The Conditions are for Microsemi’s sole benefit and may be asserted by Microsemi, in its sole discretion, regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such Conditions (including any action or inaction on the part of Microsemi). Microsemi will have the right (but not the obligation) to waive the Conditions and to redeem the Notes. Microsemi also has the right to determine whether or not the Conditions have been satisfied and to terminate this Notice if the Conditions have not been satisfied on or prior to the date that is 60 days after the date of this Notice, if Microsemi determines that the Conditions may not be satisfied, or if the Merger Agreement has been terminated (and Microsemi may give a new notice of redemption in accordance with the Indenture). Microsemi’s decision as to whether or not the Conditions have been satisfied will be final and binding, and the Trustee will have no right to disagree with Microsemi’s conclusions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Payments on the Notes in connection with the redemption may be subject to information reporting. In addition, such amounts may be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax (currently imposed at a rate of 24%) if a U.S. holder fails to supply an accurate taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with applicable certification requirements. U.S. holders redeeming Notes pursuant to the redemption should complete an IRS Form W-9 (available on the IRS website at www.irs.gov) and provide it together with the Notes being surrendered. A non-U.S. holder not otherwise subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax may nonetheless be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax with respect to payments on the Notes in connection with the redemption of such Notes, unless the non-U.S. holder provides an applicable IRS Form W-8 (available on the IRS website at www.irs.gov) or otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding.
