               pending, or reasonably  foreseeable,  except for patents expiring

     consent at any time prior to the Closing;

          (ii) SYRIX may terminate  this  Agreement by giving  written notice to

     breach or (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before March 31,
     2004,  by reason of the failure of any  condition  precedent  under Section

     (c)  Indemnification   by  CTI   and   its   parent,   Dover   Technologies

     CTI and Dover  Technologies  International,  Inc.,  jointly and  severally,

from and against any  claims,  liabilities,  losses,  damages,  actions,  suits,
proceedings,   claims,  demands,   judgments,  costs  and  expenses,   including
reasonable  attorney's fees (any one such item being herein called a "Loss") and
all such items being herein collectively called "Losses") which are caused by or
arise out of:

          (i) any breach or default in the performance by CTI of any covenant or
     agreement of CTI contained herein or in any certificate  delivered pursuant
     hereto at the Closing;

          (ii) any breach of warranty or representation made by CTI contained in

     (d) Indemnification by SYRIX.

     SYRIX agrees to indemnify  and hold  harmless  CTI and its  Affiliates  and
their respective  officers,  directors,  successors and assigns ("CTI") from and

     hereto or thereto or at the Closing;

          (ii) any breach of warranty or representation  made by SYRIX contained
     in  Section  4 or in  any  certificate  delivered  pursuant  hereto  at the
     Closing;

<PAGE>

          (iii) the Assumed Liabilities; or

          (iv) SYRIX's  conduct of the business or the  operation and use of the
     Acquired  Assets,  in each case from and after the Closing.

     (e) Procedure, Notice of Claims.

          (i)  Any   indemnified   party  (the   "Indemnified   Party")  seeking
     indemnification  hereunder  shall,  within the relevant  limitation  period
     provided  for in this  Section,  give to the  party  obligated  to  provide
     indemnification  to such  Indemnified  Party (the  "Indemnifying  Party") a
     notice (a "Claim Notice")  describing in reasonable detail the facts giving
     rise to any claims for indemnification  hereunder and shall include in such
     Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the
     amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or
     any agreement,  certificate or instrument  executed  pursuant  hereto or in
     connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided,  that a Claim
     Notice in  respect  of any  action at law or suit in equity by or against a
     third  Person as to which  indemnification  will be  sought  shall be given
     promptly after the action or suit is commenced;  and provided further, that
     failure to give such notice  promptly  shall not  relieve the  Indemnifying
     Party of its obligations  hereunder except to the extent it shall have been
     prejudiced by such failure.

          (ii) The  Indemnifying  Party  shall have  twenty  (20) days after the
     giving of any Claim  Notice  pursuant  hereto to (i) agree to the amount or
     method  of  determination  set forth in the  Claim  Notice  and to pay such
     amount  to such  Indemnified  Party in  immediately  available  funds  (the
     "Dispute  Settlement")  or (ii) to  provide  such  Indemnified  Party  with
     written notice that it disagrees (and the reasons therefor) with the amount
     or method of  determination  set forth in the Claim  Notice  (the  "Dispute
     Notice").  Within a thirty (30) day period  after the giving of the Dispute
     Notice or if no such notice is given, the expiration of the twenty (20) day
     period set forth above without a Dispute  Settlement,  a representative  of
     each  Indemnifying  Party and such  Indemnified  Party shall negotiate in a
     bona fide attempt to resolve the matter without judicial  intervention (the
     "Negotiation  Period").  If, upon the expiration of the Negotiation Period,
     all of the Indemnified Party's claims in the Claim Notice are not resolved,
     the Indemnified Party may commence at any time thereafter such legal action
     or  proceedings  as it deems  appropriate  to enforce  the  indemnification
     obligation of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section.


(f) Procedure - Third Party Claims.

          (i) Promptly  after receipt by an  Indemnified  Party of notice of the
     commencement  of any proceeding  against it by a third Person ("Third Party
     Claim"),  such Indemnified Party will, if a claim for indemnification is to
     be made against an Indemnifying  Party,  provide to the Indemnifying  Party
     written notice of the  commencement  of such claim (together with copies of
     any  legal  papers   served)  but  the  failure  to  promptly   notify  the
     Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability
     that it may have to any  Indemnified  Party,  except to the extent that the
     Indemnifying  Party  demonstrates  that  the  defense  of  such  action  is
     prejudiced by the Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice.

