As of their respective dates, the Purchaser SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Purchaser SEC Documents, and none of the Purchaser SEC Documents, taken as a whole, contained at the time of filing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated in such Purchaser SEC Document or necessary in order to make the statements in such Purchaser SEC Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except to the extent that information contained in any Purchaser SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later-filed Purchaser SEC Document, none of the Purchaser SEC Documents, taken as a whole, as of the date of such Purchaser SEC Document, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated in such Purchaser SEC Document or necessary in order to make the statements in such Purchaser SEC Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) The financial statements of Purchaser, including the related notes thereto, included in the Purchaser SEC Documents (the “Purchaser Financial Statements”), complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as of their respective dates and were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent throughout the period indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any successor from under the Exchange Act). The Purchaser Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operating results of Purchaser at the dates and during the periods indicated therein (except that unaudited statements may not contain footnotes and were or are subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments).

4.6 Compliance with Nasdaq Rules. Purchaser is in compliance with the applicable listing and other rules and regulations of the Nasdaq National Market, except to the extent that any failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect with respect to Purchaser or prevent any Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement to be eligible for listing and trading thereon.

4.7 Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on arrangements made by or on behalf of Purchaser.

4.8 Absence of Certain Changes. Since September 30, 2005, there has not occurred any change, event or condition that, individually or in the aggregate with any other changes, events and conditions, has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on Purchaser.

For purposes of this Section 6.3, “Confidential Information” shall mean any of the confidential information transferred under this Agreement, including, without limitation, confidential information included in the Intellectual Property Assets and any trade secrets related to the Acquired Products, and other confidential data and formula, information about business plans and strategies, marketing ideas and concepts, especially with respect to unannounced products and services, present and future product plans, pricing, volume estimates, financial data, product enhancement information, business plans, marketing plans, sales strategies, customer information (including, without limitation, customers’ applications and environments), market testing information, development plans, specifications, customer requirements, configurations, designs, plans, drawings, apparatus, sketches, software, hardware, data, prototypes, connecting requirements or other technical and business information, except that, with the exception of any Confidential Information related to the Retained Products, Purchaser shall have no such obligation of confidentiality to Seller with respect to Intellectual Property Assets, including, without limitation, trade secrets or other Confidential Information as is conveyed to Purchaser as part of the Acquired Assets.

If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver under this Agreement, any party (or any of its Affiliates) is in the written opinion of such party’s counsel compelled to disclose the Confidential Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or significant penalty, such party (or its Affiliate) may disclose only so much of the Confidential Information to the Third Party compelling disclosure as is required by law. In such case, such party will exercise (and will cause its Affiliates to exercise their) reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.

Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied each of such conditions. Purchaser may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part without prior notice.

All consents, approvals and waivers listed on Schedule 7.1(d) shall have been obtained by Seller and its Subsidiaries and delivered to Purchaser, and none of such consents, approvals or waivers shall be conditioned upon the giving of any consideration by Purchaser or any material change in the terms of any Assigned Contracts.

(e) Litigation. There shall be no (i) non-frivolous litigation, arbitration or proceeding pending (x) for the purpose of enjoining or preventing the consummation of this Agreement or claiming that the consummation of this Agreement is illegal or improper or (y) which alleges or claims infringement, misuse or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights of any Person by any Acquired Assets, or (ii) litigation, arbitration or proceeding pending which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the right of Purchaser to own, enjoy, exploit or derive benefits from the Acquired Assets or conduct the Acquired Business, if and when the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, in the manner currently owned, enjoyed, exploited, derived or conducted.

(f) Governmental Action and Approvals. Purchaser shall have been furnished with evidence satisfactory to it of the timely consent or approval of, filing with or notice to, and the expiration of the waiting periods (including, without limitation, under the HSR Act) imposed by, each Governmental Body that is required in connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or Purchaser’s ownership or operation of the Business. There shall not be pending or threatened any action or proceeding (or investigation or other inquiry that might result in such action or proceeding) by any Governmental Body, nor shall there be in effect any judgment, decree or order of any Governmental Body, in either case, seeking to prohibit or limit Purchaser from exercising all material rights and privileges pertaining to its ownership or use of the Acquired Assets or its ownership or operation of the Acquired Business, or seeking to compel Purchaser to dispose of or hold separate all or any material portion of the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Business following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) Instruments of Transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser shall have received instruments of transfer or conveyance (including, without limitation, bill of sale and assignments of intellectual property), each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and signed by Seller, as Purchaser may reasonably request or as may be otherwise necessary to evidence and effect the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Acquired Assets to Purchaser and to put Purchaser in actual possession or control of the Acquired Assets at such time as Seller has received payment of the Purchase Price as contemplated by Section 2.7(a).

