3. Standstill Provisions.

Intel agrees that, notwithstanding any right of first refusal, preemptive right or other right of Intel to acquire securities of the Company (pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement or otherwise), unless approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board (for purposes of this provision, any Intel Designee shall not be deemed “disinterested”), which consent may be withheld in such members’ sole and absolute discretion, neither Intel nor any of its Affiliates will in any manner, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with others:
(i) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or announce any intention to effect or cause or participate in or in any way assist, facilitate or encourage any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in:

4
treated as a single “person” under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), through swap or hedging transactions or otherwise, any securities of the Company or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such securities (collectively, “securities of the Company”) or any rights decoupled from the underlying securities of the Company that would result in Intel (together with its Affiliates) owning, controlling or otherwise having any beneficial or other ownership interest in more than 18% or, following the IPO, 20% of the Company’s then‑current Fully Diluted Capitalization at such time;
(2) any acquisition of any assets, indebtedness or businesses of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, including any exclusive license of all or substantially all of the Company’s intellectual property;

(4) any recapitalization, restructuring, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or joint ventures or any of their respective securities (each, an “Extraordinary Transaction”);
(5) any “solicitation” of proxies (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission but without regard to the exclusion set forth in Rule 14a‑1(l)(2)(iv) of the Exchange Act) or consents to vote, or seek to advise, encourage or influence any person with respect to the voting of any securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates;
(ii) form, join, or in any way participate in any Group (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any securities or assets of the Company or otherwise act in concert with any Person in respect to such securities or assets (including by exclusive license);
(iii) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek representation on or to control or influence the management, Board or policies of the Company or to obtain representation on the Board; provided however that this subsection (iii) shall not (x) limit the Intel Designee in fulfilling his or her fiduciary duties as a director in his or her good faith judgment or (y) preclude Intel from engaging in Negotiated Transaction Discussions with the Company as provided below or, if otherwise permitted by the proviso below, commencing a Permitted Tender Offer (as defined below);
(iv) take any action which would or would reasonably be expected to force the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in Section 3(a)(i) above; provided however that this subsection (iv) shall not preclude Intel from engaging in Negotiated Transaction Discussions with the Company as provided below or, if otherwise permitted by the proviso below, commencing a Permitted Tender Offer;
5
(v) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of Company; provided however that this subsection (v) shall not (x) limit the Intel Designee in fulfilling his or her fiduciary duties as a director in his or her good faith judgment or (y) preclude Intel from engaging in Negotiated Transaction Discussions with the Company as provided below or, if otherwise permitted by the proviso below, commencing a Permitted Tender Offer;
(vi) enter into any formal or informal discussions or arrangements with any third party, other than discussions with representatives of Intel or arrangements with Intel’s controlled Affiliates, with respect to any of the foregoing;
provided, that, Intel shall not be prohibited from Negotiated Transaction Discussions; provided further that, in the event that in connection with Negotiated Transaction Discussions following an IPO, Intel shall have made to the Board a bona fide, good faith, non‑coercive, comprehensive, binding written offer that (w) provides for the acquisition of 100% ownership of the Company, whether by merger, tender offer or otherwise, (x) treats all stockholders equally (subject only to any required liquidation preference or similar rights in the Company’s certificate of incorporation) and otherwise in a non‑coercive manner, (y) includes a bona fide, objectively reasonable control premium in the circumstances of the Company at that time, and (z) provides the Board adequate time, but in any event not less than fifteen (15) Business Days (the “Evaluation Period”), to evaluate the proposal, negotiate the terms thereof and consider and develop alternatives and otherwise exercise its fiduciary duties (such an acquisition proposal meeting the conditions of clauses (w)‑(z), a “Qualified Acquisition Proposal”) and shall have negotiated (for its part) in good faith with the Company and the Board with respect to such Qualified Acquisition Proposal, and the Board shall have rejected such Qualified Acquisition Proposal (or not accepted it after the lapse of at least five (5) Business Days since the last version of such offer) and the Evaluation Period shall have lapsed, Intel may, consistent with applicable securities laws, engage in a tender offer to the Company’s stockholders on terms no less favorable (in any respect) to the Company and its security holders than set forth in the Qualified Acquisition Proposal, commenced within thirty (30) Business Days of such rejection (or deemed rejection) of the Qualified Acquisition Proposal (a “Permitted Tender Offer”).
