue the relevant invoices (Rechnungen) in accordance with the applicable VAT Laws at Closing. Seller shall, until Closing, declare its consent to Buyer (or a Buyer Designee), acting in good faith, to accept the assignment of any VAT refund claim (Vorsteuererstattungsanspruch) to Seller (or the relevant Subsidiary) on the Closing Date for the VAT period (Vorsteueranmeldungszeitraum) in which the respective invoice is issued, on account of performance (erfüllungshalber), to the extent such assignment is legally feasible and leads to a comparable economic result as the cash payment of the VAT on Closing. If the VAT amount actually payable is higher or lower than the amount shown on such invoice (due to any adjustment of the Preliminary Purchase Price, because VAT has not been invoiced at all for certain Purchased Assets, because the relevant Tax authorities consider the transfer under this agreement as a transfer of a going concern (Geschäftsveräußerung im Ganzen) according to § 1(1a) UStG or any similar provision under the Tax Laws of another jurisdiction, or for any other reason), the Parties shall make appropriate declarations and filings with the Tax authorities and amend any invoices (to the extent required by Law), in each case without undue delay (unverzüglich), and pay, reimburse or reassign, as the case may be, the adjustment amounts to the respective other Party. Any interest due on VAT amounts owed to the respective Tax authority shall be borne and paid by Buyer and Seller in equal portions, unless to the extent such interest is (i) triggered by a default of one party to timely pay the VAT owed to the Tax authority and (ii) it was agreed by the Parties that such VAT would become payable under this Transaction, in which case such party shall solely bear the respective interest. Any claims of Seller or Buyer under this Section 2.6(a) shall be time-barred three months after the final and binding assessment of the relevant VAT. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate for the purpose of this Section 2.6(a), in particular in respect of filing any VAT returns and claiming input VAT. If input VAT is not available solely because Seller (or a Subsidiary) does not fulfil formal requirements imposed on it by Law or

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-30-

a Tax authority for obtaining the input VAT, Section 2.6(b) shall apply to any such non-recoverable input VAT.

(b) All other transfer, sales, use, consumption or other comparable taxes triggered by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, VAT as set forth in Section 2.6(a) and income taxes) shall be borne and paid by Seller and Buyer in equal portions.

(c) All personal property Taxes (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, real estate transfer Taxes) and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based on the number of days of such Straddle Period, and Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period within such Straddle Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period within such Straddle Period. Any refund, rebate, abatement or other recovery of such Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of the Seller, and any refund, rebate, abatement or other recovery of such Taxes attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of the Buyer.

2.7 Buyer Designee

(a) The Parties agree that Buyer may assign the right to acquire and pay for certain of the Purchased Assets or to assume certain of the Purchased Liabilities to one or more Buyer Designees or that one or more Buyer Designees may enter into a Collateral Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes triggered by the assignment of rights or assumption of liabilities under this Agreement shall be solely borne by Buyer and Section 2.6(b) shall not apply in this respect, unless such Taxes are saved upon Closing and would have otherwise been triggered upon Closing had the assignment not occurred. Notwithstanding any such assignment or assumption or execution of a Collateral Agreement by a Buyer Designee, Buyer shall remain jointly and severally liable in addition to such Buyer Designee for, and any such assignment or execution shall not relieve Buyer of, all liabilities and obligations of Buyer and the Buyer Designees under or in connection with this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements. Any reference to Buyer in this Agreement shall to the extent applicable also be deemed a reference to the applicable Buyer Designee, except where in context of this Agreement such use would not be appropriate.

(b) Schedule 2.7 sets forth Buyer’s final acquisition structure including the jurisdictions of organization of the entities within such structure. The Parties agree that the acquisition structure reflected in Schedule 2.7 shall not be materially altered after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date and Buyer does not have any plans to change such structure as of the date hereof.

For the avoidance

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-48-

of doubt, a notice pursuant to the preceding sentences does in no way constitute a representation and warranty.

-50-

withholding, payment and reporting duties with respect to any wages and other compensation paid by Buyer to any Transferred Employee with respect any Post-Closing Tax Period.

The parties will use reasonable efforts to finalize such Purchase Price Allocation not later than 20 days prior to the envisaged Closing Date. Any adjustment of the Preliminary Purchase Price after Closing shall be properly reflected in the Purchase Price Allocation and the parties shall cooperate to update Schedule 5.3(b) accordingly. The parties covenant and agree that (i) the Purchase Price Allocation shall be determined consistent with an arm’s length negotiation; and (ii) they shall file their Tax Returns in accordance with such Purchase Price Allocation.

