 Exhibit 10.2 

EMPLOYMENT SEPARATION 
 AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 
 This Employment
Separation Agreement and Release (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 17th day of July, 2012 (“Effective Date”) by and between Ralph Lauren Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) and Tracey Travis (the “Executive”). 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Corporation had entered into an employment agreement effective September 28, 2009 (the “Employment
Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, the Corporation and Executive wish to set forth certain promises, agreements, and understandings
in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged (and is in addition to what Executive is legally entitled to), the Corporation and Executive do hereby agree as follows: 

1. Payments to Executive by the Corporation. In exchange for agreeing to and complying with the terms of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the release it contains in Section 6), Executive shall receive the following consideration (which Executive acknowledges is sufficient and in addition to what Executive would be legally entitled to) and be
treated in the following manner: 
 (a) Executive will remain on the Corporation’s payroll as an employee until
July 30, 2012 (the “Termination Date”). Executive will receive Executive’s regular base salary, less applicable withholdings, in bi-weekly installments pursuant to the normal payroll practices of the Corporation until the
Termination Date. 
 (b) Subject to the Executive not revoking this Agreement pursuant to Section 17, the Corporation shall
pay to Executive the following: 
 (i) the amount of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars
($750,000), less applicable withholdings, equivalent to fifty-two (52) weeks of Executive’s base salary, (the “Severance Payment”) with payments commencing on the Corporation’s first payroll date following the 30th day after the Termination Date and continuing in bi-weekly
installments pursuant to the normal payroll practices of the Corporation (the “Severance Period”), provided that the initial payment shall include the base salary amounts for all payroll periods from the Termination Date through the date
of such initial payment (for purposes of Section 409A (as defined in Section 19), Executive’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Section 1 shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and
distinct payments); and 
 (ii) the amount of eight hundred eighty thousand dollars ($880,000), less applicable
withholdings, equivalent to Executive’s bonus for the Corporation’s 2012 fiscal year, payable on or prior to the last business day of the Severance Period. 

 (c) Executive’s eligibility for participation in all benefit plans of the Corporation
will cease as of the Termination Date, except for Executive’s right to group medical and dental coverage pursuant to COBRA. In this regard, during the Severance Period, subject to the Executive’s timely election of COBRA, the Corporation
shall pay the employer’s share of the monthly premium for Executive’s group medical and dental coverage, while Executive will be responsible for paying the employee’s share of such monthly premium. After the Severance Period,
Executive will be solely responsible for paying the full cost of the monthly premium in order to continue receiving group medical and dental coverage pursuant to COBRA. Executive’s participation in the Corporation’s group medical or dental
insurance plan and the Corporation’s obligation to pay the employer’s share of the premium shall immediately cease at such time as the Executive is covered by a future employer’s medical and/or dental insurance coverage. 

(d) Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s unvested stock options and unvested restricted performance share units
(“RPSUs”) shall be cancelled in their entirety without any payment as of the Termination Date, in accordance with the terms of the Corporation’s 1997 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan and the 2010 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, as
applicable (collectively, the “Stock Award Plan”). Executive understands that she shall have three months from the Termination Date to exercise her vested stock options in accordance with the terms of the Stock Award Plan. Further,
pursuant to the terms of the Stock Award Plan, Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that as of the Termination Date, Executive shall not be entitled to any further grants of stock options or RPSUs from the Corporation on and after the
Termination Date. 
 (e) Other than the payments and benefits specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Executive agrees
that the Corporation and its subsidiaries, affiliates and licensees do not owe the Executive any additional payments, compensation, remuneration, bonuses, incentive payments, benefits, stock options, warrants, restricted stock units, severance,
reimbursement of expenses, or commissions of any kind whatsoever, or other similar compensation, including any obligations owed to Executive under any employment agreement, offer letter or otherwise. 

