Holdings I (which may be referred to as the Company, Freescale, we, us or our) means
Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, as the context requires.



|Item 1: | Business
|------- | --------

Our Company

With over 50 years of operating history, Freescale is a leader in the design and manufacture of embedded processors. We are based in Austin, Texas and
have design, research and development, manufacturing or sales operations in more than 28 countries. We generated $5.2 billion in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. During the second half of 2008, we experienced pressure on our
revenues associated with the macroeconomic weakness, particularly in the automotive industry. We expect weaker demand in the automotive industry and in other of our end markets to persist, which will affect our revenue and profitability into 2009.
As a result, we announced plans to sharpen our strategic focus on growth markets and key market leadership positions as well as intentions to explore strategic options for our cellular handset business, including completing a sale, joint venture
agreement or other transformation in the coming months. We incurred a net loss of $7.9 billion during 2008, primarily related to impairment charges of $5.4 billion and $1.6 billion associated with our goodwill and intangible assets, respectively.
These significant impairments were triggered by an updated supply arrangement with Motorola terminating future minimum purchase commitments, the significant decline in the market capitalization of the public companies in our peer group as of
December 31, 2008, our intent to pursue strategic alternatives for our cellular handset product group and the impact from weakening market conditions in our remaining businesses.

In each of the markets we serve, we offer families of embedded processors. In their simplest forms, embedded processors provide the basic intelligence
for electronic devices and can be programmed to address specific applications or functions. Examples of our embedded processors include microcontrollers, digital signal, applications and communications processors.

In addition to our embedded processors, we offer our customers a broad portfolio of complementary devices that provide connectivity between products,
across networks and to real-world signals, such as sound, vibration and pressure. Our complementary products include sensors, radio frequency semiconductors, power management and other analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Through our
embedded processors and complementary products we also offer customers complex combinations of semiconductors and software, which we refer to as platform-level products. We believe that our ability to offer platform-level products will
be increasingly important to our long-term success in many markets within the semiconductor industry as our customers continue to move toward providers of embedded processors and complementary products.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (FSL, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware in 2003 in preparation for the contribution and transfer by Motorola,
Inc. (Motorola) of substantially all of its semiconductor businesses assets and liabilities to FSL, Inc. (the Contribution) and an initial public offering (IPO) of FSL, Inc. Class A common stock. FSL,
Inc. completed the Contribution in the second quarter of 2004 and the IPO on July 21, 2004. Prior to the IPO, FSL, Inc. was a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola. All of the FSL, Inc. Class B shares of common stock were held by Motorola until
Motorola distributed its remaining ownership interest in us by means of a special dividend to its common stockholders (the Distribution) on December 2, 2004 (the Distribution Date).

On December 1, 2006, FSL, Inc. was acquired by a consortium of private equity funds. The consortium includes The Blackstone Group, The Carlyle
Group, funds advised by Permira Advisers, LLC, TPG Capital and others (collectively, the Sponsors). The acquisition was accomplished pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on September 15, 2006 (the
Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, FSL, Inc. became an indirect subsidiary of Holdings I, which in turn is a direct subsidiary of Freescale Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership
(Parent), an entity controlled by the Sponsors. The Company is a Bermuda exempted limited liability company and was organized in 2006. Additional information regarding Freescale can be found on our website at www.freescale.com. The
inclusion of our website address in this Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include or incorporate by reference into this Annual Report any information on our website. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports
on Form 8-K, amendments to those reports and other filings are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our Industry

Cyclicality of
Semiconductor Industry and Current Business Conditions

Historically, the relationship between
supply and demand in the semiconductor industry has caused cyclicality in the market, characterized by technological change, product obsolescence, price erosion, evolving standards and fluctuations in product supply and demand. The industry has
experienced downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles of both semiconductor companies and their customers products and declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been
characterized by diminished product demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. These downturns have had a negative impact on our profitability and cash flows.

Our business is highly dependent on demand for electronic content in automobiles, networking and wireless infrastructure equipment and other electronic
devices. In addition, we operate in an industry that is highly cyclical and subject to constant and rapid technological change, product obsolescence, price erosion, evolving standards, short product life-cycles and wide fluctuations in product
supply and demand.

In 2008, we experienced significant declines in revenues and profitability associated with the macro economic weakness,
particularly in the automotive industry. We expect to continue to experience weaker demand with respect to the automotive industry as well as with other of our end markets which will affect our revenue and profitability into 2009. Given the nature
of the global macroeconomic weakness and its effects on our end markets, we are unable to precisely forecast when and if revenues and profitability will return to previous levels. In addition, the semiconductor industry is consolidating particularly
in the cellular handset

market where the growth rate has slowed, and the challenge to fund research and development and higher levels of integration is becoming increasingly costly.
In light of these challenges, on October 2, 2008, we announced plans to sharpen our strategic focus on growth markets and key market leadership positions and that we were exploring strategic options for our cellular handset business in an
effort to complete a sale, joint venture agreement or other transformation in the near term.

Semiconductor Overview

Semiconductors perform a broad variety of functions within electronic products and systems, such as processing data, storing information and converting or
controlling signals. Advances in semiconductor technology have increased the functionality and performance of semiconductors, improving the features, functionality and power consumption characteristics of the devices enabled while reducing their
size and cost of manufacturing. These advancements have resulted in a proliferation of electronic content across a diverse array of products.

Semiconductors vary significantly depending upon the specific function or application of the end product in which the semiconductor is embedded. Within these classifications, semiconductors vary significantly depending upon a number of
technical characteristics. Examples of these characteristics include:



| |  |  | Degree of Integration. Integration refers to the extent to which different elements are combined onto a single chip. Customers today are increasingly
demanding higher degrees of integration from their semiconductor suppliers, resulting in more products that combine analog, digital, and memory circuitry onto a single chip. These types of semiconductors are often referred to as systems-on-a-chip.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Customization. Customization refers to the extent to which a semiconductor has been customized for a specific customer or application. Standard products
are semiconductors that are not customized and can be used by a large number of customers for numerous applications. In addition, some standard products, such as microcontrollers, can be customized by using software rather than by changing the
device hardware. Changing the device hardware can be a time-intensive and costly process. Customized semiconductors, also referred to as application specific integrated circuits, are made to perform specific functions in specific applications,
sometimes for a specific customer.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Process Technology. Semiconductors are manufactured by using different process technologies, which can be likened to recipes. The process technology
utilized during manufacturing impacts a semiconductors performance for a given application. As semiconductor materials science has evolved, the minimum feature sizes in each new process technology continue to decrease. This reduces the size
and, generally, unit cost of semiconductors made with the new process technology. Leading edge process technology today typically refers to a minimum feature size of 90 nanometers, which is currently in volume production. Volume production is also
occurring at 65 nanometers with ongoing research into feature sizes down to 32 nanometers. Each new reduction in feature size generally takes 18 to 24 months to develop.

Customers, Sales and Marketing

We sell our products
directly to original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers through our direct sales force. Our direct sales force is aligned by customer end markets in an effort to bring dedicated expertise and knowledge
to our customers. We have over 60 sales offices located in 21 countries. We believe that it is important to have a large number of sales offices to closely align ourselves with the development efforts of our customers, as well as to be able to
respond directly to customer requirements.

We also maintain a network of distributors that we believe has the global infrastructure and
logistics capabilities to serve a wide and diversified customer base for our products. Expansion of our distribution sales network represents an opportunity for us to leverage our products and services to a wider array of customers.

The Asia-Pacific region represents approximately 50% of our net sales. We continue to enhance our sales and marketing capabilities and infrastructure in
the Asia-Pacific region by strengthening our direct sales force in the region and expanding the scope of our distribution network.

In
addition, we are placing significant focus on various consumer market opportunities. We have created or are expanding into new product categories focused on the consumer market. These include passive optical networking products for broadband triple
play services to the small office/home office space, the i.MX family of applications processor to manage complex processing requirements for portable consumer multimedia and computing devices, and our power management products to help digital still
cameras, media players and converging multimedia devices maintain long battery life.

We generally target
customers who are leaders in industries in which our products are used as well as companies that we believe will be future leaders in these industries. Historically, Motorola was our largest end customer, comprising approximately 24% and 26% of our
net sales in 2007 and 2006, respectively. As a result of certain strategic initiatives announced in 2008 to exit the cellular handset business, and the cancellation of our purchase and supply agreement with Motorola, our cellular products sales to
Motorola declined significantly in the fourth quarter of 2008. During 2008, Motorola represented 23% of our net sales; this amount declined to 8% in the fourth quarter of 2008. Although Motorola continues to be a customer in our networking and
multimedia business, those

revenues represent less than 10% of our total net sales in 2008. No other end customer represented more than 10% of our sales for the last three years. In
2008, 2007 and 2006, excluding Motorola, the next nine largest end customers comprised approximately 31%, 33% and 32% of our total net sales, respectively.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities focus on both product and technology development. Our
product design engineering activities, which constitute the majority of our research and development expenditures, are primarily aligned with our product design groups and the areas of focus for these investments are described within the relevant
product and application sections. Our technology development programs support our product design efforts, and cover process technology, packaging technology as well as system-on-a-chip design technology. Specialty technologies are also developed to
provide differentiation and competitive advantage, such as embedded memories (particularly non-volatile), Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI), SMARTMOS, radio frequency and mixed-signal technologies. We believe that this approach allows us to apply our
investments in process, packaging and design technologies across a broad portfolio of products. Our research and development spending has been in excess of $1 billion for each of the past three years.

We participate in alliances or other arrangements with external partners in the area of process technology, design technology, manufacturing technology
and materials development to reduce the cost of development and accelerate access to new technologies. We have several research projects with IMEC (Leuven, Belgium), and collaborative research programs with CEA-LETI (Grenoble, France) and CNRS-LAAS
(Toulouse, France). We continually review our memberships in these technology research alliances and arrangements, and we may make changes from time to time. During the third quarter of 2008, we made a strategic decision to restructure our
participation in the IBM alliance, a jointly-funded research alliance (among several semiconductor manufacturers which was formed to develop 300-millimeter technologies) to terminate future rights and obligations under the alliance. In addition, our
jointly-funded alliance with STMicroelectronics and NXP (formerly Philips Semiconductors) in Crolles, France expired on December 31, 2007.

Our research and development locations include facilities in the United States, Canada, Brazil, China, Malaysia, India, Japan, Israel, Russia, Romania, the United Kingdom, France and Germany.

Manufacturing

Our goal is to provide cost
competitive solutions through a balanced use of internal capabilities and external manufacturing. We currently manufacture a substantial portion of our products at our own facilities. However, as part of our asset-light strategy, we utilize a
balance of internal and external manufacturing resources for standard CMOS processes and high-volume products. This is intended to allow us to maximize cash flow and minimize the risk associated with market fluctuations. We have relationships with
several wafer foundries and assembly and test subcontractors to meet our external sourcing needs. In addition, through agreements, we have access to external foundry manufacturing capacity for other advanced technologies such as 300-millimeter
technologies. Our jointly-funded alliance with STMicroelectronics and NXP for 300 millimeter wafer fabrication in Crolles, France terminated on December 31, 2007.

Based on total units produced in 2008, approximately 20% of our front-end manufacturing was outsourced to wafer foundries. This percentage may change as our business and our product mix changes. We outsourced
approximately 48% of our back-end manufacturing to assembly and test contractors, based on total units produced in 2008. We are currently in-sourcing selected assembly and test technologies in an effort to increase our gross margin and decrease the
percentage of outsourced back-end manufacturing.

We own and operate eight manufacturing facilities, of which six are wafer fabrication
facilities and the remaining two are assembly and test facilities. These facilities are certified to the ISO-9000/14001 international quality standards, as well as the TS16949 standard for the automotive industry. The following table describes our
manufacturing facilities:

|(1) | This manufacturing facility is scheduled to close in May 2009.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------

Our manufacturing processes require many raw materials, such as silicon wafers, mold compound, packaging substrates and various chemicals and gases, and the necessary equipment for manufacturing. We obtain these materials and equipment from
a large number of suppliers located throughout the world. These suppliers deliver products to us on a just-in-time basis, and we believe that they have sufficient supply to meet our current needs, although it is possible that we could experience
inadequate supply due to a sudden worldwide surge in demand.

Like many global companies, we maintain plans to respond to external
developments that may affect our employees, facilities or business operations. Business continuity is very important to us as we strive to ensure reliability of supply to our customers. TS16949 quality standards, our standards of internal control,
and our quality standards all require a business continuity plan to effectively return critical business functions to normal in the case of an unplanned event, and our operations are certified to all of these standards. We require our major
foundries, assembly and test providers and other suppliers to have a business continuity plan as well. However, in the event that our manufacturing capacity, either internal or external, is disrupted, we could experience difficulty fulfilling
customer orders.

Our business continuity plan covers issues related to continuing operations (for example, continuity of manufacturing and
supply to customers), crisis management of our business sites (for example, prevention and recovery from computer, data, hardware and software loss) and information protection. We perform annual risk assessments at each site, reviewing activities,
scenarios, risks and actual events, and conduct annual test drills. Generally, we maintain multiple sources of supply of qualified technologies. We also audit our suppliers compliance with their plans.

Competition

The semiconductor industry is highly
competitive and characterized by constant and rapid technological change, short product lifecycles, significant price erosion and evolving standards. Although few companies compete with us in all of our product areas, our competitors range from
large, international companies offering a full range of products to smaller companies specializing in narrow markets within the semiconductor industry. The competitive environment is also changing as a result of increased alliances among our
competitors and through strategic acquisitions. Our competitors may have greater financial, personnel and other resources than we have in a particular market or overall. We expect competition in the markets in which we participate to continue to
increase as existing competitors improve or expand their product offerings or as new participants enter our markets. Increased competition may result in reduced profitability and reduced market share.

##### Table of Contents

We compete in our different product lines primarily on the basis of price, technology offered, product
features, warranty, quality and availability of service, time-to-market and reputation. Our ability to develop new products to meet customer requirements and to meet customer delivery schedules are also critical factors. New products represent the
most significant opportunity to overcome the increased competition and pricing pressure inherent in the semiconductor industry.

Our
primary competitors are other integrated device manufacturers, such as Infineon Technologies AG, Intel Corporation, Renesas Technology Corporation, STMicroelectronics, Microchip Technology Incorporated, Broadcom Corp., National Semiconductor
Corporation, Analog Devices Incorporated, Cavium Networks, Inc. and Texas Instruments Incorporated.

Products and Applications

We design, develop, manufacture and market a broad range of semiconductor products that are based on our core capabilities in embedded processing. In
addition, we offer customers differentiated products that complement our embedded processors, such as sensors, radio frequency semiconductors, and power management and other analog and mixed-signal semiconductors. Our capabilities enable us to offer
customers a broad range of product offerings, from individual devices to platform-level products that combine semiconductors with software for a given application.

In 2008, we announced plans to exit the cellular handset business. The discussion that follows presents our product portfolio and sales and market strategy as it relates to our three remaining major product design
groups.

Microcontroller Solutions

Overview

Microcontroller Solutions product offerings include the key components of embedded control systems. These components include embedded
processors, specifically microcontrollers and embedded microprocessors. We provide comprehensive product offerings, including development tools, application support, training, documentation and platforms.

Embedded control systems are found in a number of applications. For example, Microcontroller Solutions products can serve as the brains of
automotive control systems, from wipers that respond to the intensity of rainfall to engine management systems that have significantly reduced exhaust emissions and fuel consumption while giving drivers enhanced performance. Microcontroller
Solutions products can reduce power consumption in portable consumer products and can wirelessly communicate mouse clicks to a computer. Microcontroller Solutions products can monitor food temperature in fast food restaurants and temperature in
industrial equipment. They are found in homes in places such as remote controls, microwave ovens, thermostats and toys.

Primary
application areas for Microcontroller Solutions products include:



| |  |  | automotive (for use in airbags, anti-lock braking systems, comfort, engine management, vehicle stability control, instrument cluster, and telematics systems);
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | consumer (for use in alarm systems, home appliances, remote controls, toys and other electronic devices);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | industrial (for use in electronic motor control, manufacturing process control, measuring equipment and point-of-sale equipment); and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | computer peripherals (for use in displays, keyboards, mice and printers).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Market Opportunity

Microcontroller Solutions addresses the markets for microcontrollers as well as
portions of the embedded microprocessor market. Automotive, industrial, consumer and computer peripherals are the primary application areas for Microcontroller Solutions products.

The automotive industry currently represents the largest portion of Microcontroller Solutions sales. Semiconductor demand in this market is driven by
vehicle production and the increasing electronic content in vehicles, particularly in the areas of safety, powertrain management, comfort and entertainment features. The desire to reduce fuel consumption and emissions is driving demand in powertrain
management. Also driving growth in this market is the replacement of mechanical systems with electronically controlled systems. Examples are the replacement of manually operated car windows, the replacement of hydraulic power steering with electric
power steering, and, in the future, the replacement of hydraulic brakes with electronic brake-by-wire systems.

The industrial,
consumer and computer peripheral industries also represent significant market opportunities for Microcontroller Solutions. Our Microcontroller Solutions strategy is to expand our portfolio of both general purpose and application specific products
for the industrial, consumer and computer peripheral markets.

Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensors

Overview

Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensors products
include analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, sensors, and radio frequency devices. Our sensor devices and analog and mixed signal integrated circuits serve as the interface between the outside world and the embedded systems. Radio Frequency,
Analog and Sensors products also include high power radio frequency devices for base transceiver stations. These products complement our portfolio of microcontrollers and microprocessors.

Market Opportunity

Radio Frequency, Analog and
Sensors addresses the markets for analog and mixed-signal semiconductors. Automotive, industrial, consumer, wireless, networking and computer peripherals are the primary application areas for Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensors products.

Principal Products



| |  |  | Analog and Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits. Our analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits perform one or more of a number of functions, including driving
actuators (such as motors, valves, lights and speakers), providing power to the electronic components in a system, filtering or amplifying signals and providing the voltage and current for communications devices. These integrated circuits combine
logic, analog and power circuits.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sensors. We provide three primary categories of semiconductor-based sensors: pressure sensors, inertial sensors and proximity sensors. Pressure sensors
measure the pressure of gases or liquids. For example, automotive engine management systems require the measurement of air pressure to optimize the combustion process. Other applications include blood pressure measurement, water level sensing in
washing machines and tire pressure monitoring systems. Inertial sensors measure acceleration and gravitational fields. Common applications for inertial sensors are airbag systems to detect crashes and vehicle stability control systems to prevent
crashes. Low-g inertial sensors can be used for non-automotive applications, such as measuring the vibration of washing machines, gauging running speed and distance in running shoes, or detecting free fall in handheld devices to trigger
mechanisms that protect disc drives. Proximity sensors use electric fields to detect nearby objects. Touch pads are a typical application.

Backlog

Our backlog was $0.7 billion at December 31, 2008 compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2007. Orders
are placed by customers for delivery for up to as much as 12 months in the future, but for purposes of calculating backlog, only the next 13 weeks requirements are reported. An order is removed from the backlog only when the product is
shipped, the order is cancelled or the order is rescheduled beyond the 13-week delivery window used for backlog reporting. In the semiconductor industry, backlog quantities and shipment schedules under outstanding purchase orders are frequently
revised in response to changes in customer needs. Typically, agreements calling for the sale of specific quantities at specific prices are contractually subject to price or quantity revisions and are, as a matter of industry practice, rarely
formally enforced. Therefore, we believe that most of our order backlog is cancelable. For these reasons, the amount of backlog as of any particular date may not be an accurate indicator of future results.

Environmental Matters

For a discussion of the
material effects of compliance with environmental laws, please see Item 3. Environmental Matters.

Employees

As of December 31, 2008 we employed approximately 22,900 full-time employees. None of our U.S. employees are represented by labor unions. A portion
of our non-U.S. employees are represented by labor unions or work councils. We consider relations with our employees to be satisfactory.

|Item 1A: | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Set forth below and elsewhere in this
report and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission are risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this
report and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

The current crisis in global
credit and financial markets could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

As widely reported,
global credit and financial markets have been experiencing extreme disruptions in recent months, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment
rates, and uncertainty about economic stability. There can be no assurance that there will not be further deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions. These economic uncertainties affect businesses such as
ours in a number of ways, making it difficult to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. The current tightening of credit in financial markets may lead consumers and businesses to postpone spending, which may cause our customers
to cancel, decrease or delay their existing and future orders with us. In addition, financial difficulties experienced by our suppliers or distributors could result in product delays, increased accounts receivable defaults and inventory challenges.
The continuing disruption in the credit markets has severely restricted access to capital. As a result, the ability to incur additional indebtedness to fund operations or refinance maturing obligations as they become due is significantly
constrained. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the current disruptions in the credit and financial markets and adverse global economic conditions, and if the current uncertain economic conditions continue or further
deteriorate, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The loss of one or more of our significant customers
or a decline in demand from one or more of these customers could have a material negative impact on net sales.

Historically, we
have relied on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our total sales. Our ten largest end customers accounted for approximately 53% of our net sales in 2008. As a result, the loss of or a reduction in demand from one or more of
these customers, either as a result of industry conditions or specific events relating to a particular customer, could have a material negative impact on net sales. For example, Motorola is our largest customer and it accounted for approximately 23%
of our net sales in 2008 and over 90% of net sales of our Cellular Products. Motorolas wireless handset sales decreased significantly compared to historical levels and it has lost considerable
market share since 2006. As a result, we experienced a significant reduction in sales of our Cellular Products to Motorola, which only represented 8% of our sales in the fourth quarter of 2008. We expect the decline in sales of our
Cellular Products to Motorola to continue to accelerate in 2009. On October 2, 2008, we announced that we were exploring strategic options for our cellular handset business in an effort to complete a sale, joint venture agreement or other
transformation. In the third quarter of 2008, Motorola agreed to provide certain consideration in exchange for eliminating its remaining purchase commitments.

We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant downturns.

The
semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and is characterized by constant and rapid technological change, rapid product obsolescence and price erosion, evolving standards, short product life-cycles and fluctuations in product supply and demand. The
industry has experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles of both semiconductor companies and their customers products and declines in general economic conditions. These
downturns have been characterized by diminished product demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. We have experienced these conditions in our business in the past, are currently
experiencing these conditions and may experience such downturns in the future. We may not be able to manage these downturns which could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In difficult market conditions, our high fixed costs combined with potentially lower revenues may negatively impact our results.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by high fixed costs and, notwithstanding our utilization of third-party manufacturing capacity, most of our
production requirements are met by our own manufacturing facilities. In difficult industry environments like the one we are currently experiencing, we are generally faced with a decline in the utilization rates of our manufacturing facilities due to
decreases in product demand. During such periods, our fabrication plants do not operate at full capacity and the costs associated with this excess capacity are charged directly to cost of sales. By the end of 2008, our utilization rate declined from
74% to 51%, or by 23 percentage points, compared to the end of 2007, which resulted in lower margins. The market conditions in the future may continue to adversely affect our utilization rates and consequently our future gross margins, and this, in
turn, could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operating results are subject to substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations.

Our revenues and operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations are due to a number of
factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among others:



| |  |  | changes in end-user demand for the products manufactured and sold by our customers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of receipt, reduction or cancellation of significant orders by customers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in the levels of component inventories held by our customers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the gain or loss of significant customers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | market acceptance of our products and our customers products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to develop, introduce and market new products and technologies on a timely basis;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and extent of product development costs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | new product and technology introductions by competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in manufacturing yields;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | availability and cost of products from our suppliers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in our product mix or customer mix;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | intellectual property disputes;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes and earthquakes, as well as interruptions in power supply resulting therefrom or due to other causes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loss of key personnel or the shortage of available skilled workers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effects of competitive pricing pressures, including decreases in average selling prices of our products;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effects of adverse economic conditions in the United States and international markets, including the current crisis in global credit and financial markets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effectiveness of our efforts to refocus our operations and reduce our cost structure;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | manufacturing, assembly and test capacity; and,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to hire, retain and motivate key employees to meet the demands of our customers.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The foregoing factors are difficult to forecast, and these, as well as other factors, could have a material negative impact on our quarterly or annual
operating results. In addition, a significant amount of our operating expenses is relatively fixed in nature due to our research and development and manufacturing costs. If we cannot adjust spending quickly enough to compensate, it could have a
material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Winning business is subject to a competitive selection
process that can be lengthy and requires us to incur significant expense, and we may not be selected. Even after we win and begin a product design, a customer may decide to cancel or change its product plans, which could cause us to generate no
sales from a product and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our primary focus is on winning competitive bid selection
processes, known as design wins, to develop products for use in our customers equipment. These selection processes can be lengthy and can require us to incur significant design and development expenditures. We may not win the
competitive selection process and may never generate any revenue despite incurring significant design and development expenditures. Because of the rapid rate of technological change, the loss of a design win could result in our failure to offer a
generation of a product. In addition, the failure to offer a generation of a product to a particular customer could prevent access to that customer for several years. The risks are particularly pronounced in the automotive market, where there are
longer design cycles. Our failure to win a sufficient number of designs could result in lost sales and hurt our competitive position in future selection processes because we may not be perceived as being a technology or industry leader, each of
which could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

After winning a product design for one of our customers, we may still experience delays in generating revenue from our products as a result of the lengthy development and design cycle. In
addition, a delay or cancellation of a customers plans could significantly and adversely affect our financial results, as we may have incurred significant expense and generated no revenue. Finally, if our customers fail to successfully market
and sell their equipment, it could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations as the demand for our products falls.

We have become dependent on third-party foundry relationships as part of our asset-light strategy. If our
production or manufacturing capacity at one of these facilities is delayed, interrupted or eliminated, we may not be able to satisfy customer demand.

As part of our asset-light strategy, we have reduced the number of our owned manufacturing facilities. We continue to develop outsourcing arrangements for the manufacture and test and assembly of certain products and
components. Based on total units produced, we outsourced approximately 20% of our wafer fabrication and approximately 48% of our assembly, packaging and testing in 2008. As a result, some of our products are manufactured outside of our own
facilities, and we are relying on the utilization of third-party foundry manufacturing and assembly and test capacity. If production or manufacturing capacity is delayed, reduced or eliminated at one or more facilities, with fewer alternative
facilities, manufacturing would be disrupted, we would have difficulties or delays in fulfilling our customer orders, and our sales could decline. In addition, if a third-party manufacturer fails to deliver quality products and components on time
and at reasonable prices, we would have difficulties fulfilling our customer orders, and our sales could decline. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

To the extent we rely on alliances and third-party design and/or manufacturing relationships, we face the following risks:



| |  |  | reduced control over delivery schedules and product costs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | manufacturing costs that are higher than anticipated;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inability of our manufacturing partners to develop manufacturing methods and technology appropriate for our products and their unwillingness to devote adequate
capacity to produce our products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | decline in product reliability;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | inability to maintain continuing relationships with our suppliers; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restricted ability to meet customer demand when faced with product shortages.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, purchasing rather than manufacturing these products may adversely affect our gross profit margin if the purchase costs of these products
become higher than our own manufacturing costs would have been. Our internal manufacturing costs include depreciation and other fixed costs, while costs for products outsourced are based on market conditions. Prices for foundry products also vary
depending on capacity utilization rates at our suppliers, quantities demanded, product technology and geometry. Furthermore, these outsourcing costs can vary materially from quarter-to-quarter and, in cases of industry shortages, they can increase
significantly, negatively impacting our gross margin.

If any of these risks are realized, we could experience an interruption in our
supply chain or an increase in costs, which could delay or decrease our revenue or adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to keep pace with technological advances in our industry and associated manufacturing processes, or if we pursue technologies that do not become commercially accepted, our products may not be as competitive, our customers
may not buy our products and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Technology and
associated manufacturing processes are an important component of our business and growth strategy. Our success depends to a significant extent on the development, implementation and acceptance of new product designs and improvements. Commitments to
develop new products must be made well in advance of any resulting sales. Technologies, standards or manufacturing processes may change during development, potentially rendering our products outdated or uncompetitive before their introduction. Our
ability to develop products and related technologies to meet evolving industry requirements and at prices acceptable to our customers will be significant factors in determining our competitiveness in our target markets. If we are unable to
successfully develop new products, our revenues may decline and our business could be negatively impacted.

We face significant competitive pressures
that may cause us to lose market share and harm our financial performance.

The semiconductor industry is highly competitive and
characterized by constant and rapid technological change, short product lifecycles, significant price erosion and evolving standards. If we fail to keep pace with the rest of the semiconductor industry, we could lose market share in the markets in
which we compete. Any such loss in market share could have a material negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Although few companies compete with us in all of our product areas, our competitors range from large, international companies offering a full range of products to smaller companies
specializing in narrow markets within the semiconductor industry. The competitive environment is also changing as a result of increased alliances among our competitors and through strategic acquisitions. Our competitors may have greater financial,
personnel and other resources than we have in a particular market or overall. We expect competition in the markets in which we participate to continue to increase as existing competitors improve or expand their product offerings or as new
participants enter our markets. Increased competition may result in reduced profitability and reduced market share.

We compete in our
different product lines primarily on the basis of price, technology offered, product features, warranty, quality and availability of service, time-to-market and reputation. Our ability to develop new products to meet customer requirements and to



10

##### Table of Contents

meet customer delivery schedules are also critical factors. New products represent the most important opportunity to overcome the increased competition and
pricing pressure inherent in the semiconductor industry. If we are unable to keep pace with technology changes, our market share could decrease and our business would be adversely affected.

The demand for our products depends in large part on continued growth in the industries into which they are sold. A market decline in any of these industries could
have a material negative impact on our results of operations.

Our growth is dependent, in part, on end-user demand for our
customers products. Any industry downturns that adversely affect our customers or their customers, including increases in bankruptcies in relevant industries, could adversely affect end-user demand for our customers products, which would
adversely affect demand for our products.

Growth in demand in the markets we serve has in the past and may in the future fluctuate
significantly based on numerous factors, including:



| |  |  | capital spending levels of our networking customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | consumer spending;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | worldwide automotive production levels;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | rate of adoption of new or alternative technologies;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in regulation of products and services provided; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------

The
rate, or extent to which, the industries we serve will grow, if at all, is uncertain. The industries we serve are currently experiencing a decline in general economic conditions, which could result in slower growth or a decline in demand for our
products, which could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our automotive
customer base is comprised largely of suppliers to U.S. and European automotive manufacturers. Light vehicle production by the Big 3 U.S. automakers has declined significantly in 2008. Shifts in demand away from U.S. and European automotive
manufacturers or continued lower demand for U.S. and European automobiles could adversely affect our sales.

