 M/A-COM TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS, INC. 

2012 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this Stock Option Agreement (this
“Agreement”), M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you an Option under its 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase
the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice (the “Shares”) at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement but defined in the
Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. The Plan shall control in the event there is any express conflict between the Plan and the Grant Notice or this Agreement and with respect to such matters as are not expressly covered in this
Agreement. 
 The details of the Option are as follows: 

1. Vesting and Exercisability. Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Option will vest and become exercisable as
provided in your Grant Notice, except that unless otherwise provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, vesting will cease upon your Termination of Service and the unvested portion of the Option will terminate. 

2. Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, you may not exercise the Option unless the
Shares issuable upon exercise are registered under the Securities Act or, if such Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The exercise of the Option must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Option, and you may not exercise the Option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and
regulations. 
 3. Independent Tax Advice. You should obtain tax advice when exercising the Option and prior to the
disposition of the Shares. 
 4. Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the vested portion of
the Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the term of the Option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company on the form furnished by the Company for that purpose or, to the extent applicable, by written notice to
a brokerage firm designated or approved by the Company, specifying the number of Shares subject to the Option to be purchased, and accompanied by payment of the exercise price and any withholding taxes, or suitable arrangements for such payment
satisfactory to the Company. 
 The exercise price for Shares to be purchased upon exercise of all or a portion of the Option shall
be paid in any combination of the following: (a) in cash, (b) by wire transfer or certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Company; (c) by having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
issued on exercise of the Option that have a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option equal to the exercise 







 
price of the Option; (d) if permitted by the Committee, by tendering shares of Common Stock you already own; and (e) if the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act and to the
extent permitted by law, by instructing a broker to deliver to the Company the total payment required, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board; or (f) by any other method permitted by the Committee. 

5. Treatment Upon Termination of Service. The unvested portion of the Option will terminate automatically and without further notice
immediately upon your Termination of Service. You may exercise the vested portion of the Option as follows: 
 (a) General Rule. You
must exercise the vested portion of the Option on or before the earlier of (i) three months after your Termination of Service and (ii) the Option Expiration Date; 

(b) Disability. In the event of your Termination of Service due to Disability, you must exercise the vested portion of the Option on or
before the earlier of (i) one year after your Termination of Service and (ii) the Option Expiration Date. 
 (c) Death. In
the event of your Termination of Service due to your death, the vested portion of the Option must be exercised on or before the earlier of (i) one year after your Termination of Service and (ii) the Option Expiration Date. If you die after
your Termination of Service but while the Option is still exercisable, the vested portion of the Option may be exercised until the earlier of (x) one year after the date of death and (y) the Option Expiration Date; and 

(d) Cause. The vested portion of the Option will automatically expire at the time the Company first notifies you of your Termination of
Service for Cause, unless the Committee determines otherwise. If your employment or service relationship is suspended pending an investigation of whether you will be terminated for Cause, all your rights under the Option likewise will be suspended
during the period of investigation. If any facts that would constitute termination for Cause are discovered after your Termination of Service, any Option you then hold may be immediately terminated by the Committee. 

It is your responsibility to be aware of the date the Option terminates. 

6. Limited Transferability. During your lifetime only you can exercise the Option. The Option is not transferable except by will or by
the applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Plan provides for exercise of the Option by a beneficiary designated on a Company-approved form or the personal representative of your estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent
permitted by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit you to assign or transfer the Option, subject to such terms and conditions as specified by the Committee. 

7. Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of any portion of an Option, you must make such arrangements as the Company may
require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign tax withholding obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise.

 8. Option Not an Employment or Service Contract. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement
will be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer any right for you to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Related Company or limit in any way the right of the
Company or any Related Company to terminate your employment or other relationship at any time, with or without Cause. 
 9. No Right to
Damages. You will have no right to bring a claim or to receive damages if you are required to exercise the vested portion of the Option within three months (one year in the case of Disability or death) of your Termination of Service or if any
portion of the Option is cancelled or expires unexercised. The loss of existing or potential profit in the Option will not constitute an element of damages in the event of your Termination of Service for any reason even if the termination is in
violation of an obligation of the Company or a Related Company to you. 
 10. Binding Effect. This Agreement will inure to the
benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and be binding upon you and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 

11. Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may, at any time and
without your consent, modify the terms of the Option as it determines appropriate to avoid the imposition of interest or penalties under Section 409A; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Option shall be exempt
from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Option.
