 THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is made effective as of the date indicated in the grant summary in the Freescale equity recordkeeping system (the “Date of Grant”), by
and among Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted limited liability company (the “Company”), the recipient’s employing subsidiary and the recipient of the grant (the “Participant”):

 R E C I T A L S: 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Freescale Semiconductor Holdings 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which
Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan; and 

WHEREAS, the Administrator has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the
Restricted Share Units provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein. 
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of
Restricted Share Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, units evidencing a right to receive Common Shares as indicated in the grant summary in the Freescale equity recordkeeping
system (each a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Restricted Share Units” or “Restricted Share Unit Award”).

 2. Restrictions and Vesting Period. 
 (a) Restrictions and Transferability. The Restricted Share Unit Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant otherwise
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the
designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of the Restricted Share Unit Award to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be effective
to bind the Company unless the Administrator shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Administrator may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or
transferees of the terms and conditions hereof. 
 (b) Vesting Period. Subject to the Participant’s continued
employment with the Company, or except as otherwise provided below, the Restricted Share Unit Award shall vest with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares initially covered by the Restricted Share








 
Unit Award on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant. At any time, the portion of the Restricted Share Unit Award which has become vested as described
above (or pursuant to Section 3 below) is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Portion.” 
 (c)
Settlement of Restricted Share Units. Shares shall be delivered (provided, that such delivery is otherwise in accordance with federal and state securities laws) with respect to the Vested Portion of the Restricted Share Unit Award as soon as
practicable following the applicable vesting date, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year of vesting. 
 (d) No Shareholder Rights. The Participant shall have no rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Share Units, including, but not limited to, the rights to vote and
receive ordinary dividends, until the settlement date of the Restricted Share Units. In the event that the Administrator approves an adjustment to the Restricted Share Unit Award pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan, then in such event, any and
all new, substituted or additional securities to which Participant is entitled by reason of the Restricted Share Unit Award shall be immediately subject to the restrictions and the Vesting Period set forth in Sections 2(a) and (b) above with
the same force and effect as the Restricted Share Unit Award subject to such restrictions immediately before such event. 
 3.
Termination of Employment. 
 (a) General. If the Participant’s employment is terminated for any reason, the
Restricted Share Unit Award shall, to the extent not then vested (after giving effect to the provisions of this Section 3), terminate and be forfeited upon such termination of employment. 

(b) For Cause. The Restricted Share Unit Award (including any Vested Portion thereof) shall terminate and be forfeited upon the
Company’s notification to the Participant of the Participant’s termination of employment by the Company for Cause. 

(c) Death or Disability. Upon the Participant’s termination of employment due to death or due to Disability, the Restricted
Share Unit Award shall become vested for an additional number of Shares equal to the number of Shares subject to the Restricted Share Unit Award (if any) that would have vested on the next anniversary of the Date of Grant if the Participant had
remained employed until such date. Any portion of the Restricted Share Unit Award that is not vested after giving effect to the above provisions of this Section 3(c) shall terminate immediately and be forfeited effective as of the termination
of the Participant’s employment. 
 (d) Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the
Participant breaches any Restrictive Covenants applicable to the Participant (including, without limitation, the Restrictive Covenants set forth in Exhibit A hereto) at any time during the one year period following the Participant’s termination
of employment for any reason then (x) any Vested Portion then held by the Participant shall be automatically forfeited, (y) any Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Share Unit Award shall be automatically forfeited and (z) any
proceeds from the sale of Shares described in preceding clause (y), shall be immediately repaid to the Company.

 4. Certain Covenants. The Participant hereby agrees to perform all of the
obligations set forth in Exhibit A hereto (which is incorporated by reference hereby) and acknowledges that the Participant’s obligations set forth in Exhibit A constitute a material inducement for the Company’s grant of the Restricted
Share Unit Award to the Participant. 
 5. No Right to Continued Employment. The granting of the Restricted Share Unit
Award evidenced hereby and this Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the employment of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or its Affiliate’s right to terminate the
employment of such Participant. The granting of the Restricted Share Unit Award does not form part of and should in no way be construed as a term or condition of employment. At all times, the Restricted Share Unit Award granted hereunder is
discretionary and does not imply that additional Restricted Share Unit Awards will be awarded in the future. 
 6. Restricted
Share Unit Award Not Wages. The value of any Restricted Share Unit Award granted to Participant does not constitute and will not be included as wages for the purposes of calculating any benefit or bonus provided by the Company or the
Participant’s employing subsidiary. 
 7. Withholding. The Participant will be required to pay to the Company or any
Affiliate and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any payment due or transfer made under the Restricted Share Unit Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the
amount (in cash, Shares, other securities or other property) of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Restricted Share Unit Award or any payment or transfer under or with respect to the Restricted Share Unit Award or the Plan and to
take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Administrator to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. 
 8. Securities Laws. The issuance of any Shares hereunder shall be subject to the Participant making or entering into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Administrator may
reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws. Further, residents of Brazil, the European Economic Area, Hong Kong, Romania and the United Kingdom are directed to review the legends included on Exhibit B to this Agreement.

