NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1:    Background and Basis of Presentation

ON Semiconductor Corporation, together with its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (“ON Semiconductor” or the “Company”), uses a thirteen-week fiscal quarter accounting period for the first three fiscal quarters of each year, with the second quarter of 2018 having ended on June 29, 2018, and each fiscal year ending on December 31. The quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 each contained 91 days. The six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 contained 180 and 181 days, respectively. During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the Company changed the name of one of its operating and reporting segments from Image Sensor Group to Intelligent Sensing Group. As of June 29, 2018, the Company was organized into the following three operating and reporting segments: the Power Solutions Group, the Analog Solutions Group and the Intelligent Sensing Group. Additional details on the Company’s operating and reporting segments are included in Note 2: “Revenue and Segment Information.”

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for unaudited interim financial information. Accordingly, the unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the interim information includes all adjustments, which includes normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The footnote disclosures related to the interim financial information included herein are also unaudited. Such financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018 (the “2017 Form 10-K”). Financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

Adoption of New Revenue Standard

On January 1, 2018, as required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), ASU No. 2015-14 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”), ASU No. 2016-08 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (“ASU 2016-08”), ASU No. 2016-10 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”), ASU No. 2016-12 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”) and ASU No. 2016-20 - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”) (collectively “the New Revenue Standard”). To conform to the New Revenue Standard, the Company modified its revenue recognition policy as described below.

Change in Accounting Policy

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the New Revenue Standard using the modified retrospective method, applying the guidance to all open contracts and recognized the cumulative effect adjustment of $2.1 million to retained earnings and accrued expenses as of that date. The comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be presented under the accounting standards in effect for the respective periods. The Company applied the practical expedient and has not disclosed the revenues allocated to future shipments of partially completed contracts.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues continue to be recognized following the transfer of control of the products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Under the New Revenue Standard, revenues from certain product development agreements, which were previously deferred as delivered, are now recognized over time.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

During the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, revenues increased by $1.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, due to the impact of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard.

Revenue Recognition Policy

In anticipation of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company developed its internal systems, processes and controls to enable it to make the estimates required by the New Revenue Standard on sales to its distributors and was able to reliably estimate upfront the effects of returns and allowances and record revenues at the time of shipments to these distributors. Prior to this, the Company recognized revenues from distributors under the sell-through method as it did not have the ability to estimate the effects of returns and allowances. As a result of this change, the Company recognized an additional $155.1 million in revenues during the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in an increase of $59.0 million to income before income taxes.

The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to OEMs, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. The Company also generates revenue, to a much lesser extent, from product development agreements and manufacturing services provided to customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. For sales agreements, the Company has identified the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the performance obligation. For product development agreements, the Company has identified the completion of a service defined in the agreement to be the performance obligation. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

Sales agreements with customers are renewable periodically and contain terms and conditions with respect to payment, delivery, warranty and supply, but typically do not require minimum purchase commitments. In the absence of a sales agreement, the Company’s standard terms and conditions apply. The Company considers the customer purchase orders, governed by sales agreements or the Company’s standard terms and conditions, to be the contract with the customer. The Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk).

Most of the Company’s OEM customers negotiate pricing terms on an annual basis, while the electronic manufacturer service providers and distributors generally negotiate pricing terms on a quarterly basis. Pricing terms on product development agreements are negotiated at the beginning of a project. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative stand-alone selling price.

In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company’s OEM customers do not have the right to return products, other than pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s standard warranty. Sales to distributors, however, are typically made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products, referred to as stock rotation. Sales to distributors can also be subject to price adjustment on certain products, primarily for distributors with ship and credit rights. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days. In addition, the Company offers cash discounts to certain customers for payments received within an agreed upon time, generally 10 days after shipment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue from sales agreements upon transferring control of a product to the customer. This typically occurs when products are shipped or delivered, depending on the delivery terms, or when products that are consigned at customer locations are consumed. The Company recognizes revenue from product development agreements over time based on the cost-to-cost method. Revenues recognized during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, for sales agreements was $1,447.9 million and $2,820.7 million, respectively, and for product development agreements was $8.0 million and $12.8 million, respectively. Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, ship and credit claims and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. For returns, the Company recognizes a related asset for the right to recover returned products with a corresponding reduction to cost of goods sold. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activity and records provisions, as necessary. The Company records a reserve for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on the experience with each customer.

Frequently, the Company receives orders with multiple delivery dates that may extend across reporting periods. Since each delivery constitutes a performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling price of the products. The Company invoices the customer for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes revenue in accordance with delivery terms. As scheduled delivery dates are within one year, revenue allocated to future shipments of partially completed contracts are not disclosed.

The Company has elected to record freight and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer as a fulfillment cost and include it in cost of revenues. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value-added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The Company generally warrants that products sold to its customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to specifications. The Company’s standard warranty extends for a period of two years from the date of delivery, except in the case of image sensor products, which are warrantied for one year from the date of delivery. At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with its sales and records them as a component of the cost of revenues.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases its estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) estimates of future payouts for customer incentives and estimates of amounts subject to allowances, returns and warranties; (ii) measurement of valuation allowances relating to inventories and trade receivables; (iii) future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, if applicable; (iv) assumptions surrounding future pension obligations; (v) fair values of share-based compensation and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); (vi) measurement of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, evaluations of uncertain tax positions and the impact of U.S. tax reform; and (vii) estimates and assumptions used in connection with business combinations. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Foreign Currencies

Most of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries conduct business primarily in U.S. dollars and, as a result, utilize the dollar as their functional currency. For the remeasurement of financial statements of these subsidiaries, assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are receivable or payable in cash are remeasured at current exchange rates, while inventories and other non-monetary assets in foreign currencies are remeasured at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of such financial statements are included in the operating results, as are gains and losses incurred on foreign currency transactions.

Historically, the majority of the Company’s Japanese subsidiaries utilized Japanese Yen as their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates in effect for the period. The related translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income or loss within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As a result of an analysis which took into account the economic indicators of these subsidiaries from a long-term perspective, the Company changed the functional currency for some of these subsidiaries from Japanese Yen to U.S. dollars effective as of January 1, 2018.

Note 2:    Revenue and Segment Information

The Company is organized into three operating and reporting segments consisting of the Power Solutions Group, the Analog Solutions Group and the Intelligent Sensing Group. Each of the Company’s major product lines has been examined and assigned to a reporting segment based on the Company’s operating strategy. Because many products are sold into different end-markets, the total revenues reported for a segment is not indicative of actual sales in the end-market associated with that segment, but rather is the sum of the revenues from the product lines assigned to that segment. These segments represent the Company’s view of the business and as such are used to evaluate progress of major initiatives and allocation of resources.

Revenues and gross profit for the Company’s operating and reporting segments were as follows (in millions):

	Power Solutions Group		Analog Solutions Group		Intelligent Sensing Group		Total
For the quarter ended June 29, 2018:
Revenues from external customers	$	748.2	$	513.2	$	194.5	$	1,455.9

Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASUs Adopted:

New Revenue Standard

The Company adopted the New Revenue Standard on a modified retrospective basis on January 1, 2018. The cumulative-effect adjustment related to the timing of revenue recognition on certain product development agreements recorded to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, was $2.1 million. The Company expects the ongoing impact of the New Revenue Standard to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-09 - Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”)

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 to reduce diversity in practice and provide clarity regarding existing guidance in ASC 718, “Stock Compensation.” The amendments clarify that an entity should apply modification accounting in response to a change in the terms and conditions of an entity’s share-based payment awards unless three newly specified criteria are met. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No 2017-07 - Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”)

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 primarily to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The guidance will require the net benefit cost to be split in the income statement. The service cost component will be included in operating income. The other components, including amortization of past service costs or credits and settlement and curtailments amounts, will be reported separately outside of operating income. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 during the first quarter of 2018, applying the standard retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the current period or prior period consolidated financial statements. See Note 6: “Balance Sheet Information” for further information on the adoption of ASU 2017-07.

ASU No. 2016-18 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-18”)

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires entities to include in their cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU does not define the terms “restricted cash” and “restricted cash equivalents.” The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 during the first quarter of 2018, applying the standard retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the current period or prior period consolidated financial statements. See Note 15: “Supplemental Disclosures” for further information on the adoption of ASU 2016-18.

ASU No. 2016-16 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”)

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, a reporting entity would recognize the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The income tax consequences from the sale of inventory from one member of a consolidated entity to another will continue to be deferred until the inventory is sold to a third party. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-15 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”)

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which changes how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASUs Pending Adoption:

ASU No. 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”)

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 to better align hedge accounting with risk management strategies, and as a result, more hedging strategies will be eligible for hedge accounting. Public business entities will have until the end of the first quarter in which a hedge is designated to perform an initial assessment of a hedge’s effectiveness. After initial qualification, the new guidance permits a qualitative effectiveness assessment for certain hedges instead of a quantitative test if the company can reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness throughout the term of the hedge. An initial quantitative test to establish that the hedge relationship is highly effective is still required. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the accounting treatment for leases. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will result in a significant component of the Company’s future minimum lease obligations as disclosed in Note 10: “Commitments and Contingencies” to be included on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is currently reviewing its service agreements and other arrangements to evaluate whether they meet the definition of a lease under ASU 2016-02 and what additional impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4:    Acquisitions, Divestitures and Licensing Transactions

Acquisition

On May 8, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of SensL Technologies Ltd. (“SensL”), a company specializing in Silicon Photomultipliers, Single Photon Avalanche Diode and LiDAR sensing products for the automotive, medical, industrial and consumer markets, for $71.4 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. As a result of the acquisition, SensL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price was funded with cash on hand. This acquisition positions the Company to extend its products in automotive sensing applications for ADAS and autonomous driving by adding LiDAR capabilities to the Company’s existing capabilities in imaging and radar.

The following table presents the provisional allocation of the purchase price of SensL for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values (in millions):

	Initial Estimate
Current assets (including cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million)	$	4.2
Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets		1.8
Goodwill		15.2
Intangible assets (excluding IPRD)		30.4
IPRD		25.0
Total assets acquired		76.6
Current liabilities		0.7
Other non-current liabilities		4.5
Total liabilities assumed		5.2
Net assets acquired/purchase price	$	71.4

Acquired intangible assets of $30.4 million include developed technology of $29.0 million (which are estimated to have a six year weighted-average useful life). The total weighted average amortization period for the acquired intangibles is six years.

IPRD assets are amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets upon successful completion of the related projects. The value assigned to IPRD was determined by estimating the net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting the net cash flows to their present value using a discount rate of 29.5%. The cash flows from IPRD’s significant products are expected to commence in the second half of 2018.

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

(unaudited)

The acquisition produced $15.2 million of goodwill, which was allocated to the Intelligent Sensing Group. The goodwill is attributable to a combination of SensL’s assembled workforce, expectations regarding a more meaningful engagement by the customers due to the scale of the combined company and other product and operating synergies. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present). Goodwill arising from the SensL acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

The initial estimated purchase price allocation is subject to change as the Company finalizes its determination relating to the valuation of net assets and finalizes key assumptions, approaches and judgments with respect to intangible assets acquired from SensL. Accordingly, future adjustments may impact the initial estimated amount of goodwill and other allocated amounts represented in the table above.

Divestiture

On June 25, 2018, the Company divested the transient voltage suppressing diodes business it acquired from Fairchild to TSC America, Inc. for $5.6 million in cash and recorded a gain of $4.6 million after writing off the carrying values of the assets and liabilities disposed. This gain has been presented as “Gain on divestiture of business” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018.

Licensing Transactions

During 2016 and 2017, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Huaian Imaging Device Manufacturer Corporation (“HIDM”) pursuant to which the Company received $52.5 million in cash in 2017 and provided perpetual, non-exclusive licenses relating to certain technologies to HIDM. Of this amount, $10.0 million was recorded as deferred licensing income to be recognized in the period in which certain qualification requirements of the technologies are achieved (or refunded to HIDM, if such qualification did not occur by June 21, 2018). During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the Company achieved such qualification requirements for the technologies transferred and recognized $10.0 million as licensing income.

On November 29, 2017, the Company and QST Co. Ltd (“QST”) entered into an IP license and technology transfer agreement (“IP Agreement”) to grant QST patent licenses and IP rights to certain of the Company’s technologies. Pursuant to the IP Agreement, QST receives perpetual, worldwide, nonexclusive and nontransferable patents licenses and IP rights upon the payment of license fees of $13.0 million and other fees of $8.5 million in its entirety. Such amounts were paid by QST between the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first and second quarters of 2018. As a result, the Company has recognized licensing income of $18.0 million during the quarter ended June 29, 2018. The remaining amounts were previously recognized as licensing income during 2017 and the quarter ended March 30, 2018.

Net balance as of June 29, 2018	$	928.8

During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $3.3 million, which represented the entire goodwill assigned to a reporting unit within the Power Solutions Group as a result of the licensing transaction with QST. See Note 4: “Acquisitions, Divestitures and Licensing Transactions” for more information.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances (each, a “triggering event”) would more likely than not reduce the carrying value of goodwill below its fair value. Management did not identify any triggering events through June 29, 2018 that would require an interim impairment analysis.

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company maintains defined benefit plans for certain of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company recognizes the aggregate amount of all overfunded plans as assets and the aggregate amount of all underfunded plans as liabilities in its financial statements. As of June 29, 2018, the total accrued pension liability for underfunded plans was $110.4 million, of which the current portion of $0.3 million was classified as accrued expenses. As of December 31, 2017, the total accrued pension liability for underfunded plans was $109.3 million, of which the current portion of $0.2 million was classified as accrued expenses.

The components of the Company’s net periodic pension expense are as follows (in millions):

With the retrospective adoption of ASU 2017-07, the service cost component is included in operating income while the other components, including the interest cost and the expected return on plan assets, are reported separately outside of operating income. The Company utilized the practical expedient to estimate the amounts for the comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2017 Form 10-K. The service cost is allocated between the cost of revenues, research and development, selling and marketing and general and administrative line items, while the other components are included in other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement

On May 31, 2018, the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2016, as amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016, the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2017, and the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with the several lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as the administrative agent (the “Agent”).

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be incurred in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or any other currency approved by the Agent and the lenders under a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), subject to certain qualifications described in the Credit Agreement. Regardless of currency, all borrowings under the Credit Agreement, may, at the Company’s option, be incurred as either eurocurrency loans (“Eurocurrency Loans”) or alternate base rate loans (“ABR Loans”).

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, for any interest period ending after the date of the Fourth Amendment, Eurocurrency Loans will accrue interest at (i) a base rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus (ii) an applicable margin equal to (x) 1.25% with respect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (with step-downs and step-ups as set forth in the Credit Agreement) or (y) 1.75% with respect to borrowings under a $2.4 billion term loan “B” facility (the “Term Loan “B” Facility”).

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, ABR Loans will accrue interest at (i) a base rate per annum equal to the highest of (x) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (y) the prime commercial lending rate announced by the Agent from time to time as its prime lending rate and (z) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month interest period (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) (determined after giving effect to any applicable “floor”) plus 1.00%; provided that, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to the interest rate floors set forth in the Credit Agreement, plus (ii) an applicable margin equal to (x) 0.25% with respect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (with step downs and step-ups as set forth in the Credit Agreement) or (y) 0.75% with respect to borrowings under the Term Loan “B” Facility.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, including a pledge of the equity interests in certain of the Company’s domestic and first tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are also collateralized by mortgage on certain real property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement includes financial maintenance covenants, including, among others, a maximum total net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. It also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of June 29, 2018.

Debt Refinancing and Prepayment

The Company incurred third party, legal and other fees of $1.1 million related to the Fourth Amendment. The Company performed an analysis and recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $2.6 million, which included a write-off of $1.5 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and $1.1 million in third party fees, as previously mentioned.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the Company prepaid $50.0 million of borrowings under the Term Loan “B” Facility and expensed $1.4 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs attributed to the partial pay-down, as loss on debt refinancing and prepayment.

1.00% Notes due 2020

On June 8, 2015, the Company completed a private placement of $690.0 million of its 1.00% Notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The 1.00% Notes are governed by an indenture between the Company, as the issuer, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “1.00% Indenture”). The 1.00% Notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 54.0643 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $18.50 per share of common stock. The Company will settle conversion of all 1.00% Notes validly tendered for conversion in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares to be determined by the Company. Holders may convert their 1.00% Notes only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2015, if the last reported sale price of common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 1.00% Notes for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (iii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the 1.00% Indenture; or (iv) on and after September 1, 2020 (each considered a “trigger”). Upon conversion of the 1.00% Notes, the Company will deliver cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election.

As previously experienced during the quarter ended March 30, 2018, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on June 30, 2018 was greater than or equal to $24.05 (130% of the conversion price) on each applicable trading day. As a result, the Company recorded the outstanding balance, net of discount, of $630.7 million of the 1.00% Notes as a current portion of long-term debt as of June 29, 2018, and as required by the 1.00% Indenture, gave notice to the trustee, the conversion agent and each holder on June 29, 2018 that each holder has the right to surrender any portion of its 1.00% Notes (in minimum denominations of $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) for conversion during the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2018 (and only during such calendar quarter unless the trigger remains) pursuant to the terms of the 1.00% Indenture.

Note Payable to SMBC

On January 31, 2013, the Company amended and restated its seven-year, non-collateralized loan obligation with SANYO Electric. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the loan agreement, SANYO Electric assigned all of its rights under the loan agreement to SMBC. The loan had an original principal amount of approximately $377.5 million and had a principal balance of $122.7 million as of December 31, 2017. The entire balance was repaid on the due date of January 2, 2018.

Note 8: Earnings Per Share and Equity

Earnings Per Share

Calculations of net income per common share attributable to ON Semiconductor are as follows (in millions, except per share data):

	Quarters Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2018		June 30, 2017		June 29, 2018		June 30, 2017
Net income attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation	$	155.3	$	93.9	$	294.9	$	172.1
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding		427.0		420.8		426.5		420.4
Dilutive effect of share-based awards		4.6		5.1		5.2		5.6
Dilutive effect of convertible notes		12.7		—		12.7		—
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding		444.3		425.9		444.4		426.0
Net income per common share attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation:
Basic	$	0.36	$	0.22	$	0.69	$	0.41
Diluted	$	0.35	$	0.22	$	0.66	$	0.40

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and assumed issuance of shares relating to RSUs is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. Share-based awards whose impact is considered to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation. The excluded number of anti-dilutive shares subject to share-based awards was zero for the quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 and 0.3 million and 0.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

The dilutive impact related to the Company’s 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes is determined in accordance with the net share settlement requirements prescribed by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Under the net share settlement calculation, the Company’s convertible notes are assumed to be convertible into cash up to the par value, with the excess of par value being

22

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

(unaudited)

convertible into common stock. A dilutive effect occurs when the stock price exceeds the conversion price for each series of the convertible notes. During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the average share price exceeded the conversion price for both the 1.00% Notes and the 1.625% Notes and the impact of the excess over par value is included in calculating the dilutive effect of the convertible notes. In periods when the share price is lower than the conversion price, the impact is anti-dilutive and therefore has no impact on the Company’s earnings per share calculations. Additionally, if the average price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $25.96 per share, with respect to the 1.00% Notes, or $30.70 per share, with respect to the 1.625% Notes, for a reporting period, the Company will also include the effect of the additional potential shares, using the treasury stock method, that may be issued related to the warrants that were issued concurrently with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes, respectively. Prior to conversion, the convertible note hedges are not considered for purposes of the earnings per share calculations, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Upon conversion, the convertible note hedges are expected to offset the dilutive effect of the 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes, respectively, when the stock price is above $18.50 per share, with respect to the 1.00% Notes, and $20.72 per share, with respect to the 1.625% Notes.

Equity

Share Repurchase Program

During the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company repurchased common stock worth approximately $40.0 million under the share repurchase program. There were zero and $25.0 million of repurchases of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $1.0 billion (exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses) of the Company’s common stock over a period of four years from December 1, 2014, subject to certain contingencies. The Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, or by any combination of such methods or other methods. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under the Company’s debt obligations and other market and economic conditions. The share repurchase program does not require the Company to purchase any particular amount of common stock and is subject to the board’s discretion. As of June 29, 2018, $563.2 million remained of the total authorized amount to repurchase common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program.

Information relating to the Company’s share repurchase program during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

	Quarter Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2018		June 29, 2018

Shares for Restricted Stock Units Tax Withholding

Treasury stock is recorded at cost and is presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Shares with a fair market value equal to the applicable statutory minimum amount of the employee withholding taxes due are withheld by the Company upon the vesting of RSUs to pay the applicable statutory minimum amount of employee withholding taxes and are considered common stock repurchases. The Company then pays the applicable statutory minimum amount of withholding taxes in cash. The amount remitted for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018 was $1.1 million and $19.9 million, respectively, for which the Company withheld approximately 0.1 million and 0.8 million shares of common stock, respectively, that were underlying the RSUs that vested. The amount remitted for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively, for which the Company withheld approximately 0.1 million and 0.9 million shares of common stock, respectively, that were underlying the RSUs that vested. None of these shares had been reissued or retired as of June 29, 2018, but may be reissued or retired by the Company at a later date. These repurchases do not count against the Company’s share repurchase program.

Non-Controlling Interest

The Company’s entity, which operates assembly and test operations in Leshan, China is owned by Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited, a joint venture company in which the Company owns a majority of the outstanding equity interests (“Leshan”). The Company owns 80% of the outstanding equity interests in Leshan and its investment in Leshan has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

At December 31, 2017, the non-controlling interest balance was $22.2 million. This balance increased to $24.1 million as of June 29, 2018, resulting from the non-controlling interest’s $1.9 million share of the earnings for the six months ended June 29, 2018.

Subsequent to the third closing date of Aizu Fujitsu Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited (“AFSM”), the Company will consolidate the results of AFSM and the non-controlling interest held by the minority shareholder will be initially recognized at fair value. See Note 11: “Fair Value Measurements” for further information about the investment in AFSM.

Note 9: Share-Based Compensation

Total share-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock options, RSUs, stock grant awards and ESPP were recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as follows (in millions):

⁽¹⁾ Tax benefit was calculated using the federal statutory rate of 21% and 35% for the quarters and six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

At June 29, 2018, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested RSUs with time-based service conditions and performance-based vesting criteria was $112.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.76 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018 was $1.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The Company received cash of $0.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018 from the exercise of stock options. Upon option exercise, vesting of RSUs, stock grant awards or completion of a purchase under the ESPP, the Company issues new shares of common stock.

Share-based compensation expense is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The annualized pre-vesting forfeiture rate for stock options was estimated to be 11% during the quarters and six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017. The annualized pre-vesting forfeiture rate for RSUs was estimated to be 5% during the quarters and six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

Shares Available

As of June 29, 2018, there was an aggregate of 35.0 million shares of common stock available for grant under the Amended and Restated SIP and 7.6 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP. As of December 31, 2017, there was an aggregate of 39.0 million shares of common stock available for grant under the Company’s Amended and Restated SIP and 8.0 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

Stock Options

The number of options outstanding at December 31, 2017 was 1.1 million at a weighted average exercise price of $6.95 per option, of which 0.6 million options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $7.01 per option during the six months ended June 29, 2018. The number of options outstanding at June 29, 2018 was 0.5 million at a weighted average exercise price of $6.87 per option. All outstanding options had exercise prices below $22.24 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock at June 29, 2018.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs generally vest over three years with service-based requirements or performance-based requirements or a combination of service-based and performance-based requirements and are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. A summary of the RSU transactions for the six months ended June 29, 2018 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Environmental Contingencies

The Company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona are located on property that is a “Superfund” site, which is a property listed on the National Priorities List and subject to clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). Motorola and Freescale (acquired by NXP Semiconductors N.V.) have been involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of the Company’s separation from Motorola in 1999, Motorola retained responsibility for this contamination, and Motorola and Freescale have agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter.

The Company’s former front-end manufacturing location in Aizu, Japan is located on property where soil and ground water contamination was detected. The Company believes that the contamination originally occurred during a time when the facility was operated by a prior owner. The Company worked with local authorities to implement a remediation plan and has completed remaining remediation. The majority of the cost of remediation was covered by insurance. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

The Company’s manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic has ongoing remediation projects to respond to releases of hazardous substances that occurred during the years that this facility was operated by government-owned entities. The remediation projects consist primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded. The government of the Czech Republic has agreed to indemnify the Company and its respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

The Company’s design center in East Greenwich, Rhode Island is located on property that has localized soil contamination. In connection with the purchase of the facility, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Covenant Not to Sue with the State of Rhode Island. This agreement requires that remedial actions be undertaken and a quarterly groundwater monitoring program be initiated by the former owners of the property. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

As a result of the acquisition of AMIS in 2008, the Company is a “primary responsible party” to an environmental remediation and cleanup at AMIS’s former corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California. Costs incurred by AMIS include implementation of the clean-up plan, operations and maintenance of remediation systems, and other project management costs. However, AMIS’s former parent company, a subsidiary of Nippon Mining, contractually agreed to indemnify AMIS and the Company for any obligations relating to environmental remediation and cleanup at this location. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

Through its acquisition of Fairchild, the Company acquired a facility in South Portland, Maine. This facility has ongoing environmental remediation projects to respond to certain releases of hazardous substances that occurred prior to the leveraged recapitalization of Fairchild from its former parent company, National Semiconductor Corporation, which is now owned by Texas Instruments, Inc. Although the Company may incur certain liabilities with respect to these remediation projects, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement entered into in connection with the Fairchild recapitalization, National Semiconductor Corporation agreed to indemnify Fairchild, without limitation and for an indefinite period of time, for all future costs related to these projects. Under a 1999 asset purchase agreement pursuant to which Fairchild purchased the power device business of Samsung, Samsung agreed to indemnify Fairchild in an amount up to $150.0 million for remediation costs and other liabilities related to historical contamination at Samsung’s Bucheon, South Korea operations. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

Under a 2001 asset purchase agreement pursuant to which Fairchild purchased a manufacturing facility in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, Intersil Corp. (acquired by Renesas Electronics Corporation) agreed to indemnify Fairchild for remediation costs and other liabilities related to historical contamination at the facility. Any costs to the Company incurred to respond to the above conditions and projects have not been, and are not expected to be, material, and any future payments the Company makes in connection with such liabilities are not expected to be material.

The Company was notified by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) under CERCLA in the Chemetco Superfund matter. Chemetco, a defunct reclamation services supplier that operated in Illinois at what is now a Superfund site, has performed reclamation services for the Company in the past. The EPA is pursuing Chemetco customers for contribution to the site cleanup activities. The Company has joined a PRP group which is cooperating with the EPA in the evaluation and funding of the cleanup. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

Financing Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to certain parties initiated by either the Company or its subsidiaries, as required for transactions such as, but not limited to, material purchase commitments, agreements to mitigate collection risk, leases, utilities or customs guarantees. As of June 29, 2018, the Revolving Credit Facility included $15.0 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. There were $0.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 29, 2018, which reduces the Company’s borrowing capacity. The Company also had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit outside of its Revolving Credit Facility totaling $6.1 million as of June 29, 2018.

