 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Employee entered into that certain Employment Agreement dated May 1, 2004, attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Employment Agreement”), 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend Sections 2(i) and (ii), 3(b) and 4 of the Employment Agreement
and to add a new Section 7(l) to ensure full documentary compliance with applicable provisions of Section 409A (“Code Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the final regulations issued thereunder. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Employee agree to amend the Employment Agreement as follows: 
 AMENDMENTS 
 The parties agree as follows:

 1. The first sentence of Section 2(i)(b) of the Employment Agreement is revised to read as follows: 
 “(b) Involuntary Resignation or Termination without Cause. If the Employee resigns as a result of an Involuntary Resignation or if the
Company terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause, and such termination constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (a “Separation from Service”), then, subject
to satisfaction of the release requirements set forth in Section 2(v) below, Employee shall be entitled to the following benefits:” 
 2. Section
2(i)(b)(2) of the Employment Agreement is revised to read as follows: 
 “(2) Severance. A lump sum cash payment in an amount
equal to six (6) months of the sum of the Employee’s then current base salary and pro-rated portion of his target annual bonus, if any, payable following the termination date as set forth in Section 2(v) below;” 

 3. The first sentence of Section 2(ii)(b) of the Employment Agreement is revised to read as follows: 
 “(b) Involuntary Resignation or Termination without Cause. If the Employee resigns as a result of an Involuntary Resignation or if the
Company terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause, and such termination constitutes a Separation from Service, then, subject to satisfaction of the release requirements set forth in Section 2(v) below, Employee shall be entitled to the
following benefits:” 
 4. Section 2(ii)(b)(2) of the Employment Agreement is revised to read as follows: 
 “(2) Severance. A lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the sum of the Employee’s then current base
salary and pro-rated portion of his target annual bonus, if any, payable following the termination date as set forth in Section 2(v) below;” 
 5. A
new Section 2(v) is added to the Employment Agreement to read as follows: 
 “(v) Release of Claims
Agreement. As a condition to Employee’s receipt of the benefits described in Section 2(i)(b) and 2(ii)(b) above, Employee is required to execute, and allow to become effective, a mutually acceptable separation agreement including a general
release of claims with respect to the Company or its successor and related parties (the “Release”) not later than sixty (60) days (or such earlier time period as is specified in the Release) following Employee’s Separation from
Service. Unless the Release is timely executed by Employee, delivered to the Company, and becomes effective within the required period (the date on which the Release becomes effective, the “Release Date”), Employee will not receive any of
the severance benefits provided for under this Agreement. In no event will benefits be provided to Employee until the Release becomes effective. Any severance benefit that otherwise would have been payable to Employee prior to the Release Date shall
be paid in full arrears within ten (10) business days following the Release Date, but in no event later than the 15th day of the 3rd month following the later of the end of the Company’s fiscal year or the calendar year in which the applicable event
occurs.” 
 6. This Amendment amends and restates the definition of “Involuntary Resignation” in Section 3(b) of the Employment Agreement
to read in its entirety as follows: 
 “(b) Involuntary Resignation. “Involuntary Resignation” shall mean
Employee’s voluntary resignation within 60 days of the occurrence of any of the following events which occurs without his consent and after having provided to the Company written notice of such event and as least thirty (30) days to cure it:
(i) a reduction of Employee’s then total current compensation by more than 10%, or (ii) Employee’s refusal to relocate to a location more than 30 miles from the Company’s current location.” 
 7. The following sentence is added at the end of Section 4(a) of the Employment Agreement: 
 “In the event that a reduction in severance benefits is required under this section 4(a), such reduction shall occur in the following
order: (1) reduction of cash payments, (2) reduction or cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted stock and (3) reduction of other benefits (if any) payable to Employee. If the acceleration of vesting of equity awards
is to be cancelled, it will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant.” 
  

