Other Definitional and Interpretive Matters

. Unless otherwise expressly provided, for purposes of this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation shall apply:

(a)Calculation of Time Period. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the starting reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b)Gender and Number. Any reference in this Agreement to gender shall include all genders, and words imparting the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa.

(c)Headings. The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into Articles, Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to any “Section” are to the corresponding Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(d)Herein. The words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.

(e)Including. The word “including” or any variation thereof means “including, without limitation” and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or matters immediately following it.

(f)Currency. All currency references included herein shall refer to United States dollars.

(g)Reasonable Commercial Efforts. Reasonable commercial efforts means that the obligated Party is required to make a diligent, reasonable and good faith effort to accomplish the applicable objective. Such obligation, however, does not require an expenditure of funds or the incurrence of a liability on the part of the obligated Party unless the other Party agrees to refund the obligated Party for such expenditure or assume such liability, nor does it require that the obligated Party act in a manner that would be contrary to normal commercial practices in order to accomplish the objective. The fact that the objective is or is not actually accomplished is not, by itself, an indication that the obligated Party did or did not in fact utilize its reasonable commercial efforts in attempting to accomplish the objective. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1.3(g) shall not affect, modify or alter the obligations of the Parties with respect to matters relating to the use of reasonable best efforts in respect of the Financing, including the Parties’ obligations pursuant to Section 5.15.

(h)Schedules and Exhibits.

5.4Business Employees

(a)Prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any updates to the information provided in Schedule 3.10(a)(i) as of the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Updated Employee List”).

(b)Buyer or any Buyer Designee shall make offers of employment, contingent on the Closing, to the Business Employees listed on Schedule 3.10(a)(i) (including those absent due to vacation, holiday, illness, leave of absence or short-term disability, but excluding any Business Employee on long-term disability). Seller and any applicable Subsidiary shall cooperate and assist in facilitating Buyer’s or a Buyer Designee’s offers and will not take any action, or cause any of the Subsidiaries to take any action, which would impede, hinder, interfere or otherwise compete with Buyer’s or a Buyer Designee’s effort to hire any Business Employee. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall comply with all applicable Laws in connection with the transfer of the Business Employees to Buyer or a Buyer Designee, including with respect to notice and other procedural requirements and Automatic Transfer Laws. Seller and its applicable Subsidiaries will provide any and all information reasonably required by Buyer or a Buyer’s Designee in order for Buyer to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement with respect to Business Employees. The Parties will enter into appropriate documentation for relevant jurisdictions outside the United States where necessary or appropriate for the transfer of any Business Employees. Each Business Employee who accepts Buyer’s or a Buyer Designee’s offer of employment, as of the effective date of their employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall be referred to as a “Transferred Employee.” Employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee of Transferred Employees shall be effective as of the Closing Effective Time, except that the employment of individuals receiving short-term disability benefits or on approved leave of absence on the Closing Date will become effective as of the date they present themselves for work with Buyer or a Buyer Designee or such other date as is prescribed by applicable Law.

(c)The Parties will comply with applicable Law regarding terms of employment of Transferred Employees. Where terms are not dictated by applicable Law, Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to Transferred Employees, at a minimum, the same base salaries or, as applicable, base wage rates, offered by Seller or the applicable Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule 3.10(a)(i). Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to Transferred Employees employee benefits and new hire equity grants that are no less favorable than those benefits and equity grants provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer or the applicable Buyer Designee and shall structure offers to Business Employees in any foreign jurisdiction so as not to trigger termination or severance costs, if any. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize each Transferred Employee’s service with Seller or a Subsidiary prior to the Closing, including service with predecessor employers that was recognized by Seller or a Subsidiary, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate or vesting in each employee benefit plan, program, policy and arrangement of Buyer or a Buyer Designee, including any vacation plans and severance plans, to the extent permitted by such plans, programs, policies and arrangements, provided that such service shall not be recognized to the extent such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits.

-49-

Broadcom and Cypress Semiconductor Confidential

(d)Effective as of the Closing, Seller or the applicable Subsidiary will terminate the employment of any Business Employee that is offered employment in accordance with Sections 5.4(b) and 5.4(c) above and rejects such offer of employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee, including in connection with an applicable objection under an Automatic Transfer Law. Seller or the applicable Subsidiary will not pay such Business Employee any severance or other similar benefit unless otherwise required by applicable Law or an applicable Benefit Plan listed on Schedule 3.10(b), it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any such liabilities shall be Excluded Liabilities hereunder.

