f. Section 5.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to
add new Section 5.2(b) as follows:
"(b) Seller hereby grants to Company and Buyer, for the period
beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the
fifteenth month following the Closing Date, a worldwide, non-
exclusive, non-transferable license under the Transition
Trademarks (as defined below) to use such trademarks in
connection with documentation, collateral materials, packaging
and sale of Transition Products (as defined below) in
substantially the same manner that such trademarks were used by
the Seller or Company prior to the Closing; provided, however,
that no Transition Trademark shall be used in public advertising
of any product, service or entity. Company shall maintain the
quality of the goods with which such trademarks are used at the
level maintained by Company or Seller prior to Closing. Without
limiting the foregoing, neither Buyer nor Company shall use the
Transition Trademarks in a manner that detracts from the goodwill
associated with the use of such trademarks or in a manner
contrary to the reasonable instructions of Seller. All goodwill
associated with the use of such Transition Trademarks shall inure
to the benefit of Seller. Buyer and Company agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or to effect customer
qualifications of the Transition Products to remove the
Transition Trademarks. For the purposes of this Section 5.2(b),
(A) "Transition Products" means all products sold, offered for
sale, or provided by Company prior to the
2
Closing including all such products in the Company's inventory as
of the Closing Date, and (B) "Transition Trademarks" means all
trademarks, logos, graphics, and trade dress of Seller used by
Company prior to the Closing Date in connection with the
marketing, sale, promotion and packaging of the Transition
Products, other than those which are transferred to Company.
Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller against any Loss
arising out of any warranty or product liability claims asserted
against Seller with respect to Transition Products sold by
Company or Buyer after the Closing Date resulting from Buyers or
Company's use of the Transition Marks, except to the extent that
such claim arises from a breach by Seller or Company of any
representation or warranty hereunder. The indemnity provided in
this Section 5.2 shall be subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.4 of
this Agreement but not the other provisions of Article X."
g. Section 5.8 of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by
adding a new sentence at the end of such Section, which shall read as
follows:
"Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the lease identified as Item 1 to Schedule 5.8 (re "Premises at
000/000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx") shall be assigned
immediately following the Closing Date pursuant to the Lease
Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit 5.8(a)."
h. Section 5.14 of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting clause (a) of Section 5.14 and replacing it with the following:

deleting Section 5.16(a) in its entirety and replacing it with the

deleting Section 5.16(c) in its entirety and replacing it with the
following:
"(c) To the extent any Other Business Assets have not been
assigned and transferred prior to Closing, Seller shall take such
additionally
3
commercially reasonable actions after the Closing to effect such
assignments and transfers as are reasonably requested by Buyer
(or, in the case of any third party software licenses, replace
such license); provided, however, that with respect to the
transfer and assignment of any third party software licenses
contemplated by this Section 5.16 or Section 5.14(a), or
otherwise necessary or used to conduct the Business (unless only
necessary or used to conduct the bi-polar programmable logic
device business) as conducted prior to the Closing (but without
reliance on the rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates, other
than the Company) (collectively, "Third Party Licenses"), Seller
shall use commercially reasonable actions after the Closing to
effect such assignments and transfers (or replace the licenses
with substantially similar licenses). Buyer may make arrangements
for the transfer or assignment of Third Party Licenses (or the
replacement thereof with substantially similar licenses) and
Seller shall reimburse Buyer any sums paid to third party
licensors for such transfers, assignments and replacements;
provided that this sentence shall not apply to the EDA Software

Licenses"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be
obligated to pay to third party licensors and/or reimburse Buyer
amounts (other than amounts in respect of the Cadence Licenses)
in excess of $800,000 in the aggregate for all such assignments,
transfers, replacements or reimbursements (the "Limit"). In
addition, Seller's obligations to expend sums for the assignment,
transfer or replacement of Third Party Licenses shall terminate
on the first anniversary of the Closing Date. Payments made by

of Third Party Licenses, which are subject to the Limit, shall
not be made without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld."

by deleting Section 5.16(d) in its entirety and replacing it with the
following:
"(d) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.16(c), the
assignments and transfers pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall be
at no cost to Buyer, Company or their respective subsidiaries and
Affiliates; provided, however, that the transfer by Seller and
purchase by Company of certain leasehold improvements at Xxxxxxx
Drive, Sunnyvale, California at or prior to the Closing shall
take place for $3,768,000."
l. Section 5.16 of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by

documents as are reasonably requested by Buyer to give effect to,
record and evidence any assignments and transfers required to be
made pursuant hereto or
4
Section 5.15 at no cost to Buyer, Company or their respective
subsidiaries and Affiliates."

deemed to include the following incidents of such business:
income, cash flow, operations, condition (financial or other),
assets, properties, revenues and liabilities."
o. Section 1.4 of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting the second sentence of such Section which reads "Not later than
five business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer
a written notice setting forth Seller's good faith estimate (applying the
Agreed Accounting Principles) as of the Closing Date of the Closing Equity
Adjustment Amount (the "Estimated Closing Equity Adjustment Amount") and,
based thereon, Seller's calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price, which
shall be binding on Buyer and Seller as the Estimated Purchase Price
hereunder absent manifest error" and replacing it with the following:
"Not later than five business days prior to the Closing Date,
Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written notice setting forth
Seller's good faith estimate (applying the Agreed Accounting
Principles), which estimate shall be based upon a balance sheet
prepared as of a date no earlier than five days prior to the
