 Dear Sirs: 
 Freescale Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Sub”),
proposes to issue and sell to the several initial purchasers named in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement, dated November 16, 2006 (the “Purchase
Agreement”), $500,000,000 principal amount of its Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2014 (the “Senior Floating Rate Notes”), $1,500,000,000 principal amount of its 9 1/8%/9 7/8% Senior
PIK-Election Notes due 2014 (the “Senior Toggle Notes”), $2,350,000,000 principal amount of its 8 7/8% Senior Fixed Rate Notes due 2014 (the “Senior Fixed Rate Notes” and, together with the Senior Floating Rate Notes and the Senior Toggle Notes, the “Senior Notes”) and $1,600,000,000 principal
amount of its 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes” and,
together with the Senior Notes, the “Initial Securities”) to be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guaranties”) by (v) Freescale Acquisition Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”),
(w) Freescale Holdings (Bermuda) IV, Ltd. (“Bermuda Holdings IV”), the direct parent of Holdings, (x) Freescale Holdings (Bermuda) III, Ltd. (“Bermuda Holdings III”), the direct parent of Bermuda Holdings
IV, (y) Freescale Holdings (Bermuda) II, Ltd. (“Bermuda Holdings II”), the direct parent of Bermuda Holdings III and (z) Freescale Holdings (Bermuda) I, Ltd. (“Bermuda Holdings I”), the direct parent of
Bermuda Holdings II, each an indirect parent of Merger Sub (collectively the “Guarantors” and, together with the Issuer (as defined below), the “Company”). As used in this Agreement the term “Issuer”
means, prior to the Merger (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), Merger Sub and, thereafter, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to two Indentures, each dated as of December 1,
2006 (each, an “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers, the Company agrees with the Initial
Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Securities (including, without limitation, the Initial Purchasers), the Exchange Securities (as defined below) and the Private Exchange Securities (as defined below) (collectively the
“Holders”), as follows: 
 1. Registered Exchange Offer. To the extent permitted by
applicable law or interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the Company shall, at its own cost, 

 
use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission one or more registration statements (collectively, the “Exchange
Offer Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to a proposed offer (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to the Holders
of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the
Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities (the “Exchange Securities”) of the Issuer issued under the applicable Indenture and identical in all material respects to the applicable series of Initial
Securities surrendered by such Holder (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the Initial Securities and the provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) that would be registered under the Securities Act. The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for
not less than 20 business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being called the “Exchange Offer Registration Period”).

 If the Company effects the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company will be entitled to close the Registered Exchange Offer 21 days
after the commencement thereof provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities theretofore validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer. 
 Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable commence the
Registered Exchange Offer for the applicable series of the Initial Securities, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities electing to exchange the Initial Securities of such
series for Exchange Securities of the same series (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and has
no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange
Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United States. 
 The Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission’s staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence
of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a broker or dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (a “broker-dealer”) electing to exchange
Securities, acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange Securities (an “Exchanging Dealer”), is required to deliver a prospectus containing information substantially
similar to that set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section, and (c) Annex C hereto in
the “Plan of Distribution” section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an Initial Purchaser that elects to
sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities
Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale. 
 The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement effective, subject to Sections 3(b) and 3(j) hereof, and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that 

  

 2 

 
(i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such
period shall be the lesser of 90 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the
Company shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to any broker-dealer, as reasonably requested by such broker-dealer in writing for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not
less than 90 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer. 
 If, upon consummation of each Registered Exchange Offer,
any Initial Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial distribution, the Issuer, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to such
Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the Initial Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Issuer issued
under the applicable Indenture and identical in all material respects (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the securities laws of the several states of the United States, but excluding provisions relating
to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) to the Initial Securities (the “Private Exchange Securities”). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the
“Securities”. 
 In connection with each Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuer shall: 
 (a) mail to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with
related documents, as appropriate; 
 (b) utilize the services of a depositary for the applicable Registered Exchange
Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee; 
 (c) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last business day on which the applicable Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 
 (d) otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws. 
 As soon as practicable after the close of the applicable Registered Exchange Offer or the applicable Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Issuer
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to: 
 (x) accept for exchange all the Initial Securities validly tendered
and not withdrawn pursuant to such Registered Exchange Offer and such Private Exchange; 
 (y) deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation all the Initial Securities so accepted for exchange; and 
 (z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and
deliver promptly to each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Initial Securities of such series of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

 Each Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the applicable
Indenture and that all the Securities issued pursuant to such Indenture will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of such Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any
matter. 
  

