policies, practices and procedures of Philips and the Company and in the same manner, with consistent classification and estimation methodology, as the Audited Net Operating Capital Statement, and (iii) to the extent further supplemental guidance is required, GAAP.

(b) Review of Closing Date Financial Statements. Newco shall complete its review of the Closing Date Financial Statements within thirty (30) days after delivery thereof by Philips. In the event that Newco determines that the Closing Date Financial Statements have not been prepared on the basis set forth in Section 2.7(a), Newco shall, on or before the last day of such 30-day period, so inform Philips in writing (such writing, “Newco’s Objection”), setting forth a detailed description of the basis of Newco’s determination and the adjustments to the Closing Date Financial Statements that Newco believes should be made; provided, however, that (i) no item of dispute shall be the subject of Newco’s Objection unless the amount proposed by Newco for such item differs from the amount of such item for purposes of the preparation of the Closing Date Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(a) by more than €250,000 and the aggregate amount of Newco’s adjustments would cause the Closing Date Financial Statements (if accepted in accordance with the succeeding paragraph) to differ from the Closing Date Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(a) by more than €10 million, in which case the entire amounts and not just the excess over €250,000 or €10 million, as the case may be, may be proposed; (ii) unless a proposal is made based on a consistent application of the accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures set forth in Section 2.7(a), no item of dispute shall be the subject of Newco’s Objection that is based on developments after the Closing Date or involves a judgment as to the future prospects of the Business or similar matters that are forward-looking in nature; and (iii) no adjustments shall be permitted to the extent they relate to (A) the specific indemnity rights set out in this Agreement relating to Company X Claims, Company X Losses or Related Claims, (B) the specific Tax indemnities set out in Section 6.9 (but for the avoidance of doubt it being understood that if a particular Tax Liability is included in the definition of Closing Date Net Working Capital, nothing shall prevent Newco from proposing adjustments for such items and if and to the extent such items result in an adjustment of the Purchase Price there shall be no double claim under Section 6.9) or (C) matters that are the subject of a settled indemnification claim already notified under this Agreement. In connection with, and as a condition to, the resolution of Newco’s Objection, Philips and Newco shall enter into an agreement stating that such resolution shall foreclose any right to indemnification with respect to the matters at issue to the extent they would otherwise also have been recoverable pursuant to Section 8.2. If no Newco’s Objection is received by Philips on or before the last day of such 30-day period, then the Closing Date Net Cash Position and the Closing Date Net Working Capital

- 15 -

#####

derived from the Closing Date Net Financial Statements delivered by Philips to Newco shall be final.
(c) Determination by Independent Accountant. Philips shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of Newco’s Objection to review and respond to Newco’s Objection. If Philips and Newco are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the proposed adjustments set forth in Newco’s Objection within fifteen (15) days following the completion of Philips’ review of Newco’s Objection, each of them shall have the right to refer any remaining disagreements (the “Remaining Disagreements”) to the Independent Accountant which, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, shall determine, on the basis set forth in and in accordance with Section 2.7(a), and only with respect to the Remaining Disagreements so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Date Net Cash Statement, the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, the Closing Date Net Cash Position and/or the Closing Date Net Working Capital require adjustment. Newco and Philips shall instruct the Independent Accountant to deliver its written determination to Newco and Philips no later than thirty (30) days after the Remaining Disagreements are referred to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Newco and Philips and their respective Affiliates, absent manifest error. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Philips and Newco in the proportion that the aggregate value of those Remaining Disagreements that the Independent Accountant determines require adjustment bears to the aggregate value of those Remaining Disagreements that the Independent Accountant determines not to require adjustment. Philips and Newco shall make readily available to the Independent Accountant all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of the Parties’ respective accountants, subject to customary hold-harmless agreements) relating to the Closing Date Financial Statements and Newco’s Objection and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant in connection therewith.
(d) Cooperation. Newco and the Company shall provide to Philips and its accountants full access to the books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and to any other information, including work papers of its accountants (subject to customary hold harmless covenants), and to any employees during regular business hours and on reasonable advance notice, to the extent necessary for Philips to prepare the Closing Date Financial Statements, to respond to Newco’s Objection and to prepare materials for presentation to the Independent Accountant in connection with Section 2.7(c). Newco and its accountants shall be provided full access to all information used by Philips in preparing the Closing Date Financial Statements, including the work papers of its accountants (subject to customary hold harmless covenants).
(e) Payment of Adjustment Amount. If the sum (the “Adjustment Amount”) of (i) the result of the Closing Date Net Cash Position minus the Reference Net Cash Position and (ii) the result of the Closing Date Net Working Capital minus the Reference Net Working Capital is a positive number, Newco shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after the final determination thereof pay to Philips the

