How”), which is to say that (a) NXP will not provide Support Services for Serviced Know How deliverables that have been altered or modified other than by or for NXP (“Modified Serviced Know How”), (b) NXP
is not obliged to provide Additional Services with respect to Modified Serviced Know How, (c) DSPG acknowledges that Maintenance Services are standardised for Unmodified Serviced Know How only and the updates provided to DSPG pursuant to the

	2.3	NXP regularly issues Release Notes and DSPG acknowledges that it is considered best practice to follow such Release Notes. DSPG acknowledges that Updates are standardised for
supported versions of the Serviced Know How only and may not function with versions of Serviced Know How which have been declared end-of-life in accordance with clause 13.4 (“Outdated Versions”). NXP is not obliged to provide any
Support Services or Additional Services with respect to any Outdated Version of any Serviced Know How. In addition, if DSPG fails to implement an Update to any Serviced Know How in accordance with the applicable Release Notes, NXP is not obligated
to provide Support Services with respect to any Error in such Serviced Know How that is corrected by such Update. 

  

	2.4	Without prejudice to clauses 3.1, 3.4, 5.2, 5.5 or 5.6 or the R&D Agreements, the Services shall be provided under conditions equal to the conditions under which comparable
services are also provided to NXP’s business units; provided, however, that the quality or scope of the Services will not be materially reduced or otherwise materially adversely changed.

	  	6

	2.5	In so far as NXP should subcontract or outsource the provision of Services under this Agreement to third parties, NXP shall ensure that such third parties shall provide their
services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the acts and omissions of such third parties shall be deemed acts and omissions of NXP for the purposes of this Agreement. 

  

	2.6	This Agreement does not grant any rights under Serviced Know How outside the scope of the licenses granted to DSPG under the IPTLA and does not include services with respect to any
know how, software or technology other than the Serviced Know How. 

  

	2.7	DSPG shall provide NXP promptly upon NXP’s reasonable request with information in DSPG’s possession and reasonable access to its premises, in each case to the extent
necessary in order for NXP to provide the Services. DSPG shall retain ownership of all such information. NXP shall keep such information in strict confidence, shall not use such information except as necessary to perform the Services, shall not
disclose such information to any third parties, and shall only provide access to such information to NXP employees that have a need to know such information in order to perform the Services. 

  

	3	COMMITTED R&D SERVICES 

  

	3.1	NXP will provide to DSPG the services set out in the agreements attached hereto in Annex 2 (the “Committed R&D Services”) under the terms and conditions of

instance, or if the necessary memory compiler is available within NXP, NXP shall develop and provide to DSPG such memory instance within [*] of DSPG’s request (provided that if DSPG becomes aware of its need for a memory instance
more than [*] in advance, DSPG will try to give NXP more than [*] to develop the memory instance, and if DSPG becomes aware of its need for any memory instance less than [*] in advance, NXP will try to
develop the memory instance in less than [*]), against payment of the fee set forth in Annex 5 applicable to Additional Services (for avoidance of doubt, DSPG’s request will not be deemed a request for Additional Services, and
Section 6 will not apply to such request). The memory instances provided to DSPG pursuant to this clause 3.4 shall be considered as NXP Know-How for the purpose of this Agreement and the rights of use granted in respect thereof.

  

	4	MAINTENANCE SERVICES 

  

	4.1	 NXP will, subject to the payment of the applicable fees by DSPG as set out in Annex 5 (Pricing), provide to DSPG (a) Updates to Serviced Know How to the extent
required to maintain compatibility with the NXP Standard Design Environment or the NXP’s foundry specifications (including library requalification, changes in design rules or in parameters), including as set forth in Annex 3 (for avoidance of
doubt, such Updates will include all Updates to the NXP Standard Design Environment), and (b) other Updates to Serviced Know How that NXP Corp. I&T or DSP-IC make available to other NXP business units. NXP will deliver each such Update to
DSPG as soon

	  	7

	 	 
as reasonably possible after such Update becomes available within NXP. In addition, NXP will provide to DSPG Updates to Serviced Know How developed by

	4.2	DSPG will be informed beforehand of any planned updates. Updates will be provided on appropriate media. 

  

	4.3	DSPG is not obliged to accept and implement Updates or to use the versions as indicated in the Release Notes on the understanding, however, that if DSPG should, for whatever reason,
not implement Serviced Know How Updates in accordance with the applicable Release Notes, the provisions of Section 2.3(c) shall apply to such Serviced Know How. 

  

	5	SUPPORT SERVICES 

  

	5.1	NXP will, subject to the payment of the applicable fees as set out in Annex 5 (Pricing), provide to DSPG at its request made in accordance with Clause 9, services directed at
solving Errors, including answering questions, providing workarounds and/or correcting errors, with respect to the Serviced Know How in accordance with Annex 4. With respect to highest priority Incidents (belt stop) as described in Annex 4, if more
than [*] of Support Services should be required for any Incident, then NXP may charge costs for such Support Services in excess of [*] (“Excess Support Services”) as set forth in Annex 5, provided that if
the Error giving rise to the Incident affects not only DSPG but also business units within NXP, the costs for such excess effort will be [*].

prior Incident. 

