                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.13

                                      1987

                        MICROSEMI CORPORATION STOCK PLAN

                              AS ADOPTED ORIGINALLY

The 1987 Microsemi Corporation Stock Plan ("1987 Plan") authorized the Committee
to Administer the Stock Plan ("Committee") to provide officers and other key
executive and management employees of Microsemi Corporation and its subsidiaries
("Company") with certain rights to acquire shares of the Company's Common Stock,
$.10 par value ("Microsemi Stock"). The Company believes that this incentive
program will cause those persons to contribute materially to the growth of the
Company, thereby benefiting its stockholders.

1.   Administration.
     --------------

The 1987 Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Committee consisting
of not less than three persons appointed by the Board of Directors of the
Company from among its members, each of whom is ineligible to receive any grant
under the 1987 Plan. The Committee shall have full authority to administer the
1987 Plan, including authority to interpret and construe any provision of the
1987 Plan and to determine the fair market value of the Microsemi Stock for
purposes of the 1987 Plan. The Committee's decisions shall be final and
conclusive with respect to the interpretation and administration of the 1987
Plan and any grant made under it.

2.   Grants.
     ------

Incentives under the 1987 Plan shall consist of incentive stock options,
nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, and
restricted stock grants (collectively "Grants"). All Grants shall be subject to
the terms and conditions set out herein and to such other terms and conditions
consistent with this 1987 Plan as the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee
shall approve the form and provision of each Grant. Grants under a particular
section of the 1987 Plan need not be uniform and Grants under two or more
sections may be combined in one instrument.

3.   Eligibility.
     -----------

Grants may be made to any employee of the Company who is an officer or other key
executive, professional or administrative employee, including a person who is
also a member of the Board of Directors ("Eligible Employee") other than members
of the Committee. The Committee shall select the persons to receive Grants
("Grantees") from among the Eligible Employees and determine the number of
shares subject to any particular Grant.

4.   Shares Available for Grant.
     --------------------------

(a)  Shares Subject to Issuance or Transfer. Subject to adjustment as provided
     --------------------------------------
in Section 4(b) the aggregate number of shares of Microsemi Stock that may be
issued or transferred under the 1987 Plan is 750,000. The shares may be
authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The number of shares
available for Grants at any given time shall be 750,000 reduced by the aggregate
of all shares previously issued or transferred and of shares which may become
subject to issuance or transfer under then-outstanding Grants. Payment in cash
in lieu of shares shall be deemed to be an issuance of the shares.

<PAGE>

(b)  Recapitalization Adjustment. If any subdivision or combination of shares of
     ---------------------------
Microsemi Stock or any stock dividend, capital reorganization, recapitalization,
consolidation, or merger with the Company as the surviving corporation occurs
after the adoption of the 1987 Plan, the Committee shall make such adjustments
as it determines appropriate in the number of shares of Microsemi Stock that may
be issued or transferred in the future under Section 4(a). The Committee shall
also adjust the number of shares and Option Price in all outstanding Grants made
before the event.

5.   Stock Options.
     -------------

The Committee may grant options qualifying as incentive stock options under
Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended ("Incentive Stock
Options"), or nonqualified options ("Nonqualified Options") (the Incentive Stock
Options and Nonqualified Options are collectively referred to as "Stock
Options"). The Stock Options shall be evidenced by agreements in such form as
the Committee may, from time to time, approve and shall be subject to the
following provisions:

(a)  Option Price. The price at which Microsemi Stock may be purchased by the
     ------------
Grantee under a Stock Option ("Option Price") shall be determined by the
Committee but shall not be less than the fair market value of Microsemi Stock on
the date of Grant.

(b)  Option Exercise Period. The Committee shall determine the option exercise
     ----------------------
period ("Option Exercise Period") of each Stock Option. The Option Exercise
Period shall not exceed ten years from the date of the Grant.

(c)  Exercise of Option. A Grantee shall exercise a Stock Option by delivering
     ------------------
written notice of exercise to the Company, either with or without accompanying
payment of the Option Price. The notice of exercise once delivered shall be
irrevocable.

(d)  Requirement of Employment. If the Grantee's employment terminates during
     -------------------------
the Option Exercise Period for any reason other than death, the Stock Option
shall terminate, except that the Committee may provide for complete or partial
exceptions to this requirement as it deems equitable and is not inconsistent
with applicable law.