5.4 Business Employees

(a) General Principles

(i) Seller and Buyer agree and acknowledge that the employment relationships of the Business Employees are governed by the Laws of various jurisdictions and that the transfer of the Business Employees from Seller and the Subsidiaries to Buyer or a Buyer Designee as contemplated by this Section 5.4 is subject to different legal requirements depending on the jurisdiction by which the employment relationship of the respective Business Employee is governed. Irrespective of the various obligations which are set forth in this Agreement and in particular in this Section 5.4, Seller shall, subject to Section 5.4(b)(v), undertake all actions which may be reasonably required to effect the transfer of the Business Employees to Buyer or a Buyer Designee, and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate therewith. In connection with the transfer of the Business Employees to Buyer or a Buyer Designee, each Party shall comply with all applicable Laws and any written agreement with any relevant trade union, works council, other employee representative body, or individual Business Employees. For the avoidance of doubt: Sections 8.2(a)(ii) and 8.2(b)(ii) shall apply.

(ii) In the event that certain Business Employees object to the transfer of their employment relationship to, or do not agree to the assumption of their employment relationship by Buyer or a Buyer Designee, Seller shall be entitled to substitute the respective objecting or not agreeing employee prior to Closing only with another employee with the approval of Mr. [**] (acting without instructions from Seller or its

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-51-

Affiliates) or the Buyer (such approved employees the “Substituted Employees”). For the purposes of this Agreement, any such Substituted Employees shall also constitute Business Employees. In the event that fewer than the total amount of Business Employees transfer to Buyer, Seller shall provide Buyer, as of the Closing and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transitional Service Agreement, with those services which are usually rendered to the Wireline Communications Business by such employees. Buyer shall be obliged to accept such services from Seller subject to the terms and conditions of the Transitional Service Agreement for a period of at least three months following the Closing Date, if and to the extent Buyer does not notify Seller prior to the Closing Date that it shall not need any such services.

(iii) Each party agrees to provide the other party with information reasonably required by the other party to (x) comply with any legal requirement (whether statutory or pursuant to any written agreement with any relevant trade union, works council or other employee representative body) in respect of the contemplated transfer of the Business Employee to Buyer or a Buyer Designee, and (y) inform, consult or negotiate with or seek consent from its employees, relevant trade unions, relevant works councils or any other employee representative body in relation to this Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby.

(iv) Unless otherwise agreed in each particular instance, each party shall at all times between the date hereof and the Closing Date refrain from any communication with any Business Employee or Third Party which is capable or intended to cause, provoke or encourage a Business Employee to object to the transfer of his employment relationship to Buyer or a Buyer Designee or to reject Buyer’s or a Buyer’s Designee’s offer of employment, as the case may be.

(v) Buyer agrees to have been fully compensated for the assumption of any employment liabilities with respect to the German Transferred Employees and the Austrian Transferred Employees, including those which are reflected in the Purchased Liabilities Value pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(ii) and those line items which are defined as Calculation Exclusions in Section 2.5(b)(ii); provided that the foregoing does not derogate from any of the representations, warranties or other express provisions of this Agreement.

(b) German Business Employees

(i) Seller and Buyer assume that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitutes a transfer of undertaking (Betriebsübergang) pursuant to Section 613a BGB for certain of the Business Employees which are employed by Seller in Germany and which are set forth on Schedule 5.4(b)(i) (the “German Employees To Be Transferred By Law”). As a consequence, the employment relationships between Seller and the German Employees To Be Transferred By Law will transfer to Buyer by operation of law on the Closing Date, except for the employment relationships with those

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-52-

German Employees To Be Transferred By Law who object to the transfer of their employment relationship pursuant to Section 613a (6) BGB (the “German Employees Transferred By Law”).

(ii) Within twenty (20) Business Days after the date on which Seller has finalized the negotiations with Seller’s competent works councils (Betriebsräte) with respect to the balancing of interest (Interessenausgleich) procedures which are required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Balancing of Interest Procedures”), Seller and Buyer shall jointly notify the German Employees To Be Transferred By Law in accordance with the requirements of Section 613a (5) BGB by written notice. A first draft form of such written notice is set forth in Exhibit I. As soon as the Balancing of Interests procedures have been terminated (unmittelbar nach Abschluss des Interessenausgleichsverfahrens), Seller shall finalize the wording of the written notice for all relevant groups of German Employees To Be Transferred By Law in close co-operation and good faith discussions with Buyer. The notice shall set a time limit of one (1) month within which each German Employee To Be Transferred By Law must inform Seller or Buyer in writing if the respective employee objects to the transfer of its employment relationship to Buyer. Each party shall, without undue delay after the date hereof, furnish the other party with sufficient and correct information as required by Laws to fulfill the providing party’s information obligations towards the German Employee To Be Transferred By Law. Each party shall inform the other party of any notice of objection (Widerspruch) which it has received from a German Employee To Be Transferred By Law. Buyer shall indemnify Seller from and against any liabilities, claims and costs incurred or suffered by Seller as a result of any failure by Buyer to provide sufficient and correct information for (i) the notification of the German Employees To Be Transferred By Law in accordance with this Section 5.4(b)(ii), (ii) the Balancing of Interests Procedures, and/or (iii) the information of the Economic Advisory Committee (Wirtschaftsausschuss), in each case to the extent Seller is required by Law to provide such information and has informed Buyer beforehand that it will provide such information.

