HSBC Bank USA, National Association, RBS Citizens, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and TD Bank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the credit agreement entered into by the Company, JPMorgan and the other parties
thereto on September&nbsp;30, 2011. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $300 million, which can be increased by $125 million

acquisitions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate. For alternate base rate loans, the interest rate is equal to the

fiscal quarter, a maximum leverage ratio of no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 (which may be increased to 2.75 to 1.00 for a limited period of time under certain circumstances), (iii)&nbsp;maintain, at the end of each fiscal quarter, a minimum fixed
charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.50 to 1.00, and (iv)&nbsp;maintain at all times a minimum liquidity equal or greater to $15 million; and (b)&nbsp;covenants prohibiting the Company from, among other things, (i)&nbsp;creating, incurring or
assuming additional indebtedness, (ii)&nbsp;creating certain liens on any of its properties or assets, (iii)&nbsp;selling, leasing or transferring any of its properties or assets, with certain exceptions, including sales of inventory and equipment
in the ordinary course of business, (iv)&nbsp;entering into certain merger, consolidation or other reorganization transactions with, or acquiring all or a substantial portion of the assets or equity interests of, any person or entity, subject to
certain permitted acquisitions, (iv)&nbsp;declaring, paying or making any dividend or distribution, (v)&nbsp;entering into certain swap agreements, and (vi)&nbsp;entering into sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to certain
exceptions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.&nbsp;If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is
continuing, then the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and the lenders will have the right to terminate the Credit Agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company and M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (&#147;MTS&#148;), a wholly-owned

HSBC Bank USA, National Association, RBS Citizens, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and TD Bank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the credit agreement entered into by the Company, JPMorgan and the other parties
thereto on September 30, 2011.
The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $300 million, which can be increased by $125 million
subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate, working capital and capital expenditures of the Company and its subsidiaries, including refinancing existing indebtedness and financing permitted
acquisitions.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate. For alternate base rate loans, the interest rate is equal to the
highest of (i) JPMorgan's prime rate, (ii) the daily federal funds effective rate as quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 0.5%, or (iii) a daily LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, in each case plus a margin ranging from 1.00%
to 1.50% based on certain conditions. For Eurodollar rate loans, the interest rate is equal to an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% based on certain conditions. The Credit Agreement requires quarterly interest payments
with respect to alternate base rate loans and at the end of each interest period with respect to Eurodollar rate loans.
The Credit Agreement matures on
September 26, 2018. The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive and financial covenants, including without limitation, (a) covenants requiring the Borrowers to (i) pay certain fees, (ii) maintain, at the end of each
fiscal quarter, a maximum leverage ratio of no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 (which may be increased to 2.75 to 1.00 for a limited period of time under certain circumstances), (iii) maintain, at the end of each fiscal quarter, a minimum fixed
charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.50 to 1.00, and (iv) maintain at all times a minimum liquidity equal or greater to $15 million; and (b) covenants prohibiting the Company from, among other things, (i) creating, incurring or
assuming additional indebtedness, (ii) creating certain liens on any of its properties or assets, (iii) selling, leasing or transferring any of its properties or assets, with certain exceptions, including sales of inventory and equipment
in the ordinary course of business, (iv) entering into certain merger, consolidation or other reorganization transactions with, or acquiring all or a substantial portion of the assets or equity interests of, any person or entity, subject to
certain permitted acquisitions, (iv) declaring, paying or making any dividend or distribution, (v) entering into certain swap agreements, and (vi) entering into sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to certain
exceptions.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is
continuing, then the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and the lenders will have the right to terminate the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company and M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. ("MTS"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, including all receivables, equipment, general intangibles, inventory, investment property, certain subsidiary stock and intellectual property of the Company and MTS. In addition, MTS guarantees the obligations of the
Company under the Credit Agreement. At closing of the Credit Agreement, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and no draws were made on the Credit Agreement.
