(a) Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties made by RFMD in Section 3 that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct, and each of such representations and warranties of RFMD that is not so qualified shall be true and correct in all material respects, as of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of the Closing Date.

(b) Covenants. All covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions contained in this Agreement to be performed by RFMD on or prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed or complied with in all material respects.

(c) Consents. RFMD shall have obtained all material consents, permits and waivers necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(d) Proceedings and Documents. All corporate, legal, and other proceedings taken by RFMD in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(e) Securities Law Compliance. The offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be in compliance with all federal securities laws and the securities laws of any applicable states as necessary to offer and sell the Shares to RFMD in compliance with all applicable laws.

(g) HSR Act Waiting Period. All applicable HSR Act waiting periods, if any, together with any extensions thereof, shall have expired or terminated.

6. Indemnification.

6.1. Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless RFMD and its officers, directors and affiliates (the "RFMD Indemnitees") from, against and with respect to any and all action or cause of action, loss, damage (including, without limitation, all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages), claim, obligation, liability, penalty, fine, cost and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and costs and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing, defending against or prosecuting any litigation, claim, proceeding, demand or request for action by any governmental or administrative entity), of any kind or character (a "Loss") arising out of or in connection with any of the following:

(a) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement; and

(b) any failure by the Company to perform or observe, or to have performed or observed, in full, any covenant, agreement, obligation or condition to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement;

6.2. Indemnification by RFMD. RFMD shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors and affiliates (the "Company Indemnitees") from, against and with respect to any Loss arising out of or in connection with any of the following:

(a) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of RFMD contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement; and

(b) any failure by RFMD to perform or observe, or to have performed or observed, in full, any covenant, agreement, obligation or condition to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement.

6.3. Notice of Claim. Any party seeking to be indemnified hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnity Obligor") in writing of any claim for recovery, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnity Obligor as promptly as practicable thereafter all information and documentation reasonably requested by the Indemnity Obligor to verify the claim asserted.

6.4. Defense. If the facts pertaining to a Loss arise out of the claim of any third party, or if there is any claim against a third party available by virtue of the circumstances of the Loss, the Indemnity Obligor may, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within 15 days following its receipt of the notice of such claim, elect to assume control of the defense or the prosecution thereof, including the employment of counsel or accountants at its cost and expense. The Indemnity Obligor shall be entitled (but not obligated), if it so elects, to compromise or settle such

claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made within the sole discretion of the Indemnity Obligor without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement or compromise only involves the payment of monetary amounts, but shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, if such settlement or compromise involves obligations other than the payment of monetary amounts. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnity Obligor in any such action and to participate therein, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party's own expense. Whether or not the Indemnity Obligor chooses to so defend or prosecute such claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and shall attend such conferences, discovery proceedings and trials as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

6.5. Exclusive Remedy. The foregoing indemnification provisions shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and RFMD for any inaccuracy, untruth, incompleteness or other breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in or made by RFMD or the Company, as appropriate, pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificates delivered at the Closing in connection with or related to the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.6. Limitations on Liability. The maximum aggregate amount of Loss for which RFMD shall be liable shall be limited to $6,000,000 and the maximum aggregate amount of Loss for which the Company shall be liable shall be limited to $6,000,000; provided that, with respect to such claims, neither the RFMD Indemnities nor the Company Indemnities shall be entitled to be indemnified until the aggregate amount of their Loss arising out of such claims exceeds $500,000. Once the aggregate amount of the RFMD Indemnitees' or the Company Indemnitees' Loss arising out of the foregoing claims exceeds $500,000, the Company Indemnitees or the RFMD Indemnitees, as appropriate, shall be entitled to indemnification for all Loss incurred, including the first $500,000, up to the above limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Loss of RFMD arising out of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant that involves a Loss or diminution in value of the Company shall be limited to RFMD's pro rata portion of such Loss based upon RFMD's proportionate ownership interest in the Company.

7. Miscellaneous.

7.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements among Delaware residents, made and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware.

7.2. Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements made herein shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby until the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months from the Closing Date and (b) the consummation of the Company's initial public offering of its common stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the Company hereunder as of the date of such certificate or instrument.

7.3. Finder's Fee. Each party represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finder's fee or commission in connection with this transaction. Each of RFMD and the Company agree to indemnify and hold harmless each other party from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder's fee (and the costs and expenses of investigating and defending against such liability or asserted liability, including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel) for which RFMD or the Company, as the case may be, is responsible.

7.4. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators of the parties hereto.

7.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the Transaction Documents and the other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements except as specifically set forth herein or therein. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

7.6. Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement become or are declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision or provisions; provided, however, that no such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.

7.7. Amendment and Waiver. Any term of this Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of the Company and RFMD.

7.8. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day; (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company or RFMD at the respective address as set forth on the signature page hereof or at such other address as the Company or RFMD may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other.

7.9. Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

7.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