  

	5.4	NXP is not obliged to provide Support Services for (a) any Serviced Know How to the extent that it is applied outside the NXP Standard Design Environment, (b) Modified
Serviced Know How, or (c) Outdated Versions and any Support Services requested or required for (a), (b) or (c) may be refused or charged in accordance with the prices set forth in Annex 5 as if those services are Additional Services.

  

	5.5	With respect to Serviced Know-How which in the course of re-use between NXP business units has been developed in NXP business units other than NXP Corp I&T, NXP DSP-IC and
NXP’s Sound and Systems group in Leuven (such other business units the “Non-Specialised BU’s”), as listed in Annex 3, NXP will provide Support Services within the limits of the technical capabilities of such
Non-Specialised BU’s in accordance with the priority and response level table set forth in Annex 4. Since relevant knowledge in the Non-Specialised BU’s may evaporate over time, NXP shall strive to address any Incident at the earliest
possible moment. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause 5.5 will limit or otherwise affect the parties’ rights and obligations under clause 3.4 (except as expressly set forth therein) or clause 5.6. 

  

	5.6	With respect to [*], the parties will engage in knowledge transfer during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on [*] (“Knowledge
Transfer Period”) as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	 With respect to [*]: In order to transfer knowledge to DSPG relating to the [*] Know-How present in Non-Specialised BU’s,

on the project and in this environment 

  

			
	 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. OMITTED PORTIONS
 MARKED WITH [*] AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC.
	  	8

	 	 
prior to the Closing Date and all DSPG engineers shall be bound by DSPG to appropriate non-disclosure agreements, the text of which is to be agreed between
the parties. In addition, during the Knowledge Transfer Period, NXP shall make available engineers for training of the designated DSPG engineers for [*] as requested by DSPG, up to a limit of [*]. DSPG shall ensure that
the designated engineers shall use the training facility so as to enable independent support and to minimize support requests by DSPG to NXP after the Knowledge Transfer Period. 

  

	 	(b)	With respect to [*]: NXP will make available to DSPG for each [*], upon completion of the development of such [*]: the design
database (including all symbols and schematics, VerilogA models if any, test benches for simulation considerations for floor plan and layout), the system level database (including models and system test-benches, calibration and modulation schemes),
and documentation (including design and re-design documentation, technical notes used as references, characterization reports and integration guidelines), which, in so far as available, will include all [*] work done in respect thereof
until Closing Date. NXP will during the Knowledge Transfer Period also make available engineers to provide training and engineering support for the foregoing items, and to participate in DSPG design reviews and layout reviews as requested by DSPG,
up to a limit of [*]. DSPG acknowledges that the [*] is developing the [*] targeted solely at NXP’s [*], that NXP has no obligation to DSPG to port the [*] to any other
manufacturing process node nor to help the adaptation of these [*] for [*] applications, and that NXP makes no representations or warranties to DSPG with respect to the suitability of any such [*] for use
with any [*]. If DSPG should also wish to receive Additional Services with respect to [*], such support shall be provided in accordance with the terms of clause 6, subject to the limitations of clause 5.5.

or correcting errors, additional R&D services, services in relation to physical design, design-in support, provision of additional design IP views and major modifications and training (“Additional Services”), on the
understanding that NXP will only be obliged to provide an Additional Service requested by DSPG if and to the extent (a) that without such Additional Service the development or production of a Product or a Derivative thereof would be materially
affected and (b) NXP has sufficient capacity available to provide such Additional Service. Requests for Additional Services shall be processed through the relevant NXP board which prioritises all service requests and NXP shall reasonably take
high priority requests of DSPG into account as if these were high priority requests of a NXP business unit. Outside that scope, NXP will, at its discretion, reasonably consider requests for Additional Services if it has sufficient capacity and if
its business interests and priorities are not affected and on reasonable commercial terms. 

  

	6.2	NXP will provide Additional Services under conditions equal to the conditions under which comparable services are provided from time to time by NXP Corp. I&T or NXP DSP-IC to
NXP’s business units.

	9	GOVERNANCE 

 All requests for the provision of
Services, including questions about Services and requests for Additional Services shall be addressed to the NXP Corp. I&T helpdesk as described in Annex 4 (Support Services and Procedures), and such helpdesk shall be responsible for receiving

 The parties acknowledge
and agree that the primary objective of this Agreement is to assist DSPG with certain Services for a transitional period of time after the Closing Date. In furtherance hereof, the parties agree with the following: 
  

	 	12.2.1	 Services provided by NXP or its Affiliate: NXP (or its relevant Affiliates) shall not be liable to DSPG (or its relevant Affiliates) for any damages, unless such
damages incurred or sustained by DSPG (or its relevant Affiliate) result from: (i) gross negligence or wilful misconduct by NXP (or its relevant Affiliate or third-party service provider performing Services pursuant to clause 2.5),
(ii) the failure by NXP (or its relevant Affiliate or third-party service provider performing Services pursuant to clause 2.5) to comply fully with its obligations to any of its employees, including, without limitation, payment of wages,
provision of benefits, and payment of employment taxes, or (iii) material breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement by NXP (or its relevant Affiliate or third-party service provider performing Services pursuant to clause 2.5). In such
event, NXP shall only be liable for direct damages of DSPG (or its relevant Affiliate) and in no event shall NXP be liable, whether in contract or in tort, for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages or loss of profits,

