As of and from the Closing Date, Seller will promptly arrange for the transfer of title to Purchaser of each of the Nonassignable Assets, as soon as possible by, among other steps, paying in full all amounts due under any Contracts to which any of the Nonassignable Assets is subject. Until title to all of the Nonassignable Assets are transferred to Purchaser, Seller authorizes Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of the applicable Nonassignable Asset(s), at Purchaser’s option and expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Seller under the applicable Nonassignable Asset(s) and appoints Purchaser as its attorney-in-fact to act in its name on its behalf with respect to such Nonassignable Assets.

Taxation Code Section 6012(c)(10) and at least $1,000,000 (the “Minimum Amount”) shall be specifically allocated to the purchase and sale of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Lara (the “Outstanding Lara Shares”) (unless Purchaser determines that a lesser amount should be allocated to the Outstanding Lara Shares, in which case Seller, in it sole discretion, shall either (i) allocate the amount to the Outstanding Lara Shares that Purchaser has so determined or (ii) pay to Purchaser in cash within thirty (30) days following notice thereof the present value of the incremental Tax cost to Purchaser, if any, resulting from the allocation of the Minimum Amount to the Outstanding Lara Shares (as calculated using a 6% discount rate and assuming an effective tax rate for Purchaser of 40%) rather than the amount determined by Purchaser); provided further that, in the event Seller and Purchaser are unable to mutually agree upon a Purchase Price allocation prior to the Closing, Purchaser’s proposed allocation of the Purchase Price shall be conclusive and shall constitute the allocation for purposes of Section 5.6(b) (provided that in such case Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any Transfer Taxes for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 2.9 in excess of $100,000).

The obligations of Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Acquired Assets and perform its obligations at the Closing are subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing, of all the conditions set forth in this Section 7.1. Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied each of such conditions. Purchaser may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part without prior notice. No such waiver of a condition shall, however, constitute a waiver by Purchaser of any of its other rights or remedies, at law or in equity, if Seller shall breach or be in default under any of its representations, warranties or covenants made under or pursuant to this Agreement.

(a) Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made pursuant to Article 3 shall have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement, and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date as though made as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations or warranties specify an earlier date), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true or correct (without giving effect to any materiality qualifications contained in the text of such representation or warranty) would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on either (i) the Acquired Assets, taken as a whole, or (ii) in the case of the 70K, 10K or Sahasra Acquired Product lines, each considered as a separate product line, the use, manufacture or sale of such product line by or for Purchaser after the Closing Date.

(c) Certification. Purchaser shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, signed by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Seller certifying that the conditions specified in Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) have been fulfilled. Such certificate shall constitute a representation and warranty of Seller under this Agreement.

(d) Consents to Assignment. All consents, approvals and waivers listed on Schedule 7.1(d) shall have been obtained by Seller and its Subsidiaries and delivered to Purchaser, and none of such consents, approvals or waivers shall be conditioned upon the giving of any consideration by Purchaser or any material change in the terms of any Assigned Contracts.

(e) Litigation. There shall be no (i) non-frivolous litigation, arbitration or proceeding pending (x) for the purpose of enjoining or preventing the consummation of this Agreement or claiming that the consummation of this Agreement is illegal or improper or (y) which alleges or claims infringement, misuse or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights of any Person by any Acquired Assets, or (ii) litigation, arbitration or proceeding pending which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the right of Purchaser to own, enjoy, exploit or derive benefits from the Acquired Assets or conduct the Acquired Business, if and when the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, in the manner currently owned, enjoyed, exploited, derived or conducted.

