NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1:  Background and Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2001 include the accounts of ON Semiconductor Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the majority-owned subsidiaries that it controls (collectively, the “Company”). An investment in a majority-owned joint venture that the Company does not control is accounted for on the equity method. Investments in companies that represent less than 20% of the related voting stock are accounted for on the cost basis. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

      The accompanying unaudited financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2001.

      The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

      On August 4, 1999, the Company was recapitalized and certain related transactions were effected (the “Recapitalization”) pursuant to an agreement among ON Semiconductor Corporation, its primary domestic operating subsidiary, Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (“SCI LLC”), Motorola and affiliates of Texas Pacific Group. As a result of the Recapitalization, affiliates of Texas Pacific Group owned approximately 91% and Motorola owned approximately 9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. In addition, as part of these transactions, Texas Pacific Group received 1,500 shares and Motorola received 590 shares of the Company’s mandatorily redeemable preferred stock with a liquidation value of $209 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Motorola also received a $91 million junior subordinated note issued by SCI LLC. Cash payments to Motorola in connection with the Recapitalization were financed through equity investments by affiliates of Texas Pacific Group totaling $337.5 million, borrowings totaling $740.5 million under the Company’s $875 million senior bank facilities and the issuance of $400 million of 12% senior subordinated notes due August 2009. Because Texas Pacific Group’s affiliates did not acquire substantially all of the Company’s common stock, the basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes was not impacted by the Recapitalization.

      On May 3, 2000, the Company completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock, selling 34.5 million shares with an issue price of $16 per share. Net proceeds from the IPO (after deducting issuance costs) were approximately $514.8 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem all outstanding preferred stock (including accrued dividends), redeem a portion of the senior subordinated notes and prepay a portion of the loans outstanding under the senior bank facilities.

      As described above, the Company utilized a portion of the net proceeds from its IPO to redeem a portion of its senior subordinated notes and prepay a portion of the loans outstanding under its senior bank facilities. In connection therewith, the Company incurred prepayment penalties and redemption premiums of $17.3 million and wrote off $11.9 million of debt issuance costs. These amounts, totaling $29.2 million ($17.5 million or $0.11 per share, net of income taxes), have been classified as an extraordinary loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Note 2:  Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

      Effective January 1, 2001, the Company changed its accounting method for recognizing revenue on sales to distributors. Recognition of revenue and related gross profit on sales to distributors is now deferred until the distributor resells the product. Deferred income on sales to distributors was $136.1 million at June 29, 2001.

      Management of the Company believes that this accounting change is to a preferable method because it better aligns reported results with, focuses the Company on, and allows investors to better understand end user demand for the products the Company sells through distribution. This revenue recognition policy is commonly used in the semiconductor industry.

      The cumulative effect of the accounting change for periods prior to January 1, 2001 was a charge of $155.2 million ($116.4 million or $0.67 per share, net of income taxes) and was recorded in the six months ended June 29, 2001. The accounting change resulted in a reduction of the Company’s net loss in the six months ended June 29, 2001 of $26.4 million, or $0.15 per share.

      The estimated pro forma effects of the accounting change are as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

Note 3:     Acquisition

      On April 3, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Cherry Semiconductor Corporation (“Cherry”) for approximately $250 million in cash, which was financed with cash on hand and borrowings of $220 million under the Company’s senior bank facilities. Cherry, which was renamed Semiconductor Components Industries of Rhode Island, Inc., designs and manufactures analog and mixed signal integrated circuits for the power management and automotive markets, and had revenues for its fiscal year ended February 29, 2000 of $129.1 million.

      The Cherry acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and as a result, the purchase price plus related costs was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities

assumed at the time of the acquisition based on independent appraisals and management estimates as follows (in millions):

         
Fair value of tangible net assets
  $ 71.3  
Developed technology
    59.3  
In-process research and development
    26.9  
Assembled work force
    10.0  
Excess of purchase price over net assets acquired (goodwill)
    85.7  
     
 
    $ 253.2  
     
 

      Developed technology and assembled workforce are being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of five years while goodwill is being amortized over an estimated life of ten years.

      The fair value of the acquired in-process research and development was determined using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value. Significant assumptions that had to be made in using this approach included revenue and operating margin projections and determination of the applicable discount rate. The fair value of the acquired in-process research and development was based on sales forecasts and cost assumptions projected to be achievable by Cherry on a standalone basis. Operating margins were based on cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues. All projected revenue and cost information was based on historical results and trends and do not include any synergies or cost savings that may result from the acquisition. The rate used to discount future projected cash flows resulting from the acquired in-process research and development was 20 percent which was derived from a weighted average cost of capital analysis adjusted upward to reflect additional risks inherent in the development life cycle.

      At the date of acquisition, the in-process research and development had not yet reached technological feasibility and no alternative future uses had been identified. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date. The expected release dates for the products incorporating the acquired technology vary, but the Company expects that such products will be completed and begin to generate cash flows in 2001. The ultimate development of these technologies remains a significant risk due to the remaining efforts required to achieve technical viability, rapidly changing customer markets, uncertain standards for new products and significant competitive threats from numerous companies. The nature of the efforts to develop the acquired technology into commercially viable products consists principally of design and development, engineering and testing activities necessary to determine that the product can meet market expectations, including functionality and technical requirements. Failure to bring these products to market in a timely manner could result in a loss of market share, or a lost opportunity to capitalize on emerging markets, and could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results.

      The forecasts used in valuing the acquired in-process research and development were based upon assumptions the Company believes are reasonable; however, such assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances are likely to occur. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions used to estimate expected project sales or profits, or the events associated with such projects, will transpire as estimated. For these reasons, actual results may vary from the projected results.

      Cherry’s results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated results from the date of acquisition. The following pro forma disclosures present the Company’s results of operations for the six

Note 5:  Restructuring and Other Charges

      In June 2001, the Company recorded a $95.8 million charge to cover costs associated with a worldwide restructuring program. This program includes phasing out of manufacturing operations at the Company’s Guadalajara, Mexico facility, transferring certain manufacturing activities performed at the Company’s Aizu, Japan and Seremban, Malaysia facilities to other Company-owned facilities or to third party contractors and consolidation of other operations. The charge includes $43.6 million to cover employee separation costs associated with the termination of approximately 3,200 employees, asset impairments of $42.2 million and $10.0 million of other costs primarily related to facility closures and contract terminations. The asset impairments were charged directly against the related assets. Employee separation costs included $1.1 million of non-cash charges associated with the acceleration of vesting of stock options for terminated employees and $6.1 million for additional pension charges related to terminated employees. As of June 29, 2001, the remaining liability relating to this restructuring was $38.6 million. As of June 29, 2001, 532 employees have been terminated under this restructuring plan.

      In March 2001, the Company recorded a $34.2 million charge to cover costs associated with a worldwide restructuring program involving manufacturing locations as well as selling and administrative functions. The charge included $31.3 million to cover employee separation costs associated with the termination of approximately 1,100 employees and $2.9 million for asset impairments that were charged directly against the related assets. As of June 29, 2001, the remaining liability relating to this restructuring was $3.2 million. As of June 29, 2001, 610 employees have been terminated under this restructuring plan.

      Also in March 2001, the Company recorded a $3.8 million charge to cover costs associated with the separation of one of the Company’s executive officers. In connection with the separation, the Company paid

the former executive officer $1.9 million. In addition, the Company agreed to accelerate the vesting of his remaining stock options and to allow such options to remain exercisable for the remainder of their ten-year term. The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $1.9 million related to the modification of these options.

      In March 2000, the Company recorded a $4.8 million charge to cover costs associated with a restructuring program at its manufacturing facility in Guadalajara, Mexico. The charge included $3.2 million to cover employee separation costs associated with the termination of approximately 500 employees and $1.6 million for asset impairments that were charged directly against the related assets. As of June 29, 2001 there was no remaining liability related to the 2000 restructuring program.

Note 6:  Sale of Investment in Joint Venture

      The Company had a 50% interest in Semiconductor Miniatures Products Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“SMP”). As a part of the joint venture agreement, the Company’s joint venture partner, Philips Semiconductors International B.V. (“Philips”), had the right to purchase the Company’s interest in SMP between January 2001 and July 2002. On February 1, 2001, Philips exercised its purchase right, acquiring the Company’s 50% interest in SMP. This transaction resulted in proceeds of approximately $20.4 million and a pre-tax gain of approximately $3.1 million.

Note 7:  Earnings per Common Share

      Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available for common stock (net income (loss) adjusted for dividends accrued on the Company’s redeemable preferred stock) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share incorporates the incremental impact of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options. The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. For the

Note 8:  Long-Term Debt

      At June 29, 2001, the Company had $994.3 million outstanding under its senior bank facilities. The senior bank facilities require the Company to maintain compliance with certain covenants and restrictions. At June 29, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with covenants requiring the maintenance of minimum interest expense and leverage coverage ratios. The Company has received a waiver in respect of such noncompliance at June 29, 2001 (and in respect of any future noncompliance with such covenants through December 31, 2002). In connection with such waiver, the Company has amended its senior bank facilities. The key terms of this amendment are as follows:

  •  Minimum interest expense coverage ratio and leverage coverage ratio requirements for periods between January 31, 2003 through December 31, 2005 have been reduced, maximum capital expenditure limits have been reduced and covenants requiring the maintenance of a minimum cash and cash equivalent

  balance until certain financial ratios are achieved and minimum EBITDA levels through December 31, 2002 have been added;
 
  •  The Company is required to obtain $100 million through an equity investment from its principal shareholder, an affiliate of Texas Pacific Group, by September 7, 2001;
 
  •  The interest rate spread on outstanding borrowings will increase to 3.0% with respect to alternate base rate loans and 4.0% with respect to Eurodollar loans. Payment of such interest will be required on a monthly basis. Additionally, a supplemental interest charge of 2.0% will accrue through September 30, 2001, increasing to 3.0% for the period October 1, 2001 through March 31, 2003. Fifty percent of such supplemental interest must be paid by March 31, 2003 with the balance due by June 30, 2003. To the extent that the full amount of such supplemental interest is not paid on March 31, 2003, additional supplemental interest for the period of March 31, 2003 through June 30, 2003 will accrue at a rate of 3.0% on a portion of the outstanding borrowings, which portion is equal to the percentage of supplemental interest accrued but unpaid on March  31, 2003. Such additional supplemental interest will be due by June 30, 2002. As a result of these amendments, the Company’s interest expense on an annual basis is expected to increase by approximately $29.5 million; and
 
  •  Certain mandatory prepayment provisions contained in the original agreement have been revised.

