	 Vesting: 
	The Options are not vested or exercisable as of the Grant Date. Subject to the provisions herein, all Options vest and become exercisable upon the Optionee’s re-election to the Board of
Directors of the Corporation at the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders currently scheduled for May 30, 2013 (the “Vesting Event”). All Options are forfeited if the Vesting Event does not occur for any reason.

  

	 Exercise Right Upon Termination: 
	Vested Options must be exercised within three years after the date Optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Expiration Date, whichever occurs first.

  

	1.	Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Plan or herein. 

 

	2.	Vesting Upon Change In Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, all Options subject to this
Agreement that were not previously vested and exercisable shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full. In addition, if upon the announcement of a Change in Control transaction no provision is made for the exercise, payment or lapse of
conditions or restrictions on the Award, or other procedure whereby the Optionee may realize the full benefit of the Award, then all Options granted hereunder that were not previously vested and exercisable, shall immediately become vested and
exercisable. 

  

	3.	Non-Transferable; Binding Effect. These Options may not be transferred except as provided for herein. All or any part of these Options may be transferred by
Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In addition, Optionee may transfer all or any part of any Option to “Immediate Family Members” pursuant to a gift (a transfer that is not for value) or a domestic relations
order, as defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933. “Immediate Family Members” means children, grandchildren, spouse or common law spouse, siblings or parents of the Optionee or bona fide trusts,
partnerships or other entities controlled by and of which all beneficiaries are Immediate Family Members of the Optionee. Any Options that are transferred are further conditioned on the Optionee and the Optionee’s transferees and Immediate
Family Members agreeing to abide by the Corporation’s then current stock option transfer guidelines. The terms of these Options shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, and successors of the Optionee.

	4.	Net-Settlement upon Exercise of the Option. These Options shall be exercised only in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Each exercise
shall be for no fewer than fifty (50) shares, other than an exercise for all remaining Option shares. Upon exercise of all or part of these Options, the Optionee shall receive from the Corporation the number of shares of Common Stock resulting
from the following formula: the total number of Options exercised less “shares for the option cost”. “Shares for the option cost” equals the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Options exercised divided by the Fair Market
Value of Common Stock at the time of exercise, rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Corporation shall pay the Optionee in cash the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value of the “shares for the option cost” exceeds the
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Options exercised. 

  

	5.	Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if

 M/A-COM TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS, INC. 
 2012 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE
PLAN 
 The M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2012 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan”) is comprised of two subplans as set forth below, each of which is intended to constitute a separate offering: the M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the M/A-COM Technology Solutions
Holdings, Inc. International Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 
 Subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 9 of each
subplan, the number of shares of Common Stock of M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) reserved for sale and authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, comprised of the M/A-COM
Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. International Employee Stock Purchase Plan, shall be: 
 (a) 1 million shares; plus 
 (b) an annual increase to be added as of the first day of
each fiscal year of the Company equal to the least of (i) 1.25% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (including the effect of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants, options and similar rights and
conversion of any outstanding securities convertible into Common Stock as of the last day of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii) 550,000 shares of Common Stock, and (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board;
provided that any shares from any such increases in previous years that are not actually issued shall continue to be available for issuance under the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 
 Shares issued under the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be drawn from authorized and unissued shares or shares now held or subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares. 

 M/A-COM TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS, INC. 

