There can be no assurance that (a) ON Semiconductor will receive the requisite consents to any such credit agreement amendments, (b) if such credit agreement amendments become effective, ON Semiconductor will seek to consummate any such amendment to its bond indebtedness, or (c) any such amendment to its bond indebtedness will be consummated.