                                       24
<PAGE>

          (ii) If any proceeding  referred to in this Section is brought against
     an Indemnified  Party and it gives notice to the Indemnifying  Party of the
     commencement of such proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to
     participate  in such  proceeding  and, to the extent that it wishes (unless
     (i) the  Indemnifying  Party  is also a party  to such  proceeding  and the
     Indemnified Party upon the advice of counsel reasonably  determines in good
     faith  that a  conflict  or  potential  conflict  exists  such  that  joint
     representation   would  be  inappropriate  under  applicable  standards  of
     professional  conduct,  or (ii) the  Indemnifying  Party  fails to  provide
     reasonable  assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to
     defend such  proceeding  and provide  indemnification  with respect to such
     proceeding),  to  assume  the  defense  of  such  proceeding  with  counsel
     reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the
     Indemnifying  Party to the Indemnified  Party of its election to assume the
     defense of such proceeding,  the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it
     diligently  conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under
     this  Section  for any fees of other  counsel  or any other  expenses  with
     respect  to the  defense  of such  proceeding,  in each  case  subsequently
     incurred by the  Indemnified  Party in connection  with the defense of such
     proceeding,   other  than  reasonable  costs  of   investigation.   If  the
     Indemnifying  Party  assumes  the  defense  of  a  Third  Party  Claim  and
     subsequently  determines  that the  Third  Party  Claim is not  subject  to
     indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party
     shall give prompt notice of such fact to the Indemnified Party, after which
     the  Indemnified  Party  shall  have the right to  reassume  control of the
     defense of such claim; provided, that the failure by the Indemnifying Party
     to promptly notify the Indemnified  Party of any such  determination  shall
     not result in any liability to the Indemnifying  Party except to the extent
     that the Indemnified Party demonstrates that the defense of such action has
     been prejudiced by the Indemnifying Party's failure to give such notice. If
     the  Indemnifying  Party  assumes  the  defense of a Third  Party Claim and
     subsequently  determines that such claim is not subject to  indemnification
     by the Indemnifying Party hereunder,  the Indemnifying Party shall have the
     right, following its delivery of the notice contemplated by the immediately
     preceding  sentence,  to withdraw  from such defense,  and such  withdrawal
     shall not result in any liability to the  Indemnifying  Party except to the
     extent that the  Indemnified  Party  demonstrates  that the defense of such
     action  has been  prejudiced  by the  timing  of the  Indemnifying  Party's
     withdrawal.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a proceeding,
     (x) no  compromise  or  settlement  of such  claims may be  effected by the
     Indemnifying  Party without the Indemnified  Party's consent (which consent
     will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless (A) there
     is no finding or admission of any  violation of law or any violation of the
     rights of any  Person  and no effect on any other  claims  that may be made
     against the Indemnified Party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary
     damages  that  are  paid  in full by the  Indemnifying  Party;  and (y) the
     Indemnified  Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or
     settlement of such claims  effected  without its consent as may be required
     pursuant to clause (x) above. If notice is given to an  Indemnifying  Party
     of the commencement of any proceeding and the Indemnifying  Party does not,
     within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Party's notice is given, give
     notice to the  Indemnified  Party of its  election to assume the defense of
     such proceeding or contest responsibility therefore, the Indemnifying Party
     will  be  bound  by  any  determination  made  in  such  proceeding  or any
     compromise or  settlement  effected by the  Indemnified  Party to which the
     Indemnifying  Party  consents,   which  consent  may  not  be  unreasonably
     withheld, delayed or conditioned.

                                       25
<PAGE>

          (iii)  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if the exclusive remedy sought
     under a Third Party Claim is for injunctive relief for which an Indemnified
     Party  may  be  liable,  the  Indemnified  Party  may,  by  notice  to  the
     Indemnifying  Party, assume the exclusive right to defend,  compromise,  or
     settle such proceeding,  but the Indemnifying Party,  although still liable
     for the payment of all reasonable legal fees,  costs and expenses  incurred
     in  connection  therewith,  will  not be bound  by any  determination  of a
     proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its
     consent which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  In
     addition,   if  a  Third  Party  Claim  seeks  both   injunctive  or  other
     non-monetary  relief and monetary  damages,  the Indemnified  Party may, by
     notice  to the  Indemnifying  Party,  participate  in the  defense  of such
     proceeding at its own cost.

          (iv)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained herein, the
     Indemnifying  Party shall not be  obligated to pay the fees and expenses of
     more than one counsel for the Indemnified Parties whenever the Indemnifying
     Party is required hereunder to pay the fees and expenses of counsel for the
     Indemnified Parties.

