The aggregate payment by Buyer in the event of either of clause (a) (i) or (b) shall be referred to herein as the “Cash Closing Payment.”

2.8 Inventory Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within 45 days following the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Seller’s Calculation”) setting forth the value of the Inventory, as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Inventory Value”) determined in conformity with GAAP on a standard cost basis, using ending fiscal year 2009 standard costs of Seller, and in conformity with the valuation standard set forth in Section 3.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the certain TCAM4 parts that are affected by the “read-after-lookup” issue, specifically the TCAM4 parts with the part number 75H652BSxxxAT, will not be included in the Closing Inventory Value; (ii) the certain modified TCAM4 part that is not affected by the “read-after-lookup” issue, specifically part number 75H652CSxxxAT, shall be included in the Closing Inventory Value in an amount not to exceed $600,000; and (iii) the certain TCAM3CR part, part number 75H7B0A1SxxxRN, shall be included in the Closing Inventory Value in an amount not to exceed $600,000.

(b) If Buyer disagrees with the Seller’s Calculation, Buyer may, within 15 days after delivery of the Seller’s Calculation, deliver a notice (the “Buyer’s Objection”) to Seller disagreeing with the Seller’s Calculation and specifying, in reasonable detail (i) Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Inventory Value and (ii) Buyer’s grounds for such disagreement.

(c) If a Buyer’s Objection is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.8(b), Buyer and Seller shall, during the 15 days following such delivery, use their reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the Closing Inventory Value. If they are unable to reach such agreement during such period, the parties shall promptly engage the CPA Firm to review promptly the Inventory for the purpose of calculating the Closing Inventory Value. In making such calculation, the CPA Firm shall determine the Closing Inventory Value. The CPA Firm shall deliver to Buyer and Seller, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth such calculation of the Closing Inventory Valuation. Such report shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller (absent manifest error). The cost of the CPA Firm shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.

(d) Buyer and Seller each agree to reasonably cooperate and assist in the determination of the Closing Inventory Value under this Section 2.8, including by making available to the other party and its representatives, to the extent reasonably requested, reasonable access to books, records, work papers, personnel and representatives in connection with such other party’s preparation and review of the closing statement.

(e) If the Final Inventory Value (as defined below) is less than the Base Inventory Value, the parties shall reduce, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, the principal amount of the Promissory Note by the amount by which the Final Inventory Value is less than the Base Inventory Value, such reduction to be effective as of the date of the determination of the Final Inventory Value, and in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Promissory Note. If the Final Inventory Value is greater than the Base Inventory Value, Buyer shall pay to Seller, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, the amount by which the Final Inventory Value is greater than the Base Inventory Value; provided, however, that if the amount by which the Final Inventory Value exceeds the Base Inventory Value is greater than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), Inventory with a value exceeding such $2,000,000 shall be purchased by Buyer from Seller in Buyer’s ordinary course of business and the value of such Inventory amount that exceeds such $2,000,000 shall not otherwise be payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.8(f). “Final Inventory Value” means the Closing Inventory Value (i) as shown in the Seller’s Calculation if no Buyer’s Objection is duly delivered to Seller in compliance with Section 2.8(b); or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed by Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 2.8(c) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the CPA Firm’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.8(c).

(f) Subject to Section 2.8(e), any payment obligation of Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place, within five (5) business days after the determination of the Final Inventory Value, by Buyer’s delivery by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by Seller.

2.9 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The Purchase Price (including Assumed Liabilities to the extent properly taken into account under applicable Tax Law), shall be allocated among the Assets in a reasonable manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the IRS regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation”); provided that $1,000 of the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the reasonable value of tangible property used to transfer intangible property included in the Assets from Seller to Buyer in accordance with California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 6012(c)(10); provided further that, in the event Seller and Buyer are unable to mutually agree upon a Purchase Price allocation prior to the Closing, Buyer’s proposed allocation of the Purchase Price shall be conclusive and shall constitute the Allocation.

(b) Buyer and Seller agree to file all Tax Returns consistent with the Allocation (including filing IRS Form 8594 with their United States federal income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date).

2.10 Closing Costs; Transfer Taxes and Fees. Buyer shall be responsible for any Transfer Taxes. Seller shall pay the fees and costs of recording or filing all applicable conveyancing instruments. Buyer shall pay all costs of applying for new Permits.

Buyer and Seller expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and their respective terms and all information, whether written or oral, furnished by either party to the other party or any affiliate of such other party in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be treated as “confidential information” and “Proprietary Information” (as such terms are defined in the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement) under the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement.

Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable

access to meet with and interview such Product Employees during normal business hours, provided that such access shall not unduly interfere with the operation of the business of Seller and its affiliates prior to the Closing. Immediately prior to the Closing, each Transferred Employee that, with Buyer’s approval, has agreed to accept an offer of employment from Buyer, shall resign effective immediately after the Closing. Seller or its affiliates shall pay to such Transferred Employees all compensation, bonus and other amounts due and payable to such Transferred Employees in connection with such terminations of employment with Seller or its affiliates in accordance with Seller’s or any of its affiliate’s regular employment policies and practices. Seller or its affiliates shall pay to such Transferred Employees any additional amounts owed to such Transferred Employees pursuant to a Seller Plan when such amounts become due and payable, to the extent that such amounts constitute Excluded Liabilities. To the extent permitted by Buyer’s benefit plans, the employee benefit plans of Buyer in which the Transferred Employees, if any, are eligible to participate shall take into account, for purposes of eligibility, waiting periods, and pre-existing periods, the service of such Transferred Employees with Seller as if such service were with Buyer.