 3 

 Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued pursuant to each Registered
Exchange Offer and in each Private Exchange will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Initial Securities, from the
date of original issue of the Initial Securities. 
 Each Holder participating in each Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to
represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the applicable Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have
no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities
Act, of the Company, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive
Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies, at the time of filing, in all material respects with the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, as of their respective
dates, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. 
 2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or in applicable interpretations thereof by the
staff of the Commission, the Company is not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated within 360 days of the date of original issue of
the Initial Securities (the “Issue Date”), (iii) any Initial Purchaser so requests with respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in such
Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of the such Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) is not eligible to participate in the applicable Registered Exchange Offer or, in the
case of any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) that participates in such Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange (other than due solely to the status of such
Holder as an affiliate of ours within the meaning of the Securities Act), and such Holder so requests the Company in writing on or prior to 20 business days following the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to take the following actions: 
 (a) The Company shall, at its cost, as promptly as practicable (but in no event
more than 90 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 2) file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically
upon filing) one or more registration statements (collectively, the 

  

 4 

 
“Shelf Registration Statement” and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a “Registration Statement”) on
an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities of each series by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf
Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the “Shelf Registration”); provided, however, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by
it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. 
 (b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective,
subject to Sections 3(b) and 3(j) hereof, in order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to
Section 3(j) below) (or one year if such Shelf Registration Statement is filed at the request of a Holder or Holders) from the Issue Date or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or cease to be outstanding, (ii) are no longer restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof) or cease to be Transfer Restricted
Securities. The Company shall be deemed not to have used its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Securities
covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during that period, unless (i) such action is required by applicable law or (ii) such action is taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not
including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), including, but not limited to, the acquisition or divestiture of assets, so long as the Company promptly thereafter complies with the requirements of Section 3(j) hereof, if
applicable. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply
in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than with respect to information included therein in reliance upon or in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder specifically for use therein). 
 3. Registration Procedures.
In connection with any Shelf Registration contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any Registered Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, prior to the filing
thereof with the Commission, a copy of the applicable Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser (with respect to any portion of an
unsold allotment from the original offering) is participating in such Registered Exchange Offer or such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the
Commission, such comments as such Initial Purchaser reasonably may propose; provided, however, that the Company need not furnish (A) any 

  

 5 

 
amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement that solely names a Holder as a selling securityholder therein or (B) the first filing of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement; (ii) include information substantially similar to that set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the “Purpose of the
Exchange Offer” section and in Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; (iii) if requested by an Initial Purchaser, include the
information required by Items 507 (only in connection with a Shelf Registration) or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in the prospectus forming a part of the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement;
(iv) include within the prospectus contained in the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution,” which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the
staff of the Commission with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act ) of Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in
the Registered Exchange Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the Commission or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of the
Initial Purchasers based upon advice of counsel (which may be in-house counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff of the Commission; and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include in the prospectus included in the
Shelf Registration Statement (or, if permitted by Commission Rule 430B(b), in a prospectus supplement that becomes a part thereof pursuant to Commission Rule 430B(f)) that is delivered to any Holder pursuant to Section 3(d)
and (f), the names of the Holders, who propose to sell Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, as selling securityholders. 
 (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities (only in the case of a Shelf Registration) and any Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the
Company has received prior written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in applicable Registered Exchange Offer (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the
prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 
 (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration, when the Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when applicable Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
 (ii) of any request by the Commission for post-effective amendments or supplements to the applicable Registration Statement or the
prospectus included therein or for additional information; 
 (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, of the issuance by the Commission of a notification of objection to the use of the form on which the applicable Registration
Statement has been filed, and of the happening of any event that causes the Company to become an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Commission Rule 405; 
 (iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of
the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
  

 6 

 (v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in the
applicable Registration Statement or the prospectus in order that the applicable Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
 (c) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of each Registration Statement. 
 (d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of each Shelf Registration, without charge,
at least one copy of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules; provided, however, that the Company need not furnish any amendment
or supplement to any Shelf Registration Statement that solely names a Holder as a selling securityholder therein. The Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Initial Purchasers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Commission Rule 405. 
 (e) The Company shall deliver to each Exchanging Dealer and each Initial Purchaser, without charge, at least one copy of the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules. 
 (f) The Company shall, during each Shelf Registration Period,
deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the applicable Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement
and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of
the Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, solely to satisfy such selling
Holders’ prospectus delivery requirements. 
 (g) The Company shall deliver to any Initial Purchaser, if necessary,
any Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following each Registered Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus included in the applicable Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such persons may reasonably request for a period not to exceed 90 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Initial Purchaser, if necessary, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the applicable Registered
Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, in each case, solely to satisfy such
persons’ (including any Initial Purchaser’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s) prospectus delivery requirements. 
 (h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities, pursuant to any Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included 

