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
demonstrates that the shipment failed to meet the relevant
Specifications due to National workmanship and materials,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may at its option either:
-6-
(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 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%
-8-
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

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
-9-
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.
7.3 Consistent with standard practices of issuing specific Device
level details of part numbers to be assembled on a weekly or
periodic basis, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
-10-
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 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
-11-
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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ 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 mutu-
-12-
ally 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 only made in an attempt to
make up for any underutilization of capacity thereby caused by
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
-13-
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

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 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.

Exhibit K
1. Shortly prior to the conclusion of the first six (6) fiscal
periods of this Agreement ("Fiscal Half"), the Parties shall meet in order to
determine new prices for assembly services for each Facility for the second
Fiscal Half. At that meeting the Parties will review the manufacturing history
during such part of the first Fiscal Half, for which such information shall be
available, in order to determine each Facility's actual manufacturing cost base,
which shall be consistent with National's standard cost accounting practices in
effect as of the Effective Date (the "Reference Cost Base" per applicable
Facility). For each Facility if the Reference Cost Base, plus a twenty-five
percent (25%) markup is less than the price applicable for the first Fiscal
Half, prices for the second Fiscal Half for that Facility will be equal to its
Reference Cost Base, plus a twenty-five percent (25%) markup. Otherwise, the
prices for assembly services for the applicable Facility will remain the same as
during the first Fiscal Half.
The applicable Reference Cost Base and second Fiscal Half prices
will remain in effect for each Facility for the remaining term of this
Agreement. Shortly prior to the conclusion of the eighteenth (18th) fiscal
period of this Agreement, and every six (6) fiscal periods thereafter, the
Parties shall meet in order to determine National's actual manufacturing costs,
which shall be consistent with National's standard cost accounting practices in
effect as of the Effective Date, for the preceding Fiscal Half. If a Facility's
actual costs during the previous Fiscal Half were lower than its Reference Cost
Base, the Parties shall calculate what ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ would have paid if such actual
costs had been used in originally setting the prices, rather than the applicable
Reference Cost Base. National shall give ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ a credit equal to fifty
percent (50%) of the savings ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ would have realized if it had paid the
recalculated prices. No monies will be owing to or from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or to or from
National if National's actual costs during the preceding Fiscal Half were higher
than the applicable Reference Cost Base.
2. The prices for standard assembly and test services purchased
during a National fiscal year in excess of the Forecast volumes will be
negotiated by the Parties on a case by case basis.
3. Pricing for any extension and/or ramp-down period beyond the
first thirty-nine (39) fiscal periods of this Agreement will be negotiated in
good faith by the Parties.
