Re: Transition Letter

Dear Xxx:

As we have discussed, your employment with Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) will end as of May 31, 2017 (such date or the earlier date as of which your employment ends as provided herein, the “Separation Date”) with your resignation effective as of that date. This letter sets out the terms for your employment before the Separation Date. By signing and returning this letter agreement, you will be entering into a binding agreement with the Company and will be agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in the numbered sections below.

Transition Period - During the period from the date of this letter through the date of filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 (the “Filing Date”), you agree to assist the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on an as needed basis to ensure timely and accurate filings of any related financial statements and filings required by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable national securities exchange. In addition, during the period beginning the date a new Chief Financial Officer is appointed and running through the Separation Date (the “Transition Period”), you agree to assist with supporting the new Chief Financial Officer and perform any other task reasonably requested by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (consistent with your skills and training, and position as stated herein). Your compensation and benefits will remain the same during the Transition Period (subject to your continued employment and your continuing qualification under the terms of such benefit plans) and, so long as you remain employed, you will continue to satisfy the service vesting requirements of any equity compensation you have received; provided, however, that (i) you will not be eligible to participate in any short-term cash incentive (e.g., EIP or MIP), other cash bonus program or any equity incentive plan related to fiscal year 2017 and (ii) you will be subject to corporate-wide benefit plan changes (if any) that apply to other executive officers.

Post-Separation Benefits - As of the Separation Date, except as provided in this letter agreement, all salary payments from the Company will cease and any benefits you had as of the Separation Date under the Company-provided benefit plans, programs or practices will terminate in accordance with their terms (except as required by federal or state law), and you will cease vesting in any then unvested equity compensation from the Company.

Provided that you have remained employed until May 31, 2017 (or Section 3 below applies), you will also receive the following, conditioned on the release requirements described below:

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000

Phone (000) 000-0000 • xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx

(a) COBRA Benefits. Provided that you are eligible for and elect COBRA coverage, the Company will pay the amount it pays for active employees with similar coverage for you and your covered beneficiaries until the earlier of 18 months after your employment ends or the date you (or, as applicable, your beneficiaries) cease to be eligible for COBRA coverage, provided that if the Company’s paying such premiums violates nondiscrimination laws, the payments will cease (such payment of COBRA premiums, the “COBRA Benefits”).

(b) Treatment of Stock Options. The Company will amend all of your outstanding stock options to provide that you may exercise any such options, to the extent vested on the date your employment ends, until one year after your employment ends (but not beyond the original term of the option) (such extension, the “Option Extension”), and any then unexercised options will thereafter expire. Exercising any such extended options will be conditioned on the effectiveness of the Releases (as defined below), and, if the Final Release (as defined below) is not provided by the deadline, any Option Extension will terminate on the earlier of the deadline for providing the Final Release or the date of revocation of the Final Release.

(c) AYCO Financial Planning Services. The Company will pay for AYCO financial planning services for you in the same annual amount as is provided to other executive officers of the Company until June 30, 2018 (the “AYCO Benefits”).

In connection with the transition, upon entering this agreement you will also be asked to sign a release in the form attached hereto at Annex A (the “Initial Release”), which will be a binding agreement with the Company seven days after you sign it (unless you revoke it during such seven day period). Failure to sign the Initial Release and let it become effective will result in this letter agreement’s becoming null and void. You are advised to consult with an attorney of your own choosing and will have at least 21 days to review the Initial Release before signing it. In addition to the Initial Release, you will be required to provide a release in the form attached hereto at Annex B (the “Final Release” and, with the Initial Release, the “Releases”) within three business days after (and not before) your ceasing to be employed, as a condition of any severance, COBRA Benefits, Option Extension or AYCO Benefits due or continuing after your employment ends; provided, however, that if you remain employed on April 21, 2017, you must provide the signed Final Release between the close of business on April 21 and the close of business on April 25, 2017. The Final Release will be a binding agreement with the Company seven days after you sign it (unless you revoke it during such seven day period). If you fail to provide or do revoke the Final Release, you acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to retain you in employment for any later vesting event, and you waive any claim to the contrary or to receive such later vesting if the Company chooses to end your employment before such vesting occurs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, both you and the Company will continue to have the right to terminate your employment on an at-will basis before and during the Transition Period; provided, however, that should you end your employment for any reason or should the Company terminate your employment for Cause before May 31, 2017, you will not be eligible to receive the COBRA Benefits, Option Extension, AYCO Benefits or the severance in Section 3 below. “Cause” for purposes of this letter agreement has the definition provided in your Change in Control/Severance Agreement with the Company dated December 16, 2014 (the “Change in Control Agreement”).


