FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (the company) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, consistent in all material respects with those applied in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2008. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. During the second quarter of 2009, the company recorded approximately $1.8 million of adjustments to previously recorded estimates which increased the benefit for income taxes. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2008. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, investments, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes and customer incentives, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity, foreign currency, energy markets and declines in consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Note 3 – Computation of Net Income (loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock relating to stock options and other potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive common equivalent securities consist of stock options, performance units (PUs), deferred stock units (DSUs) and restricted stock units (RSUs). In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options is computed using the average market price for the respective period. Certain potential shares of the company’s outstanding stock options were excluded because they were anti-dilutive, but could be dilutive in the future. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

In addition, the computation of diluted earnings per share did not include the assumed conversion of the 5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (Notes) because the effect would have been anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008. As a result, $2.8 million and $5.5 million of interest expense was not added back to the numerator for those periods. In addition, potential common shares of 6.7 million were not included in the denominator for those periods. The Notes did not impact the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 as they were redeemed in the second quarter of 2008.

Note 4 – Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Note 5 – Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 157, Fair Value Measurements , the company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

In accordance with FAS 157, it is the company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. When available, the company uses quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market based parameters including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not available, the company is required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows could significantly affect the results of current or future values. The results may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of an asset or liability. See below for further discussion of the fair value of the company’s derivatives and Note 6 for further discussion of the fair value of the company’s securities.

Derivatives. The company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In accordance with SFAS 133, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities , the fair value of these hedges is recorded on the balance sheet. All of the company’s derivatives are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, the company measures fair value using prices obtained from the counterparties with whom the company has traded. The counterparties price the derivatives based on models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities. Accordingly, the company classifies these derivatives as Level 2.

The company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to hedging instruments. The counterparties to all derivative transactions are major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. However, this does not eliminate the company’s exposure to credit risk with these institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in such contracts should any of these counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The company considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2009.

• Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted market price for identical instruments traded in active markets.

• Level 2 – Valuation is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar

instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

• Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market.

Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Derivatives. The company uses currency forward and combination option contracts to hedge a portion of its forecasted foreign exchange denominated revenues and expenses. The company monitors its foreign currency exposures to maximize the overall effectiveness of its foreign currency hedge positions. Currencies hedged include the euro, Japanese yen, Philippine peso, Malaysian ringgit, Korean won and Chinese yuan. The company’s objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize the risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments related to time value are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Hedge ineffectiveness, determined in accordance with SFAS 133 and SFAS 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement 133 , did not have a material impact on earnings for the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008. No cash flow hedges were derecognized or discontinued during the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008.

Derivative gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (OCI) are reclassified into earnings at the time the forecasted transaction is recognized. The company estimates that the entire $0.2 million of net unrealized derivative losses included in OCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

The company also uses currency forward and combination option contracts to offset the foreign currency impact of balance sheet translation. These derivatives have one month terms and the initial fair value, if any, and the subsequent gains or losses on the change in fair value are reported in earnings within the same incomes statement line as the impact of the foreign currency translation.

Interest Rate Derivatives. The company’s variable-rate debt exposes the company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The company uses a forward interest rate swap to mitigate the interest rate risk on a portion of its variable-rate borrowings in order to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on variable-rate debt.

Effectiveness of this hedge is calculated by comparing the fair value of the derivative to a hypothetical derivative that would be a perfect hedge of floating rate debt. The value of the hedge at inception was zero and there was no ineffectiveness as of June 28, 2009.

Derivative gains and losses included in OCI are reclassified into earnings at the time the forecasted transaction is recognized. There are currently $4.8 million of unrealized losses included in OCI. The amounts are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the floating-rate debt obligations affect earnings.

The table below shows the notional principal and the location and amounts of the derivative fair values in the statement of operations and the consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2009 and December 28, 2008. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Financial Interpretation (FIN) 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts – an Interpretation of APB 10 and FASB Statement 105 , the company nets the fair value of all derivative financial instruments with counterparties for which a master netting arrangement is utilized. The notional principal amounts for these instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of year end and do not represent the amount of the company’s exposure to credit or market loss. The estimates of fair value are based on applicable and commonly used

Table of Contents

The following tables present derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133.

Note 6 – Securities

The company invests excess cash in marketable securities consisting primarily of commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, and U.S. government securities. While the company still holds auction rate securities, the company no longer actively invests in them.

All of the company’s securities are classified as available-for-sale. In accordance with SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities , available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a component of OCI within stockholders’ equity, net of any related tax effect, if such gains and losses are considered temporary. Realized gains and losses on these investments are included in interest income and expense. Declines in value judged by management to be other-than-temporary and credit related are included in impairment of investments in the statement of operations. The noncredit component of impairment is included in OCI. For the purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. There were no realized gains or losses on sales of securities in 2009 or 2008. Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $0.3 million and $5.0 million for the three months and six months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008, respectively.

Table of Contents

Securities are summarized as of June 28, 2009:

There were no investments in an unrealized loss position at June 28, 2009.

The following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair market value of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity as of June 28, 2009.

As of June 28, 2009, auction rate securities with a market value of $36.9 million are included in the table above in contractual maturities due after ten years. The company’s auction rate securities are composed of approximately $26.5 million of securities that are structured obligations of special purpose reinsurance entities associated with life insurance companies and $10.4 million of corporate debt securities issued by a special purpose financial services corporation that offers credit risk protection through writing credit derivatives. The company continues to accrue and receive interest on these securities based on a contractual rate.

Under SFAS 157, the company groups securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. (See Note 5 for further discussion of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157.)

Table of Contents

Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange as well as U.S. Treasury, and other U.S. government and agency-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. The company has no securities classified as Level 2. The securities classified as Level 3 are auction rate securities.

The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement, except for auction rate securities. The auction rate security market is no longer active and as a result there is no observable market data for these assets. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts and interest rate risks. These estimates involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. As a result such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in a current sale or immediate settlement of the instrument. In addition, changes in the underlying assumptions used in the fair value measurement technique, including discount rates, liquidity risks and estimates of future cash flows could significantly affect these fair value estimates.

The company performed its own discounted cash flow (DCF) calculation to determine the estimated fair value of the auction rate securities. The assumptions used in preparing the DCF model included estimates for the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments and the rate of return required by investors to own these securities in the current environment. In making these assumptions, relevant factors that were considered included: the formula applicable to each security which defines the interest rate paid to investors in the event of a failed auction; forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks specified in such formulas; the likely timing of principal repayments; the probability of full repayment considering guarantees by third parties and additional credit enhancements provided through other means. The estimate of the rate of return required by investors to own these securities also considers the current reduced liquidity for auction rate securities. The inputs for the company’s DCF were based upon publicly available data as well as the company’s own estimates. The primary unobservable input to the valuation was the maturity assumption which ranged from five to twelve years depending on the individual auction rate security. The maturity assumptions were based on the terms of the underlying instrument and the potential for restructuring the auction rate security. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the company concluded that the impairment of its auction rate securities was other-than-temporary and recognized a loss of $19.0 million in the income statement.

However, the company has the ability and intent to hold the auction rate securities until there is a full recovery of the fair value, which may be maturity. As a result, in the second quarter of 2009, based on the requirements of FASB Staff Position ( FSP) SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments , the company analyzed the $19.0 million other-than-temporary loss that was recognized in the income statement in the fourth quarter of 2008 to determine the noncredit component. The noncredit component of the loss is primarily driven by changes in interest rates. The noncredit component was calculated by bifurcating the discount rate used in calculating the fair value estimates for the auction rate securities in the fourth quarter of 2008 into its credit risk and noncredit components. The fair value of each auction rate security was then revalued using the noncredit component of the discount rate. The calculated fair value was compared to the par value of each issue to determine the unrealized loss related to the noncredit component. The remaining unrealized loss was determined to be the credit loss component. It was determined that $15.5 million of the loss was attributable to credit loss. As a result, in the second quarter of 2009, a cumulative adjustment of the remaining $3.5 million, which was attributable to changes in interest rates, was reclassified from retained earnings to accumulated OCI (AOCI). There is no portion of other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss currently included in AOCI.

The following table presents a rollforward of the amount related to credit losses recognized in earnings at June 28, 2009.

Note 7 – Segment Information

Effective December 29, 2008 (first day of fiscal year 2009), the company realigned its operating segments and management structure and, accordingly, its segment reporting. Two product lines previously included in the Standard Products Group (SPG) were transferred into our Mobile, Computing, Consumer and Communications (MCCC) and Power Conversion, Industrial and Automotive (PCIA) groups. The realignment corresponds with the way the company manages the business and was designed to reduce costs and facilitate greater customer intimacy by moving from a product oriented structure to an application based structure. The majority of the company’s activities have now been realigned into two focus areas; MCCC, which focuses on handset, computing and multimedia applications, and PCIA, which focuses on power supply and motor control solutions. Each of these segments has a relatively small set of leading customers, common technology requirements and similar design cycles. The Standard Discrete and Standard Linear (SDT) business will continue to be managed separately as a third segment. All segment reporting within management’s discussion and analysis has been restated to reflect this change.

In addition, as a result of a company-wide simplification effort, the allocation of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses to the reporting segments was changed beginning in the first quarter of 2009. Starting in fiscal year 2009, only dedicated, direct SG&A spending by the segments will be included in their operating income. All other corporate level SG&A spending will be included in the corporate category. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.

The following table presents selected operating segment financial information for the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008. Historical amounts in the table below have been reclassified to align with these new operating segments.

Note 10 – Contingencies

Patent Litigation with Power Integrations, Inc. On October 20, 2004, the company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, were sued by Power Integrations, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Power Integrations alleges that certain of the company’s pulse width modulation (PWM) integrated circuit products infringe four Power Integrations U.S. patents, and seeks a permanent injunction preventing the company from manufacturing, selling or offering the products for sale in the U.S., or from importing the products into the U.S., as well as money damages for past infringement. The company has analyzed the Power Integrations patents in light of the company’s products and, based on that analysis, does not believe the company’s products violate Power Integrations’ patents. Accordingly, the company is vigorously contesting this lawsuit.

The company also petitioned the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for reexamination of all unexpired patent claims asserted in the case (those being all asserted claims from three of the four patents asserted in the case; the fourth patent has expired), and as a consequence the patent office initiated reexamination proceedings on all of those claims. In the first half of 2008, in the patent office’s first formal correspondence regarding the validity of the patents, all of those asserted claims were rejected by the patent office. In December 2008, the patent office issued final rejections of 12 of 14 patent claims from two of the three unexpired Power Integrations patents. In May 2009, the patent office accepted Power Integrations’ attempt to amend the rejected claims of both patents and reopened the reexaminations to consider the amendments. In July 2009, the patent office issued final rejections of the amended claims of both patents. As to the third unexpired patent involved in the lawsuit, in May 2009, the patent office issued a final office action rejecting all claims asserted by Power Integrations.

Table of Contents

The trial in the case was divided into three phases. The first phase, held in October 2006, was on infringement, the willfulness of any infringement, and damages. On October 10, 2006, a jury returned a verdict finding that thirty-three of the company’s PWM products infringe one or more of seven claims of the four patents being asserted. The jury also found that the company’s infringement was willful, and assessed damages against the company of approximately $34 million. The second phase of the trial, held in September 2007 before a different jury, was on the validity of the Power Integrations patents being asserted. On September 21, 2007 a jury returned a verdict in the second phase, finding that the four Power Integrations patents asserted in the lawsuit are valid. The third phase of the trial began on September 21, 2007, and covered the enforceability of the patents. On September 24, 2008, the court ruled on the third phase, finding that the patents are enforceable.

On December 12, 2008, the judge overseeing the case reduced the jury’s October 10, 2006 damages award from approximately $34 million to approximately $6 million, and ordered a new trial on whether the company willfully infringed Power Integrations’ asserted patents. The court also issued a permanent injunction on a limited number of Fairchild’s products enjoining the company from making, selling or offering to sell the products in the U.S., or from importing the products into the U.S. The injunction took effect on May 13, 2009. The company voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of those products in 2007 and has been offering replacement products since 2006.

On June 22, 2009, the new trial on willfulness was held. If the court in the new willfulness trial finds that the company’s infringement was willful, the judge will have discretion to increase the final approximately $6 million damages award by up to three times the amount of the award. The judge in the case has also awarded Power Integrations pre-judgment interest. It is also possible that the company could be required to pay Power Integrations’ attorney’s fees. The final damages award and injunction are subject to appeal and the company expects to contest several aspects of the litigation and to appeal on several grounds at the appropriate time. If the company chooses to appeal, the company would likely be required to post a bond or provide other security for some or the entire amount of the final damages award during the appeal process.

On May 23, 2008, Power Integrations filed another lawsuit against the company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and the company’s wholly owned subsidiary System General Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of three patents. Of the three patents claimed in this lawsuit, two are patents that were asserted against the company and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in the October 2004 lawsuit described above. As mentioned above, all claims asserted in the first lawsuit from these two patents have now received final rejections from the patent office. On March 20, 2009, the patent office granted the company’s request for ex parte reexamination of the claims from the third patent asserted in this lawsuit, having reached the conclusion that the prior art presents a “substantial new question” as to the validity of the asserted claims. The company believes it has strong defenses against Power Integrations’ claims and intends to vigorously defend this second lawsuit.

On October 14, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and System General Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Power Integrations in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PWM integrated circuit products infringe one or more claims of three U.S. patents owned by System General. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and an injunction preventing the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Power Integrations products found to infringe the asserted patents.

Patent Litigation with Infineon. On November 25, 2008, the company was sued by Infineon Technologies AG, Infineon Technologies Austria AG, and Infineon Technologies North America Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Infineon alleges that the company infringes five Infineon U.S. patents and seeks a declaratory judgment that Infineon does not infringe six Fairchild patents. On November 28, 2008, the company answered the Infineon complaint with denials of their claims and the company’s own counterclaims of infringement. In the company’s counterclaim the company is asserting that certain Infineon products infringe one or more claims of six Fairchild patents.

On November 28, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation also filed a separate infringement action against Infineon Technologies AG and Infineon Technologies North America Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine, alleging that Infineon infringes two Fairchild patents that Infineon did not raise in the Delaware case.

Both Infineon and Fairchild are asking for unspecified money damages, including enhanced damages for willful infringement, and a permanent injunction.

Other Legal Claims . From time to time the company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The company believes that there is no such ordinary-course litigation pending that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The company has analyzed the potential litigation outcomes from the company’s current litigation in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies. While the exact amount of these losses is not known, the company has recorded net reserves for potential litigation outcomes in the consolidated statement of operations, based upon the company’s assessments of the potential liability using an analysis of the claims and historical experience in defending and/or resolving these claims. As of June 28, 2009, the company’s balance for potential litigation outcomes was $6.7 million.

Note 11 – Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following at:

On May 13, 2009, the company entered into a First Amendment and Waiver (the “Amendment”) to its senior credit agreement dated June 26, 2006 between the company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as administrative agent and a lender) and the other lenders named therein. The Amendment enables the company to voluntarily prepay and retire a portion of its term loan facility to take advantage of potentially favorable conditions in the credit markets that may occur from time to time. The Amendment permits the company to prepay up to $100 million (net of interest and fees) of term loans for a 12 month period following the effective date of the Amendment subject to certain minimum liquidity and customary financial conditions. During the second quarter of 2009, the company completed a tender offer, as allowed under the previously executed amendment, to buyback a portion of its term loan below par. As a result of this debt buyback the company reduced debt by $14.7 million, paying $13.8 million in cash and recognizing $0.8 million gain, net of fees, on the transaction.