As part of obtaining financing in the ordinary course of business, the Company has issued guarantees related to certain of its subsidiaries’ capital lease obligations, equipment financing, lines of credit and real estate mortgages, which totaled $104.4 million as of June 29, 2018.

Based on historical experience and information currently available, the Company believes that it will not be required to make payments under the standby letters of credit or guarantee arrangements for the foreseeable future.

Indemnification Contingencies

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by the Company require it to indemnify the other party against losses due to IP infringement, property damage (including environmental contamination), personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, the Company’s negligence or willful misconduct or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.

The Company faces risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that its products fail to perform as expected or such failure of its products results, or is alleged to result, in economic damage, bodily injury or property damage. In addition, if any of the Company’s designed products are alleged to be defective, the Company may be required to participate in their recall. Depending on the significance of any particular customer and other relevant factors, the Company may agree to provide more favorable rights to such customer for valid defective product claims.

The Company and its subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability company operating agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the DGCL are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Exchange Act. As permitted by the DGCL, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), contains provisions relating to the limitation of liability and indemnification of directors and officers. The Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of each of the Company’s directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, as it may be amended or supplemented, and provides that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. The form of agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) provides, subject to certain exceptions and conditions specified in the Indemnification Agreement, that the Company will indemnify each indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with a proceeding or claim in which such person is involved because of his or her status as one of the Company’s directors or executive officers. In addition, the Indemnification Agreement provides that the Company will, to the extent not prohibited by law and subject to certain exceptions and repayment conditions, advance specified indemnifiable expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such proceeding or claim. The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 25, 2016 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company also maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Exchange Act, that might be incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such.

The agreement and plan of merger relating to the acquisition of Fairchild (the “Fairchild Agreement”) provides for indemnification and insurance rights in favor of Fairchild’s then current and former directors, officers and employees. Specifically, the Company has agreed that, for no fewer than six years following the Fairchild acquisition, the Company will: (a) indemnify and hold harmless each such indemnitee against losses and expenses (including advancement of attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any proceeding asserted against the indemnified party in connection with such person’s servings as a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of Fairchild or its subsidiaries prior to the effective time of the acquisition;

(unaudited)

(b) maintain in effect all provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries or any other agreements of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries with any indemnified party regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses in existence on the date of the Fairchild Agreement for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition; and (c) subject to certain qualifications, provide to Fairchild’s then current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition that is no less favorable than Fairchild’s then-existing policy, or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage.

While the Company’s future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not believe that any amounts that it may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including indemnification claims, claims of alleged infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, claims of alleged non-compliance with contract provisions and claims related to alleged violations of laws and regulations. The Company regularly evaluates the status of the legal proceedings in which it is involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or an additional loss, may have been incurred and determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, the Company further evaluates each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of possible loss can be made for disclosure. Although litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes that it has adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the resolution of a legal proceeding. The Company’s estimates do not represent its maximum exposure. Legal expenses related to defense, negotiations, settlements, rulings and advice of outside legal counsel are expensed as incurred.

The Company is currently involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, except as disclosed below, the Company is not involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings that it believes could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. The litigation process and the administrative process at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) are inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of these matters will be favorable to it.

Patent Litigation with Power Integrations, Inc.

There are eight outstanding civil litigation proceedings with Power Integrations, Inc. (“PI”), five of which were pending between PI and various Fairchild entities (including Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, and Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation, f/k/a System General Corporation (collectively referred to in this sub-section as “Fairchild”)), prior to the acquisition of Fairchild. The Company is vigorously defending the lawsuits filed by PI and believes that it has strong defenses. There are also over two dozen outstanding administrative proceedings between the parties at the USPTO in which each party is challenging the validity of the other party’s patents.

The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Any estimate or statement regarding any reserve or the estimated range of possible losses is made solely in compliance with applicable GAAP requirements and is not a statement or admission that the Company is or should be liable in any amount, or that any arguments, motions or appeals before any Court

lack merit or are subject to impeachment. To the contrary, the Company believes that it has significant and meritorious grounds for judgment in its favor with respect to all of the PI cases and that the Company’s appeals or motions currently pending at the district court level will significantly reduce or eliminate all prior adverse jury verdicts. Subject to the foregoing, as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company estimates its range of possible losses for all PI cases to be between approximately $4.0 million and $20.0 million in the aggregate.

Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al. (October 20, 2004, Delaware, 1:04-cv-01371-LPS): PI filed this lawsuit in 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Fairchild, alleging that certain of Fairchild’s pulse width modulation (“PWM”) integrated circuit products infringed U.S. patents owned by PI. The lawsuit sought a permanent injunction as well as money damages for Fairchild’s alleged infringement. In October 2006, a jury returned a willful infringement verdict and assessed damages against Fairchild. Fairchild voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of those products in 2007 and has been offering replacement products since 2006. In December 2008, the judge overseeing the case reduced the jury’s 2006 damages award from $34.0 million to approximately $6.1 million and ordered a new trial on the issue of willfulness. Following the new trial held in June 2009, the court found Fairchild’s infringement to have been willful, and in January 2011 the court awarded PI final damages in the amount of $12.2 million. Fairchild appealed the final damages award, willfulness finding, and other issues to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In March 2013, the Court of Appeals vacated substantially all of the damages award, ruling that there was no basis upon which a reasonable jury could find Fairchild liable for induced infringement. The Court of Appeals also vacated the earlier judgment of willful patent infringement. The full Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States later denied PI’s request to review the Court of Appeals ruling. The Court of Appeals instructed the lower court to conduct further proceedings to determine damages based on approximately $750,000 worth of sales and imports of affected products and to re-assess its finding that the infringement was willful. In December 2017, the lower court reinstated the willfulness finding but has since stayed resolution of the other outstanding issues, including damages. In June 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States decided WesternGeco LLC v. ION Geophysical Corp., in which the Court determined that certain extraterritorial conduct may be relevant to some United States patent litigation. The lower court in this proceeding is in the process of determining whether WesternGeco has any impact on this case and the next steps in the litigation.

Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al. (May 23, 2008, Delaware, 1:08-cv-00309-LPS): This lawsuit was initiated by PI in 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Fairchild, alleging that certain other PWM products infringed several U.S. patents owned by PI. On October 14, 2008, Fairchild filed a patent infringement lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PI products infringed U.S. patents owned by Fairchild. Each lawsuit included claims for money damages and a request for a permanent injunction. These two lawsuits were consolidated and heard together in a jury trial in April 2012 during which the jury found that PI infringed one of the two U.S. patents owned by Fairchild and upheld the validity of both of the Fairchild patents. In the same verdict, the jury found that Fairchild infringed two of four U.S. patents asserted by PI and that Fairchild had induced its customers to infringe the asserted patents. (The court later ruled that Fairchild infringed one other asserted PI patent that the jury found was not infringed.) The jury also upheld the validity of the asserted PI patents, and the court entered a permanent injunction against Fairchild. Willfulness and damages were not considered in the April 2012 trial but were reserved for subsequent proceedings. Fairchild and PI appealed the liability phase of this litigation to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which heard arguments in July 2016 and issued a decision in December 2016. In the decision, the appeals court vacated the jury’s finding that Fairchild induced infringement of PI’s patents, held that one of PI’s patents was invalid, vacated the permanent injunction against Fairchild, reversed the jury’s finding that PI infringed the Fairchild patent and remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with these rulings. The Company is preparing for a trial, currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2018, at which willfulness, inducement and money damages are expected to be addressed.

Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. (November 4, 2009, Northern District of California, 3:09-cv-05235-MMC): In 2009, PI sued Fairchild in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that several of Fairchild’s products infringe three of PI’s patents. Fairchild filed counterclaims asserting that PI infringed two Fairchild

(unaudited)

patents. During the initial trial on this matter in 2014, a jury found that Fairchild willfully infringed two PI patents, awarded PI $105.0 million in damages and found that PI did not infringe any Fairchild patent. In September 2014, the court granted a motion filed by Fairchild that sought to set aside the jury’s determination that it acted willfully, and held that, as a matter of law, Fairchild’s actions were not willful. In November 2014, in response to another post-trial motion filed by Fairchild, the trial court ruled that the jury lacked sufficient evidence on which to base its damages award and, consequently, vacated the $105.0 million verdict and ordered a second trial on damages. The second damages trial was held in December 2015, in which a jury awarded PI $139.8 million in damages. Fairchild filed a number of post-trial motions challenging the second damages verdict, but the court ruled against Fairchild on these motions and awarded PI approximately $7.0 million in pre-judgment interest. Following the court’s rulings on these issues, PI moved the court to reinstate the jury’s willfulness finding and sought enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees. On January 23, 2017, the court reinstated the jury’s willful infringement finding but denied PI’s motion for enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees in its entirety. The Company appealed the infringement and damages judgments, and in July 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the judgment with respect to infringement of both PI patents but vacated the damages judgment because PI had presented legally insufficient evidence to support its damages claim. The appellate court thus remanded the case back to the lower court for a new trial on damages. All claims of the two PI patents found to be infringed by Fairchild have since been determined to be unpatentable in several inter partes review administrative proceedings described below. The impact of the USPTO’s unpatentability determinations on the district court judgment is uncertain at this stage of the proceedings.

Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. v. Power Integrations (May 1, 2012, Delaware, 1:12-cv-00540-LPS): In May 2012, Fairchild sued PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and alleged that various PI products infringe Fairchild’s U.S. patents. PI filed counterclaims of patent infringement against Fairchild, asserting five PI patents. Of those five patents, the court granted Fairchild summary judgment of no infringement on one, and PI voluntarily withdrew a second and was forced to remove a third patent during the trial, which began in May 2015. In that trial, the jury found that PI induced infringement of Fairchild’s patent rights and awarded Fairchild $2.4 million in damages. The same jury found that Fairchild infringed a PI patent and awarded PI damages of $100,000. Based on the December 2016 appellate court decision in the litigation filed in Delaware in 2008 (described above), on July 13, 2017, the District Court vacated the jury’s finding that PI infringed Fairchild’s patent. The court has tentatively scheduled a trial for November 2018 to resolve minor outstanding issues before final judgment can be entered.

Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. (October 21, 2015, Northern District of California, 3:15-cv-04854 MMC): In 2015, PI filed another complaint for patent infringement against Fairchild in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging Fairchild’s products willfully infringe two PI patents. In the complaint, PI is seeking a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. Fairchild answered and counterclaimed, alleging infringement by PI of four Fairchild patents related to aspects of PI’s products, and also seeking damages and a permanent injunction. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages, and has been stayed pending the outcome of the Company’s administrative challenges, which are described below, to the two PI patents asserted against Fairchild. PI has also filed administrative challenges to Fairchild’s asserted patents.

Power Integrations v. ON Semiconductor Corporation, and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (November 1, 2016, Northern District of California, 5:16-cv-06371-BLF and 5:17-cv-03189): On August 11, 2016, ON Semiconductor Corporation and SCILLC (collectively referred to in this sub-section as “ON Semi”) filed a lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, alleging that PI infringed six patents and seeking a permanent injunction and money damages for the alleged infringement. The lawsuit also sought a claim for a declaratory judgment that ON Semi does not infringe several of PI’s patents. Rather than responding to ON Semi’s lawsuit in Arizona, PI filed a separate lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in November 2016, alleging that ON Semi infringes six PI patents, including two of the three PI patents in ON Semi’s declaratory judgment claims from Arizona. PI also moved the Arizona court to dismiss ON Semi’s lawsuit, or in the alternative to transfer the lawsuit to California. Following various procedural motions, ON Semi’s Arizona action has been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and consolidated with PI’s November 2016 lawsuit, in which PI has subsequently asserted a claim for infringement on the last of the three PI patents in ON Semi’s original declaratory judgment claims. The lawsuit is in its early stages, but the parties have begun to engage in discovery.

ON Semiconductor Corporation and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC v. Power Integrations, Inc. (March 9, 2017, District of Delaware, 1:17-cv-00247-LPS-CJB): On March 9, 2017, ON Semi filed a lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that PI’s InnoSwitch family of products infringe six of ON Semi’s U.S. patents. Following some procedural motions, PI has since counterclaimed alleging infringement by ON Semi of seven of PI’s U.S. Patents. Both parties seek money damages and a permanent injunction. The lawsuit is in its early stages, but the parties have begun to engage in discovery.

Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC v. Power Integrations, Inc. (November 2017, Taiwan Intellectual Property Court, 106-Ming-min-bu-Tzu-238): In November 2017, Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC filed a lawsuit against PI in Taiwan alleging infringement by PI of certain of ON Semi’s Taiwanese patents. The lawsuit is in its early stages.

Administrative Challenges to PI’s Patents

In addition to the eight court proceedings described above, there are presently numerous inter partes review administrative proceedings between PI and ON Semi/Fairchild. Each of these administrative proceedings seeks to invalidate certain claims asserted in the various court proceedings. For the two proceedings filed by ON Semi involving claims asserted in the case filed in 2009 in the Northern District of California, the USPTO has issued a Final Written Decision finding that all of the claims challenged in those proceedings are unpatentable, and PI filed a notice of appeal for those decisions. The USPTO has also issued Final Written Decisions in seven additional proceedings in ON Semiconductor’s favor, and PI’s appeals in those cases are ongoing. In five of the proceedings initiated by PI, the USPTO has instituted a review of five ON Semi/Fairchild patents that are being asserted against PI, but the USPTO has not rendered a Final Written Decision in any of those five cases. All of the other proceedings remain pending or were terminated without substantive review by the USPTO.

Litigation with Acbel Polytech, Inc.

On November 27, 2013, Fairchild and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation were named as defendants in a complaint filed by Acbel Polytech, Inc. (“Acbel”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleged a number of causes of action, including breach of warranty, fraud, negligence and strict liability, and has been docketed as Acbel Polytech, Inc. v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al, Case # 1:13-CV-13046-DJC. On December 10, 2016, the Court issued an order on the Company’s motion for summary judgment dismissing all of Acbel’s claims except for claims alleging breach of implied warranties. A bench trial was held in June 2017. On December 27, 2017, the Court rendered a verdict in favor of the Fairchild defendants on the remaining implied warranty claims. On January 24, 2018, Acbel filed a notice of appeal. On February 7, 2018, Fairchild filed notice of a cross appeal. Acbel filed its appeal brief on April 9, 2018, and Fairchild filed its brief on May 29, 2018.

Intellectual Property Matters

The Company faces risk to exposure from claims of infringement of the IP rights of others. In the ordinary course of business, the Company receives letters asserting that the Company’s products or components breach another party’s rights. Such letters may request royalty payments from the Company, that the Company cease and desist using certain intellectual property or other remedies.

During the quarter ended March 30, 2018, the Company reduced the contingent consideration payable relating to the second earn-out for the AXSEM acquisition to zero due to a revision in the Company’s expectations regarding the likelihood that the earn-out would be achieved. The gain was recorded in other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The carrying amounts of other current assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt, Including Current Portion

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings (excluding capital lease obligations, real estate mortgages and equipment financing) are as follows (in millions):

	As of
	June 29, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

(unaudited)

The fair values of the Company’s 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes were estimated based on market prices in active markets (Level 1). The fair value of other long-term debt was estimated based on discounting the remaining principal and interest payments using current market rates for similar debt (Level 2) at June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Cost and Equity Method Investments

The Company accounts for investments in companies that it does not control, or have significant influence over, under the cost method, as applicable. If a decline in the fair value of a cost method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded, and the carrying value of the cost method investment is reduced to fair value. The Company evaluates all of its cost method investments for impairment; however, it is not required to determine the fair value of its investment unless impairment indicators are present.

The Company’s cost method investments had a carrying value of $7.4 million and $12.6 million as of June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

On April 1, 2018 (the “second closing date”), the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 30 percent incremental interest in AFSM for $19.8 million in cash, resulting in a 40 percent ownership interest with an aggregate investment value of $26.2 million. The Company’s investment in AFSM, which was accounted for under the cost method through the quarter ended March 30, 2018, has been accounted for under the equity method beginning April 1, 2018 following the increase in the Company’s investment. Subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, the Company will be required to increase its ownership interest to 60 percent between one and six months following the second closing date (the “third closing date”) and will be required to increase its ownership interest to 100 percent between nine and 18 months following the third closing date.

AFSM, a related party beginning in the quarter ended June 29, 2018, operates a front-end fabrication facility in Aizu-Wakamatsu that manufactures 8-inch wafers based on design specification from its customers, which are primarily the Company and another investor. During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the Company purchased inventory of approximately $7.3 million and has a payable of $1.6 million to AFSM as of June 29, 2018.

Note 12: Financial Instruments

Foreign Currencies

As a multinational business, the Company’s transactions are denominated in a variety of currencies. When appropriate, the Company uses forward foreign currency contracts to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on its results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s policy prohibits trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures and entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.

The Company primarily hedges existing assets and liabilities associated with transactions currently on its balance sheet, which are undesignated hedges for accounting purposes.

As of June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts of $86.4 million and $130.5 million, respectively. Such contracts were obtained through financial institutions and were scheduled to mature within one to three months from the time of purchase. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to increased risks from foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should offset losses and gains on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions to which they are related.

Amounts receivable or payable under the contracts are included in other current assets or accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions totaled a $2.2 million loss and a $0.1 million gain, respectively. For the six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions totaled a $6.6 million loss and a $2.8 million loss, respectively. The realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions are included in other income and expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Cash Flow Hedges

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value and classified based on the instrument’s maturity date.

Interest rate risk

The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with the Term Loan “B” Facility. The Company does not use such swap contracts for speculative or trading purposes. These contracts effectively hedge some of the future variable rate LIBOR interest expense to a fixed rate interest expense. The derivative instruments qualified for accounting as a cash flow hedge in accordance with ASC 815, and the Company designated it as such. The Company performed effectiveness assessments and concluded that there is no ineffectiveness during the quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

Foreign currency risk

The purpose of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from transactions in foreign currencies will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The Company enters into forward contracts that are designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges of selected forecasted payments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

For the quarters and six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Company did not have outstanding derivatives for its foreign currency exposure designated as cash flow hedges.

Convertible Note Hedges

The Company entered into convertible note hedges in connection with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes.

Other

At June 29, 2018, the Company had no outstanding commodity derivatives, currency swaps or options relating to either its debt instruments or investments. The Company does not hedge the value of its equity investments in its subsidiaries or affiliated companies. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if counterparties to hedge contracts fail to perform their obligations. As of June 29, 2018, the counterparties to the Company’s hedge contracts are held at financial institutions which the Company believes to be highly rated, and no credit-related losses are anticipated.

Note 13: Income Taxes

The Company has historically determined its interim income tax provision by applying the estimated effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year to the income before income taxes for the period. In determining the full year estimate, the Company does not include the estimated impact of unusual and/or infrequent items, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and income before income taxes. Significant judgment is exercised in determining the income tax provision due to transactions, credits and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 29, 2018, was 19.2%, which differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% principally due to discrete benefits of $8.9 million relating to the release of reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in the U.S. and foreign taxing jurisdictions related to prior years and $2.8 million relating to the release of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets expected to be realized in the foreseeable future. These benefits are partially offset by foreign taxes for which the Company will not receive a U.S. tax credit as a result of U.S. tax reform and the Company’s U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 29, 2018 was 15.3%, which differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% principally due to discrete benefits of $8.9 million relating to the release of reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in the U.S. and foreign taxing jurisdictions related to prior years, $19.9 million relating to an increase in deferred tax assets and release of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets expected to be realized in the foreseeable future and $7.1 million relating to equity award excess tax benefits. These benefits are partially offset by foreign taxes for which the Company will not receive a U.S. tax credit as a result of U.S. tax reform and the Company’s U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards.

In December 2017 the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), which allows the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. As of June 29, 2018, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Tax Act; however, in certain cases, specifically as follows, the Company made a reasonable estimate of (i) the effects on its existing deferred tax balances and (ii) the effects of the one-time mandatory repatriation tax. The Company recognized a provisional tax benefit of $449.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2017, associated with the items it could reasonably estimate. For the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, there have not been any adjustments made to these estimates. The Company is still analyzing the Tax Act and refining its calculations, which could potentially impact the measurement of its tax balances. The Company expects to complete its analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118.

At June 29, 2018, the Company was not able to reasonably estimate, and therefore has not recorded, deferred taxes for the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Act. The Company has not yet determined its policy election with respect to whether to record deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse as a result of the GILTI provisions in future periods or use the period cost method. The Company has, however, included an estimate of the current impact of GILTI in its tax provision for 2018.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company had approximately $4.0 million and $5.0 million of net interest and penalties accrued at June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Although the Company cannot predict the timing of resolution with taxing authorities, if any, it believes it is reasonably possible that $7.5 million of its unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced in the next 12 months due to settlement with tax authorities or expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Tax years 2013 and prior are generally not subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Services (the “IRS”) except for items involving tax attributes that have been carried forward to tax years whose statute of limitations remains open. The Company is not currently under IRS examination. For state tax returns, the Company is generally not subject to income tax examinations for years 2012 and prior. The Company is also subject to routine examinations by various foreign tax jurisdictions in which it operates. With respect to major jurisdictions outside the United States, the Company’s subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits for years prior to 2007. The Company is currently under audit in the following significant jurisdictions: China, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, Mauritius, Singapore and Vietnam.

Executive Overview

This Executive Overview presents summary information regarding the industry, markets, business and operating trends of ON Semiconductor Corporation, which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1999, and its subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ON Semiconductor” or the “Company”).

Industry Overview

We participate in unit and revenue surveys and use data summarized by WSTS (an industry research firm) to evaluate overall semiconductor market trends and to track our progress against the market in the areas we provide semiconductor components. The most recently published estimates from WSTS project a compound annual growth rate in our serviceable addressable market of approximately 5.0% through 2020. These are not our projections and may not be indicative of actual results. We, like many of our competitors, view this information as helpful third party projections and estimates.

ON Semiconductor Overview

ON Semiconductor is driving innovation in energy efficient electronics. Our extensive portfolio of sensors, power management, connectivity, custom and SoC, analog, logic, timing and discrete devices helps customers efficiently solve their design challenges in advanced electronic systems and products. Our power management and motor driver semiconductor components control, convert, protect and monitor the supply of power to the different elements within a wide variety of electronic devices. Our custom ASICs and SoC devices use analog, MCU, DSP, mixed-signal and advanced logic capabilities to enable the application and uses of many of our automotive, medical, aerospace/defense, consumer and industrial customers’ products. Our signal management semiconductor components provide high-performance clock management and data flow management for precision computing, communications and industrial systems. Our growing portfolio of sensors, including image sensors, optical image stabilization and auto focus devices, provide advanced solutions for automotive, wireless, industrial and consumer applications. Our standard semiconductor components serve as “building blocks” within virtually all types of electronic devices. These various products fall into the logic, analog, discrete, image sensors, IoT and memory categories used by the WSTS group.

We serve a broad base of end-user markets, including automotive, communications, computing, consumer, medical, industrial, networking, telecom and aerospace/defense. Our devices are found in a wide variety of end products including automobiles, smartphones, media tablets, wearable electronics, personal computers, servers, industrial building and home automation systems, factory automation, consumer white goods, security and surveillance systems, machine vision, LED lighting, power supplies, networking and telecom equipment, medical diagnostics, imaging and hearing health, sensor networks and robotics.

Our portfolio of devices enables us to offer advanced ICs and the “building block” components that deliver system level functionality and design solutions. We shipped approximately 36.7 billion units during the six months ended June 29, 2018, as compared to 36.0 billion units during the six months ended June 30, 2017. We offer micro packages, which provide increased performance characteristics while reducing the critical board space inside today’s ever shrinking electronic devices and power modules, delivering improved energy efficiency and reliability for a wide variety of medium and high power applications. We believe that our ability to offer a broad range of products, combined with our applications and global manufacturing and logistics network, provides our customers with single source purchasing on a cost-effective and timely basis.

Operating and Reporting Segments

As many products are sold into different end-markets, the total revenues reported for a segment is not indicative of actual sales in the end-market associated with that segment, but rather is the sum of the revenues from the product lines assigned to that segment. From time to time, we reassess the alignment of our product families and devices to our operating segments and may move product families or individual devices from one operating segment to another. As of June 29, 2018, the Company was organized into the following three operating and reporting segments: the Power Solutions Group, the Analog Solutions Group and the Intelligent Sensing Group.

39

Business and Macroeconomic Environment

The semiconductor industry has traditionally been highly cyclical, has often experienced significant downturns in connection with, or in anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions and may experience significant uncertainty and volatility in the future. We believe our business today is driven more by secular growth drivers and not solely by macroeconomic and industry cyclicality, as was the case historically. However, in the future, we could again experience period-to-period fluctuations in operating results due to general industry or economic conditions.

We have recognized efficiencies from restructuring activities and programs and continue to implement profitability enhancement programs to improve our cost structure. We have historically reviewed, and will continue to review, our cost structure, capital investments and other expenditures to align our spending and capacity with our current sales and manufacturing projections. We have historically taken significant actions to align our overall cost structure with our expected revenue levels by focusing on synergies-related cost reductions arising from each of our acquisitions.

The U.S. government recently imposed, and has also proposed imposing, among other actions, new or higher tariffs on specified imported products originating from China in response to what it characterizes as unfair trade practices, and China has responded by imposing new or higher tariffs on specified products imported from the United States. U.S. government tariffs may cause an increase in the cost of the products that we import from our factories in China, and may have an adverse effect on our profitability, in the event we are unable to pass on the cost increase to our customers. This increase might also translate into an increase in the sale prices for certain of our products, the impacts of which are currently unknown. For more information, see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.

42

Our gross profit was $555.0 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 compared to $492.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Gross profit increased by $63.0 million, or 13%, for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and is primarily due to an increase in gross profits in our Power Solutions Group and Analog Solutions Group.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to approximately 38.1% for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 from approximately 36.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher factory utilization and product mix.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses were $167.1 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 compared to $145.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, representing an increase of $21.5 million, or approximately 15%. This increase was primarily in the area of payroll and payroll related costs due to increased headcount as well as an increase in the cost of the materials utilized in research and development.

Selling and marketing expenses were $81.7 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018, compared to $79.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, representing an increase of $2.2 million, or approximately 3%. There were no significant changes in any of the major expense categories.

General and administrative expenses were $74.6 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018, compared to $76.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, representing a decrease of $2.0 million, or approximately 3%. There were no significant changes in any of the major expense categories.

Other Operating Expenses

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was $27.9 million and $28.6 million for the quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, representing a decrease of $0.7 million, or approximately 2%.

Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net

Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net was $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 compared to $5.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, respectively, representing a decrease of $2.7 million, or approximately 45.8%.

Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment

Goodwill and intangible assets impairment was $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 compared to $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $3.3 million during the quarter ended June 29, 2018. In the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we abandoned certain of our previously capitalized IPRD projects and recorded impairment charges of $1.8 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $2.1 million to $32.6 million during the quarter ended June 29, 2018 compared to $34.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to repayments of outstanding balances offset by a marginal increase in interest rates. Our average gross long-term debt balance (including current maturities) for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 was $3,003.8 million at a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 4.3%, compared to $3,472.9 million at a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 4.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

43

Loss on Debt Refinancing and Prepayment

Loss on debt refinancing was $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 compared to zero for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. We recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $2.6 million related to the refinancing of the Term Loan “B” Facility and expensed $1.4 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs attributed to the partial pay-down of the Term Loan “B” Facility during the quarter ended June 29, 2018.

Gain on Divestiture of Business

Gain on divestiture of business was $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 compared to zero for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. We divested the transient voltage suppressing diodes business we acquired from Fairchild to TSC America, Inc. and recorded a gain of $4.6 million during the quarter ended June 29, 2018.

Licensing Income

Licensing income was $28.1 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 compared to $23.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, due to the achievement of certain criteria based on which income was recognized under the various licensing agreements. We have completed recognizing licensing income under the existing agreements as of June 29, 2018.

Other

Other expense increased by $0.5 million to $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2018, compared to $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, primarily attributable to the impact of our hedging activity offset by an adjustment to contingent consideration and income recognized under the equity method investment from AFSM.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $37.1 million and $48.8 million during the quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

The income tax provision for the quarter ended June 29, 2018 consisted of $48.2 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations and $1.0 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in the U.S. and foreign taxing jurisdictions. These amounts were offset by discrete benefits of $8.9 million relating to the release of reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions related to prior years, $2.8 million relating to the release of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets expected to be realized in the foreseeable future and $0.4 million relating to equity award excess tax benefits.

The income tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 consisted of $50.2 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations and $0.3 million of new interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions. These amounts were offset by a discrete benefit of $1.2 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions which were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed and a discrete benefit of $0.5 million relating to equity award excess tax benefits.

We expect our future effective tax rate, before discrete items, to be between 23% and 27% until we fully utilize all of our U.S. federal net operating losses. The primary difference between our estimated future effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% is due to disallowed foreign taxes for which we will not receive a U.S. tax benefit as a result of U.S. tax reform. The change in our future effective tax rate is not anticipated to have an effect on our cash tax until all of our U.S. federal net operating losses net operating losses and credits have been utilized. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. state deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance on foreign net operating losses and tax credits in certain other foreign jurisdictions.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we were able to estimate upfront the effects of returns and allowances and record revenue at the time of shipments to our distributors. Prior to this, we recognized revenue from distributors under the sell-through method as we did not have the ability to estimate the effects of returns and allowances. This change resulted in us recognizing an additional $155.1 million in revenues during the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in an increase of $59.0 million to gross profit and income before income taxes. The impact of this change is reflected in the discussion below.

Revenues

Revenues were $2,833.5 million and $2,774.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, representing an increase of $58.8 million, or approximately 2.1%. Excluding the one-time impact of the change in revenue recognition on distributor sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounting to $155.1 million, revenues increased by $213.9 million, or approximately 8%.

Revenues from the Power Solutions Group increased by $25.6 million, or approximately 2%, for the six months ended June 29, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. Excluding $107.8 million from the change in revenue recognition on distributor sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017, the revenues in our Power MOSFET Division increased by $70.6 million due to increased demand and the revenues in our High Power Division increased by $59.7 million due to entry into new markets and increased demand.

Revenues from the Analog Solutions Group increased by $37.3 million, or approximately 4%, for the six months ended June 29, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. Excluding $42.1 million from the change in revenue recognition on distributor sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017, revenues in our Digital and DC/DC Division increased by $38.0 million and the revenues in our Automotive Division increased by $34.9 million both due to increased demand in the markets served.

Revenues from the Intelligent Sensing Group decreased by $4.1 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. Excluding $5.1 million from the change in revenue recognition on distributor sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017, the revenues in our Automotive Solutions Division increased by $32.2 million due to increased demand, offset by a decrease of $29.5 million in our Consumer Solutions Division, primarily as a result of the exit of the Mobile CIS business.

Revenues by geographic location, including local sales made by operations within each area, based on sales billed from the respective country, were as follows (dollars in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 29, 2018		As a % of Total Revenues (1)			Six Months Ended June 30, 2017		As a % of Total Revenues (1)

Gross Profit and Gross Margin (exclusive of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets described below)

Our gross profit by operating and reporting segments was as follows (dollars in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 29, 2018			As a % of Segment Revenues (1)			Six Months Ended June 30, 2017			As a % of Segment Revenues (1)
Power Solutions Group	$	506.3			35.1	%	$	472.5			33.4	%
Analog Solutions Group		426.1			42.2	%		405.1			41.7	%
Intelligent Sensing Group		164.3			42.9	%		142.3			36.7	%
Gross profit for reporting segment	$	1,096.7					$	1,019.9
Unallocated manufacturing costs		(24.3	)		(0.9	)%		(24.8	)		(0.9	)%
Consolidated gross profit	$	1,072.4			37.8	%	$	995.1			35.9	%

(1) Certain amounts may not total due to rounding of individual amounts.

Our gross profit was $1,072.4 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018 compared to $995.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was positively impacted by $59.0 million due to a change in revenue recognition on distributor sales and negatively impacted by $11.1 million of expensing of fair market value of inventory step-up from the Fairchild acquisition. Excluding these items, gross profit increased by $125.2 million or 13.2%, for the six months ended June 29, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to an increase in gross profits in our Power Solutions Group and Analog Solutions Group.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to approximately 37.8% for the six months ended June 29, 2018, from approximately 35.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher factory utilization and product mix.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses were $322.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018, compared to $285.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, representing an increase of $36.6 million, or approximately 12.8%. This increase was primarily in the area of payroll and payroll related costs due to increased headcount as well as an increase in the cost of the materials utilized in research and development.

Selling and marketing expenses were $159.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018, compared to $157.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, representing an increase of $2.5 million, or approximately 1.6%. There were no significant changes in any of the major expense categories.

General and administrative expenses were $145.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018, compared to $145.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017, representing an increase of $0.5 million, or approximately 0.3%. There were no significant changes in any of the major expense categories.

Other Operating Expenses

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was $55.3 million and $57.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, representing a decrease of $2.4 million, or approximately 4.2%. The decrease was primarily associated with the declining amortization of several intangible assets partially offset by the increased amortization for our Fairchild intangible assets.

47

Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net

Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net was $3.6 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018, compared to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, representing a decrease of $2.8 million, or approximately 43.8%.

Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment

Goodwill and intangible assets impairment was $3.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018, compared to $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $3.3 million during the six months ended June 29, 2018, while in the six months ended June 30, 2017, we abandoned certain of our previously capitalized IPRD projects and recorded impairment charges of $6.2 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $9.0 million to $64.1 million during the six months ended June 29, 2018, compared to $73.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to repayments of outstanding balances offset by a marginal increase in the interest rate. Our average gross long-term debt balance (including current maturities) for the six months ended June 29, 2018 was $3,069.5 million at a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 4.2%, compared to $3,607.1 million at a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 4.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Loss on Debt Refinancing and Prepayment

Loss on debt refinancing was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018 compared to $26.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

We recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $2.6 million related to the refinancing of the Term Loan “B” facility and expensed $1.4 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs attributed to the partial pay-down of the Term Loan “B” facility during the six months ended June 29, 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a $20.6 million loss on prepayment of a portion of the Term Loan “B” facility and $5.6 million of debt extinguishment charges related to the refinancing of the Term Loan “B” facility.

Gain on Divestiture of Business

Gain on divestiture of business was $4.6 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018, compared to zero for the six months June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 29, 2018, we divested the transient voltage suppressing diodes business we acquired from Fairchild to TSC America, Inc. and recorded a gain of $4.6 million.

Licensing Income

Licensing income was $31.9 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018, compared to $23.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, due to the achievement of certain criteria based on which income was recognized under the various licensing agreements. We have completed recognizing licensing income under the existing agreements as of June 29, 2018.

Other

Other expense decreased by $1.6 million to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018, compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, primarily attributable to an adjustment to contingent consideration and income recognized under the equity method investment from AFSM partially offset by the impact of our hedging activity.

48

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $53.5 million and $85.1 million during the six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 29, 2018 consisted of $88.1 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations and $1.3 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions. These amounts were offset by discrete benefits of $8.9 million relating to the release of reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in the U.S. and foreign taxing jurisdictions related to prior years, $19.9 million relating to an increase in deferred tax assets and release of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets expected to be realized in the foreseeable future and $7.1 million relating to equity award excess tax benefits.

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2017 consisted of $91.0 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations, $0.6 million of new interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions, offset by a discrete benefit of $1.2 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions which were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed and a discrete benefit of $5.3 million relating to equity award excess tax benefits.

We expect our future effective tax rate, before discrete items, to be between 23% and 27% until we fully utilize all of our U.S. federal net operating losses. The primary difference between our estimated future effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% is due to disallowed foreign taxes for which we will not receive a U.S. tax benefit as a result of U.S. tax reform. The change in our future effective tax rate is not anticipated to have an effect on our cash tax until all of our U.S. federal net operating losses and credits have been utilized. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. state deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance on foreign net operating losses and tax credits in certain other foreign jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

This section includes a discussion and analysis of our cash requirements, off-balance sheet arrangements, contingencies, sources and uses of cash, operations, working capital and long-term assets and liabilities.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 29, 2018, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations table, including the notes thereto, contained in the 2017 Form 10-K. See Note 10: “Commitments and Contingencies” for information on operating leases and financing activities (including certain information with respect to our Revolving Credit Facility) and Note 6: “Balance Sheet Information” for information with respect to pension plan information, in each case, in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $850.2 million as of June 29, 2018. We believe that our cash flows from operations, coupled with our existing cash and cash equivalents, will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Total cash and cash equivalents as of June 29, 2018 include approximately $224.0 million available within the United States. While we hold a significant amount of cash and cash equivalents outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries, we have the ability to obtain cash in the United States in order to cover our domestic needs, through distributions from our foreign subsidiaries, by utilizing existing credit facilities or through new bank loans or debt obligations.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, we recorded the outstanding balance, net of discount, of $630.7 million of the 1.00% Notes as a current portion of long-term debt. See Note 7: “Long-Term Debt” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

49

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various operating leases for buildings and equipment, including our mainframe computer system, desktop computers, communications, foundry equipment and service agreements relating to this equipment.

In the ordinary course of business, we provide standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to certain parties initiated by either our subsidiaries or us, as required for transactions including, but not limited to: material purchase commitments, agreements to mitigate collection risk, leases, utilities or customs guarantees. As of June 29, 2018, our Revolving Credit Facility included $15.0 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. There were $0.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility as of June 29, 2018, which reduces our borrowing capacity. We also had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit outside of our Revolving Credit Facility of $6.1 million as of June 29, 2018.

As part of securing financing in the ordinary course of business, we have issued guarantees related to certain of our subsidiaries’ capital lease obligations, equipment financing, lines of credit and real estate mortgages, which totaled $104.4 million as of June 29, 2018. Based on historical experience and information currently available, we believe that we will not be required to make payments under the standby letters of credit or guarantee arrangements for the foreseeable future.

For our operating leases, we expect to make cash payments and similarly incur expenses totaling $170.9 million as payments come due. We have not recorded any liability in connection with these operating leases, letters of credit and guarantee arrangements. See Note 7: “Long-Term Debt” and Note 10: “Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Contingencies

We are a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which we may be obligated to indemnify other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by us require us to indemnify the other party against losses due to IP infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, our negligence or willful misconduct or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.

We face risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that our products fail to perform as expected or such failure of our products results, or is alleged to result, in economic damage, bodily injury or property damage. In addition, if any of our designed products are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in their recall. Depending on the significance of any particular customer and other relevant factors, we may agree to provide more favorable rights to such customer for valid defective product claims.

We maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance policies that indemnify our directors and officers against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Exchange Act, that might be incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such.

The Fairchild Agreement provides for indemnification and insurance rights in favor of Fairchild’s then current and former directors, officers and employees. Specifically, the Company has agreed that, for no fewer than six years following the Fairchild acquisition, the Company will: (a) indemnify and hold harmless each such indemnitee against losses and expenses (including advancement of attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any proceeding asserted against the indemnified party in connection with such person’s servings as a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of Fairchild or its subsidiaries prior to the effective time of the acquisition; (b) maintain in effect all provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries or any other agreements of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries with any indemnified party regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses in existence on the date of the Fairchild Agreement for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition and; (c) subject to certain qualifications, provide to Fairchild’s then current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition that is no less favorable than Fairchild’s then-existing policy, or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage.

50

While our future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, and we do not believe that any amounts that we may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

See Note 10: “Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under the heading “Legal Matters” included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for possible contingencies related to legal matters. See also Part I, Item 1 “Business - Government Regulation” of the 2017 Form 10-K for information on certain environmental matters.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for strategic acquisitions and investments, for research and development, to make capital expenditures, to repurchase our common stock and other Company securities and to pay debt service, including principal and interest and capital lease payments. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations and funds from external borrowings and equity issuances. In the near term, we expect to fund our primary cash requirements through cash generated from operations and with cash and cash equivalents on hand. We also have the ability to utilize our Revolving Credit Facility.

As part of our business strategy, we review acquisition and divestiture opportunities and proposals on a regular basis. During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, we completed the acquisition of SensL and the divestiture of the transient voltage suppressing diodes business we acquired from Fairchild. See Note 4: “Acquisitions, Divestitures and Licensing Transactions” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

We believe that the key factors that could affect our internal and external sources of cash include:

• Factors that affect our results of operations and cash flows, including the impact on our business and operations as a result of changes in demand for our products, competitive pricing pressures, effective management of our manufacturing capacity, our ability to achieve further reductions in operating expenses, the impact of our restructuring programs on our production and cost efficiency and our ability to make the research and development expenditures required to remain competitive in our business; and

• Factors that affect our access to bank financing and the debt and equity capital markets that could impair our ability to obtain needed financing on acceptable terms or to respond to business opportunities and developments as they arise, including interest rate fluctuations, macroeconomic conditions, sudden reductions in the general availability of lending from banks or the related increase in cost to obtain bank financing and our ability to maintain compliance with covenants under our debt agreements in effect from time to time.

Our ability to service our long-term debt, including our 1.625% Notes, 1.00% Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan “B” Facility, to remain in compliance with the various covenants contained in our debt agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities, which is subject to, among other things, our future operating performance, as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control.

If we fail to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may need to raise additional equity or borrow additional funds to achieve our longer term objectives. There can be no assurance that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to us. We believe that cash flow from operating activities coupled with existing cash and cash equivalents and existing credit facilities will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs, as well as enable us to maintain compliance with our various debt agreements, through at least the next 12 months. To the extent that results or events differ from our financial projections or business plans, our liquidity may be adversely impacted.

51

During the ordinary course of business, we evaluate our cash requirements and, if necessary, adjust our expenditures for inventory, operating expenditures and capital expenditures to reflect the current market conditions and our projected sales and demand. Our capital expenditures are primarily directed toward production equipment and capacity expansion. Our capital expenditure levels can materially influence our available cash for other initiatives. For example, during the six months ended June 29, 2018, we paid approximately $252.4 million for capital expenditures, while during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid approximately $121.7 million for capital expenditures. Our current minimum capital expenditure contractual commitment for the remainder of 2018 is approximately $105.7 million. Our current minimum contractual capital expenditure commitment for 2019 and thereafter is approximately $37.8 million. While our capital expenditures have historically been approximately 6% to 7% of annual revenues, we expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately 8% to 9% of annual revenues for the remainder of 2018 and 2019 to adjust to a higher growth environment and to further improve our manufacturing cost structure. Future capital expenditures may be impacted by events and transactions that are not currently forecasted.

Primary Cash Flow Sources

Our long-term cash generation is dependent on the ability of our operations to generate cash. Our cash flows from operating activities were approximately $495.0 million and approximately $541.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The decrease of $46.7 million was primarily attributable to the change in working capital during the period. Our ability to maintain positive operating cash flows is dependent on, among other factors, our success in achieving our revenue goals and manufacturing and operating cost targets.

Our management of our assets and liabilities, including both working capital and long-term assets and liabilities, also influences our operating cash flows, and each of these components is discussed below.

Working Capital

Working capital, calculated as total current assets less total current liabilities, fluctuates depending on end-market demand and our effective management of certain items such as receivables, inventory and payables. In times of escalating demand, our working capital requirements may be affected as we purchase additional manufacturing materials and increase production. Our working capital may also be affected by restructuring programs, which may require us to use cash for severance payments, asset transfers and contract termination costs. In addition, our working capital may be affected by acquisitions and transactions involving our convertible notes and other debt instruments. Our working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents, was $181.8 million at June 29, 2018 and has fluctuated between $668.2 million and $97.1 million at the end of each of our last six fiscal quarters. Our working capital, including cash and cash equivalents, was $1,032.0 million at June 29, 2018 and has fluctuated between $1,524.3 million and $1,022.0 million at the end of each of our last six fiscal quarters.

Although investments made to fund working capital will reduce our cash balances, these investments are necessary to support business and operating initiatives. During the six months ended June 29, 2018, our working capital was most significantly impacted by the reclassification of the 1.00% Notes to current portion of long-term debt and our capital expenditures, including capital leases. See Note 7: “Long-Term Debt” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information on the reclassification of the 1.00% Notes.

Long-Term Assets and Liabilities

Our long-term assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred taxes and goodwill.

Our manufacturing rationalization plans have included efforts to utilize our existing manufacturing assets and supply arrangements more efficiently. We believe that near-term access to additional manufacturing capacity, should it be required, could be readily obtained on reasonable terms through manufacturing agreements with third parties. We will continue to look for opportunities to make strategic purchases in the future for additional capacity.

52

Our long-term liabilities, excluding long-term debt and deferred taxes, consist of liabilities under our foreign defined benefit pension plans and contingent tax reserves. In regard to our foreign defined benefit pension plans, generally, our annual funding of these obligations is equal to the minimum amount legally required in each jurisdiction in which the plans operate. This annual amount is dependent upon numerous actuarial assumptions. For additional information, see Note 6: “Balance Sheet Information” and Note 13: “Income Taxes” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Key Financing and Capital Events

Overview

For the past several years, we have undertaken various measures to secure liquidity to pursue acquisitions, repurchase shares of our common stock, reduce interest costs, amend existing key financing arrangements and, in some cases, extend a portion of our debt maturities to continue to provide us additional operating flexibility.

Cash Management

Our ability to manage cash is limited, as our primary cash inflows and outflows are dictated by the terms of our sales and supply agreements, contractual obligations, debt instruments and legal and regulatory requirements. While we have some flexibility with respect to the timing of capital equipment purchases, we must invest in capital equipment on a timely basis to allow us to maintain our manufacturing efficiency and support our platforms for new products.

Debt Guarantees and Related Covenants

As of June 29, 2018, we were in compliance with the indentures relating to our 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes and with covenants relating to our Term Loan “B” Facility, Revolving Credit Facility and our other debt agreements. Our 1.00% Notes are senior to the existing and future subordinated indebtedness of ON Semiconductor and its guarantor subsidiaries. Our 1.625% Notes rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt and are subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured debt. See Note 7: “Long-Term Debt” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We believe certain of our accounting policies are critical to understanding our financial position and results of operations. Except with respect to our revenue recognition practices included in Note 1: “Background and Basis of Presentation” under the heading “Revenue Recognition Policy” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, there have been no changes to the critical accounting policies as explained in Part 1, Item 7 of the 2017 Form 10-K under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 3: “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

As of June 29, 2018, our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $2,964.1 million. We have no interest rate exposure to rate changes on our fixed rate debt, which totaled $2,048.1 million as of June 29, 2018. We do have interest rate exposure with respect to the $916.0 million balance of our variable interest rate debt outstanding as of June 29, 2018. A 50 basis point increase in interest rates, including the impact of interest rate swaps, would impact our expected annual interest expense for the next 12 months by approximately $4.6 million. However, some of this impact would be offset by additional interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents should rates on deposits and investments also increase. We entered into interest rate swaps to hedge some of the risk of variability in cash flows resulting from future interest payments on our variable interest rate debt under the Term Loan “B” Facility.

Except as described above, our exposure to market risk from December 31, 2017 to June 29, 2018 has not changed materially from the information provided in the 2017 Form 10-K.

To ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of our foreign exchange hedge positions, we continually monitor our foreign exchange forward positions, both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with their underlying foreign currency exposures, from an accounting and economic perspective. However, given the inherent limitations of forecasting and the anticipatory nature of exposures intended to be hedged, we cannot provide any assurances that such programs will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates.

We are subject to risks associated with transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies, as well as the effects of translating amounts denominated in a foreign currency to the U.S. dollar as a normal part of the reporting process. After the change in functional currency for some of our Japanese subsidiaries from Japanese Yen to the U.S. dollar, the remaining Japanese operations continue to utilize Japanese Yen as the functional currency, which results in a translation adjustment that is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

We enter into forward foreign currency contracts that economically hedge the gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain recorded assets and liabilities in a non-functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these undesignated hedges are recognized in other income and expense immediately as an offset to the changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts at June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $86.4 million and $130.5 million, respectively. Our policies prohibit speculation on financial instruments, trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures or entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.

Substantially all of our revenue is transacted in U.S. dollars. However, a significant amount of our operating expenditures and capital purchases are transacted in local currencies, including Japanese Yen, Euros, Korean Won, Malaysian Ringgit, Philippines Peso, Singapore Dollars, Swiss Francs, Chinese Renminbi and Czech Koruna. Due to the materiality of our transactions in these local currencies, our results are impacted by changes in currency exchange rates measured against the U.S. dollar. For example, we determined that based on a hypothetical weighted-average change of 10% in currency exchange rates, our results would have impacted our income before taxes by approximately $50.2 million as of June 29, 2018, assuming no offsetting hedge positions or correlated activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We also carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2018.

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2018 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to a number of trends, risks and uncertainties. We review and, where applicable, update our risk factors each quarter. Except for the trends, risks and uncertainties described below related to tariffs, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the 2017 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 30, 2018 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated in this Form 10-Q could be deemed forward-looking statements, particularly statements about our plans, strategies and prospects under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” or “anticipates,” or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made based on our current expectations, forecasts, estimates and assumptions and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Among these factors are our revenues and operating performance; economic conditions and markets (including current financial conditions); risks related to our ability to meet our assumptions regarding outlook for revenues and gross margin as a percentage of revenues; effects of exchange rate fluctuations; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry; changes in demand for our products; changes in inventories at our customers and distributors; technological and product development risks; enforcement and protection of our IP rights and related risks; risks related to the security of our information systems and secured network; availability of raw materials, electricity, gas, water and other supply chain uncertainties; our ability to effectively shift production to other facilities when required in order to maintain supply continuity for our customers; variable demand and the aggressive pricing environment for semiconductor products; our ability to successfully manufacture in increasing volumes on a cost-effective basis and with acceptable quality for our current products; risks associated with our acquisition of Fairchild and with other acquisitions and dispositions, including our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions and dispositions; risks that acquisitions or dispositions may disrupt our current plans and operations, the risk of unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from acquisitions or dispositions and difficulties arising from integrating and consolidating acquired businesses, our timely filing of financial information with the SEC for acquired businesses and our ability to accurately predict the future financial performance of acquired businesses; competitor actions, including the adverse impact of competitor product announcements; pricing and gross profit pressures; loss of key customers; order cancellations or reduced bookings; changes in manufacturing yields; control of costs and expenses and realization of cost savings and synergies from restructurings; significant litigation; risks associated with decisions to expend cash reserves for various uses in accordance with our capital allocation policy such as debt prepayment, stock repurchases or acquisitions rather than to retain such cash for future needs; risks associated with our substantial leverage and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements that may be in place from time to time; risks associated with our worldwide operations, including changes in trade policies, foreign employment and labor matters associated with unions and collective bargaining arrangements, as well as man-made and/or natural disasters affecting our operations or financial results; the threat or occurrence of international armed conflict and terrorist activities both in the United States and internationally; risks of changes in U.S. or international tax rates or legislation, including the impact of the recent U.S. tax legislation; risks and costs associated with increased and new regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards; risks related to new legal requirements; and risks involving environmental or other governmental regulation. Additional factors that could affect our future

56

results or events are described from time to time in our SEC reports. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update such information, except as may be required by law. Additional factors that could affect our future results or events are described under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the 2017 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the First Quarter Form 10-Q and from time to time in our other SEC reports. You should carefully consider the trends, risks and uncertainties described in this Form 10-Q, Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the 2017 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the First Quarter Form 10-Q and subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of these trends, risks or uncertainties actually occurs or continues, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected, the trading prices of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Changes in government trade policies could increase the cost of our products, which may materially adversely affect our sales or profitability.

The U.S. government recently proposed, among other actions, imposing new or higher tariffs on specified imported products originating from China in response to what it characterizes as unfair trade practices, and China has responded by proposing new or higher tariffs on specified products imported from the United States. In notices published on April 6, 2018 and June 20, 2018, the Office of the United States Trade Representative issued a determination and requests for public comment under Section 301 under the Trade Act of 1974 (the “Notices”) concerning the proposed imposition of an additional 25% tariff on specified products from China, which products comprised approximately $50.0 billion in estimated annual trade value for calendar year 2018. The list of products set forth in the Notices included transistors, diodes, integrated circuits and other products that we import from China as part of our supply chain. On July 6, 2018, the U.S. government imposed a 25% tariff on transistors from China. Further tariffs may be imposed in the future, including a tariff of 25% on diodes and integrated circuits, which may be imposed after the completion of a public comment period, which is expected to end on July 31, 2018. Tariffs on components that we import from China or other nations that have imposed, or may in the future impose, tariffs will cause our expenses to increase, which will adversely affect our profitability unless we are able to exclude our products from the tariffs or we raise prices for our products, which may result in our products becoming less attractive relative to products offered by our competitors. In addition, future actions or escalations by either the United States or China that affect trade relations may also impact our business, or that of our suppliers or customers, and we cannot provide any assurances as to whether such actions will occur or the form that they may take. To the extent that our sales or profitability are negatively affected by any such tariffs or other trade actions, our business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Share Repurchase Program

During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, we repurchased 1.7 million shares of our common stock for $40.0 million under our share repurchase program.