U.S. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
 SECTION 1. PURPOSE 
 The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its
Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Company. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code, but the Company makes
no representation of such status or undertaking to maintain such status. The provisions of the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the
Code. 
 SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS 
 Certain capitalized terms used in the Plan have the meanings set forth in Appendix A. 
 SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS 
 3.1 Initial Eligibility 

Except as provided in Section 3.2, each Employee shall become eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance with Section 4 on the first
Enrollment Date on or following the later of (a) the date such Employee begins employment and (b) the Effective Date. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary. 
 3.2 Limitations on Eligibility 
 The following Employees are not eligible to participate in
the Plan: 
 (a) Employees whose customary employment is twenty (20) hours or less per week; and 

(c) Employees who, immediately upon purchasing Shares under the Plan, would own directly or indirectly, an aggregate of five percent (5%) or more of
the total combined voting power or value of all outstanding shares of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary (and for purposes of this paragraph, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply, and stock which the Employee
may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the Employee). 
 SECTION 4. ENROLLMENT

 4.1 First Offering Period 

Any Eligible Employee immediately prior to the first Offering Period under the Plan will be automatically enrolled in the first Offering Period. An
Eligible Employee will be eligible to 

  
 US-1

 
continue participation in the first Offering Period only if such individual completes and signs an enrollment election form (or completes such other enrollment procedure established by the
Committee) and submits such enrollment election to the Company (a) no earlier than the effective date of the Form S-8 registration statement with respect to the issuance of Shares under the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and (b) no
later than ten (10) business days following the effective date of such S-8 registration statement or such other period of time as the Committee may determine (the “Enrollment Window”). An Eligible Employee’s failure to
submit the enrollment election form (or complete such other enrollment procedure permitted by the Committee) during the Enrollment Window will result in the automatic termination of such individual’s participation in the first Offering Period.

 4.2 Subsequent Offering Periods 
 Subsequent to commencement of the first Offering Period, any Eligible Employee may enroll in the Plan for an Offering Period by completing and signing an enrollment election form or by such other means as
the Committee shall prescribe and submitting such enrollment election to the Company in accordance with procedures established by the Committee on or before the Cut-Off Date with respect to such future Offering Period. 

4.3 Continuing Effectiveness of Enrollment Election 
 Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the enrollment election and the designated rate of payroll deduction shall continue for future Offering Periods unless the Participant changes or cancels, in
accordance with procedures established by the Committee, the enrollment election or designated rate of payroll deduction prior to the Cut-Off Date with respect to a future Offering Period or elects to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with
Section 8.1. 
 SECTION 5. GRANT OF OPTIONS ON ENROLLMENT 
 5.1 Option Grant 
 Enrollment by an Eligible Employee in the Plan as of an Enrollment Date
will constitute the grant by the Company to such Participant of an option on such Enrollment Date to purchase Shares from the Company pursuant to the Plan. 
 5.2 Option Expiration 
 An option granted to a Participant pursuant to the Plan shall
expire, if not terminated for any reason first, on the earliest to occur of: (a) the end of the Offering Period in which such option was granted; (b) the completion of the purchase of Shares under the option under Section 7; or
(c) the date on which participation of such Participant in the Plan terminates for any reason. 

  
 US-2

 5.3 Purchase of Shares 
 (a) An option granted to a Participant under the Plan shall give the Participant a right to purchase on a Purchase Date the largest number of whole Shares, as determined by the Committee, which the funds
accumulated in the Participant’s Account as of such Purchase Date will purchase at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that, unless the Committee determines otherwise for a future Offering Period or Purchase Period, no Participant
may purchase during a Purchase Period more than 1,500 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 of the Plan. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent required by Section 423 of the Code, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (or any other plan of the Company or a Subsidiary intended to qualify under
Section 423 of the Code) which would permit the Employee to purchase Shares under the Plan (and such other plan) in any calendar year with a Fair Market Value (determined at the time such option is granted) in excess of $25,000. 

(c) Any payments made by a Participant in excess of the limitations of this Section 5.3 shall be returned to the Participant in accordance with
procedures established by the Committee. 
 SECTION 6. PAYMENT 
 (a) The Committee may designate the time and manner for payment of Shares to be purchased during the Purchase Period, including, but not limited to, through payroll deductions from Eligible Compensation,
the terms and conditions of which are designated by the Committee; provided, however, that unless the Committee determines otherwise for a future Purchase Period, any payroll deductions must be in one percent (1%) increments comprising not less
than one percent (1%) and not more than fifteen percent (15%) of a Participant’s Eligible Compensation received on each pay day during the Purchase Period. Payment amounts shall be credited on a bookkeeping basis to a
Participant’s Account under the Plan. All payment amounts may be used by the Company for any purpose and the Company shall have no obligation to segregate such funds. No interest accrues on payments by Participants. 

