the right to renegotiate the price and/or its capacity commitments
hereunder if such changes will have an adverse effect on National's
assembly or test capacity.
4.0 DEVICE ACCEPTANCE/QUALIFICATION/RAMP UP
4.1 Should National agree to add new package types requested by
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, National shall utilize its Best Efforts to complete
qualification assembly of new package types as soon as possible,
including qualification lots. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall reimburse National for
the full costs of equipment, tooling and one time start up costs
required to manufacture new packages that National will use
exclusively for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, otherwise such costs will be shared.
4.2 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for specifying and performing any
qualification testing deemed necessary.
4.3 National reserves the right to refuse assembly of any new Devices
which violate National internal design or processing requirements
that are introduced after the Effective Date.

schedule, which may be subject to subsequent reduction by National
in the event unforeseen problems are encountered by National with
yields, process, capacity support, quality/reliability or other
product or process features. National shall immediately notify
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in writing of the necessity of any such reductions.
5.0 INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE AND WARRANTY
5.1 For those Devices not tested by National, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall conduct
incoming acceptance tests within ten (10) days after delivery at its
test facility. Upon completion of such tests, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall
promptly report any shortage, damage or defective Devices in any
shipment. In the case of defective Devices found by Fairchild to
exceed applicable AQL and/or PPM Limits in effect as of the
Effective Date, or as subsequently agreed to in writing by the
Parties, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall promptly ship samples of defective Devices
to National for verification. If such testing
-6-
demonstrates that the shipment failed to meet the relevant
Specifications due to National workmanship and materials, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
may at its option either:
(a) deduct the defective Devices' purchase price from National's
invoice, in which event ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, if requested by
National, return to National the damaged or defective Devices
at National's risk and expense; or
(b) return the damaged or defective Devices to National, at
National's risk and expense, for credit; or
(c) scrap the defective Devices at National's request for credit.
5.2 National warrants that the services provided to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder
shall conform to all applicable Specifications for assembly and/or
test and shall be free from defects in material and National's
workmanship. Such warranty, however, shall not apply to the design
or operation of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ supplied Die incorporated in the
Devices. This warranty is limited to a period of one (1) year from
the date of delivery to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. If, during the one year period:
(i) National is notified promptly in writing upon discovery of any
such defect in any Device with a detailed description; and
(ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives a return material authorization number from
National and returns such Device to the applicable Facility
at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ expense for inspection; and
(iii) National's examination reveals that the Device is indeed
defective and does not meet the applicable Specification or
is defective in materials or National's workmanship and such
problems are not caused by accident, abuse, misuse, neglect,
improper storage, handling, packaging or installation,
repair, alteration or improper testing or use by someone
other than National
then, within a reasonable time, National shall credit ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for
such defective Device. National shall reimburse ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the
transportation charges paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in returning such defective
Devices
-7-
to National. The performance of this warranty shall not act to
extend the one (1) year warranty period for any Device(s) repaired
or replaced beyond that period applicable to such Device(s) as
originally delivered.
5.3 THE FOREGOING WARRANTY CONSTITUTES NATIONAL'S EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY,
AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.
NATIONAL MAKES AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ RECEIVES NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ON
THE SERVICES PERFORMED HEREUNDER, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, AND NATIONAL SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
6.0 CAPACITY; VOLUME COMMITMENTS; PRODUCTION PLANNING
6.1 All planning herein will be done under National's accounting
calendar which currently divides its fiscal year into four (4) equal
fiscal quarters, each of which consists of three (3) fiscal periods.
The first two (2) periods of each quarter are of four (4) weeks in
duration and the third period is of (5) weeks duration.
6.2 Two (2) weeks prior to the end of each National fiscal period, or as
otherwise agreed by the Parties, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will provide to National
a baseline quantity of assembly starts set forth in terms of product
family, package and pin count, for the next eight (8) fiscal periods
(the "Capacity Request"). ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ initial Capacity Request and
National's Assured Capacity response formats are set forth herein at
Exhibit B.
6.3 Each fiscal period, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may make changes to the Capacity
Request in accordance with the following table, provided that the
maximum Capacity Request for each package and pin count module does
not exceed ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ share of each package and pin count module's
installed equipment capacity. Any changes outside those permitted
under the following table must be by mutual consent of the Parties.
Fiscal Periods in the
Capacity Request Permitted Changes
--------------------- -----------------
Period 1 Fixed
Period 2 +/-10%
Period 3 +/-20%
Period 4 +/-40%