Long term debt is carried at amortized cost. However, the company is required to estimate the fair value of long term debt under SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of the term loan is determined utilizing current trading prices obtained from indicative market data. The fair value of the revolving loan is assumed to be par.

A summary table of estimated fair values of long-term debt is as follows:

Note 12 – Acquisitions

On March 3, 2009, the company purchased certain assets for approximately $1.5 million in cash. The acquisition was made to augment the company’s Analog Signal Path design resources and IP portfolio. The transaction was accounted for as an asset purchase with the purchase price allocated mainly to developed technology, which is being amortized over the estimated useful life of 5 years.

Note 13 – Strategic Investments

The company has certain strategic investments that are typically accounted for on a cost basis as they are less than 20% owned, and the company does not exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Under the cost method, investments are held at historical cost, less impairments. The company periodically assesses the need to record impairment losses on investments and records such losses when the impairment of an investment is determined to be other than temporary in nature. A variety of factors is considered when determining if a decline in fair value below book value is other-than-temporary, including, among others, the financial condition and prospects of the investee.

During the second quarter of 2009, the company sold its interest in one of its strategic investments for a $0.2 million gain. As a result of overall equity market valuation changes the company performed an impairment analysis on its only remaining strategic investment in the second quarter of 2009. A discounted cash flow model was used to value the investment as well as a comparison to a publicly traded peer company. The company determined that the investment was impaired and wrote off $2.3 million, leaving a value of $0.7 million.

During the second quarter of 2008, the company sold its interest in one of its strategic investments for an immaterial gain.

The total cost basis for strategic investments, which are included in other assets on the balance sheet, was $0.7 million and $3.5 million, net of write offs, as of June 28, 2009 and December 28, 2008, respectively.

Note 14 – Subsequent Events

The company has evaluated subsequent events through August 7, 2009, which represents the date the financial statements were issued. The company did not identify any subsequent events that required disclosure.

Except as otherwise indicated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “our,” the “company,” “Fairchild” and “Fairchild International” refer to Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, our principal operating subsidiary. We refer to individual corporations where appropriate.

Overview

In 2008, we saw the onset of the deepest global recession in 70 years. While this recession presents great challenges, it also presents opportunity. We are determined to use this down cycle as a catalyst to accelerate our transition to a high-value company by focusing on making our customers successful, making innovation a core strength and keeping our cost structure ahead of the environment.

The current business environment provides limited demand visibility as short lead times allow our customers to reduce their order horizon. While we cannot predict how long this down cycle will last, we are proactively taking actions to reduce inventories and costs.

We continue to manage our production output to bring internal and channel inventories within our target range. We reduced internal inventories by $33.1 million and reduced distributor inventory by approximately $75 million in first six months of 2009.

We have taken aggressive cost reduction actions in order to stay ahead of the economic environment. Our structural improvements and fixed cost reductions will enable us to leverage future earnings increases as we emerge from the recession. These actions include plans to streamline and consolidate wafer manufacturing by closing our wafer manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania and closing our four-inch manufacturing line in South Korea. Most of the products currently manufactured in Pennsylvania will be transferred to other internal sites. Manufacturing performed in the Korean four-inch line will be transferred to five and six-inch wafer fabs in Korea. We expect that these changes will simplify operations, improve productivity and reduce costs.

Effective the first quarter of 2009, we realigned our operating segments and management structure and, accordingly, our segment reporting. The realignment corresponds with the way we manage the business and was designed to reduce costs and facilitate greater customer intimacy by moving from a product oriented structure to an application based structure. The majority of our activities have been realigned into two focus areas; Mobile, Computing, Consumer and Communications

(MCCC) which focuses on handset computing and multimedia applications, and Power Conversion, Industrial and Automotive (PCIA) which focuses on power supply and motor control solutions. Each of these segments has a relatively small set of leading customers, common technology requirements, and similar design cycles. The Standard Discrete and Standard Linear (SDT) business will continue to be managed separately as a third segment. All segment reporting within management’s discussion and analysis has been restated to reflect this change.

In addition, as a result of a company-wide simplification effort, the allocation of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses to the reporting segments was changed beginning in the first quarter of 2009. Starting in fiscal year 2009, only dedicated, direct SG&A spending by the segments will be included in their operating income. All other corporate level SG&A spending will be included in the corporate category. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.

MCCC’s main focus is to supply the mobile, computing, consumer and communication end market segments with innovative power and signal path solutions including our low voltage MOSFETs, Power Management IC’s, Mixed Signal Analog and Logic products. We seek to deliver exceptional product performance by optimizing silicon processes and application specific design to satisfy specific requirements for our customers. This enables us to deliver solutions with greater energy efficiency and smaller footprint than is commonly available. With an improvement in the economy, we expect a steady acceleration of new product sales especially for solutions targeted to the handset and ultraportable market.

PCIA’s focus is to capitalize on the growing demand for greater energy efficiency in power supplies, battery chargers and automobiles. We are a leader in power factor correction, low standby power consumption designs and innovative switching techniques that enable greater efficiency under load. Improving the efficiency of our customers’ products is vital to meeting new energy efficiency regulations. Effectively managing the power conversion and initial voltage regulation in power supplies is one of the greatest opportunities we have to improve overall system efficiency. We believe the growing global focus on energy efficiency will continue to drive growth in this product line.

SDT products are core building block components for many electronic applications. This segment is moving to a more simplified and focused operating model to make the selling and support of these products easier and more profitable. The right operational structure and part portfolio will enable SDT to capture market share and increase profits.

Total Revenue. Total revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 decreased $140.8 million and $323.8 million or approximately 34% and 39%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decline in revenue was predominately driven by a decrease in unit volumes due to reduced market demand as a result of the worldwide economic downturn. For the first six months of 2009, decreases in average selling price also contributed approximately 5% of the decrease as a result of changes in product mix and price.

Geographic revenue information is based on the customer location within the indicated geographic region. The following table presents, as a percentage of sales, geographic sales for the U.S., Other Americas, Europe, China, Taiwan, Korea and Other Asia/Pacific (which for our geographic reporting purposes includes Japan and Singapore) for the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008. The decrease in the percentage of revenue in Taiwan resulted from a reduction in demand for desktop and notebook computers. The percentage of revenue in China increased as a result of new design wins and stronger demand for our smart power module products and high performance MOSFETS. This increase in demand was driven by a government sponsored household appliance subsidy program for the rural Chinese population.

Gross Margin. In the second quarter and first six months of 2009 gross margin decreased approximately $55.0 million and $143.5 million or approximately 46% and 59%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease in gross margin is due to decreased revenue, lower unit volumes and higher manufacturing unit costs as a result of lower factory utilization due to lower demand as well as efforts to reduce internal and distribution inventory.

Operating Expenses. Research and development (R&D) and SG&A expenses decreased due to cost reduction efforts implemented in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. Our employee base was reduced, discretionary spending was cut and a number of temporary benefit reductions were implemented. In addition, equity and variable compensation was reduced.

Restructuring and Impairments. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges, net of releases, of $11.3 million and $18.0 million, respectively. In the second quarter of 2009, the charges include $9.1 million of employee separation costs and $1.2 million of fab closure costs associated with the 2009 Infrastructure Realignment Program as well as $1.0 million in employee separation costs, $0.4 million in lease impairment costs for the streamlining of warehouse operations and $0.4 million in releases associated with the 2008 Infrastructure Realignment Program. The charges in the first quarter of 2009 included $5.8 million of employee separation costs, $0.3 million in lease impairment costs and $0.2 million in releases associated with the 2008 Infrastructure Realignment Program as well as $0.8 million in asset impairment costs associated with the 2009 Infrastructure Realignment Program.

The closure of the Mountaintop, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and the four-inch manufacturing line in Bucheon, South Korea was announced in the first quarter of 2009 and the charges associated with those programs are included in the 2009 Infrastructure Realignment Program. The 2009 Infrastructure Realignment Program also includes charges for a smaller worldwide cost reduction plan to further right-size our company and remain financially healthy.

During the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges, net of releases, of $11.3 million and $11.5 million, respectively. In the second quarter of 2008, the charges include $1.0 million of employee separation costs and $0.1 million in reserve releases both associated with the 2007 Infrastructure Realignment Program. Charges also include $2.3 million of employee separation costs, $8.0 million in asset impairment costs and $0.1 million in office closure costs all associated with the 2008 Infrastructure Realignment Program. In addition, the first quarter of 2008 includes $0.3 million of employee separation costs and $0.1 million in reserve releases both associated with the 2007 Infrastructure Realignment Program.

The majority of the second quarter charges in 2008 related to several asset impairments for non-industry standard packaging capacity and simplification of our supply chain planning systems. We also adjusted the workforce mix in our Maine fab as we converted to a more automated and technologically advanced eight-inch wafer production process. In addition, we reduced headcount in certain sales and marketing activities to further streamline selling, general and administration costs.

We have substantially completed payment of the remaining employee severance accruals related to the 2008 Infrastructure Realignment Program, with the exception of several employees in Europe and Japan. This action impacted approximately 1,051 manufacturing and non-manufacturing personnel. We achieved annualized cost savings associated with the employee separation costs of approximately $30.7 million by the end of the second quarter of 2009. Payouts associated with the 2008 lease impairment will be made on a regular basis and will be complete by the fourth quarter of 2011. We achieved annualized cost savings associated with the lease impairment of approximately $0.9 million effective during the second quarter of 2009.

The 2009 worldwide restructuring action, excluding facility closures, impacted 251 employees. We achieved annual savings associated with these employee separation costs of $12.8 million by the end of the second quarter of 2009. We anticipate that the consolidation of the South Korea fabrication processes and the closure of the Mountaintop facility will be completed by June 2010.

Other Expense, net.

Interest expense. Interest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 decreased $3.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding debt and lower debt balances.

Interest income. Interest income in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 decreased $1.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2008 as a result of lower invested balances in cash and cash equivalents and lower rates of return.

Other (income) expense, net. The second quarter of 2009 includes the $2.3 million impairment of a strategic investment, offset by a $0.2 million gain on the sale of a strategic investment and the $0.8 million net gain on the debt buyback transaction.

Income Taxes. Income tax benefit in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 was $2.4 million and $3.3 million on loss before taxes of $27.3 million and $79.3 million, respectively, as compared to income tax expense of $0.7 million and $5.2 million on income before taxes of $7.6 million and $29.2 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2008. The effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 was 8.8% and 4.2% compared to 9.2% and 17.8% respectively, for the comparable periods of 2008. The change in effective tax rate is primarily due to shifts of income and loss among jurisdictions with differing tax rates, foreign currency revaluations of tax liabilities and discrete tax expenses as a result of finalization of certain tax filings. In the first six months of 2009, the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets increased by $10.1 million. The overall increase did not impact our results of operations.

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 23, Accounting for Income Taxes – Special Areas , deferred taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which are reinvested indefinitely. Certain non-U.S. earnings, which have been taxed in the U.S. but earned offshore, have and continue to be part of our repatriation plan. As of June 28, 2009, we have recorded a deferred tax liability of $0.1 million, with no impact to the consolidated statement of operations as we have a full valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets.

MCCC. MCCC revenue decreased approximately 32% and 41% in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2008. During the first six months of 2009, decreases in unit volumes contributed approximately 32% of the revenue decrease due to overall market decline for semiconductors, specifically in the MOSFET markets. Demand for Power Analog products has remained stable despite market conditions due to market share gains and less inventory drain for mobile products. The remainder of the decrease in revenue was driven by changes in product mix and decreases in pricing. Gross margin dollars declined due to decreased revenue as a result of lower overall market demand as well as higher manufacturing unit costs due to lower factory utilization, a result of the demand decrease and a reduction of both internal and distribution channel inventory.

MCCC had operating income of $22.2 million and $17.6 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, compared to $43.3 million and $89.1 million for the comparable periods in 2008, respectively. The decrease in operating income was due to lower gross margin as discussed above. R&D and SG&A expenses decreased due to reductions in our employee base, discretionary spending and variable compensation. Temporary benefit reductions were also implemented at the end of fiscal year 2008. In addition, certain R&D functions were moved to lower cost regions.

PCIA. PCIA revenue decreased approximately 34% and 37% in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2008. The decline in revenue was driven primarily by decreases in unit volumes as a result of weaker demand for high voltage and power conversion products as well as a reduction in distribution channel inventory. In addition, changes in mix and decreases in average selling prices due to continued pricing pressure contributed approximately 3% to the decline in revenue. Gross margin dollars declined due to lower revenue and unit volumes and higher manufacturing unit costs as the result of lower factory utilization.

PCIA had operating income of $8.1 million and $11.1 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 compared to $28.5 million and $57.9 million for the comparable periods in 2008, respectively. The decrease in operating income was due to lower gross margin as discussed above. R&D and SG&A expenses decreased due to reductions in our employee base, discretionary spending and variable compensation. At the end of 2008, temporary benefit reductions were implemented resulting in decreased spending. In addition, there was a favorable impact from the weakening of the Korean Won.

SDT. SDT revenue decreased approximately 37% and 40% in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2008. The decline in revenue was primarily driven by decreases in unit volumes due to reduced demand in the toy, adapters and consumer products markets as a result of the worldwide economic downturn. Gross margin dollars declined due to lower revenue and unit volumes, changes in product mix as well as higher manufacturing unit costs as the result of lower factory utilization.

SDT had operating income of $0.9 million and operating loss of $0.1 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 compared to operating income of $3.1 million and $5.8 million for the comparable periods in 2008, respectively. The decrease in operating income was due to lower gross margin as discussed above. R&D and G&A expenses decreased due to continued cost discipline and reduced variable compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our main sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility.

Our senior credit facility consists of a $498.5 million term loan facility and a $100.0 million revolving line of credit. The senior credit facility imposes various restrictions upon us that could limit our ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments or to take advantage of business opportunities. It also includes restrictive covenants that limit our ability to consolidate, merge or enter into acquisitions, create liens, pay dividends or make similar restricted payments, sell assets, invest in capital expenditures and incur indebtedness. The senior credit facility also limits our ability to modify our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or enter into shareholder agreements, voting trusts or similar arrangements. In addition, the affirmative covenants in the senior credit facility also require our financial performance to comply with certain financial measures, as defined by the credit agreement. These financial covenants require us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5 to 1.0, a maximum net leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 and to maintain four quarter trailing EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) less capital expenditures of at least $30.0 million. It defines the interest coverage ratio as the ratio of annualized interest expense to the cumulative four quarter trailing EBITDA and defines the maximum net leverage ratio as the ratio of debt, less up to $100 million (to the extent our unrestricted cash on hand exceeds $200 million), to the cumulative four quarter trailing EBITDA. EBITDA, as defined by the senior credit facility excludes restructuring, non-cash equity compensation and other adjustments as defined by the credit agreement. At June 28, 2009, we were in compliance with these covenants. Based on our current models through 2009, we expect to remain in compliance with our senior credit facility covenants. This expectation is subject to various risks and uncertainties discussed more thoroughly in Item 1A, and include, among others, the risk that our assumptions and expectations about business conditions, expenses and cash flows for the remainder of the year may be inaccurate.

