Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Common stock of Microtune, Inc. (the "Company") awarded upon achievement of performance criteria pursuant to the Company's 2008 Incentive Compensation Program. On February 3, 2009, after reviewing the Company's performance during fiscal 2008 and based on the Compensation Committee's recommendation, the Company's Board of Directors determined that 3,689 of 16,000 restricted stock unit awards issued pursuant to the Company's 2008 Incentive Compensation Program vested on February 3, 2009, with the remaining amount being forfeited. See the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 12, 2008 for a description of the 2008 Incentive Compensation Program.
(2) Represents a reduction of shares issued to the reporting person to discharge withholding tax obligations in connection with the vesting of performance based restricted stock units on February 3, 2009.
(3) Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock.
(4) After reviewing the Company's performance during fiscal 2008 and based on the Compensation Committee's recommendation, the Company's Board of Directors determined that 3,689 of 16,000 restricted stock unit awards issued pursuant to the Company's 2008 Incentive Compensation Program vested on February 3, 2009, with the remaining amount being forfeited. Each restricted stock unit converted into one share of the Company's common stock.
(5) As of February 5, 2009, the reporting person holds 32,000 restricted stock units, including 16,000 that were granted under the Amended and Restated Microtune, Inc. 2000 Stock Plan on May 10, 2007 and which vest over time and 16,000 that were granted under the Amended and Restated Microtune, Inc. 2000 Stock Plan on May 12, 2008 and which vest over time.
(6) The reporting person reports that 12,311 unvested restricted stock units were forfeited back to the Company on February 3, 2009. Each restricted stock unit represented a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. After reviewing the Company's performance during fiscal 2008 and based on the Compensation Committee's recommendation, the Company's Board of Directors determined that 12,311 restricted stock unit awards would not vest under the Company's 2008 Incentive Compensation Program, and therefore these restricted stock units were thereby forfeited.
