(b) Each Selling Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and each other Selling Shareholder from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, not misleading, in each case to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, based upon Selling Shareholder Information furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Shareholder specifically for use therein, provided that the liability of each Selling Shareholder under this subsection shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before such Selling Shareholder’s expenses, to such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder.

(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholders, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, not misleading, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use therein.

(d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 11(a) to 11(c), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (2) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section, and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Selling Shareholders, and all persons, if any, who control any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either such Section. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. In the case of any such separate firm for all Selling Shareholders, Company and such control persons of any Selling Shareholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding 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 claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding 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.

(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 11(a) to 11(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (1) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (2) if the allocation provided by Section 11(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 11(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and each Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and each Selling Shareholder and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company and each Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand 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 or any Selling Shareholder or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ and the Selling Shareholders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 11 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased or sold hereunder, as applicable, and not joint.

(f) The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 11(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 11(e) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no Selling Shareholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before such Selling Shareholder’s expenses, to such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder. 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. The remedies provided for in this Section 11 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 11 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder, or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

12. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading in the Ordinary Shares or trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, (ii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iii) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. Federal or New York State authorities or authorities in The Netherlands or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or currency exchange controls or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, individually or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

13. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 13 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Selling Shareholders for the purchase of such Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholders. In any such case either you or the relevant Selling Shareholders shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or any Selling Shareholder to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or any Selling Shareholder shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company and such Selling Shareholder will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

14. Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service. The Company and each Selling Shareholder irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in The City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the offering of the Shares. The Company and each Selling Shareholder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company hereby irrevocably appoints ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding described in the preceding paragraph and agrees that service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent. Each Selling Shareholder hereby irrevocably appoints the persons set forth below such Selling Shareholder’s name in Schedule IV hereto as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding described in the preceding paragraph and agrees that service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent. The Company and each Selling Shareholder waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Company and each Selling Shareholder represents and warrants that such agent has agreed to act as its agent for service of process, and the Company and each Selling Shareholder agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action based on this Agreement may be instituted by the Underwriters in any competent court in The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

▇▇

▇▇. Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any the Company or any Selling Shareholder may be entitled in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced hereunder, to claim for itself or its revenues or assets any immunity, including sovereign immunity, from suit, jurisdiction, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment or prior to a judgment, execution of a judgment or any other legal process with respect to its obligations hereunder and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to the Company or any Selling Shareholder such an immunity (whether or not claimed), the Company and such Selling Shareholder hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the maximum extent permitted by law. As a matter of Dutch law, the Company’s assets are not intended for public use (openbare dienst) and as a result the Company is not entitled to immunity from legal proceedings, nor are its assets immune from execution.

16. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company and each Selling Shareholder with respect to any sum due from it to any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Underwriter or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Underwriter or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, the Company and such Selling Shareholder agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, such Underwriter or controlling person agrees to pay to the Company and such Selling Shareholder an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder.

17. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Company and each Selling Shareholder under this Agreement, if any (including, for purposes of this provision, to any relevant extent, the difference between the Public Offering Price and the Purchase Price), will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature, and all interest, penalties and similar liabilities with respect thereto, imposed or levied by or on behalf of The Netherlands or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein unless the Company or such Selling Shareholder is or becomes required by law to withhold or deduct such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges, and all interest, penalties and similar liabilities with respect thereto. In such event, the Company or such Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, will pay such additional amounts as will result, after such withholding or deduction, in the receipt by each Underwriter and each person controlling any Underwriter, as the case may be, of the amounts that would otherwise have been receivable in respect thereof, except to the extent such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges, and all interest, penalties and similar liabilities with respect thereto, if any, are imposed or levied by reason of such Underwriter’s or controlling person’s being connected with The Netherlands other than by reason of its being an Underwriter or a person controlling any Underwriter under this Agreement.

(b) All costs and expenses for which the Underwriters are to be reimbursed or indemnified under this Agreement, including any value added tax or any similar taxes (“VAT”) in respect of such costs or expenses, as well as all fees and amounts payable by the Company and any Selling Shareholder under this Agreement (including, for purposes of this provision, to any relevant extent, the difference between the Public Offering Price and the Purchase Price) are exclusive of any VAT. If the transactions described in this Agreement are subject to any VAT, the Underwriters shall provide the Company and each applicable Selling Shareholder with a valid invoice that complies with all relevant tax regulations and that specifically states the applicable VAT. Provided the Underwriters have stated the applicable VAT on the invoice, the Company and such Selling Shareholder will pay the Underwriters the applicable VAT. The Company and each Selling Shareholder reserves the right to withhold payment of any VAT to the Underwriters until the Underwriters have provided the Company and such Selling Shareholder with a valid invoice that complies with all relevant tax regulations and that specifically states the applicable VAT. If the Underwriters have incorrectly determined the applicable VAT and, as a result thereof, the Company or such Selling Shareholder has overpaid the Underwriters, the Underwriters will repay the overpaid amount plus interest to the Company or such Selling Shareholder upon such person’s written request. If the Underwriters have incorrectly determined the applicable VAT and, as a result thereof, the Company or such Selling Shareholder has underpaid the Underwriters, the Company or such Selling Shareholder shall pay the outstanding amount to the Underwriters upon receipt of a valid invoice that complies with all relevant tax regulations and that specifically states the applicable VAT, as corrected.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Company and each Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation the Registration Statement and any amendments and supplements thereto, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.

19. Miscellaneous.

(a) The Company and each Selling Shareholder acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any Selling Shareholder or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company and the Selling Shareholders only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Shareholders. The Company and each Selling Shareholder waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

(b) The Company and each Selling Shareholder acknowledges that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company and each Selling Shareholder hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company or such Selling Shareholder by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Company and each Selling Shareholder acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Without limiting the applicability of Section 3 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Underwriter who is affiliated with any person or entity engaged to act as an investment adviser on behalf of a client who has a direct or indirect interest in the Shares being sold by a Selling Shareholder, the Shares being sold to such Underwriter shall not include any Ordinary Shares attributable to such client (with any such shares instead being allocated and sold to the other Underwriters) and, accordingly, the fees or other amounts received by such Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall not include any fees or other amounts attributable to such client.

(d) In accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company and the Selling Shareholders, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

21. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you (the “Underwriters”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with NXP Semiconductors N.V., a public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) formed in The Netherlands (the “Company”) and certain shareholders of the Company (the “Selling Shareholders”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the Underwriters of 30,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the ordinary shares, par value 0.20 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”).

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period (the “Restricted Period”) commencing on the date hereof and ending 30 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

“Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or representing Ordinary Shares or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Ordinary Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

I-1

The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to Ordinary Shares or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the offering of the Shares, (b) transfers of Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into Ordinary Shares as a bona fide gift, (c) distributions or other transfers of Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into Ordinary Shares to partners, members, interest holders or stockholders of the undersigned or of any of the undersigned’s affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) or to any investment funds, pension funds, mutual funds or similar entities controlled, managed, advised by or affiliated with the undersigned, provided that (x) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b) or (c), each donee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, shall sign and deliver to the Underwriters a lock-up letter in the form of this letter and (y) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c), no filing under the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in respect of the transfer or distribution during the Restricted Period, (d) the sale of any Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into Ordinary Shares in connection with (x) a “cashless exercise” of options or warrants or (y) the payment of taxes related to such options, warrants or other equity award, (e) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Ordinary Shares, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Ordinary Shares during the Restricted Period and to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period, (f) the tender of any Ordinary Shares in a public offer for all of the Ordinary Shares, and (g) the sale of the Shares to be sold under the Underwriting Agreement.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or representing Ordinary Shares. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company and the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, as applicable, against the transfer of the undersigned’s Ordinary Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

I-2

[Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent KKR Capital Markets LLC or its affiliates are deemed to be an affiliate of the undersigned or in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned, KKR Capital Markets LLC and its affiliates may engage in investment advisory, investment company, financial advisory, financing, asset management and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of its and its affiliates’ business; provided that this sentence shall have no application with respect to Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or representing Ordinary Shares held or beneficially owned by KKR NXP Investor S.a ▇.▇., KKR NXP (2006) Limited, KKR NXP (European II) Limited, KKR NXP (Millennium) Limited, KKR Associates Europe II Limited Partnership (the “KKR Entities”) at the time of the completion of the Public Offering, whether or not such Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or representing Ordinary Shares are held by the KKR Entities or are transferred, sold or otherwise not beneficially owned by the KKR Entities.]+

The undersigned understands that the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters.

This Agreement shall terminate when (i) the conditions set out in

Section 6 of the Underwriting Agreement have not been satisfied or waived by the relevant party by March 31, 2013; or (ii) the Underwriting Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 12 thereof.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

	Very truly yours,
