CUSIP No. 82966T106
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
     This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 303 South Technology Court, Broomfield, Colorado 80021.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
(a)-(c), (f) This Schedule 13D is being filed by RF Micro Devices, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Reporting Person”). The Reporting Person’s principal business is the design and manufacture of high-performance radio systems and solutions for applications that drive mobile communications.
     As a result of entering into the voting agreements with certain stockholders of the Issuer described in Items 3 and 4 below, the Reporting Person may be deemed to have formed a “group” with each of the Stockholders (as defined in Item 3 below) for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) thereunder. The Reporting Person expressly declares that the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission by it that it has formed any such group.
     To the best of the Reporting Person’s knowledge as of the date hereof, the name, residence or business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each executive officer and director of the Reporting Person, and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted is set forth in Schedule A hereto. The information contained in Schedule A is incorporated herein by reference.
(d) – (e) During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the executive officers or directors of the Reporting Person, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
     On August 12, 2007, the Reporting Person, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person (“Merger Sub”), and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “First Merger”), and then the Issuer, as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person, will merge with and into the Reporting Person (such merger together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with the Reporting Person being the ultimate surviving entity. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), will be converted in the First Merger into a combination of 1.7848 shares of Reporting Person’s common stock, no par value per share, and $5.56 in cash, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. Outstanding options to purchase Issuer’s Common Stock will be assumed by the Reporting Person in the First Merger and converted into options to purchase the Reporting Person’s common stock, based on a formula as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
     As an inducement for the Reporting Person to enter into the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of the Issuer identified in Item 7 herein (collectively, the “Stockholders”) entered into voting agreements and irrevocable proxies with and in favor of the Reporting Person dated as of August 12, 2007 (the “Voting Agreements”). Pursuant to the

 


Table of Contents

CUSIP No. 82966T106
Voting Agreements, the Stockholders, who collectively beneficially own 12,380,183 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (including 724,687 shares subject to options), representing approximately 23.3% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock as of August 10, 2007, have agreed, in their respective capacities as stockholders of the Issuer, to vote (or cause to be voted) their shares of Common Stock of the Issuer: (a) in favor of: (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (ii) the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (b) against the following actions: (i) any extraordinary merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) any sale or other transfer of a material portion of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Issuer; (v) any amendment to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Issuer or its corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to interfere with, delay or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Stockholders have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of the shares subject to the Voting Agreement, except in certain limited circumstances. The purpose of the Voting Agreements is to facilitate the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
     Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, the Reporting Person, as well as Robert A. Bruggeworth and Jerry D. Neal, the Reporting Person’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Development, respectively, were each appointed as the Stockholders’ attorneys-in-fact and irrevocable proxies for the limited purposes set forth above, with respect to any meeting of the stockholders of Issuer or any consent in lieu of any such meeting or otherwise. The Voting Agreements terminate on the first to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, or (ii) the date of the First Merger. The name of each Stockholder and the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by each Stockholder is set forth on the signature page to each of the Voting Agreements. Each such signature page is incorporated herein by reference.
     This Schedule 13D does not report the acquisition of any shares of Common Stock by the Reporting Person and, as such, there is no use of funds or other consideration to report in this Schedule 13D.
     References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements, respectively, included as Exhibits 1 through 11 to this Schedule 13D, which are incorporated into this Item 3 in their entirety.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
  (a)-(j) The information set forth, or incorporated by reference, in Item 3 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
     Subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (including but not limited to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Issuer’s stockholders, approval of the issuance of the Reporting Person’s common stock in the First Merger by the Reporting Person’s shareholders, clearance under applicable antitrust laws, execution of certain ancillary agreements, and the absence of a material adverse effect on either the Reporting Person or the Issuer), upon the consummation of the First Merger, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer, and each stockholder of the Issuer prior to such merger will receive a combination of cash and shares of the Reporting Person’s common stock as set forth in Item 3, above. In addition, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the First Merger, any stock options to purchase shares of the Issuer will convert into and become options to purchase common stock of the Reporting Person, and the Reporting Person will assume such options in accordance with the terms of the stock option plan or agreement under which such options were issued, subject to an option exchange ratio calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement. In addition, concurrently with and as

 


Table of Contents

CUSIP No. 82966T106
conditions to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person and the Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreements.
     If the First Merger is consummated, the Issuer will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person, and the Reporting Person will subsequently determine the size and membership of the board of directors of the Issuer and the officers of the Issuer. Upon the consummation of the First Merger, the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer will be amended and restated to conform to Exhibit B of the Merger Agreement and the bylaws of the Issuer will be amended and restated in their entirety to conform to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Merger.
     The Merger Agreement prohibits the Issuer from issuing securities, disposing of securities or changing its capitalization, except under limited circumstances set forth therein. The Merger Agreement further prohibits the Issuer from declaring, accruing, setting aside or paying any dividend or making any other distribution in respect of any shares of capital stock, or repurchasing, redeeming or otherwise reacquiring any shares of capital stock or other securities, except in certain limited circumstances. Finally, the Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit the ability of the Issuer to engage in transactions that would entail a change of control of the Issuer during the pendency of the Merger Agreement.
     Upon the consummation of the First Merger, the Issuer’s Common Stock will (i) cease to be authorized for listing on any quotation system or exchange, and (ii) become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act.
     Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to this Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
     References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements as set forth above in this Item 4 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the Merger Agreement and Voting Agreements, copies of which are included as Exhibits 1 through 11 to this Schedule 13D, and are incorporated into this Item 4 in their entirety.

