owned by any Scheduled Person.

Agreement. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person or any of its affiliates is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Act or for any other purpose. The Reporting Persons (i) are not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Exar as to the Subject Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Support Agreements, and (ii) have no power to
vote, direct the voting of, dispose of, or direct the disposal of, any shares of Common Stock other than the power provided pursuant to the Support Agreements.

the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons or the Scheduled Persons.

(d) Except as set forth in this Item 5 and for persons referred to in