(e)Other than as described on Schedule 5.4(e), Transferred Employees will not be eligible for any severance benefits under the terms of any Benefit Plan of Seller or any Subsidiary. Seller shall maintain and shall not amend the transition incentive plan described on Schedule 5.4(e) for six (6) months following the Closing and pay any and all amounts due thereunder.

(f)To the extent permitted under applicable Buyer benefit plans, (i) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any pre-existing condition exclusion (to the extent such exclusion was waived under applicable health and Welfare Plans offered to the Transferred Employees by Seller or a Subsidiary) and proof of insurability, and (ii) the medical and dental plans maintained by Buyer and any Affiliate of Buyer shall recognize as dependents of the Transferred Employees the dependents recognized by Seller’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s medical and dental plans.

(g)As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause one or more defined contribution savings plans intended to qualify under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code (the “Buyer Savings Plan”) to provide for the receipt of Transferred Employees’ lump sum cash distributions, in the form of an eligible rollover distribution from the Broadcom Corporation 401(k) Plan, provided such rollovers are made at the election of the Transferred Employees and in accordance with the terms of the Buyer Savings Plan. Seller shall cause the Broadcom Corporation 401(k) Plan to fully vest Transferred Employees in their accounts immediately prior to the Closing and permit the Transferred Employees to elect a lump sum cash distribution of benefits accrued through the Closing Date in accordance with the Code.

(h)The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to determine whether any notification may be required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or similar state or local law (the “WARN Act”) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller will be responsible for providing any notification that may be required under the WARN Act with respect to any of its employees. Buyer will be responsible for providing any notification that may be required under the WARN Act with respect to any Transferred Employees terminated after the Closing Date. In addition, Seller shall, at its own expense, give all notices and other information required to be given by Seller to the Business Employees pursuant to Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall be solely responsible for providing continuation coverage under the COBRA.

Broadcom and Cypress Semiconductor Confidential

(i)If any Business Employee is employed in a jurisdiction in which there is an Automatic Transfer Law, Buyer and Seller will mutually and reasonably determine whether the Automatic Transfer Law applies to the transfer of the Business Employee from Seller or its Subsidiaries to Buyer or its Designee. Where the Parties determine that an Automatic Transfer Law applies to the transfer of a Business Employee, each Party will, and will cause its Affiliates to, comply with their respective obligations under the Automatic Transfer Law. Seller and its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and Buyer and the Buyers Designees on the other, will provide to the other such cooperation as is reasonably necessary to permit the other to fulfill its obligations under the Automatic Transfer Law. Any Business Employee who transfers to Buyer or Buyer Designee pursuant to an Automatic Transfer Law will, for the avoidance of doubt, be a Transferred Employee.

(j)To the extent to which a Transferred Employee would be in breach of any obligation owed to Seller or one of its Affiliates solely by reason of becoming employed by Buyer or a Buyer Designee (for example, a noncompete obligation), Seller and its Affiliates will waive such obligation.

(k)Nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer or a Buyer Designee to employ any Business Employees, or to employ any Transferred Employee on anything other than an at-will basis, terminable at any time with or without cause, except where prohibited under the local Law of any jurisdiction.

(l)Seller shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to assist Buyer with the transfer of visas or work permits related to the Transferred Employees.

Such purchases shall be made in accordance with the following terms: (1) the aggregate value of the purchase order(s) shall not exceed $50 million; (2) upon the receipt of such wafers (in one or more deliveries), Seller will immediately transfer them to Buyer and submit an invoice to Buyer; (3) Buyer shall pay Seller the amount set forth in the purchase order(s) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of each invoice; (4) pricing will be the price the applicable wafer manufacturing supplier charges Seller - no markup; and (5) to the extent allowed

-51-

Broadcom and Cypress Semiconductor Confidential

pursuant to its agreements with wafer manufacturing suppliers, Seller will pass through warranty, indemnification, and similar protections, or will make claims on behalf of Buyer; provided, however, that Seller shall not assume any liability whatsoever in connection with any such claims or at all in connection with this arrangement.