(iii) [Intentionally left blank]

(iv) Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not constitute a transfer of undertaking (Betriebsübergang) pursuant to Section 613a BGB for the Business Employees which are employed by Seller in Germany and which are set forth on Schedule 5.4(b)(iv) (collectively, and together with the German Substituted Employees, but excluding any such employees who have been substituted, the “Other German Employees”). On the same date on which the German Employees To Be Transferred By Law are notified pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(ii), Buyer and Seller shall offer to each Other German Employee to enter into a tripartite agreement substantially in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit J according to which Buyer shall assume, subject to Closing, by way of an assumption of contract with full discharge of Seller (im Wege der Vertragsübernahme mit befreiender Wirkung) all rights and obligations resulting from the respective Other German Employee’s employment relationship with

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-53-

Seller. Buyer shall assume the individual employment relationship between Seller and the respective Other German Employee subject to the same terms and conditions as applicable to such Other German Employee at the Closing Date, including such terms and conditions which apply under relevant collective labor agreements (including shop agreements (Betriebsvereinbarungen) and collective bargaining agreements (Tarifverträge)). In case such an offer by Buyer to assume the existing employment relationship between Seller and an Other German Employee is accepted by such Other German Employee, the parties agree that the responsibility for the liabilities and obligations under the respective employment agreement shall be allocated between them as if the respective employment relationship had been transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 613a BGB and that, in particular, Section 2.3(a)(i) shall apply to the transfer of the employment relationship of the respective Other German Employee to Buyer mutatis mutandis. If contrary to the expectations of Seller and Buyer the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not constitute a transfer of undertaking (Betriebsübergang) with respect to all or some of the German Employees To Be Transferred by Law, Buyer’s obligations as per this Section 5.4(b)(iv) shall also apply to such German Employees To Be Transferred by Law. The German Employees Transferred By Law together with the Other German Employees who agree to the assumption of their employment relationship by Buyer are collectively referred to as the “German Transferred Employees”. For the avoidance of doubt, any German employees whose employment agreement has or will have been terminated with effect prior to the Closing Date by Seller or the respective employee for whatever reason shall not constitute German Transferred Employees.

(v) Buyer has no obligation to agree with any commitments with respect to the German Business Employees that may be required or useful to reach an agreement with Seller’s work councils (Betriebsräte) on the Balancing of Interest Procedures or is in any way in connection therewith. Seller and its Affiliates shall not agree in the Balancing of Interest Procedures or in connection therewith on any measure that would result in any liability or obligation of Buyer or a Buyer Designee.

(vi) In the event that a German employee other than a German Employee To Be Transferred By Law alleges that his or her employment relationship has been transferred to Buyer by operation of law (such employee a “German Alleged Employee To Be Transferred by Law”), Buyer shall, without undue delay, give notice of termination (as a precaution) to such employee, unless it retains him or her voluntarily as an employee of Buyer. In the event that such employee raises a claim against Buyer before a labor court alleging that (w) his or her employment relationship has been transferred to Buyer by operation of law; and/or (x) the termination issued by Buyer to such employee has been unlawful, Seller shall indemnify and compensate Buyer from and against certain Losses only in the following cases and only to the following extent:

(vii) As regards pensions and early retirement arrangements, Section 5.4(l) shall apply.

(i) Seller and Buyer assume that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitutes a transfer of undertaking (Betriebsübergang) pursuant to Section 3(1) AVRAG for certain Business Employees which are employed by Infineon Technologies Austria AG (the “Austrian Seller”) in Austria and which are set forth on Schedule 5.4(c)(i) (collectively, the “Austrian Employees To Be Transferred By Law”).

As a consequence, Buyer guarantees to assume as of the Closing Date the employment agreements between the Austrian Seller and the Austrian Employees Transferred By Law with all rights and obligations under the relevant employment agreements, including any severance payments (Beendigungsabfertigungsansprüche), working time accounts (Zeitkonten), early retirement (Altersteilzeit), jubilee payments (Jubiläumszahlungen), pension claims and the rights under all collective bargaining agreements which apply to the Austrian Employees Transferred By Law and which are in effect on the Closing Date.