      The Company believes that, pursuant to its current business plans, it will be able to maintain compliance with the revised covenants as outlined above.

      In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company and SCI LLC, (collectively, the “Issuers”), issued $400.0 million senior subordinated notes due 2009. As of June 29, 2001, $260.0 million of the senior subordinated notes were outstanding. The Company’s other domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed the Issuers’ obligations under the senior subordinated notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries include holding companies whose net assets consist primarily of investments in the Company’s foreign joint ventures in China and the Czech Republic and nominal equity interests in certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries as well as Semiconductor Components Industries of Rhode Island, Inc. The foreign joint ventures and the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) themselves are not guarantors of the senior subordinated notes.

      The Company does not believe that the separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries provide any additional information that would be material to investors in making an investment decision. Condensed consolidating financial information for the Issuers, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries follows (in millions):

Note 9:  Commitments and Contingencies

      The Company is currently involved in a variety of legal matters that arose in the normal course of business. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including the matters described below, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

      In July 2001 two purported stockholder class actions (“Shareholder Litigation”) were filed against the Company, certain officers and directors of the Company, and five investment banking firms who acted as underwriters in connection with our IPO in April 2000. The Shareholder Litigation was filed in the United States District Court — Southern District of New York and generally alleges that the IPO offering documents failed to disclose: (1) certain underwriter fees and commissions and (2) underwriter tie-in and other arrangements with certain customers that impacted the price of the Company’s stock in the aftermarket. The Shareholder Litigation is in the initial phases and the Company intends to vigorously defend against the suits.

Note 11:  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, which establishes standards for the accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities became effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001.

      The Company’s interest rate swaps in effect at January 1, 2001 have been designated as cash flow hedges, are measured at fair value and recorded as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Upon the adoption of SFAS 133, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of approximately $3.4 million to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of January 1, 2001. This charge consists of an approximate $2.1 million adjustment necessary to record the Company’s interest rate swaps in the consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as well as the write-off of an approximate $3.5 million deferred charge (included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000) relating to the payment made in December 2000 for the early termination of an interest rate protection agreement relating to a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Company’s senior bank facilities, both before income taxes of approximately $2.2 million. The Company recorded a $2.6 million after-tax charge to accumulated other comprehensive income during the first six months of 2001 to adjust its cash flow hedge to fair-value at June 29, 2001

      The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on its results of operations and cash flows. The fair value of these derivative instruments are recorded as assets or liabilities with gains and losses offsetting the gains and losses on the

underlying assets or liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 133 did not impact the Company’s accounting and reporting for these derivative instruments.

      In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS No. 142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized, but are required to be tested for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount exceeds fair value. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 except for goodwill acquired in a business acquisition occurring after June 30, 2001, which will not be amortized. At June 29, 2001, the Company had unamortized goodwill of $75.0 million related to the Cherry acquisition that will be impacted by this new standard. Annual goodwill amortization approximates $8.6 million, which will be discontinued in 2002 as a result of this standard.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

      You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2001. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to certain factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

      ON Semiconductor is a global supplier of high performance broadband and power management integrated circuits and standard semiconductors used in numerous advanced devices ranging from high speed fiber optic networking equipment to the precise power management functions found in today’s advanced portable electronics.

      Recent developments. During the first six months of 2001, we experienced slowing demand and pricing pressures for our products as customers delayed or cancelled bookings in order to manage their inventories in line with incoming business. As we enter the third quarter of 2001, market demand continues to be soft and visibility to our customers’ expected requirements remains poor. We expect revenues in the third quarter of 2001 to be down slightly from the second quarter.

      In the fourth quarter of 2000 we began to implement a phased cost reduction plan (“the Plan”), which includes strict expense controls, reduced capital expenditures, restructuring of our manufacturing operations and reductions in selling and administrative costs. As a result of these efforts, we incurred restructuring and other charges of $95.8 million in the second quarter of 2001 and a total of $133.8 million in the first six months of 2001. The three principal elements of the Plan that were implemented in the second quarter of 2001 were: accelerating a five-year manufacturing restructure plan into a two-year plan; reducing our selling and administrative costs; and aggressively focusing on liquidity. We expect the actions implemented in the second quarter of 2001, the savings from which will not be fully realized until 2002, will ultimately generate annualized savings of approximately $300 million. When combined with the restructure and cost reduction actions taken in the first quarter of 2001 and the fourth quarter of 2000, we expect the Plan to generate total savings of $190 million in 2001, and to ultimately generate annualized savings of approximately $400 million.

      At June 29, 2001, we had $994.3 million outstanding under our senior bank facilities. The senior bank facilities require us to maintain compliance with certain covenants and restrictions. At June 29, 2001, we were not in compliance with covenants requiring the maintenance of minimum interest expense and leverage coverage ratios. We have received a waiver in respect of such noncompliance at June 29, 2001 (and in respect of any future noncompliance with such covenants through December 31, 2002). In connection with such waiver, we have amended our senior bank facilities. The key terms of this amendment are as follows:

•  Minimum interest expense coverage ratio and leverage coverage ratio requirements for periods between January 31, 2003 through December 31, 2005 have been reduced, maximum capital expenditure limits have been reduced and covenants requiring the maintenance of a minimum cash and cash equivalent balance until certain financial ratios are achieved and minimum EBITDA levels through December 31, 2002 have been added;
 
•  We are required to obtain $100 million through an equity investment from our principal shareholder, an affiliate of Texas Pacific Group, by September 7, 2001;
 
•  The interest rate spread on outstanding borrowings will increase to 3.0% with respect to alternate base rate loans and 4.0% with respect to Eurodollar loans. Payment of such interest will be required on a monthly basis. Additionally, a supplemental interest charge of 2.0% will accrue through September 30, 2001, increasing to 3.0% for the period October 1, 2001 through March 31, 2003. Fifty percent of such supplemental interest must be paid by March 31, 2003 with the balance due by June  30, 2003. To the extent that the full amount of such supplemental interest is not paid on March 31, 2003, additional supplemental interest for the period of March 31, 2003 through June 30, 2003 will accrue at a rate of 3.0% on a portion of the outstanding borrowings, which portion is equal to the percentage of supplemental interest accrued but unpaid on March 31, 2003. Such additional supplemental interest will be due by June 30, 2002. As a result

of these amendments, our interest expense on an annual basis is expected to increase by approximately $29.5 million; and
 
•  Certain mandatory prepayment provisions contained in the original agreement have been revised.

      We believe that, pursuant to our current business plans, we will be able to maintain compliance with the revised covenants as outlined above.

      Recapitalization and Initial Public Offering. Immediately prior to our August 4, 1999 recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”), we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola. We held and continue to hold, through direct and indirect subsidiaries, substantially all of the assets and operations of the Semiconductor Components Group of Motorola’s Semiconductor Products Sector (“SCG”). As part of our Recapitalization, affiliates of the Texas Pacific Group purchased our common shares from Motorola for $337.5 million, and we redeemed common stock held by Motorola for a total of approximately $952 million. As a result, Texas Pacific Group’s affiliates owned approximately 91% and Motorola owned approximately 9% of our voting common stock. To finance a portion of the Recapitalization, Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (“SCI LLC”), our primary domestic operating subsidiary, borrowed $740.5 million under senior secured bank facilities, we and SCI LLC issued $400 million of senior subordinated notes and SCI LLC issued a $91 million junior subordinated note to Motorola. We also issued mandatorily redeemable preferred stock with a total liquidation preference of $209 million to Motorola and Texas Pacific Group’s affiliates. Because Texas Pacific Group’s affiliates did not acquire substantially all of SCG’s common stock, the basis of SCG’s assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes was not impacted by our Recapitalization. At the time of the Recapitalization, Motorola agreed to provide us with transition and manufacturing services in order to facilitate our transition to a stand-alone company independent of Motorola.

      On May 3, 2000, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock (the “IPO”), selling 34.5 million shares with an issue price of $16 per share. Net proceeds from the IPO (after deducting issuance costs) were approximately $514.8 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem all outstanding preferred stock (including accrued dividends), redeem a portion of the senior subordinated notes and prepay a portion of the loans outstanding under the senior bank facilities.

      As described above, we utilized a portion of the net proceeds from our IPO to redeem a portion of our senior subordinated notes and prepay a portion of the loans outstanding under our senior bank facilities. In connection therewith, we incurred prepayment penalties and redemption premiums of $17.3 million and wrote off $11.9 million of debt issuance costs. These amounts, totaling $29.2 million ($17.5 million or $0.11 per share, net of income taxes), have been classified as an extraordinary loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2000.

      Acquisition. On April 3, 2000, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Cherry Semiconductor Corporation (“Cherry”) for approximately $250 million in cash, which was financed with cash on hand and borrowings of $220 million under our senior bank facilities. Cherry, which was renamed Semiconductor Components Industries of Rhode Island, Inc., designs and manufactures analog and mixed signal integrated circuits for the power management and automotive markets, and had revenues for its fiscal year ended February 29, 2000 of $129.1 million.

      The Cherry acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and as a result, the purchase price plus related costs was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the time of the acquisition based on independent appraisals and management estimates as follows (in millions):

         
Fair value of tangible net assets
  $ 71.3  
Developed technology
    59.3  
In-process research and development
    26.9  
Assembled work force
    10.0  
Excess of purchase price over net assets acquired (goodwill)
    85.7  
     
 
    $ 253.2

Table of Contents

      Developed technology and assembled workforce are being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of five years while goodwill is being amortized over an estimated life of ten years.

      The fair value of the acquired in-process research and development was determined using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value. Significant assumptions that had to be made in using this approach included revenue and operating margin projections and determination of the applicable discount rate. The fair value of the acquired in-process research and development was based on sales forecasts and cost assumptions projected to be achievable by Cherry on a standalone basis. Operating margins were based on cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues. All projected revenue and cost information was based on historical results and trends and do not include any synergies or cost savings that may result from the acquisition. The rate used to discount future projected cash flows resulting from the acquired in-process research and development was 20 percent which was derived from a weighted average cost of capital analysis adjusted upward to reflect additional risks inherent in the development life cycle.

