| 5 | OPINION |
Within the limitations set out in paragraph 2, based on the factual research described in paragraph 3 and the assumptions made in paragraph 4, and subject to the qualifications in paragraph 6 and any matters not disclosed to us in the context of this opinion, we are of the following opinion:
| 2025 NXP Semiconductors N.V. and NXP B.V. – Legal Opinion – Shelf Registration | 4 / 15 |
| (a) | Each Company has been incorporated and exists as a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) or, in case of the Guarantor, a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap). |
| (b) |
| (i) | Each Company has the corporate power to enter into and perform the Indenture and, in the case of the Guarantor, to enter into and perform the Guarantee, and, in the case of the Dutch Issuer, to issue and perform the Dutch Issuer Securities. |
| (ii) | Each Company has taken all necessary corporate action to authorise its entry into and performance of the Indenture and, in the case of the Guarantor, to enter into and perform the Guarantee, and, in the case of the Dutch Issuer, to issue and perform the Dutch Issuer Securities. |
| (iii) | Each Company has validly signed the Registration Statement. |
| (c) | Each Company’s entry into and performance of the Indenture, and, in the case of the Guarantor, its entry into and performance of the Guarantee, and, in the case of the Dutch Issuer, the issue and performance of the Dutch Issuer Securities do not violate Dutch law or its articles of association. |
| (d) | When issued, the Dutch Issuer Securities will have been validly issued. |
| (e) |
| (i) | The choice of New York Law as the governing law of the Indenture, including the Guarantee, and the Dutch Issuer Securities is recognised. |
| (ii) | Dutch law does not restrict the validity and binding effect on and enforceability against each Company of the Indenture and, in the case of the Guarantor, the Guarantee, and, in case of the Dutch Issuer, the Dutch Issuer Securities. |
| (f) |
| (i) | The validity and binding effect on and enforceability against the Dutch Issuer of the submission to the jurisdiction of the New York Court in the Indenture, including the Guarantee: |
| 2025 NXP Semiconductors N.V. and NXP B.V. – Legal Opinion – Shelf Registration | 5 / 15 |
| (A) | under Dutch private international law are likely governed by New York Law; and |
| (B) | are not restricted by Dutch law. |
| (ii) | A judgment in a civil or commercial matter rendered by a New York Court cannot be enforced in the Netherlands. However, if a person has obtained a final judgment without appeal in such a matter rendered by a New York Court which is enforceable in New York and files his claim with a Dutch court with jurisdiction, the Dutch court will generally recognise and give effect to the judgment insofar as it finds that (A) the jurisdiction of the court has been based on an internationally generally accepted ground, (B) proper legal procedures have been observed, (C) the judgment does not contravene Dutch public policy, and (D) the judgment is not irreconcilable with a judgment of a Dutch court or an earlier judgment of a foreign court that is capable of being recognised in the Netherlands. |
| 6 | QUALIFICATIONS |
This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:
| (a) | This opinion is subject to any limitations arising from (i) rules relating to Dutch Insolvencies, (ii) rules relating to foreign insolvency or composition or restructuring proceedings (including foreign Insolvency Proceedings), (iii) other rules regulating conflicts between rights of creditors, or (iv) resolution, intervention and other measures in relation to financial enterprises or their affiliated entities. |
| (b) | The recognition of New York Law as the governing law of the Indenture, including the Guarantee, and the Dutch Issuer Securities: |
| (i) | will not prejudice the provisions of the law of the European Union (where appropriate as implemented in the Netherlands) which cannot be derogated from by agreement if all elements relevant to the situation at the time when the Indenture, including the Guarantee, was entered into or the Dutch Issuer Securities were issued (other than the choice of New York Law as the governing law of the Indenture, including the Guarantee, or the Dutch Issuer Securities) are located in one or more Member States of the European Union; |
| (ii) |
| 2025 NXP Semiconductors N.V. and NXP B.V. – Legal Opinion – Shelf Registration | 6 / 15 |
| (A) | will not restrict the application of the overriding provisions of Dutch law; and |
| (B) | will not prevent effect being given to the overriding provisions of the law of a jurisdiction with which the situation has a close connection; |
(and for this purpose “overriding provisions” are provisions the respect for which is regarded as crucial by a jurisdiction for safeguarding its public interests to such an extent that they are applicable to any situation falling within their scope, irrespective of the law otherwise applicable to an agreement);
| (iii) | will not prevent the application of New York Law being refused if it is manifestly incompatible with Dutch public policy (ordre public); and |
| (iv) | will not prevent regard being had to the law of the jurisdiction in which performance takes place in relation to the manner of performance and the steps to be taken in the event of defective performance. |
| (c) | The binding effect and enforceability of the submission to the jurisdiction of the New York Court in the Indenture, including the Guarantee are subject to limited exceptions, including any exceptions applicable under the Brussels I-bis Regulation or the Lugano Convention. |
| (d) | Enforcement in the Netherlands of the Indenture, including the Guarantee, and the Dutch Issuer Securities is subject to Dutch rules of civil procedure. |
| (e) | The Sanction Act 1977 (Sanctiewet 1977) or international sanctions may affect whether (i) each Company’s entry into and performance of the Indenture, including the Guarantee, and the Dutch Issuer Securities violates Dutch law, and (ii) the Indenture, including the Guarantee, and the Dutch Issuer Securities are valid, binding and enforceable. |