  

 7 

 
therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or
“blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the
Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (ii) take any action
which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (iii) qualify as a dealer or broker in securities in any jurisdiction. 
 (i) The Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Holders of Securities named in a Shelf Registration Statement to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as such Holders may request a
reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 
 (j) Upon the
occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to as promptly as practicable prepare and file a post-effective amendment to each Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the
Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of
Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such
prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended
by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or
supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j). During the period during which the Company is required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will, to the extent so required, prior
to the three-year expiration of that Shelf Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, and to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) within a period that avoids any
interruption in the ability of Holders of Securities covered by the expiring Shelf Registration Statement to make registered dispositions, a new registration statement relating to the Securities, which shall be deemed the “Shelf Registration
Statement” for purposes of this Agreement. 
 Each Holder receiving a notice pursuant Section 3(b) hereof hereby
agrees that it will either (i) destroy any prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession, which have been replaced by the Company with more recently dated prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company
all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
  

 8 

 (k) Not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the
Company will provide a CUSIP number for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and provide the applicable trustee with printed certificates for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as
the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company. 
 (l) The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), in a timely manner and use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend or
supplement each Indenture as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under an Indenture, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a
new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
 (m) The Company may require each Holder
of Securities to be sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the
Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Securities of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request; no such Holder of Securities shall be
entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 6 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such information. 
 (n) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any,
as any Holder of the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities in an underwritten offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration; provided, however, that such Holders shall only be
entitled to one underwritten offering in the aggregate. 
 (o) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall
(i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of the Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the
Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s officers,
directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the applicable Shelf Registration
Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and
information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof; all such records,
documents and properties which the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and any such records, documents and properties which the Company notifies such Holders, underwriters or their respective agents are confidential shall not be
disclosed by such Holders, underwriters or their respective agents unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or properties is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement,
(ii) the release of such records, documents or properties is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) the information in such records, documents and properties has been generally
available to the public. Each selling Holder 

  

 9 

 
of such Securities and each such underwriter will be required to agree that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed
confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in securities of the Company unless and until such information is made generally available to the public. Each selling Holder of such Securities and each such
underwriter will be required to further agree that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such records, documents and properties is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company at its expense to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of such records, documents and properties deemed confidential. 
 (p) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the Exchange
Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to mark, or caused to be marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such Initial Securities
are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 
 (q) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the
initial sale of such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a Registration Statement
to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, in each case, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or by the managing underwriters, if any. 
 (r) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member
of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the “Rules”) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”))
thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist such broker-dealer in
complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 2720, shall so require, engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in Rule 2720) to
participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an
underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in
Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules. 
 (s) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the
Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 
 4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees
and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 1 through 3 hereof, whether or not the applicable Registered Exchange Offer or a Shelf Registration is filed or becomes effective, and, in the event of a
Shelf Registration, shall bear or reimburse the Holders of the Securities covered thereby for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel designated by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the 

  

 10 

 
Initial Securities covered thereby to act as counsel for the Holders of the Initial Securities in connection therewith, in each case excluding underwriting
discounts and commissions and transfer taxes or fees of Counsel to any underwriters. 
 5. Indemnification. (a) The Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
(each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in
respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities in connection with a Registration Statement) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration
Statement or related prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Commission Rule 433 (“Issuer FWP”), relating to a Shelf
Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the
Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the
Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or
prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer
and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any
preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered (including through satisfaction of the conditions of Commission Rule 172) by
such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not conveyed to
such person, at or prior to the time of the sale of such Securities to such person, an amended or supplemented prospectus or, if permitted by Section 3(d), an Issuer FWP correcting such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may
otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as
provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders. 
 (b) Each Holder of
the Securities, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary 

  

 11 

 
prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or
(b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified
party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the
subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnified party will, without the prior written consent of the
indemnifying party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided, however, that an indemnified party
may enter into a settlement of any proceeding or action without consent of the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of a request to pay or reimburse fees and expenses related to any proceeding contemplated by this Section 5, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 45 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in
subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on 

  