	 	12.2.2	  Services provided by third-party service provider: NXP (or its relevant Affiliate) shall not be liable to DSPG (or its relevant Affiliates) for any
damages incurred or suffered by DSPG (or its relevant Affiliates) relating to or arising out of any failure of any third-party service provider arranged by DSPG. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if NXP arranges for certain Services to be provided by a
third-party service provider after the Closing in

accordance with clause 2.5 of this Agreement, NXP shall be liable to DSPG for the third-party service provider’s provision of the Services during the
remainder of the term of the relevant Services to the same extent as clause 12.2.1 above. If DSPG and/or Affiliates should suffer damage through the failure of such third party service provider, NXP shall have the following obligations: i) in case

	14.2	Termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof shall not act as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement and shall not act as a release of either Party from any
liability for breach of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties under any other agreement between the Parties.

  

	14.3	No rights and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned to any party, other than in combination with an assignment of all rights under the IPTLA as allowed in clause 16.1 of

business of (i) the Continued Operations or (ii) DSPG to any third party, this Agreement shall terminate. At the request of DSPG, NXP will grant, unless the third party to whom Services would be provided is a competitor of NXP, equivalent
services to such third party for the purposes of operating the then remaining assets or business of the Continued Operations. Such Services shall be of the same scope and subject to the same conditions as the Services to be provided pursuant to this
Agreement, provided in any case that Services (i) shall only be continued for Serviced Know How licensed to DSPG and its Affiliates pursuant to the IPTLA at the moment of divestment and which are relevant to the divested company’s
business, and (ii) shall be limited to the business so divested and not extend to any business, operation or activity with which it is or becomes combined, merged or that otherwise grows “unnaturally”.

hereof. 

  

	15.4	The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions hereof. 

  

	15.5	The provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement shall so survive. 

  

	15.6	This Agreement, the documents to be entered into pursuant to it and the documents incorporated in it by reference (including the contracts set out in Annex 2), save as expressly
otherwise provided therein, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland (excluding the conflict of law provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on International Private Law and international treaties, in particular the
Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods dated 11 April 1980). Any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be solely conducted by NXP and DSPG in accordance with the procedure
provided in clause 18 of the SBSA.

	2	MASTER AGREEMENT AND SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS 

  

	2.1	Master Agreement 

 This Agreement is a master
agreement which sets out the general terms and conditions relating to the provision of the Services from NXP (or its relevant Affiliates or Third-Party Service Providers) to the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliates). 
  

	2.2	Service Level Agreements 

  

	 	2.2.1 	Certain Services are set out in Schedule 1. For each other Service, NXP (or its relevant Affiliate) and the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliate) have concluded or will enter
into a Service Level Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Schedule 2 of this Agreement. 

  

	 	2.2.2 	If the Purchaser desires to extend the term of any Service (or any part thereof) or to add any additional service (collectively, the “Additional Services”) arising
out of or relating to the Services, the following shall apply: 

  

	 	(a)	the Purchaser shall give NXP at least thirty (30) days (and in any event sufficient) prior written notice, which shall include reasonable details relating thereto;

  

	 	(b)	the Purchaser and NXP shall negotiate in good faith whether and on what terms NXP shall provide (if at all) any such extended term or any such Additional Service; and

  

			
		  	
	 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. OMITTED PORTIONS
 MARKED WITH [*] AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC.
	  	6 / 24

	 	(c)	the Parties acknowledge and agree that NXP at its sole discretion can reject or consent to any extended term or Additional Service - but only after NXP has fully complied with its
obligation to negotiate in good faith as stated above - and provided that NXP shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the extension of any such term or provision of any such Additional Service if such extension or Additional Service were
inadvertently or unintentionally omitted from Schedule 1 or a Service Level Agreement as of the Closing Date or is essential to effectuate an orderly transition of the Operations in accordance with the SBSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing -
but subject to the absence of any contractual restrictions prohibiting the extension of any term or provision of an Additional Service - NXP shall comply with the Purchaser’s request for the extension of the term of such Service (or any part
thereof) or the provision of any Additional Service, if such request is as a result of a material breach by NXP or any of its Affiliates or any Third-Party Service Provider engaged pursuant to Section 3.4.2 in the provision of such Services, or
the provision of such Service in accordance with the service levels, pursuant to this Agreement or a Service Level Agreement under this Agreement. 

 The applicable Service Level Agreement shall thereafter be amended to include the extended term or a separate Service Level Agreement shall be entered into to add the Additional Service. Upon execution of such
amendment or new Service Level Agreement, any Additional Service shall be deemed to be a “Service” for all purposes hereunder. 
  