Under the share repurchase program we announced in December 2014 (the “2014 Share Repurchase Program”), we may repurchase up to $1.0 billion (exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses) of our common stock over a period of four years from December 1, 2014, subject to certain contingencies. We may repurchase our common stock from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, or by any combination of such methods or other methods. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under our debt obligations, the availability of capital and other market and economic conditions. The 2014 Share Repurchase Program does not require us to purchase any particular amount of common stock and is subject to a variety of factors including the board’s discretion. As of June 29, 2018, $563.2 million of the total authorized amount remained available to repurchase common stock pursuant to the 2014 Share Repurchase Program.

See Note 8: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information on shares of common stock tendered to the Company by employees to satisfy applicable employee withholding taxes due upon vesting of RSUs and the 2014 Share Repurchase Program.

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 31, 2018 (the “Fourth Amendment”), among ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Subsidiary Guarantors party hereto, DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH (“DBNY”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, and together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), DBNY, as collateral agent (in such capacity, and together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) under the Credit Agreement referred to below, each of the Revolving Lenders, the 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lenders, the 2018 Converting Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lenders and certain Lenders party hereto constituting the New Required Lenders (with capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this paragraph and the recitals below to be defined as provided in Section 1 below).

R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and various other parties have previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2016, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016, that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2017 and that certain Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2017 (as so amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the 2018 Converting Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lenders agree to convert all or a portion of their 2017 Converted Replacement Term B-2 Loans into 2018 Converted Replacement Term B-3 Loans in a principal amount for each such 2018 Converting Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lender equal to its Allocated Replacement Term Loan Conversion Amount, and the 2018 Converting Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lenders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby), to effect such conversion;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lenders make 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loans in a principal amount for each such 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lender equal to its 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loan Commitment, and the 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lenders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby), to make such 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loans; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Revolving Lender and the Required Lenders (determined immediately after giving effect to the making of the 2018 Replacement Term B-3 Loans) (the “New Required Lenders”) have agreed, to amend and/or waive, as applicable, certain provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.    Defined Terms; Rules of Construction. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement or, if not defined therein, the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. The rules of construction specified in Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Fourth Amendment, including the terms defined in the preamble and recitals hereto.

SECTION 2.    Amendments to the Credit Agreement.

(a)    Effective as of the Initial Fourth Amendment Effective Date, each existing Revolving Lender agrees to amend and restate clause (b) of the definition of “Applicable Margin” in its entirety as follows:

“(b)    with respect to Revolving Loans after the Initial Fourth Amendment Effective Date (i) for Eurocurrency Loans, 1.25%, (ii) for ABR Loans, 0.25% and (iii) for the Commitment Fee Rate, 0.20%; provided that, on and after the first Adjustment Date occurring after the completion of the first fiscal quarter of the Borrower occurring after the Initial Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans will be determined pursuant to the following:

PRICING GRID FOR REVOLVING LOANS

Pricing Level	Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans			Applicable Margin for ABR Loans			Commitment Fee Rate
I		1.75	%		0.75	%		0.30	%
II		1.50	%		0.50	%		0.25	%
III		1.25	%		0.25	%		0.20	%

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted, on and after the first Adjustment Date occurring after the completion of the first fiscal quarter of the Borrower to occur after the Initial Fourth Amendment Effective Date, based on changes in the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, with such adjustments to become effective on the date (the “Adjustment Date”) that is three (3) Business Days after the date on which the relevant financial statements are delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.1 and to remain in effect until the next adjustment to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. If any financial statements referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified in Section 7.1, then, until the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date on which such financial statements are delivered, the highest rate set forth in each column of the Pricing Grid shall apply. On each Adjustment Date, the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margins opposite the Pricing Level determined to exist on such Adjustment Date from

-2-

the financial statements relating to such Adjustment Date. As used herein, the following rules shall govern the determination of Pricing Levels on each Adjustment Date:

‘Pricing Level I’ shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is greater than 2.25 to 1.00.

‘Pricing Level II’ shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00.

‘Pricing Level III’ shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is less than 1.75 to 1.00.”

(b)    Effective as of the Initial Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the amended Credit Agreement attached hereto as Annex A. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that amendments to the Credit Agreement relating to the incurrence of the 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loans and the 2018 Replacement Term B-3 Loan Conversion are effected in reliance on Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement and the 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loans are “Refinancing Term Loans” as contemplated by such Section and the 2018 Replacement Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the Subsequent Fourth Amendment Effective Date are the “Replaced Term Loans.” Each Person executing this Fourth Amendment in its capacity as a 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lender or a 2018 Converting Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lender shall become (or, if already a Lender prior to the Subsequent Fourth Amendment Effective Date, remain) a “Lender” and a “Term Lender” under the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) as a Lender holding the 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loan Commitments (in the case of 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lenders) and 2018 Replacement Term B-3 Loans (in the case of all 2018 Replacement Term B-3 Loan Lenders).

(c)    Effective as of the Subsequent Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,

(i)    Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following definitions in appropriate alphabetical order:

(1) ““Beneficial Ownership Certification” a certification regarding beneficial ownership required by the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.”

(2) ““Beneficial Ownership Regulation” means 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230.”

(ii)    Section 4.1(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the text “Subsequent Third Amendment Effective Date” appearing therein and inserting the text “Subsequent Fourth Amendment Effective Date” in lieu thereof;

-3-

(iii)    Section 7.2(h) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following text at the end thereof: “and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation”; and

(iv)    Section 8.6(g)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the text “Loan Parties” appearing therein and inserting the text “Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries” in lieu thereof.

SECTION 3.    Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Fourth Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each other party hereto that, as of each applicable Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined below): (i) the Fourth Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and each of this Fourth Amendment and the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby on such applicable the Fourth Amendment Effective Date) constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law); (ii) as of the Subsequent Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification, if applicable, is true and correct in all respects; (iii) after giving effect to this Fourth Amendment and the transactions contemplated by this Fourth Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (iv) the execution, delivery and performance of this Fourth Amendment and the performance of the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby on such applicable Fourth Amendment Effective Date) and, in the case of the Subsequent Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the incurrence of the 2018 New Replacement Term B-3 Loans shall not (a) violate its Organizational Documents or the Loan Documents, (b) violate any Requirement of Law, Governmental Authorization or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, the Convertible Notes Indentures and, in each case any Permitted Refinancings thereof) and (c) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to its Organizational Documents, any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (including, without limitation, the Convertible Notes Indentures and, in each case, any Permitted Refinancings thereof) (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and the Liens permitted by Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement), except for any violation set forth in clauses (b) or (c) which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.    Conditions of Effectiveness of this Fourth Amendment.

(a)    Sections 1, 2(a), 2(b), 3, 4(a), 4(b), 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of this Fourth Amendment shall become effective as of the first date (the “Initial Fourth Amendment Effective Date”) when each of the conditions set forth in this Section 4(a) shall have been satisfied (which, in the case of clause (ii) below, may be substantially concurrent with the satisfaction of the condition specified in clause (i) below):

(c)    an opinion addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from local counsel in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located which shall include, without limitation, the enforceability of the Mortgage.

(c) all outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit on and as of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and, during the continuation of an Event of Default, on any other Business Day elected by the Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Facility.

1.4 Pro Forma Calculations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.4; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.4(b), (c) or (d), when (i) calculating the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of (A) the definition of “Applicable Margin” and the Pricing Grid and (B) determining actual compliance (and not compliance on a pro forma basis) with any covenant pursuant to Section 8.1 and (ii) calculating the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definition of “ECF Percentage”, the events described in this Section 1.4 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Reference Period shall not be given pro forma effect and shall be calculated at the last day of such fiscal year or fiscal quarter, as the case may be. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, the reference to the “Reference Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Reference Period for which financial statements of the Borrower have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), as applicable (or, if prior to the date of delivery of the first financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1, the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.1).

(b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test, the Transactions or any Significant Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to Section 1.4(d)) that have been made (i) during the applicable Reference Period and (ii) if applicable as described in Section 1.4(a), subsequent to such Reference Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that the Transactions or all such Significant Transactions, as applicable (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to the Transactions or any Significant Transaction, as applicable) had occurred on the first day (or, in case of the determination of Consolidated Total Tangible Assets, the last day) of the applicable Reference Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Reference Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Reference Period shall have made any Significant Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.4, then such financial ratio or test (or Consolidated Total Tangible Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.4.

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to the Transactions or any Significant Transaction, the calculations made on a pro forma basis shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies projected by the Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of the Transactions or any Significant Transaction (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies

(57)

were realized during the entirety of such period), and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period in connection with the Transactions or any Significant Transaction, as applicable, (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Reference Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized relating to the Transactions or such Significant Transaction, as applicable; provided that (i) such amounts are reasonably anticipated to be realized and reasonably factually supportable and quantifiable in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, (ii) such actions are to be taken within (A) in the case of any such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies in connection with the Transactions, not later than eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, and (B) in all other cases, within 18 months after the consummation of the Significant Transaction, which is expected to result in such cost savings, expense reductions, other operating improvements or synergies and (iii) and no cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies shall be added pursuant to this clause 1.4(c) to the extent duplicative of any expenses or charges otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA, whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period; provided further that any increase to Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) shall be subject to the limitation set forth in clause (vii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA.”

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility), (i) during the applicable Reference Period or (ii) subject to Section 1.4(a) subsequent to the end of the applicable Reference Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Reference Period. If any Indebtedness bears a floating or formula based rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedge Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness).

(e) At any time prior to the first date on which the Financial Covenants are required to be tested under Section 8.1, any provision requiring the pro forma compliance with Section 8.1 shall be made assuming that compliance with the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 8.1 for the Reference Period ending on such date is required with respect to the most recent Reference Period prior to such time.

(f) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of:

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement (other than the Financial Covenants) which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any financial ratio set forth in Section 2.4(a)); or

(ii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Tangible Assets);

(58)

in each case, at the option of the Borrower and, to the extent required by Section 2.4 or Section 3.16, with the consent of the requisite lenders required thereby (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith), the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date would have failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Tangible Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments, the making of any Investment, mergers, Dispositions of assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, repurchase, conversion, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a pro forma basis (i) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (ii) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated.

1.5 Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.7 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the below provisions of Section 1.5 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Investment or Indebtedness may be incurred or made at any time under such Sections.

(b) For purposes of determining the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the Borrower’s financial statements corresponding to the Reference Period with respect to the applicable date of determination and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Swap Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Amount of such Indebtedness; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, L/C Obligations denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the Exchange Rate.

(59)

1.6 Schedules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) solely to the extent related to the Acquired Business, the Borrower may, on or prior to the Acquisition Effective Date, update any disclosure schedule or make any other qualification or disclosure with respect to any representation and warranty contained in Section 5 of this Agreement, in any case, unless the matters described in such updated or supplemented schedule or other disclosure would require or permit the Borrower to terminate the Acquisition Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition, and such updated or supplemented schedule or other disclosure shall replace such schedule or other disclosure provided on the Closing Date, without any requirement for any amendment or any consent by any Agent, any Lender, any Lead Arranger or any other Loan Party, (b) to the extent related to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Business), if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree, the Borrower may, on or prior to the Acquisition Effective Date, update any disclosure schedule or make any other qualification or disclosure with respect to any representation and warranty contained in Section 5 of this Agreement, but solely to the extent necessary to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or to the extent immaterial or not adverse to any Lender, and such updated or supplemented schedule or other disclosure shall replace such schedule or other disclosure provided on the Closing Date, and (c) to the extent agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, Schedule 5.15 to the Disclosure Letter may be amended by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to set forth the arrangements and timing for the completion of the granting and/or perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or other matters to the extent such granting and/or perfection or other matters is not practicable to be completed on or prior to the Acquisition Effective Date, and such amended schedule shall replace such schedule or provided on the Closing Date, without any requirement for any amendment or any consent by any other Agent, any Lender, any Lead Arranger or any other Loan Party.

The remaining unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans and all other Obligations under or in respect of the Term Loans shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the Term Loan Maturity Date, except to the extent extended by an individual Lender as to such Lender’s Term Loan.

2.4 Incremental Term Loans.

(a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Subsequent First Amendment Effective Date by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more new term loan facilities or an increase in any existing tranche of Term Loans (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”) with term loan commitments (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) in an aggregate principal amount, when combined with the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments, Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments under Section 3.16 and all Incremental Equivalent Debt under Section 2.5, not

(62)

in excess of (i) an amount equal to the maximum amount of additional Loans that could be incurred by the Borrower at such time without causing the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio to be greater than 1.50 to 1.00, calculated after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such additional amount (but without giving effect to any amounts incurred under the immediately following clause (ii)), provided that (A) the cash proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be excluded for the purposes of cash netting from Indebtedness in such calculations, (B) assuming the full amount of any Incremental Revolving Commitments are borrowed (whether or not funded or outstanding) and (C) all Incremental Term Facilities, Incremental Revolving Commitments, Incremental Equivalent Debt and permitted refinancings of the foregoing shall be included in the numerator of such First Lien Net Leverage Ratio calculation regardless of whether, or to what extent secured, plus (ii) $500,000,000, and in minimum increments of $10,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser minimum increments as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) (the foregoing amount, the “Available Incremental Amount”). Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, a “Term Loan Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such earlier date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) and (ii) the identity of each Person (which, if not a Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations.

(b) Conditions. With respect to any Incremental Term Loan Commitments, such Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective, as of such Term Loan Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i) the condition set forth in Section 6.2(c) shall be satisfied (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Term Joinder);

(ii) Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except to (A) the extent made as of a specific date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such specific date and (B) representations and warranties qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects); provided that, if the primary purpose of such Incremental Term Facility is to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition permitted under Section 8.7, with the consent of only the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility, the foregoing shall be limited to the Specified Representations (other than Section 5.19 with respect to the target in such Permitted Acquisition and its subsidiaries);

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Term Loan Increase Effective Date (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Term Joinder); provided that, if the primary purpose of such Incremental Term Facility is to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, permitted under Section 8.7, with the consent of only the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility, the foregoing shall at the Borrower’s election instead be tested at the time of the execution of the relevant definitive acquisition agreement; and

(iv) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered a duly executed Increase Term Joinder and any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(63)

(c) Terms of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments. The terms and provisions of the Term Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Term Loan Commitments (the “Incremental Term Loans”) shall be as follows:

(i) such terms and provisions shall be consistent with the existing Term Loans (except as otherwise set forth herein) and, to the extent not consistent with such existing Term Loans, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be part of the existing tranche of Term Loans or may comprise one or more new tranches of Term Loans); provided that except as otherwise set forth in clauses (ii)–(vi) below and clause (b) above, the terms shall be (taken as a whole) no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to the Incremental Lenders under the relevant Incremental Term Facility than those applicable to the then-existing Term Loans or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the then-existing Term Loans at the time of incurrence of the Incremental Term Facility);

(ii) the amortization requirements for such Incremental Term Loans may differ from those of the Term Loans, provided that the weighted average life to maturity of all new Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of any Term Loans outstanding at such time;

(iii) the final stated maturity date of Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Term Loan Maturity Date of any Term Loans outstanding at such time without taking into account any ability to extend such Term Loan Maturity Date that has not yet been exercised;

(iv) any Incremental Term Facility shall have fees as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders under such Incremental Term Facility subject to clause (vi) below;

(v) any Incremental Term Facility may provide for the ability to participate on a pro rata basis, or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis), in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of Term Loans hereunder;

(vi) the applicable yield for the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders; provided however, that if the All-In Yield for any Incremental Term Loans incurred is greater than the highest applicable All-in-Yield that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to 20172018 Replacement Term B-23 Loans then outstanding plus 50 basis points then such yield for the then existing 20172018 Replacement Term B-23 Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the yield is equal to such Incremental Term Facility minus 50 basis points; provided that if such Incremental Term Facility includes a Eurocurrency Rate floor greater than the Eurocurrency Rate floor applicable to the then-existing 20172018 Replacement Term B-23 Loans, or an ABR floor greater than the ABR

(64)

floor applicable to the then-existing 20172018 Replacement Term B-23 Loans such differential between the Eurocurrency Rate or ABR floors shall be equated to the applicable All-in Yield for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the then-existing 20172018 Replacement Term B-23 Loans shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the Eurocurrency Rate or ABR floor in the then-existing 20172018 Replacement Term B-23 Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case, the Eurocurrency Rate or ABR floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the then-existing 20172018 Replacement Term B-23 Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between the Eurocurrency Rate or ABR floors; and

(vii) Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and benefit from the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral securing the other Loans.

Incremental Term Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make any Incremental Term Loan Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Term Loan Commitment) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Lenders in connection with such Incremental Term Facility; provided that the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders (in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required with respect to any additional Lender to the same extent such consent would for an assignment of an existing Loan to such Lender pursuant to Section 11.6(b). The Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Term Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. Incremental Term Loans may be used for the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ general corporate purposes, including any transaction not prohibited under this Agreement. The Increase Term Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.4. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans that are Term Loans made pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Making of Incremental Term Loans. On any Term Loan Increase Effective Date on which Incremental Term Loan Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment.

(e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and without limiting the foregoing, shall benefit equally and ratably from security interests created by the Security Documents and the guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Incremental Term Loans or any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

(65)

2.5 Incremental Equivalent Debt. (a) At any time and from time to time after the Acquisition Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may issue one or more series of Incremental Equivalent Debt in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Available Incremental Amount as of the date of and after giving effect to the issuance of any such Incremental Equivalent Debt when combined with the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments under Section 2.4, Incremental Revolving Commitments under Section 3.16, and any other Incremental Equivalent Debt under this Section 2.5.

(b) The issuance of any Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to this Section 2.5 (i) shall in all cases, be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loan Commitments set forth under Section 2.4(b)(iii) and Section 2.4(c)(ii) through (v), (ii) shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Subsidiary Guarantors and shall not be secured by any Lien on any property or asset of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral, and (iii) shall contain covenants, events of default, guarantees (if any) and other terms customary for similar debt instruments in light of then-prevailing market conditions at the time of issuance, it being understood that a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to or at the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Incremental Equivalent Debt or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions of the Incremental Equivalent Debt satisfy the requirement set forth in this clause (b), shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions have been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.5(b), (i) if the Incremental Equivalent Debt is incurred in the form of Permitted Pari Passu Indebtedness that is floating rate debt, such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loan Commitments under Section 2.4(c)(vi), and (ii) if the Incremental Equivalent Debt is incurred in the form of Permitted Pari Passu Indebtedness that is fixed rate debt, if the All-In Yield for any such Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred is greater than the highest applicable All-in-Yield that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to Term Loans then outstanding (with such All-In Yield with respect to the then existing Term Loans calculated using (A) the higher of the Eurocurrency Rate at such time and the LIBOR Swap Equivalent Rate and (B) the margin and any OID or upfront fees consistent with the treatment thereof under the definition of “All-in-Yield”) plus 50 basis points then such yield for the then existing Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the yield is equal to such Incremental Equivalent Debt minus 50 basis points.

2.6 Extensions of Loans. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Acquisition Effective Date, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the maturity date of any Class of Loans or Commitments to the extended maturity date specified in such notice. Such notice shall (i) set forth the amount of the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000), (ii) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)) and (iii) identify the relevant Class of Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loans to which such Extension relates. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. If the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, of Lenders of the applicable Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

(66)

(b) The following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Extension (except (A) to the extent made as of a specific date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such specific date and (B) representations and warranties qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects), (iii) the Issuing Lenders shall have consented to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments, to the extent that such Extension provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit at any time during the extended period and (iv) the terms of such Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Term Loans shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(c) The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitment shall be no earlier than the Revolving Termination Date and the final maturity date of the Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii)(A) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions of commitments under any Extended Revolving Commitments and (B) the average life to maturity of the Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the then-existing Term Loans, (iii) the Extended Revolving Loans and the Extended Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Revolving Loans and the existing Term Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, (iv) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Revolving Commitment (and the Extended Revolving Loans thereunder) and Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (v)(A) the Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the other Term Loans and (B) borrowing and prepayment of Extended Revolving Loans, or reductions of Extended Revolving Commitments, and participation in Letters of Credit, shall be on a pro rata basis with the other Revolving Commitments (other than upon the maturity of the non-extended Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments) and (vi) the terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended Term Loans as a new Class or tranche of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended Classes or tranches and to provide for the reallocation of Revolving Credit Exposure upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this Section.

(67)

2.7 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

SECTION 3. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING COMMITMENTS

3.1 Revolving Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower in Agreed Currencies from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, (i) when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, subject to Sections 1.3 and 4.2(h), does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (ii) subject to Section 1.3 and 4.2(h), will not result in the Dollar Amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and L/C Exposure, in each case denominated in Foreign Currencies, exceeding the Foreign Currency Sublimit. During the Revolving Availability Period the Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 3.2 and 4.3. Subject to Section 3.15, each Revolving Loan shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that each ABR Loan shall only be made in Dollars. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions applicable to a Lender of Revolving Loans hereunder shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date, except to the extent extended by individual Lenders as to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

(c) In the event a mandatory prepayment of the Closing Date Term Loans is required to be made pursuant to Section 4.2(e), the Revolving Availability Period shall not commence and the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate.

3.2 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Availability Period on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent its irrevocable notice (which notice, in the case of any Revolving Loans to be borrowed on the Acquisition Effective Date must be received in writing by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior to the Acquisition Effective Date), which may be given by (a) telephone or (b) a Committed Loan Notice; provided, that such notice may be contingent on the occurrence of a refinancing or the consummation of a sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets and may be revoked if the refinancing or sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets does not occur; provided further that any telephone notice must be confirmed promptly on the same date prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time such telephonic notice is given by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent for any Revolving Loans requested to be made after the Acquisition Effective Date, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans (four (4) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan denominated in a Foreign

(68)

Currency), or (ii) prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans) (provided that any such notice of a borrowing of ABR Loans to finance payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.3 may be given not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing) and must specify (A) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date and (C) in the case of Eurocurrency Revolving Loans, the respective amounts of each Type of Loan, the Agreed Currency of each such Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing under the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in a Dollar Amount equal to (A) in the case of ABR Loans, $10,000,000 or in increments of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $10,000,000, such lesser amount) and (B) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that borrowings of ABR Loans pursuant to Section 3.9 shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum amounts. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

3.3 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period from and including the Acquisition Effective Date to the last day of the Revolving Availability Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily Dollar Amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

3.4 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. On or after the Acquisition Effective Date, the Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments; provided, further that such notice may be contingent on the occurrence of a refinancing or the consummation of a sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets and may be revoked or the termination date deferred if the refinancing or sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets does not occur. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000, or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

3.5 L/C Commitment. (a) On or after the Acquisition Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.8(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) not to exceed the L/C Commitment for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender, with the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (and, without duplication, any unpaid L/C Disbursement in respect thereof) reducing the Available Revolving Commitments on a Dollar-for-Dollar basis by the Dollar Amount thereof; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (ii) the

(69)

aggregate amount of such Issuing Lender’s Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero, or (iii) subject to Section 1.3 and 4.2(d), such issuance would cause the Dollar Amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and L/C Exposure, in each case denominated in Foreign Currencies, to exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in an Agreed Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of its date of issuance (unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewals pursuant to Section 3.6(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be governed by laws of the State of New York (unless the laws of another jurisdiction are agreed to by the respective Issuing Lender). It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that each of the letters of credit described in Schedule 3.5 of the Disclosure Letter shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement on the Acquisition Effective Date and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Acquisition Effective Date.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Requirements of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it and (iii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally. No Primary Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit in an aggregate face amount in excess at any time outstanding of the Primary Issuing Lender L/C Sublimit.

3.6 Procedure for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension of Letters of Credit; Certain Conditions. (a) On or after the Acquisition Effective Date, the Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the relevant Issuing Lender) to such Issuing Lender an Application requesting the issuance of the Letter of Credit and specifying the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and, as applicable, specifying the date of amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the Agreed Currency applicable thereto, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.5(a)(iii)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information and documents, including any Issuer Documents, as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. Such Application shall be accompanied by documentary and other evidence of the proposed beneficiary’s identity as may reasonably be requested by such Issuing Lender to enable such Issuing Lender to verify the beneficiary’s identity or to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the Patriot Act. Provided such Issuing Lender has determined that the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of the requested Letter of Credit in favor of the identified beneficiary is in compliance with U.S. Treasury and U.S. Department of Commerce regulations and other applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control regulations), upon receipt of all required approvals, such Issuing Lender will issue, amend, renew or extend the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in such form as may be approved

(70)

by such Issuing Lender, which shall have been approved by the Borrower, within (i) in the case of an issuance, five (5) Business Days of the date of the receipt of the Application and all related information and (ii) in the case of an amendment, renewal or extension, three (3) Business Days of the date of the receipt of the Application and all related information. Each Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. An Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance (or, amendment, extension or renewal, as applicable) of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof and the Agreed Currency applicable thereto) issued by such Issuing Lender.

(b) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Application, an Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that an Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (i) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 3.5(a) or (b) or otherwise), or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

3.7 Fees and Other Charges; Role of Issuing Lender; Applicability of ISP and UCP. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee (the “L/C Fee”) in Dollars on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurocurrency Loans under the Revolving Facility on the Dollar Amount of such Letter of Credit, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee in Dollars of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired Dollar Amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender.

(c) Role of Issuing Lender. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any L/C Disbursement under a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Agent Related Parties nor any correspondent,

(71)

participant or assignee of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Agent Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.10; provided, however, that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an Issuing Lender, and an Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit (in each case, as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and an Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. An Issuing Lender may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(d) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP or the UCP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue a commercial Letter of Credit hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Issuing Lender shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Issuing Lender’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

3.8 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lenders, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lenders’ obligations and rights (though, in the case of rights, subject to such L/C Participant’s satisfaction of its reimbursement obligation set forth in the following sentence) under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the Dollar Amount of each L/C Disbursement paid by the Issuing Lenders thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees

(72)

with each Issuing Lender that, if an L/C Disbursement is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of such Issuing Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Amount of such L/C Disbursement, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. The L/C Participants’ obligations to make such payment shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that any L/C Participant may have or have had against an Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person. The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such Dollar Amount to such Issuing Lender.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.8(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand an amount in Dollars equal to the product of (i) the Dollar Amount of such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.8(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, the Dollar Amount of such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility (or to the extent that such L/C Disbursement was made in a Foreign Currency, a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan in such Foreign Currency in an amount equal to the L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit). A certificate of an Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.8(a), the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to it.