The specific products in which
our semiconductors are incorporated may not be successful, or may experience price erosion or other competitive factors that affect the prices manufacturers are willing to pay us. Such customers may vary order levels significantly from period to
period, request postponements to scheduled delivery dates, modify their orders or reduce lead times. This is particularly common during times of low demand for those end products. This can make managing our business difficult, as it limits the
foreseeability of future sales. Furthermore, projected industry growth rates may not be as forecast, resulting in spending on process and product development well ahead of market requirements, which could have a material negative impact on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights or
demands that we license third-party technology, which could result in significant expense and impair our freedom of operation.

We
depend significantly on patents and other intellectual property rights to protect our products and proprietary design and fabrication processes against misappropriation by others. From time to time, third parties may and do assert against us their
patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights relating to technologies that are important to our business. Any claims that our products or processes infringe these rights (including claims arising through our contractual
indemnification of our customers), regardless of their merit or resolution, could be costly and may divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel. We may not prevail in such proceedings given the complex technical issues
and inherent uncertainties in intellectual property litigation. If such proceedings result in an adverse outcome, we could be required to:



| |  |  | pay substantial damages (potentially treble damages in the United States);
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cease the manufacture, use or sale of the infringing products or processes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | discontinue the use of the infringing technology;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | license technology from the third party claiming infringement, which license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or may not be available at all;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comply with the terms of import restrictions imposed by the International Trade Commission, or similar administrative or regulatory authority; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | forego the opportunity to license our technology to others or to collect royalty payments based upon successful protection and assertion of our intellectual
property against others.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our use of intellectual property rights is subject to license agreements, some of which contain
provisions that may require the consent of the counterparties to remain in effect after a change of control. If we are unable to obtain any required consents under any material license agreements, our rights to use intellectual property licensed
under those agreements may be at risk.

Any of the foregoing could affect our ability to compete or have a material negative impact on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property rights or developing or
licensing new intellectual property, which may harm our ability to compete and may have a material negative impact on our results of operations.

We depend heavily on our rights to protect our technology from infringement and to ensure that we have the ability to generate royalty and other licensing revenues. Revenues are generated from the license of patents
and manufacturing technologies to third parties. Our intellectual property revenues were approximately 1%, 2% and 4% of our revenues during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our future intellectual property revenues depend in part on the continued
strength of our intellectual property portfolio and enforcement efforts, and on the sales and financial stability of our licensees. We rely primarily on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as on nondisclosure and
confidentiality agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary technologies. In the past, we have found it necessary to engage in litigation with other companies to force those companies to execute revenue-bearing license agreements with
us or prohibit their use of our intellectual property. Some of these proceedings did, and future proceedings may, require us to expend significant resources and to divert the efforts and attention of our management from our business operations. In
connection with our intellectual property:



| |  |  | the steps we take to prevent misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property may not be successful;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our existing or future patents may be challenged, limited, invalidated or circumvented; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the measures described above may not provide meaningful protection.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology without authorization, develop similar technology independently or design around our patents. Our
trade secrets may be vulnerable to disclosure or misappropriation by employees, contractors and other persons. Further, we may not be able to obtain patent protection or secure other intellectual property rights in all the countries in which we
operate, and under the laws of such countries, patents and other intellectual property rights may be unavailable or limited in scope. If any of our patents fails to protect our technology, it would make it easier for our competitors to offer similar
products. Any inability on our part to protect adequately our intellectual property may have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by the political and economic conditions of the countries in which we conduct business and other factors related to our
international operations.

We sell our products throughout the world. In 2008, 75% of our products were sold in countries other than
the United States. In addition, a majority of our operations and employees are located outside of the United States. Multiple factors relating to our international operations and to particular countries in which we operate could have a material
negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These factors include:



| |  |  | negative economic developments in economies around the world and the instability of governments, including the threat of war, terrorist attacks, epidemic or civil
unrest;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse changes in laws and governmental policies, especially those affecting trade and investment;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pandemics, such as the avian flu, which may adversely affect our workforce as well as our local suppliers and customers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | import or export licensing requirements imposed by governments;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | foreign currency exchange and transfer restrictions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | differing labor standards;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | differing levels of protection of intellectual property;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the threat that our operations or property could be subject to nationalization and expropriation;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | varying practices of the regulatory, tax, judicial and administrative bodies in the jurisdictions where we operate; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potentially burdensome taxation and changes in foreign tax laws.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

International conflicts are creating many economic and political uncertainties that are impacting the global economy. A continued escalation of international conflicts could severely impact our operations and demand
for our products.

In certain of the countries where we sell our products, effective protections for
patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets may be unavailable or limited in nature and scope. In addition, as we target increased sales in Asia, differing levels of protection of our intellectual property in Asian countries could have a
significant impact on our business. As a result, the laws, the enforcement of laws, or our efforts to obtain and enforce intellectual property protections in any of these jurisdictions may not be sufficient to protect our intellectual property.

##### Table of Contents

A majority of our products are manufactured in Asia, primarily in China, Japan, Malaysia and Taiwan. Any
conflict or uncertainty in these countries, including due to public health or safety concerns (such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or avian flu) or natural disasters (such as earthquakes), could have a material negative impact on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if the government of any country in which our products are manufactured or sold sets technical standards for products made in or imported into their country that are not widely shared, it
may lead certain of our customers to suspend imports of their products into that country, require manufacturers in that country to manufacture products with different technical standards and disrupt cross-border manufacturing partnerships which, in
each case, could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to meet customer demand
depends, in part, on our production capacity, on obtaining supplies, a number of which are obtained from a single source, and on forecasting future demand; and a reduction or disruption in our production capacity or our supplies or an incorrect
forecast could negatively impact our business.

Demand for our products is subject to significant fluctuation. If we overestimate
demand, we may experience underutilized capacity and excess inventory levels. If we underestimate demand, we may miss sales opportunities and incur additional costs for labor overtime, equipment overuse and logistical complexities. Additionally, our
production capacity could be affected by manufacturing problems. Difficulties in the production process could reduce yields or interrupt production, and, as a result of such problems, we may not be able to deliver products on time or in a
cost-effective, competitive manner. As the complexity of both our products and our fabrication processes has become more advanced, manufacturing tolerances have been reduced and requirements for precision have become more demanding. We have in the
past experienced manufacturing difficulties that have given rise to delays in delivery and quality control problems. Our failure to adequately manage our capacity could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

Furthermore, we may suffer disruptions in our manufacturing operations, either due to production difficulties such as those
described above or as a result of external factors beyond our control. We use highly combustible materials such as silane and hydrogen in our manufacturing processes and are therefore subject to the risk of explosions and fires, which can cause
significant disruptions to our operations. These can occur even in the absence of any fault on our part. If operations at a manufacturing facility are interrupted, we may not be able to shift production to other facilities on a timely basis or at
all. In addition, certain of our products are only capable of being produced at a single manufacturing facility and to the extent that any of these facilities fail to produce these products, this risk will be increased. Even if a transfer is
possible, transitioning production of a particular type of semiconductor from one of our facilities to another can take between six to 12 months to accomplish, and in the interim period we would likely suffer significant or total supply disruption
and incur substantial costs. Such an event could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to meet customer demands also depends on our ability to obtain timely and adequate delivery of materials, parts and components from our suppliers. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit the amounts supplied to
us or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. Supply disruptions may also occur due to shortages in critical materials, such as silicon wafers or specialized chemicals, or energy or other general supplier disruptions. We have
experienced shortages in the past that have adversely affected our operations. Although we work closely with our suppliers to avoid these types of shortages, we may encounter these problems in the future. In addition, a number of our supplies are
obtained from a single source. A reduction or interruption in supplies or a significant increase in the price of one or more supplies could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may engage in acquisitions, joint ventures and other transactions that may complement or expand our business. We may not be able to complete these
transactions and, if executed, these transactions pose significant risks and could have a negative effect on our operations.

Our
future success may be dependent on opportunities to enter into joint ventures and to buy other businesses or technologies that could complement, enhance or expand our current business or products or that might otherwise offer us growth
opportunities. If we are unable to identify suitable targets, our growth prospects may suffer, and we may not be able to realize sufficient scale advantages to compete effectively in all markets. In addition, in pursuing acquisitions, we may face
competition from other companies in the semiconductor industry. Our ability to acquire targets may also be limited by applicable antitrust laws and other regulations in the United States, the European Union and other jurisdictions in which we do
business. To the extent that we are successful in making acquisitions, we may have to expend substantial amounts of cash, incur debt, assume loss-making divisions and incur other types of expenses. We may not be able to complete such transactions,
for reasons including, but not limited to, a failure to secure financing or as a result of restrictive covenants in our debt instruments. Any transactions that we are able to identify and complete may involve a number of risks, including:



| |  |  | the diversion of our managements attention from our existing business to integrate the operations and personnel of the acquired or combined business or joint
venture;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



13

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | possible negative impacts on our operating results during the integration process; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our possible inability to achieve the intended objectives of the transaction.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, we may not be able to successfully or profitably integrate, operate, maintain and manage our newly acquired operations or employees. We may
not be able to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, and this may lead to operational inefficiencies.

We are subject to
environmental, health and safety laws, which could increase our costs and restrict our operations in the future.

Our operations are
subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, soil
and groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. Any failure by us to comply with environmental, health and safety requirements could result in the limitation or suspension of production or subject us to monetary fines or civil or
criminal sanctions, or other future liabilities in excess of our reserves. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing the recycling of our products, the materials that may be included in our products, and our obligation to dispose of our
products at the end of their useful life. For example, the European Directive 2002/95/Ec on restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS), bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than
specified levels of lead, and other hazardous compounds. As more countries enact requirements like the RoHS Directive, and as exemptions are phased out, we could incur substantial additional costs to convert the remainder of our portfolio, conduct
required research and development, alter manufacturing processes, or adjust supply chain management. Such changes could also result in significant inventory obsolescence. In addition, compliance with environmental, health and safety requirements
could restrict our ability to expand our facilities or require us to acquire costly pollution control equipment, incur other significant expenses or modify our manufacturing processes. In the event of the discovery of new or previously unknown
contamination, additional requirements with respect to existing contamination, or the imposition of other cleanup obligations for which we are responsible, we may be required to take remedial or other measures which could have a material negative
impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition to the costs of complying with environmental, health
and safety requirements, we have incurred and may in the future incur costs defending against environmental litigation brought by government agencies and private parties. We may be defendants in lawsuits brought by parties in the future alleging
environmental damage, personal injury or property damage. A significant judgment against us could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to personal injury claims based on alleged links between the semiconductor manufacturing process and certain illnesses.

In the last few years, there has been increased media scrutiny and associated reports focusing on an alleged link between working in semiconductor manufacturing clean room environments and certain illnesses, primarily
different types of cancers. Because we utilize these clean rooms, we may become subject to liability claims. In addition, these reports may also affect our ability to recruit and retain employees. A significant judgment against us could harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our products may be subject to product liability and warranty claims, which could be
expensive and could divert managements attention.

We make highly complex electronic components and, accordingly, there is a
risk that defects may occur in any of our products. Such defects may damage our reputation and can give rise to significant costs, including expenses relating to recalling products, replacing defective items, writing down defective inventory, delays
in, cancellations of, rescheduling or return of orders or shipments and loss of potential sales. In addition, the occurrence of such defects may give rise to product liability and warranty claims, including liability for damages caused by such
defects. If we release defective products into the market, our reputation could suffer and we could lose sales opportunities and become liable to pay damages. Moreover, since the cost of replacing defective semiconductor devices is often much higher
than the value of the devices themselves, we may at times face damage claims from customers in excess of the amounts they pay us for our products, including consequential damages.

We also face exposure to potential liability resulting from the fact that our customers typically integrate the semiconductors we sell into numerous
consumer products, which are then in turn sold into the marketplace. We may be named in product liability claims even if there is no evidence that our products caused a loss. Product liability claims could result in significant expenses relating to
defense costs or damages awards. In particular, the sale of systems and components for the transportation industry involves a high degree of risk that such claims may be made. In addition, we may be required to participate in a recall if any of our
systems prove to be defective, or we may voluntarily initiate a recall or make payments related to such claims as a result of various industry or business practices or in order to maintain good customer relationships. Each of these actions would
likely harm our reputation and lead to substantial expense. Any product liability claim brought against us could have a material negative impact on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our industry is highly capital intensive and, if we are unable to obtain the necessary capital, we may not remain
competitive.

To remain competitive, we must constantly improve our facilities and process technologies and carry out extensive
research and development, each of which requires investment of significant amounts of capital. This risk is magnified by our high level of debt, since we are required to use a significant portion of our cash flow to service that debt, and also
because our level of debt limits our ability to raise additional capital. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash or raise sufficient capital to meet both our debt service and capital investment requirements, or if we are unable to raise
required capital on favorable terms when needed, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially negatively impacted.

Loss of our key management and other personnel, or an inability to attract key management and other personnel, could impact our business.

We depend on our senior executive officers and other key personnel to run our business and on technical experts to develop new products and technologies. In 2008, we experienced turnover in a majority of our senior
management positions, including our Chief Executive Officer. Continued turnover in these positions or the loss of other key personnel could adversely affect our operations. Competition for qualified employees among companies that rely heavily on
engineering and technology is intense, and the loss of qualified employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder our ability to
conduct research and development activities successfully and develop marketable products. In the technology sector, the use of equity as incentive compensation is an important part of the compensation package for professionals. Although we maintain
an incentive compensation plan, our equity is not publicly traded, which may have a negative impact on our ability to recruit and retain professionals. In addition, during periods of economic weakness, high exercise prices on our stock options may
make incentive compensation ineffective.

We have recorded significant reorganization of business and asset impairment charges in the past and may do
so again in the future, which could have a material negative impact on our business.

In 2008, we recorded restructuring and asset
impairment charges relating to our efforts to consolidate manufacturing operations and streamline our global organizational structure in the amount of $320 million. We also recorded $7.0 billion of impairment charges in the second half of 2008
related to our goodwill and intangible assets. Due to a combination of the constant and rapid change experienced in the semiconductor industry, we may incur employee termination, exit costs and asset impairment charges in the future and such charges
may have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time we may also decide
to divest certain product lines and businesses or restructure our operations, including through the contribution of assets to joint ventures. However, our ability to successfully extricate ourselves from product lines and businesses, or to close or
consolidate operations, depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. For example, if we are seeking a buyer for a particular product line, none may be available. In addition, we may face internal obstacles to our
efforts. In some cases, particularly with respect to our European operations, there may be laws or other legal impediments affecting our ability to carry out such sales or restructuring. As a result, we may be unable to exit a product line or
business, or to restructure our operations, in a manner we deem to be advantageous.

We rely on manufacturing capacity located in geologically
unstable areas, which could affect the availability of supplies and services.

We, like many companies in the semiconductor
industry, rely on internal manufacturing capacity, wafer fabrication foundries and other sub-contractors in geologically unstable locations around the world, This reliance involves risks associated with the impact of earthquakes onus and the
semiconductor industry, including temporary loss of capacity, availability and cost of key raw materials, utilities and equipment and availability of key services, including transport of our products worldwide. Any prolonged inability to utilize one
of our manufacturing facilities, or those of our subcontractors or third-party wafer fabrication foundries, as a result of fire, natural disaster, unavailability of utilities or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations and financial condition.

We have a history of losses, and we may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future, on a quarterly or
annual basis.

We have incurred an operating loss since 2006, and we expect to incur an operating loss in 2009. We expect to make
significant expenditures related to the development of our products, including research and development and sales and administrative expenses. Additionally, we may encounter unforeseen difficulties, complications, product delays and other unknown
factors that require additional expenditures. As a result of these increased expenditures, we may have to generate and sustain substantially increased revenue to achieve profitability. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve or maintain
profitability and we may continue to incur significant losses in the future.

Risks Related to Indebtedness

Our subsidiaries are highly leveraged. The substantial leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, expose us to
interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from meeting our obligations under the notes.

Our
subsidiaries are highly leveraged. As of December 31, 2008, the total indebtedness of our subsidiaries was approximately $9.8 billion. Our subsidiaries also had an additional $207 million available for borrowing under the senior secured
revolving credit facility and the option to increase the amount available under the term loan and revolving credit facility by up to an aggregate of $1 billion on an uncommitted basis. In addition, under the Senior PIK-Election Notes, our
subsidiaries have elected and have the option to continue to pay interest in the form of PIK interest through December 15, 2011. In the event we make a PIK interest election in each period in which we are entitled to make such an election, our
debt will increase by the amount of such interest. We are a guarantor of the indebtedness.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, our
subsidiaries elected to use the PIK interest feature for the interest period ending on June 15, 2009 as a prudent method to enhance liquidity in light of the dislocation in the current financial markets and the uncertainty as to when reasonable
conditions will return. As a result, $6 million of accrued PIK interest associated with the Senior PIK-Election Notes was properly classified as long-term debt as of December 31, 2008. In addition, our subsidiaries drew down $460 million in the
fourth quarter of 2008 under the senior secured revolving credit facility, net of non-funded commitments by Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. On January 21, 2009, our subsidiaries drew down an additional $184 million under the senior secured
revolving credit facility, leaving a remaining $23 million available for borrowing, net of $23 million of outstanding letters of credit and non-funded commitments by Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc.

This high degree of leverage could have important consequences, including:



| |  |  | increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry or competitive developments;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on the indebtedness, therefore reducing our
ability to use cash flow to fund operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates because certain of the borrowings, including borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities and the
senior floating rate notes, are at variable rates of interest;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | making it more difficult to satisfy obligations with respect to our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments,
including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in an event of default under the agreements governing the indebtedness;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, debt service requirements, acquisitions and
general corporate or other purposes; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to
competitors who are less highly leveraged and who therefore, may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us from exploiting.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our cash interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $677 million. At December 31, 2008, there was approximately $4,365
million aggregate principal amount of variable indebtedness under the senior floating rate notes and senior secured credit facility. A 1% increase in such rates would increase the annual interest expense by approximately $44 million.

Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to
prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a level of cash flow from operations sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if
any, and interest on our indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or
restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to take any of these actions, and these actions may not be successful or permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations and these actions may not be permitted under the terms of
our existing or future debt agreements. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other
obligations. Our debt agreements restrict our ability to dispose of assets. We may not be able to consummate such dispositions, which could result in our inability to meet debt service obligations.

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, we will be in default under one or more of our debt agreements
and, as a result, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

##### Table of Contents

Despite the high indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant additional amounts of
debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to
incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the agreements governing the indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications
and exceptions, and under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. In addition to the $23 million which is available for borrowing under the revolving credit
facility, we have the option to increase the amount available under the term loan and revolving credit facilities by up to an aggregate of $1 billion on an uncommitted basis. In addition, under the Senior PIK-Election Notes, our subsidiaries have
elected and have the option to continue to pay interest in the form of PIK interest through December 15, 2011, which would increase the amount of debt by the amount of any such interest. If new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries
existing debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase.

The debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in
operating our business.

The agreements governing our indebtedness contain various covenants that limit the ability to engage in
specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our, the restricted parent guarantors and our restricted subsidiaries ability to, among other things:



| |  |  | incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make certain investments;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | sell certain assets;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | create liens;
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | enter into certain transactions with our affiliates.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under one or more of these agreements, including as a result of cross default provisions and, in the case of the revolving credit facility, permit the
lenders to cease making loans to us. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the senior secured credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facility to be immediately due and
payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. Such actions by those lenders could cause cross defaults under our other indebtedness. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities
could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under the senior secured credit facilities. If the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities
accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay the senior secured credit facilities as well as our unsecured indebtedness.

Rises in interest rates could adversely affect our financial condition.

An increase in prevailing interest rates has
an immediate effect on LIBOR (the interest rate charge on our variable rate debt), which fluctuates on a regular basis. Although interest rates actually decreased in fiscal 2008, any increased interest expense associated with increases in interest
rates affects our cash flow and our ability to service our debt. As a protection against rising interest rates, we have entered and may in the future enter into agreements such as interest rate swaps contracts. However, the other parties to the
agreements may fail to perform or the terms may be unfavorable to us depending on rate movements.

We believe that all of our facilities and equipment are in good condition, are well maintained and are able to operate at present levels.

We have a concentration of manufacturing (including assembly and test) in Asia, primarily in China, Japan, Malaysia and Taiwan, either in our own facilities or in the facilities of third parties. If manufacturing in the region were
disrupted, our overall production capacity could be significantly reduced.



|Item 3: | Legal Proceedings

Intellectual Property Matters

Protection of our patent portfolio and other intellectual property rights is very important to our operations. We intend to continue to
license our intellectual property to third parties. We have a broad portfolio of approximately 6,200 patent families and numerous licenses, covering manufacturing processes, packaging technology, software systems and circuit design. A patent family
includes all of the equivalent patents and patent applications that protect the same invention, covering different geographical regions. These patents are typically valid for 20 years from the date of filing. We do not believe that any individual
patent, or the expiration thereof, is or would be material to our business.

Legal Proceedings

We are a defendant in various lawsuits, including intellectual property suits, and are subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of
business. The Company records an associated liability when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable.

From time to time,
we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including tort and contractual disputes, claims before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other employee grievances, and intellectual
property litigation and infringement claims. Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. Under agreements with Motorola, FSL, Inc. must indemnify
Motorola for certain liabilities related to our business incurred prior to our separation from Motorola.

A
purported class action, Howell v. Motorola, Inc., et al., was filed against Motorola and various of its directors, officers and employees in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Illinois District
Court) on July 21, 2003, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and violations of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The complaint alleged that the defendants had improperly permitted participants in the
Motorola 401(k) Plan (Plan) to purchase or hold shares of common stock of Motorola because the price of Motorolas stock was artificially inflated by a failure to disclose vendor financing to Telsim in connection with the sale of
telecommunications equipment by Motorola. The plaintiff sought to represent a class of participants in the Plan for whose individual accounts the Plan purchased or held shares of common stock of Motorola from May 16, 2000 to the
present, and sought an unspecified amount of damages. On September 30, 2005, the Illinois District Court dismissed the second amended complaint filed on October 15, 2004. Plaintiff filed an appeal to the dismissal on October 27,
2005. On March 19, 2007, the appeals court dismissed the appeal. Three new purported lead plaintiffs intervened in the case, and filed a motion for class certification seeking to represent Plan participants for whose individual accounts the
Plan purchased and/or held shares of Motorola common stock from May 16, 2000 through December 31, 2002. On September 28, 2007, the Illinois District Court granted the motion for class certification but narrowed the requested scope of
the class. Motorola has sought leave to appeal in the appellate court and reconsideration in the Illinois District Court of certain aspects of the class certification order. On October 25, 2007, the Illinois District Court modified the scope of
the class, granted summary judgment dismissing two of the individually-named defendants in light of the narrowed class, and ruled that the judgment as to the original named plaintiff, Howell, would be immediately appealable. The class as certified
includes all Plan participants for whose individual accounts the Plan purchased and/or held shares of Motorola common stock from May 16, 2000 through May 14, 2001 with certain exclusions. On February 15, 2008, Motorola and its
codefendants filed motions for summary judgment on all claims asserted by the class. Those motions are currently pending before the District Court. On February 22, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit agreed to hear
Motorolas interlocutory appeal of the District Courts order certifying the class. This hearing occurred on October 23, 2008, and the parties are awaiting the decision. As a

result of the terms of its separation from Motorola, it is possible that FSL, Inc. could be held responsible to Motorola for a portion of any judgment or
settlement in this matter. We continue to assess the merits of this action as well as the potential effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On April 17, 2007, Tessera Technologies, Inc. (Tessera) filed a complaint against FSL, Inc., ATI Technologies, Inc., Motorola, Inc.,
Qualcomm, Inc., Spansion, Inc., Spansion LLC, and STMicroelectronics N.V. (collectively, the Respondents) in the International Trade Commission (ITC) requesting the ITC enter an injunction barring the importation of any
product containing a device that infringes two identified patents related to ball grid array (BGA) packaging technology. On April 17, 2007, Tessera filed a parallel lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas against ATI, FSL, Inc., Motorola and Qualcomm claiming an unspecified amount of monetary damage as compensation for the alleged infringement of the same Tessera patents. Tesseras patent claims relate to BGA packaging
technology. On February 26, 2008, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) in the ITC proceeding granted the Respondents motion to stay the ITC proceeding pending the completion of the reexamination by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office of the two patents asserted by Tessera in the ITC proceeding. On March 27, 2008, the ITC reversed this decision and ordered the reinstatement of the ITC proceeding, which occurred during the week of July 14, 2008. On
December 1, 2008, the ALJ issued his determination finding in favor of the Respondents and recommending that no injunction barring importation of the Respondents products be entered. In accordance with its rights, Tessera petitioned the
ITC to review the ALJs determination on December 15, 2008. The ITC has decided to review the ALJs determination and is scheduled to issue its final determination by April 3, 2009. We continue to assess the merits of both of
these actions as well as the potential effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate governing,
among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination, and employee health and safety. As with other companies engaged in similar industries,
environmental compliance obligations and liability risks are inherent in many of our manufacturing and other activities. In the United States, certain environmental remediation laws, such as the federal Superfund law, can impose the
entire cost of site clean-up, regardless of fault, upon any single potentially responsible party, including companies that owned, operated, or sent wastes to a site. In some jurisdictions, environmental requirements may become more stringent in the
future which could affect our ability to obtain or maintain necessary authorizations and approvals or could result in increased environmental compliance costs. We believe that our operations are in compliance in all material respects with current
requirements under applicable environmental laws.

Motorola was identified as a potentially responsible party in the past, and has been
engaged in investigations, administrative proceedings and/or cleanup processes with respect to past chemical releases into the environment. FSL, Inc. agreed to indemnify Motorola for certain environmental liabilities related to its business,
including the matters described below. Potential future liability at such sites (excluding costs spent to date) may adversely affect our results of operations.

52nd Street Facility, Phoenix, AZ. In 1983, a trichloroethane leak from a solvent tank led to the discovery of chlorinated solvents in the groundwater underlying a former Motorola facility located on
52nd Street in Phoenix, Arizona, which resulted in the facility and adjacent areas being placed on the federal National Priorities List of Superfund sites. The 52nd Street site was subsequently divided into three operable units by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), which is overseeing site investigations and cleanup actions with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). To date, two separate soil cleanup actions have been completed at the first operable unit
(Operable Unit One), for which Motorola received letters stating that no further action would be required with respect to the soils. We also implemented and are operating a system to treat contaminated groundwater in Operable Unit One
and prevent migration of the groundwater from Operable Unit One. The EPA has not announced a final remedy for Operable Unit One and it is therefore possible that costs to be incurred at this operable unit in future periods may vary from our
estimates. In relation to the second operable unit, the EPA issued a record of decision in July 1994, and subsequently issued a consent decree, which required Motorola to design a remediation plan targeted at containing and cleaning up solvent
groundwater contamination downgradient of Operable Unit One. That remedy is now being implemented by FSL, Inc. and another potentially responsible party pursuant to an administrative order. The EPA and ADEQ are currently performing a remedial
investigation at the third operable unit (Operable Unit Three) to determine the extent of groundwater contamination. A number of additional potentially responsible parties, including Motorola, have been identified in relation to Operable
Unit Three. Because this investigation is in its early stages, we cannot predict at this time the extent to which we may be held liable for cleanup at Operable Unit Three or whether that liability would be material.

56th Street Facility, Phoenix, AZ. In 1985, the EPA initiated an inquiry concerning the former Motorola facility located on 56th Street in
Phoenix, Arizona following the discovery of organic compounds in certain local area wells. Motorola completed several remedial actions at this site including soil excavation and cleanup. We subsequently undertook voluntary negotiations with ADEQ,
who assumed primary responsibility for this matter in 2004 under the states Water Quality Assurance Revolving Fund Program.

|(3) | We believe that earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a useful financial metric to assess our ability to generate cash from
operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake capital expenditures. Given the significant investments that we have made in the past in property, plant and equipment, depreciation and amortization expense comprises a meaningful
portion of our cost structure. We believe that EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods of our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake
capital expenditures because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense attributable to our historically higher levels of capital expenditures. The term EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or
U.S. GAAP, and EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, EBITDA is impacted by reorganization of businesses and other restructuring-related charges. When
assessing our operating performance or our liquidity, you should not consider this data in isolation, or as a substitute for, our net cash from operating activities or other cash flow data that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In
addition, our EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do. A reconciliation of net earnings (loss), the most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to EBITDA for each of the respective periods indicated is as follows:

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for each of the three
years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 includes periods prior to the consummation of the Merger. Accordingly, the following discussion and analysis of historical periods prior to the consummation of the Merger does not reflect the
significant impact that the Merger has had and is expected to continue to have on us, including significantly increased leverage from our incurrence of approximately $9.8 billion in debt. You should read the following discussion of our results of
operations and financial condition in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes in Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward
looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual results may differ materially from
those contained in any forward looking statements.

Overview

On December 1, 2006, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (FSL, Inc.) was acquired by a consortium of private equity funds (the Merger). The consortium includes The Blackstone Group, The Carlyle
Group, funds advised by Permira Advisers, LLC, TPG Capital and others (collectively, the Sponsors). The Merger was accomplished through the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on September 15, 2006 (the
Merger Agreement) by and among FSL, Inc., Firestone Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that transferred and assigned all of its assets, liabilities, rights and obligations to Freescale Holdings L.P., a Cayman Islands
limited partnership (Parent), and Freescale Acquisition Corporation (formerly Firestone Acquisition Corporation), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement,
Merger Sub was merged with and into FSL, Inc., and as a result, FSL, Inc. continues as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent. Parent is an entity controlled by the Sponsors.

At the close of the Merger, FSL, Inc. became a subsidiary of Freescale Semiconductor Holdings V, Inc. (Holdings V), which is wholly
owned by Freescale Semiconductor Holdings IV, Ltd. (Holdings IV), which is wholly owned by Freescale Semiconductor Holdings III, Ltd. (Holdings III), which is wholly owned by Freescale Semiconductor
Holdings II, Ltd. (Holdings II), which is wholly owned by Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd. (Holdings I), substantially all of which is owned by Parent. All six of these companies were formed for
the purpose of facilitating the Merger and are collectively referred to as the Parent Companies. The reporting entity subsequent to the Merger is Holdings I. Holdings I refers to the operations of Holdings I and its
subsidiaries for both the Predecessor and Successor Periods. Holdings I (which may be referred to as the Company, Freescale, we, us or our) means Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd.
and its subsidiaries, as the context requires.

Although FSL, Inc. continues as the same legal entity after the Merger, the audited
consolidated financial statements for 2006 are presented for two periods: January 1 through December 1, 2006 (the Predecessor Period or Predecessor, as the context requires) and December 2 through
December 31, 2006 (the Successor Period or Successor, as the context requires), which relate to the period in 2006 preceding the Merger and the period in 2006 succeeding the Merger, respectively. The audited consolidated
financial statements for the Successor Period reflect the acquisition of FSL, Inc. under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141). The results of the
Successor are not comparable to the results of the Predecessor due to the difference in the basis of presentation of purchase accounting as compared to historical cost.

