Agreement,  and commencing June 12, 2000, the Company shall pay Executive a base
salary  ("Base  Salary")  of $400,000  per annum.  The Base Salary is subject to
increases  from time to time at the  discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Company.

     3.2 ADDITIONAL BENEFITS. In addition to the Base Salary, Executive shall be
entitled to all other  benefits of employment  now or hereafter  provided to the
other  executives  of the Company,  its  operating  divisions  or  subsidiaries,
including but not limited to individual  health  insurance,  life  insurance and

price  for such  stock on or near the  effective  date of this  Agreement.  Such
options shall be 100% vested upon the effective date of this  Agreement.  In the
event that Executive's employment  terminates,  his rights with respect to these
options shall be governed by the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan.

     3.5 CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS.  All of the Company's compensation  obligations
under this paragraph shall continue through the term of this Agreement.

     3.6  REIMBURSEMENT.  Executive  shall  be  reimbursed  for  all  reasonable
out-of-pocket  business expenses for business travel and business  entertainment
incurred in connection  with the performance of his duties under this Agreement.
The  reimbursement  of  Executive's  business  expenses  shall  be  upon  weekly
presentation  to and  approval  by the  Company  of  valid  receipts  and  other
appropriate documentation for such expenses.

4.       SCOPE OF DUTIES.

     4.1  ASSIGNMENT  OF  DUTIES.  Executive  shall  have such  duties as may be
assigned  to  him  from  time  to  time  by the  Company's  Board  of  Directors
commensurate with his experience and  responsibilities in the position for which
he is employed  pursuant  to Section 1 above.  Such  duties  shall be  exercised
subject to the control and supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company.

     4.2  EXECUTIVE'S  DEVOTION OF TIME.  Executive  hereby agrees to devote his
professional full time,  abilities and energy to the faithful performance of the
duties  assigned to him and to the  promotion  and  forwarding  of the  business
affairs of the Company,  and not to divert any business  opportunities  from the
Company to himself or to any other person or business entity. Executive shall be
entitled to not less than four (4) weeks of paid  vacation and not less than two
(2) weeks of paid sick leave during each fiscal year of the Company.

     4.3  CONFLICTING  ACTIVITIES.  For  the  term of this  Agreement  or  until
Executive's  employment hereunder terminates,  whichever occurs first, Executive
hereby agrees to promote and develop all business opportunities that come to his
attention relating to current or anticipated future business of the Company,  in
a manner  consistent  with the best  interest of the Company and with his duties
under this  Agreement.  If  Executive  becomes  aware of a business  opportunity
during the performance of his Company  duties,  through the use of the Company's
property or  information,  or under  circumstances  that would  reasonably  lead
Executive to believe that the business  opportunity  was intended by the offeror
to be offered to the  Company,  he shall  first  offer such  opportunity  to the
Company.  Should the Chief  Executive  Officer of the Company,  on behalf of the
Company,  not exercise its right to pursue this  business  opportunity  within a
reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, Executive may develop
the business opportunity for himself;  provided,  however, that such development
may in no way  conflict or  interfere  with the duties owed by  Executive to the
Company  under this  Agreement.  Further,  Executive  may develop such  business
opportunities  only on his own  time,  and may not use any  service,  personnel,
equipment,  supplies,  facility,  or  trade  secrets  of the  Company  in  their
development.  As used herein, the term "business  opportunity" shall not include
business opportunities  involving investment in publicly traded stocks, bonds or
other securities, or other investments of a personal nature.

                                       2

     5. CONFIDENTIALITY OF TRADE SECRETS AND OTHER MATERIALS.  Other than in the
performance of his duties  hereunder,  Executive agrees not to disclose,  either
during the term of his employment by the Company or at any time  thereafter,  to
any person, firm or corporation any information concerning the business affairs,
the trade secrets or the customer  lists or similar  information of the Company.
Any technique,  method, process, technology or customer compilation or list used
by the Company  shall be  considered  a "trade  secret" for the purposes of this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the names  and  other  information
relating to the retail  brokerage  customers of Executive who have been assigned
Executive's A/E number shall not be considered as "confidential information" for
purposes of this Section 5 or any other provision of this Agreement.

     6. SEVERANCE. So long as this Agreement is in effect, in the event that the
Company terminates  Executive's employment under any circumstances not specified
as a basis for  termination  in Section 7.1  hereof,  Executive  or  Executive's
designees or heirs shall be entitled to 12 equal monthly  payments  equal in the
aggregate  to one  year of  Executive's  Base  Salary  as then  in  effect  (the
"Severance Payment").