(b) Any payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first pay day following the Enrollment Date and will end on the last pay day prior to
the Purchase Date; provided, however, that for the first Offering Period, payroll deductions will commence on the first pay day on or following the end of the Enrollment Window. 

SECTION 7. PURCHASE OF SHARES 
 7.1 Option Exercise 
 Any option held by a Participant that was granted under the Plan and
that remains outstanding as of a Purchase Date shall be deemed to have been exercised on such Purchase Date for the number of whole Shares, as determined by the Committee, that the funds 

  
 US-3

 
accumulated in the Participant’s Account as of the Purchase Date will purchase at the applicable Purchase Price (but not in excess of the number of Shares for which options have been granted
to the Participant pursuant to Section 5.3). Options for other Shares for which options have been granted that are not purchased on the last Purchase Date during the Offering Period shall terminate. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an
option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Committee may
require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares. 

7.2 Refund of Excess Amount 
 If, after a
Participant’s exercise of an option under Section 7.1, an amount remains credited to the Participant’s Account as of a Purchase Date (including after return of any amount pursuant to Section 5.3(c)), then the remaining amount
shall be (a) if no further Purchase Periods are immediately contemplated by the Committee, distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible, or (b) if another Purchase Period is contemplated by the Committee, carried
forward in the Account for application to the purchase of Shares on the next following Purchase Date. 
 7.3 Employees of Subsidiary

 In the case of Participants employed by a Designated Subsidiary, the Committee may provide for Shares to be sold through the Subsidiary to
such Participants, to the extent consistent with Section 423 of the Code. 
 7.4 Pro Rata Allocation 

If the total number of Shares for which options are or could be exercised on any Purchase Date in accordance with this Section 7, when aggregated
with all Shares for which options have been previously exercised under the Plan, exceeds the maximum number of Shares reserved in Section 12, the Company may, in accordance with Section 12, allocate the Shares available for delivery and
distribution in the ratio that the balance in each Participant’s Account bears to the aggregate balances of all Participants’ Accounts, and the remaining balance of the amount credited to the Account of each Participant under the Plan
shall be returned to him or her as promptly as possible. 
 7.5 Notice of Disposition 

If a Participant or former Participant who is subject to United States federal income tax sells, transfers, or otherwise makes a disposition of Shares
purchased pursuant to an option granted under the Plan, then such Participant or former Participant shall notify the Company or the Employer in writing of such sale, transfer or other disposition within ten (10) days of the

  
 US-4

 
consummation of such sale, transfer, or other disposition. Without limitation on the Participant’s or former Participant’s ability to sell, transfer or otherwise make a disposition of
Shares and without limitation on Section 11.2, Participants and former Participants must maintain any Shares purchased pursuant to an option granted under the Plan within two (2) years after the date such option is granted or within one
(1) year after the date such Shares were transferred to the Participant at the broker designated by the Committee, unless the Committee determines otherwise. 
 SECTION 8. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN, TERMINATION 
 OF EMPLOYMENT, AND
LEAVES OF ABSENCE 
 8.1 Withdrawal From the Plan 
 A Participant may withdraw all funds accumulated in the Participant’s Account from the Plan during any Purchase Period by delivering a notice of withdrawal to the Company or the Employer (in a manner
prescribed by the Committee) at any time up to but not including the ten (10) days prior to the Purchase Date for such Purchase Period, or by such longer time period in advance of the Purchase Date as the Committee may require. If notice of
complete withdrawal from the Plan as described in the preceding sentence is timely received, the Company or the Employer will cease the Participant’s payroll withholding for the Plan and all funds then accumulated in the Participant’s
Account shall not be used to purchase Shares, but shall instead be distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible. An Employee who has withdrawn from a Purchase Period may not return funds to the Company or the Employer during
that Purchase Period and require the Company or the Employer to apply those funds to the purchase of Shares. Any Eligible Employee who has withdrawn from the Plan may, however, re-enroll in the Plan as of the next subsequent Enrollment Date, if any,
in accordance with Section 4.2. 
 8.2 Termination of Participation 
 Participation in the Plan terminates immediately on the date on which a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or the Employer for any reason whatsoever or otherwise ceases to be an Eligible
Employee, and all funds then accumulated in the Participant’s Account shall not be used to purchase Shares, but shall instead be distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible. 

