EXECUTION COPY

 

AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT AGREEMENT dated as of December 23, 2004 (this
“Agreement”), among ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION (formerly known as SCG Holding
Corporation) (“Holdings”), SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLC (the
“Borrower”), the LENDERS party hereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. (formerly
known as JPMorgan Chase Bank), as administrative agent (the “Administrative
Agent”), under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 4,
1999, as amended and restated as of April 22, 2004 (as in effect on the date
hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among Holdings, the Borrower, the
lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent.

 

WHEREAS Holdings and the Borrower have requested, and the Restatement Lenders
and the Administrative Agent have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein, that (a) the Renewing Tranche F Lenders referred to
below and the Additional Tranche G Lenders referred to below extend credit in
the form of Tranche G Term Loans on the Restatement Effective Date in an
aggregate principal amount equal to $645,500,000 and (b) the Existing Credit
Agreement be amended and restated as provided herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Holdings, the Borrower, the Restatement Lenders and the
Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Restated Credit Agreement
referred to below. As used in this Agreement, “Restatement Lenders” means, at
any time, (a) the Renewing Tranche F Lenders referred to below, (b) the
Additional Tranche G Lenders referred to below and (c) for purposes of the
conditions to the transactions described in Section 4 of this Agreement, the
Required Lenders under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 2. Restatement Effective Date. (a) The transactions provided for in
Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall be consummated at a closing to be held on the
Restatement Effective Date at the offices of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, or at
such other time and place as the parties hereto shall agree upon.

 

(b) The “Restatement Effective Date” shall be specified by the Borrower, and
shall be a date, not later than December 23, 2004, as of which all the
conditions set forth or referred to in Section 5 hereof shall have been
satisfied. The Borrower, by giving not less than one Business Day’s written
notice, (i) shall propose a date as the Restatement Effective Date to the
Administrative Agent and (ii) may change a previously proposed date for the
Restatement Effective Date, provided that the Borrower agrees that the
provisions of Section 2.16 of the Restated Credit Agreement shall apply in the
event of any such change. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Restatement
Lenders of the proposed date. This Agreement shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 23, 2004, if the Restatement Effective Date shall not have occurred at
or prior to such time.

 

SECTION 3. Tranche G Term Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, each Person identified on Schedule I hereto as a Tranche G Lender
(a “Tranche G Lender”) agrees to make Tranche G Term Loans to the Borrower on
the Restatement Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding
its Tranche G Commitment. A Tranche G Lender’s “Tranche G Commitment” means its
commitment to make Tranche G Term Loans hereunder, expressed as an amount
representing the maximum aggregate principal amount of Tranche G Term Loans to
be made by such Tranche G Lender, as set forth in Schedule I hereto. The Tranche
G Commitments are several and no Tranche G Lender will be responsible for any
other Tranche G Lender’s failure to make Tranche G Term Loans. The Tranche G
Term Loans shall be made in the manner contemplated by paragraphs (c) and (d) of
this Section.

 

(b) Each Person that holds an existing Tranche F Term Loan under, and as defined
in, the Existing Credit Agreement (a “Tranche F Term Loan”, and each such Person
holding a Tranche F Term Loan being an “Existing Tranche F Lender”) that
executes this Agreement specifically in the capacity of a “Renewing Tranche F
Lender” on a signature page hereto (a “Renewing Tranche F Lender”) will be
deemed on the Restatement Effective Date to have agreed to the terms of this
Agreement and to have a Tranche G Commitment in its capacity as a Renewing
Tranche F Lender equal to the lesser of its Tranche G Commitment set forth on
Schedule I hereto and the outstanding principal amount of its Tranche F Term
Loans immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date (its “Existing Term
Loans”). Each Existing Tranche F Lender that executes this Agreement
specifically in the capacity of a Consenting Lender on a signature page hereto
which does not have a Tranche G Commitment set forth on Schedule I hereto shall
be deemed on the Restatement Effective Date to have consented to this Agreement
but shall not have any commitment to make Tranche G Term Loans. Each Tranche G
Lender (other than a Renewing Tranche F Lender in its capacity as such) is
referred to herein as an “Additional Tranche G Lender”, it being understood
that, if a Tranche G Lender is both a Renewing Tranche F Lender and an
Additional Tranche G Lender, then (i) its Tranche G Commitment in its capacity
as a Renewing Tranche F Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of
its Existing Term Loans and (ii) its Tranche G Commitment in its capacity as an
Additional Tranche G Lender shall equal the excess of its total Tranche G
Commitment over the outstanding principal amount of its Existing Term Loans.

