EXECUTION VERSION 

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT 

This Voting and Support Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 30, 2017, by and among
Keysight Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Ixia, a California corporation (the “Company”), and the shareholders of the Company set forth on Schedule A hereto (each a
“Shareholder” and, collectively the “Shareholders”, and together with Parent and the Company, the “parties”). 

WHEREAS, Parent and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from
time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent to be formed promptly after the date hereof (“Merger Sub”) with and into the Company
(the “Merger”), with the Company to survive the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the respective meanings specified in the Merger Agreement); 
 WHEREAS, each Shareholder beneficially owns (as such term is used in
Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) the number of shares of common stock, without par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule A
hereto as of the date hereof (the “Existing Shares”); and 
 WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent to enter
into the Merger Agreement and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, each Shareholder is entering into this Agreement. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound, the parties
hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

VOTING; GRANT AND APPOINTMENT OF PROXY 

Section 1.1       Voting.  From and after the date hereof until the earliest to occur
of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to and in compliance with the terms therein, (c) the Board of Directors of the Company effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and (d) the
entry without the prior written consent of the Shareholders into any amendment or modification of the Merger Agreement, or any written waiver of the Company’s rights under the Merger Agreement made in connection with a request from Parent, in
each case, which results in a decrease in, or change in the composition of, the Merger Consideration payable to any Shareholder (such earliest date, the “Expiration Date”), each Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally hereby
agrees that at any meeting (whether annual or special and each adjourned or postponed meeting) of the Company’s shareholders, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the Company’s shareholders, the Shareholder will
(i) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all of its Existing Shares and other shares of Common Stock over which it has acquired beneficial ownership after the date hereof 







 
(including any shares of Common Stock acquired by means of purchase, dividend or distribution, or issued upon the exercise of any stock options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock
or the conversion of any convertible securities or otherwise) (collectively, the “New Shares”, and together with the Existing Shares, the “Shares”), which it beneficially owns as of the applicable record date, to be
counted as present at the meeting for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) all such Shares (A) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the
principal terms of the Merger, (B) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of the Company’s shareholders to a later date if such adjournment or postponement is (1) with the written consent of Parent, (2) for
the absence of a quorum, (3) to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, or (4) as required by Law (in each such case only for a period of not more than thirty (30) calendar days,
individually or in the aggregate, and not past two (2) Business Days prior to the End Date), (C) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement in favor of an Acquisition Proposal, including a Superior Proposal, without regard to the
terms of such Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, (D) against any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of assets, reorganization or recapitalization of or involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (E) against
any sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (F) against any reorganization, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, (G) against any material change in the capitalization of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the corporate structure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (H) to the extent submitted to a shareholder
vote, against any change in the business management or Board of Directors of the Company (other than as directed by Parent) and (I) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that is intended to or would (1) result in an
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, or a breach of any covenant, or any other obligation or agreement, of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of a Shareholder contained in this Agreement, or (2) prevent, materially
impede, materially delay or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company’s, Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger (clauses
(A) through (I), the “Required Votes”). Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 1.1, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of each Shareholder to vote (including by proxy or written
consent, if applicable) in favor of, against or abstain with respect to any other matters presented to the Company’s shareholders. 

Section 1.2       Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of Proxy. 

(a) From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, each Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants to, and
appoints, Parent and any designee thereof as such Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in accordance with Section 705(e) of
the California General Corporation Law, for and in the name, place and stead of such Shareholder, to vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) the Shares owned by such Shareholder as of the applicable record
date in accordance with the Required Votes; provided that each Shareholder’s grant of the proxy contemplated by this Section 1.2 shall be effective if, and only if, such Shareholder has not delivered to the
Company prior to the meeting at which any of the matters described in Section 1.1 are to be considered, a duly executed irrevocable proxy card directing that the Shares of such Shareholder be voted in accordance with the Required
Votes; provided, 

