case, as something other than a true sale or true contribution. 
 (c) Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute,
continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted
revocation by Guarantor. This Guaranty may be enforced by Purchaser and any successor, endorsee, permitted transferee or permitted assignee under the Master Repurchase Agreement and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or
part thereof in compliance with the Transaction Documents. 
 (d) Satisfaction of Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor shall satisfy its
obligations hereunder without demand, presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice
whatsoever. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Seller, or any other party, against Purchaser or against the payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations, other than the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with such Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. 

(e) No Duty to Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Purchaser (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have
to require Purchaser), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Seller or others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person, (ii) enforce or
exhaust Purchaser’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) join Seller or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty or
(iv) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Purchaser shall not be entitled to actually receive payment of the same amounts from both Seller and Guarantor. Purchaser shall not be required to mitigate
damages or take any other action to collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations. 

  
 4 

 (f) Waivers. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Transaction Documents, and
hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Purchaser to Seller or the purchase of any Purchased Asset by Purchaser from Seller, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Master Repurchase
Agreement or of any other Transaction Documents, (iv) the execution and delivery by Seller and Purchaser of any other agreement or of Seller’s execution and delivery of any other documents arising under the Transaction Documents or in
connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) the occurrence of any breach by Seller or an Event of Default under the Transaction Documents, (vi) Purchaser’s transfer or disposition of the Transaction Documents, or any part thereof
in compliance with the Transaction Documents, (vii) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of
non-payment or default by Seller, (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Purchaser and (x) all other demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Transaction
Documents and any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (g) Payment of
Expenses. In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, within three (3) Business Days after demand by Purchaser, pay Purchaser all costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of external counsel) actually incurred by Purchaser in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Purchaser’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this
Article II(g) shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (h) Effect of
Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Purchaser must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof,
received by Purchaser in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Purchaser shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full
force and effect. It is the intention of Seller and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Seller’s or Guarantor’s payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations which is not so
rescinded or Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance. 
 (i) Deferral of
Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably defers any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law
or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Purchaser), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Seller or any other party liable for
payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of the Master Repurchase Agreement. Guarantor hereby
subordinates all of its subrogation rights against Seller arising from payments made under this Guaranty to the full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations due Purchaser for a period of ninety-one
(91) days following the final payment of the last of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of the Master Repurchase Agreement. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount 

  
 5 

 
shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Purchaser, segregated from other funds of Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Guarantor, be turned over to Purchaser in the exact form received
by Guarantor (duly indorsed by Guarantor to Purchaser, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Purchaser may determine. 

(j) Taxes. In addition to and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantor, to the extent not paid by Seller, shall pay
additional amounts to, and indemnify Purchaser with respect to, any taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) to the same extent as Seller would have paid such additional amounts and indemnified Purchaser with respect to such taxes
under Article 27(a) of the Master Repurchase Agreement as if Guarantor were Seller under the Master Repurchase Agreement. 
 (k)
Seller. The term “Seller” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, limited liability company, association, partnership (general or limited), joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a
result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Seller or any interest in Seller.

the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, (iii) Seller has valid defenses (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations), claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Guaranteed
Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from Seller, (iv) the creation, performance or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Guaranteed
Obligations or executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or given to secure the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations) is illegal, uncollectible or unenforceable or (v) the Master Repurchase Agreement, or any of the other

pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance
or support of any other party, and Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement, as between Purchaser and Guarantor, that other parties will be liable to pay or
perform the Guaranteed Obligations, or that Purchaser will look to other parties to pay or perform the obligations of Seller under the Master Repurchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

securing payment of, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser, the failure of Purchaser or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any
part of such collateral, property or security, including but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Purchaser (i) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or
(ii) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any security therefor, or (iii) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement

the collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (j) Offset. The liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Purchaser hereunder
shall not be reduced, discharged or released because of or by reason of any existing or future right of offset, claim or defense (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations) of Seller against Purchaser, or any other party, or against payment
of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such right of offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations).