(h) Additional Agreements. Purchaser shall have received each of the following agreements, each signed by Seller:

(i) License Agreement, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B;

(ii) Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which Seller shall provide to Purchaser for a transition period certain engineering services, in such form as reasonably agreed upon by the parties (the “Transition Services Agreement”); and

(iii) Wafer Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Seller shall provide to Purchaser certain manufacturing services, in such form as reasonably agreed upon by the parties (the “Wafer Purchase Agreement”).

(i) Employees. Certain Business Employees shall have accepted and entered into written employment offers for employment with Purchaser from and after the Closing as provided in Schedule 7.1(i).

(j) Transfer of Tangible Property. Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement, Seller shall have delivered, and shall have caused its Subsidiaries to have delivered, all Tangible Property (including, without limitation, all tangible embodiments of the Intellectual Property Assets and all of the other Acquired Assets and the Business Records) to Purchaser at such time and manner as mutually agreed upon prior to the Closing.

(k) Approval of Documentation. Seller shall have delivered, and shall have caused its Subsidiaries to have delivered, such other certificates, instruments, opinions and other documents as Purchaser may reasonably request to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents.

7.2 Conditions to Seller’s Obligation to Close. The obligations of Seller to sell and transfer the Acquired Assets and perform its obligations at the Closing are subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing, of all the conditions set forth in this Section 7.2. Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied each of such conditions. Seller may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part without prior notice. No such waiver of a condition shall, however, constitute a waiver by Seller of any of its other rights or remedies, at law or in equity, if Purchaser shall breach or be in default under any of its representations, warranties or covenants made under or pursuant to this Agreement.

(a) Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made pursuant to Article 4 shall have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement, and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date as though made as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations or warranties specify an earlier date), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true or correct (without regard to any materiality qualifications contained therein) is not reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Purchaser.

(b) Purchaser’s Performance. Purchaser shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants and agreements required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by Purchaser at or before the Closing.

(c) Certification. Seller shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, signed by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Purchaser certifying that the conditions specified in Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) have been fulfilled. Such certificate shall constitute a representation and warranty of Seller under this Agreement.

(d) Litigation. There shall be no non-frivolous litigation, arbitration or proceeding pending for the purpose of enjoining or preventing the consummation of this Agreement or claiming that the consummation of this Agreement is illegal or improper.

(e) Governmental Approvals. Seller shall have been furnished with evidence satisfactory to it of the timely consent or approval of, filing with or notice to, and the expiration of the waiting periods (including, without limitation, under the HSR Act) imposed by, each Governmental Agency that is required in connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Shares. Seller shall have received the Shares contemplated by Section 2.7(a), representing that portion of the Purchase Price due and payable at the Closing.

(g) License Agreement. Seller shall have received the License Agreement, signed by Purchaser.

(i) Approval of Documentation. Purchaser shall have delivered such other certificates, instruments, opinions and other documents as Seller may reasonably request to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents.

7.3 Contemporaneous Effectiveness. All acts and deliveries prescribed by this Article 7, regardless of chronological sequence, will be deemed to occur contemporaneously and simultaneously on the occurrence of the last act or delivery, and none of such acts or deliveries will be effective until the last of the same has occurred.

8. Indemnification; Infringement

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties

The representations and warranties of Purchaser and Seller contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for 18 months after the Closing Date, except for (a) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.10, which shall survive for three years after the Closing Date, and (b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.21, which shall survive indefinitely. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to any such representations or warranties after the pending period for such representation or warranty expires, except for claims then pending or previously asserted in writing by any party in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.2 General Agreement to Indemnify

(a) Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party to this Agreement and each other Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, losses, and damages, amounts paid in settlement, interest, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party to the extent that the Losses arise by reason of, or result from, in whole or in part, (i) the failure of any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement to have been true in all material respects when made and as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement or (ii) the material breach by such party of any covenant of such party contained in this Agreement to the extent not waived by the other party.

