In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which you hereby acknowledged, NXP hereby confirms the employment of Employee on the following terms and conditions and, except to the extent specifically superseded by this Agreement, subject to all NXP policies and procedures regarding its employees:

1.Position. Subject to the terms and conditions below, NXP hereby confirms to have employed you, and you hereby confirm to have accepted such employment, as provided below. As of the Commencement Date (defined below), you serve as the Executive Vice President and General Counsel and report to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), currently Kurt Sievers. In this role, you are designated as a Member of the Management Team and shall perform such duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be assigned to you by the CEO of NXP.

2.Employment Scope. This Agreement sets the terms and conditions of the Employment of the Employee that began on September 1, 2018 (the “Commencement Date”) and shall continue through and until such time it is terminated pursuant to Section 4 below, or otherwise agreed in writing. Notwithstanding any term or provision in this Agreement, Employee’s employment with the Company or its affiliates is presently and shall remain solely at-will; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 8 through 9 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, for any reason.

and shall be paid in accordance with the same payroll schedule applicable to all executives of NXP USA Inc. The CEO, after approval of the Compensation Committee (“Compensation Cie.”) of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of NXP Semiconductors N.V., shall review annually whether any increase in the Base Salary shall be made. Although you shall be informed in writing of any salary increases awarded to you through this process, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require any such increases or at any specific periods of time.

b.Incentive Compensation. You are entitled to participate in NXP’s Executive Incentive program. The annual incentive targets will be set from year to year by the CEO, in consultation with the Compensation Cie. The gross at target annual incentive amount is currently 80% of your Base Salary. For incomplete calendar years the annual incentive will be prorated. The actual incentive payout will be based upon performance measures established for any given year and approved by the Compensation Cie. The current maximum annual incentive opportunity is equal to 200% of the at-target annual incentive opportunity. Because the maximum position- related annual incentives are fixed by the Compensation Cie., any changes in the incentive program related to your position introduced and approved by the Compensation Cie. shall automatically apply to the Agreement and will be deemed to form part thereof.

c.Employee Benefits. You shall continue to remain eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans, policies, and programs applicable to other NXP executives or officers, including NXP’s Long Term Incentive Plan(s). The terms and conditions of your participation in any NXP benefit plans, policies, or programs shall be governed by the terms of each such plan, policy, or program.

a.Termination by Employee. You may terminate employment with NXP at any time during the course of this Agreement by giving three (3) months’ notice in writing to the CEO of NXP, which notice may be waived in whole or in part, and without any obligation to pay, by the Company without affecting the voluntary nature of your resignation. During the notice period, or unless otherwise instructed in writing by the CEO of NXP, you must continue to fulfill all duties and responsibilities of your role with NXP. Your salary and benefits shall remain unchanged during the notice period

b.Termination by the Company with Notice. NXP may terminate your employment at any time during the course of this Agreement by giving you three (3) months’ notice in writing to you. NXP also may elect to provide payment in lieu of the notice requirement without affecting this provision. During the notice period, or unless otherwise instructed in writing by the CEO of NXP, you must continue to fulfill all duties and responsibilities of your role with NXP. Your salary and benefits will remain unchanged during the notice period unless NXP has already made payment in lieu of notice. This Agreement shall not require NXP to maintain you in active employment for any portion of the notice period.

(b) fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement or acts of similar dishonesty; (c) conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude or in any way relating to the business or activities of the Company or its affiliates; (d) indictment for, conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere (or similar plea) to a failure to contest prosecution for, or commission of any act which is a felony, or any act which is a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, fraud or misrepresentation or otherwise would have been reasonably likely to be detrimental to the business, reputation, character or standing of the Company or its affiliates or your ability to perform your job duties; (e) intentional and willful misconduct that may subject the Company to criminal or civil liability; (f) breach of your duty of loyalty, including the diversion or usurpation of corporate opportunities properly belonging to the Company; (g) willful disregard of Company policies and procedures; (h) breach of any of the material terms of this Agreement; and (i) insubordination or deliberate refusal to follow the instructions of the CEO of NXP.

d.Termination By Death or Disability. Your employment and rights to compensation under this Agreement shall terminate automatically if you are unable to perform the duties of your position due to death or disability lasting continuously more than 90 days, and your heirs, beneficiaries, successors, or assigns shall not be entitled to any of the compensation or benefits to which you may be entitled under this Agreement, except: (a) to

e.Severance Payment. If NXP terminates your employment for any reason other than that provided in Section 4(c) or 4(d) of this Agreement, and provided you fully execute and do not revoke a separation and general release agreement in a form satisfactory to NXP within 60 days following such termination of employment, then NXP will pay you a lump sum cash severance payment of one (1) year’s Base Salary, less any gross payments or benefits paid during the notice period above unless you have performed or will perform actual work during the notice period.

f.Change in Control. If your employment is terminated by NXP at any time and for any reason other than that provided in Section 4(c) of this Agreement, and without you being a Bad Leaver or by you for Good Reason (as defined in the NXP Omnibus Plan), in either case within twelve months following a Change of Control and (ii) you execute and deliver to NXP (and do not revoke) a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to NXP within sixty (60) days following such termination (or such shorter period as may be specified by NXP in accordance with applicable law), then the change of control (CoC) arrangement as approved from time to time by the Compensation Cie. will apply to you. As per the date hereof, the current CoC arrangement is attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement. Defined terms used in this paragraph have the same meaning as defined in the NXP Omnibus Plan.

g.Bonus Payout Upon Termination. In case of termination of your employment for any reason other than that provided in Section 4(a) or 4(c) of this Agreement or, by the Court on application of the Company, the Company will pay a pro rata payment of the bonus for the financial year in which, or shortly after which, your employment is terminated, provided that the conditions for bonus payout are met, which payment will be prorated for the period that you have performed actual work for the Company and whereby the pro rata bonus shall not be paid to you until the financial results for the relevant year have been determined. In all other situations in which the Agreement ends, no (pro rata) payment of the bonus will be considered and/or made. Without prejudice to the previous paragraph, if you have not performed actual work during the full financial year, any bonus paid (if conditions for bonus pay-out are met) shall be pro rata to the

5.Share Ownership Guidelines. During the term of your MT membership, you will be bound by the Executive Share Ownership Policy (the “EOP”), as approved by the Compensation Cie. As such, you will be required to own at any moment at least three times your base salary in NXP shares. As long as you have not met the three times base salary threshold, you need to retain 100% of the net shares received from LTI grants until the EOP is met. Shares counted towards the EOP are NXP shares directly or beneficially owned, and any unvested tie-based restricted stock units (RSUs). Further details are attached in Exhibit B to this Agreement.