(e)  Satisfaction of Option Price. The Grantee shall pay the Option Price in
     ----------------------------
cash, or with the Committee's permission, by delivering shares of Microsemi
Stock already owned by the Grantee and having a fair market value on the date of
exercise equal to the Option Price, or a combination of cash and shares. The
Grantee shall pay the Option Price not later than thirty (30) days after the
date of a statement from the Company following exercise setting forth the Option
Price, fair market value of Microsemi Stock on the exercise date, the number of
shares of Microsemi Stock that may be delivered in payment of the Option Price,
and the amount of withholding tax due, if any. If the Grantee fails to pay the
Option Price within the thirty (30) day period, the Committee shall have the
right to take whatever action it deems appropriate, including voiding the option
exercise. The Company shall not issue or transfer shares of Microsemi Stock upon
exercise of a Stock Option until the Option Price is fully paid.

(f)  Incentive Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the
     -----------------------
Plan:

     (i)  Must be designated as an Incentive Stock Option by the Committee;

                           ORIGINAL 1987 PLAN PAGE 2

<PAGE>

     (ii) Shall not be issued for a number of shares which would cause the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the option is granted) of
the Microsemi Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Grantee during any calendar year under all
plans of the Company.

6.   Stock Appreciation Right.
     ------------------------

The Committee may grant a Stock Appreciation Right ("SAR") with respect to any
Stock Option granted under the 1987 Plan either at the time of grant thereof or
with respect to nonqualified options thereafter. The following provisions are
applicable to each SAR.

(a)  Options to Which Right Relates. Each SAR shall specify the Stock Option to
     ------------------------------
which the right is related, together with the Option Price and number of shares
in the option subject to the SAR at the time of its grant.

(b)  Requirement of Employment. An SAR may be exercised only while the Grantee
     -------------------------
is in the employment of the Company, except that the Committee may provide for
partial or complete exceptions to this requirement as it deems equitable.

(c)  Exercise. A Grantee may exercise an SAR in whole or in part by delivering a
     --------
notice of exercise to the Company. The notice of exercise once given shall be
irrevocable. An SAR may be exercised only to the extent that the Stock Option to
which it relates is exercisable. If a Grantee exercises an SAR, he agrees to
forego the right to purchase the number of shares under the related Stock Option
with respect to which the SAR has been exercised.

(d)  Payment and Form of Settlement. If a Grantee exercises an SAR, he shall
     ------------------------------
receive the aggregate of the excess of the fair market value of each share of
Microsemi Stock with respect to which the SAR is being exercised over the Option
Price of each such share. Payment may be made in cash, Microsemi Stock at fair
market value, or a combination of the two, in the discretion of the Committee.
The fair market value shall be determined as of the date of exercise.

(e)  Expiration and Termination. Each SAR shall expire on a date determined by
     --------------------------
the Committee at the time of grant no later than the date of expiration of the
Stock Option. If a Stock Option is exercised in whole or in part, the SAR
related to the shares purchased shall terminate immediately.

7.   Performance Awards.
     ------------------

The Committee may grant Performance Awards under which payment shall be made in
shares of Microsemi Stock ("Performance Shares"), or in cash, if the financial
performance of the Company or any subsidiary or division of the Company
("Business Unit") selected the Committee during the Award Period meets certain
financial goals established by the Committee. The following provisions are
applicable to Performance Awards:

(a)  Award Period. The Committee shall determine and include in the Grant the
     ------------
period of time (expressed in terms of one or more fiscal years) for which a
Performance Award is made ("Award Period"). Grants of Performance Awards need
not be uniform with respect to the number of years in the Award Period. If a
Performance Award is granted after the fifteenth (15) day of December in any
calendar year, the Award Period under the Performance Award shall commence at
the beginning of the next fiscal year.

                           ORIGINAL 1987 PLAN PAGE 3

<PAGE>

(b)  Performance Goals and Payment. Before a Grant is made, the Committee shall
     -----------------------------
establish objectives ("Performance Goals") that must be met by the Business Unit
during the Award Period as a condition to payment being made under the
Performance Award. The Performance Goals, which must be set out in the Grant,
may include earnings per share, return on shareholders' equity, return on
assets, net income, divisional income, or any financial measurements established
by the Committee. The Committee shall also establish the method of calculating
the amount of payment to be made under a Performance Award if the Performance
Goals are met including the fixing of a maximum payment.