8.3 Leaves of Absence 
 If a Participant
takes a leave of absence, such Participant shall have the right, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Committee, to elect to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 8.1. To the extent determined by the Committee or required
by Section 423 of the Code, certain leaves of absence may be treated as cessations of employment for purposes of the Plan. 

  
 US-5

 SECTION 9. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, 

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS 
 9.1 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization 
 Subject to any required action by the
stockholders of the Company, the right to purchase Shares covered by a current Offering Period and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan for any future Offering Period, the maximum number of Shares each
Participant may purchase each Offering or Purchase Period (pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof), as well as the price per Share and the number of Shares covered by each right under the Plan which have not yet been purchased shall be proportionately
adjusted in the sole discretion of the Committee for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, combination or reclassification of the
Common Stock, or recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Except as expressly provided otherwise by the
Committee, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares.

 9.2 Adjustment Upon Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Sale of Assets 
 Without limitation on the preceding provisions, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s outstanding voting securities,
sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or any similar transaction as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee may make such adjustment it deems appropriate to
prevent dilution or enlargement of rights in the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under Section 12, in the number, class of or price of Shares available for purchase under the Plan and in the number of Shares which a
Participant is entitled to purchase and any other adjustments it deems appropriate. Without limiting the Committee’s authority under the Plan, in the event of any such transaction, the Committee may elect to have the options hereunder assumed
or such options substituted by a successor entity, to terminate all outstanding options either prior to their expiration or upon completion of the purchase of Shares on the next Purchase Date, to shorten the Offering Period by setting a new Purchase
Date, or to take such other action deemed appropriate by the Committee. 
 SECTION 10. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

 Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or
successively) to whom the amount in his or her Account is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a
form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, any Account balance remaining unpaid at the
Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. 

  
 US-6

 SECTION 11. ADMINISTRATION 
 11.1 Administration by Committee 
 The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee shall have the authority to delegate duties to officers, directors or employees of the Company. 
 11.2 Authority of Committee

 The Committee shall have the full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan and options granted under it;
to establish, amend, and revoke rules and regulations for administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, the determination and change of Offering Periods, Purchase Periods and payment procedures, the requirement that Shares be held by a
specified broker, and the establishment of the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars); to determine all questions of eligibility, disputed claims and policy that may arise in the administration of the
Plan; to make any changes to the Plan or its operations to reduce or eliminate any unfavorable legal, accounting or other consequences to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee; and, generally, to exercise such powers and perform such acts
as the Committee deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company, including, but not limited to, designating from time to time which Subsidiaries of the Company shall be part of the Employer. The Committee’s
determinations as to the interpretation and operation of the Plan shall be final and conclusive and each action of the Committee shall be binding on all persons. 
 In exercising the powers described in the foregoing paragraph, the Committee may adopt special or different rules for the operation of the Plan including, but not limited to, rules which allow employees
of any foreign Subsidiary to participate in, and enjoy the tax benefits offered by, the Plan; provided, however, that such rules shall not result in any grantees of options having different rights and/or privileges under the Plan in violation of
Section 423 of the Code nor otherwise cause the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
 11.3 Administrative Modifications 
 The Plan provisions relating to the administration of
the Plan may be modified by the Committee from time to time as may be desirable to satisfy any requirements of or under the federal securities and/or other applicable laws of the United States, to obtain any exemption under such laws, or to reduce
or eliminate any unfavorable legal, accounting or other consequences or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Committee. 