#####

Adjustment Amount, and, if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, Philips shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after the final determination thereof pay to Newco the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount, in each case, plus interest from the Closing Date to, but not including, the date of payment at EURIBOR calculated based on (i) the actual number of days between the Closing Date and the date of payment of the Adjustment Amount, divided by (ii) 365, in Euros by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Philips or Newco, as the case may be. For purposes of calculating the Closing Date Net Cash Position and the Closing Date Net Working Capital, any amounts in currencies other than Euros shall be translated into Euros using the applicable exchange rates prevailing on the Closing Date.

(d) Newco shall bear all filing fees and other costs in relating to any filings (including submissions of additional information or documentary material) made pursuant to this Section 6.7, along with any and all costs, penalties and fines resulting from the failure to make a filing (including a submission of additional information or documentary material) required in order to obtain an Antitrust Approval, to the extent such failure is attributable to Newco.
(e) Philips and Newco shall cooperate with each other and shall furnish to the other Party all information necessary or desirable in connection with making any filing under any the Antitrust Laws, and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry by any Governmental Authority under any of the Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transaction.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary thereof, Newco shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to: (i) provide employee benefits that are the same as, or in the aggregate substantially comparable to, the employee benefits currently provided to the Employees and (ii) honor, pay, perform and satisfy any and all Liabilities, obligations and responsibilities to or in respect to each current Employee or former employee in the Business under the terms of each Benefit Plan or applicable Law and each between the Company and such Employee or former employee, in each case, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit Newco, or the Company or any Company Subsidiary, from exercising after the Closing any reserved right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate any Benefit Plan or other employee compensation or benefit arrangement. Newco shall cause each employee benefit plan or arrangement maintained or contributed to by Newco, the Company or any Company Subsidiary and in which an Employee participates or will participate to recognize all service of such Employee with the Company or any Company Subsidiary (to the extent such credit was given by the comparable Benefit Plan) for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not for purposes of determining the amount of benefits or contributions) and, if applicable, to waive any exclusions for preexisting conditions under applicable group health plans (to the extent such conditions were covered under the applicable Benefit Plan). For so long as any Employee participates in any Benefit Plan of Philips or any Affiliate of Philips, Newco shall not, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries not to, take any action that would be reasonably likely to have or result in material adverse effect on Philips with respect to such Benefit Plan, and Newco shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, cooperate with Philips in connection with administering any such Benefit Plan.
(b) Reference is made to paragraph 8 of the Disentanglement Schedule.

- 34 -

#####

Philips shall procure a bundled transfer of liabilities to any funding vehicle appointed by Newco and shall also procure that such transfer will be combined with a transfer of assets which, at the transfer date, equals the greater of (i) the accumulated benefit obligations (ABO) value of the transferred liabilities as calculated on the basis of actuarial and economic assumptions consistently applied by Philips for the purpose of its annual accounts in accordance with the past accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures of Philips or (ii) the level required to fund the transferred liabilities (including for the avoidance of doubt the required reserves), in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements (as determined by the Dutch Central Bank or any other Governmental Authority supervising such transfers). Such compliance will be determined (i) in accordance with the valuation principles of the Philips pension fund from which they will be transferred and (ii) for The Netherlands, based on the assumption that the investment policy of the funding vehicle appointed by Newco will be equal to the investment policy of the Philips pension fund in the Netherlands regarding the plan assets of the relevant Benefit Plan at the designated transfer date (the “Transfer Date”). Philips’ obligation to procure such transfers of assets and liabilities will only apply if the possibility of such transfer of assets and liabilities is either approved by the board of trustees of the relevant Philips pension fund or permitted by the relevant insurance contract and, if and when legally required, to the extent that the particular employees agree to (i) a transfer of their accrued rights under the conditions as referred to above and (ii) any other condition as determined by the board of trustees of the relevant pension fund or as permitted by the terms and conditions of the relevant insurance contract. If and to the extent that any transfer will be completed after the Transfer Date, the asset transfer will equal the transfer value as per the Transfer Date plus any interest accrued on that transfer value on the basis of 6-month EURIBOR between the Transfer Date and the date the liabilities actually transfer.
(c) In addition, the arrangements set out in Schedule 6.8(c) will apply.