(c)  Computation of Payment. After an Award Period, the financial performance of
     ----------------------
the Business Unit during the period shall be measured against the Performance
Goals. If the Performance Goals are not met or exceeded, the Committee shall
determine the number of Performance Shares payable under a Performance Award.
The Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay the Performance Award in
cash in lieu of issuing or transferring part or all of the Performance Shares.
The cash payment shall be based on the fair market value of Microsemi Stock on
the date of payment. The Company shall promptly notify each Grantee of the
number of Performance Shares and the amount of cash he or she is to receive.

(d)  Revisions for Significant Events. At any time before payment is made, the
     --------------------------------
Committee may revise the Performance Goals and the computation of payment if
unforeseen events occur during an Award Period which have a substantial effect
on the financial performance of the Business Unit and which in the judgment of
the Committee make the application of the Performance Goals unfair unless a
revision is made.

(e)  Requirement of Employment. To be entitled to receive payment under a
     -------------------------
Performance Award, a Grantee must remain in the employment of the Company until
the announcement of the Performance Shares to be paid under Section 7(c), except
that the Committee may provide for partial or complete exceptions to this
requirement as it deems equitable.

8.   Restricted Stock Grants.
     -----------------------

The Committee may issue or transfer shares of Microsemi Stock to a Grantee under
the Restricted Stock Grant. Upon the issuance or transfer, the Grantee shall be
entitled to vote the shares and to receive any dividends paid. The following
provisions are applicable to Restricted Stock Grants:

(a)  Requirement of Employment. If the Grantee's employment terminates during
     -------------------------
the period designated in the Grant as the "Restriction Period," the Restricted
Stock Grant terminates and the shares of Microsemi Stock must be returned
immediately to the Company. However, the Committee may provide for complete or
partial exceptions to this requirement as it deems equitable.

(b)  Restrictions on Transfer and Legend on Stock Certificate. During the
     --------------------------------------------------------
Restriction Period, a Grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or
otherwise dispose of the shares of Microsemi Stock except to a Successor Grantee
under Section 10(a). Each certificate for shares issued or transferred under a
Restricted Stock Grant shall contain a legend giving appropriate notice of the
restrictions in the Grant.

(c)  Lapse of Restrictions. All restrictions imposed under the Restricted Stock
     ---------------------
Grant shall lapse upon the expiration of the Restriction Period if all
conditions stated in Sections 8(a) and (b) have been met. The Grantee shall then
be entitled to have the legend removed from the certificate.

<PAGE>

9.   Amendment and Termination of the 1987 Plan.
     ------------------------------------------

(a)  Amendment. The Company's Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 1987
     ---------
Plan, subject to shareholder approval to the extent necessary for the continued
applicability of rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but no
amendment shall withdraw from the Committee the right to select Grantees under
Section 3.

(b)  Termination of 1987 Plan. The 1987 Plan shall terminate on the tenth
     ------------------------
anniversary of its effective date unless terminated earlier by the Board or
unless extended by the Board with the approval of the shareholders.

(c)  Termination and Amendment of Outstanding Grants. A termination or amendment
     -----------------------------------------------
of the 1987 Plan that occurs after a Grant is made shall not result in the
termination or amendment of the Grant unless the Grantee consents or unless the
Committee acts under Section 10(e). The termination of the 1987 Plan shall not
impair the power and authority of the Committee with respect to outstanding
Grants. Whether or not the 1987 Plan has terminated, an outstanding Grant may be
terminated or amended under Section 10(e) or may be amended by agreement of the
Company and the Grantee consistent with the 1987 Plan.

10.  General Provisions
     ------------------

(a)  Prohibitions Against Transfer. Only a Grantee or his authorized
     -----------------------------
representative may exercise rights under a Grant. Such persons may not transfer
those rights. When a Grantee dies, the personal representative to succeed to the
rights of the Grantee ("Successor Grantee") may exercise the rights within one
year following death but no later than the expiration date of the Grant. A
Successor Grantee may furnish proof satisfactory to the Company of his or her
right to receive the Grant under the Grantee's will or under the applicable laws
of descent and distribution.

