ARTICLE VIII

COVENANTS OF THE SELLER, THE BUYER AND THE BUYER AFFILIATE.

The Seller covenants as follows:

Section 8.1 Covenant Not To Compete; Non-Solicitation.

(a) The Seller acknowledges that the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 8.1 are essential to protect the value of the Business being acquired by the Buyer. Therefore, the Seller agrees that for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on

25

the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (such period is hereinafter referred to as the “Restricted Period”), the Seller shall not anywhere in the world participate or engage, directly or indirectly, for themselves or on behalf of or in conjunction with any Person, whether as an employee, agent, officer, consultant, director, shareholder, partner, joint venturer, investor or otherwise, in the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any entity traded on any national securities exchange if Seller does not directly or indirectly own 5% or more of any class of securities of such entity.

(b) The Seller further agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, for its own account or for the account of any individual or other entity, encourage, solicit, or induce, or in any manner attempt to encourage, solicit, or induce, (i) any Person who was employed by, as agent of, or a service provider to, the Business to terminate (or, in the case of an agent or service provider, terminate or reduce) such Person’s employment, agency or service, as the case may be, with the Buyer, or (ii) any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation (or any direct or indirect subsidiary of any such customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation) of the Business to cease doing business with or reduce the amount of business conducted with (including by providing similar services or products to any such Person) the Buyer, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.1(b) shall prevent Seller from hiring any employee of Buyer (i) who responds to a general solicitation of Seller that is not directed specifically to such employee or any employee or (ii) whose employment has been terminated by Buyer, or (iii) after 90 days from the date such employee terminates such employee’s employment with Buyer.

(c) The Seller agrees that a monetary remedy for a breach of the agreement set forth in Section 8.1(a) and Section 8.1(b) hereof will be inadequate and impracticable and further agree that such a breach would cause the Buyer irreparable harm, and that the Buyer shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages. The Seller hereby acknowledges that Seller’s Business is conducted worldwide. In the event of such a breach, the Seller agrees that the Buyer shall be entitled to such injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions as a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine. The Buyer, the Seller and the Parent agree that the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the covenant not to compete set forth in this Section 8.1 pursuant to Section 10.1 below shall not be considered in any proceeding to enforce or otherwise with respect to this covenant not to compete, including, without limitation, as evidence of adequacy or inadequacy of consideration therefor or as evidence of the amount of damages for any violation thereof (it being agreed that the covenant not to compete set forth in this Section 8.1 is integral to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Buyer’s willingness to proceed with such transactions and that the Seller and the Parent shall not assert that the Purchase Price is severable in any such proceeding with respect to this covenant not to compete).

(d) If any provision of this Section 8.1 is invalid in part, it shall be curtailed, as to time, location or scope, to the minimum extent required for its validity under the laws of the United States and shall be binding and enforceable with respect to the Seller as so curtailed.

26

Section 8.2 Change of Name. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Seller and the Parent shall take all action necessary to change the corporation name of the Seller to a name that is not (and that is not confusingly similar to) “Gryphics,” it being the intent of the parties hereto that from and after the Closing Date, the Buyer will have the sole and exclusive right as against the Seller and all other Persons to conduct business under such names and that the Buyer may commence doing so at time of the Closing.

The Buyer and the Buyer Affiliate covenant as follows:

Section 8.3 Access to Books and Records. After the Closing Date, the Buyer, the Buyer Affiliate and their respective Affiliates shall retain the Files and Records for a period consistent with their respective record-retention policies and practices and, for at least six years after the Closing Date, shall not dispose of or destroy the Files and Records without first providing an offer, on a commercially reasonable basis, to surrender such Files and Records to Seller. In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made by or against or incurred by the Parent or the Seller with respect to the period prior to the Closing financial or tax reporting and legal obligations of the Seller, the Parent or their Affiliates, after the Closing, upon reasonable notice, the Buyer and the Buyer Affiliate shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to: (i) afford the Parent and its representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the Files and Records maintained by the Buyer, (ii) furnish to the Parent, the Seller and their representatives such additional financial and other information regarding the Purchased Assets and the Business as the Parent or the Seller may from time to time reasonably request in connection with the fulfillment of such obligations by the Parent and the Seller and (iii) make available to the Parent and the Seller, the employees of the Buyer, the Buyer Affiliate or any of their respective Affiliates whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist the Parent and the Seller in evaluating any such claims and in defending such claims, including the presence of such Persons as witnesses in hearings or trials for such purposes; provided, however, that such investigation shall be conducted in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with any of the businesses or operations of the Buyer, the Buyer Affiliate or their Affiliates.

Section 8.4 Short-Term License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and provided that the Closing occurs, the Parent grants to the Buyer as of the Closing Date and the Buyer accepts a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, short term license to use the name or xxxx “Cascade” or “Cascade Microtech” and all variations and derivatives thereof in connection with the transition of the Business to the Buyer, solely on the supply of business cards, stationery and other materials that include such marks existing on the Closing Date and included in the Purchased Assets acquired by the Buyer. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cease using, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure new business cards, stationery and such other materials and otherwise cause its Affiliates to cease using, the name or xxxx “Cascade” or “Cascade Microtech” and all variations and derivatives thereof on or before the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date. In no event will the foregoing license extend beyond the date that is 90 days following the Closing Date. All use of such names and marks by the Buyer shall inure to the benefit of the Parent.

30

indemnify and fully defend, save and hold the Buyer, Buyer Affiliate, any Affiliate of the Buyer and Buyer Affiliate and their respective stockholders, partners, members, directors, officers and employees (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”), harmless if any Buyer Indemnitee shall at any time or from time to time suffer any damage, liability, loss, cost, expense (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees in any action or proceeding between the Seller, the Parent and the Buyer Indemnitees or between the Buyer Indemnitees and any third party or otherwise), deficiency, interest, penalty, impositions, assessments or fines (collectively, “Buyer Losses”) arising out of or resulting from any and all the following:

32

(b) For purposes of calculating the amount of Seller Losses incurred in connection with any such misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement, any and all references to “material” shall be disregarded.

Section 11.7 Procedures for Indemnification by the Buyer and the Parent. If a Proceeding is begun, made or instituted by a third party as a result of which the Buyer or Buyer Affiliate may become obligated to a Seller Indemnitee hereunder, such Seller Indemnitee shall give prompt, written notice to the Buyer. The failure to give such prompt, written notice shall not, however, relieve Buyer and the Buyer Affiliate of their indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that defense of the Proceeding is prejudiced by reason of such failure. The Buyer and Buyer Affiliate agree to defend, contest or otherwise protect the Seller Indemnitee against any Proceeding at their sole cost and expense. The Seller Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in the defense thereof by counsel of the Seller Indemnitee’s choice and shall in any event cooperate with and assist the Buyer and Buyer Affiliate to the extent reasonably possible.