 9. No Public Offering. The Restricted Share Units awarded under the Plan and this Agreement will not be publicly
issued, placed, distributed or offered. The issuance of any Restricted Share Units hereunder does not constitute a public offering of securities. 
 10. Consent to Transfer of Data. By accepting the Restricted Share Unit Award, Participant consents to the transfer of personal data (including but not limited to the employee’s name,
address, birth date and hire date) and to the processing of this personal data by the Company and the provider of the Freescale equity recordkeeping system. 
 11. Notices. Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company and to the Participant at the
address appearing in the personnel records of the Company for the Participant or to either party at such other address as either party hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt

 Exhibit A – Restrictive Covenants 

(a) Confidential Information. The Participant shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company and its Affiliates
(collectively, the “Affiliated Group”), all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Affiliated Group and its businesses (including, without limitation, any proprietary and not publicly available
information concerning any processes, methods, trade secrets, research or secret data, costs, names of users or purchasers of their respective products or services, business methods, operating procedures or programs or methods of promotion and sale)
that the Participant obtains during the Participant’s employment that is not public knowledge (other than as a result of the Participant’s violation of this Section (a)) (“Confidential Information”). The Participant shall
not communicate, divulge or disseminate Confidential Information at any time during or after the Participant’s employment, except with the prior written consent of the Company, or as otherwise required by law or legal process or as such
disclosure or use may be required in the course of the Participant performing his duties and responsibilities with the Affiliated Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if the Participant is required to disclose any such confidential or
proprietary information pursuant to applicable law or a subpoena or court order, the Participant shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any such requirement so that the Company or the appropriate member of the Affiliated Group may seek an
appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions hereof. The Participant shall reasonably cooperate with the Company or the appropriate member of the Affiliated Group to obtain such a protective order
or other remedy. If such order or other remedy is not obtained prior to the time the Participant is required to make the disclosure, or the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Participant shall disclose only that portion of the
confidential or proprietary information which he is advised by counsel in writing (either his or the Company’s) that he is legally required to so disclose. Upon his termination of employment for any reason, the Participant shall promptly return
to the Company all records, files, memoranda, correspondence, notebooks, notes, reports, customer lists, drawings, plans, documents, and other documents and the like relating to the business of the Affiliated Group or containing any trade secrets
relating to the Affiliated Group or that the Participant uses, prepares or comes into contact with during the course of the Participant’s employment with the Affiliated Group, and all keys, credit cards and passes, and such materials shall
remain the sole property of the Affiliated Group. The Participant agrees to execute any standard-form confidentiality agreements with the Company that the Company in the future generally enters into with similarly situated employees. 

(b) Work Product and Inventions. The Affiliated Group and/or its nominees or assigns shall own all right, title and interest in and
to any and all inventions, ideas, trade secrets, technology, devices, discoveries, improvements, processes, developments, designs, know how, show-how, data, computer programs, algorithms, formulae, works of authorship, works modifications,
trademarks, trade names, documentation, techniques, designs, methods, trade secrets, technical specifications, technical data, concepts, expressions, patents, patent rights, copyrights, moral rights, and all other intellectual property rights or
other developments whatsoever (collectively, “Developments”), whether or not patentable, reduced to practice or registerable under patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property law anywhere in the world, made,
authored, discovered, reduced to practice, conceived, created, developed or otherwise obtained by the Participant (alone or jointly with others) during the Participant’s employment with the Affiliated Group, and arising from or relating to such
employment or the business of the Affiliated Group (whether during business hours or otherwise, and whether on the premises of using the facilities or 

  
 5 








 
materials of the Affiliated Group or otherwise). The Participant shall promptly and fully disclose to the Affiliated Group and to no one else all Developments, and hereby assigns to the
Affiliated Group without further compensation all right, title and interest the Participant has or may have in any Developments, and all patents, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto, and agrees that the Participant has
not acquired and shall not acquire any rights during the course of his employment with the Affiliated Group or thereafter with respect to any Developments. 
 (c) Company Goodwill. The Participant recognizes and acknowledges that the Affiliated Group has and continues to develop goodwill of substantial value through efforts of employees, including the
Participant. This goodwill includes, but is not limited to, the identity and skill sets of its employees, its relationships with employees and customers, intangible value attributable to its products created by Participant and others, and the
Affiliated Group’s brand and reputation within the industry. Participant shall take no action to damage the goodwill of the Affiliated Group or use it for personal benefit or the benefit of competitors of the Affiliated Group. 