5.6 Non-Solicitation.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 5.5, Buyer agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing Date it shall not, and it shall cause its subsidiaries not to (and shall not encourage or assist any of its affiliates to), without the prior written consent of Seller, directly or indirectly, solicit to hire (or cause or seek to cause to leave the employ of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) (i) any Product Employee or (ii) any Person employed by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries who became known to or was identified to Buyer or any of its affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Closing, unless such Person ceased to be an employee of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such action by Buyer or any of its subsidiaries, or, in the case of such Person’s voluntary termination of employment with Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, at least three (3) months prior to such action by Buyer or any of its subsidiaries.

Buyer and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Assets, including, without limitation, access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Buyer or Seller, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Each of Buyer and Seller shall promptly notify the other in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audit or assessment challenging the Allocation.

(b) Allocation of Property Taxes. Seller shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay when due all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Assets attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay when due all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Assets attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. All Property Taxes levied with respect to the Assets for the Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period, as follows: the portion allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and the remainder of such Taxes for the Straddle Period shall be allocable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Upon receipt of any bill for such Property Taxes relating to the Assets for a Straddle Period, Buyer, on one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 5.7(b) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within ten (10) days after delivery of such statement. In the event that Buyer or Seller shall make any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 5.7(b), the applicable party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

5.10 HSR Act.

(a) If required pursuant to applicable Law, each party shall file as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than ten (10) business days after the date of this Agreement a Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. Each party shall respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests received from any Governmental Authority for additional information or documentation. Each party shall (i) promptly notify the other party of any communication to that party or its affiliates from any Governmental Authority with respect to such filings and, subject to applicable Law, permit the other party or the other party’s counsel to review in advance any proposed written communication with respect thereto to any of the foregoing; (ii) not participate, or permit its affiliates to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat; (iii) with the exception of business documents deemed confidential by Buyer (including documents submitted as attachments to Buyer’s Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act), furnish Seller with copies of all correspondence, filings and communication (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between Buyer (its affiliates, and its respective Representatives) on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of their respective staffs on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iv) with the exception of business documents deemed confidential by Seller, furnish Buyer with copies of all correspondence, filings, and communication (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between Seller (its affiliates, and its respective Representatives) on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of their respective staffs on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Seller and Buyer shall pay 50% of the filing fee payable on submission of the required notification under the HSR Act.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the other covenants of the parties contained herein, Buyer and Seller shall each use its reasonable best efforts to remedy any material competition concerns raised by any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. If any administrative, judicial or legislative Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging or seeking to prevent or prohibit the sale and purchase of the Assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements under any legal theory, Buyer and Seller shall each cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Court Order that is in effect and that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to (i) license, divest, dispose of or hold separate or take any similar actions with respect to any assets or businesses of Buyer or Seller or their affiliates or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits in any material respect its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of such assets or businesses, (ii) pay more than de minimis amounts in any settlement or in connection with seeking or obtaining such consents, approvals or authorizations, whether to any Governmental Authority or other Person (other than the HSR

In such case as Seller and Buyer cannot agree on such economist(s) and/or other consultant(s) to be retained, Buyer shall make the determination as to which, if any, economist(s) and/or other consultant(s) to retain, consistent with its obligations hereunder. Each of Seller and Buyer shall pay 50% of the cost of such economist(s) and or other consultant(s). Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for their own legal fees in connection with any Action challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.11 Performance by Affiliates. To the extent any of Seller’s affiliates own any Assets or are responsible for any Excluded Liabilities, Seller shall cause such affiliate to perform Seller’s obligations hereunder.

From and after the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of the Closing Date or the date this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1 (the “Exclusivity Period”), Seller (including, without limitation, for this purpose its officers, directors, representatives, affiliates, employees and agents) will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, facilitate, respond to, initiate, engage in or enter into discussions or negotiations with, or encourage, or provide any information to, any Person concerning any sale, exclusive license or other form of disposition of any material Assets (other than sales of Products in the ordinary course of Seller’s business) or any transaction involving the Assets similar to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (an “Acquisition Proposal”). During the Exclusivity Period, neither Seller nor such designated persons will approve, endorse, recommend or sign any contracts or agreements or make any commitments to do or in connection with any of the foregoing. For the purpose of this Section 5.13, any license of material Intellectual Property Rights related to any of the Assets outside the ordinary course of Seller’s operation and ownership of the Assets shall be considered a disposition of the Assets. Seller represents that it is not bound by any Acquisition Proposal other than as contemplated by this Agreement. If Seller or any such designated person receives an Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information relating to any Assets, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of such Acquisition Proposal or request (including, without limitation, the identity of the Person making, and the terms of, such Acquisition Proposal or request).