extent the same shall result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser, any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Transaction Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor,

Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or omission whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly
described herein, which obligation shall be deemed satisfied only upon the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations.

still the greater amount. 
 (ii) EBITDA to Interest Expense Ratio. As of the end of each fiscal quarter of Guarantor
commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2021, the ratio of Guarantor’s EBITDA to Guarantor’s Interest Expense shall not at any time be less than 1.50 to 1.00, calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis.

agreement, warehouse facility or other similar commercial real estate lending transaction with any other repurchase buyer or lender which by its terms provides more favorable financial covenants (including related definitions) than those noted above
(a “More Favorable Agreement”), then the financial covenants noted above shall be deemed to be automatically modified to such more favorable terms as of the effective date of 

  
 12 

 
such More Favorable Agreement and, upon execution of such More Favorable Agreement, Guarantor shall give prompt notice in reasonable detail to Purchaser of such more favorable terms. Following
such notice and upon Purchaser’s request, Guarantor shall enter into such amendments to this Guaranty as may reasonably be required by Purchaser to give effect to such more favorable terms. 

If such More Favorable Agreement is subsequently amended or terminated and as a result such more favorable financial covenants are modified in
favor of Guarantor or cease to apply, the then applicable financial covenants in this Guaranty shall be deemed to be automatically modified to such Guarantor-favorable terms (but not less favorable terms for Purchaser than set forth herein) and,
upon request of Guarantor, Purchaser shall enter into such amendments to this Guaranty as may reasonably be required by Guarantor to give effect to such more favorable terms. 

ARTICLE VI. 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 (a)
Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Purchaser, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right. The rights of Purchaser hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless
in writing signed by Purchaser and Guarantor and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same,
similar or other instances without such notice or demand (except to the extent such a notice or demand is required by the terms hereof). 

(b) Set-Off. Purchaser and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Guarantor, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in
whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Purchaser or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of Guarantor now or
hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not Purchaser or any such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Transaction
Document and although such obligations of Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of Purchaser or such Affiliate different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness. The rights of Purchaser and its Affiliates under this Article VI(b) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that they may have. Purchaser shall provide prompt written notice to Guarantor
of any set-off affected under this Article VI(b) to the extent it is not prohibited from doing so by applicable law.

prepaid, (iii) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of delivery or (iv) by electronic mail, provided that such electronic mail notice must also be delivered by one of the

automatic response shall not constitute confirmation); in the case of notice to Purchaser, to the address specified in Exhibit I to the Master Repurchase Agreement and, in the case of notice to Guarantor, to the address
specified below, or to such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by Guarantor or Purchaser, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other in the manner provided for in this Article VI(c). A notice shall be

attempted delivery on a Business Day, (3) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day or (4) in the case of electronic mail, upon receipt of a verbal or electronic confirmation
acknowledging receipt thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, any automatically generated email or any similar automatic response shall not constitute confirmation). A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for
notice under this Article VI may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this Guaranty, as

Exhibit 4.1    DESCRIPTION OF NXP ORDINARY SHARES  The following description of the material terms of the NXP ordinary shares is a summary only and is not  a complete description of such terms. The rights of the holders of NXP ordinary shares will be governed  by Dutch law and the articles of association of NXP.   Authorized Share Capital  The articles of association of NXP provide for two classes of shares, 430,503,000 NXP ordinary shares  and 645,754,500 cumulative preferred shares. The cumulative preferred shares are divided into one series  numbered PA, consisting of 430,503,000 cumulative preferred shares and one series numbered PB,  consisting of 215,251,500 cumulative preferred shares. All shares have a par value of EUR 0.20 each.  Issuance of NXP Ordinary Shares  NXP ordinary shares are issued pursuant to a resolution proposed by the NXP board and adopted by the  NXP general meeting.  The NXP board is authorized to issue shares if the NXP board has been authorized to do so by the NXP  general meeting for a period not exceeding five years.  Pre-emptive rights  Upon the issuance of NXP ordinary shares, each holder of NXP ordinary shares has a pre-emptive right in  proportion to the aggregate amount of its NXP ordinary shares. Holders of NXP ordinary shares do not  have pre-emptive rights upon an issuance of NXP ordinary shares to NXP employees, an issuance of NXP  ordinary shares against a contribution in kind or an issuance of cumulative preferred shares.  Pre-emptive rights can be restricted or excluded by the NXP general meeting, or by the NXP board if  thereto authorized by the NXP general meeting for a period not exceeding five years.  Transfer of NXP Ordinary Shares  NXP ordinary shares can be transferred by private deed to which the transferor and the transferee are a  party. All NXP ordinary shares traded on NASDAQ are included in the DTC-system and delivery of  those shares will take effect through the clearing and settlement facilities of DTC.  Form of NXP Ordinary Shares  NXP ordinary shares are issued in registered form only. No share certificates are issued for NXP ordinary  shares.  Repurchase of NXP Ordinary Shares  NXP is permitted to acquire fully paid-up shares in its own capital at any time if no consideration is paid  therefor.  Furthermore, subject to certain provisions of Dutch law and the articles of association of NXP, NXP is  permitted to repurchase fully paid-up shares in its own share capital if (i) the portion of NXP’s equity that  exceeds the aggregate of the paid-up and called-up part of the share capital and the reserves that must be  maintained pursuant to Dutch law or the articles of association of NXP is at least equal to the aggregate  purchase price paid in the repurchase and (ii) the aggregate par value of the shares to be acquired, and of  any shares already held, by NXP and its subsidiaries does not exceed one-half of NXP’s issued capital.  

 

Exhibit 4.1    NXP will only be able to repurchase its shares following a resolution of the NXP board, acting pursuant  to an authorization for the repurchase of shares granted by the NXP general meeting not exceeding a  period of 18 months.  No authorization of the NXP general meeting is required if NXP shares are acquired by NXP for transfer  to employees of NXP or its subsidiaries pursuant to a compensation scheme.  Capital Reduction  The NXP general meeting may resolve to reduce the issued share capital by reducing the par value of the  shares through an amendment to the articles of association of NXP or by cancelling shares. Only NXP  ordinary shares held by NXP can be cancelled.  Dividends and Other Distributions  The profits earned by NXP in a financial year will be distributed as follows:  • If any cumulative preferred shares series PA are outstanding, a preferred dividend will be paid on  each outstanding cumulative preferred share of series PA in an amount equal to 12-month  EURIBOR plus up to 300 basis points as determined by the NXP board to be calculated over the  paid-up part of the par value of the cumulative preferred shares and any unpaid preferred  dividends relating to prior years.    • If in a given financial year no profit is made or the profits are insufficient to allow for the full  payment of the preferred dividend on the cumulative preferred shares series PA, the deficit will  be charged to the distributable reserves. If the distributable reserves are not sufficient either, the  profits earned in subsequent years will be applied first to clear the deficit on the cumulative  preferred shares series PA.    • After payment in full on the cumulative preferred shares series PA, a distribution will be made on  the cumulative preferred shares series PB. The immediately preceding two bullets above apply  mutatis mutandis on the payment of distributions on the cumulative preferred shares series PB.    • Any amount of profits remaining after the payment described in the immediately preceding three  bullets above will be carried to the reserve as the NXP board may deem necessary.    • The then remaining profits are at the free disposal of the NXP general meeting.  Distributions of profits will be permitted only to the extent of that portion of NXP’s equity that exceeds  the aggregate of the paid-up and called-up part of the share capital and the reserves that must be  maintained pursuant to Dutch law or the articles of association of NXP.  Distributions will be paid after the adoption of NXP’s annual accounts, except that the NXP board may  pay interim distributions to be charged against the distribution of profits if it appears from NXP’s interim  accounts that the requirements for the distribution of profits will be satisfied.  General Meeting  An NXP general meeting will be held at least once a year within six months after the end of the financial  year. NXP general meetings are held in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Amsterdam, The Hague,  Eindhoven, Haarlemmermeer, Rotterdam or Utrecht.  

