WHEREAS, Seller wishes to sell such Supplies to Buyer; and,
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into an agreement covering the terms and

Supplies;
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF the promises, mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:
1. SUPPLIES TO BE FURNISHED
1.1 Seller shall furnish the Supplies set forth in Exhibit A to the
Buyer in the quantities and at the times required by the Buyer's
Purchase Orders and Releases and pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. Buyer's specific documents and procedures for issuing, and
Seller's procedures for accepting, Purchase Orders and Releases are set
forth in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2,
the sale of supplies or other goods manufactured utilizing wafer and die
stock procured by Seller from sources other than the stock furnished by
the Buyer is not governed by this Agreement.
2. PRICES AND PAYMENT
2.1 The firm, fixed prices for Supplies ordered in specified quantities
are set forth in Exhibit A. These prices represent the last transfer
price between Seller and Buyer, less the portion of the transfer price
that represents the cost of the Wafers inventoried for Buyer as
described in Article 9. These prices are in United States (U.S.) Dollars
and exclude all taxes, duties and other charges associated with the sale
of Supplies. The price shall be fixed according to the quantity of each
part number ordered in the annual Purchase Order issued by the Buyer as
set forth in Article 4 herein.
2.2 With the exception of the part numbers listed in Exhibit B, Buyer
shall not issue and Seller shall not be obligated to perform under any
purchase order with respect to any part number for which the quantity

shall be Net 30 days.
2.4 Prices shall remain fixed and not subject to economic price
adjustment for deliveries for the term of this Agreement.
2.5 In the event Seller makes an engineering change to a part identified
on Exhibit A that results in the assignment of a different part number
to such re-engineered part (each, a "Modified Part"), Buyer and Seller
shall negotiate in good faith an appropriate price for such Modified
Part, taking into consideration the price of the original part as set
forth on Exhibit A, the costs incurred and effort expended by Seller in
making the engineering change and the projected ability of Seller to
recover its investment in making the engineering change through sales
other than to Buyer. Upon agreement of Buyer and Seller on an
appropriate price for a Modified Part, the Modified Part shall, ipso
facto, be incorporated into Exhibit A for purposes of this Agreement.
3. DELIVERY
3.1 Seller agrees to deliver the Supplies in accordance with the Buyer's
Purchase Order and Releases issued thereunder; provided, that deliveries
will not be required earlier than the Lead Time set forth in the

such cases, Seller agrees to undertake its best efforts to meet such
Need Dates. In order to assist Seller in planning for the delivery of
Supplies, the Buyer shall provide forecasts of its needs to Seller in
accordance with Article 4 herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during
the six-month period commencing as of the date hereof (the "Initial

specified on the Purchase Order to the extent necessary to meet its
delivery requirements hereunder, upon prior approval of Buyer, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (b) to delay delivery
of the Supplies required by any Release due to the inability of Seller
to procure sufficient quantities of packaging materials, provided that
at the conclusion of the Initial Period Seller shall have delivered
Supplies the aggregate value of which (i.e., quantity times price) shall
be equal to the aggregate value of Supplies required by all such
Releases issued during the Initial Period, subject to (a) above and
Section 3.4.
3.2 Buyer agrees to issue a Purchase Order and subsequent Releases for
delivery of Supplies under this Agreement, and make other purchases from
the Seller of integrated circuit products and ancillary services, in an

provided, that Buyer shall be entitled to a credit against its
subsequent purchase obligations under this Article 3.2 to the full
extent that its purchases in any month exceed the aggregate rate for
that month stated herein.
3.3 Seller shall maintain an inventory of specialized packing materials
(including but not limited to ceramic cer-quads and "xxxx-edge clips")
required to package the Supplies, in such quantity to ensure the delivery
of the Supplies within the specified Lead time.

annual period. Subject to the requirements of Article 3.2 herein, Buyer may
subsequently modify the Purchase Order delivery schedule with respect to
part numbers and quantities scheduled for delivery more than sixty (60)
days from the date of the said modification, by issuing a written delivery
release ("Release") to the Seller; delivery schedules within a sixty-day
window shall be considered firm and may only be modified by mutual
agreement. Seller shall acknowledge and completely perform all Releases,
subject to the availability of Buyer-furnished wafers and dies.
