deemed earned as to the greater of (a) the “Target” level of shares for such award or (b)

the day prior to the date of such Change of Control, and such shares shall be issued by
the Company to you immediately prior to such Change of Control transaction.
4. | Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation |
During the term of your employment with Skyworks and for the first twenty-four (24) months
after the date on which your employment with Skyworks is terminated for any reason (the
“Noncompete Period”), you will not engage in any employment, consulting or other activity
that competes with the business of Skyworks or any subsidiary or affiliate of Skyworks
(collectively, the “Company”). You acknowledge and agree that your direct or indirect
participation in the conduct of a competing business alone or with any other person will
materially impair the business and prospects of the Company. During the Noncompete Period,
you will not, either directly or indirectly, (i) attempt to
5
Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx
January 22, 2008
Page 6
January 22, 2008
Page 6
hire any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, (ii) assist in such hiring by
any other person, (iii) encourage any person to terminate his or her employment or business
relationship with the Company, (iv) not disrupt or interfere (or attempt to disrupt or
interfere) with the Company’s relationships with it employees, (v) encourage any customer
or supplier of the Company to terminate its relationship with the Company, or (vi) obtain,
or assist in obtaining, for your own benefit (other than indirectly as an employee of the
Company) any customer of the Company. If any of the restrictions in this Section 4 are
adjudicated to be excessively broad as to scope, geographic area, time or otherwise, said
restriction shall be reduced to the extent necessary to make the restriction reasonable and
shall be binding on you as so reduced. Any provisions of this section not so reduced will
remain in full force and effect.
It is understood that during the Noncompete Period, you will make yourself available to
Skyworks for consultation on behalf of Skyworks, upon reasonable request and at a
reasonable rate of compensation and at reasonable times and places in light of any
commitment you may have to a new employer.
You understand and acknowledge that Skyworks’ remedies at law for breach of any of the
restrictions in this Section 4 are inadequate and that any such breach will cause
irreparable harm to Skyworks. You therefore agree that in addition and as a supplement to
such other rights and remedies as may exist in Skyworks’ favor, Skyworks may apply to any
court having jurisdiction to enforce the specific performance of the restrictions in this
Section 4, and may apply for injunctive relief against any act which would violate those
restrictions.
5. | Death; Disability |
In the event of your death at any time during your employment by Skyworks, all of your
then outstanding Company stock options, whether or not by their terms then exercisable,
will become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable for a period of one year
thereafter, subject to their other terms and conditions.
In the event of your disability at any time during your employment by Skyworks, all of
your then outstanding Company stock options, whether or not by their terms then
exercisable, will become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable so long as you
remain an employee or officer of Skyworks and for a period of one year thereafter, subject
to their other terms and conditions.
6. | Release of Claims |
Skyworks shall have no obligation to make any payments or provide any benefits pursuant to
either Section 1.4 or Section 2.3, as applicable, unless (i) you agree to sign and
deliver to the General Counsel of Skyworks a release of claims in
6
Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx
January 22, 2008
Page 7
January 22, 2008
Page 7
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) and (ii) the Release
has become non-revocable by the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination of
your employment.
7. | Term |
This Agreement shall be effective for an initial term of two (2) years from the date
hereof (the “Initial Term”); provided however, that (i) if your employment terminates
within the Initial Term, this Agreement shall remain in effect until all of your and
Skyworks’ obligations hereunder have been fully satisfied. Following the Initial Term,
this Agreement shall renew automatically on the anniversary hereof for up to five (5)
additional one (1) year periods (each an “Additional Term”) unless, at least ninety (90)
days prior to the end of the then current term of the Agreement, either party provides
written notice to the other party that the Agreement should not be extended, and (ii) if
your employment terminates during any Additional Term, this Agreement shall remain in
effect until all of your and Skyworks’ obligations hereunder have been fully satisfied.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, your obligations pursuant to Section 4
shall survive any termination of this Agreement and extend throughout the Noncompete
Period.
8. | Miscellaneous |
All claims by you for benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by
the Board of Skyworks and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Board of a claim for
benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to you in writing and shall set forth the
specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon.