3.9 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. An Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower of the date and Dollar Amount of any L/C Disbursement under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees to reimburse such Issuing Lender in Dollars for the Dollar Amount of (a) such L/C Disbursement so paid (or if the Issuing Lender shall so elect in its sole discretion by notice to the Borrower, in such other Agreed Currency which was paid by the Issuing Lender pursuant to such L/C Disbursement in such Agreed Currency in an amount equal to the amount of such L/C Disbursement) and (b) any reasonable and documented fees, charges or other costs or expenses (other than taxes or similar amounts) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment on the Business Day after the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars (or if the Issuing Lender shall so elect in its

(73)

sole discretion by notice to the Borrower, in such other Agreed Currency which was paid by the Issuing Lender pursuant to such L/C Disbursement in such Agreed Currency in an amount equal to the amount of such L/C Disbursement) and in immediately available funds. Each L/C Disbursement under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.2(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.8 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 3.2 of ABR Loans in the amount of such L/C Disbursement; provided that, if the amount of such L/C Disbursement is not less than the Dollar Amount of $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 3.2 or 1.5 that such payment be financed with (i) to the extent such L/C Disbursement was made in Dollars, an ABR Revolving Loan or Eurocurrency Revolving Loan in Dollars in an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement or (ii) to the extent that such L/C Disbursement was made in a Foreign Currency, a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan in such Foreign Currency in an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement, and, in each case, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Loan or Eurocurrency Revolving Loan, as applicable. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 3.2, if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from an Issuing Lender of such L/C Disbursement under such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each L/C Participant of the applicable amount drawn, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 3.2 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 3.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the L/C Participants), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the L/C Participants. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.9, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that L/C Participants have made payments pursuant to this Section 3.9 to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by an L/C Participant pursuant to this Section 3.9 to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any L/C Disbursement under a Letter of Credit (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such unreimbursed amount. If the Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Borrower shall, at its option, either (A) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the relevant Revolving Lender or (B) reimburse each L/C Disbursement made in such Foreign Currency in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rates, on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, of such L/C Disbursement.

3.10 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.9 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against an Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lenders that the Issuing Lenders and any Issuing Lender’s Agent Related Parties shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.9 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be

(74)

transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender or any Agent Related Party of any Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its Agent Related Parties, as applicable. The parties hereto agree that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender or its Agent Related Parties under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of their respective gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be binding on the Borrower and the parties hereto and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender or its Agent Related Parties to the Borrower.

3.11 Letter of Credit Payments. If any L/C Disbursement is made under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date of payment and amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect thereof. The responsibility of an Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any L/C Disbursement under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, and subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 3.7(c) and 3.10 hereof, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.12 Applications; Issuer Documents. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

3.13 Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any disbursement under a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such disbursement in full on the date such disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (or in the case such disbursement is denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate for such Agreed Currency plus the then effective Applicable Margin with respect to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans); provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such disbursement when due pursuant to Section 3.9, then Section 4.5(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 3.13 shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.9 to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such L/C Participant to the extent of such payment.

3.14 Replacement of Issuing Lender. An Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.7. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (a) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (b) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(75)

3.15 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the final paragraph of Section 11.1.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 3.15(b); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 3.15(b); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 3.15(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(76)

(iii) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.15(b); provided that with respect to any L/C Fee not required to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.15(a)(iv), the Borrower shall (A) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such L/C Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) below, (B) pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(v) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 11.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(vi) If the reallocation described in clause (v) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.15(b).

(b) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within three (3) Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 3.15(a)(v) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(77)

(i) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided (other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 8.3), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 3.15(b) in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iii) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.15(b) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

(c) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 3.15(a)(v)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(78)

3.16 Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Acquisition Effective Date by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) in an aggregate principal amount when combined with the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments under Section 2.4 and all Incremental Equivalent Debt under Section 2.5 and any other Incremental Revolving Commitment, not in excess of the Available Incremental Amount. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such earlier date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) and (ii) the identity of each Person (which, if not a Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations.

(b) Conditions. The Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become effective as of such Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i) the condition set forth in Section 6.2(c) shall be satisfied (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Revolving Joinder);

(ii) Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except (A) to the extent made as of a specific date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such specific date and (B) representations and warranties qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects); provided that, if the primary purpose of such Incremental Revolving Commitment is to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition permitted under Section 8.7 with the consent of only the Revolving Lenders, then the foregoing shall be limited to the Specified Representations (other than Section 5.19 with respect to the target in such Permitted Acquisition and its subsidiaries);

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Revolving Joinder); provided that, if the primary purpose of such Incremental Revolving Commitment is to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition permitted under Section 8.7, with the consent of only the Revolving Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment, the foregoing shall at the Borrower’s election instead be tested at the time of the execution of the relevant definitive acquisition agreement; and

(iv) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered a duly executed Increase Revolving Joinder and any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(c) Terms of Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Loans”) shall be part of the existing tranche of Revolving Loans and such terms and provisions shall be on the same terms and subject to the same documentation applicable to the existing Revolving Facility.

(79)

Incremental Revolving Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make any Incremental Revolving Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders; provided that the consent of the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Lender (in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required with respect to any additional Lender to the same extent such consent would for an assignment of an existing Loan to such Lender pursuant to Section 11.6(b). The Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Revolving Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Revolving Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. Incremental Revolving Loans may be used for the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ general corporate purposes, including any transaction not prohibited under this Agreement. The Increase Revolving Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.16. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loans that are made pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, if secured, in any case, shall benefit equally and ratably from security interests created by the Security Documents and the guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Incremental Revolving Loans or any such Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(f) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to Section 4.2 (a)-(e) shall be applied, without premium or penalty (other than in connection with a Repricing Event) first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.8 and, second, to prepay the Revolving Loans without any permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments, in each case on a pro rata basis. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurocurrency Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 4.2 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, and any premium applicable thereto under Section 4.1(b); provided, further, that if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.11.

(g) Each Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or PDF attachment to an e-mail) at least one Business Day prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2(a)-(e) of its Loans (such declined prepayment amounts, “Declined Prepayments”) other than any prepayment from the proceeds of any Replacement Facility, in which case (i) such Declined Prepayments shall be applied pro rata to all Term Loans of each Term Lender that did not elect to decline such prepayment, and (ii) to the extent of any excess, such Declined Prepayments shall be retained by the Borrower.

(83)

the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Committed Loan Notice (provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice) no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. No conversion or continuation of the 2016 Incremental Term Loans into 2016 Replacement Term Loans pursuant to the 2016 Incremental Term Loan Conversion shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment, prepayment or commitment reduction for purposes of the Agreement.

(b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and, prior to the Acquisition Effective Date, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.3(b), of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurocurrency Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, (i) in the case of any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, such Loans shall be converted to ABR Loans and (ii) in the case of any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency in respect of which the Borrower shall have failed to deliver any required notice election prior to the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Loans shall automatically continue as Eurocurrency Loans in the same currency with an Interest Period of one month unless such Eurocurrency Loans are or were repaid in accordance with Section 4.1. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) on the Closing Date, the initial Closing Date Term Loans shall be Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one week, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the Initial Closing Date Term Loans be continued for one additional one week Interest Period thereafter, and (ii) for the period from May 2, 2016 until the Acquisition Effective Date, each Interest Period shall be for a period of one month; it being acknowledged and agreed that the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the initial Closing Date Term Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month commencing on May 2, 2016.

(84)

4.4 Limitations on Eurocurrency Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to a Dollar Amount in the amount of $10,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 10 Eurocurrency Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Statutory Reserve Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.

(d) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.7 and 10.12 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.7 or 10.12 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.7 or 10.12.

4.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a) If at the time that the Administrative Agent shall seek to determine the LIBOR Screen Rate on the Quotation Day for any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan the LIBOR Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period and/or for the applicable currency with respect to such Eurocurrency Loan for any reason, and the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), then the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan shall be the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate at which it could borrow funds in Dollars (or, in respect of Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, such Agreed Currency) for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period in same day funds in the approximate amount of the Eurocurrency Loan being made, continued or converted and with a term equivalent to such Interest Period would be offered by Deutsche Bank AG London Branch in the London interbank Eurocurrency market; provided that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero; provided further that if no such rate is available to the Administrative Agent, (i) if such Loan shall be requested in Dollars, then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Loan at the Alternate Base Rate and (ii) if such Loan shall be requested in any Foreign Currency, the LIBO Rate shall be equal to the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Borrower and consented to in writing by the Required Lenders (the “Alternative Rate”); provided, however, that until such time as the Alternative Rate shall be determined and so consented to by the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Facility, Loans shall not be available in such Foreign Currency.

(88)

(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Facility Lenders of any Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Loan for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Committed Loan Notice that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurocurrency Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Committed Loan Notice requests a Eurocurrency Loan in Dollars, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan and (iii) if any Committed Loan Notice requests a Eurocurrency Loan in a Foreign Currency, then the LIBO Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan shall be the Alternative Rate; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Loans, then the other Type of Loans shall be permitted.

4.8 Pro Rata Treatment; Application of Payments; Payments. (a) Except as set forth in Section 4.13, each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentage or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 4.13, each payment (including each voluntary or mandatory prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata between each tranche of Term Loans according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans of such tranche in direct order of maturity (it being understood, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that 20172018 Converted Replacement Term B-23 Loans outstanding on the Subsequent ThirdFourth Amendment Effective Date immediately after the 20172018 Replacement Term B-23 Loan Conversion and immediately prior to the prepayment of 2017 Replacement Term B-2 Loans not subject to the 20172018 Replacement Term B-23 Loan Conversion with the Net Cash Proceeds of 20172018 New Replacement Term B-23 Loans shall not be subject to ratable prepayment on the Subsequent ThirdFourth Amendment Effective Date with Term Loans by operation of this proviso). Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

(89)

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. All such payments shall be made (i) in the same currency in which the applicable extension of credit was made (or where such currency has been converted to euro, in euro) and (ii) to the Administrative Agent at its Funding Office, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments denominated in the same currency received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.8, if, after the making of any Revolving Extension of Credit in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Revolving Extension of Credit was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Eurocurrency Revolving Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency). A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to

(90)

recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 4.8 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

4.9 Requirements of Law. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate) or any Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(91)

(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Increased costs because of a Change in Law resulting from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III may only be requested by a Lender imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower under syndicated credit facilities comparable to those provided hereunder.

4.10 Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section 4.10, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the reason for and amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such

(92)

Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.10, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) (i) Any Lender (including solely for purposes of this subparagraph (i) and Section 4.10(i) each Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.10(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, properly completed and duly executed copies

(93)

of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits,” “other income” or other article of such tax treaty;

(2) properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), properly completed and duly executed copies of any other form or document prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(94)

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party related to such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered pursuant to Section 4.10(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to Section 4.10(g) or this paragraph (i) that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(j) Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

4.11 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this

(95)

Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of, or a conversion from, Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) any other default by the Borrower in the repayment of such Eurocurrency Loans when and as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such indemnification may include an amount (other than with respect to clause (d)) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 4.11 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Tax that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

4.12 Change of Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.9, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.10, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

4.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.9, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.10 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.12, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, (i) prepay such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans in full on a non-pro rata basis without premium or penalty (other than any premium applicable under Section 4.1(b)), or (ii) at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.6) all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.9 or Section 4.10) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that, in the case of an assignment:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.6;

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.1(b), if applicable, and Section 4.11) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees and premiums) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(96)

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.9 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.10, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

4.14 Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), the assigning Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower), shall maintain the Register (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), a Related Party Register), in each case pursuant to Section 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time.

(c) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit E-1 or E-2, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

(d) On and after the Subsequent ThirdFourth Amendment Effective Date, each 20172018 Converting Replacement Term B-23 Loan Lender which holds a promissory note with respect to Term Loans shall be entitled to surrender such promissory note to the Borrower against delivery of a new promissory note with respect to its 20172018 Converted Replacement Term B-23 Loans, completed in conformity with this Section 4.14; provided that if any such promissory note is not so surrendered, then from and after the Subsequent ThirdFourth Amendment Effective Date, such promissory note shall be deemed to evidence the 20172018 Converted Replacement Term B-23 Loans into which the Term Loans theretofore evidenced by such promissory note have been converted.

8.16 Designation of Subsidiaries. The board of directors of the Borrower may, at any time from and after the Closing Date, designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 8.1 on a pro forma basis, (iii) no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it was previously designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (iv) if a Restricted Subsidiary is

(135)

being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary hereunder, such Restricted Subsidiary, together with all other Unrestricted Subsidiaries as of such date of designation, must not have contributed greater than the greater of (A) $50,000,000 and (B) 1.0% of Consolidated Total Tangible Assets (but, notwithstanding the definition of Consolidated Total Tangible Assets, calculated inclusive of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries), as of the last day of the Reference Period then most recently ended and (v) no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, upon the effectiveness of such designation, such Subsidiary is and would continue to be a restricted subsidiary under the terms of any Material Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Borrower’s or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s investment therein. None of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness that provides the holder thereof may (with the passage of time or notice or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness, Lien or other obligation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return on any Investment by the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the fair market value at the date of such designation of the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s Investment in such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrower nor any Designated IP Subsidiary shall be permitted to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(139)

Covenant Event of Default) that has occurred and is continuing, either or both of the following actions may be taken, as applicable: (A) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Revolving Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (B) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account subject to the security interest granted in favor of the Lenders opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the 105% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit.

After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).

(b) (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Financial Covenant Event of Default that is unwaived, the Majority Facility Lenders under the Revolving Facility may, immediately upon such breach (i) declare that such breach constitutes an Event of Default for Section 6.2 and (ii) either (A) terminate the Revolving Commitments and/or (B) take the actions specified in Section 9.3(a) in respect of the Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Loans and the L/C Obligations. In respect of a Financial Covenant Event of Default that is continuing, the Majority Facility Lenders under each Term Facility may declare the Term Loans thereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable on the date that the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility terminate the Revolving Commitments or accelerate all Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility; provided however, that the Majority Facility Lenders under each Term Facility may not take such actions as a result of a Financial Covenant Event of Default if either (1) all Obligations under the Revolving Facility have been repaid in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) and the Revolving Commitments have been terminated or (2) no actions have been taken to terminate the Revolving Commitments or accelerate the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility and the Financial Covenant Event of Default has been waived by the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility.

(c) (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(c) (solely with respect to any interest payment), the Collateral Agent shall promptly provide a Collateral Agent Payment Default Notice to the Escrow Agent.

Upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount specified in the Collateral Agent Payment Default Notice, the Event of Default under Section 9.1(c) shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents,

(140)

SECTION 10. THE AGENTS

10.1 Appointment. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) irrevocably authorizes such Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or other Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

10.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.2 and 11.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment;

(141)

(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent; and

(f) shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Secured Parties.

10.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender or any other Secured Party. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured

(142)

Party) represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any other Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

10.7 Indemnification. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.5 to be paid by it to any Agent Related Party (or any sub-agent thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that (a) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against any Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) and (b) no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense to the extent it has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (i) such Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Agent under the Loan Documents or (iii) any proceeding between and among Agent Related Parties that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (other than claims against the Administrative Agent or a Lead Arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the agent or arranger or any other similar role under the Facilities (excluding its role as a Lender). The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9 Successor Administrative Agent; Resignation of Issuing Lender. (a) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, respectively, upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders (which such successor agent shall be (i) a Lender or (ii) otherwise satisfactory to the Required Lenders), which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or

(143)

Section 9.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has been appointed and accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, their respective sub-agents and their respective Agent Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the final paragraph of Section 11.1) may by notice to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date ten (10) Business Days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed).

(c) In addition to the foregoing, if (i) a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, any Issuing Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuing Lender, effective at the close of business New York time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice) or (ii) DBNY resigns or is removed as Administrative Agent, such resignation or removal shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender; provided that such resignation by such Issuing Lender will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to such Issuing Lender and such Issuing Lender shall continue to be an Issuing Lender for the purposes of this Agreement in respect of such Letters of Credit.

10.10 Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their capacity as such.

10.11 Lender Action. Each Secured Party agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, the Specified Hedge Agreements or the Specified Cash Management Agreements (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceeds, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(144)

10.12 Withholding Taxes. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 4.10, each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.12. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

10.13 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.7, 3.3, 3.7 and 11.5 or otherwise) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Lenders to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.7, 3.3, 3.7 and 11.5 or otherwise.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Lender in any such proceeding.

(145)

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Capital Stock or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (i) to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Capital Stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.1 of this Agreement, (iii) to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Secured Parties, as a result of which each of the Secured Parties shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and, to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Acquisition Effective Date, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrower and the Lenders or other Persons providing the relevant Replacement Facility (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or any portion of (i) the outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with (A) a replacement term loan tranche under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”), which may be pari passu in right of payment and security with the Loans under this Agreement or, subject to Section 8.2(p), may be incurred in the form of Junior Indebtedness of the Borrower, or (B) one or more series of senior notes (“Refinancing Notes”), which Refinancing Notes may be in the form of Permitted Pari Passu Indebtedness or in the form of Second Lien Indebtedness or unsecured Indebtedness that, in each case constitutes Junior Indebtedness of the Borrower or (ii) the outstanding Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments (such refinanced Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, the “Refinanced Revolving Facility” and, together with any Refinanced Term Loans, Refinancing Notes, each a “Refinanced Facility” and, collectively, the “Refinanced Facilities”) with Refinancing Term Loans or a replacement revolving loan tranche of the Borrower (such replacement revolving loan tranche, “Refinancing Revolving Facility” and, together with any Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Notes, each a “Replacement Facility” and, collectively, the “Replacement Facilities”); provided that (A) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Facilities shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Facilities plus accrued interest, premiums, fees and expenses related thereto, (B) the maturity date for such Replacement Facilities shall not be earlier than the maturity date for the corresponding Refinanced Facilities, (C) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Facilities shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Facilities at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of any applicable Term Loans) (D) such Replacement Facility shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Loan Parties and shall not be secured by any property other than the Collateral, (E) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Facilities (other than pricing (including interest, fees and premiums) and optional prepayment or redemption terms which may be agreed to by the Borrower and Lenders party thereto) shall be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) not materially more favorable to the Lenders or other Persons providing such Replacement Facility than, those applicable to the applicable Refinanced Facility, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing or replacement, (F) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Facility, the Loan Documents shall include certain provisions to govern the pro rata payment, borrowing, participation and commitment reductions of the Revolving Facility and any such Refinancing Revolving Facility, (G) only Refinancing Term Loans that are pari passu in right of payment and security with the Term Loans shall share ratably in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Refinanced Term Loans unless the Borrower and the Lenders in respect of such Refinancing Term Loans elect lesser payments, and (H) any Refinanced Facility or issue of Refinancing Notes that is secured on a pari passu or junior basis with respect to the Facilities shall be subject to a customary Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders (including all Lenders under a single Facility), the consent of the Required Lenders (or Majority Facility Lenders, as the case may be) is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then a Person reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the

(149)

Administrative Agent shall have the right but not the obligation to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Borrower’s request, sell and assign to such Person, all of the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Term Loans and any outstanding Revolving Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale and any applicable prepayment premiums payable pursuant to Section 4.1(b), such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower may replace any Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 4.13.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated), modified or supplemented with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender, (b) to add one or more additional credit facilities with respect to Incremental Term Loans to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, as applicable, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (c) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders; provided that the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 are satisfied.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Majority Facility Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 11.1, any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lender, disproportionately affect such Defaulting Lender as compared to other Lenders holding the same Class of Loans, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (A) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (B) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute information covered by Section 11.15, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.15); (C) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (D) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”

NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and so long as the Commitments of any Lender have not been terminated.

11.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. (a) The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse each Agent for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to such parties (provided that such fees and disbursements shall not include fees and disbursements for more than

(152)

one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, one regulatory counsel in each applicable specialty, one local or foreign counsel for each relevant jurisdiction, one other counsel for all other Indemnitees (as defined below) and, in each case, if reasonably necessary or advisable in the judgment of the affected Person in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional regulatory counsel in each applicable specialty and one additional local or foreign counsel in each such applicable jurisdiction) and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter as such parties shall deem appropriate, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Lender and Agent for all its documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees, charges and disbursements of not more than one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, one regulatory counsel in each applicable specialty, one local or foreign counsel for each relevant jurisdiction, one other counsel for all other Indemnitees and, in each case, if reasonably necessary or advisable in the judgment of the affected Person in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional regulatory counsel in each applicable specialty and one additional local or foreign counsel in each such applicable jurisdiction, (iii) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and each Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes (other than amounts payable under Section 4.10(d)), if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (iv) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, Agent and their respective affiliates and each of the respective employees, officers, directors, agents, advisors and controlling persons of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (regardless of whether any Loan Party is or is not a party to any such actions or suits) and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or any violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of the Properties or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, one regulatory counsel in each applicable specialty, one local or foreign counsel for each relevant jurisdiction, one other counsel for all other Indemnitees and, in each case, if reasonably necessary or advisable in the judgment of the affected Person in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional regulatory counsel in each applicable specialty and one additional local or foreign counsel in each such applicable jurisdiction, in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (iv), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no Indemnitee will be indemnified for any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent (a) it has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents or (b) any proceeding between and among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (other than claims against the Administrative Agent or a Lead Arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the agent or arranger or any other similar role under the Facilities (excluding its role as a Lender)); provided further, that, this Section 11.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines,

(153)

liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee except to the extent found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be submitted to the Borrower, at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each of the Borrower and each Indemnitee does hereby waive, any claim against any party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any Loan Party’s indemnity obligations to the extent special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification hereunder. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(c) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except (A) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section or (B) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (e) of this Section or (C) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (h) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors as assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 11.6 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, an assignment effected by the Administrative Agent in connection with the initial syndication of the Commitments or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s

(154)

Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Facility (or, in the case of a Term Facility, $1,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches of Loans (if any) on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section and, in addition, the consent of:

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof or (z) such assignment is an assignment of Term Loans or Commitments made by the Administrative Agent prior to the Syndication Date; and

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of either (x) Term Facility if such assignment is to an Assignee that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (y) the Revolving Facility if such assignment is to an Assignee that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C) (1) in the case of any assignment to a new Revolving Lender or that increases the obligation of the Assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding), the Issuing Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of an Issuing Lender shall be required for an assignment to an Assignee that is a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Revolving Lender;

(iv) except in the case of assignments pursuant to paragraph (c) below, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (it being understood that payment of only one processing fee shall be required in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds), and the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire;

(155)

(v) no assignment shall be permitted to be made to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except pursuant to a Dutch Auction as provided in Section 11.6(j);

(vi) no assignment shall be permitted to be made to a natural person; and

(vii) no assignments of Revolving Commitments, other than (A) pursuant to Section 11.6(c) below to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender or (B) pursuant to the initial syndication of the Revolving Commitments by the Lead Arrangers, shall be permitted prior to the Acquisition Effective Date.

Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) below, subject to acceptance and recording thereof in the Register pursuant to paragraph (d) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5); provided that such Lender continues to comply with the requirements of Section 4.10(g). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with and subject to the requirements of paragraph (e) of this Section.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.6 to the contrary, but subject to recording thereof in the applicable Related-Party Register pursuant to paragraph (d) below, a Lender may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender without (i) providing any notice (including, without limitation, any administrative questionnaire) to the Administrative Agent or any other Person or (ii) delivering an executed Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent; provided that (A) such assigning Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (B) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender in connection with such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement until an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (C) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver an Assignment and Assumption or administrative questionnaire to the Administrative Agent or any other Person shall not affect the legality, validity or binding effect of such assignment and (D) an Assignment and Assumption between an assigning Lender and its Affiliate or Approved Fund shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Assumption.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Funding Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by

(156)

the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund pursuant to paragraph (c), as to which an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register (a “Related Party Register”) comparable to the Register on behalf of the Borrower. The Register or Related Party Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and any Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) above, upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register (or, in the case of an assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the applicable Related Party Register) as provided in this paragraph (d). The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.”

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) no participation shall be permitted to be made to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any officer or director of any such Person and (v) no sale of a participation shall be effective until and unless recorded in the selling Lender’s Participant Register. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Each Lender that sells participations to a Participant, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amount of and interest owing with respect to the participation sold to each such Participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Section 1.871-14(c)(1) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(157)

(g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.9 or 4.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant had no such participation been transferred to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.10(g) and (i) as if it were a Lender.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other Person, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest or to any such sale or securitization; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) [Reserved].

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Term Lender may, at any time after the Acquisition Effective Date, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis to the Borrower in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit J, pursuant to an offer at a discount to par made available to all Term Lenders on a pro rata basis (a “Dutch Auction”), subject to the following limitations:

(i) The Borrower shall represent and warrant, as of the date of the launch of the Dutch Auction and on the date of any such assignment, that neither it, its Affiliates nor any of its respective directors or officers has any Excluded Information that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than to the extent any such Term Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) prior to such date;

(ii) immediately and automatically, without any further action on the part of the Borrower, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, upon the effectiveness of such assignment of Term Loans from a Term Lender to the Borrower, such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Term Lender related thereto shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Term Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment;

(iii) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans for any such assignment; and

(iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before or immediately after giving effect to such assignment.

(k) With respect to any proposed assignment or participation for a Disqualified Institution:

(158)

(i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender. Any assignment in violation of this clause (k)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (k) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.6), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter.

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same and/or (C) upon request by and Lender, confirm whether or not any potential assignee is listed on the DQ List.

(159)

11.7 Sharing of Payments; Set-off . (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section 11.7.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, subject to Section 10.11, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic mail (in “.pdf” or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

11.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(160)

11.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

11.13 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(162)

11.16 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

(163)

11.19 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “Specified Currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the Specified Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency. If the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the Specified Currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the Specified Currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 4.8, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

11.20 Intercreditor Agreements.

(a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS MAY BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL (OR ANY PORTION THEREOF) IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER’S INCURRENCE OF ANY REFINANCED FACILITY, REFINANCING NOTES, REPLACEMENT FACILITY, PERMITTED PARI PASSU INDEBTEDNESS OR SECOND LIEN INDEBTEDNESS PERMITTED HEREUNDER, WHICH LIENS, IN EACH CASE, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. THE EXPRESS TERMS OF ANY SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL PROVIDE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, ON THE ONE HAND, AND ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO ANY SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE AMENDMENTS THERETO AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT.

SECTION 12. Applicability of Covenants; Enforcement

(a) From the Closing Date until the Acquisition Effective Date, the only covenants applicable to the Borrower under Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall be the following: Section 7.4 (as it relates to the Borrower’s legal existence), Section 7.9 and Section 7.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries take any action or inaction, during the period from the Closing Date until the Acquisition Effective Date, that is prohibited from being taken by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries by Section 7 or Section 8, and such action or inaction is continuing as of the Acquisition Effective Date, an Event of Default shall be deemed to exist immediately after giving effect to and as of the Acquisition Effective Date; provided that (i) no action or inaction taken or omitted by the Target or any of its subsidiaries at any time prior to the Acquisition Effective Date (other than an action or inaction that would require or permit the Borrower to terminate the Acquisition Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition) shall constitute a breach

(164)

of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or shall otherwise constitute an Event of Default and (ii) for purposes of determining retroactive compliance with the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 under this Section 12, the terms “Restricted Subsidiary,” “Loan Party,” “Subsidiary Guarantor” and other terms that are defined with reference to a Person signing a Loan Document, shall, on and immediately after giving effect to the Acquisition Effective Date, include the Borrower’s Subsidiaries to the extent any such Subsidiary is, immediately after giving effect to the Acquisition Effective Date, a Restricted Subsidiary, Loan Party, Subsidiary Guarantor or similar applicable designation. In addition, the absence of an Event of Default shall not be an Escrow Condition that must be satisfied or waived in order for the Escrow Property to be released from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement or Section 3(b) of the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it will not deliver any entitlement order or instruction to the Escrow Agent other than (1) on or after the Escrow Conditions Deadline if the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 have not been satisfied on or prior to such date or (2) at any time an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.1(c) shall have occurred and be continuing.