(f) Governmental Action and Approvals. Purchaser shall have been furnished with evidence satisfactory to it of the timely consent or approval of, filing with or notice to, and the expiration of the waiting periods (including, without limitation, under the HSR Act) imposed by, each Governmental Body that is required in connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or Purchaser’s ownership or operation of the Business. There shall not be pending or threatened any action or proceeding (or investigation or other inquiry that might result in such action or proceeding) by any Governmental Body, nor shall there be in effect any judgment, decree or order of any Governmental Body, in either case, seeking to prohibit or limit Purchaser from exercising all material rights and privileges pertaining to its ownership or use of the Acquired Assets or its ownership or operation of the Acquired Business, or seeking to compel Purchaser to dispose of or hold separate all or any material portion of the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Business following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) Instruments of Transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser shall have received instruments of transfer or conveyance (including, without limitation, xxxx of sale and assignments of intellectual property), each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and signed by Seller, as Purchaser may reasonably request or as may be otherwise necessary to evidence and effect the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Acquired Assets to Purchaser and to put Purchaser in actual possession or control of the Acquired Assets at such time as Seller has received payment of the Purchase Price as contemplated by Section 2.7(a).

(h) Additional Agreements. Purchaser shall have received each of the following agreements, each signed by Seller:

(i) License Agreement, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B;

(ii) Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which Seller shall provide to Purchaser for a transition period certain engineering services, in such form as reasonably agreed upon by the parties (the “Transition Services Agreement”); and

Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied each of such conditions. Seller may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part without prior notice.

(a) Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made pursuant to Article 4 shall have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement,

and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date as though made as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations or warranties specify an earlier date), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true or correct (without regard to any materiality qualifications contained therein) is not reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Purchaser.

8. Indemnification; Infringement

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties

The representations and warranties of Purchaser and Seller contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for 18 months after the Closing Date, except for (a) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.10, which shall survive for three years after the Closing Date, and (b)

the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.21, which shall survive indefinitely. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to any such representations or warranties after the pending period for such representation or warranty expires, except for claims then pending or previously asserted in writing by any party in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.2 General Agreement to Indemnify

(a) Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party to this Agreement and each other 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, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party to the extent that the Losses arise by reason of, or result from, in whole or in part, (i) the failure of any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement to have been true in all material respects when made and as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement or (ii) the material breach by such party of any covenant of such party contained in this Agreement to the extent not waived by the other party.

(b) Seller further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and the other Indemnified Parties of Purchaser from and against any Losses incurred by Purchaser or such Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to:

(i) the Excluded Liabilities;

(ii) all termination, salary continuation or severance pay, benefits or any other liabilities payable by Seller and its Subsidiaries to any Business Employee by reason of such Business Employee’s termination of employment by Seller and its Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by Section 5.3(b));

(iii) all liability arising out of the operation of the Acquired Business by Seller and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date;

(iv) all Losses to Lara, including its successors, or to Purchaser arising out of or relating to Purchaser’s acquisition or ownership of Lara, whenever arising, including, without limitation, any actual additional Tax liability incurred or suffered by Purchaser as a result of Purchaser’s acquisition or ownership of Lara (but only to the extent that such Losses would not have been incurred or suffered by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates had Purchaser purchased the Acquired Assets (other than the capital stock of Lara)); and

(v) all claims of Third Parties against Purchaser arising out of either (i) any litigation identified on Schedule 3.7(a) or (ii) unless documentation has been furnished that provides conclusive evidence, as mutually determined by the parties, that Purchaser has acquired ownership of such Intellectual Property Assets, Seller’s failure to deliver record title and ownership of the Intellectual Property Assets identified on Schedule 8.2(b)(v), free of Encumbrances.

(c) Purchaser further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and the other Indemnified Parties of Seller from and against any Losses incurred by Seller or such Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to:

(i) the Assumed Liabilities; and

(ii) all liability arising out of Purchaser’s operation of the Acquired Business after the Closing (for which liability Seller is not obligated to indemnify Purchaser under this Agreement).

(d) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim or Infringement Claim, both parties to this Agreement shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim 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 parties’ indemnity obligations under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date.

(f) For all purposes of this Agreement, any Losses of an Indemnified Party shall be net of (i) any insurance proceeds or other recoveries payable to the Indemnified Party or its affiliates in connection with, or otherwise attributable to, such Losses, and (ii) any Tax benefit realized by such Indemnified Party or its affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses (including, without limitation, the value of any Tax benefit arising in subsequent taxable years).