 Page 2 of 5 

 8. A new Section 7(l) related to compliance with Code Section 409A is added to the Employment Agreement in its
entirety as follows: 
 “Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if
Employee is deemed by the Company at the time of Employee’s Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the severance
benefits to which Employee is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), such portion of Employee’s benefits shall not be provided to Employee prior to the earlier
of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Employee’s Separation from Service with the Company or (ii) the date of Employee’s death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 7(l) shall be paid in a lump sum to Employee, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. For purposes of Code Section
409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Employee’s right to receive installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments
and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. It is intended that all of the severance benefits payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the
exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those
provisions.” 
 4. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be modified or
altered in any other way pursuant to this Amendment. 
 5. Each of the Company and Employee acknowledges and represents that, in executing this Amendment,
such party has had the opportunity to seek advice as to its legal rights from legal counsel and such party has read and understood all of the terms and provisions of this Amendment. This Amendment shall not be construed against any party by reason
of the drafting or preparation thereof. 
 6. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and
all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

 Page 5 of 5Employment Agreement - Weijie Yun

 Exhibit 10.7(i) 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and
entered into effective as of May 1, 2004, by and between Weijie Yun (the “Employee”) and Telegent Systems, Inc., a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”). 
 R E C I T A L S 
 A. The Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or
occurrence of a termination of employment. 
 B. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders
to provide the Employee with an incentive to continue his or her employment with the Company. 
 C. The Board believes that it is
imperative to provide the Employee with certain benefits upon termination of the Employee’s employment, which benefits are intended to provide the Employee with financial security and provide sufficient encouragement to the Employee to remain
with the Company. 
 D. To accomplish the foregoing objectives, the Board of Directors has directed the Company, upon execution of this
Agreement by the Employee, to agree to the terms provided in this Agreement. 
 E. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are
defined in Section 3 below. 
 In considering of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and in consideration of the continuing
employment of the Employee by the Company, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. At-Will Employment. The Company and the Employee
acknowledge that the Employee’s employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. If the Employee’s employment terminates for any reason, the Employee shall not be entitled to any benefits, other than as
provided by this Agreement, or as may otherwise be available in accordance with the terms of the Company’s established employee plans and written policies at the time of termination. The terms of this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier
of (i) the date on which Employee ceases to be employed as an employee of the Company, other than as a result of a termination by the Company without Cause or an Involuntary Resignation or (ii) the date that all obligations of the parties hereunder
have been satisfied. A termination of the terms of this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be effective for all purposes, except that such termination shall not affect the provision of benefits on account of a termination of
employment occurring prior to the termination of the terms of this Agreement.

 2. Termination Benefits. 
 (i) Prior to a Change of Control. Subject to Section 4 below, if the Employees’s employment with the Company is terminated at any time
prior to a Change of Control, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive benefits as follows: 
 (a) Voluntary Resignation or
Termination for Cause. If the Employee voluntarily resigns from the Company (other than as an Involuntary Resignation (as defined below) or if the Company terminates the Employee’s employment for Cause (as defined below)), then the Employee
shall not be entitled to receive any acceleration of vesting or any other severance benefits. The Employee’s benefits will be terminated under the Company’s then existing benefits plans and policies in accordance with such plans and
policies in effect on the date of termination or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 (b) Involuntary
Resignation or Termination without Cause. If the Employee resigns as a result of an Involuntary Resignation or if the Company terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause, then Employee shall be entitled to the following benefits
subject to the execution of a mutually acceptable separation agreement including a general release of claims with respect to the Company or its successor and related parties: 
 (1) Acceleration of Vesting. The vesting of any stock option or restricted stock then held by Employee shall automatically be accelerated as
though Employee maintained his employment or consulting relationship with the Company for a period of 6 months following the date of such Involuntary Resignation or termination. Apart from the foregoing, each such option shall be exercisable in
accordance with the provisions of the option agreement and plan pursuant to which such option was granted. 
 (2) Severance. A
cash payment in an amount equal to six (6) months of the sum of the Employee’s then current base salary and pro-rated portion of his target annual bonus, if any, subject to the execution of a mutually acceptable separation agreement including a
general release of claims with respect to the Company or its successor and related parties; 
 (3) Benefits. The Employee shall be
entitled to continue his health insurance benefits at the same level of coverage as was provided to such employee immediately prior to such termination (“Health Care Coverage”) by electing COBRA continuation coverage, provided the Company
is subject to COBRA at the time of Employee’s termination of employment. Should the Employee elect COBRA, the Company shall pay 100% of Employee’s health care coverage premiums for 6 months (“Premiums”). If such Health Care
Coverage included the Employee’s dependents immediately prior to such termination, the Company shall pay 100% of such dependent’s premiums. If the Employee (or a dependent of Employee) is eligible for further COBRA coverage (in excess of 6
months), Employee shall maintain such coverage at his sole expense. In the event of the Company is not subject to COBRA at the time of Employee’s termination of employment, the Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement of his premium cost for
individual health insurance coverage up to the amount the Company would have paid as Premium under this paragraph had the Company been subject to