(a)–(b) The number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock covered by the Voting Agreements is 12,380,183 (including 724,687 shares subject to options), which constitutes approximately 23.3% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock, based on the number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of August 10, 2007, as represented by the Issuer in the Merger Agreement, and the number of shares subject to options beneficially owned for purposes of this Schedule 13D. By virtue of the Voting Agreements, the Reporting Person may be deemed to share with the Stockholders the power to vote shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock with respect to certain matters as identified in and subject to the Voting Agreements. The Reporting Person does not have: (i) sole power to vote or direct the vote; (ii) sole power to dispose or direct
the disposition; or (iii) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, of any shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Further, the Reporting Person (i) is not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Issuer as to the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock covered by the Voting Agreements and (ii) disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock that are covered by the Voting Agreements. The information in Items 2 and 3 with respect to the Stockholders and the information in Item 3 with respect to the Voting Agreements is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Except as set forth on Schedule B hereto, to the best of the Reporting Person’s knowledge as of the date hereof (i) neither the Reporting Person, nor any subsidiary of the Reporting Person nor any of the Reporting Person’s executive officers or directors, beneficially owns any shares of the Issuer’s Common

     7.9 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Voting Agreement or the Proxy were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached.

     7.10 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of Parent under this Voting Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which it may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative).
     7.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Voting Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

     7.12 Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile. This Voting Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Voting Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Voting Agreement.
     7.13 Captions. The captions contained in this Voting Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Voting Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Voting Agreement.
     7.14 Waiver. No failure on the part of Parent to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Voting Agreement, and no delay on the part of Parent in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Voting Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Parent shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to Parent arising out of this Voting Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of Parent

8.


 

under this Voting Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Parent; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
     7.15 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Voting Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other Contract between Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Stockholder against the Company or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Stockholder. Nothing in this Voting Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent under the Merger Agreement, or any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under any agreement between Stockholder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Stockholder in favor of Parent; and nothing in the Merger Agreement or in any other such agreement, certificate or instrument, shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under this Voting Agreement.
     7.16 Construction.
          (a) For purposes of this Voting Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders.
          (b) The parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Voting Agreement.
          (c) As used in this Voting Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
          (d) Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Voting Agreement to “Sections” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Sections of this Voting Agreement and Exhibits to this Voting Agreement.

Irrevocable Proxy
     The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints and constitutes Bob Bruggeworth, Jerry Neal and RF Micro Devices, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Parent”), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies of the Stockholder, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to (i) the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the final page of this proxy, and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company which the Stockholder may acquire on or after the date hereof.. (The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
     This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Contemplated Transactions.
Proxy

 


 

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Contemplated Transactions.

If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

8.

     7.15 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Voting Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other Contract between Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Stockholder against the Company or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Stockholder. Nothing in this Voting Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent under the Merger Agreement, or any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under any agreement between Stockholder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Stockholder in favor of Parent; and nothing in the Merger Agreement or in any other such agreement, certificate or instrument, shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under this Voting Agreement.

(The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
     This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Contemplated Transactions.
Proxy

 


 

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

8.

Irrevocable Proxy
     The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints and constitutes Bob Bruggeworth, Jerry Neal and RF Micro Devices, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Parent”), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies of the Stockholder, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to (i) the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the final page of this proxy, and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company which the Stockholder may acquire on or after the date hereof.. (The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
     This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

     The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints and constitutes Bob Bruggeworth, Jerry Neal and RF Micro Devices, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Parent”), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies of the Stockholder, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to (i) the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the final page of this proxy, and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company which the Stockholder may acquire on or after the date hereof.. (The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
     This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Contemplated Transactions.

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

Proxy

 


 

Irrevocable Proxy
     The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints and constitutes Bob Bruggeworth, Jerry Neal and RF Micro Devices, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Parent”), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies of the Stockholder, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to (i) the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the final page of this proxy, and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company which the Stockholder may acquire on or after the date hereof.. (The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
     This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Contemplated Transactions.
Proxy

 


 

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Voting Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
     7.6 Entire Agreement. This Voting Agreement, the Proxy, the Merger Agreement and any other documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect thereto.

Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth in Section 2, Section 3 or elsewhere in this Voting Agreement, this Voting Agreement shall be binding upon any Person to whom any Subject Securities are transferred. Nothing in this Voting Agreement is intended to confer on any Person (other than Parent and its successors and assigns) any rights or remedies of any nature.

7.


 

     7.9 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Voting Agreement or the Proxy were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Stockholder agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Stockholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Voting Agreement or in the Proxy, Parent shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages) to seek and obtain: (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Stockholder further agrees that neither Parent nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 6.9, and Stockholder irrevocably waives any right he or it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
     7.10 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of Parent under this Voting Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which it may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative).
     7.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

     7.12 Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile. This Voting Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Voting Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Voting Agreement.
     7.13 Captions. The captions contained in this Voting Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Voting Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Voting Agreement.
     7.14 Waiver. No failure on the part of Parent to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Voting Agreement, and no delay on the part of Parent in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Voting Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Parent shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to Parent arising out of this Voting Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of Parent

8.


 

under this Voting Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Parent; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
     7.15 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Voting Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other Contract between Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Stockholder against the Company or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Stockholder. Nothing in this Voting Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent under the Merger Agreement, or any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under any agreement between Stockholder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Stockholder in favor of Parent; and nothing in the Merger Agreement or in any other such agreement, certificate or instrument, shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under this Voting Agreement.
     7.16 Construction.
          (a) For purposes of this Voting Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders.
          (b) The parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Voting Agreement.
          (c) As used in this Voting Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

Irrevocable Proxy
     The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints and constitutes Bob Bruggeworth, Jerry Neal and RF Micro Devices, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Parent”), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies of the Stockholder, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to (i) the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the final page of this proxy, and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company which the Stockholder may acquire on or after the date hereof.. (The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
     This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Contemplated Transactions.
Proxy

 


 

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
     7.6 Entire Agreement. This Voting Agreement, the Proxy, the Merger Agreement and any other documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect thereto.

     7.8 Assignment; Binding Effect; No Third Party Rights. Except as provided herein, neither this Voting Agreement nor any of the interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Stockholder, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any of such interests or obligations shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Voting Agreement shall be binding upon Stockholder and Stockholder’s heirs, estate, executors and personal representatives and Stockholder’s successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Parent and its successors and assigns. Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth in Section 2, Section 3 or elsewhere in this Voting Agreement, this Voting Agreement shall be binding upon any Person to whom any Subject Securities are transferred.

7.


 

     7.9 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Voting Agreement or the Proxy were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Stockholder agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Stockholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Voting Agreement or in the Proxy, Parent shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages) to seek and obtain: (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Stockholder further agrees that neither Parent nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 6.9, and Stockholder irrevocably waives any right he or it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
     7.10 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of Parent under this Voting Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which it may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative).
     7.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Voting Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

     7.12 Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile. This Voting Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Voting Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Voting Agreement.
     7.13 Captions. The captions contained in this Voting Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Voting Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Voting Agreement.
     7.14 Waiver. No failure on the part of Parent to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Voting Agreement, and no delay on the part of Parent in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Voting Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Parent shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to Parent arising out of this Voting Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of Parent

8.


 

under this Voting Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Parent; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
     7.15 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Voting Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other Contract between Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Stockholder against the Company or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Stockholder. Nothing in this Voting Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent under the Merger Agreement, or any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under any agreement between Stockholder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Stockholder in favor of Parent; and nothing in the Merger Agreement or in any other such agreement, certificate or instrument, shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under this Voting Agreement.

          (b) The parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Voting Agreement.
          (c) As used in this Voting Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
     This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Contemplated Transactions.

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

Irrevocable Proxy
     The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints and constitutes Bob Bruggeworth, Jerry Neal and RF Micro Devices, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Parent”), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies of the Stockholder, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to (i) the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the final page of this proxy, and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company which the Stockholder may acquire on or after the date hereof.. (The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
     This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Contemplated Transactions.
Proxy

 


 

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

Stockholder agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Stockholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Voting Agreement or in the Proxy, Parent shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages) to seek and obtain: (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Stockholder further agrees that neither Parent nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 6.9, and Stockholder irrevocably waives any right he or it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

     7.12 Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile. This Voting Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Voting Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Voting Agreement.

     7.15 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Voting Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other Contract between Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other.

Exhibit A
Form of Irrevocable Proxy
Proxy

 


 

Irrevocable Proxy
     The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Sirenza Microdevices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints and constitutes Bob Bruggeworth, Jerry Neal and RF Micro Devices, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Parent”), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies of the Stockholder, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to (i) the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the final page of this proxy, and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company which the Stockholder may acquire on or after the date hereof.. (The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
     This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Iceman Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
     Prior to the Expiration Date, the attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote any Shares owned by the undersigned, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in connection with any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company:
     (a) in favor of: (i) the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
     (b) against the following actions (other than the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Contemplated Transactions.
Proxy

 


 

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
