PART I

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. Freescale, the Freescale logo, CodeWarrior, Coldfire, Coldfire+, Kinetis, PowerQUICC, QorIQ, Qorivva, SMARTMOS, StarCore, VortiQa and Xtrinsic are our trademarks and copyrights. Other names used in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K are for informational purposes only and may be trademarks of their respective owners. We were incorporated in Bermuda on November 9, 2006.



|Item 1: | Business

Overview

We are the global leader in embedded processing semiconductors and solutions. In 2010, we derived approximately 80% of our net sales from
products where we held the #1 or #2 market positions and had over 30% of the embedded processor market. Our embedded processor products include microcontrollers, single- and multi-core microprocessors, applications processors and digital signal
processors. They provide the core functionality of electronic systems, adding essential control and intelligence, enhancing performance and optimizing power usage while lowering system costs. We also offer complementary semiconductor products,
including radio frequency (RF), power management, analog, mixed-signal devices and sensors. A key element of our strategy is to combine our embedded processors, complementary semiconductor devices and software to offer highly integrated
platform-level solutions that are increasingly sought by our customers to simplify their development efforts and shorten their time to market. We have a heritage of innovation and product leadership spanning over 50 years and have an extensive
intellectual property portfolio, including nearly 11,500 issued and pending patents, allowing us to serve our more than 18,000 customers through our direct sales force and distribution partners.

We are focused on some of the fastest growing applications within the automotive, networking, industrial and consumer markets. These
applications include automotive safety, hybrid and all-electric vehicles, next generation wireless infrastructure, smart energy, portable medical devices, consumer appliances and smart mobile devices. We leverage our deep customer relationships,
intellectual property portfolio, extensive suite of software and design tools and technical expertise to introduce innovative new products and platform-level solutions in our target markets. We were first to market with the following products: our
Qorivva automotive microcontroller units (MCU), which are the industrys most powerful MCUs developed utilizing 55 nanometer process technology; our 45 nanometer multi-core QorIQ communications processors, which offer
advantages in processing speed and power consumption in the networking infrastructure market; and our 77GHz radar systems for advanced automotive safety. We expect to be early to market with a quad-core applications processor for mobile devices with
our i.MX6 family. We believe our ability to leverage our intellectual property across product lines and target markets enables us to be early to market with our products.

The trend of increasing connectivity and the need for enhanced intelligence in existing and new markets are the primary drivers of the growth of embedded processing solutions in electronic devices.
Growing electronic content in automobiles, increasing network bandwidth, connected industrial and medical electronics, context-based sensing, the proliferation of smart mobile devices and the increasing importance of power efficiency are driving the
growth of our business. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), a global provider of market intelligence, the total market for microcontrollers, digital signal processors and communications processors is expected to exceed
$23.1 billion by 2013, representing a compound annual growth rate of 8.0% from 2010. We believe our competitive offerings will enable us to grow faster than the markets in which we compete.

significant barriers to entry and increased revenue visibility.

J.D. Power and Associates, a global marketing information
services firm, expects overall vehicle sales for the global automotive industry to grow from 72 million vehicles in 2010 to 91 million vehicles in 2013, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 8%. According to J.D.
Power and Associates, these sales will be widely distributed globally with the highest growth coming from emerging markets. For example, J.D. Power and Associates expects vehicle sales for the BRIC markets (Brazil, Russia, India and China) to reach
36 million vehicles in 2013, representing a compound annual growth rate of 13% between 2010 and 2013. China is driving much of this expansion with an estimated 19 million vehicles expected to be sold in 2011.

Semiconductor content per vehicle is increasing driven by a combination of factors including government regulation of safety and
emissions, standardization of higher-end options across a greater number of vehicle classes and consumer demand for greater fuel efficiency and new comfort and multimedia applications. Automotive safety features have been evolving from passive
safety to integrated active and passive safety systems, with regulatory actions in North America, Europe, China and Korea driving increases in applications such as tire pressure monitoring, electronic stability control, occupant detection and
advanced driver assistance systems. This evolution is expected to continue at an accelerated rate. According to Strategy Analytics, a global research and consulting firm, the number of new vehicles with collision safety systems sold in North America
is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17.3%, from 5.9 million units in 2011 to 13.1 million units in 2016. In addition, the number of new vehicles with collision safety systems sold in China is expected to grow at a
compound annual growth rate of 25.2%, from 3.5 million units in 2011 to 10.6 million units in 2016. Semiconductor content is also increasing in engine management and fuel economy applications, occupant comfort and convenience systems and
user interface applications. In addition, the use of networking in automotive applications is increasing as various sub-systems communicate within the automobile and with devices and networks external to the automobile. Semiconductors enable
significant energy efficiency improvements in electric and hybrid vehicles, which can contain nearly double the dollar amount of electronics compared to a gasoline-only powered vehicle. According to Frost & Sullivan, a business and
consulting firm, the semiconductor market for electric and hybrid vehicles drive trains is expected to grow from $310 million in 2009 to $925 million in 2013 representing a 31% compound annual growth rate.

Networking Market

Growth in the networking market is being driven by strong consumer demand for digital content, increased enterprise adoption of advanced
video communications and the trend towards an increasingly global and mobile workforce that requires constant connectivity to real-time data. Wireless, enterprise and Internet traffic is rapidly increasing due to trends including greater adoption of
mobile Internet services and smart mobile devices, cloud computing, Internet protocol television and online gaming. New media-rich applications for both consumers and enterprises, like video sharing sites, social networks, HD movie downloads, video
conferencing and online gaming are the major drivers of this growth. According to Cisco Systems, Inc.s Visual Networking Index forecast, Internet video is expected to account for 91% of all consumer Internet traffic in 2014 and global mobile
data traffic is expected to double every year from 2009 through 2014. In the future, Internet delivery of video to TVs and mobile devices followed by cost-effective, HD interactive video communications is expected to fuel the growth of video traffic
over the Internet.

Service providers, enterprises and consumers are demanding wireless infrastructure, networking and
electronic equipment that can address the significant market opportunities created by these media-rich applications. As a result, there is growing demand on providers of wireless infrastructure, networking and storage equipment to rapidly introduce
new technologies and products with enhanced performance and functionality while reducing design and manufacturing costs. For example, in the wireless infrastructure market, equipment manufacturers are currently supplying carriers with wireless
infrastructure equipment based on long term evolution, or LTE, a 4G specification that provides downlink peak rates of at least 100 Mbps and uplink peak rates of at least 50 Mbps. This compares to currently prevailing 3G networks which have typical
downlink peak rates of 2 Mbps and uplink peak rates of approximately 200 kbps. These transitions highlight the need for networking semiconductor providers to deliver higher performance, high signal bandwidth, low-power multi-core solutions along
with enabling software, tools and reference designs targeting both the networking and smart mobile device markets.

Analog, Mixed-Signal and Power Management Integrated Circuits

Our analog, mixed-signal and power management ICs perform various functions, including driving actuators (such as in 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 electronic systems. These advanced analog and mixed-signal devices perform audio processing,
backlight management / control, power management, and charging functions. The product portfolio includes an array of System on Chip (SoC) solutions that allow the integration of significant amounts of digital processing logic in conjunction with
sophisticated analog functionality. Examples of how our analog and mixed-signal and power management semiconductors play a critical role in key applications include highly efficient and safe battery management for hybrid and all-electric vehicles
and power management ICs integrated with processors for consumer and industrial applications. These products are sold into all of our markets, frequently as part of our platform-level solutions, as well as specialized components.

Sensors

Sensors serve as a primary interface between an embedded system and the external environment. We provide several categories of
semiconductor-based sensors: pressure, inertial, magnetic and proximity sensors. We created the first inertial MEMS sensor for automotive airbags in the late 1980s and the first capacitive tire pressure sensor in 2003. More recently we created the
first digital barometric pressure sensor and the worlds first active safety 77 GHz integrated radar chipset technology in 2010. Our Xtrinsic smart sensor platform introduced in 2010 combines an inertial sensor, embedded processor with
connectivity and power management along with a reference software toolset for ease of design-in, that allows contextual based processing and decision intelligence. These products provide orientation detection, gesture recognition, tilt to scroll
functionality and position detection in mobile devices and gaming applications. Within automotive, our 77GHz radar sensor products enable the convergence of active and passive safety systems, our inertial sensors enable vehicle stability control and
our pressure sensors are well-positioned for continued growth in tire pressure monitoring.

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. Our distribution sales
network provides an opportunity for us to offer our products and services to a wider array of customers.

In 2010, 2009 and
2008, 83%, 83%, and 78% of our products were sold in countries other than the United States. Our net product sales in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Americas and Japan regions represented approximately 45%, 26%, 23% and 6%,
respectively, of our net sales in 2010. We believe the Asia-Pacific region represents a market growth opportunity for us and, accordingly, we continue to enhance our sales and marketing capabilities and infrastructure in China and India by
strengthening our direct sales force and expanding the scope of our distribution network.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities comprise both product and technology development. Our technology development programs, including
system-on-a-chip design and packaging and process technology, support our product design engineering efforts. Specialty process technologies are also designed to provide differentiation and competitive advantage, such as embedded memories
(particularly non-volatile), SMARTMOS, radio frequency and mixed-signal technologies. We believe that this approach allows us to apply our investments in design and packaging and process technologies across a broad portfolio of products.

We participate in alliances and other arrangements with external partners in the area of design technology, process technology,
manufacturing technology and materials development to reduce the cost of development and accelerate access to new technologies. We provide funding to the Semiconductor Research Corporation, a technology research consortium located in Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina. We also participate in collaborative research programs with CEA-LETI, an applied research center for microelectronics located in Grenoble, France, and with the GreenTouch Initiative, a research consortium whose goal is
to increase energy efficiency in information and communications and technology networks. We continually review our memberships in these technology research alliances and arrangements, and we may make changes from time to time. Our research and
development locations include facilities in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Romania, Russia, United Kingdom, China, India and Malaysia.

During 2010, we focused our research and development initiatives consistent with our strategy to focus on growth markets and key market
leadership positions where we believe attractive growth opportunities exist over the long-term. Following our decision in 2008 to gradually wind-down our cellular handset business, we reduced our research and development expenditures related to this
area. Research and development expense was $782 million, $833 million and $1,140 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Manufacturing

We manufacture our products either at our own facilities or
obtain manufacturing services from contract manufacturers. We currently manufacture a substantial portion of our products at our own facilities. We also utilize a balance of internal capabilities and contract manufacturing services for standard
complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes and high-volume products. This is intended to allow us to efficiently manage both our supply competitiveness and factory utilization in order to minimize the risk associated with market
fluctuations and maximize cash flow. Our internal manufacturing capabilities scale to 200-millimeter wafers and down to 90-nanometer technologies. Due to the increasing costs associated with the development and production of advanced technologies,
we outsource the

manufacturing of all of our technologies smaller than 90 nanometers. In addition, we have relationships with several wafer foundries and assembly and test subcontractors to provide flexibility
and ensure cost effectiveness in meeting our manufacturing needs. The capabilities of our partners span 200-millimeter and 300-millimeter wafer size and scale down to 45-nanometer technologies.

Semiconductor manufacturing is comprised of two broad stages: wafer manufacturing, or front-end, and assembly and test, or
back-end. Based on total units produced in 2010, approximately 25% of our front-end manufacturing was outsourced to wafer foundries. We outsourced approximately 39% of our back-end manufacturing to assembly and test subcontractors, based
on total units produced in 2010. Both of these percentages may change as our business and our product mix changes. We continually evaluate our manufacturing model in order to improve our supply competitiveness, gross margin and cash flows.

We own and operate seven manufacturing facilities, five of which are wafer fabrication facilities and the remaining two of
which are assembly and test facilities. These facilities are certified to the ISO/TS 16949:2002 international quality standards. This technical specification aligns existing U.S., German, French and Italian automotive quality system standards within
the global automotive industry. These operations also are certified to ISO 9001:2000. Our ISO 14001 management systems are designed to meet and exceed regulatory requirements. We have ISO 14001 certified manufacturing operations in the United
States, France, Japan, China and Malaysia. The following table describes our manufacturing facilities:

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. We, however, have experienced certain supply chain constraints in the past, and it is possible that we could experience supply chain
constraints in the future due to a sudden worldwide surge in demand or supply chain disruption.

Our technology approach is to
leverage multi-functional technical capabilities and innovation to create unique and differentiated products meeting customer requirements for systems and solutions. For our digital products such as digital signal processors, microprocessors and
MCUs, we use both industry-standard processes and standard processes enhanced by us and our partners. To develop sensors, analog power and radio frequency devices, we use specialized, differentiated in-house processes.

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 and our internal 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 through contract manufacturers, 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 conducting annual test drills. Generally, we maintain multiple sources of supply of qualified technologies. We also audit our suppliers compliance with their business continuity 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. 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 technology offered, product features, warranty, quality and availability of service, time-to-market, reputation and price. Our ability
to develop new products to meet customer requirements and to meet customer delivery schedules are also critical factors. We believe that 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 Electronics Corporation, STMicroelectronics, Microchip Technology Incorporated, Atmel Corporation, Analog Devices Incorporated, Cavium Networks, Inc. and Texas Instruments Incorporated.

Backlog

Our
backlog was $1.1 billion at December 31, 2010 compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2009. 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 orders expected to
be fulfilled during the next 13 weeks are reported. An order is removed from 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 and delivery schedules under outstanding purchase orders are frequently revised in response to changes in customer needs without significant penalty. 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, most of our order backlog is cancelable. For these reasons, the amount
of backlog as of any particular date is not the sole indicator of future results.

Intellectual Property

We depend significantly on patents and other intellectual property rights to protect our products and proprietary design and fabrication processes against infringement or misappropriation by others and to
ensure that we have the ability to generate royalty and other licensing revenues. 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. 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 nearly
11,500 issued and pending patents and numerous licenses, covering manufacturing processes, packaging technology, software systems and circuit design. When and if issued, patents are typically valid for 20 years from the date of filing the
application. We do not believe that any individual patent, or the expiration thereof, is or would be material to our business.

We generate revenues from licensing our patents and certain technologies to third parties. 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. In situations where we believe that a third party has infringed on our intellectual
property, we enforce our rights through appropriate legal means to the extent that we determine the potential benefits of such actions outweigh any costs involved.

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

Employees

As of
December 31, 2010, we employed approximately 19,000 full-time employees. Our U.S. employees are not 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 SEC, are risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from the results contemplated. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations.

We have a history of losses. If net sales
grow more slowly than anticipated and operational costs increase, we may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability.

We have high interest expense and amortization expense, and as a result, we have historically incurred net and operating losses. We may
not succeed in achieving or maintaining profitability on an annual basis and could continue to incur quarterly or annual losses in future periods. In addition, we expect to make significant expenditures related to the development of our products,
including research and development and sales and administrative expenses. We may also 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 net sales to achieve or maintain profitability. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and we may continue to incur significant losses.

We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant downturns. Failure to adjust our supply chain
volume due to changing market conditions or failure to estimate our customers demand could adversely affect our results of operations.

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, higher inventory levels and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. We have historically experienced
adverse effects on our profitability and cash flows during such downturns and may experience such downturns in the future. We may not be able to effectively respond to future effects which could have a material negative impact on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Likewise, 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, capital expenditures and logistical complexities.

##### Table of Contents

We make significant decisions, including determining the levels of business that we will
seek and accept, production schedules, levels of reliance on contract manufacturing and outsourcing, personnel needs and other resource requirements based on our estimates of customer requirements. The short-term nature of commitments by many of our
customers and the possibility of rapid changes in demand for their products reduces our ability to accurately estimate future customer requirements. Our results of operations could be impacted if we are unable to adjust our supply chain volume to
address market fluctuations, including those caused by the seasonal or cyclical nature of the markets in which we operate. The sale of our products is dependent, to a large degree, on customers whose industries are subject to seasonal or cyclical
trends in the demand for their products. For example, the consumer electronics market is particularly volatile and is subject to seasonality related to the holiday selling season, making demand difficult to forecast. On occasion, customers may
require rapid increases in production, which can challenge our resources and reduce margins. During a market upturn, we may not be able to purchase sufficient supplies or components, or secure sufficient contract manufacturing capacity, to meet
increasing product demand, which could harm our reputation, prevent us from taking advantage of opportunities and reduce net sales growth. In addition, some parts are not readily available from alternate suppliers due to their unique design or the
length of time necessary for design work.

In order to secure components for the production of products, we may continue to
enter into non-cancelable purchase commitments with vendors or make advance payments to suppliers, which could reduce our ability to adjust our inventory or expense levels during periods of declining market demand. Prior commitments of this type
have resulted in an excess of parts when demand for our products has decreased. Downturns in the semiconductor industry have in the past caused, and may in the future cause, our customers to reduce significantly the amount of products ordered from
us. If demand for our products is less than we expect, we may experience excess and obsolete inventories and be forced to incur additional charges. Because certain of our sales, research and development and internal manufacturing overhead expenses
are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand may decrease our gross margins and operating income.

Our operating results may be
adversely affected if economic conditions impact the financial viability of our customers, distributors or suppliers, particularly in the automotive industry.

We regularly review the financial performance of our customers, distributors and suppliers. However, global economic conditions may adversely impact the financial viability of and increase the credit
risk associated with our customers, distributors or suppliers. Customer insolvencies in key industries most affected by any economic downturn, such as the automotive industry, or the financial failure of a large customer or distributor, an important
supplier, or a group thereof, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could result in our inability to collect our accounts receivable.

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 their 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 products. 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 net sales 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. These 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 negatively impact 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 net sales 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 net sales. Finally, if our customers fail to successfully market and sell their products, it could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations as the
demand for our products falls.

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. Our growth objectives depend on competitive success and increased market share in our markets. 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.

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, joint ventures and other
alliances. 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 for Freescale.

We compete in our different product lines primarily on the basis of technology offered, product features, warranty, quality and availability of service, time-to-market, reputation and price. 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 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 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 44%, 46% and 54% of our net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. 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. Other than Continental AG and Motorola, no other end customer represented more than 10% of our total net sales in any of the last three years. Continental AG
represented 12% and 11% of our total net sales in 2010 and 2009, respectively, and Motorola represented 10% and 23% of our total net sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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, or particular products in those
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. Our largest end-markets are automotive, networking and industrial, and we also provide products to targeted consumer electronics markets. 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:



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



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



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



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



| |  |  | changes in consumer preferences;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | 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. In addition, there can be no assurance that particular products within these industries will experience the growth
in demand that we expect. The industries we serve could experience slower growth or a decline in demand, 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 U.S. Big 3 automakers declined significantly in 2008 and the first half of 2009. Shifts in demand away from U.S. and European automotive manufacturers or lower demand for U.S. and European automobiles could adversely affect our sales.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by significant price erosion, especially after a product
has been on the market for a significant period of time.

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. One of the results of the rapid innovation that is exhibited by the semiconductor industry
is that pricing pressure, especially on products containing older technology, can be intense. 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 our ability to effectively predict future demand. In order to profitably supply these products, we must
reduce our production costs in line with the lower net sales we can expect to receive per unit. Usually, this must be accomplished through improvements in process technology and production efficiencies. If we cannot advance our process technologies
or improve our efficiencies to a degree sufficient to maintain required margins, we will not be able to make a profit from the sale of these products. Moreover, we may not be able to cease production of such products, either due to contractual
obligations or for customer relationship reasons, and as a result may incur losses on such products.

We cannot guarantee that
competition in our core product markets will not lead to price erosion, lower net sales growth rates and lower margins in the future. Should reductions in our manufacturing costs fail to keep pace with reductions in market prices for the products we
sell, this could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, actual growth rates may be less than projected industry growth rates, 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.

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 net sales may decline and our business could be negatively impacted.

We 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 our debt agreements.

We are highly leveraged. As of December 31, 2010, our total consolidated indebtedness (all of which has been incurred by our subsidiaries) was approximately $7,618 million. We are a guarantor of
substantially all of this debt. Our subsidiaries also had an additional $27 million available for borrowing under a revolving credit facility. In addition, under the terms of the senior unsecured PIK-election notes due 2014, Freescale Inc., the
issuer of the PIK-election notes, has the option to utilize the payment-in-kind (PIK) feature of the outstanding PIK-election notes at the PIK interest rate of 9.875%, make a cash interest payment at the cash interest rate of 9.125%, or use an
evenly split combination of the two, for each interest payment period through December 15, 2011. In the event a PIK interest election is made, our consolidated debt will increase by the amount of such PIK interest. Freescale Inc. elected to pay
PIK interest for the interest period that ended June 15, 2010, and, as a result, Freescale Inc. increased the principal amount of the PIK-election notes by approximately $25 million on June 15, 2010. Freescale Inc. also elected to use the
PIK interest feature for the interest periods ending on June 15, 2009 and December 15, 2009, resulting in an increase in principal amount of approximately $53 million in 2009. Freescale Inc. paid the December 15, 2010 interest
payment, and has elected to pay the June 15, 2011 interest payment, in cash.

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 credit facilities and the
senior unsecured 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;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At December 31, 2010, our indebtedness included (i) a revolving credit facility with a committed capacity of $590 million, and
$532 million outstanding thereunder, excluding letters of credit and a non-funding commitment attributable to Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (LCPI), which filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on October 5, 2008, which will be available through December 1, 2012, at which time all outstanding principal amounts under the revolving credit facility will be due and payable;
(ii) $2,237 million outstanding under a term loan due December 1, 2016, which maturity accelerates to September 1, 2014 if (a) on such date the aggregate principal amount of Freescale Inc.s senior unsecured notes due 2014 exceeds
$500 million and (b) Freescale Inc.s total leverage ratio as of June 30, 2014 (as calculated under the senior credit facilities) is greater than 4:1; (iii) $1,198 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under senior unsecured notes
due 2014; (iv) $764 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under senior subordinated notes due 2016; (v) $2,130 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under senior secured notes due 2018; and (vi) $750 million
aggregate principal amount outstanding under senior unsecured notes due 2020.

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 our outstanding 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, an additional $27 million was available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2010, and under the PIK-election notes, Freescale Inc. has the option to utilize the PIK interest feature, make a
cash interest payment, or use an evenly split combination of the two, for each interest payment period through December 15, 2011. In the event a PIK interest election is made, our consolidated debt will increase by the amount of such PIK
interest.

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 would need to take other action to satisfy our obligations or be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Our cash interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $537 million, $444 million and $671 million,
respectively. This does not include PIK interest accrued or paid on the PIK-election notes. 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, holders of our
debt could declare all outstanding principal and interest due and payable and, in the case of our secured debt, foreclose against the assets securing the debt, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

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 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. Furthermore, 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 and, even if permitted, we may not be able to consummate any such dispositions, which could result in our inability to meet our debt service obligations. Much of our debt
requires, and our future debt may also require, us to repurchase such debt upon an event that would constitute a change of control for the purposes of such debt. We may not be able to meet these repurchase obligations because we may
not have sufficient financial resources to do so. Our failure to meet our repurchase obligations upon a change of control would cause a default under the agreements governing our debt.

Increases in interest rates could adversely affect our financial condition.

An increase in prevailing interest rates could adversely affect our financial condition. LIBOR (the interest rate index on which our
variable rate debt is based) fluctuates on a regular basis. At December 31, 2010, we had approximately $2,826 million aggregate principal amount of variable interest rate indebtedness under the senior unsecured floating rate notes and the
senior credit facilities. Any increased interest expense associated with increases in interest rates affects our cash flow and our ability to service our debt. Based on our variable interest rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2010, a 1%
increase in LIBOR rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $28 million. As a protection against rising interest rates, we have entered and may in the future enter into agreements such as interest rate swap and cap contracts.
However, the other parties to the agreements may fail to perform; the terms may be unfavorable to us depending on rate movements; and, such agreements may not completely protect us from increased interest expense in a particular situation.

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

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



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



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



| |  |  | 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 our debt agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and, in the case of the revolving
credit facility, terminate any commitments to extend further credit. Such actions by the lenders under any one of our debt agreements could cause cross defaults under our other indebtedness. If we were unable to repay amounts due to the lenders
under the senior credit facilities or the senior secured notes, those lenders 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 credit
facilities and senior secured notes. If our lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay our debt obligations.

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 indebtedness, since we are required to use a significant portion of our cash flow to service our 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 capital on
favorable terms when needed, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially negatively impacted.

Our
gross margin is dependent on a number of factors, including our level of capacity utilization.

Semiconductor
manufacturing requires significant capital investment, leading to high fixed costs, including depreciation expense. Notwithstanding our utilization of third-party contract manufacturers, a majority of our production requirements are met by our own
manufacturing facilities. If we are unable to utilize our manufacturing facilities at a high level, the fixed costs associated with these facilities will not be fully absorbed, resulting in higher average unit costs and lower gross margins. In the
past, we have experienced periods where our gross margins declined due to, among other things, reduced factory utilization resulting from reduced customer demand, reduced selling prices and a change in product mix towards lower margin devices.
Market conditions in the future may 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. In
addition, increased competition and the existence of product alternatives, more complex engineering requirements, lower demand and other factors may lead to further price erosion, lower net sales and lower margins for us in the future.

We outsource a portion of our manufacturing activities to third-party contract manufacturers. If our
production or manufacturing capacity at one of these third-party facilities is delayed, interrupted or eliminated, we may not be able to satisfy customer demand.

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 25% of our wafer
fabrication and approximately 39% of our assembly, packaging and testing in 2010 to third-party contract manufacturers. If production or manufacturing capacity is delayed, reduced or eliminated at one or more of these facilities, manufacturing could
be disrupted, we could have difficulties or delays in fulfilling our customer orders, and our sales could decline. In addition, if a third-party contract manufacturer fails to deliver quality products and components on time and at reasonable prices,
we could 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 net sales or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A reduction or disruption in our production capacity or our supplies, or an incorrect forecast, could negatively impact our business.