	 	2.2.3 	The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Services include any ancillary services, functions or responsibilities not specifically described in this Agreement (including in
Schedule 1), but which are required for the proper performance and delivery by NXP (or its Affiliates or any Third-Party Service Provider arranged by NXP in accordance with clause 3.4.2) of - and form an essential part of - the Services
listed in Schedule 1 or set forth in a Service Level Agreement attached in Schedule 2, including those that are an inherent part or subpart thereof. Such ancillary services which are an essential part of the Services referred to
in Schedule 1 or set forth in a Service Level Agreement attached in Schedule 2, will not be deemed to be an Additional Service, and there will be no separate charge for such ancillary services; rather the price for such ancillary
services shall be included in the charge for the particular Service referred to in Schedule 1 or set forth in a Service Level Agreement attached in Schedule 2,of which such ancillary service is a part. 

  

	 	2.2.4 	In the event that the terms of this Agreement conflict with the terms of an individual Service Level Agreement, the terms of the Service Level Agreement shall prevail.

	  	7 / 24

	2.3	Management of Service Level Agreements 

 Each Party
shall designate a project manager (a “Project Manager”) to report and discuss issues with respect to the provision of the Services. The Project Managers shall meet to discuss the performance of the Services as often as the Parties
deem necessary to ensure the orderly provision of the Services, and in any event at least bi-annually, and shall have authority to address and remedy problems related to the provision of the Services. Each Party shall designate successor Project
Managers in the event that a designated individual is not available to perform such role hereunder. 
  

	2.4	Performance by Affiliates 

 NXP and the Purchaser
shall procure that their relevant Affiliates and any Third-Party Service Provider arranged by NXP in accordance with clause 3.4.2 shall perform their relevant obligations in accordance with this Agreement. 
  

	3	SERVICES, STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS 

  

	3.1	Cost 

  

	 	3.1.1 	NXP (or its relevant Affiliates) shall provide the Services to the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliates) and the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliates) shall obtain the Services
from NXP (or its relevant Affiliates) at the costs determined pursuant to the Allocation Keys (as defined below) - unless the nature of a Service changes materially due to the separation of the Operations and the different cost structure reflecting
the material change in the nature of the Service is agreed upon in the relevant Service Level Agreement - and at the conditions set forth in the Service Level Agreements, whereby the following cost principles shall apply: 

 

	 	(a)	For any Services that NXP is currently providing to the Operations - [*]; 

  

	 	(b)	For any Services other than those set forth in clause 3.1.1(a) – [*]; and 

  

	 	(c)	With respect to the provision of Services after 2008, [*].  

  

	 	3.1.2 	The Purchaser and NXP have mutually agreed upon allocation keys applicable for each Service in each relevant jurisdiction as set forth in the relevant Service Level Agreements
attached in Schedule 2 (the “Allocation Keys”). 

  

	3.2	Standard of Performance 

 Unless (i) a
different performance standard is set forth in the applicable Service Level Agreement, or (ii) the nature of a Service changes materially due to the separation of the Operations and the different performance standard reflecting the material
change in the nature of the Service is agreed upon in the relevant Service Level Agreement, NXP agrees to provide the Services in substantially the same manner and at the same level as such Services were performed by NXP (and/or its Affiliates or
Third Party Service Providers arranged by NXP in accordance with clause 3.4.2) for the Operations prior to the date hereof, including (to the extent applicable) with respect to level of service, priority of service, timeliness and quality and in any
event in a professional and workmanlike manner, using 

  

			
		  	
	 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. OMITTED PORTIONS
 MARKED WITH [*] AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC.
	  	8 / 24

 
personnel with sufficient training and expertise. Subject to clause 9 (Force Majeure), NXP shall give the Services substantially the same priority as it
accords its own operations. In the event the Purchaser brings to the attention of NXP any alleged failure by NXP, its Affiliates or a Third-Party Service Provider arranged by NXP in accordance with clause 3.4.2 to meet, in whole or in part, a
service level, the Project Manager appointed by NXP shall (i) promptly investigate and notify the Purchaser of the cause of the alleged problem, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the problem, if any, at no additional cost
to the Purchaser, and to resume meeting the service levels as promptly as practical and (iii) reasonably advise the Purchaser of the status of the remedial efforts being undertaken with respect to the problem. 
  

	3.3	Downtime 

 In respect of IT Services provided
hereunder, NXP shall provide the Purchaser reasonable notice of any scheduled interference with NXP’s operating or other systems, including downtime for network maintenance, which is reasonable likely to interrupt the performance of or the
availability of equipment necessary for the provision of any Service. In connection herewith, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser shall not experience more downtime (pro rata) than other NXP businesses which make use of the same
systems. In line with the current situation, the Purchaser shall also be obliged to pay any fees with respect to any period that the Services are interrupted (and hence not provided) due to scheduled interference with NXP’s operating or other
systems. 
  

