The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the termination of his employment or service shall (except as may otherwise be provided in the 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 the date of his termination of employment or service.

     8. Settlement of Award. The Award, if earned and vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, shall be payable in whole shares of Common Stock.

The Participant shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber the Shares subject to the Award until all conditions to vesting have been met.

     11. Withholding; Tax Consequences.

     (a) The Participant acknowledges that the Corporation shall require the Participant to pay the Corporation 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 Corporation to such authority for the account of the Participant, and the Participant agrees, as a condition to the grant of the Award, to satisfy such obligations. 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 federal, state, local, foreign or other tax and securities laws, rules and regulations or applicable policies of the Corporation implemented to ensure compliance with such laws (including but not limited to insider trading provisions and the Corporation’s insider trading 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.

     (b) The Participant acknowledges that the Corporation 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 Corporation or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and that the Participant has been advised that he should consult with his 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 Corporation 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. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Administrator and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding.

     13. Superseding Agreement; Binding Effect. This Agreement supersedes any statements, representations or agreements of the Corporation 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 Section 18 of the Plan, this Agreement does not supersede or amend any existing Change in Control Agreement, Inventions, Confidentiality and Nonsolicitations 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 and Termination; 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 the Agreement (without Participant consent) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or changes to applicable law (including but not limited to Code Section 409A). The waiver by the Corporation of a breach of any provision of the 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 Corporation’s records, or if to the Corporation, at the Corporation’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 Corporation may impose such restrictions on the Award and any Shares issued pursuant to 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 or state securities laws applicable to such Award or Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation 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 all applicable laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to the requirements of the Securities Act). The Corporation 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 laws and regulations 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 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 Corporation, 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; provided, however, that any such delay, suspension, tolling or extension shall not apply to any Shares subject to an effective Rule 10b5-b 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.
