3. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, (a) ADI desires to, and desires to cause each other Seller to, assign to Buyer the Assumed Liabilities and (b) Buyer desires to assume the Assumed Liabilities from Sellers;

4. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer and certain of the Sellers are executing and entering into the License Agreement, which will become effective at the Closing and in accordance with its terms; and

5. Although the Parties expect to enter into such ancillary agreements and instruments of conveyance and assumption as may be required under applicable law or otherwise desirable in order to fully consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, the Parties have entered into this Agreement as the master and primary agreement governing the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

ASSET PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Acquired Assets; Assumption of Assumed Liabilities.

(a) Purchase and Sale of Acquired Assets. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, each Seller shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from each Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following specifically identified assets (the “Acquired Assets”):

(i) all computers, equipment, furniture, furnishings, machinery, tools and other tangible personal property listed on Schedule 1.1(a)(i) (collectively, the “Designated Equipment”) and all warranties and guarantees, if any, express or implied, existing for the benefit of such Seller in connection with the Designated Equipment to the extent transferable;

(ii) (A) all finished goods inventory of Acquired Products and (B) all inventory of promotional materials related exclusively to the Acquired Products, in each case (A) and (B) to which any Seller has title (including finished goods inventories in transit) as of the Closing (collectively, the “Inventory”);

(iii) (A) all files, documents, books and records that are in the possession of the Sellers and exclusively relate to and are used exclusively in the operation of the Acquired Assets, and (B) copies of the portions of all other such types of files, documents, books and records to the extent related to the operation of the Acquired Assets that are in the possession of the Sellers, are used in the operation of the Acquired Assets and are useful for the operation of the Acquired Assets after the Closing (collectively, the “Acquired Books and Records”); provided that ADI shall be entitled to remove or redact any information that does not relate to the operation of the Acquired Assets from such items; provided, further, that Acquired Books and Records shall not include (1) privileged materials, (2) personnel records, health related files or any records that are prohibited from being transferred to Buyer pursuant to applicable data privacy laws, (3) invoices or purchase orders or (4) any corporate or accounting ledgers, minutes or similar organizational materials or Tax Returns of each Seller, except in the case of clause (3), to the extent that such materials are useful for the operation of the Acquired Assets after the Closing or necessary for Buyer to comply with applicable law, ADI shall provide or cause to be provided to Buyer reasonable access to any such files, documents, books and records, from which ADI shall be entitled to remove or redact any information that does not relate to the operation of the Acquired Assets. With respect to the files, documents, books and records referred to in clauses (A) and (B) above, ADI may retain a copy of such files, documents, books and records and use the same for any purpose solely in connection with the Excluded Liabilities and otherwise in connection with activities required or contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements or other agreements between the parties;

(iv) sales or promotional literature, catalogues and other marketing materials used exclusively in the design, manufacture and sales of the Acquired Products, in each case in existence as of the Closing;

(v) the contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(a)(v) (collectively, the “Designated Contracts”);

(vi) the patents, patent registrations and patent applications listed on Schedule 1.1(a)(vi) (the “Designated Patents”); and

(b) Excluded Assets. It is expressly understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Acquired Assets shall not include any Seller’s right, title or interest in or to any assets that are not specifically identified in Section 1.1(a) (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”). For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation of the foregoing, the Excluded Assets shall include the assets identified on Schedule 1.1(b).

(c) Assumed Liabilities. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to each Seller the undertaking (the “Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which Buyer, as of the Closing, shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge the following liabilities and obligations of each Seller (the “Assumed Liabilities”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.1(c) shall limit ADI’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 6.1 or liabilities with respect to a breach of any Ancillary Agreement:

(i) all obligations and liabilities which arise out of Buyer’s use of the Acquired Assets and/or manufacture or sale by Buyer of any Acquired Products after the Closing;

(ii) all obligations and liabilities under or arising out of the Designated Contracts to the extent arising out of or relating to the period after the Closing;

(iii) all obligations and liabilities in respect of employee benefits to the extent such obligations and liabilities are the responsibility of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3;

(iv) all obligations and liabilities with respect to all actions, suits, proceedings, disputes, claims or investigations to the extent arising out of or relating to (x) the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Products and (y) events, facts, circumstances, changes or conditions occurring or arising out of the Buyer’s ownership, use, manufacture or sale of the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Products after the Closing;

(v) all obligations and liabilities arising out of or relating to the repair, rework, replacement or return of, or any claim for breach of warranty in respect of, Acquired Products manufactured or sold after the Closing; and

(vi) all obligations and liabilities arising out of or relating to any product liability claim (including any such claim arising out of or relating to injury to or death of persons), damage to or destruction of property or any worker’s compensation claim, in each case to the extent relating to Acquired Products manufactured or sold after the Closing.

(d) Excluded Liabilities. It is expressly understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not assume or be responsible for paying, performing or discharging any obligations or liabilities of Sellers that are not Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”).

(e) Buyer’s Acquired Assets. Buyer will determine which Acquired Assets are to be purchased by each of US Buyer, Foreign Buyer or one or more of their directly or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.

1.2 Purchase Price and Related Matters.

(a) Purchase Price. Regardless of whether the transfer of any Acquired Asset has been deferred pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.4, in consideration for the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer shall (i) at the Closing, assume the Assumed Liabilities as provided in Section 1.1(c) and pay to Sellers in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, U.S. $100,000,000.00 (the “Closing Purchase Price”) and (ii) after the Closing, pay to Sellers the Earnout Amount, to the extent payable in accordance with Section 1.5. As used in this Agreement, “Purchase Price” means, as of any time, the Closing Purchase Price, together with any Earnout Amount that is actually received by Sellers prior to such time. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among Sellers as set forth on Schedule 1.2(a).

(b) Allocation. Within 90 days after the Closing Date, ADI shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Closing Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Acquired Assets transferred by each Seller as of the Closing Date and the covenants in Sections 9.6 and 9.7 in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If Buyer notifies ADI in writing within 30 days after delivery of such Allocation Schedule that Buyer objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, ADI and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute regarding the preparation of the Allocation Schedule. If Buyer and ADI are unable to resolve any such dispute within 30 days following Buyer’s delivery of its objection, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by

Buyer and ADI. The Parties recognize that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities do not include Buyer’s acquisition expenses and that Buyer will allocate such expenses appropriately. Buyer and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) consistent with the Allocation Schedule finally resolved pursuant to this Section 1.2(b). Neither Buyer nor Sellers shall take any Tax position inconsistent with such Allocation Schedule, except to the extent otherwise required by law. If the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to this Agreement (including by operation of Section 1.5), the Allocation Schedule shall be adjusted as appropriate and Buyer and ADI shall cooperate in making any such adjustments.

1.3 The Closing.

(a) Time and Location. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP in Boston, Massachusetts, commencing at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the third (3^rd) Business Day after the first date on which the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (excluding the delivery of any documents to be delivered at the Closing by either of the Parties and other than satisfaction of those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, it being understood that the occurrence of the Closing shall remain subject to the delivery of such documents and the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) have been satisfied or waived (the “Closing Date”). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Business Day” shall be any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which banking institutions located in Boston, Massachusetts are permitted or required by law, executive order or governmental decree to remain closed.

(b) Actions at the Closing.

At the Closing:

(i) ADI shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Buyer the various certificates, instruments and documents required to be delivered under Section 5.1;

(ii) Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Sellers the various certificates, instruments and documents required to be delivered under Section 5.2;

(iii) ADI shall deliver to Buyer the Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement and deliver (or cause to be delivered) all tangible Acquired Assets (including all physical embodiments of all intangible Acquired Assets in the possession of any Seller) to Buyer or as otherwise instructed by Buyer, except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement;

(iv) ADI shall deliver to Buyer a Patent Assignment in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B executed by each Seller that owns any Designated Patents (the “Patent Assignment”);

(v) The License Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “License Agreement”) shall become effective in accordance with its terms;

(vi) Buyer and ADI shall execute and deliver to each other a Transition Services Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Transition Services Agreement” and, collectively with the Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Patent Assignment and the License Agreement, the “Ancillary Agreements”), with Service Schedules (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) to be negotiated by the Parties in good faith prior to the Closing;

(vii) Buyer shall pay to Sellers the Closing Purchase Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by ADI; and

(viii) the Parties shall execute and deliver to each other a cross-receipt evidencing the transactions referred to above.

1.4 Consents to Assignment. ADI shall, and shall cause the Sellers to, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to, or obtain from, the applicable third party, prior to the Closing, all notices, consents, waivers and approvals identified in Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule; provided that no Seller shall be required to make any payments or agree to any undertaking in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing obligations, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer (or an assignment or transfer of) any asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto or of the issuing Governmental Entity, as the case may be, would constitute a breach thereof or default thereunder, would result in a violation of the rights of any such third party, would be ineffective, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of any Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) or Buyer thereunder and such consent is not obtained at or prior to the Closing (a “Deferred Consent”). With respect to each Deferred Consent, (a) the asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit to which such Deferred Consent relates (a “Deferred Item”) shall not be assigned or transferred to Buyer at Closing, without any reduction in the Purchase Price, until the requisite consent is obtained, upon which ADI will, or will cause the applicable Seller to promptly assign or transfer such Deferred Item to Buyer, (b) from and after the Closing, Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, with the applicable Seller to obtain such Deferred Consent as soon as practicable after the Closing, provided that no Seller shall be required to make any payments or agree to any material undertakings in connection therewith, and (c) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate, in all reasonable respects, in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement proposed by Buyer under which (i) Buyer would obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of any third party) the economic claims, rights and benefits and (ii) solely if Buyer obtains such economic claims, rights and benefits described in (i), Buyer would assume any related economic burden (including Taxes) with respect to the Deferred Item. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” shall have the meaning assigned to it in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

1.5 Earnout Matters.

(a) As further consideration for the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount (the “Earnout Amount”) that is equal to fourteen-fifteenths (14/15) of the amount by which the Earnout Product Revenue for the period from the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”) exceeds U.S. $75,000,000.00 (provided, however, that in no event shall the Earnout Amount pursuant to this Section 1.5(a) exceed U.S. $70,000,000.00 (the “Maximum Earnout Amount”)) within twenty (20) Business Days after the end of the Earnout Period. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Earnout Product Revenue” means the aggregate revenues recognized during the Earnout Period by all Earnout Product Selling Persons from the sale, transfer, license or other permitted use for value of the Earnout Products by or on behalf of the Earnout Product Selling Persons; (ii) “Earnout Products” means any MEMS Microphone that embodies, contains or is based upon (in whole or in part) any Transferred Technology, any Transferred Intellectual Property Rights, any Retained Technology and/or any Retained Intellectual Property Rights (each as defined in the License Agreement) licensed to Buyer, and any line extensions, improvements, enhancements, variations or modifications, whether or not patentable, of any of the foregoing, in each case whether sold as a standalone product or as a component or element of another product or bundled with another product; and (iii) “Earnout Product Selling Persons” means Buyer, its Affiliates and each of their respective successors and assigns. For purposes of this Section 1.5, (x) revenue shall be deemed recognized by the applicable Earnout Product Selling Person with respect to any Earnout Product when such Earnout Product is shipped by such Earnout Product Selling Person and (y) if any Earnout Product is a component or element of, or bundled with, another product, the revenue deemed recognized with respect to the sale, transfer, license or other permitted use for value of such Earnout Product shall be the greater of (1) Buyer’s standard list price of such Earnout Product for standalone sales and (2) the amount expressly allocated to such Earnout Product by Buyer and the counterparty to such transaction.

(b) Buyer shall deliver to ADI, within twenty (20) Business Days after the end of the Earnout Period, a certificate, certified by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Buyer, setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of Earnout Product Revenue for the Earnout Period and the Earnout Amount (a “Buyer Earnout Certificate”), together with supporting detail therefor, such calculation to be prepared in accordance with the principles specified in Section 1.5(a).

(c) Buyer and ADI agree that they will cooperate and assist in the calculation of the Earnout Amount and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 1.5. Without limitation of the foregoing or Section 9.1, Buyer shall make available books, records, work papers and personnel of the Earnout Product Selling Persons solely to the extent reasonably necessary to allow ADI and its accountants and advisors to calculate, and to review and evaluate Buyer’s calculation of, the proposed Earnout Amount.

(d) Following the Closing and prior to the end of the Earnout Period, in the event of a Subsequent Sale, the Maximum Earnout Amount (to the extent not previously paid to

Sellers) shall be paid in full by Buyer to Sellers in cash within ten (10) Business Days following such Subsequent Sale. For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsequent Sale” means the sale, transfer or disposition (including through the sale or transfer of the equity interests in any entity holding any of the Acquired Assets) following the Closing Date, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Acquired Assets, other than in connection with any merger, consolidation, liquidation or change of control, or sale of substantially all of the assets of Buyer.

(e) Following the Closing and prior to the end of the Earnout Period, Buyer shall (and shall cause each other Earnout Product Selling Person to) use commercially reasonable efforts to promote, market and sell Earnout Products during the Earnout Period. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall not (and Buyer shall cause each other Earnout Product Selling Person not to) disproportionately discount any Earnout Product that is sold (or transferred, licensed or otherwise permitted to be used for value) to any third party in any transaction (or series of related transactions) with any other product of Buyer or such Earnout Product Selling Person, as compared to the discount applied to such other product.

(f) Upon the written request of ADI, Buyer shall (and shall cause each other Earnout Product Selling Person to) permit the Independent Accounting Firm, at ADI’s expense, to have access, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours to inspect and audit the books and records of each Earnout Product Selling Person for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the reports described in Sections 1.5(b). If the Independent Accounting Firm concludes that Earnout Product Revenue was underreported for the Earnout Period by more than five percent (5%), Buyer shall promptly reimburse ADI for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the Independent Accounting Firm’s inspection and audit. During the period following the Closing and prior to the final determination of the Earnout Amount (the “Audit Period”), and thereafter as needed for any audit requested during the Audit Period pursuant to this Section 1.5(f), Buyer shall (and shall cause each other Earnout Product Selling Person to) keep such complete and accurate books and records as may be necessary to calculate the Earnout Product Revenue and ascertain the efforts of such persons to maximize the Earnout Product Revenue pursuant to Section 1.5(e). For purposes of this Agreement, “Independent Accounting Firm” means the Boston, Massachusetts office of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or if circumstances create an actual conflict of interest that would impair such firm’s ability to impartially determine any issue presented to it pursuant to this Agreement or such firm is unable or unwilling to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm, the Boston, Massachusetts office of a nationally recognized registered public accounting firm selected in accordance with the rules of procedure of the American Arbitration Association.

(g) ADI shall be entitled to reimbursement from Buyer of all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of ADI in collecting any Earnout Amount that is not paid when due pursuant to this Section 1.5.

(h) No portion of the Earnout Amount to be paid to ADI under this Section 1.5 shall be subject to any right of set off or any similar right.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Buyer’s obligation to pay the Earnout Amount or its liability for Damages resulting from any breach of any covenant set forth in this Section 1.5 be subject to any of the limitations set forth in Section 6.5.

1.6 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when requested by either Party hereto and at the requesting Party’s expense, the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

1.7 Withholding. The Parties agree that Buyer is not required to deduct or withhold Taxes from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement under any current provision of applicable law, including as the result of the application of Section 1.1(e). If as a result of a change in applicable law after the date of this Agreement Buyer determines that it is required to deduct or withhold Taxes from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such withholding Taxes; without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall notify ADI prior to withholding any such Taxes and provide Sellers with a reasonable opportunity to claim any exemption or reduction in otherwise applicable withholding Taxes. If any action of Buyer after the date of this Agreement (including a transfer or assignment of any or all of Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or any action taken in accordance with Section 1.1(e)) results in the imposition of a withholding Tax on consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any person, the amounts payable by Buyer under this Agreement to such person shall be increased so that the person receives an amount equal to what the person would have received had no such withholding Taxes applied.

ADI represents and warrants to Buyer that the statements contained in this Article II are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing, except as set forth in the disclosure schedule provided by ADI to Buyer (as updated from time to time in accordance with Section 9.2(b), the “Disclosure Schedule”). The disclosure in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall indicate the sections and subsections in this Article II to which it relates and such disclosure shall qualify (i) such sections and subsections and (ii) every other section or subsection in this Article II to the extent it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections.

2.1 Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power. Each Seller is an entity duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified to conduct business under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of the Acquired Assets makes such qualification necessary, except for any such failures to be qualified that would not reasonably be expected to result in a

Seller Material Adverse Effect. Each Seller has all requisite corporate or comparable power and authority to carry on the business in which it is now engaged and to own and use the properties now owned and used by it. For purposes of this Agreement, “Seller Material Adverse Effect” means any change, effect or circumstance that would or would be reasonably be expected to (i) have a material adverse effect on the Acquired Assets, taken as a whole, or (ii) materially impair the ability of Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that a “Seller Material Adverse Effect” shall not include any adverse change, effect or circumstance directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out of (I) actions taken by or on behalf of any Seller at the request or with the consent of Buyer, (II) the negotiation, execution, announcement, pendency or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by this Agreement, (III) changes generally and not specifically relating to the Acquired Assets in the industry or markets in which the Acquired Assets are used or the Acquired Products are sold by Sellers (except to the extent such change has had a disproportionate effect on the Acquired Assets relative to other companies that operate in the same industry as the Acquired Assets), (IV) changes in economic conditions or financial markets in any country or region or globally, including changes in interest or exchange rates and changes in currency and credit markets (in each case except to the extent such change or continued weakness has had a disproportionate effect on the Acquired Assets relative to other companies that operate in the same industry as the Acquired Assets), (V) acts of war, armed hostilities, sabotage or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war, armed hostilities, sabotage or terrorism, (VI) any failure of Sellers to meet any projections, guidance, estimates, forecasts or milestones for or during any period ending on or after the date hereof with respect to the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Products (it being agreed that the effects giving rise to any such failure that are not otherwise excluded by this proviso may be taken into account in determining whether a Seller Material Adverse Effect has occurred or may occur), (VII) earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, mudslides, wild fires or other natural disasters, weather conditions and other force majeure events in any country or region, or (VIII) changes in law or other legal or regulatory conditions (or the interpretation thereof) or changes in accounting standards (or the interpretation thereof).

2.2 Authority. Each Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which such Seller is a party and each Seller has all requisite corporate or comparable power to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by ADI, the performance by each Seller of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by each Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate or comparable action on the part of each such Seller. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have been, or will be, duly and validly executed and delivered by each Seller party hereto and thereto, and, assuming this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute, or will constitute, the valid and binding agreement of Buyer, constitute, or will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of each applicable Seller, enforceable against each applicable Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable principles, including those limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies and those providing for equitable defenses.

2.3 Noncontravention. Subject to compliance with any applicable requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “Hart-Scott-Rodino Act”), and any applicable foreign antitrust or trade regulation laws, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by ADI, nor the consummation by any Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby, will:

(a) conflict with or violate any provision of the charter or bylaws or other organizational documents of any Seller;

(b) require on the part of any Seller any filing with, or any permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any court, arbitrational tribunal, administrative agency or commission or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency (a “Governmental Entity”), except for any filing, permit, authorization, consent or approval which if not obtained or made would not reasonably be expected to result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect;

(c) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, or require any notice, consent or waiver under, any Designated Contract, in each case in any material respect; or

Such statements (A) were not necessarily prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), including with respect to the allocation or estimation of costs, operating expenses, assets and liabilities that were included therein, (B) do not reflect allocations of corporate expenses or rights to receive corporate services, (C) may not reflect the financial performance of Sellers’ activities related to the design, manufacture and sale of the Acquired Products had they been conducted as a stand-alone business, and (D) in the case of the financial statements described in the foregoing clause (ii), may be subject to year-end adjustments.

(b) The Inventory is usable and saleable in the ordinary course of business as currently conducted or as presently contemplated by Sellers to be conducted.

(c) Section 2.4(c) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth complete and correct copies of all standard warranties and guaranties currently offered or still in effect with respect to the Acquired Products as of the date of this Agreement (other than warranties under applicable law), and there are no other warranties or guaranties currently in effect with respect to the Acquired Products that materially deviate from such standard warranties and guaranties.

2.5 Absence of Certain Changes. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, since December 31, 2012, there has not been a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

2.6 Tangible Personal Property. The applicable Seller has good and valid title to, a valid leasehold interest in or a valid license to use, all of the material tangible Acquired Assets, free and clear of all Security Interests. For purposes of this Agreement, “Security Interest” means any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, charge, lease, sublease or other lien (whether arising by contract or by operation of law), other than (i) mechanic’s, materialmen’s, landlord’s and similar liens, (ii) liens arising under worker’s compensation, unemployment insurance, social security, retirement and similar legislation, (iii) liens on goods in transit incurred pursuant to documentary letters of credit, in each case arising in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and that are not a result of a breach by the applicable Seller of any of its obligations, (iv) liens for Taxes not yet due and payable or for Taxes that are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and (v) liens relating to capitalized lease financings or purchase money financings that have been entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.

2.7 Intellectual Property.

(a) To Sellers’ knowledge, the applicable Seller owns, or is licensed or otherwise possesses valid rights under, the Designated Patents and all Transferred Technology. To Sellers’ knowledge, the Designated Patents and Transferred Technology are freely transferable (subject to applicable export control laws) and assignable (and, upon the Closing, will be assigned and transferred) to Buyer without restriction and without any payment or future payment obligation of any kind to any third party, other than requirements under applicable law to file documents with and pay fees for the assignment of the Designated Patents to applicable Governmental Entities. For purposes of this Agreement, “Transferred Technology” shall have the meaning set forth in the License Agreement.

(b) No Seller has been named in any material pending suit, action or proceeding relating to the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Products which involves a claim of infringement or misappropriation of any patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks, trade secrets or copyrights of any third party, and no Seller has received any written notice, threat, or invitation to license, asserting that any Acquired Assets or Acquired Products or the use, sale, license or disposition thereof infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property rights of a third party. To Sellers’ knowledge, the design, manufacture, use and sale of the Acquired Assets

and Acquired Products, in each case as conducted in the past six (6) years and as presently conducted, does not infringe or misappropriate any patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights of any third party. To Sellers’ knowledge, no third party is infringing, using or misappropriating any Designated Patent or Transferred Technology. No Seller has made any such claims against any third party with respect to any Designated Patent or Transferred Technology, and no Seller has invited any third party to take a license, covenant not to sue or the like with respect to any Designated Patent or Transferred Technology.

(c) The applicable Seller has performed the material obligations required to be performed by it under the terms of any agreement pursuant to which such Seller has rights in any Designated Patents, and none of Sellers or, to Sellers’ knowledge, any third party is in material default under any such agreement.

(d) Other than rights and licenses granted in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, none of ADI or any of its subsidiaries has granted to any third party any material license or right under any of the Designated Patents or any intellectual property rights in the Transferred Technology.

2.8 Designated Contracts. ADI has made available to Buyer a correct and complete copy of each Designated Contract, together with all modifications and amendments thereto. No Seller (nor, to Sellers’ knowledge, any other party thereto) is in material default under any such Designated Contract.

2.9 Litigation. Section 2.9 of the Disclosure Schedule lists, as of the date of this Agreement, each material (a) judgment, order, decree, stipulation or injunction specifically naming any Seller and relating to the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Products and (b) claim, complaint, action, suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation relating to the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Products by or before any Governmental Entity to which any Seller is a party or, to Sellers’ knowledge, which has been overtly threatened against any Seller.

2.10 Employee Matters.

(a) Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, the position, work location, employing entity, and the annual rate of base salary or hourly wage (including status as exempt or nonexempt from overtime pay requirements under

the Fair Labor Standards Act or analogous United States state laws) and cash bonus opportunity of each Designated Employee. All Designated Employees in the United States are employed or engaged on an at-will basis, and may be terminated by the applicable Seller without cost or other liability, except for wages earned prior to the time of termination per employee and liabilities that are Excluded Liabilities. Section 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule also sets forth a list, as of the date of this Agreement, of each Employee Benefit Plan in which any Designated Employee participates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Employee Benefit Plan” shall mean (i) any “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) other than a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA), (ii) any “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), and (iii) any other written plan, agreement or arrangement involving compensation, including without limitation insurance coverage, severance benefits, disability benefits, deferred compensation, bonuses, stock options, stock purchase, phantom stock, stock appreciation or other forms of incentive compensation or post-retirement compensation, or fringe benefits, but excluding any Employee Benefit Plan required to be maintained or contributed to under foreign law.

(b) With respect to the Designated Employees, (i) each of the Sellers is in material compliance with all applicable laws regarding labor and employment, including those related to employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours, social insurance, leaves of absence, collective bargaining, equal opportunity, occupational health and safety, workers’ compensation, immigration, individual and collective consultation and notice of termination and redundancy, and (ii) no Seller has any liability under any applicable laws related to employment and attributable to an event occurring or a state of facts existing prior to the date hereof, including any liability that has been incurred by any Seller, but remains to be discharged, for breach of an employment contract with an employee or breach of any statutory employment right under applicable law, except for any such liability that is an Excluded Liability. To the knowledge of Sellers, all Designated Employees are lawfully entitled to work for ADI or the applicable Seller in the country of employment without restriction or any visa, permit or consent being required.

(c) No Designated Employee is subject to any collective bargaining agreement, works council agreement, or similar agreement with a labor union or works council, and to the knowledge of Sellers, no Designated Employee is represented by any labor organization.

2.11 Compliance with Laws. Each Seller is conducting and has since December 31, 2009 conducted, the design, manufacture and sale of the Acquired Products in material compliance with all applicable laws, currently in effect with respect to such activities. No Seller has received written notice of any pending action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, claim, demand or notice relating to the Acquired Products alleging any material failure to so comply.

2.12 Completeness of Acquired Assets. The Acquired Assets, and the rights granted to Buyer pursuant to the License Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, when utilized

by a labor force substantially similar to that employed by Sellers in connection with the design, manufacture and sale of the Acquired Products on the date hereof, include all rights (including intellectual property rights), properties and assets necessary in all material respects to design, manufacture and sell the Acquired Products, as so done currently by Sellers.

2.13 Taxes.

(a) All material property Tax Returns related to the Acquired Assets that are required to be filed under applicable law have been timely filed, and such Tax Returns are complete and correct in all material respects. All material property Taxes (whether or not shown or required to be shown on any Tax Return or any other Tax filings) with respect to the Acquired Assets that have become due and payable have been timely paid.

(b) No written claim has been made by a tax authority where a Seller does not file a property Tax Return related to the Acquired Assets that such Seller is required to file such Tax Return or may be subject to property Tax in such jurisdiction as a result of using or holding the Acquired Assets.

2.14 Brokers’ Fees. The Assumed Liabilities do not include any liability or obligation of Sellers to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.3 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Third-Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. A person or entity entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party. At any time following the delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense.

(a) The representations and warranties of ADI and Buyer set forth in this Agreement and the certificates delivered at Closing pursuant to Sections 5.1(c) and 5.2(c) shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties of ADI contained in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 and of Buyer contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby without limitation.

(b) None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

(c) Neither Party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination or expiration thereof.

(d) Any valid claim that is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 6.3, prior to the expiration as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim, or any claim with respect to any breach of a covenant as provided in Section 6.4(b), shall survive until such claim is finally resolved and satisfied solely for purposes of such claim.

6.5 Limitations.

(a) From and after the Closing, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VI and the remedies expressly provided in Section 1.5, Section 9.3 and Section 10.13 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to claims resulting from any breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, in no event shall Buyer, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement each of the following limitations shall apply:

(i) the aggregate liability of either Indemnifying Party for all Damages under this Article VI shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Closing Purchase Price;

(ii) no individual claim for indemnification under this Article VI shall be valid and assertable unless it is for an amount in excess of $50,000;

provided, however, that the limitations of Section 6.5(b) shall not apply to (A) any claim described in Section 6.1(b) or Section 6.2(b), (B) any breach of a representation or warranty

contained in Section 2.1 (Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power) and Section 2.2 (Authority), for which ADI’s indemnification obligation for Damages, together with any liability for Damages otherwise pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), in the aggregate shall not exceed the Purchase Price, (C) any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.1 (Organization) and Section 3.2 (Authority), for which Buyer’s indemnification obligation for Damages, together with any liability for Damages otherwise pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i), in the aggregate shall not exceed the Purchase Price, and (D) any breach of a covenant that survives the Closing pursuant to Section 6.4. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit a party’s liability for fraud.

(c) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible or liable for any Damages or other amounts under this Article VI that are (i) consequential, in the nature of lost profits or diminution in value, special or punitive or otherwise not actual out-of-pocket Damages or (ii) contingent. The Indemnified Party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Damages for which indemnification is provided to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

(d) If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any third-party payment in connection with any claim for Damages for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Indemnifying Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such third-party payment, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this Agreement with respect to such claim plus the amount of the third-party payments received, over (ii) the amount of Damages with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Agreement.

(e) Each party shall have the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) In no event shall ADI be liable for any Damages arising from or relating to, directly or indirectly, any act, omission or transaction carried out by or at the express request of Buyer.

(a) Employment Offers to U.S. Employees. Buyer shall make offers of employment to the Designated Employees identified on Schedule 9.3(a) (the “U.S. Employees”) at a time to be mutually agreed between ADI and Buyer.

All Employment Liabilities to the extent related to the period after the Closing in respect of EU Employees who so transfer to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, shall from Closing be borne by Buyer or such Affiliate of Buyer. For purposes of this Agreement, “Employment Liabilities” shall mean any and all claims, debts, liabilities, commitments and obligations, whether fixed, contingent or absolute, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, accrued or unaccrued, known or unknown, however arising, including all costs and expenses relating thereto arising under law, rule, regulation, permit, action or proceeding before any Governmental Entity, order or consent decree or any award of any arbitrator with authority to make awards, in each case relating to any Employee Benefit Plan, employment agreement or otherwise relating to an employee or former employee, current or former consultant or current or former director of Sellers or an ERISA Affiliate and his or her employment or service with Sellers or any ERISA Affiliate.

(ii) Where it is not possible or not legally required for Buyer or its relevant Affiliate to replicate an Employee Benefit Plan (including any retirement benefit) for an EU Employee whose employment is transferred to Buyer or its relevant Affiliate by operation of applicable law, Buyer or its relevant Affiliate shall provide a substantially equivalent benefit.

(iii) If, contrary to the expectations of the parties, the contract of employment of any EU Employee which the parties expected to transfer automatically to Buyer or its relevant Affiliate by operation of applicable law is not so transferred, Buyer or its relevant Affiliate shall make the relevant Designated Employee an offer of employment on the same basis as that made to U.S. Employees in accordance with this Section 9.3, such offer to be made within three (3) Business Days of Buyer becoming aware of such fact.

(iv) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and each Affiliate against any and all claims and demands by any EU Employee, or any representative of an EU Employee, and against any losses, costs and expenses incurred investigating or defending such claims, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or in connection with:

(A) any changes to such EU Employee’s terms of employment, location, or engagement, or working conditions, proposed by Buyer or its relevant Affiliate;

(B) the identity of Buyer or its relevant Affiliate;

(E) any failure by Buyer or its relevant Affiliate prior to Closing to timely supply Sellers or any Affiliate with information required to be provided by Buyer or its relevant Affiliate under applicable law, including in particular, any information required for the purposes of Sellers or any Affiliate informing or consulting with EU Employees or their representatives, prior to Closing.

Buyer shall issue a written offer of employment to the employees identified on Schedule 9.3(d) (the “Chinese Employees”) simultaneously with a written notice of termination to be issued by Sellers to the Chinese Employees not less than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date (or such shorter period as may be agreed by any such Chinese Employee or as may otherwise be consistent with applicable law). Such offers of employment shall be subject to and in compliance with Buyer’s standard applicable human resources policies and procedures and applicable law, and on terms and conditions (including credit for years of employment with Sellers and any predecessor entity) at least during the Retention Period comparable in the aggregate to the terms and conditions on which such Chinese Employees were employed by Sellers prior to Closing, including, without limitation, with respect to compensation, social welfare, location and eligibility for severance. After the date on which such notices are issued, Sellers shall permit Buyer to review employee files, compensation data, and job information for such Chinese Employees, subject to applicable law. After such date, Sellers shall permit Buyer to contact and meet with all such Chinese Employees at Sellers’ premises during normal business hours, and Sellers shall cooperate fully with Buyer in all such respects. Any Chinese Employee who does not accept an offer of employment from Buyer shall be terminated by Sellers when allowed under applicable law.

10.9 Governing Law. Subject to the provisions of certain Exhibits hereto regarding the application of local law, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

10.10 Amendments and Waivers. The Parties may mutually amend or waive any provision of this Agreement at any time. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Parties. No waiver by either Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

10.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the body making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

10.12 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.13 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Party may be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state or jurisdiction thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter.

10.14 Submission to Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of certain Exhibits hereto regarding the submission of actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to such Exhibits to courts of local jurisdictions, each Party (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined only in any such court, and (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each Party waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of the other Party with respect thereto. Either Party may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.8. Nothing in this Section 10.14, however, shall affect the right of either Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

10.15 Bulk Transfer Laws. Buyer acknowledges that Sellers will not comply with the provisions of the bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.16 Construction. Except where expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation apply to this Agreement: (i) “either” and “or” are not exclusive and “include”, “includes” and “including” are not limiting; (ii) “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iii) “date hereof” refers to the date set forth in the initial caption of this Agreement; (iv) “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase does not mean simply “if”; (v) definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms; (vi) references to a contract or agreement mean such contract or agreement as amended or otherwise modified from time to time; (vii) references to a person or entity are also to its permitted successors and assigns; (viii) references to an “Article”, “Section”, “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refer to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement; (ix) references to “$” or otherwise to dollar amounts refer to the lawful currency of the United States; and (x) references to a law include any rules, regulations and delegated legislation issued thereunder. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party.

10.17 Foreign Exchange Conversions. If any amount to be paid, transferred, allocated, indemnified, reimbursed or calculated pursuant to, or in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule (including the Disclosure Schedule) referred to herein (including the calculation, payment or reimbursement of Damages under Article VI hereof) is originally stated or expressed in a currency other than United States Dollars, then, for the purpose of determining the amount to be so paid, transferred, allocated, indemnified, reimbursed or calculated, such amount shall be converted into United States Dollars at the exchange rate between those two currencies most recently quoted in The Wall Street Journal in New York as of the Business Day immediately prior to (or, if no such quote exists on such Business Day, on the closest Business Day prior to) the day on which the party required to make such payment, transfer, indemnification, reimbursement or calculation first becomes obligated to do so hereunder (or, in the case of Article VI hereof, would have first become obligated to do so but for the operation of Section 6.5(b) hereof); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.17 shall be deemed to require either Party to make any foreign currency conversion or other similar calculation that violates or conflicts with, or otherwise causes a party to violate, applicable law or U.S. GAAP.

10.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party hereby irrevocably waives all rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the actions of either Party in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement.

10.19 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits, Schedules and Disclosure Schedule identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