3.	Description of Benefits on Termination without Cause - If your employment ends before the scheduled Separation Date of May 31, 2017, as a result of a termination without Cause, and you have timely signed and returned this letter agreement and complied with its terms during the Transition Period, and the Initial Release becomes effective and, for compensation due after your

employment ends, the Final Release becomes effective and you comply with the terms of the Releases, the Company will provide you with:

(a) a severance payment equal to twice your then current annual base salary, paid in a lump sum in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedure in the first payroll whose cutoff date follows the eighth day after the Final Release becomes effective;

(b) the COBRA Benefits, except that such benefits will be provided for up to 12 months instead of up to 18 months if such benefits become due to you under this provision 3(b); and

Description of Benefits on Death or Disability - The death and permanent disability provisions relating to equity compensation under Section 4 of your Change in Control Agreement shall remain in effect if your employment ends during the Transition Period for either of those reasons. No other compensation or benefits are due under this letter agreement if your employment ends as a result of death or permanent disability.

Non-Disclosure; Continuing Obligations - You acknowledge and reaffirm your obligation to keep confidential and not disclose any and all non-public information concerning the Company that you acquired during the course of your employment with the Company, including any non-public information concerning the Company’s business plans, business strategies and/or financials, in accordance with terms of your Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of August 20, 2007 (the “NDA”), which confidentiality provisions remain in full force and effect during and after your employment. You further acknowledge and reaffirm your other obligations under the NDA and your obligations in Section 7 of the Change in Control Agreement with respect to non-competition and non-solicitation (the “Restrictive Covenants”), which Restrictive Covenants also remain in full force and effect.

Nothing in this letter agreement, the Releases, or agreements or policies prohibits you from reporting possible violations of state or federal law or regulation to any government agency, regulator, or legal authority, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. You are not required to notify the Company that you have made any such reports or disclosures; provided, however, that nothing herein authorizes the disclosure of information you obtained through a communication that was subject to the attorney-client privilege, unless disclosure of the information would otherwise be permitted by an applicable law or rule. Further, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret [as defined in the Economic Espionage Act] that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.”

Mutual Non-Disparagement - You understand and agree that you shall not make any false, disparaging or derogatory statements to any person or entity, including any media outlet, industry group, customer, supplier, competitor, investor, analyst, institutional investor, hedge fund, financial institution or Skyworks employee, regarding the Company or any of the other “Released Parties” (as defined in Annex A) or about the Company’s business affairs and financial condition; provided, however, that nothing herein prevents you from making truthful disclosures to any governmental entity or to enforce this letter agreement. The Company agrees to instruct its executive officers not to make any false, disparaging or derogatory statements to any person or entity regarding you, your employment with the Company, or your departure from the Company.

Amendment - This letter agreement and the Releases shall be binding upon the parties and may not be supplemented, changed or modified in any manner, except by an instrument in writing of concurrent or subsequent date signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and you. This letter agreement and the Releases shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective agents, assigns, heirs, executors, successors and administrators.


8.	Waiver of Rights - No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this letter agreement or the Releases shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any other occasion.


9.	Validity - Should any provision of this letter agreement or the Releases be declared or be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected thereby and such illegal or invalid part, term or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this letter agreement or the Releases.

10.

Cooperation with Respect to Claims and Actions -To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to cooperate fully with the Company in the investigation, defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company by any third party against the Company or by the Company against any third party. You also agree that your full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions will include being available to meet with the Company’s counsel to prepare for discovery, any mediation, arbitration, trial, administrative hearing or other proceeding, and to act as a witness when requested by the Company at reasonable times and locations designated by the Company. Moreover, unless otherwise prohibited by law, you agree to notify the Vice President, General Counsel of the Company at 00 Xxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, if you are asked by any person, entity or agency to assist, testify or provide information in any such proceeding or investigation. Such notice shall be in writing and sent by overnight mail to the address above within two business days of the time you receive the request for assistance, testimony or information. If you are not legally permitted to provide such notice, you agree that you will request that the person, entity or agency seeking assistance, testimony or information provide notice consistent with this Section 10. No part of this letter agreement will abrogate your obligation to provide truthful testimony under oath. The Company agrees to reimburse you for any actual, documented, reasonable, and pre-approved out of pocket expenses you incur as a result of your cooperation with the Company pursuant to this provision.