     (g)  Remedies.

     Except as otherwise  specifically provided in this Agreement,  the sole and
exclusive   remedy  of  the  parties   hereunder  shall  be  restricted  to  the
indemnification  rights set forth in this Section 8, provided,  however, that no
party hereto shall be deemed to have waived any rights, claims, causes of action
or  remedies  if and to the  extent  such  rights,  claims,  causes of action or
remedies may not be waived under Applicable Law or actual fraud is proven on the
part of a party by another party hereto.

     (h) Certain Limitations.

          (i)  Notwithstanding  any other  provision  in this  Agreement  to the
     contrary,  the parties to this Agreement  shall only be liable to indemnify
     each other for compensatory damages,  and,  accordingly,  in the absence of
     actual  fraud,  neither  party shall be entitled to recover  from the other
     special,  indirect,  punitive  or  consequential  damages  pursuant to this
     Section  unless and then only to the extent that the same are components of
     a  Third   Person  Claim  for  which  an   Indemnified   Party  is  seeking
     indemnification hereunder.

          (ii) No claim for  indemnification  under this Section  shall be valid
     and  assertable  unless such claim  involves  more than  $5,000  and,  when
     aggregated with all other claims asserted against the Indemnifying Party on
     the same date, is for an amount in excess of $150,000 in the aggregate (the
     "Deductible"),  it being understood that the Indemnifying  Party shall only
     be liable to indemnify  the  Indemnified  Party for the full amount of such
     losses in excess of the Deductible.

          (iii) In  connection  with any claim for  indemnification  under  this
     Section  relating to any warranty  costs or  liabilities,  the  Indemnified
     Party shall only be entitled to indemnification  for the direct cost of the
     labor and materials  incurred in connection with any warranty claim without
     allocation  of overhead or other  non-direct  expenses and only those costs
     incurred consistent with the past practice of CTI in the Ordinary Course of
     Business, including recordation.

          (iv) The amount of any losses  recoverable  by way of  indemnification
     pursuant  to  Section  8 shall be  calculated  (a) net of any  reserves  or
     accruals  for such losses on the Most Recent  Balance  Sheet and (b) net of
     the insurance proceeds,  net of any collection-related  expenses,  actually

                                       26
<PAGE>

     received by the  Indemnified  Party from a third party insurer with respect
     thereto or any  indemnification  or contribution  from any third Person. To
     the extent of any  indemnification  payment made by an  Indemnifying  Party
     hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to all corresponding claims
     that the  Indemnified  Party may have and otherwise  shall be subrogated to
     the rights of the  Indemnified  Party  against its  insurers  and any other
     person or security in respect of such  claims,  and the  Indemnified  Party
     shall reasonably  cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in seeking recovery
     under such claims.  The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to receive (or
     retain) any and all recoveries resulting from the exercise of any rights to
     which it has been  subrogated  (the  "Subrogated  Rights"),  other than any
     amounts in excess of the sum of (i) the corresponding  losses actually paid
     by the  Indemnifying  Party  to the  Indemnified  Party,  (ii) the fees and
     expenses  actually paid by the  Indemnifying  Party to any third parties in
     connection with the  investigation or defense of the matters giving rise to
     such corresponding  losses and (iii) the fees and expenses actually paid by
     the  Indemnifying  Party  to any  third  parties  in  connection  with  the
     investigation or prosecution of the Subrogated  Rights.  The failure of the
     Indemnified  Party to notify  timely any  applicable  insurance  carrier or
     potential third party  indemnitor of such claim or Loss shall not under any
     circumstances,  except if there is material  prejudice to the  Indemnifying
     Party,  constitute a breach of any covenant by the  Indemnified  Party,  or
     constitute a defense by the Indemnifying Party to, or off-set against,  any
     claim for indemnification by any Indemnified Party hereunder.

          (v)  It is  agreed  that  for  the  purpose  of  making  a  claim  for
     indemnification, the expiration of any one survival period, as set forth in
     this Section of certain representations and warranties shall not affect the
     ability  to make any claim for  indemnification  hereunder  under any other
     representations  and warranties  still surviving;  provided,  that no party
     shall be  entitled  to make a claim for  indemnification  more than once on
     account of the same facts and circumstances.

     (i)  Knowledge.  It shall not be a defense,  nor shall any party  hereto be
deemed to have waived or released or otherwise be estopped  from  asserting  any
claim for  indemnification for breach of a representation,  warranty,  covenant,
agreement,  or condition  because the Indemnified  Party had actual Knowledge of
such breach , default or condition prior to Closing.