8.3 General Procedures for Indemnification

(a) The Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by any Third Party or other matter in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement and will give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect to such claim, action, suit, proceeding or matter as the Indemnified Party has or the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability under this Agreement (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice by such failure). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by a Third Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), to assume the defense and control the settlement of such Third-Party Claim.

(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) The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such settlement or judgment relates

solely to monetary damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 complete release with respect to such Third-Party Claim by such Third Party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim involving damages for which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 8.3 with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party fails to provide the Indemnified Party written notice that the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of a Third-Party claim or otherwise fails to vigorously prosecute the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be promptly paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall assume the defense of any claims or demands with respect to Straddle Period Taxes and any Tax claims made against the Acquired Assets attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) commencing prior to the Closing Date (“Tax Claims”). Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such Tax Claims at its own expense. Seller shall have the right to settle any Tax Claims, provided that such settlement does not adversely impact the Tax liability of Purchaser with respect to the Acquired Assets for periods (or portions thereof) commencing on or after the Closing Date.

(f) In the event of an intellectual property infringement claim subject to this Section 8.3, Seller and Purchaser will negotiate in good faith an appropriate joint defense agreement, and, pursuant to such agreement, each party shall provide the other with access to any infringement opinions or related documents concerning the subject matter of such claim.

8.4 [Reserved]

8.5 Right of Set-Off. In order to satisfy any indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to this Article 8, Purchaser (and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and other Affiliates) shall have the right to recover Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser by setting off the amount of any such Losses against any Purchase Price (whether payable in cash or Shares) otherwise due to Seller pursuant to Section 2.7(b). Solely for purposes of applying this Section 8.5, the amount of any such set-offs shall be determined as follows:

(a) if such set-off is against the Cash Payment, Purchaser may set-off on a dollar-for-dollar basis the aggregate amount of such Losses (to the extent not previously recovered by Purchaser); and

(b) if such set-off is against Shares issued pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iii) or 2.7(b)(iv), Purchaser may withhold and not issue to Seller that number of Shares equal to the aggregate amount of such Losses (to the extent not previously recovered by Purchaser) divided by the Bonus Price, rounded up to the nearest whole share.

In the case of Third Party Claims brought but not resolved prior to the date that the Cash Payment or such additional Shares is to be paid or issued, Purchaser will have the right to set-off and withhold the total amount of any reserve or write-off recorded by Purchaser with respect to any Losses, which reserve or write-off has been reviewed and accepted by Purchaser’s firm of registered independent public accountants and included in a report which includes financial statements of Purchaser filed or to be filed by Purchaser with the SEC. Any such set-offs by Purchaser shall represent a reduction of the Purchase Price to the extent ultimately determined to be Losses. The parties agree that to the greatest extent possible, the payment of any indemnity in accordance with this Section 8.5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser under this Agreement for Tax purposes.

8.6 Dispute Resolution

(a) Prior to taking any formal legal action against each other, the parties shall first in good faith consult among appropriate officers of Purchaser and Seller, which consultation shall begin promptly after one party has delivered to the other a written request for consultation. At any time thereafter, either party may request in writing that the dispute be referred to appropriate senior executives of Purchaser and Seller. Within 10 Business Days after such request, the senior executives (and not their designees) shall meet as frequently as necessary, but in no event less than once a week, and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If such senior executives cannot resolve the dispute, the Chief Executive Officers (and not their designees) shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the dispute, claim or controversy cannot be settled or resolved amicably between the parties, then either party may pursue any remedies available to it, whether at law or equity.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.6, in the event of alleged violation or breach of this Agreement by a party (including, without limitation, unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information), the other party may seek temporary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. In no event shall any such temporary injunctive relief continue for more than 30 days.

(c) If any part of this Section 8.6 is held to be unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect any other part of this Section 8.6.