(b) Permitted Disclosures Upon Mutual Acquisition Agreement. To the extent that following post‑IPO Negotiated Transaction Discussions, the Company and Intel enter into a mutually agreed definitive agreement for an Acquisition that contemplates a tender offer by Intel, the Company shall permit Intel to disclose such information in its filings with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as is required to conduct such tender offer under applicable federal securities laws, in addition to any disclosure permitted under the Confidentiality Agreement.
(c) Threshold Increase. In the event that a Person, together with its Affiliates, other than a Purely Financial Investor, acquires more than 18% or, following the IPO, 20% in the aggregate of the Company’s then‑current Fully‑Diluted Capitalization at such time in one or more transactions (such Person, an “Other Strategic Holder”), the applicable percentage set forth in Section 3(a)(i) shall be increased to the percentage held by such Other Strategic Holder.
(d) Notification. Intel will provide the Company with written notice 10 Business Days in advance of Intel or any of its controlled Affiliates acquiring, or entering into
6
any agreement to acquire, any securities of the Company (including any right to acquire securities of the Company).
(e) Suspension on Competing Transaction. The provisions of this Section 3 shall become inoperative and of no force or effect upon the occurrence of a Competing Transaction with respect to the Company; provided that if any Competing Transaction has lapsed, is abandoned, terminated or is otherwise no longer pending, this Section 3 shall again thereafter be in full force and effect.
(f) Suspension or Substitution for Most Favored Terms.
(i) Other Strategic Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there exists any Other Strategic Holder and such Other Strategic Holder is not subject to standstill terms, or is subject to standstill terms more favorable to such Other Strategic Holder than the terms set forth in this Section 3, the provisions in this Section 3 shall be suspended, as the case may be, for (i) if there is a standstill agreement with such Other Strategic Holder, the period during which such more favorable terms are in force, during which period such more favorable terms shall automatically apply as to Intel instead or (ii) if there is no standstill agreement with such Other Strategic Holder, until such time as such Other Strategic Holder is no longer an Other Strategic Holder or enters into a more restrictive standstill agreement or a standstill agreement resulting in the application of clause (i) above; provided, however, that following the period of suspension in either clause (i) or (ii) above, the standstill provisions set forth in this Section 3 will again apply.
(ii) MNPI to Third Party in Connection with Acquisition. In the event that following an IPO the Company enters into discussions with a third party concerning an Acquisition in connection with which the Company provides material non‑public information to such third party and such third party is not subject to standstill terms, or is subject to standstill terms more favorable to such third party than these, these standstill provisions shall be suspended, as the case may be, for (i) if there is a standstill agreement with such third party, the period during which such more favorable terms are in force, during which period such more favorable terms shall automatically apply as to Intel instead or (ii) if there is no standstill agreement with such third party, as applicable, for the longer of six (6) months or until such time as the Company has terminated discussions concerning an Acquisition with such third party, during which period no standstill will apply; it being understood that following the period of suspension in either clause (i) or (ii) the standstill provisions in this Section 3 will again apply.
4. Intel Designee After the Initial Public Offering. The Board (or an authorized committee thereof) will nominate for election to the Board the Intel Designee serving on the Board as of the IPO (or one such other person designated by Intel that is reasonably acceptable to the Company; such person thereafter referred to as the Intel Designee) at each annual meeting of the stockholders that such Intel Designee shall be up for election in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, provided that such continuing Intel Designee (or such other person designated by Intel) shall have delivered (i) all information or documents required by the Company’s then-existing bylaws, applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, any SEC regulations related to nominee directors) or as required by any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are traded in connection with the nomination,
7
solicitation of proxies for election or service by such individual on the Board and (ii) an executed resignation in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto to the Board and the Company’s Secretary prior to such nomination, which resignation shall be effective upon the earlier to occur of (A) Intel and its Affiliates ceasing to hold the Rights Minimum; (B) a material breach of the Commercial Agreement by Intel that has not been cured within the applicable period set forth in the Commercial Agreement or a termination of the Commercial Agreement by Intel (unless such termination by Intel is due to a breach by the Company for which such agreement permits Intel a termination right); (C) a Competitor Investment (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement); or (D) the consummation of an Acquisition of the Company.