      At the date of acquisition, the in-process research and development had not yet reached technological feasibility and no alternative future uses had been identified. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date. The expected release dates for the products incorporating the acquired technology vary, but we expect that such products will be completed and begin to generate cash flows in 2001. The ultimate development of these technologies remains a significant risk due to the remaining efforts required to achieve technical viability, rapidly changing customer markets, uncertain standards for new products and significant competitive threats from numerous companies. The nature of the efforts to develop the acquired technology into commercially viable products consists principally of design and development, engineering and testing activities necessary to determine that the product can meet market expectations, including functionality and technical requirements. Failure to bring these products to market in a timely manner could result in a loss of market share, or a lost opportunity to capitalize on emerging markets, and could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results.

      The forecasts used in valuing the acquired in-process research and development were based upon assumptions we believe are reasonable; however, such assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances are likely to occur. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions used to estimate expected project sales or profits, or the events associated with such projects, will transpire as estimated. For these reasons, actual results may vary from the projected results.

      Cherry’s results of operations have been included in our consolidated results from the date of acquisition. The following pro forma disclosures present the Company’s results of operations for the six months ended July 1, 2000 as if we had acquired Cherry as of January 1, 2000 (in millions, except per share data):

         
Total revenues
  $ 1,073.7  
Net income before extraordinary loss
  $ 38.0  
Net income
  $ 20.5  
Diluted earnings per share before extraordinary loss
  $ 0.19  
Diluted earnings per share
  $ 0.08  

      These amounts include the results of Cherry for the first quarter of 2000 and are adjusted to reflect interest and amortization charges that would have occurred had the purchase taken place on January 1, 2000. The amounts are based upon certain assumptions and estimates, and do not reflect any benefit from any cost savings which might be achieved from combined operations. The pro forma results are not indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated as of January 1, 2000.

Results of Operations

      Cumulative effect of accounting change. Effective January 1, 2001, we changed our accounting method for recognizing revenue on sales to distributors. Recognition of revenue and related gross profit on sales to distributors is now deferred until the distributor resells the product. Deferred income on sales to distributors was $136.1 million at June 29, 2001.

21


Table of Contents

      We believe that this accounting change is to a preferable method because it better aligns reported results with, focuses us on, and allows investors to better understand end user demand for the products we sell through distribution. This revenue recognition policy is commonly used in the semiconductor industry.

      The cumulative effect of the accounting change for periods prior to January 1, 2001 was a charge of $155.2 million ($116.4 million or $0.67 per share, net of income taxes) and was recorded in the six months ended June 29, 2001. The accounting change resulted in a reduction of our net loss in the six months ended June 29, 2001 of $26.4 million, or $0.15 per share.

      Earnings per common share. Our diluted earnings per share on an actual and adjusted basis for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2001, are as follows:

      Total revenues. Total revenues decreased $205.7 million, or 39.8%, to $310.7 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $516.4 million in the second quarter of 2000, due to reduced demand for our products resulting from the recent economic downturn and actions taken by our customers to manage their inventories in line with incoming business and due to the phasing out of the foundry revenues to Motorola.

      Net product revenues. Net product revenues decreased $189.6 million, or 38.2%, to $307.3 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $496.9 million in the second quarter of 2000. The decrease occurred in all of our major product families. Approximately 63% of this decrease was due to reduced volume with the remainder due to reductions in selling prices, partially offset by increases due to changes in our product mix. Net revenues for standard analog products, which accounted for 28.9% of net product revenues in the second quarter of 2001, decreased 35.2% compared to the second quarter of 2000. Net revenues from broadband products, which accounted for 10.3% of net product revenues in the second quarter of 2001 decreased 61.8%

23


Table of Contents

from the second quarter of 2000. Net revenues for discrete and standard logic products, which accounted for 60.8% of net product revenues in the second quarter of 2001, decreased 32.6% compared to the second quarter of 2000.

      Approximately 40%, 37% and 23% of our net product revenues in the second quarter of 2001 were derived from the Americas, Asia/ Pacific and Europe (including the Middle East), respectively, compared to 49%, 31% and 20%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2000.

      Foundry revenues. Foundry revenues decreased $16.1 million, or 82.6%, to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $19.5 million in the second quarter of 2000. These foundry revenues are a result of agreements made with Motorola during our separation. We expect that these revenues will continue to decline in the future. Motorola continues to be one of our largest original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers.

      Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased $82.2 million, or 24.3%, to $255.6 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $337.8 million in the second quarter of 2000, primarily as a result of decreased sales volume.

      Gross profit. Gross profit (computed as total revenues less cost of sales) decreased $123.5 million, or 69.1%, to $55.1 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $178.6 million in the second quarter of 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin declined to 17.7% (17.8% for product gross margin) in the second quarter of 2001 from 34.6% (35.5% for product gross margin) in the second quarter of 2000. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to lower selling prices, along with lower factory utilization resulting from lower customer demand.

  Operating expenses

      Research and development. Research and development costs increased $5.8 million, or 33.9%, to $22.9 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2000, primarily as a result of our efforts to continue to develop our power management and broadband portfolios. As a percentage of net product revenues, research and development costs increased to 7.5% in the second quarter of 2001 from 3.4% in the second quarter of 2000 because of decreased sales demand accompanied with increased spending on new product development. We introduced 87 new products in the second quarter of 2001. The main emphasis of our new product development is in power management and broadband applications with eighty percent of our overall research and development investment targeted in these areas. Our long-term target for research and development costs is 5-6% of revenues.

      Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $5.4 million, or 20.6%, to $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $26.2 million in the second quarter of 2000 as a result of our restructuring actions. As a percentage of net product revenues, these costs increased to 6.8% in the second quarter of 2001 from 5.3% in the second quarter of 2000 as a result of decreased net product revenues offset by cost savings resulting from our restructuring actions.

      General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $25.6 million, or 43.0% to $34 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $59.6 million in the second quarter of 2000, as a result of cost reduction actions and lower discretionary spending. As a percentage of net product revenues, these costs decreased to 11.1% in the second quarter of 2001 from 12.0% in the second quarter 2000.

      Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles was $5.6 million in second quarter of 2001 compared to $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2000. The amortization relates to the intangible assets that were acquired with Cherry in the second quarter of 2000, including amounts related to developed technology, assembled workforce and goodwill.

      Restructuring and other charges. In June 2001, we recorded a $95.8 million charge to cover costs associated with a worldwide restructuring program. This program includes phasing out of manufacturing operations at our Guadalajara, Mexico facility, transferring certain manufacturing activities performed at our Aizu, Japan and Seremban, Malaysia facilities to other Company-owned facilities or to third party contractors and consolidation of other operations. The charge includes $43.6 million to cover employee separation costs associated with the termination of approximately 3,200 employees, asset impairments of $42.2 million and

24


Table of Contents

$10.0 million of other costs primarily related to facility closures and contract terminations. The asset impairments were charged directly against the related assets. Employee separation costs included $1.1 million of non-cash charges associated with the acceleration of vesting of stock options for terminated employees and $6.1 million for additional pension charges related to terminated employees. As of June 29, 2001, the remaining liability relating to this restructuring was $38.6 million. As of June 29, 2001, 532 employees have been terminated under this restructuring plan.

      Operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) decreased $167.3 million, to a $124.0 million operating loss in the second quarter of 2001 compared to operating income of $43.3 million in the second quarter of 2000. This decrease was due to decreased net product revenues, reduced gross margins and costs associated with our worldwide restructuring program. We expect that the cost reduction plan that we have implemented will result in savings of approximately $190 million in 2001 and will ultimately generate annualized savings of approximately $400 million. Excluding restructuring and other charges, the operating loss for the quarter ended June 29, 2001 would have been $28.2 million compared to operating income of $43.3 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2000.

      Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $4.1 million, or 12.1% to $29.7 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $33.8 million in the second quarter of 2000. The decrease was due the redemption of a portion of the senior subordinated notes and prepayment of a portion of the loans outstanding under the senior bank facilities with the proceeds from our IPO in 2000, partially offset by interest related to the $125.0 million drawn on our revolving line of credit during second quarter of 2001. As a result of the amendments to our senior bank facilities (See “Recent developments”), our interest expense on an annual basis is expected to increase by approximately $29.5 million.

      Equity in earnings of joint ventures. Equity in earnings of joint ventures decreased $0.9 million to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2000, due primarily to decreased capacity utilization at manufacturing facilities at our Chinese joint venture resulting from the decrease in semiconductor market demand. The decrease is also attributable to the February 2001 sale of our interest in our SMP joint venture.

      Minority interests. Minority interests represent the portion of net income (loss) of two Czech joint ventures attributable to the minority owners of each joint venture. We consolidate these joint ventures in our financial statements. Minority interests were $0 in the second quarter of 2001 compared to $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2000, as the two Czech joint ventures operated near break even in the second quarter of 2001.

      Income tax (provision) benefit. The income tax (provision) benefit was $0 in the second quarter of 2001 compared with an income tax provision of $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2000. The 2001 amount was attributable to the net effect of deferred tax benefits recognized for operating losses incurred during the quarter outside of the U.S. offset by a valuation allowance established for such losses incurred in the U.S. The valuation allowance resulted from our decision to limit the recognition of such deferred tax benefits to the amount that could be recovered via carry-back. It should be noted that a significant portion of our second quarter 2001 operating loss was incurred in a country with a 0% tax rate and, therefore, no future tax benefits are available.

      Total revenues. Total revenues decreased $293.0 million, or 30.4%, to $671.2 million in the first six months of 2001 from $964.2 million in the first six months of 2000, due to reduced demand for our products resulting from the recent economic downturn and actions taken by our customers to manage their inventories in line with incoming business and due to the phasing out of foundry revenues to Motorola.

      Net product revenues. Net product revenues decreased $245.1 million, or 27.0%, to $664.3 million in the first six months of 2001 from $909.4 million in the first six months of 2000. The decrease occurred in all of our major product families. Approximately 53% of this decrease was due to reduced volume with the remainder due to reductions in selling prices, partially offset by increases due to changes in our product mix. Net revenues for standard analog products, which accounted for 28.2% of net product revenues in the first six months of 2001, decreased 17.6% compared to the first six months of 2000. Net revenues from broadband products, which accounted for 12.8% of net product revenues in the first six months of 2001 decreased 42.4%

from the second quarter of 2000. Net revenues for discrete and standard logic products, which accounted for 59.0% of net product revenues in the first six months of 2001, decreased 26.7% compared to the second quarter of 2000.

