3.2 [RESERVED]

3.3 Any applicable Severance Benefit payable under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive in a single lump sum not later than fifteen (15) days following the Executive’s Termination Date unless the Release described in Section 7 has not become effective, in which case the Severance Benefit shall be paid not later than five (5) days after the Release becomes effective, but in any event on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination; provided however, that, if the period for executing and not revoking the Release spans two taxable years, such portion of the Severance Benefit shall be paid in the second taxable year.

3.4 Payment of the Severance Benefit shall be net of applicable withholding taxes.

The Company shall provide the Executive with notice of his right to elect COBRA coverage under the Health Plan; provided, however, the Executive shall receive the Company paid benefit described herein during the Continuation Period irrespective of whether or not the Executive elects COBRA. . The amount paid by the Company for Executive’s coverage during the Continuation Period will be treated as taxable income to the Executive. If the Company is unable to provide this benefit under the Company’s group health plan without incurring penalties or other adverse tax consequences pursuant to the Affordable Care Act or other similar legislation or regulations, the Company shall provide a make-up benefit to Executive equal to the value of the benefit available to the Executive by allowing participation in the Health Plan during the Continuation Period.

Payment of the health plan continuation coverage pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be conditioned upon Executive’s timely execution of the Release described in Section 7 and the Release having become effective by its terms on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination.

3.6 If the Company, at the time of giving Executive notice of termination, specifies or requests a Termination Date later than the notice date, Executive shall not be required to accept a Termination Date that is more than two weeks after the date of notice of termination, and the failure to agree to a later Termination Date shall not be construed as a voluntary termination by Executive. The Termination Date for purposes of this Section 3, consistent with the preceding sentence, shall be the final day of employment of Executive by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.6 shall not apply to the Executive’s termination for Retirement.

5

Executive shall be entitled to terminate employment on the Termination Date with the Company and receive the Severance Benefit, the health care continuation benefit, and the stock rights as specified in Sections 3 and 5 upon one or more of the following conditions, provided that Executive timely executes the Release described in Section 7 and the Release becomes effective by its terms on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination:

6.1 If an event constituting Good Reason occurs, and Executive gives the Company written notice within sixty (60) days following the event of Good Reason, detailing why Executive believes a Good Reason event has occurred, the Company shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice to remedy or cure the event of Good Reason. If the Company does not remedy or cure the event within such period and the event constitutes Good Reason as defined in this Agreement, Executive’s employment shall be deemed terminated for Good Reason at the end of such thirty-day cure period. Executive’s notice shall be delivered to the Company’s Governing Body.

6.2 If the Executive provides prior written notice of Executive’s Retirement as set forth in the definition of Retirement (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Company’s Board of Directors).

6.3 In the absence of an event of Good Reason, Retirement, or termination by Executive for personal reasons, if payment of the benefits hereunder is approved by the Company’s Governing Body upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of such Company’s Governing Body, then such approved payments will be made to Executive on the Termination Date.

7.1 As a prerequisite to the Company’s payment of the benefits and payments described in this Agreement, other than in connection with a termination due to the Executive’s death, Executive shall have executed and delivered to the Company a general release of claims (“Release”) and the Release shall have become effective in accordance with its terms as specified in this Section 7 on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination. The Release shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A. The Company may modify the Release versus the form attached as Exhibit A in order to specify the amount of the Severance Benefit or other benefits, comply with changes in law, or reflect changes in relevant facts (such as the name of the Company). However, the Company shall not include any additional requirements or provisions in the Release, including without limitation any restrictive covenants concerning post-termination activities of Executive without Executive’s prior written consent.

6

7.2 The Company shall deliver the form of Release to Executive on or prior to the date of termination. Executive shall have at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider the Release. Executive shall have up to seven (7) days after execution and delivery of the Release to revoke the Release. The Release shall not become effective until the revocation period has expired without revocation of the Release by Executive.

7.3 The health insurance continuation benefit described in Section 3.5 shall be provided to Executive on a monthly basis after the Termination Date on the assumption that the Release will become effective, provided that entitlement to such benefit shall expire if the Release does not become effective within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date and, in such case, Executive shall be required to promptly return amounts paid on his or her behalf to the Company.

7.4 Executive’s entitlement to receive and to retain the benefits and payments described in this Agreement (other than in connection with a termination due to Executive’s death) shall be conditioned upon Executive’s compliance with the Restrictive Covenants, which Restrictive Covenants are hereby incorporated in their entirety as though fully set forth herein and which Restrictive Covenants shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment.

