All such Shares, when so converted, shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist. Each holder of a certificate or book-entry share formerly representing any such converted Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
          (c) Warrants of the Company. Each warrant to acquire Shares that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, upon exercise thereof in accordance with its terms, entitle the holder thereof to receive solely the Merger Consideration with respect to each Share issuable upon the exercise of such warrant.
          (d) Treasury Shares. Each Share held in the treasury of the Company and each Share owned by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.
          (e) Impact of Stock Splits, Etc. In the event of any change in the number of Shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares (including Options), issued and outstanding between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time by

9


 
reason of any stock split (including a reverse split), stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, combination, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration to be paid for each Share as provided in this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted to effect such change and, as so adjusted, shall from and after the date of such event be the Merger Consideration.
          SECTION 3.02 Options; Performance Shares; Restricted Shares.
          (a) Options. Effective as of the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary action, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of the individual option holders, if necessary, to cancel, at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares (each, an "Option") granted under the equity based compensation plans listed in Section 4.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (the "Company Equity Plans"), or otherwise that is outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested or exercisable, as of such date. Each holder of an Option that is outstanding and unexercised at the Effective Time and who has, if necessary, consented to the cancellation of such holder's Options, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be entitled to be paid by the Surviving Corporation, with respect to each Share subject to the Option, an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable per Share exercise price of such Option, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of U.S. state or local Tax or social insurance Law with respect to the making of such payment.
          (b) Performance Share Units. Effective as of the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each then outstanding performance-based restricted share unit granted by the Company based on Shares (a "Performance Share Unit"), for which achievement against the applicable performance criteria will not have been evaluated and applied prior to the Effective Time by the Company in accordance with the terms of the relevant Company Equity Plan as in effect on the date hereof to determine the actual number of restricted share units granted, shall be converted automatically into Performance Share Units with respect to a number of Nokia Shares (and otherwise subject to the terms of the Company Equity Plans, and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder) equal to the product of (A) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the number of Shares subject to the original Performance Share Units that were granted (or, for performance-based restricted share units where the original Performance Share Units were granted at the maximum number of Performance Share Units that could be granted at the highest performance level, seventy five percent (75%) of the number of Shares subject to the original Performance Share Units that were granted) and (B) multiplied by the ratio of the value of the per share Merger Consideration to the value of the closing price for a Nokia Share on the Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Time (such ratio, the "Equity Exchange Ratio"), provided that any fractional Nokia Shares resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
          (c) Restricted Share Units. Effective as of the Effective Time, each then outstanding time-based restricted share unit granted by the Company based on Shares and each then outstanding Performance Share Unit for which the achievement against the applicable performance criteria had already been evaluated and applied prior to the Effective Time by the Company in accordance with the terms of the relevant Company Equity Plan as in effect on the date hereof to determine the actual number of restricted share units that comprise each such

10


 
Performance Share Unit (each, a "Restricted Share Unit") shall be converted automatically into Restricted Share Units with respect to a number of Nokia Shares (and otherwise subject to the terms of the Company Equity Plans, and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder) equal to the product of the number of Shares subject to the Restricted Share Units and the Equity Exchange Ratio, provided that any fractional Nokia Shares resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
          (d) Company Approvals. The Company shall take all necessary action to approve the disposition of the Options, Performance Share Units and Restricted Share Units in connection with the Merger to the extent necessary to exempt such dispositions and acquisitions under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
          (e) Nokia Actions. Nokia shall take all action reasonably necessary or appropriate to have available for issuance or transfer a sufficient number Nokia Shares for delivery upon settlement of the Performance Share Units and the Restricted Share Units. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Nokia shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form S-8 registering a number of Nokia Shares necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Section 3.02.
          (f) Performance Share and Restricted Share Unit Cashout. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.02(b) or Section 3.02(c) to the contrary, in the event that Parent, in its sole discretion, determines that it is not in the best interests of the Company, Parent or a holder of a Performance Share Unit or Restricted Share Unit, to have either Parent or Nokia assume a Performance Share Unit or Restricted Share Unit, then Parent shall, no later than 30 days prior to the Effective Time, determine that such Performance Share Unit or Restricted Share Unit shall, at the Effective Time, immediately lapse and be free of any forfeiture restrictions whatsoever and be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration for each underlying Share, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of U.S. state or local Tax or social insurance law with respect to the making of such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.02(f), Parent or Nokia shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate any conversion of Performance Share Units in a manner that will not give rise to adverse tax consequences or penalties to the holders thereof under Section 409A of the Code.
          SECTION 3.03 Dissenting Shares. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Shares and otherwise complied in all other respects with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or otherwise waived, withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon

11


 
surrender, in the manner provided in Section 3.04, of the certificate or certificates or transfer of the uncertificated Shares that formerly evidenced such Shares.
          (b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
          SECTION 3.04 Payment and Exchange of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall designate a bank or trust company to act as agent (the "Paying Agent") for the holders of Shares to receive the funds to which holders of Shares shall become entitled pursuant to Sections 3.01(b), 3.02(a) and, if applicable, 3.02(f). Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares and Options, for payment in accordance with this Article III through the Paying Agent, cash in an amount sufficient to permit payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Sections 3.01(b), 3.02(a) and, if applicable, 3.02(f) (the "Payment Fund"). Such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Surviving Corporation. Any interest or other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to and be income of Parent. If for any reason (including losses) the Payment Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of Shares and Company Equity Awards shall be entitled under Sections 3.01, 3.02(a) and, if applicable, 3.02(f), Parent shall take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit additional cash with the Paying Agent sufficient to make all payments required under this Agreement, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for payment thereof. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses of the Paying Agent in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Merger Consideration.
          (b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01(b) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates evidencing such Shares (the "Certificates") or transfer of the uncertificated Shares (the "Uncertificated Shares") to the Paying Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or the Uncertificated Shares pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Each holder of Shares shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal or (ii) receipt of an "agent's message" by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration, without interest, payable for each Share represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the applicable Merger Consideration as provided for herein.

12


 
               (i) If the payment equal to the Merger Consideration is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.
               (ii) If any holder of Shares is unable to surrender such holder's Certificates because such Certificates have been lost, mutilated or destroyed, such holder may deliver in lieu thereof an affidavit and indemnity bond in form and substance and with surety reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Corporation.
               (iii) Each of Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of Shares such amount as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or any Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
          (c) At any time following the sixth month after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Shares (including, all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Share for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Share to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws.
          SECTION 3.05 Stock Transfer Books. At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Law.

          (b) A true and complete list of all Subsidiaries, together with the jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary, the percentage of the outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary, and the names of the directors and officers of each Subsidiary, is set forth in Section 4.01(b) of the Disclosure Schedule.

All Shares subject to issuance as aforesaid, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Shares or any capital stock of any Subsidiary or to provide funds to, or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in, any Subsidiary or any other person.

          SECTION 4.04 Authority Relative to This Agreement. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Merger. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Merger have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Merger (other than, with respect to the Merger, the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Shares, if and to the extent required by applicable Law, and the filing and recordation of appropriate merger documents as required by the DGCL).

Parent and Purchaser, constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (ii) general equitable principles. The Board has unanimously approved this Agreement and the Merger and such approvals are sufficient so that the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203(a) of the DGCL shall not apply to the Merger. To the knowledge of the Company, no other state takeover statute is applicable to the Merger.

          (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company do not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Company will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any United States or non-United States national, state, provincial, municipal or local government, governmental, regulatory or administrative authority, agency, instrumentality or commission, any non-governmental self-regulatory agency, instrumentality or commission, any stock exchange or any court, tribunal, or judicial or arbitral body (a "Governmental Authority"), except for (i) applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, (ii) the premerger notification requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (as amended) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR Act"), (iii) the requirements of Section 721 of Title VII of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Exon-Florio Provision"), (iv) the notification and approval requirements of Council Regulation No. 139/2004 of the European Community (the "EC Merger Regulation") or any consent required and filing requirements under any applicable antitrust, competition or fair trade Laws of any European Union member state, (v) any additional consents and filings required under any other applicable foreign antitrust, competition or fair trade Laws, (vi) the filing and recordation of appropriate