  
 2 








 
further, that any grant of such proxy shall only entitle Parent or its designee to vote on the matters specified by Section 1.1(ii), and each Shareholder shall retain the authority
to vote on all other matters.  
 (b) Each Shareholder hereby represents that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Shares,
if any, are revocable, and hereby revokes all such proxies. 
 (c) Each Shareholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in
this Section 1.2, if it becomes effective, is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Shareholder under this
Agreement. The parties hereby further affirm that the irrevocable proxy, if it becomes effective, is coupled with an interest and is intended to be irrevocable until the Expiration Date, at which time it will terminate automatically, and any
underlying appointment shall automatically be revoked and rescinded and of no force and effect, in each case without further action by any party. The proxy granted by the Shareholders herein shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or
incapacity of any Shareholder. If for any reason any proxy granted herein is not irrevocable after it becomes effective, then the Shareholder granting such proxy agrees, until the Expiration Date, to vote, or to cause the holder of record on any
applicable record date to vote, the Shares in accordance with the Required Votes. The parties agree that the foregoing is a voting agreement. 

Section 1.3       Restrictions on Transfers. 

(a) Absent the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be granted or withheld in Parent’s sole discretion), each Shareholder
hereby agrees that, from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, it shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, assign, tender in any tender or exchange offer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or similarly dispose of (by merger, by
testamentary disposition, by operation of applicable Law or otherwise) (a “Transfer”), either voluntarily or involuntarily, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding providing for the Transfer of any Shares
(or any Rights attached thereto, or any economic interests therein), (ii) deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto, or (iii) agree
(whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions prohibited by the foregoing clause (i) or (ii). Any purported Transfer of Shares inconsistent with this Section 1.3 shall be null and void. 

(b) The restrictions set forth in Section 1.3(a) shall not apply to: (i) in the case of any Shareholder that is a natural person,
any Transfer of Shares by will or the laws of intestacy, or (ii) the Transfer of some or all Shares to any trust, partnership, corporation or limited liability company established and held for the direct or indirect benefit of the Shareholder
or his family members; provided that, in each case, the transferee shall concurrently with such Transfer execute a customary joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent agreeing to be a “Shareholder” hereunder if such
transferee is not already a party to this Agreement, and to perform all obligations as a Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Shares. 

  
 3 








 Section 1.4       Inconsistent
Agreements.  Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, it (a) shall not enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the
Shares and (b) shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to the Shares. 

ARTICLE II 
 NO SOLICITATION 

Section 2.1       No Solicitation. 

(a) Prior to the Expiration Date, each Shareholder (in its capacity as a shareholder of the Company) shall not, and shall cause (if
applicable) each of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers or employees not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit,
initiate, knowingly encourage, or knowingly facilitate any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in an Acquisition Proposal, or
the making or consummation thereof, (ii) other than to inform any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 2.1, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or
furnish to any Person any information in connection with, or enter into any Contract or other agreement or understanding with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information
that would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit any Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or
Representatives from participating in any discussions or negotiations with respect to such Shareholder’s willingness to enter into a voting agreement in connection with an Acquisition Proposal to the extent that the Company becomes permitted to
take the actions set forth in clause (i) and clause (ii) of Section 5.02(b) of the Merger Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal. Other than subject to the proviso in the foregoing sentence, from and after the execution of
this Agreement, each Shareholder shall, and shall cause (if applicable) each of its Affiliates and direct its and their respective Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any
Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in an Acquisition Proposal. 

(b) Prior to the Expiration Date, each Shareholder shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours following the date of receipt) advise
Parent and the Company in writing in the event that it or any of its Affiliates, any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors or employees or, to the Shareholders’ knowledge, any of its or its Affiliates’ other Representatives
receives any Acquisition Proposal, and in connection with such notice, provide to Parent and the Company the material terms and conditions (including the identity of the third party making any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request, and
copies of any related documentation, including any related financing commitments) of any such Acquisition Proposal. 
 (c) For purposes of
this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Merger Agreement; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of any of the Shareholders.

interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated (including by sale of stock, operation of applicable Law in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all the assets) by any of the parties hereto without the prior written

 Section 5.8       No Third-Party
Beneficiaries.  Each Shareholder and Parent agrees that (a) its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein are solely for the benefit of Parent (in the case of a Shareholder) or each Shareholder (in the
case of Parent), in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right

Section 5.9       Jurisdiction; Specific Enforcement; Waiver of Trial by Jury. 