 12 

 
the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the exchange of the Securities, pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the
indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders of
the Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such
Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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 guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company. 
 (e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) with respect to
the Initial Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (ii) below a “Registration Default”): 
 (i) If on or prior to the 360th day after the Issue Date, the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated or 
 (ii) If after the Shelf Registration Statement is declared (or becomes automatically) effective such Registration Statement
thereafter ceases to be effective, 
 Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Initial Securities of the relevant series, at a rate of
0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period, and such rate will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period that such Additional Interest continues to accrue (provided, that the rate at
which such Additional Interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.0% per annum) commencing on the 361st day after the Issue Date, in the case of (i) above, or the day such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective, in the case
of (ii) above; provided, that upon the exchange of Exchange Securities for all Securities tendered (in the case of clause (i) above), or upon the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement that had ceased to remain effective
(in the case of clause (ii) above), Additional Interest on such Initial Securities as a result of such clause shall cease to accrue. 
  

 13 

 The Company shall in no event be required to pay Additional Interest for more than one Registration
Default at any given time. 
 (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(iii)(B) hereof shall be deemed not to have
occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (w) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration
Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus, (x) other
material events, with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus, (y) the suspension of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement because of the existence of
material events or developments with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates, the disclosure of which the Company determines in good faith would have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or prospects, or (z) the
suspension of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement because the Company does not wish to disclose publicly a pending material business transaction that has not yet been publicly disclosed, and (ii) in the case of clause (x), the
Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if (A) in the case of a Registration
Default described in clause (i)(w), such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days and (B) in the case of a Registration Default described in (i)(x), (i)(y) or (i)(z), such Registration Default occurs for a
period of more than 45 days in any three-month period or more than an aggregate of 90 days in any twelve-month period, then Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs
until such Registration Default is cured. 
 (c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of
Section 6(a) above will be payable (a) with regard to the Senior Toggle Notes, in the form elected by the Company for payment of interest pursuant to the applicable Indenture and (b) with respect to the other Notes, in cash on the
regular interest payment dates with respect to the Initial Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Initial Securities, multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360. 
 (d) “Transfer Restricted Securities” means each Security until (i) the date on which such Transfer Restricted Security has
been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to such series of
an Initial Security for an Exchange Note, the date on which such Exchange Note is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, (iii) the date on which such Initial Security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the date on which such Initial Security is
distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 
 7. Rules 144 and 144A. As long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, make
publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it will take 

  

 14 

 
such further action as any Holder of Initial Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell
Initial Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this Agreement to
prospective purchasers of Initial Securities identified to the Company by the Initial Purchasers upon reasonable request. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder of Initial Securities, as long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain
outstanding and the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act. 
 8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers
that will administer the offering (“Managing Underwriters”) will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in such offering; provided,
however, that such Managing Underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided, further, that the Holders shall not be entitled to more than one underwritten offering in the aggregate. 
 No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted
Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 9. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Company and the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected by such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consents. 
 (b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, first-class mail, facsimile transmission, or air courier which guarantees overnight delivery:

 16 

 (i) Securities Held by the Company. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a
specified percentage of principal amount of Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be affiliates solely by reason of
their holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 
  

 17 

 If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the
Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the several Initial Purchasers, the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms.

 ANNEX A 
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. By
so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may
be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of
Distribution.” 

 ANNEX B 
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities, where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX C 
 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 Each broker-dealer that
receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from
time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
                 , 200 , all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus.(1) 
 The Company will
not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such
Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be
deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation
under the Securities Act. By acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
 For a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date the Company will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the Holders of the Securities) other than
commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Securities (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. 

	 (1)
	 In addition, the legend required by Item 502(e) of Regulation S-K will appear on the back
cover page of the Exchange Offer prospectus.

 If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not
intend to engage in, a distribution of Exchange Securities. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities
or other trading activities, it acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that
it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.Joinder and Assumption Agreement

MARKETS INC., 
 As Representatives of the several Purchasers, 
 c/o Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, 
 Eleven Madison Avenue, 
 New York, N.Y. 10010-3629 
 Dear Sirs: 
 Reference is made to the Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”), dated November 16, 2006, among Freescale Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), as issuer, the guarantors party thereto (the
“Guarantors”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as Representatives (the “Representatives”) of the Purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto (the

Agreement. This is the Joinder and Assumption Agreement (this “Agreement”) referred to in Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement. 
 In connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) Merger Sub was merged (the “Merger”) with and into Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (“Freescale”) , with Freescale as the