Philips and its Affiliates shall have the exclusive authority and obligation to prepare all Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or which include the Company or any Company Subsidiary described in the preceding sentence that are due with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Such authority shall include the determination of the manner in which any items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit arising out of the income, properties and

#####

operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall be reported or disclosed in such Tax Returns; provided, however, that such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practices with respect to such items, unless otherwise required by Law. Philips shall provide Newco drafts of such Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Returns (including extensions). At least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Returns (including extensions), Newco shall notify Philips in writing of any objections to any items set forth on such draft Tax Returns. Philips and Newco agree to consult and resolve in good faith any such objection.
(ii) Newco shall prepare and file in proper form with the appropriate Taxing Authority or shall cause the Company or one or more Company Subsidiaries to prepare and file in proper form with the appropriate Taxing Authority all Tax Returns of the Company or a Company Subsidiary or which include the Company or any Company Subsidiary for Tax Periods for which Philips is not responsible pursuant to Section 6.9(a)(i) and shall pay or shall cause to be paid any and all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns. If any portion of the Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns is allocable to Philips, and Philips is liable for such Taxes, under Section 6.9(b), Newco shall provide Philips with written notice of the amount at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the relevant Tax Return is required to be filed by Newco or payment of such Taxes is otherwise due, and Philips shall pay such amount to Newco no later than five Business Days before such Taxes are due and payable. For 60 days after Closing, the requirements of the preceding sentence shall be applied in a manner that reasonably and in good faith reflects Newco’s ability to assume the administrative responsibilities described in the preceding two sentences.
(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, (A) the term “Pre-Closing Tax Period” means a Tax period or portion thereof that ends on or prior to the Closing Date; if a Tax period begins on or prior to the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, then the portion of the Tax period that ends on and includes the Closing Date shall constitute a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (B) the term “Post-Closing Tax Period” means any Tax period that begins after the Closing Date; if a Tax period begins on or prior to the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, then the portion of the Tax period that begins immediately after the Closing Date shall constitute a Post-Closing Tax Period and (C) the term “Straddle Tax Period” means any Tax period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date.
(b) Apportionment and Allocation of Taxes. All Taxes and Tax Liabilities with respect to the income, property or operations of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that relate to a Straddle Tax Period shall be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period as follows: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts, capital or net worth or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or

- 36 -

#####

other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) (other than conveyances pursuant to this Agreement, as provided under Section 6.9(g)), such Taxes shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the Tax year ended with the Closing Date (provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned on a time basis) and (ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis other than those described in clause (i), including property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations, such Taxes shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Tax Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period. Subject to Section 6.9(f), (i) Philips shall be liable for all Taxes of the Company and any Company Subsidiary that are attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, whether shown on any original Tax Return or amended Tax Return for the period therein, if such Taxes exceed, in the aggregate, €10 million (and then for the entire such amount and not just the amount in excess of €10 million) and are not attributable to a timing item as defined in Section 6.9(f)(iii) and (ii) Newco shall be liable for all Taxes that are attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, Philips shall pay or cause to be paid any Tax or Tax liability apportioned or allocated to Philips pursuant to the preceding sentence that is due to be paid with respect to any original Tax Return filed after the date of this Agreement. Philips shall pay Newco an amount equal to any amount of Tax for which Philips is liable pursuant to this Section 6.9(b) no later than three Business Days before such Taxes are due and payable.
(c) Refunds. Newco shall pay or cause to be paid to Philips any refunds of Taxes attributable to any Tax Returns filed prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that exceed the amounts reserved for such refunds, net of any costs attributable to the receipt of such refund, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such refund. All refunds of Taxes that (i) do not exceed the amounts reserved for refunds or (ii) are attributable to any Tax Returns filed on or after the date of this Agreement or to any Post-Closing Tax Period, and that are received by Newco, the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be for the benefit of Newco.
(d) Cooperation; Audits. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Taxes, Newco, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Philips, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each other, including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required and at no cost to the other Party), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Taxing Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes. Philips, Newco, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all material records or other documents relating to all Taxes of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for the Tax period first

