XXXXXX (the “Executive”) and XXXX MICROPRODUCTS INC., a California corporation (together with its predecessors and its successors and assigns, the “Company”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed by the Company;

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive (the “Parties”) desire to set forth the terms on which Executive is ending his employment with the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Parties have negotiated and agreed to a final settlement of their respective rights, obligations and liabilities.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Resignation. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, effective as of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 21) (the “Status Change Date”), Executive hereby voluntarily resigns his position as an executive officer of the Company, including his position as Chief Operating Officer and President – Americas, as well as any other positions (including officer and directorships) with other entities that are affiliated with the Company (“Affiliated Entities”). Executive agrees to execute any documents that may be necessary or appropriate to effect or to memorialize any resignations from the Company or its affiliates as contemplated by this Agreement. Until the Termination Date (as defined below), Executive shall continue to devote his skills and abilities to the Company on a full time regular basis.

2. All Sums Paid. Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and the payment of base salary between the Agreement Date and Termination Date, and for accrued vacation and outstanding reimbursable expenses, Executive acknowledges and agrees that all sums, other than that which is specifically set forth in this Agreement, have been paid to Executive, in full.

3. Change In Status. From and after the Status Change Date, until the Termination Date, Executive shall remain employed by the Company, at a base annual salary of $465,000.00, paid semimonthly, less any statutory withholdings and deductions, in the role of “Consultant to the Chief Executive Officer” reporting directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Executive’s employment as “Consultant to the Chief Executive Officer” shall end on August 19, 2008 (the “Termination Date”).

3.1 Severance Payment. From and after May 15, 2008, should this Agreement become effective as set forth in Paragraph 21 hereof, Executive shall be paid an amount, at an annualized rate of $465,000.00, paid semimonthly, less any and all statutory withholding and deductions as may be required by law or as authorized by Executive, through and including December 31, 2008. In addition, on or before December 31, 2008, Executive shall be paid a lump sum payment of $174,375.00, less any and all statutory withholding and deductions.

3.2 Stock Rights. Executive will not be eligible to receive any further stock option or restricted stock unit grants after the Status Change Date. However, existing stock option and restricted stock unit grants will continue to vest as provided in Section 4.

3.3 Benefit Plans. Executive and Executive’s dependents shall continue to be covered by the Company’s group health benefit plans, at the Company’s expense, except for the Executive-paid portion of such premiums, until the Termination Date, to the same extent Executive and Executive’s dependents were covered by said plans as of the Agreement Date. If Executive desires to continue available coverage, pursuant to COBRA, after the Termination Date, Executive may do so. Company agrees to pay Executive’s COBRA expense until Executive finds employment providing comparable health benefits, or August 31, 2009, whichever occurs first; thereafter, COBRA coverage shall be at Executive’s own expense. Executive understands and agrees that he must timely complete a COBRA application in order to receive the extension of health benefits beyond the Termination Date.

3.4 Survivor Benefit Plan. Executive has a survivor benefit plan, dated December 8, 2002, which pays a survivor benefit if Executive dies while employed. Such benefit shall terminate as of the Termination Date.

3.5 Incentive Bonus Plans and Other Benefits. On or before June 15, 2008, Executive will be paid a lump sum payment in the amount of $139,237.00, less statutory withholding and deductions, representing the earned incentive plan payment for 2007, and a lump sum payment in the amount of $50,000.00, less statutory withholding and deductions, representing the earned incentive plan payment for 2008. Executive may be eligible for additional compensation, if in the sole judgment of the Company, Executive earned incentive payments based on financial metrics achieved in 2006 and 2007. Executive shall have no right to contest the determination of the Company as to the amount owed, which may be zero, or when it is paid; provided that Executive may review the basis of the Company’s calculations and further provided that such determination and date of payment (if any) will be consistently made for Executive, the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President, Human Resources. Executive is entitled to no other incentive or bonus plan payments and will no longer be eligible to participate in any bonus or management incentive program after the Status Change Date. Executive will not be entitled to any other compensation or benefits after the Termination Date, other than what is specifically set forth in this Section 3. Executive’s car allowance and vacation accrual will be terminated effective as of the Termination Date.

4. Outstanding Stock Rights. Executive acknowledges that he holds the stock options and restricted stock units (the “Stock Rights”) set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has no other options, stock units, or other rights received from the Company to purchase any stock or securities of the Company or any affiliate thereof (collectively, the “Issuers”). Executive’s outstanding Stock Rights will continue to vest through the date Executive ceases to be a Service Provider as defined in the Stock Option Plan under which such stock rights were granted and will continue to be governed by the agreements under which such Stock Rights were granted. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he does not enter into this Agreement on the basis of or in reliance in any way on any representation or assurance of any Issuer or any officer, director, Executive or agent of any Issuer regarding the current or future value of his Stock Rights or of any stock or securities of any Issuer. Executive also understands and agrees that the Company must be current in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have effective registration statements covering the issuance of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options prior to Executive exercising any such options, unless an exemption from said requirements is available under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws. If the Company becomes current in its filings with the SEC during the term of this Agreement or the concurrently executed Consultant Agreement, the Company will promptly file any necessary registration statements relating to options issued to Executive. In the event that the Company does not have registration statements in effect on or before the expiration of the Stock Rights, Executive understands that he will be able to exercise the Stock Rights if an exemption from registration is available, but will be unable to sell the shares issued upon such exercise except pursuant to an exemption from registration covering such resale. Executive acknowledges that, if the Stock Rights are exercised without an effective registration statement covering the issuance of shares upon exercise of such Stock Rights, the Company will include on its stock records, and on any certificates representing such shares, legends restricting the transfer of such shares except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws. To the extent such Stock Rights are not exercised, they will expire without any further compensation paid to Executive.

(d) Notwithstanding the above, Executive and the Company do not intend to release claims that Executive may not release as a matter of law, including, but not limited to, the Company’s obligations, if any, to indemnify Executive pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Company’s Bylaws.