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated May 11, 2018 (the “Agreement”), between Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (the “Company”), with offices at 5005 East McDowell Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85008, and Vince Hopkin (the “Executive”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Executive has been employed by the Company in a key officer position at the Company since March 17, 2008, when ON Semiconductor Corporation acquired AMIS Holdings, Inc.;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Executive’s employment, the Executive and Company executed a Key Officer and Severance and Change of Control Agreement, dated June 1, 2017 (the “Severance and CoC Agreement”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Executive’s Promotion (as defined below), the Executive and the Company will enter into this Agreement which will supersede and fully substitute the Severance and CoC Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1.     Employment, Duties and Agreements.

(a)    The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive via a promotion (the “Promotion”) as its Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Analog Solutions Group effective May 11, 2018, and the Executive hereby accepts such positions and agrees to serve the Company in such capacity during the employment period described in Section 3 hereof (the “Employment Period”). The Executive shall report to the Office of the Chief Executive Officer (the “Office of the CEO”) of the Company and shall have such duties and responsibilities as the Office of the CEO may reasonably determine from time to time as are consistent with the Executive’s position as Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Analog Solutions Group. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be subject to, and shall act in accordance with, all reasonable instructions and directions of the Office of the CEO and all applicable policies and rules of the Company.

(b)    During the Employment Period, excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive shall devote his full working time, energy and attention to the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder and shall faithfully and diligently endeavor to promote the business and best interests of the Company.

(c)    During the Employment Period, the Executive may not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, operate, participate in the management, operations or control of, or act as an executive, officer, consultant, agent or representative of, any type of business or service (other than as an executive of the Company), provided that it shall not be a violation of the foregoing for the Executive to manage his personal, financial and legal affairs so long as such activities do not interfere with the performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company as provided hereunder.

2.    Compensation.

(a)     As compensation for the agreements made by the Executive herein and the performance by the Executive of his obligations hereunder, during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay the Executive, pursuant to the Company’s normal and customary payroll procedures, a base salary at the rate

1

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

of $382,000 per annum (the “Base Salary”). The Board of Directors of the Company and/or its Compensation Committee (both or either herein may be referred to as the “Board”) shall review the Executive’s Base Salary from time to time.

(b)     In addition to the Base Salary, during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in a discretionary bonus program established and approved by the Board for employees of the Company or its affiliates in similar positions to the Executive (the “Program”) and, pursuant to the Program, the Executive may earn a bonus (the “Bonus”) on an annual or other performance period basis (a “Performance Cycle”) up to 70% of Base Salary earned and paid during the applicable Performance Cycle or an additional amount as approved by the Board under the Program and in each case based on certain performance criteria; provided that the Executive is actively employed by the Company on the date the Bonuses are paid under the Program, except as provided in Section 5(a) herein. The Bonus may be paid annually or more frequently depending upon the Performance Cycle, as determined by the Board and pursuant to the Program. The Bonus will be specified by the Board, and the Bonus will be reviewed at least annually by the Board.

(c)     During the Employment Period: (i) except as specifically provided herein, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs of the Company which are made available generally to other senior executive officers of the Company; and (ii) except as specifically provided herein, the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in, and shall receive all benefits under, all welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company which are made available generally to other senior executive officers of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, such plans, practices, policies or programs shall not include any plan, practice, policy or program which provides benefits in the nature of severance or continuation pay).

(d)     During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide the Executive with a car allowance of $1,200 per month.

(e)     During the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse the Executive up to $10,000 annually for actual financial planning expenses, without any tax gross-ups.

(f)     During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to at least four (4) weeks of paid vacation time for each calendar year in accordance with the Company’s normal and customary policies and procedures now in force or as such policies and procedures may be modified with respect to senior executive officers of the Company.

(g)     During the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable business expenses upon the presentation of statements of such expenses in accordance with the Company’s normal and customary policies and procedures now in force or as such policies and procedures may be modified with respect to senior executive officers of the Company.

3.    Employment Period.

The Company shall employ Executive on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement commencing as of the date of the execution of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”). Executive shall be considered an “at-will” employee, which means that Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company or by the Executive at any time for any reason or no reason at all. The period during which Executive is employed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to as the “Employment Period.” The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Employment Period upon the earliest to occur of the following events (at which time the Employment Period shall be terminated):

(a)    Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

2

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

(b)    Disability. The Company shall be entitled to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for “Disability” if, as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury, after any accommodation required by law, the Executive shall have been unable to perform his duties hereunder for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days, and within thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 4 below) for Disability is given following such 90-day period the Executive shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis.

(c)    Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean: (i) a material breach by the Executive of this Agreement; (ii) the failure by the Executive to reasonably and substantially perform his duties hereunder (other than as a result of physical or mental illness or injury); (iii) the Executive’s willful misconduct or gross negligence which is materially injurious to the Company; and (iv) the commission by the Executive of a felony or other serious crime involving moral turpitude. In the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Company shall provide notice to the Executive indicating in reasonable detail the events or circumstances that it believes constitute Cause hereunder and, if such breach or failure is reasonably susceptible to cure, provide the Executive with a reasonable period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) to cure such breach or failure. If, subsequent to the Executive’s termination of employment hereunder for other than Cause, it is determined in good faith by the Board that the Executive’s employment could have been terminated for Cause (except for a termination under (ii) of the above definition of Cause), the Executive’s employment shall, at the election of the Board, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause retroactively to the date the events giving rise to Cause occurred.

(d)    Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder during the Employment Period without Cause.

(e)    Voluntarily. The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment hereunder (other than for Good Reason), provided that the Executive provides the Company with notice of his intent to terminate his employment at least three months in advance of the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 4 below).

(f)    For Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason and any such termination shall be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: (i) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company; (ii) without the Executive’s written consent, reducing the Executive’s salary, as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, while at the same time not proportionately reducing the salaries of the other comparable officers of the Company; or (iii) without the Executive’s written consent, a material and continued diminution of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, unless the Executive is provided with comparable duties and responsibilities in a comparable position (i.e., a position of equal or greater duties and responsibilities); provided that in either (i), (ii), or (iii) above, the Executive shall notify the Company within thirty (30) days after the event or events which the Executive believes constitute Good Reason hereunder and shall describe in such notice in reasonable detail such event or events and provide the Company a thirty (30) day period after delivery of such notice to cure such breach or diminution.

4.    Termination Procedure.

(a)    Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive during the Employment Period (other than a termination on account of the death of Executive) shall be communicated by written “Notice of Termination” to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 11(a).

3

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

(b)    Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 3(b), thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination, provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder on a full-time basis within such thirty (30) day period; (iii) if the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment, the date specified in the notice given pursuant to Section 3(e) herein which shall not be less than three months after the Notice of Termination is delivered to the Company; (iv) if the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3(f) herein, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination; and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or any later date (within thirty (30) days, or any alternative time period agreed upon by the parties, after the giving of such notice) set forth in such Notice of Termination.

5.    Termination Payments.

(a)    Without Cause. In the event of the termination of the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period by the Company without Cause (including a deemed termination without Cause as provided in Section 3(f) herein), the Executive shall be entitled to: (i) any accrued but unused vacation; (ii) Base Salary through the Date of Termination (to the extent not theretofore paid); (iii) the continuation of Base Salary (as in effect immediately prior to the termination) for twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination which, subject to the restrictions set forth below, shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s ordinary payroll practices in effect from time to time and which shall begin on the first payroll period immediately following the date on which the general release and waiver described below in this Section 5(a) becomes irrevocable; (iv) any earned but not paid Bonus for the Performance Cycle immediately preceding the Date of Termination; and (v) a pro-rata portion of the Bonus, if any, for the Performance Cycle in which the Date of Termination occurs (based on the achievement of the applicable performance criteria and related to the applicable Performance Cycle as described in Section 2(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of payment set forth in (iii) above during the six-month period following the Date of Termination shall not exceed the severance pay exception limitation amount set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A) (any amount that is payable during such six-month period that is in excess of the separation pay exception limitation shall be paid in a single lump sum on the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination). If the Company determines in good faith that the separation pay exception set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) does not apply as of the Date of Termination, the amount set forth in (iii) above shall be paid (a) in an initial lump sum equal to six months’ base salary (net of applicable taxes and withholdings) on the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination and (b) thereafter in installments in accordance with the Company’s ordinary payroll practices. The amounts set forth in (i) and (ii) above, shall be paid in accordance with applicable law on the Date of Termination. The amounts set forth in (iv) and (v) above shall be paid as soon as is reasonably practicable after the close of the accounting books and records of the Company for the relevant performance period at the same time bonuses are paid to other active employees, but in no event will payment be made for any performance period ending on December 31 before January 1 or after March 15 of the year following the year in which the performance period ends. If payment by such date is administratively impracticable, payment may be made at a later date as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii). In addition, in the event of a termination by the Company without Cause under this Section 5(a) (including a deemed termination without Cause as provided in Section 3(f) herein): (1) if the Executive elects to continue the Company’s group health plans pursuant to his rights under COBRA, the Company shall pay the Executive’s COBRA continuation premiums until the earlier of (x) the date the Executive receives group health benefits from another employer or (y) the one-year anniversary of the Date of Termination; and (2) the Company will provide the Executive with outplacement services from vendors designated by the Company for a period of six (6) months following the Date of Termination, at a cost not to exceed $5,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to receive the termination related payments and benefits described in this Section 5, within the time periods described below, the Executive must execute (and not revoke) a general release and waiver

4

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

(in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company) waiving all claims the Executive may have against the Company, its affiliates (including, without limitation, Parent (as defined below)), successors, assigns, executives, officers and directors, and others. The release shall be provided to the Executive on or before the date that is five (5) days following the Date of Termination and the Executive shall have twenty-one (21) days following the date on which the release is given to the Executive to sign and return the release to the Company. The release must be executed and returned to the Company within the time period described in the release and it must not be revoked by the Executive during the seven (7) day revocation period that will be described in the release. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company concludes that the severance payments described in Section 5(a) constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations, and if the consideration period that will be described in the release, plus the seven (7) day revocation period that will be described in the release, spans two (2) calendar years, the severance payments shall not begin until the second calendar year. Except as provided in this Section 5(a), the Company shall have no additional obligations under this Agreement.

(b)    Cause, Disability, Death or Voluntarily other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Period by: (i) the Company for Cause; (ii) voluntarily by the Executive other than for Good Reason; or (iii) as a result of the Executive’s death or Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination the Executive’s accrued but unused vacation and his Base Salary through the Date of Termination (to the extent not theretofore paid). Except as provided in this Section 5(b), the Company shall have no additional obligations under this Agreement.

(c)    Change in Control. If within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control (as defined herein), (i) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or (ii) the Executive terminates employment with the Company for Good Reason, then, in addition to all of the benefits provided to the Executive under Section 5(a) of this Agreement, notwithstanding any provision in any applicable option grant agreement or restricted stock unit award agreement where the award vests based solely on the passage of time between the Company (or Parent (as defined below)) and the Executive: (i) any outstanding but unvested options and any restricted stock units where the award vests based solely on the passage of time granted on or prior to the Effective Date and any unvested options and/or restricted stock units granted in connection with the Executive’s Promotion shall fully vest upon the Date of Termination; and (ii) all options (both vested and unvested) granted on or prior to the Effective Date or in connection with the Executive’s Promotion will remain fully exercisable until the first to occur of (1) the one-year anniversary of the Date of Termination, and (2) either the tenth anniversary or the seventh anniversary of the grant date of such options, depending upon what the relevant option grant agreement specify with regard to an option’s term or expiration date; provided, however, that if the Company determines in good faith that the extension of the option’s exercise period results in the options being considered non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), such extension shall not take effect. In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to the total target Bonus (as defined above) under the Bonus Program in effect as of the Date of Termination; provided that if Bonuses are paid semi-annually as of the Date of Termination the Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to two (2) times the total target Bonus for the Performance Cycle in which the Date of Termination occurs, with such amount paid as soon as is reasonably practicable after the close of the accounting books and records of the Company for the relevant Performance Cycle at the same time bonuses are paid to other active employees, but in no event will payment be made for any Performance Cycle ending on December 31 before January 1 or after March 15 of the year following the year in which the Performance Cycle ends. If payment by such date is administratively impracticable, payment may be made at a later date as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the ON Semiconductor Corporation Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time-to-time. For the avoidance of doubt, the equity

5

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

award vesting provisions described in this Section 5(c) do not apply to performance-based restricted stock or performance-based restricted stock unit awards and such awards shall continue to be governed by the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time and any other related equity grant or award agreement document.

6.    Legal Fees.

In the event of any contest or dispute between the Company and the Executive with respect to this Agreement or the Executive’s employment hereunder, each of the parties shall be responsible for their respective legal fees and expenses.

7.    Non-Solicitation.

The Executive recognizes that the Company’s employees are a valuable asset to the Company and represent a substantial investment of Company time and resources. Accordingly, during the Employment Period and for one (1) year thereafter, the Executive hereby agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or assist any other person or entity in soliciting any employee of ON Semiconductor Corporation (the “Parent”), the Company or any of their subsidiaries to perform services for any entity (other than the Parent, the Company or their subsidiaries), or attempt to induce any such employee to leave the employment of the Parent, the Company or their subsidiaries.

8.    Confidentiality; Non-Compete; Non-Disclosure; Non-Disparagement.

(a)    During the Employment Period and thereafter, the Executive shall hold in strict confidence any proprietary or Confidential Information related to the Parent, the Company and their affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information of the Parent, the Company or any of their affiliates (in whatever form) which is not generally known to the public, including without limitation any inventions, processes, methods of distribution, customer lists or customers’ or trade secrets. “Confidential Information” does not include information that: (i) is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the Executive; (ii) is already known to the Executive and has been identified by the Executive to the Company in writing prior to the commencement of the Executive’s employment with Company; or (iii) is subsequently lawfully received by the Executive from a third party not subject to confidentiality restrictions.

(b)    During the Executive’s employment with Company, and at all times thereafter, the Executive will (i) keep confidential and not divulge, furnish or make accessible to any person any Confidential Information; and (ii) use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing the Executive’s duties of employment and not for the Executive’s own benefit or the benefit of any other Person. Promptly after the Date of Termination, or at any time upon request by Company, the Executive shall return to Company any Confidential Information (in hard copy and electronic formats) in the Executive’s possession.

(c)    With the limited exceptions noted below, the Executive shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to the extent, but only to the extent, (i) Company provides its express prior written consent to such disclosure; (ii) it is necessary to perform the duties of the Executive’s employment; or (iii) as required by law; provided, that prior to making any disclosure of Confidential Information required by law (whether pursuant to a subpoena, government investigative demand, or other similar process), the Executive must notify Company of the Executive’s intent to make such disclosure, so that Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and may participate with the Executive in determining the amount and type of Confidential Information, if any, which must be disclosed to comply with applicable law.

6

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

(d)    There are limited exceptions to the above confidentiality requirement if the Executive 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 Agreement does not limit the Executive’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 Agreement shall prevent the Executive from the disclosure of 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 Executive files a lawsuit alleging retaliation by Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose Confidential Information or trade secrets related to the suspected violation of law or alleged retaliation to the Executive’s attorney and use the Confidential Information or trade secrets in the court proceeding if the Executive or the Executive’s attorney: (i) files any document containing Confidential Information or trade secrets under seal; and (ii) does not disclose Confidential Information or trade secrets, except pursuant to court order. The Company provides this notice in compliance with, among other laws, the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016.

(e)    The Executive and the Company agree that the Parent, the Company, and their affiliates would likely suffer significant harm from the Executive competing with any or all of the Parent, the Company or their affiliates for a certain period of time after the Date of Termination. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not, for a period of one (1) year following the Date of Termination, directly or indirectly, become employed by, engage in business with, serve as an agent or consultant to, become a partner, member, principal, stockholder or other owner (other than a holder of less than 1% of the outstanding voting shares of any publicly held company) of, or otherwise perform services for (whether or not for compensation) any Competitive Business (as defined below) in or from any location in the United States (the “Restricted Territory”); provided, however, that if (and only if) required by a court of competent jurisdiction for the provisions of this section to remain valid and enforceable against the Executive, the Restricted Territory means the state of Arizona. For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitive Business” shall mean any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, unincorporated organization, trust or joint venture, or government agency or political subdivision thereof that is engaged in, or otherwise competes or has demonstrated a potential for competing with the Business (as defined below) for customers of the Company or its affiliates anywhere in the world. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business” shall mean the design, marketing and sale of semiconductors in the power, analog, digital signal processing, mixed signal, advanced logic, discrete and custom devices, data management semiconductors, memory and standard semiconductor components and integrated circuits offered by any or all of the Parent, the Company or their affiliates for use in electronic products, appliances and automobiles, computing, consumer and industrial electronics, wireless communications, networking, military and aerospace and medical end-user markets.

(f)     Upon the termination of the Employment Period, the Executive shall not take, without the prior written consent of the Company, any drawing, blueprint, specification or other document (in whatever form) of the Parent, the Company or their affiliates, which is of a confidential nature relating to the Parent, the Company or their affiliates, or, without limitation, relating to any of their methods of distribution, or any description of any formulas or secret processes and will return any such information (in whatever form) then in the Executive’s possession.

(g)    During the Employment Period and at all times thereafter, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not make (or cause or encourage others to make) statements that unlawfully defame or disparage the Parent, the Company, their affiliates and their officers, directors, members or executives.

7

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

The Executive hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company in refuting any defamatory or disparaging remarks by any third party made in respect of the Parent, the Company, their affiliates or their directors, members, officers or executives.

9.    Injunctive Relief.

It is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to the Company in the event that the Executive breaches any of the restrictive covenants provided in Sections 7 and 8 hereof. In the event that the Executive breaches any such restrictive covenant, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive from violating such restrictive covenant (without posting any bond or other security). If the Company shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce any such restrictive covenant, the Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law and agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law. The foregoing shall not prejudice the Company’s right to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company, and the Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over, the compensation, profits, monies, accruals or other benefits derived or received by the Executive as a result of any transaction constituting a breach of any of the restrictive covenants provided in Sections 7 or 8 hereof. If the Executive is in breach of any of the provisions of Section 7 or 8 above, then the time periods set forth in Sections 7 or 8 will be extended by the length of time during which the Executive is in breach of any of such provisions.

10.    Representations.

(a)    The parties hereto hereby represent that they each have the authority to enter into this Agreement, and the Executive hereby represents to the Company that the execution of, and performance of duties under, this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of or otherwise violate any other agreement to which the Executive is a party.

(b)    The Executive hereby represents to the Company that he will not utilize or disclose any confidential information obtained by the Executive in connection with his former employment with respect to this duties and responsibilities hereunder.

11.    Miscellaneous.

(a)    Any notice or other communication required or permitted under this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and shall be deemed to be given when delivered personally or four days after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or one day after it is sent by a reputable overnight courier service and, in each case, addressed as follows (or if it is sent through any other method agreed upon by the parties):

If to the Company:

Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC

Attention: General Counsel

5005 East McDowell Road

If to the Executive, to the address for the Executive on file with the Company at the time of the notice,

or to such other address as any party hereto may designate by notice to the others.

8

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

(b)    This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the Executive’s employment hereunder, and supersedes and is in full substitution for any and all prior understandings or agreements with respect to the Executive’s employment including, but not limited to, the Severance and CoC Agreement (it being understood that, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, stock options and restricted stock units awards granted to the Executive shall be governed by the relevant plan and any other related grant or award agreement and any other related documents).

(c)    This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto, and any provision hereof may be waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought. The failure of any party hereto at any time to require the performance by any other party hereto of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself or a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.

(d)    The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each party has reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and has had the opportunity to contribute to its revision. Accordingly, the rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. Rather, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to both parties hereto and not in favor or against either party.

(e)    (i) This Agreement is binding on and is for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned by the Executive.

(ii) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in the Agreement, the “Company” shall mean both the Company as defined above and any such successor that assumes this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(f)    Any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this Section, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable. No waiver of any provision or violation of this Agreement by Company shall be implied by Company’s forbearance or failure to take action.

(g)    The Company may withhold from any amounts payable to the Executive hereunder all federal, state, city or other taxes that the Company may reasonably determine are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, (it being understood, that the Executive shall be responsible for payment of all taxes in respect of the payments and benefits provided herein).

(h)    The payments and other consideration to the Executive under this Agreement shall be made without right of offset.

9

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

(i)    (i) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, no amount payable pursuant to this Agreement on account of the Executive’s termination of employment which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A Regulations”) shall be paid unless and until the Executive has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations. Furthermore, to the extent that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations as of the date of the Executive’s separation from service, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation that is payable on account of the Executive’s separation from service shall be paid to the Executive before the date (“Delayed Payment Date”) which is the first day of the seventh month after the date of the Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death following such separation from service. All such amounts that would, but for this subsection, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.

(ii) The Company intends that income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will not be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in favor of satisfying any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Section 409A Regulations. However, the Company does not guarantee any particular tax effect for income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. In any event, except for the Company’s responsibility to withhold applicable income and employment taxes from compensation paid or provided to the Executive, the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes on compensation paid or provided to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Agreement or any benefit paid to Executive hereunder is deemed to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Executive consents to the Company adopting such conforming amendments as the Company deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to comply with Section 409A, without reducing the amounts of any benefits due to the Executive hereunder.

(j)    By signing this Agreement, the Executive agrees to be bound by, and comply with the terms of the compensation recovery policy or policies (and related practices) of the Company or its affiliates as such may be in effect from time-to-time.

(k)    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

(l)    This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(m)    The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be a part of or control or affect the meaning of any provision hereof.

12.    Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

(a)    Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code may place significant tax burdens on both the Executive and the Company if the total payments made to the Executive due to certain change in control events described in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Total Change in Control Payments”) equal or exceed the Executive’s 280G Cap. For this purpose, the Executive’s “280G Cap” is equal to the Executive’s average annual compensation in the five (5) calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the change in control event occurs (the “Base Period Income Amount”) times three (3). If the Total Change in Control Payments equal or exceed the 280G Cap, Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a 20% excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) on all amounts in excess of one (1) times the Executive’s Base Period Income Amount. In determining whether the Total Change in Control Payments will equal or exceed the 280G Cap and result in the imposition of an Excise Tax, the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations will

10

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

control over the general provisions of this Section 12. All determinations and calculations required to implement the rules set forth in this Section 12 shall take into account all applicable federal, state, and local income taxes and employment taxes (and for purposes of such calculations, the Executive shall be deemed to pay income taxes at the highest combined federal, state and local marginal tax rates for the calendar year in which the Total Change in Control Payments are to be made, less the maximum federal income tax deduction that could be obtained as a result of a deduction for state and local taxes (the “Assumed Taxes”)).

(b)    Subject to the “best net” exception described in Section 12(c), in order to avoid the imposition of the Excise Tax, the total payments to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid equaling or exceeding the 280G Cap, with such reduction first applied to the cash severance payments that the Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement and thereafter applied in a manner that will not subject the Executive to tax and penalties under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

(c)    If the Executive’s Total Change in Control Payments minus the Excise Tax and the Assumed Taxes (payable with respect to the amount of the Total Change in Control Payments) exceeds the 280G Cap minus the Assumed Taxes (payable with respect to the amount of the 280G Cap), then the total payments to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise will not be reduced pursuant to Section 12(b). If this “best net” exception applies, the Executive shall be fully responsible for paying any Excise Tax (and income or other taxes) that may be imposed on the Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise.

(d)    The Company will engage a law firm, a certified public accounting firm, and/or a firm of reputable executive compensation consultants (the “Consultant”) to make any necessary determinations and to perform any necessary calculations required in order to implement the rules set forth in this Section 12. The Consultant shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive and all fees and expenses of the Consultant shall be borne by the Company. If the provisions of Section 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code are repealed without succession, this Section 12 shall be of no further force or effect. In addition, if this provision does not apply to the Executive for whatever reason, this Section shall be of no further force or effect.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Background and Basis of Presentation

Note 1: Background and Basis of Presentation

ON Semiconductor Corporation, together with its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries ("ON Semiconductor" or the "Company"), uses a thirteen-week fiscal quarter accounting period for the first three fiscal quarters of each year, with the second quarter of 2018 having ended on June 29, 2018, and each fiscal year ending on December 31. The quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 each contained 91 days. The six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 contained 180 and 181 days, respectively. During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the Company changed the name of one of its operating and reporting segments from Image Sensor Group to Intelligent Sensing Group. As of June 29, 2018, the Company was organized into the following three operating and reporting segments: the Power Solutions Group, theAnalog Solutions Group and the Intelligent Sensing Group. Additional details on the Company’s operating and reporting segments are included in Note 2: ''Revenue and Segment Information.''

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for unaudited interim financial information. Accordingly, the unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the Company's audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, the interim information includes all adjustments, which includes normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The footnote disclosures related to the interim financial information included herein are also unaudited. Such financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018 (the “2017 Form 10-K”). Financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

Adoption of New Revenue Standard

On January 1, 2018, as required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), ASU No. 2015-14 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date ("ASU 2015-14"), ASU No. 2016-08 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations ("ASU 2016-08"), ASU No. 2016-10 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ("ASU 2016-10"), ASU No. 2016-12 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU 2016-12") and ASU No. 2016-20 - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ("ASU 2016-20") (collectively “the New Revenue Standard”). To conform to the New Revenue Standard, the Company modified its revenue recognition policy as described below.

Change in Accounting Policy

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the New Revenue Standard using the modified retrospective method, applying the guidance to all open contracts and recognized the cumulative effect adjustment of $2.1 million to retained earnings and accrued expenses as of that date. The comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be presented under the accounting standards in effect for the respective periods. The Company applied the practical expedient and has not disclosed the revenues allocated to future shipments of partially completed contracts.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues continue to be recognized following the transfer of control of the products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Under the New Revenue Standard, revenues from certain product development agreements, which were previously deferred as delivered, are now recognized over time.

During the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, revenues increased by $1.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, due to the impact of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard.

Revenue Recognition Policy

In anticipation of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company developed its internal systems, processes and controls to enable it to make the estimates required by the New Revenue Standard on sales to its distributors and was able to reliably estimate upfront the effects of returns and allowances and record revenues at the time of shipments to these distributors. Prior to this, the Company recognized revenues from distributors under the sell-through method as it did not have the ability to estimate the effects of returns and allowances. As a result of this change, the Company recognized an additional $155.1 million in revenues during the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in an increase of $59.0 million to income before income taxes.