	3.4	Third-Party Service Providers 

 NXP may provide the
Services directly (i.e. by means of its or its Affiliates’ own employees) or arrange for a Third-Party Service Provider to provide the Services. In this respect, the following arrangements apply: 
  

	 	3.4.1 	Services already provided by a third-party service provider within the one month period prior to the Closing Date 

 Except as otherwise agreed between the Parties herein or as otherwise provided for in the Service Level Agreements, the Services shall not include any
services which are already provided to the Operations by a third party within the one month period prior to the Closing Date and the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) with respect to any Contract (as defined in the SBSA) with respect to
such services, [*] shall apply and (ii) with respect to any Umbrella Contract (as defined in the SBSA) [*] shall apply. 
  

	 	3.4.2 	Services provided by Third-Party Service Providers after the Closing Date (outsourcing) 

 Subject to compliance with the terms below, after the Closing Date, NXP is entitled to arrange that certain Services provided by NXP or its Affiliate to
the Purchaser or its Affiliates will be provided by a Third-Party Service Provider (in stead of NXP or its Affiliate) for the remainder of the term of the relevant Services; provided, however, that the use of a Third-Party Service Provider to
provide the Services shall not relieve NXP of its obligations to provide the Services, if such Third-Party Service Provider fails to provide the Services or fails to provide the Services pursuant to the service levels agreed upon in this Agreement
or the relevant Service Level Agreement under this Agreement.

 For Services that relate to the Operations and to other operations of NXP, at the request of the
Purchaser, the Parties will continue to share these Services at terms to be agreed upon with the Third-Party Service Provider. 
 In case of
an outsourcing as set forth under this sub-clause 3.4.2, the following conditions will apply: 
  

	 	(a)	With respect to any outsourced Services that only relate to the Operations (the “Outsourced Dice Services”): the Purchaser expressly agrees with the appointment of
the Third-Party Service Provider prior to the appointment. For the avoidance of doubt, this sub-clause (a) does not apply to any Outsourced Shared Services. 

  

	 	(b)	With respect to any Services that relate to the Operations and to other operations of NXP (the “Outsourced Shared Services”): [*].

  

	 	(c)	With respect to any Outsourced Dice Services: [*]. 

  

	 	(d)	NXP will make a copy of this Agreement available to the Third-Party Service Provider and will enter into enforceable agreements with the Third Party Service Provider for the
remainder of the term of the relevant Services to bind the Third Party Service Provider to the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, clauses 5.2 (Records), 5.3 (Access), 7 (Intellectual Property Rights) and 10
(Confidentiality). 

  

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding sub-clauses (b) and (c) above, the standard of Service to be provided by the Third-Party Service Provider is at least substantially equivalent in
amount and quality to the standard of Service which had otherwise been provided or is to be provided hereunder by NXP, including with respect to level of service, priority of service, timeliness and quality, and in accordance with any relevant
Service Level Agreement the Purchaser executed with NXP or its Affiliates and in any event in a professional and workmanlike manner, using personnel with sufficient training and expertise. 

  

	3.5	Notice period for outsourcing 

  

	 	3.5.1 	In case of Outsourced Dice Services: NXP shall give the Purchaser not less than [*] of prior written notice of an intended outsourcing arrangement, unless,
notwithstanding NXP’s use of commercially reasonable efforts, the provision of prior written notice within [*] cannot be done for certain Services in which case NXP shall give the Purchaser at least [*] (and in any
event sufficient) prior written notice. 

  

	 	3.5.2 	In case of Outsourced Shared Services: NXP shall give the Purchaser not less than [*] of prior written notice of an intended outsourcing arrangement, unless,
notwithstanding NXP’s use of commercially reasonable efforts, the provision of prior written notice within [*] cannot be done for certain Services in which case NXP shall give the Purchaser at least [*] (and in any
event sufficient) prior written notice.

	3.6	The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that as promptly as possible after the Closing Date it will make every commercial effort to arrange for its own internal workforce or
third-party service providers to provide for the applicable services directly and independently. For the avoidance of doubt: The Purchaser’s agreement in the prior sentence shall not relieve NXP and/or its Affiliates or Third Party
Service Providers arranged by NXP in accordance with clause 3.4.2 to provide the Services to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein pending such transition. 

  

	4	INVOICING AND PAYMENT 

  

	4.1	The Purchaser (or Affiliate designated by the Purchaser) shall issue purchase orders for the agreed Services. All Services provided during any given month shall be invoiced
by NXP to the Purchaser (or Affiliate designated by the Purchaser) no later than [*] during which such Services were provided and invoice was submitted to the Purchaser (or Affiliate designated by the Purchaser), unless specified
otherwise in the relevant Service Level Agreement. 

  

	4.2	Invoices regarding Services provided by an Affiliate or a Third-Party Service Provider shall be addressed to the Purchaser (or Affiliate designated by the Purchaser) directly
and paid by the Purchaser (or Affiliate designated by the Purchaser) directly to such Affiliate or Third-Party Service Provider, in accordance with this clause 4, in so far as the Parties have not agreed on otherwise in the relevant Service Level
Agreement. 

