Holder being a Bad Leaver (as defined in Article 9(4)) or by the Option Holder for Good Reason, in either case within twelve months following a Change of Control, all unvested Options shall become immediately vested (for 100% accelerated vesting),
unless the Grant Letter stipulates differently. 
 Article 4

received by the Option Holder. 
 Article 6

engage in any transactions on any exchange on the basis of any Options. 
 Article 7 

Capital Adjustments in corporate events

it, in its sole discretion, deems equitable to reflect any significant corporate event of or by NXP, for example a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
combination or exchange of shares or other corporate change, or any distribution to holders of Shares other than regular cash dividends.

notified promptly of such adjustment or substitution.

	5.	  	Date of Grant:	  	the date at which a Restricted Stock Unit is granted pursuant to this Plan. The Dates of Grant of any Restricted Stock Units shall be the same dates as the dates of publication of the NXP’ annual and/or quarterly results. As an
exception, under this Program Restricted Stock Units also may be granted at the date of completion of the merger transaction between NXP and Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd. The relevant Date of Grant and categorization of any Restricted Stock Unit
with respect to any grant hereunder shall be determined by NXP.

Participant’s ability to materially perform his or her duties or responsibilities). A lateral job change that does not materially diminish the Participant’s duties or responsibilities and does not affect the Participant’s reporting

(ii) except in a Permitted Transfer, in one or more transactions in which any Person or Group, to the Investor’s

substance: 
 “The securities evidenced by this certificate may not be offered or sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or

restriction on Transfer of such Shares under the Securities Act or any other Applicable Law, unless such Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement, subject to delivery of an opinion of counsel to the Investor, which opinion is reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel, that the restriction referenced in such legend (or such notations or arrangements) is no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or any such other

REGISTRATION 
 3.1
Registration Statement. 
 (a) 

(i) If, from and after the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Company has registered or has determined to register any
Company Common Shares for its own account or for the account of other securityholders of the Company, including the Blackstone Investor, on any registration form (other than Form F-4 or S-8) which permits the inclusion of the Registrable Securities,
including as a supplement to a Shelf Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give the Investor written notice thereof promptly (but in no
event less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date) and, subject to Section 3.1(a)(i), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities requested to be included therein pursuant to the written request
of the Investor received on or before the second Business Day prior to the anticipated filing date. If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) advise the
Company and the Investor that, in its reasonable opinion, the inclusion of all of the Company Common Shares proposed to be included in such registration would adversely affect the success of such offering, the Company shall include in such
registration: (i) first, the number of Company Common Shares that the Company proposes to sell; and (ii) second, the number of Company Common Shares requested to be included therein by the Investor and Other Holders, pro rata among all
such holders on the basis of the number of Company Common Shares requested to be included therein by all such holders or as such holders and the Company may otherwise agree. 

(ii) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of another securityholder of the Company,
including the Blackstone Investor, and the lead managing underwriter(s) advise the Company that, in its reasonable opinion, the inclusion of all of the Company Common Shares proposed to be included in such registration would adversely affect the
success of such offering, then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the number of Company Common Shares requested to be included therein by such other securityholder, the Investor and the Other Holders, pro rata among all
such holders on the basis of the number of Company Common Shares requested to be included therein by all such holders or as such holders and the Company may otherwise agree; and (ii) second, the number of Company Common Shares that the Company
proposes to sell. 
 (iii) If any Piggyback Registration is a primary underwritten offering, the Company shall have the right
to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer any such offering. 

  
 - 5 - 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be
entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the Investor, to require the Investor to suspend sales of Registrable Securities under a Piggyback Registration during any Blackout Period. The Investor may recommence effecting sales of
the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Piggyback Registration (or such filings) following further notice to such effect from the Company, which shall be given by the Company promptly following the expiration of any Blackout Period. After the
expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from the Investor, the Company to the extent necessary shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Piggyback Registration or
the Prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

3.2 Withdrawal Rights. The Investor having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written notice to such effect to the
Company prior to the effective date of such registration statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be
Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement). No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn. 

3.3 Holdback Agreements. In connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Investor agrees to enter into customary “lock-up”
agreements restricting the public sale or distribution of equity securities of the Company (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to the extent required in writing by the lead managing underwriter(s) with respect to an
applicable Underwritten Offering for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after the date of the “final” prospectus (or “final” prospectus supplement if the Underwritten Offering is made pursuant to a Shelf Registration
Statement), pursuant to which such Underwritten Offering shall be made, plus, if applicable, an extension period, as may be proposed by the lead managing underwriter(s) to address FINRA regulations regarding the publishing of research, or such other
period as is required by the lead managing underwriter(s); provided, however, the Investor shall not be subject to a lock-up period longer than the lock-up period to which the officers and directors of the Company are subject. 

In the event of any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering, the Company will not effect any public sale or distribution of any common equity (or
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common equity) (other than a registration statement on Form F-4, Form S-8 or any comparable or successor forms thereto) for its own account, within sixty (60) days, after the
effective date of such registration except as may otherwise be agreed between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering.

including any comment letter from the Commission, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement and each prospectus included therein and such other
opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors;

under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Selling Shareholder and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other
disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Selling Shareholder; 
 (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to
register or qualify or cooperate with the Selling Shareholder, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable

reasonably request, and to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective and take any other action which may be necessary or reasonably
advisable to enable the Selling Shareholder and underwriters to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by the Selling Shareholder, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to
(A) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (v) be obligated to be so qualified, (B) subject itself to taxation in any such

 - 12 - 

 
connection with such registration statement, including, if applicable, a questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney, lock-up letter and underwriting agreement (the “Requested
Information”). If the Company has not received, on or before the second Business Day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from the Investor, the Company may file the registration statement without including Registrable
Securities of the Investor. The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of the Investor (with regard to that registration statement) shall not result in any liability on the part of the Company to the Investor.

 3.7 Registration Indemnification. 

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Selling Shareholder and its Affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act) the Selling Shareholder or such other indemnified Person and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, each underwriter, if any,

relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or
alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this
Section 3.7(a)) will reimburse the Selling Shareholder, each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents and each such
Person who controls the Selling Shareholder and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, each such underwriter and each such Person who controls
any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, except that, with respect to a Selling Shareholder, the
Company will not be liable to the extent that any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any such registration statement,
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Shareholder expressly for use therein.

alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this

other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, in each case solely to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is
made in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Selling
Shareholder expressly for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Selling Shareholder shall not be liable
under this Section 3.7(b) for amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by it in the offering giving rise to such liability. 

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to
which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially
prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis. 
 (d) In any case in which any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such
proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal
or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such
assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists or (ii) the indemnifying party
shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by
the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such
assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its 

  
 - 14 - 

 
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to
such claim or litigation, and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

(e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the Transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this
Agreement. 
 (f) If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as
specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such
indemnification but for such reason or reasons, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements
or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning
the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be
equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Selling Shareholder shall not be required to make a contribution in excess of the net proceeds received by it from its sale of
Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.

Information to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted by Applicable Law, including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (A) consulting with the Company regarding such disclosure and (B) if requested by the Company,
assisting the Company, at the Company’s expense, in seeking a protective order to prevent the requested disclosure; provided, further, that such Investor or Representative, as the case may be, uses reasonable best efforts to

faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to