Period 5 +/-40%
Period 6 +/-40%
Period 7 +/-40%
Period 8 +/-40%
6.4 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ share of a package and pin count module's installed
equipment capacity will equal the previous National Assured Capacity
for that module, plus that percentage of any excess capacity
available in the package and pin count module equal to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
percentage of the currently utilized capacity in said module.
Installed equipment capacity by package and pin count module is set
forth herein at Exhibit C.
6.5 One (1) work week after receipt of the Capacity Request, National
shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with a response to such Capacity Request,
the "National Assured Capacity". The National Assured Capacity must
guarantee the amount requested in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ latest Capacity
Request, provided that any changes to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ latest Capacity
Request are within the limits of Paragraph 6.3. National shall
utilize its Best Efforts to comply with any requests by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
for capacity above those which are permitted under Paragraph 6.3. In
any case, National shall be obligated hereunder to provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
with the assembly starts guaranteed in the National Assured Capacity
response. The initial National Assured Capacity response shall be
the last response provided prior to the Effective Date. Set forth

6.6 The timetable for the rolling eight fiscal period Capacity Request,
the National Assured Capacity response, purchase order release and
detailed Device level assembly starts request for the next fiscal
period are set forth in Exhibit D hereto.
7.0 PURCHASE ORDERS
7.1 All purchases and sales between National and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be
initiated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ issuance of written purchase orders sent by
either first class mail or facsimile. By agreement of the Parties,
purchase orders may also be sent and acknowledged by electronic data
exchange or other mutually satisfactory system. Such "blanket"
purchase orders shall be issued once per fiscal quarter for assembly
starts three (3) fiscal periods in the future. They shall state the
product family, package and pin count, and shipping and invoicing
instructions. National shall accept purchase orders through a
written or electronic acknowledgment. Upon receipt of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
detailed Device level assembly starts request for the next fiscal
period, National shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with a Product delivery
schedule either on a weekly basis as assembly is started or for the
assembly starts for the entire fiscal period, as the Parties may
agree. The purchase orders may utilize the first three (3) fiscal
periods forecast in the eight period rolling forecast supplied
pursuant to Section 6, as the embodiment of the purchase order for
specifying the assembly starts by package and pin count.
7.2 In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and either Party's purchase order, acknowledgment, or
similar forms, priority shall be determined as follows:
(a) typewritten or handwritten terms on the face of a written
purchase order, acknowledgment or similar document or in the
main body of an electronic equivalent which have been
specifically accepted in writing by the other Party's Program
Manager;
(b) the terms of this Agreement;
(c) preprinted terms incorporated in the purchase order,
acknowledgment or similar document.
-10-
7.3 Consistent with standard practices of issuing specific Device level
details of part numbers to be assembled on a weekly or periodic
basis, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may unilaterally change the part number to be
manufactured, provided that National agrees that the change does not
negatively impact National's loadings and provided further that
there is no change in the package and pin count to be used. A change
that will negatively impact loading or alter the package and pin
count may only be directed upon National's written agreement, which
shall utilize its Best Efforts to comply with such requested change.
The specific part number detail shall be submitted by first class
mail or facsimile. By written agreement of the Parties, specific
part number detail may also be sent by electronic data exchange, or
other mutually satisfactory system.
7.4 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall request delivery dates which are consistent with
National's reasonable lead times for each Device as indicated at the
time ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ purchase order is placed. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, National shall utilize its Best Efforts to accommodate
requests by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for quick turnarounds or "hot lots", which
includes prototype lots. Hot lot cycle times shall be a fifty
percent (50%) reduction of standard cycle time with a $2,000 lot
charge.
7.5 National may manufacture lots of any size which satisfy the
requirements of effective manufacturing. However, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ must
place orders for full flow and prototype Products in minimum lot
sizes of three thousand (3,000) Devices.
8.0 PRICING AND PAYMENT
8.1 Set forth herein at Exhibit F is the forecasted volume of assembly
services that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will purchase from National during the
initial thirty-nine (39) fiscal periods (the "Forecast Volumes").
The Forecast Volumes are for pricing purposes under this Section 8
only and may vary in magnitude and mix in practice, whereupon the
prices applicable to the revised magnitude and mix may also vary.
8.2 The Parties hereby acknowledge that the prices for
-11-
assembly and test services to be provided by National to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
as set forth herein are determined based on the collateral
transactions and ongoing relationship between the Parties as
expressed in the Purchase Agreement, Revenue Side Letter and
corresponding ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Foundry Services Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Assembly Services Agreement and Mil/Aero Wafer and Services
Agreement, all of even date herewith between the Parties
(collectively, the "Operating Agreements"). Set forth in Exhibit F
hereto are the prices which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay to National for
standard assembly and test services hereunder during the first six
(6) fiscal periods of this Agreement. The prices in Exhibit F for
fiscal periods 7 through 39 are for information purposes only and
are based on the Parties' best estimate of forecast volumes and
projected costs.
8.3 The methodology under which prices which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay to
National for standard assembly and test services hereunder after the
first six (6) fiscal periods of this Agreement is set forth herein
at Exhibit K.
8.4 For purposes of Exhibit K, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or any "Big 6" accounting firm
designated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall have reasonable rights, not more than
twice per fiscal year, to audit the books and records of National
relevant to the pricing terms of this Agreement in order to come to
agreement with National with regard to National's actual
manufacturing costs.
8.5 Prices are quoted and shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. Such prices are
on an FOB ship point basis. Payment terms are net thirty (30) from
date of invoice. Miscellaneous services may be invoiced separately.
8.6 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay, in addition to the prices quoted or invoiced,
the amount of any freight, insurance, special handling and duties.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall also pay all sales, use, excise or other similar tax
applicable to the sale of goods or provision of services covered by
this Agreement, or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall supply National with an
appropriate tax exemption certificate.
8.7 Quoted prices are based on the use of standard National processes
and on the assumption that Fair-
-12-
child's product is readily accommodated by National's
assembly/handling equipment and processes. Any changes that must be
made thereto shall result in additional charges to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that
are mutually agreed to by the Parties.
8.8 Unless otherwise noted, quoted prices for assembly shall include
packing, marking and testing in accordance with the Specifications
for Devices that are in production as of the Effective Date. For new
Devices added after the Effective Date, pricing will reflect
specifications and any special requirements for the Device, such as
multi-insertion testing.
8.9 Should yields below historical levels be directly attributable to
Die, materials, processes or documentation provided by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
then ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be charged for the full price of Devices begun
in assembly, including handling, incurred by National in processing
such units.
8.10 Should ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ terminate any order prior to process completion,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be charged a prorated portion of the full price of
such Device, subject to a negotiated adjustment, based on the
process termination point, including handling incurred by National
in processing the total quantity started in assembly.
8.11 National may invoice ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for complete or partial lots (kits).
8.12 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall in no event be required to pay prices in excess of
those charged by National for other third party customers, for
substantially similar services sold on substantially similar terms
(e.g., volume, payment terms, manufacturing criteria, contractual
commitments vs. spot buys, etc.). In the event National desires to
perform services for other third party customers at such lower
prices, National shall immediately notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
shall begin receiving the benefit of such lower price at the same
time as such other third party customer. This Paragraph 8.12 shall
not apply to the prices to be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder for the
first twelve (12) fiscal periods of this Agreement, or if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
fails to honor its fixed commitments under Section 6 and to the
extent that such sales by National to third party customers are
-13-
only made in an attempt to make up for any underutilization of
capacity thereby caused by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
8.13 For assembly and test services not reflected in Exhibit F, terms
shall be on an individual purchase order basis at prices to be
negotiated by the Parties using a methodology based on that set
forth in Exhibit K.
9.0 DELIVERY; RESCHEDULING AND CANCELLATION
9.1 National shall make reasonable and diligent efforts to deliver
assembled and/or tested Devices on the delivery dates published to
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any shipment made within +/- 3 days of the shipment
date(s) published to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall constitute timely shipment.
9.2 All Devices delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall
be suitably packed for shipment in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ specified containers,
marked for shipment to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ address set forth in the