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 delays in delivery and product quality. 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. 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 twelve 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. In connection with our decision to eliminate our 150mm
manufacturing capability, we are currently transitioning certain technologies to our other manufacturing facilities and contract manufacturers.

##### Table of Contents

We have a concentration of manufacturing (including assembly and test) in Asia, primarily in
China, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea, 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. 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.

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 2010, 2009 and 2008, 83%, 83% and 78% of our products were sold into countries other than the United States, respectively. 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;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the instability of international 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;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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



| |  |  | differing labor standards and laws;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | 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;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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

International financial crisis and conflicts are creating many economic and political uncertainties that are impacting the global
economy. A continued escalation of international financial crisis and 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 as compared to the
level of protection available in the United States. In addition, as we target increased sales in Asia, differing levels of protection of our intellectual property in Asian countries could have a significant negative impact on our business. 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. As a result, we may lose some or all of the competitive
advantage we have over our competitors in such countries.

A majority of our products are
manufactured in Asia, primarily in China, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea, and a significant portion of our new design wins in 2010 were awarded in Asia, particularly in China. Any of the factors set forth above impacting these countries, or any
other conflict or uncertainty in these countries, including due to political unrest, public health or safety concerns 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.

We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights or demands
that we license third-party technology, which could impair our freedom to operate or result in significant expense to defend against such claims or obtain a license to such technology.

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 and collaborators), 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, including royalties on sales of our products);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

| |  |  | comply with the terms of import restrictions imposed by the International Trade Commission (ITC), 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.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

We depend significantly on intellectual
property to protect our technologies and products.

We depend significantly on patents and other intellectual property
rights to protect our products and proprietary design and fabrication processes against infringement or misappropriation by others and to ensure that we have the ability to generate royalty and other licensing revenue. 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. 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 nearly 11,500 issued and pending patents and numerous licenses, covering manufacturing processes, packaging
technology, software systems and circuit design. We cannot ensure that any of our currently filed or future patent applications will result in issued patents, or even if issued, predict the scope of the claims that may issue in our patents. We do
not believe that any individual patent, or the expiration thereof, is or would be material to our business.

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 generate revenue from licensing our patents and manufacturing technologies to third parties. Our future intellectual property revenue
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. In the past, we have found it necessary to engage in litigation with other companies
to force those companies to execute 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 our patents or trade secrets fail to protect our technology, we could lose some or all of our competitive advantage, which would enable 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.

We
obtain some of the intellectual property we use in our operations through license agreements with third parties. Some of these license agreements 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 in the event of a change of control, our rights to use intellectual property licensed under those agreements may be at risk. If any material
license agreements are terminated or expire, we could lose the right to use the subject intellectual property, which could result in a negative impact on our ability to manufacture and sell some of our existing products.

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 and medical industries 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 recall or product liability claim brought against us could have a material negative impact on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to liabilities as a result of personal injury claims based on alleged links between the semiconductor manufacturing process and
certain illnesses and birth defects.

In the last few years, there has been increased litigation, media scrutiny and
associated reports focusing on an alleged link between working in semiconductor manufacturing clean room environments and certain illnesses and birth defects. Because we utilize these clean rooms, we may become subject to liability as a result of
current and future claims alleging personal injury. A significant judgment against us or material defense costs could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

Our net sales 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;

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.

The failure to implement, as
well as the completion and impact of, our transformation program could adversely affect our business.

Since 2008 we
have significantly transformed our business and market strategy. This transformation program has included strengthening our senior leadership team, winding down our cellular business, restructuring research and development efforts, streamlining our
manufacturing footprint, and improving our capital structure, including activities in connection with our reorganization of business program. In the past, we have realized significant annualized cost savings as a result of these activities. However,
we cannot assure you that future initiatives relating to our transformation program will be successfully implemented, will result in similar cost savings or will materially impact our profitability. In addition, cost savings from measures yet to be
finalized may be lower than we currently anticipate, and they may or may not be realized on our anticipated timeline. For example, if the closure of our 150mm fabrication facilities in either Toulouse, France or Sendai, Japan is delayed
beyond 2011, the anticipated cost savings would be delayed, and we would continue to incur inventory and other costs related to the operation of those facilities. Moreover, because these transformation activities involve changes to many aspects of
our business, the cost reductions could adversely impact productivity and sales to an extent we have not anticipated. Even if we fully execute and implement these activities and they generate the anticipated cost savings, there may be other
unforeseeable and unintended factors or consequences that could adversely impact our profitability and business, including unintended employee attrition.

We have recorded significant charges for reorganization of business activities, interest expense and amortization expense in the past and may do so again in the future, which could have a material
negative impact on our business.

In 2009 and 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 $345 million and $320 million, respectively. 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 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 may engage in acquisitions, joint ventures and other transactions intended to complement or expand our business. We
may not be able to complete these transactions and, if executed, these transactions could 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 we believe 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;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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.

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. Future 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.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in tax-related matters.

We conduct operations in more than 30 countries worldwide and as a result are subject to taxation and audit by a
number of taxing authorities. Tax rates vary among the jurisdictions in which we operate. Changes in tax laws, regulations, and related interpretations in the countries in which we operate may adversely affect our results of operations. Our results
of operations could also be affected by market opportunities or decisions we make that cause us to increase or decrease operations in one or more countries, or by changes in applicable tax rates or audits by the taxing authorities in countries in
which we operate.

In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations in various jurisdictions that determine how much profit
has been earned and when it is subject to taxation in that jurisdiction. Changes in these laws and regulations could affect the locations where we are deemed to earn income, which could in turn adversely affect our results of operations. We have
deferred tax assets on our balance sheet. Changes in applicable tax laws and regulations or in our business performance could affect our ability to realize those deferred tax assets, which could also adversely affect our results of operations.

We currently operate under tax holidays and favorable tax incentives in certain foreign
jurisdictions. Such tax holidays and incentives often require us to meet specified employment and investment criteria in such jurisdictions. We cannot assure you that we will continue to meet such criteria or enjoy such tax holidays and incentives,
or realize any net tax benefits from these tax holidays or incentives. If any of our tax holidays or incentives are terminated, our results of operations may be materially and negatively impacted.

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. We could incur significant costs as a
result of any failure by us to comply with, or any liability we may incur under, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including the limitation or suspension of production, monetary fines or civil or criminal sanctions, clean-up
costs 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 Directive) bans the placing on the European Union 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. We also are subject to cleanup obligations at certain
properties. 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 at these or other sites for which we are
responsible, we may be required to take remedial or other measures that 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, are currently incurring, and may in the future incur, costs defending against environmental
litigation brought by government agencies and private parties. We have been, are, and may be in the future, 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 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, logistics providers and other sub-contractors in geologically unstable locations around the world. This reliance involves risks associated with the
impact of earthquakes on us 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, or any disruption in the operations of our logistic providers as a result of fire, natural disaster,
unavailability of utilities or otherwise, could have a material negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We believe that all of our facilities and equipment are in good condition, are well maintained and are adequate for our present
operations.

We have a concentration of manufacturing (including assembly and test) in Asia, primarily in China, Japan,
Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea, 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.

##### Table of Contents

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
business, including tort, contractual and customer disputes, claims before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other employee grievances, and intellectual property litigation and infringement claims. Under agreements with
Motorola, Freescale Inc. must indemnify Motorola for certain liabilities related to our business incurred prior to our separation from Motorola.

Panasonic Corporation is a former Freescale Inc. licensee and paid royalties to Freescale Inc. for use of Freescale Inc. intellectual property under a patent license agreement that expired January 1,
2007. Since the expiration of that license, Panasonic has been operating without a license to Freescale Inc. patents. After protracted license renewal negotiations which were not successful, Freescale Inc. filed several lawsuits against Panasonic
and others, each asserting that Panasonic is infringing various Freescale Inc. patents. On March 1, 2010, Freescale Inc. filed one lawsuit in the ITC seeking an exclusion order barring the importation of accused products into the United States,
and two lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (Austin) seeking unspecified monetary damages. On April 1, 2010, Panasonic filed related lawsuits against Freescale Inc. and others, asserting that Freescale
Inc. infringes various Panasonic patents. One of these lawsuits filed in the ITC seeks an exclusion order barring the importation of accused products into the United States, and two lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for New Jersey
seek unspecified monetary damages. On April 7, 2010, Panasonic filed an additional lawsuit against Freescale Inc. in Tokyo, Japan seeking an injunction prohibiting importation of accused products into Japan. On February 10, 2011, Freescale
Inc. and Panasonic executed a settlement agreement, including a mutual release and cross-license, that terminates and resolves the ITC actions and all related lawsuits between Freescale Inc. and Panasonic. As part of the cross-license, Panasonic
agreed to pay Freescale Inc. a license fee for certain patent licenses.

On December 1, 2010, Rambus, Inc. filed a
complaint in the ITC against Freescale Inc., Broadcom Corporation, LSI Corporation, Nvidia Corporation, STMicroelectronics, Mediatek Inc. and 22 other customer respondents alleging, among other things, that certain products of Freescale Inc.
infringe patents owned by Rambus relating to double data rate memory controller interfaces and PCI Express technology. This ITC complaint seeks an exclusion order barring the importation of accused products into the United States. Also on
December 1, 2010, Rambus filed related lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Freescale Inc. and certain other respondents alleging, among other things, that certain Freescale Inc. products
infringe on the same patents involved with the ITC matter and other patents owned by Rambus. Rambus seeks unspecified money damages, enhanced damages, and injunctive relief.

The resolution of intellectual property litigation, including those matters described above, may require us to pay damages for past infringement or to obtain a license under the other partys
intellectual property rights that could require one-time license fees or ongoing royalties, require us to make material changes to our products and/or manufacturing processes, require us to cross-license certain of our patents or other intellectual
property and/or prohibit us from manufacturing or selling one or more products in certain jurisdictions, which could adversely impact our operating results in future periods. If any of those events were to occur, our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations in the United States and other 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. 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 at certain
locations in the past, and has been engaged in investigations, administrative proceedings and/or cleanup processes with respect to past chemical releases into the environment. Freescale Inc. agreed to indemnify Motorola for certain environmental
liabilities related to its business, including the sites described below. Potential future liability (excluding costs spent to date) at these or other sites for which we are responsible 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 Freescale 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. In addition, the EPA recently announced it will conduct vapor intrusion studies in residential areas adjacent to the
52nd Street facility. Because these investigations are in the early stages, we cannot predict at this time whether or to what extent we may be held liable for cleanup at Operable Unit Three, or whether any such 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, which assumed primary responsibility for this matter in 2004 under the states Water Quality Assurance Revolving Fund Program.

We have not paid cash dividends on our common shares in the last two years. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of
our future earnings, if any, for use in the development and expansion of our business, reducing our debt and for general corporate purposes. In addition, our ability to pay cash dividends on our common shares or to receive distributions or other
transfers from our subsidiaries to enable us to pay cash dividends on our common shares may be limited by restrictions under the terms of the agreements governing our and our subsidiaries existing and future outstanding indebtedness, including
the senior credit facilities and the indentures governing Freescale Inc.s notes. Subject to the foregoing, the payment of dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon such factors as
earnings levels, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, our overall financial condition and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. In addition, pursuant to Bermuda law and our bye-laws, no dividends may be declared or
paid if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (i) we are, or would after the payment be, unable to pay our liabilities as they become due; or (ii) that the realizable value of our assets would thereby be less than the aggregate
of our liabilities, our issued share capital and our share premium accounts.

|(4) | In 2008, in connection with the termination of our agreement with Motorola, the significant decline in the market capitalization of the public companies in our peer
group as of December 31, 2008, our then announced 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. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of $5,350 million and $1,631 million associated with goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. During 2007, we began discussions
regarding an existing supply agreement with Motorola and concluded that indicators of impairment existed related to the intangible assets associated with our wireless business. As a result, we recorded a $449 million impairment charge related to
these assets in 2007.

|(5) | Costs associated with the 2006 acquisition by a consortium of private equity funds included (i) the redemption of outstanding notes, (ii) share-based compensation due
to accelerated vesting of stock options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights awards, (iii) various professional fees and (iv) employee compensation and payroll taxes. Amount for 2008 reflects expenses related to our acquisition of
SigmaTel, Inc. and other merger related items.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(6) | Charges recorded in 2010 primarily reflect a net pre-tax charge of $432 million attributable to the write-off of remaining original issue discount and unamortized debt
issuance costs along with other charges not eligible for capitalization associated with the refinancing activities completed in 2010. These charges were partially offset by a $15 million net pre-tax gain related to open-market repurchases of
Freescale Inc.s existing notes during the period. Gains recorded during 2009 primarily reflect a $2,264 million net pre-tax gain recorded in the first quarter of 2009 in connection with the debt exchange completed during the period. Gains
recorded during 2008 reflect the net pre-tax gain related to open market repurchases of Freescale Inc.s existing notes. The charge recorded in the predecessor period reflects the loss related to the full redemption of our floating rate notes
due 2009.

discussion of our results of operations and financial condition in conjunction with our accompanying audited 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. As used herein, Freescale Inc. means Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and main U.S. operating entity. We
refer to our principal shareholder, Freescale Holdings L.P., as Freescale LP, its general partner, Freescale Holdings G.P., Ltd., as Freescale GP, our direct subsidiary, Freescale Semiconductor Holdings II, Ltd., as
Holdings II and our indirect subsidiaries, Freescale Semiconductor Holdings III, Ltd., Freescale Semiconductor Holdings IV, Ltd. and Freescale Semiconductor Holdings V, Inc., as Holdings III, Holdings IV and
Holdings V, respectively.

Overview

Our Business. We are the global leader in embedded processing semiconductors and solutions. Our embedded processor products include microcontrollers, single-and multi-core microprocessors,
applications processors and digital signal processors. They provide the core functionality of electronic systems, adding essential control and intelligence, enhancing performance and optimizing power usage while lowering system costs. We also offer
complementary semiconductor products, including radio frequency, power management, analog, mixed-signal devices and sensors. A key element of our strategy is to combine our embedded processors, complementary semiconductor devices and software to
offer highly integrated platform-level solutions that are increasingly sought by our customers to simplify their development efforts and shorten their time to market. We have a heritage of innovation and product leadership spanning over 50 years and
have an extensive intellectual property portfolio, including nearly 11,500 issued and pending patents which allow us to serve our more than 18,000 customers through our direct sales force and distribution partners.

Our broad product portfolio falls into three primary groupings, Microcontroller Solutions (MSG), Networking and Multimedia
(NMG) and Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensor (RASG). We sell our products directly to original equipment manufacturers, distributors, original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers through our global direct sales
force. Our ten largest end customers accounted for approximately 44%, 46% and 54% of our net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Other than Continental AG and Motorola, no other end customer represented more than 10% of our total net sales
for any of the last three years. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, 83%, 83% and 78% of our products were sold in countries other than the United States. Our net product sales in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Americas and Japan
regions represented approximately 45%, 26%, 23% and 6%, respectively, of our net sales in 2010.

The trend of increasing
connectivity and the need for enhanced intelligence in existing and new markets are the primary drivers of the growth of embedded processing solutions in electronic devices. The majority of our net sales is derived from our three primary groupings.
Our MSG product line represents the largest component of our total net sales. Microcontrollers and associated application development systems represented approximately 36%, 32% and 31% of our total net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Demand for our microcontroller products is driven by the automotive, consumer and industrial markets. The automotive end market accounted for 64%, 64% and 65% of MSGs net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our NMG
product line, which includes communications processors and digital signal processors, networked multimedia devices and application processors, represented 28%, 27% and 22% of our total net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our primary end
markets for our network and multimedia products are communications infrastructure for enterprise and service provider markets, processors for industrial applications, and application processors for the mobile consumer and driver information system
markets. Our RASG product line, which includes radio frequency devices, analog devices and sensors, represented 24%, 23% and 20% of our total net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Demand for these products is driven by the automotive,
consumer, industrial, wireless infrastructure, and computer peripherals markets. The automotive end market accounted for 55%, 49% and 53% of the Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensor groups sales in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Conditions Impacting Our Business.Our business is significantly impacted by demand for electronic content in
automobiles, networking and wireless infrastructure equipment and other electronic devices. During 2010, we experienced significant demand improvement and net sales growth. As a result, we selectively increased headcount and capital expenditures to
meet the required increase in production. We increased our headcount by approximately 9% during 2010, and our capital expenditures were approximately 6% of our net sales in 2010 as compared to 2% in 2009. We also terminated certain austerity
measures (executive salary reductions, mandatory time off without pay, savings plan company match elimination in countries where lawfully allowed, and certain other employee benefit curtailments) effective January 1, 2010, as a result of improving
business conditions. However, over the course of 2010, we also faced certain supply chain constraints consistent with general conditions in the semiconductor industry. This resulted in higher production and shipping costs and higher material costs.

Net sales in 2010 were up 27% over the prior year, with
growth in all geographic regions in which we operate, excluding Japan. The increase in net sales in 2010 was broad-based, demonstrating strength in each of our MSG, NMG and RASG product groups. In 2010, MSG product sales grew 43%, or $480 million;
NMG product sales grew 33%, or $304 million; and RASG product sales grew 30%, or $242 million; in each case as compared to 2009. The significant growth in our MSG and RASG product portfolios was attributable primarily to the continued recovery of
the global automotive markets, including significant increases in light vehicle production over the prior year. Our automotive net sales in 2010 increased by 44% compared to the prior year, in line with market growth rates. Within our NMG business,
our communications processor and digital signal processors products, which are sold into enterprise and service provider markets, also contributed a substantial portion of product sales growth, along with higher net sales in our emerging multimedia
business. In addition, the continued general economic recovery fueled stronger consumer and industrial product sales in our MSG and RASG products.

In 2009 and 2008, our business was significantly impacted by the global economic downturn. Decreased global automotive demand and production cuts in the automotive markets as well as reduced demand in the
consumer and industrial market negatively impacted our results. We experienced lower net sales and profitability, as well as lower factory utilization compared to peak levels because of the downturn in general and our position as an electronic
content provider to the automotive industry. In addition, our decision in 2008 to gradually wind down our cellular handset business and to restructure our relationship with Motorola, whereby it agreed to pay certain consideration to us in exchange
for our terminating its remaining minimum purchase commitment obligations, resulted in substantial declines in cellular products sales beginning in the second half of 2008. We expect our net sales from the Cellular Products group to continue to
decline.

Going forward, our business will continue to be highly dependent on demand for electronic content in automobiles,
networking and wireless infrastructure equipment and other electronic devices. We operate in an industry that is cyclical and subject to constant and rapid technological change, product obsolescence, price erosion, evolving standards, short product
life-cycles and fluctuations in product supply and demand. Following the severe downturn in economic conditions in 2008 and the beginning of 2009, we experienced sequential quarterly increases in net sales in each quarter beginning the third quarter
of 2009. We are currently experiencing more balance in our demand and inventory levels, and we expect overall market conditions to return to a more normalized level. As a result, in the near term, we do not expect to continue to experience the
growth levels in our business that we experienced in 2010. Net sales in future periods will depend on a continued general global economic recovery, our ability to meet unscheduled or temporary increases in demand, and our ability to achieve design
wins and meet product development launch cycles in our targeted markets, among other factors. For more information on trends and other factors affecting our business, see the Risk Factors section included elsewhere in this report.

Reorganization of Business Program. As a result of the downturn in global economic conditions, beginning in
2008, we began executing a series of restructuring actions that are referred to as the Reorganization of Business Program that streamlined our cost structure and redirected some research and development investments into expected growth
markets. These actions have reduced our workforce in our supply chain, research and development, sales, marketing and general and administrative functions. As of December 31, 2010, with the exception of the completion of our 150mm exit strategy
described below, we had completed the majority of these restructuring actions.

In the second quarter of 2009 and as a part of
this program, we announced that we were executing a plan to exit our remaining 150mm manufacturing capability, as we have experienced a migration from 150mm technologies and products to more advanced technologies and products. The long-term trend in
declining overall demand for the bulk of the products served by our 150mm fabrication facilities has resulted in low factory utilization. This decline in demand was accelerated by the weaker global economic climate in 2008 and 2009. Accordingly, we
closed our 150mm fabrication facility in East Kilbride, Scotland in the second quarter of 2009. We have also announced the closure of both our 150mm fabrication facility in Toulouse, France and our 150mm fabrication facility in Sendai, Japan, which
we expect to complete in the fourth quarter of 2011. We estimate the costs of these closures to be approximately $200 million, including approximately $190 million in cash severance costs and $10 million in cash costs for other exit expenses. We
anticipate substantially all of these costs to be paid over the course of 2011 and through the first half of 2012; however, the timing of these payments depends on many factors, including as the actual closing dates and local employment laws, and
actual amounts paid may vary based on currency fluctuation. We expect these actions to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $120 million, which we expect to fully realize by the end of 2012. However actual cost savings realized and the
timing thereof will depend on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. Actual savings realized could differ materially from our estimates.

Debt Restructuring Activities. During 2010 and 2009, we undertook several debt
restructuring initiatives that have enabled us to reduce our long-term debt and extend the maturity of a significant portion of our outstanding indebtedness. In the first quarter of 2009, Freescale Inc. refinanced approximately $2,083 million of its
senior notes due 2014 and $746 million of its senior subordinated notes due 2016 with approximately $924 million of incremental term loans due 2016 which were borrowed under its senior credit facilities in a transaction we refer to as the debt
exchange. In addition, in the first quarter of 2010, Freescale Inc. amended its senior credit facilities and extended the maturity of $2,265 million of term loans thereunder to 2016 (subject to acceleration to 2014 in certain circumstances),
and used the proceeds from the issuance of $750 million in senior secured notes due 2018 to repay a like amount of debt outstanding under the senior credit facilities in a transaction we refer to as the amend and extend. Also, in the
second quarter of 2010, Freescale Inc. issued $1,380 million of senior secured notes due 2018 and used the proceeds, plus cash on hand, to prepay the remaining balances under the original maturity term loans and the incremental term loans under the
senior credit facilities, and in the third quarter of 2010, it issued $750 million of senior unsecured notes due 2020 and used the proceeds to repurchase a like amount of its existing senior unsecured notes due 2014. We refer to the 2010 second and
third quarter transactions collectively as our other 2010 debt refinancing activities. We have also been opportunistically repurchasing Freescale Inc.s existing notes in the open market. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, we repurchased
$213 million, $99 million and $177 million, respectively, of existing notes. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources below for additional information.

Effect of Acquisition Accounting. On December 1, 2006, Freescale Inc. was acquired by a consortium of private equity funds in a transaction we refer to as the Merger. The
consortium included The Blackstone Group, The Carlyle Group, funds advised by Permira Advisers, LLC, TPG Capital and others, which we refer to as our Sponsors. In connection with the Merger, Freescale Inc. incurred significant
indebtedness. In addition, the purchase price paid in connection with the Merger was 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 trademarks / tradenames, customer relationships, developed technology / purchased licenses, and in-process research and development (IPR&D) (which was
expensed in the financial statements after the consummation of the Merger), 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 significantly increased. During 2008, however, we incurred substantial non-cash impairment charges against the intangible assets established at the time of the Merger. This reduced the post-Merger increase in our non-cash
amortization charges, although they are still above historical levels. The term PPA refers to the effect of acquisition accounting. Certain PPA impacts are recorded in our cost of sales and affect our gross margin and income from
operations, and other PPA impacts are recorded in our operating expenses and only affect our income from operations.

Selected Statement of
Operations Items

Orders

Orders are placed by customers for delivery for up to as much as 12 months in the future. However, only orders expected to be fulfilled during the 13 weeks following the last day of a quarter are included
in orders for that quarter. Orders presented as of the end of a year are the sum of orders for each of the quarters in that fiscal year. 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, most of our orders are cancelable. We track orders because we believe that it provides visibility into our potential future net sales.

Net Sales

Our net sales are derived from the sale of our embedded processors and other semiconductor products and the licensing of our intellectual
property. The majority of our net sales are derived from our three major product groups: MSG, NMG and RASG. We also derive net sales from our Cellular Products group and Other, which consists of foundry wafer sales to other semiconductor
companies, intellectual property net sales, product net sales associated with end markets outside of our product design group target markets and net sales from sources other than semiconductors. We sell our products primarily through our direct
sales force. We also use distributors for a portion of our sales and recognize net sales upon the delivery of our products to the distributors. Distributor net sales is reduced for estimated returns and distributor sales incentives.

Cost of sales

Cost of
sales are costs incurred in providing products and services to our customers. These costs consist primarily of the cost of semiconductor wafers and other materials, the cost of assembly and test operations, shipping and handling costs associated
with product sales and provisions for estimated costs related to product warranties (which are made at the time the related sale is recorded based on historic trends).

We currently manufacture a substantial portion of our products internally at our five 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 estimated net realizable value.

Gross margin

Our gross margin is significantly 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 increase, there is more operating leverage because fixed manufacturing costs are spread over higher output. We experienced a significant increase in our utilization rate to 75% in the fourth quarter of
2010 compared to 60% in the fourth quarter of 2009 due to increased demand for our products.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses are costs incurred in the selling and marketing of our products and services
to customers, corporate overhead and other operating costs. Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and associated costs for sales and marketing personnel, costs of advertising, trade shows and corporate marketing. General and
administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and associated costs for executive management, finance, human resources, information technology and other administrative personnel, outside professional fees and other corporate expenses.