      Approximately 42%, 35% and 23% of our net product revenues in the first six months of 2001 were derived from the Americas, Asia/ Pacific and Europe (including the Middle East), respectively, compared to 47%, 32% and 21%, respectively, in the first six months of 2000.

      Foundry revenues. Foundry revenues decreased $47.9 million, or 87.4%, to $6.9 million in the first six months of 2001 from $54.8 million in the first six months of 2000. These foundry revenues are a result of agreements made with Motorola during our separation. We expect that these revenues will continue to decline in the future. Motorola continues to be one of our largest original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers.

      Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased $116.2 million, or 18.0%, to $529.5 million in the first six months of 2001 from $645.7 million in the first six months of 2000, primarily as a result of decreased sales volume.

      Gross profit. Gross profit (computed as total revenues less cost of sales) decreased $176.8 million, or 55.5%, to $141.7 million in the first six months of 2001 from $318.5 million in the first six months of 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin declined to 21.1% (21.0% for product gross margin) in the first six months of 2001 from 33.0% (34.3% for product gross margin) in the first six months of 2000. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to lower selling prices, along with lower factory utilization resulting from lower customer demand.

  Operating expenses

      Research and development. Research and development costs increased $17.5 million, or 61.8%, to $45.8 million in the first six months of 2001 from $28.3 million in the first six months of 2000, primarily as a result of our efforts to continue to develop our power management and broadband portfolios. As a percentage of net product revenues, research and development costs increased to 6.9% in the first six months of 2001 from 3.1% in the first six months of 2000 because of decreased sales demand accompanied with increased spending on new product development. We introduced 176 new products in the first six months of 2001. The main emphasis of our new product development is in power management and broadband applications with eighty percent of our overall research and development investment targeted in these areas. Our long-term target for research and development costs is 5-6% of revenues.

      Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or 2.6%, to $44.6 million in the first six months of 2001 from $45.8 million in the first six months of 2000 as a result of our restructuring actions. As a percentage of net product revenues, these costs increased to 6.7% in the first six months of 2001 from 5.0% in the first six months of 2000 as a result of decreased net product revenues offset by cost savings resulting from our restructuring actions.

      General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $39.8 million, or 36.0% to $70.8 million in the first six months of 2001 from $110.6 million in the first six months of 2000, as a result of cost reduction actions and lower discretionary spending. As a percentage of net product revenues, these costs decreased to 10.7% in the second quarter of 2001 from 12.2% in the first six months of 2000.

      Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles was $11.4 million in first six months of 2001 compared to $5.5 million for the first six months of 2000. The amortization relates to the intangible assets that were acquired with Cherry in the second quarter of 2000, including amounts related to developed technology, assembled workforce and goodwill.

      Write-off of acquired in-process research and development. In the first six months of 2000, we incurred a $26.9 million charge for the write-off of acquired in-process research and development resulting from the Cherry acquisition. No such charges were incurred in the first six months of 2001.

      Restructuring and other charges. In June 2001, we recorded a $95.8 million charge to cover costs associated with a worldwide restructuring program. This program includes phasing out of manufacturing operations at our Guadalajara, Mexico facility, transferring certain manufacturing activities performed at our

27


Table of Contents

Aizu, Japan and Seremban, Malaysia facilities to other Company-owned facilities or to third party contractors and consolidation of other operations. The charge includes $43.6 million to cover employee separation costs associated with the termination of approximately 3,200 employees, asset impairments of $42.2 million and $10.0 million of other costs primarily related to facility closures and contract terminations. The asset impairments were charged directly against the related assets. Employee separation costs included $1.1 million of non-cash charges associated with the acceleration of vesting of stock options for terminated employees and $6.1 million for additional pension charges related to terminated employees. As of June 29, 2001, the remaining liability relating to this restructuring was $38.6 million. As of June 29, 2001, 532 employees have been terminated under this restructuring plan.

      In March 2001, we recorded a $34.2 million charge to cover costs associated with a worldwide restructuring program involving manufacturing locations as well as selling and administrative functions. The charge included $31.3 million to cover employee separation costs associated with the termination of approximately 1,100 employees and $2.9 million for asset impairments that were charged directly against the related assets. As of June 29, 2001, the remaining liability relating to this restructuring was $3.2 million. As of June 29, 2001, 610 employees have been terminated under this restructuring plan.

      Also in March 2001, we recorded a $3.8 million charge to cover costs associated with the separation of one of our executive officers. In connection with the separation, we paid the former executive officer $1.9 million. In addition, we agreed to accelerate the vesting of his remaining outstanding stock options and to allow such options to remain exercisable for the remainder of their ten-year term. We recorded a non-cash charge of $1.9 million related to the modification of these options.

      In March 2000, we recorded a $4.8 million charge to cover costs associated with a restructuring program at our manufacturing facility in Guadalajara, Mexico. The charge included $3.2 million to cover employee separation costs associated with the termination of approximately 500 employees and $1.6 million for asset impairments that were charged directly against the related assets. As of June 29, 2001 there was no remaining liability related to the 2000 restructuring program.

      A summary of activity in the our restructuring reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2001 is as follows (in millions):

      Operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) decreased $261.3 million, to a $164.7 million operating loss in the first six months of 2001 compared to operating income of $96.6 million in the first six months of 2000. This decrease was due to decreased net product revenues, reduced product margins, costs associated with our worldwide restructuring program and the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. We expect that the cost reduction plan that we have implemented will result in savings of approximately $190 million in 2001 and will ultimately generate annualized savings of approximately $400 million. Excluding restructuring and other charges, the operating loss for the six months ended June 29, 2001 would have been $30.9 million compared to operating income of $101.4 million for the six months ended July 1, 2000.

      Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $9.6 million, or 14.0% to $58.9 million in the first six months of 2001 from $68.5 million in the first six months of 2000. The decrease was due the redemption of a portion of the senior subordinated notes and prepayment of a portion of the loans outstanding under the senior bank facilities with the proceeds from our IPO in 2000. The decrease was partially offset by interest related to the $125.0 million drawn on our revolving line of credit in May 2001. As a result of the amendments to our senior bank facilities (See “Recent developments”), our interest expense on an annual basis is expected to increase by approximately $29.5 million.

      Equity in earnings of joint ventures. Equity in earnings from joint ventures decreased $0.1 million to $2.1 million in the first six months of 2001 from $2.2 million in the first six months of 2000.

      Gain on sale of investment in joint venture. We had a 50% interest in Semiconductor Miniatures Products Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“SMP”). As a part of the joint venture agreement, our joint venture partner, Philips Semiconductors International B.V. (“Philips”), had the right to purchase our interest in SMP between January 2001 and July 2002. On February 1, 2001, Philips exercised its purchase right, acquiring our 50% interest in SMP. This transaction resulted in proceeds of approximately $20.4 million and a pre-tax gain of approximately $3.1 million.

      Minority interests. Minority interests represent the portion of net income (loss) of two Czech joint ventures attributable to the minority owners of each joint venture. We consolidate these joint ventures in our financial statements. Minority interests decreased $1.7 million to ($0.5) million in the first six months of 2001 compared to $1.2 million in the first six months of 2000.

      Income tax (provision) benefit. The income tax (provision) benefit was a $22.7 million benefit in the first six months of 2001 compared with an income tax provision of $25.8 million in the first six months of 2000. The 2001 amount was attributable to the net effect of deferred tax benefits recognized for operating losses incurred during the period outside of the U.S. offset by a valuation allowance established for a portion of such losses incurred in the U.S. The valuation allowance resulted from our decision to limit the recognition of such deferred tax benefits to the amount that could be recovered via carry-back. It should be noted that a significant portion of the operating loss for the first six months of 2001 was incurred in a country with a 0% tax rate and, therefore, no future tax benefits are available.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      For the first six months of 2001, net cash used in operating activities was $71.1 million compared to $121.6 million net cash provided by operating activities for the corresponding period of 2000. This was due primarily to the net loss of $311.6 million, adjusted for non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $85.4 million, $45.1 million for the impairment of property, plant and equipment and $116.4 million relating to the cumulative effect of accounting change relating to the revenue recognition on sales to distributors, offset by $24.2 million in deferred income taxes. Cash used in operating activities was also affected by changes in assets and liabilities including a decrease in accounts receivable of $113.6 and increases in other long-term liabilities and accrued interest of $3.8 and $6.3 million, respectively. These amounts were offset by an $0.5 million increase in inventories and a $13.1 million increase in other assets as well as decreases of $32.4 million in accounts payable, $7.8 million in accrued expenses, $12.9 million in income taxes payable, and $46.1 million in deferred income on sales to distributors. The decreases in accounts receivable and accounts payable were due to lower levels of sales and purchases, respectively, during the quarter.

      Net cash used in investing activities was $71.1 million for the first six months of 2001 compared to $319.8 million for the first six months of 2000. The net cash outflows consisted of $88.0 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment, $5.0 million for loans to an unconsolidated joint venture, $0.5 for investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and $0.1 for acquisition of minority interests of our two Czech joint ventures. These outflows were partially offset by proceeds of $20.4 million related to the sale of the Company’s interest in the SMP joint venture and proceeds of $2.1 million related to sales of property, plant and equipment.

      Net cash provided by financing activities was $128.3 million for the first six months of 2001 compared to $195.7 for the first six months of 2000. Cash inflows consisted of proceeds of $125.0 million from our revolving line of credit, $3.4 million from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan and $0.5 million from stock option exercises, offset by the payments of $0.6 for our capital lease obligation.

      At June 29, 2001, we had net deferred tax assets of $394.4 million as a result of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Although there can be no assurance, we believe that our net deferred tax assets will be recoverable from future operations. Should business conditions worsen or continue to be depressed for an extended period, we will be required to record a valuation allowance for all or a portion of our net deferred tax assets.

      As of June 29 2001, long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $1,389.0 million and stockholders’ equity was $24.6 million. Long-term debt included $994.3 million under our senior bank facilities (including our revolving line of credit), $260.0 million senior subordinated notes, $109.6 million in respect of our junior subordinated note, a $22.7 million note payable to a Japanese bank, and a capital lease of $2.4 million. We are required to begin making principal payments on our senior bank facilities in the third quarter of 2001.

      As of June 29, 2001, $3.8 million of our $150 million revolving facility was available, reflecting borrowings of $125.0 million and outstanding letters of credit of $21.2 million. Under certain circumstances, the terms of our credit agreements allow us to incur additional indebtedness, although there can be no assurances that we would be able to borrow on terms acceptable to us.

      At June 29, 2001, we had $994.3 million outstanding under our senior bank facilities. The senior bank facilities require us to maintain compliance with certain covenants and restrictions. At June 29, 2001, we were not in compliance with covenants requiring the maintenance of minimum interest expense and leverage coverage ratios. We received a waiver in respect of such noncompliance at June 29, 2001 (and in respect of any future noncompliance with such covenants through December 31, 2002). In connection with such waiver, we have amended our senior bank facilities. The key terms of this amendment are as follows:

  •  Minimum interest expense coverage ratio and leverage coverage ratio requirements for periods between January 31, 2003 through December 31, 2005 have been reduced, maximum capital expenditure limits have been reduced and covenants requiring the maintenance of a minimum cash and cash equivalent balance until certain financial ratios are achieved and minimum EBITDA levels through December 31, 2002 have been added;
 
  •  We are required to obtain $100 million through an equity investment from our principal shareholder, an affiliate of Texas Pacific Group, by September 7, 2001;
 
  •  The interest rate spread on outstanding borrowings will increase to 3.0% with respect to alternate base rate loans and 4.0% with respect to Eurodollar loans. Payment of such interest will be required on a monthly basis. Additionally, a supplemental interest charge of 2.0% will accrue through September 30, 2001, increasing to 3.0% for the period October 1, 2001 through March 31, 2003. Fifty percent of such supplemental interest must be paid by March 31, 2003 with the balance due by June 30, 2003. To the extent that the full amount of such supplemental interest is not paid on March 31, 2003, additional supplemental interest for the period of March 31, 2003 through June 30, 2003 will accrue at a rate of 3.0% on a portion of the outstanding borrowings, which portion is equal to the percentage of supplemental interest accrued but unpaid on March  31, 2003. Such additional supplemental interest will be due by June 30, 2002. As a result of these amendments, our interest expense on an annual basis is expected to increase by approximately $29.5 million; and
 
  •  Certain mandatory prepayment provisions contained in the original agreement have been revised.

      We believe that, pursuant to our current business plans, we will be able to maintain compliance with the revised covenants as outlined above.

      Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, to remain in compliance with the various restrictions and covenants found in our credit agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and strategic acquisitions will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to, among other things, our future operating performance and to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control.

      Our primary future cash needs, both in the short term and in the long term will focus on debt service and working capital. We have rescheduled our capital purchases with suppliers throughout the year and anticipate significantly reduced capital spending in the second half of 2001. We believe that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to service our indebtedness and fund our other liquidity needs for the remainder of 2001, and

could be supplemented, if necessary, with the proceeds from targeted sales of assets. As part of our business strategy, we review acquisition and divestiture opportunities and proposals on a regular basis.

      Historically, our revenues have been affected by the seasonal trends of the semiconductor and related industries. As a result of these trends, we typically experienced sales increases in the first two quarters of the year and relatively flat sales levels in the third and fourth quarters. However, over the past three years, various events have disrupted this pattern. In 1998, third quarter revenues declined, primarily as a result of the Asian economic crisis. In 1999, third and fourth quarter revenues increased due to the continuing recovery in the semiconductor market. In the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first two quarters of 2001 revenues declined due to slowing demand in the semiconductor market.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended establishes standards for the accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities became effective for us as of January 1, 2001.

      Our interest rate swaps in effect at January 1, 2001 have been designated as cash flow hedges, are measured at fair value and recorded as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Upon the adoption of SFAS 133 we recorded an after-tax charge of approximately $3.4 million to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of January 1, 2001. This charge consists of an approximate $2.1 million adjustment necessary to record our interest rate swaps in the consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as well as the write-off of an approximate $3.5 million deferred charge (included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000) relating to the payment made in December 2000 for the early termination of an interest rate protection agreement relating to a portion of the amounts outstanding under our senior bank facilities, both before income taxes of approximately $2.2 million. We recorded a $2.6 million after-tax charge to accumulated other comprehensive income during the first six months of 2001 to adjust our cash flow hedges to fair-value at June 29, 2001.

      We use forward foreign currency contracts to reduce our overall exposure to the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on our results of operations and cash flows. The fair values of these derivative instruments are recorded as assets or liabilities with gains and losses offsetting the gains and losses on the underlying assets or liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 133 did not impact our accounting and reporting for these derivative instruments.

      In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS No. 142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized, but are required to be tested for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount exceeds fair value. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 except for goodwill acquired in a business acquisition occurring after June 30, 2001, which will not be amortized. At June 29, 2001, we had unamortized goodwill of $75.0 million related to the Cherry acquisition that will be impacted by this new standard. Annual goodwill amortization approximates $8.6 million, which will be discontinued in 2002 as a result of this standard.

Business Risks and Forward-Looking Statements

      This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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 the Form 10-Q are made based on management’s current expectations and estimates, which involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Among these factors are changes in overall economic conditions, 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, availability of manufacturing capacity, availability of raw materials, competitors’ actions, loss of key customers, order cancellations or reduced bookings, changes in manufacturing yields, restructuring programs and the impact of such programs, control of costs and expenses, inability to reduce manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs, litigation, risks associated with acquisitions and dispositions, changes in management, risks associated with our substantial leverage and restrictive covenants in our debt instruments (including those relating to the increased cost of servicing our debt and complying with the additional restrictions imposed as a result of the recent amendment to our senior credit facilities), and risks involving environmental or other governmental regulation. Additional factors that could affect our future operating results are described from time to time in ON Semiconductor’s Securities and Exchange Commission reports. See in particular Exhibit 99.1, entitled “Risk Factors”, in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and filed with the SEC on March 30, 2001, and subsequently filed reports. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update such information.

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, 2001, our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $1,389.0 million. We have no interest rate exposure due to rate changes for our fixed rate interest bearing debt, which totaled $392.3 million or our capital lease obligation which totaled $2.4 million. We do have interest rate exposure with respect to the $994.3 million outstanding balance on our variable interest rate senior bank facilities however, we have entered into interest rate swaps to reduce this interest rate exposure. As of June 29, 2001, we had four interest rate swaps covering exposures on $255 million of our variable interest rate debt. A 50 basis point increase in interest rates would result in increased annual interest expense of $3.7 million for the next twelve months.

      A majority of our revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in U.S. dollars; however, as a multinational business, we also conduct these activities through transactions denominated in a variety of other currencies. We use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge firm commitments and reduce our overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on our results of operations and cash flows. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exposures would generally be offset by corresponding losses and gains on the related hedging instruments. This strategy reduces, but does not eliminate, the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. For example, changes in exchange rates may affect the foreign currency sales price of our products and can lead to increases or decreases in sales volume to the extent that the sales price of comparable products of our competitors are less or more than the sales price of our products.

PART II:  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

      The Company is currently involved in a variety of legal matters that arose in the normal course of business. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including the matters described in the next paragraph, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

      In July 2001 two purported stockholder class actions (“Shareholder Litigation”) were filed against us, certain of our officers and directors, and five investment banking firms who acted as underwriters in connection with our IPO in April 2000. The Shareholder Litigation was filed in the United States District Court — Southern District of New York and generally alleges that the IPO offering documents failed to disclose: (1) certain underwriter fees and commissions and (2) underwriter tie-in and other arrangements with certain customers that impacted the price of our stock in the aftermarket. The Shareholder Litigation is in the initial phases and we intend to vigorously defend against the suits.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

      Not Applicable.

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities

      At June 29, 2001, we had $994.3 million outstanding under our senior bank facilities. The senior bank facilities require us to maintain compliance with certain covenants and restrictions. At June 29, 2001, we were not in compliance with covenants requiring the maintenance of minimum interest expense and leverage coverage ratios. We have received a waiver in respect of such noncompliance at June 29, 2001 (and in respect of any future noncompliance with such covenants through December 31, 2002). In connection with such waiver, we have amended our senior bank facilities. The key terms of this amendment are as follows:

  •  Minimum interest expense coverage ratio and leverage coverage ratio requirements for periods between January 31, 2003 through December 31, 2005 have been reduced, maximum capital expenditure limits have been reduced and covenants requiring the maintenance of a minimum cash and cash equivalent balance until certain financial ratios are achieved and minimum EBITDA levels through December 31, 2002 have been added;
 
  •  We are required to obtain $100 million through an equity investment from our principal shareholder, an affiliate of Texas Pacific Group, by September 7, 2001;
 
  •  The interest rate spread on outstanding borrowings will increase to 3.0% with respect to alternate base rate loans and 4.0% with respect to Eurodollar loans. Payment of such interest will be required on a monthly basis. Additionally, a supplemental interest charge of 2.0% will accrue through September 30, 2001, increasing to 3.0% for the period October 1, 2001 through March 31, 2003. Fifty percent of such supplemental interest must be paid by March 31, 2003 with the balance due by June 30, 2003. To the extent that the full amount of such supplemental interest is not paid on March 31, 2003, additional supplemental interest for the period of March 31, 2003 through June 30, 2003 will accrue at a rate of 3.0% on a portion of the outstanding borrowings, which portion is equal to the percentage of supplemental interest accrued but unpaid on March  31, 2003. Such additional supplemental interest will be due by June 30, 2002. As a result of these amendments, our interest expense on an annual basis is expected to increase by approximately $29.5 million; and
 
  •  Certain mandatory prepayment provisions contained in the original agreement have been revised.

      We believe that, pursuant to our current business plans, we will be able to maintain compliance with the revised covenants as outlined above.

Party A will provide Party B with written notice of its intent to draw down funds under this Facility not less than seven business days prior to the date of such a draw-down. The maximum amount that may be borrowed in single-draw-down under the US$ Portion shall be less than US$4,000,000 and less than RMB15,000,000 under the RMB Portion. The total amount outstanding at any time under all draw-downs under this Facility may exceed the US$ equivalent of US$4,000,000, but shall at all times be less than the US$ equivalent of US$20,000,000. (For all purposes of determining the US$ equivalent of any RMB amount in respect of this Facility, the exchange rate of US$1:RMB8.3 shall be used.) 1.3 At the time of each draw-down, Party A and Party B shall execute a loan contract substantially in the form of Exhibit A (for draw-downs under the US$ Portion) and Exhibit B (for draw-downs under the RMB Portion) (each, a "Loan Contract"), at least seven business days prior to the proposed date of such draw-down. 2.

