Consent, Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement



 Exhibit 10.4 
 CONSENT, ASSIGNMENT, ASSUMPTION AND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Consent, Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of November 9, 2009, by and among CHIPX INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (“ChipX”), GIGOPTIX, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“GigOptix”), and BRIDGE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. Bank and ChipX are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated
December 9, 2008 (the “Loan Agreement”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning assigned in the Loan Agreement. 
 B. ChipX and GigOptix have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on even date herewith (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of GigOptix will merge with and
into ChipX, with ChipX continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Loan Documents, Bank must consent to such Merger. 
 C. GigOptix desires to assume all obligations of ChipX under the Loan Documents (the “Assumption”). 
 D. GigOptix and ChipX have requested Bank’s consent to the Merger, and Bank desires to grant such consent, provided GigOptix assumes all obligations of ChipX under the Loan Documents to Bank in
accordance with this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as
follows: 
 1. Assumption. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, to the extent not already provided for in
the Merger Agreement or otherwise made effective as a consequence of the Merger, ChipX assigns to GigOptix, and GigOptix assumes, all obligations of ChipX, including, but not limited to, the payment of any amounts outstanding. GigOptix confirms that
effective upon the consummation of the Merger, to secure such performance, GigOptix grants Bank a security interest in its property described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Collateral”). 
 2. Amendment/Definitions. Upon the consummation of the Merger, any reference in the Loan Documents to Borrower, the undersigned or
other terms that refer to ChipX shall also mean and refer to GigOptix. Upon the consummation of the Merger, and until such time as the Loan Agreement is restructured to the mutual satisfaction of Bank and GigOptix, $1,000,000 of ChipX’s cash at
Bank shall be designated as restricted cash collateral to secure the outstanding Obligations under the Loan Agreement. Within five business days following the consummation of the Merger, ChipX and GigOptix shall execute Bank’s form of lockbox
agreement and commence the establishment of a lockbox account and facility satisfactory to Bank. Failure to do so shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. 
 3. Representations and Warranties. GigOptix confirms that the Representations and Warranties set forth in Article 5 of the Loan Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof and will remain
so after giving effect to the Merger. 
 4. Consent; Waiver. Bank consents to the merger of ChipX into GigOptix pursuant
to the Merger Agreement. 
 5. General Provisions. Except as provided above, the Loan Documents remain unchanged and the
parties hereby confirm that the Loan Documents as may be modified by this Agreement are in full force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when
executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California without regard to
conflict of laws principles.