2. Return of Property. On or prior to the Termination Date, Executive agrees to return to the Corporation any and all files or
other property of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, affiliates and licensees (said property includes, but is not limited to, purchase orders, financial reports and statements, projections, forecasts, balance sheets, income statements, budgets,
actual or prospective purchaser or customer lists, written proposals and studies, plans, drawings, specifications, investor reports, books, reports to directors, minutes, resolutions, certificates, bank account numbers, passwords, credit cards,
computers, laptops, cellular or other telephones, blackberrys, calculators, identification and security cards, beepers, keys, deeds, contracts, office equipment and supplies, records, computer discs, etc.) without retaining any copies or extracts
thereof. 
 3. Confidentiality of this Agreement. Executive, Executive’s agents, attorneys, heirs, executors,
administrators, affiliates and assigns agree that this Agreement, and any and all matters concerning Executive’s separation from the Corporation, will be regarded as privileged communications between the parties, and that they will not reveal,
disseminate by publication of any sort, or release in any manner or means this Agreement or any matters, factual or legal, 

  
 2 

 
concerning this Agreement or Executive’s separation to any other person or entity, except as required by legal process (in which case, Executive agrees to forthwith provide written notice of
said legal process as set forth below prior to the production of the requested information). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may reveal the relevant terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s spouse, accountants and attorneys, provided
that such parties agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions herein. Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit the Corporation from disclosing this Agreement in its sole discretion or as required by law. 

4. Obligations. 
 (a) In exchange for the payments and benefits set forth in paragraph 1 herein, Executive agrees that during the Severance Period, Executive shall for no additional compensation or benefits whatsoever be
available if requested by the Corporation upon reasonable notice to assist in transitioning Executive’s former duties and responsibilities for the Corporation. 
 (b) With the exception of the duties and responsibilities set forth in this paragraph 4, Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive is relieved of all duties and responsibilities for the Corporation
and its subsidiaries, affiliates and licensees as of the Termination Date, that Executive does not have the authority to bind the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees, and that Executive shall not contact any past,
current, or prospective customers, distributors, manufacturers, partners or suppliers of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees (i) on behalf of the Corporation or (ii) with the intent of reducing, interfering
or ceasing the relationship between the Corporation and any of the parties referred to in this sentence. Effective as of the Termination Date, Executive shall cease and be deemed to have resigned from any and all titles, positions and appointments
the Executive holds with the Corporation and any of its affiliates, whether as an officer, director, employee, trustee, committee member or otherwise. Executive agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by the Corporation in accordance
with the preceding sentence. 
 (c) The Executive, on behalf of the Executive, the Executive’s agents, attorneys, heirs,
executors, administrators, affiliates and assigns, agrees that the Executive shall not at any time from and after the Effective Date engage in any form of conduct, or make any statements or representations (whether written or oral), that is
reasonably likely to disparage or otherwise impair the reputation, goodwill or commercial interests of the Corporation, its management, stockholders, directors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees. The Corporation agrees that it will
cause its current directors and SEC named executive officers to not disparage Executive or make any comments relating to Executive which are defamatory or which would materially injure her employment prospects or reputation. The foregoing
limitations shall not apply to (i) compliance with legal process or subpoena, or (ii) statements in response to inquiry from a court or regulatory body. In response to any request received by the Corporation from prospective employers for
information about the Executive, the Corporation shall not be required to provide any information concerning Executive’s employment, unless required by law. 
 (d) Executive further agrees that Executive will cooperate fully with the Corporation in connection with any existing or future litigation involving the Corporation,

  
 3 

 
whether administrative, civil or criminal in nature, in which and to the extent the Corporation deems Executive’s cooperation necessary, unless Executive is instructed by a court, law
enforcement agency, or regulatory body not to so cooperate. The Corporation shall pay all reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by the Executive in connection therewith as long as such expenses and costs are approved in advance in writing by
the Corporation. 
 (e) Executive agrees that until the Termination Date and for a period of twelve (12) months after the
Termination Date, Executive will not solicit or hire any employee, contractor, consultant, or customer of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees thereof away from employment, consultancy or retention by any such entities
or to reduce or cease doing business with any such entities. As used herein, “solicit” shall include, without limitation, requesting, encouraging, enticing, assisting, or causing, directly or indirectly. 

