Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.

Employee Profit Sharing Plan

 

The
Employee Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) of Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.
(the “Company”) was adopted by the Board of Directors in 1995. Certain aspects
of the Plan were revised by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors on January 23, 2006. The Plan as revised is as follows:

 

Any
profit sharing bonus will be based on financial performance for the periods
January 1 through June 30 and July 1 through December 31. Adjusted Operating
Profit will be calculated as Operating Profit plus any expenses booked as
result of the application of SFAS 123(R) less any amounts calculated for the
Profit Sharing Pool. The Adjusted Operating Margin is calculated by dividing
the Adjusted Operating Profit by Net Revenue for the same six month period. The
Profit Sharing Pool will be determined by multiplying the Profit Sharing Ratio
by the Adjusted Operating Profit. The Profit Sharing Pool will be calculated
based on the following table:

Management
may recommend to the Board of Director or the Compensation Committee that the
Profit Sharing Pool may be reduced based upon the Company’s profitability, the
Company’s sales returns performance, individual MBO performance or other
factors deemed relevant by management. Management shall recommend to the Board
of Directors or the Compensation Committee the distribution of the Profit
Sharing Pool to Company employees which distribution may be based upon salary,
performance, longevity or other factors considered relevant by management. Employees
covered by other compensation plans may be excluded from the Plan at management’s
recommendation to the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

 

Any payments under the
Profit Sharing Plan shall be approved by and made on such schedule and at such
times as may be approved by the Board of Directors or the Compensation
Committee each in their discretion.

 

Participation in the Plan
shall not alter in any way the at-will nature of the employment of an employee,
and such employment may be terminated at any time for any reason, with or
without cause and with or without prior notice.

 

The Board of Directors or
the Compensation Committee may amend, suspend, modify the terms of, or
terminate the Plan at any time.

 

The
Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California.Exhibit 10.54

forth in this Agreement, such party or Subsidiary shall, before responding
thereto, provide the other parties with prior written notice of such subpoena,
legal process, order or legal requirement in sufficient time (if reasonably
feasible) to permit the other parties the opportunity to object (or, if the
timing of such litigation makes advance notice impracticable, such notice is
provided within ten (10) days after such disclosure), to seek a court-entered
protective order or comparable court-ordered restriction, and shall reasonably
cooperate with the other parties in their efforts to obtain such protective
order and provided further that, the disclosing party shall seek to have the
disclosure of such terms and conditions restricted, as authorized or permitted
by the court, in the same manner as is the confidential information of other

(A) on a strictly limited, need-to-know basis, (B) when the party believes that
such transaction is reasonably likely to take place, and (C) on terms
applicable to other highly confidential information disclosed by such party in
connection with such transaction provided such terms prohibit disclosure,
prohibit use for any purpose other than as required for due diligence in
connection with the potential transaction and provide for reasonable care.