Research and development

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and include the cost of activities attributable
to development and pre-production efforts associated with designing, developing and testing new or significantly enhanced products or process and packaging technology. These costs consist primarily of compensation and associated costs for our
engineers engaged in the design and development of our products and technologies: amortization of purchased technology; engineering design development software and hardware tools; depreciation of equipment used in research and development; software
to support new products and design environments; project material costs; and third-party fees paid to consultants.

Amortization expense
for acquired intangible assets

Amortization expense for acquired intangible assets consists primarily of the amortization
of assets acquired as a part of the Merger. They are being amortized on a straight line basis over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from two to ten years. The useful lives of the intangible assets were established in connection with
the allocation of fair values at December 2, 2006.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009

Net Sales

Our net sales
of $4,458 million and orders of $4,631 million in 2010 increased 27% and 25%, respectively, compared to the prior year. We experienced higher net sales in all of the product design groups (except Cellular Products and Other) as a result of
(i) increased production in the global automotive industry, (ii) increased demand from our distribution supply chain customers for consumer and industrial products, (iii) strong demand in the enterprise and service provider markets of
our core networking business, and (iv) an increase in consumer spending affecting multimedia products. Distribution sales were approximately 23% of our total net sales in 2010 and increased 41% compared to the prior year, due primarily to
increased demand in the consumer and industrial markets for products purchased through the distribution channel. Distribution inventory, in dollars and units, was 11.8 weeks and 10.0 weeks, respectively, of net sales at December 31, 2010,
compared to 11.4 weeks and 8.0 weeks, respectively, of net sales at December 31, 2009. Net sales by product group for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

Microcontroller Solutions Group (MSG)

MSGs net sales increased by $480 million, or 43%, in 2010 compared to the prior year, as a result of an increase in
worldwide automotive production. For example, global and U.S. Big 3 light vehicle production increased by 23% and 49%, respectively. This increase was attributable to the recovery in U.S. and global automotive sales and the broader industrial
market. We also experienced an increase in 2010 in MSGs net sales associated with consumer and industrial products purchased primarily through our distribution channel compared to the prior year.

Networking and Multimedia Group (NMG)

NMGs net sales increased by $304 million, or 33%, in 2010 compared to the prior year. This increase was attributable
primarily to a broad-based increase in core networking net sales in major markets, with particular strength in the enterprise and service provider markets. In addition, multimedia products sales grew over the prior year driven by strength in
consumer smart mobile devices and driver information system applications.

Radio Frequency, Analog and Sensors Group
(RASG)

RASGs net sales increased by $242 million, or 30%, in 2010 compared to the prior year,
attributable primarily to higher demand for both analog and sensor products resulting from a rise in worldwide automotive production. RASGs net sales increased by 45% in the automotive marketplace in 2010 compared to the prior year,
predominantly as a result of increased light vehicle sales. Higher demand for our analog products also fueled an increase in our consumer business in 2010 over the prior year and is reflective of the continued general economic recovery. We also
experienced an increase in radio frequency product net sales in 2010 compared to the prior year. This increase was attributable primarily to a period of increased spending in Chinas wireless infrastructure investment cycle.

Cellular Products

Cellular Products net sales declined by $16 million, or 3%, in 2010 compared to the prior year due in part to the change in sales mix between our remaining customers. We expect our net sales from Cellular
Products to continue to decline due to our gradual winding down of this business which began in 2008.

##### Table of Contents

Other

Other net sales decreased by $60 million, or 33%, in 2010 compared to the prior year, due primarily to a $38 million, or
52%, decrease in foundry wafer sales in connection with the expiration of a manufacturing contract with a customer, coupled with a $13 million, or 15%, decline in intellectual property revenue. As a percentage of sales, intellectual property revenue
was 2% for both of 2010 and 2009.

Gross Margin

In 2010, our gross margin increased $745 million compared to the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin in 2010 was 37.9%, reflecting an increase of 11.0 percentage points compared to
2009. This increase was attributable to higher net sales and an increase in factory utilization of approximately 15 percentage points as compared to the end of 2009. The increase in factory utilization and a $112 million decrease in depreciation and
amortization expense positively impacted gross margin, as we experienced greater operating leverage of our fixed manufacturing costs. In addition, in connection with increasing our capacity to meet current demand, our manufacturing and supply chain
operations workforce has increased 13% since the end of 2009. Manufacturing-related expenses, including tool maintenance and support, purchased parts and production supplies, were also higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 as a result of increased
production volumes. We also experienced increases in other costs, including shipping and expedite fees, to ensure we met our customers increasing demand requirements during 2010. Our gross margin included PPA impact and depreciation acceleration
related to the planned closure of our 150 millimeter manufacturing facilities of $156 million in 2010 and $228 million in 2009.

Selling,
General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3 million, or 1%, in 2010 compared
to the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of higher incentive compensation associated with our increased net sales and improved performance, increased spending on select sales and marketing programs, and the termination of austerity
measures at the beginning of 2010. These increases were almost entirely offset by focused cost restructuring in the information technology function, a decrease in litigation costs and the realization of cost savings associated with workforce
reductions. On average, our headcount in the selling, general and administrative areas fell by approximately 6% in 2010 compared to 2009. As a percentage of our net sales, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 11.3% in 2010,
reflecting a decrease of 2.9 percentage points over the prior year primarily due to improved leverage of existing resources while generating higher net sales.

Research and Development

Our research and development expense for 2010
decreased $51 million, or 6%, compared to 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of the gradual winding-down of our cellular handset business and the realization of cost savings associated with workforce reductions. On average, we reduced our
research and development headcount by approximately 13% in 2010 compared to 2009. This decrease was partially offset by higher incentive compensation associated with our increased net sales and improved performance, the termination of austerity
measures at the beginning of 2010, higher costs associated with intellectual property licensing and focused investment in the new product introduction process. As a percentage of our net sales, our research and development expenses were 17.5% in
2010, reflecting a decrease of 6.2 percentage points over the prior year, due primarily to improved leverage of existing resources and higher 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 $19 million, or 4%, in 2010 compared to the prior year. This decrease is associated with a portion of our
developed technology and purchased licenses being fully amortized during 2010.

Reorganization of Businesses, Contract Settlement, and
Other

In 2010, in connection with our Reorganization of Business Program, we reversed $19 million of severance accruals as
a result of employees previously identified for separation who either resigned and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved. This reversal also includes amounts associated
with outplacement services and other severance-related costs that will not be incurred. We also recorded a $4 million benefit related to the sale of our facility in Dunfermline, Scotland. These benefits were partially offset by charges of
(i) $8 million attributable to employee severance costs associated with the separation of certain employees in management positions in the fourth quarter of 2010, thus concluding our workforce transformation efforts under the Reorganization of
Business Program; (ii) $11 million related primarily to underutilized office space which was vacated in the prior year, also in connection with our Reorganization of Business Program; and (iii) $6 million in connection with non-cash asset
impairment charges.

(Loss) Gain on Extinguishment or Modification of Long-Term Debt, Net

In 2010, we recorded a $432 million net pre-tax charge attributable to the write-off of remaining original issue discount and unamortized
debt issuance costs along with other charges not eligible for capitalization, associated with the amend and extend and other 2010 debt refinancing activities. These charges were partially offset by a $15 million pre-tax gain, net related to
open-market repurchases of $213 million of our senior unsecured notes.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net increased $24 million, or 4%, in 2010 compared to the prior year. Net interest expense in 2010 included interest
expense of $591 million, partially offset by interest income of $8 million. Net interest expense in 2009 included interest expense of $571 million partially offset by interest income of $15 million. The $20 million increase in interest expense over
the prior year is due to higher interest rates on the debt extended and incurred in 2010 in connection with the amend and extend and the other 2010 debt refinancing activities. This increase was partially offset by savings related to the
extinguishment of outstanding debt during 2010 and 2009.

During 2010, we also recorded in other expense, net a $14 million
pre-tax loss related to the change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and a $3 million pre-tax loss attributable to one of our strategic investments accounted for under the equity method.

Income Tax Benefit

In
2010, our effective tax rate is an income tax benefit of approximately 2%, inclusive of an income tax benefit of $23 million recorded for discrete events. These discrete events relate primarily to the release of valuation allowances related to
certain deferred tax assets of our foreign subsidiaries and the release of income tax reserves associated with statute expirations and other items. Although we are a Bermuda entity with a statutory income tax rate of zero, the earnings of many of
our subsidiaries are subject to taxation in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions. Our annual effective tax rate was different from the Bermuda statutory rate of zero in 2010 due to (i) income tax expense (benefit) incurred by
subsidiaries operating in jurisdictions that impose an income tax, (ii) the mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdictions, (iii) a foreign capital investment incentive providing for enhanced tax deductions associated with capital
expenditures in one of our foreign manufacturing facilities and (iv) the effect of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008

Net Sales

Our net sales of $3,508 million and orders of $3,719 million in
2009 decreased 33% and 23%, respectively, compared to the prior year. We experienced lower net sales in almost all product groups as a result of (i) the termination of certain minimum purchase commitments of our cellular products by Motorola,
(ii) decreasing production in the global automotive industry along with the impact of the General Motors Company and Chrysler LLC bankruptcies and the bankruptcies of certain of our other customers, (iii) decreased demand from our
distribution supply chain customers for consumer and industrial products, (iv) lower capital spending in enterprise and wireline infrastructure and (v) a decline in consumer spending affecting digital home and multimedia products which
negatively impacted our networking business. Distribution sales were approximately 21% of our total net sales in 2009 and fell by 21% compared to the prior year. Distribution inventory, in dollars and units, was 11.4 weeks and 8.0 weeks,
respectively, of net sales at December 31, 2009, compared to 14.0 weeks and 11.8 weeks, respectively, of net sales at December 31, 2008. Net sales by product design group for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

MSG

MSGs net sales declined in 2009 by $526 million, or 32%, compared to 2008, primarily as a result of decreased global
automotive demand and production cuts in the U.S. automotive market, where the U.S. Big 3 automakers produced 39% fewer vehicles during 2009 as compared to the prior year. We were also affected by reduced demand in the consumer and industrial
markets purchased through our distribution channel. Despite the overall decline from the prior year, sequentially we noted improving sales volumes of our MSGs products in the second half of 2009. MSGs net sales increased by 29% in total,
and by 27% in the automotive marketplace, in the second half of 2009 as compared to the first half of the year. This increase related primarily to a 46% increase in units produced by the Big 3 in the second half of 2009 and corresponding increases
in our foreign markets, compared to the first half of the year, resulting from government incentive programs and the replenishment of inventories.

NMG

NMGs net sales decreased in 2009 by $232
million, or 20%, compared to 2008. This decrease was attributable to lower capital spending on communications infrastructure, combined with a decline in consumer spending affecting sales of digital home and multimedia products.

RASG

RASGs net sales declined in 2009 by $218 million, or 21%, compared to 2008, as a result of lower demand for both analog and sensor products due to weaker automotive vehicle production. In addition,
we also experienced a decline in radio frequency product demand due to the end of that period of Chinas investment in its 3G wireless infrastructure. Despite the overall decline from the prior year, in the second half of 2009, RASGs net
sales increased sequentially by 11% in total, and by 48% in the automotive marketplace, as compared to the first half of 2009. This increase related primarily to a 46% increase in units produced by the Big 3 in the second half of 2009 and
corresponding increases in our foreign markets, as compared to the first half of 2009, resulting from government incentive programs and the replenishment of inventories.

Cellular Products

Cellular Products net sales
declined by $592 million, or 56%, in 2009 compared to 2008 due primarily to significantly lower demand from Motorola due to the termination of our agreement with them in the second half of 2008. The sharp decline in product sales to Motorola was
partially offset by higher demand in 2009 from Research In Motion for our baseband processors.

Other

Other net sales declined by $150 million, or 45%, in 2009 as compared to 2008 due principally to a
$175 million, or 71%, decrease in foundry wafer sales in connection with the winding down of a manufacturing contract with a customer. As a percentage of net sales, intellectual property revenue was 2% and 1% for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Gross Margin

In 2009, our gross margin decreased $1,127 million compared to 2008. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 26.9% in 2009,
reflecting a decline of 12.7 percentage points from the prior year. This decrease was attributable to substantially reduced net sales which resulted in a decline in factory utilization of approximately 20 percentage points, as compared to 2008. This
negatively impacted gross margin, as we experienced less operating leverage of fixed manufacturing costs. In response to these circumstances, we executed several cost savings initiatives, including reducing our cost of procured materials and
services, internalizing certain wafer manufacturing and assembly and test contract services and executing a workforce reduction across our manufacturing organization. On average, our manufacturing and supply chain operations workforce was reduced
22% during 2009 compared to 2008. Our gross margin included PPA impact and depreciation acceleration related to the planned closure of our 150-millimeter manufacturing facilities of $228 million in 2009 and $225 million in 2008.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $174 million, or 26%, in 2009 compared to 2008. This decrease was the result of a coordinated effort to reduce costs across all selling, general
and administration departmental functions and categories of expenses. We executed workforce reductions and focused cost restructuring in the information technology, legal, sales and marketing functions. On average, our selling, general and
administrative workforce was reduced 21% during 2009 versus 2008. As a percent of our net sales, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 14.2% in 2009, reflecting an increase of 1.3 percentage points over the prior year, due primarily
to lower net sales.

Research and Development

Our research and development expense for 2009 decreased $307 million, or 27%, compared to 2008. This decrease was the result of savings from an identified transformation plan including the restructuring
of our participation in the IBM alliance, a jointly-funded research alliance created to develop 300-millimeter technologies, the exit of our Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory business and some initial savings from the strategic realignment of
our cellular handset business. As a result, on average, our research and development workforce was reduced 20% during 2009 compared to 2008. These savings were partially offset by external acquisitions in 2008 and internal organic investments in our
remaining core businesses. As a percentage of our net sales, our research and development expenses were 23.7% in 2009, reflecting an increase of 1.9 percentage points over the prior year, due primarily 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 $556 million, or 53%, in 2009 compared to
2008. The decrease was the result of a lower asset base following non-cash impairment charges recorded against these assets in the second half of 2008.

Reorganization of Businesses, Contract Settlement, and Other

In 2009, we
recorded $298 million in net charges for severance costs primarily in connection with our decision to exit our manufacturing facilities in Sendai, Japan and Toulouse, France and severance costs associated with the wind-down of our cellular handset
product offerings. Additional reorganization costs consisted primarily of severance costs related to our ongoing Reorganization of Business Program, including the general consolidation of certain research and development, sales and marketing, and
logistical and administrative operations. These net charges also included $15 million of severance reversals recorded as a result of employees previously identified for separation who either resigned and did not receive severance or were redeployed
due to circumstances not foreseen when original plans were approved. In addition to these severance charges, we recorded $24 million in exit costs related primarily to underutilized office space which was vacated during 2009 in connection with the
consolidation of certain research and development activities, $25 million of non-cash asset impairment charges and $4 million of gains related to the sale and disposition of certain capital assets.

We also recorded $15 million in charges in 2009 related to our Japanese subsidiarys pension plan in reorganization of businesses,
contract settlement, and other. These charges were related to certain termination benefits and settlement costs in connection with our plan to discontinue our manufacturing operations in Sendai, Japan in 2011 and other previously executed severance
actions in Japan. In addition, in connection with our planned closure of our fabrication facility in Toulouse, France in the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a $9 million curtailment gain attributable to certain of our French subsidiarys
employee obligations.

In 2008, we recorded a benefit of $296 million in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement,
and other in connection with a settlement agreement with Motorola whereby Motorola agreed to provide certain consideration to us in exchange for our terminating its remaining minimum purchase commitment obligations. This amount included the
recognition of $187 million of previously deferred revenue recorded under an earlier amended and extended arrangement with Motorola whereby we received cash proceeds, provided certain pricing modifications and relieved Motorola of certain
obligations. 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 as a result of the settlement
agreement.

We also accrued $151 million in employee severance and other exit costs in connection with our Reorganization of
Business Program in 2008. In addition, we recorded exit costs of $43 million related to a strategic decision to restructure our participation in the IBM alliance. In addition to these Reorganization of Business Program charges, 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) the closure of our manufacturing facility located in Tempe, Arizona and
(iv) certain other assets previously classified as held-for-sale.

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 awards 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. In addition, we 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 disposed of during 2008.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In 2008, in connection with the termination of our agreement with Motorola, the significant decline in the market capitalization of the public companies in our peer group as of December 31, 2008, our
then announced 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. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of $5,350 million and $1,631 million associated with goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. These goodwill and intangible assets were primarily established in
purchase accounting at the completion of the Merger in December 2006.

Merger Expenses

Merger expenses were $11 million in 2008 and consisted primarily of retention costs associated with the acquisition of SigmaTel, Inc. on
April 30, 2008, as well as accounting, legal and other professional fees. SigmaTel was a fabless semiconductor company which designed, developed and marketed mixed-signal integrated circuits for the consumer electronics market.

(Loss) Gain on Extinguishment or Modification of Long-Term Debt

During 2009, we recorded a $2,264 million net pre-tax gain in connection with the debt exchange completed in the first quarter. Upon completion of the debt exchange, the carrying value of our outstanding
long-term debt obligations on the existing notes declined by $2,853 million, including $24 million of accrued PIK interest. This decline was partially offset by the borrowing of the incremental term loans in the debt exchange, which had a
carrying value of $540 million. The incremental term loans were valued based upon the public trading prices of the existing notes exchanged immediately prior to the launch of the debt exchange. In addition, during 2009, we recorded a $32 million
pre-tax gain, net associated with open-market repurchases of $99 million of senior unsecured notes.

During 2008, we recorded
a $79 million pre-tax gain, net in connection with open-market repurchases of $177 million of senior unsecured notes.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net decreased $157 million, or 21%, in 2009 compared to 2008. Net interest expense in 2009 included
interest expense of $571 million partially offset by interest income of $15 million. Net interest expense in 2008 included interest expense of $738 million partially offset by interest income of $36 million. The $167 million decrease in interest
expense over the prior year period was due to (i) savings related to the debt exchange and the retirement of outstanding debt during 2009 and (ii) lower interest rates on the outstanding floating rate debt. This decline was partially
offset by an increase in interest expense associated with the interest incurred on borrowings under the revolving credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.

During 2009, we also recorded in other, net pre-tax losses of (i) $15 million related to certain of our investments which were
accounted for under either the cost method or the equity method; (ii) $8 million in connection with the ineffective portion of swaps that were no longer classified as a cash flow hedge; (iii) $4 million associated with the change in
the fair value of our interest rate swaps and interest rate caps; and (iv) $3 million attributable to foreign currency fluctuations. These losses were partially offset by pre-tax gains in other, net of (i) $5 million related to the change
in fair value of our auction rate securities and other derivatives (see further discussion of our auction rate securities in Note 3 to the accompanying audited financial statements), and (ii) $4 million recorded in connection with a settlement
of a Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. (LBSF) swap arrangement with a notional amount of $400 million (see further discussion of the LBSF swap arrangement in Note 5 to the accompanying audited financial statements).

During 2008, we recognized a $38 million pre-tax loss in other, net related to the cumulative ineffective portion and subsequent change
in fair value of interest rate swaps that were no longer classified as a cash flow hedge. In 2008, we also recorded in other, net (i) a $12 million pre-tax gain as a result of the sale of all of the shares in one of our investments accounted
for under the cost method, (ii) a $5 million pre-tax loss attributable to one of our investments accounted for under the equity method and (iii) foreign currency fluctuations.

Income Tax Benefit

In 2009, our effective tax rate was an income tax expense of less than 1%, excluding a net income tax benefit of $253 million recorded for discrete events occurring in 2009. These discrete events
primarily reflect a non-cash tax benefit of $270 million related to the release of a U.S. valuation allowance in connection with unremitted earnings of one of our foreign subsidiaries. Other discrete events offsetting the non-cash benefit described
above include income tax expense related to a valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax assets of one of our foreign subsidiaries. The impact of the valuation allowance was partially offset by the release of income tax reserves related to
foreign audit settlements and statute expirations. Our annual effective tax rate was different from the Bermuda statutory rate of zero in 2009 due to (i) income tax expense (benefit) incurred by subsidiaries operating in jurisdictions that
impose an income tax, (ii) the mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdictions and (iii) the effect of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions. During 2009, we also recorded a $2,264 million net gain as a result of the
reduction in our outstanding long-term debt in connection with the debt exchange. We continued to be in an overall three year U.S. cumulative loss position, inclusive of the cancellation of debt gain. A valuation allowance of $560 million was
recorded on our U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008, so substantially all of the U.S. income tax expense related to the cancellation of debt income was offset by a beneficial release of the valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred
tax assets.

In 2008, our effective tax rate was a tax benefit of 6%. Our annual effective tax rate was different from the
Bermuda statutory rate of zero in 2008 due to (i) income tax expense (benefit) incurred by subsidiaries operating in jurisdictions that impose an income tax, (ii) the mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdictions, (iii) the
nondeductible nature of goodwill impairments and (iv) the effect of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions. The recognition of the valuation allowance resulted from having incurred cumulative losses in the United States, which is
a strong indication that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our U.S. deferred tax assets may not be recoverable. The effective rate included 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 audit settlements, and interest expense associated with tax reserves.

Reorganization of Businesses, Contract Settlement, and Other

We have
executed a series of restructuring under the Reorganization of Business Program that streamlined our cost structure and re-directed some research and development investments into expected growth markets. These actions have reduced our workforce in
our supply chain, research and development, sales, marketing and general and administrative functions. These actions included (i) the winding-down of our cellular handset business, (ii) restructuring our participation in the IBM alliance,
(iii) implementing a plan to discontinue our 150mm manufacturing operations at our facilities in East Kilbride, Scotland, Sendai, Japan and Toulouse, France and (iv) consolidating certain research and development, sales and marketing, and
logistical and administrative operations.

At each reporting date, we evaluate our accruals for exit costs and employee
separation costs, which consist primarily of termination benefits (principally severance 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.

The $43 million used reflects cash payments made to employees separated as part of the Reorganization of
Business Program in 2010. We will make additional payments to these separated employees and the remaining approximately 1,420 employees through the first half of 2012. We reversed $19 million of severance accruals as a result of 170 employees
previously identified for separation who either resigned and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved. This reversal also includes amounts associated with outplacement
services and other severance-related costs that will not be incurred. We also recorded $8 million in charges related to severance payments associated with the separation of certain employees in management positions, reflecting the culmination of
workforce transformation efforts under the Reorganization of Business Program. In addition, we recorded $11 million of exit costs related primarily to underutilized office space which was vacated in the prior year in connection with our
Reorganization of Business Program. During 2010, $12 million of these exit costs were paid.

Asset Impairment Charges and Other
Disposition Activities

During 2010, we recorded (i) a net benefit of $4 million related primarily to proceeds
received in connection with the sale of our former facility in Dunfermline, Scotland which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2010 and (ii) $6 million of non-cash impairment charges related primarily to our manufacturing facility in East
Kilbride, Scotland, which was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2010, and other items.

Other Reorganization of
Business Programs

During 2010, we reversed approximately $2 million of severance accruals related to reorganization of
business programs initiated in periods preceding the third quarter of 2008. These reversals were due to a number of 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. As of December 31, 2010, we have no remaining severance, relocation or exit cost accruals associated with these programs.

Year Ended December 31, 2009

Reorganization of Business Program

In 2009, we recorded $298 million in net charges for severance costs primarily in connection with our decision to exit
our manufacturing facilities in Sendai, Japan and Toulouse, France and severance costs associated with the gradual wind-down of our cellular handset product offerings. Additional reorganization costs consisted primarily of severance costs related to
our ongoing Reorganization of Business Program, including the general consolidation of certain research and development, sales and marketing, and logistical and administrative operations. These net charges also include $15 million of severance
reversals recorded as a result of employees previously identified for separation who either resigned and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved. During 2009, we also
recorded charges for exit costs of $24 million related primarily to underutilized office space which was vacated in connection with a consolidation of certain research and development activities resulting from our Reorganization of Business Program.

Termination Benefits

We recorded $15 million in charges in 2009 related to our Japanese subsidiarys pension plan. These charges were related to certain termination benefits and settlement costs in connection with our
plan to discontinue our manufacturing operations in Sendai, Japan in the fourth quarter of 2011 and other previously executed severance actions in Japan. In addition, in connection with our announced closure of our fabrication facility in Toulouse,
France in the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a $9 million curtailment gain attributable to certain of our French subsidiarys employee obligations.

Asset Impairment Charges and Disposition Activities

During 2009, we
recorded $25 million of non-cash impairment charges related to certain assets classified as held-for-sale (or previously classified as held-for-sale) and in connection with our consolidation of leased facilities. We also recorded gains of
(i) $2 million associated with the disposition of certain equipment formerly used in our cellular handset business and (ii) $2 million in connection with the sale of a parcel of land at our Toulouse, France manufacturing facility.

Other Reorganization of Business Programs

During 2009, we reversed approximately $4 million of severance accruals related to reorganization of business programs initiated in periods preceding the third quarter of 2008. These reversals were due to
a number of 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Of the $1,043 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010, $432 million was held by our U.S. subsidiaries and $611 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

We generated cash flow from operations of $394
million and $76 million during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in cash flow provided by operations in 2010 as compared to 2009 was primarily attributable to a 27% increase in net sales resulting in
increased profitability in 2010 compared to the prior year. Our days sales outstanding decreased to 35 days at December 31, 2010 from 36 days at December 31, 2009. Our days of inventory on hand (excluding the impact of purchase accounting
on inventory and cost of sales) increased to 101 days at December 31, 2010 from 87 days at December 31, 2009 as a result of replenishing inventory levels associated with increased customer demand and inventory built in anticipation of the
planned closure of our Toulouse, France and Sendai, Japan facilities. Days purchases outstanding increased to 57 days at December 31, 2010 from 45 days at December 31, 2009 primarily due to fluctuations in the timing of payments.