In connection with the Merger, FSL, Inc. incurred significant indebtedness. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources.) In addition, the purchase price paid in connection with the Merger has been allocated
to state the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value. The purchase accounting adjustments (i) increased the carrying value of our inventory and property, plant and equipment, (ii) established intangible assets for our
tradenames, customer lists, developed technology, and in-process research and development (IPR&D) (which was expensed in the Successor financial statements), and (iii) revalued our long-term benefit plan obligations, among other
things. Subsequent to the Merger, interest expense and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges have significantly increased.

Our Business. With over 50 years of operating history, FSL, Inc. is a leader in the design and manufacture of embedded processors. We currently focus on providing products to the
automotive, consumer, industrial, networking and wireless infrastructure industries. In addition to our embedded processors, we offer our customers a broad portfolio of complementary devices that provide connectivity between products, across
networks and to real-world signals, such as sound, vibration and pressure. Our complementary products include sensors, radio frequency semiconductors, power management and other analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Through our embedded
processors and complementary products, we are also able to offer our customers platform-level products, which incorporate both semiconductors and software. We believe that our ability to offer platform-level products will be increasingly important
to our long-term success in many markets within the semiconductor industry as our customers continue to move toward providers of embedded processors and complementary products.

Revenues and Expenses. Our revenues are derived from the sale of our embedded
processing and connectivity products and the licensing of our intellectual property.

We currently manufacture a substantial portion of our
products internally at our six wafer fabrication facilities and two assembly and test facilities. We track our inventory and cost of sales by using standard costs that are reviewed at least once a year and are valued at the lower of cost or market
value.

Our gross margin is greatly influenced by our utilization. Utilization refers only to our wafer fabrication facilities and is based
on the capacity of the installed equipment. As utilization rates decrease, there is less operating leverage as fixed manufacturing costs are spread over lower output. By the end of 2008, our utilization rate declined from 74% to 51%, or by 23
percentage points, compared to the end of 2007, which resulted in lower margins. We anticipate continued pressure on our utilization and gross margin in the near term due to the current macro-economic environment.

Trends in Our Business. We have experienced continued pressure on revenues associated with the macroeconomic weakness, particularly in the
automotive industry. We expect weaker demand with respect to the automotive industry as well as with other of our end markets to persist which will affect our revenues and profitability into 2009. Given the nature of the global macroeconomic
weakness and its effects on our end markets, we are unable to precisely forecast when or if revenues and profitability will return to previous levels. In addition, the semiconductor industry is consolidating, and nowhere is this more evident than in
the cellular handset market. The cellular handset growth rate has slowed, and the challenge to fund research and development and higher levels of integration is becoming increasingly costly.

On October 2, 2008, we announced plans to sharpen our strategic focus on growth markets and key market leadership positions. In addition, we
announced that we are exploring strategic options for our cellular handset business and intend to complete a sale, joint venture agreement or other transformation in the coming months. We also updated an arrangement with our customer, Motorola, on
September 26, 2008, whereby Motorola agreed to provide certain consideration in exchange for us eliminating their remaining minimum purchase commitments. Our cellular handset product group revenues decreased 82% in the fourth quarter of 2008
versus the fourth quarter of 2007 and by 13% for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus the prior year.

We have also been
significantly impacted by the weakness in the U.S. automotive market in 2008, as light vehicle production by the Big 3 U.S. automakers in 2008 declined approximately 22% versus the prior year. Our Microcontroller Solutions and Radio Frequency,
Analog and Sensor automotive revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 were 36% lower than the fourth quarter of 2007. Automotive revenues were 31% of our total revenues for 2008. We expect these conditions to persist into 2009 and to adversely affect
our revenues and profitability, but we are not able to precisely forecast the level and duration of such weakened demand.

In light of our
renewed focus on key market leadership positions and given general market conditions, we have initiated a series of restructuring actions in the fourth quarter of 2008 to streamline our cost structure and re-direct some research and development
investments into growth markets. These actions will reduce headcount in our supply chain, technology, marketing and general and administrative functions. We also implemented certain non-severance austerity measures which we also expect to result in
future cost savings. In addition, we made a strategic decision during the third quarter of 2008 to restructure our participation in the IBM alliance, a jointly-funded research alliance among several semiconductor manufacturers which was formed to
develop 300-millimeter technologies. We currently expect to incur cash restructuring charges of approximately $200 million and to realize corresponding annualized cost savings in excess of $600 million by the end of 2009. These restructuring
costs and savings are inclusive of the actions undertaken in the third and fourth quarters of 2008.

In connection with our updated
arrangement with Motorola, the significant decline in the market capitalization of the public companies in our peer group as of December 31, 2008, our intent to pursue strategic alternatives for our cellular handset product group and the impact
from weakening market conditions in our remaining businesses, we concluded that indicators of impairment existed related to our goodwill and intangible assets. These goodwill and intangible assets were primarily established in purchase accounting at
the completion of the Merger in December 2006. We recorded impairment charges of $5.4 billion and $1.6 billion associated with goodwill and intangible assets, respectively, in 2008.

Going forward, our business will be highly dependent on demand for electronic content in automobiles, networking and wireless infrastructure equipment
and other electronic devices. In addition, we operate in an industry that is highly cyclical and subject to constant and rapid technological change, product obsolescence, price erosion, evolving standards, short product life-cycles and wide
fluctuations in product supply and demand. For more information on trends and other factors affecting our business, see the Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors for further discussion.

##### Table of Contents

We sell our products to distributors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in a broad
range of market segments. The majority of our sales are derived from four major product design groups: Microcontroller Solutions, Cellular Products, Networking and Multimedia and Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensors. Other sales are attributable to
revenue from intellectual property, sales to other semiconductor companies and miscellaneous businesses.

Our net sales and orders of
approximately $5.2 billion and $4.8 billion in 2008 decreased 9% and 10%, respectively, compared to 2007. Lower net sales were driven by a decrease in microcontroller, analog and sensor product shipments due to decreasing production in the global
automotive industry and in connection with the termination of certain minimum purchase commitments of our cellular products by Motorola, partially offset by higher radio frequency product shipments related to increased demand in the Asian wireless
infrastructure market. Intellectual property revenue decreased 60% in 2008, as compared to 2007, to 1% as a percentage of net sales. Distribution sales approximated 17% of our total net sales and fell by 3% compared to 2007. Distribution inventory
was 14.0 weeks of net sales at December 31, 2008, compared to 11.8 weeks of net sales at December 31, 2007.

Microcontroller Solutions

Our Microcontroller Solutions product line represents the largest component of our total net sales. Microcontrollers and associated
application development systems represented approximately 31%, 33% and 30% of our total net sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Demand for our microcontroller products is driven by the automotive, consumer, industrial and computer
peripherals markets. The automotive end market accounted for 65%, 70% and 68% of Microcontroller Solutions net sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2008, Microcontroller Solutions net sales declined by $249 million, or 13%, primarily
as a result of production cuts in the U.S. automotive market. We were also affected by reduced demand in the consumer and industrial markets purchased through our distribution channel. Microcontroller Solutions net sales declined by $44 million, or
2%, in 2007 compared to 2006 due primarily to weakness in the U.S. automotive market. In 2007, we experienced growth of 6% in sales to the non-U.S. automotive sector, partially offsetting the decline in the U.S.

Networking and Multimedia

Our networking and multimedia product line, which includes communications and digital signal processors, networked multimedia devices and application processors, represented 22% of our total net sales in 2008 and 19%
of our total net sales in 2007 and 2006. Our primary end markets for our networking and multimedia products are the wireless, wireline infrastructure, enterprise, SOHO and home networking, and mobile consumer markets. Networking and Multimedia net
sales increased by $40 million, or 4%, in 2008 compared to the prior year. This increase was due to the inclusion of revenue related to the acquisition of SigmaTel, Inc. (SigmaTel) on April 30, 2008, as well as increased demand for
set-top box products and communication processors, partially offset by declines in legacy revenues. SigmaTel was a fabless semiconductor company which designed, developed and marketed mixed-signal ICs for the consumer electronics market. Excluding
SigmaTel, our Networking and Multimedia product line revenue was relatively unchanged compared with the prior year, as increased demand for set-top box products and communication processors were partially offset by declines in DSP product revenues.
Networking and Multimedia net sales declined by $66 million, or 6%, in 2007 compared to 2006. Lower net sales were attributable primarily to overall industry weakeness in the wireless and wireline infrastructure markets.

Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensors

Our Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensors product line, which includes radio frequency devices, analog devices and sensors, represented 20%, 18% and 16% of our total net sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

year as a result of lower demand for both analog and sensor product from weakening U.S. automotive vehicle production, partially offset by stronger sales in both the analog consumer and the wireless infrastructure markets. Radio Frequency, Analog
and Sensors net sales increased modestly by 2% in 2007 compared to 2006, due primarily to an 18% increase in sensor product sales. This offset a 5% decrease in radio frequency device sales, while our analog sales in 2007 were consistent with the
prior year.

Cellular Products

As discussed above in Trends in Our Business, we have announced that we are exploring strategic options for our cellular handset business. Cellular Products, which includes baseband processors and power
management integrated circuits, represented 20%, 22% and 23% of our total net sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our primary target segment is the cellular communications device (cellular handset) market, with over 90% of Cellular Products
sales attributable to Motorola in 2008, 2007 and 2006. Cellular Products net sales declined by $154 million, or 13%, in 2008 compared to 2007, and by $262 million, or 18%, in 2007 compared to 2006, due primarily to weaker demand from Motorola.

In January 2008, we entered into an amended and extended arrangement with Motorola whereby we received cash proceeds,
provided certain pricing modifications and relieved Motorola of certain obligations (Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement). We deferred revenue related to the cash proceeds received, which was being recognized over the updated term of the
arrangement beginning in the first quarter of 2008. During the third quarter of 2008, we updated our agreement with Motorola whereby Motorola agreed to provide certain consideration in exchange for eliminating their remaining minimum purchase
commitments (Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement). Because of this, our cellular handset revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008 decreased 82% versus the fourth quarter of 2007. See Trends in Our Business and
Reorganization of Businesses, Contract Settlement, and Other for further discussion.

Other

We consider the following to be classified as other sales (Other): sales to other semiconductor companies, intellectual
property revenues, product revenues associated with end markets outside of our product design group target markets, and revenues from sources other than semiconductors. Other represented 7%, 8% and 12% of our total net sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Demand for our Other products is driven primarily by capacity requirements of other semiconductor companies and the ability to license our intellectual property; both of these revenue streams are susceptible to timing and volume
fluctuations. Other net sales declined by $117 million, or 26%, in 2008 compared to the prior year primarily as a result of a 60% decrease in intellectual property revenue and 20% decrease in sales to other semiconductor companies compared to 2007.
The $286 million decrease in Other net sales in 2007 compared to 2006 was due primarily to a 36% decrease in product sales to other semiconductor companies and a 43% decrease in intellectual property revenue. We also experienced a $23 million
decrease in revenues from sources other than semiconductors in 2007 versus the prior year.

Gross Margin

In 2008, our gross margin increased $171 million compared to the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 39.6%, reflecting an
improvement of 6.4 percentage points. This increase was attributable to a $416 million purchase accounting charge to cost of sales in the first quarter of 2007 resulting from the step-up to fair value of our inventory at the Merger date. Our gross
margin also benefited from lower costs associated with our foundry and assembly and test operations and our exit from the Crolles alliance in the fourth quarter of 2007. Partially offsetting these items was a decrease in factory utilization and a $7
million increase in cost of sales resulting from the step-up to fair value of our inventory in connection with the SigmaTel acquisition.

Selling,
General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $20 million, or 3%, in 2008 compared to 2007.
This increase was primarily the result of an increase in strategic sales support costs and legal expenses required in connection with defending various patent infringement claims. These items were partially offset by focused cost-cutting
initiatives, including reorganization programs initiated in the second quarter of 2008 and the prior year. As a percent of our net sales, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1.5 percentage points primarily due to lower net
sales.

Research and Development

Our research and development expense for 2008 remained consistent with 2007. Increased spending in specific strategic growth product areas including consumer devices in connection with the
SigmaTel acquisition were offset by savings from our withdrawal from the research and manufacturing alliance in Crolles, France in the fourth quarter of 2007, savings from the restructuring of our participation in the IBM alliance, a jointly-funded
research alliance created to develop 300-millimeter technologies in the third quarter of 2008 and those actions initiated in the second quarter 2008 and the prior year. As a percent of our net sales, our research and development expenses increased
1.9 percentage points due to lower net sales.

Amortization Expense for Acquired Intangible Assets

Amortization expense for acquired intangible assets related to developed technology, tradenames, trademarks and customer relationships
decreased by $268 million compared to 2007. The decrease was the result of a lower asset base following non-cash impairment charges recorded against these assets in the fourth quarter of 2007 and the third quarter of 2008.

Reorganization of Businesses, Contract Settlement, and Other

We recorded a benefit of $296 million in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other in connection with the Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement, which included the recognition of $187 million of previously deferred
revenue recorded under the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement. This benefit was partially offset by a $38 million charge for future foundry deliveries and contract termination fees associated with the cancellation of certain third-party manufacturing
agreements. This charge resulted from the execution of the Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement.

We recorded exit costs of $43 million in
reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other related to a strategic decision to terminate our participation in the IBM alliance, a jointly-funded research alliance created to develop 300-millimeter technologies. In addition to these
exit costs, we recorded $88 million of non-cash impairment charges in 2008 related to (i) idle property, plant and equipment assets, (ii) certain research and development assets, (iii) our manufacturing facility located in Tempe,
Arizona and (iv) certain other assets classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2008.

In connection with our plans to
consolidate manufacturing and administrative operations in order to streamline our global organization and reduce costs, we accrued $142 million in employee severance costs associated with these actions in 2008. We also incurred an additional $9
million in other exit costs related to these actions. We expect these severance initiatives to generate approximately $300 million in annualized net cost savings by the end of the fourth quarter of 2009.

As a result of a change in executive leadership in 2008, we recorded in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other a $17 million
non-cash charge for equity compensation expense as a result of the accelerated vesting of Class B Interests in connection with the execution of a separation agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer. We also recognized $8 million in
severance costs related to this separation and $1 million in compensation related to the hiring of our current Chief Executive Officer. We also recorded $12 million in charges related to severance payments and accelerated compensation expense
related to the turnover we experienced in a number of our senior management positions.

Finally, we finalized a grant related to our former
research and manufacturing alliance in Crolles, France. We recognized a benefit of $9 million for the grant in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other related to the portion of the grant for assets sold during 2008.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In
connection with the termination of the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement, the significant decline in the market capitalization of the public companies in our peer group as of December 31, 2008, our intent to pursue strategic alternatives for our
cellular handset product group and the impact from weakening global market conditions in our remaining businesses, we concluded that indicators of impairment existed related to our goodwill and intangible assets. These goodwill and intangible assets
were primarily established in purchase accounting at the completion of the Merger in December 2006. We recorded impairment charges of $5.4 billion and $1.6 billion associated with goodwill and intangible assets, respectively.

Merger Expenses

Merger expenses were $11 million in
2008 and consist primarily of retention costs associated with the SigmaTel acquisition and accounting, legal and other professional fees.

Other
Expense, Net

Other expense, net decreased $126 million in 2008 compared to 2007. Net interest expense
in 2008 included interest expense of $659 million partially offset by interest income of $36 million. Net interest expense in 2007 included interest expense of $834 million partially offset by interest income of $50 million. The $175 million
decrease in interest expense over the prior year period was due to (i) savings related to a $177 million reduction in outstanding debt during 2008, partially offset by an increase in our revolving credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2008;
(ii) lower interest rates on outstanding floating rate debt; and (iii) an $83 million pre-tax gain, net related to the repurchase of $89 million of our outstanding fixed rate notes due 2016 with an aggregate principal amount of $1,600
million (Senior Subordinated Notes), $63 million of our outstanding 8.875% notes due 2014 with an aggregate principal amount of $2,350 million (Fixed Rate Notes), and $25 million of our outstanding floating rate notes due
2014 with an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (Floating Rate Notes) in 2008. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources for further discussion.) The $14 million decrease in interest income over the prior year was
primarily attributable to lower investment interest rates, partially offset by an approximate $600 million increase in funds available for investment as a result of proceeds associated with the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement and asset dispositions
related to our exit from the Crolles alliance in 2008.

In addition to the decrease in interest expense, net, we recognized a $38 million
pre-tax loss in other expense related to the cumulative ineffective portion and subsequent change in fair value of our interest rate swaps that are no longer classified as a cash flow hedge. This loss was partially offset by a $12 million pre-tax
gain that was recorded in other income related to the sale of one of our investments in 2008.

Income Tax Benefit

In 2008, our effective tax rate was a tax benefit of 6%. Our effective tax rate is less than the statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to nondeductible nature of goodwill impairments and valuation allowances of $560
million being recorded against net domestic deferred tax assets. The recognition of the valuation allowance resulted from having incurred cumulative losses in the U.S., which is a strong indication that it is more likely than not that all or a
portion of our deferred tax assets may not be recoverable. The effective rate also includes the tax impact recorded for discrete events of $22 million related to increases in valuation allowances associated with certain of our foreign deferred tax
assets, foreign tax rate changes, tax audits settlements, and interest expense associated with tax reserves.

In 2007, our effective tax
rate was 35%, including the tax impact recorded for discrete events which had no net material impact on our effective tax rate. The discrete events relate primarily to tax rate changes in foreign jurisdictions and changes in the valuation allowance
associated with the deferred tax assets of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. During 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48). The adoption resulted in a $5 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as an increase to goodwill as of January 1, 2007.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Consolidated Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006 Combined

Net Sales

Our net sales and orders of approximately
$5.7 billion and $5.4 billion in 2007 decreased 10% and 16%, respectively, compared to 2006. Lower net sales were driven primarily by an overall 18% decrease in cellular product sales due primarily to lower sales to Motorola. We also experienced
lower intellectual property revenue during 2007, which decreased to approximately 2% of net sales, compared to 4% in 2006. Distribution revenue was consistent with the prior year, and distribution inventory was 11.8 weeks of sales at
December 31, 2007 compared to 11.3 weeks of sales at December 31, 2006.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin in 2007 decreased $833 million, or 30%, compared to 2006, and, as a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 33.2%, reflecting a decline
of 9.8 percentage points. Purchase accounting arising from the Merger negatively affected gross margin in 2007 through a $416 million increase to cost of sales resulting from the step-up to fair value of our inventory at the Merger date, and a $169
million increase in depreciation and amortization expense arising from the step-up in property, plant and equipment and other assets to fair value. Our gross margin was further negatively impacted by a decrease in our utilization rate and lower net
sales and intellectual property revenue. Partially offsetting these effects, our gross margin benefited from enhanced operating efficiencies resulting in higher yield, lower costs associated with direct materials, and a decrease in incentive
compensation expense. We also initiated a reorganization of business program late in the second quarter of 2007, which we expected to generate approximately $20 million in annualized net cost savings in cost of sales.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased $76 million, or 10%, in 2007, compared to 2006. This decrease was primarily the result of operating efficiencies, lower incentive compensation expense and focused cost-cutting initiatives, including a
reorganization of business program initiated late in the second quarter of 2007. We expected to generate approximately $18 million in annualized net cost savings in selling, general and administrative expense from the reorganization of business
program. As a percent of our net sales, our selling, general and administrative expenses remained consistent primarily due to lower net sales.

Research
and Development

Our research and development expense in 2007 decreased $65 million, or 5%, compared to 2006. This decrease was due
primarily to lower incentive compensation, partially offset by engineering personnel increases in certain focused product markets. We also initiated a reorganization of business program late in the second quarter of 2007. We expected to generate
approximately $21 million in annualized net cost savings in research and development expense from the reorganization of business program. As a percent of our net sales, our research and development expenses increased 1.0 percentage points primarily
due to lower net sales.

Amortization Expense for Acquired Intangible Assets

We recorded approximately $5.8 billion in intangible assets for developed technology, tradenames, trademarks and customer relationships in connection with
the Merger. In 2007, $1.3 billion in amortization expense related to these intangible assets was recorded and was the driver of the increase in amortization expense for acquired intangible assets over 2006.

In-Process Research and Development

In 2006, we
recorded a charge of $2.3 billion for in-process research and development in connection with the Merger.

Reorganization of Businesses, Contract Settlement, and Other

We announced plans during the second quarter of 2007 to improve our operational efficiencies and reduce costs through a reorganization of business
program. As a result, we recorded net charges of $35 million under reorganization of businesses and other for severance costs. We expected this initiative to generate $55 million to $65 million in annualized net cost savings by the end of the first
quarter of 2008.

In addition to the reorganization of business program, impairment charges of $20 million were included in reorganization
of businesses and other related to our held-for-sale assets at the 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility located in Crolles, France where we ended a strategic development and manufacturing relationship with two other semiconductor manufacturers.
The impairment charge was in connection with management reaching an agreement to sell our related assets. In connection with the conclusion of the research and manufacturing alliance in Crolles, France, we recorded $5 million in exit costs. We also
recorded impairment charges of approximately $4 million on certain assets previously held-for-sale.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we began discussions regarding an existing supply agreement with Motorola. We concluded in connection with these
discussions that indicators of impairment existed related to the developed technology, customer relationship and trademark / tradename intangible assets associated with our wireless business. Upon concluding the net book value related to the assets
referenced above exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such intangible assets, we performed an analysis utilizing discounted future cash flows related to the specific intangible assets to determine the fair value of each of the
respective assets. As a result of this analysis we recorded a $449 million impairment charge related to our wireless intangible assets in 2007.

Merger
Expenses

Merger expenses were $5 million in 2007, consisting primarily of accounting, legal and other professional fees. In 2006, we
incurred $522 million of Merger expenses. Costs associated with the Merger included (i) $93 million related to the redemption of our $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% notes due 2011 (6.875% Notes) and our $500
million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% notes due 2014 (7.125% Notes), (ii) $297 million in stock-based compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of the Predecessor stock options, restricted stock units and stock
appreciation rights awards, (iii) $106 million in accounting, investment banking, legal and other professional fees, and (iv) $26 million in employee compensation and payroll taxes.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net increased $757
million in 2007 compared to 2006. Net interest expense in 2007 included interest expense of $834 million, partially offset by interest income of $50 million. Net interest expense in 2006 included interest expense of $164 million, partially offset by
interest income of $144 million. The $670 million increase in interest expense over the prior year was due to increased debt incurred in conjunction with the Merger. The $94 million decrease in interest income over the prior year was attributable to
decreased funds available for investment after the closing of the Merger.

Income Tax Benefit

Our effective tax rate was 35% in 2007, including the tax impact recorded for discrete events which had no net material impact on our effective tax rate.
The discrete events relate primarily to tax rate changes in foreign jurisdictions and changes in the valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax assets of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. During 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). The adoption resulted in a $5 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was
accounted for as an increase to goodwill as of January 1, 2007.

Our effective tax rate was 35% for the Successor Period in 2006.
Excluded from this effective tax rate is a $2.3 billion IPR&D charge, which has no income tax benefit associated with it, and a discrete event related to legislation enacted in December 2006, resulting in the extension of the research and
development tax credit in the U.S. through December 31, 2007.

The increase in our effective tax rate subsequent to the closing of the
Merger versus prior periods was due primarily to the income tax benefit related to our domestic losses. We incurred domestic losses during 2007 and the Successor Period in 2006 due to (i) the significant increase in amortization expense
associated with intangible assets established in purchase accounting and (ii) the increase in interest expense associated with the debt incurred in connection with the Merger. Previously we recorded income tax expense associated with our
domestic profits against a deferred tax valuation allowance; however, in connection with establishing our deferred taxes in purchase accounting, we no longer are in a net deferred tax asset position domestically. This resulted in no valuation
allowance being required, other than for specific identified domestic tax attributes and certain foreign entities with net deferred tax assets.

Our effective tax rate for the Predecessor Period in 2006 was 15%, excluding non-recurring, discrete events resulting in a $35 million non-cash benefit. Our annual effective tax rate was less
than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to (i) no recorded tax

expense on our domestic earnings due to the utilization of deferred tax assets, which were subject to a full valuation allowance, and (ii) the mix of
earnings and losses by taxing jurisdictions and foreign tax rate differentials. We reduced the valuation allowances associated with two of our foreign subsidiaries during the Predecessor Period. One subsidiary emerged from a three-year cumulative
loss position resulting in a reduced valuation allowance because we believe the subsidiary will more likely than not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets of this subsidiary based on estimates of future taxable income and the evaluation of
other evidence pertaining to realization. We reduced the valuation allowance of another subsidiary because we believe the subsidiary will more likely than not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets of the foreign subsidiary. This change is
primarily due to a revision in the financing of the foreign subsidiary, resulting in increased estimates of the foreign entitys future taxable income. These events resulted in a one-time, non-cash income tax benefit in the Predecessor Period
of $28 million.

Reorganization of Businesses, Contract Settlement, and Other

We have entered into plans to reduce our workforce, discontinue product lines, exit or refocus our business strategies and consolidate manufacturing and
administrative operations in an effort to improve our operational effectiveness, reduce costs or simplify our product portfolio. At each reporting date, we evaluate our accruals for exit costs and employee separation costs, which consist primarily
of termination benefits (principally severance and relocation payments), to ensure that our accruals are still appropriate. In certain circumstances, accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out our plans or because
employees previously identified for separation resigned unexpectedly and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. We reverse accruals to income when it is determined they
are no longer required.

Year Ended December 31, 2008

Motorola Arrangements and Cellular Strategy

On October 2, 2008, we announced plans to sharpen the
Companys strategic focus on growth markets and our key market leadership positions. In support of this targeted approach, we are evaluating strategic options for our cellular handset product group. In September 2008, we updated our arrangement
with Motorola, our largest cellular product customer. We had previously entered into the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement whereby we received cash proceeds, provided certain pricing modifications and relieved Motorola of certain obligations. We deferred
revenue related to the cash proceeds received, which was being recognized over the term of the arrangement beginning in the first quarter of 2008. In the third quarter of 2008, the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement was terminated and we entered into an
updated arrangement.

In the Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement, Motorola agreed to provide certain consideration in exchange for
eliminating its remaining minimum purchase commitments. We recorded a benefit of $296 million in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other in connection with the Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement, which included the
recognition of all remaining previously deferred revenue recorded under the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement. As a result of these updated arrangements, we experienced a significant reduction in our cellular handset revenues and our total operating
earnings in the fourth quarter of 2008.

This benefit from the Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement was partially offset by a $38 million
charge for future foundry deliveries and contract termination fees associated with the cancellation of certain third-party manufacturing agreements. This charge resulted from the execution of the Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement. As of
December 31, 2008, $19 million of this charge has been paid.

Asset Impairment Charges

During 2008, we recorded $88 million of non-cash impairment charges, including a $59 million charge related to certain idle property, plant and equipment
assets included in all of our manufacturing facilities, an $18 million charge related to certain research and development assets, a $7 million non-cash impairment charge related to our manufacturing facility located in Tempe, Arizona, which was
classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2008, and a $4 million charge related to certain other assets classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2008.

Chief Executive Leadership Transition

During 2008, $26 million was recorded in reorganization
of businesses, contract settlement, and other related to the change in executive leadership. Of this amount, $17 million was a non-cash charge for equity compensation expense as a result of the accelerated vesting of certain Class B Interests in
connection with the execution of a separation agreement with Michel Mayer, our former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. We also recorded an additional $8 million in severance costs related to Mr. Mayers separation and $1
million in compensation related to the hiring of Richard Beyer, our current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. We also recorded $12 million in charges related to severance payments and accelerated compensation expense related to the
turnover we experienced in a number of our senior management positions.

Fourth Quarter 2008 Reorganization of Business Program

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced that we intend to renew our focus on key market leadership positions. In connection with this announcement
and given general market conditions, we have initiated a series of restructuring actions in the fourth quarter of 2008 to streamline our cost structure and re-direct some research and development investments into growth markets. These actions will
reduce headcount in our supply chain, technology, marketing and general and administrative functions. The following table displays a roll-forward from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 of the employee separation accruals and exit and
other costs established related to the fourth quarter 2008 reorganization:

In 2008, we separated 500 employees. We will make payments to these separated employees and the
remaining 1,600 employees through the third quarter of 2009.

Third Quarter 2008 Reorganization of Business Program

During the third quarter of 2008, we announced plans to restructure our participation in the IBM alliance, (a jointly-funded research alliance),
discontinue manufacturing operations at our East Kilbride, Scotland facility by May 2009 and to consolidate logistical and certain administrative operations. These actions enable us to streamline our global organization and reduce costs. The
following table displays a roll-forward from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 of the employee separation accruals and exit and other costs established related to the third quarter 2008 reorganization:

In 2008, we separated 10 employees. We will make cash payments to these separated employees and
the remaining 940 employees through the third quarter of 2009.

In addition to these severance costs, we recorded exit and other costs of
$43 million in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement and other in the third quarter of 2008 related to a strategic decision to restructure our participation in the IBM alliance, a jointly-funded research alliance among several
semiconductor manufacturers which was formed to develop 300-millimeter technologies. This cash charge represents a one-time fee to terminate future rights and obligations under the jointly-funded research alliance. As of December 31, 2008, $17
million of this charge has been settled, and we expect to pay the remaining amount by the second quarter of 2009.

Second Quarter 2008 Reorganization of Business Program

During the second quarter of 2008, we initiated plans to consolidate supply chain and administrative operations in order to streamline our global
organization and reduce costs. We accrued $21 million in severance costs associated with these actions in the second quarter of 2008. The following table displays a roll-forward from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 of the employee
separation accruals established related to the second quarter 2008 reorganization:

During 2008, we separated 400 employees. The $14 million used reflects cash payments made to these
separated employees through December 31, 2008. We will make additional payments to these separated employees and the remaining 80 employees through the first quarter of 2009. In addition to these employee separation costs, we also recorded $9
million in exit and other costs related primarily to these actions in 2008, respectively. During 2008, we made cash payments of $6 million related to these exit costs and expect to conclude such payments in the first quarter of 2009.

Crolles Manufacturing and Research Alliance

During
the first nine months of 2008, we finalized a grant related to our former research and manufacturing alliance in Crolles, France. We recorded a benefit of $9 million for the grant in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other
related to the portion of the grant for assets sold during the first nine months of 2008. We also recorded a benefit of $5 million to research and development expense in connection with the receipt of this grant.

Second Quarter 2007 Reorganization of Business Program

During 2008, we separated 70 employees. The $10 million used reflects cash payments made to these
separated employees through December 31, 2008. We will make additional payments to these separated employees through the end of the first quarter of 2009. We reversed $2 million of the remaining accrual due to approximately 30 employees
previously identified for separation who resigned and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved.