          Section 9. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Sale Restrictions; Restrictive Covenant.

               (i)  During  the  period  commencing  on  the  Closing  Date  and
          continuing until the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, neither
          CTI nor Dover Technologies  International,  Inc. will compete directly
          or  indirectly  through  the  development  or  acquisition  of similar
          packaging, topography or circuitry of products of the current business
          of CTI in any  markets  in which  CTI now or  hereafter  conducts  its
          business. The current business of CTI is described as follows:  Direct
          and indirect synthesizers,  Phase locked and free running DRO's, Phase
          locked  oscillators  above 2GHz, and Free running  sources above 2GHz.
          However,  this  restrictive  covenant will not have any limitations on
          Dover  Technologies  International,   Inc.,  through  its  operational
          subsidiary  Vectron  Technologies,  from its  ability to  continue  to
          develop  and  build  upon  their  quartz  SAW and BAW  technology  and
          products and expand frequency range and integration capabilities up to
          3GHz.

<PAGE>

               (ii) The  parties  hereto  agree that the  duration  and area for
          which the covenant not to compete set forth in this Section 9 is to be
          effective are reasonable.  In the event that any court determines that
          the time period or the area or both of them, are unreasonable and that
          such  covenant is to that  extent  unenforceable,  the parties  hereto
          agree that the covenant  shall remain in full force and effect for the
          greatest time period and in the greatest area that would not render it
          unenforceable.  The parties  intend that this covenant shall be deemed
          to be series of separate  covenants  one for each and every  county of
          each and every  state of the  United  States of  America  and each and
          every  political  subdivision of each and every country outside of the
          United  States of  America  where  this  covenant  is  intended  to be
          effective.  The parties  hereto agree that  damages are an  inadequate
          remedy for any breach of this covenant and that CTI shall,  whether or
          not it is  pursuing  any  potential  remedies  at law,  be entitled to
          equitable  relief in the form of preliminary or permanent  injunctions
          upon any actual or threatened breach of this covenant.

     (b) No Solicitation.

For a period of two (2) years  following the Closing  Date,  except as expressly
permitted or required  pursuant to this  Agreement,  CTI and Dover  Technologies
International,  Inc. shall refrain from, either alone or in conjunction with any
other Person,  directly or  indirectly,  soliciting  for hire any of the current
employees  of CTI while such person is an  employee of SYRIX or its  Affiliates;
provided,  that CTI shall not be prohibited from responding to and/or hiring any
such person in response to an unsolicited inquiry. The use of general employment
advertisements, or employment agencies or search firms that are not specifically
directed to recruit employees of SYRIX or its Affiliates, shall not be deemed to
be a solicitation hereunder.

     (c) Press Releases and Public Announcements. No Party shall issue any press
release or make any public  announcement  relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party,  which approval
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld  or delayed,  except that no such  approval
shall be necessary to the extent  disclosure  is required by  Applicable  Law or
applicable stock exchange rules or any listing agreement of any party hereto.

     (d) No  Third-Party  Beneficiaries.  This  Agreement  shall not  confer any
rights or remedies  upon any Person other than the Parties and their  respective
successors and permitted assigns.

     (e) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement  (including the documents referred to
herein)  constitutes  the entire  agreement among the Parties and supersedes any
prior  understandings,  agreements,  or representations by or among the Parties,
written or oral,  to the extent  they  relate in any way to the  subject  matter
hereof.

     (f) Succession  and  Assignment.  This Agreement  shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors
and permitted  assigns.  No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its
rights,  interests,  or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval
of the other Party;  provided,  however, that SYRIX may (i) assign any or all of
its rights and  interests  hereunder to one or more of its  Affiliates  and (ii)
designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder (in
any or all of which cases SYRIX  nonetheless shall remain liable and responsible
for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder).

     (k) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement
shall be valid  unless the same shall be in writing and signed by SYRIX and CTI.
No  waiver  by any  Party of any  provision  of the  Agreement  or any  default,
misrepresentation,   or  breach  of  warranty  or  covenant  hereunder,  whether
intentional  or not,  shall be valid  unless the same  shall be in  writing  and
signed by the Party making such waiver nor shall such waiver 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.

     (l)  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.

     (m) Expenses.  Each of the Parties will bear his, her, or its own costs and
expenses  (including  legal fees and expenses)  incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (except as otherwise provided
herein).