7.       TERMINATION.

          mentally disabled from performing the essential Duties with or without
          accommodation  and that the disabling  condition is permanent and will

          option agreement between the Company and Executive.

     For  purposes  of this  Agreement,  a "Change  in  Control"  shall mean the
     occurrence of any of the following events:

                    (x) the  acquisition  by any  individual,  entity  or  group
               (within  the  meaning  of Section  13(d)(3)  or  14(d)(2)  of the

               Common Stock");  provided,  however, that the following shall not
               constitute  a  Change  of  Control:  (i)  any  acquisition  by an
               Underwriter  (as such term is  defined  in  Section  2(11) of the
               Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended) for the purpose of making a
               public offering;  or (ii) any acquisition by any employee benefit
               plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or

          (f)  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  herein,  or  in  any  other
     agreement  between the Company and  Executive,  or benefit or  compensation
     plan under which the Executive participates,  to the contrary, in the event
     that any amounts due  Executive  under this Section 7.1, or under any other
     plan or program of the Company or other  agreement  between the Company and
     Executive,  constitute  "parachute payments," within the meaning of section
     280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the
     amount of such parachute payments, when reduced by the federal excise taxes
     due and owing on such parachute  payments,  if any, is less than the amount
     Executive  would  receive  if he were paid  only  three (3) times his "base
     amount," as that term is defined in section 280G of the Code, then, in lieu
     of all payments hereunder which are parachute payments,  Executive shall be
     paid,  in cash, an amount equal to three (3) times his base amount less one
     dollar ($1.00).  The determinations to be made with respect to this Section
     7.1(f)  shall be made by an  independent  auditor  jointly  selected by the
     parties."

     8. NONCOMPETE.  Executive covenants and agrees that during the terms of his
employment  hereunder  and  for  a  period  of  one  (1)  year  thereafter  (the
"Noncompetition  Period"),  Executive shall not, directly or indirectly recruit,
solicit or otherwise induce any customer,  officer or employee of the Company or
its affiliates, or any independent contractor associated with the Company or its
affiliates, to discontinue such relationship with the Company or its affiliates.
During the Noncompetition  Period,  Executive shall hold in confidence and shall
not disclose to anyone,  or use or otherwise  exploit for his own benefit or the
benefit of any person or entity, any confidential or proprietary  information of
the Company, including, without limitation, customer and vendor lists, financial
statements and information,  trade secrets or marketing  arrangements and plans,
unless  directed  to do so by order of any court;  provided,  however,  that the
terms of this  paragraph  8 shall not  restrict  Executive  with  respect to any
Company customer who has been assigned Executive's A/E number.

     permitted heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

          9.2  SEVERABILITY.  Nothing  contained  herein  shall be  construed to

     2.4  Exception: The deletion of any Product pursuant to Section 2.3 will
          ---------

     3.1  Purchase Order: This Agreement shall serve as a basic ordering
          --------------
agreement under which Buyer may place orders to TRW. Buyer shall submit an order
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3 ("Order") for each Product or Service
hereunder in purchase order ("PO") form which references this Agreement. PO's

funding in the PO.

     3.2  Acceptance of Orders: TRW shall use good faith reasonable efforts to

accept and supply all Orders for Products which Buyer submits hereunder, and
unless otherwise agreed, TRW shall deliver Products so ordered on or before the

obligation to accept and shall not be deemed to have accepted; unless signed by

specified in Exhibit 1B.

     3.4  Order Procedure: TRW shall give Buyer notice of its acceptance or
          ---------------
rejection of any Order within five (5) working days after receipt of such Order.
If TRW rejects any such Order, it shall specify in such notice the reasons for
rejection.

     3.5  Additional Products: The parties may, from time to time, amend
          -------------------

hereof, should TRW discontinue offering for sale any Products listed in Exhibit
1A, TRW may delete such Products from Exhibit 1A, effective one hundred eighty
(180) calendar days after giving Buyer notice of such deletion. Other
provisions hereof notwithstanding, the deletion of any Products pursuant to this

which an Order has been accepted by TRW pursuant to Section 3.4.

     3.7  Sales Forecasts: Buyer shall submit to TRW on the Effective Date and
          ---------------

Products during the next four (4) calendar quarters. Such forecast shall list
separately for each quarter during the period covered by the forecast the amount
of Products which Buyer expects to require during such quarter. Such forecasts
are not intended to be binding on Buyer.

that Products are purchased for resale provides an exemption from liability of
either party for any taxes, assessments, or other charges incurred under this
Agreement, the other party will provide such certificate or evidence to the
first party in timely fashion and proper form if the second party wishes to take
the benefit of such exemption, and thereupon, the second party will have no
obligation hereunder to pay or reimburse the first party for any such exempted
taxes, assessment or charges.

