Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement
Granted Under 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan
1.Grant of Option.
This agreement evidences the grant by Skyworks Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on _________ (the “Grant Date”) to ___________, an employee, officer, consultant, advisor of the Company (the “Participant”), of an option to purchase, in whole or in part, on the terms provided herein and in the Company's 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a total of __________ shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $.25 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at $_________ per Share. Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on _________ (the “Final Exercise Date”).
It is intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall not be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”). Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term “Participant”, as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the right to exercise this option validly under its terms.
2.Vesting Schedule.
This option will become exercisable (“vest”) as to twenty-five percent (25%) of the original number of Shares on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and as to an additional twenty-five (25%) of the original number of Shares at the end of each successive twelve-month period following the first anniversary of the Grant Date until the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, provided the Participant continues to provide active service to the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates on each vesting date.
The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent the option is not exercised in any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the Final Exercise Date or the termination of this option under Section 3 hereof or the Plan.
3.Exercise of Option.
(a)Form of Exercise. Each election to exercise this option shall be in writing, signed by the Participant, or by any other form of notice (including electronic notice) that has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors, and received by the Company at its principal office or by a person designated by the Company, accompanied by this agreement, and payment in full in the manner provided in the Plan. The Participant may purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional share.
(b)Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless the Participant, at the time he or she exercises this option, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee or officer of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any other entity the employees, officers, consultants, or advisors of which are eligible to receive option grants under the Plan (an “Eligible Participant”).
(c)Termination of Relationship with the Company. If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason, then, except as provided in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) below, the right to exercise this option shall terminate three (3) months after such cessation (but in no event after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, violates
1
the non-solicitation, non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the Participant from the Company describing such violation.
(d)Exercise Period Upon Death. If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant due to his or her death prior to the Final Exercise Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for “cause” as specified in paragraph (f) below, this option shall be exercisable as to all Shares then vested and unvested, within the period of twelve (12) months following the date of death of the Participant, by an authorized transferee, provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date.
(e)Exercise Period Upon Disability. If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant because the Participant becomes permanently disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for “cause” as specified in paragraph (f) below, this option shall be exercisable as to all Shares then vested and unvested, within the period of six (6) months following the date of disability of the Participant, by the Participant, provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date.
(f)Discharge for Cause. If the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, is discharged by the Company for “cause” (as defined below), the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such discharge. “Cause” shall mean: (i) deliberate dishonesty significantly detrimental to the best interests of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate; (ii) conduct constituting an act of moral turpitude; (iii) willful disloyalty to the Company or refusal or failure to obey the directions of supervisors; or (iv) inadequate performance or inattention to or neglect of duties, as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for “Cause” if the Company determines, within 30 days after the Participant's resignation, that discharge for cause was warranted.
4.Withholding.
No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option unless and until the Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of this option.
5.Nontransferability of Option.
This option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this option shall be exercisable only by the Participant.
6.Provisions of the Plan.