8.7 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations

(a) Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses incurred by Purchaser or other Indemnified Parties of the Purchaser under Section 8.2 until the Losses for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement exceed $150,000 in the aggregate, in which case, upon exceeding such threshold amount, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover all such Losses (including such initial threshold amount). Except as expressly provided in the next sentence of this Section 8.7(a), notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller’s liability for Losses under Section 8.2(a) exceed, in the aggregate, $16,666,666.67; in no event shall Seller’s liability for Losses under Section 8.2(b) (other than Sections 8.2(b)(iv) and (b)(v)) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price; and in no event shall Purchaser’s liability for Losses under Section 8.2(c) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price. The provisions of this Section 8.7(a) shall not apply to either party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement arising out of, relating to or resulting from fraud by such party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of an Indemnifying Party’s liability pursuant to this Section 8 shall be net of any insurance proceeds or other third party indemnity or contribution amounts actually recovered by an Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such insurance proceeds or other third party indemnity or contribution amounts recoverable by such Indemnified Party, and in the event any such amounts are collected after a claim for Losses has been paid by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse such amounts to such Indemnifying Party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to an Indemnified Party for any indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage (including any loss of opportunity or loss of value, revenue or profit) arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by an Indemnified Party in respect of any such Losses either (i) directly incurred as a result of a Third Party Claim or (ii) relating to or in connection with any Losses for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(iv) or 8.2(b)(v).

8.8 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing Date, except in the case of fraud, the indemnification provided in this Section 8 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, representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, or any right, claim or action arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the parties may seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent a breach of, or specific performance to enforce specifically the provisions of, any covenant contained in this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) by Purchaser if Seller shall have breached any of its representations or warranties, or failed to perform or otherwise breached any of its covenants or other agreements, contained in this Agreement which breach or failure to perform would cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) to not be satisfied and is not cured or performed within 30 days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s written notice of such breach or failure;

(d) by Seller if Purchaser shall have breached any of its representations or warranties, or failed to perform or otherwise breached any of its covenants or other agreements, contained in this Agreement which breach or failure to perform would cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) to not be satisfied and is not cured or performed within 30 days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written notice of such breach or failure; or

(e) by either Purchaser or Seller if (i) the parties have received a formal request for additional information or documentary material pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.20 under the HSR Act, or the competition law of any other jurisdiction and (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before the date that is 150 days after the date of this Agreement; provided that a party to this Agreement may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) if the failure to close results primarily from such party’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such party contained in this Agreement;

(f) by either Purchaser or Seller if (i) the parties have not received a formal request for additional information or documentary material pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.20 under the HSR Act, or the competition law of any other jurisdiction and (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before the date that is 90 days after the date of this Agreement; provided that a party to this Agreement may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) if the failure to close results primarily from such party’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such party contained in this Agreement; or

(a) A reasonable time prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related correspondence, (i) furnish to Stockholder and its counsel copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference to the extent requested by Stockholder), and (ii) cause its officers and counsel to respond to such inquiries and discuss such documents and make such changes with respect to the description of Stockholder and the proposed plan of distribution as Stockholder shall reasonably request and as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act;

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities (including an additional Registration Statement, if necessary, with respect to any additional Shares issued after the Closing Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which Registration Statement shall be filed with 15 days of the delivery of such additional Shares); (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, upon request, provide Stockholder true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and other applicable laws with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by Stockholder thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented;

(c) Notify Stockholder as promptly as reasonably possible: (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of the Registration Statement and whenever the SEC comments in writing on the Registration Statement (the Company shall promptly provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to Stockholder), and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state Governmental Body during the Effectiveness Period of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the

issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state Governmental Body of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; and (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose;

(d) Notify Stockholder as promptly as reasonably possible when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus and any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act and, in either case as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC an amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance;

(e) Use reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment;

(f) Furnish to Stockholder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC;

(g) Promptly deliver to Stockholder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as Stockholder may reasonably request in connection with resales by Stockholder of Registrable Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by Stockholder in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 4(c);

(h) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by Stockholder, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify and cooperate with Stockholder in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by Stockholder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as Stockholder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(i) Cooperate with Stockholder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the

Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and applicable securities laws, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any Stockholder may request;

