Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation. ON Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), plans to make a tender offer (such tender offer, as it may be amended and supplemented, the “Tender Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 co-issued by the Company and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (the “Notes”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement (as the same may be amended or supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”). Simultaneously with the Tender Offer, the Company will solicit (the “Solicitation”) consents (the “Consents”) from the holders of the Notes to certain amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture (the “Indenture”) pursuant to which such Notes were issued. The Tender Offer and the Solicitation will be on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Offer to Purchase, the related cover letters and any other documents, materials or filings (including press releases or other communications as approved in writing by the Company), relating to the Tender Offer and the Solicitation to be used or made by the Company in connection with the Tender Offer and the Solicitation, including, but not limited to, any materials hereafter incorporated by reference therein, to be distributed to holders of the Notes as contemplated by the Offer to Purchase, and in each case as amended or supplemented from time to time, are referred to herein collectively as the “Tender Offer and Solicitation Material.”

2. Engagement as Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent. (a) The Company hereby engages Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated as Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent (the “Dealer Manager”) in connection with the Tender Offer and the Solicitation. As Dealer Manager, you agree, in accordance with your customary practice, to perform in connection with the Tender Offer and the Solicitation those services that are customarily performed by investment banking concerns in connection with similar tender offers and consent solicitations, including the solicitation of tenders and Consents pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer and the Solicitation. The performance by you of such services hereunder shall commence on the date of the mailing (the “Commencement Date”) of the Offer to Purchase and related cover letters and documents to each holder of record of the Notes.

(b) You have been engaged to act as Dealer Manager in connection with the Tender Offer and the Solicitation and, in such capacity, you shall act as an independent contractor, not as an agent, with duties owed solely to the Company. In connection with the solicitation of tenders and Consents, no broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other

nominee is to be deemed to be acting as your agent or as agent of the Company, and you shall not be deemed to be an agent of the Company, any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or any other person. The Company expressly acknowledges that all opinions and advice (written or oral) given by you to the Company in connection with your engagement are intended solely for the benefit and use of the Company (including its management, directors and attorneys) in considering the transactions to which such opinions or advice relate.

3. The Tender Offer and Solicitation Material. (a) The Company agrees to furnish you, at its own expense, with as many copies as you may reasonably request of the Offer to Purchase and any amendments or supplements thereto and any other Tender Offer and Solicitation Material to be used by the Company in connection with the Tender Offer and the Solicitation.

(b) The Company agrees that, at a reasonable time prior to using any Tender Offer and Solicitation Material, the Company will furnish to you a reasonable number of copies of such material and will give reasonable consideration to your and your counsel’s comments, if any, thereon.

(c) Prior to and during the period of the Tender Offer and the Solicitation, the Company shall inform you promptly after it receives notice or becomes aware of the happening of any event, or the discovery of any fact, that would require the making of any change in any Tender Offer and Solicitation Material then being used so that the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material would not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, or would affect the truth or completeness of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement if such representation or warranty were being made immediately after the happening of such event or the discovery of such fact.

(d) The Dealer Manager hereby agrees that, without the prior consent of the Company (which consent the Company agrees will not be unreasonably withheld), the Dealer Manager will not hereafter publicly disseminate any written materials to holders of Notes for or in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer or the Solicitation of Consents, other than the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material.

4. Withdrawal. In the event that:

(a) the Company uses or permits the use the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material or any amendment or supplement thereto and such document (i) has not been submitted to you previously for your and your counsel’s comments or (ii) has been so submitted, and you or your counsel have made comments that have not been reflected in a manner reasonably satisfactory to you and your counsel;

(b) the Company shall have breached, in any material respect, any of its representations, warranties, agreements or covenants herein;

(c) the Tender Offer and the Solicitation are terminated or withdrawn for any reason or any stop order, restraining order, injunction or denial of an application for approval has

(d) you shall not have received (i) on the Commencement Date the opinion of counsel described in Section 9(a) hereof and (ii) on the Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), certificates of executive officers of the Company as described in Section 9(b) hereof,

In the event of any such withdrawal by you as the Dealer Manager, for purposes of determining the fees payable pursuant to Section 5, the principal amount of Notes tendered (and not subsequently withdrawn) pursuant to the Tender Offer as of the close of business on the date of such withdrawal that are thereafter acquired by the Company pursuant to the Tender Offer shall be deemed to have been acquired as of the date of such withdrawal, and such fees accrued through the date of such withdrawal shall be paid to you promptly after such date.