  

	4.3	Unless contesting and evidencing in good faith the fees set forth on an invoice, the Purchaser (or Affiliate designated by the Purchaser) shall or shall procure that any invoice
will be paid to NXP (or to its Affiliate or the Third-Party Service Provider) within [*] of receipt of the invoice. The invoice shall make reference to the respective purchase order and/or be accompanied by reasonable documentation
supporting the fees owed and explaining the cost of the Service based upon the Allocation Key (where applicable), and shall set forth the Services provided, the fees payable for each Service and invoices for Services provided by NXP’s
Affiliates or Third-Party Service Providers, if any. 

  

	4.4	The Parties shall settle in good faith any dispute with respect to fees or amounts payable set forth on an invoice. Such dispute shall not free the Purchaser from its obligation to
settle any undisputed amounts due in the period agreed under this clause 4. 

  

	4.5	Cash neutral principle 

 The Parties
acknowledge and agree that the economic effect of this Agreement should be cash neutral for NXP. For the sole purpose of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall within five (5) Business Days after Closing pay to NXP a one-time deposit in cash of
[*], representing the cost of the provision of all Services under this Agreement and the Service Level Agreements for [*] period. The deposited amount will be adjusted on a quarterly basis based on the projected level of
Services that the Purchaser (and its Affiliates) shall require under this Agreement and the Service Level Agreements for the upcoming quarter with any increase of the deposited amount to be paid promptly by the Purchaser to NXP and any decrease of
the deposited amount to be paid promptly by NXP to the Purchaser. Upon termination of the provision of the Services, any remaining deposited amount, to the extent such amount has not been credited against any outstanding invoices, shall be
reimbursed promptly by NXP to the Purchaser.

	4.6	Taxes 

 If the transactions as described in this
Agreement and the Schedules hereto are subject to any applicable value added tax (VAT), sales Tax or any other similar Tax required by applicable law and regulations, NXP will be allowed to charge such Tax to the Purchaser, which will be paid by the
Purchaser in addition to the fees. 
  

	4.7	Parent Guarantee 

 The Purchaser Parent hereby:

  

	 	4.7.1	 as a separate and independent obligation, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to NXP, and shall be jointly and severally liable, as co-principal debtor to NXP for the
due and punctual performance and observance by the Purchaser of all its obligations under or pursuant to this clause 4 and the invoicing and payment provisions as set out in the Service Level Agreements (the “Guaranteed
Obligations”); and 

  

	 	4.7.2	 agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless NXP and, as an irrevocable third party stipulation, all other members of NXP’s group against all Losses (as defined in the
SBSA) which any of same may suffer through or arising from any breach by the Purchaser of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

  

	5	COOPERATION; RECORDS; ACCESS; CONSENTS 

  

	5.1	Cooperation 

 The Parties agree to fully cooperate
in good faith with each other in connection with the provision of the Services and the matters related to or arising hereunder, including, without limitation, NXP’s cooperation with the Purchaser to enable the Purchaser to establish its own
infrastructure to perform the Services independently of NXP as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. 
  

	5.2	Records 

 Each of the Parties shall create and
maintain full and accurate books in connection with the provision of the Services. For a period of no less than [*], the Parties will maintain, in accordance with their standard document retention procedures, documentation supporting
the information relevant to price calculations contained in the Service Level Agreements and cooperate with each other in making such information available as needed in the event of a Tax audit in any country. 
  

	5.3	Access 

 Subject to the Parties’ third-party
confidentiality obligations, each Party shall make available to the other Party during regular business hours (upon reasonable prior notice) (i) all personnel designated by the Party to oversee the Services, and (ii) all books and records
maintained by the Party in connection with this Agreement.

	5.4	Consents / Grace Period 

  

	 	5.4.1	 Except as otherwise agreed between the Parties herein or as otherwise provided for in the Service Level Agreements, the Services shall not include any services which are
already provided to the Operations by a third party within the one month period prior to the Closing Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) with respect to any Contract (as defined in the SBSA) with respect to such services,
[*] shall apply and (ii) with respect to any Umbrella Contract (as defined in the SBSA) [*] shall apply. 

  

	 	5.4.2	 With respect to the provision of the Services by a Third-Party Service Provider pursuant to clause 3.4.2 (i.e. outsourcing), NXP shall be responsible to obtain any consent
necessary for the performance of the Services under this Agreement by such Third-Party Service Provider which Services are deemed critical between the Parties, including without limitation, any required consent under any real property lease and
Purchaser shall [*]. 

  

	6	TERM AND TERMINATION OF SERVICES 

  

	6.1	Term 

 This Agreement shall become effective on the
Closing Date and, with respect to each Service, shall automatically terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, except: 
  

	 	6.1.1 	if a different period is set forth in Schedule 1; 

  

	 	6.1.2	 if a different period is set forth on an applicable Service Level Agreement; 

  

	 	6.1.3	 if the Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with clause 6.3; 

  

	 	6.1.4	 if the Agreement or a Service is extended in accordance with clause 2.2.2; or 

  

	 	6.1.5	 if a Service is earlier terminated in accordance with clause 6.1 below. 