(ii) On the same date on which the German Employees To Be Transferred By Law are notified pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(ii), Austrian Seller and Buyer shall jointly notify the Austrian Employees To Be Transferred By Law in accordance with the requirements of Section 3a AVRAG. A first draft form of such written notice is set forth in Exhibit K-1. Immediately after the date hereof, Austrian Seller shall finalize the wording of the written notice for all relevant groups of Austrian Employees To Be Transferred By Law in close co-operation and good faith discussions with Buyer. Each party shall, without undue delay after the date hereof, furnish the other party with sufficient and correct information as required by Laws to fulfill the providing party’s information obligations towards the Austrian Employees To Be Transferred By Law. Buyer shall indemnify Seller from and against any liabilities, claims and costs incurred or suffered by Seller as a result of any failure by Buyer to provide sufficient and correct information for the notification of the Austrian Employees To Be Transferred By Law in accordance with this Section 5.4(c)(ii), in each case to the extent Seller is required by Law to provide such information and has informed Buyer beforehand that it will provide such information.

(iii) Buyer agrees to refrain from creating a situation in which the Austrian Employees To Be Transferred By Law would be entitled to object to the transfer of their

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-56-

employment relationships pursuant to Section 3(4) AVRAG, and, in addition to Seller’s remedies pursuant to Section 5.4(a), Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller and Seller’s Affiliates against, and to hold Seller and Seller’s Affiliates harmless for, (x) any salaries, benefits, employer’s portions of social security contributions (Arbeitgeberbeiträge zur Sozialversicherung) or severance payment payable to or in favor of any Austrian Employees To Be Transferred By Law who have objected to the transfer of their employment relationships to Buyer in accordance with Section 3(4) AVRAG as well as any other claims, damages and losses incurred by Seller or Seller’s Affiliates in connection with Buyer’s non- compliance with this Section 5.4(c)(iii), and (y) any claims of the Austrian Employee To Be Transferred By Law pursuant to Section 6 AVRAG, if any.

Austrian Seller shall apply Reasonable Commercial Efforts to facilitate the smooth transfer of the accrued pension contribution in respect of the Austrian Transferred Employees and the Infineon Technologies Austria Pensionskasse AG to the pension fund chosen by Buyer. In the event that conclusion of such new pension fund agreements or such transfer of the accrued pension contributions also requires the consent of the respective Austrian Transferred Employees or any other Third Party, Buyer and Austrian Seller shall co-operate in good faith and use Reasonable Commercial Efforts in order to obtain such consent. Austrian Seller shall use Reasonable Commercial Efforts, also after the Closing Date, to assist Buyer with entering into respective agreements in accordance with this provision.

(v) Seller, Austrian Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not constitute a transfer of undertaking (Betriebsübergang) pursuant to Section 3(1) AVRAG for the Business Employees which are employed by Austrian Seller in Austria and which are set forth on Schedule 5.4(c)(v) (collectively, and together with the Austrian Substituted Employees, but excluding any such employees who have been substituted, the “Other Austrian Employees”). On the same date on which the German Employees To Be Transferred By Law are notified pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(ii), Buyer and Austrian Seller shall offer to each Other Austrian Employee to enter into a tripartite agreement substantially in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit K-2 according to which Buyer shall assume, subject to Closing, by way of an assumption of contract with full discharge of Austrian Seller (im Wege der Vertragsübernahme mit befreiender Wirkung) all rights and obligations resulting from the respective Other Austrian Employee’s employment relationship with Austrian Seller.

-57-

respective Other Austrian Employee subject to the same terms and conditions as applicable to such Other Austrian Employee at the Closing Date, including such terms and conditions which apply under relevant collective labor agreements (including shop agreements (Betriebsvereinbarungen) and collective bargaining agreements (Kollektivverträge)). In case such an offer by Buyer to assume the existing employment relationship between Austrian Seller and an Other Austrian Employee is accepted by such Other Austrian Employee, the parties agree that the responsibility for the liabilities and obligations under the respective employment agreement shall be allocated between them as if the respective employment relationship had been transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 3(1) AVRAG and that, in particular, Section 2.3(a)(i) shall apply to the transfer of the employment relationship of the respective Other Austrian Employee to Buyer mutatis mutandis. If contrary to the expectations of Austrian Seller and Buyer the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not constitute a transfer of undertaking (Betriebsübergang) with respect to all or some of the Austrian Employees To Be Transferred by Law, Buyer’s obligations as per this Section 5.4(c)(v) shall also apply to such Austrian Employees To Be Transferred by Law. The Austrian Employees Transferred By Law together with the Other Austrian Employees who agree to the assumption of their employment relationship by Buyer are collectively referred to as the “Austrian Transferred Employees”. For the avoidance of doubt, any Austrian employees whose employment relationship has or will have been terminated with effect prior to the Closing Date by Austrian Seller or the respective employee for whatever reason shall not constitute Austrian Transferred Employees.

(vi) Buyer has no obligation to agree with any commitments with respect to the Austrian Business Employees that may be required or useful to reach an agreement with Seller’s or Austrian Seller’s work councils or unions in connection with the transactions contemplated under or in connection with this Agreement. Seller and its Affiliates shall not agree in such proceedings or in connection therewith on any measure that would result in any liability or obligation of Buyer or a Buyer Designee.

