Company desires to retain Mr. Leza as an independent contractor to perform certain services for Company, and Mr. Leza is willing to perform such services, on terms set forth more fully below. In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

(a) EXAR retains Mr. Leza on an interim basis to serve as the Company’s President and CEO and to perform all related tasks and responsibilities.

(b) Mr. Leza shall exercise his best judgment in the diligent performance of all his duties hereunder and to devote the requisite time, skill and energy in addressing all matters related to his interim position.

(d) Mr. Leza acknowledges and agrees and it is the intent of the parties hereto that Mr. Leza receive no Company-sponsored benefits from Company either as a Contractor or employee. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, paid vacation, sick leave and medical insurance. If Mr. Leza is reclassified by any governmental or other authority or court as an employee, Mr. Leza will become a reclassified employee and will receive no benefits except those mandated by state or federal law, even if by the terms of Company’s benefit plans in effect at the time of such reclassification Mr. Leza would otherwise be eligible for such benefits.

This Agreement will remain in place until the first employment day of a full-time President and CEO or when replaced by the Board, whichever first occurs.

It is the express intention of the parties that Mr. Leza is an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be construed to constitute Mr. Leza as an agent, employee or representative of Company, and Mr. Leza shall perform the Services hereunder as an independent contractor. This Agreement does not constitute a hiring by either party. Mr. Leza shall be under the control of Company as to the result of Mr. Leza’s work only, and not as to the means by which such results are accomplished. Mr. Leza shall not be considered under the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise as having employee status. It is understood that the relationship of Mr. Leza to Company shall not bring Mr. Leza under the provisions of the United States Social Security Act, the State Unemployment Act, or any similar act wherein coverage is based on the relationship of employee or employer. Mr. Leza shall furnish (or reimburse Company for) all tools and materials necessary to accomplish this contract, and shall incur all expenses associated with performance. Mr. Leza acknowledges and agrees that Mr. Leza is obligated to report as income all compensation received by Mr. Leza pursuant to this Agreement, and Mr. Leza shall and acknowledge the obligation to pay all required self-employment benefit and other taxes or withholdings thereon to appropriate regulatory agencies. Mr. Leza shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any claim of non-compliance with the foregoing. Mr. Leza shall provide proof of the compliance with such obligation after each one (1) quarter period of providing services hereunder.

Any notice or other communication required to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given upon personal delivery or upon the lapse of three (3) days following deposit for delivery by certified or registered United States mail, postage fully prepaid and addressed to the party at its respective address as shown herein (or at such other address to which one party gives the other by the same means of notice).