While our senior credit facility places restrictions on the payment of dividends, it does not restrict the subsidiaries of Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, except to a limited extent, from paying dividends or making advances to Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation. As a result, we believe that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and funds from our senior credit facility will be sufficient to meet our debt obligations, operating requirements, capital expenditures and research and development funding needs over the next twelve months. In the first six months of 2009, we incurred capital expenditures of $21.4 million.

Under our senior credit facility, we have revolving borrowing capacity of $100.0 million for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. At June 28, 2009, $19.4 million was drawn against the revolver and, after adjusting for outstanding letters of credit, we had $78.7 million available under the revolving credit facility. We had additional outstanding letters of credit of $1.1 million that do not fall under the senior credit facility. We also had $6.2 million of undrawn credit facilities at certain of our foreign subsidiaries. These outstanding amounts do not impact available borrowings under the senior credit facility.

We frequently evaluate opportunities to sell additional equity or debt securities, obtain credit facilities from lenders or restructure our long-term debt to further strengthen our financial position. During the second quarter of 2009, we amended (the “Amendment”) our senior credit facility to enable us to voluntarily prepay and retire a portion of our term loan facility to take advantage of potentially favorable conditions in the credit markets that may occur from time to time. The Amendment permits us to prepay up to $100 million (net of interest and fees) of term loans for a 12 month period following the effective date of the Amendment subject to certain minimum liquidity and customary financial conditions. During the second quarter of 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, we completed a tender offer to buyback a portion of our term loan below par. As a result of this debt buyback we reduced our debt by $14.7 million, paying $13.8 million in cash and recognizing $0.8 million gain, net of fees on the transaction. As of June 28, 2009, Standard and Poor’s rates our corporate unsecured debt at BB-. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Additional borrowing or equity investment may be required to fund future acquisitions.

During the first six months of 2009, our cash provided by operating activities was $72.8 million compared to $121.8 million in the same period of 2008. The following table presents a summary of net cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of 2009 and 2008.

Table of Contents

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $49.0 million during the first six months of 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008. The decrease was mainly due to decreased net income in 2009, offset partially by favorable changes in our working capital accounts.

Cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2009 totaled $23.6 million compared to $88.0 million for the same period of 2008. The decrease in the use of cash is primarily the result of lower capital expenditures in the first six months of 2009. Our capital expenditures during the first six months of 2009 were $21.4 million compared to $88.6 million in the same period in 2008.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $17.1 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to $52.0 million in the same period of 2008. The decrease in the use of cash was primarily due to the use of $50 million of cash in the redemption of our 5% convertible senior subordinated notes in the first six months of 2008. In 2009, only $16.4 million of debt was paid down.

As of June 28, 2009, we had $8.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, compared to approximately $9.7 million at December 28, 2008. The timing of the expected cash outflow relating to the balance is not reliably determinable at this time.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2008, we partially adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 157, Fair Value Measurements . In accordance with FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement 157 , we deferred the adoption of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities including intangible assets, reporting units measured at fair value in the first step of a goodwill impairment test, and asset retirement obligations. We fully adopted SFAS 157 on the first day of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three related Staff Positions; FSP 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that Are Not Orderly, FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments and FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. These staff positions clarify the guidance in SFAS 157 for fair value measurements in inactive markets, modify the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities and require the disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments in interim periods. These staff positions were adopted for the second quarter ending June 28, 2009. The adoption of these standards did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events . The objective of this standard is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. This statement is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – An Amendment of FASB Statement 140 . The SFAS amends SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to eliminate the concept of a qualified special-purpose entity and related guidance, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 166 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation 46(R) . The SFAS amends FIN46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , to require former qualified special-purpose entities to be evaluated for consolidation and also changes the approach to determining a variable interest entity’s (VIE) primary beneficiary and requires companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate VIEs. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 167 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Reference is made to Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk, in Fairchild Semiconductor International’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2008 and under the subheading “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 52 of the Form 10-K. There were no material changes in the information we provided in our Form 10-K during the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to assure, as much as is reasonably possible, that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is communicated to management and recorded, processed, summarized and disclosed within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO) have evaluated, with the participation of our management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of June 28, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of a control effectiveness in future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or a deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first six months of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Patent Litigation with Power Integrations, Inc. On October 20, 2004, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, were sued by Power Integrations, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Power Integrations alleges that certain of our pulse width modulation (PWM) integrated circuit products infringe four Power Integrations U.S. patents, and seeks a permanent injunction preventing us from manufacturing, selling or offering the products for sale in the U.S., or from importing the products into the U.S., as well as money damages for past infringement. We have analyzed the Power Integrations patents in light of our products and, based on that analysis, do not believe our products violate Power Integrations’ patents. Accordingly, we are vigorously contesting this lawsuit.

We also petitioned the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for reexamination of all unexpired patents claims asserted in the case (those being all asserted claims from three of the four patents asserted in the case; the fourth patent has expired), and as a consequence the patent office initiated reexamination proceedings on all of those claims. In the first half of 2008, in the patent office’s first formal correspondence regarding the validity of the patents, all of those asserted claims were rejected by the patent office. In December 2008, the patent office issued final rejections of 12 of 14 patent claims from two of the three unexpired Power Integrations patents. In May 2009, the patent office accepted Power Integrations’ attempt to amend the rejected claims of both patents and reopened the reexaminations to consider the amendments. In July 2009, the patent office issued final rejections of the amended claims of both patents. As to the third unexpired patent involved in the lawsuit, in May 2009, the patent office issued a final office action rejecting all claims asserted by Power Integrations.

The trial in the case was divided into three phases. The first phase, held in October 2006, was on infringement, the willfulness of any infringement, and damages. On October 10, 2006, a jury returned a verdict finding that thirty-three of our PWM products infringe one or more of seven claims of the four patents being asserted. The jury also found that our infringement was willful, and assessed damages against us of approximately $34 million. The second phase of the trial, held in September 2007 before a different jury, was on the validity of the Power Integrations patents being asserted. On September 21, 2007 a jury returned a verdict in the second phase, finding that the four Power Integrations patents asserted in the lawsuit are valid. The third phase of the trial began on September 21, 2007, and covered the enforceability of the patents. On September 24, 2008, the court ruled on the third phase, finding that the patents are enforceable.

Table of Contents

On December 12, 2008 the judge overseeing the case reduced the jury’s October 10, 2006 damages award from approximately $34 million to approximately $6 million, and ordered a new trial on whether we willfully infringed Power Integrations’ asserted patents. The court also issued a permanent injunction on a limited number of our products enjoining us from making, selling or offering to sell the products in the U.S., or from importing the products into the U.S. The injunction took effect on May 13, 2009. We voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of those products in 2007 and has been offering replacement products since 2006.

On June 22, 2009, the new trial on willfulness was held. If the court in the new willfulness trial finds that our infringement was willful, the judge will have discretion to increase the final approximately $6 million damages award by up to three times the amount of the award. The judge in the case has also awarded Power Integrations pre-judgment interest. It is also possible that we could be required to pay Power Integrations’ attorney’s fees. The final damages award and injunction are subject to appeal and we expect to contest several aspects of the litigation and to appeal on several grounds at the appropriate time. If we choose to appeal, we would likely be required to post a bond or provide other security for some or the entire amount of the final damages award during the appeal process.

On May 23, 2008, Power Integrations filed another lawsuit against us, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary System General Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of three patents. Of the three patents claimed in this lawsuit, two are patents that were asserted against us and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in the October 2004 lawsuit described above. As mentioned above, the majority of the claims asserted in the first lawsuit from these two patents have now received final rejections from the patent office. On March 20, 2009, the patent office granted our request for ex parte reexamination of the claims from the third patent that was asserted against us, having reached the conclusion that the prior art presents a “substantial new question” as to the validity of the asserted claims. We believe we have strong defenses against Power Integrations’ claims and intend to vigorously defend this second lawsuit.

On October 14, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and System General Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Power Integrations in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PWM integrated circuit products infringe one or more claims of three U.S. patents owned by System General. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and an injunction preventing the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Power Integrations products found to infringe the asserted patents.

Patent Litigation with Infineon. On November 25, 2008, we and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation were sued by Infineon Technologies AG, Infineon Technologies Austria AG, and Infineon Technologies North America Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Infineon alleges that we infringe five Infineon U.S. patents and seeks a declaratory judgment that Infineon does not infringe six of our patents. On November 28, 2008, we answered the Infineon complaint with denials of their claims and our own counterclaims of infringement. In our counterclaim we are asserting that certain Infineon products infringe one or more claims of six or our patents.

On November 28, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation also filed a separate infringement action against Infineon Technologies AG and Infineon Technologies North America Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine, alleging that Infineon infringes two of our patents that Infineon did not raise in the Delaware case.

Both Infineon and we are asking for unspecified money damages, including enhanced damages for willful infringement, and a permanent injunction.

Other Legal Claims . From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We believe that there is no such ordinary-course litigation pending that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have analyzed the potential litigation outcomes from our current litigation in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies. While the exact amount of these losses is not known, we have recorded net reserves for potential litigation outcomes in the consolidated statement of operations, based upon our assessments of the potential liability using an analysis of the claims and historical experience in defending and/or resolving these claims. As of June 28, 2009, our balance for potential litigation outcomes was $6.7 million.

Table of Contents

A description of the risk factors associated with our business is set forth below. We review and update our risk factors each quarter. The description set forth below includes any changes to and supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business operations and financial condition.

The price of our common stock has fluctuated widely in the past and may fluctuate widely in the future.

Our common stock, which is traded on The New York Stock Exchange, has experienced and may continue to experience significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in financial results, earnings below analysts’ estimates and financial performance and other activities of other publicly traded companies in the semiconductor industry could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, in recent periods, our common stock, the stock market in general and the market for shares of semiconductor industry-related stocks in particular have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Any similar fluctuations in the future could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We maintain a backlog of customer orders that is subject to cancellation, reduction or delay in delivery schedules, which may result in lower than expected revenues.

We manufacture products primarily pursuant to purchase orders for current delivery or to forecast, rather than pursuant to long-term supply contracts. The semiconductor industry is subject to rapid changes in customer outlooks or unexpected build ups of inventory in the supply channel as a result of shifts in end market demand and macro economic conditions. Accordingly, many of these purchase orders or forecasts may be revised or canceled without penalty. As a result, we must commit resources to the production of products without any advance purchase commitments from customers. Even in cases where our standard terms and conditions of sale or other contractual arrangements do not permit a customer to cancel an order without penalty, we may from time to time accept cancellations because of industry practice or custom or other factors. Our inability to sell products after we devote significant resources to them could have a material adverse effect on both our levels of inventory and revenues. While we currently believe our inventory levels are appropriate, the current global economic uncertainty has resulted in lower than expected demand, which has impacted our customers’ target inventory levels as they manage their business through this period. Customer demand may also decrease further depending on global macro economic conditions in 2009. We continue to carefully manage our inventory and anticipate that demand may improve in the second half of 2009 as our customers place orders to replenish their inventories, however our current business forecasting is hampered by poor forward visibility.

Downturns in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry or changes in end user market demands could reduce the profitability and overall value of our business, which could cause the trading price of our stock to decline or have other adverse effects on our financial position.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical, and the value of our business may decline during the “down” portion of these cycles. As we have experienced in the past, the current uncertainty and downturn in global economic conditions could negatively affect us and the rest of the semiconductor industry, by causing us to experience backlog cancellations and reduced demand for our products, resulting in significant revenue declines, due to excess inventories at our customers, especially in the technology and automotive sectors. We may experience renewed, possibly more severe and prolonged, downturns in the future as a result of such cyclical changes. Even as demand increases following such downturns, our profitability may not increase because of price competition that historically accompanies recoveries in demand. In addition, we may experience significant changes in our profitability as a result of variations in sales, changes in product mix, changes in end user markets and the costs associated with the introduction of new products, and our efforts to reduce excess inventories that may have built up as a result of any of these factors. The markets for our products depend on continued demand for consumer electronics such as personal computers, cellular telephones and digital cameras, and automotive, household and industrial goods. These end user markets may experience changes in demand, such as the recent decreases we have experienced as a result of deteriorating global economic conditions, that could adversely affect our prospects.

Our failure to implement, and also the completion and impact of, our cost reduction initiatives could adversely affect our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Table of Contents

We have recently taken aggressive cost reduction actions in order to stay ahead of the economic environment. These actions include plans to streamline and consolidate wafer manufacturing by closing our wafer manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania and closing our four-inch manufacturing line in South Korea, an insourcing program to transition higher-cost outside subcontractors to internal manufacturing, lowering our materials costs, workforce reductions, and reductions in employee benefits. We expect these actions will simplify operations, improve productivity and reduce costs.

We cannot guarantee that these actions will be successfully implemented, or will sufficiently help in returning to profitability. Because our restructuring activities involve changes to many aspects of our business, the cost reductions could adversely impact productivity and sales to an extent we have not anticipated. Even if we fully execute and implement these activities and they generate the anticipated cost savings, there may be other unforeseeable and unintended factors or consequences that could adversely impact our profitability and business.

We may not be able to develop new products to satisfy changing demands from customers.

Our failure to develop new technologies, or react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay development of new products, which could result in decreased revenues and a loss of market share to our competitors. The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapidly changing technologies and industry standards, together with frequent new product introductions. Our financial performance depends on our ability to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, market and support new products and enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis. New products often command higher prices and, as a result, higher profit margins. We may not successfully identify new product opportunities and develop and bring new products to market or succeed in selling them into new customer applications in a timely and cost-effective manner. Products or technologies developed by other companies may render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. Many of our competitors are larger, older and well established international companies with greater engineering and research and development resources than us. A fundamental shift in technologies in our product markets that we fail to identify correctly or adequately, or that we fail to capitalize on, in each case relative to our competitors, could have material adverse effects on our competitive position within the industry. In addition, to remain competitive, we must continue to reduce die sizes, develop new packages and improve manufacturing yields. We cannot assure you that we can accomplish these goals.

If some original equipment manufacturers do not design our products into their equipment, our revenue may be adversely affected.

The success of our products often depends on whether OEMs, or their contract manufacturers, choose to incorporate or “design in” our products, or identify our products, with those from a limited number of other vendors, as approved for use in particular OEM applications. Even receiving “design wins” from a customer does not guarantee future sales to that customer. We may be unable to achieve these “design wins” due to competition over the subject product’s functionality, size, electrical characteristics or other aspect of its design, price, or due to our inability to service expected demand from the customer or other factors. Without design wins, we would only be able to sell our products to customers as a second source, if at all. If an OEM designs another supplier’s product into one of its applications, it is more difficult for us to achieve future design wins with that application because, for the customer, changing suppliers involves significant cost, time, effort and risk. In addition, achieving a design win with a customer does not ensure that we will receive significant revenue from that customer and we may be unable to convert design into actual sales.

We depend on demand from the consumer, original equipment manufacturer, contract manufacturing, industrial, automotive and other markets we serve for the end market applications which incorporate our products. Reduced consumer or corporate spending due to increased energy prices or other economic factors could affect our revenues.

Our revenue and gross margin guidance are based on certain levels of consumer and corporate spending. If our projections of these expenditures fail to materialize, due to reduced consumer or corporate spending from increased energy prices or other economic factors, our revenues and gross margins could be adversely affected. For example, beginning in the third quarter of 2008 and continuing into the fourth quarter, we observed progressively weakening order rates which we attribute to the current uncertainty and deterioration in global economic conditions. While order rates improved in the first half of 2009, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, our current business forecasting is hampered by poor forward visibility, as our OEM and distributor end customers are cautious in their booking activity. While we cannot predict how long this down cycle will last, we are proactively taking actions to manage our business through it.