Party A will repay the principal amount of each draw-down as a single repayment. All repayments of principal will be made in the currency of the draw-down to which such repayment or payment of interest relates. 3.2 At the request of Party A, such request to be delivered to Party B not later than five business days prior to the due date of such draw-down, the term for repayment of any draw-down will be extended by Party B for an additional period not to exceed three years. All such extensions of maturity on the same terms applied at the time of the original draw-down. 3.3 Party A shall repay the loan and interest thereon using its sales revenue, cash freed up from depreciation, profit and other revenue. 3.4 Upon 15 business days' prior written notice to Party B, Party A may prepay any draw-down in whole or in part; provided, that such prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest to but excluding the date of such prepayment. 4.

Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative versions of the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements, or alternative versions shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 5.1 of the Plan. 6.2 ACTUAL PARTICIPATION.

The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the following terms and conditions: (a) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share of Stock under an Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. It is the 7

8 intention under the Plan that the exercise price for any Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant; provided, however that the Committee may, in its discretion, grant Options (other than Options that are intended to be Incentive Stock Options or Options that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m)) with an exercise price of less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant. (b) TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part.

An Incentive Stock Option shall lapse under the following circumstances. (1) The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse ten years from the date it is granted, unless an earlier time is set in the Award Agreement. (2) The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse upon termination of employment for Cause or for any other reason, other than the Participant's death or Disability, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. (3) If the Participant terminates employment on account of Disability or death before the Option lapses pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) above, the Incentive Stock Option shall lapse, unless it is previously exercised, on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Option would have lapsed had the Participant not become Disabled or lived 8

9 and had his employment status (i.e., whether the Participant was employed by the Company on the date of his Disability or death or had previously terminated employment) remained unchanged; or (ii) 12 months after the date of the Participant's termination of employment on account of Disability or death. Upon the Participant's Disability or death, any Incentive Stock Options exercisable at the Participant's Disability or death may be exercised by the Participant's legal representative or representatives, by the person or persons entitled to do so under the Participant's last will and testament, or, if the Participant fails to make testamentary disposition of such Incentive Stock Option or dies intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the Incentive Stock Option under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock Options. (e) TEN PERCENT OWNERS. An Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Stock of the Company only if such Option is granted at a price that is not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more than five years from the date of grant.

During a Participant's lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant. ARTICLE 8 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 8.1 GRANT OF SARS. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to Participants on the following terms and conditions: (a) RIGHT TO PAYMENT. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant to whom it is granted has the right to receive the excess, if any, of: (1) The Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise; over (2) The grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as determined by the Committee, which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant in the case of any SAR related to any Incentive Stock Option. 9

10 (b) OTHER TERMS. All awards of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. The terms, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award and shall be reflected in the Award Agreement. ARTICLE 9 PERFORMANCE SHARES 9.1 GRANT OF PERFORMANCE SHARES. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Shares to Participants on such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. The Committee shall have the complete discretion to determine the number of Performance Shares granted to each Participant. All Awards of Performance Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. 9.2 RIGHT TO PAYMENT. A grant of Performance Shares gives the Participant rights, valued as determined by the Committee, and payable to, or exercisable by, the Participant to whom the Performance Shares are granted, in whole or in part, as the Committee shall establish at grant or thereafter. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall set performance goals and other terms or conditions to payment of the Performance Shares in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and value of Performance Shares that will be paid to the Participant. 9.3 OTHER TERMS. Performance Shares may be payable in cash, Stock, or other property, and have such other terms and conditions as determined by the Committee and reflected in the Award Agreement. ARTICLE 10 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 10.1 GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The Committee is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock to Participants in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. All Awards of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Award Agreement. 10.2 ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. 10.3 FORFEITURE. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited, provided, however, that the Committee may provide in any Restricted Stock Award Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in 10

11 part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock. 10.4 CERTIFICATES FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse. ARTICLE 11 PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS 11.1 PURPOSE. The purpose of this Article 11 is to provide the Committee the ability to qualify the Performance Share Awards under Article 9 and the Restricted Stock Awards under Article 10 as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Committee, in its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this Article 11 shall control over any contrary provision contained in Articles 9 or 10. 11.2 APPLICABILITY. This Article 11 shall apply only to those Covered Employees selected by the Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Restricted Stock Awards or Performance Share Awards to Covered Employees that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 11. The designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as a Participant shall not require designation of any other Covered Employees as a Participant in such period or in any other period. 11.3 DISCRETION OF COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO PERFORMANCE AWARDS. With regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have full discretion to select the length of such Performance Period, the type of Performance-Based Awards to be issued, the kind and/or level of the Performance Goal, and whether the Performance Goal is to apply to the Company, a Subsidiary or any division or business unit thereof. 11.4 PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Unless otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the last day of the Performance Period to be eligible for a Performance Award for such Performance Period. Furthermore, a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment under a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved. In determining the actual size of an individual Performance-Based Award, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based Award earned for the Performance Period, if in its sole and absolute discretion, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. 11

12 11.5 MAXIMUM AWARD PAYABLE. The maximum Performance-Based Award payable to any one Participant under the Plan for a Performance Period is 1,000,000 shares of Stock, or in the event the Performance-Based Award is paid in cash, such maximum Performance-Based Award shall be determined by multiplying 1,000,000 by the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock as of the date of grant of the Performance-Based Award. ARTICLE 12 TAKE OWNERSHIP GRANTS 12.1 TAKE OWNERSHIP GRANTS. The Take Ownership Grants shall be awarded to Participants selected by the Committee and shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) EFFECTIVE DATE OF GRANTS. The effective date of the Take Ownership Grants shall be on the day on which the Company's initial public offering of Stock is consummated; provided, however, that Take Ownership Grants shall not be made to those persons who are not United States residents if the jurisdiction in which any such person resides prohibits such Grants or makes it impractical for the Company to make such Grants. (b) EXERCISE PRICE FOR GRANTS. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the exercise price per share of Stock under the Take Ownership Grants shall be the price at which the Company's Stock is offered under its initial public offering of Stock ("IPO Price"), provided, however, that, with respect to Participants who do not reside in the United States, if the day on which the Company receives approval by the applicable foreign jurisdiction to offer Stock to Participants residing in that jurisdiction is later than the day on which the Company's initial public offering becomes effective, the exercise price per share of Stock under the Take Ownership Grants shall be the Fair Market Value on the day on which the Company receives approval by the applicable foreign jurisdiction to offer Stock to such Participants. (c) AMOUNT OF THE TAKE OWNERSHIP GRANTS. Each Participant selected to receive a Take Ownership Grant shall be entitled to receive an Option to purchase 50 shares of Stock. Such Option shall be designated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. (d) TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. The Take Ownership Grants shall become fully exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant. (e) PAYMENT. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of the Take Ownership Grants may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation, cash, promissory note, shares of Stock (through actual tender or by attestation), or other property (including broker-assisted "cashless exercise" arrangements), and the methods by which shares of Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. (f) EVIDENCE OF GRANT. All Take Ownership Grants shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall provide that upon a Participant's termination of employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason, the Participant may, at any time within 90 days after the effective date of the Participant's termination, exercise the Take Ownership Grant to the 12

13 extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Take Ownership Grant at the date of termination, provided that in no event shall the Take Ownership Grant be exercisable after its expiration date, as provided in the Award Agreement. The Award Agreement shall also include such other provisions as determined by the Committee. ARTICLE 13 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS 13.1 STAND-ALONE AND TANDEM AWARDS. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted under the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards. 13.2 EXCHANGE PROVISIONS. The Committee may at any time offer to exchange or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash, Stock, or another Award, based on the terms and conditions the Committee determines and communicates to the Participant at the time the offer is made. 13.3 TERM OF AWARD. The term of each Award shall be for the period as determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with the Incentive Stock Option exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant. 13.4 FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable law or Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary on the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee determines at or after the time of grant, including without limitation, cash, promissory note, Stock, other Awards, or other property, or any combination, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee. 13.5 LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or a Subsidiary. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 13.6 BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 13.5, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant's death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If 13

14 the Participant is married, a designation of a person other than the Participant's spouse as his beneficiary with respect to more than 50 % of the Participant's interest in the Award shall not be effective without the written consent of the Participant's spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto under the Participant's will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee. 13.7 STOCK CERTIFICATES. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Awards, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded. All Stock certificates delivered under the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with Federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. 13.8 ACCELERATION UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. At the time of the grant of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other Award or any time thereafter, the Board shall have the authority and discretion, but shall not have any obligation, to provide for the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of any outstanding Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other Award upon a Change in Control. ARTICLE 14 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE 14.1 GENERAL. (a) SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANT. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Stock outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or similar corporate change, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Committee may grant Awards shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Stock outstanding by reason of any other event or transaction, the Committee may, but need not, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted as the Committee may deem appropriate. (b) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - INCREASE OR DECREASE IN ISSUED SHARES WITHOUT CONSIDERATION. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock or the payment of a stock 14

15 dividend (but only on the shares of Stock), or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall proportionally adjust the number of shares of Stock subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price per share of Stock of each such Award. (c) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - CERTAIN MERGERS. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event that the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or consolidation as a result of which the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation), each Award outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation shall pertain to and apply to the securities which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award would have received in such merger or consolidation. (d) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - CERTAIN OTHER TRANSACTIONS. In the event of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, (iii) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iv) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation and/or other property, including cash, the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, have the power to: (1) cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Award outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Award was granted an amount in cash, for each share of Stock subject to such Award, respectively, equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a share of Stock as a result of such event over (B) the exercise of such Award; or (2) provide for the exchange of each Award outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable) for an option, a stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, performance share award or performance-based award with respect to, as appropriate, some or all of the property for which such Award is exchanged and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion in the exercise price or value of the option, stock appreciate right, restricted stock award, performance share award or performance-based award or the number of shares or amount of property subject to the option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, performance share award or performance-based award or, if appropriate, provide for a cash payment to the Participant to whom such Award was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Award. (e) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - OTHER CHANGES. In the event of any other change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in Article 14, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares subject to Awards outstanding on the date on 15