Leased Equipment

. Promptly after the date hereof, Seller shall provide Buyer with the costs and other terms applicable to the Leased Equipment and Buyer shall decide (in its sole discretion) whether such Leased Equipment will (a) transfer to Buyer or a Buyer Designee as of the Closing Date by Buyer or a Buyer Designee assuming the leases for such equipment, (b) become the property of Buyer or a Buyer Designee as of the Closing Date by Buyer or a Buyer Designee paying for the costs of purchasing such equipment pursuant to the leases (the “Purchased Leased Equipment”), or (c) remain the property of Seller or a Subsidiary as of the Closing Date (the “Excluded Leased Equipment”).

Each Party agrees to inform promptly the other Party of any communication made by or on behalf of such Party to, or received by or on behalf of such Party from, the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other state, foreign or multinational Governmental Body regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) neither Buyer nor Seller (or any Affiliates of Buyer or Seller) shall be required to enter into any agreement that requires Buyer or Seller to dispose of any portion of its businesses, operations, assets or product lines other than the disposition that is contemplated in this Agreement; and (ii) it is expressly understood and agreed that neither Buyer nor Seller (or any Affiliates of Buyer or Seller) shall have any obligation to litigate any judicial or administrative action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer shall be required to agree to any license, sale or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, the IoT Business or the Purchased Assets, or the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of Buyer and its Affiliates to conduct their businesses (including the IoT Business) or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock (including the Purchased Assets).

In addition, Seller and Buyer will prepare a communications plan for business partners of the IoT Business, and agree on a plan to contact any suppliers to, or customers of, the IoT Business in connection with or pertaining to any subject matter of this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements and to facilitate the transition of the IoT Business, including the preparation of letters to all customers, suppliers, distributors and other business partners of the IoT Business to notify them of the Closing and provide information regarding the transition of the IoT Business to Buyer.

(iv)Buyer and Buyer Designees shall have the right to sell existing Inventory and to use existing packaging, labeling, containers, supplies, advertising materials, technical data sheets and any similar materials bearing the Seller Name or any other trademark, design or logo previously or currently used by Seller or any of its Affiliates until the earlier of (A) one year after the Closing Date or (B) the depletion of existing Inventory;

(a)Seller agrees that, as part of the consideration for the payment of the Purchase Price, for a period of thirty-six (36) months immediately following the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, as a principal, stockholder, joint venturer or otherwise, (i) operate, perform or have any ownership interest in any business that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, installs or distributes products in competition with the IoT Business or (ii) except in connection with patent cross-licenses and other patent licenses entered into by Seller or an Affiliate in connection with patent licensing activities, sales of products or settlement of litigation, in each case in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, Seller shall not knowingly grant any license to the Licensed Intellectual Property for the purpose of enabling a third party to compete with the IoT Business, except that Seller may purchase or otherwise acquire by merger, purchase of assets, stock (including investing as a minority shareholder), controlling interest or otherwise any Person or business or engage in any similar merger and acquisition activity with any Person the primary business of which is not in competition with the IoT Business. For the purposes of this Section 5.12(a), ownership of securities of a company whose securities are publicly traded under a recognized securities exchange not in excess of ten percent (10%) of any class of such securities shall not be considered to be competition with the IoT Business, and a Person shall not be considered to be in the “primary business” of competing with the IoT Business if such Person derives less than twenty percent (20%) of its revenues from products that compete with the IoT Business. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the agreements and limitations set forth in this Section 5.12 shall not apply to any entity that acquires all or part of Seller or any of its Affiliates in any transaction or to Seller’s purchase of any microcontroller company.

(b)Seller acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in Section 5.12(a) constitute a material inducement to Buyer’s entering into and performing this Agreement. Seller further acknowledges, stipulates and agrees that a breach of such obligation could result in irreparable harm and continuing damage to Buyer for which there may be no adequate remedy at Law and further agrees that in the event of any breach of said obligation, Buyer may be entitled to injunctive relief and to such other relief as is proper under the circumstances.

(c)If any provision contained in this Section shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 5.12, but this Section 5.12 shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 5.12 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.

(b)For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to own the Purchased Assets, and, therefore be responsible for the expense thereof, as of 12:01 a.m. local time on the day after the Closing Date. All prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the month that shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date and based upon a 365-day year. The amount of the prorations shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available, and the Parties agree to cooperate and use their good faith efforts to make such adjustments.