Our failure to protect our intellectual property ri ghts could adversely affect our future performance and growth.

Failure to protect our existing intellectual property rights may result in the loss of valuable technologies. We rely on patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law to protect such technologies. These laws are subject to change. For instance, there have been recent developments in the laws and regulations governing the issuance and assertion of patents in the U.S., such as modifications to the rules governing patent prosecution and court rulings on the issues of willfulness, obviousness and injunctions, that may affect our ability to obtain patents and/or enforce our patents against others. Some of our technologies are not covered by any patent or patent application, and we cannot assure you that:

In addition, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in some countries.

We also seek to protect our proprietary technologies, including technologies that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, inventors’ rights agreements with our collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons or institutions will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of such research. Some of our technologies have been licensed on a non-exclusive basis from National Semiconductor, Samsung Electronics and other companies which may license such technologies to others, including our competitors. In addition, under a technology licensing and transfer agreement, National Semiconductor has limited royalty-free, worldwide license rights (without right to sublicense) to some of our technologies. If necessary or desirable, we may seek licenses under patents or intellectual property rights claimed by others. However, we cannot assure you that we will obtain such licenses or that the terms of any offered licenses will be acceptable to us. The failure to obtain a license from a third party for technologies we use could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the manufacture or shipment of products or our use of processes requiring the technologies.

Our failure to obtain or maintain the right to use some technologies may negatively affect our financial results.

Our future success and competitive position depend in part upon our ability to obtain or maintain proprietary technologies used in our principal products, which is achieved in part by defending claims by competitors and others of intellectual property infringement. The semiconductor industry is characterized by claims of intellectual property infringement and litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. From time to time, we may be notified of claims (often implicit in offers to sell us a license to another company’s patents) that we may be infringing patents issued to other companies, and we may subsequently engage in license negotiations regarding these claims. Such claims relate both to products and manufacturing processes. Even though we maintain procedures to avoid infringing others’ rights as part of our product and process development efforts, it is impossible to be aware of every possible patent which our products may infringe, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful. Furthermore, even if we conclude our products do not infringe another’s patents, others may not agree. We have been and are involved in lawsuits, and could become subject to other lawsuits, in which it is alleged that we have infringed upon the patent or other intellectual property rights of other companies. For example, since October 2004, we have been in litigation with Power Integrations, Inc. See Item 1, Legal Proceedings. Our involvement in this litigation and future intellectual property litigation, or the costs of avoiding or settling litigation by purchasing licenses rights or by other means, could result in significant expense to our company, adversely affecting sales of the challenged products or technologies and diverting the efforts and attention of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor. We may decide to settle patent infringement claims or litigation by purchasing license rights from the claimant, even if we believe we are not infringing, in order to reduce the expense of continuing the dispute or because we are not sufficiently confident that we would eventually prevail. In the event of an adverse outcome as a defendant in any such litigation, we may be required to:

34

• the patents owned by us or numerous other patents which third parties license to us will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged or licensed to other companies; or

• any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued within the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all.

• pay substantial damages; • indemnify our customers for damages they might suffer if the products they purchase from us violate the intellectual property rights of

others; • stop our manufacture, use, sale or importation of infringing products;

We cannot assure you that we would be successful in such development or acquisition or that such licenses would be available under reasonable terms. Any such development, acquisition or license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources.

We may not be able to consummate future acquisitions or successfully integrate acquisitions into our business.

We have made fourteen acquisitions of various sizes since we became an independent company in 1997 and we plan to pursue additional acquisitions of related businesses. The costs of acquiring and integrating related businesses, or our failure to integrate them successfully into our existing businesses, could result in our company incurring unanticipated expenses and losses. In addition, we may not be able to identify or finance additional acquisitions or realize any anticipated benefits from acquisitions we do complete.

We are constantly pursuing acquisition opportunities and consolidation possibilities and are frequently conducting due diligence or holding preliminary discussions with respect to possible acquisition transactions, some of which could be significant. No material potential acquisition transactions are subject to a letter of intent or otherwise so far advanced as to make the transaction reasonably certain.

If we acquire another business, the process of integrating acquired operations into our existing operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and may require significant financial resources that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development or expansion of existing operations. Some of the risks associated with acquisitions include:

In addition, we may encounter unforeseen obstacles or costs in the integration of other businesses we acquire.

Possible future acquisitions could result in the incurrence of additional debt, contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We may face risks associated with dispositions of assets and businesses.

From time to time we may dispose of assets and businesses as part of our efforts to grow our most profitable product lines. When we do so, we face risks associated with those exit activities, including but not limited to risks relating to service disruptions at our customers, risks of inadvertently losing other business not related to the exit activities, risks associated with our inability to effectively continue, terminate, modify and manage supplier and vendor relationships or commitments that may be affected by those exit activities, and the risks of consequential claims from customers or vendors resulting from the elimination, or transfer of production of, affected products or the renegotiation of commitments.

We depend on suppliers for timely deliveries of raw materials of acceptable quality. Production time and product costs could increase if we were to lose a primary supplier or if we experience a significant increase in the prices of our raw materials. Product performance could be affected and quality issues could develop as a result of a significant degradation in the quality of raw materials we use in our products.

35

• expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing technologies; • discontinue manufacturing processes; or • obtain licenses to the intellectual property we are found to have infringed.

• unexpected losses of key employees, customers or suppliers of the acquired company; • conforming the acquired company’s standards, processes, procedures and controls with our operations; • coordinating new product and process development; • hiring additional management and other critical personnel; • negotiating with labor unions; and • increasing the scope, geographic diversity and complexity of our operations.

Our manufacturing processes use many raw materials, including silicon wafers, gold, copper lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and various chemicals and gases. Our manufacturing operations depend upon obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials on a timely basis. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we were unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner or if the costs of raw materials increased significantly. If the prices of these raw materials rise significantly we may be unable to pass on the increased cost to our customers, which would result in decreased margins for the products in which they are used. Results could also be adversely affected if there is a significant degradation in the quality of raw materials used in our products, or if the raw materials give rise to compatibility or performance issues in our products, any of which could lead to an increase in customer returns or product warranty claims. Although we maintain rigorous quality control systems, errors or defects may arise from a supplied raw material and be beyond our detection or control. For example, some phosphorus-containing mold compound received from one supplier and incorporated into our products has resulted in a number of claims for damages from customers. We purchase some of our raw materials such as silicon wafers, lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and chemicals and gases from a limited number of suppliers on a just-in-time basis. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. We subcontract a minority of our wafer fabrication needs, primarily to Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Central Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Jilin Magic Semiconductor, Macronix International Co. Ltd., Phenitec Semiconductor and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. In order to maximize our production capacity, some of our back-end assembly and testing operations are also subcontracted. Primary back-end subcontractors include Amkor, ASE, AUK, GEM Services, Hana Semiconductor, Liteon, Tak Cheong Electronics and UTAC Ltd. Our operations and ability to satisfy customer obligations could be adversely affected if our relationships with these subcontractors were disrupted or terminated.

Delays in expanding capacity at existing facilities, implementing new production techniques, or incurring problems associated with technical equipment malfunctions, all could adversely affect our manufacturing efficiencies.

Our manufacturing efficiency is an important factor in our profitability, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our manufacturing efficiency or increase manufacturing efficiency to the same extent as our competitors. Our manufacturing processes are highly complex, require advanced and costly equipment and are continuously being modified in an effort to improve yields and product performance. Impurities or other difficulties in the manufacturing process can lower yields. We are currently engaged in an effort to expand capacity at some of our manufacturing facilities. As is common in the semiconductor industry, we have from time to time experienced difficulty in completing transitions to new manufacturing processes at existing facilities. As a consequence, we have suffered delays in product deliveries or reduced yields.

We may experience delays or problems in bringing new manufacturing capacity to full production. Such delays, as well as possible problems in achieving acceptable yields, or product delivery delays relating to existing or planned new capacity could result from, among other things, capacity constraints, construction delays, upgrading or expanding existing facilities or changing our process technologies, any of which could result in a loss of future revenues. Our operating results could also be adversely affected by the increase in fixed costs and operating expenses related to increases in production capacity if revenues do not increase proportionately.

Slightly less than two-thirds of our sales are made to distributors who can terminate their relationships with us with little or no notice. The termination of a distributor could reduce sales and result in inventory returns.

Distributors accounted for 64% of our net sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2009. Our top five distributors worldwide accounted for 16% of our net sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2009. As a general rule, we do not have long-term agreements with our distributors, and they may terminate their relationships with us with little or no advance notice. Distributors generally offer competing products. The loss of one or more of our distributors, or the decision by one or more of them to reduce the number of our products they offer or to carry the product lines of our competitors, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The termination of a significant distributor, whether at our or the distributor’s initiative, or a disruption in the operations of one or more of our distributors, could reduce our net sales in a given quarter and could result in an increase in inventory returns.

The semiconductor business is very competitive, especially in the markets we serve, and increased competition could reduce the value of an investment in our company.

The semiconductor industry is, and the standard component or “multi-market” semiconductor product markets in particular are, highly competitive. Competitors offer equivalent or similar versions of many of our products, and customers may switch from our products to competitors’ products on the basis of price, delivery terms, product performance, quality, reliability and customer service or a combination of any of these factors. Competition is especially intense in the multi-market semiconductor segment because it is relatively easier for customers to switch suppliers of more standardized, multi-market products like ours, compared to switching suppliers of more highly integrated or customized semiconductor products such as processors or system-on-a-chip products, which we do not manufacture. In the past we have experienced decreases in prices during “down” cycles in the semiconductor industry, and this may occur again as a result of the recent downturn in global economic conditions. Even in strong markets, price pressures may emerge as competitors attempt to gain a greater market share by lowering prices. Competition in the various markets in which we participate comes from companies of various sizes, many of which are larger and have greater financial and other resources than we have and thus are better able to pursue acquisition candidates and can better withstand adverse economic or market conditions. In addition, companies not currently in direct competition with us may introduce competing products in the future.

We may not be able to attract or retain the technical or management employees necessary to remain competitive in our industry.

Our continued success depends on the retention and recruitment of skilled personnel, including technical, marketing, management and staff personnel. In the semiconductor industry, the competition for qualified personnel, particularly experienced design engineers and other technical employees, is intense, particularly in the “up” portions of our business cycle, when competitors may try to recruit our most valuable technical employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our current personnel or recruit the key personnel we require.

If we must reduce our use of equity awards to compensate our employees, our competitiveness in the employee marketplace could be adversely affected. Our results of operations could vary as a result of the methods, estimates and judgments we use to value our stock-based compensation.

Like most technology companies, we have a history of using broad-based employee stock programs to recruit and retain our workforce in a competitive employment marketplace. Our success will depend in part upon the continued use of stock options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and performance-based equity awards as a compensation tool. We plan to seek stockholder approval for increases in the number of shares available for grant under the Fairchild Semiconductor 2007 Stock Plan as well as other amendments that may be adopted from time to time which require stockholder approval. If these proposals do not receive stockholder approval, we may not be able to grant stock options and other equity awards to employees at the same levels as in the past, which could adversely affect our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, and we may need to increase cash compensation in order to attract, retain and motivate employees, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

The calculation of stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) requires us to use valuation methodologies and a number of estimates, assumptions and conclusions regarding matters such as the expected volatility of our share price, the expected life of our options, the expected dividend rate with respect to our common stock, expected forfeitures and the exercise behavior of our employees. There are no means, under applicable accounting principles, to compare and adjust this expense if and when we learn of additional information that may affect the estimates that we previously made, with the exception of changes in expected forfeitures of stock-based awards. Certain factors may arise over time that lead us to change our estimates and assumptions with respect to future stock-based compensation, resulting in variability in our stock-based compensation expense over time. Changes in forecasted stock-based compensation expense could impact our gross margin percentage, research and development expenses, marketing, general and administrative expenses and our tax rate.

We may face product warranty or product liability claims that are disproportionately higher than the value of the products involved.

Our products are typically sold at prices that are significantly lower than the cost of the equipment or other goods in which they are incorporated. For example, our products that are incorporated into a personal computer may be sold for several dollars, whereas the personal computer might be sold by the computer maker for several hundred dollars. Although we maintain rigorous quality control systems, we manufacture and sell approximately 18 billion individual semiconductor devices per year to customers around the world, and in the ordinary course of our business we receive warranty claims for some of these products that are defective or that do not perform to published specifications. Since a defect or failure in our product could give rise to failures in the goods that incorporate them (and consequential claims for damages against our

Table of Contents

customers from their customers), we may face claims for damages that are disproportionate to the revenues and profits we receive from the products involved. We attempt, through our standard terms and conditions of sale and other customer contracts, to limit our liability by agreeing only to replace the defective goods or refund the purchase price. Nevertheless, we have received claims for other charges, such as for labor and other costs of replacing defective parts or repairing the products into which the defective products are incorporated, lost profits and other damages. In addition, our ability to reduce such liabilities, whether by contracts or otherwise, may be limited by the laws or the customary business practices of the countries where we do business. And, even in cases where we do not believe we have legal liability for such claims, we may choose to pay for them to retain a customer’s business or goodwill or to settle claims to avoid protracted litigation. Our results of operations and business could be adversely affected as a result of a significant quality or performance issue in our products, if we are required or choose to pay for the damages that result. For example, from 2001 to 2008 we received claims from a number of customers seeking damages resulting from certain products manufactured with a phosphorus-containing mold compound, and we were named in lawsuits relating to these mold compound claims.

Our international operations subject our company to risks not faced by domestic competitors.

Through our subsidiaries we maintain significant operations and facilities in the Philippines, Malaysia, China, South Korea and Singapore. We have sales offices and customers around the world. Approximately 78% of our revenues in second quarter of 2009 were from Asia. The following are some of the risks inherent in doing business on an international level:

We acquired significant operations and revenues when we acquired a business from Samsung Electronics and, as a result, are subject to risks inherent in doing business in Korea, including political risk, labor risk and currency risk.

As a result of the acquisition of the power device business from Samsung Electronics in 1999, we have significant operations and sales in South Korea and are subject to risks associated with doing business there. Korea accounted for 15% of our revenue for the quarter ended June 28, 2009.

Relations between South Korea and North Korea have been tense over most of South Korea’s history, and more recent concerns over North Korea’s nuclear capability, and relations between the U.S. and North Korea, have created a global security issue that may adversely affect Korean business and economic conditions. We cannot assure you as to whether or when this situation will be resolved or change abruptly as a result of current or future events. An adverse change in economic or political conditions in South Korea or in its relations with North Korea could have a material adverse effect on our Korean subsidiary and our company. In addition to other risks disclosed relating to international operations, some businesses in South Korea are subject to labor unrest.

Our Korean sales are increasingly denominated primarily in U.S. dollars while a significant portion of our Korean operations’ costs of goods sold and operating expenses are denominated in South Korean won. Although we have taken steps to fix the costs subject to currency fluctuations and to balance won revenues and won costs as much as possible, a significant change in this balance, coupled with a significant change in the value of the won relative to the dollar, could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations (see Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk).