5.14 Further Assurances; Further Documents.

(a) On and after the date of this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, in the most expeditious manner practicable, (i) to satisfy or cause to be satisfied all the conditions precedent that are set forth in Articles VI and VII, as applicable to each of them, and (ii) to cause the Acquisition to be consummated.

(b) On and after the Closing Date, each of Buyer and Seller shall, at the request of the other party, execute and deliver to such other party all such further instruments, assignments, assurances and other documents as such other party may reasonably request in connection with the carrying out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Acquisition.

For five (5) years after the Closing Date, from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer, at Buyer’s reasonable request and subject to Buyer’s reimbursement of Seller’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, additional reasonable assistance as reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to assume and perform such prosecution responsibilities; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be obligated to reimburse Seller’s out-of-pocket costs until such costs reach $5,000. As reasonably requested and required, Seller also shall make available to Buyer any of its employees who are inventors of the Product IP and shall otherwise use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer to enable Buyer to contact any other inventors of the Product IP (e.g., facilitating and assisting with introductions on behalf of Buyer). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be responsible for paying all government recordation fees and any other fees and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the transfer of title of the Product IP to Buyer.

(d) For a period of at least three years from and after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall not dispose of any records relating to the Assets, except for tax returns and related tax records that are disposed under Seller’s document retention policies in Seller’s ordinary course of business, without Buyer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

If any portion of the Assets is destroyed or damaged by fire or any other cause on or prior to the Closing Date, other than use, wear or loss in the ordinary course of business, Seller shall give written notice to Buyer as soon as practicable after, but in any event within five (5) business days of, discovery of such damage or destruction, the amount of insurance, if any, covering such Assets and the amount, if any, which Seller is otherwise entitled to receive as a consequence.

10.9 Titles; Gender. The titles, captions or headings of the Articles and Sections herein, and the use of a particular gender, are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect or restrict the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.10 Public Statements and Press Releases. Unless otherwise required by Law, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or quotation services on which such party’s stock is traded or quoted or pursuant to scheduled earnings releases and scheduled analyst conference calls, prior to the Closing Date, no news release or other public announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be made by or on behalf of any party or its affiliates without the prior written approval of the other party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If in the judgment of either party such a news release or public announcement is required prior to the Closing Date by Law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which such party’s stock is traded, the party intending to make such release or announcement shall to the extent practicable use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior written notice to the other party of the contents of such release or announcement and to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

10.12 Disclosure Schedules. Inclusion of any matter or item in the Disclosure Schedules does not imply that such matter or item would, under the provisions of this Agreement, have to be included in the Disclosure Schedules or that such matter or item is otherwise material.

10.13 Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of either party hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

Each party hereto irrevocably consents to the service of any process, pleading, notices or other papers by the mailing of copies thereof by registered, certified or first class mail, postage prepaid, to such party at such party’s address set forth herein, or by any other method provided or permitted under California law.

10.15 Arbitration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any claim or dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, the interpretation, making performance, breach or termination thereof, shall be finally and exclusively settled by binding arbitration to be held in Santa Clara, California. The arbitration shall be made in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) and such arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitrator chosen by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller; failing such agreement, the arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) independent arbitrators, one chosen by Seller, one chosen by Buyer and such two arbitrators shall mutually select a third arbitrator, with any decision of two such arbitrators shall be binding; provided, however, if such arbitrators fail to agree on a third arbitrator within twenty (20) calendar days, either Buyer or Seller may make written application to JAMS, San Francisco, California for the appointment of a single arbitrator (the “JAMS Arbitrator”) to resolve the dispute by arbitration. At the request of JAMS the parties involved in the dispute shall meet with JAMS at its offices within ten (10) calendar days of such request to discuss the dispute and the qualifications and experience which each party respectively believes the JAMS Arbitrator should have; provided, however, the selection of the JAMS Arbitrator shall be the exclusive decision of JAMS and shall be made within thirty (30) days of the written application to JAMS. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available in any judicial proceeding instituted under California law to resolve the dispute. The prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses shall be borne by the unsuccessful party as determined by the arbitrators. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall pay its own costs and expenses (including counsel fees) of any such arbitration. The parties hereto expressly waive all rights whatsoever to file an appeal against or otherwise to challenge any award by the arbitrator(s) hereunder; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit the rights of either party to bring a proceeding in any applicable jurisdiction to conform, enforce or enter judgment upon such award (and the rights of the other party, if such proceeding is brought, to contest such confirmation, enforcement or entry of judgment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction and proper venue in order to seek and obtain injunctive or equitable relief or provisional remedies as necessary to preserve and protect such party’s rights under this Agreement.

10.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT EACH MAY LEGALLY DO SO, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, OR RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO, THE DEALING OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.

10.17 Interpretation; Rules of Construction.

The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.18 Knowledge. Whenever used in this Agreement, “to the Knowledge of Seller,” “to Seller’s Knowledge” or “Known to Seller” or related terms shall mean the actual knowledge of those individuals specifically listed on Schedule 10.18, and the knowledge that such individuals should have obtained after reasonable inquiry in the course of the performance of their duties on behalf of Seller.
