Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value of the Surviving Corporation.

          3.2. Escrow Fund. Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, the Sole Stockholder and NETGEAR shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with an escrow agent selected by NETGEAR and reasonably acceptable to the Sole Stockholder (the “Escrow Agent”), substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, promptly following the Closing, but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following the Closing Date, NETGEAR shall deposit the Escrow Consideration into an escrow account, to be managed by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”). Distributions of any Escrow Consideration from the Escrow Account shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Sole Stockholder shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements relating thereto.

          3.3. Exchange of Certificates.

          (a) Exchange Procedures. Upon surrender, on or before the Closing Date, to Merger Sub by the Sole Stockholder of one or more Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 3.3(b)) representing all Shares, NETGEAR shall pay or cause to be paid promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within one Business Day) to the Sole Stockholder the aggregate amount payable pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (after giving effect to the deposit of the Escrow Consideration into the Escrow Account and to any required tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.3(d)). Such payment shall be made in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Sole Stockholder to NETGEAR in writing not less than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates.

          (b) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by NETGEAR, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by NETGEAR as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, NETGEAR will pay or cause the payment of an amount (after giving effect to any required tax

withholdings) equal to the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration.

          (c) Appraisal Rights. No Person who has perfected a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Each Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. SkipJam shall give NETGEAR (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable law that are received by SkipJam relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under the DGCL. SkipJam shall not, except with the prior written consent of NETGEAR, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

          (d) Withholding Rights. Each of NETGEAR and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to the holders of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or NETGEAR, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by NETGEAR or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or NETGEAR, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Section 3.3(d), the parties do not currently anticipate, based on the information provided to such parties as of the date hereof, any withholding obligation in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

          (e) Stock Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights. Commencing on the date hereof, the stock transfer books of SkipJam shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of SkipJam other than as required to comply with the terms of this Agreement. At and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate shall cease to have rights as a stockholder of SkipJam, except for the right to surrender his Certificate in exchange for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration and no transfer of Shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation.

          3.4. Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that SkipJam changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a

reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF SKIPJAM

          Subject to such exceptions as are specifically disclosed in the appropriately corresponding section of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection to which the relevance of such item is readily apparent) SkipJam hereby represents and warrants to NETGEAR and Merger Sub that:

          4.1. Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. (a) SkipJam is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and Assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of its properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, when taken together with all other such failures, has not had and is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent, materially delay or impair the ability of SkipJam to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. SkipJam has made available to NETGEAR a complete and correct copy of SkipJam’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws (collectively, “Organizational Documents”), each as amended to date. SkipJam’s Organizational Documents so delivered are in full force and effect. SkipJam is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Organizational Documents. Section 4.1(a) of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule contains a correct and complete list of each jurisdiction where SkipJam is organized and/or qualified to do business.

          (b) Except as disclosed in Section 4.1(b) of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule, SkipJam does not (i) have any Subsidiaries or (ii) directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity.

          4.2. Books and Records. The books of account, minute books, stock record books, and other records of SkipJam, all of which have been made available to NETGEAR, are complete and correct in all material respects, and have been maintained in accordance with sound business and accounting practices. The minute books of SkipJam contain accurate and complete records, in all material respects, of all meetings

held by, and corporate action taken by, the stockholders, the boards of directors, and committees of the boards of directors of SkipJam, and no meeting of any such stockholders, board of directors or committee has been held where matters were approved, voted upon or acted upon for which minutes have not been prepared and are not contained in such minute books.

          4.3. Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of SkipJam consists of 5,000 Shares, of which 4,000 Shares were outstanding as of the close of business on the date hereof. All of the issued and outstanding Shares have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and have been issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. There are no outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, calls, commitments, preemptive or other rights or agreements of any kind that obligate SkipJam to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other securities of SkipJam or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or that give any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any securities of SkipJam, no securities or obligations evidencing such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding, and SkipJam has not reserved any shares of capital stock or other securities of SkipJam for issue at a future date. There are no voting agreements, trusts, proxies or other agreements, instruments or undertakings with respect to the voting of the capital stock of SkipJam to which SkipJam or, to SkipJam’s knowledge, any stockholder of SkipJam is a party. SkipJam does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the sole stockholder of SkipJam on any matter. As of the date hereof, the outstanding shares of SkipJam’s capital stock are owned as set forth in Section 4.3 of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule. As of the Effective Time, (i) the outstanding shares of SkipJam’s capital stock shall be owned as set forth in Section 4.3 of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) other than as set forth in Section 4.3 of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule, there shall be no outstanding capital stock of SkipJam or capital stock of SkipJam issuable by SkipJam upon the exercise of options, warrants or other rights to acquire such capital stock or upon conversion of securities convertible into or exchangeable, directly or indirectly, for such capital stock or such options, warrants or rights.