We generated cash flow from operations of $76 million and $405 million during the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively. The decrease in cash flow provided by operations in 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily attributable to the significant decline in net sales during 2009, and the increase in revenues in 2008 attributable, in part, to the receipt
of funds in connection with our restructured arrangement with Motorola. Our days sales outstanding decreased to 36 days at December 31, 2009 from 38 days at December 31, 2008. Our days of inventory on hand (excluding the impact of purchase
accounting on inventory and cost of sales) decreased to 87 days at December 31, 2009 from 93 days at December 31, 2008 as a result of declining inventory levels. Days purchases outstanding increased to 45 days at December 31, 2009
from 36 days at December 31, 2008 primarily due to fluctuations in the timing of payments.

Investing Activities

Our net cash (used for) provided by investing activities was $(320) million and $374 million in 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Our investing activities are driven primarily by capital expenditures and payments for purchased licenses and other assets. The increase in cash utilized by investing activities in 2010 as compared to 2009 was primarily the result of
an increase in capital expenditures in 2010 and the generation of $488 million from the sale of our short-term investments in connection with our re-directing investments in a wholly owned money market fund to cash equivalent money market accounts
in 2009. Our capital expenditures were $281 million and $85 million for 2010 and 2009, respectively, and represented 6% and 2% of net sales, respectively. We also experienced a corresponding increase in manufacturing tool and die expenditures over
the same period. These increases were associated with investments to meet the increase in customer demand in 2010.

##### Table of Contents

Our net cash provided by (used for) investing activities was $374 million and $(59) million
in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in the cash provided by investing activities in 2009 compared to the prior year was primarily the result of the generation of $488 million from the sale of our short-term investments in connection with
redirecting our investments in a wholly owned money market fund to cash equivalent money market accounts. The factors impacting our investing cash flows during 2008 were the 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, partially offset by the utilization
of $94 million of cash during 2008 in connection with the acquisition of SigmaTel, Inc. Our capital expenditures were $85 million and $239 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, and represented 2% and 5% of our net sales, respectively.

Financing Activities

Our net cash (used for) provided by financing activities was $(383) million and $9 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in cash used for financing activities in 2010 as compared to 2009 is
attributable primarily to (i) utilizing an incremental $101 million in cash for open-market repurchases of senior unsecured notes and scheduled debt and capital lease payments in 2010 as compared to the prior year, (ii) utilizing $82
million in cash for costs incurred in connection with the amend and extend and the other 2010 debt refinancing activities, and (iii) receiving $184 million in proceeds from a draw down on the revolving credit facility in 2009. We also made a
$24 million excess cash flow payment in 2009 in connection with the terms of our senior credit facilities. Finally, the $2,880 million of proceeds from the issuances of new notes in 2010 were substantially offset by the prepayments and repurchases
of a portion of the senior credit facilities and senior unsecured notes as part of the amend and extend and the other 2010 debt refinancing activities.

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $9 million and $342 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities in 2009 compared to 2008 was
attributable primarily to receiving $313 million more in proceeds from borrowings under the revolving credit facility, as well as on a foreign subsidiary revolving loan agreement, in 2008. This decrease was partially offset by the utilization of
less cash in 2009 on repurchases of existing notes and other additional contractual long-term debt and capital lease payments.

First
Quarter 2010 Amend and Extend Arrangement

On February 19, 2010, Freescale Inc. amended the senior credit facilities
and issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 10.125% senior secured notes maturing on March 15, 2018. The gross proceeds of the note offering were used to prepay amounts outstanding under the senior credit facilities as follows: $635
million under the original maturity term loan, $3 million under the incremental term loans, and $112 million under the revolving credit facility. Further, the maturity of approximately $2,265 million of debt outstanding under the original maturity
term loan was extended to December 1, 2016 (subject to acceleration to September 1, 2014 in certain circumstances) and is now referred to as the extended term loan.

Other 2010 Debt Refinancing Transactions

On April 13, 2010, Freescale
Inc. issued $1,380 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes maturing on April 15, 2018. The proceeds from the note offering, along with cash on-hand, were used to prepay the remaining balances under the original maturity
term loan and the incremental terms loans in accordance with the amendment to the senior credit facilities.

On
September 30, 2010, Freescale Inc. issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior unsecured notes maturing on August 1, 2020. The proceeds from the note offering were used to repurchase a portion of the existing senior
unsecured notes due in 2014 in the following amounts: $376 million of fixed rate notes, $252 million of PIK-election notes and $122 million of floating rate notes.

2009 Debt Exchange

In the first quarter of 2009, Freescale Inc. completed
the debt exchange. Through the debt exchange, $2,829 million aggregate principal amount of existing notes was retired. Based on the principal amount of existing notes delivered and accepted, Freescale Inc. borrowed approximately $924 million
principal amount of incremental term loans under the senior credit facilities, which were recorded at a $384 million discount. Upon completion of the debt exchange, the carrying value of the outstanding long-term debt obligations on the existing
notes declined by $2,853 million, including $24 million of accrued PIK interest on the PIK election notes. This decline was partially offset by the borrowing of the incremental term loans with a carrying value of $540 million.

Open-Market Bond Repurchases

During 2010, Freescale Inc. repurchased senior unsecured notes due 2014 as follows: $120 million of fixed rate notes, $78 million of PIK-election notes and $15 million of floating rate notes at a $15
million pre-tax gain, net. During 2009, Freescale Inc. repurchased $60 million of fixed rate notes and $39 million of the PIK-election notes at a $32 million pre-tax gain, net. During 2008, Freescale Inc. repurchased $89 million of senior
subordinated notes due 2016, $63 million of fixed rate notes and $25 million of the floating rate notes at a $79 million pre-tax gain, net.

Credit Facility

At
December 31, 2010, Freescale Inc. had senior credit facilities that included (i) a term loan, which had $2,237 million outstanding, and (ii) a revolving credit facility, including letters of credit and swing line loan sub-facilities,
with a committed capacity of $590 million and $532 million outstanding, excluding a non-funding commitment attributable to Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (LCPI), which filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on October 5, 2008. LCPI has a commitment in the amount of $48 million of the revolving credit facility after the aforementioned prepayment, but borrowing requests have not
been honored by LCPI.

The extended term loan matures on December 1, 2016, subject to acceleration to September 1, 2014
under specified circumstances. The revolving credit facility is available through December 1, 2012. Each of the extended term loan and the revolving credit facility bears interest, at Freescale Inc.s option, at a rate equal to an applicable
margin over either a base rate or a LIBOR rate. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be reduced subject to the attainment of certain leverage ratios. The interest rate at December 31, 2010 was 4.51%
on the extended term loan and 2.26% on the revolving credit facility. Freescale Inc. is required to repay a portion of the term loan in quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts of approximately $29 million, with the remaining balance due
upon maturity. Freescale Inc. is also required to pay quarterly facility commitment fees on the unutilized capacity of the revolving credit facility at an initial rate of 0.50% per annum, as well as customary letter of credit fees. The
commitment fee rate may be reduced if Freescale Inc. attains certain leverage ratios.

All obligations under the senior credit
facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by Freescale Inc.s direct and indirect parent companies other than Freescale GP, including us, and, subject to certain exceptions, each material domestic restricted subsidiary of Holdings III and
certain foreign subsidiaries of Holdings III. All obligations under the senior credit facilities and the guarantees of those obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of Freescale Inc. and each guarantor other than us and Holdings
II, and a pledge of certain equity owned by certain foreign subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The senior credit facilities also contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.

Existing Notes

Freescale Inc. had an aggregate principal amount of $4,842 million in notes outstanding at December 31, 2010, consisting of
(i) $750 million of 10.125% senior secured notes due 2018; (ii) $1,380 million of 9.25% senior secured notes due 2018; (iii) $57 million of senior unsecured floating rate notes due 2014; (iv) $255 million of 9.125%/9.875% senior
unsecured PIK-election notes due 2014; (v) $886 million of 8.875% senior unsecured notes due 2014; (vi) $750 million of 10.75% senior unsecured notes due 2020; and (vii) $764 million of 10.125% senior subordinated notes due 2016.

Interest on the fixed rate notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The floating rate notes bear
interest at a rate, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR (which was 0.30% on December 31, 2010) plus 3.875% per annum, which is payable quarterly in arrears. For any interest period through December 15, 2011, Freescale Inc. may
elect to pay interest on the PIK-election notes in cash, by increasing the principal amount of the PIK-election notes, or by an evenly split combination of the two. For the interest periods ending on June 15, 2010, December 15, 2009 and
June 15, 2009, Freescale Inc. elected to use the PIK interest feature and increased the principal amount of the PIK-election notes by approximately $25 million and $53 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Freescale paid the December 15, 2010
interest payment, and has elected to pay the June 15, 2011 interest payment, in cash.

All obligations under the notes are
unconditionally guaranteed by the same entities that guarantee obligations under the senior credit facilities, and each series of senior secured notes is secured by substantially the same collateral that secures obligations under the senior credit
facilities. The notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. If Freescale Inc. experiences certain change of control events or sells assets, holders of the notes may be permitted to require Freescale Inc. to
repurchase all or part of their notes at the amounts specified in the applicable indenture.

Hedging Transactions

Freescale Inc. periodically enters into interest rate swap and cap contracts with various counterparties as a hedge of the variable cash flows of our variable interest rate debt. Refer to Note 5 to the
accompanying audited financial statements for further details of these interest rate swap and cap contracts.

Other Indebtedness

During 2010, one of our foreign subsidiaries fully repaid the remaining outstanding balance under a short-term Japanese
yen-denominated revolving loan. We do not utilize any other short-term borrowing instruments.

Fair Value

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of our long-term debt, excluding accrued PIK interest on the PIK-election notes, was
approximately $7,863 million and $7,036 million, 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.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in accordance with the indentures governing Freescale Inc.s existing notes and senior credit
facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is net (loss) earnings adjusted for certain non-cash and other items that are included in net (loss) earnings. Our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying
dividends is tied to ratios under the indentures and the senior credit facilities based on Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, we believe it is useful to provide the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to investors for purposes of determining our ability to
engage in these activities.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be
considered an alternative to, net (loss) earnings, operating (loss) earnings, 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. Although
Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements by other companies, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled
captions of other companies. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in the indentures and the senior credit facilities allows us to add back certain charges that are deducted in calculating net (loss) earnings. 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. We do not present Adjusted EBITDA on a quarterly basis. In addition, the measure can be
disproportionately affected by quarterly fluctuations in our operating results, and 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) earnings, which is a U.S. GAAP measure of our operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA, as
calculated pursuant to Freescale Inc.s debt agreements for the most recent four fiscal quarter period as required by such agreements.

Contractual Obligations

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 primarily under non-cancelable operating leases.

Summarized in the table below are our obligations and
commitments to make future payments in connection with our debt, minimum lease payment obligations (net of minimum sublease income), software, service, supply and other contracts, and product purchase commitments as of December 31, 2010.

Future Financing Activities

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 approximately $50 million over the course
of 2011, approximately $125 million in 2012 and approximately $25 million thereafter in connection with the Reorganization of Business Program; however, the timing of these payments depends on many factors, including the actual closing dates and
local employment laws, and actual amounts paid may vary based on currency fluctuation. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2010 of $1,043 million and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our
working capital needs, capital expenditures, restructuring plan and other business requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility was limited to $27 million as of December 31, 2010 after
taking into account $31 million in outstanding letters of credit.

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. 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. Additionally, our debt instruments contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional
debt and sell assets.

As market conditions warrant, we and our major equity holders may from time to time repurchase debt
securities issued by Freescale Inc. in privately negotiated or open-market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, or issue new debt in order to refinance or prepay amounts outstanding under the senior credit facilities or the existing notes or
for other permitted purposes.

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 net sales 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 and intangible assets.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

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

The net book values of these tangible and intangible long-lived assets at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

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. During 2008, we concluded that indicators of impairment existed related to our
goodwill and certain of our identifiable 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 then announced intent to pursue strategic alternatives for our cellular handset product group and the impact from weakening market conditions in our remaining businesses.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

In connection with the aforementioned 2008
impairment indicators, we determined that the net book value related to our intangible assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such intangible assets. Accordingly, and as further described below, we performed an analysis
utilizing discounted future cash flows related to these intangible assets to determine the fair value of each of the respective assets as of December 31, 2008. As a result of this analysis, we recorded impairment charges of $724 million, $98
million and $809 million related to our customer relationship, trademark/tradename and developed technology/purchased license intangible assets, respectively, in 2008.

##### Table of Contents

We determine the fair value of our intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. 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. Examples of discounted cash flow methodologies utilized are the excess earnings method for developed technology/purchased licenses and customer relationships and the royalty savings method for trademarks/tradenames.

When applying either the excess earnings method or the royalty savings method, the cash flows expected to be generated by the
intangible asset are discounted to their present value equivalent using an appropriate weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the respective asset being valued. The WACC is calculated by weighting the required returns on
interest-bearing debt and common equity capital in proportion to their estimated percentages in the Companys expected capital structure. The WACC is adjusted to reflect the relative risk associated with the cash flows of the asset being
valued.

The valuations of our customer relationships and developed technology/purchased licenses are based on the excess
earnings method, which incorporates our long-term net sales projections as a key assumption. The long-term net sales projections utilized in the valuation of our customer relationships are adjusted using a retention curve derived based on historical
experience and current expectations. The net sales attributable to developed technology/purchased licenses is determined by adjusting our long-term net sales projections for the percentage of our total net sales allocated to developed
technology/purchased licenses in consideration of the estimated life of the underlying technologies. As technology in-process at the time the intangible asset was established and future technology begin to generate net sales, sales from developed
technology/purchased licenses are projected to decline. The net sales described above are reduced by production and operating costs. The resulting cash flows are tax-effected using an assumed market participant rate. We then adjust the cash flows
for various contributory asset charges (working capital, fixed assets, technology royalty, trademark/tradename and assembled workforce). The resulting cash flows are discounted and result in the estimated fair value of the respective intangible
asset. We also incorporate an estimate of the future tax savings from amortization in the estimated fair value of developed technology/purchased licenses.

We use the royalty savings method to value the trademark/tradename intangible asset. Our net sales projection over the expected remaining useful life of the trademarks/tradenames is a key assumption. We
apply a royalty rate to the projected net sales. The royalty rate is based on product profitability, industry and markets served, trademark/tradename protection factors, and perceived licensing value. The resulting royalty savings are reduced by
income taxes resulting from the annual royalty savings at a market participant corporate income tax rate to arrive at the after-tax royalty savings associated with owning the trademarks/tradenames. We also incorporate an estimate of the calculated
future tax savings from the amortization of the trademarks/tradenames as an acquired intangible asset. Finally the present value of the estimated annual after-tax royalty savings for each year in the projection period and the present value of tax
savings due to amortization are combined to estimate the fair value of the trademarks/tradenames.

The primary assumptions in
each of these calculations are net sales and cost projections and the WACC utilized to discount the resulting cash flows. Our assumptions concerning net sales are impacted by global and local economic conditions in the various markets we serve. The
primary drivers of the impairment recorded were the impact on future projected net sales of the termination of a supply agreement with Motorola, our intent to pursue strategic alternatives for our cellular handset product group and the weakening
global market conditions. This global macroeconomic crisis resulted in weakening conditions in the automotive, industrial, consumer, networking and wireless semiconductor markets we serve. Our cost projections include production, research and
development and selling, general and administrative costs to generate the net sales associated with the asset being valued. These cost projections are based upon historical and projected levels of each cost category based on our overall projections
for the Company.

Our projected net sales for 2009 at the time of the fair value estimate were anticipated to approximate
two-thirds of our 2008 net sales. Also, in connection with the higher return of investment required by both debt and equity market participants on and around December 31, 2008, the WACC utilized was approximately 600 basis points higher than
historical levels. Continued pressure on our forecasted product shipments in the future due to the current global macroeconomic environment, loss of one or more significant customers, loss of market share or lack of growth in the industries into
which the Companys products are sold or an inability to ensure our cost structure is aligned to associated decreases in net sales could result in further impairment charges. 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. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, however, we determined that no further indicators of
impairment existed with regard to our intangible assets.

PP&E

Our impairment evaluation of 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 net sales 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 PP&E has 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. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded various non-cash asset impairment charges for PP&E of $6 million, $25 million and $88 million, respectively, in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other.

Goodwill

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 net sales 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 net sales 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 the third quarter of 2008, we concluded that indicators of
impairment existed related to our goodwill due to the aforementioned factors. We concluded that our enterprise net book value exceeded its fair value, and we therefore 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. As a result of that analysis, we recorded impairment charges of $5,350 million, effectively reducing our goodwill balance to zero as of the end
of 2008.

Restructuring Activities

We periodically implement plans to reduce our workforce, close facilities, discontinue product lines, 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.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we executed a renewed strategic focus on key market leadership positions. In connection with this
announcement and given general market conditions, we initiated the Reorganization of Business Program. These actions include (i) the winding-down of our cellular handset business, (ii) restructuring our participation in the IBM alliance,
(iii) discontinuing our 150mm manufacturing operations at our facilities in East Kilbride, Scotland and the planned closure of such facilities in Sendai, Japan and Toulouse, France and (iv) consolidating certain research and development,
sales and marketing, and logistical and administrative operations. We incurred $318 million and $232 million in severance and exit costs associated with the Reorganization of Business Program in 2009 and 2008, respectively. These actions have
reduced and will reduce our workforce in our supply chain, research and development, sales, marketing and general and administrative functions.

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 $740 million have been recorded on substantially all our U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31,
2010, 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 ASC Topic 740,
Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740) in assessing whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets may be recoverable.

##### Table of Contents

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. In certain foreign jurisdictions, we record valuation allowances to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely
than not to be realized after considering all positive and negative factors as to the recoverability of these assets. At December 31, 2010 valuation allowances of $83 million have also 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. As of December 31, 2010, we had reserves
of $218 million for taxes, associated interest, and other related costs that may become payable in future years as a result of audits by tax authorities.

Inventory Valuation Methodology

Inventory is valued at the lower of
cost or estimated net realizable value. 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.

As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded $97 million, $155 million, and $136 million, respectively, in reserves for
inventory deemed obsolete or in excess of forecasted demand. 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 is 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 (i) a deterioration in the semiconductor pricing environment, (ii) reductions in anticipated demand for semiconductor products and/or (iii) 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.

Revenue from licensing our intellectual property approximated 2%, 2% and 1% of net sales in 2010, 2009, and 2008, 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 ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition 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.

Purchase Accounting and Intangible Assets

As discussed above, the Merger was completed on December 1, 2006 and was financed by a combination of borrowings under the senior
credit facilities, the issuance of 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/trademarks, developed technology/purchased
licenses 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 and Legislation Changes

On March 23,
2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Act), which is a comprehensive health care reform bill for the United States. In addition, on March 30, 2010, President Obama signed into law
the reconciliation measure (Heath Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010), which modifies certain provisions of the Act. Although the new legislation did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of
operation or cash flows in 2010, the Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts on our future obligations, costs, and cash flows related to our health care benefits and post-retirement health-care obligations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605): Milestone Method(ASU
No. 2010-17). ASU No. 2010-17 recognizes the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition method for substantive milestones in research or development transactions. A milestone is substantive when the consideration earned
from achievement of the milestone is commensurate with either (a) the vendors performance to achieve the milestone or (b) the enhancement of the value of the delivered item(s) as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the
vendors performance to achieve the milestone and the consideration earned from the achievement of a milestone relates solely to past performance and is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms (including other potential
milestone consideration) within the arrangement. This new guidance will be effective for our fiscal year 2011 and its interim periods, with early adoption permitted. This guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, as well as
information about activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, including presenting information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross versus a net basis in the Level 3 activity roll forward. In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies
existing disclosures regarding input and valuation techniques, as well as the level of disaggregation for each class of assets and liabilities. ASU No. 2009-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009,
except for the disclosures pertaining to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of Level 3 activity; those disclosures are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU
2010-06 had no impact and is expected to have no subsequent impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14 Software (ASC Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements(ASU No. 2009-14). ASU
No. 2009-14 modifies the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude (i) non-software components of tangible products and (ii) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed or leased with tangible
products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality. ASU No. 2009-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. This guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13 Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic
605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements(ASU No. 2009-13). ASU No. 2009-13 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how
the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied
retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. This guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

|Item 7A: | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Foreign Currency Risk

As a multinational company, our transactions are
denominated in a variety of currencies. We have a foreign exchange hedging 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.

A significant variation of the value of the U.S. dollar against the principal currencies that have a material impact on us could result in a favorable impact on our net (loss) earnings in the case of
an appreciation of the U.S. dollar, or a negative impact on our net (loss) earnings if the U.S. dollar depreciates relative to these currencies. Currency exchange rate fluctuations affect our results of operations because our reporting
currency is the U.S. dollar, in which we receive the major part of our net sales, while we incur a significant portion of our costs in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Certain significant costs incurred by us, such as manufacturing
labor costs, research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses are incurred in the currencies of the jurisdictions in which our operations are located.

In order to reduce the exposure of our financial results to the fluctuations in exchange rates, our principal strategy has been to naturally hedge the foreign currency-denominated liabilities on our
balance sheet against corresponding foreign currency-denominated assets such that any changes in liabilities due to fluctuations in exchange rates are inversely offset by changes in their corresponding foreign currency assets. In order to further
reduce our exposure to U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations, we have entered into foreign currency hedge agreements related to the currency and the amount of expenses we expect to incur in jurisdictions in which our operations are located. No
assurance can be given that our hedging transactions will prevent us from incurring higher foreign currency-denominated costs when translated into our U.S. dollar-based accounts in the event of a weakening of the U.S. dollar on the
non-hedged portion of our costs and expenses. Refer to Note 5, Risk Management, to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

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 functional currency and included in operations for the period in which the exchange rates changed. Refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying audited consolidated financial
statements for further discussion.

At December 31, 2010, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts not designated as
accounting hedges with notional amounts totaling $187 million. These forward contracts have original maturities of less than three months. The fair value of these forward contracts was a net unrealized gain of less than $1 million at
December 31, 2010. Forward contract gains of less than $1 million for 2010 were recorded in other, net in the accompanying audited Statements of Operations related to our realized and unrealized results associated with these foreign
exchange contracts. 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 U.S. dollars, the notional amounts of the most significant foreign exchange hedge positions not designated as accounting hedges as of December 31, 2010:



|                  |  |                  |     |  
|----------------- |  | ---------------- | --- | -
|Buy (Sell)        |  | December 31,2010 |    
|Malaysian Ringgit |  | $                | 69  |  
|Euro              |  | $                | 54  |  
|Japanese Yen      |  | $                | 39  |  
|Israeli Shekel    |  | $                | 16  |  
|Singapore Dollar  |  | $                | 9   |  
|Taiwan Dollar     |  | $                | (12 | )

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 $64 million as of December 31, 2010, 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 losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and future transactions being hedged. If the hedged
instruments 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 cash flow hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be
designated as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of such hedge instruments must be highly correlated with changes in the fair values of underlying hedged items both at inception of the hedge
and over the life of the hedge contract. At December 31, 2010, we had Malaysian Ringgit forward and option contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $114 million and a fair value of a net unrealized gain of
$3 million. These forward and option contracts have original maturities of less than one year. Gains of less than $1 million for 2010 were recorded in cost of sales in the accompanying audited Statements of Operations related to our realized results
associated with these cash flow hedges.

Interest Rate Risk

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

At December 31, 2010 we had interest bearing cash and cash equivalents of $1,043 million. A 1% increase in LIBOR rates would have a
$10 million impact on our interest income.

At December 31, 2010, we had total debt of $7,611 million, including $2,826
million of variable interest rate debt based on either 1-month or 3-month LIBOR. As of December 31, 2010, we have effectively fixed our interest rate on $200 million of our variable rate debt through December 1, 2012 through the use of
interest rate swaps. In addition to our interest rate swap agreements, we also use interest rate cap agreements to manage the interest rate risk associated with our floating rate debt. As of December 31, 2010, we have effectively hedged $400
million of our variable interest rate debt at a cap rate of 2.75% through December 1, 2012. The fair value of the interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements, excluding accrued interest, at December 31, 2010 was an $11 million
obligation. Our remaining variable interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk, because our interest payments will fluctuate as the underlying interest rates change from market changes. A 1% increase in LIBOR rates would result in a change
in our interest expense of $28 million per year.

The fair value of our long-term debt approximated $7,863 million at
December 31, 2010, 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 1% change in LIBOR rates would have a $250 million impact on the fair value of our long-term debt and a $4 million impact on the fair value of our interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements.

The fair values of the other financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying or contract values at
December 31, 2010.

Counterparty Risk

Outstanding financial derivative instruments expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. We also enter into master netting arrangements with
counterparties when possible to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions. A master netting arrangement may allow counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other as a result of multiple, separate derivative transactions. 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. As of December 31, 2010, we believe that our exposure to counterparty risk is immaterial.

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, 2010 and 2009, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

On December 1, 2006, Freescale 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). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, Freescale Inc.
continues as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I (Holdings I). At the close of the Merger, Freescale 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 Holdings I. All five of these companies were formed for the purposes of facilitating the Merger and are collectively referred to as the Parent Companies. Freescale Holdings
L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (Freescale LP), an entity controlled by the Sponsors, owns substantially all of the outstanding shares of Holdings I as of December 31, 2010. The reporting entity subsequent to the Merger
is Holdings I. Holdings I refers to the operations of Holdings I and its subsidiaries and may be referred to as the Company, Freescale, we, us or our, 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.