(d) Non-Recruitment of Affiliated Group Employees. The Participant acknowledges that employees are a significant part of the
goodwill of the Affiliated Group, such as, without limitation, their relationships and contacts with customers and suppliers as well as the training and knowledge they receive from the Affiliated Group in the course of their employment. The
Participant shall not, at any time during the Non-solicitation Restricted Period (as defined below), other than in the ordinary exercise of his duties, without the prior written consent of the Affiliated Group, directly or indirectly, solicit,
recruit, or employ (whether as an employee, officer, agent, consultant or independent contractor) any person who is or was at any time during the previous 12 months, an employee, representative, officer or director of any member of the Affiliated
Group. Further, during the Non-solicitation Restricted Period, the Participant shall not take any action that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of directly encouraging or inducing any person to cease their relationship with any member
of the Affiliated Group for any reason. A general employment advertisement by an entity of which the Participant is a part will not constitute solicitation or recruitment. The “Non-solicitation Restricted Period” shall mean the
period from the Date of Grant through the first anniversary of the Participant’s termination of employment. 
 (e)
Non-Competition – Solicitation of Business. Participant recognizes and agrees that the Affiliated Group has provided Confidential Information to Participant and has an interest in protecting this information from disclosure. Participant
further understands that the goodwill of the Affiliated Group is an interest worthy of protection. For the protection of these and other interests, during the Non-competition Restricted Period (as defined below), the Participant shall not, either
directly or indirectly, compete with the business of the Affiliated Group by (i) becoming an officer, agent, employee, partner or director of any other corporation, partnership or other entity, or otherwise render services to or assist or hold
an interest (except as a less than 3-percent shareholder of a publicly traded corporation or as a less than 5-percent shareholder of a corporation that is not publicly traded) in any Competitive Business (as defined below), or (ii) soliciting,
servicing, or accepting the business of (A) any active customer of any member of the Affiliated Group, or (B) any person or entity who is or was at any time during the previous twelve months a customer of any member of the Affiliated
Group, provided that such business is competitive with any significant business of any member of the Affiliated Group. “Competitive Business” shall mean any person or entity (including any joint venture, partnership, firm,
corporation, or limited liability company) that conducts a business that is competitive with any significant business of the Affiliated Group as of the date of termination (or any significant business that is being actively pursued as of the date of
termination by the Affiliated Group). The Affiliated Group designs, manufactures, sells 

  
 6 








 
and licenses its products and technology worldwide. In addition, Competitive Businesses, as defined above, are not tied or limited to any specific geographic location. Accordingly, the scope of
this Non-Competition provision is worldwide. The “Non-competition Restricted Period” shall mean the period from the Date of Grant through the first anniversary of the date of termination of the Participant’s employment.

 (f) Assistance. The Participant agrees that during and after his employment by the Affiliated Group, upon request by
the Company, the Participant will assist the Affiliated Group in the defense of any claims, or potential claims that may be made or threatened to be made against any member of the Affiliated Group in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise (a “Proceeding”), and will assist the Affiliated Group in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by any member of the Affiliated Group in any Proceeding, to the extent
that such claims may relate to the Participant’s employment or the period of the Participant’s employment by the Affiliated Group. The Participant agrees, unless precluded by law, to promptly inform the Company if the Participant is asked
to participate (or otherwise become involved) in any Proceeding involving such claims or potential claims. The Participant also agrees, unless precluded by law, to promptly inform the Company if the Participant is asked to assist in any
investigation (whether governmental or otherwise) of any member of the Affiliated Group (or their actions), regardless of whether a lawsuit has then been filed against any member of the Affiliated Group with respect to such investigation. The
Company agrees to reimburse the Participant for all of the Participant’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance, including travel expenses and any attorneys’ fees and shall pay a reasonable per diem fee for the
Participant’s service. In addition, the Participant agrees to provide such services as are reasonably requested by the Company to assist any successor to the Participant in the transition of duties and responsibilities to such successor. Any
services or assistance contemplated in this Section (f) shall be at mutually agreed to and convenient times. 
 (g)
Remedies. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Exhibit A: (i) are reasonable in geographic and temporal scope, (ii) are necessary to protect legitimate proprietary and business interests of the Affiliated
Group in, inter alia, near permanent customer relationships and confidential information. The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s breach of the provisions of this Exhibit A will cause the Affiliated Group
irreparable harm, which cannot be adequately compensated by money damages. The Participant consents and agrees that the forfeiture provisions contained in the Agreement are reasonable remedies in the event the Participant commits any such breach. If
any of the provisions of this Exhibit A are determined to be wholly or partially unenforceable, the Participant hereby agrees that Exhibit A or any provision hereof may be reformed so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If
any of the provisions of this Exhibit A are determined to be wholly or partially unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such determination shall not be a bar to or in any way diminish the Affiliated Group’s right to enforce any such covenant in any
other jurisdiction.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression of an offer of Shares to the public in relation to any Shares in any Relevant Member
State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Shares, as the same may be varied in that
member state by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that member state and the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in
the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the expression 2010 PD Amending Directive means Directive 2010/73/EU.