     (n) Construction.  The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation
and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent
or  interpretation  arises,  this  Agreement  shall be  construed  as if drafted
jointly  by the  Parties  and no  presumption  or  burden of proof  shall  arise
favoring  or  disfavoring  any Party by virtue of the  authorship  of any of the
provisions of this  Agreement.  Any reference to any federal,  state,  local, or
foreign  statute  or law  shall  be  deemed  also  to  refer  to all  rules  and
regulations promulgated thereunder,  unless the context requires otherwise.  The
word "including" shall mean including without limitation.

     (o) Governing Language.  This Agreement has been negotiated and executed by
the  Parties in  English.  In the event any  translation  of this  Agreement  is
prepared for  convenience  or any other  purpose,  the provisions of the English
version shall prevail.

     (p) Post Closing ISRA Compliance.

          (i) On and after the Closing,  if CTI uses a Remediation  Agreement to
     achieve  ISRA  Closing  Compliance,  CTI  shall  only  be  responsible  for
     achieving ISRA Compliance (as hereinafter defined) concerning contamination
     by  hazardous  substances  existing  as of the  Closing or if caused by CTI
     after Closing. SYRIX expressly agrees to allow the New Jersey Department of
     Environmental Protection, CTI, previous owner, previous operator, any other
     person subject to the Remediation  Agreement,  and any of their  respective
     agents,   employees  or  assignees  the  right  to  enter  the   industrial
     establishment after the Closing.  The term "ISRA Compliance" as used herein
     shall mean that CTI shall have received (a) a no further action letter from
     the DEP approving  CTI's negative  declaration;  or (b) a no further action
     letter  from the DEP  approving  the  implementation  of the ISRA  remedial
     action workplan (either (a) or (b) the "No Further Action  Letter").  After
     Closing,  SYRIX  shall not  unreasonably  interfere  with or  prohibit  the
     achievement of ISRA Compliance.

          (ii) SYRIX  shall be liable  for any  contamination  on, at,  under or
     emanating  from the  Leased  Real  Property  by any  hazardous  substances,
     including  the  costs   incurred  to  achieve  ISRA   Compliance  for  such
     contamination, which occurs on or after the Closing unless caused by CTI.

                                       30
<PAGE>

          (iii) So long as CTI uses reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with
     SYRIX's  operations on the Leased Real Property,  SYRIX waives any right it
     may have now or in the  future to assert  any  claim on its  behalf,  or on
     behalf of any third  party,  against CTI arising from or in any way related
     to interference with the right to the quiet use and enjoyment of the Leased
     Real Property,  including,  without  limitation,  loss of income,  rents or
     profits, arising from the effort to achieve ISRA Compliance.

          (iv) CTI shall be solely responsible for all proposals,  negotiations,
     discussions and agreements  with the DEP pursuant to ISRA.  SYRIX shall not
     propose to or negotiate  with the DEP pertaining to CTI's efforts to comply
     with ISRA.  SYRIX shall  reasonably  cooperate with CTI in CTI's efforts to
     achieve ISRA Compliance, including, without limitation the execution of any
     and all documents which must be executed by SYRIX. SYRIX agrees that the No
     Further  Action  Letter  may be  subject  to (i)  engineering  controls  or
     institutional controls as defined in N.J.S.A.  58:10B-1 and the regulations
     promulgated  thereunder and any successor  legislation  or regulations  and
     (ii) a  classification  exception area and well use restriction area on the
     Leased Real Property  either  before or after the Closing,  so long as said
     engineering controls, institutional controls, classification exception area
     and well use  restriction  area ("ISRA Response  Activities")  arise out of
     CTI's efforts to comply with ISRA or Environmental  Laws provided said ISRA
     Response  Activities do not materially  adversely  affect SYRIX's  business
     activities and use of the Leased Real  Property.  CTI shall not be required
     to clean up the Leased Real  Property to a standard  more strict than those
     standards applicable to non-residential  property, if that is acceptable to
     DEP.

          (v) The provisions of this Section 9(p) shall survive the Closing.

          (vi) In the event of a  conflict  between  this  Section  9(p) and any
     other  provision of this  Agreement,  the  provisions  of this Section 9(p)
     shall control.

          (q) Employee  Service  Years.  After the Closing SYRIX agrees to award
     each CTI employee  with the same years of service  credit as that  employee
     has with CTI for the purposes of  participating  in SYRIX Employee  Benefit
     Plans after the Closing.