- 37 -

#####

ending after the Closing Date and for all prior Tax periods until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the Tax periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, including any extension or (ii) seven years following the due date for such Tax Returns, and each of Philips and Newco shall maintain such Tax Returns, schedules, work papers, records and documents in the same manner and with the same care it uses in maintaining its Tax Returns, schedules, work papers, records and documents. Philips, on the one hand, and each of Newco, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to destroying or discarding any such books or records and, if the other Party so requests, the other Party shall take possession of such books and records prior to the destruction thereof. Any information obtained under this Section 6.9(d) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.
(e) Controversies. Newco shall notify Philips in writing, and in reasonable detail (taking into account the information then available), within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Newco or any Affiliate of Newco (including the Company or any Company Subsidiary after the Closing Date) of written notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which Philips may be liable under Section 6.9(b) and Section 6.9(f) (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Matter”); provided, however, that delay or failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided in Section 6.9(f) except to the extent Philips shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such delay or failure. For Tax Matters relating solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which Philips acknowledges without reservation its obligation to indemnify Newco therefore according to Section 6.9(b) and Section 6.9(f), Philips, at its own expense, shall have the exclusive authority to represent the interests of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to any Tax Matter before the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, any other Taxing Authority, any other governmental agency or authority or any court and shall have the sole right to extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to a Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns and settling audits or lawsuits; provided, however, that Philips shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any Tax Matter that affects or may affect the Tax Liability of Newco, the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Post-Closing Tax Period, including any Straddle Tax Period, without the prior written consent of Newco, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Philips shall keep Newco fully and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any Tax Matter. Philips and Newco shall jointly represent the interests of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to all Tax Matters relating to a Straddle Tax Period or relating to both a Pre-Closing Tax Period and a Post-Closing Tax Period. Philips shall, in good faith, allow Newco or Newco’s counsel to consult with it regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.
(f) Indemnification.

- 38 -

#####

(i) If in excess of, in the aggregate, €10 million (and then for the entire such amount and not just the amount in excess of €10 million) and subject to Section 6.9(f)(iii) and (iv), Philips shall indemnify Newco in the form of an adjustment to the Purchase Price against (A) any Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period resulting from, arising out of, relating to or caused by any Liability or obligation of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for Taxes of any person other than the Company or any Company Subsidiary and all Losses relating to such Taxes, (B) any Taxes and any Losses in respect of such Taxes imposed on the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a result of the failure of any member of the Philips Group to discharge such member’s obligation in respect of such Taxes (unless such Taxes relate to a Post-Closing Period and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is primarily liable for such Taxes), (C) any Losses to Newco, the Company or any Company Subsidiary resulting from a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.8 or any covenant in this Section 6.9, (D) any Taxes and any Losses relating to such Taxes imposed on Newco, the Company or any Company Subsidiary directly or indirectly as a result of the Transaction (including any Taxes incurred as a result of the application of Section 179 of the Taxation of Capital Gains Act 1992 (United Kingdom) or similar provisions of state, local or foreign Law) and (E) any Taxes and any Losses relating to such Taxes imposed on the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Philips shall discharge its obligation to indemnify Newco against such Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax by paying to Newco an amount equal to the amount of such Tax or Loss relating to such Tax. In determining (A) whether any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.8 was true and correct as of any particular date and (B) the amount of any Losses in respect of the failure of any such representation or warranty to be true and correct as of any particular date, any materiality standard applying to or contained in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded.
(ii) Newco shall indemnify Philips from and against (A) any Taxes and any Losses relating to such Taxes paid by Philips or any Affiliate of Philips (other than the Company or a Company Subsidiary) imposed on Newco, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Affiliate of Newco for any Post-Closing Tax Period and (B) any breach of any covenant in this Section 6.9 by Newco or any of its Affiliates. Newco shall discharge its obligation to indemnify Philips against such Post-Closing Tax Period Tax by paying to Philips an amount equal to the amount of such Tax.
(iii) Notwithstanding Section 6.9(f)(i), Philips’ indemnity shall not apply to any Tax or Loss attributable to the adverse treatment of a timing item in any Pre-Closing Tax Period. For this purpose, an “adverse treatment of a timing item” shall mean any deduction, loss or credit of an item properly claimed or deducted in the normal course applying normal fiscal principles but disallowed by the Taxing Authorities to the extent the adverse tax treatment of such item in a Pre-Closing Tax Period gives rise to an equivalent amount of deduction, loss, or