(j) If (i) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the happening of an event that renders it advisable to suspend use of the Prospectus, because use of the Prospectus would (1) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (2) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (3) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the Board of Directors of the Company concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend use of the Prospectus at such time, and (ii) the Company shall promptly furnish to such Stockholders a certificate signed by the President and General Counsel, if any, of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company for the Prospectus to be used and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of the Company to suspend use of the Prospectus (which certificate will not disclose the content of any material non-public information and will indicate the date of the beginning and end of the intended suspension, if known), then the Company shall have the right to suspend use of the prospectus for not greater than thirty (30) consecutive days and not more than twice in any twelve (12) month period of time, in which case each Stockholder shall discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement or Prospectus until copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus are distributed to Stockholder or until receipt by Stockholder of the Advice contemplated in Section 8(c). The suspension and certificate thereof described in this Section 4(j) shall be held in strictest confidence and not disclosed by the Stockholders;

(k) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, each securities exchange on which securities issued by the Company are then listed and other applicable laws, rules and regulations;

(l) Cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and

(m) Require Stockholder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Stockholder and to identify the Person(s) having voting and/or dispositive control over such shares.

5. Registration Expenses.

In no event shall the Company be responsible for any taxes, broker or similar commissions or any legal fees or other costs of Stockholder.

6. Reports to Stockholder Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available to Stockholder the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Stockholder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, so long as the Company remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

(b) Take such action as is necessary to enable Stockholder to utilize Form S-3 for the resale of its Registrable Securities;

(c) File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

7. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Stockholder, its officers, directors, agents and employees, each Person who controls Stockholder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such Loss arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statements or omissions based upon information regarding Stockholder furnished in writing to the Company by Stockholder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to Stockholder or Stockholder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing

by Stockholder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Sections 4(c)(ii) through 4(c)(iv) and 4(j), the use by Stockholder of an outdated, defective or suspended Prospectus after the Company has notified Stockholder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or suspended and prior to the receipt by Stockholder of the Advice contemplated in Section 8(c).

(b) Indemnification by Stockholder. Stockholder shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (i) Stockholder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Loss arises out of or is based upon (x) any untrue statements or omissions based upon information regarding Stockholder furnished in writing to the Company by Stockholder expressly for use therein or to the extent that such information relates to Stockholder or Stockholder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by Stockholder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Sections 4(c)(ii) through 4(c)(iv) or 4(j), the use by Stockholder of an outdated, defective or suspended Prospectus after the Company has notified Stockholder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or suspended and prior to the receipt by Stockholder of the Advice contemplated in Section 8(c). In no event shall the liability of Stockholder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Stockholder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation, except in the case of fraud by Stockholder.

(c) Procedure.

(i) Each Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim and any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party who conducts the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7 unless and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel to conduct the defense of any such claim or litigation, and shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in defense of such claim or litigation, in the event that the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such claim or litigation within 60 days after the Indemnifying Party receives notice thereof from the Indemnified Party. Further, any Indemnifying Party shall be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or obligation only if the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such settlement

(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall (except with the consent of each Indemnified Party) consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d) Contribution.

(i) If a claim for indemnification under Section 7(a) or 7(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

(ii) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d)(i). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), Stockholder shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by Stockholder from the sale of the Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case of fraud by Stockholder.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by Stockholder of any of their obligations under this Agreement, Stockholder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and Stockholder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(b) Compliance. Stockholder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c) Discontinued Disposition. Stockholder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of written notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 4(c)(iii), 4(c)(iv) or 4(d), then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing signed by the President and General Counsel, if any, of the Company to Stockholder (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing (which notice will not disclose the content of any material non-public information and will indicate the date of the beginning and end of the intended suspension, if known), then the Company shall have the right to suspend use of the Prospectus and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, Stockholder will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until Stockholder’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus (the “Advice”); provided that in the event of any such Suspension, the Company will as promptly as reasonably practicable cause the use of the prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as possible and, if necessary, prepare and file with the SEC an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus to correct any such untrue statement of material fact or omission. The Suspension and Suspension Notice described in this Section 8(c) shall be held in strictest confidence and not disclosed by Stockholder. The Company agrees that, in the event of any Suspension under this Section 8(c), if Stockholder is not then able to sell all of its remaining Shares pursuant to Rule 144 within a ninety (90) day period, the Company shall, prior to the expiration of the applicable suspension period, update the suspended Registration Statement as may be necessary to permit Stockholder to resume use thereof in connection with the offer and sale of their Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law.