(f) Executive agrees that until the Termination Date and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, the
Executive shall not provide any labor, work, services or assistance (whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, agent, owner, independent contractor, consultant, stockholder or otherwise) to a “Competing Business.” For purposes
hereof, “Competing Business” shall have the same meaning as it does in Section 3.1 of the Employment Agreement, except that the phrase “premium apparel, home, accessories and/or fragrance products,” shall instead read
“apparel, accessories, leather goods, and/or home products.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may own, solely as an investment, securities of any entity which are traded on a national securities exchange if the Executive is not a
controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls such entity and does not, directly or indirectly, own 2% or more of any class of securities of such entity. 
 (g) Executive represents and warrants that, as of the Termination Date, Executive does not have any personal expenses, loans or other obligations due to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries,
affiliates or licensees and agrees that if any such amounts are owed to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees, the Corporation may deduct such amounts from the payments to be made to Executive under the terms of this
Agreement; provided, however, that the maximum amount that the Corporation may deduct from any payments to be made to Executive under the terms of this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A (as defined in Section 19) is $5,000 (and
Executive shall repay to the Corporation any such amounts in excess of $5,000). 
 5. Nondisclosure of Confidential
Information. Executive agrees not to disclose or cause to be disclosed in any way to any person or entity in any fashion any confidential, trade secret, or proprietary information or documents relating to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, licensees or affiliates or the Executive’s employment with the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the operations of the Corporation and its affiliates, licensees and subsidiaries, strategies, financial information,
financial statements, budgets, products, marketing data, business plans, technology, research and development, client, and client lists, price and cost information, merchandising opportunities, expansion plans, designs, store plans, customer,
supplier and subcontractor identities, characteristics and agreements, and salary, staffing and employment information (“Confidential Information”).

the beginning of the world until the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, any claims arising in any way out of Executive’s employment with the Corporation or the termination of Executive’s employment with the Corporation. The

Section 6(a) of this Agreement (but no other portion of such waiver) or (ii) filing a charge or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC, the NLRB, or a
comparable state or local agency, but Executive agrees to waive any and all rights to recover monetary damages in any charge, complaint, or lawsuit filed by Executive or by anyone else on Executive’s behalf. 

7. Certain Forfeitures in Event of Breach. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that Executive breaches or has breached any obligation under this Agreement, Executive will forfeit immediately Executive’s right to receive any unpaid payments and benefits set forth in paragraph 1 herein, and to the
extent any payments have been made by the Corporation, upon written demand by the Corporation Executive shall immediately return such payments to the Corporation. The Executive shall also reimburse the Corporation for any reasonable attorney’s
fees and expenses incurred by the Corporation to recover such payments. If the Corporation breaches the terms of this Agreement, than the Corporation will reimburse Executive for any reasonable expenses or damages incurred by Executive as a result
of the breach, including reasonable attorney’s fees. 
 8. No Admission of Liability. Executive acknowledges and
agrees that any payments or benefits provided to Executive under the terms of this Agreement do not constitute an admission by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees that they have violated any law or legal obligation
with respect to any aspect of Executive’s employment with the Corporation. 
 9. Entire Agreement. The Corporation
and Executive each represent and warrant that no promise or inducement has been offered or made except as herein set forth and that the consideration stated herein is the sole consideration for this Agreement. This Agreement is a complete and entire
agreement and states fully all agreements, understandings, promises and commitments as between the Corporation and Executive and as to the termination of their relationship; this Agreement supersedes and cancels any and all other negotiations,
understandings and agreements, oral or written, respecting the subject matter hereof, including any prior employment agreements (including the Employment Agreement), between the Corporation and the Executive; and this Agreement may not be modified
except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, or discharge is sought. 
 10. No Transfer. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of to any third party, by operation of law or otherwise, any
action, cause of action, suit, debt, obligations, account, contract, agreement, covenant, guarantee, controversy, judgment, damage, claim, counterclaim, liability or demand of any nature whatsoever relating to any matter covered by this Agreement.