- 39 -

#####

credit, as the case may be, actually realized in any Post-Closing Tax Period. For purposes of illustration, and without limiting the foregoing, the capitalization of an amount that has been deducted in a Pre-Closing Tax Period amounts to an adverse treatment of a timing item to the extent that the amount capitalized actually results in depreciation or amortization deductions in a Post-Closing Tax Period. The value of any such timing item shall be calculated in the same manner as a “net Tax benefit” pursuant to Section 8.5(c).
(iv) Notwithstanding Section 6.9(f)(i), Philips’ indemnity shall not apply to the extent that (A) a provision or reserve in respect of that Tax or Loss has been made in the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement or (B) the Tax or Loss would not have arisen but for, or is increased by, a transaction, action or omission (including a failure or omission to make any claim for relief) carried out or effected by Newco, the Company or a Company Subsidiary, including directors, employees, advisors, agents or successors in title, at any time after the Closing Date.
(v) In the event that an indemnified Loss is incurred by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, Philips shall make the payment required hereunder directly to the Company or such Company Subsidiary (unless such payment would create adverse tax consequences for Philips, in which case the payment shall be made to Newco).
(g) Conveyance and Transfer Taxes.
(i) Each of Newco and Philips shall pay when due one-half of all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and one-half of all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including penalties and interest) arising from the purchase of the Company Shares.
(ii) Philips shall indemnify Newco in the form of an adjustment of the Purchase Price, for all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including penalties and interest) arising from Disentanglement for which Newco, the Company or any such Company Subsidiary is liable (for the avoidance of doubt, other than the purchase by Newco of the Company Shares).
(iii) The Party that has the primary obligation to do so shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges described in the preceding sentence, and, if required by applicable Law, Philips or Newco, as the case may be shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. To the extent that any Taxes described in the second preceding sentence are required to be collected by Philips and remitted to any

- 40 -

#####

Taxing Authority, Newco shall pay an amount equal to one-half of such Taxes to Philips, and Philips shall remit such Taxes to the Taxing Authority.
(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, this subsection (g) shall have priority over any other provision of this Section 6.9, and Losses relating to conveyance and transfer taxes referred to in Section 6.9(g)(ii) shall be subject to Section 8.5.
(h) Limitations. The obligations of Philips pursuant to this Section 6.9 are not limited by the provisions of Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 of this Agreement.
Section 6.10 Release of Obligations. (a) Each Party shall procure that any trade receivables and trade payables owed between Philips and its Affiliates (excluding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) on the one hand and the Company and the Company Subsidiaries on the other hand, that remain outstanding at the Closing, will be settled in cash in accordance with the usual terms and conditions of trading between such entities or, if there are no such terms and conditions, within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice.
(b) At the Closing, except with respect to Liabilities referred to in Section 6.10(a) and Liabilities pursuant to ongoing commercial arrangements, (i) Philips shall, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates (excluding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), execute and deliver to Newco, for the benefit of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, a general release and discharge, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Newco, releasing and discharging the Company and the Company Subsidiaries from any and all Liabilities to Philips or its Affiliates (excluding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) in relation to the Business, including any Liabilities arising from the representations and warranties given by the Company pursuant to Article IV hereof (but otherwise excluding any Liabilities covered by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement) and (ii) Newco shall, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, execute and deliver to Philips, for the benefit of Philips and its Affiliates (excluding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), a general release and discharge, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Philips, releasing and discharging Philips and its Affiliates (excluding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) from any and all Liabilities to Newco or its Affiliates in relation to the Business (other than any Liabilities covered by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement). Newco may elect that the release and discharge referred to in this Section 6.10(b) may be effected by way of an assignment or assumption of balances.
(c) The Parties agree that the Company shall use reasonable efforts to use the Net Debt Financing Amount for the payment of the purchase price owed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary under any Local Business Transfer Agreement or Local Share Transfer Agreement and any intercompany loans extended by Philips to the Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Business from Philips, other than trade receivables and payables (collectively, the