 Unless otherwise agreed in a Service Level Agreement, the Purchaser may terminate the provision of any Service by giving NXP [*] prior written notice. For the avoidance of doubt, none of NXP, an
Affiliate of NXP or a Third Party Service Provider arranged by NXP may terminate the provision of any Service to the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) prior to the end of the term agreed upon herein with respect to such Service in Schedule
1 or pursuant to the relevant Service Level Agreement without the Purchaser’s prior written consent. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, once a Service has been terminated, the provision of such Service will not recommence unless NXP
accepts otherwise. 
  

	6.2	Interdependency 

 The Parties acknowledge and agree
that if a Service has been terminated and – as a consequence thereof – other Services can no longer be provided because of the interdependency between these Services (as determined between the Parties before the Closing Date in the Service
Level Agreements), such other Services shall be terminated as well.

	6.3	Material breach 

 Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this clause 6, this Agreement may be terminated with immediate effect by either NXP or the Purchaser by providing written notice to the other Party if the other Party has committed a material breach in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, which breach has not been cured within thirty (30) Business Days after giving a written notice specifying such breach by the non-breaching Party to the breaching Party. To the extent applicable, individual
Service Level Agreements will specify the conditions deemed to be a material breach with respect to a specific Service. 
  

	6.4	Effect of termination 

  

	 	6.4.1	 Upon termination of this Agreement (i) the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliate) shall be obligated to pay NXP (or its relevant Affiliates or the relevant Third-Party
Service Provider) any outstanding and non-contested invoices for Services performed prior to such termination, and (ii) NXP shall deliver to the Purchaser all property belonging to the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliate) and provided to NXP
pursuant to this Agreement. 

  

	 	6.4.2	 The following clauses shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement: clauses 7 (Intellectual Property Rights), 8 (Liability), 10 (Confidentiality), 11 (Dispute
Resolution Procedure; Applicable Law) and 13 (Miscellaneous). 

  

	 	6.4.3	 Termination of a Service or this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof shall not act as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement and shall not act as a release of either
Party from any liability for breach of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties under any other agreement between the Parties.

  

	7	INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 

 The Parties
acknowledge and agree that the IPTLA exclusively sets forth the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to (any transfer of) intellectual property rights. 
  

	8	LIABILITY 

  

	8.1	No Implied Warranty 

 Subject to clause 5.4, NXP
represents and warrants that (i) it has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, (ii) there is no other existing agreement or duty on NXP’s part that would interfere with
NXP’s ability to effectively perform the Services in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) so far as NXP is aware, the Services do not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. Except as otherwise
specifically set forth in this Agreement, NXP (and its relevant Affiliates) do not provide any warranty, express or implied, to the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliates) with respect to the Services and any other matters set forth in this

	8.2	No Liability 

 The Parties acknowledge and agree
that the primary objective of this Agreement is to assist the Purchaser with certain Services for a transitional period of time after the Closing Date. In furtherance hereof, the Parties agree with the following: 
  

	 	8.2.1	 Services provided by NXP or its Affiliate: NXP (or its relevant Affiliates) shall not be liable to the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliates) for any damages, unless
such damages incurred or sustained by the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliate) result from: (i) gross negligence or wilful misconduct by NXP (or its relevant Affiliate or Third-Party Service Provider performing Services pursuant to clause
3.4.2), (ii) the failure by NXP (or its relevant Affiliate or Third-Party Service Provider performing Services pursuant to clause 3.4.2) to comply fully with its obligations to any of its employees, including, without limitation, payment of
wages, provision of benefits, and payment of employment Taxes, or (iii) material breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement by NXP (or its relevant Affiliate or Third-Party Service Provider performing Services pursuant to clause 3.4.2).
In such event, NXP shall only be liable for direct damages of the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliate) and in no event shall NXP be liable, whether in contract or in tort, for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages or
loss of profits, whether arising out of warranty or contract, gross negligence, wilful misconduct or other non-intentional act, or otherwise, except for damages resulting from fraud or an intentional breach under this Agreement.

  

	 	8.2.2	 Services provided by Third-Party Service Provider: NXP (or its relevant Affiliate) shall not be liable to the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliates) for any damages
incurred or suffered by the Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliates) relating to or arising out of any failure of any third-party service provider arranged by the Purchaser and/or any Third-Party Service Provider to provide Services in accordance with
clause 3.4.1 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if NXP arranges for certain Services previously provided by NXP or its Affiliates prior to Closing to be provided by a Third-Party Service Provider after the Closing in accordance with
clause 3.4.2 of this Agreement, NXP shall be liable to the Purchaser for the Third-Party Service Provider’s provision of the Services during the remainder of the term of the relevant Services to the same extent as clause 8.2.1 above.

  

	9	FORCE MAJEURE 

  

	9.1	Force Majeure 

 “Force Majeure”
means events beyond the reasonable control of a Party, which are not reasonable foreseeable and whose effects are not capable of being overcome without unreasonable expense, or loss of time and such events shall include (without limitation) civil

	9.2	Force Majeure consequences 

  

	 	9.2.1	 Should a Party (or its relevant Affiliate) be affected by a Force Majeure, it shall inform the other Party in writing specifying the Force Majeure as well as its expected
duration. The affected Party (or its relevant Affiliate) shall be excused by the other Party from performance under this Agreement or any Service Level Agreement to the extent the Force Majeure prevents such performance. 