(b) Seller further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and the other Indemnified Parties of Purchaser from and against any Losses incurred by Purchaser or such Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to:

(i) the Excluded Liabilities;

(ii) all termination, salary continuation or severance pay, benefits or any other liabilities payable by Seller and its Subsidiaries to any Business Employee by reason of such Business Employee’s termination of employment by Seller and its Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by Section 5.3(b));

(iii) all liability arising out of the operation of the Acquired Business by Seller and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date;

(iv) all Losses to Lara, including its successors, or to Purchaser arising out of or relating to Purchaser’s acquisition or ownership of Lara, whenever arising, including, without limitation, any actual additional Tax liability incurred or suffered by Purchaser as a result of Purchaser’s acquisition or ownership of Lara (but only to the extent that such Losses would not have been incurred or suffered by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates had Purchaser purchased the Acquired Assets (other than the capital stock of Lara)); and

(v) all claims of Third Parties against Purchaser arising out of either (i) any litigation identified on Schedule 3.7(a) or (ii) unless documentation has been furnished that provides conclusive evidence, as mutually determined by the parties, that Purchaser has acquired ownership of such Intellectual Property Assets, Seller’s failure to deliver record title and ownership of the Intellectual Property Assets identified on Schedule 8.2(b)(v), free of Encumbrances.

(c) Purchaser further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and the other Indemnified Parties of Seller from and against any Losses incurred by Seller or such Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to:

(i) the Assumed Liabilities; and

(ii) all liability arising out of Purchaser’s operation of the Acquired Business after the Closing (for which liability Seller is not obligated to indemnify Purchaser under this Agreement).

(d) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim or Infringement Claim, both parties to this Agreement shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith or as provided in Section 5.1.

(e) The parties’ indemnity obligations under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date.

(f) For all purposes of this Agreement, any Losses of an Indemnified Party shall be net of (i) any insurance proceeds or other recoveries payable to the Indemnified Party or its affiliates in connection with, or otherwise attributable to, such Losses, and (ii) any Tax benefit realized by such Indemnified Party or its affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses (including, without limitation, the value of any Tax benefit arising in subsequent taxable years).

8.3 General Procedures for Indemnification

(a) The Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by any Third Party or other matter in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement and will give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect to such claim, action, suit, proceeding or matter as the Indemnified Party has or the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability under this Agreement (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered

actual prejudice by such failure). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by a Third Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), to assume the defense and control the settlement of such Third-Party Claim.

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

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

(d) If the Indemnifying Party fails to provide the Indemnified Party written notice that the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of a Third-Party claim or otherwise fails to vigorously prosecute the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be promptly paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall assume the defense of any claims or demands with respect to Straddle Period Taxes and any Tax claims made against the Acquired Assets attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) commencing prior to the Closing Date (“Tax Claims”). Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such Tax Claims at its own expense. Seller shall have the right to settle any Tax Claims, provided that such settlement does not adversely impact the Tax liability of Purchaser with respect to the Acquired Assets for periods (or portions thereof) commencing on or after the Closing Date.

(f) In the event of an intellectual property infringement claim subject to this Section 8.3, Seller and Purchaser will negotiate in good faith an appropriate joint defense agreement, and, pursuant to such agreement, each party shall provide the other with access to any infringement opinions or related documents concerning the subject matter of such claim.

8.4 [Reserved]

8.5 Right of Set-Off. In order to satisfy any indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to this Article 8, Purchaser (and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and other Affiliates) shall have the right to recover Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser by setting off the amount of any such Losses against any Purchase Price (whether payable in cash or Shares) otherwise due to Seller pursuant to Section 2.7(b). Solely for purposes of applying this Section 8.5, the amount of any such set-offs shall be determined as follows:

(a) if such set-off is against the Cash Payment, Purchaser may set-off on a dollar-for-dollar basis the aggregate amount of such Losses (to the extent not previously recovered by Purchaser); and

(b) if such set-off is against Shares issued pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iii) or 2.7(b)(iv), Purchaser may withhold and not issue to Seller that number of Shares equal to the aggregate amount of such Losses (to the extent not previously recovered by Purchaser) divided by the Bonus Price, rounded up to the nearest whole share.