(b)  Substitute Grants. The Committee may make a Grant to an employee of another
     -----------------
corporation who becomes an Eligible Employee by reason of a corporate merger,
consolidation, acquisition of stock or property, reorganization or liquidation
involving the Company in substitution for a stock option, stock appreciation
right, performance award or restricted stock grant granted by such corporation
("Substituted Stock Incentive"). The terms and conditions of the substitute
Grant may vary from the terms and conditions required by the 1987 Plan and from
those of the Substituted Stock Incentives. The Committee shall prescribe the
exact provisions of the substitute Grants, preserving where possible the
provisions of the Substituted Stock Incentives. The Committee shall also
determine the number of shares of Microsemi Stock to be taken into account under
Section 4.

(c)  Subsidiaries. The term "subsidiary" means a corporation of which the
     ------------
Company owns directly or indirectly 50% or more of the voting power.

(d)  Fractional Shares. Fractional shares shall not be issued or transferred
     -----------------
under a Grant, but the Committee may pay cash in lieu of a fraction or round the
fraction.

                            ORIGINAL 1987 PLAN PAGE 5

<PAGE>

(e)  Compliance with Law. The 1987 Plan, the exercise of Grants, and the
     -------------------
obligations of the Company to issue or transfer shares of Microsemi Stock under
Grants shall be subject to all applicable laws and to approvals by any
governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Committee may revoke
any Grant if it is contrary to law or modify a Grant to bring it into compliance
with any valid and mandatory government regulation. The Committee may also adopt
rules regarding the withholding of taxes on payments to Grantees.

(f)  Ownership of Stock. A Grantee or Successor Grantee shall have no rights as
     -------------------------
a shareholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Microsemi Stock
covered by a Grant until the shares are issued or transferred to the Grantee or
Successor Grantee on the Company's books.

(g)  No Right to Employment. The 1987 Plan and the Grants under it shall not
     ----------------------
confer upon any Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company
or affect in any way the right of the Company to terminate the employment of a
Grantee at any time.

(h)  Effective Date of the 1987 Plan. The 1987 Plan shall become effective upon
     -------------------------------
its adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company. However, the 1987 Plan
is, and all Grants previously made hereunder are, specifically made subject to
defeasance and termination upon the failure of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company to approve 1987 Plan and the
issuance and sale of shares of Microsemi Stock in accordance herewith at the
next meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof.

                      1987 MICROSEMI CORPORATION STOCK PLAN

The 1987 Microsemi Corporation Stock Plan ("1987 Plan") is hereby amended as
follows:

     The opening paragraph of the 1987 Plan is amended and restated in full to
read as follows:

          The 1987 Microsemi Corporation Stock Plan ("1987 Plan") authorized the
Committee to Administer the Stock Plan ("Committee") to provide officers and
other key executive and management employees of Microsemi Corporation and its
subsidiaries ("Company") with certain rights to acquire shares of the Company's
Common Stock, $.20 par value ("Microsemi Stock"). The Company believes that this
incentive program will cause those persons to contribute materially to the
growth of the Company, thereby benefiting its stockholders.

1.   Amendment to Increase the Number of Shares Available under the 1987 Plan.
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Section 2 of the Plan is amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:

     2.   Shares Available for Grant.
          --------------------------

          (a)  Shares Subject to Issuance or Transfer. Subject to adjustment as
               --------------------------------------
provided in Section 4(b), the aggregate number of shares of Microsemi Stock that
may be issued or transferred under the 1987 Plan is 850,000 shares. The shares
may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The number of shares
available for Grants at any given time shall be 850,000, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 4(b), reduced by the aggregate of all shares previously
issued or transferred and of shares which may become subject to issuance or
transfer under then-outstanding Grants. Payment in cash in lieu of shares shall
be deemed to be an issuance of the shares.

          (b)  Adjustments.
               -----------

                 (i)  Recapitalization Adjustment. If any subdivision or
                      ---------------------------
combination of shares of Microsemi Stock or any stock dividend, capital
reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, or merger with the Company as
the surviving corporation occurs after the adoption of the 1987 Plan, the
Committee shall make such adjustments as it determines appropriate in the number
of shares of Microsemi Stock that may be issued or transferred in the future
under Section 4(a). The Committee shall also adjust the number of shares and
Option Price in all outstanding Grants made before the event.

