EXHIBIT 10.B

Skyworks Solutions, Inc.

Restricted Stock Agreement

Granted Under 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan

AGREEMENT made this ____ day of _____________, 2005 (the “Grant Date”), between
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
________________________ (the “Participant”).

For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

1.

Issuance of Shares.

The Company shall issue to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”), ______ shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.25 par value, of
the Company (“Common Stock”). The Company shall issue to the Participant one or
more certificates in the name of the Participant for that number of Shares to be
issued to the Participant hereunder. The Participant agrees that the Shares
shall be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement and the
restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

2.

Forfeiture Option.

(a)        In the event that the Participant ceases to be employed by the
Company for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, prior to the fourth
anniversary of the Grant Date, the Company shall have the right and option (the
“Forfeiture Option”) to demand that the Participant forfeit some or all of the
Unvested Shares (as defined below).

“Unvested Shares” means the total number of Shares multiplied by the Applicable
Percentage at the time the Forfeiture Option becomes exercisable by the Company.
The “Applicable Percentage” shall be (i) 100% during the 12-month period ending
on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (ii) 75% during the 12-month period
ending on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, (iii) 50% during the
12-month period ending on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, (iv) 25%
during the 12-month period ending on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date
and (v) zero after the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date.

(b)        In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company is
terminated by reason of death or disability, the number of the Shares for which
the Forfeiture Option becomes exercisable shall be zero percent (0%) of the
number of Unvested Shares for which the Forfeiture Option would otherwise become
exercisable. For this purpose, “disability” shall mean the permanent disability
of the Participant as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986.

(c)        For purposes of this Agreement, the Participant’s employment with the
Company shall not be considered to have terminated if he or she remains employed
by a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

 

3.

Exercise of Forfeiture Option and Closing.

(a)            The Company may exercise the Forfeiture Option by delivering or
mailing to the Participant (or his estate), within 90 days after the termination
of the employment of the Participant with the Company, a written notice of
exercise of the Forfeiture Option. Such notice shall specify the number of
Shares to be forfeited. If and to the extent the Forfeiture Option is not so
exercised by the giving of such a notice within such 90-day period, the
Forfeiture Option shall automatically expire and terminate effective upon the
expiration of such 90-day period.

(b)           Within 10 days after delivery to the Participant of the Company’s
notice of the exercise of the Forfeiture Option pursuant to subsection (a)
above, the Participant (or his estate) shall, pursuant to the provisions of the
Joint Escrow Instructions referred to in Section 5 below, tender to the Company
at its principal offices the certificate or certificates representing the Shares
which the Company has demanded forfeiture of in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, duly endorsed in blank or with duly endorsed stock powers
attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such Shares to the
Company.

(c)            After the time at which any Shares are required to be delivered
to the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant to subsection (b) above, the
Company shall not pay any dividend to the Participant on account of such Shares
or permit the Participant to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a
stockholder with respect to such Shares, but shall, in so far as permitted by
law, treat the Company as the owner of such Shares.

(d)           The Company shall not demand forfeiture of any fraction of a Share
upon exercise of the Forfeiture Option, and any fraction of a Share resulting
from a computation made pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall be rounded
to the nearest whole Share (with any one-half Share being rounded upward).

(e)            The Company may assign its Forfeiture Option to one or more
persons or entities.

 

4.

Restrictions on Transfer.

The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”)
any Shares, or any interest therein, that are subject to the Forfeiture Option,
except that the Participant may transfer such Shares (i) to or for the benefit
of any spouse, children, parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, grandchildren and any
other relatives approved in writing by the Board of Directors (collectively,
“Approved Relatives”) or to a trust established solely for the benefit of the
Participant and/or Approved Relatives, provided that such Shares shall remain
subject to this Agreement (including without limitation the restrictions on
transfer set forth in this Section 4 and the Forfeiture Option set forth in
Section 2) and such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer,
deliver to the Company a written instrument confirming that such transferee
shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) as
part of the sale of all or substantially all of the shares of capital stock of
the Company (including pursuant to a merger or consolidation), provided that, in
accordance with the Plan, the securities or other property received by the
Participant in connection with such transaction shall remain subject to this
Agreement..

5.

Escrow.

The Participant shall, upon the execution of this Agreement, execute Joint
Escrow Instructions in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. The
Joint Escrow Instructions shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company, as
escrow agent thereunder. The Participant shall deliver to such escrow agent a
stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, in the form attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit B, and hereby instructs the Company to deliver to such escrow agent,
on behalf of the Participant, the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued
hereunder. Such materials shall be held by such escrow agent pursuant to the
terms of such Joint Escrow Instructions.

6.

Restrictive Legends.

All certificates representing Shares shall have affixed thereto legends in
substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that may be
required under federal or state securities laws:

“The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions
on transfer and a forfeiture option set forth in a certain Restricted Stock
Agreement between the corporation and the registered owner of these shares (or
his predecessor in interest), and such Agreement is available for inspection
without charge at the office of the Secretary of the corporation.”

7.

Provisions of the Plan.

(a)            This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy
of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement.

(b)           As provided in the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Reorganization
Event (as defined in the Plan), the rights of the Company hereunder (including
the right to exercise the

 

Forfeiture Option) shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and
shall apply to the cash, securities or other property which the Shares were
converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the
same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the Shares under this
Agreement. If, in connection with a Reorganization Event, a portion of the cash,
securities and/or other property received upon the conversion or exchange of the
Shares is to be placed into escrow to secure indemnification or similar
obligations, the mix between the vested and unvested portion of such cash,
securities and/or other property that is placed into escrow shall be the same as
the mix between the vested and unvested portion of such cash, securities and/or
other property that is not subject to escrow.

8.

Withholding Taxes; Section 83(b) Election.

(a)            The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the
right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the issuance of the Shares to the Participant or the lapse of the
Forfeiture Option.

(b)           The Participant has reviewed with the Participant’s own tax
advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this
investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant
is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the
Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant’s own
tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant understands that it may be
beneficial in many circumstances to elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are
issued rather than when and as the Company’s Forfeiture Option expires by filing
an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with the
Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the date of issuance.

THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY
AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF
THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING
ON THE PARTICIPANT’S BEHALF.

9.

Miscellaneous.

(a)            No Rights to Employment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees
that the vesting of the Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof is earned only by
continuing service as an employee at the will of the Company (not through the
act of being hired accepting shares issued hereunder). The Participant further
acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated hereunder and the
vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied
promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the vesting
period, for any period, or at all.

(b)           Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this

 

Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and
enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(c)            Waiver. Any provision for the benefit of the Company contained in
this Agreement may be waived, either generally or in any particular instance, by
the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d)           Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Company and the Participant and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns,
subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this
Agreement.

(e)            Notice. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or five days after
deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at the address shown
beneath his or its respective signature to this Agreement, or at such other
address or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance
with this Section 9.

(f)            Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in
this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter
forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and
vice versa.

(g)           Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the
entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(h)           Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a
written instrument executed by both the Company and the Participant.

(i)             Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.

(j)             Participant’s Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges that
he or she: (i) has read this Agreement; (ii) has been represented in the
preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of
the Participant’s own choice or has voluntarily declined to seek such counsel;
(iii) understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement; (iv) is fully
aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement; and (v) understands
that the law firm of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP is acting as
counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement, and is not acting as counsel for the Participant.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the
day and year first above written.