          4.4. Corporate Authority; Approval and Fairness. (a) SkipJam has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate, the Merger. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by NETGEAR and Merger Sub, this Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of SkipJam enforceable against SkipJam in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

          (b) The board of directors of SkipJam has unanimously determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, SkipJam and its stockholders, approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and has recommended the adoption of this Agreement to the holders of Shares. No other corporate proceedings are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (other than the filing and recordation of the Certificate of Merger and such other documents as required by the DGCL).

          (c) The requisite approval under the DGCL of the shareholders of SkipJam has been obtained by the delivery of the Sole Stockholder Consent. The Sole Stockholder Consent approves this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of SkipJam.

          4.5. No Conflict; Governmental Filings. (a) Except as provided in Section 4.5(a) of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by SkipJam, and the consummation by SkipJam of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not constitute or result in (i) a conflict with, or a breach or violation of, SkipJam’s Organizational Documents, (ii) assuming that all consents, approvals, authorizations and other actions described in Section 4.5(b) have been obtained and all filings and obligations described in Section 4.5(b) have been made or complied with, a conflict with or violation of any Law applicable to SkipJam or by which any property or Asset of SkipJam is bound or affected, (iii) a breach or violation of, a default under, the acceleration of any obligations under, or the creation of any Lien (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) on the Assets of SkipJam pursuant to, any Contract binding upon SkipJam or any Law or governmental or non-governmental permit or license to which SkipJam is subject or (iv) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any of the Contracts, except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, for any conflict, breach, violation, default, acceleration, creation or change that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent, materially delay or impair the ability of SkipJam to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 4.5 of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule sets forth a correct and complete list of Contracts of SkipJam pursuant to which consents or waivers are or may be required prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not subject to the exception set forth with respect to clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above).

          (b) Except as provided in Section 4.5(b) of the SkipJam Disclosure Schedule, other than (i) the filings and/or notices pursuant to Section 2.3, and (ii) such other consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, or filings that, if not obtained or made, would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or impair the ability of SkipJam to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by SkipJam with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be

          (g) All contributions, premiums or payments required to be made or accrued with respect to any Plan have been made on or before their due dates. All such contributions have been fully deducted for income tax purposes and no such deduction has been challenged or disallowed by any Governmental Entity and no fact or event exists which could give rise to any such challenge or disallowance.

Neither the execution of this Agreement, approval by the Sole Stockholder of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions or satisfaction of the conditions contemplated hereby will (w) entitle any employee of SkipJam or any of its ERISA Affiliates to severance pay or to any increase in severance pay upon any termination of employment after the date hereof, (x) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the

amount payable under, or result in any other material obligation pursuant to, any Plan, (y) limit or restrict the right of SkipJam or, after consummation of the transactions or satisfaction of the conditions contemplated hereby, NETGEAR or Surviving Corporation, to merge, amend or terminate any Plan or (z) result in payments under any Plan which would not be deductible under Section 162(m) or Section 280G of the Code.

          10.2. Indemnification by the Sole Stockholder and the Designated Principals. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Article X, the Designated Principals shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless NETGEAR and Merger Sub and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “NETGEAR Indemnified Parties”), for, and shall pay to the NETGEAR Indemnified Parties the amount of, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees (other than costs relating to in-house attorneys)), whether or not involving a third-party claim, suffered, incurred or paid by them (collectively, “Damages”), directly or indirectly arising or resulting from or in connection with:

     (i) any breach of any representation or warranty (without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality or knowledge (or similar qualifications) contained therein in determining the amount of any Damages) made by SkipJam in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by SkipJam pursuant to this Agreement; or

     (ii) any breach by SkipJam of any covenant or obligation of SkipJam in this Agreement.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except with respect to claims arising out of or relating to fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach to which the limitations set forth in this Section 10.2(b) shall not be applicable, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Damages arising out of or resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 10.2(a) that may be recovered from each of the Designated Principals shall be limited to: (i) $7,600,000, in the case of the Sole Stockholder and (ii) an amount equal to the Retention Bonus payable to each such Designated Principal (other than the Sole Stockholder), in the case of the Designated Principals (other than the Sole Stockholder). The first $200,000 recoverable on account of Damages arising out of or resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 10.2(a) shall be recoverable from the Sole Stockholder. Any amount recoverable in excess of $200,000 (whether such recoverable amount is less than, subject to, or not subject to, the maximum amount that may be recovered from each of the Designated Principals pursuant to the preceding sentence) on account of such Damages shall be allocated among the Designated Principals, and the portion thereof recoverable from each Designated Principal shall be equal to the product of (i) the total amount recoverable on account of such Damages and (ii) the Pro Rata Indemnity Fraction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the date on which any claim pursuant to Section 10.2 may be first asserted be limited in the case of any such claim involving, arising out of or relating to fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach. The foregoing limitations on the date on which any claim pursuant to Section 10.2 may be first asserted shall not affect the right of a party with respect to any such claim made by such party in writing delivered in accordance with Section 11.5 prior to the expiration of the applicable period set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph (c).