In the case of Third Party Claims brought but not resolved prior to the date that the Cash Payment or such additional Shares is to be paid or issued, Purchaser will have the right to set-off and withhold the total amount of any reserve or write-off recorded by Purchaser with respect to any Losses, which reserve or write-off has been reviewed and accepted by Purchaser’s firm of registered independent public accountants and included in a report which includes financial statements of Purchaser filed or to be filed by Purchaser with the SEC. Any such set-offs by Purchaser shall represent a reduction of the Purchase Price to the extent ultimately determined to be Losses. The parties agree that to the greatest extent possible, the payment of any indemnity in accordance with this Section 8.5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser under this Agreement for Tax purposes.

8.6 Dispute Resolution

(a) Prior to taking any formal legal action against each other, the parties shall first in good faith consult among appropriate officers of Purchaser and Seller, which consultation shall begin promptly after one party has delivered to the other a written request for consultation. At any time thereafter, either party may request in writing that the dispute be referred to appropriate senior executives of Purchaser and Seller. Within 10 Business Days after such request, the senior executives (and not their designees) shall meet as frequently as necessary, but in no event less than once a week, and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If such senior executives cannot resolve the dispute, the Chief Executive Officers (and not their designees) shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the dispute, claim or controversy cannot be settled or resolved amicably between the parties, then either party may pursue any remedies available to it, whether at law or equity.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.6, in the event of alleged violation or breach of this Agreement by a party (including, without limitation, unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information), the other party may seek temporary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. In no event shall any such temporary injunctive relief continue for more than 30 days.

(c) If any part of this Section 8.6 is held to be unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect any other part of this Section 8.6.

8.7 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations

(a) Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses incurred by Purchaser or other Indemnified Parties of the Purchaser under Section 8.2 until the Losses for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement exceed $150,000 in the aggregate, in which case, upon exceeding such threshold amount, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover all such Losses (including such initial threshold amount). Except as expressly provided in the next sentence of this Section 8.7(a), notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller’s liability for Losses under Section 8.2(a) exceed, in the aggregate, $16,666,666.67; in no event shall Seller’s liability for Losses under Section 8.2(b) (other than Sections 8.2(b)(iv) and (b)(v)) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price; and in no event shall Purchaser’s liability for Losses under Section 8.2(c) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price. The provisions of this Section 8.7(a) shall not apply to either party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement arising out of, relating to or resulting from fraud by such party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of an Indemnifying Party’s liability pursuant to this Section 8 shall be net of any insurance proceeds or other third party indemnity or contribution amounts actually recovered by an Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such insurance proceeds or other third party indemnity or contribution amounts recoverable by such Indemnified Party, and in the event any such amounts are collected after a claim for Losses has been paid by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse such amounts to such Indemnifying Party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to an Indemnified Party for any indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage (including any loss of opportunity or loss of value, revenue or profit) arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by an Indemnified Party in respect of any such Losses either (i) directly incurred as a result of a Third Party Claim or (ii) relating to or in connection with any Losses for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(iv) or 8.2(b)(v).

8.8 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing Date, except in the case of fraud, the indemnification provided in this Section 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Date for damages available to the parties to this Agreement for breach of any of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, or any right, claim or action arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the parties may seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent a breach of, or specific performance to enforce specifically the provisions of, any covenant contained in this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction.