                 (ii) 1994 Stockholder-Approved Annual Increases. The number of
                      ------------------------------------------
shares of Microsemi Stock available for awards under the 1987 Plan shall
increase at the beginning of each of the Company's next six (6) fiscal years by
amounts each year equal to 2% of the number of shares of Microsemi Stock
outstanding as of the Company's immediately prior fiscal year end. The initial
and each subsequent increase will be equal to 2% of the number of outstanding
shares (other than treasury shares) of Microsemi Stock as of the first day of
each of fiscal year 1995 and the five (5) consecutive fiscal years thereafter
during the term of the Plan. The number of authorized shares under the 1987
Plan, including the increases pursuant to this Section 4(b)(ii), shall be
reduced by the aggregate of the number of all shares previously issued or
transferred and of shares which may become subject to issuance or transfer under
then-outstanding Grants. Any award which expires or

                             1994 AMENDMENTS PAGE 1

<PAGE>

lapses without being exercised, and shares of restricted stock which are
forfeited to or repurchased by the Company, again become available for use under
the 1987 Plan. Payment in cash in lieu of shares shall be deemed to be an
issuance of the shares.

2.   Amendment to Extend the Termination Date of the 1987 Plan.
     ----------------------------------------------------------

     Section 9(b) of the 1987 Plan is amended and restated in full to read as

Board of Directors of the Company in the Board of Directors' discretion. The
Committee shall have full authority to administer the 1987 Plan, including

Section 5 (e) of the 1987 Microsemi Corporation Stock Plan ("1987 Plan") is
hereby amended and restated in full as follows:

5.   (e)   Satisfaction of Option Price. The Grantee shall pay the Option Price
           ----------------------------
(i) in cash, or (ii) with the Committee's permission, by delivering shares of
Microsemi Stock already owned by the Grantee and having a fair market value on
the date of exercise equal to the Option Price, or a combination of cash and
shares, or (iii) with the Committee's permission, by Microsemi withholding from
the Grantee out of the Microsemi Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise a
number of shares having a fair market value equal to the aggregate Option Price,
or (iv) with the Committee's permission, by the execution and delivery of
Grantee's promissory note in the principal amount of the exercise price, with
such term, interest rate and other terms and provisions, including, without
limitation, requiring the Microsemi Stock acquired upon exercise to be pledged
to the Company to secure payment of the note, as the Board of Directors may
specify; (v) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to Grantee, equal to
the amount of the exercise price; (vi) by waiver of compensation due or accrued
to Grantee for services rendered, equal to the amount of the exercise price;
(vii) provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists, through a
"same day sale" commitment from the Grantee and a broker-dealer that is a member
of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an "NASD" Dealer), whereby
the Grantee irrevocably elects to exercise his Option and to sell a portion of
the Microsemi Stock so purchased to pay for the exercise price and whereby the
NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Microsemi Stock to forward
the exercise price directly to the Company; (viii) provided that a public market
for the Company's stock exists, through a "margin" commitment from the Grantee
and NASD Dealer whereby the Grantee irrevocably elects to exercise this Option
and to pledge the Microsemi Stock so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin
account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the
exercise price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of
such Microsemi Stock to forward the exercise price directly to the Company; or
(ix) any combination of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii)
above. The Grantee shall pay the Option Price not later than thirty (30) days
after the date of a statement from the Company following exercise setting forth
the Option Price, fair market value of Microsemi Stock on the exercise date, the
number of shares of Microsemi Stock that may be delivered in payment of the
Option Price, and the amount of withholding tax due, if any. If the Grantee
fails to pay the Option Price within the thirty (30) day period, the Committee
shall have the right to take whatever action it deems appropriate, including
voiding the option exercise. The Company shall not issue or transfer shares of
Microsemi Stock upon exercise of a Stock Option until the Option Price is fully
paid.

adjustment as provided in Section 4(b), the aggregate number of shares of
Microsemi Stock that may be issued or transferred under the 1987 Plan is
1,150,000 shares, before including the adjustments under Section 4(b)(ii). The

shares available for Grants at any given time shall be 1,150,000, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 4(b), and before including the adjustments
under Section 4(b)(ii), reduced by the aggregate of all shares previously issued
or transferred and of shares which may become subject to issuance or transfer
under then-outstanding Grants. Payment in cash in lieu of shares shall be deemed
to be an issuance of the shares.