  

 2 

 
COBRA. The Company shall cease to pay the Premiums for the Employee and his dependents if Employee and his dependents become covered under another employer’s group health plan which provides
Employee and his dependents with comparable benefits and levels of coverage and which does not contain any exclusion or limitation with respect to any pre-existing condition of the Employee or his dependents. The Company shall not cancel already
existing life insurance policies or disability insurance policies, provided that the Employee continues such policies at the Employee’s expense, and further provided that the continuation of such policies is permitted by the policies and the
insurers. 
 (ii) Upon or After a Change of Control. Subject to Section 4 below, if the Employee’s employment with the Company
is terminated upon or at any time within 12 months after a Change of Control, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive benefits as follows: 
 (a) Voluntary Resignation or Termination for Cause. If the Employee voluntarily resigns from the Company (other than as an Involuntary Resignation (as defined below) or if the Company terminates the
Employees’s employment for Cause (as defined below)), then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any acceleration of vesting or any other severance benefits. The Employee’s benefits will be terminated under the Company’s then
existing benefit plans and policies in accordance with such plans and policies in effect on the date of termination or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 (b) Involuntary Resignation or Termination without Cause. If the Employee resigns as a result of an Involuntary Resignation or if the Company
terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause, then Employee shall be entitled to the following benefits subject to the execution of a mutually acceptable separation agreement including a general release of claims with respect to the
Company or its successor and related parties: 
 (1) Acceleration of Vesting. The vesting of any stock option or restricted stock
then held by Employee shall automatically be accelerated as though Employee maintained his employment or consulting relationship with the Company for a period of 12 months following the date of such Involuntary Resignation or termination. Apart from
the foregoing, each such option shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of the option agreement and plan pursuant to which such option was granted. 
 (2) Severance. A cash payment in an amount equal to 12 months of the sum of the Employee’s then current base salary and target annual bonus, if any; 
 (3) Benefits. The Employee shall be entitled to continue his health insurance benefits at the same level of coverage as was provided to such
immediately prior to such termination (“Health Care Coverage”) by electing COBRA continuation coverage, provided the Company is subject to COBRA at the time of Employee’s termination of employment. Should the Employee elect COBRA, the
Company shall pay 100% of Employee’s health care coverage premiums for 12 months (“Premiums”). If such Health Care Coverage included the Employee’s dependents immediately prior to such termination, the Company shall pay 100% of
such dependent’s premiums. If the Employee (or a dependent of Employee) is eligible for further COBRA coverage (in excess of 12 months), Employee shall

  