| (f) | To the extent that Dutch law applies, any provision that the holder of a Dutch Issuer Security will be treated as its absolute owner may not be enforceable under all circumstances. |
| (g) | To the extent that Dutch law applies, title to a Dutch Issuer Security may not pass if (i) the Dutch Issuer Security is not delivered (geleverd) in accordance with Dutch law, (ii) the transferor does not have the power to pass on title (beschikkingsbevoegdheid) to the Dutch Issuer Security, or (iii) the transfer of title is not made pursuant to a valid title of transfer (geldige titel). |
| 2025 NXP Semiconductors N.V. and NXP B.V. – Legal Opinion – Shelf Registration | 7 / 15 |
| (h) |
| (i) | To the extent that the terms of the Dutch Issuer Securities constitute general conditions within the meaning of article 6:231 BW, a holder of a Dutch Issuer Security may nullify (vernietigen) a provision therein if (A) the Dutch Issuer has not offered the holder a reasonable opportunity to examine the terms and conditions, or (B) the provision, having regard to all relevant circumstances, is unreasonably onerous to the holder. A provision in general conditions as referred to in article 6:236 BW is deemed to be unreasonably onerous, irrespective of the circumstances. If the holder of a Dutch Issuer Security is a natural person not acting in the conduct of a profession or trade. |
| (ii) | To the extent that the terms of the Guarantee are general conditions within the meaning of article 6:231 BW, paragraph 6(h)(i) applies accordingly in relation to each beneficiary of the Guarantee. |
| (i) | If any Dutch Issuer Security has been signed on behalf of the Dutch Issuer (manually or in facsimile) by a person who on the signing date is, but ceases to be before the date of the Dutch Issuer Security and its authentication and issue, a duly authorised representative of the Dutch Issuer, enforcement of the Dutch Issuer Security in a Dutch court may require that the holder of the Dutch Issuer Security submit a copy of the Indenture. |
| (j) | Any trust to which the 1985 Convention on the Law applicable to Trusts and their Recognition (the “Trust Convention”) applies, will be recognised subject to the Trust Convention. Any trust to which the Trust Convention does not apply may not be recognised. |
| (k) | In any proceedings in a Dutch court for the enforcement of the Indenture, including the Guarantee, and the Dutch Issuer Securities, the court may mitigate amounts due in respect of litigation and collection costs. |
| (l) | If a legal act (rechtshandeling) performed by a Dutch legal entity (including (without limitation) an agreement pursuant to which it guarantees the performance of, or provides or agrees to provide security for, any of another person’s obligations and any other legal act having a similar effect) is not in the entity’s interest, the act may (i) exceed the entity’s corporate or other power, (ii) violate its articles of association, |
| 2025 NXP Semiconductors N.V. and NXP B.V. – Legal Opinion – Shelf Registration | 8 / 15 |
| and (iii) be nullified by it if the other party or parties to the act knew or should have known without investigation that the act is not in the entity’s interest. |
| (m) | To the extent Dutch law applies, a legal act (rechtshandeling) performed by a person (including an agreement pursuant to which it guarantees the performance of another person’s obligations, or provides or agrees to provide security for its or another person’s obligations and any other legal act having a similar effect) may be nullified by (i) any of its creditors, or (ii), in case of bankruptcy, its bankruptcy trustee, if (A) it performed the act without an obligation to do so (onverplicht), (B) the creditor concerned or, in case of its bankruptcy, any creditor was prejudiced as a consequence of the act, and (C) at the time the act was performed both it and (unless the act was for no consideration (om niet)) the party with or towards which it acted, knew or should have known that one or more of its creditors (existing or future) would be prejudiced. In addition, in the case of a person’s bankruptcy, its bankruptcy trustee may nullify that person’s performance of any due and payable obligation (opeisbare schuld) (including an obligation to provide security for its or another person’s obligations) if (X) the recipient knew that a request for bankruptcy had been filed, or (Y) the performance of the obligation was the result of consultation between it and the recipient with a view to give preference to the latter over the person’s creditors. |
| (n) |
| (i) | An extract from the Trade Register does not provide conclusive evidence that the facts set out in it are correct. However, under the 2007 Trade Register Act (Handelsregisterwet 2007), subject to limited exceptions, a legal entity or partnership cannot invoke the incorrectness or incompleteness of its Trade Register registration against third parties who were unaware of the incorrectness or incompleteness. |
| (ii) | A confirmation from the Central Insolvency Register does not provide conclusive evidence that an entity is not subject to a Dutch Insolvency or foreign Insolvency Proceedings (also because they are not all registered). |
| (o) | We do not express any opinion on: |
| (i) | any specific terms of any Dutch Issuer Security (other than any terms set out in the Indenture); |
| (ii) | tax matters; |
| 2025 NXP Semiconductors N.V. and NXP B.V. – Legal Opinion – Shelf Registration | 9 / 15 |
| (iii) | competition (including state aid) matters; |
| (iv) | financial assistance; |
| (v) | sanctions laws; |
| (vi) | in rem matters; and |
| (vii) | any laws that we, having exercised customary professional diligence, could not be reasonably expected to recognize as being applicable to the Registration, the Indenture, including the Guarantee, or the Dutch Issuer Securities to which this opinion relates. |