In connection
with the Merger, Freescale 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 trademarks / tradenames, customer lists, developed technology / purchased licenses, and
in-process research and development (IPR&D) (which was expensed in the financial statements after the consummation of the Merger), 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. During 2008, however, we incurred substantial non-cash impairment charges against the intangible assets established at the time of the Merger. This
event served to reduce the post-Merger increase in our non-cash amortization charges, although they are still above historical levels.

We consider events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify
matters that require additional disclosure.

Risks and Uncertainties: In the second half of 2008 and continuing into
2009, the semiconductor industry experienced a downturn driven by overall weakness in global macroeconomic demand for semiconductor products. We experienced lower net sales and operating profitability, as well as lower factory utilization compared
to peak levels because of the downturn in general and our position as an electronic content provider to the automotive industry, which experienced significant declines in demand in 2009 compared to peak levels.

In response to these economic pressures, we executed a series of strategic investment and cost reduction actions in late 2008 and 2009 to
sharpen our strategic focus on growth markets and key market leadership positions where we anticipated above market growth opportunities over the long term. Specifically, during 2009, we executed actions to align our cost structure with our prior
decision to gradually wind-down our cellular handset business. We also announced the initiation of a plan to exit our remaining 150-millimeter manufacturing capability in Sendai, Japan and Toulouse, France and finalized the closure of our
150-millimeter manufacturing capability in East Kilbride, Scotland because of a general migration away from 150-millimeter technologies and products to more cost-effective advanced technologies and products.

In 2010, the global economy began to recover, and as a result, we have experienced demand improvement and corresponding net sales growth
throughout the year. In response, we have selectively increased headcount and capital expenditures to meet the required increase in production. We have also faced certain supply chain constraints over the course of 2010 as a result of the transition
in demand as the global economy has continued to recover. This has translated into higher production and shipping costs due to increasing internal and external capacity requirements along with increasing material costs.

##### Table of Contents

We have experienced sequential increases in net sales every quarter since the second quarter
of 2009. We continue to focus our resources on our core automotive, networking and industrial products, as well as targeted opportunities in certain consumer electronics markets. Our business is highly dependent on demand for electronic content in
automobiles, networking and wireless infrastructure equipment and other electronic devices. As of the end of 2010, our demand and inventory levels are more in balance. Our future net sales and profitability will be affected by, among other factors,
a combination of the extent to which a recovery continues in the general global economic environment, both in size and duration, and our ability to secure design wins and adequately meet product development launch cycles in our targeted markets.

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 and certain U.S. customers to whom Freescale ships product directly from Asia, are recognized upon delivery.

Accruals are established, with the related reduction to net sales at the time the related net sales are recognized, for allowances for discounts and product returns based on actual historical experience.
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 is fixed. Net sales 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 2%, 2% and 1% for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008,
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 net sales, 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 and are included in cost of sales. 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.

Share Compensation Costs: We have several share-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 6. We account for awards granted under those plans using the fair-value
recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation(ASC Topic 718). We estimated fair values for non-qualified options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the weighted-average
assumptions listed in Note 6.

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 expense, net in the accompanying audited Consolidated Statements
of Operations. Gains and losses on financial instruments that hedge firm future commitments or cash flows are deferred until such time as the underlying transactions are recognized or are 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.

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 stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is generally computed on a
currently adjusted standard cost basis, which approximates average costs on a first-in first-out basis. Standard costs are based on the normal utilization of installed factory capacity. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed
as incurred. We review inventory quarterly for salability and obsolescence. A specific allowance is provided for inventory considered unlikely to be sold. We write-off inventory in the period in which disposal occurs.

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 (buildings and building equipment, 5-40 years; machinery and equipment, 3-17 years),
and

commences once the assets are ready for their intended use. The useful lives of the assets acquired by Holdings I 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 is 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: A goodwill balance represents the
excess of the cost over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of an acquired business and is reviewed annually for impairment. In 2008, we recorded a $5,350 million non-cash impairment charge against our goodwill, reducing the balance to
zero. Our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 10 years. The useful lives of the intangible assets acquired by Holdings I 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. 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.

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 shareholders equity.

Effective January 1,
2008, we changed the functional currency for certain foreign operations to the U.S. dollar. In accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters (ASC Topic 830), once the functional currency for a foreign entity
is determined, that determination shall be used consistently unless significant changes in economic facts and circumstances indicate clearly that the functional currency has changed. In December 2007, we formed Freescale Semiconductor EME&A SA
(SBE), a European single billing entity established to provide sales and distribution service to our European external customers from one centralized location. Previously such activities were decentralized across our entities in Europe.
The SBE negotiates and invoices for all contracts with our European external customers. Subsequent to the implementation of the SBE, the other local foreign operations in Europe provide support to the SBE in servicing our customers and only record
inter-company commission revenue from the SBE, which is denominated in the U.S. dollar. In addition, all inter-company transactions, inter-company loans and other types of financing are denominated in the U.S. dollar for all foreign operations in
which the functional currency changed. In accordance with ASC Topic 830, the U.S. dollar is the proper functional currency as financing is provided by U.S. dollar sources. The change in functional currency was 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 functional currency and included in operations for the period in which the exchange rate changed.

Deferred Financing Costs: We capitalize direct costs incurred to obtain financings and amortize these costs over the terms of the
related debt using the effective interest method. 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, 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, 2010 and 2009. See Notes 3, 4, 5 and 6 for further details concerning fair value measurement, the fair value of our long-term debt, derivative
contracts and pension plan assets, respectively.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) 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 three 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 ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (ASC Topic 280). We have one operating segment, as defined by ASC Topic 280, and therefore, the aggregation criteria to determine the reportable
segment are not applicable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Legislation Changes:In March 2010, President Obama
signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Act), which is a comprehensive health care reform bill for the United States. In addition, on March 30, 2010, President Obama signed into law the reconciliation
measure (Heath Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010), which modifies certain provisions of the Act. Although the new legislation did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows
in 2010, the Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts on our future obligations, costs, and cash flows related to our health care benefits and post-retirement health-care obligations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605): Milestone Method(ASU
No. 2010-17). ASU No. 2010-17 recognizes the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition method for substantive milestones in research or development transactions. A milestone is substantive when the consideration earned
from achievement of the milestone is commensurate with either (a) the vendors performance to achieve the milestone or (b) the enhancement of the value of the delivered item(s) as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the
vendors performance to achieve the milestone and the consideration earned from the achievement of a milestone relates solely to past performance and is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms (including other potential
milestone consideration) within the arrangement. This new guidance will be effective for our fiscal year 2011 and its interim periods, with early adoption permitted. This guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, as well as
information about activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, including presenting information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross versus a net basis in the Level 3 activity roll forward. In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies
existing disclosures regarding input and valuation techniques, as well as the level of disaggregation for each class of assets and liabilities. ASU No. 2009-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009,
except for the disclosures pertaining to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of Level 3 activity; those disclosures are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU
2010-06 had no impact and is expected to have no subsequent impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14 Software (ASC Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements(ASU No. 2009-14). ASU
No. 2009-14 modifies the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude (i) non-software components of tangible products and (ii) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed or leased with tangible
products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality. ASU No. 2009-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. This guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13 Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic
605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements(ASU No. 2009-13). ASU No. 2009-13 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how
the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied
retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. This guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Statements of Operations Supplemental Information

Merger Costs

In 2008, we incurred merger costs of $11 million, which consist primarily of retention costs associated with the acquisition of SigmaTel,
Inc. and accounting, legal and other professional fees. We acquired 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 integrated circuits for the consumer electronics market.

(Loss) Gain on Extinguishment or
Modification of Long-Term Debt, Net

In 2010, we recorded a net pre-tax charge of $432 million in the accompanying
audited Consolidated Statement of Operations attributable to the write-off of remaining original issue discount and unamortized debt issuance costs along with other charges not eligible for capitalization under ASC Subtopic 470-50,
Modifications and Extinguishments, associated with the Q2 and Q3 2010 Refinancing Transactions, as well as the A&E Arrangement in the first quarter of 2010. These charges were partially offset by a $15 million pre-tax gain,
net related to the open-market repurchases of $213 million of our senior unsecured notes. (Refer to Note 4 for definition and discussion of capitalized terms referenced in this section.)

During 2009, we recorded a $2,264 million net pre-tax gain in the accompanying audited Consolidated Statement of Operations in connection
with the Debt Exchange. Upon completion of the Debt Exchange, the carrying value of our outstanding long-term debt obligations on the Existing Notes declined by $2,853 million, including $24 million of accrued PIK Interest. This decline was
partially offset by the issuance of Incremental Term Loans with a carrying value of $540 million. The Incremental Term Loans were valued based upon the public trading prices of the Existing Notes exchanged immediately prior to the launch of the Debt
Exchange. In addition, during 2009, we recorded a $32 million pre-tax gain, net associated with the open-market repurchases of $99 million of our senior unsecured notes.

In 2008, we recorded a $79 million pre-tax gain, net in connection with the open-market repurchases of $177 million of our senior unsecured and senior subordinated notes.

Other, Net

During 2010,
in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC Topic 815), we recognized pre-tax losses in other, net of $14 million due to the change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps and interest rate
caps. We also recorded a $3 million pre-tax loss in other, net, related to one of our investments accounted for under the equity method.

During 2009, we recorded a $15 million pre-tax loss in other, net related to certain of our investments accounted for either under the cost method or the equity method. Additionally, in accordance with
ASC Topic 815, we recognized pre-tax losses in other, net of (i) $8 million related to the ineffective portion of our interest rate swaps that were no longer classified as a cash flow hedge, (ii) $4 million associated with the change in
the fair value of our interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, and (iii) $3 million attributable to foreign currency fluctuations. These losses were partially offset by pre-tax gains in other, net of (i) $5 million related to the change
in fair value of our auction rate securities (ARS) and other derivatives (see further discussion of our ARS in the Intangible Assets, Net section of this Note, as well as in Note 3), and (ii) $4 million recorded in connection with a
settlement of a Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. (LBSF) swap arrangement with a notional amount of $400 million (see further discussion of the LBSF swap arrangement in Note 4).

Balance Sheet Supplemental Information

Short-Term Investments

Because continued macroeconomic weakness and
financial market illiquidity had the potential to cause adverse pricing adjustments in its short-term investment portfolio, Freescale Inc. moved all of its short-term investments from a money market fund, which was a wholly owned subsidiary, to cash
equivalent money market accounts in 2009. The money market fund ceased operations in the third quarter of 2009 and was dissolved in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Impairments

During 2008, as a result of certain impairment indicators, including our then-announced intent to pursue strategic alternatives for our
cellular product group and the impact of weakening market conditions on our remaining businesses at the time, and in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC Topic 360), 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). 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, $98 million and $809 million, respectively, related to those intangible assets in 2008. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, however, we determined that no further indicators
of impairment existed with regard to our intangible assets.

Additional Paid-In Capital

In connection with the closing of the Merger, we issued approximately 1,012 million common shares, par value $0.005, to Freescale LP in exchange for a contribution of approximately $7.1 billion. We
issued to Freescale LP a warrant for the purchase of approximately 49.2 million common shares with a strike price of $7, equal to the fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of the warrant, approximately $171 million, is included in
additional paid-in capital on our accompanying audited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During 2009, in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, we
recorded gains of $17 million to other comprehensive earnings related to curtailments, settlements and the actuarial impact associated with our Japanese and French pension obligations. These items were driven by our announcement to discontinue
manufacturing in our Sendai, Japan facility by the fourth quarter of 2011, along with other severance actions in Japan. (Refer to Note 10 for further discussion of this matter.)

(3) Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the
amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value
that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are market inputs participants would use in valuing the asset or
liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance
establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1  quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2  quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs
that are observable; and,

Level 3  inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on
assumptions).

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We measure cash and cash equivalents and derivative contracts at fair value on a recurring basis. The table below sets forth, by level,
the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2010. The table does not include assets and liabilities which are measured at historical cost or on any basis other than fair value. In 2010, there were no significant
transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs and no significant transfers in or out of Level 3 inputs.

Valuation Methodologies

The auctions for our ARS failed to settle on their respective settlement dates, and as a result, Level 1 and Level 2 pricing was not available. Therefore, these securities and the related redemption
rights were classified as Level 3 assets, and we used a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to determine the estimated fair value as of December 31, 2009. The assumptions used in preparing the DCF model included 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 then current environment. We had an arrangement with UBS whereby we could exercise our rights
under the agreement and sell all of our remaining ARS to UBS during the period of June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012 at par value. During 2010, we exercised this right and sold all of these remaining ARS to UBS. As a result, we no longer
had any outstanding ARS or the related redemption rights at December 31, 2010. The ARS and related redemption rights were previously classified as other current assets on the accompanying audited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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. The fair value of our interest rate caps was also estimated based on market observable interest rate yield curves, as well as market observable interest rate
volatility indexes. For foreign currency derivatives, our approach is to use forward contract 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.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

In addition to the assets and liabilities described above, our financial instruments also include accounts receivable, other investments,
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. Except for the fair value of our long-term debt, which is $7,863 million at December 31, 2010 (as determined based upon quoted market prices), the fair values of these financial
instruments were not materially different from their carrying or contract values at December 31, 2010.

Assets and Liabilities
Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

We measure certain financial assets, including cost and
equity method investments, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are adjusted to fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During 2009, we recorded $10 million in other-than-temporary impairments on such
assets, based on our percentage ownership of the estimated value of these assets. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying value of these assets was $6 million and $11 million, respectively.

First Quarter 2010 Amend and Extend Arrangement

On February 12, 2010, we received the requisite consents from our lenders to amend our Credit Facility. As a result, on
February 19, 2010, we closed the transaction referred to as the Amend and Extend Arrangement (the A&E Arrangement) and announced the amendment of our Credit Facility and the issuance of $750 million aggregate principal amount of
10.125% senior secured notes maturing on March 15, 2018 (the 10.125% Secured Notes). The gross proceeds of this offering were used to prepay amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility as follows: $635 million under the original
maturity term loan (Original Term Loan), $3 million under the Incremental Term Loans, and $112 million under the Revolver. (The terms Revolver and Incremental Term Loans are defined later in this Note.) Further, the maturity of
approximately $2,265 million of debt outstanding under the Original Term Loan was extended to December 1, 2016 and is now referred to as the Extended Term Loan. The terms of the amended Credit Facility, as governed by the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 19, 2010 (the Amended Credit Agreement), also allow for one or more future issuances of additional senior secured notes to be secured on a pari passu basis with the obligations under the
Credit Facility, so long as, among other things, the net cash proceeds from any such issuance are used to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility at par.

Certain lenders under the Credit Facility who participated in the partial prepayment of that debt also purchased the 10.125% Secured Notes (Purchasers). Effectively, a portion of the Revolver
and Original Term Loan was exchanged by the Purchasers for 10.125% Secured Notes. This portion of the transaction was accounted for as a substantial modification of debt under the guidelines of ASC Subtopic 470-50. This conclusion was reached
because the difference between the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the 10.125% Secured Notes and the present value of the cash flows under the portions of the Revolver and Original Term Loan held by the Purchasers exceeded 10
percent. A majority of the prepayments under the Credit Facility, however, were accomplished through an exchange of cash proceeds received from the issuance of the 10.125% Secured Notes, thus relieving Freescale Inc. and certain other Holdings I
subsidiaries of their obligations associated with that portion of the liability outstanding under the Credit Facility. This portion of the A&E Arrangement constitutes an extinguishment of debt under ASC Subtopic 470-50 and was accounted for
accordingly.

The issuance of the Extended Term Loan and the extinguishment of a portion of the Original Term Loan does not
meet the definition of a substantial modification of debt under the guidelines of ASC Subtopic 470-50 because the difference between the present value of the cash flows under the Extended Term Loan and the present value of the cash flows of the
extinguished portion of the Original Term Loan is less than 10 percent. In addition, of the $750 million aggregate principal amount of 10.125% Secured Notes, $726 million was accounted for as an issuance of debt, and as described previously, $24
million was accounted for as an exchange of debt by the Purchasers. The 10.125% Secured Notes were recorded at a fair value of $750 million, which was based, in part, on public trading prices of the 10.125% Secured Notes on and around the close of
the offering, in addition to the fact that the amount of cash proceeds received from the issuance was equal to the aggregate principal amount of the 10.125% Secured Notes. (Refer to (Loss) Gain on Extinguishment or Modification of Long-Term
Debt, Net in Note 2 for further discussion of this transaction.)

Second Quarter 2010 Debt Refinancing Transaction

On April 13, 2010, Freescale Inc. issued $1,380 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes maturing on
April 15, 2018 (9.25% Secured Notes). The 9.25% Secured Notes were recorded at fair value which was equal to the cash proceeds received from the issuance. These proceeds along with cash reserves were used to prepay the remaining
balances under the Original Term Loan and the Incremental Terms Loans in accordance with the Amended Credit Agreement (the Q2 2010 Debt Refinancing Transaction). Because cash proceeds were used for the prepayment, which relieved
Freescale Inc. and certain other Holdings I subsidiaries of their obligations associated with that liability outstanding under the Credit Facility, the transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC Subtopic
470-50. Furthermore, the $1,380 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Secured Notes was separately accounted for as an issuance of debt. (Refer to (Loss) Gain on Extinguishment or Modification of Long-Term Debt, Net in Note
2 for further discussion of this transaction.)

Third Quarter 2010 Debt Refinancing Transaction

On September 30, 2010, Freescale Inc. issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior unsecured notes maturing on
August 1, 2020 (10.75% Unsecured Notes). The 10.75% Unsecured Notes were recorded at fair value which was equal to the cash proceeds received from the issuance. The gross proceeds were used to repurchase a portion of the existing
senior unsecured notes in the following amounts: $376 million of 8.875% Unsecured Notes, $252 million of the PIK-Election Notes and $122 million of the Floating Rate Notes, in each case as defined below. This transaction is referred to as the
Q3 2010 Debt Refinancing Transaction and was completed in compliance with the Amended Credit Agreement as well as the indentures governing our senior secured, senior unsecured and senior subordinated notes (the Indentures).
Because cash proceeds were used for the repurchases, which relieved Freescale Inc. and certain other Holdings I subsidiaries of their obligations associated with that portion of the liability outstanding under the 8.875% Unsecured Notes, the
PIK-Election Notes and the Floating Rate Notes, the transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC Subtopic 470-50. Furthermore, the $750 million aggregate principal amount of 10.75% Unsecured Notes was separately
accounted for as an issuance of debt. (Refer to (Loss) Gain on Extinguishment or Modification of Long-Term Debt, Net in Note 2 for further discussion of this transaction.)

Open-Market Bond Repurchases

During 2010, Freescale Inc. repurchased $120
million of its senior unsecured 8.875% notes due 2014 (8.875% Unsecured Notes), $78 million of its senior unsecured 9.125%/9.875% PIK-election notes due 2014 (PIK-Election Notes) and $15 million of its senior unsecured
floating rate notes due 2014 (Floating Rate Notes) at a $15 million pre-tax gain, net. During 2009, Freescale Inc. repurchased $60 million of its 8.875% Unsecured Notes and $39 million of its PIK-Election Notes at a $32 million pre-tax
gain, net. During 2008, Freescale Inc. repurchased $89 million of its senior subordinated 10.125% notes due 2016 (Senior Subordinated Notes), $63 million of its 8.875% Unsecured Notes and $25 million of its Floating Rate Notes at a $79
million pre-tax gain, net. The repurchase price on all open-market repurchases included accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the repurchase date.

Debt Exchange

In 2009, Freescale Inc. invited eligible holders of each of
its Floating Rate Notes, PIK-Election Notes, 8.875% Unsecured Notes, and Senior Subordinated Notes to participate as a lender in the issuance of senior secured incremental term loans under the existing Credit Facility (the Incremental Term
Loans) in a transaction referred to as the Debt Exchange. (The Floating Rate Notes, the PIK-Election Notes, the 8.875% Unsecured Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to as the Existing
Notes.)

Through the Debt Exchange, $2,829 million aggregate principal amounts of Existing Notes were retired. Based on
the principal amount of Existing Notes delivered and accepted, Freescale Inc. issued approximately $924 million principal amount of Incremental Term Loans at a $384 million discount. Upon completion of the Debt Exchange, the carrying value of
Freescale Inc.s outstanding long-term debt obligations on the Existing Notes declined by $2,853 million, including $24 million of accrued PIK Interest (as defined later in this Note). This decline was partially offset by the issuance of
Incremental Term Loans with a carrying value of $540 million.

Credit Facility

At December 31, 2010, Freescale Inc. had senior credit facilities (the Credit Facility) that included (i) the
aforementioned $2,237 million Extended Term Loan and (ii) a revolving credit facility, including letters of credit and swing line loan sub-facilities, with a committed capacity of $590 million (Revolver), as reduced by the $112
million prepayment made in connection with the A&E Arrangement and excluding a non-funding commitment attributable to Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (LCPI), which filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on October 5, 2008. LCPI has a commitment in the amount of $48 million of the Revolver after the aforementioned prepayment, but borrowing requests have not been honored by
LCPI.

Extended Maturity Term Loan

At December 31, 2010, $2,237 million was outstanding under the Extended Term Loan, which will mature on
December 1, 2016. The Extended Term Loan bears interest, at Freescale Inc.s option, at a rate equal to a margin over either

##### Table of Contents

(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 Extended Term Loan at December 31, 2010 was 4.51%. (The spread over LIBOR with respect to the
Extended Term Loan is 4.25%.) Under the Amended Credit Agreement, Freescale Inc. is required to repay a portion of the Extended Term Loan in quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts approximating $29 million, with the remaining balance due
upon maturity. In addition, under the Amended Credit Agreement, there is an early maturity acceleration clause associated with the Extended Term Loan such that principal amounts under the Extended Term Loan will become due and payable on
September 1, 2014 if (i) on such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes, the PIK-Election Notes and the 8.875% Unsecured Notes exceeds $500 million and (ii) Freescale Inc.s total leverage ratio as of
June 30, 2014 (as calculated under the Amended Credit Agreement) is greater than 4:1.

Revolver

At December 31, 2010, the Revolver had a remaining borrowing capacity of $27 million, excluding the LCPI commitment
and $31 million in outstanding letters of credit. The Revolver will be available through December 1, 2012 at which time all outstanding principal amounts will become due and payable. The Revolver bears interest, at Freescale Inc.s option,
at a rate equal to an applicable 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 Revolver at December 31, 2010 was 2.26%. (The spread over LIBOR with respect to the Revolver is
2.00%.) The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolver may be reduced subject to the attainment of certain leverage ratios. Freescale Inc. is also required to pay quarterly facility commitment fees on the unutilized capacity of the Revolver
at an initial rate of 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. Freescale Inc. is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees.

The obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Parent Companies and, subject to certain
exceptions, each of our material domestic wholly owned Restricted Subsidiaries, as defined in the Amended Credit Facility agreement. As of December 31, 2010, Freescale 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 Freescale 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 Freescale 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 Freescale 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 Freescale Inc. In addition, in the event that Freescale Inc. (i) transfers foreign subsidiaries to, or forms 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) transfers assets to such foreign subsidiaries, Freescale 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 Extended Term Loan in direct order of maturity. Based on our annual
operating results for the year ended December 31, 2008, we made a mandatory prepayment based on excess cash flows of approximately $24 million in February 2009.

Senior Notes

Freescale Inc. had an aggregate principal
amount of $4,842 million in senior secured, senior unsecured and senior subordinated notes outstanding at December 31, 2010, consisting of (i) $750 million of senior secured 10.125% notes due 2018 (10.125% Secured Notes);
(ii) $1,380 million of senior secured 9.25% notes due 2018 (9.25% Secured Notes); (iii) $57 million of Floating Rate Notes due 2014; (iv) $255 million of PIK-Election Notes due 2014; (v) $886 million of 8.875%
Unsecured Notes due 2014; (vi) $750 million of senior unsecured 10.75% notes due 2020 (10.75% Secured Notes); and (vii) $764 million of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016. With regard to our fixed rates notes, interest is
payable semi-annually in arrears as follows: (i) every March 15thand September 15thcommencing on September 15, 2010 for the 10.125% Secured Notes; (ii) every April 15thand October 15thcommencing on October 15, 2010 for the 9.25% Secured Notes; (iii) every February 1stand August 1stcommencing February 1, 2011 for the 10.75% Unsecured Notes, and
(iv) every June 15thand December 15thcommencing on June 15, 2007 for the PIK-Election Notes, the
8.875% Unsecured Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes. The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a rate, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR (which was 0.30% on December 31, 2010) plus 3.875% per annum, which is payable quarterly
in arrears on every
March 15th, June 15th, September 15thand December 15thcommencing March 15, 2007.

PIK-Interest

For any interest period through December 15, 2011, Freescale Inc. may elect to pay interest on the PIK-Election Notes (i) in cash, (ii) by electing to use the payment-in-kind (PIK) feature
and increasing the principal amount of the PIK-Election Notes (PIK Interest), 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 PIK Interest
will accrue at the cash interest rate plus 0.75% per annum. After December 15, 2011, Freescale Inc. must pay all interest payments on the PIK-Election Notes in cash, and they will be treated as having been issued with original issue
discount for federal income tax purposes.