For the avoidance of doubt, although the Seller shall use Reasonable Commercial Efforts to insure in each case that such payments are made in five (5) Business Days, Buyer shall not charge interest to the other party for the first five (5) Business Days following such deadline.

On or before the expiration of such 60-day period, Buyer shall deliver a written notice to Seller indicating that it either accepts or rejects the German Benefit Liability Report. If Buyer rejects the German Benefit Liability Report, the notice must set out in reasonable detail the basis for the rejection.

The determination of the German Mediator of the matters in dispute shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties, absent manifest error, and shall not be subject to appeal. The scope of the German Mediator’s review shall be limited to determining whether the German Benefit Liability was calculated using the methodology plan provisions, or assumptions, as used in the definition of “German Benefit Liability” above, or was otherwise calculated accurately in any material respects.

determination has been achieved, Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the German Benefit Liability Report with such revisions as the German Mediator requires, upon delivery of the German Mediator’s report to the applicable parties.

(y) Seller shall make a cash payment equal to the German Benefit Liability, as calculated in the German Benefit Liability Report with such revisions as the German Mediator requires, if any, to Buyer in accordance with the payment methodologies set forth in Section 2.5(j) within 30 days following the earliest of (a) Buyer acceptance of the German Benefit Liability Report, or (b) delivery of the German Mediator’s report.

(z) Until the Closing Date at the latest, Buyer shall have set up one or more new CTA in order to secure the Pension Liabilities assumed by Buyer under the German Pension Plan, ZW and the DCP with terms and conditions which are substantially similar to the terms and conditions applying to Seller’s existing respective CTAs.

(y) Buyer shall use Reasonable Commercial Efforts to enter into, with effect as of the Closing Date and with full discharge of Seller (im Wege der Vertragsübernahme mit befreiender Wirkung), agreements which relate to any Pension Fund Agreements with German Transferred Employees at terms and conditions being substantially similar to the existing agreements between Seller and Victoria Pensionskasse AG which relate to any Pension Fund Agreements with German Transferred Employees. Buyer currently intends to enter into such existing agreements between Seller and Victoria Pensionskasse AG with full discharge of Seller (im Wege der Vertragsübernahme mit befreiender Wirkung) and to assume any and all rights and obligations of Seller arising out of or in connection with the Pension Fund Agreements with respect to the German Transferred Employees. Victoria Pensionskasse AG has indicated its approval to such assumption of the Pension Fund Agreements by Buyer by email from Uwe Spranke dated June 30, 2009 10:19h CET, attached hereto in Schedule 5.4(m)(iv). In the event that the assumption of the Pension Fund Agreements also requires the consent of the respective German Transferred Employees or any other Third Party, Buyer and Seller shall co-operate in good faith and use Reasonable Commercial Efforts in order to obtain such consent. The foregoing shall apply mutatis mutandis with regard to any Pension Fund Agreements maintained with any Pension Fund (Pensionskasse) other than Victoria Pensionskasse AG, if any. Seller shall use Reasonable Commercial Efforts, also after the Closing Date, to assist Buyer with entering into respective agreements in accordance with this provision.

(z) Buyer shall use Reasonable Commercial Efforts to enter into, with effect as of the Closing Date and with full discharge of Seller (im Wege der Vertragsübernahme mit befreiender Wirkung), agreements which relate to any Direct Insurances with German Transferred Employees at terms and conditions being substantially similar to the existing agreements between Seller and Allianz Lebensversicherung AG

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-72-

which relate to any Direct Insurances with German Transferred Employees. Buyer currently intends to enter into such existing agreements between Seller and Allianz Lebensversicherung AG with full discharge of Seller (im Wege der Vertragsübernahme mit befreiender Wirkung) and to assume any and all rights and obligations of Seller arising out of or in connection with the Direct Insurances with respect to the German Transferred Employees. Allianz Lebensversicherung AG has indicated its approval to such assumption of the Direct Insurances by Buyer by email from Konrad Schradin dated July 02, 2009 at 16:04 h CET, attached hereto in Schedule 5.4(m)(iv). In the event that the assumption of the Direct Insurances also requires the consent of the respective German Transferred Employees or any other Third Party, Buyer and Seller shall co-operate in good faith and use Reasonably Commercial Efforts in order to obtain such consent. The foregoing shall, for the avoidance of doubt, apply mutatis mutandis with regard to any Direct Insurances maintained with any insurance company (Direktversicherer) other than Allianz Lebensversicherung AG, if any. Seller shall use Reasonable Commercial Efforts, also after the Closing Date, to assist Buyer with entering into respective agreements in accordance with this provision.