16


 
merger documents as required by the DGCL, and (vii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay consummation of the Merger or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement, or would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
          SECTION 4.06 Permits; Compliance. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exceptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders of any Governmental Authority necessary for each of the Company or the Subsidiaries to own, lease and operate its properties or to carry on its business as it is now being conducted (the "Permits") except where the failure to obtain such Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay consummation of the Merger or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement, or would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date of this Agreement, no suspension or cancellation of any material Permits is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in conflict with, or in default, breach or violation of any Law applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, except where such conflict, default, breach or violation of any Law would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay consummation of the Merger or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement, or would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary holds or is required to hold any security clearance issued by a Governmental Authority or is required to be a party to any special security arrangement with a Governmental Authority to conduct any portion of its business, except where such failure to hold any security clearance or be a party to any special security arrangement would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay consummation of the Merger or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement, or would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
          SECTION 4.07 SEC Filings; Financial Statements. (a) Since December 31, 2004, the Company has filed all forms, reports and other documents (including exhibits and other information incorporated therein) required to be filed by it with the SEC (such documents, as they have been amended since the respective time of their filing, the "SEC Reports"). The SEC Reports (i) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with either the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as in effect as of the respective time of filing of such SEC Reports and (ii) did not, at the time they were filed, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No Subsidiary is required to file any form, report or other document with the SEC.
          (b) Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the SEC Reports was prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") applied on a consistent basis

The Company and its Subsidiaries have established and maintain "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act); such disclosures controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files with the SEC is communicated to the Company's principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared; and, to the knowledge of the Company, such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective in timely alerting the Company's principal executive officer and its principal financial officer to information required to be included in the Company's periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. The Company has made available to Parent in the Data Room complete and correct copies of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures.
          (e) The Company maintains a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with U.S. GAAP in all material respects.

The Company shall, and shall direct or cause its and its Subsidiaries' directors, officers, employees,

37


 
agents, advisors and other retained representatives to (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any parties that may have been conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction and (ii) cause any physical or virtual data room (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Data Room) no longer to be accessible to or by any person other than Parent and its representatives, affiliates and advisors and the Company and its representatives, affiliates and advisors. The Company shall not release any third person from or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party unless the Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that it would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to not provide such release or waiver.
          (b) The Company shall notify Parent promptly orally and then promptly in writing (and in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours) after it or any of its Subsidiaries has received any proposal, inquiry or offer (or any amendment thereto) that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Competing Transaction, any request for discussions or negotiations in connection with a Competing Transaction or a potential Competing Transaction or any request for access to the properties or books and records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Such notice shall include a description of the terms and conditions of, and the identity of the person making any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (including any amendments thereto) regarding a Competing Transaction.

          (d) The Company may, prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, (i) withdraw, amend, modify or qualify, in any manner adverse to Parent, the recommendation of the Board of this Agreement and the Merger in favor of a Superior Proposal (a "Change in Board Recommendation"); and (ii) accept, approve, endorse or recommend a Superior Proposal, but in each case, if and only to the extent that:

38


 
               (i) The Company shall have received an unsolicited bona fide written Competing Transaction from such person (in circumstances not involving any breach of this Section 7.04);
               (ii) The Board shall have determined, in good faith after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Competing Transaction constitutes a Superior Proposal;
               (iii) The Board shall have determined, in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law;
               (iv) The Company shall have provided written notice to Parent at least three (3) Business Days prior to making such Change in Board Recommendation or publicly announcing that it may make such Change in Board Recommendation which notice shall state expressly (A) that the Company has received a Superior Proposal, (B) a description of the final terms and conditions of, and the identity of the person or persons making the Superior Proposal and a copy of the latest draft of the agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (and any amendments thereto) and (C) that the Board intends to effect a Change in Board Recommendation (and the Board shall keep Parent reasonably apprised of any developments with respect to such Superior Proposal, including any changes in any material terms during such period);
               (v) The Company shall have provided Parent with a reasonable opportunity to make such changes or adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement during such three (3) Business Day period, and negotiate in good faith with respect thereto, as would enable the Board to proceed with its recommendation to the Company's stockholders in favor of adoption of this Agreement without making a Change in Board Recommendation; and
               (vi) The Board shall have determined in good faith (A) after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the Superior Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal as compared to the terms and conditions of the Merger and this Agreement as proposed to be changed or adjusted by Parent and (B) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Change in Board Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, and has given Parent written notice of such determination promptly upon such determination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to enter into any definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal unless this Agreement has been, or concurrently is, terminated by its terms pursuant to Section 9.01(c)(i) or Section 9.01(d)(i) and the Company has paid, or concurrently with such termination pays, the Fee due to Parent pursuant to Section 9.03.
          SECTION 7.05 Employee Benefits Matters. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries, for the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time, to maintain for Company employees compensation levels (such term to include salary, cash bonus opportunities and commissions)

