 Exhibit 10.92 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made on
                             , 200  , between MICROSEMI CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and                          (“Indemnitee”), an officer and/or member of
the Board of Directors of the Company. 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company
desires the benefits of having Indemnitee serve as an officer and/or director secure in the knowledge that expenses, liabilities and losses incurred by the Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s good faith service to the Company will be borne by the
Company or its successors and assigns in accordance with applicable law; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company desires that Indemnitee resist and defend against what Indemnitee may consider to be unjustified investigations, claims, actions, suits and proceedings which have arisen or may arise in the future
as a result of Indemnitee’s service to the Company notwithstanding that conditions in the insurance markets may make directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage unavailable, or available only at premium levels which the
Company may deem inappropriate to pay; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the
parties believe it appropriate to memorialize and reaffirm the Company’s indemnification obligations to Indemnitee and, in addition, set forth the indemnification agreements contained herein; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained,
the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Indemnification.
Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and applicable law, against all expenses, liabilities and loss (including attorneys’ fees and costs,
judgments, fines (including excise taxes), and amounts paid or to be paid in any settlement approved in advance by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) (collectively, “Indemnifiable Expenses”) actually and reasonably
incurred or suffered by Indemnitee in connection with any present or future threatened, pending or contemplated investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in
the right of the Company) (collectively, “Indemnifiable Litigation”), (i) to which Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of any action or inaction in Indemnitee’s capacity as a director or officer
of the Company, or (ii) with respect to which Indemnitee is otherwise involved by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or of any subsidiary or division of the Company, or any
constituent corporation (including a constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger with the Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the
purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If Indemnitee is entitled to 
  

 1 

 indemnification by the Company for some portion of the Indemnifiable Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount
thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
  
 2. Interim Expenses. The Company agrees to pay Indemnifiable Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Indemnifiable Litigation in
advance of the final disposition thereof, provided that the Company has received an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to repay the amount so paid to the extent that it is
ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise, and provided further that the Company shall not be required to make any such payment to the extent expressly prohibited by law.
The expenses to be paid by the Company hereunder shall be paid by the Company as soon as practicable and within forty-five (45) days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company. 
  
 3. Procedure for Making Demand. Indemnitee shall give the Company
notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement, but the omission to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it
may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement except if and to the extent that the Company’s rights or privileges are prejudiced by the delay or failure to give notice. Notice to the Company shall be directed to Microsemi Corporation, 2381 Morse
Avenue, Irvine, California 92614, Attn: Chief Executive Officer (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). Notice shall be deemed received three business days after the date postmarked and sent by certified or
registered mail, properly addressed; otherwise notice shall be deemed received when such notice shall actually be received by the Company. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require
and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power. No later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee, the Company shall determine whether indemnification is proper under this Agreement and applicable law by (1) a
majority vote of the members of the Board of Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less
than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders, and if it is determined that indemnification is proper then indemnification shall be
made within the above-described period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. 
  
 4. Failure to Indemnify. 
  
 (a) If a claim under this Agreement, or any statute, or under any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for
indemnification, is not paid in full by the Company, within forty-five (45) days after a written request for payment thereof has been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Company
to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 11 of this Agreement, if successful in whole or in part, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expense (including attorneys’ fees) of bringing such action.

  
 (b) It shall be a defense to such action (other than an action
brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the
Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but the burden of 
  

 2 

 proving such defense shall be on the Company and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of interim
expenses pursuant to Section 2 hereof unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. It is the parties’ intention that if the Company contests Indemnitee’s
right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have
made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board of
directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the
applicable standard of conduct. 
  
 5. Notice to Insurers.
If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company has director and/or officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding
in accordance with the terms of such policies. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee for Indemnifiable Expenses to the extent
such expenses or liabilities have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of officers’ and directors’ or similar liability insurance maintained by the Company. 
  