 11. Assignability, Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, Venue. This Agreement is personal to Executive and the Executive may
not assign, pledge, delegate or otherwise transfer to any person or entity any of Executive’s rights, obligations or duties under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and enforced pursuant to the
laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The parties hereto waive any defense of lack of jurisdiction or venue regarding a party not being a resident of New York and

  
 6 

 
hereby specifically authorize any action brought by either party to this Agreement to be instituted and prosecuted in any state or federal court located in the State of New York, County of New
York. Further, the parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement. 
 12. Enforceability. Each of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are separate and independent covenants, each of which has been separately bargained for and the parties hereto
intend that the provisions of each such covenant shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible. Should the whole or any part or provision of any such separate covenant be held or declared invalid, such invalidity shall not in any way affect
the validity of any other such covenant or of any part or provision of the same covenant not also held or declared invalid. If any covenant shall be found to be invalid but would be valid if some part thereof were deleted or the period or area of
application reduced, then such covenant shall apply with such minimum modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision hereunder will
in no way affect the right of that party thereafter to enforce the same, nor will it affect any other party’s right to enforce the same, or to enforce any of the other provisions in this Agreement; nor will the waiver by either party of the
breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.

support of his to-be-named successor. 

  

	 	D.	Long may use any accrued but unused flexible time off (“FTO”) prior to the Termination Date. 

 

	 	E.	The parties hereto wish to settle and compromise fully and finally any and all claims Long has or purports to have against Synaptics and others, including, but not
limited to, those arising out of Long’s employment and the termination of his employment, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

 COVENANTS 
 In consideration of the mutual promises in this Agreement, it
is agreed as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Termination. Long and Synaptics agree that, except as set forth herein, Long will provide transition services to Synaptics through February 11, 2013 (the
“Transition Period”). On the Termination Date, Long’s employment at Synaptics will be terminated. 

  

	 	a.	Salary and Benefits. During the Transition Period, Long will remain on Synaptics’ payroll as a full-time regular employee and continue to receive his full salary
and all benefits, and will accrue additional FTO. During the Transition Period, Synaptics will continue to match his 401k contribution and he will continue his eligibility to participate in Synaptics’ Employee Stock Purchase Plan. On the
Termination Date, Long will be paid his unused FTO that has accrued as of February 12, 2013 and all employment-related payments owed as of the Termination Date. 

 

	 	b.	Targeted Incentive Bonus. Synaptics shall pay to Long 100% of the FY 2013 First half of his annual targeted incentive bonus in the amount of Eighty-seven Thousand Seven
Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($87,750.00), less applicable withholdings, in a single lump sum payment on Synaptics’s next regularly scheduled pay date after the Termination Date. 

  
 1 

	 	c.	Stock Options and RSUs. As of the Termination Date, all unvested options and RSUs shall cease to vest. Vested options and RSUs shall be exercisable for six

	 	d.	Other Incentives. An additional One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000.00), after taxes, will be paid at signing in return for the cancellation of an incentive due to

	 	f.	Early Termination. Long and Synaptics understand and agree that, except as herein provided, Long shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in Paragraphs 1 (a), (b),
(e) and 2 unless Long commences employment with Atmel, Cypress Semiconductor, Melfas or Alps, at which time Long’s Transition Period shall end and his employment shall immediately terminate (the “Early Termination Date”). On the
Early Termination Date, Long will be paid his unused FTO that has accrued as of that date and all employment-related payments owed as of the Early Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Long understands and agrees he will continue to be
bound by the confidentiality obligations set forth in Paragraph 6 below.

deductions and withholdings. 

 In addition, Synaptics shall reimburse Long for up to six (6) months following
the Termination Date, the premium for Long and his dependents, if any, for continued health insurance benefits coverage currently provided to him inclusive of medical, dental and vision coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1986 (“COBRA”) provided that Long applies for such COBRA benefits (“COBRA Payments”). Synaptics shall provide Long with the right to elect whatever Group Health Plan Continuation Coverage to which Long and his dependents,
if any, are entitled, if at all, pursuant to COBRA. Following the period during which Long is entitled to receive reimbursements for COBRA Payments, payments for coverage pursuant to COBRA will be Long’s full and exclusive responsibility and
Long acknowledges Synaptics will not be paying any portion of the COBRA premium payments for Long or his dependents, if any. 
  

	 	3.	No Entitlement. Long understands and agrees that he is receiving the consideration set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 in exchange for this Release, and Long is not
otherwise entitled to this consideration.

