 AWARD AGREEMENT 
 RESTRICTED STOCK TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

In accordance with a determination of the Board of Directors of Mindspeed Technologies, Inc., you have been awarded Restricted Stock
pursuant to the Company’s Inducement Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan. 

The Restricted Stock has been granted to you upon the following terms and conditions: 

 

	1.	Earning of Restricted Stock 

 You shall be deemed to have earned the Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement on the earlier of: 
  

	 	(a)	the vesting provisions as established in your Grant Letter; or 

  

	 	(b)	your death or Disability (as defined in Section 10). 

  

	2.	Retention of Certificates for Restricted Stock and Dividends 

To facilitate implementation of the provisions of this Agreement, certificates for the Restricted Stock and any dividends
or distributions thereon or in respect thereof (“Dividends”), whether in cash or otherwise (including but not limited to additional shares of Stock, other securities of the Company or securities of another entity, any such shares or other
securities being collectively referred to herein as “Stock Dividends”) shall be delivered to and held by the Company, or shall be held in book-entry form subject to the Company’s instructions, until you shall have earned the
Restricted Stock in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1. Additionally, you agree to provide such other documents appropriate to effectuate the purpose and intent of this Agreement as the Company may reasonably request from time to
time. 
  

	3.	Voting Rights 

 Notwithstanding the retention by the Company of certificates (or the right to give instructions with respect to shares held in book-entry form) for the Restricted Stock and any Stock Dividends, you shall
be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock and any Stock Dividends held by the Company in accordance with paragraph 2, unless and until such shares have been forfeited in accordance with paragraph 5.

	4.	Delivery of Earned Restricted Stock 

 As promptly as practicable after you shall have been deemed to have earned the Restricted Stock in accordance with paragraph 1, the Company shall deliver to you (or in the event of your death, to
your estate or any person who acquires your interest in the Restricted Stock by bequest or inheritance) the Restricted Stock, together with any Dividends then held by the Company (or subject to its instructions). 

 

	5.	Forfeiture of Unearned Restricted Stock and Dividends 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) if at any time it shall become impossible for you to earn any of the Restricted Stock in accordance with this Agreement, or (b) unless
determined otherwise by the Committee, in the event of a Termination of Employment (as defined below), all unearned Restricted Stock, together with any Dividends thereon, shall be forfeited, and you shall have no further rights of any kind or nature
with respect thereto. Upon any such forfeiture, the unearned Restricted Stock theretofore issued, together with any Dividends thereon, shall be transferred to the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, “Termination of Employment” shall
mean your termination of your employment as an employee of the Company for any reason, or the Company terminating your employment for Cause (as defined in Section 10), provided that (i) death, (ii) Disability, (iii) a transfer
from the Company to a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, whether or not incorporated, or vice versa, or from one Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to another and (iv) a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company,
shall not be deemed a Termination of Employment. 
  

	6.	Transferability 

 The Restricted Stock award is not transferable by you otherwise than (i) by will or by laws of descent and distribution, (ii) by gift to members of your immediate family, (iii) to a trust
established for the benefit of one or more members of your immediate family or (iv) as otherwise determined by the Committee. For purposes of this plan, “immediate family” shall mean your spouse and natural, adopted or step-children
and grandchildren. Notwithstanding any transfer of the Restricted Stock award or portion thereof, the transferred Restricted Stock award shall continue to be subject to the Plan and this Agreement’s terms and conditions as were applicable to
you immediately prior to the transfer, as if the Restricted Stock award had not been transferred.

you or any other person receiving delivery of the Restricted Stock and any Dividends an amount equal to the taxes required to be withheld by law with respect to such delivery, (ii) to require you or any other person receiving such delivery to
pay to it an amount sufficient to provide for any such taxes so required to be withheld or (iii) to sell such number of the Restricted Stock and any Stock Dividends as may be necessary so that the net proceeds of such sale shall be an amount
sufficient to provide for any such taxes so required to be withheld.