  
 US-7

 SECTION 12. NUMBER OF SHARES 
 Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 9, the number of Shares reserved for sale and authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is: 

 

	(a)	1 million shares; plus 

 (b) an annual
increase to be added as of the first day of each fiscal year of the Company equal to the least of (i) 1.25% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (including the effect of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
outstanding warrants, options and similar rights and conversion of any outstanding securities convertible into Common Stock as of the last day of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii) 550,000 shares of Common Stock, and
(iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board; provided that any shares from any such increases in previous years that are not actually issued shall continue to be available for issuance under the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 

Accordingly, the number of Shares authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan is the number of Shares specified above less the number of Shares issued
pursuant to the M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. International Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If any option granted under the Plan shall for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the Shares not purchased under such option
shall again become available for issuance under the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If on a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of Shares then available under the Plan,
the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practical and as it shall determine to be equitable. 

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS 

13.1 Restrictions on Transfer 
 Options
granted under the Plan to a Participant may not be exercised during the Participant’s lifetime other than by the Participant. Neither amounts credited to a Participant’s Account nor any rights with respect to the exercise of an option or
to receive stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or by a beneficiary designation as permitted by Section 10.
Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 8.1. 

13.2 Administrative Assistance 
 If the
Committee in its discretion so elects, it may retain a brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution to assist in the purchase of Shares, delivery of reports, or other administrative aspects of the Plan. If the Committee so elects, each
Participant shall (unless prohibited by applicable law) be deemed upon enrollment in the Plan to have authorized the

Committee. 
 13.3 Treatment of Non-U.S. Participants 
 Participants who are employed by non-U.S. Designated Subsidiaries, who are paid in foreign currency, and who contribute foreign currency to the Plan through contributions or payroll deductions will have
such contributions converted to U.S. dollars. The exchange rate and method for such conversion will be determined as prescribed by the Committee. In no event will any procedure implemented for dealing with exchange rate fluctuations that may occur
during an Offering Period result in a purchase price below the Purchase Price permitted under the Plan. Each Participant shall bear the risk of any currency exchange fluctuations (if applicable) between the date on which any Participant
contributions are converted to U.S. dollars and the following Purchase Date. 
 13.4 Withholding 

The Company or any Employer shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or any member of
the Employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. 

13.5 Equal Rights and Privileges 
 All
Eligible Employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to the Plan so that the Plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code and the
related regulations. Notwithstanding the express terms of the Plan, any provision of the Plan which is inconsistent with Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code shall without further act or amendment by the Company or the Committee
be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. This Section 13.5 shall take precedence over all other provisions in the Plan. 
 13.6 Applicable Law 
 The Plan shall be governed by the substantive laws (excluding the
conflict of laws rules) of the State of Delaware. 
 13.7 Amendment and Termination 

The Board may amend, alter or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that (a) the Plan may not be amended in a way that will cause rights
issued under the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of Section 423 of the Code and (b) no amendment that would amend or modify the Plan in a manner requiring stockholder approval under Section 423 of the Code or the requirements of
any securities exchange on which the Shares are traded shall be effective unless such stockholder approval is obtained. In addition, the Committee may amend the Plan as provided in Section 11.3, subject to the conditions set forth in this
Section 13.7. 

  
 US-9

 If the Plan is terminated prior to the date set forth in Section 13.8, the Committee may elect to
terminate all outstanding options either prior to their expiration or upon completion of the purchase of Shares on the next Purchase Date, or may elect to permit options to expire in accordance with their terms (and participation to continue through
such expiration dates). If the options are terminated prior to expiration, all funds accumulated in Participants’ Accounts as of the date the options are terminated shall be returned to the Participants as soon as administratively feasible.