(d) Additional Provisions. Sales of the Shares are subject to the provisions of Section 5.11(b) of the Purchase Agreement. The provisions of Section 8.5 of the Purchase Agreement and Article 10 of the Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement, and shall apply to the Company and Stockholder as if set forth in this Agreement in their entirety.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Registration Rights Agreement as of the date first written above.

Pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Agreement, this Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement (this “First Amendment”) is entered into effective as of February 15, 2006 by and between the Seller and Purchaser. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

RECITALS

A. The Seller and Purchaser entered into the Agreement on January 25, 2006.

B. The Seller and Purchaser desire to amend the Agreement in the manner set forth below.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the parties intending to be legally bound do hereby agree as follows:

1. The definition of Gross Revenue contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Gross Revenue” means total gross revenue of Purchaser from the sale of any Acquired Products, or the licensing of any Intellectual Property Assets, to Third Parties and recognized by Purchaser in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (after giving effect to any reductions for any discount, return, credit, exchange or other adjustment, provided that, in the aggregate, such reductions shall not exceed 1% of such total gross revenue, subject to the last proviso below), in connection with the preparation of Purchaser’s financial statements for public reporting purposes, including any such revenue from the sale, after the Closing, of any of Purchaser’s other products (other than Purchaser’s products that exist, or are being developed as of, the Closing) having the same function as and replacing, or which could function as a replacement for, an Acquired Product without any material design modification to the customer application of such Acquired Product; provided, however, Purchaser will recognize gross revenue from sales of Acquired Products through Seller’s distributors (regardless of whether the distributors take legal title to the Acquired Products) only on a sell-through basis, i.e., when the distributors have sold units of the Acquired Products to end customers as represented on the distributors’ “point of shipment” or similar reports (accordingly, Purchaser will not recognize gross revenue when the units of the Acquired Products are merely sold to the distributors); provided, further, in no event shall “Gross Revenue” include revenue from products returned to Purchaser as a result of a failure or defect in the quality or functionality (based upon customer specifications) of such products.

2. The definition of Other Transaction Documents contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Other Transaction Documents” means the License Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement and the instruments of transfer or conveyance contemplated by and delivered at the Closing pursuant to Section 7.1(h) or 7.2(h).

3. The definition of Net Working Capital contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted, and the definition of Net Inventory is hereby added:

“Net Inventory” means net Inventory (reduced by related inventory reserves but excluding any Distributor Inventory) as of the Closing Date to be provided by Seller pursuant to Section 5.16.

4. The definition of Accounts Payable contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted.

5. The definition of Accounts Receivable contained in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted.

(e) [Reserved]

8. Section 2.2(e) of the Agreement is hereby added to read as follows:

(e) all uncollected trade accounts receivable and miscellaneous receivables from the sale or other disposition of any Acquired Products or Inventory and the license or other disposition of any intellectual property related to the Acquired Assets, whether billed or unbilled.

For purposes of this Section 2.7(b)(iii), “Bonus Payment” means an amount equal to (A) $10,000,000, multiplied by (B) the excess of the amount of recognized Gross Revenue, if any, over $17,820,000, which difference shall be divided by $1,620,000; or

5.16 Updated Information. Within three Business Days following the Closing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser an updated Schedule 3.14 (Inventory) reflecting such information as of the Closing Date and the valuation of Inventory as of the Closing Date. If and to the extent that Net Inventory is less than $2,100,000, Seller shall provide Purchaser with cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of the updated Schedule 3.14 (Inventory), in an amount equal to the difference between $2,100,000 minus Net Inventory.

16. Section 5.18 of the Agreement shall be added to read as follows:

Section 5.18 Wafer Purchase Agreement.