16 which such change occurs and in the per share exercise price of each Award as the Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. (f) NO OTHER RIGHTS. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or the exercise price of any Award. ARTICLE 15 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION 15.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION. With the approval of the Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required. 15.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, including without limitation, the provisions of Article 14, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant. ARTICLE 16 PROVISIONS RELATING TO FRENCH EMPLOYEES Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to Awards granted to any employee who is a French citizen or who works primarily in France as of the grant date (referred to herein as "French Employee"). 16.1 CONSULTANTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no French Employee who would otherwise be considered a consultant under French law may be granted an Award under the Plan. 16.2 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The last sentence of Section 3.1(d) (definition of Cause) shall not apply to French Employees. 16.3 TEN PERCENT OWNERS. Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a) above, no Award shall be granted to any French Employee who holds more than ten percent of the Stock on the grant date. 16.4 EXERCISE PRICE. Notwithstanding Section 7.1(a) above, all Awards granted to French Employees shall be granted at an exercise price per share equal to Fair Market Value per share as of the grant date. 16

17 16.5 TIME LIMITATIONS. No Options shall be granted to any French Employee five years after the later of (a) the date the Company's stockholders initially approved the Plan, or (b) the date the Plan has been subsequently re-authorized, in its original form or as amended from time to time by the Board, by the Company's stockholders. 16.6 VESTING OF OPTIONS. Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b) above, no portion of any Award granted to a French Employee shall become exercisable before the five-year anniversary of the grant date. 16.7 EFFECT OF PARTICIPANT'S DEATH. Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b) or any other provision hereof, upon a French Employee's death, the vested portion of such Participant's Award shall remain exercisable for a period of six months after the date of his death and shall be exercisable by his heirs. 16.8 EXCHANGE OF OPTIONS. Notwithstanding Section 13.2 above, the Company shall not terminate any portion of an Award granted to any French Employee. 16.9 ADJUSTMENT OF OPTIONS. Notwithstanding Section 14.1 herein, any adjustment made to any Award granted to a French Employee shall comply with applicable French law. ARTICLE 17 GENERAL PROVISIONS 17.1 NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Participant, employee, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other persons uniformly. 17.2 NO STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until shares of Stock are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award. 17.3 WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. With the Committee's consent, a Participant may elect to have the Company withhold from those Stock that would otherwise be received upon the exercise of any Option, a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount necessary to satisfy the Company's applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding obligations. 17.4 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant's employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. 17

18 17.5 UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an "unfunded" plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary. 17.6 INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 17.7 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary. 17.8 EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries. 17.9 TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 17.10 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate. 17.11 SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. With respect to any person who is, on the relevant date, obligated to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be void to the extent permitted by law and voidable as deemed advisable by the Committee. 17.12 GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as 18

19 amended, any of the shares of Stock paid under the Plan. If the shares paid under the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. 17.13 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 19

1 Exhibit 10.5 ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION (FORMERLY KNOWN AS SCG HOLDING CORPORATION) 2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN (AS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON FEBRUARY 17, 2000; AMENDED AND RESTATED APRIL 21, 2000; AMENDED AND RESTATED MAY 23, 2001) 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this SCG Holding Corporation 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is to encourage stock ownership by eligible employees of SCG Holding Corporation (the "Company") and its Subsidiaries and thereby provide employees with an incentive to contribute to the profitability and success of the Company. The Plan is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code and will be maintained for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 2. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of the Plan, in addition to the terms defined in Section 1, the following terms are defined: (a) "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company. (b) "Cash Account" means the account maintained on behalf of a Participant by the Company for the purpose of holding cash contributions withheld from payroll pending investment in Stock.

(e) "Earnings" means a Participant's salary or wages, including bonuses, for services performed for the Company and its Subsidiaries and received by a Participant for services rendered during an Offering Period. (f) "Fair Market Value" means the closing price of the Stock on the relevant date as reported on NASDAQ (or any national securities exchange or quotation system on which the Stock is then listed), or if there were no sales on that date the closing price on the next preceding date for which a closing price was reported; provided, however, that for any Offering Period beginning on the IPO Date, the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the first day of such Offering Period shall be deemed to be the price at which the Company's Stock is offered under its initial public offering of Stock. (g) "IPO Date" means the date on which the Company's initial public offering of Stock is consummated. (h) "Offering Period" means the period beginning on the IPO Date and ending on the last day of the next calendar quarter, and every three-month period thereafter. For 1

2 Participants who do not reside in the United States, if the day on which the Company receives approval by the applicable foreign jurisdiction to offer common stock to Participants residing in that jurisdiction is later than the day on which the Company's initial public offering becomes effective, the Offering Period means the period beginning on the day on which the Company receives approval by the applicable foreign jurisdiction to offer common stock to such Participants and ending on the last day of the next calendar quarter, and every three-month period thereafter. (i) "Participant" means an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary who is participating in the Plan. (j) "Purchase Right" means a Participant's option to purchase Stock that is deemed to be outstanding during an Offering Period. A Purchase Right represents an "option" under Section 423 of the Code. (k) "Stock" means the common stock of the Company. (l) "Stock Account" means the account maintained on behalf of the Participant by the Custodian for the purpose of holding Stock acquired under the Plan. (m) "Subsidiary" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if each of the corporations (other than the last corporation in the unbroken chain) owns stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in the chain as set forth in Code Section 424(f). 3. ADMINISTRATION. (a) Board Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may delegate its administrative duties and authority (other than its authority to amend the Plan) to any Board committee or to any officers or employees or committee thereof as the Board may designate (in which case references to the Board will be deemed to refer to the administrator to which such duties and authority have been delegated). The Board will have full authority to adopt, amend, suspend, waive, and rescind rules and regulations and appoint agents as it deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan, to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan and to construe and interpret the Plan and rules and regulations thereunder, to furnish to the Custodian such information as the Custodian may require, and to make all other decisions and determinations under the Plan (including determinations relating to eligibility). No person acting in connection with the administration of the Plan will, in that capacity, participate in deciding any matter relating to his or her participation in the Plan. (b) The Custodian. The Custodian will act as custodian under the Plan, and will perform duties under the Plan and in any agreement between the Company and the Custodian. The Custodian will establish and maintain Participants Stock Accounts and any subaccounts as may be necessary or desirable to administer the Plan. 2

3 (c) Waivers. The Board may waive or modify any requirement that a notice or election be made or filed under the Plan a specified period in advance on an individual case or by adopting a rule or regulation under the Plan, without amending the Plan. (d) Other Administrative Provisions. The Company will furnish information from its records as directed by the Board, and such records, including a Participant's Earnings, will be conclusive on all persons unless determined by the Board to be incorrect. Each Participant and other person claiming benefits under the Plan must furnish to the Company in writing an up-to-date mailing address and any other information as the Board or Custodian may reasonably request. Any communication, statement, or notice mailed with postage prepaid to any such Participant or other person at the last mailing address filed with the Company will be deemed sufficiently given when mailed and will be binding upon the named recipient. The Plan will be administered on a reasonable and nondiscriminatory basis and uniform rules will apply to all persons similarly situated. All Participants will have equal rights and privileges (subject to the terms of the Plan) with respect to Purchase Right outstanding during any given Offering Period in accordance with Code Section 423(b)(5). 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. Subject to adjustment as provided below, the total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance or which may be otherwise acquired upon exercise of Purchase Rights under the Plan will be 5,500,000. If, at the end of any Offering Period, the number of shares of Stock with respect to which Purchase Rights are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares of Stock then available under the Plan, the Board shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Stock remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable. Any shares of Stock delivered by the Company under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares or shares of Stock purchased on the open market. The number and kind of such shares of Stock subject to the Plan will be proportionately adjusted, as determined by the Board, in the event of any extraordinary dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, forward or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event affecting the Stock. 5. ENROLLMENT AND CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) Eligibility. An employee of the Company or any Subsidiary designated by the Board may be enrolled in the Plan for any Offering Period if such employee is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary authorized to participate in the Plan on the first day of the Offering Period, unless one of the following applies to the employee: (i) such person has been employed by the Company or a Subsidiary less than 90 days; or (ii) such person is customarily employed by the Company or a Subsidiary for 20 hours or less a week; or 3

4 (iii) such person is customarily employed by the Company or a Subsidiary for not more than five months in any calendar year; (iv) such person would, immediately upon enrollment, be deemed to own, for purposes of Section 423(b)(3) of the Code, an aggregate of five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all outstanding shares of all classes of the Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the above, solely for purposes of the first Offering Period under the Plan, an employee who is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the first day of such Offering Period and who is otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan shall not be required to satisfy the 90 day employment period specified in 5(a)(i) above. The Company will notify an employee of the date as of which he or she is eligible to enroll in the Plan, and will make available to each eligible employee the necessary enrollment forms. Notwithstanding the above, any individual who is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary designated by the Board and who is working outside of the United States shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan if the laws of the country in which the employee is working makes the offer of the Purchase Right or the delivery of Stock under the Plan impractical. Additionally, the offer of the Purchase Right and the delivery of Stock under the Plan shall be effective for any individual who is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary and who is working outside of the United States only after the Company has complied with the applicable laws of the country in which the employee is working. (b) Initial Enrollment. An employee who is eligible under Section 5(a) (or who will become eligible on or before a given Offering Period) may, after receiving current information about the Plan, initially enroll in the Plan by executing and filing with the Company a properly completed enrollment form, including the employee's election as to the rate of payroll contributions for the Offering Period. To be effective for any Offering Period, such enrollment form must be filed at least two weeks (or such other period determined by the Board) preceding such Offering Period. (c) Automatic Re-enrollment for Subsequent Offering Periods. A Participant whose enrollment in, and payroll contributions under, the Plan continues throughout a Offering Period will automatically be re-enrolled in the Plan for the next Offering Period unless (i) the Participant terminates enrollment before the next Offering Period in accordance with Section 7(a), or (ii) the Participant is ineligible to participate under Section 5(a). The initial rate of payroll contributions for a Participant who is automatically re-enrolled for a Offering Period will be the same as the rate of payroll contribution in effect at the end of the preceding Offering Period, unless the Participant files a new enrollment form designating a different rate of payroll contributions and such new enrollment form is received no later than two weeks (or such other period determined by the Board) prior to the beginning of the next Offering Period. (d) Payroll Contributions. A Participant will make contributions under the Plan by means of payroll deductions from each payroll period which ends during the Offering Period, 4