     5.5  Transportation Expenses: TRW shall pay for all expenses of handling,

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

     13.1 Infringement:  TRW agrees that it shall to the extent its GaAs HBT
          ------------
and HEMT process and associated monolithic components are concerned, at its own
expense and at its option, defend or settle any claim, suit, or proceeding
brought against Buyer, based on an allegation that a Product furnished under
this Agreement constitutes a direct or a contributory infringement of any claim
of any patent, mask work, or copyright, which exists, or for which application
exists, as of the date of this Agreement. This obligation shall be effective
only if Buyer shall have made all payments then due and if TRW is notified of
said allegation promptly in writing and given authority, information, and
assistance for the settlement or defense of such claim, suit, or proceeding. TRW
shall pay all damages and costs assessed in such suit or proceedings. In the
event of a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction that its
Product infringes or violates any third party intellectual property right or if
the use or sale thereof is enjoined, or if the provisions of any negotiated
settlement agreement prohibit the use of the Product, TRW shall at its sole
option and its own expense, either: (a) procure for Buyer the right to continue
using the Product; or (b) replace it with a substantially equivalent non-
infringing product; or (c) modify it so it becomes non-infringing but
substantially equivalent; or (d) if none of the above is reasonably available
(i.e., if the costs/damages/royalties relating to (a) through (c) above exceed
eighty percent (80%) of the purchase price of the Products concerned), terminate
Buyer's right to use the Product and return to Buyer the price originally paid
by Buyer to TRW.

in total whether in contract, tort (including sole or concurrent negligence), or
otherwise, arising out of, connected with, or resulting from the manufacture,
sale, delivery, resale, repair, replacement, or use of Products or Services
shall not exceed in the aggregate [*] dollars ($ [*] ) or the Contract Price for
the Product or Services, whichever is less; provided, however, the limitation on
liability set forth in this Section 13.2 shall not apply to a material breach of
this Agreement resulting from a failure by TRW to honor its obligation to accept
and supply all Orders for Products from Buyer in accordance with Article 3
hereof, but shall, as noted herein, apply to claims by Buyer resulting from
TRW's manufacture, sale and delivery of Products as contemplated herein.

     13.3 Damages: In no event shall TRW be liable for any special, indirect,
          -------
incidental or consequential damages under this Agreement or any PO, however
caused, whether by TRW's sole or concurrent negligence or otherwise, including,
but not limited to costs and expenses incurred in connection with labor,
overhead, transportation, installation, or removal of the Products or substitute

     disclosure; or

          (h)  Disclosed or in a proposal submitted to a customer in the
     performance of the obligations of a party under this Agreement; provided,
     however, that any such Proprietary Information disclosed to a customer in a
     proposal shall be marked with a restrictive legend limiting use thereof to

           ------------------------
deletion, addition, or other change in the Agreement or any provision hereof, or
waiver of any right or remedy herein provided, shall be effective for any

Re:  Supply Agreement dated June 29, 1997 by and between TRW Inc. ("TRW") and
     Multilink Technology Corporation ("MTC")

Dear Rich:

I very much enjoyed our dinner last night, and I am certainly pleased that we
are on a solid path to continue to build the strategic relationship between TRW
and Multilink. As we discussed, both companies need the flexibility to adjust
the products and technologies in response to market dynamics, and we need to
structure our agreements to provide this flexibility. At the same time, we need
to make sure that we support this year's rapid growth of Multilink, as that is
key to demonstrating the company's performance to enable future financing. I
believe the following modification to the Supply Agreement captures this intent.

Add to the end of the existing section 2.2 of the Supply Agreement:

"; provided, however, that in 1999, TRW will accept all wafer orders from Buyer
that TRW can reasonably supply; further provided, that in each of the years
2000, 2001 and 2002, notwithstanding any other provision herein, Buyer shall not
be obligated to purchase from TRW, and TRW shall not be obligated to sell to
Buyer, more than [*] wafers."

If you agree with this modification, please sign below and fax a copy to me so
that we can immediately process the outstanding orders you have placed. I am
also sending by mail two originals of this letter. Please sign them, retain one
for your records, and send me the other copy.

Sincerely,                                   AGREED AND ACCEPTED

/s/ Wes Bush                                 AS OF July 01, 1999