The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to OEMs, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. The Company also generates revenue, to a much lesser extent, from product development agreements and manufacturing services provided to customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. For sales agreements, the Company has identified the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the performance obligation. For product development agreements, the Company has identified the completion of a service defined in the agreement to be the performance obligation. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

Sales agreements with customers are renewable periodically and contain terms and conditions with respect to payment, delivery, warranty and supply, but typically do not require minimum purchase commitments. In the absence of a sales agreement, the Company’s standard terms and conditions apply. The Company considers the customer purchase orders, governed by sales agreements or the Company’s standard terms and conditions, to be the contract with the customer. The Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk).

Most of the Company’s OEM customers negotiate pricing terms on an annual basis, while the electronic manufacturer service providers and distributors generally negotiate pricing terms on a quarterly basis. Pricing terms on product development agreements are negotiated at the beginning of a project. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative stand-alone selling price.

In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company’s OEM customers do not have the right to return products, other than pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s standard warranty. Sales to distributors, however, are typically made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products, referred to as stock rotation. Sales to distributors can also be subject to price adjustment on certain products, primarily for distributors with ship and credit rights. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days. In addition, the Company offers cash discounts to certain customers for payments received within an agreed upon time, generally 10 days after shipment.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue from sales agreements upon transferring control of a product to the customer. This typically occurs when products are shipped or delivered, depending on the delivery terms, or when products that are consigned at customer locations are consumed. The Company recognizes revenue from product development agreements over time based on the cost-to-cost method. Revenues recognized during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, for sales agreements was $1,447.9 million and $2,820.7 million, respectively, and for product development agreements was $8.0 million and $12.8 million, respectively. Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, ship and credit claims and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. For returns, the Company recognizes a related asset for the right to recover returned products with a corresponding reduction to cost of goods sold. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activity and records provisions, as necessary. The Company records a reserve for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on the experience with each customer.

Frequently, the Company receives orders with multiple delivery dates that may extend across reporting periods. Since each delivery constitutes a performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling price of the products. The Company invoices the customer for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes revenue in accordance with delivery terms. As scheduled delivery dates are within one year, revenue allocated to future shipments of partially completed contracts are not disclosed.

The Company has elected to record freight and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer as a fulfillment cost and include it in cost of revenues. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value-added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The Company generally warrants that products sold to its customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to specifications. The Company’s standard warranty extends for a period of two years from the date of delivery, except in the case of image sensor products, which are warrantied for one year from the date of delivery. At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with its sales and records them as a component of the cost of revenues.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases its estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) estimates of future payouts for customer incentives and estimates of amounts subject to allowances, returns and warranties; (ii) measurement of valuation allowances relating to inventories and trade receivables; (iii) future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, if applicable; (iv) assumptions surrounding future pension obligations; (v) fair values of share-based compensation and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); (vi) measurement of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, evaluations of uncertain tax positions and the impact of U.S. tax reform; and (vii) estimates and assumptions used in connection with business combinations. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Foreign Currencies

Most of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries conduct business primarily in U.S. dollars and, as a result, utilize the dollar as their functional currency. For the remeasurement of financial statements of these subsidiaries, assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are receivable or payable in cash are remeasured at current exchange rates, while inventories and other non-monetary assets in foreign currencies are remeasured at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of such financial statements are included in the operating results, as are gains and losses incurred on foreign currency transactions.

Historically, the majority of the Company’s Japanese subsidiaries utilized Japanese Yen as their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates in effect for the period. The related translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income or loss within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As a result of an analysis which took into account the economic indicators of these subsidiaries from a long-term perspective, the Company changed the functional currency for some of these subsidiaries from Japanese Yen to U.S. dollars effective as of January 1, 2018.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Revenue and Segment Information

Note 2: Revenue and Segment Information

The Company is organized into three operating and reporting segments consisting of the Power Solutions Group, the Analog Solutions Group and the Intelligent Sensing Group. Each of the Company’s major product lines has been examined and assigned to a reporting segment based on the Company’s operating strategy. Because many products are sold into different end-markets, the total revenues reported for a segment is not indicative of actual sales in the end-market associated with that segment, but rather is the sum of the revenues from the product lines assigned to that segment. These segments represent the Company’s view of the business and as such are used to evaluate progress of major initiatives and allocation of resources.

Revenues and gross profit for the Company’s operating and reporting segments were as follows (in millions):

	Power Solutions Group		Analog Solutions Group		Intelligent Sensing Group		Total

The Company operates in various geographic locations. Sales to unaffiliated customers have little correlation with the location of manufacturers. It is, therefore, not meaningful to present operating profit by geographical location.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASUs Adopted:

New Revenue Standard

The Company adopted the New Revenue Standard on a modified retrospective basis on January 1, 2018. The cumulative-effect adjustment related to the timing of revenue recognition on certain product development agreements recorded to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, was $2.1 million. The Company expects the ongoing impact of the New Revenue Standard to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-09 - Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09")

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 to reduce diversity in practice and provide clarity regarding existing guidance in ASC 718, “Stock Compensation.” The amendments clarify that an entity should apply modification accounting in response to a change in the terms and conditions of an entity’s share-based payment awards unless three newly specified criteria are met. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No 2017-07 - Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07")

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 primarily to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The guidance will require the net benefit cost to be split in the income statement. The service cost component will be included in operating income. The other components, including amortization of past service costs or credits and settlement and curtailments amounts, will be reported separately outside of operating income. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 during the first quarter of 2018, applying the standard retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the current period or prior period consolidated financial statements. See Note 6: ''Balance Sheet Information'' for further information on the adoption of ASU 2017-07.

ASU No. 2016-18 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2016-18")

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires entities to include in their cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU does not define the terms “restricted cash” and “restricted cash equivalents.” The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 during the first quarter of 2018, applying the standard retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the current period or prior period consolidated financial statements. See Note 15: ''Supplemental Disclosures'' for further information on the adoption of ASU 2016-18.

ASU No. 2016-16 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16")

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, a reporting entity would recognize the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The income tax consequences from the sale of inventory from one member of a consolidated entity to another will continue to be deferred until the inventory is sold to a third party. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-15 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15")

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which changes how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASUs Pending Adoption:

ASU No. 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12")

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 to better align hedge accounting with risk management strategies, and as a result, more hedging strategies will be eligible for hedge accounting. Public business entities will have until the end of the first quarter in which a hedge is designated to perform an initial assessment of a hedge’s effectiveness. After initial qualification, the new guidance permits a qualitative effectiveness assessment for certain hedges instead of a quantitative test if the company can reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness throughout the term of the hedge. An initial quantitative test to establish that the hedge relationship is highly effective is still required. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02")

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the accounting treatment for leases. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will result in a significant component of the Company's future minimum lease obligations as disclosed in Note 10: ''Commitments and Contingencies'' to be included on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is currently reviewing its service agreements and other arrangements to evaluate whether they meet the definition of a lease under ASU 2016-02 and what additional impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions, Divestitures and Licensing Transactions

Note 4: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Licensing Transactions

Acquisition

On May 8, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of SensL Technologies Ltd. ("SensL"), a company specializing in Silicon Photomultipliers, Single Photon Avalanche Diode and LiDAR sensing products for the automotive, medical, industrial and consumer markets, for $71.4 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. As a result of the acquisition, SensL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price was funded with cash on hand. This acquisition positions the Company to extend its products in automotive sensing applications for ADAS and autonomous driving by adding LiDAR capabilities to the Company’s existing capabilities in imaging and radar.

The following table presents the provisional allocation of the purchase price of SensL for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values (in millions):

	Initial Estimate
Current assets (including cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million)	$	4.2
Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets	1.8
Goodwill	15.2
Intangible assets (excluding IPRD)	30.4
IPRD	25.0
Total assets acquired	76.6
Current liabilities	0.7
Other non-current liabilities	4.5
Total liabilities assumed	5.2
Net assets acquired/purchase price	$	71.4

Acquired intangible assets of $30.4 million include developed technology of $29.0 million (which are estimated to have a six year weighted-average useful life). The total weighted average amortization period for the acquired intangibles is six years.

IPRD assets are amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets upon successful completion of the related projects. The value assigned to IPRD was determined by estimating the net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting the net cash flows to their present value using a discount rate of 29.5%. The cash flows from IPRD’s significant products are expected to commence in the second half of 2018.

The acquisition produced $15.2 million of goodwill, which was allocated to the Intelligent Sensing Group. The goodwill is attributable to a combination of SensL’s assembled workforce, expectations regarding a more meaningful engagement by the customers due to the scale of the combined company and other product and operating synergies. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present). Goodwill arising from the SensL acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

The initial estimated purchase price allocation is subject to change as the Company finalizes its determination relating to the valuation of net assets and finalizes key assumptions, approaches and judgments with respect to intangible assets acquired from SensL. Accordingly, future adjustments may impact the initial estimated amount of goodwill and other allocated amounts represented in the table above.

Divestiture

On June 25, 2018, the Company divested the transient voltage suppressing diodes business it acquired from Fairchild to TSC America, Inc. for $5.6 million in cash and recorded a gain of $4.6 million after writing off the carrying values of the assets and liabilities disposed. This gain has been presented as “Gain on divestiture of business” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018.

Licensing Transactions

During 2016 and 2017, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Huaian Imaging Device Manufacturer Corporation (“HIDM”) pursuant to which the Company received $52.5 million in cash in 2017 and provided perpetual, non-exclusive licenses relating to certain technologies to HIDM. Of this amount, $10.0 million was recorded as deferred licensing income to be recognized in the period in which certain qualification requirements of the technologies are achieved (or refunded to HIDM, if such qualification did not occur by June 21, 2018). During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the Company achieved such qualification requirements for the technologies transferred and recognized $10.0 million as licensing income.

On November 29, 2017, the Company and QST Co. Ltd (“QST”) entered into an IP license and technology transfer agreement (“IP Agreement”) to grant QST patent licenses and IP rights to certain of the Company’s technologies. Pursuant to the IP Agreement, QST receives perpetual, worldwide, nonexclusive and nontransferable patents licenses and IP rights upon the payment of license fees of $13.0 million and other fees of $8.5 million in its entirety. Such amounts were paid by QST between the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first and second quarters of 2018. As a result, the Company has recognized licensing income of $18.0 million during the quarter ended June 29, 2018. The remaining amounts were previously recognized as licensing income during 2017 and the quarter ended March 30, 2018.

Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement

On May 31, 2018, the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2016, as amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016, the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2017, and the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with the several lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as the administrative agent (the “Agent”).

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be incurred in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or any other currency approved by the Agent and the lenders under a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), subject to certain qualifications described in the Credit Agreement. Regardless of currency, all borrowings under the Credit Agreement, may, at the Company’s option, be incurred as either eurocurrency loans (“Eurocurrency Loans”) or alternate base rate loans (“ABR Loans”).

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, for any interest period ending after the date of the Fourth Amendment, Eurocurrency Loans will accrue interest at (i) a base rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus (ii) an applicable margin equal to (x) 1.25% with respect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (with step-downs and step-ups as set forth in the Credit Agreement) or (y) 1.75% with respect to borrowings under a $2.4 billion term loan “B” facility (the "Term Loan “B” Facility").

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, ABR Loans will accrue interest at (i) a base rate per annum equal to the highest of (x) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (y) the prime commercial lending rate announced by the Agent from time to time as its prime lending rate and (z) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month interest period (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) (determined after giving effect to any applicable “floor”) plus 1.00%; provided that, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to the interest rate floors set forth in the Credit Agreement, plus (ii) an applicable margin equal to (x) 0.25% with respect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (with step downs and step-ups as set forth in the Credit Agreement) or (y) 0.75% with respect to borrowings under the Term Loan “B” Facility.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, including a pledge of the equity interests in certain of the Company’s domestic and first tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are also collateralized by mortgage on certain real property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement includes financial maintenance covenants, including, among others, a maximum total net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. It also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of June 29, 2018.

Debt Refinancing and Prepayment

The Company incurred third party, legal and other fees of $1.1 million related to the Fourth Amendment. The Company performed an analysis and recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $2.6 million, which included a write-off of $1.5 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and $1.1 million in third party fees, as previously mentioned.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the Company prepaid $50.0 million of borrowings under the Term Loan “B” Facility and expensed $1.4 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs attributed to the partial pay-down, as loss on debt refinancing and prepayment.

1.00% Notes due 2020

On June 8, 2015, the Company completed a private placement of $690.0 million of its 1.00% Notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The 1.00% Notes are governed by an indenture between the Company, as the issuer, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “1.00% Indenture”). The 1.00% Notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 54.0643 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $18.50 per share of common stock. The Company will settle conversion of all 1.00% Notes validly tendered for conversion in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares to be determined by the Company. Holders may convert their 1.00% Notes only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2015, if the last reported sale price of common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 1.00% Notes for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (iii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the 1.00% Indenture; or (iv) on and after September 1, 2020 (each considered a "trigger"). Upon conversion of the 1.00% Notes, the Company will deliver cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election.

As previously experienced during the quarter ended March 30, 2018, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on June 30, 2018 was greater than or equal to $24.05 (130% of the conversion price) on each applicable trading day. As a result, the Company recorded the outstanding balance, net of discount, of $630.7 million of the 1.00% Notes as a current portion of long-term debt as of June 29, 2018, and as required by the 1.00% Indenture, gave notice to the trustee, the conversion agent and each holder on June 29, 2018 that each holder has the right to surrender any portion of its 1.00% Notes (in minimum denominations of $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) for conversion during the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2018 (and only during such calendar quarter unless the trigger remains) pursuant to the terms of the 1.00% Indenture.

Note Payable to SMBC

On January 31, 2013, the Company amended and restated its seven-year, non-collateralized loan obligation with SANYO Electric. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the loan agreement, SANYO Electric assigned all of its rights under the loan agreement to SMBC. The loan had an original principal amount of approximately $377.5 million and had a principal balance of $122.7 million as of December 31, 2017. The entire balance was repaid on the due date of January 2, 2018.

Calculations of net income per common share attributable to ON Semiconductor are as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Dilutive effect of convertible notes	12.7		—		12.7		—
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding	444.3		425.9		444.4		426.0
Net income per common share attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation:
Basic	$	0.36	$	0.22	$	0.69	$	0.41
Diluted	$	0.35	$	0.22	$	0.66	$	0.40

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and assumed issuance of shares relating to RSUs is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. Share-based awards whose impact is considered to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation. The excluded number of anti-dilutive shares subject to share-based awards was zero for the quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 and 0.3 million and 0.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

The dilutive impact related to the Company's 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes is determined in accordance with the net share settlement requirements prescribed by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Under the net share settlement calculation, the Company's convertible notes are assumed to be convertible into cash up to the par value, with the excess of par value being convertible into common stock. A dilutive effect occurs when the stock price exceeds the conversion price for each series of the convertible notes. During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the average share price exceeded the conversion price for both the 1.00% Notes and the 1.625% Notes and the impact of the excess over par value is included in calculating the dilutive effect of the convertible notes. In periods when the share price is lower than the conversion price, the impact is anti-dilutive and therefore has no impact on the Company's earnings per share calculations. Additionally, if the average price of the Company's common stock exceeds $25.96 per share, with respect to the 1.00% Notes, or $30.70 per share, with respect to the 1.625% Notes, for a reporting period, the Company will also include the effect of the additional potential shares, using the treasury stock method, that may be issued related to the warrants that were issued concurrently with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes, respectively. Prior to conversion, the convertible note hedges are not considered for purposes of the earnings per share calculations, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Upon conversion, the convertible note hedges are expected to offset the dilutive effect of the 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes, respectively, when the stock price is above $18.50 per share, with respect to the 1.00% Notes, and $20.72 per share, with respect to the 1.625% Notes.

Equity

Share Repurchase Program

During the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, the Company repurchased common stock worth approximately $40.0 million under the share repurchase program. There were zero and $25.0 million of repurchases of the Company's common stock under the share repurchase program during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $1.0 billion (exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses) of the Company’s common stock over a period of four years from December 1, 2014, subject to certain contingencies. The Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, or by any combination of such methods or other methods. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under the Company’s debt obligations and other market and economic conditions. The share repurchase program does not require the Company to purchase any particular amount of common stock and is subject to the board’s discretion. As of June 29, 2018, $563.2 million remained of the total authorized amount to repurchase common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program.

Information relating to the Company's share repurchase program during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

	Quarter Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2018		June 29, 2018

Shares for Restricted Stock Units Tax Withholding

Treasury stock is recorded at cost and is presented as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Shares with a fair market value equal to the applicable statutory minimum amount of the employee withholding taxes due are withheld by the Company upon the vesting of RSUs to pay the applicable statutory minimum amount of employee withholding taxes and are considered common stock repurchases. The Company then pays the applicable statutory minimum amount of withholding taxes in cash. The amount remitted for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018 was $1.1 million and $19.9 million, respectively, for which the Company withheld approximately 0.1 million and 0.8 million shares of common stock, respectively, that were underlying the RSUs that vested. The amount remitted for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively, for which the Company withheld approximately 0.1 million and 0.9 million shares of common stock, respectively, that were underlying the RSUs that vested. None of these shares had been reissued or retired as of June 29, 2018, but may be reissued or retired by the Company at a later date. These repurchases do not count against the Company's share repurchase program.

Non-Controlling Interest

The Company's entity, which operates assembly and test operations in Leshan, China is owned by Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited, a joint venture company in which the Company owns a majority of the outstanding equity interests (“Leshan”). The Company owns 80% of the outstanding equity interests in Leshan and its investment in Leshan has been consolidated in the Company's financial statements.

At December 31, 2017, the non-controlling interest balance was $22.2 million. This balance increased to $24.1 million as of June 29, 2018, resulting from the non-controlling interest's $1.9 million share of the earnings for the six months ended June 29, 2018.

Subsequent to the third closing date of Aizu Fujitsu Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited (“AFSM”), the Company will consolidate the results of AFSM and the non-controlling interest held by the minority shareholder will be initially recognized at fair value. See Note 11: ''Fair Value Measurements'' for further information about the investment in AFSM.

Share-based compensation expense, net of taxes	$	18.2	$	13.5	$	32.8	$	23.3

⁽¹⁾  Tax benefit was calculated using the federal statutory rate of 21% and 35% for the quarters and six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

At June 29, 2018, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested RSUs with time-based service conditions and performance-based vesting criteria was $112.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.76 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018 was $1.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The Company received cash of $0.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018 from the exercise of stock options. Upon option exercise, vesting of RSUs, stock grant awards or completion of a purchase under the ESPP, the Company issues new shares of common stock.

Share-based compensation expense is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The annualized pre-vesting forfeiture rate for stock options was estimated to be 11% during the quarters and six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017. The annualized pre-vesting forfeiture rate for RSUs was estimated to be 5% during the quarters and six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

Shares Available

As of June 29, 2018, there was an aggregate of 35.0 million shares of common stock available for grant under the Amended and Restated SIP and 7.6 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP. As of December 31, 2017, there was an aggregate of 39.0 million shares of common stock available for grant under the Company's Amended and Restated SIP and 8.0 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

Stock Options

The number of options outstanding at December 31, 2017 was 1.1 million at a weighted average exercise price of $6.95 per option, of which 0.6 million options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $7.01 per option during the six months ended June 29, 2018. The number of options outstanding at June 29, 2018 was 0.5 million at a weighted average exercise price of $6.87 per option. All outstanding options had exercise prices below $22.24 per share, the closing price of the Company's common stock at June 29, 2018.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs generally vest over three years with service-based requirements or performance-based requirements or a combination of service-based and performance-based requirements and are payable in shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting. A summary of the RSU transactions for the six months ended June 29, 2018 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

	Number of Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share

Environmental Contingencies

The Company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona are located on property that is a “Superfund” site, which is a property listed on the National Priorities List and subject to clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). Motorola and Freescale (acquired by NXP Semiconductors N.V.) have been involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of the Company’s separation from Motorola in 1999, Motorola retained responsibility for this contamination, and Motorola and Freescale have agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter.

The Company’s former front-end manufacturing location in Aizu, Japan is located on property where soil and ground water contamination was detected. The Company believes that the contamination originally occurred during a time when the facility was operated by a prior owner. The Company worked with local authorities to implement a remediation plan and has completed remaining remediation. The majority of the cost of remediation was covered by insurance. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

The Company’s manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic has ongoing remediation projects to respond to releases of hazardous substances that occurred during the years that this facility was operated by government-owned entities. The remediation projects consist primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded. The government of the Czech Republic has agreed to indemnify the Company and its respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

The Company’s design center in East Greenwich, Rhode Island is located on property that has localized soil contamination. In connection with the purchase of the facility, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Covenant Not to Sue with the State of Rhode Island. This agreement requires that remedial actions be undertaken and a quarterly groundwater monitoring program be initiated by the former owners of the property. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

As a result of the acquisition of AMIS in 2008, the Company is a “primary responsible party” to an environmental remediation and cleanup at AMIS’s former corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California. Costs incurred by AMIS include implementation of the clean-up plan, operations and maintenance of remediation systems, and other project management costs. However, AMIS’s former parent company, a subsidiary of Nippon Mining, contractually agreed to indemnify AMIS and the Company for any obligations relating to environmental remediation and cleanup at this location. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

Through its acquisition of Fairchild, the Company acquired a facility in South Portland, Maine. This facility has ongoing environmental remediation projects to respond to certain releases of hazardous substances that occurred prior to the leveraged recapitalization of Fairchild from its former parent company, National Semiconductor Corporation, which is now owned by Texas Instruments, Inc. Although the Company may incur certain liabilities with respect to these remediation projects, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement entered into in connection with the Fairchild recapitalization, National Semiconductor Corporation agreed to indemnify Fairchild, without limitation and for an indefinite period of time, for all future costs related to these projects. Under a 1999 asset purchase agreement pursuant to which Fairchild purchased the power device business of Samsung, Samsung agreed to indemnify Fairchild in an amount up to $150.0 million for remediation costs and other liabilities related to historical contamination at Samsung’s Bucheon, South Korea operations. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

Under a 2001 asset purchase agreement pursuant to which Fairchild purchased a manufacturing facility in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, Intersil Corp. (acquired by Renesas Electronics Corporation) agreed to indemnify Fairchild for remediation costs and other liabilities related to historical contamination at the facility. Any costs to the Company incurred to respond to the above conditions and projects have not been, and are not expected to be, material, and any future payments the Company makes in connection with such liabilities are not expected to be material.

The Company was notified by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) under CERCLA in the Chemetco Superfund matter. Chemetco, a defunct reclamation services supplier that operated in Illinois at what is now a Superfund site, has performed reclamation services for the Company in the past. The EPA is pursuing Chemetco customers for contribution to the site cleanup activities. The Company has joined a PRP group which is cooperating with the EPA in the evaluation and funding of the cleanup. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and, based on the information available, are not expected to be, material.

Financing Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to certain parties initiated by either the Company or its subsidiaries, as required for transactions such as, but not limited to, material purchase commitments, agreements to mitigate collection risk, leases, utilities or customs guarantees. As of June 29, 2018, the Revolving Credit Facility included $15.0 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. There were $0.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 29, 2018, which reduces the Company's borrowing capacity. The Company also had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit outside of its Revolving Credit Facility totaling $6.1 million as of June 29, 2018.

As part of obtaining financing in the ordinary course of business, the Company has issued guarantees related to certain of its subsidiaries' capital lease obligations, equipment financing, lines of credit and real estate mortgages, which totaled $104.4 million as of June 29, 2018.

Based on historical experience and information currently available, the Company believes that it will not be required to make payments under the standby letters of credit or guarantee arrangements for the foreseeable future.

Indemnification Contingencies

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by the Company require it to indemnify the other party against losses due to IP infringement, property damage (including environmental contamination), personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, the Company’s negligence or willful misconduct or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.

The Company faces risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that its products fail to perform as expected or such failure of its products results, or is alleged to result, in economic damage, bodily injury or property damage. In addition, if any of the Company’s designed products are alleged to be defective, the Company may be required to participate in their recall. Depending on the significance of any particular customer and other relevant factors, the Company may agree to provide more favorable rights to such customer for valid defective product claims.

The Company and its subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability company operating agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the DGCL are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Exchange Act. As permitted by the DGCL, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), contains provisions relating to the limitation of liability and indemnification of directors and officers. The Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of each of the Company’s directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, as it may be amended or supplemented, and provides that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. The form of agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) provides, subject to certain exceptions and conditions specified in the Indemnification Agreement, that the Company will indemnify each indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with a proceeding or claim in which such person is involved because of his or her status as one of the Company’s directors or executive officers. In addition, the Indemnification Agreement provides that the Company will, to the extent not prohibited by law and subject to certain exceptions and repayment conditions, advance specified indemnifiable expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such proceeding or claim. The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 25, 2016 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company also maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Exchange Act, that might be incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such.

The agreement and plan of merger relating to the acquisition of Fairchild (the "Fairchild Agreement") provides for indemnification and insurance rights in favor of Fairchild’s then current and former directors, officers and employees. Specifically, the Company has agreed that, for no fewer than six years following the Fairchild acquisition, the Company will: (a) indemnify and hold harmless each such indemnitee against losses and expenses (including advancement of attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any proceeding asserted against the indemnified party in connection with such person’s servings as a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of Fairchild or its subsidiaries prior to the effective time of the acquisition; (b) maintain in effect all provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries or any other agreements of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries with any indemnified party regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses in existence on the date of the Fairchild Agreement for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition; and (c) subject to certain qualifications, provide to Fairchild’s then current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition that is no less favorable than Fairchild’s then-existing policy, or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage.

While the Company’s future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not believe that any amounts that it may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including indemnification claims, claims of alleged infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, claims of alleged non-compliance with contract provisions and claims related to alleged violations of laws and regulations. The Company regularly evaluates the status of the legal proceedings in which it is involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or an additional loss, may have been incurred and determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, the Company further evaluates each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of possible loss can be made for disclosure. Although litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes that it has adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the resolution of a legal proceeding. The Company’s estimates do not represent its maximum exposure. Legal expenses related to defense, negotiations, settlements, rulings and advice of outside legal counsel are expensed as incurred.

The Company is currently involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, except as disclosed below, the Company is not involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings that it believes could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. The litigation process and the administrative process at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) are inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of these matters will be favorable to it.

Patent Litigation with Power Integrations, Inc.

There are eight outstanding civil litigation proceedings with Power Integrations, Inc. (“PI”), five of which were pending between PI and various Fairchild entities (including Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, and Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation, f/k/a System General Corporation (collectively referred to in this sub-section as “Fairchild”)), prior to the acquisition of Fairchild. The Company is vigorously defending the lawsuits filed by PI and believes that it has strong defenses. There are also over two dozen outstanding administrative proceedings between the parties at the USPTO in which each party is challenging the validity of the other party's patents.