5.15Financing

(a)Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Financing (including, to the extent required, the full exercise of any flex provisions) at or prior to the Closing, including using its reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (ii) comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letter, (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter or on such other terms and conditions no less favorable in the aggregate to Buyer (as determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion) than the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter, which in no event shall include such other terms or conditions that would adversely impact or delay in any material respect the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Financing, (iv) satisfy, or cause its Representatives to satisfy, on a timely basis, all conditions applicable to Buyer or its Representatives in the Commitment Letter (or definitive agreements entered into with respect to the Commitment Letter), it being understood that Buyer may seek to obtain financing in a private placement of securities pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or in a public offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act in lieu of all or a portion of the Financing (and references to the Financing in this Section 5.15(a) shall be deemed to include such private placement or public offering, as applicable); provided, however, that (1) Buyer shall not release or

-57-

Broadcom and Cypress Semiconductor Confidential

waive the Commitment Letter or the obligations of the arrangers and lenders thereunder and (2) Buyer shall proceed with, and consummate, the financing contemplated in the Commitment Letter in the event that such alternative private placement financing or public offering financing is not available or would delay or hinder the Closing in any material respect, (v) prepare the information memoranda, preliminary and final offering memoranda or prospectuses, registration statements and other materials to be used in connection with obtaining the Financing prior to the anticipated date on which all of the conditions in Section 8.2 have been satisfied, to the extent reasonably practicable, and (vi) in the event that all conditions in the Commitment Letter have been satisfied, cause the lenders and any other Persons providing financing to fund the Financing at the Closing.

(b)Without limiting the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer will not permit any amendment, restatement, substitution, replacement, supplement or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Commitment Letter if such amendment, restatement, substitution, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver would (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing below an amount that is necessary to consummate the purchase of the Purchased Assets, (ii) impose new or additional conditions or other terms to the Financing, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) prevent or impede in any material respect the consummation of the purchase of the Purchased Assets, or (B) make the funding of the Financing, or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing, less likely to occur in any material respect, or (iii) materially adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements with respect thereto, provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may amend the Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof. Buyer shall furnish Seller complete, correct and executed copies of any amendments or modifications to the Commitment Letter. Buyer shall consult with and keep Seller reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. Buyer shall give Seller prompt notice of any breach or written repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter of which Buyer or its Affiliates become aware.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.15(c), the Commitment Letter may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or superseded at the option of Buyer after the date of this Agreement bur prior to the Closing by instruments that either amend, amend and restate, or replace the existing Commitment Letter or contemplate co-investment by or financing from one or more additional parties; provided that the terms of such new or amended commitment letters shall not (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing that is necessary to consummate the purchase of the Purchased Assets, (ii) impose new or additional conditions or other terms to the Financing, or otherwise expand any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing, in a manner

-58-

Broadcom and Cypress Semiconductor Confidential

that would reasonably be expected to (A) prevent or materially impede the consummation of the purchase of the Purchased Assets, or (B) make the funding of the Financing, or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing, less likely to occur in any material respect, or (iii) materially adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties of the Commitment Letter or definitive agreements with respect thereto. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of its intention to make any such amendment or obtain such alternative financing and keep Seller reasonably informed of the terms thereof. Buyer shall deliver to Seller true and correct copies of all new or amended commitment letters (including redacted fee letters in respect of any new or amended commitment letters).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required in connection with the Financing to (i) pay any commitment or other similar fee or enter into any definitive agreement or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Financing (or any alternative financing), (ii) take any action that would conflict with or violate Seller’s or such Affiliate’s organizational documents or any applicable Laws or result in the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of or default under, any Contract to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party, (iii) take any action that would cause any director, officer or employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates to incur any personal liability, or (iv) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Seller or its Affiliates.

(a)Each of Seller and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party hereto, and Affiliates thereof, and any director, officer, employee or agent of such other Party or Affiliates thereof (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, losses, and damages, amounts paid in settlement, interest, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) paid, sustained, incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party to the extent that the Losses arise by reason of, or result from, (i) subject to Section 9.1, any breach of or any failure of any representation or warranty of such Party contained in this Agreement to have been true when made or to be true at and as of the Closing Date; or (ii) to the extent not expressly waived by the other Party in writing, the breach by such Party of any covenant or agreement of such Party contained in this Agreement.

