By signing below, I understand and agree that:

 

I previously received the Offer to Exchange, the Election Form and the Form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.  I completed, signed and returned the Election Form, thereby electing to exchange some or all of my eligible option grants for restricted stock units of National Semiconductor Corporation (“National”) or a cash payment as described in the Offer to Exchange.  I now wish to withdraw one or more of my tendered option grants from the offer and/or change my election to tender eligible option grants.  I understand that by signing this Notice of Withdrawal/Change of Election Form and delivering it to BNY Mellon pursuant to the instructions above, I elect to tender the eligible option grants as listed in Annex A or else reject the offer with respect to all my eligible options as I have indicated by checking the appropriate box in Annex A.

 

By withdrawing my election, I understand that I will not receive any restricted stock units for, and will continue to hold, the options withdrawn from the offer, which will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable existing stock option agreement(s) between National Semiconductor and me. The withdrawal of my eligible options is at my own discretion.

 

With respect to any changes in the options tendered for exchange pursuant to this Notice of Withdrawal/Change of Election Form, I understand that the Election Form acknowledgements I signed previously acknowledging the terms and conditions of the exchange offer govern my election under this document as well.

 

I understand that if I wish to change this withdrawal or change of election with respect to my eligible options and once again accept the offer for any options that I have withdrawn or elected not to exchange, I must make a change in election online or submit a new Notice of Withdrawal/Change of Election Form that must be received by BNY Mellon prior to the expiration of the offer.