The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Any estimate or statement regarding any reserve or the estimated range of possible losses is made solely in compliance with applicable GAAP requirements and is not a statement or admission that the Company is or should be liable in any amount, or that any arguments, motions or appeals before any Court lack merit or are subject to impeachment. To the contrary, the Company believes that it has significant and meritorious grounds for judgment in its favor with respect to all of the PI cases and that the Company’s appeals or motions currently pending at the district court level will significantly reduce or eliminate all prior adverse jury verdicts. Subject to the foregoing, as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company estimates its range of possible losses for all PI cases to be between approximately $4.0 million and $20.0 million in the aggregate.

Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al. (October 20, 2004, Delaware, 1:04-cv-01371-LPS): PI filed this lawsuit in 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Fairchild, alleging that certain of Fairchild’s pulse width modulation (“PWM”) integrated circuit products infringed U.S. patents owned by PI. The lawsuit sought a permanent injunction as well as money damages for Fairchild’s alleged infringement. In October 2006, a jury returned a willful infringement verdict and assessed damages against Fairchild. Fairchild voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of those products in 2007 and has been offering replacement products since 2006. In December 2008, the judge overseeing the case reduced the jury’s 2006 damages award from $34.0 million to approximately $6.1 million and ordered a new trial on the issue of willfulness. Following the new trial held in June 2009, the court found Fairchild’s infringement to have been willful, and in January 2011 the court awarded PI final damages in the amount of $12.2 million. Fairchild appealed the final damages award, willfulness finding, and other issues to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In March 2013, the Court of Appeals vacated substantially all of the damages award, ruling that there was no basis upon which a reasonable jury could find Fairchild liable for induced infringement. The Court of Appeals also vacated the earlier judgment of willful patent infringement. The full Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States later denied PI’s request to review the Court of Appeals ruling. The Court of Appeals instructed the lower court to conduct further proceedings to determine damages based on approximately $750,000 worth of sales and imports of affected products and to re-assess its finding that the infringement was willful. In December 2017, the lower court reinstated the willfulness finding but has since stayed resolution of the other outstanding issues, including damages. In June 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States decided WesternGeco LLC v. ION Geophysical Corp., in which the Court determined that certain extraterritorial conduct may be relevant to some United States patent litigation. The lower court in this proceeding is in the process of determining whether WesternGeco has any impact on this case and the next steps in the litigation.

Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al. (May 23, 2008, Delaware, 1:08-cv-00309-LPS):This lawsuit was initiated by PI in 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Fairchild, alleging that certain other PWM products infringed several U.S. patents owned by PI. On October 14, 2008, Fairchild filed a patent infringement lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PI products infringed U.S. patents owned by Fairchild. Each lawsuit included claims for money damages and a request for a permanent injunction. These two lawsuits were consolidated and heard together in a jury trial in April 2012 during which the jury found that PI infringed one of the two U.S. patents owned by Fairchild and upheld the validity of both of the Fairchild patents. In the same verdict, the jury found that Fairchild infringed two of four U.S. patents asserted by PI and that Fairchild had induced its customers to infringe the asserted patents. (The court later ruled that Fairchild infringed one other asserted PI patent that the jury found was not infringed.) The jury also upheld the validity of the asserted PI patents, and the court entered a permanent injunction against Fairchild. Willfulness and damages were not considered in the April 2012 trial but were reserved for subsequent proceedings. Fairchild and PI appealed the liability phase of this litigation to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which heard arguments in July 2016 and issued a decision in December 2016. In the decision, the appeals court vacated the jury’s finding that Fairchild induced infringement of PI’s patents, held that one of PI’s patents was invalid, vacated the permanent injunction against Fairchild, reversed the jury’s finding that PI infringed the Fairchild patent and remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with these rulings. The Company is preparing for a trial, currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2018, at which willfulness, inducement and money damages are expected to be addressed.

Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. (November 4, 2009, Northern District of California, 3:09-cv-05235-MMC): In 2009, PI sued Fairchild in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that several of Fairchild’s products infringe three of PI’s patents. Fairchild filed counterclaims asserting that PI infringed two Fairchild patents. During the initial trial on this matter in 2014, a jury found that Fairchild willfully infringed two PI patents, awarded PI $105.0 million in damages and found that PI did not infringe any Fairchild patent. In September 2014, the court granted a motion filed by Fairchild that sought to set aside the jury’s determination that it acted willfully, and held that, as a matter of law, Fairchild’s actions were not willful. In November 2014, in response to another post-trial motion filed by Fairchild, the trial court ruled that the jury lacked sufficient evidence on which to base its damages award and, consequently, vacated the $105.0 million verdict and ordered a second trial on damages. The second damages trial was held in December 2015, in which a jury awarded PI $139.8 million in damages. Fairchild filed a number of post-trial motions challenging the second damages verdict, but the court ruled against Fairchild on these motions and awarded PI approximately $7.0 million in pre-judgment interest. Following the court’s rulings on these issues, PI moved the court to reinstate the jury’s willfulness finding and sought enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees. On January 23, 2017, the court reinstated the jury’s willful infringement finding but denied PI’s motion for enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees in its entirety. The Company appealed the infringement and damages judgments, and in July 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the judgment with respect to infringement of both PI patents but vacated the damages judgment because PI had presented legally insufficient evidence to support its damages claim. The appellate court thus remanded the case back to the lower court for a new trial on damages. All claims of the two PI patents found to be infringed by Fairchild have since been determined to be unpatentable in several inter partes review administrative proceedings described below. The impact of the USPTO’s unpatentability determinations on the district court judgment is uncertain at this stage of the proceedings.

Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. v. Power Integrations (May 1, 2012, Delaware, 1:12-cv-00540-LPS): In May 2012, Fairchild sued PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and alleged that various PI products infringe Fairchild’s U.S. patents. PI filed counterclaims of patent infringement against Fairchild, asserting five PI patents. Of those five patents, the court granted Fairchild summary judgment of no infringement on one, and PI voluntarily withdrew a second and was forced to remove a third patent during the trial, which began in May 2015. In that trial, the jury found that PI induced infringement of Fairchild’s patent rights and awarded Fairchild $2.4 million in damages. The same jury found that Fairchild infringed a PI patent and awarded PI damages of $100,000. Based on the December 2016 appellate court decision in the litigation filed in Delaware in 2008 (described above), on July 13, 2017, the District Court vacated the jury’s finding that PI infringed Fairchild’s patent. The court has tentatively scheduled a trial for November 2018 to resolve minor outstanding issues before final judgment can be entered.

Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. (October 21, 2015, Northern District of California, 3:15-cv-04854 MMC): In 2015, PI filed another complaint for patent infringement against Fairchild in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging Fairchild's products willfully infringe two PI patents. In the complaint, PI is seeking a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. Fairchild answered and counterclaimed, alleging infringement by PI of four Fairchild patents related to aspects of PI’s products, and also seeking damages and a permanent injunction. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages, and has been stayed pending the outcome of the Company’s administrative challenges, which are described below, to the two PI patents asserted against Fairchild. PI has also filed administrative challenges to Fairchild’s asserted patents.

Power Integrations v. ON Semiconductor Corporation, and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (November 1, 2016, Northern District of California, 5:16-cv-06371-BLF and 5:17-cv-03189):On August 11, 2016, ON Semiconductor Corporation and SCILLC (collectively referred to in this sub-section as “ON Semi”) filed a lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, alleging that PI infringed six patents and seeking a permanent injunction and money damages for the alleged infringement. The lawsuit also sought a claim for a declaratory judgment that ON Semi does not infringe several of PI’s patents. Rather than responding to ON Semi’s lawsuit in Arizona, PI filed a separate lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in November 2016, alleging that ON Semi infringes six PI patents, including two of the three PI patents in ON Semi’s declaratory judgment claims from Arizona. PI also moved the Arizona court to dismiss ON Semi’s lawsuit, or in the alternative to transfer the lawsuit to California. Following various procedural motions, ON Semi’s Arizona action has been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and consolidated with PI’s November 2016 lawsuit, in which PI has subsequently asserted a claim for infringement on the last of the three PI patents in ON Semi’s original declaratory judgment claims. The lawsuit is in its early stages, but the parties have begun to engage in discovery.

ON Semiconductor Corporation and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC v. Power Integrations, Inc. (March 9, 2017, District of Delaware, 1:17-cv-00247-LPS-CJB): On March 9, 2017, ON Semi filed a lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that PI’s InnoSwitch family of products infringe six of ON Semi’s U.S. patents. Following some procedural motions, PI has since counterclaimed alleging infringement by ON Semi of seven of PI’s U.S. Patents. Both parties seek money damages and a permanent injunction. The lawsuit is in its early stages, but the parties have begun to engage in discovery.

Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC v. Power Integrations, Inc. (November 2017, Taiwan Intellectual Property Court, 106-Ming-min-bu-Tzu-238): In November 2017, Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC filed a lawsuit against PI in Taiwan alleging infringement by PI of certain of ON Semi’s Taiwanese patents. The lawsuit is in its early stages.

Administrative Challenges to PI’s Patents

In addition to the eight court proceedings described above, there are presently numerous inter partes review administrative proceedings between PI and ON Semi/Fairchild. Each of these administrative proceedings seeks to invalidate certain claims asserted in the various court proceedings. For the two proceedings filed by ON Semi involving claims asserted in the case filed in 2009 in the Northern District of California, the USPTO has issued a Final Written Decision finding that all of the claims challenged in those proceedings are unpatentable, and PI filed a notice of appeal for those decisions. The USPTO has also issued Final Written Decisions in seven additional proceedings in ON Semiconductor’s favor, and PI’s appeals in those cases are ongoing. In five of the proceedings initiated by PI, the USPTO has instituted a review of five ON Semi/Fairchild patents that are being asserted against PI, but the USPTO has not rendered a Final Written Decision in any of those five cases. All of the other proceedings remain pending or were terminated without substantive review by the USPTO.

Litigation with Acbel Polytech, Inc.

On November 27, 2013, Fairchild and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation were named as defendants in a complaint filed by Acbel Polytech, Inc. (“Acbel”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleged a number of causes of action, including breach of warranty, fraud, negligence and strict liability, and has been docketed as Acbel Polytech, Inc. v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al, Case # 1:13-CV-13046-DJC. On December 10, 2016, the Court issued an order on the Company’s motion for summary judgment dismissing all of Acbel’s claims except for claims alleging breach of implied warranties. A bench trial was held in June 2017. On December 27, 2017, the Court rendered a verdict in favor of the Fairchild defendants on the remaining implied warranty claims. On January 24, 2018, Acbel filed a notice of appeal. On February 7, 2018, Fairchild filed notice of a cross appeal. Acbel filed its appeal brief on April 9, 2018, and Fairchild filed its brief on May 29, 2018.

Intellectual Property Matters

The Company faces risk to exposure from claims of infringement of the IP rights of others. In the ordinary course of business, the Company receives letters asserting that the Company’s products or components breach another party’s rights. Such letters may request royalty payments from the Company, that the Company cease and desist using certain intellectual property or other remedies.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 11: Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the Company's financial assets and liabilities, excluding pension assets, measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

			Fair Value Hierarchy

Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents:
Demand and time deposits	$	12.6	$	12.6	$	—	$	—
Money market funds	0.3		0.3		—		—

During the quarter ended March 30, 2018, the Company reduced the contingent consideration payable relating to the second earn-out for the AXSEM acquisition to zero due to a revision in the Company's expectations regarding the likelihood that the earn-out would be achieved. The gain was recorded in other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Other

The carrying amounts of other current assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt, Including Current Portion

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings (excluding capital lease obligations, real estate mortgages and equipment financing) are as follows (in millions):

	As of
	June 29, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current portion
Convertible notes	$	1,099.8	$	1,641.3	$	1,080.1	$	1,596.7
Long-term debt	$	1,633.8	$	1,636.4	$	1,833.2	$	1,845.4

The fair values of the Company's 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes were estimated based on market prices in active markets (Level 1). The fair value of other long-term debt was estimated based on discounting the remaining principal and interest payments using current market rates for similar debt (Level 2) at June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Cost and Equity Method Investments

The Company accounts for investments in companies that it does not control, or have significant influence over, under the cost method, as applicable. If a decline in the fair value of a cost method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded, and the carrying value of the cost method investment is reduced to fair value. The Company evaluates all of its cost method investments for impairment; however, it is not required to determine the fair value of its investment unless impairment indicators are present.

The Company’s cost method investments had a carrying value of $7.4 million and $12.6 million as of June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

On April 1, 2018 (the "second closing date”), the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 30 percent incremental interest in AFSM for $19.8 million in cash, resulting in a 40 percent ownership interest with an aggregate investment value of $26.2 million. The Company’s investment in AFSM, which was accounted for under the cost method through the quarter ended March 30, 2018, has been accounted for under the equity method beginning April 1, 2018 following the increase in the Company's investment. Subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, the Company will be required to increase its ownership interest to 60 percent between one and six months following the second closing date (the “third closing date”) and will be required to increase its ownership interest to 100 percent between nine and 18 months following the third closing date.

AFSM, a related party beginning in the quarter ended June 29, 2018, operates a front-end fabrication facility in Aizu-Wakamatsu that manufactures 8-inch wafers based on design specification from its customers, which are primarily the Company and another investor. During the quarter ended June 29, 2018, the Company purchased inventory of approximately $7.3 million and has a payable of $1.6 million to AFSM as of June 29, 2018.

Financial Instruments

Note 12: Financial Instruments

Foreign Currencies

As a multinational business, the Company’s transactions are denominated in a variety of currencies. When appropriate, the Company uses forward foreign currency contracts to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on its results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s policy prohibits trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures and entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.

The Company primarily hedges existing assets and liabilities associated with transactions currently on its balance sheet, which are undesignated hedges for accounting purposes.

As of June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts of $86.4 million and $130.5 million, respectively. Such contracts were obtained through financial institutions and were scheduled to mature within one to three months from the time of purchase. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to increased risks from foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should offset losses and gains on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions to which they are related.

The following summarizes the Company’s net foreign exchange positions in U.S. dollars (in millions):

	As of
	June 29, 2018					December 31, 2017
	Buy (Sell)			Notional Amount		Buy (Sell)			Notional Amount
Euro	$	(4.9	)	$	4.9	$	(22.9	)	$	22.9
Japanese Yen	—			—		(40.0		)	40.0
Philippine Peso	30.6			30.6		26.4			26.4
Chinese Yuan	13.0			13.0		5.3			5.3
Czech Koruna	10.3			10.3		7.6			7.6
Other Currencies - Buy	19.6			19.6		18.0			18.0
Other Currencies - Sell	(8.0		)	8.0		(10.3		)	10.3
	$	60.6		$	86.4	$	(15.9	)	$	130.5

Amounts receivable or payable under the contracts are included in other current assets or accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions totaled a $2.2 million loss and a $0.1 million gain, respectively. For the six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions totaled a $6.6 million loss and a $2.8 million loss, respectively. The realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions are included in other income and expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Cash Flow Hedges

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value and classified based on the instrument's maturity date.

Interest rate risk

The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with the Term Loan "B" Facility. The Company does not use such swap contracts for speculative or trading purposes. These contracts effectively hedge some of the future variable rate LIBOR interest expense to a fixed rate interest expense. The derivative instruments qualified for accounting as a cash flow hedge in accordance with ASC 815, and the Company designated it as such. The Company performed effectiveness assessments and concluded that there is no ineffectiveness during the quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

Foreign currency risk

The purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from transactions in foreign currencies will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The Company enters into forward contracts that are designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges of selected forecasted payments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

For the quarters and six months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Company did not have outstanding derivatives for its foreign currency exposure designated as cash flow hedges.

Convertible Note Hedges

The Company entered into convertible note hedges in connection with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes and 1.625% Notes.

Other

At June 29, 2018, the Company had no outstanding commodity derivatives, currency swaps or options relating to either its debt instruments or investments. The Company does not hedge the value of its equity investments in its subsidiaries or affiliated companies. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if counterparties to hedge contracts fail to perform their obligations. As of June 29, 2018, the counterparties to the Company’s hedge contracts are held at financial institutions which the Company believes to be highly rated, and no credit-related losses are anticipated.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Note 13: Income Taxes

The Company has historically determined its interim income tax provision by applying the estimated effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year to the income before income taxes for the period. In determining the full year estimate, the Company does not include the estimated impact of unusual and/or infrequent items, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and income before income taxes. Significant judgment is exercised in determining the income tax provision due to transactions, credits and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 29, 2018, was 19.2%, which differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% principally due to discrete benefits of $8.9 million relating to the release of reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in the U.S. and foreign taxing jurisdictions related to prior years and $2.8 million relating to the release of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets expected to be realized in the foreseeable future. These benefits are partially offset by foreign taxes for which the Company will not receive a U.S. tax credit as a result of U.S. tax reform and the Company’s U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 29, 2018 was 15.3%, which differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% principally due to discrete benefits of $8.9 million relating to the release of reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in the U.S. and foreign taxing jurisdictions related to prior years, $19.9 million relating to an increase in deferred tax assets and release of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets expected to be realized in the foreseeable future and $7.1 million relating to equity award excess tax benefits. These benefits are partially offset by foreign taxes for which the Company will not receive a U.S. tax credit as a result of U.S. tax reform and the Company’s U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards.

In December 2017 the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), which allows the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. As of June 29, 2018, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Tax Act; however, in certain cases, specifically as follows, the Company made a reasonable estimate of (i) the effects on its existing deferred tax balances and (ii) the effects of the one-time mandatory repatriation tax. The Company recognized a provisional tax benefit of $449.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2017, associated with the items it could reasonably estimate. For the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, there have not been any adjustments made to these estimates. The Company is still analyzing the Tax Act and refining its calculations, which could potentially impact the measurement of its tax balances. The Company expects to complete its analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118.

At June 29, 2018, the Company was not able to reasonably estimate, and therefore has not recorded, deferred taxes for the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Act. The Company has not yet determined its policy election with respect to whether to record deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse as a result of the GILTI provisions in future periods or use the period cost method. The Company has, however, included an estimate of the current impact of GILTI in its tax provision for 2018.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company had approximately $4.0 million and $5.0 million of net interest and penalties accrued at June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Although the Company cannot predict the timing of resolution with taxing authorities, if any, it believes it is reasonably possible that $7.5 million of its unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced in the next 12 months due to settlement with tax authorities or expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Tax years 2013 and prior are generally not subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Services (the “IRS”) except for items involving tax attributes that have been carried forward to tax years whose statute of limitations remains open. The Company is not currently under IRS examination. For state tax returns, the Company is generally not subject to income tax examinations for years 2012 and prior. The Company is also subject to routine examinations by various foreign tax jurisdictions in which it operates. With respect to major jurisdictions outside the United States, the Company's subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits for years prior to 2007. The Company is currently under audit in the following significant jurisdictions: China, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, Mauritius, Singapore and Vietnam.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Adoption of New Revenue Standard and Change in Accounting Policy

Adoption of New Revenue Standard

On January 1, 2018, as required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), ASU No. 2015-14 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date ("ASU 2015-14"), ASU No. 2016-08 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations ("ASU 2016-08"), ASU No. 2016-10 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ("ASU 2016-10"), ASU No. 2016-12 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU 2016-12") and ASU No. 2016-20 - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ("ASU 2016-20") (collectively “the New Revenue Standard”). To conform to the New Revenue Standard, the Company modified its revenue recognition policy as described below.

Change in Accounting Policy

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the New Revenue Standard using the modified retrospective method, applying the guidance to all open contracts and recognized the cumulative effect adjustment of $2.1 million to retained earnings and accrued expenses as of that date. The comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be presented under the accounting standards in effect for the respective periods. The Company applied the practical expedient and has not disclosed the revenues allocated to future shipments of partially completed contracts.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues continue to be recognized following the transfer of control of the products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Under the New Revenue Standard, revenues from certain product development agreements, which were previously deferred as delivered, are now recognized over time.

ASUs Adopted:

New Revenue Standard

The Company adopted the New Revenue Standard on a modified retrospective basis on January 1, 2018. The cumulative-effect adjustment related to the timing of revenue recognition on certain product development agreements recorded to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, was $2.1 million. The Company expects the ongoing impact of the New Revenue Standard to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-09 - Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09")

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 to reduce diversity in practice and provide clarity regarding existing guidance in ASC 718, “Stock Compensation.” The amendments clarify that an entity should apply modification accounting in response to a change in the terms and conditions of an entity’s share-based payment awards unless three newly specified criteria are met. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No 2017-07 - Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07")

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 primarily to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The guidance will require the net benefit cost to be split in the income statement. The service cost component will be included in operating income. The other components, including amortization of past service costs or credits and settlement and curtailments amounts, will be reported separately outside of operating income. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 during the first quarter of 2018, applying the standard retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the current period or prior period consolidated financial statements. See Note 6: ''Balance Sheet Information'' for further information on the adoption of ASU 2017-07.

ASU No. 2016-18 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2016-18")

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires entities to include in their cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU does not define the terms “restricted cash” and “restricted cash equivalents.” The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 during the first quarter of 2018, applying the standard retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the current period or prior period consolidated financial statements. See Note 15: ''Supplemental Disclosures'' for further information on the adoption of ASU 2016-18.

ASU No. 2016-16 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16")

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, a reporting entity would recognize the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The income tax consequences from the sale of inventory from one member of a consolidated entity to another will continue to be deferred until the inventory is sold to a third party. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-15 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15")

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which changes how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASUs Pending Adoption:

ASU No. 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12")

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 to better align hedge accounting with risk management strategies, and as a result, more hedging strategies will be eligible for hedge accounting. Public business entities will have until the end of the first quarter in which a hedge is designated to perform an initial assessment of a hedge’s effectiveness. After initial qualification, the new guidance permits a qualitative effectiveness assessment for certain hedges instead of a quantitative test if the company can reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness throughout the term of the hedge. An initial quantitative test to establish that the hedge relationship is highly effective is still required. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02")

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the accounting treatment for leases. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will result in a significant component of the Company's future minimum lease obligations as disclosed in Note 10: ''Commitments and Contingencies'' to be included on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is currently reviewing its service agreements and other arrangements to evaluate whether they meet the definition of a lease under ASU 2016-02 and what additional impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In anticipation of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company developed its internal systems, processes and controls to enable it to make the estimates required by the New Revenue Standard on sales to its distributors and was able to reliably estimate upfront the effects of returns and allowances and record revenues at the time of shipments to these distributors. Prior to this, the Company recognized revenues from distributors under the sell-through method as it did not have the ability to estimate the effects of returns and allowances. As a result of this change, the Company recognized an additional $155.1 million in revenues during the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in an increase of $59.0 million to income before income taxes.

The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to OEMs, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. The Company also generates revenue, to a much lesser extent, from product development agreements and manufacturing services provided to customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. For sales agreements, the Company has identified the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the performance obligation. For product development agreements, the Company has identified the completion of a service defined in the agreement to be the performance obligation. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

Sales agreements with customers are renewable periodically and contain terms and conditions with respect to payment, delivery, warranty and supply, but typically do not require minimum purchase commitments. In the absence of a sales agreement, the Company’s standard terms and conditions apply. The Company considers the customer purchase orders, governed by sales agreements or the Company’s standard terms and conditions, to be the contract with the customer. The Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk).

Most of the Company’s OEM customers negotiate pricing terms on an annual basis, while the electronic manufacturer service providers and distributors generally negotiate pricing terms on a quarterly basis. Pricing terms on product development agreements are negotiated at the beginning of a project. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative stand-alone selling price.

In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company’s OEM customers do not have the right to return products, other than pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s standard warranty. Sales to distributors, however, are typically made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products, referred to as stock rotation. Sales to distributors can also be subject to price adjustment on certain products, primarily for distributors with ship and credit rights. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days. In addition, the Company offers cash discounts to certain customers for payments received within an agreed upon time, generally 10 days after shipment.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue from sales agreements upon transferring control of a product to the customer. This typically occurs when products are shipped or delivered, depending on the delivery terms, or when products that are consigned at customer locations are consumed. The Company recognizes revenue from product development agreements over time based on the cost-to-cost method. Revenues recognized during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2018, for sales agreements was $1,447.9 million and $2,820.7 million, respectively, and for product development agreements was $8.0 million and $12.8 million, respectively. Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, ship and credit claims and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. For returns, the Company recognizes a related asset for the right to recover returned products with a corresponding reduction to cost of goods sold. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activity and records provisions, as necessary. The Company records a reserve for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on the experience with each customer.

Frequently, the Company receives orders with multiple delivery dates that may extend across reporting periods. Since each delivery constitutes a performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling price of the products. The Company invoices the customer for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes revenue in accordance with delivery terms. As scheduled delivery dates are within one year, revenue allocated to future shipments of partially completed contracts are not disclosed.

The Company has elected to record freight and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer as a fulfillment cost and include it in cost of revenues. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value-added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The Company generally warrants that products sold to its customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to specifications. The Company’s standard warranty extends for a period of two years from the date of delivery, except in the case of image sensor products, which are warrantied for one year from the date of delivery. At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with its sales and records them as a component of the cost of revenues

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases its estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) estimates of future payouts for customer incentives and estimates of amounts subject to allowances, returns and warranties; (ii) measurement of valuation allowances relating to inventories and trade receivables; (iii) future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, if applicable; (iv) assumptions surrounding future pension obligations; (v) fair values of share-based compensation and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); (vi) measurement of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, evaluations of uncertain tax positions and the impact of U.S. tax reform; and (vii) estimates and assumptions used in connection with business combinations. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Foreign Currencies

Foreign Currencies

Most of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries conduct business primarily in U.S. dollars and, as a result, utilize the dollar as their functional currency. For the remeasurement of financial statements of these subsidiaries, assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are receivable or payable in cash are remeasured at current exchange rates, while inventories and other non-monetary assets in foreign currencies are remeasured at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of such financial statements are included in the operating results, as are gains and losses incurred on foreign currency transactions.

Historically, the majority of the Company’s Japanese subsidiaries utilized Japanese Yen as their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates in effect for the period. The related translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income or loss within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As a result of an analysis which took into account the economic indicators of these subsidiaries from a long-term perspective, the Company changed the functional currency for some of these subsidiaries from Japanese Yen to U.S. dollars effective as of January 1, 2018.

Cost Method Investments

Cost and Equity Method Investments

The Company accounts for investments in companies that it does not control, or have significant influence over, under the cost method, as applicable. If a decline in the fair value of a cost method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded, and the carrying value of the cost method investment is reduced to fair value. The Company evaluates all of its cost method investments for impairment; however, it is not required to determine the fair value of its investment unless impairment indicators are present.
