Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
(formerly known as the Corporate Ethics Policy)

Fairchild Semiconductor is committed to the highest standards of integrity in the
ways we conduct our business and do our jobs. We believe that ethical behavior is
essential to sustained success in our businesses and organizations. We believe that
ethical behavior will lead to increased trust, greater teamwork, improved processes
and better decisions.
We are all responsible for maintaining the companys commitment to integrity through
our compliance with laws, regulations and company policies. We are also responsible
for raising any compliance or ethical issues that may undermine the companys
integrity.
This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (which we refer to as the Code) is your
guide to carrying out these responsibilities. All directors, executive officers and
employees should familiarize themselves with the Code, and should know how to access
the Code for future reference. If you are a manager or organization leader, you have
a special responsibility for understanding the Code and helping to implement it
within your team or organization.
1. Scope and Application of the Code.
The Code applies across Fairchild Semiconductor, to all directors, executive
officers and employees, in all businesses and organizations and in all countries and
regions. You are required to understand and comply with the Code. In addition, we
expect you to encourage third parties (such as consultants, contractors,
representatives and suppliers representing Fairchild Semiconductor) to follow the
Code as well as all other applicable Fairchild policies to the extent possible.
If a local law conflicts with the Code, you must comply with the law. If a local
custom or practice conflicts with the Code, you must comply with the Code as
implemented at your site. Site compliance officers are responsible for implementing
the Code with due regard and respect for the customs and practices that apply in
their locations.
Any waiver of the Code for directors or executive officers may be made only by the
board of directors or a board committee and must be promptly disclosed to
stockholders.
The Code is not intended to be exhaustive. The Code covers most subjects you will
encounter in your work, but you may encounter situations that are not covered. If you
do, try and find a part of the Code that is similar and apply it. Some of the
policies and guidelines in the Code are general in nature, and some are covered in
more detail by specific policies and guidelines issued by our Human Resources,
Finance, Purchasing and other departments. Please feel free to contact the office of
the General Counsel, your site compliance officer or your Human Resources business
partner if any questions arise.
2. Enforcement; Your Obligation to Report Violations.
Fairchild Semiconductor will vigorously enforce the Code. Violations of the Code
will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of service or
employment.
You must promptly report conduct that may constitute a violation of the Code. This
report may be made to the office of the General Counsel (call 207-775-8081 or e-mail
corporate.legal@fairchildsemi.com), your supervisor, your site compliance officer or
your Human Resources business partner.

If you are not comfortable raising a possible violation openly, you must call
Alertline, at 888-475-4621. Alertline is the independent hotline service retained by
the company to handle any compliance or ethics complaint. Alertline is not staffed by
company employees, and calls to Alertline can be handled anonymously and