• economic and political instability; • foreign currency fluctuations; • transportation delays; • trade restrictions; • changes in laws and regulations relating to, amongst other things, import and export tariffs, taxation, environmental regulations, land use

rights and property, • work stoppages; and • the laws of, including tax laws, and the policies of the U.S. toward, countries in which we manufacture our products.

Table of Contents

A change in foreign tax laws or a difference in the construction of current foreign tax laws by relevant foreign authorities could result in us not recognizing any anticipated benefits.

Some of our foreign subsidiaries have been granted preferential income tax or other tax holidays as an incentive for locating in those jurisdictions. A change in the foreign tax laws or in the construction of the foreign tax laws governing these tax holidays, or our failure to comply with the terms and conditions governing the tax holidays, could result in us not recognizing the anticipated benefits we derive from them, which would decrease our profitability in those jurisdictions. We continue to monitor the tax holidays, the income tax laws governing the tax holidays, and our compliance with the terms and conditions of the tax holidays, to ensure that the current and future tax impacts on our subsidiaries in these countries are anticipated and refined.

We have significantly expanded our manufacturing operations in China and, as a result, will be increasingly subject to risks inherent in doing business in China, which may adversely affect our financial performance.

We expect a significant portion of our production from our Suzhou, China facility will be exported out of China, however, we are hopeful that a significant portion of our future revenue will result from the Chinese markets in which our products are sold, and from demand in China for goods that include our products. Our ability to operate in China may be adversely affected by changes in that country’s laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. In addition, our results of operations in China are subject to the economic and political situation there. We believe that our operations in China are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, there can be no assurance that China’s central or local governments will not impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures. Changes in the political environment or government policies could result in revisions to laws or regulations or their interpretation and enforcement, increased taxation, restrictions on imports, import duties or currency revaluations. In addition, a significant destabilization of relations between China and the U.S. could result in restrictions or prohibitions on our operations or the sale of our products in China. The legal system of China relating to foreign trade is relatively new and continues to evolve. There can be no certainty as to the application of its laws and regulations in particular instances. Enforcement of existing laws or agreements may be sporadic and implementation and interpretation of laws inconsistent. Moreover, there is a high degree of fragmentation among regulatory authorities resulting in uncertainties as to which authorities have jurisdiction over particular parties or transactions.

We are subject to many environmental laws and regulations that could affect our operations or result in significant expenses.

Increasingly stringent environmental regulations restrict the amount and types of pollutants that can be released from our operations into the environment. While the cost of compliance with environmental laws has not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations historically, compliance with these and any future regulations could require significant capital investments in pollution control equipment or changes in the way we make our products. In addition, because we use hazardous and other regulated materials in our manufacturing processes, we are subject to risks of liabilities and claims, regardless of fault, resulting from our use, transportation, emission, discharge, storage, recycling or disposal of hazardous materials, including personal injury claims and civil and criminal fines, any of which could be material to our cash flow or earnings. For example:

Although most of our known environmental liabilities are covered by indemnification agreements with Raytheon Company, National Semiconductor, Samsung Electronics and Intersil Corporation, these indemnities are limited to conditions that occurred prior to the consummation of the transactions through which we acquired facilities from those companies. Moreover, we cannot assure you that their indemnity obligations to us for the covered liabilities will be available, or, if available, adequate to protect us.

• we currently are remediating contamination at some of our operating plant sites; • we have been identified as a potentially responsible party at a number of Superfund sites where we (or our predecessors) disposed of wastes

in the past; and • significant regulatory and public attention on the impact of semiconductor operations on the environment may result in more stringent

regulations, further increasing our costs.

We are a leveraged company with a ratio of debt to equity at June 28, 2009 of approximately 0.5 to 1, which could adversely affect our financial health and limit our ability to grow and compete.

At June 28, 2009, we had total debt of $517.9 million and the ratio of this debt to equity was approximately 0.5 to 1. As of June 28, 2009, our senior credit facility includes $498.5 million in term loans and the $100 million revolving line of credit, of which $78.7 million remained undrawn. In addition, there is a $150 million uncommitted incremental term loan feature. Despite reducing some of our long-term debt, we continue to carry substantial indebtedness which could have significant consequences. For example, it could:

Despite current indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur substantially more indebtedness. Incurring more indebtedness could exacerbate the risks described above.

We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the terms of the credit agreement relating to the senior credit facility contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions and, under certain circumstances, additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions or upon further amendment of the credit facility could be substantial. As of June 2008, the senior credit facility permits borrowings of up to $100 million in revolving loans under the line of credit and up to $150 million under the uncommitted incremental term loan feature, in addition to the outstanding $498.5 million term loans that are currently outstanding under that facility. As of June 28, 2009, adjusted for outstanding letters of credit, we had up to $78.7 million available under the revolving loan portion of the senior credit facility. If new debt is added to our subsidiaries’ current debt levels, the substantial risks described above would intensify.

We may not be able to generate the necessary amount of cash to service our indebtedness, which may require us to refinance our indebtedness or default on our scheduled debt payments. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our historical financial results have been, and our future financial results are anticipated to be, subject to substantial fluctuations, including as a result of the recent downturn in global economic conditions. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that currently anticipated cost savings and operating improvements will be realized on schedule or at all, or that future borrowings will be available to us under our senior credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. In addition, because our senior credit facility has variable interest rates, the cost of those borrowings will increase if market interest rates increase. If we are unable to meet our expenses and debt obligations, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity, sell assets or raise equity. We cannot assure you that we would be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, sell assets or raise equity on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could cause us to

40

• require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;

• increase the amount of our interest expense, because certain of our borrowings (namely borrowings under our senior credit facility) are at variable rates of interest, which, if interest rates increase, could result in higher interest expense;

• increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; • limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; • restrict us from making strategic acquisitions, introducing new technologies or exploiting business opportunities; • make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the instruments governing our indebtedness; • place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness; or • limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt instruments, among other things, our ability to borrow additional

funds, dispose of assets, repurchase stock or pay cash dividends. Failing to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

default on our obligations and impair our liquidity. Restrictions imposed by the credit agreement relating to our senior credit facility restrict or prohibit our ability to engage in or enter into some business operating and financing arrangements, which could adversely affect our ability to take advantage of potentially profitable business opportunities.

The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in the credit agreement relating to our senior credit facility may limit our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interests. The credit agreement imposes significant operating and financial restrictions that affect our ability to incur additional indebtedness or create liens on our assets, pay dividends, sell assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions, make investments or engage in other business activities. These restrictions could place us at a disadvantage relative to competitors not subject to such limitations.

In addition, the senior credit facility also requires us to maintain specified financial ratios. Our ability to meet those financial ratios can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios. As of June 28, 2009, we were in compliance with these ratios. A breach of any of these covenants, ratios or restrictions could result in an event of default under the senior credit facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the senior credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior credit facility, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against our assets, including any collateral granted to them to secure the indebtedness. If the lenders under the senior credit facility accelerate the payment of the indebtedness, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness and our other indebtedness.

We have investments in auction rate securities that subject us to market risk which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial results.

As of June 28, 2009, we owned auction rate securities with a par value of $51.3 million and market value of $36.9 million. We continue to accrue and receive interest on these securities based on a contractual rate. However, the auction rate security market is no longer active and as a result these securities are no longer liquid. We do not believe the auction failures will materially impact our ability to fund out working capital needs, capital expenditures or other business requirements.

The company did not make any purchases of its own common stock during the second quarter of 2009.

FAIRCHILD INCENTIVE PLAN (As Amended and Restated Effective April 1, 2009)

The Fairchild Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to help retain eligible employees and reward them for contributing to the success and profitability of the Company. These objectives are accomplished by making incentive awards under the Plan and providing Participants with a proprietary interest in the growth and performance of the Company. The Plan is a non-ERISA cash bonus plan providing cash awards on a periodic basis to eligible Fairchild employees based on measures of business performance for the measurement period. The Plan, as set forth in this document and amended hereafter, also may be referred to by the acronym FIP.

Whenever used in the Plan, unless otherwise indicated, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

1. Objective and Structure

2. Definitions

Award: The amount, if any, to be paid to a Plan Participant for a particular Measurement Period.

Award Date:

The date on which a FIP Award, if any, is due to be paid. Awards may be issued once or twice for each Company fiscal year so there shall be annual or semi-annual Award Dates. They shall be no later than sixty (60) days after the last day of each Measurement Period, or fifteen (15) days after consolidated financial statements for the Measurement Period are completed and accepted by the Company, whichever deadline is later.

Company:

Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation (“FSC”) or any corporate successor or assign which adopts or assumes the Plan. For purposes of eligibility to participate in the Plan, the term “Company,” as used herein, may also refer to any subsidiary or affiliate of FSC which adopts the Plan with the approval of FSC.

Committee:

The Plan administrator shall be a committee consisting of the Executive Vice President and CFO, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, and the Senior Vice President and General Counsel. The Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the Plan, as provided in Article 8 below, but may delegate routine administrative or clerical duties to one or more officers or employees of the Company. The actions, duties and responsibilities of the Committee noted and called for herein, are subject to the approval and discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company where stated herein.

- 2 -

Disability :

Inability to perform any services for the Company, combined with eligibility to receive disability benefits under the standards used by the Company’s long-term disability benefit plan.

Employee :

An individual in the regular full-time or regular part-time employ of the Company (or having comparable status in any foreign location of the Company, as determined by foreign management and approved by the Committee based on applicable local laws, customs and practices) at any time during the Measurement Period, not including any non-regular employees. Members of a collective bargaining unit, if any, shall be considered Employees for purposes of the Plan only if they satisfy the eligibility conditions of the preceding sentence and their collective bargaining agreement provides for their participation in the Plan. Any regular employees in a class that is eligible for a different incentive plan – including, without limitation: (i) sales, marketing and other employees who are eligible for the Company’s Sales Incentive Plan (or any successor plan thereto); (ii) any newly acquired employees who remain subject to either their prior employer’s incentive or bonus plan or to any special or transitional incentive or bonus plan assumed or adopted by the Company in connection with the acquisition of such employees; and (iii) any other group of one or more employees who the Committee determines either is covered by a different bonus or incentive plan or arrangement (except for the Company’s Key Technologist Incentive Award Plan) or shall not be covered by this Plan nor any other bonus or incentive plan or arrangement -- shall not be considered Employees under this Plan for any Measurement Period during which they fall within any such exclusion, except to the extent otherwise determined by the Committee or otherwise specified herein. Employees who are subject to a separate incentive or bonus pay formula pursuant to a written employment agreement entered into with their employer and to which the Company or subsidiary becomes obligated also shall be excluded from eligible Employee status under this Plan for any Measurement Periods to which that other arrangement applies, the same as if such Employees were instead covered by another group incentive plan, in accordance with the preceding rules.

Extraordinary Occurrence :

An event that, in the opinion of the Committee and with the Chief Executive Officer’s concurrence, is beyond the significant influence of Plan Participants or the Company and causes a significant unintended effect, positive or negative, on Company operating and financial results for a particular Measurement Period.

Measurement Period :

The period of performance on which Awards are based. The Measurement Periods shall be the annual or semi-annual periods corresponding to the fiscal year or the first half and the second half, respectively, of the Company’s fiscal year. The Committee shall have sole discretion in determining whether the Measurement Period shall be annual or semi-annual.

Participant : An Employee who at the time shall be a Participant in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.

Participation Levels :

The allocation of Participants into groups, by job code level or management selection, as set forth in Article 4 and 5, for which a single Target Award level applies within the group ( i.e. , for that Participation Level). Different Target Award levels may apply to different groups and within the same job code level, at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer. Absent any such special designations by the Chief Executive Officer, unless otherwise provided in this Plan a uniform Target Award level of 5% of Qualified Earnings shall apply to all Participants, so there shall be just one Participation level as well.

Performance Goal :

Levels of performance shall be set in accordance with one or more financial and strategic goals developed by the Chief Executive Officer (with Board approval) for the Company and, if further desired, for any division, department, or other business unit or Employee group within the Company. For each goal up to three levels of performance may beset, as follows:

(i)

Threshold The minimum acceptable level of performance for which an Award may be earned on a particular Performance Goal; generally, achieving 50% or more of the Target level of performance.

(ii) Target Achieving 100% of the Target level of performance.

(iii) Stretch Achieving more than 100% of the Target level of performance.

A Participant’s FIP Award typically (subject to Section 6.C.) shall be determined by multiplying the percentage by which the Company’s performance compares to the performance Target times the Participant’s Target Award level, as determined under Section 5 below, for the Measurement Period. For example, if the Company attains an approved Target performance level of 80%, a Participant with a 5% Target Award level would be entitled to 80% of 5%, or 4% of Qualified Earnings, as the FIP Award. However, if the Company attains an approved Target performance level in excess of 100% level for the Measurement Period, then whether any FIP Award is payable above 100% of a Participant’s Target Award level shall be determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who shall have full discretion to determine the amount (if any) of such additional FIP Award, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

Page 52: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

The Plan was originally established effective on March 11, 1997, which was the closing date of the reorganization of the three Fairchild divisions of National Semiconductor Corporation (the Discrete, Logic and Memory divisions) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization between Sterling Holding Company, LLC and National Semiconductor Corporation, dated January 31, 1997. This amendment and complete restatement of the Plan is effective April 1, 2009, and applies to awards for any Measurement Period which begins on or after that effective date.

A. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 4, all Employees shall participate in this Plan for every Measurement Period for which, as of the last day of the Measurement Period: (i) the individual is employed as an Employee by the Company and (ii) the Plan remains in effect.

- 4 -

Qualified Earnings :

The measure of compensation used to determine benefit amounts under this Plan. Qualified Earnings generally consist of certain amounts paid to the Participant by the Company for services rendered during the Measurement Period as an Employee of the Company. For purposes of this Plan, Qualified Earnings shall include base compensation, but shall exclude all bonuses (including within this exclusion, without limitation, sign-on bonuses, relocation bonuses, retention bonuses, Key Technologist Incentive Awards, awards under any other incentive plan in which the Employee is permitted to participate simultaneously with participation in this Plan, and any other amount payable in the nature of a bonus), shift differentials, fringe benefits and extraordinary items. Overtime payments on the Company’s United States payroll shall be included in Qualified Earnings, but overtime payments on any foreign payroll shall be excluded. The Committee has the authority and discretion to determine (i) to what extent the foregoing inclusions and exclusions must be altered to comply with local legal requirements in any particular foreign jurisdiction, and (ii) whether to include or exclude other items of compensation (such as, but not limited to, equalization pay for temporary relocation assignments) in determining Qualified Earnings for Employees in particular jobs or locations based on legal standards and customary practices applicable to that job or location.

Target Award :

The Award, expressed as a percentage of Qualified Earnings, that is earned by a Participant for the Company’s achievement of the Target level of performance. Unless otherwise stated in this Plan the Target Award level shall be five percent (5%) of Qualified Earnings.

