			Amendment No. 2

			



 


The parties have previously entered into a letter agreement (the “Base Confirmation”) dated as of September 6, 2016 and an additional letter agreement (the “Additional Confirmation” and, together with the Base Confirmation, each a “Confirmation”) dated as of September 7, 2016, the purpose of each of which was to confirm the terms and conditions of the capped call option transactions entered into between [Insert Dealer Name] (“Dealer”) and Inphi Corporation (“Counterparty”) in connection with the issuance by Counterparty of its 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, a “Convertible Note”). On May 20, 2020, Counterparty entered into certain exchange transactions with holders of Convertible Notes pursuant to which Counterparty acquired Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of USD 171,396,000 (the “Exchanged Convertible Notes”) and entered into an amendment to each Confirmation to provide for the automatic exercise at expiration of those capped call options corresponding to the Exchanged Convertible Notes (“Amendment No. 1”). On May 21, 2020, Counterparty entered into certain additional exchange transactions (the “Additional Exchange Transactions”) with holders of Convertible Notes pursuant to which Counterparty acquired additional Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of USD 51,694,000 (the “Additional Exchanged Convertible Notes”). To provide for the automatic exercise at expiration of those capped call options corresponding to the Additional Exchanged Convertible Notes, the parties have now agreed to amend each Confirmation by the terms of this Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”).   


 


	 	
			1.

				
			Amendments. Each Confirmation is hereby amended as follows:

			



 


	 	
			(a)

				
			by deleting the first paragraph opposite the caption, “Automatic Exercise” and replacing it in its entirety with the following language:

			



 


“Notwithstanding Section 3.4 of the Equity Definitions, on each Conversion Date occurring on or after the Free Convertibility Date, in respect of which a “Notice of Conversion” (as such term is defined in the Indenture) that is effective as to Counterparty has been delivered by the relevant converting Holder, a number of Options equal to the number of Convertible Notes in denominations of USD 1,000 as to which such Conversion Date has occurred shall be deemed to be automatically exercised; provided that such Options shall be exercised or deemed exercised only if Counterparty has provided a Notice of Exercise to Dealer in accordance with “Notice of Exercise” below. In addition, all outstanding Options that are not deemed automatically exercised pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as a result of Counterparty’s acquisition of Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of USD 223,090,000 Convertible Notes pursuant to certain exchange transactions effected on May 20, 2020 and May 21, 2020 (“Exchange-related Options”) shall be deemed to be automatically exercised at the Expiration Time on the Expiration Date.”


 





 










 








 


	 	
			2.