Year Ended December 31, 2007

Asset Impairment Charges and Exit Costs

During the year ended December 31, 2007, impairment charges of $20 million were included in reorganization of businesses and other related to our
held-for-sale assets at the 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility located in Crolles, France where we ended a strategic development and manufacturing relationship with two other semiconductor manufacturers. The impairment charge was incurred due
to reaching an agreement to sell our related assets. In connection with the conclusion of the research and manufacturing alliance in Crolles, France, we also recorded $5 million in exit costs. We also had impairment charges of approximately $4
million on certain assets previously held-for-sale included in reorganization of businesses and other.

During 2007, 580 employees were separated from the Company. The $21 million used reflects initial
cash payments made to these separated employees through December 31, 2007. This program will be concluded and the final payments made to the separated employees by the end of the first quarter of 2009.

Year Ended December 31, 2006

2005 Initiated
Reorganization of Business Program

In the third quarter of 2005, we initiated plans to reorganize certain of our operations in
response to a customers decision to discontinue utilizing certain products provided by us. The reorganization resulted in an employee separation program and the impairment of certain equipment.

The following table displays a roll-forward from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 of the accruals established related to the 2005 employee
separation program discussed above.

As of the end of the third quarter of 2006, we paid $9 million in employee separation costs. The
remaining $5 million accrual was reversed due to approximately 80 employees previously identified for separation who resigned unexpectedly and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans
were approved.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Of the $1,394 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at
December 31, 2008, $444 million was held by our U.S. subsidiaries and $950 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Repatriation of some of these funds could be subject to delay and could have potential tax consequences, principally with
respect to withholding taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions.

Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we generated cash flow from operations of $405 million and $426 million, respectively. Our days
sales outstanding increased to 38 days at December 31, 2008 from 33 days at December 31, 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in payment terms in connection with consolidations of companies supplying the automotive industry. Our days
of inventory on hand (excluding the impact of purchase accounting on inventory and cost of sales) increased to 93 days at December 31,

##### Table of Contents

2008 from 87 days at December 31, 2007 primarily due to lower sales volumes in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the prior year. Days purchases
outstanding decreased to 36 days at December 31, 2008 from 40 days at December 31, 2007 primarily due to fluctuations in the timing of payments at December 31, 2008.

Investing Activities

Our net cash used for investing activities was $59 million and $366
million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our investing activities are driven by investment of our excess cash, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and investments in other companies and sales of investments and businesses. The decrease in
the cash used in our investing activities in 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily the result of receiving proceeds from the sale of our property, plant and equipment located at the 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility located in Crolles, France,
where we ended a strategic development and manufacturing relationship with two other semiconductor manufacturers in the fourth quarter of 2007, as well as an $88 million decline in capital expenditures. This was offset by acquisition and strategic
investment purchases of $121 million, including the utilization of $94 million of cash in connection with the acquisition of SigmaTel in the second quarter of 2008.

Our capital expenditures were $239 million and $327 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our capital expenditures as a percentage of net sales were 5% and 6% in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

We utilized $64 million and $78 million for purchases of licenses and software utilized in our research and development efforts and tool and die utilized
in our manufacturing processes in 2008 and 2007, respectively. This was partially offset by cash proceeds from the disposition of investments and businesses of $26 million and $32 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to the sale of one of
our strategic investments and SigmaTels printing business in 2008 and for the sale of our power amplifier product group in 2007.

Financing
Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $342 million in 2008, and our net cash used for financing activities
was $47 million in 2007. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is attributable to a $460 million draw down on the Revolver (as described below), as well as a $37 million draw down on a Japanese yen-denominated revolving loan
agreement by one of our foreign subsidiaries. These initiatives were taken to further enhance our liquidity and cash position. This increase in available funds was offset primarily by the utilization of $94 million to repurchase a portion of our
outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes, Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes, and $56 million to make additional contractual long-term debt and capital lease payments. In 2007, our net cash used for financing activities was resulted primarily
from contractual long-term debt and capital lease payments.

During 2008, we repurchased $63 million of our outstanding Fixed Rate Notes,
$89 million of our Senior Subordinated Notes and $25 million of our Floating Rate Notes. We used funds from our short-term investment portfolio for the purchase and early retirement of these notes at an $83 million discount. The redemption price
included accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. We also incurred $4 million in non-cash charges associated with the recognition of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the early retirement of this debt.

On October 5, 2008, Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (LCPI) filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. LCPI is a counterparty to our revolving credit facility with a committed capacity of $750 million (Revolver). LCPI provides a commitment in the amount of $60
million of our Revolver; therefore, we do not expect that future borrowing requests will be honored by LCPI.

During the fourth quarter of
2008, we drew down $460 million, net of LCPI non-funding, from the Revolver. We made this financial decision to further enhance our liquidity and cash position. This improves our financial flexibility as we continue to execute our business plans.

At December 31, 2008, FSL, Inc., Holdings III, IV and V had a senior secured credit facility (Credit Facility) that
included (i) a $3.5 billion term loan, including letters of credit and swing line loan sub-facilities (Term Loan), and (ii) the Revolver, which had a committed capacity of $207 million, excluding the LCPI commitment, $23
million in outstanding letters of credit and the $460 million draw down taken in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Term Loan will mature on December 1, 2013. The Revolver will be available through December 1, 2012, at which time all
outstanding principal amounts under the Revolver will be due and payable. FSL, Inc. may, subject to customary conditions, request an increase in the amount available under the Credit Facility of up to an additional $1 billion for a total
commitment of up to $5.19 billion. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital purposes, capital expenditures, investments, share repurchases, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. At December 31,
2008, $3,430 million and $460 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and Revolver, respectively. On January 21, 2009, FSL, Inc. drew down an additional $184 million under the Revolver, leaving a remaining committed borrowing capacity of
$23 million, net of $23 million of outstanding letters of credit and LCPI non-funding.

The Term Loan and
Revolver bear interest, at the Borrowers option, at a rate equal to a margin over either (i) a base rate equal to the higher of either (a) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. or (b) the federal funds rate, plus one-half of 1%; or,
(ii) a LIBOR rate based on the cost of funds for deposit in the currency of borrowing for the relevant interest period, adjusted for certain additional costs. The

interest rate on the Term Loan and the Revolver at December 31, 2008 was 3.93% and 2.46%, respectively. On February 14, 2007, FSL, Inc. entered
into an amendment to the Term Loan, lowering the spread over LIBOR from 2.00% to 1.75%. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolver may be reduced subject to the attainment of certain leverage ratios. FSL, Inc. is also required to repay
a portion of the outstanding Term Loan balance in quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the initial outstanding balance for the first six years and nine months after the Term Loan closing date, with the remaining balance
due upon maturity. FSL, Inc. is also required to pay quarterly facility commitment fees on the unutilized capacity of the Revolver at a rate of 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage
ratios. FSL, Inc. is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees. The Credit Facility requires additional payments from proceeds received upon certain asset dispositions, excess cash flows and the incurrence or issuance of certain
debt, as defined in the debt agreements. (See Note 4 to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further discussion.) Based on our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2008, we will be required
to make a mandatory prepayment based on excess cash flows of approximately $24 million in February 2009. This amount is classified as a current liability in the accompanying audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008.

FSL, Inc. had an aggregate principal amount of $5,779 million in senior notes outstanding at December 31, 2008, consisting of (i) $475 million
of floating rate notes maturing in 2014 and bearing interest at a rate, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR (which was 2.99% on December 31, 2008) plus 3.875% per annum (Floating Rate Notes), (ii) $1,506 million of
9.125% / 9.875% PIK-election notes maturing in 2014 (Toggle Notes), (iii) $2,287 million of 8.875% notes maturing in 2014 (Fixed Rate Notes), and (iv) $1,511 million of 10.125% senior subordinated notes maturing in
2016 (Senior Subordinated Notes). Relative to our overall indebtedness, the Floating Rate Notes, Toggle Notes and Fixed Rate Notes (together, the Senior Notes, and including the Senior Subordinated Notes, the
Notes), rank in right of payment (i) equal to all senior unsecured indebtedness (ii) senior to all subordinated indebtedness (including the Senior Subordinated Notes), and (iii) junior to all secured indebtedness
(including the Credit Facility), to the extent assets secure that indebtedness. The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and rank junior in right of payment to our senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under
the Credit Facility and Senior Notes.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, FSL, Inc. elected to use the payment-in-kind (PIK)
feature of their outstanding Toggle Notes in lieu of making cash interest payments (PIK Interest) for the interest period ending on June 15, 2009 as a prudent method to enhance liquidity in light of the dislocation in the current
financial markets and the uncertainty as to when reasonable conditions will return. In connection with this election, on December 4, 2008, FSL, Inc. delivered notice to The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), in its
capacity as trustee under the Indenture governing the Toggle Notes, that, with respect to the interest that will be due on such notes on the June 15, 2009 interest payment date, they will make such interest payment by paying in kind at the PIK
interest rate of 9.125% instead of paying interest in cash. After the June 15, 2009 payment date, interest will accrue on the PIK portion of the Toggle Notes at a PIK interest rate of 9.875%. As of December 31, 2008, $6 million of accrued
PIK Interest associated with the Toggle Notes was properly classified as long-term debt. (See Note 4 to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further discussion.)

In 2006 and 2007, in connection with the issuance of the Term Loan and Floating Rate Notes, FSL, Inc. also entered into interest rate swap contracts with
various counterparties as a hedge of the variable cash flows of $900 million of our variable interest rate debt; however, on October 23, 2008, in connection with LCPI filing for bankruptcy, we terminated our interest rate swap agreement with
LCPI. This interest rate swap had a notional amount of $400 million. As of December 31, 2008, we have effectively fixed our interest rate on $500 million of our variable rate debt through December 1, 2009.

In December 2007, we elected to switch from 3-month to 1-month LIBOR on our Term Loan in order to realize interest payment savings due to decreasing
interest rates. As a result of making this election, interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $900 million were no longer designated as cash flow hedges. The Company reclassified a loss on these interest rate swaps of $17 million, net of
tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in 2008. The unrealized loss represents the cumulative ineffective portion and change in fair value from the date of de-designation. The remaining effective portion of the interest rate
swaps at December 31, 2008 is $6 million, net of tax, and continues to be included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

In
addition, during 2008, FSL, Inc. entered into two additional interest rate swap agreements each with notional amounts of $100 million. Both of these swaps are effective from December 1, 2009 through December 1, 2012. Neither swap is
designated as a cash flow hedge as defined in SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). In December 2008, we elected to switch back to 3-month LIBOR on the Term
Loan; however, we elected not to re-designate the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133.

As of December 31,
2008 and 2007, our corporate credit ratings from Standard & Poors and Moodys were B+ and B1, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, our Fitch rating was B and B+, respectively. In January 2009, Standard &
Poors, Moodys and Fitch downgraded our corporate credit ratings to B-, Caa1 and CCC, respectively.

The Credit Facility and Notes have restrictive covenants that limit our subsidiaries ability to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock;
pay dividends and make other restricted payments; incur restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions from our restricted subsidiaries; create or incur certain liens; make certain investments; transfer or sell assets; engage in
transactions with affiliates; and, merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. Under the Credit Facility, our subsidiaries must comply with conditions precedent that must be satisfied

prior to any borrowing, as well as ongoing compliance with specified affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants relating to maintenance of
specified financial ratios. The Credit Facility and Notes also provide for customary events of default, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants and cross-faults or cross-escalation provisions.
The Borrowers were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2008.

As discussed in Trends in Our Business,
the 2009 global economic outlook will continue to adversely impact our business and result in lower operating profitability. The maintenance of certain of our financial ratios is based on our level of profitability. These lower levels of
profitability will cause our financial ratios to fall outside of the prescribed ranges set forth in the Credit Facility, which will impose certain of the restrictions as discussed in the preceding paragraph.

EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted earnings
before cumulative effect of accounting change, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that we use to determine our compliance with certain covenants contained in the Credit Facility
and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to add back certain non-cash, non-recurring and other items that are included in EBITDA and/or net earnings (loss), as
required by various covenants in the indentures and the Credit Facility. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with our financing covenants. Our
ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net earnings (loss), operating earnings (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by U.S. GAAP and does not
necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. While Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements by other companies, our use of
Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the indentures and the Credit Facility allows us to add back certain charges that are deducted in
calculating EBITDA and/or net earnings (loss). However, some of these expenses may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. Further, our debt instruments require that Adjusted EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters.
As a result, the measure can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter. Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.

The following is a reconciliation of net loss, which is a U.S. GAAP measure of our operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our debt
agreements.

Contractual Obligations and Credit Facilities

We own most of our major facilities, but we do lease certain office, factory and warehouse space and land, as well as data processing and other equipment
under principally non-cancelable operating leases.

Summarized in the table below are our obligations and commitments to make future
payments under debt obligations and minimum lease payment obligations, net of minimum sublease income, as of December 31, 2008.

Future Financing Activities

As indicated in
Trends in Our Business, we expect to experience continued pressure on our revenues in 2009 associated with the macroeconomic weakness. Our primary future cash needs on a recurring basis will be for working capital, capital expenditures
and debt service obligations. In addition, we expect to spend $200 million during 2009 in connection with the restructuring actions implemented in the third and fourth quarters of 2008. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments balance as of December 31, 2008 of approximately $1,394 million and cash flows from operations and asset dispositions will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, restructuring plan and other business
requirements for at least the next 12 months. We also supplemented our liquidity by drawing down $184 million under our Revolver on January 21, 2009. Our ability to borrow under this Revolver is limited to $23 million after taking into account
all draws through the end of January 2009.

If our cash flows from operations are less than we expect or we require funds to consummate
acquisitions of other businesses, assets, products or technologies, we may need to incur additional debt, sell or monetize certain existing assets or utilize our cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments. We incurred significant
indebtedness and utilized significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities in order to complete the Merger. In the event additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that future funding
will be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

As market conditions warrant, the Company and its major equity holders may from time
to time repurchase debt securities issued by us, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. During 2008, we repurchased $63 million of our outstanding Fixed Rate Notes, $89 million of our Senior Subordinated
Notes and $25 million of our Floating Rate Notes. We used funds from our short-term investment portfolio for the purchases and early retirement of debt at an $83 million discount.

Our debt agreements require additional payments from proceeds received upon certain asset dispositions, excess cash flows and the incurrence or
issuance of certain debt, as defined in the debt agreements. (See Note 4 to the accompanying audited financial statements for further discussion.) Based on our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2008, we will be
required to make a mandatory prepayment based on excess cash flows of approximately $24 million in February 2009.

##### Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2008, we elected to use the PIK feature of our outstanding Toggle Notes
in lieu of making cash interest payments for the interest period ending on June 15, 2009. We will evaluate this option prior to the beginning of each eligible interest period, taking into account market conditions and other relevant
factors at that time. In connection with this election, we will make the interest payment due on the Toggle Notes on June 15, 2009 by paying in kind at the PIK interest rate of 9.125% instead of paying interest in cash. After the
June 15, 2009 payment date, interest will accrue on the PIK portion of the Toggle Notes at a rate of 9.875%.

As discussed in
Trends in Our Business, the 2009 global economic outlook will continue to adversely impact our business and result in lower operating profitability. The maintenance of certain of our financial ratios is based on our level of
profitability. These lower levels of profitability will cause our financial ratios to fall outside of the prescribed ranges set forth in the Credit Facility, which will impose certain of the restrictions as discussed in Financing
Activities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We use customary off-balance sheet arrangements, such as operating leases and letters of credit, to finance our business. None of these arrangements has or is likely to have a material effect on our results of
operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Our management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, current economic and industry conditions and on various other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. Our management believes the following accounting policies to be those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment:



| |  |  | valuation of long-lived assets;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | restructuring activities;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | accounting for income taxes;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | inventory valuation methodology;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | product sales and intellectual property revenue recognition and valuation; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | purchase accounting.
| | - |  | --------------------

If actual
results differ significantly from managements estimates and projections, there could be a material negative impact on our financial statements.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

We assess the impairment of investments and long-lived assets, which include
goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment (PP&E), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Changes in the underlying business could
adversely affect the fair value of the enterprise and intangible asset and PP&E asset groups. Important factors which could require an impairment review include: (i) underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future
operating results; (ii) changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for our overall business; (iii) negative industry or economic trends; (iv) declines in stock price of an investment for a sustained period; (v) a
decline in the valuation of semiconductor stocks; and (vi) our enterprise fair value relative to net book value.

Our impairment
evaluation of identifiable intangible assets and PP&E includes an analysis of estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets over their remaining estimated useful lives. If the estimated future undiscounted
net cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets over the remaining estimated useful lives, we record an impairment loss in the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value. We determine fair
value based on either market quotes, if available, or discounted cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model for the specific asset being valued. Major factors that influence our cash flow
analysis are our estimates for future revenue and expenses associated with the use of the asset. Different estimates could have a significant impact on the results of our evaluation. If, as a result of our analysis, we determine that our amortizable
intangible assets or other long-lived assets have been impaired, we will recognize an impairment loss in the period in which the impairment is determined. Any such impairment charge could be significant and could have a material negative effect on
our results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

Our impairment evaluation of goodwill is based on comparing the fair value to the carrying value of our
enterprise. The enterprise fair value is measured using a combination of the income approach, utilizing the discounted cash flow method that incorporates our estimates of future revenues and costs for our business, and the public company comparables
approach, utilizing multiples of profit measures in order to estimate the fair value of the enterprise. The estimates we use in evaluating goodwill are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage our operations. If we fail to
deliver new products, if the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, or if market conditions fail to materialize as anticipated, our revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved and we may incur charges for goodwill impairment, which
could be significant and could have a material negative effect on our results of operations.

During 2008, in connection with the
termination of the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement, the significant decline in the market capitalization of the public companies in our peer group as of December 31, 2008, our intent to pursue strategic alternatives for our cellular handset product
group and the impact from weakening market conditions in our remaining businesses, we concluded that indicators of impairment existed related to goodwill and our intangible assets. We concluded that our enterprise net book value exceeded its fair
value and that the net book value related to certain intangible assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such intangible assets. As a result, for goodwill we performed an allocation of our enterprise fair value to the fair
value of our assets and liabilities to determine the implied fair value of our goodwill as of December 31, 2008. We also performed an analysis utilizing discounted future cash flows related to certain intangible assets to determine the fair
value of each of the respective assets. As a result of these analyses we recorded impairment charges of $5.4 billion and $1.6 billion related to our goodwill and intangible assets, respectively, in 2008.

During 2008, PP&E impairment charges of $88 million were included in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other. These charges were
related to certain idle PP&E, certain research and development assets, our manufacturing facility located in Tempe, Arizona, which was classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2008, and certain other assets classified as held-for-sale
as of December 31, 2008.

If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management,
additional impairment charges may be required. We cannot predict the occurrence of future impairment triggering events nor the impact such events might have on these reported asset values. Such events may include strategic decisions made in response
to the economic conditions relative to product lines, operations and the impact of the economic environment on our customer base.

The net
book values of these tangible and intangible long-lived assets at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Restructuring Activities

We periodically implement plans to reduce our workforce, discontinue product lines, exit or refocus our business strategies and consolidate manufacturing,
research and design center and administrative operations. We initiate these plans in an effort to improve our operational effectiveness, reduce costs or simplify our product portfolio. Exit costs primarily consist of facility closure costs. Employee
separation costs consist primarily of severance payments to terminated employees. At each reporting date, we evaluate our accruals for exit costs and employee separation costs to ensure that the accruals are still appropriate. In certain
circumstances, accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out the plans or because employees previously identified for separation resigned from our company unexpectedly and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to
circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. We reverse accruals to income when it is determined they are no longer required.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets, liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards. The recognition of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the tax
benefits will not be realized. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based on historical income, projected future income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary
differences and the implementation of tax-planning strategies.

Valuation allowances of $560 million have
been recorded on substantially all our domestic deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008, as we have incurred cumulative losses in the United States. We have not recognized tax benefits for these losses

##### Table of Contents

as we are precluded from considering the impact of future forecasted income pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 109 in assessing whether it is more
likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets may be recoverable. The Company computes cumulative losses for these purposes by adjusting pre-tax results (excluding the cumulative effects of accounting method changes and including
discontinued operations and other non-recurring items such as restructuring or impairment charges) for permanent items. At December 31, 2008 valuation allowances of $61 million have been recorded on certain deferred tax assets in
foreign jurisdictions.

We have reserves for taxes, associated interest, and other related costs that may become payable in future years as
a result of audits by tax authorities. Although we believe that the positions taken on previously filed tax returns are fully supported, we nevertheless have established reserves recognizing that various taxing authorities may challenge certain
positions, which may not be fully sustained. The tax reserves are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that affect our potential liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments
by tax authorities, resolution of tax audits, negotiations between tax authorities of different countries concerning our transfer prices, identification of new issues, and issuance of new regulations or new case law.

We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not
accurately anticipate actual outcomes. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit,
including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Whether the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold is met for a tax position is a matter of judgment based on the individual facts and circumstances of that position evaluated in light of all available evidence.

Inventory Valuation Methodology

Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or market.
We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If
actual market conditions are less favorable than those we project, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory impairment charges establish a new cost basis for inventory. In estimating obsolescence, we utilize our backlog
information for the next 13 weeks as well as projecting future demand.

We balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to
ensure competitive delivery performance to our customers with the risk of inventory obsolescence due to rapidly changing technology and customer requirements. We also consider pending cancellation of product lines due to technology changes, long
life cycle products, lifetime buys at the end of supplier production runs, business exits and a shift of production to outsourcing.

In
2008, in connection with the termination of the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement, we recorded a $44 million non-cash reserve charge on cellular product inventory. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by our
management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Product Sales and Intellectual Property Revenue Recognition and Valuation

We generally market our products to a wide variety of end users and a network of distributors. Our policy is to record revenue for product
sales when title transfers, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured, which is generally at the time of shipment. We
record reductions to sales for allowances for collectibility, discounts and price protection, product returns and incentive programs for distributors related to these sales, based on actual historical experience, current market conditions and other
relevant factors at the time the related sale is recognized.

The establishment of reserves for sales discounts and price protection
allowances are dependent on the estimation of a variety of factors, including industry demand and the forecast of future pricing environments. This process is also highly judgmental in evaluating the above-mentioned factors and requires significant
estimates, including forecasted demand, returns and industry pricing assumptions.

In future periods, additional provisions may be
necessary due to (1) a deterioration in the semiconductor pricing environment, (2) reductions in anticipated demand for semiconductor products and/or (3) lack of market acceptance for new products. If these factors result in a
significant adjustment to sales discount and price protection allowances, they could significantly impact our future operating results.

Revenues from licensing our intellectual property have approximated 1%, 2% and 4% of net sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We expect to continue our efforts to monetize the value of
our intellectual property in the future. These licensing agreements also can be linked with other contractual agreements and could represent multiple element arrangements under EITF Issue 00-21, Revenue Arrangements With Multiple
Elements or contain future performance provisions pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition. The process of determining the appropriate revenue recognition in such transactions is highly complex and
requires significant judgments and estimates.

As discussed above, the Merger was completed on December 1, 2006 and was financed by a combination of borrowings under the Credit Facility, the
issuance of the Notes, cash on hand and the equity investment of the Sponsors and management. The purchase price including direct acquisition costs was approximately $17.7 billion. Purchase accounting requires that all assets and liabilities be
recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, including identifiable intangible assets separate from goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships, tradenames and trademarks, developed technology and IPR&D. Goodwill
represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. For the Merger and for other significant acquisitions, we obtain independent appraisals and valuations of the intangible (and certain tangible) assets acquired and certain
assumed obligations as well as equity.

The estimated fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets are based on many
factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, estimates of cost avoidance, the nature of the business acquired, the specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets
and our historical experience and that of the acquired business. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including product demand, market
conditions, regulations affecting the business model of our operations, technological developments, economic conditions and competition. The carrying values and useful lives for amortization of identified intangible assets are reviewed on an ongoing
basis, and any resulting changes in estimates could have a material negative impact on our financial results.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133. It requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair
value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. Accordingly, we will adopt SFAS No. 161 in the first quarter of 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB
No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 requires an entity to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the entity in the consolidated financial statements within the
equity section but separate from the entitys equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated
statement of income; changes in ownership interest be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the
deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, we will adopt SFAS No. 160 in the first quarter of
2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). Under SFAS No. 141(R), an entity is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual
contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. It further requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be
expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. In addition, acquired
in-process research and development is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will change our accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis
beginning in the first quarter of 2009.

|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Foreign Currency Risk

As a multinational company, our transactions are denominated in a variety of currencies. We have a
foreign exchange management process to manage currency risks resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries. We use financial instruments to hedge, and therefore attempt to reduce our overall
exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on cash flows. Our policy prohibits us from speculating in financial instruments for profit on exchange rate price fluctuations, from trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures,
and from entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.

Our
strategy in foreign exchange exposure issues is to offset the gains or losses of the financial instruments against losses or gains on the underlying operational cash flows or investments based on our managements assessment of risk. Almost all
of our non-functional

##### Table of Contents

currency receivables and payables, which are denominated in major currencies that can be traded on open markets, are hedged. We use forward contracts and
options to hedge these currency exposures. In addition, we hedge some firmly committed transactions and expect to hedge some forecasted transactions and investments in foreign subsidiaries in the future. A portion of our exposure is from currencies
that are not traded in liquid markets, such as those in Latin America and Asia, and these are addressed, to the extent reasonably possible, through managing net asset positions, product pricing, and component sourcing.

Effective January 1, 2008, we changed the functional currency for certain foreign operations to the U.S. dollar. Major changes in economic facts and
circumstances supported this change in functional currency. The change in functional currency is applied on a prospective basis. The U.S dollar-translated amounts of nonmonetary assets and liabilities at December 31, 2007 became the historical
accounting basis for those assets and liabilities at January 1, 2008 and for subsequent periods. As a result of this change in functional currency, exchange rate gains and losses are recognized on transactions in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar and included in operations for the period in which the exchange rates changed.

At December 31, 2008, we had net outstanding
foreign exchange contracts not designated as accounting hedges with notional amounts totaling $199 million. The notional amount of our foreign currency hedges decreased as a result of the change in functional currency for certain foreign operations
to the U.S. dollar. The fair value of these forward contracts was a net unrealized gain of $9 million at December 31, 2008. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject us to undue risk due to foreign exchange
movements because gains and losses on these contracts should offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities, and transactions being hedged. The following table shows, in millions of United States dollars, the notional amounts of the most
significant net foreign exchange hedge positions as of December 31, 2008:



|                  |  |                  |    
|----------------- |  | ---------------- | ---
|Buy (Sell)        |  | December 31,2008
|Euro              |  | $                | 100
|Malaysian Ringgit |  | $                | 48 
|Singapore Dollar  |  | $                | 10 
|Japanese Yen      |  | $                | 7  
|Indian Rupee      |  | $                | 6  
|Israeli Shekel    |  | $                | 4  

Foreign exchange financial instruments that are subject to the effects of currency fluctuations,
which may affect reported earnings, include financial instruments and other financial instruments which are not denominated in the functional currency of the legal entity holding the instrument. Derivative financial instruments consist primarily of
forward contracts. Other financial instruments, which are not denominated in the functional currency of the legal entity holding the instrument, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts payable and receivable. The fair
value of the foreign exchange financial instruments would hypothetically decrease by $55 million as of December 31, 2008, if the U.S. dollar were to appreciate against all other currencies by 10% of current levels. This hypothetical amount is
suggestive of the effect on future cash flows under the following conditions: (i) all current payables and receivables that are hedged were not realized, (ii) all hedged commitments and anticipated transactions were not realized or
canceled, and (iii) hedges of these amounts were not canceled or offset. We do not expect that any of these conditions will be realized. We expect that gains and losses on the derivative financial instruments should offset gains and losses on
the assets, liabilities and future transactions being hedged. If the hedged transactions were included in the sensitivity analysis, the hypothetical change in fair value would be immaterial. The foreign exchange financial instruments are held for
purposes other than trading.

Instruments used as fair value hedges and cash flow hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated
with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as either a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in market values of such hedge instruments must be highly correlated with changes in market
values of underlying hedged items both at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.

At December 31, 2008, we
had foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $186 million and fair value amount of a net unrealized loss of $7 million.

Interest Rate Risk

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term
investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, long-term debt, and other financing commitments.

At December 31, 2008 we had interest bearing cash and cash equivalents of $900 million, and the fair value of our short-term investments was $494 million. A 10% change in market rates would have a $3 million impact on interest income
and minimal impact on the fair value of our short-term investments.

At December 31, 2008, we had
total debt of $9.8 billion, including $4.4 billion of variable interest rate debt based on either 1-month or 3-month LIBOR. As of December 31, 2008, we have effectively fixed our interest rate on $500 million of our variable rate debt through
December 1, 2009 and on $200 million from December 1, 2009 through December 1, 2012. The fair value of the interest

##### Table of Contents

rate swap agreements at December 31, 2008 was a $26 million obligation, exclusive of the LCPI swap arrangement. Our remaining variable interest
rate debt is subject to market rate risk, because our interest payments will fluctuate as the underlying interest rates change from market changes. During the period when our interest rate swap agreements are effective, a 10% change in interest
rates would result in a change in interest expense of $8 million per year.

In December 2007, we elected to switch from 3-month LIBOR
to 1-month LIBOR on our Term Loan in order to realize interest payment savings due to decreasing interest rates. As a result of making this election on the Term Loan, these interest rate swaps no longer qualified as cash flow hedges. In the first
quarter of 2007, we also entered into an amendment to Term Loan, lowering the spread over LIBOR from 2.00% to 1.75%. In December 2008, we elected to switch back to 3-month LIBOR on the Term Loan; however, we elected not to re-designate the
interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133.

The fair value of our long-term debt approximated $4.4 billion at
December 31, 2008, which was determined based upon quoted market prices. Since considerable judgment is required in interpreting market information, the fair value of the long-term debt is not necessarily indicative of the amount which could be
realized in a current market exchange. A 10% decrease in market rates would have a $13 million impact on the fair value of our long-term debt and a $1 million impact on the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements.

The fair values of the other financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying or contract values at December 31, 2008.

Counterparty Risk

Outstanding
financial derivative instruments expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. The credit exposure related to these financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a
positive fair value at the reporting date. On a periodic basis, we review the credit ratings of our counterparties and adjust our exposure as deemed appropriate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholder

Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd.:

We have audited
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders
(deficit) equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period from December 2, 2006 through December 31, 2006, and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows of
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Predecessor) for the period from January 1, 2006 through December 1, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period from December 2, 2006 through December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Further, in our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of the Predecessors operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 2006 through December 1, 2006, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, effective December 1, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Predecessor in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the consolidated financial information for the
periods after the acquisition is presented on a different basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.

Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, except as
noted)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (FSL, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware on December 3, 2003 in preparation for the contribution and
transfer by Motorola, Inc. (Motorola) of substantially all of its semiconductor businesses assets and liabilities to FSL, Inc. (the Contribution) and an initial public offering (IPO) of FSL, Inc.
Class A common stock. FSL, Inc. completed the Contribution in the second quarter of 2004 and the IPO on July 21, 2004. Prior to the IPO, FSL, Inc. was a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola. All of the FSL, Inc. Class B shares of common
stock were held by Motorola until Motorola distributed its remaining ownership interest in us by means of a special dividend to its common stockholders (the Distribution) on December 2, 2004 (the Distribution Date).

On December 1, 2006, FSL, Inc. was acquired by a consortium of private equity funds (the Merger). The consortium includes
The Blackstone Group, The Carlyle Group, funds advised by Permira Advisers, LLC, TPG Capital and others (collectively, the Sponsors). The Merger was accomplished through the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on
September 15, 2006 (the Merger Agreement) by and among FSL, Inc., Firestone Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that transferred and assigned all of its assets, liabilities, rights and obligations to Freescale
Holdings L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (Parent), and Freescale Acquisition Corporation (formerly Firestone Acquisition Corporation), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub). Pursuant to the
terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into FSL, Inc., and as a result, FSL, Inc. continues as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent. Parent is an entity controlled by the Sponsors.

At the close of the Merger, FSL, Inc. became a subsidiary of Freescale Semiconductor Holdings V, Inc. (Holdings V),
which is wholly owned by Freescale Semiconductor Holdings IV, Ltd. (Holdings IV), which is wholly owned by Freescale Semiconductor Holdings III, Ltd. (Holdings III), which is wholly owned by Freescale
Semiconductor Holdings II, Ltd. (Holdings II), which is wholly owned by Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd. (Holdings I), substantially all of which is wholly owned by Parent. All six of these
companies were formed for the purpose of facilitating the Merger and are collectively referred to as the Parent Companies. The reporting entity subsequent to the Merger is Holdings I. Holdings I refers to the operations of
Holdings I and its subsidiaries for both the Predecessor and Successor Periods. Holdings I (which may be referred to as the Company, Freescale, we, us or our) means Freescale Semiconductor
Holdings I, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, as the context requires.

Our consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned
subsidiaries and assets and liabilities of the Company. Investments in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in which the Company does
not exercise significant influence are recorded at cost. All material intercompany transactions between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. Amounts pertaining to the non-controlling ownership interests held by third
parties in the operating results and financial position of the Companys majority-owned subsidiaries, are reported as minority interest in other liabilities.

Although FSL, Inc. continues as the same legal entity after the Merger, the audited consolidated financial statements for 2006 are presented for two periods: January 1 through December 1, 2006 (the
Predecessor Period or Predecessor, as context requires) and December 2 through December 31, 2006 (the Successor Period or Successor, as context requires), which relate to the period in 2006
preceding the Merger and the period in 2006 succeeding the Merger, respectively. The audited consolidated financial statements for the Successor Period reflect the acquisition of FSL, Inc. under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141). The results of the Successor are not comparable to the results of the Predecessor due to the difference in the basis of presentation of purchase accounting as
compared to historical cost.

In connection with the Merger, FSL, Inc. incurred significant indebtedness. In addition, the purchase
price paid in connection with the Merger has been allocated to state the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value. The purchase accounting adjustments (i) increased the carrying value of our inventory and property, plant and
equipment, (ii) established intangible assets for our tradenames, customer lists, developed technology, and in-process research and development (IPR&D) (which was expensed in the Successor financial statements), and
(iii) revalued our long-term benefit plan obligations, among other things. Subsequent to the Merger, interest expense and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges have significantly increased.

Risks and Uncertainties:We have experienced continued pressure on revenues associated with the macroeconomic
weakness, particularly in the automotive industry. We expect weaker demand with respect to the automotive industry as well as with other of our end markets to persist which will affect our revenue and profitability into 2009. Given the nature of the
global macroeconomic weakness and its effects on our end markets, we are unable to precisely forecast when or if revenues and profitability will return to previous levels. In addition, the semiconductor industry is consolidating, and nowhere is this
more evident than in the cellular handset market. The cellular handset growth rate has slowed, and the challenge to fund research and development and higher levels of integration is becoming increasingly costly.

##### Table of Contents

On October 2, 2008, we announced plans to sharpen our strategic focus on growth markets and key
market leadership positions. In addition, we announced that we are exploring strategic options for our cellular handset business and intend to complete a sale, joint venture agreement or other transformation in the coming months. We also updated an
arrangement with our customer, Motorola, on September 26, 2008, whereby Motorola agreed to provide certain consideration in exchange for us eliminating their remaining minimum purchase commitments. Our cellular handset product group revenues
decreased 82% in the fourth quarter of 2008 versus the fourth quarter of 2007 and by 13% for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus the prior year.

We have also been significantly impacted by the weakness in the U.S. automotive market in 2008, as light vehicle production by the Big 3 U.S. automakers in 2008 declined approximately 22% versus the prior year. Our
Microcontroller Solutions and Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensor automotive revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 were 36% lower than the fourth quarter of 2007. Automotive revenues were 31% of our total revenues for 2008. We expect these
conditions to persist into 2009 and to adversely affect our revenue and profitability, but we are not able to precisely forecast the level and duration of such weakened demand.

Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue from product sales when title transfers, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the
customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured, which is generally at the time of shipment. Sales with destination point terms, which are primarily related to European customers where these
terms are customary, are recognized upon delivery. Accruals are established, with the related reduction to revenue, for allowances for discounts and product returns based on actual historical exposure at the time the related revenues are recognized.
Revenue is reported net of sales taxes. Revenue for services is recognized ratably over the contract term or as services are being performed. Revenue related to licensing agreements is recognized at the time we have fulfilled our obligations and the
fee received is fixed or determinable or is deferred. Revenues from contracts with multiple elements are recognized as each element is earned based on the relative fair value of each element when there are no undelivered elements that are essential
to the functionality of the delivered elements and when the amount is not contingent upon delivery of the undelivered elements. As a percentage of sales, revenue related to licensing agreements represented 1%, 2%, 4% and 4% for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Successor Period and the Predecessor Period, respectively.

Distributor
Sales: Revenue from sales to distributors of our products is recognized when title transfers, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is
reasonably assured, which is generally at the time of shipment. In response to competitive market conditions, we offer incentive programs common to the semiconductor industry. Accruals for the estimated distributor incentives are established at the
time of the sale, along with a related reduction to revenue, based on the terms of the various incentive programs, historical experience with such programs, prevailing market conditions and current distributor inventory levels. Distributor incentive
accruals are monitored and adjustments, if any, are recognized based on actual experience under these incentive programs.

Product-Related Expenses: Shipping and handling costs associated with product sales are included in cost of sales. Expenditures for advertising are expensed as incurred, and are included in selling, general and administrative
expenses. Provisions for estimated costs related to product warranties are made at the time the related sale is recorded, based on historic trends. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Government Grants: Investment incentives related to government grants are recognized when a legal right to the grant exists and there is
reasonable assurance that both the terms and conditions associated with the grant will be fulfilled and the grant proceeds will be received. Government grants are recorded as a reduction of the cost being reimbursed.

Stock Compensation Costs: Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payments (SFAS No. 123(R)). We have elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123(R) and, accordingly, prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS
No. 123(R). Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized for the Predecessor Period and the Successor Period includes: (i) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of
January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and previously presented in the pro forma footnote disclosures), and (ii) compensation cost for all stock and
equity-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the new provisions of SFAS No. 123(R)).

Foreign Currency Transactions: The effects of remeasuring the non-functional currency assets or liabilities into the functional currency as well
as gains and losses on hedges of existing assets or liabilities are marked-to-market, and the result is included within other income (expense) in the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains and losses on financial instruments that hedge
firm future commitments are deferred until such time as the underlying transactions are recognized or recorded immediately when it is probable the transaction will not occur. Gains or losses on financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges are
recognized immediately as income or expense.

##### Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents: We consider all highly liquid investments, not considered short-term
investments, purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventory: Inventory is valued at
the lower of average cost (which approximates computation on a first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value or replacement cost).

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the declining-balance or the straight-line methods, based on the lesser of
the estimated useful or contractual lives of the assets (for both Successor and Predecessor Periods: buildings and building equipment, 5-40 years; machinery and equipment, 2-12 years), and commences once the assets are ready for their intended use.
The useful lives of the assets acquired by the Successor as part of the Merger were established in connection with the allocation of fair values at December 2, 2006.

Assets Held for Sale: When management determines that an asset is to be sold and that it is available for immediate sale subject only to terms that are usual and customary, the asset is no longer depreciated
and reclassified to assets held for sale. Assets held for sale are reported in other current assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of the assets of the acquired business. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually during the fourth
quarter. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 10 years for the Successor Periods and 3 to 10 years for the Predecessor Period. The useful lives of the intangible
assets acquired by the Successor as part of the Merger were established in connection with the allocation of fair values at December 2, 2006. We have no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets held and used by us and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate recoverability of assets to be held and used by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated
by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets calculated using either a future discounted cash
flow analysis or a market analysis approach.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and also for net
operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

We have reserves for taxes, associated interest, and other related costs that may become payable in future years as a result of audits by
tax authorities. Although we believe that the positions taken on previously filed tax returns are fully supported, we nevertheless have established reserves recognizing that various taxing authorities may challenge certain positions, which may not
be fully sustained. The tax reserves are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that affect our potential liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments by tax authorities,
resolution of tax audits, negotiations between tax authorities of different countries concerning our transfer prices, identification of new issues, and issuance of new regulations or new case law.

Foreign Currency Translation: Prior to January 1, 2008, many of our non-U.S. operations used the respective local currencies as the
functional currency. Those non-U.S. operations which did not use the local currency as the functional currency used the U.S. dollar. The effects of translating the financial position and results of operations of local currency functional operations
into U.S. dollars were included in a separate component of stockholders equity.

Effective January 1, 2008, we changed the
functional currency for certain foreign operations to the U.S. dollar. Major changes in economic facts and circumstances supported this change in functional currency. The change in functional currency is applied on a prospective basis. The U.S
dollar-translated amounts of nonmonetary assets and liabilities at December 31, 2007 became the historical accounting basis for those assets and liabilities at January 1, 2008 and for subsequent periods. As a result of this change in
functional currency, exchange rate gains and losses are recognized on transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and included in operations for the period in which the exchange rates changed.

Deferred Financing Costs: We capitalize direct costs incurred to obtain financings and amortize these costs over the terms of the related debt.
Upon the extinguishment of the related debt, any unamortized capitalized debt financing costs are immediately expensed.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments: The fair values of financial instruments are determined based on quoted market prices and market interest rates as of the end of the reporting
period. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, derivative contracts and long-term debt. Except for the fair value of our long-term
debt, the fair values of these financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying or contract values at December 31, 2008 and 2007. See Notes 3, 4 and 5 for further details concerning fair value measurement, the fair value
of our long-term debt and foreign currency derivative contracts, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications:Certain amounts reported in previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Business Segments:Management believes the current organizational structure of our sales and marketing, new product introduction, and supply chain operations enable us to execute to our strategic growth
initiatives. We have four major focused product design groups to facilitate faster decision making and focus on delivering new products. As a result of the current organizational structure, we operate and account for our results in one reportable
segment. We design, develop, manufacture and market high performance semiconductor products. Our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No. 131). We have one operating segment, as defined by SFAS No. 131, and therefore the aggregation criteria to determine the reportable segment is not applicable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133. It requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using
derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Accordingly, we will adopt SFAS No. 161 in the first quarter of 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on the consolidated financial
statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
 an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 requires an entity to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the entity in the consolidated
financial statements within the equity section but separate from the entitys equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on
the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in ownership interest be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and
the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, we will adopt SFAS No. 160 in
the first quarter of 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on the consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). Under SFAS No. 141(R), an entity is required to recognize the assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. It further requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred,
restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax
expense. In addition, acquired in-process research and development is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will change our accounting treatment for business
combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the first quarter of 2009.

Merger Costs

In 2008, we incurred merger costs of $11 million, which consist primarily of retention costs associated with the SigmaTel, Inc.
acquisition and accounting, legal and other professional fees. We incurred Merger costs of $5 million in 2007 primarily for accounting, legal and other professional fees. During 2006, we incurred costs associated with the Merger of $522 million.
These costs consisted of (i) $93 million related to the redemption of our 6.875% Notes and our 7.125% Notes (as defined in Note 4), (ii) $297 million in stock-based compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of the
Predecessor stock options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights awards, (iii) $106 million in accounting, investment banking, legal and other professional fees, and (iv) $26 million in employee compensation and payroll
taxes.

During 2008, we recorded an $83 million pre-tax gain as a reduction to interest expense in
connection with the repurchase of $89 million of our Senior Subordinated Notes, $63 million of our Fixed Rate Notes and $25 million of our Floating Rate Notes. (Senior Subordinated Notes, Fixed Rate Notes, and Floating
Rate Notes are each defined in Note 4).

During 2008, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (SFAS No. 133) we recognized a $38 million pre-tax loss in other, net related to the cumulative ineffective portion and subsequent change in fair value of our interest rate swaps
that are no longer classified as cash flow hedges.

During the Successor Period of 2006, we recorded a $15 million pre-tax loss in interest
expense as a result of our early redemption of our Predecessor Floating Rate Notes, as defined in Note 4.

Cash paid for interest was $717
million in 2008, $831 million in 2007, less than $1 million in the 2006 Successor Period, and approximately $106 million in the 2006 Predecessor Period.

Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses

In 2008, we recorded a $12 million pre-tax gain in other, net as a
result of the sale of all of the shares in one of our strategic investments accounted for under the cost method. In addition, we recorded a loss of $5 million in other, net associated with one of our investments accounted for under the equity
method.

In 2007, we sold our power amplifier product line for cash consideration of $32 million. We recorded a $10 million reduction of
inventory, an $11 million reduction to goodwill, $10 million in deferred revenue and $1 million in costs in connection with this transaction. No gain or loss was recognized on the sale.

Balance Sheet Supplemental Information

Short-Term Investments

FSL, Inc. and its subsidiaries invest a portion of their excess cash in a money market fund, which is a wholly owned subsidiary. The money market fund
provides FSL, Inc. and its subsidiaries a mechanism to effectively and efficiently manage its free cash flow on a global basis. The money market fund does not have investments in related parties of Holdings I or its subsidiaries.

The money market fund portfolio is managed by one major outside investment management firm and includes investments in high quality (rated at least A/
A-2 by S&P or A2/ P-2 by Moodys at purchase date) U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations including certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances and fixed time deposits, government obligations, asset-backed securities and
commercial paper or short-term corporate obligations. We rely on independent, third-party sources for securities pricing; however, due to recent illiquidity in the financial markets, certain securities are not actively trading, causing sporadic
pricing. We cannot guaranty that ongoing illiquidity will not cause adverse pricing adjustments; however, absent further deteriorating market conditions, we believe securities will settle at par upon maturity. The underlying weighted average
maturity of the investments was approximately 49 days and 46 days at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We value investments in the money market fund using the amortized cost method, which approximates current market value. Under
this method, securities are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security.

accounting adjustments to inventory in the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the 2006 Successor Period, respectively. See discussion on Goodwill and Intangibles included in this Note.

In 2008, we recorded a $44 million non-cash charge for inventory reserves in connection with the termination of our amended and extended arrangement with
Motorola, which was executed in the first quarter of 2008 (Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement). This charge was offset by a portion of the consideration received in connection with the termination of the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement.

2008 Goodwill Adjustments

In connection with the termination of the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement, the significant decline in market capitalization of the public companies in our peer group throughout the year and as of December 31, 2008,
our intent to pursue strategic alternatives for our cellular handset product group and the impact from weakening market conditions in our remaining businesses, we concluded that indicators of impairment existed related to our goodwill and our
developed technology / purchased licenses, customer relationship, and trademark / tradename intangible assets. The goodwill, developed technology / purchased licenses, customer relationships, and trademarks / tradenames were primarily established in
purchase accounting at the completion of the Merger in December 2006.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually and if an event or conditions change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting unit below its carrying
value. The determination of fair value used in the impairment evaluation is based on a combination of the income approach, utilizing the discounted cash flow method, and the public company comparables approach, utilizing multiples of profit measures
in order to estimate the fair value of the enterprise. We determined that our carrying value exceeded our fair value, indicating that goodwill was potentially impaired. As a result, we initiated the second step of the goodwill impairment test which
involves calculating the implied fair value of our goodwill by allocating the fair value of the Company to all of our assets and liabilities other than goodwill and comparing it to the carrying amount of goodwill. We determined that the implied fair
value of our goodwill was less than its carrying value by $5.4 billion, which was recorded as a goodwill impairment charge in 2008.

In the
fourth quarter of 2008, we made a strategic acquisition which resulted in an $18 million increase to goodwill.

2007 Goodwill Adjustments

During 2007, the property, plant and equipment and other assets fair value adjustments established in purchase accounting were
reduced by $32 million and $12 million, respectively, with corresponding increases to goodwill. The impact reduced our non-current deferred income tax liabilities and decreased goodwill by $6 million.

In addition, pursuant to the adoption of FIN 48, we increased our recorded reserves for tax contingencies by $5 million and decreased our deferred tax
liability on foreign earnings through a purchase price adjustment of $10 million, resulting in a net $5 million reduction to goodwill. A change in our deferred tax liability on foreign earnings calculation also resulted in a purchase price
adjustment, increasing goodwill by $21 million. We also adjusted our FIN 48 reserves in 2007 related to the conclusion of audits of certain foreign subsidiaries and the expiration of certain statutes, resulting in a $6 million reduction to goodwill.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we sold our power amplifier business, which resulted in an $11 million reduction to goodwill.

SigmaTel, Inc.

We acquired SigmaTel, Inc. (SigmaTel) on April 30, 2008 for cash consideration of $115 million, including $5 million of direct acquisition costs. SigmaTel was a fabless semiconductor company which
designed, developed and marketed mixed-signal ICs for the consumer electronics market. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141), the total purchase price was allocated to our net
tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of April 30, 2008. Included in the acquisition date tangible assets were $21 million in cash and cash equivalents and $32 million in auction rate securities. The
auction rate securities are included in other assets, net. Approximately $3 million of the acquisition date purchase price was allocated to in-process research and development. This amount was recognized as research and development expense upon the
closing of the acquisition. During the first nine months of 2008, we also recorded a $7 million charge to cost of sales related to purchase accounting adjustments to inventory. There was no goodwill associated with the acquisition of SigmaTel. In
the third quarter of 2008, FSL, Inc. sold $16 million of assets associated with SigmaTels business that designed and sold integrated circuits to the printer market. These assets were classified as held-for-sale as of June 27, 2008. In
addition, concurrent with the finalization of the purchase price allocation in the fourth quarter of 2008, we allocated $7 million of the purchase price to intangible assets.

Impairments

During 2008, as a result of the aforementioned impairment indicators discussed in
Goodwill and in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), we performed an analysis utilizing discounted future cash flows related to the
specific amortized intangible assets to determine the fair value of each of our intangible asset groups (developed technology / purchased licenses, customer relationships, and trademarks / tradenames). Prior to a business reorganization of FSL, Inc.
resulting in a change of the overall operating structure of our company in the fourth quarter of 2007, we operated and accounted for our results under three reportable segments, and as such our intangible assets were included within those reportable
segments. Upon concluding the net book value related to customer relationships, tradenames / trademarks and developed technology / purchased licenses intangible assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows and fair value attributable to such
intangible assets, we recorded impairment charges of $724 million, $99 million and $810 million, respectively, related to those intangible assets in 2008.

Valuation Methodologies

The corporate bonds and asset-backed securities classified above as
Level 2 are those that are professionally managed within our wholly-owned money market fund. The pricing methodology applied includes a number of standard inputs to the valuation model including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer
quotes where the party is standing ready and able to transact, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other reference data. The valuation model may prioritize these inputs differently at each balance sheet date for any given
security, based on market conditions. Not all of the standard inputs listed will be used each time in the valuation models. Due to the recent uncertainties in the credit markets, one of our asset-backed securities with a fair value of $6 million as
of December 31, 2008 is classified as Level 3.

Our investments in student loan auction-rate
securities (ARS) were acquired as a result of the SigmaTel acquisition which occurred in the second quarter of 2008. Due to uncertainties in the credit markets, the auctions for these securities have failed to settle on their respective
settlement dates, and as a result, Level 1 and Level 2 pricing is not available. Therefore, these securities are classified as Level 3 assets and we have used a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to determine the estimated fair value as of
December 31, 2008. The assumptions used in preparing the DCF model include estimates for (i) the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments and (ii) the rate of return required by investors to own these
securities in the current environment. In making these assumptions, we considered relevant factors including: the formula applicable to each security which defines the interest rate paid to investors in the event of a failed auction;
forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks specified in such formulas; the likely timing of principal repayments; the probability of full repayment considering the guarantees by the U.S. Department of Education of the underlying
student loans and guarantees by other third parties. Our estimate of the rate of return required by investors to own these securities also considers the current reduced liquidity for ARS. During the fourth quarter of 2008, FSL, Inc.
received and accepted an offer from UBS whereby we can exercise our rights under the agreement and sell our eligible ARS to UBS during the period of June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012 for par value. The $5 million value of the redemption rights were
determined using a discounted cash flow model similar to that used to value the ARS.

In determining the fair value of our interest rate swap derivatives, we use the present value of expected
cash flows based on market observable interest rate yield curves commensurate with the term of each instrument. For foreign currency derivatives, our approach is to use forward contract and option valuation models employing market observable inputs,
such as spot currency rates, time value and option volatilities. Since we only use observable inputs in our valuation of our derivative assets and liabilities, they are considered Level 2. On the termination of $400 million notional amount of
our interest rate swaps as a result of the bankruptcy filing of Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (the LCPI swap arrangement), we recorded an $11 million liability. The LCPI swap arrangement is classified as Level 3.

The following table summarizes the change in the fair value for Level 3 inputs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008:

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On December 1, 2006, FSL, Inc, Holdings III, IV, and V entered into a senior secured credit facility (Credit Facility) to fund a portion
of the Merger consideration, as well as costs associated with the Merger. The Credit Facility included (i) a seven-year, $3.5 billion term loan, including letters of credit and swing line loan sub-facilities (Term Loan), and
(ii) a six-year revolving credit facility with a committed capacity of $750 million (Revolver). The Term Loan will mature on December 1, 2013. The Revolver will be available through December 1, 2012, at which time all
outstanding principal amounts under the Revolver will be due and payable.

On October 5, 2008, Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc.
(LCPI) filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. LCPI is a counterparty to the Revolver and one of our interest rate swaps with a notional
amount of $400 million. LCPI provides a commitment in the amount of $60 million of the Revolver; therefore, we do not expect that future borrowing requests will be honored by LCPI.

FSL, Inc. may, subject to customary conditions, request an increase in the amount available under the Credit Facility of up to an additional $1
billion for a total commitment of up to $5.19 billion. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital purposes, capital expenditures, investments, share repurchases, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we drew down $460 million, net of LCPI non-funding, from the Revolver. At December 31, 2008, $3,430 million and $460 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and Revolver, respectively, and the Revolver had a
remaining committed capacity of $207 million, excluding the LCPI commitment and $23 million outstanding letters of credit.

The Term Loan
and Revolver bear interest, at FSL, Inc.s option, at a rate equal to a margin over either (i) a base rate equal to the higher of either (a) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. or (b) the federal funds rate, plus one-half of 1%; or,
(ii) a LIBOR rate based on the cost of funds for deposit in the currency of borrowing for the relevant interest period, adjusted for certain additional costs. The interest rate on the Term Loan and the Revolver at December 31, 2008 was
3.93% and 2.46%, respectively. On February 14, 2007,

##### Table of Contents

FSL, Inc. entered into an amendment to the Term Loan, lowering the spread over LIBOR from 2.00% to 1.75%. The applicable margin for borrowings under the
Revolver may be reduced subject to the attainment of certain leverage ratios. FSL, Inc. is also required to repay a portion of the outstanding Term Loan balance in quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the initial
outstanding balance for the first six years and nine months after the Term Loan closing date, with the remaining balance due upon maturity. FSL, Inc. is also required to pay quarterly facility commitment fees on the unutilized capacity of the
Revolver at a rate of 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. FSL, Inc. is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees.

The obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Parent Companies and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our
material domestic wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries, as defined in the Credit Facility agreement. As of December 31, 2008, FSL, Inc. had no material domestic wholly owned Restricted Subsidiaries. All obligations under the Credit Facility,
and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all the following assets of FSL, Inc. and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions: (i) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of each of Holdings III, Holdings IV and
Holdings V, a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of FSL, Inc., 100% of the capital stock of our subsidiary SigmaTel Inc. and 65% of the voting stock (and 100% of the non-voting stock) of each of our material wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries, in
each case that are directly owned by FSL, Inc. or one of the guarantors; and (ii) a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of each of Holdings IV, Holdings V and FSL, Inc. In addition, in the
event that FSL, Inc. (i) transfer foreign subsidiaries to, or form new foreign subsidiaries under, Holdings III or another foreign entity (but not any entity directly or indirectly owned by a U.S. entity) or (ii) transfer assets to such
foreign subsidiaries, FSL, Inc. will be required to pledge 100% of the voting stock of those wholly owned foreign subsidiaries so transferred or formed, and such foreign subsidiaries would be required to guarantee our obligations under the senior
secured credit agreement.

There are prepayment requirements under the Credit Facility in certain circumstances and subject to certain
exceptions. These potential prepayment requirements include (i) 50% of annual excess cash flow as defined in the senior secured credit agreement, subject to an incremental, full step-down based upon attaining certain leverage ratios;
(ii) 100% of net cash proceeds of all nonordinary course assets sales or other dispositions by Holdings III and its restricted subsidiaries if the net cash proceeds are not reinvested in the business; and (iii) 100% of the net
proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by Holdings III or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than debt permitted under our Credit Facility. The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied to scheduled installments of the Term
Loan in direct order of maturity. Based on our annual operating results for the year ended December 31, 2008, we will be required to make a mandatory prepayment based on excess cash flows of approximately $24 million in February 2009. This
amount is classified as a current liability in the accompanying audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008.

In connection
with the issuance of the Term Loan and Floating Rate Notes, FSL, Inc. also entered into interest rate swap contracts with various counterparties as a hedge of the variable cash flows of our variable interest rate debt. Under the terms of the
interest rate swap contracts, we have effectively converted $500 million of the variable interest rate debt, excluding the LCPI swap arrangement, to fixed interest rate debt through December 1, 2009 or December 1, 2012. See Note 5 for
further discussion.

Senior Notes

On
December 1, 2006, FSL, Inc. issued $4.35 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured debt securities (Senior Notes) in order to fund a portion of the Merger consideration, as well as costs associated with the Merger.
Included in the issuance were: (i) a series of floating rate notes due 2014 with an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (Floating Rate Notes); (ii) a series of 9.125%/9.875% PIK-election notes due 2014 with an aggregate
principal amount of $1,500 million (Toggle Notes); and, (iii) a series of 8.875% notes due 2014 with an aggregate principal amount of $2,350 million (Fixed Rate Notes). The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a rate,
reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR (which was 2.00% on December 31, 2008) plus 3.875% per annum, which is payable quarterly in arrears on every March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
commencing March 15, 2007. The Fixed Rate Notes bear interest at 8.875% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on every June 15 and December 15 commencing June 15, 2007. Interest on the Toggle Notes is payable
semi-annually in arrears on every June 15 and December 15 commencing June 15, 2007. For any interest period through December 15, 2011, FSL, Inc. may elect to pay interest on the Toggle Notes (i) in cash, (ii) by
electing to use the payment-in-kind (PIK) feature and increasing the principal amount of the Toggle Notes, or (iii) an evenly split combination of the foregoing. Interest payable in cash will accrue at a rate equal to
9.125% per annum, and interest payable by increasing the principal amount of the Toggle Notes will accrue at the cash interest rate plus 0.75% per annum. After December 15, 2011, FSL, Inc. must pay all interest payments on the Toggle
Notes in cash, and they will be treated as having been issued with original issue discount for federal income tax purposes. The Senior Notes will mature concurrently on December 15, 2014.

During 2008, FSL, Inc. repurchased $63 million of its outstanding Fixed Rate Notes and $25 million of their Floating Rate Notes. FSL, Inc. used funds
from the short-term investment portfolio for the purchase and early retirement of these notes at a $52 million discount. The redemption price included accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. FSL, Inc. also incurred
$2 million in non-cash charges associated with the recognition of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the early retirement of this debt.

In 2008, FSL, Inc. elected to use the PIK feature of its outstanding Toggle Notes in lieu of making cash
interest payments (PIK Interest) for the interest period ending on June 15, 2009. In connection with this election, on December 4, 2008, FSL, Inc. delivered notice to The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York),
in its capacity as trustee under the Indenture governing the Toggle Notes, that, with respect to the interest that will be due on such notes on the June 15, 2009 interest payment date, they will make such interest payment by paying in kind at
the PIK interest rate of 9.125% instead of paying interest in cash. As a result, we will accrue approximately $68 million of PIK interest as long-term debt through June 15, 2009. After the June 15, 2009 payment date, interest will accrue on the
PIK portion of the Toggle Notes at a PIK interest rate of 9.875%. As of December 31, 2008, $6 million of accrued PIK Interest associated with the Toggle Notes was classified as long-term debt.

As of December 31, 2008, FSL, Inc. had an aggregate principal amount of $4,268 million in Senior Notes outstanding consisting of (i) $475
million of Floating Rate Notes, (ii) $1,506 million of Toggle Notes, and (iii) $2,287 million of Fixed Rate Notes.

Relative to
FSL, Inc.s overall indebtedness, the Senior Notes, in right of payment, rank (i) equal to all senior, unsecured indebtedness (ii) senior to all subordinated indebtedness (including the senior subordinated notes referenced hereafter),
and (iii) junior to all secured indebtedness (including the aforementioned Credit Facility), to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness. The Senior Notes are guaranteed, joint and severally, by the Parent Companies with a guarantee
that ranks equal in the right of payment to all of the senior indebtedness of each parent guarantor. In the future, each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Credit Facility will also guarantee the Senior Notes to
the extent of the guarantee under the former.

