Exhibit 1 to Addendum A

Intel’s Return Material Authorization Procedure

Within the applicable warranty period, if a Product does not meet the limited warranty set forth in Section 5 of Addendum A to which this Exhibit 1 is attached, the Product may be returned to Intel to perform Failure Analysis Correlation Requested (FACR), provided that the customer promptly notifies Intel in writing that such Product is nonconforming and furnishes an explanation of the deficiency in accordance with Addendum A.

Intel will request a quantity of the affected material to be submitted first for FACR and failure analysis, with customer support to verify the Product is nonconforming. Customer will provide adequate fault isolation support to assist Intel with physical failure analysis (FA). If the FACR process finds the product to be nonconforming and concludes the failure root cause is subject to the limited warranty set forth in Section 5 of Addendum A, Intel will provide customer with a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. Transportation charges for the return of Product to Intel will be paid by Intel. Upon receipt of defective material at Intel’s RMA warehouse, Intel will have a reasonable time (not to exceed three (3) business days) to elect the applicable remedy set forth in Section 5 of Addendum A.

Allocation.

2.5.1.

Until such time as the Reservation Quantity has been fulfilled or the Delivery Window has lapsed:

(a)

Intel will offer to Company for purchase the greater of (i) a pro-rata share (the “Pro-Rata Share”) of the Available Supply as determined based upon the amount of Company’s deposits as compared to the total of all deposits made by all other customers making deposits for the Available Supply, and (ii) [***]% of the Available Supply; and

(b)

In the event another customer that has made a supply reservation declines the share of the Available Supply offered to it for purchase, Intel will first make that customer’s share available to the non-declining customers that have supply reservations with Intel on a pro-rata basis as determined based upon the amount of each non-declining customer’s deposits as compared to the total deposits made by all non-declining customers

2.5.2.

For a period of two (2) years after the Reservation Quantity has been fulfilled or the Delivery Window has lapsed, Intel will offer to Company for purchase a minimum of 25% of Available Supply provided:

(a)

Intel has no obligation to offer more than the volume forecasted by Company twelve (12) months in advance; and

(b)

Intel may reduce the percentage offered on a going forward basis based on Company’s average purchase percentage over the immediate prior 3 months By way of example:

if Company has ordered [***]%, [***]%, [***]% over the prior months, then the applicable minimum is [***]%.

2.5.3.

After the period defined in Section 2.5.2 above, if Available Supply remains constrained, Intel will allocate Available Supply to Company on a fair and equitable basis as determined by Intel in a manner that takes into consideration, among other things, Company’s purchase volume over the preceding three (3) months as compared to the purchase volume of other customers and Company’s forecasted volume.


		Page 19 of 31

2.5.4.

The term “Available Supply” means at least [***] % of the supply of BZM2 SKUs in Exhibit 1 to this Addendum offered by Intel for sale during any month.

2.5.5.

Intel does not guarantee any volume or have any obligation to continue to manufacture any supply of the Products under this Agreement.

2.6.

Purchase Commitment. During the Delivery Window, Company will purchase at least the Reservation Quantity from Intel.

3.	SKUs and Pricing. See Exhibit 1 of this Addendum

4.	Ordering.

4.1.

Purchase Orders. Intel will notify Company when BZM2 supply is available for order as part of the next production release approximately six (6) months prior to the expected delivery date. Upon notification, Company will have ten (10) business days to place a non-cancellable Order for a quantity up to the amount offered by Intel Company’s Order will be split between the SKUs in Exhibit 1 to this Addendum based on the percentages provided by Intel based on its expected manufacturing output. In the event Company declines to purchase the full amount of supply offered by Intel, Intel may immediately offer that supply to other customers. Each Order is subject to the terms of this Agreement, in particular Addendum A (Terms and Conditions of Sale for [***]), and will specify the quantity, price, and shipment instructions.

4.2.

Delivery and Quantities. Delivery dates and quantity availability, as described in Intel’s Order Acknowledgement, are an essential part of each Order, and Intel will make reasonable efforts to deliver the BZM2 units in accordance with the agreed dates, subject to Intel’s suppliers’ available capacity and manufacturing yield. You may reschedule a BZM2 shipment only once for a delivery date no later than 3 months from the originally scheduled delivery date. Company’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Intel’s sole and exclusive liability for a volume shortfall will be the refund of the pre-payment. The quantities for each SKU under each Order are estimates and will be adjusted prior to delivery to reflect the output from that recent manufacturing lot.

4.3.

Option to cancel for shipment delay. If, for whatever reason, other than Force Majeure, Intel fails to ship the agreed quantity of BZM2 units within four months of the agreed shipment date, Company may notify Intel in writing and cancel any undelivered quantities in the affected shipment. Upon such a cancellation, Intel will refund Company’s pre-payment for the cancelled shipment. This cancellation does not affect other shipments of any other Order. Company’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Intel’s sole and exclusive liability for a volume shortfall against an accepted Order will be the refund of Company’s pre-payment.

4.4.

Pre-PRQ Orders. Intel may offer BZM2 supply prior to Intel’s production release qualification process (“PRQ”) being completed for the purposes of providing Company early access to BZM2. Company acknowledges that Orders placed prior to PRQ are placed at Company’s sole risk and the delivered units may contain design, manufacturing, or quality flaws which may degrade the products performance or lifespan. If the units do not meet Intel’s PRQ requirements or they


		Page 20 of 31

are ready to be shipped prior to Intel’s PRQ process completion, the units will be shipped under a waiver and will not be warranted by Intel. In the event BZM2 product reaches PRQ status after the Order Acknowledgement, but prior to shipment, the warranty under this Agreement will apply. Company has no obligation to place orders for pre-PRQ units.

4.4.1.

Any offer of pre-PRQ units will not be included in determining the amount of supply offered by Intel during the Delivery Window when calculating any unused Deposit that is eligible for refund to Company or forfeiture to Intel. If Company chooses to purchase pre-PRQ units, the Deposit will be applied as a credit to those units purchased.

5.	Payment.

5.1.

Company Information. Company will provide customary financial information to Intel for the purposes of setting up a direct purchase account and completing a credit check.

5.2.

Payment. Payment to Intel for each Order acknowledged will be due as follows:

•

[***]

•

[***]

Failure to pay the first payment will nullify Intel’s Order Acknowledgement and no production will be started. Failure to pay the second payment will result in a shipment hold and, if the second payment is not paid within sixty (60) days after the date on which the second payment is due, the order will be cancelled in its entirety without refund to Company of the first payment and will be considered a material breach of the Agreement for which Intel may immediately terminate the Agreement. For Orders beyond the Reservation Quantity, Intel and Company will negotiate in good faith about shortening the pre-payment window based on current market conditions Bank Account information for payment is listed below and is applicable to electronic transactions only. Intel may change the payment instructions with advanced written notice.