For the interest periods ending on June 15, 2009 and December 15, 2009,
Freescale Inc. elected to use the PIK Interest feature of its outstanding PIK-Election Notes. As a result, Freescale Inc. increased the principal amount of the PIK-Election Notes by approximately $53 million in 2009. Freescale Inc. also elected to
use the PIK Interest feature for the interest period ending on June 15, 2010 and, accordingly, as of December 31, 2009, $2 million of accrued PIK Interest associated with the PIK-Election Notes was classified as long-term debt on the
accompanying audited Consolidated Balance Sheet. In 2010, in connection with the PIK Interest election for the interest period ending June 15, 2010, Freescale Inc. increased the principal amount of the PIK-Election Notes by approximately
$25 million. With respect to the interest that was due and will be due on December 15, 2010 and June 15, 2011, however, Freescale Inc. elected to make such interest payment by paying cash at the cash interest rate of 9.125%.

Registration Agreement

On September 30, 2010, in connection with the issuance of the 10.75% Unsecured Notes, Freescale Inc. entered into a registration rights agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) among
Freescale Inc., the Guarantors and the initial purchaser of the 10.75% Unsecured Notes. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, Freescale Inc. has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file an exchange offer registration statement or,
under specific circumstances, a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Pursuant to such exchange offer registration statement, Freescale Inc. will issue, in exchange for tendered 10.75% Unsecured Notes,
registered securities containing terms substantially identical in all material respects to the 10.75% Unsecured Notes. Pursuant to the Registration Right Agreement, additional interest will be assessed with respect to the 10.75% Unsecured Notes in
the event a registration default occurs.

Guarantees and Right of Payment

The 10.125% Secured Notes are governed by the indenture dated as of February 19, 2010 (the 10.125% Indenture), and the
9.25% Secured Notes are governed by the indenture dated as of April 13, 2010 (the 9.25% Indenture). Each of Freescale Inc.s parent companies, indirect parent companies and wholly owned subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness,
joint and severally, under the Credit Facility (the Guarantors) also guarantees, jointly and severally, the 10.125% Secured Notes and 9.25% Secured Notes on a senior secured basis. The Floating Rate Notes, PIK-Election Notes, 8.875%
Unsecured Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes are governed by two indentures dated as of December 1, 2006, as supplemented and amended, and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors. While the Floating Rate Notes, PIK-Election
Notes and 8.875% Unsecured Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, the Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed with a guarantee that ranks junior in right of payment to all of the other senior indebtedness of each Guarantor. The 10.75%
Unsecured Notes are governed by the indenture dated as of September 30, 2010 (the 10.75% Indenture). The Guarantors also guarantee, jointly and severally, the 10.75% Unsecured Notes on a senior unsecured basis.

Relative to our overall indebtedness, the 10.125% Secured Notes and the 9.25% Secured Notes rank in right of payment (i) pari passu
to our existing senior secured indebtedness, (ii) senior to senior unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the value of any underlying collateral, but otherwise pari passu to such senior unsecured indebtedness, and (iii) senior to all
senior subordinated indebtedness. The Floating Rate Notes, PIK-Election Notes, 8.875% Unsecured Notes and 10.75% Unsecured Notes rank in right of payment (i) junior to senior secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of any underlying
collateral, but otherwise pari passu to such senior secured indebtedness, (ii) pari passu to our existing senior unsecured indebtedness, and (iii) senior to all senior subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured
senior subordinated obligations and rank junior in right of payment to all other of our senior secured and unsecured indebtedness.

Redemption

Freescale
Inc. may redeem, in whole or in part, the 10.125% Secured Notes at any time prior to March 15, 2014 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus the applicable
make-whole premium, as defined in the 10.125% Indenture. Freescale Inc. may redeem, in whole or in part, the 10.125% Secured Notes at any time after March 15, 2014 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal balance, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus a premium declining over time as set forth in the 10.125% Indenture. In addition, at any time on or prior to March 15, 2013, Freescale Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the
10.125% Secured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 110.125% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as described in the 10.125% Indenture. If Freescale Inc.
experiences certain change of control events, holders of the 10.125% Secured Notes may require Freescale Inc. to repurchase all or part of their 10.125% Secured Notes at 101% of the principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Indenture. In addition, until April 15, 2013, Freescale Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 9.25% Secured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109.25% of the aggregate
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as described in the 9.25% Indenture. If Freescale Inc. experiences certain change of control events, holders of the 9.25% Secured Notes may require Freescale Inc. to repurchase all or part
of their 9.25% Secured Notes at 101% of the principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Freescale Inc. may redeem,
in whole or in part, the Floating Rate Notes at any time on or after December 15, 2008, and the PIK-Election Notes and 8.875% Unsecured 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.

Freescale Inc. may redeem, in whole or in part, the 10.75% Unsecured Notes at any time prior to August 1, 2015 at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus the applicable make-whole premium, as defined in the 10.75% Indenture. Freescale Inc. may redeem, in whole or in part, the 10.75% Unsecured Notes, at
any time on or after August 1, 2015 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus a premium declining over time as set forth in the 10.75% Indenture. In addition, at any time on or
prior to August 1, 2013, Freescale Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal balance of 10.75% Unsecured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 110.75% of the aggregate principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as described in the 10.75% Indenture. If Freescale Inc. experiences certain change of control events, holders of the 10.75% Unsecured Notes may require Freescale Inc. to repurchase all or part of their
10.75% Unsecured Notes at 101% of the principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Freescale 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 governing the Senior Subordinated Notes. Freescale 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.

Hedging
Transactions

In connection with the issuance of our variable rate debt, Freescale Inc. also entered into interest rate
swap and cap contracts with various counterparties as a hedge of the variable cash flows of our variable interest rate debt. See Note 5 for further details of these interest rate swap and cap contracts.

Covenants

Freescale
Inc.s Credit Facility and Indentures contain restrictive covenants that limit the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred shares; pay dividends and make other restricted
payments; impose limitations on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions; 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, Freescale Inc. must comply with conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing. The Credit Facility and
Indentures also provide for customary events of default, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants and cross defaults or cross acceleration provisions. Freescale Inc. was in compliance with these
covenants as of December 31, 2010.

Other Indebtedness

During 2010, one of our foreign subsidiaries fully repaid the remaining outstanding balance under a short-term Japanese yen-denominated revolving loan. We do not utilize any other short-term borrowing
instruments.

Fair Value

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of our long-term debt, excluding accrued PIK Interest on the PIK-Election Notes, was approximately $7,863 million and $7,036 million, 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.

Debt Service

We are required to make debt service payments under the terms of our debt agreements. The obligated debt payments for 2011 is $29 million.
Future obligated debt payments are $560 million in 2012, $29 million in 2013, $1,227 million in 2014, $29 million in 2015 and $5,737 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.

In order to reduce the exposure of our financial results to the fluctuations in exchange rates, our principal strategy has
been to naturally hedge the foreign currency-denominated liabilities on our balance sheet against corresponding foreign currency-denominated assets such that any changes in liabilities due to fluctuations in exchange rates are inversely offset by
changes in their corresponding foreign currency assets. In order to further reduce our exposure to U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations, we have entered into foreign currency hedge agreements related to the currency and the amount of expenses
we expect to incur in jurisdictions in which our operations are located. No assurance can be given that our hedging transactions will prevent us from incurring higher foreign currency-denominated costs when translated into our U.S. dollar-based
accounts in the event of a weakening of the U.S. dollar on the non-hedged portion of our costs and expenses.

At
December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts not designated as accounting hedges with notional amounts totaling approximately $187 million and $192 million, respectively, which are accounted for at fair value. These
forward contracts have original maturities of less than three months. The fair value of these forward contracts was a net unrealized gain of less than $1 million and a net unrealized loss of $2 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Forward contract gains (losses) of less than $1 million, $(2) million and $(25) million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were recorded in other, net in the accompanying audited Statements of Operations related to our realized and
unrealized results associated with these foreign exchange contracts. 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 U.S. dollars, the notional amounts of the most significant foreign exchange hedge positions not designated as accounting
hedges as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:

|Taiwan Dollar     |  | $                | (12 | ) |                  | $ | 2   |  

We have provided $15
million in collateral to three of our counterparties in connection with our foreign exchange hedging program as of December 31, 2010. This amount is classified as restricted cash and is recorded as a component of other current assets on the
accompanying audited Consolidated Balance Sheet. We do not offset the fair value of our derivative instruments against any rights to reclaim cash collateral.

Cash Flow Hedges

At December 31, 2010, we had Malaysian Ringgit forward and option contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $114 million and a fair value of a net unrealized gain
of $3 million. These forward and option contracts have original maturities of less than one year. Gains of less than $1 million for 2010 were recorded in cost of sales in the accompanying audited Statements of Operations related to our realized
results associated with these cash flow hedges. Management believes that these financial instruments will 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 forecasted expenses being hedged. We had no foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2009.

Interest Rate Risk

We use interest rate swap agreements to assist in managing the floating rate portion of our debt portfolio. As of December 31, 2010
and 2009, we had effectively fixed our interest rate on $200 million of our variable rate debt through December 1, 2012 with interest rate swaps. In the second quarter of 2009, we settled a LBSF swap arrangement with a notional amount of $400
million at a $4 million gain. LBSF filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on October 3, 2008. An interest rate swap is a contractual
agreement to exchange payments based on underlying interest rates. We are required to pay the counterparties a stream of fixed interest payments at an average rate of 3.76%, and in turn, receive variable interest payments based on three-month LIBOR
(0.30% at December 31, 2010) from the counterparties. As our interest rate swaps do not qualify as cash flow hedges, the net receipts or payments from the interest rate swap agreements are recorded in other, net in the accompanying audited
Consolidated Statement of Operations, in accordance with ASC Topic 815. During 2010 and 2009, we recognized pre-tax losses of $8 million and $4 million, respectively, in other, net associated with the change in fair value of these interest rate
swaps.

In December 2007, we elected to switch from 3-month LIBOR to 1-month LIBOR on our Original 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 qualified as a cash flow hedge; therefore, in the first quarter of 2008, we
recognized a $25 million pre-tax loss in other, net. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, 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; and, as these interest rate swaps did not meet the requirements of a cash flow hedge, all future related gains and losses due to the change in fair value were recognized in other, net.
Accordingly, in 2008, we recognized a total pre-tax loss of $38 million in other expense related to the cumulative ineffective portion and subsequent change in fair value of our interest rate swaps that were no longer classified as a cash flow
hedge. Although we elected to switch back to 3-month LIBOR on our Term Loan in December 2008, we elected not to re-designate the related interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815.

The remaining effective portion of these interest rate swaps at December 31, 2008 was approximately $6 million, net of tax, and was
included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. This unrealized loss was exclusive of the aforementioned pre-tax loss on the ineffective portion of the interest rate swaps. This amount was fully recognized as other, net or interest expense through
December 2009 in the accompanying audited Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In addition to interest rate swap
agreements, we also use interest rate cap agreements to manage our floating rate debt. During 2009, we entered into two interest rate cap contracts with two counterparties as a hedge of the variable cash flows of our variable interest rate debt.
Under the terms of these contracts, we have effectively hedged $400 million of our variable interest rate debt at a cap rate of 2.75%. The caps became effective on December 1, 2009 and will mature on December 1, 2012. Accordingly, since
December 1, 2009, we continue to pay interest at a LIBOR-based rate (LBR) on $400 million of our variable interest rate debt, as long as the LBR does not exceed 2.75%. If the LBR exceeds the cap rate in any given interest period, we will
subsequently receive a payment from the counterparty to ensure the LBR we pay is no more than 2.75%, net on the related variable interest rate debt. Any payments from the interest rate cap agreements will be recorded in other, net. As these interest
rate caps do not meet the requirements of a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815, all related gains and losses due to the change in fair value are recognized in other, net. During 2010 and 2009, we recognized pre-tax losses of $6 million and less
than $1 million, respectively, in other, net associated with the change in fair value of these interest rate caps.

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. We also enter into master netting arrangements with counterparties when possible to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions. A master netting arrangement may allow counterparties
to net settle amounts owed to each other as a result of multiple, separate derivative transactions. As of December 31, 2010, our exposure to counterparty risk is immaterial.

Share and Equity-based Compensation Plans

Option Exchange

On April 6, 2009, Holdings I
granted options to purchase shares of Holdings I common shares under the Freescale Holdings 2006 Management Incentive Plan and the 2007 Non-Executive Incentive Plan by entering into new non-qualified option agreements with certain officers and
employees. The Compensation and Leadership Committee of the Holdings I board of directors approved the form of the non-qualified option agreements in connection with an exchange of existing vested and unvested Class B Limited Partnership Interests
in Freescale LP (Class B Interests) and options to purchase Holdings I common shares, in each case, for new options to purchase Holdings I common shares (Option Exchange). Under the terms of each of the agreements, the new
options have a term of ten years and vest and become exercisable in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of April 6thand are subject to the terms and conditions of the investors agreements. The exercise price for the new options
granted under both agreements is equal to the fair value per share of Holdings I common shares on the date of grant.

Previously granted options and Class B Interests were exchanged for new options with a lower exercise price granted on a one-for-one
basis for options and on a one-for-one hundred forty-four basis for Class B Interests (including the 1.2472% Class B-2008 Series Interest discussed later in this Note). Options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 16 million shares of
Holdings I common shares, 67 thousand Class B Interests and the 1.2472% Class B-2008 Series Interest were exchanged for new options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 38 million shares of Holdings I common shares. Options granted
pursuant to the Option Exchange have an exercise price of $1.24 per share. In accordance ASC Topic 718, the increase in the fair value of the Holdings I options that occurred in connection with the Option Exchange resulted in a modification charge
of approximately $18 million, which will be recognized over the vesting period of the new options (four years), less estimated forfeitures.

Non-qualified and Rollover Options

In connection with the Merger, we adopted a new share-based compensation plan (2006 Management Incentive Plan), which authorizes share-based awards to be granted to management, key employees
and directors for up to 31.2 million common shares. On February 4, 2009, the 2006 Management Incentive Plan was amended to allow up to approximately 60.5 million Holdings I common shares to be issued under this plan. On
October 28, 2009, the 2006 Management Incentive Plan was further amended to allow up to approximately 69.5 million Holdings I common shares to be issued under the plan. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has issued approximately
49 million non-qualified options in Holdings I (2006 Options), which remain outstanding, with exercise prices ranging from $1.24 to $7.00 per share, to certain members of management pursuant to the 2006 Management Incentive Plan.
(These options include those issued in connection with the Option Exchange.) 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 certain investor
agreements. As of December 31, 2010 we had approximately $44 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:

In accordance with ASC
Topic 718, the computation of the expected volatility assumptions used in the Black-Scholes calculations for grants was based on historical volatilities and implied volatilities of peer companies. The Company utilized the volatilities of peer
companies due to its lack of extensive history as a public company and the fact its current equity is not publicly traded. The peer companies operate in the semiconductor industry and are of similar size. When establishing its expected life
assumptions, we use the simplified method prescribed in ASC Topic 718 for companies that do not have adequate historical data. The risk-free interest rate is measured as the prevailing yield for a U.S. Treasury security with a
maturity similar to the expected life assumption.

A summary of changes in the 2006 Options outstanding during the year ended
December 31, 2010 is presented below:

Under the 2006 Management Incentive Plan, we also issued fully vested options (Rollover
Options), to purchase approximately 4.2 million shares of our common shares, in exchange for approximately 740 thousand fully vested Freescale Inc. 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 were determined based on a formula that maintained the intrinsic value of the Freescale Inc. options and maintained the fair value of the award before and after
conversion. Using the closing price of Freescale Inc.s common shares 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 options that existed prior to the Merger.

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 shares in the form of share-based awards to key employees. On October 28, 2009, the 2007 Non-Executive
Incentive Plan was amended to allow up to approximately 10.9 million shares of Holdings I common shares to be issued under the plan. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 8.7 million non-qualified options (2007 Options),
with exercise prices ranging from $1.24 to $7.00 per share, have been issued, and remain outstanding, to key employees. (These options include those issued in connection with the Option Exchange.) The 2007 Options vest 25% on each of the first,
second, third and fourth anniversaries of the options grant date. As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $7 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.

Class B Interests

In connection with the Merger, Freescale LP adopted a new equity-based management compensation plan (2006 Interest Plan), under which 344 thousand unvested Class B Interests in Holdings
were issued to thirteen individuals, thereby making those individuals parties to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Freescale LP (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 accompanying audited Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, approximately 37 thousand Class B Interests became vested upon the separation of six other executives in 2008, and
concurrently, approximately 68 thousand Class B Interests were forfeited. In addition, approximately six thousand Class B Interests became vested upon the separation of 2 executives in 2009, and concurrently, approximately
three thousand Class B Interests were forfeited. As of December 31, 2010, 130 thousand Class B Interests, held by former executives of Freescale Inc., remain outstanding. (These Class B Interests exclude those canceled in exchange for
new options to purchase Holdings I common shares in connection with the Option Exchange.)

In 2008, Freescale LP 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 Freescale LP, dated as of February 11, 2008 (Amended LP Agreement), which
provide the holder an interest in Freescale LP 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 Interest was granted to our Chief
Executive Officer on April 7, 2008. However, the grant date for financial reporting was 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 was canceled in exchange for options to purchase shares of Holdings I common shares in connection with the Option Exchange.

Restricted Stock Units and Deferred
Stock Units

Under the terms of the 2006 Management Incentive Plan, restricted stock units (RSUs) have been granted to
certain members of management, key employees and directors. The grants are rights to receive shares of our common shares 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.

During 2009, we also granted performance-based deferred stock units (DSUs) to certain executives of Freescale Inc. under the 2006
Management Incentive Plan. The number of DSUs that could be earned pursuant to such awards range from zero to twice the number of target DSUs established at the grant date based upon the achievement of EBITDA and revenue growth levels measured
against a group of peer companies over a three-year period from January 1, 2009. The performance-based DSUs, to the extent earned, vest 100% on the fourth anniversary of the grant date.

A summary of changes in RSUs and DSUs outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2010 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 ASC Topic 718, 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.

Under the terms of the RSU and DSU award agreements, shares of common shares are not issued to the participant upon vesting of the RSU or DSU. 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 fifth or seventh anniversary of the date of grant for RSUs and
January 5, 2013 for DSUs. Vested RSUs and DSUs are considered outstanding until shares have been issued.

As of
December 31, 2010, we had approximately $4 million in unamortized expense related to RSUs and DSUs, net of expected forfeitures, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of two to four years in additional paid-in capital.

In connection with the Merger, certain Freescale Inc. fully vested options and partially vested RSUs were exchanged for
similar cash-settled liability awards. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, 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 Freescale Inc. RSUs will vest through the second anniversary of their original grant date. The aggregate value of these awards was approximately $4 million as of December 31, 2009. During 2010, all remaining awards were settled.

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 $29 million in 2010, $6
million in 2009, and $38 million in 2008.

Incentive Plans

We are parties to 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. In conjunction with this awards program, Freescale Inc. established the Freescale Bonus Plan. Freescale 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 at our sole discretion. We recognized expense of $102 million in 2010, $61 million in 2009, and $3 million in 2008 related
to this plan.

Pension and Post-retirement Benefit Plans

Effective as of December 31, 2007, we adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 715 that require 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. ASC Topic 715 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 31stfor
2010 and 2009.

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 Freescale 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 Freescale Inc. no longer participating in the Motorola plans. We continue to offer defined benefit plans to approximately 2,190 non-U.S. employees.

Net periodic benefit cost for pension plans was $10 million, $12 million, and $14 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Our
contributions to these plans aggregated $3 million, $5 million, and $12 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The
weighted average assumptions for these benefit plans as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:



|                               |  |                  |      |   |                  |  |      |

|Discount rates                 |  |                  | 3.20 | % |                  |  | 3.60 | %
|Expected return on plan assets |  |                  | 2.60 | % |                  |  | 4.20 | %
|Rate of compensation increase  |  |                  | 2.80 | % |                  |  | 2.80 | %

The overall expected
long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on expected returns on individual asset types included in asset portfolios provided by pension plan fund managers, as well as expected interest on insurance contracts purchased to fund pension
benefits.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $113 million and $106 million at
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The net projected benefit obligation of these plans was $127 million and $113 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, plan assets of approximately
$66 million and $61 million, respectively, were principally invested in equity, debt and guaranteed investment securities.

Post-retirement Health Care Benefits

Certain retiree benefits are available to eligible U.S. employees meeting certain age and service requirements upon termination of
employment through the Motorola Post-retirement Healthcare Plan. At the Distribution Date, Freescale 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 Freescale Inc. was $118 million, and these benefits were frozen at the Distribution Date. Motorola
also apportioned $68 million in plan assets from their benefit trusts related to this obligation; this obligation was paid by Motorola in 2008.

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

The measurement date for the valuation of our obligations and assets for the
Post-retirement Healthcare Plan was December 31stfor
2010 and 2009. 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:

Benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are estimated to be $13 million in 2011, $14
million in 2012, $14 million in 2013, $14 million in 2014, $14 million in 2015 and $70 million for the next five years thereafter.

The weighted average assumptions for these retiree medical benefits as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:



|                                                   |  |                  |      |   |                  |  |      |

|Discount rate                                      |  |                  | 5.25 | % |                  |  | 5.50 | %
|Assumed health care trend rate for next year       |  |                  | 8.06 | % |                  |  | 9.12 | %
|Assumed ultimate health care trend rate            |  |                  | 5.00 | % |                  |  | 5.00 | %
|Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate |  |                  | 2017 |   |                  |  | 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 2011 costs by less than $1 million and increase the benefit obligation at December 31, 2010 by $6
million. The estimated effect of a 1% decrease in assumed health care cost trends would decrease 2011 costs by less than $1 million and decrease the benefit obligation at December 31, 2010 by $5 million.

Plan Assets Underlying Pension Plans

The pension plans for certain of our foreign subsidiaries have underlying assets, while pension plans of other foreign subsidiaries are unfunded. Our overall investment strategy with regard to these
pension assets is to achieve a wide diversification of asset types, fund strategies and fund managers with resulting future cash flows associated with such investments sufficient to fund anticipated future pension payments. The target allocations
for plan assets are 37% equity securities, 35% cash investment and 28% fixed income securities, although the actual plan asset allocations may be within a specified range of these targets. Equity securities primarily include investments in U.S. and
international large-cap and mid-cap companies. Cash investments primarily include cash balances and investments in time deposits. Fixed income securities include international government securities, corporate bonds from diversified industries,
municipal bonds, and U.S. Treasury securities. The actual asset allocations are reviewed and rebalanced on a periodic basis to maintain the target allocations. The portfolio diversification provides protection against a single security or class of
securities having a disproportionate impact on aggregate performance.

The fair values of our pension plan assets at
December 31, 2010 by asset category, utilizing the fair value hierarchy discussed in Note 3, are as follows:

Our interest in the common collective trust investments are managed by one custodian. Consistent with our
investment strategy, the custodian has invested the assets across a widely diversified portfolio of U.S. and international equity and fixed income securities. Fair values of each security within the collective trust as of December 31, 2010 were
obtained from the custodian and are based on quoted market prices of individual investments; however, since the fund itself does not have immediate liquidity or a quoted market price, these assets are considered Level 2.

Our insurance contract pension assets represent a claim on a policy value which are independent from the value of investments underlying
it, as the insurer is obliged to guarantee this amount regardless of (i) how the amount is invested, (ii) the value of the insurers investment at a point in time, and (iii) the future fluctuations in value of the insurers
assets underlying the policies. This guaranty is demanded by the German Federal Insurance Board, and any insurer must accept and declare this guaranty in its business terms, otherwise their terms are not approved. The value of the insurance
contracts are considered Level 2.

(7) Income Taxes

The Company is a Bermuda exempted Limited Liability Company. Bermuda does not impose corporate income taxes. Our operations are conducted through our various subsidiaries in a number of countries
throughout the world. Consequently, income taxes have been provided based on the laws and rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted or in which we or our subsidiaries are considered resident for income tax purposes.

Components of (loss) earnings before income taxes are as follows:

In 2010, cash paid for taxes, net of cash refunds, was $14 million. In 2009, cash received from refunds, net
of cash paid for taxes, was $3 million, respectively. In 2008, cash paid for taxes, net of cash received for tax refunds, was $11 million.

ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740) 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 we have incurred cumulative losses in the United States, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on substantially all of its
U.S. net deferred tax assets after considering all positive and negative factors as to the recoverability of these assets. In addition, we recorded valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions after considering all positive and negative
factors as to the recoverability of these assets.

During 2009, we recorded a $2,264 million net gain as a result of the
reduction in our outstanding long-term debt in connection with the Debt Exchange. We continue to be in an overall three year U.S. cumulative loss position, inclusive of the cancellation of debt gain. As aforementioned, a valuation allowance of $560
million was recorded on our U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008, so substantially all of the U.S. tax expense related to the cancellation of debt income was offset by a beneficial release of the valuation allowance on our U.S.
deferred tax assets. We had a $270 million non-cash income tax benefit related to the release of a U.S. valuation allowance in connection with a local tax election resulting in income taxes on unremitted earnings of one of our foreign subsidiaries
no longer being required.