and benefits (excluding equity-based compensation) that in the aggregate are not less favorable than the overall compensation levels and benefits (excluding equity-based compensation) maintained for and provided to such Company employees as of the date hereof. From and after the Effective Time, employees of the Company or any subsidiary shall receive credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement (other than equity-based compensation plans) established or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any subsidiary; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit or in an unusual or unintended increase in such benefit; provided, further, to the extent that an employee of the Company or any subsidiary is paid severance in connection with the Merger, such employee shall not be provided with full credit for service recognized by the Surviving Corporation for purposes of any future severance or severance-like payments.

In addition, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, and its Subsidiaries to, advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation with respect to any matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.06 pursuant to the procedures set forth, and to the fullest extent provided in the Company's Governing Documents or such indemnification agreements; provided, however, that, prior to any such advance, any Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced shall sign a written undertaking to repay such advanced expenses to the Surviving Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification or advancement. Further, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall not, and shall cause the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, and its Subsidiaries not to, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim by or before any Governmental Authority, with respect to any matter arising out of, relating to, or in connection with any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time (in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party under Delaware law, the indemnification provisions in the Company's Governing Documents or his or her indemnification agreement), brought against any Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing and

40


 
Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation shall, and shall cause its or their Subsidiaries to, cooperate in the defense of any such matter.
          (b) The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses with respect to any matter arising out of, relating to, or in connection with any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time than are set forth in the Company's Governing Documents in effect as of the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party, unless such modification shall be required by law. In addition, all indemnification agreements with Indemnified Parties in existence on the date of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
          (c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, and its Subsidiaries to, maintain in effect for six years from the Effective Time all directors' and officers' liability insurance policies ("D&O Insurance") currently maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any matter arising out of, relating to, or in connection with any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time, including in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the Merger, provided that the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured with such policy or policies underwritten by a carrier with the same or better A.M. Best rating (and provided, further, that such substitution shall not result in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters occurring before the Effective Time); further, provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, be required to expend pursuant to this Section 7.06(c) more than an amount per year equal to two hundred fifty percent (250%) of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be approximately eight hundred seventy thousand dollars ($870,000) in the aggregate). In the event that, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, would be required to expend more than two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the current annual premiums paid by the Company, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or the Surviving Corporation, to obtain the maximum amount of such insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the current annual premiums paid by the Company. In lieu of the foregoing, Parent may, on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, elect to obtain prepaid insurance policies prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide the Indemnified Parties with D&O Insurance coverage of equivalent amount and on at least as favorable terms in the aggregate as that provided by the Company's current D&O Insurance policies for an aggregate period of at least six years with respect to claims arising out of, relating to, or in connection with any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time, including in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the Merger. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, which the Company may only obtain with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) Parent shall, and shall cause the Company or the Surviving Corporation,