agent chosen by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. National shall not be responsible for
delays in shipment resulting from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ failure to supply
National with an adequate supply of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ specified
containers. Should ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fail to designate a carrier, forwarding
agent or type of conveyance, National shall make such designation in
conformance with its standard shipping practices. Shipment will be
F.O.B. shipping point, at which time risk of loss and title shall
pass to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Shipments will be subject to incoming inspection
as set forth in Paragraph 5.1 above.
9.3 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, with National's prior written consent, reschedule
delivery of any order of assembled and/or tested Devices once each
fiscal period.
9.4 Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may cancel
any purchase order at least two (2) weeks prior to the commencement
of work by National without charge, provided that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
reimburses National for the cost of any unique raw materials
purchased after such purchase order has been placed, and provided
further that National had provided ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with a listing of
materials it

portion of the assets of the other Party; or if the other
Party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
(b) the other Party fails to perform substantially any material
covenant or obligation, or breaches any material
representation or warranty provided for herein; provided,
however, that no right of termination shall arise hereunder
until sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice by the
Party who has failed to
-17-
perform from the other Party, specifying the failure of
performance, and said failure having not been remedied or
cured during said sixty (60) day period.
14.3 Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights granted hereunder

-18-
same standard of care in protecting the Confidential Information of

seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such
other Party. Subject to the foregoing, the Party that receives such
request may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent
