have executed and delivered a signature page to this Agreement (collectively,
the "Securityholders"),
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Paradigm desires to acquire NewLogic in a transaction intended
to qualify as a tax-free reorganization pursuant to section 368 of the Internal

merge with and into Paradigm, and Paradigm will receive all of the capital stock
of NewLogic, as the surviving entity of the Merger; and
WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof, Paradigm will pay to each
Securityholder shares of Common Stock of Paradigm for their securities or for
the surrender of their securities and, as an inducement to certain
Securityholders to enter into this Agreement, certain of these Securityholders
shall be entitled to receive additional consideration after the Closing:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE, SALE AND SURRENDER OF SECURITIES
1.1 Purchase, Sale and Surrender of Securities. Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Securityholders shall sell to
Paradigm and Paradigm shall purchase from the Securityholders all of the shares
of capital stock of NewLogic held by the Securityholders, and the
Securityholders shall surrender all unexercised options and other rights to
purchase such shares held by the Securityholders (collectively, the
"Securities") at the Closing (as defined in Section 11.1 hereof).
1.2 The Agreement of Merger. At the Closing, NewLogic shall be merged
with and into Paradigm by a statutory merger (the "Merger") in accordance with
the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Corporation Law") on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein and pursuant to an agreement of
merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2 (the "Agreement of Merger").
The Agreement of Merger will be executed and delivered by NewLogic and Paradigm
prior to the Closing and will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware at or simultaneous with the Closing in accordance with section 251
-1-
of the Corporation Law. The Merger shall be effective (the "Effective Time of
Merger") as of the time of the filing of the Agreement of Merger with the
Delaware Secretary of State on the Closing Date, at which time NewLogic shall

Time of Merger, the Securities shall by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the Securityholders, be converted into the number of
shares of common stock of Paradigm as set forth in the Agreement of Merger.
1.3 Purchase Price. As consideration for the Securities, Paradigm shall
pay to the Securityholders an aggregate of 314,395 shares of the Common Stock of
Paradigm (collectively, the "Stock Consideration") and an aggregate of
$165,068.05 in cash (the "Cash Consideration"), together with the post-closing

(b) 138,088 shares of Common Stock of Paradigm (the "Escrowed Shares"),
shall be delivered irrevocably to a financial institution or other independent
party to be mutually agreed upon by Paradigm and NewLogic prior to the Closing,
as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), pursuant to an escrow agreement
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 1.3(b) hereto (the "Escrow
Agreement"). The Escrowed Shares shall be issued in the record name of ▇▇▇▇

Shares will be held by the Escrow Agent for purposes of securing the
indemnification obligations of the Securityholders as set forth in Article of
this Agreement and in the Escrow Agreement. In accordance with the Escrow
Agreement, 41,426 shares of Common Stock of Paradigm (together with any
dividends or distributions paid thereon), net of any offsets made in
satisfaction of such indemnification obligations ("Offsets"), shall be released
by the Escrow Agent to the Securityholders Trustee on the first anniversary of
the Closing, and thirty-five percent (35%) of the Stock Consideration, or 96,662
shares of Common Stock of Paradigm (together with any dividends or distributions
paid thereon), net of any Offsets, shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the
Securityholders Trustee on the second anniversary of the Closing.
(c) The Cash Consideration shall be paid to the Securityholders set
forth on Schedule 1.3(a), or to NewLogic on behalf of such Securityholders, and

Securityholder's Gross Margin Payment shall be allocated and distributed among
the remaining eligible Securityholders pro rata based on their Percentage
Interest in such amount (after

be promptly distributed to the eligible Securityholders pursuant to their

3.7 Compliance with Laws. To NewLogic's knowledge, NewLogic is in
compliance and has conducted its business and operations so as to comply with
all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, judgments, decrees or orders of any
Governmental Entity, except to the extent that failure to comply would not have
a material and adverse effect on NewLogic's Business Condition. To NewLogic's
knowledge, there are no judgments or orders, injunctions, decrees, stipulations
or awards (whether rendered by a court or administrative agency or by
arbitration) against NewLogic or against any of its properties or businesses,
and, to NewLogic's knowledge, none are pending or threatened, which individually
or in the aggregate would have a material and adverse effect on the Business
Condition of NewLogic. NewLogic has not during the past eighteen (18) months
received any governmental notice from any Governmental Entity for any violation
of United States laws or regulations. NewLogic has all permits, licenses,
orders, authorizations, registrations, concessions, certificates, approvals and
other instruments of any Governmental Entity (the "Government Licenses") (each
of which is in full force and effect) necessary for the conduct of its business
which other than those the lack of which would individually or in the aggregate
have a material and adverse effect on the Business Condition of NewLogic.
NewLogic is in compliance with the terms, conditions, limitations, restrictions,
standards, prohibitions, requirements and obligations of such Government
Licenses except where the failure to so comply would not have a material and
adverse effect on the Business Condition of NewLogic. NewLogic has made all
filings and registrations and the like necessary or required by law to conduct
its business except where its failure to do so would not have a material and
adverse effect on NewLogic's Business Condition. To NewLogic's knowledge, there
is not now pending, nor is there threatened, any action, suit, investigation or
proceeding against NewLogic before any Governmental Entity with respect to the
Government Licenses, nor is there any issued or outstanding notice, order or
complaint with respect to the violation by NewLogic of the terms of any
Government License or any rule or regulation applicable thereto other than those
that would not have a material adverse effect on the Business Condition of
NewLogic.
3.8 No Defaults. NewLogic is not, and it has not received notice that
it is or would be with the passage of time (x) in violation of any provision of

adverse effect on the Business Condition of NewLogic.
3.9 Litigation. To NewLogic's knowledge, there is no action, suit,
proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation pending or threatened against
NewLogic or any of its officers or directors which, if determined adversely to
NewLogic or such officers or directors, would have an adverse effect on

determinable) of a character which, under GAAP, should be accrued, shown,
disclosed, reserved or indicated in an audited balance sheet of NewLogic
(including the footnotes thereto).

copies of all instruments, agreements, other documents and information delivered
by NewLogic and its professional advisors to Paradigm or its counsel and
accountants are and will be true, accurate and complete in all material respects
as of the date of delivery thereof.
3.13 Certain Agreements. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (a)
result in any material payment (including, without limitation, severance,
unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to
any service provider of NewLogic under any Plan (as defined in Section 3.14
below) or otherwise, (b) materially increase any benefits otherwise payable

audit, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation now pending or threatened
against or with respect to NewLogic in respect of any Tax or assessment. No
notice of deficiency or similar document of any Tax authority has been received
by NewLogic, and there are no liabilities for Taxes (including liabilities for
interest, additions to Tax and penalties thereon and related expenses) with
respect to the issues that have been raised (and are currently pending) by any
Tax authority that would, if determined adversely to NewLogic, adversely affect
the liability of NewLogic for Taxes. NewLogic is in full compliance with all the
terms and conditions of any Tax exemptions or other Tax-sharing agreement or
order of a foreign government and the consummation of the transactions set forth
herein will not have any adverse effect on the continued validity and
effectiveness of any such Tax exemption or other Tax-sharing agreement or order.

enter into any agreement or consent pursuant to section 341(f) of the Code.

contract which could be treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. NewLogic is not currently and never has been subject to the reporting

162 (other than 162(a)) or 404 of the Code. NewLogic is not a party to or bound
by any Tax indemnity, Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement which includes a
-15-
party other than NewLogic nor does NewLogic owe any amount under any such
Agreement. NewLogic has previously provided or made available to Paradigm true

authorities and the making of such reports under the Securities Exchange Act of

due (including any extensions of such due date), and all amounts shown to be due
thereon on or before the Closing have been or will be paid on or before such

fully accrue all actual and contingent liabilities for Taxes with respect to all
periods through the date thereof in accordance with GAAP.

judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon Paradigm which has or would

practice of Paradigm, any material acquisition of property by Paradigm, or the
continuation in all material respects of the business of Paradigm as currently
conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted.

of all licenses, authorizations, permits, concessions, certificates and other

is in material compliance with the terms, conditions, limitations, restrictions,
standards, prohibitions, requirements and obligations of such Paradigm
Government Licenses except to the extent failure to hold and maintain such
Paradigm Government Licenses or to so comply would not have a material and
adverse effect on the Business Condition of Paradigm. To the knowledge of
Paradigm, there is not now pending, nor is there threatened, any action, suit,
investigation or proceeding against Paradigm before any Governmental Entity with
respect to the Paradigm Government Licenses, nor is there any issued or
outstanding notice, order or complaint with respect to the violation by Paradigm

applicable thereto, except to the extent that any such action would not have a
material and adverse effect on the Business Condition of Paradigm.

substantial compliance with all applicable federal, state or local laws relating
to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of pollutants,
contaminants, or hazardous or toxic materials or waste, except to the extent
noncompliance with such laws has not had and would not reasonably be expected to
have a material and adverse effect on the Business Condition of Paradigm.

director, officer or other employee, agent or representative of Paradigm has (a)

America or in any foreign country in order to obtain preferential treatment or

the subject of any inquiry or investigation by any Governmental Entity in

that certain letter agreement between Paradigm and Bentley Hall & Company, no
agent, broker, investment banker or other firm or person is, or will be,
pursuant to any agreement made or entered into by Paradigm, entitled to any
broker's or finder's fee or any other commission or similar fee in

inclusion in the application for issuance of a permit pursuant to section 25121
of the California Corporations Code pursuant to which the Stock Consideration
will be qualified shall not at the time the fairness hearing is held pursuant to

Corporations Code contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

6.7 Breach of Representations, Warranties, Agreements and Covenants.
NewLogic shall not knowingly take, or knowingly fail to take, any action which
from the date hereof through the Closing would cause or constitute a material
breach of any of its representations, warranties, agreements and covenants set

all reasonable actions to obtain (and to cooperate with Paradigm in obtaining)
any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any
Governmental Entity required to be obtained or made by NewLogic (or by Paradigm)
in connection with the consummation of the transactions set forth herein or the
taking of any action contemplated thereby or by this Agreement, to lift or
rescind any injunction or restraining order or other order materially and
adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby as NewLogic deems advisable in good faith, and to effect all
necessary registrations and filings and submissions of information as NewLogic
deems advisable in good faith required by any Governmental Entity, and to
fulfill all conditions to this Agreement.
6.9 Post-Closing Covenants.
(a) Commencing from and after the Closing, and for a period of two (2)
years following the Closing, no Securityholder shall voluntarily resign his or
her employment with or Service Provision for Paradigm (or any legal
successor-in-interest to Paradigm), or act or fail to act in such a manner as to
give rise to such Securityholder's termination for "Cause" (as defined below) by
Paradigm (or any such successor-in-interest). The parties agree that a
Securityholder's resignation of employment from, or termination of employment
for Cause by, Paradigm, on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date,
shall constitute a Breach (as defined in Section 13.2) of this Section 6.9(a).
Nothing in this Section 6.9(a) shall in any way prohibit Paradigm from
terminating the employment of one or more Securityholders for any reason, with
or without Cause. For purposes of this Section 6.9(a), "Cause" shall mean (i)
any act of personal dishonesty taken by the Securityholder in connection with
his/her responsibilities as an employee of Paradigm and intended to result in
his/her substantial personal enrichment, (ii) such Securityholder's conviction
of a felony which Paradigm reasonably determines had or will have a material
detrimental effect on Paradigm's reputation or business, (iii) a grossly
negligent or willful act by such Securityholder which constitutes gross
misconduct and which is injurious to Paradigm, or (iv) continued violations by
such Securityholder of his/her obligations which are demonstrably willful or
grossly negligent on his/her part after there has been delivered to such
Securityholder a written demand for performance from Paradigm which describes
the basis for Paradigm's belief that he/she has not substantially performed
his/her duties. In addition, for purposes of this Section 6.9(a), in the event
Paradigm, without Cause and without the affected Securityholder's consent, (A)
substantially reduces the amount of such Securityholder's base compensation,
other than any such reduction which is part
-32-
of, and generally consistent with, a general reduction of salaries of employees
holding similar positions, (B) materially adversely affects his/her working
conditions at Paradigm in a manner that disproportionately adversely affects
such Securityholder, as compared to other Paradigm employees generally, or (C)
unilaterally and substantially changes his/her title and duties, such
Securityholder's resignation of employment will be treated as a termination of
employment by Paradigm without Cause; provided, however, that with respect to
acts described in subsections (B) and (C) above, such Securityholder's
resignation will not be treated as a constructive termination unless Paradigm
fails to restore his/her prior working conditions, title or duties in all
material respects within thirty (30) days after notice to the President of
Paradigm setting forth in reasonable detail the respects in which he/she
believes the act constitutes constructive termination.
(b) The parties acknowledge that the Business Condition of NewLogic
would be materially adversely affected by the failure to replace its chip
architect, the position held until recently by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. Prior to the
expiration of sixty (60) days from the date hereof, the Securityholders, or any
of them, shall identify, recruit and cause to be hired by Paradigm, pursuant to
employment terms reasonably acceptable to Paradigm, an individual with
credentials, expertise and experience reasonably similar in scope and subject
matter to NewLogic's prior chip architect. Paradigm's decision whether to employ
any such individual shall be made by Paradigm in its sole discretion. The
parties agree that the failure to complete such recruitment and hiring within
the time frame specified above shall constitute a Breach (as defined in Section
13.2) of this Section 6.9(b).
6.10 Public Announcements. NewLogic will consult in advance with
Paradigm concerning the timing and content of any announcement, press release or
public statement concerning the transactions set forth in this Agreement and
will not make any such announcement, release or statement without Paradigm's
prior written consent.

-33-
and liabilities of Paradigm, and will furnish NewLogic, its accountants, legal
counsel and other representatives during such period all such information
concerning its affairs as NewLogic may reasonably request; provided, that any
furnishing of such information pursuant hereto or any investigation by NewLogic
shall not affect NewLogic's right to rely on the representations, warranties,
agreements and covenants made by Paradigm in this Agreement.

efforts to perform and fulfill all obligations on its part to be performed and
fulfilled under this Agreement, and to cause all the conditions precedent to the

Escrowed Shares set forth on Schedule I attached to the Escrow Agreement; and
provided, further, that no Damages shall be paid to the Paradigm Released
Parties in connection with the Breach of any representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements (excluding those set forth in Section 6.9) contained
herein unless, until and except to the extent the aggregate amount of
Indemnifiable Claims resulting in Damages exceeds $75,000.
(d) Paradigm's maximum liability to each such Securityholder for
Damages caused by a breach of its representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements set forth herein (absent fraud or willful misrepresentation, for
which the limitation on Damages is set forth in Section 13.2(e) below) shall be
limited to the maximum amount of Damages for which such Securityholder could be
liable to Paradigm (in the event such Securityholder were to owe Damages to
Paradigm) at the time such Damages are payable by Paradigm.
(e) The sole remedies that may be available to a party in the event of
fraud or willful misrepresentation relating to any of the representations,
warranties, agreements or covenants made by any other party(ies) in this
Agreement shall be as set forth in this Section 13.2(e). With respect to any
fraud or willful misrepresentation claim brought by any party seeking
indemnification against any other party, the party seeking indemnification will
bear the burden of proof of demonstrating that the other party had actual
knowledge of the alleged falsehood and intentionally misled such party with
respect to same. Knowledge of a fact or omission on which a fraud or willful
misrepresentation claim is based may not be imputed or attributed to a party
seeking indemnification on the basis of his or her position as an officer or
director of Paradigm or NewLogic, as applicable, on access to information
arising from such position (unless it can be demonstrated that in fact such
access was used by such party seeking indemnification to obtain such
information) or on any lack of investigation by such party seeking
indemnification. Each Securityholder's maximum obligation for any Damages
relating to any fraud or willful misrepresentation claim arising under this
paragraph shall be limited to the aggregate Stock Consideration and other
proceeds received or to be received by such Securityholder pursuant to Article
of this Agreement, but including only any consideration actually earned pursuant
to
-48-
Article at the time of the calculation of Damages. Paradigm's maximum liability
for any Damages relating to any fraud or willful misrepresentation claim arising
under this paragraph shall be limited to the total consideration paid, or to be
paid, pursuant to Article of this Agreement, but including only any
consideration actually paid pursuant to Article at the time of the calculation
of Damages.
(f) Notwithstanding the expiration date of the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, if a party shall notify
the other with respect to the submission of a claim during the time period of
survivability of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, such
party's liability for Damages shall continue in full force and effect until
settled to the other party's satisfaction with respect to those claims timely
made.
13.3 Procedure for Indemnification with Respect to Third-Party Claims.
(a) If any Paradigm or Securityholder Released Party determines to seek
indemnification under this Article with respect to Identifiable Claims (the
party seeking such indemnification hereinafter referred to as the "Indemnified
Party" and the party against whom such indemnification is sought is hereinafter
referred to as the "Indemnifying Party") resulting from the assertion of
liability by third parties, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to
the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days of the Indemnified Party becoming
aware of any such Identifiable Claim or of facts upon which any such
Identifiable Claim will be based; the notice shall set forth such material
information with respect thereto as is then reasonably available to the
Indemnified Party; provided, however, that such written notice shall be
effective only if delivered to the Indemnifying Party before the termination,
pursuant to Sections 13.1 and 13.2 hereof, of the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements upon which such Identifiable Claim(s) are based. All
Indemnifiable Claims made by Paradigm shall also be communicated to the Escrow
Agent as provided in the Escrow Agreement. In case any such liability is
asserted against the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, if it so
elects by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20)
days after receiving the Indemnified Party's notice, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the Indemnified Party shall also have the right to employ its own
counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnified Party shall
reasonably determine that there is a conflict of interest between the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Identifiable
Claim, in which case the fees and expenses of such counsel will be borne by the
Indemnifying Party, (ii) the
-49-
Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to give any notice of any
assertion of liability by a third party unless such assertion is in writing and
(iii) the rights of the Indemnified Party to be indemnified hereunder in respect
of Identifiable Claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third
parties shall not be adversely affected by its failure to give notice pursuant
to the foregoing unless, and, if so, only to the extent that, the Indemnifying
Party is materially prejudiced thereby. With respect to any assertion of
liability by a third party that results in an Identifiable Claim, the parties
hereto shall make available to each other all relevant information in their
possession material to any such assertion.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party, within twenty (20) days
after receipt of the aforesaid notice of an Identifiable Claim, fails to assume
the defense of the Indemnified Party against such Identifiable Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise, or
settlement of such action on behalf of and for the account and risk of the
Indemnifying Party.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if there
is a reasonable probability that an Identifiable Claim may materially and
adversely affect the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to participate, at its own cost and expense, in such defense, compromise,
or settlement and the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified
Party's written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
settle or compromise any Identifiable Claim or consent to entry of any judgment
in respect thereof unless such settlement, compromise, or consent includes as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the
Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such Identifiable
Claim.
13.4 Procedure For Indemnification with Respect to Non-Third Party
Claims. In the event that the Indemnified Party asserts the existence of a claim
giving rise to Damages (but excluding claims resulting from the assertion of
liability by third parties), it shall give written notice to the Indemnifying
Party. Such written notice shall state that it is being given pursuant to this
Section 13.4, specify with particularity the nature and amount of the claim
asserted, accompanied by any written materials supporting such claim, and
indicate the date on which such assertion shall be deemed accepted and the
amount of the claim deemed a valid claim (such date to be established in
accordance with the next sentence); provided, however, that such written notice
shall be effective only if delivered to the Indemnifying Party before the
termination, pursuant to Sections 13.1 and 13.2 hereof, of the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements upon which such Identifiable Claim(s) are
based. If the Indemnifying Party, within thirty (30) days after the mailing of
notice by the Indemnified Party, shall not give written notice to the
Indemnified Party announcing its
-50-
intent to contest such assertion of the Indemnified Party, such assertion shall
be deemed accepted and the amount of claim shall be deemed a valid claim. In the
event, however, that the Indemnifying Party contests the assertion of a claim by
giving such written notice to the Indemnified Party within said period, then the
parties shall act in good faith to reach agreement regarding such claim. If the
parties to this Agreement, acting in good faith, cannot reach agreement with
respect to such claim within fifteen (15) days after such notice, then the
parties may pursue other legal or equitable remedies in accordance with Section
hereof.