FSL, Inc. may redeem, in whole or in part, the Toggle Notes and the Fixed Rate Notes at any
time prior to December 15, 2010, in each case at a redemption price equal to 100% of the related notes principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus the Applicable Premium, as defined in the Indenture Agreement. FSL,
Inc. may also redeem, in whole or in part, the Floating Rate Notes at any time on or after December 15, 2008, and the Toggle Notes and Fixed Rate Notes at any time on or after December 15, 2010. In each case, the redemption price equals a
fixed percentage of the related notes principal balance ranging from 100% to 104.6%, depending upon the series of notes redeemed and the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, FSL, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the
outstanding Toggle Notes and the Fixed Rate Notes with the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings until December 15, 2009.

Senior
Subordinated Notes

On December 1, 2006, FSL, Inc. issued a series of fixed rate notes due 2016 with an aggregate principal amount
of $1.60 billion (Senior Subordinated Notes, and, together with the Senior Notes, the Notes) in order to fund a portion of the Merger. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 10.125% per annum,
which is payable semi-annually in arrears on every June 15 and December 15 commencing June 15, 2007. The Senior Subordinated Notes will mature on December 15, 2016.

During 2008, FSL, Inc. repurchased $89 million of its outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes at a $31 million discount. FSL, Inc. used funds from the
short-term investment portfolio for the purchase and early retirement of these notes. The redemption price included accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. We also incurred $2 million in non-cash charges associated
with the recognition of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the early retirement of this debt. As of December 31, 2008, the Borrowers had an aggregate principal amount of $1,511 million in Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding.

The Senior Subordinated Notes rank junior in right of payment to the senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under the aforementioned
Credit Facility and Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are guaranteed, joint and severally, by the Parent Companies with a guarantee that ranks junior in right of payment to all of the senior indebtedness of each parent guarantor. In the future, each of
our wholly-owned subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Credit Facility will also guarantee the Senior Subordinated Notes.

FSL, Inc. may redeem, in whole or in part, the Senior Subordinated Notes at any time prior to December 15, 2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the notes principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus
the Applicable Premium, as defined in the Indenture Agreement. FSL, Inc. may also redeem, in whole or in part, the Senior Subordinated Notes at any time on or after December 15, 2011. The redemption price is at a fixed percentage of the
notes principal balance ranging from 100% to 105.1%, depending upon the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, FSL, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes with the net proceeds of one or
more equity offerings until December 15, 2009.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes and Credit Facility, we incurred $266
million in debt issuance costs. The unamortized component of these costs are recorded in other assets and are being amortized on the effective interest rate method.

Covenant Compliance

The Credit Facilities and Notes have restrictive
covenants that limit the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; pay dividends and make other restricted payments; incur restrictions on the payment of dividends or
other distributions from our restricted subsidiaries; create or incur certain liens; make certain investments; transfer or sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; and, merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or
substantially all of our assets. Under the Credit Facilities, FSL, Inc. must comply with conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing, as well as ongoing compliance with specified affirmative and negative covenants, including
covenants relating

##### Table of Contents

to maintenance of specified financial ratios. The Credit Facilities and Notes also provide for customary events of default, including failure to pay any
principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants and cross-faults or cross-escalation provisions. FSL, Inc. was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2008.

The maintenance of certain of our financial ratios is based on our level of profitability. The 2009 global economic environment will continue to
adversely impact our business and result in lower operating profitability. These lower levels of profitability will cause our financial ratios to fall outside of the prescribed ranges set forth in the Credit Facility, which will impose certain of
the restrictions as discussed in the preceding paragraph.

Credit Ratings

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, our corporate credit ratings from Standard & Poors, Moodys were B+ and B1, respectively. As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, our Fitch rating was B and B+, respectively. In January 2009, Standard & Poors, Moodys and Fitch downgraded our corporate credit ratings to B-, Caa1 and CCC, respectively.

Other Indebtedness

During the third quarter of 2006,
a foreign subsidiary of ours borrowed $38 million under a Japanese yen-denominated revolving loan agreement to repay an intercompany loan. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the foreign subsidiary borrowed an additional $37 million in order to enhance
its cash position and liquidity. The term of the loan is one year and is extended by one year automatically on every anniversary of the original execution date (June 1, 2002). The interest rate on the loan is based on the one-month Tokyo Interbank
Offered rate (TIBOR), which was 0.71% as of December 31, 2008, plus a spread of 0.15%. As of December 31, 2008, $92 million was outstanding under the loan.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $4.5 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively, which was determined based upon quoted market prices. Since considerable judgment
is required in interpreting market information, the fair value of the long-term debt is not necessarily the amount which could be realized in a current market exchange.

We are required to make debt service payments under the terms of our debt agreements. The obligated debt payments for 2009 is $151 million. Future obligated debt payments are $35 million in 2010, $35 million in 2011,
$495 million in 2012, $3,266 million in 2013 and $5,779 million thereafter.

(5) Risk Management

Foreign Currency Risk

As discussed in Note 1,
we changed the functional currency for certain foreign operations to the U.S. dollar effective January 1, 2008. As a result of this change in functional currency, exchange rate gains and losses are recognized on transactions in currencies other
than the U.S. dollar and included in operations for the period in which the exchange rates changed.

Our strategy in foreign exchange
exposure issues is to offset the gains or losses of the financial instruments against losses or gains on the underlying operational cash flows or investments based on managements assessment of risk. Almost all of our non-functional currency
receivables and payables, which are denominated in major currencies that can be traded on open markets, are hedged. We use forward contracts and options to hedge these currency exposures. In addition, we hedge some firmly committed transactions and
expect to hedge some forecasted transactions and investments in foreign subsidiaries in the future. A portion of our exposure is from currencies that are not traded in liquid markets, such as those in Latin America and Asia, and these are addressed,
to the extent reasonably possible, through managing net asset positions, product pricing, and component sourcing.

At December 31,
2008 and 2007, we had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts not designated as accounting hedges with notional amounts totaling approximately $199 million and $561 million, respectively, which are accounted for at fair value. The notional amount
of our foreign currency hedges decreased as a result of the change in functional currency for certain foreign operations to the U.S. dollar. The fair value of the forward contracts was a net unrealized gain of $199 million and a net unrealized gain
of $9 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject us to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should offset
losses and gains on the assets, liabilities, and transactions being hedged. The following table shows, in millions of United States dollars, the notional amounts of the most significant net foreign exchange hedge positions as of December 31,
2008 and 2007:

Cash Flow Hedges

At December 31, 2008, we had foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $186 million and a fair value of a net unrealized loss of $7 million. At
December 31, 2007, we had foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $168 million and a fair value amount of $3 million.

Commodity Price Risk

During the second quarter of 2006, we instituted a gold hedging program
which incorporates the use of financial derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to material increases in gold wire prices caused by changes in the spot price of gold bullion. At December 31, 2008, we had no outstanding gold wire hedge
contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

We use interest rate swap agreements to assist in managing the floating rate portion of our debt portfolio. In 2006 and 2007, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $900 million; however, on
October 5, 2008, LCPI filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankrupty Code with the United State Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Accordingly, on October 23, 2008, we terminated our interest rate swap
agreement with LCPI. This interest rate swap had a notional amount of $400 million. As of December 31, 2008, we have effectively fixed our interest rate on $500 million of our variable rate debt through December 1, 2009.

During 2008, we entered into two additional interest rate swaps, each with a notional amount of $100 million, respectively. These swaps are effective
from December 1, 2009 through December 1, 2012. As they do not meet the requirements of a cash flow hedge, all related gains and losses will be recognized in other, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

An interest rate swap is a contractual agreement to exchange payments based on underlying interest rates. We are required to pay the counterparty a
stream of fixed interest payments at an average rate of 4.84%, and in turn, receive variable interest payments based on 3-month LIBOR (2.18% at December 31, 2008) from the counterparties. The net receipts or payments from the interest rate swap
agreements are recorded in other expense, net. In December 2007, we elected to switch from 3-month LIBOR to 1-month LIBOR on our Term Loan. This was done in order to realize interest payment savings due to decreasing interest rates. As a result
of making this election on the Term Loan, these interest rate swaps no longer qualify as a cash flow hedge. Therefore, in 2008, we recognized a $38 million pre-tax loss in other expense, net in the accompanying audited Consolidated Statement of
Operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, the loss realized upon an instruments de-designation as a cash flow hedge represents the cumulative ineffective portion of the interest rate swaps and change in fair value from the date of
de-designation. In December 2008, we elected to switch back to 3-month LIBOR on our Term Loan; however, we elected not to re-designate the related interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133.

The remaining effective portion of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2008 is approximately $6 million, net of tax, and is included in
accumulated other comprehensive loss. This unrealized loss is exclusive of the aforementioned pre-tax loss on the ineffective portion of the interest rate swaps. This amount will be recognized as other expense through December 2009. If certain
terms of the Term Loan change, if the Term Loan is extinguished or if the interest rate swap agreements are terminated prior to maturity, this amount may be recognized sooner in other, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Counterparty Risk

Outstanding financial
derivative instruments expose the Company to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. The credit exposure related to these financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive
fair value at the reporting date. On a periodic basis, we review the credit ratings of our counterparties and adjust our exposure as deemed appropriate.

(6) Employee Benefit and Incentive Plans

Successor

Stock and Equity-based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments (SFAS No. 123(R)) using the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123(R). Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), a
one-time, non-cash benefit of approximately $7 million for estimated future forfeitures of unvested restricted stock previously expensed was recorded in the accompanying audited Consolidated Statement of Operations in the first quarter of 2006 as a
cumulative effect of accounting change, net of tax.

Stock and Equity-based Compensation Plans

Non-qualified and Rollover Options

In connection with
the Merger, we adopted a new stock-based compensation plan (2006 Management Incentive Plan), which authorizes stock-based awards to be granted to management and key employees for up to 31.2 million shares of our common stock. As of
December 31, 2008, the Company has issued approximately 19 million non-qualified stock options in Holdings I (2006 Options), with exercise prices ranging from $6.13 to $7.00 per share, to management pursuant to the 2006
Management Incentive Plan. The 2006 Options vest 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Investors Agreement dated December 1, 2006. As of
December 31, 2008, we had approximately $36 million in unamortized expense, net of expected forfeitures, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of four years in additional paid-in capital.

The fair value of the 2006 Options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The assumptions used in the model
are outlined in the following table:

Under the 2006 Management Incentive Plan, we also issued fully-vested options (Rollover
Options), to purchase approximately 4.2 million shares of our common stock, in exchange for approximately 740 thousand fully-vested Predecessor options held by certain members of management that were not exercised before the closing
of the Merger. The number and exercise price for the Rollover Options was determined based on a formula that maintained the intrinsic value of the Predecessor options and maintained the fair value of the award before and after conversion. Using the
closing price of the Predecessors common stock at the closing of the Merger, the average price for the Rollover Options was $4.31 per share. Except as noted for the number and exercise price, the Rollover Options generally maintained the same
terms as the Predecessor options.

The Rollover Options are considered temporary equity under the provisions of SEC Accounting Series
Release No. 268, Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stocks, due to having a contingent cash-settlement feature upon the death or disability of the option holder and the awards having intrinsic
value as of December 1, 2006 (the Grant Date). As such, the Grant Date intrinsic value of approximately $11 million recognized in additional paid-in capital should be considered temporary equity of the Company.

In March 2007, we adopted the Freescale Semiconductor Holdings 2007 Employee Incentive Plan (2007 Non-Executive Incentive Plan), which
authorizes the issuance of up to 4.9 million shares of our common stock in the form of stock-based awards to key employees. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 4.1 million non-qualified stock options (2007 Options),
with exercise prices ranging from $6.13 to $7.00 per share, have been issued to key employees. The 2007 Options vest 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the options grant date. As of December 31, 2008, we had
approximately $8 million in unamortized expense, net of expected forfeitures, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of four years in additional paid-in capital.

The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The assumptions used in the model
are outlined in the following table:

Class B Interests

In connection with the Merger, our Parent adopted a new equity-based management compensation plan (2006 Interest Plan), under which 344 thousand unvested Class B Interests in Freescale Holdings L.P.
were issued to 13 individuals, thereby making those individuals parties to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Freescale Holdings L.P. (Limited Partnership Agreement). Under the provisions of the Limited
Partnership Agreement, the Class B Interests will participate in any increase in the equity of the partnership subsequent to the initial contribution. The Class B Interests awards vest 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries
of the date of grant. The Class B Interests are subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions of the Limited Partnership Agreement and the Investors Agreement dated December 1, 2006.

During 2008, approximately 81 thousand Class B Interests became vested upon entering into a
separation agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer, and concurrently, approximately 53 thousand Class B Interests were forfeited. In accordance with this vesting, we recorded accelerated amortization of approximately
$17 million as a reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other charge in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, approximately 37 thousand Class B Interests became vested upon the separation of 6 other
executives in 2008, and concurrently, approximately 68 thousand Class B Interests were forfeited.

In 2008, our Parent granted our
current Chief Executive Officer a 1.2472% Class B-2008 Series Interest, as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement of Exempted Limited Partnership of the Parent, dated as of February 11, 2008 (Amended LP Agreement), which
provide the holder an interest in our Parent and entitle the holder to 1.2472% of all distributions in excess of the Partnership 2008 Book Value (as defined in the Amended LP Agreement). The Class B-2008 Series LP Interest was granted to our Chief
Executive Officer on April 7, 2008. However, the grant date for financial reporting is March 17, 2008, as we had a mutual understanding of the terms and conditions of the award and he met the definition of an employee on that date. The
Class B-2008 Series Interest vests 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of the grant. The Class B-2008 Series Interest is subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Amended LP Agreement and the
Investors Agreement dated December 1, 2006, as amended.

At December 31, 2008, we had approximately $69 million in unamortized
expense related to Class B and Class B-2008 Series Interests, net of expected forfeitures, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of four years in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the Class B Interests and Class
B-2008 Series Interest was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table:

RSUs

Under the terms of the 2006 Management Incentive Plan, RSUs have been granted to certain members of management and key employees. The grants are rights to receive shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis and vest 25% on each of the
first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and are not entitled to dividends or voting rights, if any, until they are vested. The fair value of the RSU awards is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee
service period. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $25 million in unamortized expense, net of expected forfeitures, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three to four years in additional paid-in capital.

A summary of changes in RSUs outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2008 is presented below:

On April 7, 2008, we granted 4.9 million RSUs to certain executives of the Company.
Included in this grant were 2.1 million RSUs granted to our new Chief Executive Officer. However, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), for financial reporting purposes, the date of our Chief Executive Officers grant
is March 17, 2008, as we had a mutual understanding of the terms and conditions of the award and he met the definition of an employee on that date.

##### Table of Contents

Under the terms of the RSU award agreements, shares of common stock are not issued to the participant
upon vesting of the RSU. Shares are issued upon the earlier of: (i) the participants termination of employment; (ii) the participants death; (iii) the participants disability; (iv) a change of control; or
(v) the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. Vested RSUs are considered outstanding until shares have been issued.

Other

In connection with the Merger, certain Predecessor fully-vested stock options and partially vested RSUs were exchanged for similar cash-settled liability
awards. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we reclassified these previously equity classified awards to accrued liabilities based on their December 1, 2006 market value. The cash-settled liability awards exchanged for Predecessor RSUs
will vest through the second anniversary of their original grant date. The aggregate market value of these awards was approximately $22 million as of December 31, 2008.

Predecessor

Stock-based Compensation Plans

Prior to the Distribution, compensation expense, if any, relating to Motorola options and RSUs held by our employees was allocated by Motorola to FSL,
Inc. on a specific employee basis. At the Distribution, all unvested options outstanding under Motorolas stock-based compensation plans that were held by our employees were converted to options to acquire Class A common stock of FSL, Inc. The
conversion rate was based on a formula that maintained the intrinsic value of the original unvested portion of the Motorola grant and maintained the fair value of the grant before and after the conversion. As a result, under this formula, using the
average closing prices at the Distribution Date of Motorola and FSL, Inc. shares of stock, we issued a total of approximately 23 million unvested FSL, Inc. stock options at an average exercise price of $9.91 per share. These issuances maintained the
original fair value calculated at their original grant date from Motorola. Any related compensation expense (or pro forma compensation expense) continued to be recognized (or disclosed) over the remaining employee service period until the closing of
the Merger, at which time vesting was accelerated and all compensation expense was fully recognized.

All unvested Motorola restricted
stock units held by our employees on the date of Distribution were cancelled and reissued as restricted stock units for Class A common stock of FSL, Inc. A total of approximately 350 thousand restricted stock units at $17.93 were issued at the
Distribution Date. The compensation expense related to these reissued restricted stock units were recognized over the remaining employee service period until the closing of the Merger, at which time vesting was accelerated and all compensation
expense was fully recognized.

On June 18, 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2004 Omnibus Plan).
The 2004 Omnibus Plan permitted stock option grants, annual management incentive awards, stock grants, restricted stock grants, RSU grants, performance stock grants, performance cash awards, SARs, and cash awards. The aggregate number of shares of
the Companys Class A common stock that could be issued under the 2004 Omnibus Plan was not to exceed 48 million.

On April 29, 2005,
we adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2005 (the 2005 Omnibus Plan). Upon adoption of the 2005 plan, FSL, Inc. ceased making grants under the 2004 Omnibus Plan, except for awards made from expired, forfeited or cancelled shares. The
2005 Omnibus Plan permits grants of stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, performance stock, performance RSUs, performance cash awards, annual management incentive awards and other stock or cash awards. The aggregate number of shares of FSL,
Inc. Class A common stock that could be issued under the 2005 Omnibus Plan was not to exceed 30 million. The number of shares that could be issued under the 2005 Omnibus Plan for awards other than stock options or SARs was not to exceed 20 million.
On December 1, 2006, the effective date of the Merger, we ceased making grants under the 2005 Omnibus Plan.

Stock Options

The exercise price of each stock option granted under our 2005 Omnibus Plan equaled 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The
majority of the options had a contractual life of seven years and vested ratably over four years from the date of grant. Stock options granted under the former 2004 Omnibus Plan had the same characteristics as the 2005 Omnibus Plan, with the
exception that the shares vested ratably over a period of three as opposed to four years from the date of grant, and they had a contractual life of ten years as opposed to seven. The exercise of stock options was satisfied with shares of treasury
stock to the extent available. Any compensation expense was recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee service period until the closing of the Merger, at which time vesting was accelerated and all compensation expense was fully
recognized.

The fair value of each option granted prior to the closing of the Merger was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing method. The weighted average assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the Predecessor Period was approximately
$179 million. The total intrinsic value of options that were paid for in conjunction with the closing of the Merger was approximately $559 million. We recorded in Merger expenses a non-cash charge for stock compensation expense of approximately $81
million in the Predecessor Period as a result of the acceleration of vesting of all options in connection with the Merger. Cash received from stock option exercises was approximately $102 million during the Predecessor Period.

Restricted Stock Units

RSU grants were rights to
shares of FSL, Inc. Class A common stock. The grants were restricted and therefore subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on sale or other transfer by the employee. RSUs were converted to shares of Class A common stock upon
vesting on a one-for-one basis. The RSUs vested ratably over a four-year period and were not entitled to dividends or voting rights, if any, until they were vested. The cost of the RSU awards was determined using the fair value of FSL, Inc. Class A
common stock on the date of grant, net of expected forfeitures, and compensation expense was recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee service period until the closing of the Merger, at which time vesting was accelerated and all
compensation expense was fully recognized.

During the second quarter of 2006, we granted performance-based RSUs to certain employees under
the 2005 Omnibus Plan. The number of RSUs that could be earned pursuant to such awards ranged from none to twice the number of target RSUs established at the grant date based upon achievement of specified levels of our 2006 net sales. The
performance RSUs, to the extent earned, vested over a two-year service period until the closing of the Merger, at which time vesting was accelerated and all compensation expense was fully recognized. All other terms and restrictions were generally
consistent with other RSUs granted by the Company.

All unvested Motorola RSUs held by our employees on the date of Distribution were
cancelled and reissued as RSUs for Class A common stock of FSL, Inc. A total of approximately 350 thousand RSUs were issued at $17.93 per share at the Distribution Date. The compensation expense related to these RSUs continued to be recognized over
the remaining employee service period until the closing of the Merger, at which time vesting was accelerated and all compensation expense was fully recognized. A summary of changes in RSUs outstanding during the Predecessor Period is presented
below:

##### Table of Contents

The total intrinsic value of restricted stock vested during the Predecessor Period was approximately $76
million. We recorded in Merger expenses a non-cash charge for stock compensation expense of approximately $216 million in the Predecessor Period as a result of the acceleration of vesting of all restricted stock in connection with the Merger.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We
initiated an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) after the Distribution. Prior to the closing of the Merger, under the ESPP, eligible participants were allowed to purchase shares of the Class A common stock through payroll deductions of
up to 10% of compensation on an after-tax basis. The price an employee pays per share was 85% of the lower of the fair market value of FSL, Inc.s Class A common stock on the close of the first trading day or last trading day of the purchase
period. The ESPP had two purchase periods, the first one from February 1 through July 31 and the second one from August 1 through January 31. The issuances of Class A common stock under the ESPP were satisfied with shares of treasury stock to the
extent available. The aggregate number of shares of FSL, Inc. Class A common stock that could be issued under the ESPP was not to exceed 6 million.

Compensation expense was measured as the fair value of the employees purchase rights during the look-back option period as calculated under the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The weighted average assumptions used in
the model are outlined in the following table:



|                                                 |  |                                             |      |

We treated the ESPP as a compensatory plan and have recorded compensation expense of approximately
$12 million in the Predecessor Period in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). During the Predecessor Period, our employees purchased 2.7 million shares at a weighted-average price of $22.60 per share. Cash used to purchase these shares totaled
approximately $61 million in the Predecessor Period. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the ESPP was terminated prior to the closing of the Merger.

Defined Contribution Plans

We have a retirement savings plan covering substantially all eligible U.S. employees (the
Plan). The Plan provides for employer matching contributions. Matching contributions may be made in amounts up to a 100% match of each participants pre-tax contributions to the Plan not to exceed 5% of the participants
eligible contribution.

Under our defined contribution plans, matching contributions totaled $38 million in 2008, $37 million in 2007, $3
million in the 2006 Successor Period, and $39 million in the 2006 Predecessor Period.

Incentive Plans

In conjunction with the IPO, we adopted an annual management incentive awards program under which the Company has the authority to grant management
incentive awards to any of our designated executive officers or of any subsidiary. Management incentive awards will be paid out of an incentive pool equal to 5% of our consolidated operating earnings for each calendar year. In conjunction with this
awards program, FSL, Inc. established the Freescale Bonus Plan. FSL, Inc. plans to allocate an incentive pool percentage to each designated employee for each calendar year. The employees incentive award then will be determined by us based on
the employees allocated portion of the incentive pool subject to adjustment in the sole discretion of us. We recognized expense of $3 million in 2008, $72 million in 2007, $11 million in the 2006 Successor Period, and $91 million in the
Predecessor Period related to this plan.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Effective as of December 31, 2007, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 158. SFAS No. 158 requires that the funded status of
defined-benefit postretirement plans be recognized on the Companys consolidated balance sheets, and that changes in the funded status be reflected in comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 also requires the measurement date of the plans
funded status to be the same as the Companys fiscal year-end. Although the measurement date provision was not required to be adopted until fiscal year 2008, the Company early-adopted this provision for fiscal year 2007. The measurement date
for all U.S. and non-U.S. plans was December 31, 2008.

Pension Benefits

At the Distribution Date, the pension benefits for all active U.S. employees were frozen. Obligations related to retired and other vested participants as of the
Distribution Date will remain the responsibility of Motorola. We did not adopt a new U.S. pension plan.

Most of FSL, Inc.s non-U.S. retirement benefit plans were frozen as of the Distribution, with respect to our employees, with the obligation for
retirees and vested participants remaining the responsibility of Motorola, and FSL, Inc. no longer participating in the Motorola plans. We continue to offer defined benefit plans to approximately 3,900 non-U.S. employees.

Net periodic benefit cost for pension plans was $14 million, $11 million and $10 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our contributions to these
plans aggregated $12 million, $5 million and $5 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The weighted average assumptions for these
benefit plans as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $98 million and $94 million
at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The measurement date for the valuation of our obligations and assets for the pension plans was December 31 for 2007 and 2008. The net projected benefit obligation of these plans was $116 million
and $108 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At

December 31, 2008 and 2007, plan assets of approximately $65 million and $84 million, respectively, were principally invested in equity, debt and
guaranteed investment securities. The fair value of plan assets was compared to the projected benefit obligation (PBO) at the effective date of the Merger. The excess PBO over the fair value of plan assets was used as the basis of the
purchase accounting adjustment. The balance of the benefit obligations at the effective date of the Merger was adjusted to reflect the excess PBO. The total purchase price adjustment to the pension plan liabilities was $7 million. In addition, we
had a pension plan obligation such that the plan assets exceed the benefit obligation at the time of the Merger. The asset balance increased $8 million in purchase accounting to reflect the increase in the fair value of plan assets in excess of the
PBO.

Postretirement Health Care Benefits

Certain retiree benefits are available to eligible United States employees meeting certain age and service requirements upon termination of employment through the Motorola Post-retirement Healthcare Plan. At the date of the Distribution,
FSL, Inc. assumed responsibility for the retiree medical benefit obligation for all eligible retired participants, active vested participants, and active participants who vest within the three year period following the Distribution. The amount of
the retiree medical benefit obligation assumed by FSL, Inc. was $118 million, and these benefits were frozen at the Distribution Date.

The components of the expense we incurred under the Post-retirement Healthcare Plan were as follows:

Our obligation for the Post-retirement Healthcare Plan was previously valued three months before
the year-end. Due to the necessity of obtaining the valuation of the benefit plans as a result of purchase accounting in connection with the Merger, the measurement date for 2006 is as of December 1, 2006, the effective date of the Merger, and
it is as of December 31 for 2007 and 2008. Our obligation consists of an accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and represents the actuarial present value of benefits payable to plan participants for services rendered at the valuation
date. Our obligation to the Post-retirement Healthcare Plan is as follows:

##### Table of Contents

Benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are estimated to be $12 million in 2009,
$12 million in 2010, $13 million in 2011, $13 million in 2012, $14 million in 2013, and $66 million thereafter. The weighted average assumptions for these retiree medical benefits as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

|Discount rate                                      |  | 5.75             | % |  | 6.00             | %
|Assumed health care trend rate for next year       |  | 9.38             | % |  | 10.03            | %
|Assumed ultimate health care trend rate            |  | 5.00             | % |  | 5.00             | %
|Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate |  | 2016             |   |  | 2016             |  

The assumed discount rate is based on market rates as of the measurement date and is utilized in
calculating the actuarial present value of our obligation, periodic expense and health care cost trend rate for the Post-retirement Healthcare Plan.

The assumed health care cost trend rate represents our estimate of the annual rates of change in the costs of the health care benefits currently provided by the Post-retirement Healthcare Plan. The estimated effect of
a 1% increase in assumed health care cost trends would increase 2008 costs by $0 million and increase the benefit obligation at December 31, 2008 by $7 million. The estimated effect of a 1% decrease in assumed health care cost trends would
decrease 2008 costs by $0 and decrease the benefit obligation at December 31, 2008 by $6 million.

The reconciliation of the funded
status of the Post-retirement Healthcare Plan is as follows:

In 2008, cash paid for taxes, net of cash received for tax refunds, was $11 million. In 2007, cash
received for tax refunds offset cash paid for taxes. Cash paid for taxes, net of cash received for tax refunds, was less than $1 million in the Successor Period in 2006 and $45 million in the Predecessor Period in 2006.

During the Predecessor Period, FSL, Inc. did not recognize tax benefits for deferred tax assets in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions
because FSL, Inc. determined that it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets would not be realized based on consideration of all available evidence. This assessment required considerable judgment on the part of management with
respect to benefits that could be realized from future income, as well as other positive and negative factors.

As a result of the Merger,
FSL, Inc. recorded significant acquired intangibles for which no tax basis exists and, as such, a significant deferred tax liability was recorded under purchase accounting. During the Successor Period ended December 31, 2006, and 2007, FSL Inc.
was in an overall domestic deferred tax liability position. As of December 31, 2008, FSL Inc. is no longer in a deferred tax liability position. SFAS FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes requires that deferred tax assets be reduced
by a valuation allowance, if based on all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has
recorded a valuation allowance on substantially all of its domestic net deferred tax assets after considering all positive and negative factors as to the recoverability of these assets. In addition, FSL, Inc. has recorded valuation allowances in
certain foreign jurisdictions after considering all positive and negative factors as to the recoverability of these assets.

Differences
between the income tax provision computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% and the actual income tax provision are noted below:

We recorded a benefit in the Successor Periods related to the extension of the research and
development tax credit in the U.S. through December 31, 2008.

A portion of our operations are eligible for a reduced or zero tax rate
under various tax holidays which expire in whole or in part through 2013. These tax holidays may be extended when certain conditions are met. The income tax benefits attributable to the tax status of the subsidiaries with tax holidays are estimated
to be approximately $27 million, $47 million and $55 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Subsequent to the Merger, we intend to repatriate all foreign subsidiary earnings and no longer
designate undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for permanent reinvestment. Foreign subsidiary earnings may be distributed substantially free of additional taxes given the tax provisions accrued on undistributed earnings.

Gross deferred tax assets were $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Gross deferred tax liabilities were $1.0
billion and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Companys deferred tax positions are reflected in the following captions on the accompanying audited Consolidated Balance Sheets:

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had valuation allowances of $560 million and $70 million
against certain of our deferred tax assets in the U.S., and valuation allowances of $61 million and $59 million against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries, respectively, to reflect the deferred tax asset at the net amount that
is more likely than not to be realized. Valuation allowances have been recorded on substantially all our domestic deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008, as we have incurred cumulative losses in the United States. We have not
recognized tax benefits for these losses as we are precluded from considering the impact of future forecasted income pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 109 in assessing whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our
deferred tax assets may be recoverable. The Company computes cumulative losses for these purposes by adjusting pre-tax results (excluding the cumulative effects of accounting method changes and including discontinued operations and other
non-recurring items such as restructuring or impairment charges) for permanent items.

At December 31, 2008, we had U.S.
federal net operating losses of $1.2 billion, which expire during the years 2017 through 2028; state net operating losses of $430 million, which expire in the years 2009 through 2026; and foreign net operating losses of $174 million, which expire
starting in 2013. We had U.S. federal research credits of $181 million, which expire in the years 2020 through 2028; state research credits of $73 million, which expire starting in 2009; and foreign credits of $1 million, which expire starting
in 2015. We also had foreign tax credits of $142 million, which expire in the years 2012 through 2018.

