3. Award Opportunity; Incorporation of the Terms of Schedule A and Schedule B of the Agreement.

(a) The Company hereby grants to the Participant an opportunity to be granted the Award for a certain number of shares of Common Stock (as defined above, the “Shares”) based upon the level of attainment of the Performance Objectives, all as described in Schedule A and Schedule B, during the Performance Period. The number, if any, of Shares of Common Stock subject to the Award shall be determined by the Administrator based on the achievement of the Performance Objectives described in Schedule B. No Award of Shares is being granted at this time, and no Award shall be granted unless and until the Administrator, in its sole discretion and in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, determines whether and to what extent the Award has been earned (including but not limited to determining whether and to what extent the Performance Objectives have been met), determines the number of Shares that shall be subject to the Award and takes any other action it deems necessary or advisable in order to complete the grant.

(b) The Participant expressly acknowledges that the terms of Schedule A and Schedule B shall be incorporated herein by reference and shall constitute part of this Agreement. The Company and the Participant further acknowledge that the Company’s signature on the signature page hereof, and the Participant’s signature on the Grant Letter contained in Schedule A, shall constitute their acceptance of all of the terms of this Agreement.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company shall grant the Participant an Award of Restricted Stock Units (as defined above, the “Award”) for that number of Shares of Common Stock as is determined in accordance with Schedule A and Schedule B if and only if the minimum (and up to the maximum) of the Performance Objectives are met during the Performance Period, as further described in Schedule A and Schedule B. The number of Shares, if any, subject to the Award shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement (including Schedule A and Schedule B) following completion of the applicable Performance Period. The Award Date shall be as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Performance Period and the Administrator’s determination of the extent, if any, to which the Performance Objectives have been met and the Award has been earned. The Award shall not be deemed earned, and the Award Date shall not occur, unless and until the Administrator determines the extent, if any to which the Award has been earned following completion of the applicable Performance Period (unless the Administrator determines otherwise).

5. Shareholder Rights. The Participant or his or her legal representatives, legatees or distributees shall not be deemed to be the holder of any Shares subject to the Award and shall not have any dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a shareholder unless and until (and then only to the extent that) the Award has been earned and vested and certificates for such Shares have been issued and delivered to him or them (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, other written evidence of ownership in accordance with Applicable Law shall have been provided).

6. Vesting of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Shares subject to the Award shall be deemed vested, and such Shares shall be distributable as provided in Section 8 herein, upon such date or dates, and subject to such conditions, as are described in this Agreement, including Section 3 of Schedule A. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Shares subject to the Award may vest in installments over a period of time, if so provided in Schedule A. The Participant expressly acknowledges that the Award shall vest only upon such terms and conditions as are provided in this Agreement (including Schedule A and Schedule B) and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall be entitled to the greater of the benefits provided in this Agreement and any Change in Control Agreement, Employment Agreement or any other similar agreement between the Participant and the Company with respect to the terms governing the earning and vesting of the Award. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Participant understands and agrees that the Administrator may delay the vesting of the Award (or portion thereof) and the issuance of the underlying Shares in order to comply with Applicable Law or applicable policies of the Company implemented to ensure compliance with such laws (including but not limited to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx provisions and the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy); provided, however, that any such delay in vesting of the Award or issuance of Shares shall not apply to any Shares subject to an effective Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The Administrator has sole authority to determine whether and to what degree the Award has been earned and vested and to interpret the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

7. Effect of Termination of Employment; Forfeiture of Award. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement (including but not limited to Schedule A), in the event that the employment or service of the Participant is terminated for any reason (whether by the Company or the Participant, and whether voluntary or involuntary) and all or part of the Award has not been earned and vested as of the Participant’s Termination Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the Award, to the extent not earned and vested as of the Participant’s Termination Date, shall be forfeited immediately upon such termination, and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to the Award or the Shares underlying that portion of the Award that has not yet been earned and vested. The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the termination of his or her employment or service shall (except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement or the Plan) result in forfeiture of the Award and the Shares to the extent the Award has not been earned and vested as of his or her Termination Date.

8. Settlement of Award. The Award, if earned and vested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be payable in whole shares of Common Stock. The total number of Shares that may be acquired upon vesting of the Award (or portion thereof) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. A certificate or certificates representing the Shares subject to the Award (or portion thereof) shall be issued in the name of the Participant or his or her beneficiary (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, other written evidence of ownership in accordance with Applicable Law shall be provided) as soon as practicable after, and only to the extent that, the Award (or portion thereof) has vested and is distributable. Shares of Common Stock or any other benefit subject to the Award shall, upon vesting of the Award (and except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b)(iv) of Schedule A), be issued and distributed to the Participant (or his or her beneficiary) no later than the later of (a) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third month following the Participant’s first taxable year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (b) the fifteenth

3

(15th) day of the third month following the end of the Company’s first taxable year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or otherwise in accordance with Code Section 409A.