 

Exhibit 4.1    Notice of an NXP general meeting will be given at least 15 days before the date of the meeting. The  record date for the NXP general meeting will be 28 days prior to the date of the meeting.  NXP shareholders (individually or collectively) representing at least 3% of NXP’s issued share capital  will be entitled to include items on the agenda of any NXP general meeting. The request must be made by  such shareholders at the latest 60 days before the date the NXP general meeting.  One or more NXP shareholders representing (individually or collectively) at least 10% of NXP’s issued  share capital may request the Dutch court to order that an NXP general meeting be held and may on their  application be authorized by the court to convene an NXP general meeting. The court will refuse the  application only if the applicants have not previously requested the NXP board to convene an NXP  general meeting and the NXP board has not taken the necessary steps so that the NXP general meeting  could be held within six weeks after the request.  Voting Rights and Quorum  Each NXP ordinary share confers the right to cast one vote at the NXP general meeting.  Resolutions proposed to the NXP general meeting by the NXP board are adopted by a simple majority of  the votes cast unless Dutch law or the articles of association of NXP provide otherwise. Resolutions  proposed by NXP shareholders require a resolution adopted by a two-thirds majority of the votes cast,  which two-thirds majority represents at least half of the issued share capital.  Subject to any provision of  Dutch law and any higher quorum requirement stipulated by the articles of association, the general  meeting can only pass resolutions if at least the majority of the issued and outstanding shares in NXP’s  capital are present or represented at such general meeting.  Blank votes and invalid votes will be regarded as not have been cast. No votes may be cast in respect of  NXP ordinary shares that are held by NXP or its subsidiaries.  Amendment to the Articles of Association  The NXP general meeting is authorized to amend the articles of association of NXP, but only upon  proposal by the NXP board. If a proposal to amend the articles of association of NXP is to be made at an  NXP general meeting the notice convening the general meeting will state so. A copy of the proposal will  be kept available at NXP’s corporate seat in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and such other locations as the  NXP board determines for inspection by NXP shareholders until the conclusion of the NXP general  meeting.  Major Transactions, Mergers, Demergers and Dissolution  Resolutions of the NXP board regarding significant changes in the identity or nature of NXP or its  businesses must be approved by the NXP general meeting. Significant changes in the identity or nature of  NXP or its businesses include:  • the transfer of all or nearly all of the businesses of NXP to a third party;  • entering into or terminating a long-term cooperation of NXP with a third party, if such  cooperation is of major significance to NXP;  • becoming or withdrawing as a fully liable partner in a limited partnership or general partnership if  such partnership is of major significance to NXP; or  

 

Exhibit 4.1    • acquiring or disposing of participating interests in the capital of any legal entity at a value at least  equal to one third of the sum of the assets of NXP as shown on its consolidated balance sheet  according to the most recently adopted annual accounts (which accounts are prepared in  accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union  (IFRS)).  The resolution to enter into a legal merger or demerger or to dissolve NXP is adopted by the NXP general  meeting on a proposal of the NXP board. In the event NXP is dissolved, the NXP board will be the  liquidators of its assets, unless the NXP general meeting appoints other liquidators.  Listing  The NXP ordinary shares are listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “NXPI.”  Anti-Takeover Provisions  Under Dutch law various protective measures are as such possible and admissible, within the boundaries  set by Dutch case law and Dutch statutory law.  NXP’s articles of association authorize the issuance of  cumulative preferred shares as a separate class of equity securities that could be issued for defensive  purposes. Such shares would typically have both a liquidation and dividend preference over the NXP  ordinary shares and otherwise accrue cash dividends at a fixed rate. As the issuance of preferred shares  must be first adopted by the NXP general meeting on a proposal of the NXP board, any issuance of  preferred shares for defensive purposes must first be approved by a majority of shareholders. Currently,  no such preferred shares are issued or outstanding and currently, the NXP board has not been authorized  to issue such preferred shares.