         Section 2(b)(ii) of the Plan is amended and restated in its entirety to
read as follows:

                           (i)  Stockholder-Approved Annual Increases.  The
                                -------------------------------------
number of shares of Microsemi Stock available for awards under the 1987 Plan has
increased at the beginning of each of the Company's respective fiscal years
listed below by amounts each year equal to 2% of the number of shares of
Microsemi Stock outstanding as of the Company's immediately prior fiscal year
end:

                           Fiscal Year                   Increase
                           -----------                   --------
                           1995                          151,851

                           1997                          158,159
                           1998                          174,716

The number of shares of Microsemi Stock available for awards under the 1987 Plan
has increased at the beginning of each of the Company's respective fiscal years

                           -----------                   --------
                           2000                          436,799

Each subsequent increase will be equal to 4% of the number of outstanding shares
(other than treasury shares) of Microsemi Stock as of the first day of fiscal
year 2001 and the first day of the ten (10) consecutive fiscal years thereafter

<PAGE>

during the term of the Plan. The number of authorized shares under the 1987
Plan, including the increases pursuant to this Section 4(b)(ii), shall be
reduced by the aggregate of the number of all shares previously issued or
transferred and of shares which may become subject to issuance or transfer under
then-outstanding Grants. Any award which expires or lapses without being
exercised, and shares of restricted stock which are forfeited to or repurchased
by the Company, again become available for use under the 1987 Plan. Payment in
cash in lieu of shares shall be deemed to be an issuance of the shares.
Notwithstanding the provision for annual increases in the number of shares
available under the 1987 Plan, the maximum number of shares which may be issued
pursuant to incentive stock options granted under the 1987 Plan may not exceed
7,000,000.

   ---------------------------------------------------------

         Section 9(b) of the 1987 Plan is amended and restated in full to read

         9.     Amendment and Termination of the 1987 Plan.
                ------------------------------------------

                (b) Termination of 1987 Plan. The 1987 Plan shall terminate on
                    ------------------------
December 15, 2009 unless terminated earlier by the Board or unless extended by
the Board with the approval of the stockholders.

3. Amendment to Add Flexibility of Grants to Non-Employee Directors and other
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-Employees.
--------------

         The opening paragraph of the 1987 Plan is amended and restated in full
to read as follows:

                 The 1987 Microsemi Corporation Stock Plan ("1987 Plan")
authorized the Committee to Administer the Stock Plan ("Committee") to provide
officers and other key executive and management employees, and non-employee
officers, directors, consultants and service providers, of Microsemi Corporation
and its subsidiaries ("Company") with certain rights to acquire shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $.20 par value ("Microsemi Stock"). The Company believes
that this incentive program will cause those persons to contribute materially to
the growth of the Company, thereby benefiting its stockholders.

         Section 3 of the 1987 Plan is amended and restated in full to read as
follows:

         3.      Eligibility.  The 1987 Plan shall include:
                 -----------

         (a)     Grants may be made to any employee of the Company who is an
officer or other key executive, professional or administrative employee,
including a person who is also a member of the Board of Directors, non-employee
officers, non-employee consultants or service providers ("Eligible Person"). The
Committee shall select the persons to receive Grants ("Grantees") from among the
Eligible Persons and determine the number of shares subject to any particular
Grant. However, non-employee directors serving on a Committee that selects
Grantees and/or approves Grants under the 1987 Plan are intended to be
Non-Employee Directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and therefore shall not, while serving on such Committee,
be granted options for services rendered as a consultant or in any capacity
other than as a director, except to such extent as would be permitted in
accordance with said rule. For avoidance of doubt, discretionary grants (as well
as these annual grants) may be made to non-employee directors for service as a
director at any time and may be made to non-employee directors for service as a
consultant or other non-director capacity while that non-employee director is
not serving on the Committee that selects Grantees or approves Grants under the

1987 Plan. Effective as of December 20, 1993, and thereafter, no one person will
receive more than 150,000 options or restricted shares or share equivalents
under performance awards or SARs under the 1987 Plan in any one (1) calendar
year.

         (b) Formula grants shall be made to each non-employee director of the
Company initially as of February 25, 1994, and as of October 2, 1994 and the
last day of each subsequent fiscal year, automatically, of a nonqualified option
under the 1987 Plan to purchase 1,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (or
3,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock as of the last day of fiscal year
1996 and each subsequent fiscal year), which shall be immediately vested as of
the grant date. The options granted to non-employee directors of the Company
shall have an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the
underlying Common Stock on the date of grant of the options, as determined in
accordance with the terms of the 1987 Plan, and shall have terms of ten years,
on the terms and subject to the provisions of the 1987 Plan. All such options
shall be otherwise on the terms and subject to the provisions of the 1987 Plan.