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the amount of any Damages recoverable pursuant to this Section 10.2 from any Designated Principal (other than the Sole Stockholder) exceed the amount actually received by such Designated Principal as a result of a payment of all or a portion of the amount set forth on Schedule 10.2(b) hereof and any amount set forth on Schedule 10.2(b) that may or will be paid to such Designated Principal after the date on which Damages arise (such latter amount being applied first to any Damages prior to payment to such Designated Principal), except with respect to claims arising out of or relating to fraud, intentional

misrepresentation or willful breach by such Designated Principal to which the foregoing limitation shall not apply.

          10.3. Procedures for Indemnification. (a) If a claim for Damages is to be made by any of the NETGEAR Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article X (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party agrees to give written notice to the Designated Principals (the “Indemnifying Parties”) promptly and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the date the Indemnified Party shall first become aware of such claim of the assertion of any fact, condition, event, claim, action or proceeding that may give rise to Damages in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article X (a “Claim”); provided that the failure to give such prompt notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. The notice shall state in reasonable detail the information then available regarding the amount and nature of the Claim and shall specify the provision or provisions of this Agreement under which the Claim is asserted. The Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted the notice of the Claim and to have agreed to pay the Damages at issue if such Indemnifying Party does not send a notice of disagreement to the Indemnified Party within sixty (60) calendar days after receiving notice of the Claim. In the case of a disputed Claim, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve the matter internally on an expeditious basis and in any event within forty-five (45) calendar days after notice is received by the Indemnifying Party. If after such forty-five (45) calendar day period has passed, the parties have not mutually resolved the matter, then the Indemnified Parties may initiate legal proceedings with respect to such Claim.

          (b) If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any Indemnified Party, written notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the earlier of (i) ten (10) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons and (ii) sixty (60) days after the Indemnified Party shall first become aware of the filing of such suit or action); provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. After such notice, provided that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing, based on the information then available to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, by written notice to the Indemnified Party given within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of notice of the claim from the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (b), at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action (except with respect to any claims for equitable relief, provided that the Indemnified Party shall consult with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any such proceeding), (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, unless the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, in which event the

Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, to engage separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld (it being agreed that it shall be reasonable to withhold such consent if such compromise or settlement does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, or imposes any liability on the Indemnified Party). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate at the expense of the Indemnifying Party in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after the notice of the claim referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (b), the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for indemnifiable Damages arising from the settlement or resolution of any claim pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 10.3 (subject to the indemnification provisions of this Article X (and the limitations contained herein) and the Escrow Agreement).

          10.4. Sole Stockholder and Designated Principals Representative. (a) Michael Spilo (such person and any successor or successors being the “Stockholders’ Representative”), shall act as the representative of the Designated Principals, and shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Designated Principals and to take any and all actions required or permitted to be taken by the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement, with respect to any claims (including the settlement thereof) made by a NETGEAR Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article X and with respect to any actions to be taken by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (including, without limitation, the exercise of the power to (i) authorize the delivery of Escrow Consideration to a NETGEAR Indemnified Party in satisfaction of claims by a NETGEAR Indemnified Party, (ii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims and (iii) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

          (b) In all matters relating to this Article X, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be the only party entitled to assert the rights of the Designated Principals, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall perform all of the obligations of the Designated Principals. The Designated Principals shall be bound by all actions taken by the Stockholders’ Representative in his capacity as such. NETGEAR is authorized to rely conclusively on any such action of the Stockholders’ Representative as being the

duly authorized action of the Designated Principals and no party shall have any cause of action against NETGEAR for any action taken by NETGEAR in reliance upon the instructions, decisions or actions of the Stockholders’ Representative. The NETGEAR Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations, decisions and actions of the Stockholders’ Representative.

          (c) The Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly provide written notice to the Designated Principals of any action taken on their behalf by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to the authority delegated to the Stockholders’ Representative under this Section 10.4. The Stockholders’ Representative shall at all times act in his capacity as Stockholders’ Representative in a manner that the Stockholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interests of the Designated Principals. Neither the Stockholders’ Representative, nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, if any, shall be liable to any Person for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken, under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except in the case of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful breach. The Stockholders’ Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by him and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by him in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The Stockholders’ Representative (in his capacity as such) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. As to any matters not expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholders’ Representative (in his capacity as such) shall not exercise any discretion or take any action.

          (d) Each Designated Principal shall indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse the Stockholders’ Representative from and against such ratable share of any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, other than such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising out of or resulting from the Stockholders’ Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful breach.