	 	4.	Release. The Release set forth in this section is effective as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

by, through, under or in concert with them (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Releasees”), from any and all claims, charges, complaints, liabilities, and obligations of any nature whatsoever, which Long may have against Synaptics or
any of the Releasees, whether now known or unknown, and whether asserted or unasserted, arising from any event or omission occurring prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. This Release does not affect rights or claims that may arise after

violation of these Acts or under any other theory of law or statute, including but not limited to, back pay, front pay, attorney’s fees, damages, interests, waiting time, penalties, reinstatement, or injunctive relief that could be assessed by

 (b) Synaptics on behalf of itself and its predecessors, parent, subsidiaries, affiliated
entities, and past and present officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, successors, representatives and assigns of each and all of them, does hereby release and forever discharge Long from any and all claims, rights, demands, actions,
causes of action, damages and liabilities of any and every kind, nature and character whatsoever, whether based on a tort, contract, statute, or any other theory of recovery, whether known or unknown, arising or that could have been asserted on or
before the Effective Date of this Agreement, excluding claims of fraud, intentional tort, misappropriation of trade secrets, and breach of duties, including, without limitation, breaches of any duty or obligation imposed upon Long under his
confidentiality obligations to Synaptics. 
 (c) Both Long and Synaptics acknowledge that California Civil Code Section 1542
states: 
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE
TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 

Notwithstanding California Civil Code Section 1542, both Long and Synaptics hereby enter into the waiver and release as set forth in
this Section 4 of this Agreement, subsections included, and waive all rights or defenses under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code. Long and Synaptics hereby agree that their respective rights under Section 1542 of the
California Civil Code are hereby waived with respect to the claims released in Section 4 of this Agreement. 
 (d) Long
acknowledges and agrees that the consideration he is receiving under this Agreement is sufficient consideration to support the release of all entities and persons identified in Section 4 of this Agreement, and that said consideration is in
addition to anything of value to which Long is entitled. 
 (e) Long agrees and represents that he has not filed, or caused to be
filed, any claim or charge with any adjudicative body, regulatory body, or agency arising out of his employment or termination of employment. 
 (f) Long specifically understands and acknowledges that the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, provides him the right to bring a claim against Synaptics if he believes that he has
been discriminated against on the basis of age. Long understands the rights afforded under this Act and agrees that he will not file any such claim or action against Synaptics and/or Releasees, including, but not limited to, back pay, front pay,
attorney’s fees, damages, reinstatements, or injunctive relief. 
 (g) Long does not intend to release claims that Long may
not release as a matter of law, including, but not limited to, claims for indemnity under California Labor Code 2802. 
 (h) To
the fullest extent permitted by law, at no time subsequent to the execution of this Agreement will Long pursue, or cause or knowingly permit the prosecution, in any state, federal or foreign court, or before any local, state, federal or
administrative agency, or any other tribunal, any charge, claim or action of any kind, nature and character whatsoever, known or unknown, which Long may now have, has ever had, or in the future may have against Releasees, which is based in whole or
in part on any matter covered by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall prohibit Long from filing a charge or complaint with a government agency such as, but not limited to, the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Labor, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, or other applicable state agency. However, Long understands and agrees that, by entering into this Agreements, he is
releasing any and all individual claims for relief.

	 	5.	Return of Property. Upon execution of this Agreement, Long agrees to return all items of Synaptics property he has or over which he has control, including but
not limited to all equipment belonging to Synaptics, all code and computer programs and information of whatever nature, tools, manuals, and any and all other materials, documents or information, including but not limited to confidential information
in his possession or control, and that he will retain no copies thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Long shall (a) retain his Synaptics laptop unless Long commences employment with Atmel, Cypress Semiconductor, Mefas or Alps; and
(b) have use of his Synaptics cell phone until the earlier of (i) the Early Termination Date or (ii) August 12, 2013, at which time he shall return the cell phone to Synaptics. 