(n) Welfare Benefit Plans

Buyer will use Reasonable Commercial Efforts to adopt welfare benefit plans, including plans providing medical, dental, life, accidental death and dismemberment, business travel accident and disability coverages, as well as any other non-retirement benefits that are required for Buyer to meet its obligations under this Section 5.4 (“Welfare Benefit Coverages”), on or prior to the Closing Date for the benefit of employees of the Wireline Communications Business (and their spouses and eligible dependents). If any Welfare Benefit Coverages have not been adopted and are not available to provide benefits to Transferred Employees effective as of the Closing Date, then Seller will provide such Welfare Benefit Coverages to employees of the Wireline Communications Business (and their spouses and eligible dependents), as reasonably requested by Buyer until the earlier of December 31, 2009 or the date when Buyer’s Welfare Benefit Coverages become effective, subject to any required insurer consents (with respect to which Seller will use reasonable best efforts to obtain). To the extent that Seller provides such Welfare Benefit Coverages, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for (i) the insurance premium cost for fully insured coverages, (ii) a reasonable benefits burden calculated on a basis that is consistent with historical practices for self-funded benefit coverages, and (iii) such other reasonable administrative costs or fees incurred by Seller in providing such welfare benefits.

(o) Latvian Business Employees

(i) Seller and Buyer assume that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitutes a transfer of undertaking pursuant to Section 28 Latvian Labor Code for certain Business Employees which are employed by Infineon Technologies Latvia SIA (the “Latvian Seller”) in Latvia and which are set forth on

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-73-

Schedule 3.9(a)-1 (collectively, the “Latvian Employees To Be Transferred By Law”). As a consequence, the employment relationships between the Latvian Seller and the Latvian Employees To Be Transferred By Law will transfer to Buyer by operation of law on the Closing Date (the “Latvian Employees Transferred By Law”).

(ii) On the same date on which the German Employees To Be Transferred By Law are notified pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(ii), Latvian Seller and Buyer shall jointly notify the Latvian Employees To Be Transferred By Law in accordance with the requirements of Section 28 Latvian Labor Code. To the extent legally permissible and required and reasonably practical, such notice shall be substantially similar to the one being sent to the Austrian Employees To Be Transferred By Law. Immediately after the date hereof, Latvian Seller shall finalize the wording of the written notice for all relevant groups of Latvian Employees To Be Transferred By Law in close co-operation and good faith discussions with Buyer. Each party shall, without undue delay after the date hereof, furnish the other party with sufficient and correct information as required by Laws to fulfill the providing party’s information obligations towards the Latvian Employees To Be Transferred By Law. Buyer shall indemnify Seller from and against any liabilities, claims and costs incurred or suffered by Seller as a result of any failure by Buyer to provide sufficient and correct information for the notification of the Latvian Employees To Be Transferred By Law in accordance with this Section 5.4(o)(ii), in each case to the extent Seller is required by Law to provide such information and has informed Buyer beforehand that it will provide such information.

(iii) Seller, Latvian Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not constitute a transfer of undertaking pursuant to Section 28 Latvian Labor Code for Certain Business Employees which are employed by Latvian Seller in Latvia and which are set forth on Schedule 3.9(a)-1 (collectively, and together with the Latvian Substituted Employees, but excluding any such employees who have been substituted, the “Other Latvian Employees”). On the same date on which the German Employees To Be Transferred By Law are notified pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(ii), Buyer and Latvian Seller shall offer to each Other Latvian Employee to enter into a tripartite agreement being, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practical, substantially similar to the one for the Other Austrian Employees according to which Buyer shall assume, subject to Closing, by way of an assumption of contract with full discharge of Latvian Seller (im Wege der Vertragsübernahme mit befreiender Wirkung) all rights and obligations resulting from the respective Other Latvian Employee’s employment relationship with Latvian Seller. Buyer shall assume the individual employment relationship between Latvian Seller and an the respective Other Latvian Employee subject to the same terms and conditions as applicable to such Other Latvian Employee at the Closing Date. In case such an offer by Buyer to assume the existing employment relationship between Latvian Seller and an Other Latvian Employee is accepted by such Other Latvian Employee, the parties agree that the responsibility for the liabilities and obligations under the respective employment agreement shall be allocated between them as if the respective employment relationship had been transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 28 Latvian Labor Code and

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-74-

that, in particular, Section 2.3(a)(i) shall apply to the transfer of the employment relationship of the respective Other Latvian Employee to Buyer mutatis mutandis. If contrary to the expectations of Latvian Seller and Buyer the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not constitute a transfer of undertaking with respect to all or some of the Latvian Employees To Be Transferred by Law, Buyer’s obligations as per this Section 5.4(o)(iii) shall also apply to such Latvian Employees To Be Transferred by Law. The Latvian Employees Transferred By Law together with the Other Latvian Employees who agree to the assumption of their employment relationship by Buyer are collectively referred to as the “Latvian Transferred Employees”. For the avoidance of doubt, any Latvian employees whose employment relationship has or will have been terminated with effect prior to the Closing Date by Latvian Seller or the respective employee for whatever reason shall not constitute Latvian Transferred Employees.