- 41 -

#####

“Intercompany Loans”). If the Net Debt Financing Amount is less than the aggregate amount of the Intercompany Loans, the balance shall be subject to the release and discharge referred to in this Section 6.10(b)(i), provided that Newco shall have the right to require Philips to effect such release and discharge by way of an assignment of such balance to Newco. If the Net Debt Financing Amount is greater than the aggregate amount of the Intercompany Loans, the balance shall be treated as the extension of a loan from the Company to Philips, which shall be subject to the release and discharge referred to in this Section 6.10(b)(ii), provided that Newco shall have the right to require Philips to effect such release and discharge by way of an assumption of such balance by Newco.
Section 6.11 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, each Party promptly shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances or documents or instruments of transfer reasonably requested by the other Party and necessary for the requesting party to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement or to obtain the benefits of the Transaction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that Newco or Philips discover following Closing that any asset (except as specifically contemplated by Section 2.6) that was intended to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement was not transferred at the Closing, Philips shall use its reasonable best efforts to, or to cause its Affiliates promptly to, assign and transfer to the Company or the relevant Company Subsidiary all right, title and interest in such asset. Furthermore, to the extent that any Antitrust Approval is not obtained or any applicable waiting period under any Antitrust Law has not expired or been terminated as of the Closing, Newco shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Antitrust Approval or to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under any Antitrust Law as soon as practicable. During the period from the Closing to the date of transfer of such asset or the receipt of such Antitrust Approval or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under any Antitrust Law, Philips shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Antitrust Law, use its reasonable best efforts to, or to cause its Affiliates to (a) operate the relevant asset or entity in accordance with instructions received from the Company, provided that any costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be borne by the Company and (b) as promptly as practicable make available to the Company or the relevant Company Subsidiary any dividends paid and other distributions made by and any other economic benefits generated by the relevant asset or entity, provided that the Company shall be responsible for the obligations relating to and costs of ownership and operation of any such asset or entity.
Section 6.12 Non-Solicit. (a) Philips agrees that, for a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Newco, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, (ii) enter into a consulting agreement with or (iii) solicit, encourage or induce to terminate an existing employment or consulting relationship with any Employee holding a managerial position at the Closing. The foregoing restrictions shall not preclude Philips or its Affiliates from hiring or entering into a consulting agreement with any Employee who (i) initiated discussions with Philips or its Affiliates that ultimately lead to the hiring of or entering

- 42 -

#####

into a consulting agreement with such Employee without being directly or indirectly solicited to do so by Philips or its Affiliates, (ii) approached Philips or its Affiliates in response to a general solicitation in newspapers or other media not targeted toward Employees or (iii) was terminated by the Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to the commencement of discussions with Philips or its Affiliates.

The foregoing restrictions shall not preclude Newco or its Affiliates from hiring or entering into a consulting agreement with any such employee who (i) initiated discussions with Newco or its Affiliates that ultimately lead to the hiring of or entering into a consulting agreement with such employee without being directly or indirectly solicited to do so by Newco or its Affiliates, (ii) approached Newco or its Affiliates in response to a general solicitation in newspapers or other media not targeted towards employees of Philips or Affiliates of Philips or (iii) was terminated by Philips or any Affiliate of Philips prior to the commencement of discussions with Newco or its Affiliates.
Section 6.13 Confidentiality. (a) Philips shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, treat as confidential and shall safeguard any and all information, knowledge and data relating to the Business, in each case by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable standard of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or disclosure of such information, knowledge and data as Philips or its Affiliates used with respect thereto prior to the execution of this Agreement.
(b) Newco shall treat as confidential and shall safeguard any and all information, knowledge or data included in any information relating to the business of Philips and its Affiliates other than the Business that becomes known to Newco as a result of the Transaction except as otherwise agreed to by Philips in writing; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.13(b) shall prevent the disclosure of any such information, knowledge or data to any directors, officers or employees of Newco to whom such disclosure is necessary or desirable in the conduct of the Business if such Persons are informed by Newco of the confidential nature of such information and are directed by Newco to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.13(b).
(c) Newco and Philips acknowledge that the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement shall not extend to information, knowledge and data that is publicly available or becomes publicly available through no act or omission of the Party owing a duty of confidentiality, or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Party owing a duty of confidentiality so long as such source is not known by such Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the other Party.

(d) In the event of a breach of the obligations under this Agreement by Newco or Philips, the other Party, in addition to all other available remedies, will be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.13 in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 6.14 Dividends. Philips shall deliver to Newco on the Closing Date a statement summarizing all cash dividends paid and distributions made by the Company or any Company Subsidiary during the period from January 1, 2006 to the Closing Date.
Section 6.15 Ancillary Agreements. Philips shall not and shall procure that none of its Subsidiaries shall claim from or pursue a claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Ancillary Agreement in the event that the fact or circumstance giving rise to such claim is the subject of an indemnification claim under the body of this Agreement for which Philips is liable, it being further agreed that, in the event of Philips being found liable under the body of this Agreement after the claim has been satisfied under the relevant Ancillary Agreement, Philips shall procure that the Company or the relevant Subsidiary of the Company is reimbursed with the amount paid to Philips or its relevant Subsidiary by the Company or its relevant Subsidiary in respect of the relevant claim under the relevant Ancillary Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusion of representations, warranties and indemnities set out in the various Ancillary Agreements will be entirely without prejudice to the representations, warranties and indemnities set out in the main body of this Agreement.