9. No Right of Continued Employment or Service. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or an Affiliate or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan and this Agreement (including but not limited to Schedule A), all rights of the Participant under the Plan with respect to the unearned or unvested portion of his or her Award shall terminate upon the termination of employment or service of the Participant with the Company or an Affiliate. The grant of the Award does not create any obligation to grant further awards.

10. Nontransferability of Award and Shares. The Award shall not be transferable (including by sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation) other than by will or the laws of intestate succession. The designation of a beneficiary does not constitute a transfer. The Participant shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber the Shares subject to the Award until such Shares have been issued and delivered to the Participant.

11. Withholding; Tax Consequences.

(a) The Participant acknowledges that the Company shall require the Participant to pay the Company the amount of any federal, state, local, foreign or other tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company to such authority for the account of the Participant, and the Participant agrees, as a condition to the grant of the Award and delivery of any Shares, to satisfy such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may in its discretion establish procedures to permit the Participant to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income tax obligations relating to the Award, by electing (the “election”) to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock from the Shares to which the recipient is otherwise entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined as nearly equal as possible to (but not exceeding) the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing to the Administrator in accordance with election procedures established by the Administrator.

(b) The Participant acknowledges that the Company has made no warranties or representations to the Participant with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Participant is in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant or vesting of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and that he or she has been advised that he or she should consult with his or her own attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this Agreement and the consequences thereof. The Participant also acknowledges that the Company has no responsibility to take or refrain from taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax result for the Participant.

12. Administration. The authority to construe and interpret this Agreement and the Plan, and to administer all aspects of the Plan, shall be vested in the Administrator, and the Administrator shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as are provided in the Plan, including but not limited to the sole authority to determine whether and to what degree the Award has been earned and vested. Any interpretation

4

of this Agreement by the Administrator and any decision made by it with respect to this Agreement is final and binding.

13. Superseding Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement supersedes any statements, representations or agreements of the Company with respect to the grant of the Award or any related rights, and the Participant hereby waives any rights or claims related to any such statements, representations or agreements. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Plan or expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement does not supersede or amend any existing Change in Control Agreement, Inventions, Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement, Noncompetition Agreement, Severance Agreement, Employment Agreement or any other similar agreement between the Participant and the Company, including, but not limited to, any restrictive covenants contained in such agreements. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective executors, administrators, next-of-kin, successors and assigns.

14. Governing Law. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or herein, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions of any state, and in accordance with applicable federal laws of the United States.

15. Amendment; Waiver. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, this Agreement may be modified or amended only by the written agreement of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have unilateral authority to amend this Agreement (without Participant consent) to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law or changes to Applicable Law (including but not limited to federal securities laws and Code Section 409A). The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Participant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant.

16. Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided by the Plan, any written notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business days after mailed but in no event later than the date of actual receipt. Notice may also be provided by electronic submission, if and to the extent permitted by the Administrator. Notices shall be directed, if to the Participant, at the Participant’s address indicated by the Company’s records, or if to the Company, at the Company’s principal office, attention Treasurer, RF Micro Devices, Inc.

17. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions may be determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

18. Restrictions on Award and Shares. The Company may impose such restrictions on the Award and any Shares or other benefits underlying the Award as it may deem advisable, including without limitation restrictions under the federal securities laws, the requirements of any stock exchange or similar organization and any blue sky, state or foreign securities laws applicable to such Award or Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to issue, deliver or transfer shares of Common Stock, to make any other distribution of benefits, or to take any other action, unless such delivery, distribution or action is in compliance with Applicable Law (including but not limited to the requirements of the Securities Act). The Company may cause a restrictive legend to be placed on any certificate for Shares issued pursuant to the Award in such form as may be prescribed from time to time by Applicable Law or as may be advised by legal counsel. The Administrator may delay the right to receive or dispose of shares of Common Stock (or other benefits) upon settlement of the Award at any time

5

if the Administrator determines that allowing issuance of shares of Common Stock (or distribution of other benefits) would violate any federal, state or foreign securities laws or applicable policies of the Company, and the Administrator may provide in its discretion that any time periods to receive shares of Common Stock (or other benefits) subject to the Award are tolled or extended during a period of suspension or delay (subject to any Code Section 409A considerations); provided, however, that any such delay, suspension, tolling or extension shall not apply to any Shares subject to an effective Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.

19. Counterparts; Further Instruments. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties hereto agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

20. Compliance with Recoupment, Ownership and Other Policies or Agreements. As a condition to receiving this Award, the Participant agrees that he or she shall abide by all provisions of any equity retention policy, compensation recovery policy, stock ownership guidelines and/or other similar policies maintained by the Company, each as in effect from time to time and to the extent applicable to Participant from time to time. In addition, the Participant shall be subject to such compensation recovery, recoupment, forfeiture, or other similar provisions as may apply at any time to the Participant under Applicable Law.