(iv) Buyer has no obligation to agree with any commitments with respect to the Latvian Business Employees that may be required or useful to reach an agreement with Seller’s or Latvian Seller’s work councils or unions in connection with the transactions contemplated under or in connection with this Agreement. Seller and its Affiliates shall not agree in such proceedings or in connection therewith on any measure that would result in any liability or obligation of Buyer or a Buyer Designee.

(v) In the event that an Latvian employee other than an Latvian Employee To Be Transferred By Law alleges that his or her employment relationship has been transferred to Buyer by operation of law, Section 5.4(b)(vi) shall apply mutatis mutandis.

5.5 Certain Collateral Agreements

Between the date hereof and the Closing Date Seller and Buyer shall in good faith negotiate and finalize the negotiation of (i) each Transfer, Assignment and Assumption Agreement or Assignment and Bill of Sale and Assumption Agreement (as well as the Schedules and Exhibits pertaining thereto) for each relevant jurisdiction, (ii) the Lease Agreements for each of the Owned Premises substantially in line with the term sheets attached as Exhibit C (as well as the Schedules and Exhibits pertaining thereto), (iii) the Sublease Agreements for each of the Leased Premises substantially in line with the term sheets attached as Exhibit D (as well as the Schedules and Exhibits pertaining thereto), (iv) the IT Transitional Services Agreement substantially in the form as attached as Exhibit E hereof (as well as the Schedules and Exhibits pertaining thereto), and (v) the Transitional Services Agreement for each relevant jurisdiction which shall be substantially in line with the drafts attached as Exhibit F hereof (as well as the Schedules and Exhibits pertaining thereto).

Each party shall furnish to the other such necessary information and assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any necessary filings or submissions by it to any Governmental Body, including any filings necessary under the provisions of the GWB, the HSR Act and under any other antitrust Law.

any communication made by or on behalf of such party to, or received by or on behalf of such party from, the FCO, the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other state, foreign or multinational governmental authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby. If and to the extent the competent antitrust authorities raise any competition concerns against the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such concerns risk leading to a decision prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer and its Affiliates shall use reasonable commercial efforts to offer to the competent antitrust authorities all appropriate remedies reasonably acceptable for Buyer in order to overcome such competition concerns and to obtain a clearance decision. If and to the extent the competent antitrust authorities do not grant clearance of the transactions contemplated herein, Buyer shall, upon request of Seller, be obliged to appeal against the prohibition decision before the competent courts, unless the appeal has no reasonable expectations of success or is against the reasonable business interests of Buyer and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to take or agree to take any extraordinary measures, including any requirement to hold separate, divest, or agree to hold separate or divest, any of the businesses, services, products or assets of Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Without undue delay after the date hereof, Buyer shall use Reasonable Commercial Efforts to obtain a compliance certificate (Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung) (the “Compliance Certificate”) from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology pursuant to Section 53 para. 3 German Foreign Trade and Payments Regulation (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung).

Seller and Buyer are further aware that, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer will not be a licensee under certain of such patent license agreements which have been described in reasonable detail to Buyer and the protection provided to the Wireline Communications Business under those agreements will cease to exist, while certain other patent license agreements which are set forth on Schedule 5.8(a) provide that Buyer, as acquirer of the Wireline Communications Business, may receive protection and/or become a licensee under such agreements following the business’ divestiture by Seller, in each case subject to the individual requirements and conditions of the individual patent license agreements (the “Potentially Available Patent Licenses”). Buyer agrees and acknowledges that the Potentially Available Patent Licenses do not constitute Purchased Contracts and that nothing in this Agreement constitutes, or shall be interpreted to constitute, a sale and transfer of any Potentially Available Patent License. Except as specifically set forth in Section 3.12(f), Buyer further agrees and acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement constitutes, or shall be interpreted to constitute, a representation or warranty of Seller or a Subsidiary that the protection under the Potentially Available Cross-Licenses will actually remain or become available to the Wireline Communications Business following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Indemnified Party shall ensure that the Indemnifying Party is provided with all materials and information in relation to such Third Party Claim.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party without reservation of rights, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement or assertion of a Third Party Claim to assume, control and direct the defense of such Third Party Claim except in cases in which the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive relief of a type that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the future operation of the Indemnified Party’s business. If the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense or the settlement against such Third Party Claim. In the event that any party exercises its right to undertake any such defense against any Third Party Claim as provided above, then the other party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate in such defense and make available at such cooperating party expense all relevant business records, documents, personnel, materials and information in such party’s or its Affiliate’s possession and control relating thereto and provide its respective experts and engineers, as is reasonably required by the party conducting the defense.

(iii) The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other party is defending, as provided in this Agreement.

(iv) The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement or judgment relates solely to monetary damages. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement that (i) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action, or (ii) does not provide for a complete release by such Third Party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 8.3(a) with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Other Claims.

