(“Motorola), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to the Purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (the “Purchasers”) an aggregate of $400,000,000 principal amount of its Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2009 (the “2009 FRNs”), an aggregate of $350,000,000 principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and an aggregate of $500,000,000 principal amount of its 7.125% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes” and, together with the 2009 FRNs and the 2011 Notes, the “Securities”).

 

1. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the Purchasers that:

 

(a) A preliminary offering circular, dated June 24, 2004 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”) and an offering circular, dated July 16, 2004 (the “Offering Circular”), have been prepared in connection with the offering of the Securities. Any reference to the Preliminary

 


Offering Circular or the Offering Circular shall be deemed to refer to and include any Additional Issuer Information (as defined in Section 6(f)) furnished by the Company prior to the completion of the distribution of the Securities. The Preliminary Offering Circular and the Offering Circular and any amendments or supplements thereto did not and will not, as of their respective dates, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided , however , that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by a Purchaser through you expressly for use therein.

 

(b) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Offering Circular any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Offering Circular; and, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Offering Circular, there has not been any change in the capital stock (other than de minimis changes approved by you, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or consolidated long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than net increases in the consolidated long-term debt of the Company in an aggregate amount not exceeding $50 million) or any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (“Material Adverse Effect”), otherwise than as set forth in, or contemplated by, the Offering Circular, including the pro forma financial and capitalization information included therein.

 

(c) The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in the Offering Circular or such as do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its subsidiaries; and any real property and buildings held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

(d) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority (corporate and other) to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Offering Circular, and has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or conducts any business so as to require such qualification, or is subject to no material liability or disability by reason of the failure to be so qualified in any such jurisdiction except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and each subsidiary of the Company set forth on Schedule II (which includes all significant subsidiaries of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the

 

2


Commission) (each, a “Significant Subsidiary”) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, except where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(e) The Company has an authorized capitalization as set forth in the Offering Circular, and all of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable. All of the issued shares of capital stock of each Significant Subsidiary of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and (except for directors’ qualifying shares) are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims except such liens, encumbrances, equities or claims as are (i) described in the Offering Circular, or (ii) such as do not materially affect the value of such shares of capital stock.

 

(f) The Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and authenticated by the Trustee (as defined below) and delivered against payment therefor pursuant to this Agreement, will have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits provided by the indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, Second Supplemental Indenture and Third Supplemental Indenture, each to be dated as of July 21, 2004 (as supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), under which they are to be issued, which will be substantially in the form previously delivered to you. The Indenture has been duly authorized and, when executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee, the Indenture will constitute a valid and legally binding instrument, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture), if any, in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in proceedings of law or in equity). The Securities and the Indenture will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Circular and will be in substantially the form previously delivered to you.

 

(g) The exchange and registration rights agreement, to be dated as of July 21, 2004, between the Company and the Purchasers (the “Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement”), has been duly authorized by the Company, and when executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and to the effect of general principles of equity, and except that any rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors, if any exist at such time, will agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to, with respect to each series of Securities, another series of debt securities of the Company with terms substantially identical to the Securities of such series (the “Exchange Securities”) to be offered in exchange

 

3


for the Securities of such series, and (ii) to the extent required by the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act relating to the resale by certain holders of the Securities, and in each case, to use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statements declared effective. The Exchange Securities have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company, and when issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture will be the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in proceedings of law or in equity).

 

(h) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

 

(i) None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities) will violate or result in a violation of Section 7 of the Exchange Act, or any regulation promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulations G, T, U, and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

(j) Prior to the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has taken any action which is designed to or which has constituted or which might have been expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company in connection with the offering of the Securities.

 

(k) The issue and sale of the Securities and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Securities, the Indenture and this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is subject, except for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults, liens, charges or encumbrances that would not, individually or in the aggregate, affect the validity of the Securities, the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions herein contemplated or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) result in any violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, except for such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, affect the validity of the Securities, the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions herein contemplated or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by laws of the Company; and no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, qualification or registration with, any such court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority or body under any such statute, judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation is required for the issue and sale of the Securities or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or

 

4


the Indenture except for (a) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations and qualifications as have been obtained, (b) the filing of a registration statement by the Company with the Commission, in accordance with the Securities Act, pursuant to the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, (c) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Purchasers, and (d) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications that would not, individually or in the aggregate, affect the validity of the Securities, the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions herein contemplated or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(l) Neither the Company nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, except, in the case of (ii) above, for such defaults as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(m) The statements set forth in the Offering Circular under the caption “Description of Notes”, insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Securities, and under the captions “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences”, “Arrangements between Freescale Semiconductor and Motorola” and “Underwriting”, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of certain provisions of the laws and documents referred to therein, are accurate and complete summaries of such provisions in all material respects.

 

(n) Other than as set forth in the Offering Circular, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

 

(o) When the Securities are issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, the Securities will not be of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) as securities which are listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.

 

(p) The Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

5


United States to non-U.S. persons (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act), by means of any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Rule 902 under the Securities Act and the Company, any affiliate of the Company and any person acting on its or their behalf has complied with and will implement the “offering restriction” within the meaning of such Rule 902.

 

(s) Within the preceding six months, neither the Company nor any other person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold to any person any Securities, or any securities of the same or a similar class as the Securities, other than Securities offered or sold to the Purchasers hereunder. The Company will take reasonable precautions designed to insure that any offer or sale, direct or indirect, in the United States or to any U.S. person (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) of any Securities or any substantially similar security issued by the Company, within six months subsequent to the date on which the distribution of the Securities has been completed (as notified to the Company by Goldman, Sachs & Co.), is made under restrictions and other circumstances reasonably designed not to affect the status of the offer and sale of the Securities in the United States and to U.S. persons contemplated by this Agreement as transactions exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

 

(t) KPMG LLP, who have certified certain financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, are independent public accountants as required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(v) Each of the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Tax Sharing Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement, Intellectual Property License Agreement, Transition Services Agreement, and Purchase and Supply Agreement (collectively, the “Intercompany Agreements”), has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company.

 

(w) The compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Intercompany Agreements and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or

 

6


constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is subject, except for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults, liens, charges or encumbrances that would not, individually or in the aggregate, affect the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Intercompany Agreements or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) result in any violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, except for such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, affect the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Intercompany Agreements or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by laws (or similar organizational documents) of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; and no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, qualification or registration with, any such court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority or body under any such statute, judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation is required for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Intercompany Agreements, except for (a) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as have been obtained and (b) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings, qualifications or registrations, for which the failure to obtain would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