 6. Retention of Counsel. In the event that the Company shall be
obligated to pay Indemnifiable Expenses as a result of any proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable
to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by that Indemnitee with respect to that same proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in any such
proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense, and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the
Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the
Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Indemnifiable Litigation as to which Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in (B) above. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its prior written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement. The Company shall not
be obligated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to provide counsel, indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with
respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 
  

 3 

 7. Survival; Successors. This Agreement establishes contract rights which shall continue
indefinitely as to Indemnitee after Indemnitee ceases to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives of the parties
hereto. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 
  
 8. Mutual Acknowledgment. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge
that in certain instances, Federal or Delaware law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company may be
required in the future to undertake to the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee,
and, in that event, the Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to that determination. 
  
 9. Additional Indemnification Rights; Contract Rights Not Exclusive. The contract rights conferred by this Agreement shall be in addition to, but
not exclusive of, any other right which Indemnitee may have or may hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of
this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws or by statute. 
  
 10. Indemnitee’s Obligations. The Indemnitee shall reasonably promptly advise the Company in writing of the institution of any investigation,
claim, action, suit or proceeding which is or may be subject to this Agreement and keep the Company generally informed of, and consult with the Company with respect to, the status of any such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding. Notices
to the Company shall be directed to Microsemi Corporation, 2381 Morse Avenue, Irvine, California 92614, Attn: Chief Executive Officer (or other such address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). Notice shall be deemed received
three days after the date postmarked if sent by certified or registered mail, properly addressed. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s
power. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary
to secure such rights and to enable the Company to effectively bring suit to enforce such rights. 
  
 11. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms
hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action, unless as a part of such action, a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action were not made in good faith or were frivolous. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement, or to enforce or
interpret any other terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled 
  

 4 

 to be paid all court costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action
(including with respect to Indemnitee’s counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as a part of such action the court determines that each of Indemnitee’s material defenses to such action were not made in good faith or
were frivolous. 
  
 12. Severability. Should any provision
of this Agreement, or any clause hereof, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions and clauses of this Agreement shall remain fully enforceable and binding on the parties. 
  
 13. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment
of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether of not similar)
nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
  
 14.
Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in
any applicable law, statute, or rule that expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes shall be deemed to be within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and the
Company’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the
extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Indemnification Agreement as of the day and year first written above.

 SUMMARY OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT OF MICROSEMI CORPORATION 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 Introduction 
  
 Our Board of Directors is being asked to approve the indemnification agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto,
to be entered into between Microsemi Corporation (the “Company”) and our directors and certain officers. 
  
 Our Board of Directors believes that the use of the indemnification agreement will serve the best interests of the Company and our stockholders by
strengthening our ability to attract and retain the services of knowledgeable and experienced persons to serve as directors and officers, who through their efforts and expertise, can make a significant contribution to our success. 
  
 Any award of indemnification to an indemnitee, if not covered by insurance,
would come directly from our assets, thereby affecting a stockholder’s investment. 
  
 Indemnification Agreement Terms 
  
 The
indemnification agreement provides the indemnitees with the maximum indemnification allowed under applicable law. In addition, since the relevant Delaware statute is non-exclusive, it is possible that certain claims beyond the scope of the statute
may be indemnifiable. The indemnification agreement does not provide indemnification for liabilities where the law prohibits indemnification, such as regarding expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by the indemnitee
of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The indemnification agreement provides a scheme of indemnification which may be broader than that specifically provided by Delaware law. It has not yet
been determined, however, to what extent the indemnification expressly permitted by Delaware law may be expanded, and therefore the scope of indemnification provided by the indemnification agreement may be subject to future judicial interpretation.

  
 The indemnification agreement provides that we shall indemnify
an indemnitee who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any present or future threatened, pending or contemplated investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The indemnification agreements will apply to conduct of our indemnitees occurring prior to the effective date of
such agreements. 
  
 We shall pay all expenses incurred by the
indemnitee in connection with any indemnifiable occurrence in advance of the ultimate determination of whether the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The amounts paid to or on behalf of the indemnitee shall be delivered within 45 days
following a written request by the indemnitee. The indemnitee shall repay such amounts paid in advance of such determination only if it shall be ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified. The determination of whether or
not the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall be made by (1) a majority vote of the members of the Board of Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority
vote of such directors, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