In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered prejudice by such failure). Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation thereof, all with reasonable particularity and shall contain a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such a claim shall have been incurred.

10.2 Expenses

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement will bear all the fees, costs and expenses that are incurred by it in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

10.3 Entire Agreement; Modification

The agreement of the parties, which consists of this Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents referred to herein, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding, written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement. No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement (including this Section 10.3) shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby.

10.4 Assignment; Binding Effect; Severability

This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the other party’s prior written consent; provided, that Buyer may transfer or assign in whole or in part to one or more Buyer Designee the right to purchase all or a portion of the Purchased Assets, but

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-110-

no such transfer or assignment will relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder, and Buyer may assign any of its rights, title, interest or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or for collateral security to any lender providing financing to Buyer or any of its Affiliates; and that Seller shall have the right to assign to any transferee providing financing its right to receive the Deferred Purchase Price (but, prior to such assignment, Seller shall have offered such assignment to Buyer on financial terms and conditions that are the same (other than any fees charged by a transferee) and Buyer shall have five (5) Business Days to consider such offer). This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of each party hereto. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any one or more provisions are deemed illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect unless the deletion of such provision shall cause this Agreement to become materially adverse to either party, in which event the parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to arrive at an accommodation that best preserves for the parties the benefits and obligations of the offending provision.

10.5 Governing Law; Arbitration

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be governed by, and be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws and without regard to the UN Convention on the Sale of Goods (CISG).

(b) Arbitration. Following the Closing, subject to Sections 10.5(c) and (d), any dispute, controversy or difference arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any issue regarding its existence or validity, but excluding any dispute, controversy or difference arising out of or in connection with the payment of the Deferred Purchase Price by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.5(i), (hereinafter referred to as a “Dispute”) shall be attempted to be settled amicably by negotiations between the parties within 30 Business Days from the date of receipt of a written notice from a party of the existence of a Dispute. All applicable statutes of limitations, prescriptions periods, and defenses based on the passage of time shall be tolled during this period of thirty (30) Business Days. Failing such amicable settlement any Dispute shall be finally settled in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) without recourse to the ordinary courts of law. The place of arbitration shall be Frankfurt am Main, Germany, unless Buyer elects Munich, Germany. Subject to Section 10.5(c), the arbitral tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. The language of the arbitral proceedings shall be English; provided, however, that documents originally existing in German may be submitted in the German language.

(c) Expedited Arbitral Proceedings. Notwithstanding Section 10.5(b) above, all disputes between the parties as to whether the Closing Conditions set forth in Section 7.2 have been fulfilled or waived and other disputes as to whether the parties are obliged to

Infineon Technologies AG Confidential

-111-

consummate the transaction contemplated and which arises prior to Closing, shall be finally settled in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Rules for Expedited Proceedings (such rules the “Supplementary Rules”) of the German Institution of Arbitration e.V. (DIS) without recourse to the ordinary courts of law. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator. Deviating from Section 1 para. 2 of the Supplementary Rules, the duration of arbitral proceedings pursuant this Section 10.5(c) shall in no event be longer than six weeks after the filing of the statement of claim with the DIS Main Secretariat in Cologne pursuant to Section 1 para. 3 of the Supplementary Rules. Section 10.5(b) third and fifth sentence shall apply mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.5(c) shall not apply if a dispute described in sentence 1 arises only after Closing.

(d) Exclusive Jurisdiction of Ordinary Courts Munich. Notwithstanding Section 10.5(b) and Section 10.5(c) above, the competent ordinary courts in Munich, Germany, shall have exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute, controversy or difference arising out of or in connection with the payment of the Deferred Purchase Price by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.5(i) and, for the avoidance, for the purpose of obtaining injunctive relief.

10.6 Execution in Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries

Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall (a) confer on any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns any rights (including Third-Party beneficiary rights), remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or (b) constitute the parties hereto as partners or as participants in a joint venture. This Agreement shall not provide Third Parties with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving to any Business Employee, or any other individual, any right or entitlement to employment or continued employment or any right or entitlement under any Benefit Plan, policy or procedure maintained by Seller, except as expressly provided in such Benefit Plan, policy or procedure. No Third Party shall have any rights under Section 502, 503 or 504 of ERISA or any regulations thereunder because of this Agreement that would not otherwise exist without reference to this Agreement. No Third Party shall have any right, independent of any right that exists irrespective of this Agreement, under or granted by this Agreement, to bring any suit at Law or equity for any matter governed by or subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Certain Schedule Updates. Buyer if Seller shall have delivered any updated version of any Schedule(s) pursuant to the second paragraph of the preamble to Section 3 and the matters that are subject of all such updates could reasonably be expected to result in more than €2,550,000 (in words: Two Million Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Euros) in Losses to Buyer Indemnified Parties in the aggregate.

provided, however, that the party seeking termination pursuant to clauses (b) or (c) is not then in breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.