The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to you for a review of the decision denying
a claim. Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts, in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment
may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. Skyworks agrees
to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal, accounting and other
fees and expenses which you may reasonably incur as a result of any claim or contest
(regardless of the outcome thereof) by Skyworks, you or others regarding the validity or
enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of
performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by you regarding the amount of
any payment or benefits pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any
delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the
Code. Notwithstanding anything in this letter to the contrary, (a) no provision of this
letter will operate to extend the life of any option beyond the term originally stated in
the applicable option grant or option agreement; (b) the reimbursement of a fee or expense
7
Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx
January 22, 2008
Page 8
January 22, 2008
Page 8
pursuant to this Section 8 shall be provided not later than the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the fee or expense was incurred, (c) the amount of fees and expenses
eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year may not affect the amount of fees and
expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (d) the right to
reimbursement under this Section 8 is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit and (e) the obligation of Skyworks under this Section 8 shall survive the
termination for any reason of this agreement and shall remain in effect until the applicable
statute of limitation has expired with respect to any claim or contest (regardless of the
outcome thereof) by Skyworks, you or others regarding the validity or enforceability of, or
liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof
(including as a result of any contest by you regarding the amount of any payment or benefits
pursuant to this Agreement).
This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and any related
regulations or other applicable guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section
409A”), to the extent applicable. It is the intent of the parties hereto that all severance
payments and benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement qualify as short-term deferrals,
as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(a)(4), separation pay due to an involuntary
separation from service under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), reimbursement of
medical benefits under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B), and/or limited payments,
as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(D), to the extent applicable. If (a)
it is determined that any payments or benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement that are
paid upon “separation from service” (as that term is used in Section 409A) constitute
deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A (after taking into account the
exceptions listed in the prior sentence and/or any other applicable exceptions) and (b) you
are a “specified employee” (as that term is used in Section 409A) when your employment
terminates, such payments or benefits (or portions thereof) that constitute deferred
compensation payable upon a separation from service that are to be paid or provided during
the six (6) month period following termination of your employment shall not be paid or
provided until the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following
termination of your employment or, if earlier, the first business day following the date of
your death. The payment that is made pursuant to the prior sentence shall include the
cumulative amount of any amounts that could not be paid during the six (6) month period.
Except as expressly provided in this Section 8, neither you nor Skyworks shall have the
right to accelerate or to defer the delivery of the payments to be made under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, references to
employment termination in Sections 1.4 or 2.3, as applicable, shall be interpreted to
mean “separation from service, “ as that term is used in Section 409A of the Code and
related regulations. Accordingly, payments
8
Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx
January 22, 2008
Page 9
January 22, 2008
Page 9
to be made under Section 1.4 or Section 2.3, as applicable, shall not be made unless a
separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and related
regulations) shall have occurred.
Skyworks may withhold (or cause to be withheld) from any payments made under this
Agreement, all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required to be withheld
pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.
The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Company (the “Acquisition”), as a condition precedent to the Acquisition, to
expressly assume and agree in writing, with a copy to you, to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform this
Agreement as if no such succession had taken place. You acknowledge and agree,
and the Company acknowledges and agrees, that, without limitation to any other provision of
this Agreement which is also “material”, this provision is a material term of this Agreement
and an important clause benefiting you, to assure you that the obligation of Skyworks to
provide you with the existing benefits made available under this Agreement, are adhered to
by any successor to the Company, and the provision also benefits the Company in that the
assurance to you afforded by this provision is an important retention incentive to have you
remain in the employment of the Company.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties concerning its subject
matter, and if there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of
any other agreement (including but not limited to an equity award held by you or the
applicable plan under which such award was issued), the terms of this Agreement shall
govern. You shall not be eligible to receive severance or similar payments under any
severance plan, program or policy maintained by Skyworks. This Agreement may be modified
only by a written instrument executed by both parties. This Agreement replaces and
supersedes all prior agreements relating to your employment or severance, including without
limitation the Agreement between you and Skyworks dated May 26, 2005. This Agreement will
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