(a) In the event that any written claim or demand for which an indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may have liability to any Party entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 (an “Indemnified Party”) is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than ten days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third

Party Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure timely to give a Claim Notice shall affect the rights of an Indemnified Party under this Agreement only to the extent that such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the amount of Losses or on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnified Party shall participate in any such defense at its expense unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (ii) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third Party Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of Section 8.4(c). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iv) any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party (i) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise or (ii) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within ten days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified

- 48 -

#####

Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third Party Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents, and employees; it being understood that the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party relating thereto shall be Losses.
(e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in Article VIII to the contrary but subject to this Section 8.4(f), the Parties agree that from the date hereof Philips shall have the sole right to defend and/or settle the Company X Claims as well as any claims by which recourse is sought against any suppliers of the red phosphorus molding compound (or any of their Affiliates, agents or intermediaries) (collectively, the “Related Claims”) and the sole power to direct and control such defense and/or settlement at its cost. Philips undertakes to keep Newco informed on all material developments concerning the Company X Claims and the Related Claims. Newco shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, cooperate in all commercially reasonable ways with Philips and at Philips’ cost and expense (except as set forth below) in connection with the defense and/or settlement of the Company X Claims and any Related Claims, including without limitation by (i) furnishing promptly all information requested by Philips that may be necessary or desirable in connection with such defense and/or settlement or that otherwise relates to the Company X Claims or any Related Claims, (ii) providing personnel (including, but not limited to, Guido Dierick, Koen van Holten, Eef Bagerman, Wouter Schuddeboom, Alain Andres, François Quinones, Lennart Nilsson and Mikael Gustafsson, all of whom shall cooperate in relation to the Company X Claims and any Related Claims in the same manner as prior to the date hereof) as requested by and at no cost to Philips (other than for reasonable out of pocket expenses) and (iii) consulting and cooperating with Philips in the preparation of analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, filings, notifications and proposals made or submitted by Philips in connection with the Company X Claims or any Related Claims. In addition, Newco shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, take all actions reasonably requested by Philips to facilitate resolution of the Company X Claims and any Related Claims provided that (i) such actions are not unduly disruptive to the Business and (ii) Philips reimburses Newco, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for all costs and expenses associated with such actions (including costs and expenses in the form of discounts granted by the Company on future purchases to be

#####

made by Company X as part of any settlement, which costs and expenses shall be set off against any benefits to the Company that may arise in the context of such settlement). The final sentence of Section 8.4(b) shall apply equally to this Section 8.4(f).
Section 8.5 Adjustments to Losses.
(a) Insurance. In calculating the amount of any Loss, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, net of any actual costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, shall be deducted.
(b) Purchase Price Adjustment. In calculating the amount of any Loss for which Newco is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the amount of any reserve reflected in the Closing Date Financial Statements specifically related to such Loss shall be deducted. Newco shall not be indemnified to the extent the matter in question has been resolved and resulted in a Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant to Section 2.7.
(c) Taxes. In calculating the amount of any Loss, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any net Tax benefit actually realized (including the utilization of a Tax loss or Tax credit carried forward) as a result of such Loss by the Party claiming such Loss, and there shall be added an amount equal to any Tax imposed on the receipt of any indemnity payment with respect thereto. The amount of a net Tax benefit shall be the present value of the Tax benefit as of the date of any indemnification payment (using the interest rate calculation of Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code and assuming the Indemnified Party has sufficient Taxable income or other Tax attributes to permit the utilization of such Tax benefit at the earliest possible time) multiplied by (i) the combined applicable effective corporate tax rates in effect at the time of the indemnity payment or (ii) in the case of a credit, 100%.
(d) Reimbursement. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of a Loss that is the subject of indemnification under this Agreement after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of Loss.
Section 8.6 Payments. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Article VIII, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, promptly following receipt from an Indemnified Party of a bill, together with all accompanying reasonably detailed back-up documentation, for a Loss that is the subject of indemnification under this Agreement, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes the Loss, in which event it shall so notify the Indemnified Party. In any event,

