All equity awards described below were made pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and will be effective as of the close of business on December 18, 2008. The exercise price of each option grant described below is equal to $6.84, the closing price of the Company’s common shares as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 18, 2008.

Approval of Compensation Arrangements for Chief Executive Officer

The Committee approved the following compensation arrangements for Dr. Sehat Sutardja, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer:

(i) In connection with its approval of a broad-based focal grant to the Company’s employees, the Committee approved the grant of (A) a time-based option to purchase 300,000 common shares, with 25% of the shares to vest on each one-year anniversary of the December 15, 2008 vesting period commencement date, and (B) a performance-based option to purchase 390,000 common shares. Each option has a term of 10 years from the date of grant; provided that if the shares subject to the performance-based option shall not have become vested and fully exercisable as of the “10-K Due Date” (as defined below) for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2014, the performance-based option will terminate and be of no further force or effect.

In accordance with the form of “Notice of Grant of Stock Options and Option Agreement – Performance Based” attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 (the “Grant Notice”), the grant of the stock option subject to the performance-based vesting will be divided into four separate and equal annual performance tranches (each a “Tranche”) of 97,500 unvested options. Each Tranche will be associated with one of four complete fiscal years, beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2010 and ending with the Company’s fiscal year 2013. The Tranche for any fiscal year will become vested and fully exercisable as of the “10-K Due Date” if the Company’s “Modified GAAP Operating Margin” for such fiscal year is equal to or greater than the 60 ^th percentile of the comparably calculated operating margin for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or before the Company’s fiscal year for the Company’s “Performance Peer Group” (the “Performance Threshold”). If the Company’s Modified GAAP Operating Margin for any fiscal year performance period is less than the applicable Performance Threshold, the options for such Tranche shall not vest immediately, but shall be added to the unvested options of the following year’s Tranche. If at the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2013, any performance-based stock options remain unvested as a result of the Performance Threshold not having been achieved for the Company’s fiscal year 2013, then such shares shall become eligible to vest in a final fifth annual Tranche associated with the Company’s fiscal year 2014. If any performance shares remain unvested as a result of the Performance Threshold not having been achieved for the Company’s fiscal year 2014, the remaining unvested options shall expire. “10-K Due Date” means, with respect to a fiscal year, the prescribed due date on which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year. “Modified GAAP Operating Margin” with respect to a company shall mean its operating margin determined by adjusting operating margin calculated under generally accepted accounting principles to exclude the impact of (i) non-cash stock-based compensation charges recognized under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (R) and (ii) non-cash acquisition-related charges, including intangible amortization and in-process research and development charges. “Performance Peer Group” shall mean the group of companies identified in the Grant Notice, provided that if the list of companies remaining in the Performance Peer Group is less than eight for any calculation period, the Performance Peer Group will be expanded to include the U.S.-based publicly traded companies in the Philadelphia Stock Exchange’s Semiconductor Index, or SOX, at that point in time.

(ii) The Committee restored, without increase, Dr. Sehat Sutardja’s annual salary to $657,000.00 (from $1.00) effective December 15, 2008. On January 11, 2008, at the request of Dr. Sehat Sutardja, the Compensation Committee had approved a reduction in the annual salary of Dr. Sehat Sutardja to $1.00 from $657,000.00, effective as of January 11, 2008.