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 2020. The income tax benefits attributable to the tax status of the subsidiaries with tax holidays are estimated to be approximately $2 million, $5 million, and $27 million for 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Significant components of deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:

We have provided additional deferred taxes for the anticipated repatriation of earnings of our foreign
subsidiaries where our management has determined that the foreign subsidiaries earnings are not indefinitely reinvested. For foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are indefinitely reinvested, no provision for income taxes has been provided. It
is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional income tax liabilities that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

Gross deferred tax assets were $1,570 million and $1,200 million at December 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively. Gross deferred tax liabilities were $576 million and $693 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Companys deferred tax positions are reflected in the following captions on the accompanying audited
Consolidated Balance Sheets:

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had valuation allowances of $740 million and $288 million against
certain of our deferred tax assets in the United States, and valuation allowances of $83 million and $101 million against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries, respectively, to reflect the deferred tax assets at the net amounts
that are more likely than not to be realized. Valuation allowances have been recorded on substantially all our U.S. 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 ASC Topic 740 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 U.S. 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.

During 2010, we recorded a
net increase to our valuation allowance of $434 million. This net increase consisted of a $452 million increase related to our U.S. valuation allowance, partially offset by an $18 million decrease in our overall foreign valuation allowance. The
increase in the U.S. valuation allowance is attributable to an overall increase in U.S. net deferred tax assets, of which $446 million was recorded through deferred tax expense, and a $6 million deferred tax benefit was recorded in other
comprehensive income. The decrease in the foreign valuation allowance was a result of recording a $19 million deferred tax benefit offset by $1 million deferred tax expense recorded in other comprehensive income.

At December 31, 2010, we had U.S. federal net operating losses of $818 million, which expire in the years 2016 through 2030; state
net operating losses of $441 million, which expire in the years 2011 through 2030; and foreign net operating losses of $90 million, which expire starting in 2013. We had U.S. federal research credits of $222 million, which expire in the years
2011 through 2030; state research credits of $88 million, which expire starting in 2018; and foreign research credits of $5 million, which expire starting in 2027. We also had foreign tax credits of $117 million, which expire in the years 2012
through 2020.

We account for uncertainty in tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740, which 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. ASC Topic 740 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 years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows:

##### Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, unrecognized tax benefits were $210 million,
$207 million and $203 million, respectively. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is $218 million, $219 million and $214 million, respectively. The amount of tax benefits included in this total
liability which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate is $66 million, $74 million and $84 million as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The remaining portion of the total liability in each year represents tax
benefits that were offset by valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets and would not have an impact to the effective tax rate.

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. During 2010, we released $4 million
of interest and penalties that were accrued in prior years. No net interest and penalties were accrued related to uncertain tax positions during 2009, as accruals offset releases. During 2008, we accrued interest and penalties of $4 million related
to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we had accrued interest and penalties of $8 million, $12 million and $12 million, respectively.

We file U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Our income tax returns for the 2004 through 2009 tax years are currently under examination by
various taxing authorities around the world. Although the resolution of open audits is highly uncertain, management considers it unlikely that the results of these examinations will have a material negative impact on our financial condition or
results of operations. It is reasonably possible that our existing liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the next twelve months primarily due to the progression of open audits or the expiration of statutes of
limitation. However, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of potential changes in our existing liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits due to various uncertainties, such as the unresolved nature of various audits. 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 2019. Rental expense, net of sublease income, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $34 million, $33 million, and $34
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, 2010 are $37 million, $30 million, $26 million, $23 million and $14
million, respectively, and $17 million thereafter. Minimum sublease income on operating leases is approximately $5 million in 2011, $6 million in 2012, $4 million in 2013, $1 million in 2014, $1 million in 2015 and $1 million in 2016. Currently
there is no minimum sublease income scheduled beyond 2016.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had $7 million and $18
million, respectively, in capital lease obligations. We recorded $1 million, $6 million, and $7 million in capital lease obligations in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under capital leases for each of the three
years subsequent to December 31, 2010 are $4 million, $2 million and $1 million, respectively. Currently, there are no capital lease payments scheduled beyond 2013.

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, 2010, our commitment is
$77 million through April 2011.

We have multi-year commitments under various software, service, supply and other contracts
requiring payments for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2010 of $120 million, $49 million, $37 million, $15 million and $4 million, respectively.

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, Freescale 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 Freescale 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, as the amount and timing of cash payments are fixed or readily
determinable, for the estimated remediation periods, ranging from 7 years to over 50 years. Due to the uncertain nature, the actual costs that will be incurred could differ significantly from the amounts

##### Table of Contents

accrued. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the undiscounted future cash flows are estimated at $88 million and $109 million, respectively. The expected payments for 2011 through 2015
are $6 million, $5 million, $4 million, $3 million and $3 million, respectively, with remaining expected payments of $67 million anticipated thereafter. Accruals at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $41 million (utilizing a discount rate of
5.59%) and $45 million (utilizing a discount rate of 6.5%), respectively, the majority of which are included in other liabilities on the accompanying audited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with related (reversals) charges to operating earnings of $(5)
million, less than $1 million, and $(1) million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. 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 noted in this section, 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, contractual and customer 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, Freescale Inc. must indemnify Motorola for certain liabilities related to our business incurred prior to our separation from Motorola.

On April 17, 2007, Tessera Technologies, Inc. filed a complaint against Freescale Inc., ATI Technologies, Inc., Motorola, Inc.,
Qualcomm, Inc., Spansion, Inc., Spansion LLC, and STMicroelectronics N.V. in the International Trade Commission (ITC) requesting the ITC to 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, Freescale 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 December 1, 2008, the administrative law judge issued his
determination finding in favor of the respondents and recommended that no injunction barring importation of the respondents products be entered. In accordance with its rights, Tessera petitioned the ITC to review the administrative law
judges determination on December 15, 2008. On May 20, 2009 the ITC issued a final order finding that all the respondents infringe on Tesseras asserted patents, and granted Tesseras request for a Limited Exclusion Order
prohibiting the importation of respondents infringing products. Freescale appealed the ITCs decision to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, which issued an opinion upholding the ITCs final order. Freescale has requested that the
Federal Circuit re-hear the appeal before the entire panel of justices. In September 2010, the asserted patents expired, thus nullifying the Limited Exclusion Order. We continue to assess the merits of the United States District Court
litigation and have recorded no associated liability as of December 31, 2010.

Panasonic Corporation is a former
Freescale Inc. licensee and paid royalties to Freescale Inc. for use of Freescale Inc. intellectual property under a patent license agreement that expired January 1, 2007. Since the expiration of that license, Panasonic has been operating
without a license to Freescale Inc. patents. After protracted license renewal negotiations which were not successful, Freescale Inc. filed several lawsuits against Panasonic and others, each asserting that Panasonic is infringing various Freescale
Inc. patents. On March 1, 2010, Freescale Inc. filed one lawsuit in the ITC seeking an exclusion order barring the importation of accused products into the United States, and two lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Texas (Austin) seeking unspecified monetary damages. On April 1, 2010, Panasonic filed related lawsuits against Freescale Inc. and others, asserting that Freescale Inc. infringes various Panasonic patents. One of these lawsuits
filed in the ITC seeks an exclusion order barring the importation of accused products into the United States, and two lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for New Jersey seek unspecified monetary damages. On April 7, 2010,
Panasonic filed an additional lawsuit against Freescale Inc. in Tokyo, Japan seeking an injunction prohibiting importation of accused products into Japan. On February 10, 2011 Freescale, Inc. and Panasonic executed a settlement agreement, including
a mutual release and cross-license, that terminates and resolves the ITC actions and all related lawsuits as between Freescale, Inc. and Panasonic. As part of the cross-license, Panasonic agreed to pay Freescale, Inc. a license fee for certain
patent licenses.

On December 1, 2010, Rambus, Inc. filed a complaint in the ITC against Freescale Inc., Broadcom
Corporation, LSI Corporation, Nvidia Corporation, STMicroelectronics, and Mediatek Inc. and 22 other customer respondents alleging, among other things, that certain products of Freescale Inc. infringe patents owned by Rambus relating to double data
rate memory controller interfaces and PCI Express technology. This ITC complaint seeks an exclusion order barring the importation of accused products into the United States. Also on December 1, 2010, Rambus filed related lawsuits in the
Northern District of California against Freescale Inc. and certain other respondents alleging, among other things, that certain Freescale Inc. products infringe on the same patents involved in the ITC matter and other patents owned by Rambus. Rambus
seeks unspecified monetary damages, enhanced damages, and injunctive relief. We continue to assess the merits of the ITC complaint and the Northern District of California lawsuit.

##### Table of Contents

The resolution of intellectual property litigation, including those matters described above,
may require us to pay damages for past infringement or to obtain a license under the other partys intellectual property rights that could require one-time license fees or ongoing royalties, require us to make material changes to our products
and/or manufacturing processes, require us to cross-license certain of our patents and other intellectual property and/or prohibit us from manufacturing or selling one or more products in certain jurisdictions, which could adversely impact our
operating results in future periods. If any of those events were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

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, 2010, 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, 2010, 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, 2010, 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 discounted cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model for the specific asset
being valued. 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. 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 then announced 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 relationships, trademarks/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 ASC Topic 350. 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 ASC Topic 360. As a result of these analyses, we recorded impairment charges of $5,350 million against goodwill (effectively
reducing our goodwill balance to zero) and $724 million, $98 million and $809 million against our customer relationship, trademark/tradename and developed technology/purchased license intangible assets, respectively, in our accompanying audited
Consolidated Statement of Operations for 2008.

Asset impairment charges of $6 million, $25 million and $88 million have been
included in reorganization of businesses, contract settlement, and other in the accompanying audited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The 2010 charges related to our
former manufacturing facility in East Kilbride, Scotland. The 2009 charges were related primarily to certain assets classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2009 (or previously classified as

held for sale) and in connection with our consolidation of leased facilities. The 2008 charges were attributable primarily to (i) a $59 million charge related to certain idle property, plant
and equipment assets, (ii) an $18 million charge related to certain research and development assets and (iii) a $7 million non-cash impairment charge related to our former manufacturing facility located in Tempe, Arizona.

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

We have executed a series of restructuring actions that are referred to as the Reorganization of Business Program that streamlined our cost structure and re-directed some research and
development investments into expected growth markets. These actions have reduced our workforce in our supply chain, research and development, sales, marketing and general and administrative functions. These actions included (i) the winding-down
of our cellular handset business, (ii) restructuring our participation in the IBM alliance (a jointly-funded research alliance), (iii) implementing a plan to discontinue our 150mm manufacturing operations at our facilities in East
Kilbride, Scotland and the planned closure of such facilities in Sendai, Japan and Toulouse, France and (iv) consolidating certain research and development, sales and marketing, and logistical and administrative operations.

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.

The $43 million used reflects cash payments made to employees separated as part of the Reorganization of
Business Program in 2010. We will make additional payments to these separated employees and the remaining approximately 1,420 employees through the first half of 2012. We reversed $19 million of severance accruals as a result of 170 employees
previously identified for separation who either resigned and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved. This reversal also includes amounts associated with outplacement
services and other severance-related costs that will not be incurred. We also recorded $8 million in charges related to severance payments associated with the separation of certain employees in management positions, reflecting the culmination of
workforce transformation efforts under the Reorganization of Business Program. In addition, we recorded $11 million of exit costs related primarily to underutilized office space which was vacated in the prior year in connection with our
Reorganization of Business Program and in accordance with ASC Topic 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. During 2010, $12 million of these exit costs were paid.

Asset Impairment Charges and Other Disposition Activities

During
2010, we recorded (i) a net benefit of $4 million related primarily to proceeds received in connection with the sale of our former facility in Dunfermline, Scotland which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2010 and (ii) $6 million of
non-cash impairment charges related primarily to our manufacturing facility in East Kilbride, Scotland, which is classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2010, and other items.

Other Reorganization of Business Programs

During 2010, we reversed
approximately $2 million of severance accruals related to reorganization of business programs initiated in periods preceding the third quarter of 2008. These reversals were due to a number of 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. As of December 31, 2010, we have no remaining severance, relocation or exit cost accruals associated with these programs.

Year Ended December 31, 2009

Reorganization of Business Program

In 2009, we recorded $298 million in net charges for severance costs primarily in connection with our planned closure of our manufacturing facilities in Sendai, Japan and Toulouse, France and severance
costs associated with the gradual wind-down of our cellular handset product offerings. Additional reorganization costs consisted primarily of severance costs related to our ongoing Reorganization of Business Program, including the general
consolidation of certain research and development, sales and marketing, and logistical and administrative operations. These net charges also included $15 million of severance reversals recorded as a result of employees previously identified for
separation who either resigned and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved. During 2009, we also recorded charges for exit costs of $24 million related primarily to
underutilized office space which was vacated in connection with a consolidation of certain research and development activities resulting from our Reorganization of Business Program.

Termination Benefits

We recorded $15 million in charges in 2009
related to our Japanese subsidiarys pension plan. These charges were related to certain termination benefits and settlement costs in connection with our planned closure of our manufacturing operations in Sendai, Japan in the fourth quarter of
2011 and other previously executed severance actions in Japan. In addition, in connection with our planned closure of our fabrication facility in Toulouse, France in the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a $9 million curtailment gain attributable
to certain of our French subsidiarys employee obligations.

Asset Impairment Charges and Disposition Activities

During 2009, we recorded $25 million of non-cash impairment charges related to certain assets classified as
held-for-sale (or previously classified as held-for-sale) and in connection with our consolidation of leased facilities. We also recorded gains of (i) $2 million associated with the disposition of certain equipment formerly used in our cellular
handset business and (ii) $2 million in connection with the sale of a parcel of land at our Toulouse, France manufacturing facility.

Other Reorganization of Business Programs

During 2009, we reversed approximately $4 million of severance accruals related to reorganization of business programs initiated in periods preceding the third quarter of 2008. These reversals were due to
a number of 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.

(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 Freescale LP pursuant to which the Sponsors and other investors in Freescale LP 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 (i) 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 or (ii) other consulting services provided to the Company by the Advisors and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Advisors while providing such consulting services. 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, 2010, 2009, and 2008, we recorded management fees of $17 million, $6
million, and $20 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expense.

(12) Supplemental Enterprise-Wide Information

Geographic Region Information

The following geographic region information includes net sales, as measured by each of our subsidiaries from which our products were purchased, as well as assets and property, plant & equipment
based on physical location. Net sales by geographic region for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, as well as assets and property, plant & equipment as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

(14) Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, Freescale Inc. continues as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Holdings I. The reporting entity
subsequent to the Merger is Holdings I, substantially all of which is owned by Freescale LP.

In connection with the
Merger and subsequent debt issuances associated with the Q2 and Q3 2010 Debt Refinancing Transactions, as well as the A&E Arrangement in the first quarter of 2010, we have $4,842 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured, senior
unsecured and senior subordinated notes (collectively, the Senior Notes) outstanding as of December 31, 2010, as disclosed in Note 4. The senior secured notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a secured, senior basis; the
senior unsecured 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 certain of the Parent Companies and SigmaTel, LLC (together, the Guarantors) on a senior secured, senior unsecured and 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, other than SigmaTel, LLC, none of
Freescale Inc.s domestic or foreign subsidiaries (Non-Guarantors), except for SigmaTel, LLC, guarantee the Senior Notes or Credit Facility (as defined in Note 4). In the future, other subsidiaries may be required to guarantee all
or a portion of the Senior Notes if and to the extent they guarantee the Credit Facility.

financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Freescale Inc., Freescale LP, Guarantors, Non-Guarantors and eliminations as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

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

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 SEC. An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010. Based on that evaluation,
the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of December 31, 2010. During the quarter ending on December 31, 2010, 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 U.S. GAAP.

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, 2010, 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, 2010, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective
based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to
provide only managements report in this annual report.

(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
|-------- | ----------------------

Executive
Summary

All of our executive officers are employees of Freescale Inc. Compensation and related matters are reviewed and
approved by the Compensation and Leadership Committee of Holdings I and the Compensation and Leadership Committee of Freescale Inc., which we refer to collectively as the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee of Holdings I and Freescale
Inc. consist of the same members.

Matters reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee include:



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



| |  |  | Base salary and bonus targets for the direct reports to our Chief Executive Officer, including our Named Executive Officers (the Compensation Committee
reviews and recommends the Chief Executive Officers base salary and bonus target to the board of directors);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Total target cash, which includes base salary and short-term cash incentive awards;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Long-term incentive awards; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | Employment agreements and executive perquisites, as applicable, for the direct reports to our Chief Executive Officer, including our Named Executive
Officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer whose compensation matters are reviewed and approved by the non-management members of the board of directors).
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

We believe that our senior management capabilities and leadership are significant factors in
our long-term success. Therefore, a principal objective of the Compensation Committee and our compensation programs is to attract, motivate and retain the most competent and skilled executives within the semiconductor industry. The principal
elements of total compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and the three highest paid individuals who were executive officers in 2010 (collectively called the Named Executive Officers), include:



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



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



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

Base salaries are determined and evaluated annually, relative to the composite market data for similar positions and roles within our peer group (described below), as well as salary relative to internal
comparable positions, and individual performance and contribution to Freescale. The Compensation Committee has the authority to approve an adjustment to an executives base salary, other than the Chief Executive Officers, if warranted,
during this annual review or 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 areas deemed critical to our success. Short-term cash incentive awards have a measurement period up to one year and are a key element of our pay for performance
philosophy. Short-term cash incentive targets are established within the context of the Incentive Performance Plan, commensurate with competitive targets for similar positions and roles within our peer group (described below), taking into account
the target relative to internal comparable positions, and individual performance and contribution to Freescale.

Long-term
incentive awards are designed to align and recognize individual and company performance in creating long-term shareholder value and align 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 2006 Management Incentive Plan (MIP) and the Freescale Semiconductor Holdings 2007 Employee Incentive Plan (EIP). Long-term incentive awards include options to purchase our common
shares restricted stock unit awards (including deferred stock unit awards) payable in our common shares and restricted cash awards. While we also have granted Class B limited partnership interests in Freescale LP under the Freescale LP 2006 Interest
Plan (Interest Plan), no Class B interests were held by any of our Named Executive Officers or other employees during 2010.

events, as provided under the employment agreements described in further detail below; and (iii) perquisites described in further detail below in the section entitled Benefits and Perquisites.

Our Named Executive Officers for 2010 are Richard M. Beyer (our Chief Executive Officer), Alan Campbell (our Chief Financial Officer),
Jonathan Greenberg, Dr. Reza Kazerounian and Henri Richard.

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 and paid to our Named Executive Officers.

Compensation
Philosophy

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

Guiding Principles

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



| |  |  | align the interests of management with the long-term interests of shareholders, without encouraging excessive or inappropriate risk taking;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | 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- and long-term objectives;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | provide increased long-term compensation in comparison to short-term compensation as levels of responsibility increase;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | align compensation 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 increased rewards for outstanding performance.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

Compensation Consultant and Peer Group Comparability

Management, in
coordination with the Compensation Committee, has engaged an outside consulting firm, Radford, an AON Hewitt Company, to provide market data, benchmarking and other compensation-related information used to prepare managements compensation
proposals to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee uses the information provided by Radford to review and analyze the Named Executive Officers compensation and considers information and advice provided by Radford to establish
the compensation of our other executives in accordance with our compensation philosophy.

The Compensation Committee uses
market data of companies from our peer group as one of the factors in determining base salary, total target cash and total compensation for the direct reports to our Chief Executive Officer, including Named Executive Officers (as well as for
recommending to the board of directors the compensation for our Chief Executive Officer). The Compensation Committee evaluates our peer group annually, and modifies the peer group as appropriate, considering the following factors: location, industry
(focus on semiconductors and technology), size (generally defined as a factor of total revenue), comparability of labor markets and product offerings, and research and development investment.

Applying Our Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation Committee annually reviews base salary, total target cash (consisting of base salary and short-term cash
incentive awards) and long-term incentive awards for the direct reports to our Chief Executive Officer, including Named Executive Officers, and our Chief Executive Officer. However, the Compensation Committee may also review and adjust base salary,
total target cash and long-term incentives at any time for special events such as promotion, 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, relation to internal comparable positions, individual performance and contribution to Freescale. Our programs are designed to reward executive officers who consistently demonstrate a commitment and ability to deliver the results
expected of our winning culture, and when Freescale achieves defined performance objectives.

The Compensation 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. Annually, the Chief Executive Officer reviews each of his direct
reports individual performance and also reviews with the Compensation Committee their base salary, total target cash and long-term incentive awards. The Compensation Committee reviews the recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer
along with the performance of each direct report and market data from our peer group to determine if any changes to compensation are warranted. The Compensation Committee has the authority through its charter to review and approve the compensation
of the direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer, including Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also reviews the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and annually recommends to our
board of directors any adjustments to the Chief Executive Officers base salary, total target cash 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.

Elements of Compensation

Total Target Cash

Total target cash consists of base salary and
short-term cash incentive awards, and is a key element of our compensation programs. With respect to long-term incentive awards, which are not part of total target cash, our strategy includes the use of a multi-year lump sum grant instead of
on-going annual grants because we have not had publicly traded equity since 2006. This design feature is important when evaluating our total target cash against total annual compensation for a given year. Annual total target cash compensation for
the direct reports to our Chief Executive Officer averages between 20% and 30% of total compensation over a three- or four-year period, when comparing annual cash compensation and long-term incentive awards. The percentage of total target cash
compensation in comparison to total compensation will fluctuate in a single year depending upon the timing of a multi-year lump sum grant.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee may adjust an executives base salary, other than the Chief Executive Officer, if warranted, during its annual review or upon special events such as promotion, change in
duties or for other reasons. At the first meeting in 2010, the Compensation Committee reviewed base salaries for the direct reports of our Chief Executive Officer, including the Named Executive Officers, and after considering each Named Executive
Officers base salary in comparison to the composite market data, relative to internal comparable positions, and individual performance and contribution, the Compensation Committee, and our board of directors as required, determined not to
adjust base salaries for 2010. The Compensation Committee also approved the base salary of Jonathan Greenberg the Named Executive Officer hired during 2010. The approved base salaries are listed below. Minimum base salary amounts are set forth in
each Named Executive Officers employment agreement.

Short-Term Cash Incentive
Compensation

Short-term cash incentive awards are granted under the Incentive Performance Plan, which is designed to
align corporate, organizational and business development goals and results, as well as promote the achievement of short-term financial and other business objectives. Our short-term cash incentive awards are also designed to reward the individual job
performance of employees against their established performance objectives. Short-term cash incentive awards are designed for a measurement period of up to one year, and are based on both corporate performance, measured against pre-established
performance objectives, and individual job performance.

Bonus Plans

Bonus plans may be based on measures such as cash flow, revenue, EBITDA, gross margin, customer satisfaction, design wins and quality,
among others, which can vary from period to period. Payments are calculated based on measurable pre-established performance objectives, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. Actual bonus payments made to the direct reports of our Chief
Executive Officer, including the Named Executive Officers, are determined by the Compensation Committee (except for the Chief Executive Officer whose bonus payments are determined by the board of directors).

During 2010, there were two bonus plans for our employees, including Named Executive Officers, the 2010 Freescale First Half Bonus Plan
and the 2010 Freescale Second Half Bonus Plan.

2010 First Half Bonus Plan and 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan

Under the 2010 First Half Bonus Plan and 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan, individual bonus targets varied by Named Executive Officer and were
based on composite market data from our peer group, total cash compensation among similar positions and roles at companies in our peer group, bonus target relative to internal comparable positions and contributions to Freescale. The individual bonus
targets for Named Executive Officers under the 2010 First Half Bonus Plan and 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan are set forth in the 2010 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table in column (d), and represent no changes from 2009 Bonus Targets, except for the
Named Executive Officers hired during 2010.

The 2010 First Half Bonus Plan and 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan consisted of
business performance factors and an individual performance factor. The business performance factors were calculated based on performance against pre-established performance objectives for each half-year plan. The individual performance factor was
established for each employee based upon an evaluation of an individuals contribution to Freescale and may range

from zero to two. Funding of the 2010 First Half Bonus Plan and 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan was contingent upon the achievement of a minimum EBITDA threshold. The formula for individual bonus
plan payments under the 2010 First Half Bonus Plan and 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan was:

Bonus Target X Business Performance
Factor X Individual Performance Factor = Bonus Payment

For the 2010 First Half Bonus Plan, the pre-established performance
objectives were as follows:

|2010 First Half Customer Quality Incident Cycle-time      |  |  | 10 | %

Under the 2010 First Half
Bonus Plan, if the minimum EBITDA threshold of 90% of the pre-established performance objective was not met, no amounts would have been paid. If the pre-established performance objectives were achieved the resulting business performance factor would
be 1.00.

The Compensation Committee believes EBITDA and revenue to be good measures of company performance and profitability.
For purposes of calculating the 2010 First Half Bonus Plan EBITDA, the Compensation Committee, after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, established an EBITDA performance objective excluding the effects of purchase accounting and other
items. We believe this performance objective represents the underlying performance of the company and is a more appropriate financial metric for purposes of our short-term cash incentive compensation. The targets are set to be aggressive, but
achievable, and represent an increase over prior period achievement to incentivize employees to support our future growth objectives.

In July 2010, the Compensation Committee evaluated our First Half 2010 achievement against performance objectives established under the 2010 First Half Bonus Plan, and determined (i) the 2010 First
Half EBITDA result exceeded the performance objective, (ii) the 2010 First Half Revenue result exceeded the performance objective, and (iii) the 2010 First Half Quality result was just below the performance objective, for a combined
business performance factor of 1.42. As a result of the challenging macro-economic environment and our ability to fund the bonus pool, the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to reduce the calculated bonus payments by 50%. Individual
bonus payments for the Chief Executive Officers direct reports, including Named Executive Officers, were further adjusted by an individual performance factor. The resulting bonus payments, approved by the Compensation Committee (and board of
directors for the Chief Executive Officer), are included in column (g) of the 2010 Summary Compensation Table.

