(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.

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.

(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

CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY
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, the payments and benefits provided in this Section 5(a) are subject to and conditioned upon the Executive executing (and not revoking) a general release and waiver (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Company), waiving all claims the Executive may have against the Company, its successors, assigns, affiliates, executives, officers and directors, and such payments are subject to and conditioned upon the Executive’s compliance with the Restrictive Covenants provided in Sections 7 and 8 hereof. 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
4
CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY
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. In the event the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause (including a deemed termination without Cause as provided in Section 3(f) herein) within two (2) years following a Change in Control (as defined herein), then, in addition to all other 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 (including time and performance based awards) between the Company (or Parent (as defined in Section 7 herein)) and the Executive: (i) any outstanding but unvested options and any restricted stock units 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. 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 amended effective May 15, 2012) for “Change of Control.”
| 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.

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.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “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.
(b) The Executive and the Company agree that the Company would likely suffer significant harm from the Executive’s competing with the Company during the Employment Period and for some period of time thereafter. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that he will not, during the Employment

Period and for a period of one year following the termination of his employment with the Company, 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 in or from any location in the United States. For purposes of this Section 8(b), the term “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 herein) for customers of the Company or its affiliates anywhere in the world.

(d) The Executive shall not defame or disparage the Parent, the Company, their affiliates and their officers, directors, members or executives. 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 to the Company:
Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC
Attention: General Counsel
0000 Xxxx XxXxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000
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.
(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 (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
7
CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY
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.
(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 agree 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, as a result of Section 954 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended, and similar or related laws, rules and regulations.