11.	Tax Provisions - You acknowledge that you are not relying upon advice or representation of the Company with respect to the tax treatment of any of the compensation set forth or described herein. The benefits provided under this letter agreement are intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 409A” of the

“Code”). The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to you or to any other person if any of the provisions of this letter agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but not to satisfy an exemption for, or the conditions of, that section.

The Company and you agree that the provisions of Section 6 of the Change in Control Agreement relating to Limitation on Benefits and Sections 12.2 through 12.4 related to tax compliance shall each apply to any compensation and benefits pursuant to this letter agreement as though the provisions were contained herein.


12.	Acknowledgments - You acknowledge that you have consulted with an attorney of your own choosing prior to signing this letter agreement. You acknowledge that nothing in this letter agreement changes the at will status of your employment with the Company.

13.

Voluntary Assent - You affirm that no other promises or agreements of any kind have been made to or with you by any person or entity whatsoever to cause you to sign this letter agreement and that you fully understand the meaning and intent of this letter agreement. You state and represent that you have had an opportunity to discuss fully and review the terms of this letter agreement with an attorney. You further state and represent that you have carefully read this letter agreement, understand the contents herein, freely and voluntarily assent to all of the terms and conditions hereof, and sign your name of your own free act.

14.

Applicable Law - This letter agreement shall be interpreted and construed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of laws provisions. You hereby irrevocably submit to and acknowledge and recognize the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or if appropriate, a federal court located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (which courts, for purposes of this letter agreement, are the only courts of competent jurisdiction), over any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of, under or in connection with this letter agreement, or the subject matter hereof.


15.	Interpretation. The Company and you agree that this letter agreement and the Releases will be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the drafting party. References in this letter agreement and the Releases to “include” or “including” should be read as though they said “without limitation” or equivalent forms.

16.

Entire Agreement; Effect on Change in Control Agreement - This letter agreement and its schedule and the Releases contain and constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the payments and benefits due you in connection with your departure from the Company and the matters covered by the respective agreements and cancel all previous oral and written negotiations, agreements and commitments in connection therewith. This letter agreement does not affect your equity awards, except as specifically described herein, and they remain subject to the applicable equity plan and award agreements except as modified herein. This letter agreement supersedes both your offer letter from the Company dated July 12, 2007 and the Change in Control Agreement, except for the provisions explicitly referenced and incorporated herein.

(the “Company”) and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, predecessors and successors, and all of their respective past and present officers, directors, direct and indirect investors, stockholders, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives, plan administrators, attorneys, insurers and fiduciaries (each in their individual and entity-related capacities) (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, charges, complaints, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, debts, sums of money, costs, accounts, reckonings, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, doings, omissions, damages, executions, obligations, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs), of every kind and nature that you ever had or now have against any or all of the Released Parties, including any and all claims arising out of or relating to your employment with the Company, including all claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, 42 U.S.C. § 2000ff et seq., the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq., the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”), 29 U.S.C. § 2101 et seq., the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 701 et seq., Executive Order 11246, Executive Order 11141, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq., all as amended; the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act., Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 151B, § 1 et seq., the Massachusetts Civil Rights Act, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 12, §§ 11H and 11I, the Massachusetts Equal Rights Act, Mass. Gen. Laws. ch. 93, § 102 and Mass. Gen.

You expressly waive the benefit of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and agree that the general release in this Release covers claims arising prior to the date you sign this Release that you do not know or expect to exist in your favor at this time.

Any capitalized but undefined terms have the meaning set forth in or referenced under the letter agreement to which this Initial Release is attached.

Acknowledgments and Revocation - You acknowledge that you have been given at least 21 days to consider this Release and that the Company advised you to consult with an attorney of your own choosing prior to signing this Release. You understand that you may revoke this Release for a period of seven days after you sign and return it by sending a notice of revocation to the Vice President, General Counsel of the Company at 00 Xxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000. This Release shall not be effective or enforceable until the date of expiration of this seven day revocation period. You understand and agree that by entering into this Release you are waiving any and all rights or claims you might have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, and that you have received consideration beyond that to which you were entitled without providing this Release.

I hereby agree to the Release and other terms and conditions set forth above. I intend that this Release will become a binding agreement between the Company and me if I do not revoke my acceptance within seven days after I sign it.
