EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT A-(Part 1) ELECTION OF DEFERRAL

I acknowledge that the terms and conditions of the California Micro Devices Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Agreement (“Agreement t’) have been explained to me, including the tax consequences of my decision to participate in the Agreement.

I agree to defer a portion of my current compensation, and to have that income paid to me at a later date pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, which is incorporated by reference, in its entirety, in this Election of Deferral Form.

I understand that this Election Form is not an employment agreement, does not guarantee that I will receive any predetermined amount of compensation, and does not guarantee that I will receive any bonus.

Since the 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act repealed the dollar limit on wages subject to hospital insurance, effective for 1994 and later years, I understand that I will be required to pay such tax regardless of the amount of wages earned. Other such taxes will be payable to the extent that I have not exceeded the relevant wage ceilings.

Such Notice of Discontinuance shall be effective commencing with the lst day of the first month, 1st day of the fourth month, 1st day of the seventh month, or Ist day of the tenth month of the Plan Year following filing in writing the change I desire. I also understand that if I discontinue deferral of future compensation during the year, I cannot restart deferral until the beginning of the succeeding calendar year. The foregoing Election is voluntarily made by me after reviewing the terms of the Agreement and with knowledge that this Election is irrevocable until changed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

IN SERVICE DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT:

I hereby elect to receive a lump sum distribution on the In Service Distribution Date specified below in an amount equal to the lesser of the Accrued Benefit, or the In Service Distribution Amount, together with Additions related thereto.

IN SERVICE DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT: (An amount not in excess of the Annual Deferral Sum set forth on Part 1 of this Exhibit A)

IN SERVICE DISTRIBUTION DATE: (At least 36 months after Effective Date)

INSERVICE DISTRBUTION. The lesser of either: (a) the In Service Distribution Amount designated by the Employee on a validly submitted Election of Deferral in the form set forth at Exhibit A, Part 1, and related Additions, or (b) the Accrued Benefit, shall be distributed in a lump sum on the In Service Distribution Date. The In Service Distribution Date shall be the later of either: (a) the In Service Distribution Date set forth at Exhibit A, or (b) a date 36 months alter the Election Date defined by this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company maintains the California Micro Devices Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for certain executive employees under the terms of individual executive deferred compensation agreements between said employees and the Company (the “Agreement” or “Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, the Company is desirous of modifying the form of payment under each of the Agreements to provide greater flexibility to the Employee and to ease the administration of the Plan;

NOW THEREFORE, the Agreement between the Company and the executive employee indicated on the signature line below is amended, effective January 1, 2002, as follows:

The fourth sentence of the third paragraph of text in paragraph 2(a) of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:

“The Employee may elect to defer a maximum Annual Deferral Sum of fifteen percent (15%) of Compensation for any Plan Year, reduced by deferral contributions under the terms of the 401(k) Plan for such Plan Year.”

Paragraph 6(a) of the Agreement is amended by the addition of the following at the end thereof:

“Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6(a), the terms of this paragraph shall be administered with respect to Retirement Benefits commencing on and after January 1, 2002, by substituting equal annual installments for 10 years (or 5 years, if applicable), wherever reference is made to equal monthly installments of 120 months (or 60 months, if applicable).