5 at the rate elected by the Participant in his or her enrollment form in effect for that Offering Period (except that such rate may be changed during the Offering Period to the extent permitted below). The rate of payroll contributions elected by a Participant may not be less than one percent (1%) nor more than ten percent (10%) of the Participant's Earnings for each payroll period, and only whole percentages may be elected; provided, however, that the Board may specify a lower minimum rate and higher maximum rate, subject to Section 8(c). Notwithstanding the above, a Participant's payroll contributions will be adjusted downward by the Company as necessary to ensure that the limit on the amount of Stock purchased for an Offering Period set forth in Section 6(a)(iii) is not exceeded. A Participant may elect to increase, decrease, or discontinue payroll contributions for a future Offering Period by filing a new enrollment form designating a different rate of payroll contributions, which form must be received at least two weeks (or such other period determined by the Board) prior to the beginning of an Offering Period to be effective for that Offering Period. In addition, a Participant may elect to discontinue payroll contributions during an Offering Period by filing a new enrollment form, such change to be effective for the next payroll after the Participant's new enrollment form is received. (e) Crediting Payroll Contributions to Cash Accounts. All payroll contributions by a Participant under the Plan will be credited to a Cash Account maintained by the Company on behalf of the Participant. The Company will credit payroll contributions to each Participant's Cash Account as soon as practicable after the contributions are withheld from the Participant's Earnings. (f) No Interest on Cash Accounts. No interest will be credited or paid on cash balances in Participant's Cash Accounts pending investment in Stock. 6. PURCHASES OF STOCK (a) Purchase Rights. Enrollment in the Plan for any Offering Period by a Participant will constitute a grant by the Company of a Purchase Right to such Participant for such Offering Period. Each Purchase Right will be subject to the following terms: (i) The purchase price of each share of Stock purchased for each Offering Period will equal 85% of the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the first day of an Offering Period, or the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the last day of an Offering Period. (ii) Except as limited in (iii) below, the number of shares of Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the Purchase Right for a Offering Period will equal the number of shares (including fractional shares) that can be purchased at the purchase price specified in Section 6(a)(i) with the aggregate amount credited to the Participant's Cash Account as of the last day of an Offering Period. 5

6 (iii) The number of shares of Stock subject to a Participant's Purchase Right for any Offering Period will not exceed the lesser of: (1) 500 shares of Stock, or (2) the number derived by dividing $6,250 by 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the first day of the Offering Period for the Offering Period. (iv) The Purchase Right will be automatically exercised on the last day of the Offering Period. (v) Payments by a Participant for Stock purchased under a Purchase Right will be made only through payroll deduction in accordance with Section 5(d) and (e). (vi) The Purchase Right will expire on the earlier of the last day of the Offering Period or the date on which the Participant's enrollment in the Plan terminates. (b) Purchase of Stock. At or as promptly as practicable after the last day of an Offering Period, amounts credited to each Participant's Cash Account will be applied by the Company to purchase Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Shares of Stock will be purchased from the Company or in the open market, as the Board determines. The Company will aggregate the amounts in all Cash Accounts when purchasing Stock, and shares purchased will be allocated to each Participant's Stock Account in proportion to the cash amounts withdrawn from such Participant's Cash Account. After completing purchases for each Offering Period (which will be completed in not more than 15 calendar days after the last day of an Offering Period), all shares of Stock so purchased for a Participant will be credited to the Participant's Stock Account. (c) Dividend Reinvestment; Other Distributions. Cash dividends on any Stock credited to a Participant's Stock Account will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of Stock; such amounts will not be available in the form of cash to Participants. The Company will aggregate all purchases of Stock in connection with dividend reinvestment for a given dividend payment date. Purchases of Stock for purposes of dividend reinvestment will be made as promptly as practicable (but not more than 15 calendar days) after a dividend payment date. The purchases will be made directly from the Company at 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the dividend payment date or on the open market. Any shares of Stock distributed as a dividend or distribution in respect of shares of Stock or in connection with a split of the Stock credited to a Participant's Stock Account will be credited to such Account. (d) Withdrawals and Transfers. Shares of Stock may be withdrawn from a Participant's Stock Account, in which case one or more certificates for whole shares may be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Participant, with such Participant receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the day preceding the date of withdrawal. Alternatively, whole shares of Stock may be withdrawn from a Participant's Stock Account by means of a transfer to a broker-dealer or financial institution that maintains an account for the Participant, together with the transfer of cash in lieu of fractional 6

7 shares based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the day preceding the date of withdrawal. Participants may not designate any other person to receive shares of Stock withdrawn or transferred under the Plan. A Participant seeking to withdraw or transfer shares of Stock must give instructions to the Custodian in such manner and form as may be prescribed by the Custodian, which instructions will be acted upon as promptly as practicable. Withdrawals and transfers will be subject to any fees imposed in accordance with Section 8(a). (e) Excess Account Balances. If any amounts remain in a Cash Account following the date on which the Company purchases Stock for an Offering Period as a result of the limitation set forth in Section 6(a)(iii) or for any other reason, such amounts will be returned to the Participant as promptly as practicable. 7. TERMINATION AND DISTRIBUTIONS. (a) Termination of Enrollment. A Participant's enrollment in the Plan will terminate upon (i) the beginning of any payroll period or Offering Period that begins after he or she files a written notice of termination of enrollment with the Company, provided that such Participant will continue to be deemed to be enrolled with respect to any completed Offering Period for which purchases have not been completed, (ii) such time as the Participant becomes ineligible to participate under Section 5(a) of the Plan, or (iii) the termination of the Participant's employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries. An employee whose enrollment in the Plan terminates may again enroll in the Plan as of any subsequent Offering Period that is at least 90 days after such termination of enrollment if he or she satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 5(a) as of such Offering Period. A Participant's election to discontinue payroll contributions will not constitute a termination of enrollment. (b) Distribution. As soon as practicable after a Participant's enrollment in the Plan terminates, amounts in the Participant's Cash Account which resulted from payroll contributions will be repaid to the Participant. The Custodian will continue to maintain the Participant's Stock Account for the Participant until the earlier of such time as the Participant directs the sale of all Stock in the Account, withdraws, or transfers all Stock in the Account, or one year after the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries. If a Participant's termination of enrollment results from his or her death, all amounts payable will be paid to his or her estate. 8. GENERAL. (a) Costs. Costs and expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan and maintenance of Accounts will be paid by the Company, to the extent provided in this Section 8(a). Any brokerage fees and commissions for the purchase of Stock under the Plan (including Stock purchased upon reinvestment of dividends and distributions) will be paid by the Company, but any brokerage fees and commissions for the sale of Stock under the Plan by a Participant will be borne by such Participant. The rate at which such fees and commissions will be charged to Participants will be determined by the Custodian or any broker-dealer used by the Custodian (including an affiliate of the Custodian), and communicated from time to time to Participants. In addition, the Custodian may impose or pass through a reasonable fee for the withdrawal of Stock 7

8 in the form of stock certificates (as permitted under Section 6(d)), and reasonable fees for other services unrelated to the purchase of Stock under the Plan, to the extent approved in writing by the Company and communicated to Participants. (b) Statements to Participants. The Participant's statement will reflect payroll contributions, purchases, sales, and withdrawals and transfers of shares of Stock and other Plan transactions by appropriate adjustments to the Participant's Accounts. The Custodian will, not less frequently than quarterly, provide or cause to be provided a written statement to the Participant showing the transactions in his or her Stock Account and the date thereof, the number of shares of Stock credited or sold, the aggregate purchase price paid or sales price received, the purchase or sales price per share, the brokerage fees and commissions paid (if any), the total shares held for the Participant's Stock Account (computed to at least three decimal places), and such other information as agreed to by the Custodian and the Company. (c) Compliance with Section 423. It is the intent of the Company that this Plan comply in all respects with applicable requirements of Section 423 of the Code and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan does not comply with such requirements, such provision will be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS. (a) Compliance With Legal and Other Requirements. The Plan, the granting and exercising of Purchase Rights hereunder, and the other obligations of the Company and the Custodian under the Plan will be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Company may, in its discretion, postpone the issuance or delivery of Stock upon exercise of Purchase Rights until completion of such registration or qualification of such Stock or other required action under any federal or state law, rule, or regulation, or the laws of any country in which employees of the Company and a Subsidiary who are nonresident aliens and who are eligible to participate reside, or other required action with respect to any automated quotation system or stock exchange upon which the Stock or other Company securities are designated or listed, or compliance with any other contractual obligation of the Company, as the Company may consider appropriate. In addition, the Company may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Stock in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, designation or listing requirements, or other contractual obligations. (b) Limits on Encumbering Rights. No right or interest of a Participant under the Plan, including any Purchase Right, may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party, subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant, or otherwise assigned, transferred, or disposed of except pursuant to the laws of descent or distribution, and any right of a Participant under the Plan will be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant. 8

9 (c) No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder, including the grant of a Purchase Right, will be construed as giving any employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate any employee's employment at any time. (d) Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary is authorized to withhold from any payment to be made to a Participant, including any payroll and other payments not related to the Plan, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction under the Plan, and a Participant's enrollment in the Plan will be deemed to constitute his or her consent to such withholding. In addition, Participants may be required to advise the Company of sales and other dispositions of Stock acquired under the plan in order to permit the Company to comply with tax laws and to claim any tax deductions to which the Company may be entitled with respect to the Plan. This provision and other Plan provisions do not set forth an explanation of the tax consequences to Participants under the Plan. A brief summary of the tax consequences will be included in disclosure documents to be separately furnished to Participants. (e) Changes to the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan without the consent of shareholders or Participants, except that any such action will be subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders within one year after such Board action if such shareholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any automated quotation system or stock exchange on which the Stock may then be quoted or listed, or if such shareholder approval is necessary in order for the Plan to continue to meet the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, and the Board may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such actions to shareholders for approval. However, without the consent of an affected Participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination of the Plan may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant with respect to outstanding Purchase Rights relating to any Offering Period that has been completed prior to such Board action.