For the
2010 Second Half Bonus Plan, the pre-established performance objectives were:



|                                                           |  |  |    |

##### Table of Contents

Under the 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan, if the minimum EBITDA threshold of 90% of the
pre-established performance objective was not met, no amounts would have been paid. If the pre-established performance objectives were achieved the resulting business performance factor would be 1.00.

In addition to the performance factors used in the 2010 First Half Bonus Plan, we included our annual design win goal in the 2010 Second
Half Bonus Plan because we believe that design wins are a key driver of future revenue for Freescale, measuring our success in winning competitive bid selection processes with customers.

For purposes of calculating the 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan EBITDA, the Compensation Committee, after consultation with the Chief
Executive Officer, established an EBITDA performance objective excluding the effects of purchase accounting and other items. We believe this performance objective represents the underlying performance of the company and is a more appropriate
financial metric for purposes of our short-term cash incentive compensation.

In January 2011, the Compensation Committee
evaluated our Second Half 2010 achievement against performance objectives established under the 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan and determined (i) the 2010 Second Half EBITDA result met the performance objective, (ii) the 2010 Second Half
Revenue result exceeded the performance objective, (iii) the 2010 Second Half Quality performance was just below the performance objective, and (iv) the 2010 annual design win performance was above the performance objective, for a combined
business performance factor of .97. After considering the Companys overall performance during the Second Half of 2010 and in light of the reduced bonus payments for the 2010 First Half Bonus, the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion
and increased the overall business performance factor of the 2010 Second Half Bonus to 1.00. Individual bonus payments for the Chief Executive Officers direct reports, including Named Executive Officers, each received an individual performance
factor of 1.00. Under the terms of his employment offer, Mr. Greenberg received a guaranteed bonus payment under the 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan of $127,500. The resulting bonus payments, approved by the Compensation Committee (and the board of
directors for the Chief Executive Officer), are included in column (g) of the 2010 Summary Compensation Table, excluding Mr. Greenberg whose bonus payment is included in column (d).

Individual bonus targets and actual bonus payments for the Named Executive Officers during 2010 are:

Long-Term Incentive Awards

Our long-term incentive awards are designed to align the individual interests of our employees with the interests of shareholders and reward individuals for the creation of long-term shareholder value.
These programs are also a key element of our retention and at-risk pay philosophy.

In order to provide competitive long-term
incentives to our Named Executive Officers in comparison to the composite market data from our peer group, our long-term incentive awards include options, restricted stock unit awards (including deferred stock unit awards) and restricted cash
awards. Our restricted cash awards supplement our options and restricted stock unit awards, as these awards are not publicly traded equity. Further, the Compensation Committee believes that long-term incentive awards granted to our Named Executive
Officers should include a higher proportion of options compared to other types of long-term incentive awards.

##### Table of Contents

Grants of equity awards and restricted cash awards are made in accordance with the MIP and
EIP and the policies adopted by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee specifically approves grants to the direct reports of our Chief Executive Officer, including Named Executive Officers, and recommends approval of the Chief
Executive Officers awards to the board of directors. The Compensation Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to approve all grants of options, restricted stock units, and restricted cash awards to employees who
are not direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer. Further, the Chief Executive Officer has delegated the authority to approve grants under the EIP to the Senior Vice President, Human Resources and the Chief Accounting Officer for any
non-executive grants. The grants approved under this delegated authority are made with respect to new hire, promotion and retention grants on the first Monday of the month following the date of hire, promotion or retention arrangement, as
applicable.

Equity Awards

Equity awards have been granted under the MIP and EIP, and have consisted of options, restricted stock unit awards (including deferred stock unit awards) and restricted cash awards.

Generally, in the light of the applicable limitations under the securities laws and the Compensation Committees determination that
equity ownership should be concentrated with key employees and the senior management team, the ability of employees, including Named Executive Officers, to transfer ownership of any options or restricted stock units (as well as any underlying
securities) is strictly limited by our plan and award documents.

2010 Long-Term Incentive Awards

Because we do not have publicly-traded equity, our strategy for long-term incentive awards since 2006 has included the use of multi-year
lump sum grants instead of on-going annual grants. These multi-year grants are intended to provide long-term incentive based compensation over a three- to four-year period. This is an important design feature to consider when evaluating long-term
incentive award compensation in this narrative or the compensation tables, since they will reflect multiple years of compensation in a single grant year. As a result of this strategy, there were no annual grants made to the Chief Executive
Officers direct reports or the Chief Executive Officer during 2010, except for Mr. Greenberg, which was in connection with the commencement of his employment.

In connection with his employment, Mr. Greenberg was granted the following long-term incentive awards on July 6, 2010: (i) 650,000 options to purchase our common shares; (ii) 150,000
restricted stock units; and (iii) a restricted cash award in the amount of $500,000, which provides a lump sum cash payment on the third anniversary of the grant date. The options have a term of ten years, vest and become exercisable in four
equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, and are subject to the terms and conditions of the investors agreement among certain equity holders of Freescale GP. The restricted stock units vest
in four equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant date, and are subject to the terms and conditions of the investors agreement. Please see the discussion under Item 13: Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions, and Director Independence for additional details regarding the investors agreement.

Benefits and Perquisites

Health-Related Benefits

Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in benefit plans maintained for all U.S. employees providing medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance. These benefits are intended to be
competitive with other benefits offered within our peer group and other high technology companies. Named Executive Officers are also eligible for an executive health program, including an annual comprehensive physical exam, paid for by the Company.

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 the Named Executive Officers, and allows an employee to defer up to 75% of his or her eligible compensation, not to exceed the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limit. Employees may contribute on a
pre-tax basis and/or on an after-tax basis with the Roth 401(k). We make 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 eligible compensation, subject to IRS limits. Employee pre-tax contributions to the 401(k) Plan are not subject to Federal tax until distributed
from the 401(k) Plan. Employee Roth 401(k) contributions to the 401(k) Plan will not reduce current taxes, but under



122

##### Table of Contents

current tax law Roth contributions and their associated investment earnings are not taxable when distributed from the plan. Employee and Company contributions to our 401(k) Plan 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.

Matching contributions made under the 401(k) Plan are included in the 2010 Summary Compensation Table under column (h).

Perquisites

The
principal perquisites programs that we provided to certain Named Executive Officers in 2010 included use of our aircraft, payment of expenses (including all travel expenses) associated with working at our office in Austin, Texas and gross-up of
taxes for commuting expenses. Each of these is described in further detail below.

Under our aircraft policy, none of our
executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, 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 use when accompanying the Chief Executive Officer on business travel. However, the Compensation Committee has approved the use of our aircraft and the reimbursement of travel expenses for
Mr. Beyer and Dr. Kazerounian for business travel between San Jose, California and our office in Austin, Texas. We gross-up the tax liability incurred by Mr. Beyer and Dr. Kazerounian with respect to income imputed for use of our
aircraft for commuting purposes when traveling between San Jose, California and our office in Austin, Texas.

In 2010,
Mr. Beyer used our corporate aircraft to travel between San Jose, California and our office in Austin, Texas for commuting purposes. In 2010, we provided Mr. Beyer with an automobile and lodging 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 the automobile and lodging.

The Compensation Committee approved payment of expenses related to Dr. Kazerounians travel between San Jose, California and our office in Austin, Texas. In 2010, we provided
Dr. Kazerounian air travel, including use of our aircraft, and other transportation services and lodging for use while working at our office in Austin, Texas. We also paid a gross-up for the tax liability incurred by Dr. Kazerounian with
respect to all expenses paid.

The amounts paid on behalf of Mr. Beyer and Dr. Kazerounian are included in column
(h) of the 2010 Summary Compensation Table.

Policies and Decisions Regarding the Adjustment or Recovery of Awards

The equity grants and proceeds from equity grants 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 grants in the event that they violate non-competition or non-solicitation covenants.

Share Ownership Guidelines and Trading Restrictions

Freescale has
an insider trading policy in order to promote compliance with applicable securities laws by Freescale and its directors and employees. Freescale considers it improper and inappropriate for those employed by or associated with Freescale to engage in
short-term or speculative transactions in Freescales securities or in other transactions in Freescales securities that may lead to inadvertent violations of the insider trading laws. The policy prohibits covered persons from engaging in
short sales of Freescales securities, or for transacting publicly traded options including Freescale securities (such as puts, calls and other derivative securities) on an exchange or in any other organized market.

Named Executive Officers Employment Agreements

We have employment agreements in place to attract and retain the knowledge, skills, and experience of our Named Executive Officers to lead Freescale. Each employment agreement with individual executive
officers is approved by the Compensation Committee and the board of directors for the Chief Executive Officer. We believe the design of these agreements also encourages management continuity and organizational stability.

Mr. Beyers Employment Agreement

We have entered into an employment agreement with Richard M. Beyer, Chief Executive Officer. In addition to his base salary, short-term
and long-term incentives, Mr. Beyers employment agreement also provides for certain executive benefits and perquisites, as described above in Benefits and Perquisites.

Under his 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. Mr. Beyer is entitled to receive (i) his bonus payment for the preceding calendar year in
which he terminates, if such bonus has been determined but not paid as of the date of termination, (ii) a payment of a prorated portion of his bonus, for the year in which he terminates employment and (iii) continued medical and life
insurance benefits at the same cost provided to active employees, until he is eligible for Medicare or another employers medical plan. Upon a qualifying termination not in connection with a change in control, Mr. Beyer is also entitled to
accelerated vesting of certain long-term incentive awards. For additional information about accelerated vesting of certain long-term incentive awards, refer to the narrative disclosure following the 2010 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change
in Control table. 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. To receive
the severance and benefits provided in the event of a qualifying termination not in connection with a change in control, Mr. Beyer must execute a release of claims in the form of the release included with the employment agreement.

The employment agreement also includes 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.

Dr. Kazerounians Employment Agreement

On May 1, 2009, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Reza Kazerounian, Senior Vice President and General
Manager.

Under his employment agreement, Dr. Kazerounian is entitled to severance upon a qualifying termination of
employment. The severance is generally equal to one and a half times Dr. Kazerounians annual base salary. Dr. Kazerounian is also entitled to receive (i) his bonus payment for the preceding calendar year in which he terminates,
if such bonus has been determined but not paid as of the date of termination, (ii) a payment of a prorated portion of his bonus, for the year in which he terminates and (iii) continued medical and life insurance benefits and accelerated
vesting of certain equity awards upon a qualifying termination. To receive the severance and benefits provided in the event of a qualifying termination not in connection with a change of control, Dr. Kazerounian must execute a release of claims
in the form of the release included with the employment agreement. For additional information about accelerated vesting of certain equity awards upon a qualifying termination, refer to the narrative disclosure following the 2010 Potential Payments
Upon Termination or Change in Control table. Following a change in control, if Dr. Kazerounian is terminated other than for cause, death, disability, or if he resigns from employment with Freescale for any reason, prior to the first anniversary
of such change in control, the severance is equal to two times the sum of his base salary and bonus target. Dr. Kazerounian is also entitled to accelerated vesting of certain equity awards, upon a qualifying termination following a change in
control and continued medical and life insurance benefits as described above for a period of up to two years. For additional information about accelerated vesting of certain equity awards upon a qualifying termination, refer to the narrative
disclosure following the 2010 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control table. In addition, we will gross-up the payment to Dr. Kazerounian with respect to any excise taxes resulting from payments received by Dr. Kazerounian
upon a qualifying termination following a change in control. However, if it is determined that the payment does not exceed 110% of the safe harbor amount, which equals the maximum payment that Dr. Kazerounian may receive without the payment
constituting an excess parachute payment within the meaning of 280G of the IRS Code, then no gross-up payment will be made and the amounts payable following a change in control will be reduced so that the payment equals the safe harbor
amount.

The employment agreement also includes non-competition and non-solicitation covenants by Dr. Kazerounian for a
one-year period following termination of his employment for any reason.

Other Named Executive Officers Employment Agreement

We have entered into individual agreements with certain senior executives, including the Named Executive Officers other
than Mr. Beyer and Dr. Kazerounian, which provide for the payment of severance benefits under certain events.

##### Table of Contents

Under the terms of each agreement, the Named Executive Officers are entitled to severance
upon a qualifying termination of employment. Effective January 1, 2010, or the Named Executive Officers employment date, the severance is generally equal to one and a half times the Named Executive Officers annual base salary. Upon
a qualifying termination following a change in control with good reason, severance is equal to two times the sum of the Named Executive Officers annual base salary and bonus target. Named Executive Officers are also entitled to receive
(i) their bonus payment for the preceding calendar year in which they terminate, if such bonus has been determined but not paid as of the date of termination, (ii) a payment of a prorated portion of their bonus, for the year in which they
terminate and (iii) continued medical and life insurance benefits and accelerated vesting of certain equity awards upon a qualifying termination. For additional information about accelerated vesting of certain equity awards upon a qualifying
termination, refer to the narrative disclosure following the 2010 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control table. To receive the severance and benefits provided in the event of a qualifying termination not in connection with a change
in control, the Named Executive Officer must execute a release of claims in the form of the release included with the employment agreement.

In addition, we will provide a gross-up payment to the Named Executive Officers with respect to any excise taxes resulting from parachute payments received upon a qualifying termination following a change
in control. However, if it is determined that the payment does not exceed 110% of the safe harbor amount, which equals the maximum payment that the Named Executive Officer may receive without the payment constituting an excess parachute
payment within the meaning of 280G of the IRS Code, then no gross-up payment will be made and the amounts payable following a Change in Control will be reduced so that the payment equals the safe harbor amount.

Each of the employment agreements also includes non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for an eighteen-month period following
termination of employment for any reason.

We offered these employment arrangements to attract and retain the knowledge,
skills, and experience of our Named Executive Officers to lead Freescale, together with the Chief Executive Officer, through its transformation. The design of the arrangement also encourages management continuity and organizational stability in the
event of a change in control. We structured the Change in Control severance to require both a Change in Control and a termination of employment, in order to minimize the risk of providing excessive severance compensation without an actual
termination of employment.

Compensation Practices and Risk

We believe our material compensation programs balance an appropriate mix of short and long-term performance objectives, elements of cash- and equity-based compensation, and risks and rewards for our
employees. Our programs incorporate key design features to mitigate the likelihood of excessive risk taking behavior, including:



| |  |  | Reasonable performance goals are established by the Compensation Committee for short-term cash incentive programs, incorporating top-line (e.g.,
revenue) and bottom-line (e.g., EBITDA) business performance factors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our employees, including Named Executive Officers, are measured against the same business performance factors for our short-term cash incentive
programs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our short-term cash incentive programs include maximum payout limitations of 200%;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Compensation Committee retains ultimate discretion for payments made to our employees, including Named Executive Officers, under our short-term
cash incentive program; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A balance of performance-based and time-based equity grants for our Named Executive Officers, with performance-based awards measuring our relative
performance in comparison to the performance of a peer group of companies over a multi-year period.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, we have a strong internal control environment and ethics and compliance training for all employees. Based on our review of
compensation program design, we believe that there are no significant risks and our policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on our company.

|(1) | Represents (i) a $1,000,000 cash hiring bonus paid to Mr. Beyer upon joining Freescale in March 2008 in accordance with his employment agreement; and
(ii) a guaranteed 2008 minimum bonus payment of $1,100,000 paid to Mr. Beyer under the terms of his employment agreement.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | Represents (i) a $125,000 cash hiring bonus paid to Mr. Greenberg upon joining Freescale in June 2010; and (ii) a guaranteed 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan
minimum bonus of $127,500 paid to Mr. Greenberg under the terms of his employment offer. The 2010 Second Half Bonus Plan target for Mr. Greenberg is also shown in the 2010 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table, since payout of this award would have
exceeded the minimum amount guaranteed in his offer letter if the business performance factor had exceeded 1.00.

|(3) | Amount shown does not reflect compensation actually received in 2008 by Mr. Beyer. Instead amount reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of awards granted in
2008, calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718, associated with Class B Interests in Freescale LP and outstanding restricted stock units granted under the MIP. For a discussion of the ASC Topic 718 assumptions utilized, see Note 6 in the
consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For 2008, the ASC Topic 718 aggregate grant date fair value associated with Mr. Beyers Class B interests in Freescale LP, all of which were cancelled in 2009
in exchange for share options (see footnote 7 below) was $38,973,000. For 2008, the ASC Topic 718 aggregate grant date fair value associated with Mr. Beyers restricted stock units was $12,352,939.

|(4) | Amounts shown do not reflect compensation actually received in 2009 by the Named Executive Officer. Instead the amounts shown reflect the aggregate grant date fair
value of awards granted in 2009, calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718 associated with outstanding deferred stock units granted under the MIP. For a discussion of the ASC Topic 718 assumptions utilized, see Note 6 in the consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The number of units underlying the deferred stock units is contingent on our performance measured against revenue growth and EBITDA growth goals established over a three-year period (January 1,
2009 to December 31, 2011), relative to a peer group of semiconductor companies approved by the Compensation Committee for this performance-based award. Each deferred stock unit award represents a target number of units, with the final number
of units determined at the end of the performance period, ranging from zero to two times the target number of units. The awards vest one year following the end of the performance period. For 2009, the ASC Topic 718 aggregate grant date fair value
associated with deferred stock units for certain Named Executive Officers was: Mr. Campbell$2,040,000; and Mr. Richard$2,700,000. The aggregate grant date fair value associated with deferred restricted stock units for Holdings
I common shares assuming the highest level of performance is achieved was: Mr. Campbell$4,080,000; and Mr. Richard$5,400,000.

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, accrued paid time off through the date of termination, unreimbursed business expenses, 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 for two years or until Mr. Beyer is eligible for Medicare or another employers plan at the same cost provided to active employees; 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. Under the terms of the restricted stock unit award agreement for Mr. Beyer, in the event that
his employment is terminated other than for Cause, or it is terminated by Mr. Beyer for Good Reason or Retirement (as those terms are defined in the award agreement), the awards vest and become deliverable for an additional number of shares
subject to the terms of the award agreement. If Mr. Beyers employment is terminated due to death or Disability, the restricted stock units become fully vested and deliverable. Under the terms of the deferred compensation agreement for
Mr. Beyer, in the event that his employment is terminated other than for Cause, or it is terminated by Mr. Beyer for Good Reason (as those terms are defined in the award agreement), the deferred cash award vests and becomes payable for an
additional amount subject to the terms of the award agreement. If Mr. Beyers employment is terminated due to death or Disability, the deferred cash award becomes fully vested and payable. Under the terms of the nonqualified option award
agreement for Mr. Beyer, in the event that his employment is terminated other than for Cause, or it is terminated by Mr. Beyer for Good Reason or Retirement (as those terms are defined in the award agreement), the options vest and become
exercisable for an additional number of shares subject to the terms of the award agreement. If Mr. Beyers employment is terminated due to death or Disability, the options become fully vested and exercisable.

If at any time following a Change in Control (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Beyers employment is
terminated other than for Cause, death or Disability, or it is terminated by him for Good Reason (as those terms are defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive: (1) payment of all unpaid base salary, accrued paid time
off through the date of termination, unreimbursed business expenses, 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 health, medical, life insurance and long-term disability benefits until Mr. Beyer is eligible for Medicare or another employers medical plan at
the same cost provided to active employees. 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. Under the terms of the restricted stock unit award agreement for Mr. Beyer, in the event
of a Change of Control, the restricted stock units become fully vested and deliverable. Under the terms of the deferred compensation agreement for Mr. Beyer, in the event of a Change of Control, the deferred cash award becomes fully vested and
payable. Under the terms of the nonqualified option award agreement for Mr. Beyer, in the event of a Change of Control, the unvested portion of the award becomes vested and exercisable for an additional number of shares subject to the terms of
the award agreement. In the event Mr. Beyers employment is terminated by the Company or any successor thereto without Cause or by Mr. Beyer for Good Reason (as those terms are defined in the award agreement), in each case following a
Change of Control, the options become fully vested and exercisable.

In the event a payment made by us to Mr. Beyer
occurs at a time when our common shares or the common shares 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,
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 Mr. Beyer of any payments or benefits otherwise due to him. The employment
agreement for Mr. Beyer contains a Section 280G tax gross-up provision in the event that a Change in Control occurs other than at a time when our common shares or the common shares of any of our affiliates is not readily tradable on an
established securities market or otherwise.

##### Table of Contents

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 shares or the common shares of any of our affiliates is not readily tradable on an established securities market or otherwise. However, if it is determined that the payment does
not exceed 110% of the safe harbor amount, which equals the maximum payment that the Named Executive Officer may receive without the payment constituting an excess parachute payment within the meaning of 280G of the IRS Code, then no
gross-up payment will be made and the amounts payable following a Change in Control will be reduced so that the payment equals the safe harbor amount.

The Executive Agreement contains restrictive covenants including non-solicit and non-competition provisions that remain in effect during the eighteen-month period following termination of employment.

We offered these severance arrangements to attract and retain the knowledge, skills, and experience of our Named Executive
Officers to lead Freescale, together with the Chief Executive Officer, through its transformation. The design of the arrangement also encourages management continuity and organizational stability in the event of a Change in Control.

We structured the Executive Agreement to require both a Change in Control and a termination of employment, in order to minimize the risk
of providing excessive severance compensation without an actual termination of employment. Further we have, in the Executive Agreement, limited payment terms under a Change in Control to a two times multiple and limited the period for Good Reason to
twelve months after considering market data from our peer group.

|Item 12: | Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beneficial Ownership

The following table presents information regarding beneficial ownership of our common shares as of February 4, 2011 by (i) each
person who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common shares; (ii) each of our directors and Named Executive Officers, and (iii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

A consortium of private equity funds including our Sponsors and funds advised by our Sponsors and members of our management beneficially
own our common shares indirectly through their holdings in Freescale LP, and members of our management also hold our common shares directly. As of February 4, 2011, Freescale LP owned substantially all of our outstanding common shares.
Freescale GP is the general partner of Freescale LP and, as such, exercises voting and dispositive power with respect to all shares held by Freescale LP. As of February 4, 2011, Freescale GP was owned equally by investment funds associated with
or advised by our Sponsors, as set forth in more detail in note (1) to the table below. Holders of limited partnership interests in Freescale LP have limited voting rights and no voting or dispositive power over our common shares held by
Freescale LP.

Percentage computations are based on 1,012,883,108 common shares outstanding as of February 4, 2011.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Each person named in the table has sole voting
and investment power with respect to all of the securities shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise set forth above and in the notes to the table. Information with respect to each fund described in the table is based on
information provided to us by such funds. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each person named in the table is c/o Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., 6501 William Cannon Drive West, Austin, Texas 78735.

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

Arrangements with Our Sponsors

We are parties to the agreements
described below with our Sponsors and persons and entities that are investors in Freescale LP.

Shareholders Agreement

Our Sponsors are parties to a shareholders agreement with respect to their interests in Freescale GP, the
general partner of Freescale LP. Among other things, this agreement establishes the composition of the board of Freescale GP and provides for restrictions on the transfer of shares of Freescale GP. The shareholders agreement also provides that
certain actions by Freescale GP, Freescale LP or any of their subsidiaries require the approval of a majority of the directors appointed by our Sponsors, including amendments to the organizational documents of such entities, amendments or waivers of
any debt documents, equity issuances, the registration of equity securities in connection with an initial public offering and acquisitions or sales of assets. The shareholders agreement also provides for customary indemnification of our
directors, shareholders and their affiliates.

Investors Agreement

Our Sponsors are parties to an investors agreement that provides that no holder of any equity interests in us or Freescale LP may transfer
its equity interests except to permitted transferees and except in compliance with certain restrictions on transfer. The investors agreement also 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 Freescale LP have the right to cause a sale of us or
Freescale LP and to require the other equityholders to participate in such a sale. Pursuant to the investors agreement, any of our equity or the equity of Freescale LP held by employees of Freescale Inc. is subject to put and call rights under
specified circumstances. If Freescale LP or its subsidiaries propose to issue new equity securities, our equityholders and the equityholders of Freescale LP will have the right to purchase their pro rata share of such new securities.

Registration Rights Agreement

The equity holders of Freescale LP are parties to 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.

Management Agreements

We are party to management agreements with affiliates or advisors of certain members of the consortium of private equity funds that
acquired Freescale Inc., including affiliates or advisors of our 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 and receive specified consideration for such services. We paid an aggregate of $16 million for management services for the year ended December 31, 2010. 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.

Equity Healthcare

Freescale Inc. is party to an agreement with Equity Healthcare LLC, an affiliate of The Blackstone Group. 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.

Freescale Inc. paid Equity Healthcare $185,200 under this agreement for the year ended December 31, 2010. The agreement expires on
December 31, 2011 and automatically renews for a one-year period unless either party provides notice of non-renewal 90 days prior to the scheduled expiration date.

Equity Healthcare is an affiliate of Blackstone, one of our Sponsors, on behalf of which Mr. Chu and Mr. Schorr are members of our board of directors. Blackstone, Mr. Chu and Mr. Schorr are affiliated
with Equity Healthcare and may have an indirect pecuniary interest in the payments made by us to Equity Healthcare.

Other Arrangements

anti-dilution and other provisions. The warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time.

Statement of
Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

The board of directors has adopted a written policy to review and
approve any transaction with our Sponsors or their affiliates in excess of $5 million. None of the transactions described above other than the management fee agreements were approved under this policy because they did not exceed the dollar

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

The Audit and Legal 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 and Legal 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 and Legal 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 and Legal 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 and Legal Committee regarding services rendered to date and services yet to be performed.

The Audit and Legal 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 and Legal Committee at the next scheduled quarterly meeting.

The audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided by KPMG LLP in 2010 were pre-approved by the Audit and Legal Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policy.