4. Eligibility for Plan Participation

Page 53: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

B. An Employee who, as of the last day of a FIP Measurement Period, is participating in any other incentive or bonus plan sponsored or assumed by the Company generally shall not be eligible to receive any FIP Award for that Measurement Period; provided, however, this exclusion from participation shall not apply to participants in the Company’s Key Technologist Incentive Award Plan (who may participate in both plans simultaneously), nor to any individual who is participating simultaneously in any other bonus or incentive plan which the Committee (with the Chief Executive Officer’s concurrence) determines will not disqualify the individual from simultaneous participation in this Plan. In addition, if the Measurement Period is semi-annual, and as of the last day of the first semi-annual FIP Measurement Period during a Company fiscal year, an employee is participating in an incentive or bonus plan assumed or sponsored by the Company, having an annual measurement period and covering a select group of management or highly compensated employees and the Employee ceases participation in that plan during the year’s second FIP Measurement Period and so loses eligibility for the annual award under such other plan, then the individual shall immediately become eligible to participate in this Plan and as promptly as practicable the Employee will be paid the FIP Award (if any) that the Employee would have been entitled to for the year’s first Measurement Period had the Employee not been participating in such other plan.

C. An Employee who becomes entitled to a bonus payment under another bonus or incentive plan with respect to a measurement period which matches or substantially overlaps any Measurement Period under this Plan shall not be eligible for a FIP Award for that Measurement Period except to such extent as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion based on a review of the circumstances primarily for the purposes of preventing a forfeiture of benefits under this Plan but avoiding duplication of bonuses.

D. Participants will be notified of their eligibility and Participation Level during their initial Measurement Period, or by the end of the first quarter beginning after their Employee status commences, if later. Participants will be notified of subsequent changes in their eligibility and Participation Level as appropriate.

E. Newly hired Employees will be added as Participants to the Plan during the Measurement Period.

F. A Participant who is no longer an Employee on the last day of the Measurement Period will not be eligible for any FIP Award for that Measurement Period.

A. Each Participant will be assigned a Participation Level. If more than one Participation Level is used under the Plan, the Participant’s job code level typically will constitute his Participation Level, but the General Manager or Executive Vice President in charge of a Participant’s business unit may (with the approval of the Chief Executive Officer) assign one or more Participants to a Participation Level represented by a

5. Target Awards and Participation Levels

Page 54: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

different job code level for purposes solely of determining such Participant’s FIP Award for a given Measurement Period. Any such assignment under this Plan of a Participant to a Participation Level that does not match their job code level shall not constitute a promotion, demotion, transfer or other change in the individual’s employment status or a change in their job code level for any other purpose.

B. One Target Award level, expressed as a percentage of Qualified Earnings, shall be assigned to each respective Participation Level. If multiple Participation and Target Award levels are in use, then they shall be listed on Schedule A, which will be attached to and incorporated as part of this Plan. For every Measurement Period beginning on or after the effective date of this Plan restatement, unless otherwise modified by any such Schedule A the Target Award level for each Participation Level shall be a uniform five percent (5%) of Qualified Earnings.

A. Factors . A Participant’s FIP Award (if any) is measured by three factors. First, the Participation Level determines what corresponding Target Award level the Participant is eligible for. Second, the Target Award level is the percentage of Qualified Earnings that will be used as one of two products to calculate any FIP Award. Third, the degree to which the Company’s actual financial performance for the Measurement Period compares to the Company’s Performance Goal for that Period produces the other percentage used to calculate the FIP Award.

B. Performance Goal . Before each Measurement Period, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall, subject to Board approval, set the Company’s financial Performance Goal for that Period. The Performance Goal shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or more of the following measures: earnings per share (EPS), revenues, net profit after tax, gross profit, operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), various measures of cash flow, asset quality, stock price performance, unit volume, return on equity, change in working capital, return on capital or shareholder return. The Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Performance Goal to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a Measurement Period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and the effect of any discontinued operations reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, and (v) any extraordinary non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year. That Performance Goal serves as the target level of performance for the Measurement Period.

6. Calculation and Payment of Awards

Page 55: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

C. Calculation of Awards . Achievement of 50% to 100% of that Performance Goal target typically will produce, but does not guarantee, a FIP Award equal to the same percentage of the Participant’s Target Award level as the Company’s financial performance achieved relative to its target for the Measurement Period ( i.e., multiply the Performance Goal achievement percentage by the Target Award level percentage to produce the percentage of Qualified Earnings payable as the FIP Award). Achievement of less than 50% of the Performance Goal will produce no FIP Award for the Measurement Period because the minimum Threshold performance level was not attained. Achievement of more than 100% of the Performance Goal typically will produce, but does not guarantee, a FIP Award of at least 100% of the Participant’s Target Award level, but any amount in excess of a 100% award shall be determined in the discretion of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as provided in the definition of “Performance Goal” in Article 2 above. The Committee may, in its discretion, round the Performance Goal achievement percentage to the nearest whole percent before calculating the FIP Awards for any Measurement Period.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Company has complete discretion whether or not FIP Awards will be paid at all, or at the typical level, for a given Measurement Period, based on any factors that officer deems relevant, which may include the Company’s financial position, business objectives and how the Company’s financial performance for that Measurement Period was achieved ( i.e. , by revenue growth or by cost reduction).

D. Extraordinary Events . Under exceptional circumstances, revisions to Performance Goals may be made by the Chief Executive Officer during the Measurement Period if the business environment or key planning assumptions change significantly from conditions assumed or existing at the start of the Measurement Period. In addition, Performance Goals, performance scales, and Awards may be adjusted in the event there has been an Extraordinary Occurrence during the Measurement Period that:

Adjustments under the preceding sentence will be made solely for the purpose of neutralizing the effect of the Extraordinary Occurrence. All determinations made by the Chief Executive Officer under this Section 6.D shall be subject to Board approval.

E. Payment . Awards, if any, will be paid in cash in a single sum on or about each Award Date for which an Award is declared. A Participant on approved leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid) shall be paid his or her Award under the Plan at the same time and manner as an active Employee, with no deferral of the Award pending

(ii) unreasonably distorts Award calculations; or

(iii) results in undue benefit or detriment to the Plan Participants.

return from the leave, but a Participant who is inactive for reasons other than approved leave of absence or disability shall not be entitled to receive an Award unless and until he or she returns to active employment as an Employee.

Any Participant whose employment as an Employee terminates for any reason before the close of a Measurement Period, and who remains a non-Employee as of the last day of that Period, shall forfeit eligibility for any FIP Award for that Measurement Period.

The Committee shall have the right and power to exercise the following duties, in its sole discretion:

The Chief Executive Officer similarly shall have the right, power and discretion to exercise duties (i) and (ii) above with respect to such matters as are within that officer’s decision-making authority under the Plan.

The Committee may delegate any of its rights and duties under this Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company, or to an outside service provider, but Section 10.F. below shall not apply to any such outside service provider.

The Committee, with the approval of the Chief Executive Officer, may:

8. Interpretations and Rule-Making

(i) interpret the provisions of the Plan, and resolve questions thereunder, which interpretations and resolutions shall be final and

conclusive;

(ii) adopt such rules and regulations with regard to the administration of the Plan as it deems necessary in its discretion; and

(iii) generally take all action to administer the operation of the Plan.

9. Declaration of Incentives, Amendment or Discontinuance

Participants for the related Measurement Period;

Any amendment or termination of the Plan shall be done by unanimous written action of the Committee and Chief Executive Officer, but the Plan also may be contractually assigned by the Company to, or assumed by, any successor corporation without the need for action under this Article 9.

A. Except through beneficiary designations, no right or interest in the Plan is transferable or assignable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

B. Participation in this Plan does not guarantee any right to continued employment, and Company management reserves the right to dismiss Participants for any reason whatsoever.

C. The Company shall deduct from Awards under this Plan any taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld with respect to Award payments.

D. Maintenance of financial information relevant to measuring performance during the Measurement Period will be the responsibility of FSC’s Chief Financial Officer responsible for finance or that officer’s designee.

E. The provisions of the Plan shall not limit, or restrict, the right or power of the Company’s Board of Directors to adopt such other plans or programs, or to make salary, bonus, incentive, or other payments, with respect to compensation of officers or Employees, as in its sole judgment it may deem proper.

F. No member of the Committee or the Company’s Board of Directors, nor the Chief Executive Officer, nor any other officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company, shall have any liability to any person, firm, or corporation based on or arising out of this Plan.

G. This Program shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maine.

Exhibit 10.04

FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION RESTATED SEVERANCE BENEFIT PLAN

This document constitutes a plan and summary plan description of the Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation Restated Severance Benefit Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of February 12, 2001, and amends and supersedes any prior Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation Severance Benefit Plan document. The Plan is an “employee welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Your ERISA rights are described at the end of this pamphlet. This pamphlet is provided to you as required by ERISA. You should keep it for future reference.

The Plan provides guidelines for the payment of severance benefits in the event of a reduction-in-force or other instances where Fairchild Semiconductor, in its discretion, has decided to provide severance benefits. Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) shall determine in its sole discretion on a case-by-case basis whether or not a reduction-in-force has occurred and whether or not to pay severance benefits in the event of a reduction-in-force. In addition, the actual amount of the severance benefit is discretionary with the Company and may vary from the amounts shown herein as guidelines. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time.

1. SELECTION CRITERIA AND ELIGIBILITY

1

1.1 Eligible employees are those employees of the Company who are selected by the Company in its sole discretion to receive benefits under this Plan in the event of a reduction-in-force unless specifically excluded by the terms of this Plan as amended from time to time. Generally, only regular full-time and part-time employees will be considered for eligibility. All decisions as to whether a reduction-in-force has occurred and the employees affected by the reduction shall be made in the sole discretion of the Company. Even if you are on notice of an impending layoff pursuant to a covered reduction-in-force, you will not be eligible for benefits under this Plan if the Company determines in its sole and exclusive judgment that your employment terminated by resignation (even if you felt compelled to resign), by retirement, death, or by discharge for poor performance, misconduct, or any other reason except layoff pursuant to a covered reduction-in-force.

1.2 Unless the Company provides otherwise in writing, you will not be eligible for severance benefits under this Plan if the

Company, in its sole discretion, determines that either of the following provisions applies:

1.2.1 You have been offered, but refused to accept, another suitable position with the Company or any of its

subsidiaries or affiliates.

Page 60: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

2. SEVERANCE BENEFITS

2

1.2.2 You have been offered employment by a Successor Employer to commence promptly following your termination by the Company, whether you accept the position or not. A “Successor Employer” is any entity that assumes operations or functions formerly carried out by the Company (such as the buyer of a facility or any entity to which a Company operations or function has been outsourced), any affiliate of the Company, or any entity making the job offer at the request of the Company (such as a joint venture of which the Company or an affiliate is a member).

1.3 The Company has the right to cancel or reschedule your layoff or the reduction-in-force before you terminate

employment. You will not be eligible for severance benefits under this Plan if your layoff or the reduction-in-force is canceled.

1.4 If the Company is not treating you as a common-law employee, as conclusively evidenced by its issuance of an IRS

Form 1099-MISC to you, you are not eligible for the Plan, even if a court or a governmental agency rules that you are a common-law employee of the Company.

1.5 You are not entitled to benefits under this Plan unless you satisfy all transition assistance requests of the Company to the Company’s satisfaction, such as aiding in the location of files or preparing proper records. Those individuals selected for separation who are given notice must continue to work during the notice period in order to receive severance benefits hereunder.

2.1 Employees who satisfy the requirements described in section 1 above will be eligible for severance pay in accordance

with the approved severance pay schedule in effect at the time of separation. The following definitions apply for purposes of determining the severance benefits:

2.1.1 “Years of Service” means your full years of employment with the Company and its affiliates in your most recent

period of employment. Pro-rated benefits will not be paid for any fractional Year of Service.

2.1.2 “Week of Pay” means your base weekly rate of pay plus applicable shift premium unless the Company decides otherwise, excluding lead pay, overtime, bonuses, commissions, premium pay, employee benefits, expense reimbursements, and similar amounts. If you are paid by the hour, your base weekly rate of pay is your regular hourly rate multiplied by your scheduled straight-time hours per week.

2.1.3 Your Years of Service and Weeks of Pay will be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole and exclusive

judgment, as of the date benefits become payable.

2.2 Severance Benefit Schedule for Regular Full-Time Employees . The amount of severance pay for regular full-time employees generally will be determined by the severance pay schedules set forth below. These schedules are a guideline only, and in the discretion of the Company, may be modified, amended or eliminated. Any such change shall be made by the Chief Administrative Officer. The amount of severance pay may be reduced as described in section 2.4 below.

2.2.1 Basic Severance Benefit .

Years of Service Weeks of Pay

Up to one year 0 weeks 1.0 – 4.99 years 1 week 5.0 – 9.99 years 2 weeks 10.0 – 14.99 years 3 weeks 15.0 years or more 4 weeks

2.2.2 Enhanced Severance Benefit . You will receive an Enhanced Severance Benefits in addition to the Basic Severance Benefit IF you irrevocably execute the Release form prescribed by the Plan Administrator and file it with the person, and within the time period, the Plan Administrator prescribes. The Enhanced Severance Benefit will be determined in accordance with the following schedule:

The period of continued coverage shall run consecutively from the date medical coverage otherwise would cease due to the employee’s termination. Continued medical coverage under this section shall run concurrently with any COBRA period of continued medical coverage elected by the employee and any covered dependents. To the extent allowed by the group medical plan, an employee may drop one or more dependents from medical coverage or enroll in a less expensive coverage option during the above period of Company-paid continued medical coverage, but the Company will not be obligated to pay any additional cost of the employee adding covered dependents or enrolling in a more expensive coverage adoption during that period; the employee must bear any such additional cost.

payable, the benefits under this Plan will be reduced accordingly or, alternatively, benefits previously paid under this Plan will be treated as having been paid to satisfy such other benefit obligations. In either case, the Plan Administrator will determine how to apply this provision, and may override other provisions in this Plan in doing so.

2.5 Payment . Your severance pay will be paid in a cash lump sum. All payments shall be net of amounts withheld by the

Company to fulfill any federal, state or local withholding requirement. In the event you should die before receiving all your severance payments, any remaining severance benefits will be payable to your estate.

month of continued coverage shall run from the date dental coverage otherwise would cease due to the employee’s termination. Continued dental coverage under this section shall run concurrently with any COBRA period of continued dental coverage elected by the employee and any covered dependents. To the extent allowed by the group dental plan, an employee may drop one or more dependents from dental coverage or enroll in a less expensive coverage option during the period of Company-paid continued dental coverage, but the employee must bear any additional cost for adding dependents or enrolling in a more expensive coverage option during that period.

2.6.3 Group Vision Coverage . The Company will pay the cost to continue the individual or family vision coverage in effect under a Company-maintained plan for the employee as of his or her termination of employment date for a period of one month. This month of continued coverage shall run from the date vision coverage otherwise would cease due to the employee’s termination. Continued vision coverage under this section shall run concurrently with any COBRA period of continued vision coverage elected by the employee and any covered dependents. To the extent allowed by the group vision plan, an employee may drop one or more dependents from vision coverage or enroll in a less expensive coverage option during the period of Company-paid continued vision coverage, but the employee must bear any additional cost for adding dependents or enrolling in a more expensive coverage option during that period.

2.7 Reemployment or New Employment.

2.7.1 If you are reemployed by the Company, an affiliate, or a Successor Employer while benefits are still payable

under the Plan, all such benefits will cease, except as otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator, in its sole and exclusive judgment.

2.7.2 In addition, your benefits will not be paid for pay periods at the beginning of which you are an employee, officer, director, or consultant with respect to another company, or are self-employed, except to the extent otherwise authorized in writing by the Plan Administrator for good cause, as it determines in its sole and exclusive judgment. You must furnish a written declaration of your employment status before each payment due under this Plan is paid, using the form prescribed by the Plan Administrator. You must promptly repay benefits you receive while you are ineligible due to reemployment. If you fail to do so, the amount you owe may be withheld from future Plan benefits. By accepting benefits under the Plan, you agree to furnish copies of your federal income tax returns with all attachments to the Plan Administrator upon request, for purposes of confirming employment status.