 13.8 Term of Plan 
 Unless
sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall automatically terminate on the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (a) the date the Board adopts the Plan and (b) the date the stockholders approve the Plan. After the Plan terminates in
accordance with the foregoing sentence, no future options may be granted under the Plan, but options previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and conditions and the Plan’s terms and conditions. 

13.9 No Right of Employment 
 Neither the
grant nor the exercise of any rights to purchase Shares under the Plan nor anything in the Plan shall impose upon the Company or any member of the Employer any obligation to employ or continue to employ any Employee. The right of the Company or a
member of the Employer to terminate any Employee shall not be diminished or affected because any rights to purchase Shares have been granted to such Employee. 
 13.10 Rights as Stockholder 
 No Participant shall have any rights as stockholder unless and
until Shares have been issued to him or her. 
 13.11 Governmental Regulation 
 The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Shares under the Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, or sale of such

reason.

accrues on payments by Participants.

Enrollment Date and will end on the last pay day prior to the Purchase Date; provided, however, that for the first Offering Period, payroll deductions will commence on the first pay day on or following the end of the Enrollment Window. 

SECTION 7. PURCHASE OF SHARES 
 7.1 Option Exercise 
 Any option held by a Participant that was granted under the Plan and
that remains outstanding as of a Purchase Date shall be deemed to have been exercised on such Purchase Date for the number of whole Shares, as determined by the Committee, that the funds accumulated in the Participant’s Account as of the
Purchase Date will purchase at the applicable Purchase Price (but not in excess of the number of Shares for which options have been granted to the Participant pursuant to Section 5.3). Options for other Shares for which options have been
granted that are not purchased on the last Purchase Date during the Offering Period shall terminate. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant
thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Committee may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares. 

7.2 Refund of Excess Amount 
 If, after a
Participant’s exercise of an option under Section 7.1, an amount remains credited to the Participant’s Account as of a Purchase Date (including after return of any amount pursuant to Section 5.3), then the remaining amount shall

 If the total number of Shares for which options are or could be exercised on any Purchase Date in accordance with this Section 7, when aggregated with all Shares for which options have been
previously exercised under the Plan, exceeds the maximum number of Shares reserved in Section 12, the Company may, in accordance with Section 12, allocate the Shares available for delivery and distribution in the ratio that the balance in
each Participant’s Account bears to the aggregate balances of all Participants’ Accounts, and the remaining balance of the amount credited to the Account of each Participant under the Plan shall be returned to him or her as promptly as
possible. 
 SECTION 8. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN, TERMINATION 

OF EMPLOYMENT, AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE 
 8.1 Withdrawal From the Plan 
 A Participant may withdraw all funds accumulated in the
Participant’s Account from the Plan during any Purchase Period by delivering a notice of withdrawal to the Company or the Employer (in a manner prescribed by the Committee) at any time up to but not including the ten (10) days prior to the
Purchase Date for such Purchase Period, or by such longer time period in advance of the Purchase Date as the Committee may require. If notice of complete withdrawal from the Plan as described in the preceding sentence is timely received, the Company
or the Employer will cease the Participant’s payroll withholding for the Plan and all funds then accumulated in the Participant’s Account shall not be used to purchase Shares, but shall instead be distributed to the Participant as soon as
administratively feasible. An Employee who has withdrawn from a Purchase Period may not return funds to the Company or the Employer during that Purchase Period and require the Company or the Employer to apply those funds to the purchase of Shares.
Any Eligible Employee who has withdrawn from the Plan may, however, re-enroll in the Plan as of the next subsequent Enrollment Date, if any, in accordance with Section 4.2. 
 8.2 Termination of Participation 
 Participation in the Plan terminates immediately on the
date on which a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or the Employer for any reason whatsoever or otherwise ceases to be an Eligible Employee, and all funds then accumulated in the Participant’s Account shall not be used to purchase
Shares, but shall instead be distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible. 
 8.3 Leaves of Absence 

If a Participant takes a leave of absence, such Participant shall have the right, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Committee, to elect to
withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 8.1. To the extent determined by the Committee, certain leaves of absence may be treated as cessations of employment for purposes of the Plan.