(a)      Each party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal court in the Central District
of California and any appellate courts therefrom, or if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (the “Chosen
Courts”), for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceedings brought in such court. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or argue in any such court (i) that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with applicable Law, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts or from any legal
process commenced in the Chosen Courts (including but not limited to service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law that (X) the suit, action, or proceeding in the Chosen Courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, (Y) the venue of such suit, action, or proceeding is improper, and (Z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may
not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts. Each party agrees that notice or the service of process in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be properly served or delivered if delivered
in the manner contemplated by Section 5.3 or in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. 

(b)      EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

Section 5.10     Specific Performance; Remedies.  Each of the Shareholders agrees and
acknowledges that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each of the Shareholders accordingly agrees that, without
posting bond or other undertaking, Parent shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent
jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Shareholder will allege, and each
Shareholder hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. 

  
 10 








 Section 5.11      Governing Law.  This
Agreement and any Actions arising out of or related to this Agreement or to the inducement of any party hereto to enter into this Agreement (whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute
or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable Law of the State of Delaware, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would
refer a matter to the laws of another jurisdiction; provided that matters relating to the Merger and the exercise of the dissenters’ rights shall be governed by the applicable Law of the State of California. 

Section 5.12      Non-Survival of Representations and
Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Shareholders contained herein shall not survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement.

for convenience of the parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever. 

Section 5.14      Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to an
Article, Section or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, Section or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this
Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this
Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “extent” and the phrase “to the extent” when used in this Agreement shall mean the degree to which a
subject or other thing extends, and such word or phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the
feminine and neuter genders of such term. References in this Agreement to specific laws or to specific provisions of laws shall include all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any statute defined or referred to herein or in any
agreement or instrument referred to herein shall mean such statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor statutes. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation
of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue
of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 

Section 5.15      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof
signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party hereto has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether
by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). 

  
 11 








 
Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in PDF form, or by any other electronic means designed to preserve the original graphic and pictorial
appearance of a document, will be deemed to have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures. 

Section 5.16      Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is unenforceable and a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry
out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision. 

Section 5.17      No Agreement as Director or Officer.  Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, each Shareholder has entered into this Agreement in its capacity as a shareholder of the Company, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit, restrict or otherwise affect the ability of any Shareholder who is a
director or officer of the Company to act, refrain from acting or vote on any matter, in each case, in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Company, or be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict such Shareholder who is a director or
officer of the Company from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer to the Company or its shareholders under applicable Law, including by causing the Company to exercise its rights under the Merger Agreement. 

Section 5.18      Liability. The rights and obligations of each of the Shareholders under this
Agreement shall be several and not joint. All references to actions to be taken by the Shareholders, or representations and warranties to be made, under this Agreement refer to actions to be taken or representations and warranties to be made by
Shareholders acting severally and not jointly. Except for any liability for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations arising out of a Shareholder’s breach of or inaccuracy in its representations and warranties hereunder or
failure to perform its obligations hereunder, Parent agrees that no Shareholder (in its capacity as a shareholder of Company) will be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations resulting from or relating to the Merger
Agreement, including any breach by Company of the Merger Agreement, and that Company shall not be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations resulting from or related to any Shareholder’s breach of or inaccuracy in its
representations and warranties hereunder or failure to perform its obligations hereunder. Except for (i) any liability for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations arising out of Parent’s breach of or inaccuracy in its
representations and warranties hereunder or failure to perform its obligations hereunder and (ii) such Shareholder’s right to enforce the provisions of Section 5.06 (in his or her capacity as an Indemnified Party as defined in the
Merger Agreement) and Article 2 of the Merger Agreement in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Merger Agreement, each Shareholder agrees that Parent will not be liable to such Shareholder for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other
obligations resulting from or relating to the Merger Agreement. 
 Section 5.19      No Ownership
Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in any other person any direct or indirect ownership or incident of ownership of

or with respect to any Existing Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Existing Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the holder thereof, and no other
person shall have any authority to exercise any power or authority to direct any Shareholder in the voting of any of the Existing Shares except as provided in this Agreement.