2.7.3 The Fairchild Bridging of Service Policy will apply to any separated employee who is rehired with regard to date of hire for purposes of seniority and length of service. Length of services, related to specific benefit plans will be governed by the rules of the plans. If the specific benefit plan does not address length of service, the terms of this Plan shall apply. If rehired within one year of separation, vacation accrual will begin at zero, with the accrual rate determined according to the Company’s policy taking into consideration your prior years of service.

2.7.4 If an individual has separated his/her employment with Fairchild Semiconductor under the provisions if Policy 902-B (Voluntary Layoff) and subsequently is re-employed, he/she will not receive credit for prior Fairchild Semiconductor service upon his/her re-hire. Therefore, all current and future employee benefits, based upon service time, will be calculated from the date of re-hire.

2.8 Discontinuance of Severance Benefits . The Company shall revoke and/or cease severance payments under this Plan if it

determines, in its sole discretion, that an employee has breached any obligation owed to the Company or engaged in any activity injurious to the Company.

2.9 Voluntary Severance Program . A voluntary severance program is optional and up to the discretion of the business group, subject to the approval of the Company. If a voluntary program is chosen, all aspects of the involuntary severance policy apply, except the provisions above in section 2.7. In addition, there may be additional severance pay paid at time of separation in such amount or amounts as the company determines in its sole and exclusive judgment. Rehire of employees who separate under a voluntary severance program is not contemplated. However, if you have accepted a voluntary severance and are later rehired, you must repay a prorated portion of your severance benefit. Proration will be based upon the length of time separated from the Company. Furthermore, if you are subsequently re-employed you will not receive credit for prior Fairchild Semiconductor service upon your re-hire. Therefore, all current and future employee benefits, based upon service time, will be calculated from the date of your re-hire.

3.1 The Plan Administrator is responsible for the general administration and management of the Plan and shall have all

powers and duties necessary to fulfill its responsibilities, including, but not limited to, the discretion to interpret and apply the Plan and to determine all questions relating to eligibility for benefits. The Plan Administrator

and all Plan fiduciaries shall have the discretion to interpret or construe ambiguous, unclear, or implied (but omitted) terms in any fashion they deem to be appropriate in their sole and exclusive judgment, and to make any findings of fact needed in the administration of the Plan. The validity of any such interpretation, construction, decision, or finding of fact shall not be given de novo review if challenged in court, by arbitration, or in any other forum, and shall be upheld unless clearly arbitrary or capricious. The Company may delegate to the Chief Administrative Officer or any other individual responsibility for the administration of the Plan, and for making any interpretation of or implementing any change in Plan provisions which the Company is authorized to make hereunder. Benefits are provided through direct payments by the Company from its general assets.

3.2 All actions taken and all determinations made in good faith by the Plan Administrator or by Plan fiduciaries will be final and binding on all persons claiming any interest in or under the Plan. To the extent the Plan Administrator or any Plan fiduciary has been granted discretionary authority under the plan, the Plan, the Plan Administrator’s or Plan fiduciary’s prior exercise of such authority shall not obligate it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter.

3.3 If, due to errors in drafting, any Plan provision does not accurately reflect its intended meaning, as demonstrated by consistent interpretations or other evidence of intent, or as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole and exclusive judgment, the provision shall be considered ambiguous and shall be interpreted by the Plan Administrator and all Plan fiduciaries in a fashion consistent with its intent, as determined in the sole and exclusive judgment of the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall amend the Plan retroactively to cure any such ambiguity.

3.4 This section may not be invoked by any person to require the Plan to be interpreted in a manner inconsistent with its

interpretation by the Plan Administrator or other Plan fiduciaries.

4.1 The company, acting through its chief executive officer, has the right, in its nonfiduciary settlor capacity, to amend the Plan or to terminate it at any time, prospectively or retroactively, for any reason, without notice and even if currently payable benefits are reduced or eliminated. The Plan Administrator also has the right to amend the Plan, as elsewhere provided in the Plan. No person has any vested right to benefits under this Plan.

5. GENERAL RULES

6. CLAIMS PROCEDURE

9

5.1 No Employment Rights. The adoption of the Plan is not a contract between the Company and any employee, nor does it give any employee any right to continue employment with the Company, or interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any employee. Nothing contained in this Plan shall give any employee or beneficiary any right, title or interest in any property of the Company.

5.2 No Assignment. Your rights under this Plan cannot be assigned, alienated, encumbered, or otherwise transferred.

5.3 Unfunded Plan. The Company will make all payments under the Plan, and pay all expenses of the Plan, from its general

Federal law and the laws of the State of Maine.

6.1 Normally, you do not need to present a formal claim to receive benefits payable under the Plan.

6.2 If you believe that benefits are being denied improperly, that the Plan is not being operated property, that fiduciaries of the Plan have breached their duties, or that the your legal rights are being violated with respect to the Plan, you must file a formal claim with the Plan Administrator. This requirement applies to all claims that you have with respect to the Plan, including claims against fiduciaries and former fiduciaries, except to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, in its sole and exclusive judgment, that it does not have the power to grant all relief reasonably being sought.

6.3 A formal claim must be filed within 90 days after the date you first knew or should have known of the facts upon which

the claim is based, unless the Plan Administrator in writing consents otherwise. The Plan Administrator shall provide you, upon request, with a copy of the claims procedures.

6.4 The Plan Administrator has adopted procedures for considering claims, which it may amend from time to time, as it sees fit. These procedures shall comply with all applicable legal requirements. These procedures may provide that final and binding arbitration, subject to the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association, shall be the ultimate means of contesting a denied claim (even if the Plan

Page 68: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

10

Administrator or its delegates have failed to follow these prescribed procedures with respect to claims). The right to receive benefits under this Plan is contingent on a Claimant using the prescribed claims and arbitration procedures to resolve any claim. Therefore, if you (or your successors) seek to resolve any claim by any means other than the prescribed claims and arbitration provisions, you must repay all benefits received under the Plan and shall not be entitled to any further Plan benefits.

6.4.1 Initial Claims. All claims shall be presented to the Plan Administrator in writing. Within 90 days after receiving the claim, claims official appointed by the Plan Administrator shall consider the claim and issue his or her determination thereon in writing. The claims official may extend the determination period for up to an additional 90 days by giving the Claimant written notice. The initial claim determination period can be extended further with the consent of the Claimant. Any claims that the Claimant does not pursue in good faith through the initial claims stage shall be treated as having been irrevocably waived. If the Claimant can establish that the claims official has failed to respond to the claim in a timely manner, the Claimant may treat the claim as having been denied by the claims official.

6.4.2 Claims Decisions. If the claim is granted, the benefits or relief the Claimant seeks shall be provided. If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the claims official shall, within 90 days (or a longer period, as described above), provide the Claimant with written notice of the denial, setting forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant: (1) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (2) specific references to the provisions on which the denial is based; (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, together with an explanation of why the material or information is necessary; and (4) an explanation of the procedures for appealing denied claims.

The Claimant (or his or her duly authorized representative) may review pertinent documents in connection with the appeals proceeding, and may present issues and comments in writing. The Claimant may only present evidence and theories during the appeal that the Claimant presented during the initial claims stage, except for information the claims official

7. STATEMENT OF ERISA RIGHTS

A participant in this Plan is entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). ERISA provides that all plan participants shall be entitled to:

In addition to creating rights for plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate the plan, called “fiduciaries” of the plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including the employer or any other person, may fire an employee or otherwise discriminate against an employee in any way to prevent the employee from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising rights under ERISA. If a claim for a welfare benefit is denied in whole or in part the employee must receive a written

11

may have requested the Claimant to provide to perfect the claim. Any claims that the Claimant does not pursue in good faith through the appeals stage shall be treated as having been irrevocably waived.

6.4.4 Appeals Decisions. The decision by the appeal official shall be made not later than 60 days after the written appeal is received by the Plan Administrator, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after the appeal was filed, unless the Claimant agrees to a further extension of time. The appeals decisions shall be in writing, shall be set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and shall include specific reasons for the decision, as well as specific references to the provisions on which the decision is based, if applicable. If a Claimant does not receive the appeals decision by the date it is due, the Claimant may deem his or her appeal to have been denied.

6.4.5 Procedures. The Plan Administrator shall adopt procedures by which initial claims shall be considered and

appeals shall be resolved; different procedures may be established for different claims. All procedures shall be designed to afford a Claimant full and fair consideration of his or her claim.

• Examine, without charge, at the plan administrator’s office, all plan documents, and copies of all documents filed by the plan with

the U.S. Department of Labor, such as detailed annual reports and plan descriptions.

• Obtain copies of plan documents and other plan information upon written request to the plan administrator. The plan administrator

may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

• Receive a summary of the plan’s annual financial report if the plan covers 100 or more people. The plan administrator is required

by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.

Page 70: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

explanation of the reason for the denial. The employee has the right to have the plan review and reconsider the claim. Under ERISA, there are steps an employee can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if an employee requests materials from the plan and does not receive them within 30 days, the employee may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the plan administrator to provide the materials and pay the employee up to $110 a day until the employee receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the administrator. If the employee has a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, the employee may file suit in a state or federal court. If an employee is discriminated against for asserting statutory rights, the employee may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If an employee is successful the court may order the person sued to pay these costs and fees. If the employee loses, the court may order the employee to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds the claim is frivolous. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, you should contact the nearest office of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. If there are any questions about this statement or about rights under ERISA, contact the nearest Area Office of the U.S. Labor-Management Services Administration, Department of Labor.

ENHANCED FAIRCHILD INCENTIVE PLAN (As Amended and Restated Effective April 1, 2009)

The Enhanced Fairchild Incentive Plan (the “Plan” or “Enhanced Plan”) is designed to help retain eligible management employees and reward them for contributing to the success and profitability of the Company. These objectives are accomplished by making incentive awards under the Plan and providing Participants with a proprietary interest in the growth and performance of the Company.

The Plan is a non-ERISA cash bonus plan providing enhanced cash awards payable on an annual basis to a select group of eligible employees based on measures of business performance for that award period. The Enhanced Plan also contains a deferral feature that enables certain Participants to elect to defer the payment of all or any portion of their award. The Deferral Plan provides an opportunity for a limited number of management employees to defer receipt of their awards under the Plan until termination of their employment or other distributable event. That deferral feature of the Enhanced Plan is primarily set forth in Article 8 below, is an unfunded plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, and hence is substantially exempt from ERISA. The two plans set forth in this document and amended hereafter also may be referred to respectively by the acronym EFIP and DIP. The Deferral Plan is hereby frozen effective as of December 27, 2004. It is intended that the EFIP qualify as a plan of short-term deferrals and that the frozen DIP be grandfathered so that neither Plan is subject to Code Section 409A.

Whenever used in the Plan, unless otherwise indicated, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

1. Objective and Structure

2. Definitions

Award: The amount, if any, to be paid to a Plan Participant for a particular Measurement Period.

Company:

(i) Threshold - The minimum acceptable level of performance for which an Award may be earned on a particular Performance Goal; achieving 50% or more of the Target level of performance,

(ii) Target - Achieving 100% of the Target level of performance.

(iii) Stretch - Achieving more than 100% of the Target level of performance.

Qualified Earnings:

The measure of compensation used to determine benefit amounts under this Plan. Qualified Earnings generally consist of certain amounts paid to the Participant by the Company for services rendered during the Measurement Period as an Employee of the Company. For purposes of this Plan, Qualified Earnings shall include base compensation, but shall exclude all bonuses (including within this exclusion, without limitation, sign-on bonuses, relocation bonuses, retention bonuses, Key Technologist Incentive Awards, awards under any other incentive plan in which the Employee is permitted to participate simultaneously with participation in this Plan, and any other amount payable in the nature of a bonus), shift differentials, fringe benefits and extraordinary items. Overtime payments on the Company’s United States payroll shall be included in Qualified Earnings, but overtime payments on any foreign payroll shall be excluded. The Committee has the authority and discretion to determine (i) to what extent the foregoing inclusions and

Page 78: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

The Plan was originally established effective on March 11, 1997, which was the closing date of the reorganization of the three Fairchild divisions of National Semiconductor Corporation (the Discrete, Logic and Memory divisions) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization between Sterling Holding Company, LLC and National Semiconductor Corporation, dated January 31, 1997. This amendment and complete restatement of the Plan is effective April 1, 2009 and applies to any Measurement Period which begins on or after that effective date.

A. Eligible Class . Only Employees in job code level 36XX or higher shall be eligible for EFIP. Within that eligible class, employees must be nominated by the General Manager or Executive Vice President in charge of the Employee’s business unit and then approved by the Chief Executive Officer, as a condition for participation in the Plan.

The nomination and approval process shall apply anew for each Measurement Period. Employees selected for participation for the next Measurement Period will be notified in written (hard copy or electronic) form. Participants will be notified of their Participation Level during their initial Measurement Period and will be notified of subsequent changes in their Participation Level as appropriate.

B. New Hires . Newly hired Employees who are approved for EFIP participation shall commence participation in the Plan effective as of the effective date set by the Chief Executive Officer when their participation was approved.

C. Promotions . Employees who instead participate in the Fairchild Incentive Plan (“FIP”) or any other Company bonus or incentive plan and are promoted or otherwise become eligible for EFIP participation during a Measurement Period shall be subject to the following rules.

1. If the Employee commences EFIP participation before becoming entitled to any award under any other Company bonus or incentive plan (for example, before the first semi-annual award date under FIP) for the same period, then that Employee shall be treated as an EFIP Participant for his or her entire period of employment as an Employee during that initial Measurement Period. Such Participant’s EFIP Award, if any, for that initial Measurement Period shall be based on the Participant’s Qualified Earnings for the entire Measurement Period.

exclusions must be altered to comply with local legal requirements in any particular foreign jurisdiction, and (ii) whether to include or exclude other items of compensation (such as, but not limited to, equalization pay for temporary relocation assignments) in determining Qualified Earnings for Employees in particular jobs or locations based on legal standards and customary practices applicable to that job or location.

Target Award:

The Award, expressed as a percentage of Qualified Earnings, that is earned by a Participant for achievement of the Target level of performance.

3. Effective Date

4. Eligibility for Plan Participation

2. If the Employee commences EFIP participation after becoming entitled to an award under any other Company bonus or incentive for the same period, then any EFIP Award to which that Participant becomes entitled for that initial Measurement Period shall be based on the Participant’s Qualified Earnings for only the period after the end of the other plan’s measurement period, so the Participant’s Qualified Earnings which were taken into account in making the award under such other plan shall not be counted towards any EFIP Award.

D. Ceasing Participation . A Participant who ceases to be eligible to continue participation in EFIP (whether due to a drop in job code level, a change in employment status, de-selection by the Chief Executive Officer or any other reason) before the last day of the Measurement Period shall immediately cease participation and will not be eligible for any EFIP Award for that Measurement Period. An individual must be both an Employee and a Participant on the last day of a Measurement Period to be eligible for any EFIP Award for that Measurement Period.