- 50 -

#####

the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Loss for which it is liable under this Agreement no later than three days following any final determination of such Loss and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefore. A “final determination” shall exist when (a) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing, (b) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable order or judgment, or (c) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the Parties have agreed to submit thereto.
Section 8.7 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. All payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.
Section 8.8 Mitigation. (a) Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any indemnifiable Loss. In the event an Indemnified Party fails to so mitigate an indemnifiable Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any portion of such Loss that could reasonably have been avoided had the Indemnified Person made such efforts. Without limiting the foregoing, after Newco acquires knowledge of any fact or circumstance that results in or reasonably would be expected to result in an indemnified Loss or Third Party Claim under this Agreement, Newco shall notify Philips promptly and implement such reasonable actions as Philips shall request in writing for the purposes of mitigating the possible Losses arising therefrom (such actions, “Mitigation Actions”). In determining whether a proposed Mitigation Action is reasonable, the Parties will take into account, among other relevant factors, (i) the requirements of Law, (ii) what is reasonably advisable in order to avoid a material potential liability, (iii) the industry standards and practices in respect of similar facts and circumstances, (iv) the economic, regulatory, legal, administrative and other costs and benefits of such action (as opposed to no action or alternative possible actions) to Newco and its Affiliates (without regard to the existence of any indemnification obligation of Philips under this Article VIII) and (v) the interest of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in maintaining good commercial relationships with its employees, customers and suppliers.
Section 8.9 Remedies. Following the Closing the rights and remedies of Philips and Newco under this Article VIII shall be exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies which Philips and Newco may have under this Agreement or otherwise against each other with respect to the Purchase for monetary relief with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, and Newco and Philips each expressly waives any and all other rights or causes of action it or its Affiliates may have against the other Party or its Affiliates now or in the future under any Law with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event the Closing contemplated hereunder does not occur, Philips acknowledges that its recourse against Newco, the Investors and others as set forth in the Investor Equity Commitment Letter is limited by the arrangements in the Investor Equity

- 51 -

#####

Commitment Letter, and Newco acknowledges that its recourse against Philips is limited by the arrangements in the Philips Equity Commitment Letter.
Section 8.10 Waiver. As of the Closing, Philips shall waive any and all claims against any Employees in connection with their employment by Philips or any Affiliate of Philips or in connection with their involvement in the preparation of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements, except for claims based on willful misconduct or fraud.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:
(a) by written agreement of Newco and Philips; or
(b) by either Newco or Philips, by giving written notice of such termination to the other Party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to March 31, 2007 so long as the terminating Party is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no Party shall have any liability to the other Party hereto or their respective Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the Parties contained in this Section 9.2 and in Section 10.1, Section 10.4, Section 10.6, Section 10.7, Section 10.8, Section 10.9, Section 10.10, Section 10.11 and Section 10.12 (and any related definitional provisions set forth in Article I), and except that nothing in this Section 9.2 shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement that arose prior to such termination, for which liability the provisions of Article VIII shall remain in effect in accordance with the provisions and limitations of such Article.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.2 Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Newco and Philips, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. By virtue of effecting the Closing, Newco shall not, and shall not be deemed to, have waived any of its rights to claim under any of the provisions of this Agreement. The rights and remedies in this Agreement provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law, except as otherwise specifically provided in Article VIII hereof.
Section 10.3 No Assignment or Benefit to Third Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. None of the Parties may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as provided in Section 10.5 and except that each of Newco and Philips may assign any and all of its rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries (but no such assignment shall relieve Newco or Philips, as applicable, of any of its obligations under this Agreement). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Newco, Philips, the Indemnified Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 10.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules and Exhibits) and the Ancillary Agreements contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.
Section 10.5 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any party to any other party under this Agreement, or any of the Ancillary Agreements, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an Affiliate of such party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Law and the rules and regulations of any stock exchange upon which the securities of one of the Parties is listed, from and after the date hereof, no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall be made or caused to be made relating to this Agreement unless specifically approved in advance by both Parties.

Section 10.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Purchase is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Purchase shall be borne by the Party incurring such costs and expenses. From and after Closing, the Company will pay all transaction costs relating to the Debt Financing and the Revolving Credit Facility incurred by Philips or by Newco or any of its direct or indirect shareholders, or by any of Philips’ and Newco’s respective managers or advisors, including, in each case, the commissions, fees and expenses of any external advisers related thereto.
Section 10.8 Due Diligence Information; Schedules. The disclosure of any matter in the Due Diligence Information or any Schedule shall be deemed to be a disclosure for all purposes of this Agreement to which such matter could reasonably be expected to be pertinent, but shall not be deemed to constitute an admission by Philips or Newco or to otherwise imply that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement.
Section 10.9 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum. This Agreement and any agreements to be entered into pursuant to it, save as expressly otherwise provided therein, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands. Except for the dispute resolution mechanism provided for in Section 2.7, Philips and Newco irrevocably agree that all disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and the existence and validity thereof, shall be exclusively resolved by the district court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Section 10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
Section 10.11 Headings. The heading references in this Agreement and the table of contents hereof are for convenience purposes only, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 10.12 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefore in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
