FOR DIRECTORS

1.Grant of Restricted Stock. 
1.1.ON Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the grantee (the “Grantee”) set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock for Directors (the “Notice”) an award (this “Award”) of restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Restricted Stock”), as set forth in the Notice and subject to the terms and conditions in this Restricted Stock Award Agreement for Directors (this “Award Agreement”) and the ON Semiconductor Corporation Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).  The period during which the restrictions imposed on the Restricted Stock by the Plan and this Award Agreement are in effect is referred to as the “Restricted Period.”  All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
1.2.The Company hereby grants to the Grantee [_____] shares of Restricted Stock. The number of shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Award Agreement represents an amount equal to $[____   _] divided by the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date (as set forth in the Notice, the “Grant Date”), rounded up to the next whole share. This Award is granted pursuant to the Plan, and its terms are incorporated herein by reference. 
2.Vesting.  The Restricted Stock shall vest on the day prior to the date of the Company’s [____] annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if such meeting is not held within 30 days of the first anniversary of the prior year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Restricted Stock shall vest on that 30th day after such anniversary.  In the event that the Grantee dies or is removed from the Board without Cause during the Restricted Period, the Restricted Stock shall immediately vest.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2 or as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, termination of Board service during the Restricted Period shall result in forfeiture of all unvested Restricted Stock.
3.Issuance of Shares; Award Restrictions.  Within 15 days of the Grant Date, a book entry in the Company’s stock issuance records shall reflect (a) the Restricted Stock as registered in the name of the Grantee and (b) that during the Restricted Period, the transferability of the Restricted Stock is restricted in accordance with the terms and conditions (including conditions of forfeiture) contained in the Plan and this Award Agreement.  To the extent permitted by the Plan, the Grantee shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company during the Restricted Period with respect to the Restricted Stock, including the right to vote the shares. However, if any dividends or distributions are declared during the Restricted Period, all such amounts attributable to the shares of Restricted Stock shall accrue when declared and pay out or be forfeited in tandem with the vesting or forfeiture of the related shares of Restricted Stock. 
4.    Limitations on Transferability.  During the Restricted Period, neither the shares of Restricted Stock nor any related accrued dividends, distributions or rights may be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided under Article 13 of the Plan.  Once the Restricted Period ends, the Grantee is free to hold or dispose of the vested shares, subject to (a) applicable securities laws, (b) the Company’s insider trading policy, and (c) any stock ownership guidelines then in effect for non-employee directors.

The Grantee hereby agrees that Grantee shall maintain the confidentiality of these matters to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall not disclose them to any third party. 
19.2    Exceptions.  There are limited exceptions to the above confidentiality requirement if the Grantee is providing information to government agencies, including but not limited to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (or its state equivalent) and the Securities and Exchange Commission.  This Award Agreement does not limit the Grantee’s ability to communicate with any government agencies regarding matters within their jurisdiction or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice, to the government agencies.  Nothing in this Award Agreement shall prevent the Grantee from disclosing confidential information or trade secrets that: (i) is made: (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  In the event that the Grantee files a lawsuit alleging retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Grantee may disclose confidential information or trade secrets related to the suspected violation of law or alleged retaliation to the Grantee’s attorney and use the confidential information or trade secrets in the court proceeding if the Grantee or the Grantee’s attorney: (x) files any document containing confidential information or trade secrets under seal; and (y) does not disclose the confidential information or trade secrets, except pursuant to court order.

4

obligation or liability, and the Grantee may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including the Company’s termination of the Grantee’s service as a member of the Board for Cause.
20.    Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any related shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.  Further, the Award and profits under this Award Agreement are subject to the Company’s compensation recovery policy or policies (and related Company practices) as such may be in effect from time to time, whether or not such policies were adopted in response to Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended, and similar or related laws, rules and regulations.  In addition to the Company’s compensation recovery policy or policies, and notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Company may require the Grantee to forfeit all or a portion of any shares of Stock delivered pursuant to this Award Agreement if: (i) the Grantee’s service as a member of the Board is terminated for Cause; or (ii) the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that the Grantee engaged in serious misconduct that results or might reasonably be expected to result in financial or reputational harm to the Company.