 3 

 
maintain such coverage at his sole expense. In the event the Company is not subject to COBRA at the time of Employee’s termination of employment, the Employee shall be entitled to
reimbursement of his premium cost for individual health insurance coverage up to the amount the Company would have paid as Premiums under this paragraph had the Company been subject to COBRA. The Company shall cease to pay the Premiums for the
Employee and his dependents if Employee and his dependents become covered under another employer’s group health plan which provides Employee and his dependents with comparable and levels of coverage and which does not contain any exclusion or
limitation with respect to any pre-existing condition of the Employee or his dependents. The Company shall not cancel already existing life insurance policies or disability insurance policies, provided that the Employee continues such policies at
the Employee’s expense, and further provided that the continuation of such policies is permitted by the policies and the insurers. 
 (iii) Disability. If the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of the Employee’s Disability, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits in this Agreement, except
for those (if any) as may be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company. 
 (iv) Death. In the event that Employee’s employment is terminated due to the Employee’s death, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits in this Agreement,
except for those (if any) as may be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company. 
 3. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings: 
 (a) Cause. “Cause” shall mean (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Employee’s duties to the
Company where such gross negligence or willful misconduct has resulted or is likely to result in substantial and material damage to the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) repeated unexplained or unjustified absence from the Company, (iii) a material
and willful violation of any federal or state law or any agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and ownership of the Company’s proprietary information and inventions; (iv) commission of any act of fraud with respect to the
Company; or (v) conviction of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude causing material harm to the standing and reputation of the Company. 
 (b) Involuntary Resignation. “Involuntary Resignation” shall mean Employee’s voluntary resignation, upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company, following (i) reduction of Employee’s then current total
compensation by more than 10%, or (ii) Employee’s refusal to relocate to a location more than 30 miles from the Company’s current location. 
 (c) Change of Control. “Change of Control” shall mean a merger or consolidation of the Company, or a sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of the Company other than pursuant to a
transaction which would result in the voting securities of the

  

 4 

 
Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty
percent (50%) of the total voting power of the Company or such surviving entity immediately after such transaction; provided, however, that a transaction or a series of transactions involving the sale of stock by the Company for the primary purpose
of raising working capital shall not be considered a Change of Control. 
 4. Limitation on Payments. 
 (a) In the event that the severance benefits provided for in this Agreement to the Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this Section, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Employee’s benefits under Section 2
shall be payable either: (i) in full, or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account
the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by the Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under Section 2, notwithstanding that all or some
portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 4 shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public
accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 4, the Accountants may make
reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee shall furnish to the
Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations
contemplated by this Section 4. 
 (b) The payment of severance benefits provided for in this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable
income, employment and social tax rules and regulations. 
 5. Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect
and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as
the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. The terms of this Agreement and all of the Employee’s rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Employee’s personal
or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 6. Notice. Notices
and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, or sent via email with confirmation of receipt, or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified
mail,

  

 5 

 
return receipt requested and postage prepaid. Mailed notices to the Employee shall be addressed to the Employee at the home address which the Employee most recently communicated to the Company in
writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary. 
 7. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 (a) No Duty to Mitigate. The Employee shall not be
required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement (whether by seeking new employment or in any other manner), nor, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that the
Employee may receive from any other source. 
 (b) Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or discharged
unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Employee and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than the Employee). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition
or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. 
 (c) Whole Agreement. No agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement have been made or entered
into by either party with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any agreement of the same title and concerning similar subject matter dated prior to the date of this Agreement, and by execution of this Agreement both
parties agree that any such predecessor agreement shall be deemed null and void. 
 (d) Choice of Law. The validity,
interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to conflict of laws provisions. 
 (e) Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any circumstance shall, in any jurisdiction and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, such term or provision
shall be ineffective as to such jurisdiction to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the application of such terms and provisions to
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, and a suitable and equitable term or provision shall be substituted therefor to carry out, insofar as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of the invalid
or unenforceable term or provision. 
 (f) Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement may be settled at the option of either party by binding arbitration in the San Jose, California, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The arbitrator shall apply California law, without
reference to rules of conflicts of law or rules of statutory arbitration, to resolution of any dispute. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Punitive damages shall not be awarded.

  

 6 

 (g) Legal Fees and Expenses. The parties shall each bear their own expenses, legal fees and
other fees incurred in connection with this Agreement. 
 (h) Employee’s Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all
rights of the Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 (i) Employment Taxes. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.

 (j) Assignment by Company. The Company may assign its rights under this Agreement to an affiliate, and affiliate may assign its
rights under this Agreement to another affiliate of the Company or to the Company; provided, however, that no assignment shall be made if the net worth of the assignee is less than the net worth of the Company at the time of assignment. In the case
of any such assignment, the term “Company” when used in a section of this Agreement shall mean the corporation that actually employs the Employee. 
 (k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instruments.