All payments to be made pursuant to this Section 6 shall be made promptly after the expiration or termination of the

Tender Offer and the Solicitation (or when required pursuant to Section 4). The Company shall perform its obligations as set forth in this Section 6 whether or not the Tender Offer and the Solicitation are commenced or the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates acquires any Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer or otherwise or receives any Consents pursuant to the Solicitation or otherwise.

7. Securities Lists; Depositary; Information Agent. (a) The Company shall provide you or cause the Trustee under the Indenture and The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to provide you with copies of the records or other lists showing the names and addresses of, and principal amounts of Notes held by, the holders of Notes as of a recent date and shall, from and after such date, use its best efforts to cause you to be advised from day to day during the pendency of the Tender Offer and the Solicitation of all transfers of Notes, such notification consisting of the name and address of the transferor and transferee of any Notes and the date of such transfer.

(b) to provide to you promptly any other information relating to the Tender Offer or the Solicitation that you may from time to time reasonably request;

(c) that, if any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material is distributed to a holder of Notes, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of the Dealer Manager or the Company, it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material to comply with applicable law, the Company shall promptly notify the Dealer Manager, prepare an amendment or supplement to the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, and supply such amended or supplemented Tender Offer and Solicitation Material to the Dealer Manager; and

11. Indemnification and Contribution; Settlement of Litigation; Release. (a) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless you and your affiliates and your and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and each other person, if any, controlling you or any of your affiliates (you and each such affiliate, officer, director, employee,

agent and other person being an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses whatsoever (each a “Loss” and collectively the “Losses”), and will reimburse each Indemnified Person for all expenses reasonably incurred (including fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any Loss, action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (whether or not pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party), in each case related to, arising out of or in connection with (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) the Tender Offer and the Solicitation, (iii) the purchase of Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer and the payment for Consents pursuant to the Solicitation, (iv) the execution of the Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes, (v) all other actions contemplated in the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material with respect to the Tender Offer and the Solicitation, (vi) any breach by the Company of any representation or warranty or failure to comply with any of the covenants or the agreements contained herein, (vii) any advice or services rendered or to be rendered by an Indemnified Person pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or (viii) any withdrawal or termination by the Company of, or failure by the Company to commence or consummate, the Tender Offer and the Solicitation. The Company shall not, however, be required so to indemnify any Indemnified Person for any Losses (or expenses relating thereto) to the extent that such Losses (or expenses relating thereto) are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The Company also acknowledges and agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company or any other person for any act or omission on the part of any broker or dealer in securities or any commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company or any other person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arising from or in connection with any act or omission in performing your obligations hereunder or otherwise in connection with the Tender Offer and the Solicitation, the purchase of Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer and the payment for Consents pursuant to the Solicitation, the execution, delivery and performance of the Supplemental Indenture or any other action contemplated in the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material, except to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

(b) If a claim is made against any Indemnified Person as to which such Indemnified Person may seek indemnity under this Section 11, such Indemnified Person shall notify the Company promptly after any written assertion of such claim threatening to institute an action or proceeding with respect thereto and shall notify the Company promptly of any action commenced against such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after such Indemnified Person shall have been served with a summons or other first legal process giving information as to the nature and basis of the claim. Failure so to notify the Company shall not, however, relieve the Company from any liability which it may have on account of the indemnity under this Section 11 if it has not been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure. The Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the Company may

designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and the Indemnified Person and representation of either party by the same counsel, in the judgment of the Dealer Manager, would be inappropriate because of actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Company shall not, in connection with any litigation or proceeding or related litigation or proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons that do not have actual or potential differing interests as among themselves, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Dealer Manager.

(c) The Company shall not, without your prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from any liabilities arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of, an Indemnified Person. No Indemnified Person seeking indemnification, reimbursement or contribution under this Agreement will, without the prior written consent of the Company, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding referred to in the preceding paragraph.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 11 is judicially determined to be unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Losses (and expenses relating thereto) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Dealer Manager, on the other hand, of the Tender Offer and the Solicitation or (ii) if the allocation provided by the preceding clause (i) is not available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Dealer Manger, on the other hand, in connection with any matter that has resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, in no event shall your aggregate portion of the amount paid or payable exceed the aggregate amount of fees actually received by you under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 11, the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Dealer Manager, on the other hand, of the Tender Offer and the Solicitation shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total value paid or contemplated to be paid or received or contemplated to be received by the Company in the transactions that are the subject of the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material, whether or not any such transaction is consummated, bears to the aggregate fees paid or to be paid to the Dealer Manager under this Agreement. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the

Dealer Manager, on the other hand, (x) in the case of any untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by the Dealer Manager, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and (y) in the case of any other action or omission, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether such action or omission was taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or its affiliates or by the Dealer Manager, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or omission.