(b)Seller further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and Affiliates thereof, and any director, officer, employee or agent of Buyer or Affiliates thereof (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses paid, sustained, incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (i) the Excluded Liabilities; (ii) Buyer’s waiver of, or noncompliance with, any applicable Bulk Sales Laws and (iii) any claim, demand or liability for Taxes relating to, pertaining to, or arising out of the IoT Business or the Purchased Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(c)Buyer further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Affiliates thereof, and any director, officer, employee or agent of Seller or Affiliates thereof (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses paid, sustained, incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (i) any failure of Buyer to discharge any of the Assumed Liabilities, and (ii) any claim, demand or liability for Taxes relating to, pertaining to, or arising out of the IoT Business or the Purchased Assets for any Post-Closing Tax Period.

(d)Amounts payable in respect of the Parties’ indemnification obligations shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Buyer and Seller on their Returns to the extent permitted by law. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim (as defined below), both Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery

proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith or as provided in Section 5.1.

(e)The amount of the Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Agreement shall be net of any applicable insurance proceeds (net of the costs of recovery thereof and any premium increases resulting therefrom) actually received by the Indemnified Party that actually reduce the overall impact of the Losses upon the Indemnified Party (it being understood, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to seek or procure any such insurance proceeds, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or applicable Law).

(f)The Indemnifying Party’s liability for all claims made under Section 9.2(a) (i) shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for such claims until the aggregate amount of the Losses incurred shall exceed $2,750,000 (the “Threshold Amount”) in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable only for the portion of the indemnifiable Losses exceeding the Threshold Amount and (ii) the Indemnifying Party’s aggregate liability for all such claims shall not exceed $55,000,000 (the “Cap Amount”).

(g)The Indemnified Party may not make a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) after the Expiration Date ; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as such Indemnified Party shall have made an indemnification claim in good faith and with reasonable specificity before the Expiration Date in accordance with this Article 9, then such claim or right to indemnification shall survive indefinitely until such claim has been finally resolved.

(h)The indemnification provided in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Date for damages available to the Parties to this Agreement for breach of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein or any right, claim or action arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but not claims arising under any Collateral Agreement); provided, however, this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a Party from bringing any action (or, in the case of clause (ii), limit the amounts recoverable in any action) for (i) specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement or (ii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(i)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to the proviso of this Section 9.2(h)), no Party shall be liable to the other Party or any other Indemnified Party for any indirect, special, punitive (unless paid to a Third Party), exemplary or consequential loss or damage pursuant to arising out of an indemnification claim made under this Agreement.

(j)Both Parties shall mitigate their damages for which they may seek indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that neither the foregoing nor anything else in this Agreement will be construed to expand or extend a Party’s common law obligation to mitigate damages to the extent required by common law.

-68-

(k)The rights to indemnification under this Section 9.2 shall not be subject to set-off for any claim by the Indemnifying Party against any Indemnified Party, whether or not arising from the same event giving rise to such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.

9.3Third Party Claims

(a)The Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall promptly notify the Party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by any Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”), in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and shall give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense and control the settlement of any such Third Party Claim if and only if (i) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any and all damages, losses and liabilities arising out of such Third Party Claim, (ii) such Third Party Claim involves (and continues to involve) claims solely for money damages and/or involves (and continues to involve) claims for both money damages and equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that cannot be severed, where, in the reasonable good faith opinion of Buyer, the claims for money damages are the primary claims asserted by the Third Party and the claims for equitable relief are incidental to the claims for money damages. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises its right to control the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided above, then the other Party shall cooperate in such defense and make available all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such Party’s possession and control relating thereto as is reasonably required to by the Indemnifying Party conducting the defense.

(b)The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other is defending, as provided in this Agreement.

(c)If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, consent to a settlement of, or consent to the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (i) such settlement or judgment relates solely to monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party has acknowledged and accepted full responsibility to indemnify the Indemnified Party, and (ii) the terms of the settlement include a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and all of its Affiliates in respect of the subject matter of such Third Party Claim and all related claims and damages arising therefrom. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement that (i) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action, or (ii) does not provide for a full and unconditional release by such Third Party of the Indemnified Party.