A. Participation Levels . Each Participant will be assigned a Participation Level Typically, the Participant’s job code level will constitute his or her Participation Level, but the General Manager or Executive Vice President in charge of the Participant’s business unit or other class of Participants may (with the approval of the Chief Executive Officer) assign one or more Participants to a different Participation Level (whether or not represented by a different job code level) for purposes solely of determining such Participant’s EFIP Award for a given Measurement Period. Any such assignment under this Plan of a Participant to a Participation Level that does not match their job code level shall not constitute a promotion, demotion, transfer or other change in the individual’s employment status or a change in their job code level for any other purpose.

B. Target Award Levels . One Target Award level, expressed as a percentage of Qualified Earnings, shall be assigned to one or more groups or individuals within each respective Participation Level, although typically a single Target Award level will be assigned to an entire Participation Level. The Participation Levels and corresponding Target Award levels shall be as listed from time to time on attached Schedule A, which is hereby incorporated as part of this Plan. However, a Participation Level consisting of one or just a few individuals specially assigned to it under this paragraph may be memorialized in a written notice to such individuals without also having to be listed on Schedule A.

C. Adjustments . In the event that a Participant incurs a change in Participation and/or Target Award level during a Measurement Period (whether due to promotion, demotion, special assignment under Section 5.A above or other reasons) his or her EFIP Award for that Measurement Period shall be based on the Participation Level and Target Award level in effect for that Participant as of the close of the Measurement Period, without regard to any other levels in which he or she participated during the Measurement Period, except as provided in Section 6.F below. If, however, the Participant changes to a position no longer covered by the Enhanced Plan for the remainder of a Measurement Period, his or her award for the Measurement Period shall be determined solely under whatever other bonus or incentive plan, if any, the individual then enters, and no Award will be payable to that individual under this Plan.

5. Participation and Target Award Levels

Page 80: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

A. Factors . A Participant’s EFIP Award (if any) is measured by four factors. First, the Participation Level determines what corresponding Target Award level the Participant is eligible for. Second, the Target Award level is the percentage of Qualified Earnings that will be used as one of two products to calculate any EFIP Award. Third, the degree to which the Company’s actual financial performance for the Measurement Period compares to the Company’s Performance Goal for that Period produces the other percentage used to calculate EFIP Awards up to the Target level. Fourth, if Company financial performance exceeds the Target level of the Performance Goal, then any discretionary EFIP Award in excess of the Target Award level shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.D below.

B. Performance Goal . Before each Measurement Period, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall, subject to Board approval, set the Company’s financial Performance Goal for that Period. The Performance Goal shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or more of the following measures: earnings per share (EPS), revenues, net profit after tax, gross profit, operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), various measures of cash flow, asset quality, stock price performance, unit volume, return on equity, change in working capital, return on capital or shareholder return. The Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Performance Goal to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a Measurement Period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and the effect of any discontinued operations reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, and (v) any extraordinary non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year. That Performance Goal serves as the target level of performance for the Measurement Period.

C. Calculation of Awards . Achievement of 50% to 100% of that Performance Goal target typically will produce, but does not guarantee, an EFIP Award equal to the same percentage of the Participant’s Target Award level as the Company’s financial performance achieved relative to its EBIT target for the Measurement Period ( i.e. , multiply the Performance Goal achievement percentage by the Target Award level percentage to produce the percentage of Qualified Earnings payable as the EFIP Award). Achievement of less than 50% of the Performance Goal typically will produce no EFIP Award for the Measurement Period because the minimum Threshold performance level was not attained. Achievement of more than 100% of the Performance Goal typically, will produce, but does not guarantee, an EFIP Award of at least 100% of the Participant’s Target Award level, but any amount in excess of a 100% award shall be determined as provided in Section 6.D. below. The Committee may, in its discretion from time to time, round the Performance Goal achievement percentage to the nearest whole percent before calculating the EFIP Awards for any Measurement Period.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Company has complete discretion whether or not EFIP Awards will be paid at, all, or at the typical level, for a given Measurement Period, based on any factors that officer deems relevant, which may include the Company’s financial position, business objectives and how the Company’s financial performance for that Measurement Period was achieved ( i.e. , by revenue growth or by cost reduction).

6. Calculation and Payment of Awards

Page 81: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

D. Stretch Awards . When performance exceeds 100% of the Target Performance Goal for a Measurement Period, there is no guarantee that any Award which may be paid for that Measurement Period will exceed the 100% Target performance award level. Any additional Award for a Stretch level of performance shall be determined in accordance with this Section 6.D.

If the Company’s actual financial performance exceeds 100% of the Target Performance Goal for a given Measurement Period, the Chief Executive Officer shall determine, in its sole discretion, the amount of any pool of money that may be made available for any EFIP Awards in excess of the 100% Target Award level for that Measurement Period. The Chief Executive Officer also shall allocate that pool, within its sole discretion, among the Company’s various business units or other classes of Participants. The General Manager or Executive Vice President responsible for managing a particular business unit shall then have complete discretion to allocate the pool assigned to that business unit or class among certain of the EFIP Participants employed within the business unit or class as a supplemental Award beyond the 100% Target Award level, using such performance criteria as that manager deems appropriate from time to time for that business unit or class and the individual Participants therein. The purpose of these Stretch Awards is to provide a special bonus for a select group of one or more extraordinary contributors to that business unit’s success.

E. Extraordinary Events . Under exceptional circumstances, revisions to Performance Goals may be made by the Chief Executive Officer during the Measurement Period if the business environment or key planning assumptions change significantly from conditions assumed or existing at the start of the Measurement Period. In addition, Performance Goals, pool allocations, and Awards may be adjusted in the event there has been an Extraordinary Occurrence during the Measurement Period that

Adjustments under the preceding sentence will be made solely for the purpose of neutralizing the effect of the Extraordinary Occurrence. All determinations made by the Chief Executive Officer under this Section 6.E shall be subject to Board approval.

F. Participant Moves . In the event that a Participant changes business units during the Plan Period, the Participant’s goals will be changed, if necessary, to reflect that of the new business unit. The Participant’s Award, if any, may then be adjusted or prorated by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to reflect such considerations as:

- 7 -

(i) affects one or more Performance Goals;

(ii) unreasonably distorts Award calculations; or

(iii) results in undue benefit or detriment to the Plan Participants.

(i) the performance achieved by and Targets assigned to each business unit the Participant belonged to during the Plan Period,

Page 82: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

G. Payment . Awards, if any, will generally be paid in cash in a single sum on or about each Award Date for which an Award is declared, subject to deferral rights under Article 8 below. However, an Award payment may be divided into multiple partial payments, to be completed within a reasonable time after the Award Date, in order to accommodate different three periods needed for determining different portions of the Award or for any other reason deemed appropriate by the Committee or the Chief Executive Officer. A Participant on approved leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid) shall be paid his or her Award under the Plan at the same time and manner as an active Employee, with no deferral of the Award pending return from the leave, but a Participant who is inactive for reasons other than approved leave of absence or disability shall not be entitled to receive an Award unless and until he or she returns to active employment as an Employee.

Effective on and after January 1, 2005, payment of EFIP Awards shall be made by the Award Date so as to constitute a short-term deferral for purposes of Code Section 409A except to the extent such later payment is made as soon as reasonably practicable and the delay is due to circumstances making timely payment administratively impracticable for reasons which were not foreseeable, in accordance with the short-term deferral regulations under Code Section 409A.

Any Participant whose employment as an Employee terminates for any reason before the close of a Measurement Period, and who remains a non Employee as of the last day of that Period, shall forfeit eligibility for any EFIP Award for that Measurement Period.

A. Plan . This separate plan shall be known as the Fairchild Deferred Incentive Plan (DIP). It shall consist of this Article 8 and such defined terms and other provisions of the Enhanced Fairchild Incentive Plan (“EFIP”) document as are necessary to understand and implement the operation and administration of this Deferral Plan, which terms and provisions are incorporated by this reference.

B. Timing . Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and regulations, an eligible Participant may elect to make an irrevocable election to defer receipt of all or any portion of any Award in accordance with, this Article 8. Such Notice of Deferral Election must be completed at least thirty (30) days before the end of the Measurement Period. Notices of Deferral Election are not self renewing and must be completed for each Measurement Period if deferral is desired for the applicable Measurement Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Measurement Period that begins on or after December 27, 2004, no Participant deferral elections shall be allowed.

(ii) the length of time the Participant spent in each business unit during the Plan Period; and

(iii) any other facts and circumstances as the Committee deems relevant or appropriate in that particular case.

7. Termination of Employment

8. Deferral of Awards (DIP)

Page 83: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

C. Eligibility . Only EFIP Participants on the Company’s United States payroll and in job code level 39xx or higher shall be eligible to defer an Award under this Article. Thus, this Article 8 shall apply only to a select group of management or highly compensated U.S. employees and shall constitute a separate, unfunded plan for them.

D. Deferral Accounts . For each eligible EFIP Participant who elects a deferral, the Committee will establish and maintain book entry accounts which will reflect the deferred Award and any deemed gains or losses credited to the Participant’s account. Each Participant with a deferral account under this Article shall have an unsecured claim for benefits from the Company, in accordance with Section 8.J below.

E. Investment Return . Each Participant’s deferral account shall, be credited with deemed gains or losses on each Award Date with a rate of return equal to the net rate of return the account would have earned, had it been invested in accordance with the Participant’s investment directions. Participants shall be offered the opportunity to choose how they would want their DIP account to be invested using the investment fund options available under the Company’s primary tax-qualified 401(k) plan covering the Company’s U.S. salaried management employees. The Committee shall determine how often Participants may change their investment direction and set any other terms and conditions for Participant investment directions. While the Participant’s investment directions and this Section 8.E will determine the rate of gain/loss to be credited to that Participant’s deferral account from time to time, the account shall be a bookkeeping account and nothing in this Plan shall require that any assets be set aside for this purpose or actually be invested in accordance with any Participant’s investment direction. The Committee may designate a default investment fund (which shall be the same fund used as the default fund under the applicable 401(k) plan unless otherwise designated by the Committee) to be used to determine credited gains or losses to the extent a Participant fails to make a timely or complete investment direction.

F. Distribution . A Participant will become entitled to receive any deferred Award, plus credited gains or losses thereon, as of the earlier of the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason (including, but not limited to, retirement, Disability, sale of the Participant’s business unit, or death) or a date pre-selected more than twelve (12) months in advance by the Participant. The account balance will be paid in a lump sum in the month following the earlier of the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason or the pre-selected date. Payments shall be made in the month following the Participant’s termination of employment or on the pre-selected payment date, if applicable. If a Participant dies before distribution has been made, the unpaid balance will be paid in a lump sum in the month following the Participant’s death.

G. Hardship . Payment of part or all of any deferred Awards may be accelerated in the case of severe hardship, which shall mean an emergency or unexpected situation in the Participant’s financial affairs, including, but not limited to, illness or accident involving the Participant or any of the Participant’s dependents. All payments in case of hardship must be specifically approved by the Committee.

H. Loans . No Participant may borrow against his or her DIP account.

I. Beneficiaries . Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and regulations, the DIP Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive distribution from the Participant’s deferral account in the event of the Participant’s death. The Participant’s beneficiary may be changed without the consent of any prior beneficiary, except as follows: if the Participant is married at the time of designation, the Participant’s spouse must consent to the beneficiary designation and the Participant’s spouse must consent to any subsequent change in beneficiary. If no beneficiary is chosen or the beneficiary does not survive the Participant, the Award will be paid in accordance with Section 7.B. of the EFIP or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation.

J. Status of Plan . This Deferral Plan constitutes an unfunded Plan of deferred compensation. As such, any amounts payable hereunder will be paid out of the general corporate assets of the Company and shall not be transferred into a trust or otherwise set aside, unless such trust is a grantor trust that is reachable by Company creditors in the event of Company insolvency. All accounts under the Plan will be for bookkeeping purposes only and shall not represent a claim against specific assets of the Company. The Participant will be considered a general creditor of the Company and the obligation of the Company is purely contractual and shall not be funded or secured in any way.

Accounts attributable to Awards deferred for Measurement Periods ending on or before December 27, 2004 are fully vested and intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, so that statute does not apply to this Deferral Plan. However in the event that statute does apply in any respect and at any time to this Plan, the Plan shall be construed and administered to comply with said Section 409A insofar as necessary to avoid violating that law.

K. Freeze of DIP . Notwithstanding any provision of this Deferral Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall be frozen as of December 27, 2004. No deferrals shall be credited to any Participant’s Account from Awards attributable to Measurement Periods that end after December 27, 2004. Accounts that have balances as of December 27, 2004 shall continue to be maintained, administered and distributed in accordance with this Deferral Plan, but no new DIP accounts shall be established after that date.

The Committee shall have the right and power to exercise the following duties, in its sole discretion:

- 10 -

9. Interpretations and Rule-Making

(i) interpret the provisions of the Plan, and resolve questions thereunder, which interpretations and resolutions shall be final and

conclusive;

(ii) adopt such rules and regulations with regard to the administration of the Plan as it deems necessary in its discretion; and

Page 85: FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL INCedg1.precisionir.com/irwebsites/fairchildsemi/10-Q08-07... · 2010. 5. 4. · FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUB SIDIARIES

The Chief Executive Officer similarly shall have the right, power and discretion to exercise duties (i) and (ii) above with respect to such matters as are within that officer’s decision-making authority under the Plan.

The Committee may delegate any of its rights and duties under this Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company, or to an outside service provider, but Section 11.F. below shall not apply to any such outside service provider.

The Committee, with the approval of the Chief Executive Officer, may:

Any amendment or termination of the Plan shall be done by written action of the Committee, approved by a majority of its members, but the Plan also may be contractually assigned by the Company to, or assumed by, any successor corporation without the need for action under this Article 10.

A. Except through beneficiary designations, no right or interest in the Plan is transferable or assignable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

B. Participation in this Plan does not guarantee any right to continued employment, and Company management reserves the right to dismiss Participants for any reason whatsoever. Participation in the Enhanced Plan or the Deferral Plan for any Measurement Period does not guarantee the Participant the right to participation in either or both such Plans for any subsequent Measurement Period.

C. The Company shall deduct from Awards under this Plan any taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld with respect to Award payments, but Awards deferred under Article 8 shall be considered pre-tax to the extent allowed by applicable law. Employment taxes, such as FICA and FUTA, shall be deducted from Participants= deferred accounts as of the close of each taxable year as and to the extent required by applicable law and regulations.

- 11 -

(iii) generally take all action to administer the operation of the Plan.

10. Declaration of Incentives, Amendment or Discontinuance

(i) determine, on or before an Award Date, not to make Awards, and to modify the amount of any Award, to any or all

Participants for the related Measurement Period;

(ii) make any written modification or amendment to the Plan for any or all Participants; or

(iii) discontinue the Plan for any or all Participants.

11. Miscellaneous

D. Maintenance of financial information relevant to measuring performance during the Measurement Period will be the responsibility of FCS’s Chief Financial Officer, or that officer’s designee.

E. The provisions of the Plan shall not limit, or restrict the right or power of the Company’s Board of Directors to adopt such other plans or programs, or to make salary, bonus, incentive, or other payments, with respect to compensation of officers or Employees, as in its sole judgment it may deem proper.

F. No member of the Committee or the Company’s Board of Directors, nor the Chief Executive Officer, nor any other officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company, shall have any liability to any person, firm, or corporation board on or arising out of this Plan.

G. This Program shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maine.
