LETTER OF INTENT
THIS LETTER OF INTENT is dated _______________ of August, 1991, by and between
NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION, a Delaware Corporation, having a principal
place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000-0000 (hereinafter "NSC") and THINK-O ELECTRIC COMPANY, a Japanese
corporation, having a principal place of business at 150 Kinoko, Ibara-City,
Okayama, 000 Xxxxx (hereinafter "TEC"). NSC and/or TEC may be referred to herein
as a "party" or the "parties" as the case may require.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, NSC and TEC have entered into preliminary discussions concerning
the creation of a business relationship between the parties; and
WHEREAS, NSC and TEC desire to record and memorialize the substance of
those discussions in order to construct a framework from which a final binding
agreement can be negotiated.
NOW, THEREFORE, in furtherance of the premises the parties hereto set
forth the following:
1. NSC shall purchase discrete semiconductor dice and/or wafers, and will
consider the purchase of other semiconductor materials and piece parts,
from TEC on a preferred supplier basis.
2. TEC shall supply such materials to NSC as a preferred customer with
special pricing and guaranteed production capacity.
3. Should TEC discrete semiconductors be successfully qualified by NSC and
should the parties agree on price, quality, delivery and other terms and
conditions of sale, then NSC shall agree to commence purchasing a minimum
of [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] wafers, or dice equivalent, per
month from TEC. Since the parties acknowledge that NSC
requirements for discrete semiconductors may increase during the
two year period following the signing of a final agreement
by the parties, TEC agrees that it shall, at NSC's request, make available
to NSC up to [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] discrete semiconductor wafers per
month. Depending upon TEC performance and semiconductor market
conditions, the parties agree that this schedule can be extended
and that the quantity of wafers to be delivered thereunder can be
increased up to [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] or more per
month.
4. The parties agree to cooperate and take all reasonable steps necessary to
resolve any problems that may arise with regard to performance, price,
quality or delivery.
5. The initial prices to NSC for TEC wafers shall be follows:
Bias
Combined Total Finished Resistor
Wafers/Month Diodes Zeners Trans. Trans. Trans.
------------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
[CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION]
Diode and zener prices do not include front bump or back metal. Transistor
prices do not include back metal, but shall sample probing. All prices
include production masks and incidental tooling expenses. NSC shall supply
mask masters. The listed prices are also based on yields of [CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION] percent for diodes and [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] percent for
transistors.
6. Initial deliveries by TEC shall be [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]after receipt
of order. Following deliveries will be based upon a [CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION] rolling forecast supplied by NSC and updated monthly.
7. The parties agree to review pricing annually.
8. This Letter of Intent shall not be a binding commitment upon either party,
but shall instead serve as a basis for good faith negotiations between NSC
and TEC leading to a final binding contract. The parties agree to strive
to execute such a contract not later than September 30, 1991.
9. The final contract shall be administered on behalf of TEC by Torex
Semiconductor LTD., TEC's international operations management company.
10. Neither party shall publicize or otherwise disclose the terms of this
relationship, this Letter of Intent, or the final agreement, without the
prior written approval of the other party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have had this Letter of Intent
executed by their respective authorized officers on the day and date first
written above.

- All wafers are tested at T85, 100 spots/wafer
- A minimum of [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] wafer yield to the BV, leakage,
Vbe portion of the specification for the target bin yield except when it
is determined by both parties that the HFE target will cause the BV
distribution to fall below the specification. An engineering plan to
improve the BV distribution for these high HFE devices will be developed
and reviewed in three periods. Along with the electrical yields in
general. Examples are as follows:
PRODUCT HFE RANK

05S - C1, C2
12R - X0, X0, X0
00X - X0, X0, X0
00X - B1, B2, C1
66R - B2, C1
74l - B1, B2
79L - A2, B1, B2, C1
- A minimum [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] lot average yield to the HFE bin with
no wafer in the lot having less than[CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] yield to the
HFE bin.
- For HFE bin targets where the HFE range is less than 2:1 or there is a
high HFE requirement, the lot average yield for these bins is a minimum
[CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] with no wafer in the lot yielding less than
[CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]. These bins will be identified on the test
programs.
- NSC and Torex agree to review these yields after a device has run for
three periods to see if a change to the yield accept limit is needed. The
target goal for the HFE bins is [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION].
DIODE YIELD ACCEPTANCE
----------------------
All wafers are tested at T85 as follows:
- 5 wafers/lot sampled; 100 spots/wafer
* If the yield is [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]%, the lot is shipped to Cebu
* If the 1 or more wafers have [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION], 5 more wafers in
the lot are tested
2nd group of 5 wafers sampled; 100 spots/wafer
* If all of these wafers [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION], the lot is
shipped to Cebu
* If one of more wafers yield [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION], the remaining
wafers in the lot are tested
Any wafer with yield [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] is scrapped at Think-O. Wafers with
yield between [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] can be shipped to Cebu as long as the total
number of wafers in this yield range does not exceed [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] of the
shipment. This is to be reviewed in 30 days from today with a target yield goal
of [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] or greater.