We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in tax positions. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement criteria for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires us to recognize in
our financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position.
The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition. For the year ended December 31 2008, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits
was as follows:

As of December 31, 2008, unrecognized tax benefits were $203 million. Substantially all of
this amount, if recognized, would be reflected as an adjustment to income tax (benefit) expense. It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months; however, we do not expect the change to have a
significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.

We recognized accrued interest and penalties associated with
uncertain tax positions as part of the tax provision and these amounts are included in income tax expense. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $4 million and $2 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had accrued interest and penalties of $12 million and $8 million, respectively.

We file U.S., state
and foreign income tax returns in jurisidictions with varying statutes of limitations. With few exceptions, we are not subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004.

(8) Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Leases

We own most of our major facilities,
but do lease certain office, factory and warehouse space, land, and information technology and other equipment under principally noncancellable operating leases expiring through 2025. Rental expense, net of sublease income, for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $34 million, $36 million and $45 million, respectively. Future minimum lease payments, net of minimum sublease rentals, of such operating leases for each of the five years subsequent to
December 31, 2008 are $38 million, $35 million, $25 million, $25 million and $24 million, respectively, and $58 million thereafter. Minimum sublease income on operating leases is approximately $9 million in 2009, $8 million in 2010,
$6 million in 2011, $4 million in 2012 and $1 million in 2013. Currently, there is no minimum sublease income scheduled beyond 2013.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had $27 million and $42 million, respectively, in capital lease obligations. We recorded $7 million, $19 million and $26 million in capital lease obligations in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under capital leases for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2008 are $12 million, $9 million, $4 million, $1 million and $0 million, respectively, and $1 million thereafter.

Other Commitments

Product purchase
commitments associated with our strategic manufacturing relationships include take or pay provisions based on volume commitments for work in progress and forecasted demand based on 18-month rolling forecasts, which are adjusted monthly. At
December 31, 2008, our commitment is $52 million through April 2009.

We have multi-year commitments under various software, service
and supply contracts requiring payments for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2008 of $124 million, $74 million, $58 million, $20 million and $3 million, respectively, and $6 million thereafter.

Contingencies

Environmental

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
(CERCLA, or Superfund), and equivalent state law, Motorola has been designated as a Potentially Responsible Party by the United States Environmental Protection Agency with respect to certain waste sites with which the Companys operations may
have had direct or indirect involvement. Such designations are made regardless of the extent of Motorolas involvement. Pursuant to the master separation and distribution agreement, FSL, Inc. has indemnified Motorola for these liabilities going
forward. These claims are in various stages of administrative or judicial proceedings. They include demands for recovery of past governmental costs and for future investigations or remedial actions. The remedial efforts include environmental cleanup
costs and communication programs. In many cases, the dollar amounts of the claims have not been specified and have been asserted against a number of other entities for the same cost recovery or other relief as was asserted against FSL, Inc. The
Company accrues costs associated with environmental matters when they become probable and reasonably estimable by recording the future estimated cash flows associated with such costs on a discounted basis. Due to the uncertain nature, the actual
costs that will be incurred could differ from the amounts accrued. Accruals at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $45 million and $47 million, respectively, the majority of which are included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets, with related charges / (reversals) to operating earnings of $(1) million in 2008, $1 million in 2007, and $3 million in the Predecessor Period in 2006. These amounts represent only our estimated share of costs incurred in
environmental cleanup sites without considering recovery of costs from any other party or insurer, since in most cases Potentially Responsible Parties other than us may exist and be held responsible.

Litigation

We are a defendant in various
lawsuits, including intellectual property suits, and are subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of business. The Company records an associated liability when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable.

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including tort and contractual disputes, claims
before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other employee grievances, and intellectual property litigation and infringement claims. Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims could cause us to incur
significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. Under agreements with Motorola, FSL, Inc. must indemnify Motorola for certain liabilities related to our business incurred prior to our separation from Motorola.

A purported class action, Howell v. Motorola, Inc., et al., was filed against Motorola and various of its directors, officers and employees in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Illinois District Court) on July 21, 2003, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and violations of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
The complaint alleged that the defendants had improperly permitted participants in the Motorola 401(k) Plan (Plan) to purchase or hold shares of common stock of Motorola because the price of Motorolas stock was artificially
inflated by a failure to disclose vendor financing to Telsim in connection with the sale of telecommunications equipment by Motorola. The plaintiff sought to represent a class of participants in the Plan for whose individual accounts the Plan
purchased or held shares of common stock of Motorola from May 16, 2000 to the present, and sought an unspecified amount of damages. On September 30, 2005, the Illinois District Court dismissed the second amended complaint filed
on October 15, 2004. Plaintiff filed an appeal to the dismissal on October 27, 2005. On March 19, 2007, the appeals court dismissed the appeal. Three new purported lead plaintiffs intervened in the case, and filed a motion for class
certification seeking to represent Plan participants for whose individual accounts the Plan purchased and/or held shares of Motorola common stock from May 16, 2000 through December 31, 2002. On September 28, 2007, the Illinois
District Court granted the motion for class certification but narrowed the requested scope of the class. Motorola has sought leave to appeal in the appellate court and reconsideration in the Illinois District Court of certain aspects of the class
certification order. On October 25, 2007, the Illinois District Court modified the scope of the class, granted summary judgment dismissing two of the individually-named defendants in light of the narrowed class, and ruled that the judgment as
to the original named plaintiff, Howell, would be immediately appealable. The class as certified includes all Plan participants for whose individual accounts the Plan purchased and/or held shares of Motorola common stock from May 16, 2000
through May 14, 2001 with certain exclusions. On February 15, 2008, Motorola and its codefendants filed motions for summary judgment on all claims asserted by the class. Those motions are currently pending before the District Court. On
February 22, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit agreed to hear Motorolas interlocutory appeal of the District Courts order certifying the class. This hearing occurred on October 23, 2008, and the
parties are awaiting the decision. As a result of the terms of its separation from Motorola, it is possible that FSL, Inc. could be held responsible to Motorola for a portion of any judgment or settlement in this matter. We continue to assess the
merits of this action as well as the potential effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On April 17, 2007, Tessera Technologies, Inc. (Tessera) filed a complaint against FSL, Inc., ATI Technologies, Inc., Motorola, Inc., Qualcomm, Inc., Spansion, Inc., Spansion
LLC, and STMicroelectronics N.V. (collectively, the Respondents) in the International Trade Commission (ITC) requesting the ITC enter an injunction barring the importation of any product containing a device that infringes two
identified patents related to ball grid array (BGA) packaging technology. On April 17, 2007, Tessera filed a parallel lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against ATI, FSL, Inc., Motorola and
Qualcomm

##### Table of Contents

claiming an unspecified amount of monetary damage as compensation for the alleged infringement of the same Tessera patents. Tesseras patent claims
relate to BGA packaging technology. On February 26, 2008, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) in the ITC proceeding granted the Respondents motion to stay the ITC proceeding pending the completion of the reexamination by the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office of the two patents asserted by Tessera in the ITC proceeding. On March 27, 2008, the ITC reversed this decision and ordered the reinstatement of the ITC proceeding, which occurred during the week of
July 14, 2008. On December 1, 2008, the ALJ issued his determination finding in favor of the Respondents and recommending that no injunction barring importation of the Respondents products be entered. In accordance with its rights,
Tessera petitioned the ITC to review the ALJs determination on December 15, 2008. The ITC has decided to review the ALJs determination and is scheduled to issue its final determination by April 3, 2009. We continue to assess
the merits of both of these actions as well as the potential effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Other Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we regularly execute contracts that contain customary
indemnification provisions. Additionally, we execute other contracts considered outside the ordinary course of business which contain indemnification provisions. Examples of these types of agreements include business divestitures, business
acquisitions, settlement agreements and third-party performance guarantees. In each of these circumstances, payment by us is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which
procedures typically allow us to challenge the other partys claims. Further, our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of duration, typically not in excess of 24 months, and/or amounts not in excess of the contract value,
and in some instances we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made us.

Historically, we have not made significant
payments for indemnification provisions contained in these agreements. At December 31, 2007, there was one contract executed outside the ordinary course of business containing indemnification obligations with a maximum amount payable of $4
million. At December 31, 2008 we have accrued $4 million related to known estimated indemnification obligations. We believe that if we were to incur additional losses with respect to any unknown matters at December 31, 2008, such losses
would not have a material negative impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(9) Asset Impairment Charges

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable. We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. An asset is considered
impaired if the carrying value of the asset is greater than its estimated future net undiscounted cash flows.

We measure the impairment to
be recognized from assets to be held and used as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The fair value of the assets is the quoted market price, if available, or the value of the assets calculated
using valuation techniques that we believe are most appropriate under the circumstances, including discounted cash flow analysis. To compute the estimated expected future cash flows on a discounted and undiscounted basis, we group assets at the
lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. We base our estimates of future cash flows on historical and current financial results and managements best estimates of future operating trends. The cash flows are discounted using a
rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model or prevailing market rates of investment securities. We project cash inflows and outflows until the operations will cease or significant capital
re-investment would be required to continue operations, whichever is shorter. In evaluating assets held for use for impairment, we also consider whether the events that triggered the impairment analysis give rise to a change in the estimated useful
lives of the associated assets. Asset useful lives are adjusted when appropriate.

In 2008, in connection with the termination of the Q1
2008 Motorola Agreement, the significant decline in the market capitalization of the public companies in our peer group throughout the year and as of December 31, 2008, our intent to pursue strategic alternatives for our cellular handset
product group and the impact from weakening market conditions in our remaining businesses, we concluded that indicators of impairment existed related to goodwill and our customer relationship, trademark / tradename and developed technology /
purchased license intangible assets. We concluded that our enterprise net book value exceeded its fair value, and that the net book value related to the intangible assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such intangible
assets. As a result, for goodwill we performed an allocation of our enterprise fair value to the fair value of our assets and liabilities to determine the implied fair value of our goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142. We also performed an
analysis utilizing discounted future cash flows related to certain intangible assets to determine the fair value of each of the respective assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144. As a result of these analyses, we determined that total
impairments of $7.0 billion existed, which were recorded as $5.4 billion impairment against goodwill and a $1.6 billion impairment of intangible assets in our audited Consolidated Statement of Operations for 2008.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we began discussions regarding an existing supply agreement with Motorola. We
concluded in connection with these discussions that indicators of impairment existed related to the customer relationship and trademark / tradename and developed technology / purchased license intangible assets associated with our wireless business.
Upon determining

that indicators of impairment existed, we performed recoverability tests in accordance with SFAS No. 144. We determined that the net book value related
to the intangible assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such intangible assets. As a result, we performed an analysis utilizing discounted future cash flows related to certain intangible assets to determine the fair
value of each of the respective assets. We determined a $449 million impairment existed, which was recorded in 2007 as an impairment of intangible assets in our audited Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Asset impairment charges of $88 million $24 million, and $8 million have been included in cost of sales and reorganization of businesses, contract
settlement and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and the Predecessor Period in 2006, respectively. The 2008 charges include a (i) $59 million
charge related to certain idle property, plant and equipment assets, (ii) an $18 million charge related to certain research and development assets, (iii) a $7 million non-cash impairment charge related to our manufacturing facility located
in Tempe, Arizona, which was classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2008, and (iv) a $4 million charge related to certain other assets classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2008. The 2007 charges include a $20 million
charge related to our held-for-sale assets at the 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility located in Crolles, France where we ended a strategic development and manufacturing relationship with two other semiconductor manufacturers. The impairment
charge was triggered by managements decision to sell our related assets by entering into an agreement in December 2007. Impairment charges of approximately $4 million related to certain assets previously held-for-sale was also included in
reorganization of businesses and other in 2007. The 2006 charge relates primarily to adjusting the value of property held by a foreign subsidiary to fair value.

(10) Reorganization of Businesses, Contract Settlement, and Other

We have entered into plans to reduce our workforce,
discontinue product lines, exit or refocus our business strategies and consolidate manufacturing and administrative operations in an effort to improve our operational effectiveness, reduce costs or simplify our product portfolio. At each reporting
date, we evaluate our accruals for exit costs and employee separation costs, which consist primarily of termination benefits (principally severance and relocation payments), to ensure that our accruals are still appropriate. In certain
circumstances, accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out our plans or because employees previously identified for separation resigned unexpectedly and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances
not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. We reverse accruals to income when it is determined they are no longer required.

Year Ended
December 31, 2008

Motorola Arrangements and Cellular Strategy

On October 2, 2008, we announced plans to sharpen the Companys strategic focus on growth markets and our key market leadership positions. In
support of this targeted approach, we are evaluating strategic options for our cellular handset product group. In September 2008, we updated our arrangement with Motorola, our largest cellular product customer. We had previously entered into the Q1
2008 Motorola Agreement whereby we received cash proceeds, provided certain pricing modifications and relieved Motorola of certain obligations. We deferred revenue related to the cash proceeds received, which was being recognized over the term of
the arrangement beginning in the first quarter of 2008. In the third quarter of 2008, the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement was terminated.

In
the updated arrangement, Motorola agreed to provide certain consideration in exchange for eliminating its remaining minimum purchase commitments (Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement). We recorded a benefit of $296 million in
reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other in connection with the Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement, which included the recognition of all remaining previously deferred revenue recorded under the Q1 2008 Motorola Agreement. As
a result of these updated arrangements, we experienced a significant reduction in our cellular handset revenues and our total operating earnings in the fourth quarter of 2008.

This benefit was partially offset by a $38 million charge for future foundry deliveries and contract termination fees associated with the cancellation of
certain third-party manufacturing agreements. This charge resulted from the execution of the Q3 2008 Motorola Settlement Agreement. As of December 31, 2008, $19 million of this charge has been paid.

Asset Impairment Charges

During 2008, we
recorded $88 million of non-cash impairment charges, including a $59 million charge related to certain idle property, plant and equipment assets included in all of our manufacturing facilities, an $18 million charge related to certain research and
development assets, a $7 million non-cash impairment charge related to our manufacturing facility located in Tempe, Arizona, which was classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2008, and a $4 million charge related to certain other assets
classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2008.

Chief Executive Leadership Transition

During 2008, $26 million was recorded in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other related to the change in executive leadership. Of
this amount, $17 million was a non-cash charge for equity compensation expense as a result of the accelerated vesting of certain Class B Interests in connection with the execution of a separation agreement with Michel Mayer, our former Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer. We also recorded an additional $8 million in severance costs related to Mr. Mayers separation and $1 million in compensation related to the hiring of Richard Beyer, our current Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer. We also recorded $12 million in charges related to severance payments and accelerated compensation expense related to the turnover we experienced in a number of our senior management positions.

Fourth Quarter 2008 Reorganization of Business Program

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced that we intend to renew our focus on key market leadership positions. In connection with this announcement and given general market conditions, we have initiated a series of restructuring
actions in the fourth quarter of 2008 to streamline our cost structure and re-direct some research and development investments into growth markets. These actions will reduce headcount in our supply chain, technology, marketing and general and
administrative functions. The following table displays a roll-forward from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 of the employee separation accruals and exit and other costs established related to the fourth quarter 2008 reorganization:

In 2008, we separated 500 employees. We will make payments to these separated employees and the
remaining 1,600 employees through the third quarter of 2009.

Third Quarter 2008 Reorganization of Business Program

During the third quarter of 2008, we announced plans to restructure our participation in the IBM Alliance, (a jointly-funded research alliance),
discontinue manufacturing operations at our East Kilbride, Scotland facility by May 2009 and to consolidate logistical and certain administrative operations. These actions enable us to streamline our global organization and reduce costs. The

In 2008, we separated 10 employees. We will make cash payments to these separated employees and
the remaining 940 employees through the third quarter of 2009.

In addition to these severance costs, we recorded exit and other costs of
$43 million in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement and other in the third quarter of 2008 related to a strategic decision to restructure our participation the IBM alliance, in a jointly-funded research alliance among several
semiconductor manufacturers which was formed to develop 300-millimeter technologies. This cash

million of this charge has been settled, and we expect to pay the remaining amount by the second quarter of 2009.

Second Quarter 2008 Reorganization
of Business Program

During the second quarter of 2008, we initiated plans to consolidate supply chain and administrative operations
in order to streamline our global organization and reduce costs. We accrued $21 million in severance costs associated with these actions in the second quarter of 2008. The following table displays a roll-forward from January 1, 2008 to
December 31, 2008 of the employee separation accruals established related to the second quarter 2008 reorganization:

During 2008, we separated 400 employees. The $14 million used reflects cash payments made to these
separated employees through December 31, 2008. We will make additional payments to these separated employees and the remaining 80 employees through the first quarter of 2009. In addition to these employee separation costs, we also recorded $9
million in exit and other costs related primarily to these actions in 2008, respectively. During 2008, we made cash payments of $6 million related to these exit costs and expect to conclude such payments in the first quarter of 2009.

Crolles Manufacturing and Research Alliance

During
the first nine months of 2008, we finalized a grant related to our former research and manufacturing alliance in Crolles, France. We recorded a benefit of $9 million for the grant in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other
related to the portion of the grant for assets sold during the first nine months of 2008. We also recorded a benefit of $5 million to research and development expense in connection with the receipt of this grant.

During 2008, we separated 70 employees. The $10 million used reflects cash payments made to these
separated employees through December 31, 2008. We will make additional payments to these separated employees through the end of the first quarter of 2009. We reversed $2 million of the remaining accrual due to approximately 30 employees
previously identified for separation who resigned and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved.

During 2008, we separated the final 50 employees. The $5 million used reflects cash payments made
to these separated employees and for exit costs through December 31, 2008. We reversed $8 million of the remaining accrual to goodwill due to efficiencies achieved through the execution of our research and development design center
consolidation program and the redeployment of certain resources. This program will be concluded and the final payments made to the separated employees by the end of the first quarter of 2009.

Year Ended December 31, 2007

Asset Impairment Charges and
Exit Costs

During the year ended December 31, 2007, impairment charges of $20 million were included in reorganization of
businesses and other related to our held-for-sale assets at the 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility located in Crolles, France where we ended a strategic development and manufacturing relationship with two other semiconductor manufacturers.
The impairment charge was incurred due to reaching an agreement to sell our related assets. In connection with the conclusion of the research and manufacturing alliance in Crolles, France, we also recorded $5 million in exit costs. We also had
impairment charges of approximately $4 million on certain assets previously held-for-sale included in reorganization of businesses and other.

Second
Quarter 2007 Reorganization of Business Program

During the second quarter of 2007, we announced plans to improve our operational
effectiveness and reduce costs through an employee separation program. The following table displays a roll-forward from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 of the accruals established related to the second quarter 2007 reorganization of
business program:

2005 Initiated Reorganization of Business Program

In the third quarter of 2005, we initiated
plans to reorganize certain of our operations in response to a customers decision to discontinue utilizing certain products provided by us. The reorganization resulted in an employee separation program and the impairment of certain equipment.

The following table displays a roll-forward from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 of the accruals established related to the
2005 employee separation program discussed above.

As of the end of the third quarter of 2006, we paid $9 million in employee separation costs. The
remaining $5 million accrual was reversed due to approximately 80 employees previously identified for separation who resigned unexpectedly and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans
were approved.

(11) Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Arrangements with our Investors

We have management agreements with affiliates or advisors of
the Sponsors and other investors in the Parent pursuant to which the Sponsors and other investors in the Parent or their affiliates, officers, employees and/or representatives and/or co-investors (the Advisors) will provide management
and advisory services to us until the tenth anniversary of the consummation of the Merger. Pursuant to the agreements, the Advisors receive an aggregate annual management fee equal to 1.5% of our annual Adjusted EBITDA, and reimbursement for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Advisors pursuant to the agreements. Also, the Advisors may receive additional compensation for investment banking or other advisory services provided to the Company by the Advisors or any of their affiliates
in connection with a specific acquisition, divestiture, refinancing, recapitalization or similar transaction. The management agreements include customary exculpation and indemnification provisions in the favor of the Advisors. The management
agreements may be terminated by us at such time as the Advisors are no longer obligated to provide services pursuant to the terms of the management agreement. If the management agreements are terminated prior to their scheduled expiration, the
agreement provides that the Advisors would receive a payment from us in an amount to be determined at such time by mutual agreement of the parties. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded management fees of $18 million and
$29 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expense.

(14) Relationship with Motorola

We design, produce and sell semiconductors to Motorola, which represented 23%, 24% and 26% of our net sales for the years ended December 31, 2008,
2007 and 2006, respectively.

Certain retiree benefits were available to eligible United States employees meeting certain age and service
requirements upon termination of employment through the Motorola Post-retirement Healthcare Plan. At the date of the Distribution, FSL, Inc. assumed responsibility for the retiree medical benefit obligation for all eligible retired participants,
active vested participants, and active participants who vest within the three year period following the Distribution. Motorola also apportioned $68 million in plan assets from their benefit trusts related to this obligation; this obligation has been
paid by Motorola as of December 31, 2008.

FSL, Inc. has a tax sharing agreement requiring it to indemnify Motorola against all tax
related liabilities incurred by Motorola relating to the Contribution or the Distribution to the extent caused by an acquisition of its assets or stock (other than pursuant to the Contribution), or other actions by FSL, Inc. These liabilities
include the substantial tax-related liability (calculated without regard to any net operating loss or other tax attribute of Motorola) that would result if the Contribution or the Distribution of the common stock of FSL, Inc. held by Motorola to the
Motorola shareholders failed to qualify as a tax-free transaction. This indemnification does not have a specified term and our liability under this indemnification could be material in the event the Contribution and Distribution failed to qualify as
a tax-free transaction. We do not believe the Merger results in a taxable event covered by this indemnification.

(15) Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

On December 1, 2006, in connection with the Merger, we issued $5.95 billion aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes and
outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes as described in Note 4. The Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured, senior basis, and the Senior Subordinated Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured, senior
subordinated basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, by the Parent Companies and SigmaTel, Inc. (together, the Guarantors) on an unsecured, senior subordinated basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. Each
Guarantor fully and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors, and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the obligations. As of the issue date, none of FSL,
Inc.s domestic or foreign subsidiaries (Non-Guarantors), except for SigmaTel, Inc., guarantee the Senior Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes or Credit Facility (as defined in Note 4). In the future, other subsidiaries may be required
to guarantee the Senior Notes and/or the Senior Subordinated Notes if and to the extent they guarantee the Credit Facility.

The following
tables present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows of FSL, Inc., the Parent, Guarantors, Non-Guarantors and eliminations as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the

(16) Subsequent Events

On January 21, 2009, FSL, Inc. received approximately $184 million under a draw from its Revolver to enhance its liquidity and cash position. The terms of the Credit Agreement require borrowings outstanding under
the revolving credit facility to be paid on or before December 1, 2012. The Revolver includes a $60 million commitment from LCPI, which filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of New York on
October 5, 2008. Freescales borrowing request for the draw on January 21, 2009, was not honored by LCPI and there can be no assurances that any future borrowing requests will be honored by LCPI. Including this draw, FSL, Inc. has
utilized $723 million of its $750 million capacity under the Revolver, including $23 million in outstanding letters of credit.

|Item 9: | Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
|------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

None.



|Item 9A: | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

(a) Managements Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

The term disclosure controls and procedures is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys
management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008. Based on that evaluation, the Companys
management, including the CEO and CFO (the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008. During the
quarter ending on December 31, 2008, there was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.

The certifications of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required under
Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have been filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this report.

(b) Managements Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting:

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 using the criteria set forth in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, the Companys internal control over financial
reporting was effective based on those criteria.

(c) Attestation Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm: Not applicable.

(d) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

|Item 11: | Executive Compensation
|-------- | ----------------------

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary

Compensation and
related matters are reviewed and approved by (i) the Compensation and Leadership Committee of Freescale Holdings GP, Ltd., the sole general partner of Freescale Holdings, L.P., (Parent), (ii) our Compensation and Leadership
Committee of Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd. (Holdings I) and (iii) the Compensation and Leadership Committee of Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., which we refer to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K collectively as the
Committee. The Compensation and Leadership Committees of our Parent and Holdings I, and our Compensation and Leadership Committee are made up of the same members, except that Mr. Kaufman does not serve on our Compensation and Leadership
Committee or the Compensation and Leadership Committee of Holdings I.

Matters reviewed and approved by the Committee include:



| |  |  | Our compensation philosophy;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | Base salary and bonus targets for our Named Executive Officers (the Committee reviews and recommends Chief Executive Officer compensation to the Board of
Directors);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The 2008 Freescale Bonus Plan (2008 Bonus Plan), the 2008 Freescale Second Half Bonus Plan (2008 Second Half Bonus Plan) and awards granted
under those Plans; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our long-term incentive awards.
| | - |  | -------------------------------

The
non-management members of the Board of Directors have the sole authority to authorize and approve all elements of compensation paid to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

We believe that management bench strength and leadership are significant factors in the long-term success of our business. Therefore, a principal
objective of the Committee and management is to attract, motivate and retain the most competent executives within the semiconductor industry. The principal elements of total compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers include:



| |  |  | base salary;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | short-term cash incentives; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | long-term incentives.
| | - |  | ---------------------

Base salaries
are generally determined and adjusted annually, if warranted, based on changes in the market place as reflected in the composite market data for our peer group (described below), taking into account an executives individual performance, salary
relative to peers and contribution to Freescale. However, the Committee may also review and adjust base salaries upon special circumstances such as a promotion, a change in duties or for other reasons.

Short-term cash incentive awards are granted under the Freescale 2008 Incentive Performance Plan (Incentive Performance Plan), which is
designed to align and reward individual and company performance in key areas deemed critical to our success, during a measurement period of up to one year. Short-term cash incentive targets are established within the context of the Incentive
Performance Plan, commensurate with competitive targets for similar positions within our peer group (described below).

Long-term incentive
awards are designed to align and reward individual and company contributions toward the creation of long-term company value. These programs are also a key pillar of our retention and pay for performance philosophy, which aligns the focus and
execution of executives with our long-term success. We have granted long-term incentive awards to our executives under the Freescale Holdings L.P. 2006 Interest Plan (Interest Plan), the Freescale Holdings 2006 Management Incentive Plan
(MIP) and the Freescale Semiconductor Holdings 2007 Employee Incentive Plan (EIP). Long-term incentive awards include Class B Limited Partnership Interests in our Parent (Class B Interests), stock options to
purchase our common stock, restricted stock unit awards (including deferred stock unit awards) payable in our common stock and restricted cash awards.

In addition to these principal elements of total compensation, our Named Executive Officers are entitled to certain additional benefits. Named Executive Officers are entitled to retirement
benefits under the Freescale 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (401(k) Plan). Named Executive Officers are also entitled to payment of benefits upon certain change of control events. These benefits were previously provided under our Officer
Change in Control Severance Plan (Severance Plan), which expired on December 1, 2008. Change in control and severance benefits are now provided pursuant to

##### Table of Contents

employment agreements with certain Named Executive Officers as described in further detail below. Named Executive Officers are also entitled to certain
perquisites described in further detail below in the section entitled Executive Benefits and Perquisites.

Our Named Executive
Officers for 2008 consist of Richard Beyer (our principal executive officer), Alan Campbell (our principal financial officer), Alexander Pepe, Henri Richard, Lisa Su, Michel Mayer, whose employment ended in March of 2008, Sandeep Chennakeshu, whose
employment ended in December of 2008, and Lynelle McKay, whose employment ended in October of 2008.

This compensation discussion and
analysis is intended to explain our compensation philosophy and the factors considered in establishing our executive compensation. This disclosure should be read in connection with the compensation tables and narrative disclosure included elsewhere
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, all of which provide further detail on the compensation granted to our Named Executive Officers.

Compensation
Philosophy

The Committee believes that well-designed compensation programs are critical to attracting and retaining the right people
and can significantly impact behaviors and create a successful company.

Guiding Principles

In accordance with this philosophy, the Committee is guided by the following principles in structuring and administering compensation programs.
Compensation programs should:



| |  |  | align the interests of management with the long-term interests of the corporation;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | design programs that are fiscally sound in a way that maximizes the value to participants and the corporation;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | be equitable, reasonable and market oriented in comparison to similar positions in comparable corporations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | motivate and reward management to maximize enterprise value and performance while focusing on targeted short-term objectives;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incorporate an increasing proportion of variable and at-risk compensation as levels of responsibility and the ability to affect results increase;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | align with our pay for performance philosophy and recognize individual contribution through application of specific performance criteria that, to the maximum extent
possible, are quantifiable; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide extraordinary rewards when extraordinary performance is achieved.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peer Group Comparability

Management in coordination with the committee has engaged outside
consulting firms to provide market data, benchmarking and other compensation related information used to prepare managements compensation proposals to the Committee. Pearl Meyer & Partners served as our outside consulting firm until
July 2008, at which time we ended our engagement with Pearl Meyer & Partners and retained Radford Surveys and Consulting, an AON Consulting Company. The Committee uses the information in the surveys provided by Radford and Pearl Meyer to
review and analyze the Chief Executive Officers compensation and considers information and advice provided by our outside consulting firm to establish the compensation of our other executives in accordance with our compensation philosophy.

The Committee uses market data of companies from our peer group as one of the factors in determining base salary, total cash and total
compensation for our Named Executive Officers. The Committee selects our peer group annually based on the following factors: industry similarity, size (generally defined by total revenues), comparability of labor markets and product offerings,
market capitalization, research and development investment and financial performance. Based on these criteria, the semiconductor companies in the 2008 peer group are Advanced Micro Devices, Analog Devices, Broadcom Corp., Marvell Technology, Micron
Technology, National Semiconductor, NVIDIA, QUALCOMM and Texas Instruments. The other companies in the 2008 peer group are Agilent Technologies, Apple Computer, Applied Materials, Dell, IBM and Sun Microsystems.

Applying Our Compensation Philosophy

The Committee annually reviews base salary, short-term cash incentives and long-term incentives for the Chief Executive Officer and other Named Executive Officers. However, the Committee may
also review and adjust base salary, short-term cash incentives and long-term incentives under special events such as promotions, change in duties or for other reasons. Each element of compensation is considered individually and collectively in
relation to the composite market data from our peer group, as well as individual performance and contribution. Our programs are designed to reward executive officers who consistently exceed the expectations of our high performance culture.



97



---

##### Table of Contents

The Committee regularly meets with our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President of Human Resources
and other members of management to review, discuss and approve compensation matters. Numerous executive sessions are held to evaluate managements input. Annually, the Chief Executive Officer reviews each Named Executive Officers and the
Direct Reports to the Chief Executive Officers individual performance and also reviews with the Committee their base salary, short-term cash incentive awards and long-term incentive awards. The Committee reviews the recommendations made by the
Chief Executive Officer along with the performance of each Named Executive Officer to determine if any changes are required. The Committee has the authority through its charter to review and approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers
other than the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee also reviews the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and annually recommends to our Board of Directors any potential adjustments to the Chief Executive Officers salary, short-term
cash incentive awards and long-term incentive awards. The non-management members of our Board of Directors are responsible for authorizing and approving the Chief Executive Officers compensation.