 

(c) The Tranche G Term Loans to be made by each Renewing Tranche F Lender on the
Restatement Effective Date shall be made by converting Indebtedness represented
by the outstanding principal amount of its Existing Term Loans (not exceeding
its Tranche G Commitment) to, and exchanging such Indebtedness for, Tranche G
Term Loans in an equal principal amount (on a net basis without requiring any
transfer of funds), and such Indebtedness shall remain outstanding under the
Restated Credit Agreement as Tranche G Term Loans. The Tranche G Term Loans to
be made by each Additional Tranche G Lender on the Restatement Effective Date
shall be made by transferring funds to the Administrative Agent, in the manner
contemplated by

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2.06 of the Restated Credit Agreement, in an amount equal to such
Additional Tranche G Lender’s Tranche G Commitment (in its capacity as an
Additional Tranche G Lender).

 

(d) Tranche G Term Loans shall be made on the Restatement Effective Date as ABR
Borrowings or, if the Borrower shall have delivered an irrevocable written
request to such effect to the Administrative Agent at least 2 Business Days
prior to the Restatement Effective Date, Eurodollar Borrowings (with respect to
any such request for Eurodollar Borrowings, it is understood and agreed that in
the event the Tranche G Term Loans are not borrowed on the Restatement Effective
Date, the Borrower shall compensate each Tranche G Lender for any loss, cost or
expense incurred by such Tranche G Lender in respect of such event to the same
extent as if such Tranche G Lender were entitled to compensation therefor
pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Existing Credit Agreement). The provisions of
Sections 2.02 and 2.06 of the Restated Credit Agreement shall apply for all
purposes of making the Tranche G Term Loans, except as otherwise provided
herein.

 

(e) The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative
Agent on the Restatement Effective Date (i) to apply the proceeds of the Tranche
G Term Loans to prepay, pursuant to Section 2.11(a) of the Existing Credit
Agreement, the Tranche F Term Loans outstanding as of such date (other than
those converted to and exchanged for Tranche G Term Loans as provided above) and
(ii) to transfer to Computershare Trust Company of New York (or to any successor
depositary in respect of the Tenders designated in accordance with the offering
document in respect of the Tenders dated December 1, 2004) proceeds of the
Tranche G Term Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
First Lien Notes (up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $130,000,000)
and Second Lien Notes (up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of
$195,000,000) to be purchased on the “Initial Optional Early Settlement Date”
(as such term is defined in the offering document for the Tenders dated December
1, 2004) pursuant to the Tenders (as notified by the Borrower) in accordance
with Section 5.11 of the Restated Credit Agreement (it being understood and
agreed that the Borrower shall not take physical possession of the proceeds of
the Tranche G Term Loans, except for any proceeds remaining following the
application and transfer of proceeds in accordance with this sentence). On the
Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay, without applying the
proceeds of the Tranche G Term Loans, the accrued and unpaid interest on the
Tranche F Term Loans (including those converted to and exchanged for Tranche G
Term Loans as provided above) and any other amounts (including amounts under
Section 2.16 of the Existing Credit Agreement) owing in respect of the Tranche F
Term Loans. The conversion and exchange of all or any portion of a Tranche F
Term Loan for a Tranche G Term Loan shall be treated as a repayment thereof for
purposes of Section 2.16 of the Existing Credit Agreement.