Executive’s receipt of the Severance Payment and other consideration provided in this Agreement shall be in lieu of any benefits specified under any prior severance agreement between Allegro and Executive, the Severance Policy for Senior Staff Members of the Company dated November 2, 2016, the severance policy for salaried employees adopted by Allegro Microsystems, Inc. on May 24, 2012, any other severance policy maintained by the Company; any benefits pursuant to any other agreement or understanding between Executive and the Company relating to termination of employment; and any benefits under the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan or its successor for the fiscal year in which termination occurs. However, this Agreement shall not divest Executive of Executive’s right to distributions from Allegro’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan or any right to vested benefits under the terms of the Company’s benefit plans, to be paid accrued wages and vacation through the Termination Date or to be reimbursed for properly substantiated business expenses in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns, including any successor entity by merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company shall require and cause any person, group or entity that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to accept a written assignment of this Agreement by the Company, and to acknowledge in such document that the acquiror accepts the assignment and undertakes to perform this Agreement in accordance with its

7

terms. Executive shall be entitled to assign his rights under this Agreement by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the case of his death. Any amounts that are due to Executive hereunder at the time of his death shall be paid or provided to his estate subject to and following the execution of a release of claims or other similar documentation reasonably requested by the Company by the Executor of the Estate.

If requested by the Company, Executive will in good faith consider and negotiate an amended or a successor agreement in order to address revised circumstances (for example, restructuring of the Allegro group of companies), providing that there is no diminution in the level of benefits available to Executive hereunder.

11.1 Arbitration. Any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of this Agreement, the interpretation, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the alleged breach thereof shall be settled by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association in Boston, Massachusetts or elsewhere by mutual agreement. The Company shall bear responsibility for all costs of arbitration and shall reimburse Executive for his or her reasonable attorneys’ fees. Judgment may be entered on the arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction.

11.2 Attorney’s Fees.

11.5 Employment at Will. Executive’s employment with the Company shall remain at will. Nothing in the Agreement shall provide Executive with any right to continued employment with the Company for any specific period of time, or interfere with or restrict the right of either Executive or the Company to terminate Executive’s employment at any time.

11.6 Application of Section 409A. The payments contemplated by this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or to comply with the requirements of, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and this Agreement shall be interpreted with that intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax treatment of amounts payable and benefits provided under this Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed, and neither the Company nor any of its members, shareholders, employees, directors, officers, agents or affiliates, shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Executive or any other taxpayer as a result of this Agreement, including by reason of Section 409A or any similar State statute. In the event that payment of one or more of the benefits or payments hereunder would result in the imposition of any such taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Executive or any other taxpayer by reason of Section 409A or any similar State statute, the mechanism of delivery of such benefit or payment shall be modified to the extent permissible under Section 409A to eliminate such imposition (e.g. through the grant of a new fully-vested Stock Award and/or cash payment of equivalent value). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at the time Executive’s employment terminates, Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined below, any and all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of Executive’s separation from service that would (but for this provision) be payable within six (6) months following the date of such separation from service, shall instead be paid on the next business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death; except (A) to the extent of amounts that do not constitute a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(b) (including without limitation by reason of the safe harbor set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), as determined by the Company in its reasonable good faith discretion); (B) benefits which qualify as excepted welfare benefits pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5); or (C) other amounts or benefits that are not subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to payments that are subject to Section 409A and that are payable upon or with reference to Executive’s termination of employment, all references to “termination of employment” and correlative phrases shall be construed to require a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury regulations after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein), from the Company, and the term “specified employee” means an individual determined by the Company to be a specified employee of the Company under Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). Each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. To the extent required by Section 409A, if the period for executing and not revoking the Release spans two taxable years, the Severance Benefit shall be paid in the second taxable year. Any tax gross up payment hereunder shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related taxes are remitted to the appropriate tax authorities, or at such other specified time or schedule that may be permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v). The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during any calendar year ay not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other calendar year. The reimbursement of an eligible expense must made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. The right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

9

11.7 Proprietary Information. Nothing in this Agreement or the Release shall be construed as an elimination or waiver of Executive’s obligations not to disclose confidential or proprietary information to third parties as required by Company policy and any agreements between the Company and Executive that were executed during Executive’s employment with the Company.

11.8 Waiver; Amendment. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement. No waiver or amendment of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written document signed by Executive and an executive of the Company authorized by the Company’s Governing Body.

11.9 Notices. Any notices required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing, and may be transmitted by personal delivery, by courier service or by e-mail if receipt of such e-mail is acknowledged by the receiving party. Notices shall be addressed to the recipient’s principal business office.