 

	 	6.	Trade Secrets/Confidentiality. Long acknowledges that during the course of his employment, he had access to various trade secrets and confidential information of
Synaptics. Such information includes, but is not limited to, business plans, schematics, blue prints, software, hardware, financial information, manuals, training programs, profit margins, marketing plans, and customer and recruiting information.
Long agrees that he shall not disclose such information or use it in any way, at any time in the future, except to the extent such information becomes publicly available through lawful and proper means, or to the extent that Long is required to
disclose such information pursuant to subpoena. If such information is requested pursuant to a subpoena, Long must give immediate and timely notice to Synaptics, so that Synaptics has a reasonable opportunity to seek judicial relief to preclude
disclosure, if necessary. Without limitation, the prohibition in this section includes Long’s use of such information to directly or indirectly solicit any manufacturer, manufacturer’s representative, or customer of Synaptics with whom
Long had contact during his employment, and Long’s use of such information to directly or indirectly interfere with the advantageous business relationship(s) between Synaptics and any of its customers, vendors or suppliers.

  

	 	7.	Restrictive Covenants. 

  

	 	a.	Long acknowledges, represents and agrees that for a period of two (2) years from execution of this Agreement, he shall not directly or indirectly attempt to
encourage, induce, or otherwise solicit, directly or indirectly, any employee of Synaptics to breach his or her employment agreement with Synaptics, or to leave the employ of Synaptics. 

  
 5 

	 	b.	The Parties acknowledge that covenants and restrictions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement, subsections included, are necessary to protect the legitimate
business interests of Synaptics and do not prevent Long from earning a livelihood. The Parties agree that, if the scope of enforceability of any or all the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement is in any way disputed at any time, a court
may modify and enforce the covenant(s) to the extent it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances existing at that time. 

  

	 	c.	Long agrees that the breach by him of Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement, subsections included, could not reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an
action at law, and that Synaptics shall be entitled to injunctive relief which may include, but shall not be limited to, restraining Long from engaging in any activity that would breach this Agreement. However, no remedy conferred by any of the
specific provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement (including this paragraph), subsections included, is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy
given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity, or by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies by Synaptics shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

  

	 	8.	Sufficient Time to Review. A copy of this Agreement was delivered to Long on 8/13/2012. Long acknowledges that he has been given a period of twenty-one
(21) days within which to consider this Agreement, and that he has been given an opportunity to consult with an attorney of his own choosing in deciding whether to execute this Agreement. 

 

	 	9.	Revocation Period. Long understands that he has a period of seven (7) calendar days from the date he signs this Agreement to revoke this Agreement, and
that, should he decide to revoke it, within said seven days period, he shall not be entitled to the consideration recited herein. Long further understands that this Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until the expiration of the
seven-day period, and, therefore, that he shall not receive the consideration set forth herein until the revocation period has expired without Long exercising his right of revocation. Long agrees that he must provide written notice of revocation of
this Agreement to Jim Harrington, Synaptics Inc., 3120 Scott Blvd., Santa Clara, CA 95054, should he wish to exercise his rights to revoke this Agreement, within the revocation period. If this Agreement is not timely revoked, this Agreement will
become effective as of the expiration of the revocation period (“Effective Date”). 

  

	 	10.	Acknowledgements. Long acknowledges represents and warrants that he enters into this Agreement knowingly, voluntarily, free of duress or coercion, and with a
full understanding of all terms and conditions contained herein.

	 	11.	Headings. The headings are for convenience of the parties, and are not to be construed as terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

 

	 	12.	Confidentiality. Long agrees that he will keep the terms and fact of this Agreement confidential. Long will not disclose the existence of this Agreement or any
of its terms to anyone except his attorneys, accountants or immediate family members, unless required by law. 

  

	 	13.	Severability. Should any provision in this Agreement be declared or determined to be illegal or invalid (with the exception of Section 4, in whole or in
part, subsections included), the validity of the remaining parts, terms, or provisions shall not be affected and the illegal or invalid part, term, or provisions shall be deemed not to be part of this Agreement. 

 

	 	14.	Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes any prior and other writings with respect to the subject matter
of this Agreement, and is intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by them. 

  

	 	15.	Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 

 

	 	16.	Amendment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and may not be amended, supplemented, changed, or modified in any manner, orally or otherwise, except
by an instrument in writing of concurrent or subsequent date signed by the parties. 

  

	 	17.	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of each of the
parties. 

  

	 	18.	Non-Admission. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by Synaptics that it has acted wrongfully with respect to Long, and Synaptics
specifically denies the commission of any wrongful acts against Long. 

  

	 	19.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together constitute
one and the same instrument.