 

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an
Additional Tranche G Lender prior to the Restatement Effective Date that such
Additional Tranche G Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Additional Tranche G Lender’s share of such Tranche G Term Loan Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Additional Tranche G Lender has
made such

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

share available on such date in accordance with this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if any Additional Tranche G Lender has in fact defaulted
in making its share of such Tranche G Term Loan Borrowing, then the applicable
Additional Tranche G Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such defaulted amount (to the extent so
advanced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such defaulting Additional
Tranche G Lender), together with interest on such amount at the interest rate
applicable to ABR Loans from the Restatement Effective Date to the date of
payment. Upon any such payment by the Borrower, the Borrower shall have the
right, at the defaulting Additional Tranche G Lender’s expense, upon notice to
the defaulting Additional Tranche G Lender and to the Administrative Agent, to
require such defaulting Additional Tranche G Lender to transfer and assign
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in Section 9.04 of the Restated Credit Agreement) all its interests, rights and
obligations as an Additional Tranche G Lender under the Restated Credit
Agreement to another financial institution which shall assume such interests,
rights and obligations, provided that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with
any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the
assignee shall pay, in immediately available funds on the date of such
assignment, (A) to the Administrative Agent, (1) the outstanding principal of,
and interest accrued to the date of payment on, the defaulted amount of the
Tranche G Term Loans advanced by the Administrative Agent on the defaulting
Additional Tranche G Lender’s behalf under the Restated Credit Agreement that
was not paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the
preceding sentence and (2) all other amounts accrued for the Administrative
Agent’s account or owed to it under the Restated Credit Agreement in respect of
such defaulted amount of Tranche G Term Loans and (B) to the Borrower, the
outstanding principal of, and interest accrued to the date of payment on, the
defaulted amount of the Tranche G Term Loans that the Borrower paid to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

SECTION 4. Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement; Loans and
Letters of Credit; Amendment of Security Documents.

 

(a) Effective on the Restatement Effective Date, immediately upon the
consummation of the transactions set forth in Section 3 above, the Existing
Credit Agreement (excluding the annexes, schedules and exhibits thereto that are
not attached as part of Exhibit A hereto) is hereby amended and restated to read
in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Restated Credit
Agreement”). From and after the effectiveness of such amendment and restatement,
the terms “Agreement”, “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereto”,
“hereof” and words of similar import, as used in the Restated Credit Agreement,
shall, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to the Restated Credit
Agreement, and the term “Credit Agreement”, as used in the other Loan Documents,
shall mean the Restated Credit Agreement.

 

(b) All Revolving Commitments in effect under the Existing Credit Agreement on
the Restatement Effective Date shall continue in effect under the Restated
Credit Agreement, and all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit
outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Restatement Effective
Date shall

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

continue to be outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement, and on and after
the Restatement Effective Date, the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement will
govern the rights and obligations of Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders, the
applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent with respect thereto.

 

(c) Effective on the Restatement Effective Date, (i) each Lender under, and as
defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement that is not a Tranche G Lender or
Revolving Lender as defined herein shall be released from all its obligations
under the Existing Credit Agreement and shall not have any obligations under the
Restated Credit Agreement, and (ii) each Tranche G Lender and Revolving Lender
as defined herein shall be deemed to be a party to the Restated Credit
Agreement, together with Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
and the Restated Credit Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of the
parties hereto with respect to the Tranche G Term Loans and Revolving
Commitments; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to discharge or
release the Borrower from any obligations owed to any Lenders under the Existing
Credit Agreement that cease to be Lenders under the Restated Credit Agreement,
including obligations under Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 9.03 thereof.

Credit Agreement hereby waive any requirement under the Existing Credit
Agreement of notice of prepayment of Tranche F Term Loans under the Existing
Credit Agreement provided for herein.

 

(e) The Restatement Lenders hereby consent to the amendment of the Security
Documents to implement the provisions of the Restated Credit Agreement.

amended nor may any provision hereof be waived except pursuant to a writing
signed by Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Restatement
Lenders. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
