WHEREAS the parties now wish to modify and expand their relationship, and they have thus set forth
the terms of their expanded relationship within this Agreement below, with the intent and desire

| Exhibit 10.16 | |
| 3. PRICING |
| 3.1 | Distributor’s Prices. Subject to adjustments described herein, Distributor’s prices for Products shall be based upon a percentage of the U.S. Suggested List Price attached hereto as Exhibit A. Castelle prices
to Distributor shall not be greater than Castelle’s prices to any other U.K. Distributor for
the term of this Agreement. All prices are stated in U.S. dollars, F.O.B. Castelle, Morgan Hill,
California, U.S.A. | |
| 3.2 | Minimum Purchase Commitment. The Minimum Purchase Commitment, set forth in Exhibit C, shall be the total purchase price, net of taxes, duties, transportation and other charges, which Distributor
has committed to purchase in each Time Period and under the parameters as set forth and defined in
Exhibit C of this Agreement. Castelle reserves the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice,
based upon its review and valuation of the market, the Territory and the results achieved, to review
and adjust the Minimum Purchase Commitment for the Time Period following the current fiscal quarter.
In the event Distributor fails to meet the Minimum Purchase Commitment for any Time Period and/or
the total annual commitment, Castelle may, at its sole option and without notice, either (i) upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice, increase the base price to Distributor or (ii) terminate this
Agreement. | |
| 3.3 | Price Adjustments. Castelle may change its prices set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto at any time, provided that no such price increase shall be effective until thirty (30) days after notice by Castelle to Distributor of such change. Price decreases may be effective immediately on the date of notification by Castelle. Price increases will not be applied to Product that does not ship within the thirty (30) day notice period as a result of any delays caused by Castelle. In addition, Castelle reserves the right to adjust Distributor’s prices in the event that Distributor fails to meet the Minimum Purchase Commitments set forth in Exhibit C. All price adjustments shall apply to Products ordered, but not shipped, after the effective date of such change. |
|
| 3.4 | Price Protection. In the event Castelle should lower its Product prices to Distributor, Castelle will grant Distributor a price protection credit to be applied against future orders equal to Distributor’s net unit price difference between the higher and lower price on all new, unsold eligible Products in Distributor’s inventory that Castelle has shipped to Distributor within ninety (90) days before the effective date of the price reduction. |
|
| 3.5 | Product List Price in Distributor’s Territory. Castelle and Distributor agree that it is in both parties best interests that the End User prices for the Products quoted by the Distributor, or offered to or by Distributor’s Resellers, in the Territory be competitive to motivate and promote purchases by end users of Castelle Products. Castelle has provided Distributor with Castelle’s U.S. Suggested List Price for Castelle Products in Exhibit A. Distributor shall exercise its best efforts to quote and promote Castelle’s Suggested List Price in the currency of the Territory for sales to End Users.