 9.1 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization 
 Subject to any required action by the
stockholders of the Company, the right to purchase Shares covered by a current Offering Period and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan for any future Offering Period, the maximum number of Shares each
Participant may purchase each Offering or Purchase Period (pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof), as well as the price per Share and the number of Shares covered by each right under the Plan which have not yet been purchased shall be proportionately
adjusted in the sole discretion of the Committee for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, combination or reclassification of the
Common Stock, or recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Except as expressly provided otherwise by the
Committee, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares.

 9.2 Adjustment Upon Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Sale of Assets 
 Without limitation on the preceding provisions, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s outstanding voting securities,
sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or any similar transaction as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee may make such adjustment it deems appropriate to
prevent dilution or enlargement of rights in the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under Section 12, in the number, class of or price of Shares available for purchase under the Plan and in the number of Shares which a
Participant is entitled to purchase and any other adjustments it deems appropriate. Without limiting the Committee’s authority under the Plan, in the event of any such transaction, the Committee may elect to have the options hereunder assumed
or such options substituted by a successor entity, to terminate all outstanding options either prior to their expiration or upon completion of the purchase of Shares on the next Purchase Date, to shorten the Offering Period by setting a new Purchase
Date, or to take such other action deemed appropriate by the Committee. 
 SECTION 10. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

 Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or
successively) to whom the amount in his or her Account is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a
form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, any Account balance remaining unpaid at the
Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

 SECTION 11. ADMINISTRATION

Committee shall have the authority to delegate duties to officers, directors or employees of the Company. 
 11.2 Authority of Committee

 The Committee shall have the full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan and options granted under it;
to establish, amend, and revoke rules and regulations for administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, the determination and change of Offering Periods, Purchase Periods and payment procedures, the requirement that Shares be held by a
specified broker, and the establishment of the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars); to determine all questions of eligibility, disputed claims and policy that may arise in the administration of the
Plan; to make any changes to the Plan or its operations to reduce or eliminate any unfavorable legal, accounting or other consequences to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee; and, generally, to exercise such powers and perform such acts
as the Committee deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company, including, but not limited to, designating from time to time which Subsidiaries of the Company shall be part of the Employer. The Committee’s
determinations as to the interpretation and operation of the Plan shall be final and conclusive and each action of the Committee shall be binding on all persons. The Committee may adopt special or different rules for the operation of the Plan for
different Participants, including, but not limited to, rules designed to accommodate the practices of the applicable jurisdiction. 
 11.3
Administrative Modifications 
 The Plan provisions relating to the administration of the Plan may be modified by the Committee from time to
time as may be desirable to satisfy any requirements of or under the securities or other applicable laws of the United States or other jurisdiction, to obtain any exemption under such laws, or to reduce or eliminate any unfavorable legal, accounting
or other consequences or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Committee. 
 SECTION 12. NUMBER OF SHARES

 Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 9, the number of Shares reserved for sale and authorized for issuance pursuant to the
2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is: 
 (a) 1 million shares; plus 
 (b) an annual increase to be added as of the first day of each fiscal year of the Company equal to the least of (i) 1.25% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis

  
 INT-6

 
(including the effect of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants, options and similar rights and conversion of any outstanding securities convertible into Common Stock as
of the last day of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii) 550,000 shares, and (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board; provided that any shares from any such increases in previous years that are not actually
issued shall continue to be available for issuance under the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 
 Accordingly, the number of Shares authorized
for issuance pursuant to the Plan is the number of Shares specified above less the number of Shares issued pursuant to the M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If any option granted under the Plan shall for
any reason terminate without having been exercised, the Shares not purchased under such option shall again become available for issuance under the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If on a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to
which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of Shares then available under the Plan, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practical and as it shall
determine to be equitable. 
 SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS 
 13.1 Restrictions on Transfer 
 Options granted under the Plan to a Participant may not be
exercised during the Participant’s lifetime other than by the Participant. Neither amounts credited to a Participant’s Account nor any rights with respect to the exercise of an option or to receive stock under the Plan may be assigned,
transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or by a beneficiary designation as permitted by Section 10. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge,
or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 8.1. 
 13.2 Administrative Assistance 
 If the Committee in its discretion so elects, it may retain
a brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution to assist in the purchase of Shares, delivery of reports, or other administrative aspects of the Plan. If the Committee so elects, each Participant shall (unless prohibited by applicable law) be
deemed upon enrollment in the Plan to have authorized the establishment of an account on his or her behalf at such institution. Shares purchased by a Participant under the Plan shall be held in the Account in the Participant’s name, or if the
Participant so indicates in the enrollment form, in the Participant’s name together with the name of his or her spouse in joint tenancy with right of survivorship or spousal community property, or in certain forms of trust approved by the
Committee.

 Participants who are employed by non-U.S. Designated Subsidiaries, who are paid in foreign currency, and who contribute foreign currency to the Plan through contributions or payroll

  
 INT-7

 
deductions will have such contributions converted to U.S. dollars. The exchange rate and method for such conversion will be determined as prescribed by the Committee. In no event will any
procedure implemented for dealing with exchange rate fluctuations that may occur during an Offering Period result in a purchase price below the Purchase Price permitted under the Plan. Each Participant shall bear the risk of any currency exchange
fluctuations (if applicable) between the date on which any Participant contributions are converted to U.S. dollars and the following Purchase Date. 
 13.4 Withholding 
 The Company or any Employer shall have the power and the right to deduct
or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or any member of the Employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a
result of the Plan. 
 13.5 Applicable Law 
 The Plan shall be governed by the substantive laws (excluding the conflict of laws rules) of the State of Delaware. 
 13.6 Amendment and Termination 
 The Board may amend, alter, or terminate the Plan at any
time; provided, however, that no amendment which would amend or modify the Plan in a manner requiring stockholder approval under the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Shares are traded shall be effective unless such stockholder
approval is obtained. In addition, the Committee may amend the Plan as provided in Section 11.3, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13.6. 
 If the Plan is terminated prior to the date set forth in Section 13.7, the Committee may elect to terminate all outstanding options either prior to their expiration or upon completion of the purchase
of Shares on the next Purchase Date, or may elect to permit options to expire in accordance with their terms (and participation to continue through such expiration dates). If the options are terminated prior to expiration, all funds accumulated in
Participants’ Accounts as of the date the options are terminated shall be returned to the Participants as soon as administratively feasible. 
 13.7 Term of Plan 
 Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall automatically
terminate on the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (a) the date the Board adopts the Plan and (b) the date the stockholders approve the Plan. After the Plan terminates in accordance with the foregoing sentence, no future options may be
granted under the Plan, but options previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and conditions and the Plan’s terms and conditions. 

  
 INT-8

 13.8 No Right of Employment 
 Neither the grant nor the exercise of any rights to purchase Shares under the Plan nor anything in the Plan shall impose upon the Company or any member of the Employer any obligation to employ or continue
to employ any Employee. The right of the Company or a member of the Employer to terminate any Employee shall not be diminished or affected because any rights to purchase Shares have been granted to such Employee.

Participant shall have any rights as stockholder unless and until Shares have been issued to him or her. 
 13.10 Governmental Regulation

 The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Shares under the Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required