(e) The Company and the Dealer Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the Losses referred to in this Section 11 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The remedies provided for in this Agreement are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

(g) The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company and the Dealer Manager and any other Indemnified Persons.

12. Full Force and Effect. The provisions of Sections 8, 11, 13, 19, 20 and 25 hereof shall apply to the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material and any modification thereof and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any failure to commence, or the withdrawal, termination, expiration or consummation of, the Tender Offer and the Solicitation or the termination or assignment of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person, (iii) any withdrawal by you pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise and (iv) the completion of your services hereunder.

13. Confidentiality. Any advice or opinions provided by you will not be disclosed or referred to publicly or to any third party (other than to attorneys and accountants of the Company who agree to keep such advice or opinions confidential) except in accordance with your prior written consent or as may be required by applicable laws. The Company agrees that any reference to you in the Tender Offer and Solicitation Material, or in any other release or communication relating to the Tender Offer or the Solicitation, is subject to your prior written approval.

14. Trading Activities. The Company acknowledges that you are a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities, as well as providing investment banking and financial advisory services. In the ordinary course of your trading and brokerage activities, any of you or your affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for your or its own account or the accounts of customers, in debt or equity securities of the Company or any other company that may be involved in the Tender Offer and the Solicitation.

15. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon the earlier of (a) the expiration, withdrawal or termination of the Tender Offer, (b) the date of the Dealer Manager’s withdrawal pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement or (c) the time and date at which this Agreement is terminated by the mutual consent of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the termination of the Agreement pursuant to this Section 15, the right to compensation and reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement, accrued prior to the date of such termination, and the indemnity and the other provisions set forth in Sections 11 and 12 hereof will remain operative.

16. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the agreements contained herein is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

b. The Company has corporate power to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Offer to Purchase and the documents incorporated by reference therein, and the Company has corporate power to commence and consummate the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation in the manner contemplated by the Offer to Purchase, enter into the Dealer Manager Agreement and perform its obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement.

The statements set forth under the heading “Certain Material U.S. Income Tax Consequences” in the Offer to Purchase, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain federal income tax laws of the United States, constitute a fair summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.

e. The commencement and consummation by the Company of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation in the manner contemplated by the Offer to Purchase and the performance by the Company of the obligations contemplated by the Offer to Purchase and the Dealer Manager Agreement do not and will not (a) require any notice to or any filing, consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority of the United States of America or the State of New York that in our experience is normally applicable to general business entities with respect to such commencement, consummation, or performance (but we express no opinion relating to the United States federal securities laws or any state securities or Blue Sky laws except as set forth in numbered paragraphs 6 and 7 below), (b) result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any of the agreements of, or other instruments binding upon, the Issuer or any Guarantor filed as exhibits to the documents incorporated by reference in the Offer to Purchase, the Dealer Manager Agreement or the Indenture, or any of the Certificates of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, the Malaysia Sub, the Czech Sub, the China Sub or the Puerto Rico Sub or the Certificate of Limited Liability Company or Limited Liability Company Agreement of SCI LLC or SCGID LLC or (c) result in a violation of any United States federal or New York State law or published rule or regulation that in our experience is normally applicable to general business entities with respect to such commencement, consummation, or performance (but we express no opinion relating to the United States federal securities laws or any state securities or Blue Sky laws except as set forth in numbered paragraphs 6 and 7 below).

f. The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the commencement and consummation by the Company of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation in the manner contemplated by the Offer to Purchase will not require registration of the Company as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

g. Assuming that the Offer to Purchase, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, does not make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the commencement and consummation by the Company of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation in the manner contemplated by the Offer to Purchase and the performance by the Company of the obligations contemplated by the Offer to Purchase and the Dealer Manager Agreement comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or published rules and regulations thereunder (including, but not limited to, Section 14 of the Exchange Act and Rules 14e-1 and 14e-2 thereunder).