Indemnification Claim Procedures Generally

. In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such indemnification claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure). Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation thereof, all with reasonable particularity and shall contain a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such a claim shall be incurred. Such notice shall be given as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the basis for each such a claim. The Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice of an indemnified Loss, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2, (i) pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnified Party the amount of such Loss specified in such notice which the Indemnifying Party does not contest, or (ii) notify the Indemnified Party if it wishes to contest the existence or amount of part or all of such a Loss by stating with particularity the basis upon which it contests the existence or amount thereof. If the Indemnifying Party so contests such existence or amount of part or all of such a Loss the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall work in good faith to resolve any dispute in respect of such Loss for a period of thirty (30) days, after which either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party may submit such dispute to any court of competent jurisdiction.

10.Miscellaneous Provisions

Entire Agreement; Modification

. The agreement of the Parties, which consists of this Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents referred to herein, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding, written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement. No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound thereby, and in accordance with Section 11.3.

. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party hereto without the other Party’s written consent; provided that Buyer may transfer or assign in whole or in part to one or more Buyer Designee its right to purchase all or a portion of the Purchased Assets, but no such transfer or assignment will relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of each Party hereto. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any one or more provisions are deemed illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect unless the deletion of such provision shall cause this Agreement to become materially adverse to either Party, in which event the Parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to arrive at an accommodation that best preserves for the Parties the benefits and obligations of the offending provision.

Governing Law

. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state and appellate court within the State of New York (or, if any such court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of New York) in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of New York for such persons and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and covenants not to assert or plead any objection it may

now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any suit, action, proceeding, cross-claim or third party claim of any kind of description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment Letter or any other letter or agreement related to the Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than any State or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES TO CAUSE EACH OF ITS AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING THE FINANCING, OR THE ACTIONS OF A PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF (IN EACH CASE, INCLUDING ANY PROCEEDING THAT INVOLVES THE DEBT FINANCING SOURCES). EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.7.

Except for such press release, neither Seller nor Buyer shall, without the approval of the other, make any press release or other announcement concerning the existence of this Agreement or the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such Party shall be so obligated by Law, in which case the other Party shall be advised and the Parties shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures necessary to comply with accounting, stock exchange or federal securities Law disclosure obligations.

No Third Party Beneficiaries

. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall (a) confer on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors or assigns any rights (including third party beneficiary rights), remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or (b) constitute the Parties hereto as partners or as participants in a joint venture, provided, that (i) the Debt Financing Sources, its Affiliates and their

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, this Agreement shall not provide Third Parties with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to the terms of this Agreement.

11.Termination; Amendment and Waiver

Termination

. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by:

(a)Mutual Consent. The mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;

(b)Failure of Buyer Condition. Buyer upon written notice to Seller if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.2 shall have become incapable of fulfillment by the Termination Date and shall not have been waived in writing by Buyer;

(c)Failure of Seller Condition. Seller upon written notice to Buyer if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment by the Termination Date and shall not have been waived in writing by Seller;

(d)Court or Administrative Order. Buyer or Seller if (i) there shall be in effect a final, non-appealable order of a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) if there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited; or

(e)Delay. Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the date that is four (4) months from the date hereof (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the Party seeking termination pursuant to clause (e) is not then in breach in any material respect of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

-73-

Broadcom and Cypress Semiconductor Confidential

indemnification obligations of Buyer, Article 6 relating to the obligations of Buyer and Seller to keep confidential certain information, Section 10.2 relating to certain expenses, Section 10.9 relating to publicity and this Section 11.2. Nothing in this Section 11.2 shall be deemed to release either Party from any liability for any material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder prior to termination or any fraud.

Amendment and Waiver

. The Agreement may be amended with respect to any provision contained herein at any time prior to the Closing Date by action of the Parties hereto taken by their Boards of Directors or by their duly authorized officers or employees, whether before or after such Party’s action. Any term or condition hereof may be waived and at any time prior to the Closing Date by the Party hereto which is entitled to the benefits thereof by action taken by its Board of Directors or its duly authorized officer or employee, whether before or after the action of such Party. Any such amendment or waiver shall be evidenced by a written instrument duly executed on behalf of each Party by its duly authorized officer or employee. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision nor shall it in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amendment or modification of Section 5.15(f), Section 10.5, Section 10.6(b), Section 10.7, Section 10.10, or this Section 11.3 that is materially adverse to the Debt Financing Sources under the financing commitments shall not be made without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Sources.
