Re:   Special Bonus

 

Dear Simon:

 

Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”)
is pleased to offer to pay you a special bonus of $100,000 (the “Special Bonus”),
less applicable state and federal tax withholding, in exchange for 12 months of
continued service to the Company.  You
agree that, if you voluntarily leave the Company or are terminated for cause on
or prior to the first anniversary of the date of this letter, you agree to
repay to the Company 100% of the gross amount of the Special Bonus within 30
days of such termination of employment. 
Accordingly, you agree that the Special Bonus shall not be deemed to be
earned until such time as you have been continuously employed by the Company
for 12 months as explained above.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “cause”
shall mean: (i) a material breach of your employment obligations with the
Company; (ii) your willful failure to follow the reasonable instructions of the
Company or its board of directors; (iii) willful misconduct that is in bad
faith and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise,
including but not limited to misappropriation of trade secrets, fraud, or
embezzlement; (iv) your conviction for fraud or any other felony; or (v) if you
exhibit in regard to your employment unfitness or unavailability for service,
unsatisfactory performance, misconduct, dishonest, habitual neglect, or
incompetence.

 

We appreciate your continuing contributions
to the Company’s success.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mindspeed Technologies, Inc.