41


 
as applicable to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.
          (d) In the event the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, or at Parent's option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.06.
          (e) This Section 7.06 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company, Parent and Surviving Corporation. This Section 7.06 shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to the Indemnified Parties (including their successors and heirs) or terminated without the consent of the Indemnified Parties (including their successors and heirs) affected thereby. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 7.06.
          SECTION 7.07 Notification of Certain Matters. From the date hereof to the Effective Time, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and each of Parent and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger or the transactions contemplated thereby or from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the Merger if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent purports to materially affect the consummation of the Merger, (ii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party's knowledge, threatened against such party or any of its subsidiaries which purports to materially affect the consummation of the Merger, (iii) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, and (iv) any failure of the Company, Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.
          SECTION 7.08 Further Action; Commercially Reasonable Best Efforts. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall (i) make promptly its respective filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, under the HSR Act, the EC Merger Regulation or other applicable foreign, federal or state antitrust, competition or fair trade Laws with respect to the Merger and (ii) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective the Merger, including using its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain all Permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Authorities and parties to contracts with the Company and the Subsidiaries as are necessary for the consummation of the Merger and to fulfill the conditions to the Merger. Parent and

Purchaser shall promptly submit the voluntary notice of the Merger to the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS") provided for in 31 C.F.R. §§ 800.401-.402 and pursuant to the Exon-Florio Provision (the "CFIUS Filing"), and each of the parties hereto shall make such additional filings and submissions as may be reasonably advisable under the Exon-Florio Provision in respect of the Merger. In case, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to take all such action. Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) vigorously contest and resist any Action instituted or brought by a third party, including administrative or judicial Action that seeks to restrict, prevent or prohibit consummation of the Merger, and (ii) have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is in effect and that restricts, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Merger, including in each case, by vigorously pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that undertakings, conditions or other actions are requested of Parent, Purchaser or Nokia by any Governmental Authority as a condition to such Governmental Authority's consent to, approval of, or determination or agreement not to enjoin, make illegal or materially delay, the Merger, Parent, Purchaser and Nokia hereby undertake and agree to take all necessary action to agree to a FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) license of products (but not services) of the Company (as they currently exist and are licensed or sold by the Company and as they may be modified or further developed in the future, including non-discrimination in the frequency, modes and methods by which such products are delivered) on terms acceptable to the relevant Governmental Authority, so as to permit the Merger to be completed.
          (b) Each party shall promptly notify the other party of any material communication it receives from any Governmental Authority relating to any filings, or submissions under the HSR Act, the EC Merger Regulation or any applicable merger Laws of any European Union member state that has jurisdiction to review the Merger, the Exon-Florio Provision or other applicable foreign, federal or state antitrust, competition or fair trade Laws, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the CFIUS Filing. Each party agrees to provide promptly to the other party all necessary information and assistance as any Governmental Authority may from time to time require in connection with obtaining the relevant approvals, consents or expiration of waiting periods in relation to these filings. Each party shall promptly provide all reasonable assistance and cooperation to allow the other party to prepare and submit any filings, or submissions under the HSR Act, the EC Merger Regulation, the Exon-Florio Provision (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the CFIUS Filing) or other applicable foreign, federal or state antitrust, competition or fair trade Laws, including providing to the other any information that the other party may from time to time require for the purpose of any filing, notification, application or request for further information made in respect of any such filing.
          SECTION 7.09 Public Announcements. Parent, Purchaser and the Company agree that no public release or announcement concerning the Merger shall be issued by either party without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by Law or Governmental Authority, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or

43


 
announcement in advance of such issuance. The parties have agreed upon the form of a joint press release announcing the Merger and the execution of this Agreement.
          SECTION 7.10 Confidentiality Agreement. The Company hereby waives the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement as and to the extent necessary to permit the actions or transactions permitted or contemplated by the Agreement and the consummation of the Merger. Upon the Effective Time, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to have terminated without further action by the parties thereto.

          SECTION 10.06 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and, therefore, it is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or equity.
          SECTION 10.07 Governing Law. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles governing conflicts of Law. The parties agree that any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including the Merger contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the Merger contemplated by this Agreement, brought by any party hereto, (ii) agree that all claims in respect of such Action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in such court; and (iii) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject to the personal jurisdiction of the above-named court, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Merger may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.
          (b) Each of the parties hereto agrees to waive any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect to any action or proceeding, including an appeal thereof.
          (c) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to this Agreement, on behalf of itself or its property, by the personal delivery of copies of such process to such party or by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Section 10.07(c) shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.
          SECTION 10.08 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MERGER. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE MERGER, AS APPLICABLE, BY,