         Section 10(b) of the 1987 Plan is amended and restated to read in full
as follows:

         (b) Substitute Grants. The Committee may make a Grant to an employee or
             -----------------
non-employee officer, director, consultant or service provider of another
corporation who becomes an Eligible Person by reason of a corporate merger,
consolidation, acquisition of stock or property, reorganization or liquidation
involving the Company in substitution for a stock option, stock appreciation
right, performance award or restricted stock grant granted by such corporation
("Substituted Stock Incentive"). The terms and conditions of the substitute
Grant may vary from the terms and conditions required by the 1987 Plan and from
those of the Substituted Stock Incentives. The Committee shall prescribe the
exact provisions of the substitute Grants, preserving where possible the
provisions of the Substituted Stock Incentives. The Committee shall also
determine the number of shares of Microsemi Stock to be taken into account under
Section 4.

Microsemi Corporation Stock Plan, as heretofore amended ("1987 Plan"), as

           divided by two to yield the adjusted exercise price per share.

     B.    The number of shares covered by such outstanding Grants then
           remaining unexercised and unexpired is multiplied by two to yield the
           adjusted number of shares then remaining covered by the Grant.

(other than treasury shares) of Microsemi Stock as of the first day of fiscal
year 2002 and the first day of the nine (9) consecutive fiscal years thereafter
during the term of the Plan. The number of authorized shares under the 1987
Plan, including the increases pursuant to this Section 4(b)(ii), shall be
reduced by the aggregate of the number of all shares previously issued or
transferred and of shares which may become subject to issuance or transfer under
then-outstanding Grants. Any award which expires or lapses without being
exercised, and shares of restricted stock which are forfeited to or repurchased
by the Company, again become available for use under the 1987 Plan. Payment in
cash in lieu of shares shall be deemed to be an issuance of the shares.
Notwithstanding the provision for annual increases in the number of shares
available under the 1987 Plan, the maximum number of shares which may be issued
pursuant to incentive stock options granted under the 1987 Plan may not exceed
14,000,000.

         Section 3 of the 1987 Plan is amended and restated in full to read as
follows:

         3.    Eligibility.  The 1987 Plan shall include:
               -----------

         (a)   Grants may be made to any employee of the Company who is an
officer or other key executive, professional or administrative employee,
including a person who is also a member of the Board of Directors, non-employee
officers, non-employee consultants or service providers ("Eligible Person"). The
Committee shall select the persons to receive Grants ("Grantees") from among the
Eligible Persons and determine the number of shares subject to any particular
Grant. However, non-employee directors serving on a Committee that selects
Grantees and/or approves Grants under the 1987 Plan are intended to be
Non-Employee Directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and therefore shall not, while serving on such Committee,
be granted options for services rendered as a consultant or in any capacity
other than as a director, except to such extent as would be permitted in
accordance with said rule. For avoidance of doubt, discretionary grants (as well
as these annual grants) may be made to non-employee directors for service as a
director at any time and may be made to non-employee directors for service as a
consultant or other non-director capacity while that non-employee director is
not serving on the Committee that selects Grantees or approves Grants under the
1987 Plan. Effective as of December 20, 1993, and thereafter, no one person will
receive more than 300,000 options or restricted shares or share equivalents
under performance awards or SARs under the 1987 Plan in any one (1) calendar
year. For purposes of applying the limit in the immediately preceding sentence
to Grants made prior to August 14, 2001, each one pre-split share subject to the
Grant is equivalent to two post-split shares of Common Stock.

         (b)   Formula grants shall be made to each non-employee director of the
Company as of the last day of fiscal year 2001 and each subsequent fiscal year,
automatically, of a nonqualified option under the 1987 Plan to purchase 6,000

                             2001 ADJUSTMENTS PAGE 2

shares of the Company's Common Stock, which shall be immediately vested as of
the grant date. The options granted to non-employee directors of the Company
shall have an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the
underlying Common Stock on the date of grant of the options, as determined in
accordance with the terms of the 1987 Plan, and shall have terms of ten years,
on the terms and subject to the provisions of the 1987 Plan. All such options
shall be otherwise on the terms and subject to the provisions of the 1987 Plan.