  

	 	9.2.2	 The party claiming benefit of this provision shall attempt in good faith to resume performance as soon as commercially reasonable provided that in case a Force Majeure lasts
for more than 60 (sixty) days, either Party shall be entitled to terminate the relevant Service Level Agreement. 

  

	10	CONFIDENTIALITY 

  

	10.1	Subject to clause 10.2, each of NXP, its Affiliates and Third Party Service Providers (performing Services pursuant to clause 3.4.2) shall treat as strictly confidential and
not disclose or use, for any purposes other than performing the Services, any information of the Purchaser received or obtained as a result of entering into this Agreement or any Service Level Agreement (or any agreement entered into pursuant to
this Agreement) which relates to the provisions of this Agreement, any Service Level Agreement and any agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiations relating to this Agreement (and any such other agreement)
(“Confidential Information”). 

  

	10.2	Clause 10.1 shall not prohibit the disclosure or use of any Confidential Information if and to the extent: 

  

	 	(a)	required by law or the rules and regulations of any recognised stock exchange on which the shares of any Party are listed; 

  

	 	(b)	required for the purpose of any judicial proceedings arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into under or pursuant to this Agreement;

  

	 	(c)	the disclosure is made to a Tax Authority in connection with the Tax affairs of the disclosing Party; 

  

	 	(d)	the disclosure is made to professional advisers of any Party that are subject to a duty of confidentiality; 

  

	 	(e)	the information is or becomes publicly available (other than by breach of this Agreement); 

  

	 	(f)	the other Party has given prior written approval to the disclosure or use; or 

  

	 	(g)	the information is obtained free of any restrictions on use or obligations of confidentiality from a third party which is itself, to the knowledge of the disclosing Party,
free of any restrictions on use or obligations of confidentiality with respect to that information;

 provided that, prior to disclosure or use of any Confidential Information pursuant to clauses 10.2 (a),
(b) or (c), NXP shall promptly notify the Purchaser of such requirement with a view to providing the Purchaser with the opportunity to contest such disclosure or use or otherwise to agree the timing and content of such disclosure or use.

  

	10.3	It is understood by the Parties that NXP, its Affiliates and any Third-Party Service Provider arranged by NXP in accordance with clause 3.4.2, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and
its Affiliates, on the other hand, may disclose Confidential Information to their respective employees, partners and agents only on a “need to know” basis and that NXP or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall cause itself and its
Affiliates and such Third-Party Service Providers (with respect to NXP) to cause their employees, partners and agents to treat such Confidential Information confidential pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

  

	10.4	Each Party acknowledges that the unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information would cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the other Party, the degree of
which may be difficult to ascertain. Such other Party is entitled to enforce the terms of this clause 10 by a decree of specific performance or injunction. 

  

	10.5	All written documents containing Confidential Information and other materials in a tangible form received by a Party shall remain the property of the disclosing Party, and all such
documents, together with any copies, excerpts, or notes thereof, whether received, made, complied or otherwise obtained by the receiving Party shall be promptly returned or to the extent these cannot be returned, be destroyed by the receiving Party
upon reasonable request by the disclosing Party or upon termination of this Agreement. The receiving Party shall provide satisfactory evidence of such destruction promptly upon such destruction. 

  

	10.6	This clause 10 in no way qualifies, limits, or otherwise restricts any of the confidentiality provisions, terms or conditions of any of the other agreements entered into by and
between the Parties, including, without limitation, the SBSA and the MSCA. 

  

	11	DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE; APPLICABLE LAW

	13.3	Assignment 

 Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement, no Party may, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which shall not unreasonably be withheld), assign, grant any security interest over, hold on trust or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, any of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Purchaser may assign this Agreement, together with all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of NXP, to any Affiliate of Purchaser. Any
purported assignment, sale, transfer, delegation or other disposition by either Party except as permitted herein, shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties
and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including any successor entity or parent entity of any Party hereto pursuant to any merger, acquisition, re-structuring, disposal, change of control, or sale or other similar transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may at its costs assign, sell, delegate and otherwise transfer this Agreement and the Schedules hereto, together with all of the Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder without such approval in
connection with a merger, reorganization, reincorporation into another state, or sale of all, or substantially all, of the business and assets of the Purchaser Parent, if the assignee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement to the same extent as the Purchaser. 
  

	13.4	Waiver 

 A Party’s failure to enforce at any
time or for any period of time of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed a waiver of such provisions nor of the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every provision herein contained. 
  

	13.5	Invalidity 

 If any provision in this Agreement
shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under any enactment or rule of law, such provision or part shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Agreement but the legality, validity and enforceability of
the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected. To the extent permitted by law, such provision shall be deemed substituted by provisions (i) that are valid, legal and enforceable and (ii) the operation and effect of which are as
similar as possible to the provisions for which they substitute. 
  

	13.6	Third-party rights 

 Except as expressly provided
for in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any Person that is not a Party or the successor or permitted assignee of a Party to this Agreement.