9. Termination

9.1 Right to Terminate. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by written notice or agreement as follows:

(a) by mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser;

(b) by either Purchaser or Seller if (i) there shall be a nonappealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Body that would make consummation of such transactions illegal or improper;

(c) by Purchaser if Seller shall have breached any of its representations or warranties, or failed to perform or otherwise breached any of its covenants or other agreements, contained in this Agreement which breach or failure to perform would cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) to not be satisfied and is not cured or performed within 30 days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s written notice of such breach or failure;

(d) by Seller if Purchaser shall have breached any of its representations or warranties, or failed to perform or otherwise breached any of its covenants or other agreements, contained in this Agreement which breach or failure to perform would cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) to not be satisfied and is not cured or performed within 30 days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written notice of such breach or failure; or

(e) by either Purchaser or Seller if (i) the parties have received a formal request for additional information or documentary material pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.20 under the HSR Act, or the competition law of any other jurisdiction and (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before the date that is 150 days after the date of this Agreement; provided that a party to this Agreement may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) if the failure to close results primarily from such party’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such party contained in this Agreement;

(f) by either Purchaser or Seller if (i) the parties have not received a formal request for additional information or documentary material pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.20 under the HSR Act, or the competition law of any other jurisdiction and (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before the date that is 90 days after the date of this Agreement; provided that a party to this Agreement may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) if the failure to close results primarily from such party’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such party contained in this Agreement; or

(g) by Seller if (i) the parties have received a formal request for additional information or documentary material pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.20 under the HSR Act, or the competition law of any other jurisdiction, and the waiting periods under the HSR Act or under such other competition law have not expired or been terminated and (ii) at least 90 days have passed since the date of this Agreement.

9.2 Effects of Termination. If any party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate; provided that the provisions of Article 10 will survive termination and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. In the event of any such terminations, the parties to this Agreement will remain liable for any material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the effective date of such termination.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO

AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS

BY AND BETWEEN

CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND

NETLOGIC MICROSYSTEMS, INC.

Reference is made to that certain AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS (the “Agreement”) dated as of January 25, 2006 by and between Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation, having its principal office at 198 Champion Court, San Jose, CA 95134 (“Seller”), and NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having its principal office at 1875 Charleston Road, Mountain View, CA 94043 (“Purchaser”). Pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Agreement, this Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement (this “First Amendment”) is entered into effective as of February 15, 2006 by and between the Seller and Purchaser. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

RECITALS

A. The Seller and Purchaser entered into the Agreement on January 25, 2006.

B. The Seller and Purchaser desire to amend the Agreement in the manner set forth below.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the parties intending to be legally bound do hereby agree as follows:

1. The definition of Gross Revenue contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Gross Revenue” means total gross revenue of Purchaser from the sale of any Acquired Products, or the licensing of any Intellectual Property Assets, to Third Parties and recognized by Purchaser in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (after giving effect to any reductions for any discount, return, credit, exchange or other adjustment, provided that, in the aggregate, such reductions shall not exceed 1% of such total gross revenue, subject to the last proviso below), in connection with the preparation of Purchaser’s financial statements for public reporting purposes, including any such revenue from the sale, after the Closing, of any of Purchaser’s other products (other than Purchaser’s products that exist, or are being developed as of, the Closing) having the same function as and replacing, or which could function as a replacement for, an Acquired Product without any material design modification to the customer application of such Acquired Product; provided, however, Purchaser will recognize gross revenue from sales of Acquired Products through Seller’s distributors (regardless of whether the distributors take legal title to the Acquired Products) only on a sell-through basis, i.e., when the distributors have sold units of the Acquired Products to end customers as represented on the distributors’ “point of shipment” or similar reports (accordingly, Purchaser will not recognize gross revenue when the units of the Acquired Products are merely sold to the distributors); provided, further, in no event shall “Gross Revenue” include revenue from products returned to Purchaser as a result of a failure or defect in the quality or functionality (based upon customer specifications) of such products.

2. The definition of Other Transaction Documents contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Other Transaction Documents” means the License Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement and the instruments of transfer or conveyance contemplated by and delivered at the Closing pursuant to Section 7.1(h) or 7.2(h).

3. The definition of Net Working Capital contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted, and the definition of Net Inventory is hereby added:

“Net Inventory” means net Inventory (reduced by related inventory reserves but excluding any Distributor Inventory) as of the Closing Date to be provided by Seller pursuant to Section 5.16.

4. The definition of Accounts Payable contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted.

5. The definition of Accounts Receivable contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted.

6. The definition of Wafer Purchase Agreement contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted.

7. Section 2.1(e) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