Base Salary

Base salaries are generally
determined by the Committee. The Committee reviews and approves base salaries annually based on changes in the market place as reflected in the composite market data from our peer group and an executives individual performance, salary relative
to peers and contribution to Freescale. However, the Committee may also review and adjust base salaries upon special events such as promotion, change in duties or for other reasons. For 2008, the Committee, and our Board of Directors as required,
approved the base salaries set forth in the 2008 Summary Compensation Table under column (c). Minimum base salary amounts are set forth in each Named Executive Officers employment agreement.

In January 2009, we announced that executives were taking a voluntary and temporary base salary reduction as one of a number of cost savings measures we
implemented in response to the current macro-economic environment. In addition, Freescale employees, including Named Executive Officers, will be taking one week off without pay during our upcoming first and second quarters of 2009.

Short-term cash incentive Compensation

Short-term cash incentive awards are granted under the Freescale 2008 Incentive Performance Plan, which is designed to reinforce corporate, organizational and business-development goals, promote the achievement of short-term financial and
other business objectives and to reward the performance of individual employees in fulfilling their personal responsibilities for long-range achievements. Short-term cash incentive awards are designed for a measurement period of up to one year, and
are based on both individual performance and corporate performance measured against pre-established performance objectives.

Bonus Plans

Bonus plans may be based on measures such as cash flow, revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA),
customer satisfaction, design wins and quality, among others, which can vary from period to period. Payouts are calculated based on measurable pre-established performance objectives. Actual bonus payments to Named Executive Officers are determined
by the Committee (except for the Chief Executive Officer whose compensation is determined by the Board of Directors).

During 2008, there
were two bonus plans for Named Executive Officers, the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan and the 2008 Second Half Bonus Plan.

2008 Annual Bonus Plan

Under the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan, individual Bonus Targets vary by Named Executive Officer and are based on composite market data from
our peer group, total cash compensation among similar positions at companies in our peer group and contribution to Freescale. The Individual Bonus Targets for Named Executive Officers under the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan are set forth on the 2008 Grants
of Plan-Based Awards Table in column (d).

An Individual Performance Factor is established for each employee based upon an evaluation of an
individuals contribution to our business and may range from 0 to 2.

The Business Performance Factor measures overall company and
product group performance. The Business Performance Factor is calculated using a formula that weights the Company and product group achievement of certain objectives against pre-established performance objectives. For the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan, the
pre-established performance objectives are as follows: (1) EBITDA, (2) customer loyalty and (3) design wins. Funding of the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan is contingent upon the achievement of a minimum EBITDA threshold.



98



---

##### Table of Contents

Bonuses under the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan are paid only when performance goals are achieved. If the
minimum EBITDA threshold is not met, no amounts are paid under the bonus plan, even if other pre-established performance objectives are achieved. If targets are exceeded, the maximum business performance factor is 2.0.

In July 2008, the Committee evaluated the macro-economic environment and the previously established EBITDA targets under the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan. Upon
determining that the EBITDA targets under the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan would not be achieved, in September 2008, the Committee established a new 2008 Second Half Bonus Plan with new EBITDA targets for the second half of 2008. The 2008 Second Half
Bonus Plan established individual bonus targets at 50% of the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan. All other targets and weightings were identical to the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan.

2008 Second Half Bonus Plan

At the first meeting in 2009, the Committee evaluated the Companys
2008 EBITDA achievement against performance objectives established under the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan and the 2008 Second Half Bonus Plan. The Committee determined that the minimum EBITDA threshold had not been met. Accordingly, no bonus payments were
awarded under the 2008 Annual Bonus Plan or the 2008 Second Half Bonus Plan, other than as required under certain executives employment agreement, which established a guaranteed minimum payout.

Long-Term Incentives

Equity Awards

Our long-term equity-based incentives are designed to align and reward individual and company contributions toward the creation of long-term company
value. These programs are also a key pillar of our retention and pay for performance philosophy. Equity awards have been granted under our Interest Plan, MIP and EIP and have consisted of Class B Interests, stock options to purchase Holdings I
common stock, restricted stock unit awards (including deferred stock unit awards) payable in Holdings I common stock, and restricted cash awards.

Grants of equity awards are made in accordance with our MIP and the policies adopted by the Committee. The Committee specifically approves grants to Named Executive Officers and the Chief Executive Officers direct reports, and
recommends approval of the Chief Executive Officers awards to the Board of Directors. The Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to approve all grants of stock options and restricted stock units to employees who
are not direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer. Further, the Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the ability to delegate the authority to grant stock options under the EIP for employees that do not report directly to the
Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Vice President, Human Resources and the Chief Accounting Officer. The grants made pursuant to this delegated authority are made with respect to new hires, promotions and retention grants on the first Monday of the
month following the date of hire, promotion or retention arrangement, as applicable.

Generally, in the light of the applicable limitations
under the securities laws and the Committees determination that equity ownership should be concentrated with key employees and the senior management team, the ability of employees, including senior executives, to transfer ownership of or to
retain, any Class B Interests, stock options or restricted stock units (as well as any underlying securities) following the employees termination of employment is strictly limited by the applicable governing plan and grant documents.

2008 Long-Term Incentive Awards

Restricted
Stock Unit Awards

In April 2008, we granted restricted stock units for Holdings I common stock to our executives, including certain of
our Named Executive Officers, other than Mr. Beyer. These awards vest twenty-five percent on the first anniversary of the grant date and then in equal quarterly installments for the next three years. Individual grant amounts vary by Named
Executive Officer and are based on composite market data from our peer group and individual performance, total long-term equity among similar positions at companies in our peer group and the executives contribution to Freescale. These awards
are set forth in the 2008 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table in Column (i).

Performance-based and Retention Cash Awards

In April 2008, we granted performance-based cash awards to our executives, including certain of our Named Executive Officers, other than Mr. Beyer.
These awards contain a target amount of cash that is adjusted according to our actual EBITDA in 2008 as measured against EBITDA targets set by the Committee. These awards are designed to pay an aggregate amount that ranges from zero to two times the
target amount in four equal annual installments on the anniversary of the date of grant. The EBITDA targets set by the Committee for these awards were identical to the EBITDA targets established for the 2008 Bonus Plan. These awards are set forth in
the 2008 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table in Column (d).

At its first meeting in 2009, the Committee
evaluated our 2008 EBITDA against the EBITDA targets for these awards and determined that the minimum EBITDA target had not been achieved and the amount of all performance-based restricted cash awards was adjusted to zero. No payments will be made
with respect to these awards in 2009 or any future periods.

---

##### Table of Contents

To align the senior management team during the onset of macro-economic turmoil and the transformation of
our business, in October 2008, we granted retention cash awards to certain senior executive officers including certain Named Executive Officers, other than Mr. Beyer. Each of these awards provides for a lump sum cash payment on the third
anniversary of the grant date. If a Named Executive Officer terminates employment due to death, disability or is terminated by us without cause after the first anniversary of the date of grant but prior to the third anniversary of the date of the
grant, a pro rata amount of the cash award will be paid to the Named Executive Officer. If the Named Executive Officer terminates employment for any of the above-stated reasons prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, the award will be
forfeited upon termination. These awards are set forth in the 2008 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table in column (d).

Long-term Incentive Awards to
Mr. Beyer

In February 2008, Mr. Beyer was appointed as Chief Executive
Officer of Freescale. In connection with his employment and under the terms of his employment agreement, he was granted 2,100,840 restricted stock units payable in our common stock, which vests in three equal annual installments on March 17thin each of the three years following the year of grant. Mr. Beyer also received a grant of Class B Interests which provide distributions
equal to 1.2472% of the return of capital to investors in excess of Parents 2008 book value, which vests in four equal annual installments on March 17thin each of the four years following the year of grant. Mr. Beyer also received $12.5 million in deferred cash, which vests in three equal annual installments on March 17thin each of the three years following the year of grant. Mr. Beyer will receive the vested portion of the deferred compensation on the earlier of his termination, death,
disability, a change in control or the third anniversary of the date of grant.

Post-Termination Benefits

Retirement Benefits

On December 2, 2004, we
established our 401(k) Plan, a tax-qualified plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or (ERISA). The 401(k) Plan provides retirement benefits to all eligible U.S. employees, including Named Executive
Officers, and allows an employee to defer up to 75% of his or her eligible compensation for the pay period on a pre-tax basis (subject to maximum amounts permitted under the Code). In 2008 we made matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan each pay
period based upon the employees rate of deferral. Our contributions are made at a ratio of one dollar matched per one dollar deferred by the employee, up to a maximum deferral rate of five percent of the employees annual compensation.
Employee and Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan are not subject to Federal tax until distributed from the 401(k) Plan. In addition, employee and company contributions are, at all times, fully vested and non-forfeitable. Amounts allocated to
each participating employee are eligible for distribution in the event of retirement, death, disability or other termination of employment. In February 2009, as one of the cost management measures we implemented in response to current macro-economic
conditions, we temporarily suspended our matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan.

Officer Change in Control Severance Plan

The Severance Plan, which provided for the payment of benefits to the Named Executive Officers under certain specified circumstances, expired on
December 1, 2008. This Severance Plan was replaced by individual employment agreements with certain senior executives, including our Named Executive Officers, other than Mr. Beyer. For a discussion of the change in control and severance
benefits under the employment agreements, see the section entitled 2008 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.

Executive Benefits and Perquisites

The principal executive benefits and perquisites programs that we provided to our
Named Executive Officers in 2008 included use of our aircraft (as described below) and an executive health program.

Other than the Chief
Executive Officer, none of our executive officers may use our aircraft for personal use. Our aircraft use policy allows (1) the Chief Executive Officer 50 hours of aircraft use for personal travel, (2) immediate family members of the Chief
Executive Officer to accompany the Chief Executive Officer on business travel and (3) personal emergency use. The policy further provides that we will not gross-up any tax liability incurred by the Chief Executive Officer with respect to his
personal use or immediate family members when accompanying the Chief Executive Officer on business travel. However, we will gross-up the tax liability incurred by the Chief Executive Officer with respect to his use of our aircraft when traveling
from San Jose, California to our office in Austin, Texas and vice versa.

In 2008, we provided Mr. Beyer with an automobile and an
apartment for his use while working at our office in Austin, Texas. We also paid a gross up for the tax liability incurred by him with respect to his use of this automobile and apartment.

Policies and Decisions Regarding the Adjustment or Recovery of Awards

The equity grants and proceeds from equity received by our Named Executive Officers are subject to covenants and agreements that require those executive
officers to forfeit equity or repay the proceeds from equity in the event that they violate non-competition or non-solicitation covenants.

Share
Ownership Guidelines

Because we are no longer listed as a publicly-traded company on a stock exchange, share ownership guidelines
that were in effect prior to our merger in 2006 are no longer applicable. As discussed above, the transferability of equity owned by Named Executive Officers under long-term incentive programs is restricted.

Mr. Beyers Employment Agreement

On
February 13, 2008, we announced that Richard Beyer was named as our new Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective March 2008. Mr. Beyers current compensation consists of base salary, cash bonus, Class
B Interests, deferred cash compensation, restricted stock units and certain other benefits and is governed by his employment agreement dated February 11, 2008 (the Beyer Agreement). The terms of the Beyer Agreement are detailed
below.

Mr. Beyers Base Salary

In accordance with the Beyer Agreement, Mr. Beyers minimum base salary is $1,100,000. The Board of Directors determined to hold Mr. Beyers 2009 base salary at $1,100,000. However, in January 2009, due to the
macro-economic environment, Mr. Beyer accepted a temporary voluntary base salary reduction for 2009 with a resulting base salary of $880,000.

Mr. Beyers Bonus

In accordance with the Beyer Agreement, Mr. Beyer received a commencement bonus of
$1,000,000 upon starting with Freescale. Further, per Mr. Beyers employment agreement he received a guaranteed minimum bonus of $1,100,000 for 2008. Beginning in 2009, Mr. Beyer is entitled to a target bonus of $1,650,000 (150% of
his annual base salary), as determined by the Board of Directors. Mr. Beyers 2009 annual performance bonus is calculated based on his base salary without taking into account any temporary voluntary salary reduction.

Mr. Beyers Equity Awards in 2008

In 2008,
we granted Mr. Beyer Class B Interests, restricted stock units and deferred cash. For a description of these awards, please see Long-term Incentive Awards to Mr. Beyer above.

Mr. Beyers Benefits

During the term of the Beyer Agreement, Mr. Beyer is eligible to
participate in long-term incentive plans or programs and welfare and other benefit plans established by the Company for its senior officers generally.

Mr. Beyers employment agreement also provides for certain executive benefits and perquisites, as described above in Executive Benefits and Perquisites.

Pursuant to the Beyer Agreement, Mr. Beyer is also entitled to severance upon a qualifying termination of employment. The severance is generally
equal to two times (three times upon a qualifying termination following a change in control) the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus. Upon a qualifying termination not in connection with a change in control, Mr. Beyer is also
entitled to accelerated vesting of certain equity awards. In addition, we will provide a gross-up payment to Mr. Beyer with respect to any excise taxes resulting from parachute payments received by Mr. Beyer upon a qualifying termination
following a change in control.

The Employment Agreement also includes a release of claims and non-competition and non-solicitation
covenants by Mr. Beyer for a two-year period following termination of his employment with the Company for any reason.

Mr. Mayers
Separation Agreement

On February 8, 2008, we issued a press release announcing that
Mr. Mayer had decided to step down as Chief Executive Officer and chairman of our Board of Directors. On February 12, 2008, we entered into a separation and release agreement (the Mayer Agreement) with Mr. Mayer, setting
forth the terms of Mr. Mayers separation. Under the Mayer Agreement, Mr. Mayer resigned from his positions as an officer and director at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Mr. Mayers employment terminated effective
as of May 1, 2008 (the Separation Date). We continued to pay Mr. Mayer his base salary, benefits and perquisites through the Separation Date.

On December 9, 2008, we announced the resignation of Dr.
Sandeep Chennakeshu, Senior Vice President, Chief Development Office and on such date entered into a separation and release agreement (the Chennakeshu Agreement). Under the terms of the Chennakeshu Agreement, Dr. Chennakeshu
resigned from his position as an officer of Freescale effective December 19, 2008. We continued to pay Dr. Chennakeshu at his last rate of base salary recorded and continued his benefits and perquisites through his separation date of

On October 24, 2008, Lynelle McKay terminated
her employment with Freescale Semiconductor as its Senior Vice President and General Manager, Networking and Multimedia Group. Upon her termination, Ms. McKay became eligible to receive benefits under the Severance Plan. Under the terms and
conditions of the Severance Plan, Ms McKay received (1) a lump sum cash payment of $1,383,443, and (2) certain continued benefits for a period of three years after her separation date.

with their terms, the performance based restricted stock units vested at target upon the change of control which occurred as a result of the Merger. Because our 2006 revenue exceeded the target level in the award agreement and the change of control
occurred near year end, the Compensation and Leadership Committee awarded a cash payment in January of 2007 equal to the difference between the value of the shares that vested as a result of the change of control and the value of the shares that
would have been issued based on our actual 2006 revenue.

|(1) | Under the terms of Mr. Beyers employment agreement dated February 11, 2008, he will receive a minimum guaranteed bonus payout in 2008 of $1,100,000 and the maximum
payment was two times the target amount. Please see the discussion under Item 11Compensation Disclosure and Analysis for additional details regarding Mr. Beyers employment agreement.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | Under the terms of Mr. Beyers employment agreement dated February 11, 2008, Mr. Beyer was granted a deferred cash award of $12,500,000. The deferred cash vests
in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversary dates of Mr. Beyers employment start date, March 17, 2008; however, vested amounts of the deferred cash award will be paid on the earlier to occur of
Mr. Beyers death, disability, termination of employment or March 17, 2011. As of December 31, 2008, no deferred cash had vested.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(3) | After determining the targets established under the 2008 Bonus Plan would not be achieved and thus no payments made, the Committee approved the 2008 Second Half Bonus Plan. Under
the terms of Mr. Beyers employment agreement dated February 11, 2008, Mr. Beyer was guaranteed a minimum bonus payment of $1,100,000 and the maximum payout was 2 times the 2008 Second Half Bonus Amounts, based on target awards
that were 50% of the bonus target under the 2008 Bonus Plan.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(4) | Amounts represent target bonus awards under the 2008 Bonus Plan. The minimum payment was $0 for each Named Executive Officer, and the maximum payment was 2 times the target amount.
Because the minimum EBITDA target under the plan was not achieved, no payments will be made under the 2008 Bonus Plan.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(5) | These grants reflect performance restricted cash awards granted under the terms of the Freescale Holdings 2007 Employee Incentive Plan. The target amount of cash is adjusted
according to our actual EBITDA in 2008. The minimum amount is 0 and the maximum amount is 2 times the award, payable in four equal annual installments on the anniversary date of the grant. Because the minimum EBITDA target under the plan was not
achieved, no payments will be made under this award.

|(7) | These grants reflect restricted cash awards granted under the terms of the 2007 Employee Incentive Plan. These restricted cash awards vest quarterly after the first anniversary of
the date of grant and vested amounts will be paid in one lump sum on the earlier to occur of the Named Executive Officers death, disability, termination of employment or October 6, 2011.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(8) | Grant reflects restricted cash award granted under the terms of the 2007 Employee Incentive Plan, which will vest and become payable in two installments (a) one third on the
first anniversary of the date of grant and (b) two thirds on the third anniversary of the date of grant. In addition, between the first anniversary and the third anniversary of the grant, Dr. Su will be paid a prorated amount of the grant
value upon her death, disability or termination of employment without cause.

|(9) | Under the terms of Mr. Beyers employment agreement dated February 11, 2008, Mr. Beyer was granted a restricted stock award of 2,100,840. These restricted stock
units were granted under the terms of the Freescale Holdings 2006 Management Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversary dates of Mr. Beyers employment
start date, March 17, 2008. The fair market value of Holdings I common stock as of March 17, 2008 was $6.13. As of December 31, 2008, none of these restricted stock units had vested.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(10) | Number of units represents the equivalent on December 31, 2008 of Mr. Beyers 1.2472% Class B Interest
awarded under the Interest Plan. Mr. Beyers Class B Interest was granted as a percentage rather than a number of units. This Class B Interest vests in four equal installments on each March 17thbeginning in 2009 subject to Mr. Beyers continued employment and is subject to accelerated vesting upon certain terminations of employment or service and in the event we
enter into certain transactions as described in the discussion under Item 11  Compensation Discussion and Analysis  Long-term Incentive Awards to Mr. Beyer. Because the threshold at which Mr. Beyers Class B Interest
shares in the profits of Parent was equal to the fair market value of Parents equity in Holdings I on the date of grant, the liquidation value of the Class B Interest was zero.

|(11) | These restricted stock units were granted under the terms of the 2006 Management Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units vest 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant
and then in equal quarterly installments until fully vested on April 7, 2012.

|(12) | None of these restricted stock units had vested as of Dr. Chennakeshus termination of employment.

|(13) | Under the terms of Ms. McKays separation agreement, vesting accelerated for 22,059 restricted stock units payable in shares of our common stock so that Ms. McKay
held a total of 34,113 vested restricted stock units payable in our common stock.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(14) | The fair market value of our common stock was $6.13 per share on April 7, 2008.

2008 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Mr. Beyer

Under the terms of the employment
agreement for Mr. Beyer, in the event that his employment is terminated other than for cause, death or disability, or it is terminated by Mr. Beyer for good reason, he will be entitled to receive, subject to his execution of a release:
(1) payment of all unpaid base salary and accrued vacation through the date of termination and his cash bonus for the year preceding the date of termination (if not previously paid); (2) a cash payment equal to a pro rata portion of his
target bonus for the year in which the date of termination occurs; (3) a cash payment equal to two times the sum of base salary and target bonus; (4) continued medical and life insurance until Mr. Beyer is eligible for Medicare or
another employers plan; and (5) any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided which he is eligible to receive, based on accrued benefits through the date of termination.

If at any time following a change in control, Mr. Beyers employment is terminated other than for cause, death or disability, or it
is terminated by him for good reason, he will be entitled to receive: (1) payment of all unpaid base salary and accrued vacation through the date of termination and his cash bonus for the year preceding the date of termination (if not
previously paid); (2) a cash payment equal to a pro rata portion of his target bonus for the year in which the date of termination occurs; (3) a cash payment equal to three times the greater of his annual base salary during the three years
prior to the change in control and his annual base salary on the date of termination; (4) a cash payment equal to three times the highest annual bonus (including any portion thereof that has been deferred and annualized for any fiscal year
consisting of less than 12 months or during which he was employed for less than 12 months) that he received during the five fiscal years prior to the date of termination; and (5) continued medical and life insurance until Mr. Beyer is
eligible for Medicare or another employers medical plan. For purposes of eligibility for retiree medical benefits pursuant to such plans, Mr. Beyer will be considered to have remained employed until the earlier of three years after the
date of termination or the last day any employee may become eligible for such retiree medical benefits and to have retired on the last day of such period. If Mr. Beyer is terminated by us (other than for cause) within the nine-month period
prior to a change in control, but subsequent to such time as negotiations or discussions which ultimately lead to a change in control have commenced, then he shall be entitled to receive the benefits outlined above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
we adopt a change in control severance plan for senior officers generally with more generous benefits than the benefits outlined above, Mr. Beyer will be entitled to those more generous benefits to the extent applicable in lieu of the benefits
outlined above.

In the event of a payment made by us to Mr. Beyer at a time when our common stock or the common stock of any of our
affiliates is not readily tradable on an established securities market or otherwise, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code, or Section 280G, Mr. Beyer and we will use our best efforts to satisfy the
shareholder approval requirements of that section in a manner designed to preserve the full economic benefit to the executive of any payments or benefits otherwise due to the executive. The employment agreement for Mr. Beyer
contains a Section 280G tax gross-up provision in the event of a change in control that occurs other than at a time when our common stock or the common stock of any of our affiliates is not readily tradable on an established securities market
or otherwise.

Mr. Beyer is subject to restrictive covenants including non-solicit and non-competition provisions that remain in
effect during the two-year period following termination of his employment for cause or as a result of voluntary resignation other than for good reason. Mr. Beyer also agrees to assist us in any litigation or dispute to the extent such
litigation or claim relates to the executives employment or the period of the executives employment with us.

Certain Named Executive
Officers

Certain Named Executive Officers are entitled to benefits under the Executive Employment Agreement (the Executive
Agreement). The Executive Agreement provides the following payments and benefits in the event that an executives employment is terminated for any reason other than termination for good cause (as defined in the Executive
Agreement), disability or death: (1) accrued but unpaid salary through the date of termination; (2) payment for accrued but unused paid time off; (3) the executives annual bonus for the calendar year immediately preceding the
calendar year in which the date of termination occurs, if such bonus has been determined but not paid as of the date of termination; (4) payment of a Prorated Bonus Payment for the year of termination at the executives target if
termination occurs in the first quarter of the year, and based upon Company performance if termination occurs after the first quarter; and (5)(i) if the date of termination occurs on or before December 31, 2009, the amount equal to the
product of (x) two and (y) the executives base salary, and continuation of certain benefits for a period of two years after termination date, or (ii) if the date of termination occurs after December 31, 2009, the amount
equal to the product of (x) 1.5 and (y) the executives base salary, and continuation of certain benefits for a period of 18 months after termination date.

Under the Executive Agreement if at any time following a change in control, employment is terminated other than for cause, death or disability, or it is
terminated by the Named Executive Officer for good reason, the Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive: (1) accrued but unpaid salary through the date of termination; (2) payment for accrued but unused paid time off;
(3) the executives annual bonus for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs, if such bonus has been determined but not paid as of the date of termination; (4) payment of a
Prorated Bonus Payment for the year of termination at the executives target if termination occurs in the first quarter of the year, and based upon Company performance if termination occurs after the first quarter; (4) a cash payment equal
to two times the Named Executive Officers annual base salary on the date of termination; (5) a cash payment equal to two times the Named Executive Officers target bonus for the year of termination; and (6) continued medical and
life insurance for a period of two years following the date of termination. If the Named Executive Officer is terminated by us (other than for cause) within the six-month period prior to a change in control, but subsequent to such time as
negotiations or discussions which ultimately lead to a change in control have commenced, then the Named Executive Officer shall be entitled to receive the benefits outlined above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we adopt a change in control
severance plan for senior officers generally with more generous benefits than the benefits outlined above, Named Executive Officers subject to the Executive Agreement will be entitled to those more generous benefits to the extent applicable in lieu
of the benefits outlined above.

The Executive Agreement contains a Section 280G tax gross-up provision in the event of a change in
control that occurs other than at a time when our common stock or the common stock of any of our affiliates is not readily tradable on an established securities market or otherwise.

The Executive Agreement contains restrictive covenants including non-solicit and non-competition provisions that remain in effect during the two-year period following termination of employment for cause or as a result
of voluntary resignation other than for good reason.

|Item 13: | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrangements with our Investors

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, we entered into agreements with
the Sponsors and those persons and entities that are investors in our indirect parent companies.

Shareholders Agreement

The Sponsors entered into a shareholders agreement with respect to their interests in Freescale Holdings GP, Ltd. (the General Partner),
the general partner of Parent. Among other things, this agreement establishes the composition of the board of the General Partner, provides for restrictions on the transfer of shares of the General Partner and for approval rights with respect to
actions by the General Partner or Parent and its subsidiaries. The shareholders agreement provides that certain actions by the General Partner, Parent or any of their subsidiaries, for example, amendments to the organizational documents,
amendments or waivers of any debt documents, equity issuances and the registration of equity securities in connection with an initial public offering, and acquisitions or sales of assets, require the approval of a majority of the directors appointed
by the Sponsors. The shareholders agreement also provides for customary indemnification of all directors, shareholders and their affiliates.

Investors Agreement

The Sponsors entered into an investors agreement that provides that no holder of any equity
interests in Parent or Holdings I may transfer their equity interests except to permitted transferees and except in compliance with certain restrictions on transfer. The investors agreement provides certain investors with the right to
tag-along and sell a pro rata portion of their equity interests if other investors propose to sell all or a portion of their equity interests. Additionally, investors holding a majority of the Class A limited partnership interests
in Holdings have the right to cause a sale of Parent or Holdings I and to require the other equityholders to participate in such a sale. Pursuant to the investors agreement, any equity of Parent and Holdings I held by employees of the Company is
subject to put and call rights under specified circumstances. If Parent or its subsidiaries propose to issue new equity securities, equityholders of Parent and Holdings I will have the right to purchase their pro rata share of such new securities.

Registration Rights Agreement

The equityholders of Parent also entered into a registration rights agreement providing for certain customary demand and piggyback registration rights (including customary indemnification) and Rule 144 sale provisions applicable to
specified parties. Parent would be responsible for paying the expenses of such registrations.

Management Fee Agreements

On December 2, 2006, following completion of the Merger, we entered into management agreements with affiliates or advisors of certain members of the Consortium, including affiliates or advisors of the Sponsors,
pursuant to which such entities or their affiliates, officers, employees and/or representatives and/or co-investors (the Advisors) provide management and advisory services to us. Pursuant to such agreements, the Advisors receive an
aggregate annual management fee equal to 1.5% of our annual Adjusted EBITDA, paid quarterly in advance, and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Advisors pursuant to the agreements. We paid an aggregate of $18 million for
management services for the year ended December 31, 2008. The management agreements have a 10-year term, but may be terminated by us at such time as the Advisors are no longer obligated to provide services pursuant to the terms of the
management agreement. If the management agreements are terminated prior to their scheduled expiration, the Advisors will receive a payment from us in an amount to be determined at such time by mutual agreement of the parties. The management
agreements include customary exculpation and indemnification provisions in favor of the Advisors.

Other Arrangements

Mr. Stephen P. Kaufman purchased 150 Class A Limited Partnership interests of Parent during fiscal year 2007 for a total purchase price of
$150,000.

The Company has also entered into an agreement with Equity Healthcare LLC (Equity Healthcare), an affiliate of The
Blackstone Group (Blackstone), one of our Sponsors. Equity Healthcare negotiates with providers of administrative services for health benefit plans and other related services for cost discounts. Equity Healthcare also provides
quality-of-service monitoring capability for health care plans. Because of the combined purchasing power of its client participants, we believe that Equity Healthcare is able to negotiate pricing terms from providers that are more favorable than we
could otherwise obtain on an individual basis.

In consideration for Equity Healthcares provision of access to these favorable
arrangements and its monitoring of the contracted third parties delivery of contracted services to the Company, the Company has agreed to pay to Equity Healthcare a fee of $2 per employee per month (PEPM Fee). As of
December 31, 2008, the Company had 7,720 employees enrolled in its health and welfare benefit plans.

Equity Healthcare may also
receive a fee from one or more of the health plans contracted with Equity Healthcare (Health Plan Fees) if the total number of employees from Blackstone portfolio companies utilizing Equity Healthcares
services exceeds specified thresholds. If and when Equity Healthcare reaches the point at which the aggregate of its receipts of the PEPM Fee from Blackstone portfolio companies and the Health Plan Fees have covered all of its allocated
costs, it will apply the incremental revenues derived from all such fees to (a) reduce the PEPM Fee payable from Blackstone portfolio companies; (b) avoid or reduce an increase in the PEPM Fee that might otherwise have occurred on contract
renewal; or (c) arrange for additional services to Blackstone portfolio companies at no cost or reduced cost.

Equity Healthcare is an
affiliate of Blackstone, on behalf of which Paul Schorr, IV and James Quella are members of our Board. Blackstone, Mr. Schorr and Mr. Quella are affiliated with Equity Healthcare and may have an indirect pecuniary interest.

Statement of Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

The Board of Directors has adopted a written policy to review and approve any related party transaction in excess of $5 million.

Director Independence

Information regarding director independence is set forth above in Item 10 of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

Audit and Legal Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm

The Audit and Legal Committee (the Audit Committee) pre-approves all audit and permissible
non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for the
pre-approval of services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. The policies and procedures provide that management and our independent registered public accounting firm jointly submit to the Audit Committee a schedule of
audit and non-audit services for approval as part of the annual plan for each year. In addition, the policies and procedures provide that the Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services not in the annual plan on a case-by-case basis.
For each proposed service, management must provide a detailed description of the service and the projected fees and costs (or a range of such fees and costs) for the service. The policies and procedures require management and our independent
registered public accounting firm to provide quarterly updates to the Audit Committee regarding services rendered to date and services yet to be performed.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority for audit and non-audit services to our Chief Accounting Officer, who can pre-approve services up to a maximum fee of $250,000. Any service pre-approved by our
Chief Accounting Officer must be reported to the Audit Committee at the next scheduled quarterly meeting.

The audit, audit-related, tax
and other services provided by KPMG LLP in 2008 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policy.
